Apr 5 00:38:56 Significant Other(s) ♥ 1 Cool concept! Interesting how quickly the feeling comes on of being overwhelmed by the number of people and their needs.
Apr 5 01:03:03 24m 07s Mr. Twigs ♥ 4 Really solid! Made me feel instantly sad and wanted to see the ending. Reminded me of Life is Strange. Did you do the sound too?
Apr 5 01:11:54 8m 51s Cards of the Cosmos ♥ 2 Cool sound and mood! Could see myself playing a game like this for a while. I haven't played a roguelike deckbuilding game before, so this was a first for me!
Apr 5 01:17:41 5m 47s Sundown ♥ 1 Love the vibe and art. Reminds me a bit of soldat. Parallax background is really cool!
Apr 5 01:36:54 19m 13s The Root of All Evil ♥ 1 Love the lo-fi music! Could see myself playing this a lot more with a bit of tweaking to the controls.
Apr 5 01:43:53 6m 59s He's a Catch! ♥ 1 Really love the art and music in this one! Very polished. Funny concept.
Apr 5 01:51:40 7m 47s Solar Flare! ♥ 0 Blasted my ears with the music haha. But cool concept, and I like how unforgiving it is!
Apr 5 01:54:43 3m 03s Imposter Syndrome Surgeon ♥ 1 Hilarious! Love the art and music.
Apr 5 01:57:42 2m 59s Sands of Time ♥ 1 Agreed with others. Cool concept, would be neat to see it polished more!
Apr 5 02:16:19 18m 37s Dino Defense ♥ 1 Cool game! Wish it progressed a little faster so I could try out more stuff.
Apr 5 02:23:48 7m 29s Almost Immortal ♥ 2 Probably the best game I've played on here so far! Really simple concept makes it quick to pick up and figure out. Kudos on not overloading it with too much complexity. Graphics and art are fantastic. Unique concept as well.
Apr 5 02:36:09 12m 21s The Arcane Artist ♥ 3 Really innovative mechanic! I could see an entire AAA game being based off of something like this.
Apr 5 02:43:04 6m 55s Overworked & Underpaid ♥ 3 Cool art!
Apr 5 02:50:07 7m 03s Dino Fate ♥ 3 Cool stuff! Intuitive and good pacing. Love the humorous voiceovers.
Apr 5 03:06:15 16m 08s Beseech ♥ 0 A bit inscrutable, but once I figured it out I really liked the ambition and concept. Great artwork as well.
Apr 5 21:31:40 18h 25m Running Late ♥ 1 Wow, really great concept and art and mood! Could see this being a full-fledged game.
Apr 5 21:31:45 5s M.A.D - Maintain A Dictatorship ♥ 3 Really like the concept!
Apr 5 21:31:48 3s Tick ♥ 3 Love the art, music, and concept. Really polished all around. Would be cool to have some other alternate things to buy and difficulty to potentially scale (though I know that's hard to do in a couple of days). I could see myself playing for a long time if that were the case!
Apr 5 22:51:54 1h 20m Day-leave-ry ♥ 2 Really fantastic art and sound! Agreed that ability to run fullscreen would be even more immersive. Thanks for making this.
Apr 6 01:31:48 2h 39m RUN COFFEE RUN ♥ 1 Love the art and sound. Really solid game and concept!
Apr 6 03:21:35 1h 49m Jailbound Joyride ♥ 2 Great controls, great graphics, great music, great fun!
Apr 6 03:26:50 5m 15s Extreme Plant Sitter ♥ 2 Great graphics and concept! Who knew taking care of plants could be so stressful, haha? :)
Apr 6 03:49:06 22m 16s Delivery Danmaku ♥ 1 Love the nice relaxing music and overall aesthetic. Would be nice if the difficulty ramped up a bit more slowly.
Apr 6 03:53:13 4m 07s You Will Fall ♥ 2 Cool challenging game!
Apr 6 03:55:40 2m 27s We All Die ♥ 2 Cool graphics and concept! I like a couple of decisions you made: that the asteroids can hit the lasers too, and that not *all* the asteroids are going to run into something, so you have to decide which ones to prioritize.
Apr 6 04:00:58 5m 18s lose95 ♥ 2 Great concept, art, audio, and execution. Love the retro vibes!
Apr 6 04:04:29 3m 31s Steady Birds ♥ 1 Great concept and graphics!
Apr 6 04:08:17 3m 48s Fworm ♥ 0 Cool idea. Love the simple graphics. Would be cool to see a version with power ups or something.
Apr 6 04:12:04 3m 47s Hot Blocks ♥ 1 Very cool style!
Apr 6 04:15:48 3m 44s FINAL BONES ♥ 2 Some of the best artwork I've seen on here, bar none! Always love a good pun (check out ours if you want another pun-based name :P).
Apr 6 04:17:45 1m 57s Don't Freeze ♥ 1 Really love the pixel art and lighting effects!
Apr 6 04:25:40 7m 55s Balloon Rush 2 ♥ 2 Almost got into the top 10! A lot of games try to add in too much complexity. I really like how simple you've kept this one. Getting a minute+ in felt really tense and fun! Love the art style too. Great job!
Apr 6 04:29:50 4m 10s DIZT ♥ 1 Really cool aesthetic! Very smooth gameplay. Great job!
