| Apr 27 18:57:05 | Shovel is just Love Spelled Backwards | ♥ 4 | Nice game! For some reason it begun to stutter at the end, but I played it through and it was funny. I liked the pixel physics and heavy metal mood.... And the cute redhead protagonist π | |
| Apr 27 19:00:23 | 3m 18s | Under The Pit | ♥ 0 | Your file link might be broken. I couldn't download the game :( broken.png |
| Apr 27 19:20:37 | 20m 14s | Dive into | ♥ 3 | I like where you went with the theme :) Graphics were nice. Gameplay was a bit weird, I wasn't sure if I had to try to get somewhere or just kill everything... So I killed everything and won the game. Could use joypad as alternative to keyboard. I used joyToKey to use a controller as I'm not dextrous enough to play so quickly with keyboard. |
| Apr 27 19:34:50 | 14m 13s | Deep Sleep Explorer | ♥ 4 | Wow that got intense! Some of the tasks I was not sure what to do. Gread mood, it felt like colourtherapy :) |
| Apr 27 20:11:27 | 36m 37s | There, Again | ♥ 2 | I liked the game, nails hard platforming. The jump and grab buttons were though in unfamiliar places in the controller and that hinged me back too much in the part where you had to throw the rock to the wall and jump from it in the air, so I had to stop there. I've used to have jump in A and grab in X in Xbox controller. So I hope for customizable controls of standardized controls at least... ...also keyboard controls didn't work at all if you start using controller, so I couldn't skip the levels to see forward. I don't know if the game would have used the theme cleverly later, now it was ok as you go deeper to cave. Game did nothing especially new but it was great for what it was: Level design was good, I liked the pixel art and the mood that the music set :) I also liked that there was simpler challenge first with the guy and then a bit more advanced challenge right after with the lady. I liked how you could look the same scenery in two different ways one after another. |
| Apr 28 17:44:55 | 21h 33m | Muggy Lake | ♥ 2 | Great mood! You brought the anxiety well with the darkness and the music&sounds. Simple, but good horror elements. I've never before played a horror game with a boat, so extra point for innovation there :) At the end I died after I already had made it. I don't think that was intentional. |
| Apr 28 17:55:18 | 10m 23s | SelkΓΆ | ♥ 4 | Well that was weird ending π ...great mood and goes nicely if somewhat obviously along the theme. Diving was one of our ideas too, but we went with shrinking. Anyway, this was very relaxing single button adventure, I loved the atmosphere with music and art :) |
| Apr 28 18:20:04 | 24m 46s | Disco Inferno | ♥ 3 | I think I played something alot like this a year ago in 'keep it alive' Ludum... Something called "dance dance magic unicorn" or something like that. It was awesome and so was this! Anyways, to the details... Neat character graphics, simple but good designs. Made me think of one of my favourite games, Crypt of the Necrodancer :) ...use of theme was good if quite obvious though. It was the n:th hell-game I played this Ludum :D. Good and funny voice acting. (we tried voice acting now in our game the first time ever and it's so hard to get right) Music was a good jam and sounds were ballzy. Also, listen to CMX much? π Game was alltogether well polished and the length was enough but not to overstay it's welcome. Again, very professional game for this little time! |
| Apr 28 18:35:36 | 15m 32s | Check Port for Moisture | ♥ 1 | Couldn't get past the piranha and I quit after trying some times because I couldn't skip the intro (or didn't find the key to do so) Anyways innovative idea making this kind of turn based puzzle :) Graphics were simple but nice, music was simple and got irritating before long. I would have liked to turn it off, or volume down compared to sfx. Ok use of the theme. Intro looked funny and it made true one of my phobias, dropping the smartphone into water :D |
| Apr 28 18:45:00 | 9m 24s | Hellevator Operator | ♥ 4 | n:th hell game today, but a good one :) ...played it through in first try, but I ended up with 0 seconds in many rounds so the difficulty was perfect for me! Atmosphere was good, graphics were fitting and sounds and music quite minimalistic but professional. |
| Apr 28 19:38:35 | 53m 35s | No sun | ♥ 2 | Great mood and nice smooth animations :) ...gameplay was ok, but a bit short game. |
| Apr 29 12:33:07 | 16h 54m | Dante's Refrigerator | ♥ 0 | Cool game π ...minimalistic graphics and music worked to get mood of a legacy console game. I would have liked a bit more puzzles and maybe a bossfight kinda thing but it's hard to fit much in such short time. |
