| Oct 5 09:21:49 | Office Novice | ♥ 3 | This is spectacular! Wasn't prepared for heavy metal hell to suddenly break loose. :D I especially love how someone's always casually crashing through the window in the final "You're fired" scene. Very polished and funny, congratulations! :) | |
| Oct 5 10:07:08 | 45m 19s | Into the Uncertain Abyss | ♥ 2 | This has a great action RPG feel to it (and some of the most dangerous rats I've ever encountered in a game) and surprisingly rich content. I think the most important thing to improve would be the controls, especially when picking up stuff and in combat. It was quite hard to figure out the right moment to push the attack key in order to not be hit by the enemy. For single enemies it mostly worked out well and I got the key in the cavern, but the bandits on the road were too much for me. |
| Oct 5 23:14:45 | 13h 07m | Super Misfire or: One Gun To Shoot Them All | ♥ 1 | Really fun and addictive gameplay! The core idea of constantly switching weapons works very well. Love those situations where you're stuck in a corner with two big red guys chasing you and two of your weapons are a banana peel and a confetti cannon. And of course, half of the time I was running away from my own traitorous bees. :D Have nothing negative to say about it, had just a lot of fun with the game! :) |
| Oct 6 00:07:00 | 52m 15s | Mint | ♥ 3 | I immediately wanted to play this as I saw the screenshots, and I wasn't disappointed! This game captures the "alone in space" mood really well, and I wasn't expecting the nice zero gravity movement. There isn't much gameplay in the traditional sense, and maybe plugging in cables or fixing some wires would have been nice to feel more like doing actual repairs, but in terms of atmosphere it's a great experience. I didn't completely get the twist ending though (spoiler alert!): If she's the only one missing for so many years, where did everyone else on the ship go? Or if they're still there, why is the rest of the crew not considered missing? Or has the ship been cloned in some way and the other ones have arrived safely all those years ago? Or maybe the alien is not as trustworthy as it seems and told her a made-up story for some unknown sinister reason! |
| Oct 6 11:53:48 | 11h 46m | You Can Not Start This Game | ♥ 1 | A very fun entry, it's like a crossover between a bug fixing session and an audio book. :D Love the hand-made menu interface, great idea and well executed! The game crashed when trying to close itself, but considering the theme it was a perfect fit of course and more of a feature than a bug. ;) |
| Oct 6 16:22:12 | 4h 28m | GUNSTABLE MAYHEM | ♥ 1 | Really stunning, especially visually, and also a lot of fun to experiment with gameplay elements like shooting the core. What bothered me a bit was constantly having to press shift all the time to heal myself, I don't think that part added much to the experience and distracted me from the excellent shooter gameplay. Also, wall jumping could have been a bit smoother. But that's just nitpicking af course, considering you made this in 48 hours. All in all, a very impressive effort! |
| Oct 6 23:15:21 | 6h 53m | Jingoku | ♥ 1 | I can only repeat what many others have already said, everything about this is awesome! What fascinates me the most about it is that it's somehow calming and thrilling at the same time. And the hat game is hilariously funny - that's a "scream at the screen" kind of challenge. :D Never managed to place the damn hat a single time, but I will keep trying! ;) |
| Oct 7 12:40:14 | 13h 24m | Riot City | ♥ 2 | Great music, had to spend some time on the intro screen until the game started itself. :D Had fun figuring out the game mechanics as well, though the rioting people were much too strong for me on level 3. Maybe my "Spend all money for soldiers" approach was a bit too aggressive! |
| Oct 7 23:07:52 | 10h 27m | Chevalchemy: A Hoof of Concept | ♥ 1 | Well, that's what I call a brilliant idea. :D Had a lot of fun with the game! Sometimes an ingredient got stuck in the air when I threw it too fast, but apart from that the physics system worked really well and all the challenges were fun to solve. |
| Oct 8 11:08:14 | 12h 00m | Save the Reactor | ♥ 3 | This has to be the most stressful game of the jam. :D Didn't save the reactor yet, but enjoyed it a lot. Excellent graphics! |