Apr 6 21:36:35 17h 06m Sorting Algorithm ♥ 1 Love the art and vibe and sound. Creepy indeed! Well done.
Apr 6 21:37:32 57s Crab Battle ♥ 1 Really like the shader / post process effect you have on top of everything. Would be cool to see this with the models and controls a bit more refined.
Apr 6 22:04:10 26m 38s Termination Notice ♥ 3 lol, really funny concept and execution. Love the line about you staying up all night arguing with a reddit user.
Apr 6 22:04:27 17s They Are Coming ♥ 3 Solid shooter, nice and fluid. Would be cool to see more powerups as the game progressed!
Apr 6 22:04:48 21s Did I Just Poop Myself by the Produce Section ♥ 2 Without a doubt the funniest game I've played on here yet. Final boss is amazing. Art style is quite unique. Good job all around. It took me a while to realize I could move when the minigame was happening!
Apr 6 22:05:10 22s Crisis Bot ♥ 0 Nice art style! Haven't seen a game that looks quite like this before.
Apr 6 22:05:20 10s The Last Stand ♥ 0 Tough to get the hang of the controls, but I really really love the artwork, special effects, and overall concept!
Apr 6 22:05:30 10s Twisting Tower ♥ 1 Quite an innovative concept! I wish there were a way to speed things up actually -- and of course, more things to put down, but I know you said it's just a proof of concept. Love the art and music. Great job!
Apr 6 22:05:43 13s The Arc ♥ 1 Really love the vibe and the background music. The minimap added a lot to the feel. Very good choice! Making the asteroids also green would have been a good choice, but no minimap would have lost something very important to me.
Apr 6 22:05:54 11s God's Rage ♥ 2 Cool art and concept for the theme! Unfortunately I had a hard time with it. When I put down the vase, for example, it just fell through the concrete and stuck to the ceiling.
Apr 6 22:06:08 14s The Ancient Time Tree ♥ 2 Cool idea -- really fits with the theme! Like some others said, tightening hitboxes / making them more clear and polishing the feel of the controls could make this even better :-)
Apr 6 22:06:23 15s Delaying Ludum Dare ♥ 1 Really funny. Wish I had been able to make it further so I could hear how things turned out!
Apr 6 22:06:48 25s Fire Punch ♥ 2 Really really nice art style and animation. A bit brutally difficult though! Would be nice for there to be a bit more of a ramp up. Regardless, good job :-)
Apr 6 22:07:04 16s Slime Showdown ♥ 3 Cool concept. Enjoyed the upgrade system. Wish I got to do more of them before I died!
Apr 6 22:07:21 17s The Final Day ♥ 1 Really like the art style. It was fun and I had a hard time stopping! Might be nice to have a bit more variation in terms of the upgrades and items you can buy, but still, great job!
Apr 6 22:15:40 8m 19s Ghost In The Washing Machine ♥ 1 Funny concept! I like the keyboard key method of interacting with the game. I had a similar idea at the start of this LD that we ended up not going with. May I suggest splurging for washing machine upgrades? These units shouldn't be breaking this often. And the wear and tear from them sitting outside can't be helping either. Also: rank B :-)
Apr 6 22:18:34 2m 54s Bark Park! ♥ 1 Haha, really funny concept. The art and animation are really good! Congrats.
Apr 6 22:21:02 2m 28s Stop The Watch ♥ 1 Good job! Good pixel art. Good idea to have the clicking *also* re-start the game -- makes a good counter balance. Now we need to figure out why this robot is so obsessed with our button.
Apr 6 22:23:06 2m 04s We Have to Talk ♥ 4 Fantastic art style!
Apr 6 23:45:21 1h 22m The Last Church ♥ 2 Really neat! Great art style. I couldn't quite tell whether my upgrades were working or not though, but I enjoyed it nontheless.
Apr 6 23:51:32 6m 11s Battery Low ♥ 6 Fantastic art style, concept, and sound.
Apr 6 23:59:56 8m 24s The Endless Night ♥ 1 Fantastic art!
Apr 7 00:05:04 5m 08s Cup Half Full ♥ 1 Such an innovative concept and great execution. Good job!
Apr 7 00:09:12 4m 08s Hyper Kremlin Bros. II Tournament Edition ♥ 2 Great concept and great execution on some pretty dark stuff. Helps to remember what's at stake. Thanks for making this!
Apr 7 00:12:04 2m 52s Mages and Essay Pages ♥ 1 Really great art and especially good considering it's your first game! Good job :-)
Apr 7 00:15:22 3m 18s Not Today! ♥ 1 Really good twist on Frogger! Even better knowing you did it in half the time. Great idea.
Apr 7 00:22:59 7m 37s Summer Vacation ♥ 1 Really solid! Love the art and vibe.
Apr 7 00:30:21 7m 22s Arrow's Theorem ♥ 1 Nice educational video. Innovative idea to try to turn something like this into a game.
Apr 7 00:32:30 2m 09s Jumpalot ♥ 1 Love the artwork. Really fun bouncing off of stuff!
Apr 7 00:37:02 4m 32s HoldShit ♥ 0 Lol. Hilariously bizarre concept, surprisingly high quality textures. Kind of confusing to figure out what to do though!