| Apr 29 12:49:12 | 16m 05s | Nightbear | ♥ 1 | Looks great! I'll save this for later and try it with my wife when we have time. I will then give a full review :) |
| Apr 30 08:50:52 | 20h 01m | Digging In | ♥ 2 | I got to 3k something. Nice simple game that probably works as well in a smartphone. Clean graphics and fitting audio for pressurising atmosphere :) Only grievance was that you can't see forward enough to tactically use the dash. Now it's more up to luck if you manage to avoid one rock and not crash into another. Otherwise neat little game that looks well polished! |
| Apr 30 20:25:41 | 11h 34m | Deep In the Ocean | ♥ 2 | Nice simple game. I didn't first know what fishes are bad so I just evaded everything until I accidentally caught a fish π Animations were ok, I liked that there were details like little jellyfish. I would have liked to see some kind of end screen that would show your end stats like score and depth and maybe also show how many fish you've caught. Good first gamejam entry! |
| May 1 18:12:38 | 21h 46m | The Fall of Alice | ♥ 1 | Well this was an ususual game, I give you that πΈ ...I liked the idea of falling and reading the story, it was innovative at least. I would have maybe wanted to slow down at some point where I missed some words (both didn't have time to read them and didn't reach them in time). Funny pixelart and fine, although repetitive, background gfx. Sounds were ok, but maybe some additional background tone or tune would have enhanced the mood. I would also liked to have some items to come upwards or anything to give a bit of variety to the fall. Anyways, the whole thing was kinda cute π |
| May 1 20:57:21 | 2h 44m | Deep Rescue | ♥ 1 | Looking good. I loved the pixelart in all the creatures and how the light reflected on the mines. Music was also great. This game was all about the mood that light and darkness and mystical music made, and what a mood it was! π Game was well polished. Only thing that stood out like a sore thumb was that windows-style button. If it was also made in same pixel-arty style, the immersion would have stayd till the end. EDIT: also I would have liked to see a little bit more downwards, the mines came so surprisingly the first time I couldn't react to them. Next time I was prepared and made it all the way through. |
| May 1 21:07:35 | 10m 14s | Dive Deep | ♥ 1 | I liked the play with light and darkness and the stretching animation of the jellyfish :) ...some sounds or music might have built the mood even further. |
| May 1 21:23:56 | 16m 21s | Deep Diver | ♥ 1 | Very nice graphics. All the animations were really smooth and the fish looked good and everything fit together. Movement was a bit strange as the ship would leap long forward if I just tapped a directional button. Because of that I once got stuck and got eaten because of that. It wasn't also clear to me which fish should I evade and died once touching a big colourful fish that didn't look dangerous to me. I would had liked an end screen where my score was shown, now I didn't have time to see how much I scored. The background bubbling sound is actually calming. The collision sound is ok, but maybe could have had variants as it became jarring before long. There could have been more different sounds for example when collecting coins. p.s. I found your game because you had liked our Ludum Post in instagram :) |
| May 1 21:38:46 | 14m 50s | Halt | ♥ 1 | Funny game, the audio was hilarious. The whiny adventurers π Graphics were also nice and very cute. Mechanics were ok, but sometimes I couldn't use the grappling trident when I should have... or maybe the wall was too far. Enemy AI was good, as they could pathfind their way around places and do different attacks. Anyway, good game and story. I played it all the way through and had fun. Too bad the cat didn't actually help with the raids. p.s. found your game because you liked our instagram post about Ludum Dare |
| May 2 18:56:10 | 21h 17m | Doctor Shrink | ♥ 1 | We also made a platformer about doctor and shrinking π I think it's a little different than yours. This looks interesting, I'll try it π EDIT: okay, that was funny :D Graphics were great, a little polish would have been in place for the anuses edges, but you probably ran out of time. Legendary music and great sfx. Good puzzles and platforming. What is there not to like :) ...except maybo couple of places where you didn't know where you gonna fall. I think the usage of theme was also excellent! |
