| Apr 9 17:25:42 | Stone Sabbath | ♥ 2 | Absolutely loved the PSX-era graphics. Control, audio, menu system, and tutorial were nice. The animations were really good too! Combat felt a bit arbitrary at times. Excellent "soulsian" references. Overall, excellent work you guys! Also, I'm sure making a game with 11 people was feat in itself. Nicely done! | |
| Apr 9 19:06:37 | 1h 40m | You Are A Bomb | ♥ 1 | @benjamin-halko Great work on this! This level of simplicity is something I strive for but I seem to always over-develop my games. Super fun concept and well executed! Also, tell your Dad his music taste is sexy as hell. Lovely LD50 entry, Benjamin, keep it up! |
| Apr 9 19:46:57 | 40m 20s | Farm Dog | ♥ 3 | Fantastic submission, you guys! The voxel models were enjoyable, as was the sound and music. Great menu system and the leaderboard was a nice touch. What did you use for the leaderboard? Dreamlo, or something else? Upgrade system was fun, and something I wish I'd implemented in my own game. Some feedback on when an enemy gets hit might be nice, like a flash, camera shake, or healthbar reducing. But overall, a lovely entry that you guys should be proud of. Well done! |
| Apr 9 22:12:07 | 2h 25m | Battery Buisness | ♥ 0 | Nice little simple game. The main thing I liked about it was that it was super easy to understand how to play right away. No explanation needed, just open it up and get going. I'm starting to realize how valuable that is, especially in a game jam. |
| Apr 10 02:29:35 | 4h 17m | Heat Death | ♥ 1 | I love the globe, it was super fun to move around. Programming the different segments to receive components and having the conveyor belts connect was probably not an easy feat, so props on that. Game design wise, I had a little trouble figuring out what to do. Maybe I should've spent more time watching the tutorial. Nice entry! |
| Apr 10 02:45:18 | 15m 43s | Always Dying | ♥ 0 | @eggsscrambled Nice entry! Love the simplicity of the graphics, you did some nice things using only basic shapes. The 8-bit SFX were fun, and the concept was cool. Loved how there were different random level designs, too. Excellent tutorial as well. My main criticism is that the game is just too difficult. I think the enemies should just damage you, not kill you instantly. This would allow players to experience more of your content. Overall, super solid entry and you should be proud! |
| Apr 10 02:57:12 | 11m 54s | Crisis Chef: 28 Plates Later | ♥ 2 | This is a fantastic entry that you guys should be proud of! Incredible amount of polish, the mechanics are well implemented, the graphics are great, as is the audio. Nice tutorial, too. Super fun to play. I will say that the combination of cooking and zombie game was a bit odd (possibly in a humorous way), and either of the approaches could've worked on its own. Either way, great entry!! |
| Apr 10 03:11:08 | 13m 56s | Outrun the Darkness | ♥ 1 | Fantastic use of the theme -- using brightness and the intensity of the music to communicate with the player was a very cool idea. The pixel art was also extremely lovely! Well done, super solid entry!! |
| Apr 10 03:24:30 | 13m 22s | Mr. Second | ♥ 3 | Amazing graphics and super cool concept. The in-game tutorial was a really nice touch, too. Excellent submission!! |
| Apr 11 19:05:20 | 39h 40m | Demon Sigil | ♥ 2 | Super fun game, guys! The pixel art was super solid and and the shooting felt good. Took me a few minutes to realize you could reactivate the barriers -- that was a nice touch. I got pretty far on the boss, but as expected, perished a terrible, fiery death. Excellent submission! |
| Apr 11 19:14:50 | 9m 30s | Grandma | ♥ 1 | @smiley Hey man, nice entry! I had some trouble getting the dash to work. Maybe I'm missing something? I didn't get super far, but I have to say, the music blew me away. Super atmospheric and moody. Excellent chord selection. Gave me a bit of a Hyperlight Drifter vibe, which I love. Rating high in the audio category for that reason. Nice work!! |
| Apr 11 19:28:52 | 14m 02s | The Fire Will Die | ♥ 1 | @polymathld A relaxing and moody entry -- super solid work, man! As others have said, the attention to detail in the graphics and audio, in addition to the story, really set the tone immediately. An excellent submission you should be proud of! |
| Apr 11 22:56:10 | 3h 27m | Weed it & Reap | ♥ 0 | @javasaurus Hey man! Great game. Concept, controls, and graphics were on point, and the audio clips were pretty funny. Leaderboard was a great touch, too! Did you use Dreamlo for that by chance, or something else? Great submission. Also, thanks again for playing and rating my game on stream earlier, I really appreciated that! |
| Apr 11 23:29:02 | 32m 52s | Sir Blocksalot | ♥ 2 | This a great little game, you guys! Creative concept, great graphics, and audio was on point too. As others have pointed out, some feedback on how you did and clearing the board after deaths might be a nice touch. Also I did experience some performance issues. The longer a round lasted, the slower the game seemed to perform. Maybe there are some scripts running on every frame in the instantiated objects (rocks and bushes) that are causing some cpu lag? Not sure the cause. Regardless, this is a super solid entry that you guys should be proud of! Well done!! |
| Apr 12 19:16:30 | 19h 47m | Wizard Hunt | ♥ 1 | I liked the vibe of this one. Nice artwork, combat was simple but fun. I found the platforming slightly difficult and found myself wishing that the pace of the camera rising was a little slower. Overall cool game though! Nice entry! |
| Apr 12 19:56:46 | 40m 16s | Life On Mars | ♥ 1 | Absolutely lovely game. Music selection was great and really set the mood. A lonely reminder from planet Earth. The play area was well designed and the character controller worked fairly well. I did find myself upside down a lot, I think it would be a bit easier if the rover wouldn't get turned over quite so easily. The scan mechanic was really fun, as was the boost. Superb entry, guys. You should be very proud! |
| Apr 12 20:20:30 | 23m 44s | Decontamination | ♥ 1 | @kenforest As others have said, the vibe in this game is very immersive and spooky. Only the sound of your footsteps and the light of the flashlight is great. The PS1-style shaders were really cool -- what tools did you use to make this? I had some trouble completing some of the tasks because the objects were very spread out, but overall, this is a fantastic entry. Nice work!! |
| Apr 12 21:18:27 | 57m 57s | MOTH | ♥ 1 | @beefsock Amazing mood on this one. Having the player move from lit area to lit area (like a moth) was a very clever and minimalistic storytelling mechanic. Loved the retro low-res graphics. Did you use a special shade to achieve this, or is the output resolution of the game just set really low? Really fun ending, too. I played through it several times. I may consider making a shorter game in the future, I think it lends itself really well to game jams. As some others have said, usually for things to be considered a "game" there must be rules and victory/loss conditions which this seems to lack, but overall a very cool experience. Excellent entry! |
| Apr 12 22:04:34 | 46m 07s | TOOB | ♥ 2 | Love this entry! Reminds me a bit of the old Wipeout games. Incredible graphics and polish. I found the game quite difficult -- perhaps obstacles could be spaced out more or could be made to take up less space in the tube. Overall a fantastic submission, guys! Nice work. :) |
| Apr 12 23:19:19 | 1h 14m | Snooze | ♥ 1 | @lancescaterpie This was a really unique game! Novel concept and well excecuted. The conversations between hand and elbow were pretty hilarious, too. That alarm sound is super triggering for me (probably most of us), but the way you incorporated it into the music was super clever as well. Overall nice entry!! |