Apr 7 00:44:44 7m 42s ONCOMING ♥ 2 Really like how smooth the controls are. Seems like far too many games focus on such a crucial aspect. Really enjoyed this and would love to see the powerup system expanded upon. I found it a bit hard to even know how to get them at first. Good game though!
Apr 7 00:50:12 5m 28s Stopping Karen ♥ 2 Cool concept, nice graphics, nice sound!
Apr 7 00:52:33 2m 21s Over Time ♥ 0 I like the graphics vibe, but like others say I found it a bit confusing! I like coffee.
Apr 7 00:56:40 4m 07s Geometry Survivors ♥ 1 Cool concept! I like how many powerups you have. If you're gonna have a powerup system, might as well have a bunch to choose from, right? Thanks for making this!
Apr 7 00:59:03 2m 23s Road Weaver! ♥ 1 Cool idea! Couldn't quite figure out what the yellow boxes were for, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The building animations were super cool too.
Apr 7 03:21:15 2h 22m Escape The Pipes ♥ 2 Cool art and audio!
Apr 7 03:24:47 3m 32s Farewell ♥ 1 Wow, really really polished graphics! Amazing that you did that in just a few days. Congrats!
Apr 7 03:27:30 2m 43s The Hill I Die On ♥ 1 Love the art and animation on the attack and the swipe!
Apr 7 03:29:56 2m 26s Overwhelmed ♥ 1 Cool art style!
Apr 7 21:19:29 17h 49m Gone ♥ 1 Ah man, I was very interested in this one and played a while but I got stuck! Really wanted to see how it progressed. Interesting idea.
Apr 7 21:19:52 23s THEMARUNGA ♥ 1 Innovative concept moving the platform and the baby at the same time! I must confess I was pretty confused as to how the gameplay worked though.
Apr 7 21:20:06 14s Bacterial Protection ♥ 1 Really funny intro, 5/5 on humor! Quite an interesting concept.
Apr 7 21:20:22 16s Wipeout ♥ 3 Wow! This is a BLAST. Seriously, you've prioritized all the right things here, namely: the controls! I love how the pressure ramps up, and it feels genuinely challenging in all the right ways. Great job, you should be proud of this. It's also a unique concept, and it fits the theme great. My high score so far: 48,755. I've gotta keep playing though...
Apr 7 21:24:54 4m 32s Terminal thanks ♥ 1 Wow! The audio really and graphics create an amazing atmosphere in this game. Really love the interactive 3d effects done in ASCII.
Apr 7 21:25:10 16s Forest Guardian ♥ 0 Got some really cool potential for art there! Would love to see it developed more.
Apr 7 21:25:38 28s Glide ♥ 1 Quite an interesting concept, playing against other replays. Would love to see that idea developed more!
Apr 7 21:25:58 20s Wickfall ♥ 1 Outstanding art and lighting!
Apr 7 21:26:17 19s TOWERVATCH ♥ 2 Nice graphics and style! Funny play on the genre.
Apr 7 21:52:37 26m 20s Heat ♥ 1 Nice minimalistic graphics. Great straightforward tutorial. Really well done!
Apr 7 21:52:47 10s Witch's End ♥ 1 Great game! Really like the number of powerups. Cool idea and fits well with the theme.
Apr 7 21:52:58 11s I don't know how to code ♥ 1 Week 11! Funny idea. I think I've worked with some of these people...
Apr 7 21:54:31 1m 33s The Runs ♥ 4 Oh man, what a journey. I saw this a few days ago and thought the concept was hilarious. I've been avoiding downloading LD games and only playing web-based ones though for safety reasons. I saw your game today on the "danger" list and realized you hadn't received 20 votes yet! I decided to download an ubuntu VM just so I could play this. I downloaded the iso, set up the VM, tried playing and -- no sound! I googled around, tried tweaking sound device after sound device, played test sounds, nothing. I tried testing playing a video in a web browser in the VM just to see if it was just the game. It locked the VM up, so I had to restart and try again. I was deep in the bowels of virtualbox forums. After spending a while debugging, I gave up and deleted the VM. I thought to myself... maybe I should just take the risk and try the windows version on my computer directly. I downloaded the file, went to execute, and windows warned me it hadn't seen this file before! It might be dangerous! Of course, I knew this when I downloaded, but it was enough to make me have second thoughts. I decided to give up and not play. After that, I went to youtube to listen to some music. Nothing played. Dammit. *my volume was off the whole time*. WHY DID I DELETE THE VM INSTEAD OF JUST LEAVING IT ON MY HARD DRIVE. I HAVE 4TB OF SPACE. DID I REALLY NEED TO RECLAIM THAT? Sigh. I start up the installation for a second time. But wait... actually, what if I just do the "try" version of ubuntu, the one I don't have to install? That should be faster! I launch it up, go to configure the display size and... instant crash. I restart and start the installation again. I try playing a test file in the terminal and nothing. I restart the VM and change my device settings. I try playing the test file again -- still nothing! WTF. Then I think: what if it's just that that terminal command doesn't work? I go to the page to download The Runs, and as I'm waiting, I see a video in the sidebar. That'll be a good way to test the audio, I think to myself, stupidly. (It crashes the VM). I restart, try running The Runs, and it finally works, sound and all. Anyway, I love the game. Interesting mechanics with the running and zoom out system. Unlike the other comments, I think the map's size is kind of the whole point! I don't think it would be nearly as interesting without it. It took me three -- ahem -- runs to beat the game. I love the "unconventional" powerups. It was all worth it. Great art style. Reminds me of Pokemon if the theme were tweaked slightly. Lots of funny little things throughout the school.