| May 3 07:09:19 | 12h 13m | Dome Romantik | ♥ 2 | Wow, this game is the personal favourite that I've played in this jam so far! Very polished, good and consistent artstyle, fitting sounds addictive gameplay. Everything is nice and simple and well described so it's easy to know what to do. I can't think of any critique about this π This could also be expanded soo much. I would gladly even pay for more of this in different planets, with different aliens, resources and tehcnologies, maybe even cooperative missions ppl manning different stations like in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime :) |
| May 4 07:10:54 | 24h 01m | Fire in the hole! | ♥ 1 | Beautiful explosion effects! π ...other than that, it's your classic artillery duel only in real time. The game ended many times before the enemy tank had fallen out of the screen. Sometimes the terrain didn't destroy even if it looked destroyed. Otherwise solid and neat small game π |
| May 4 07:33:26 | 22m 32s | birb | ♥ 0 | Beautiful game, I loved the uplifing mood :) Upgrades were a good mechanic and kept me hooked to the end. Also it was fun being a bird for a change and I liked the chirping when flying. Flying movement was a bit jumpy and didn't feel so tight, but maybe that was part of being a bird. It was a fun run overall! π |
| May 4 18:45:45 | 11h 12m | Bee Beesness | ♥ 1 | Great game idea! I loved sim ant back in the day and bees are just as interesting for an rts :) Awesome relaxing mood with the music and buzzing. There was not much to do yet. I believe that lots of content was left out. I could just add the foragers every year without facing problems, just keeping an eye to the honey amount. Pollen did not ever seem to run out, additional builders were hardly needed, guards did nothing and I'm not sure if drones were needed for the split. Split of course was a good way to cut the consumption if there were too many bees for the winter or too little space... But I never ran to either of those problems. Also some kind of tooltips or something would be good, as nothing ingame told which bee was which caste. You could even work with symbols for every action, as you had a good start already... then it would be international out of the box. Still, nice and very promising game! I'm waiting for an advanced version or even a full commercial game. Bees are a hot topic on the world right now and there certainly is space for a bee game in the scene π |
| May 4 19:03:44 | 17m 59s | Deep Lost | ♥ 2 | Great scary mood, I like platforming so this was definitely my cup of tea. I think you could consider the flashlight following the mouse all the way even if you're not facing that direction... Now it felt a bit unresponsive because of that. The falling sequence was maybe a bit too floaty and bugged so that when I died and started it again, there were no obstacles. Graphics were cool, and fit well to the creepy mood with the music. I liked the different enemies. The faces were a pain because of the mouse control thing, but they were not so frequent, so I could handle them. Nice touch adjusting the light power! I only understood why after my flashlight ran out π |
| May 4 19:50:35 | 46m 51s | Ore Lord | ♥ 0 | Phew, that was intense! Played it through :) Great mechanics, very nice art, music that keeps your heart pumping fast... I liked just about everything in this game. Maybe the beginning was a bit hard, but after a couple of starts once you got to the speed and got first golems of other than rock, it started to snowball forward. Shortcut keys became a must at the end side of the game as it was all but mayhem. It was a bit hard to drag the tools to golems at first when I hadn't read about the shortcuts. Overall very polished entry with a complete feeling! |
| May 4 20:27:21 | 36m 46s | Oceanographer Cat | ♥ 2 | Nice relaxing game, this would be fun for young children too as there are no dangers or conflict. There was something off with the movement though, the inertia changed direction rapidly. I think it has to do with gamemaker's default movement systems (haven't actually used it but the same thing happens in some basic movement in clickteam fusion). Also, pressing space to move towards mouse was weird... You could maybe stick to wasd -movement for this kind of game or alternatively put the swimming and photographing to mouse keys. Anyway, it was fun to search for things to photograph and nice that there was several number of the same entity so you could take picture from just one of them... and the sea would have seemed emptier if there was just one of everything. Art was also very nice and the mercat is just sweet! I wished she had more animation. |