| Oct 8 11:43:23 | 35m 09s | Orbitris | ♥ 1 | I'm really bad at this, my biggest success was finally managing to clear a single line. :D Great idea though, haven't seen any tetris game like this before. |
| Oct 8 12:20:39 | 37m 16s | Project S.L.I.M.E. | ♥ 1 | Like the idea, fun to play as well. I have resorted to the same strategy as others here and spawned all units at one place to have them all receive the buffs, this way it was a bit too easy to make it to the end. Maybe there should be a rule that prevents you from placing your units on the same spot or some other element that weakens the effect of this strategy. Also it would have been nice to zoom in and take a closer look at the nice monsters as in the start screen! :) |
| Oct 11 11:28:31 | 71h 07m | Devil's Sitter | ♥ 2 | Fun game, especially on the last day when things get really hectic. The chairs drove me crazy, but I guess it was meant to be that way. :D |
| Oct 12 05:43:56 | 18h 15m | Karawan | ♥ 2 | This game is fantastic, absolutely enjoyed it! The two-tile forest on the first map seemed very hard to get through first, but it was very satisfying to finally find a way around it with the help of some bridge building and water disappearing spells. Played through all three scenarios and had a lot of fun. This could easily be published as a full game with more scenarios. Great achievement, congratulations! :) I encountered one small bug: One time I managed to somehow move some farmers on the same tile as my caravan leader and were not able to continue moving the caravan afterwards. One other minor issue: In my opinion the auto-harvesting enhancement should be enabled from the start, as manually assigning workers to tiles feels a little bit tedious and does not add anything valuable to the gameplay. You should always be able to reassign workers, of course. |
| Oct 12 13:26:22 | 7h 42m | The Niland Incident | ♥ 1 | The game has a cool intro and a nice, motivating feeling of progression. I felt that it's a bit too easy to finish though once you died a few times and raised the stats. Maybe it would be more interesting to not permanently raise all stats but to let the player keep only certain bonuses when restarting. |
| Oct 15 23:22:06 | 81h 55m | Vomit Up the World | ♥ 2 | Well, after playing this, I absolutely appreciate not having to roll around all the time in real life. :D |
| Oct 15 23:58:44 | 36m 38s | Vintage SPACE Restaurant with AI | ♥ 1 | This was a lot of fun, and it's looking great as well! Loved how there were more and more gameplay elements added throughout the game and would've liked to play even more levels at the end. Great entry! :) |
| Oct 16 13:03:34 | 13h 04m | Wobbly Penguins | ♥ 6 | This is the first Ludum Dare game that actually scared me! The warning on the title screen already gave me a feeling that something unusual might happen, but I certainly didn't expect THAT. :D Great entry! |
| Oct 19 23:04:09 | 82h 00m | Ludens Fortuna | ♥ 1 | This is super cool! I never played a card game like this, feels like you invented a new Solitaire. :D The rules work really well and it's very addictive and fun to figure out how many (and which) cards to play before ending the turn. It's also definitely not too easy for me, didn't manage to win it yet. Have nothing negative to say about it, awesome entry! :) |
| Oct 19 23:30:46 | 26m 37s | Toad Towers | ♥ 2 | Great idea and fun to play as well! The audio was stuttering sometimes, but apart from that it's working really well (and the tower looks great, frogs too of course :)). I got stuck in level 4 though as I didn't manage to stop the tornado. Are there any cards I missed? There were cards against snakenadoes, but that's a totally diffferent kind of catastrophe obviously! :D I guess there has to be something you an do against tornadoes but nothing I tried worked so far. |
| Oct 20 11:38:18 | 12h 07m | The Un's Stable | ♥ 3 | Really great game in pretty much every aspect! It gets a bit repetitive after a few dozen days, so more gameplay elements, goals or new kinds of challenges on later days would be great improvements if you want to keep working on the game. But that's just nitpicking in the context of this game jam of course. Great work! |