Apr 7 22:53:05 58m 34s The Assessment ♥ 2 Really polished game! You really nailed the warioware aesthetic and vibe.
Apr 7 22:56:35 3m 30s Cat in the Bag ♥ 3 Really polished art and interesting game idea! I wish there was a way to make the text go faster and/or see the prompt while it was asking me what I would choose. I accidentally skipped past the prompt and was clueless as to what to pick.
Apr 7 23:19:54 23m 19s Cold and Alone ♥ 1 Great graphics and concept! Only wish there was more to play!
Apr 8 00:03:48 43m 54s Fart Competitions ♥ 1 Excellent art style. I am terrible at the game, but funny stuff!
Apr 8 00:04:17 29s Vanguard Rush ♥ 1 Fantastic graphics! Really impressive.
Apr 8 00:08:00 3m 43s Paddle Panic 🚣‍♂️😱 ♥ 4 Quite nice and polished! Wish I could have stayed up a bit longer. Good starting tutorial too.
Apr 8 00:11:14 3m 14s Persist Ant ♥ 2 Cool game. I like how brutally difficult it is. The music really adds to it. Would be nice to have the controls feel a *bit* more polished.
Apr 8 00:14:57 3m 43s Dont Wake Up! ♥ 2 Neat idea and cool dreamy environment. The audio works well with it too.
Apr 8 00:18:54 3m 57s Oort's Escape ♥ 1 Cool idea. Would love to see more things to buy. I had a problem where when I tried to build a satellite it removed my existing one, took my money, and didn't give me anything! It was after my first one so it kind of messed things up for me to say the least :-)
Apr 8 00:23:48 4m 54s Lavapocalypse ♥ 3 Seems like a very cool concept, but I had trouble figuring out how to do much. Tried sending out some gathering drones but it didn't seem like they could pick up anything I hovered / right clicked on.
Apr 8 00:26:30 2m 42s I was Reincarnated as a Middle Aged Dad Protecting his Son's Sand Castle ♥ 2 Hilarious title and interesting concept!
Apr 8 00:30:18 3m 48s UPDOG: The Ascension of 180 Sadie ♥ 2 Really cool concept! Polishing the controls and physics a bit would really take it to the next level.
Apr 8 00:35:09 4m 51s 4&1/2 Lives ♥ 0 Really solid base. Since you asked for feedback, I think you could get the biggest bang for your buck tightening the controls. Other than that, like you mentioned, making the procedural level generation more intelligent would be good. I got into a state, sometimes at the very beginning, where it seemed impossible to go further. Other than that, I like the variations and simplicity of the platforms. Oh, I just read a comment that the world wraps. That might have helped! Maybe a way to make that clear to the player would help.
Apr 8 00:44:44 9m 35s Dino Village ♥ 1 Pretty fun! Thanks for making the no-click version. Definitely saved my wrists :-)
Apr 8 00:46:31 1m 47s Decisive Battle ♥ 2 Love the atmosphere and music
Apr 8 00:55:14 8m 43s Sisyphus - The Game ♥ 2 Really polished graphics and innovative game idea. Funny dialogue. I managed to spam the heck out of the bouncing ones, which felt cheap but worked. It worked so well I actually launched the ball out of the level and now my clock is counting up indefinitely :-) Anyway great job with this! I don't think I've seen a game quite like this before.
Apr 8 00:58:41 3m 27s Where do you go after you win ♥ 0 Nice graphics and vibe! A bit of improvement on the controls / physics would go a long way.
Apr 8 01:01:06 2m 25s Last Landing ♥ 0 I like the art and music choice! My high score is 1980.
Apr 8 01:08:41 7m 35s Somnipathy ♥ 4 Cool art style and interesting take on the theme!
Apr 8 01:12:32 3m 51s 1 Man 6 Bullets ♥ 4 Wow. Great job yall. This game is super polished, love the art. Multiple layers of interesting concepts (both the ricocheting and the super-hot effect). Definitely one of the best games this LD!
Apr 8 21:30:54 20h 18m Beavers Inc. ♥ 1 I really like the concept art and sound! I ran into a couple of bugs that were semi-game breaking. I got into a state early on where I wasn't able to continue and I wasn't able to cancel an action, so I ended up building outside the map and somehow had -2 wood. At another point the tutorial text was popping up over an area I needed to build in, so I couldn't do it. Anyway, really solid game and would love to see it developed more!
Apr 8 21:31:01 7s Do It Later ♥ 2 Love the aesthetic and sound. Wasn't quite sure what to do after completing the tasks, but maybe that's the point?
Apr 8 21:31:07 6s Bastet's Quest ♥ 1 Funny idea mixing the egyptian stuff with the mischeivousness of cats. Would be cool to see this developed more!
Apr 8 21:31:15 8s Save Sin ♥ 2 Wow! Nice graphics and audio. Very interesting gameplay, fits with the theme well. High score: 172. Good job!