| May 5 16:58:03 | 20h 30m | Afraid to Turn | ♥ 1 | Game itself was pretty simple, but the mood was great! |
| May 5 17:16:53 | 18m 50s | Octopus Dive | ♥ 0 | Solid relaxing game. I liked the music and sounds. Octopus animations were fluid and it was very satisfying see the tentacles catch a fish :) The octopus facts were interesting, but I couldn't get to the end as I was too hasty and an eel came before I could react to it. This game is not for rushing π |
| May 5 18:22:16 | 1h 05m | Diving Heroes | ♥ 0 | Great game! Resource gathering and upgrades kept me hooked all the way to the ending π Mood was great, the darkening sea and the music and the flow was very nice and relaxing that it took me to kind of trance. The friend grappling was a bit too powerful when you upgraded it, as it took you all the way to harmful stuff, so I ended up dying sometimes without being able to do anything. I don't know if it could be controlled to take smaller leaps at the top. Anyways, very nice and polished game overall! I enjoyed the credits "screen" idea π |
| May 6 16:36:06 | 22h 13m | Tato - Potato | ♥ 1 | Delicious sounds π tatoscore.png |
| May 11 19:28:38 | 122h 52m | Rabbit Rappel | ♥ 2 | Great and polished game! First I was wondering how to go forward over the gap, but when I had gone past that, the idea was clear to me. Nice puzzles and action. I also liked the chill soundtrack. The monsters did not look as good as the rest of the game, but were still startling me from the darkness. The use of theme was quite obvious choise, but I liked the ninja rope mechanics, that I haven't seen much after worms 2 back in the day. Overall a little frustrating but rewarding fun! :) |
| May 11 19:47:23 | 18m 45s | Cthulhu's Deep Dream | ♥ 1 | Nice game! The cute baby chtulhu somehow reminded me of Ernest The Vampire, as he wanted just to get some sleep and carried the pillow around π I'd like to make a special mention for teaching the game mechanics by making the player accidentally fall on a cultist in the beginning! It made me realize I can kill them by crushing, without ever telling it in any words π Animations were cute and the characters looked polished. I liked the cylinder effect on the edges. Music track was good for mood and not too intrusive, sounds were ok but there wasn't a lot of them. Jump puzzles were good, but in some places I would have liked to zoom out to see where I would fall if I went down. Overall good looking game with decent gameplay. Good work! |
| May 14 19:20:06 | 71h 32m | Clear the system! | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I liked the retro-style graphics, they reminded me of the time when I did animations with deluxe paint as a kid and wished I could make games. Minimap was also very cool! The game could have used more sounds - (hit sounds and engine sounds would have been good) or music and some variety of enemies to spice it up some. Enemies could have move around when they are not in range and start homing to you on range as they do now... So they wouldn't be sitting ducks. Still, it was fun blowing stuff up and I played it all the way through. Good gob! |
| May 20 09:29:00 | 134h 08m | Fallumns | ♥ 1 | Wow, this was an unexpected adventure! **Congratulations!** ...I have to troll my mother in law to playing this. She loves candy crush and such games and I want to see her reaction when the things start to unravel π |
| May 27 20:24:27 | 178h 55m | Ants Are Awesome | ♥ 0 | Nice work with the AI for this little of time! I'd like to see an advanced edition of this game as I loved Sim Ant back in the day :) |
| Jun 4 16:10:14 | 187h 45m | The Space Between Us | ♥ 1 | Game took couple of tries to master, the story and voice overs made me smile more than anything in this jam. The cadet having crush on the captain was just soo cute and that she babbled on and on in the end until I went to her like "shush, it's alright" ππ₯° |
| Sep 6 06:50:00 | 2246h 39m | Last Star Legionnaire | ♥ 1 | Damn, chrome is so sure this is a virus, it will delete the file... I managed download it with firefox, but now windows will delete the file when I try to open it. Maybe there has been recent changes to virus protection, because it seems others have been able to download this. I somehow missed this game back then but it looks very interesting! Too bad I couldn't try it now π |
