| Oct 4 01:05:08 | Snmuloc | ♥ 1 | Very cool take on the theme and a very interesting puzzle game! Requires a totally different strategy and feels very fresh despite its inspirations. | |
| Oct 4 18:50:00 | 17h 44m | Simply Blocks | ♥ 2 | Could play this for hours, tons of fun. The building restrictions inspire creativity. Thank you for this wonderful game. Here are some highlights: **LudumDare Logo** coolLD.png **'Tower of the Gods'** towerofgod.png **Archways** arches.png |
| Oct 4 23:44:42 | 4h 54m | Deathrail | ♥ 7 | Challenging little game! I couldn't move past the 'Journal #3' entry- not sure if that's the end or not. Using both WASD and QE to do everything was pretty tricky! I ended up using my other hand for Q and E which made it more managable. You have just enough here to create an interesting atmosphere and mood, and the art is pretty good, too! |
| Oct 5 01:50:22 | 2h 05m | Buggy Bot | ♥ 2 | Great little 3D platformer! Smooth gameplay all the way to the end, although figuring out how to complete the last level was a little tough. The momentum mechanics feel great and I could see speedrunners finding all sorts of ways to speed through. |
| Oct 5 02:16:50 | 26m 28s | Mystic Push | ♥ 2 | I'm not a very big fan of these sorts of games, but I stuck with it far longer than most thanks to the incredible sound and art. And, despite not being a fan of the 'push stuff' genre, I thought the puzzles were well designed, even if I had to skip them Tunnel onward because I just couldn't crack them. Amazing work!! |
| Oct 5 02:28:50 | 12m 00s | Landslide | ♥ 2 | LandslideHighscore.JPG Cool game, and a cool way to make an 'unstable' platformer! I think it's weighted a little too far towards luck in terms of getting good pillar placement, and it's very hard to dodge any incoming rocks- but still a fun little game! |
| Oct 5 02:50:23 | 21m 33s | Dogs++ | ♥ 0 | Beautiful little game!! It's short and sweet, and the levels flow wonderfully. Excellent art and music, too. While I think this game is a perfect length, I wouldn't mind meeting these dogs again in the future if they end up needing more bones... the game mechanics could definitely be explored even further! |
| Oct 6 03:24:37 | 24h 34m | Falling Tower | ♥ 1 | You had me at 'wizard construction team'! I first played this a few days ago and really enjoyed it. I really like being able to 'sandwich' things between the red squares, and pulling off last-second 'snags' of far-off squares. The art and music is nice, too! In terms of notes for improvement, I think the pace is a little too fast for proper strategic play, and it seems like the variance in where blocks appear introduces a lot of randomness which impacts how sturdy you can make the tower. All that aside, a very nice entry. |
| Oct 6 03:56:09 | 31m 32s | YuraYura! - Tidying up the tilting tower! | ♥ 2 | This is a really great entry! The gameplay set up is awesome, as is the art, the music, the feel- basically everything! Although, I think the balance (pun intended, hehe) holds the game back a little bit. I wish that more things could pile up during gameplay instead of just one or two hazards ending the game almost immediately; it feels a bit sudden. But, that's mostly a nitpick coming from how much I love the 'tilting base' setup and wanting to have more room to enjoy it. Oh, and while playing I was wishing for a double-jump and some sort of combo attack... Anyway, would love to revisit this someday if you ever do a post-compo. Great work! |
| Oct 17 20:29:42 | 280h 33m | Experiment #56 | ♥ 0 | Lots of great feedback here already! I'll just say I loved the feel of the grapple, just wish I could have used it in more places, even if not really 'needed' by gameplay. Although, knowing where grapple is possible does help 'signpost' where it's needed to progress. Anyway, great gamefeel, some nice polish- and like others have noted, a little audio would have done a lot. Overall, awesome entry! |
| Oct 20 01:03:47 | 52h 34m | BUMBLING BUILDERS | ♥ 1 | Excellent entry all around! Great art, sound, music, design... Very little to nitpick! That being said, the difficulty of some of the challenges seemed to be a bit uneven- although that could just be me! Some puzzles will probably vary in challenge from person to person. :) Despite being physics based, the way things flowed feeled pretty sensible, although it would have been nice to know where certain 'enemies' would have appeared ahead of time instead of having to do a 'trial run' to see what and where things would appear. All that being said, fantastic entry! (PS: I managed to three-star all the levels! (3-2 was quite the challenge...) |
| Oct 20 23:00:00 | 21h 56m | Surgeon Rush | ♥ 1 | Great first effort! Even though this entry is small and could use a few things like music and more sound effects, there's some cool stuff here. I liked the decision to show the total combined 'health' of all the remaining ailments, and that there was a nice variety of 'enemies', including a big boss. Plus, the art is very nice, too! Some improvements could be allowing the user to hold down the mouse button instead of having to click rapidly, adding a way to lose the game to create more strategic decisions in the gameplay, and maybe a little extra polish here and there. But, overall, very nice job! |
| Oct 20 23:50:41 | 50m 41s | Candle Coffee Courier | ♥ 1 | The controls and player mechanics are positively funky- very strange, but in my opinion, quite good once one understands Chadwick's capabilities. I actually grew to love the sticky wallslide/jump, and was able to get through pretty speedily once I got a grip on it. Although, I understand where others would have trouble- some of the sections require very tight timing. The twist at the halfway mark was awesome and totally unexpected! Oh, and the art and mood were excellent too. Great entry!! |
| Oct 21 19:59:11 | 20h 08m | Unicycle Scientist: Saves the World | ♥ 2 | One of the biggest surprises of this LudumDare for me! Amazing art, polish, and mood! The gameplay (ESPECIALLY when not on Easy Mode) is pretty tough, but feels great after getting used to. Great job! |