Apr 8 21:31:25 10s Terrasite ♥ 4 You've done a great job here. The way you drop the player in and everything is pretty much obvious is no small feat. The graphics are great, the concept is interesting. Really engaging. Even love the name pun (see our game too if you like name puns :P). Would love to see this concept expanded into more upgrades, planets, etc.
Apr 8 21:31:33 8s Picnic Calamity ♥ 1 Haha, this is extremely fun for such a simple concept! Good job here. My high score was 178.
Apr 8 21:31:50 17s Battery Low ♥ 1 Interesting concept! Like another person said, being able to hold down the button would be nice. Still, a cool base concept that I could see developing into something much larger.
Apr 8 21:31:57 7s The End of the Road ♥ 2 Solid, smooth gameplay! Glad to see a game based off of the 2009 movie The Road (adapted from the novel by Cormac McCarthy). Would be good to see the graphics polished a bit more and some more variation introduced as the game goes on (perhaps other weapons, moving down the street, etc). Either way, good job!
Apr 8 21:32:08 11s I Love My Sheep ♥ 1 Fantastic graphics / animations and music! Quite polished.
Apr 8 21:32:15 7s Fortold ♥ 1 Cool art style. Would like to see it developed more!
Apr 8 21:32:26 11s Don't Look Up ♥ 1 Good game! The upgrades ended up being more balanced that I thought they would be (thought I could skimp out a bit on pushback and reload speed, but you made the comet come in more frequently and not be pushed back as much). Would totally play this some more with even more upgrades.
Apr 8 21:32:33 7s Defendor ♥ 1 Interesting concept! Would love to see more variety of cards.
Apr 8 21:32:44 11s Space Onslaught ♥ 1 Wow! My high score was 570. It was hard to stop playing. Feels like this has a ton of potential. The controls feel a little clunky. But I love using the pause button to explain what's on screen. That let me learn a lot of information really quickly, and I was able to put things in context. Other games I've seen try to explain things in text on a separate screen, and it really helps to have the text right next to the items on the HUD. Good job with this!
Apr 8 21:32:52 8s Revenge is Inevitable ♥ 1 Quite an innovative move mechanic. Love the art style and music. Something about the cursor doesn't seem to move quite right though, which made the controls feel a bit hard to get used to. But still, great idea and execution!
Apr 9 14:33:14 17h 00m I'll buy us some time ♥ 1 Neat concept and fun (until the inevitable)! Some tweaks could make this really stand out. Good job!
Apr 9 14:34:00 46s Drowsy Drop ♥ 3 This art is soooo polished! Amazing work.
Apr 9 14:37:15 3m 15s Long Live the King ♥ 2 Interesting concept and nice little chess piece artwork. Would be cool to see some more involved levels.
Apr 9 14:42:50 5m 35s RISR ♥ 1 Interesting concept and a surprising number of creative variations on the idea! It's funny how difficult it is to hit our keys when they aren't labeled.
Apr 9 14:51:34 8m 44s Borrowed Time ♥ 0 Cool idea! I like the amount of detail you put into him tossing and turning while sleeping, haha. I got a bit confused by it seeming like eating and turning on the heat did nothing.
Apr 9 14:54:18 2m 44s Too Real ♥ 0 Cool, novel idea to mix the health bar and the need to keep popping the pills. Tightening the controls and physics would improve it a lot, I think.
Apr 9 15:05:35 11m 17s 100 Seconds to Midnight ♥ 3 Quite a cool concept and mechanics. The background music is very good. One thing really working for you is how quick the games are. I ended up playing many times just to see if I could do any better! I think my best was 1 year 8 months.
Apr 9 15:10:49 5m 14s Sack Attack ♥ 1 Funny and unique concept! I had trouble with the controls though. If those were tightened up I feel like you could have a really addictive game on your hands.
Apr 9 15:17:29 6m 40s just drive. ♥ 0 Cool aesthetic and atmosphere. It's a short jam and I know you mentioned it, but having more interactivity would have made this even better.
Apr 9 15:20:40 3m 11s RM: Rescue Man ♥ 1 Haha, funny game and interesting concept. Good job.
Apr 9 15:23:15 2m 35s March of the Mega-Machines ♥ 1 Nice graphics, and tower defense fits well within the theme.
Apr 9 15:30:48 7m 33s Spin Impact ♥ 2 Within the first few seconds of playing, as soon as I realized what was happening, I said to myself DUDDDEEEEEE! What an innovative mechanic. You seriously made this in 48 hours? You should be super proud. Without a doubt one of the best I've played all jam, and I've seriously played a ton. I'm happy I could be one of the votes that pushes you to 20! One tweak that's really minor: the camera movement made me a bit nauseous at times. But honestly it's not a big deal. Other things I'm sure you've considered if you were to make this a more developed game are increasing the types of powerups or enemies. But I know that's hard in 48 hours. Seriously great job here. I like that you can see the way the enemies move up the sides of the box toward you. I love the graphics. I love the particles. I love the camera shakes and satisfying audio when you hit things. I don't want to just go on endlessly, but this is really great work here.
Apr 9 15:43:22 12m 34s THE EXIT WILL CLOSE ♥ 0 I really like the maze. That made me go whoa!
Apr 9 15:45:11 1m 49s Bodge Job ♥ 0 Interesting concept, nice aesthetic.
Apr 9 20:26:51 4h 41m Invasion of the Inevitable Space Rocks from Outerspace ♥ 3 Cool game! Fits well with the theme. Tightening up the controls would probably go a long way in making it even better!
Apr 9 20:34:42 7m 51s Softness ♥ 1 Great art and sound and atmosphere! Agree that having some more choice / interactivity would be great.
Apr 9 20:40:25 5m 43s Siphon ♥ 1 I really like the old school graphics! Getting a bit more feedback about what is happening (enemy health bars, whether the ground pound is working) would go a long way in making this even more fun.
Apr 9 20:48:26 8m 01s Need for Sleep ♥ 1 A polished and unique game! It weirdly felt *really* good when I pressed spacebar after the screen had been blurry for a long time. Good job!
Apr 9 20:53:04 4m 38s ShadowScape ♥ 2 Cool art and idea! Fleshing this out with even more stuff to do would make it even better.
Apr 9 20:56:14 3m 10s Baggy & Maggy ♥ 2 Wow! Fantastic art, sound, animations. The controls are smooth and intuitive. Great intro tutorial. My only problem is I can't quite figure out how to swing! I keep getting disconnected, so I wasn't able to get very far. This is such a super polished game though, you should be proud.
Apr 9 21:00:13 3m 59s No Hope For Bope ♥ 1 Cool game idea. A bit tough though!
Apr 9 21:06:34 6m 21s Escape from Nowhere ♥ 1 As soon as this loaded it immediately gave me nostalgic flashbacks to Spy Hunter on the NES. My high score was 120. I like how brutally unforgiving running into the wall is. I like the tradeoff between speed and dangerousness versus distance. It's a simple concept, but you've done a good job with it. It seems like something lets you extend your time, perhaps distance. It might be nice to give the player a stronger sense of where that line is so they can better balance the speed versus carefulness tradeoff. Oh, and are the levels completely procedural? Good job. Great game all around!
Apr 9 21:11:02 4m 28s The Oscar Slapdown ♥ 0 LOL. Funny idea.
Apr 9 21:15:19 4m 17s Time Dash ♥ 1 Nice little functional game. Could be leveled up if you had more time to add other powerups and/or enemies and things. But either way, good job!
Apr 9 21:28:00 12m 41s Doomer Pinball ♥ 2 Interesting idea, having enemies marching toward you that you need to hit! Unique take on pinball. I like your cover art aesthetic. Wish that were more integrated into the game!
Apr 9 21:33:08 5m 08s Crystalysis ♥ 1 The graphics and particle effects are beautiful! I like how "chunky" hitting things feels. I like spamming dash and just flying around all over the place :-) Would be cool for the game to have a bit more variation and depth. Feels like you've got a really good starting point for a great game here.
Apr 9 21:37:43 4m 35s Volcano Lullaby ♥ 1 I really like the art style. Reminded me of old SNES and game gear games I played as a kid. The controls / physics don't feel quite right, but I think it actually still works fine because I'm able to control them well enough to do what I want to do. Could definitely see this developing into a more full fledged game if you put more time into it!
Apr 9 22:19:29 41m 46s Delaying Death ♥ 0 Really like the pixel art and lighting. The controls are nice and smooth.
Apr 9 22:22:23 2m 54s Exclusion Zone ♥ 1 Cool vibe and aesthetic. I'm pretty confused because I thought the walls would block the radiation.
Apr 9 22:31:28 9m 05s Serious Royal Business ♥ 1 Haha, interesting idea. I really wanted to kill that first guy after he didn't appreciate me welcoming him warmly. What a rude dude.
Apr 9 22:33:50 2m 22s StopShot ♥ 1 Great idea. A bit tough! Tweaking the hit boxes and sizes of the levels could go a long way in making this super fun.
Apr 10 04:01:49 5h 27m Pain survival ♥ 1 Simple but fun! Good starting point for a game with a bit better tweaking of the items and more powerups.
Apr 10 04:05:11 3m 22s Shades of Deception ♥ 5 Insanely polished! Good job yall!
Apr 10 04:06:59 1m 48s Lazer Bean ♥ 1 Really great artwork! A bit chaotic and difficult to understand in the beginning though.
Apr 10 04:09:04 2m 05s stop some of the bullets ♥ 0 I like this! Fits well with the theme. A bit more variety in the powerups might be nice.
Apr 10 04:12:10 3m 06s The Itsy Bitsy Jumper ♥ 1 Wow, I don't think I've played a game quite like this before! Really interesting. I like the idea about timing the jumping to the beat of the song, but I couldn't quite tell how it affected the gameplay. Cool game and execution.
Apr 10 04:14:51 2m 41s Last Look Up ♥ 1 Cool game! I think something might be messed up with the webgl version though. I can only see the bottom half of the screen, so I only have a really brief time to shoot the incoming projectiles before they hit the building. This is on Chrome. Either way, the way the building breaks off and lands on people is quite cool.
Apr 10 04:17:09 2m 18s Binner Lady ♥ 1 lol funny game. Might be a bit better to improve the handling of the vehicle. The tilt controls are super aggressive (which is funny and fun) but the normal steering just feels quite sluggish.
Apr 10 14:09:06 9h 51m Apocalyptic Romance ♥ 1 Haha, what a clever idea for a game! I found it a bit overwhelming in the beginning, even after reading the description. Perhaps some work on making the iconography and UI more clear would help?
Apr 10 14:13:34 4m 28s Ultimate Tennis Championship 2K22 ♥ 1 Hey, great little game! I read your description. Good job on keeping the scope narrowed. I know that's something a lot of people struggle with, and being able to focus and get past that hurdle is a good achievement. Congrats!
Apr 10 14:16:25 2m 51s Loose screw ♥ 1 Nice art and cool idea! I think I mostly understood what to do, but found the four directional arrow one to be confusing. Or maybe it was just the hitboxes / controls not working quite as well as I'd hoped. Tweaking that could really step this game up a level! Good job.
Apr 10 14:19:56 3m 31s Guardian of the Sand ♥ 0 Good idea and nice graphics! One thing: I couldn't quite tell whether the sand breaks did anything. It seems like the water just goes straight through them? Is it weakening the waves or anything? A visual indicator might be nice if so.
Apr 10 14:22:27 2m 31s Playground Panic ♥ 1 LOL those voices. Funny concept. The difficulty ramps up quite quickly!
Apr 10 14:26:01 3m 34s Tree Protector ♥ 1 I like the graphics in general but those two in the upper left corner are mesmerizing to me for some reason. Did you hand draw those or are they 3D models with outlines applied? One piece of feedback I'd give is something I think others have said: the aim feels a bit off. I also had a bit of trouble with the hitbox on the nuts. Making it a bit bigger would probably solve that problem pretty easily. Either way, good job!
Apr 10 14:30:49 4m 48s Ultimate Mushroom Damocles Revenger ♥ 4 Nice graphics and an innovative concept. I found it a bit easy to just stay near the edge at the end and walk back and forth between the last two blades. But anyway, I could definitely see this concept being expanded into a full game. I took a screenshot of my win, but it didn't save. Sigh... windows.
Apr 10 14:33:37 2m 48s Don't Stop The Party ♥ 0 Interesting concept! Gets really difficult really quickly. I like the idea of discovering the dances, but I found it difficult to do anything pretty quickly even after I knew two dances (are there more?).
Apr 10 14:37:14 3m 37s Like Rabbits ♥ 0 High score 120! Cute little game. Funny name and clever idea. Great artwork and animations, nice music (though I had a weird scratchy audio glitch that sounded like something was messing up; that might be why someone complained of the sound at the end scaring them). Really polished all around.
Apr 10 14:42:34 5m 20s Delay the Flood ♥ 1 Interesting concept. I think something about the 5-soil limit could be improved, but I don't have any great ideas. It just doesn't *feel* all that great, if that makes sense? I guess removing the limit entirely might be too easy? The only other thing is perhaps a way to speed up time once you think you have the puzzle solved would be good (I'm thinking about the second level here). Good job with the tutorial on the second level, that hint was nice and is good to do in the introduction stage of the game.
Apr 10 14:45:32 2m 58s Hamstronaughts ♥ 0 Really great music! I can't *quite* figure out what the mechanics are though. It seems like I'm trying to stop the lizards from hitting the spawn orb, but also I can't touch them, but also they're trying to press the buttons? Making this a bit more clear might be a good way to get the game to the next level :)
Apr 10 14:47:29 1m 57s Avoidance Advanced ♥ 1 A cool, simple, well-executed mechanic. Good job!
Apr 10 14:55:47 8m 18s The Last Nightmare ♥ 2 It took me a while to realize I should just keep walking when the screen goes black. But once I did and was able to read 9 of the notes, I was really hooked and wanted to see the ending. But I can't figure it out! Nice graphics and mood. Wish I could figure out how to get to the end!
Apr 10 14:59:07 3m 20s Bathroom in the Backrooms ♥ 1 "lol you peed yourself" made me crack up. I really like the art style. It reminds me of old school windows screensavers. Someone needs to arrest the architect who made this place though.
Apr 10 15:06:03 6m 56s Ripple ♥ 1 Cool graphics and idea!
Apr 10 15:11:06 5m 03s Sundae Driver ♥ 1 Fun game! I like the surreal art style. The atmosphere reminds me of an apocalyptic wasteland where for some reason everyone still cares about ice cream. The physics of the car are nice too, which is important.
Apr 10 15:13:08 2m 02s Night Castle Battle ♥ 1 I like the art style, but it doesn't really seem like my attacks do anything and it doesn't seem like the enemies can hurt me?
Apr 10 15:15:36 2m 28s Demain Sera Bien ♥ 1 LOL. The physics in this game are hilarious. The concept is interesting, and I like the cell-shaded art style.
Apr 10 15:20:53 5m 17s The Last Tower ♥ 1 Cool idea, nice art style. Audio would definitely add a lot of polish to this nice little game!
Apr 10 15:24:22 3m 29s A Nerd's Delay ♥ 1 Haha, funny take on the theme. I have no clue how people got 2k+ scores! At a certain point I felt like I was only getting obstacles and no way to increase the score. Still, I had fun with this game. Good job!
Apr 10 15:26:18 1m 56s Nature's Delay ♥ 1 LOL, great idea. I really like the art style! That rotating targeting reticle is awesome. I wish it were a little more clear to me why I would choose one disaster over another, and why I should do anything but spam them as much as possible. Maybe I'm just missing something though.
Apr 10 15:36:14 9m 56s The Eyes Upon The Earth ♥ 1 You've really nailed a lot of the most important elements here, one of which is the controls. The controls are smooth and fluid, and the physics are nice. The art is great. I wish the weapon upgrades stacked or something. I think this could be the start of a game with a lot of potential if the upgrade system was tweaked a bit. I also feel like I'd like to see a bit more of the map, but it's tough to know if that would mess things up gameplay wise. Either way, great job with this. Definitely one of the most polished ones I've played so far.
Apr 10 15:38:13 1m 59s Island's End ♥ 0 Cool graphics! Quite tough. Perhaps a minimap would be nice to see where the drills are. The monsters themselves are pretty difficult. I wonder if letting the player attack more often would still be balanced?
Apr 10 15:40:21 2m 08s PRO TAX SLACKER ♥ 2 3 hours to kill a fly. Sounds about right XD
Apr 10 15:44:57 4m 36s Vampire Run ♥ 1 That backing track is a banger! This is such a simple idea with a few mechanics and it works really well. Took me a sec to get a feel for it, but it was worth it. One tiny tweak that I think could make this *really* good: if the player is playing perfectly, the sun should get no closer. Then every mistake is essentially an attrition that "delays the inevitable" and is perhaps not recoverable. Or perhaps is recoverable when you get the blood droplets, and then you could just build up the difficulty over time? Either way, this is a solid foundation for something more interesting if you were to continue to work on it! Good job.
Apr 10 16:04:54 19m 57s Holding On ♥ 1 Man, I really wanted to play this but the game hung on the godot screen and then crashed the system. I tried again but it happened again. I'm trying on ubuntu, for what it's worth. I like the art style for the cover art. Reminds me of lo-fi girl and made me think we have similar taste in music. If my intuition was right and we have similar music tastes, you might like the music I made for my game (there's two, one for the title screen and one for the main game once you click through and start playing). Edit: would you consider uploading a playthrough on youtube? I'd love to watch.
Apr 10 16:09:03 4m 09s Summer D[el]ays ♥ 2 I like the music. Nice vibe. A bit tough to know what to do on some of the stages. And yeah there seems to be a glitch that can put you on the street and unable to do anything. I really like the theme though. Would love to see this relaxing game developed more.
Apr 10 16:16:53 7m 50s Ravenous ♥ 1 LOL this game is hilarious on multiple levels. Grandpa is one sick bastard. Would love to see more variations on the upgrades and themes. With a lot of polish I could see this sort of game going viral.
Apr 10 16:22:07 5m 14s Torture and Ascension ♥ 0 Only 10 hours? This is fantastic. Simple concept that's well executed. Feels like this game would go really well with music timed to the beat. And perhaps making it even longer with more difficulty, and a checkpoint-style system that let you continue close to where you left off when you die. Great stuff!
Apr 10 16:32:27 10m 20s Before Impact: Meteor Fantasy ♥ 3 Super polished and impressive graphics. I like the upgrade system, and the free movement with the boat is refreshing (though I didn't know I could do it at first). Something about the weapon system feels a bit off. I like the idea of not having to have the player click a bunch, but it feels a bit too hard to control. Maybe there's something there that could be tweaked to give the best of both worlds. Really neat idea and I think if you polished this a bit more it could be something amazing!
Apr 10 16:35:59 3m 32s Ousted ♥ 2 I love the background music and the fact that I can just hold space to repeatedly fire. The controls are close to being solid. I wonder if a strafe mechanic with the aiming the mouse toward where you want to fire would work better?
Apr 10 16:40:59 5m 00s SUPER 2 Late ♥ 1 This art style is fantastic!
Apr 22 03:55:13 275h 14m Inevitable Seige ♥ 1 You asked for criticism, and I'm in a similar boat as you, feeling down about our game's results. I'd love it if you could do the same! The tutorial is a bit complex and wordy. It'd be nice to have it integrated directly into the game. Think show not tell! The art could be better. I like the vignette. After reading the tutorial and clicking through, I can't remember what the mud pile thing does. Oh now that I type that, I think it slows things? Why does the game let me put it off the path? The money collection system is interesting, but perhaps tedious. More visual indicators of what something is about to do when I select an item would be nice. For instance: the radius of the slow tower. Or perhaps showing an explosion and a radius for the TNT. Is the cost of items balanced? I haven't tested extensively, but the TNT feels pricey for the radius it affects. The number system for choosing items is probably fine, but I do have to think a bit about which item is which given there's no label on the item. Since the coins involve using the mouse, I'd guess I could click these to choose them, but that doesn't work. These are probably minor points. The audio could probably be a bit more engaging and varied. Perhaps the biggest thing: what separates this from other TD games? What makes it more fun or engaging? It's not clear. That's that elusive element that's probably the hardest thing to get right. I hope some of this helps! From one person who just wants to get better to another, I feel ya. If you have the time and want to help me out by giving criticism to our game too, I'd appreciate it :-)
