| Apr 5 15:02:26 | STUDY LADY (cookie mix) | ♥ 4 | First thing I want to say is that the art is great! Every scene in the game was fun to look at and I looked forward to seeing what comes next in the next scene or next world. Something that really stuck out to me was the ability to click on something before a certain animation happens and you can get the better crystal amount. I loved that. The gameplay turned into twitch gameplay for me -- "I gotta tap on this before that cat appears to get more crystals!" UI design was also fantastic. The quality is top notch and I had a clear idea what my next upgrade cost and what it will do. It took me a second to realize how the worlds interacted with each other. However, even an idle game layman (like myself) can figure it out and there is a deeper strategy to it. It took me a long time to finish all 3 worlds but I saw that it can be in a much quicker time. To sum it up: - Fantastic art - Groovy track - Amazing animation - Deep strategy - Twitch click gameplay - Interesting connection between the worlds with the crystals | |
| Apr 5 23:59:47 | 8h 57m | Life On Mars | ♥ 1 | Fantastic graphics, great music, easy to understand gameplay, great UI design. The shadow mechanic is very cool and create quite the challenge for me. When I first started the game I thought to myself "Oh the screenshots show a rover but I'm just a box?" then after a few seconds I figured it out. Very cool idea to upgrade the rover. I spent a long time looking a the wheels haha. The bounciness and turn on the wheels looked great. The controls were a little hard to turn around. I thing that was the one difficulty I had. Overall a great job. |
| Apr 6 00:06:57 | 7m 10s | We Need To Talk | ♥ 2 | Holy cow what a great concept and nice execution. this is a really innovative and original fighting game. I really enjoyed it. The idea for the controls is great! I'm not too good at it yet. My score was a 63 |
| Apr 6 00:14:03 | 7m 06s | Ballgeon | ♥ 1 | It took me a second to figure out the mechanics of the game "Hey what happened to my ball? Oh it depends on the room? I'll just ram these enemies then!" went through my head. Art was great, gameplay was fun, overall design is fantastic. The different enemy types like the triangle were challenging. I did get a little dizzy from the camera movement but it did look cool. |
| Apr 6 00:30:00 | 15m 57s | ENDURACE - Drift Or Die | ♥ 3 | Jeez this was fun! This game is exactly in my wheelhouse -- racing and destruction. This is currently my favorite game of the jam. Destruction derby meets crazy racing The car physics were great I think. I could turn my car well and it was easy to backup if I hit a fence or the side of the road. I've made car games in the past and I know the fine tuning on car movement can be tough. Great work. The number of AI cars was awesome! I loved going up against so many cars. Let's talk about the particles, lighting and graphics. All of those were superb and when I saw a car explode I said "Damn!" to myself out loud haha. My two small critiques were the camera was a little tight on the car and its movement felt kinda sharp. I also didn't realize what lap I was on until lap 4 when I saw the counter. I guess that's more like real life so no problem. Loved this game. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 6 01:58:49 | 1h 28m | Endless Ninjas | ♥ 1 | Fun concept and any game with ragdoll physics is gonna make me happy. Super tense gameplay when your health is down to almost zero and you're trying to guess the ninja's next attack direction. |
| Apr 6 02:12:24 | 13m 35s | Rocket Lawnchair | ♥ 1 | I have no idea what I'm doing but I like that. I was aiming for the pools most of the game haha. I realized later I needed to stay up in the air. The cover art alone sold me on this game. Pretty difficult. I could only get 2.95 seconds! |
| Apr 6 02:21:42 | 9m 18s | RIG WRECKENING | ♥ 4 | Damn vampire helicopters I hate when those show up haha. Great graphics and animations. I liked the sound fx too. Controls were pretty hard for me to get used to but I think that's just a fine tuning thing. I'm still trying to defeat that helicopter. |
| Apr 6 02:26:47 | 5m 05s | Taoreta Mura | ♥ 0 | I got 43 seconds! It took me a second to figure it out at first but I got the hang of it. Simple concept and nice execution. I plan on going back to beat my score. |
| Apr 6 02:33:04 | 6m 17s | Sack Attack | ♥ 1 | Super difficult but incredibly innovative. The way the controls moved the legs is really something I haven't seen before in games. |
| Apr 6 02:44:19 | 11m 15s | Tatertot Towers | ♥ 0 | First the graphics are great. Second the camera and movement is super smooth. I could move around the level easily and turning the camera had everything rotate! Nice! It took me a second to figure out how to build the towers but I got the hang of it. Nice design and nice gameplay |
| Apr 6 02:48:42 | 4m 23s | Merge Getaway | ♥ 1 | Awesome idea. Controls were super tough but I don't imagine this game is suppose to be easy. Loved the graphics and the sound. Idea of merging with other cars of the same color is great. Nice work! |
| Apr 6 02:56:50 | 8m 08s | Futile Fire Fighters | ♥ 1 | I like the RTS feel of the game. I haven't played a game with RTS movement at a Ludum Dare before. cool idea. Tough but fair gameplay. I'll need to spend some more time with the game cuz I kinda just sent all the firefighters to the same spot. Graphics looked awesome too! |
| Apr 7 14:55:47 | 35h 58m | Brakeless | ♥ 1 | Nice controls. I felt that I could turn pretty easy. I did get stuck quite a few times and that ended my game. Driving animations with the jump was nice. Gameplay was a little sparse but I can see the start of something here. City layout was also nice. |
| Apr 8 05:53:39 | 14h 57m | All Charged Up! | ♥ 1 | Five stars for innovation on the controls. I never played a racing game where the mouse buttons controlled acceleration, reverse, and braking. Great idea! I think the turning had just enough slip to make it a challenge but wasn't too frustrating. I didn't feel like the car was skidding on ice and every turn was possible. Music was also pretty catchy. I left the game on while I was doing some laundry and I was rocking out to the song. My only negative was I missed a checkpoint and wasn't sure how to complete the race. I tried driving back to a checkpoint but nothing happened. Overall nice work |
| Apr 8 06:22:08 | 28m 29s | One More Song! | ♥ 3 | The graphics were simple but pretty awesome in my opinion. I enjoyed the puzzles and trying to figure out to get my band mates to play longer. I got the first aid kit to help get the bass player to play longer but I could never figure out what to do with the lingerie. Not sure what I was doing wrong but I still enjoyed the game. I haven't played a point and click game at a Ludum Dare. Pretty fun |
| Apr 9 04:12:00 | 21h 49m | Chase | ♥ 1 | It's a simple game but I had fun trying to challenge myself to last as long as possible. I think it fits the theme perfectly because you will inevitably get hit by a police car or run into a barrier. It's a good game for a challenge. I did spawn into a barrier or the police cars spawned in a way there was no way to get past the barrier. However, I wasn't too worried about it and just restarted. |
| Apr 9 04:48:29 | 36m 29s | THE EXIT WILL CLOSE | ♥ 0 | Wow what a challenge this game was! I spent a long time on the road crossing level trying to time it well but I was on a countdown clock. Talk about nail biting. Those green cars really got me. I like the variety in the levels and that platform level will haunt my dreams. Nice work! |
| Apr 10 21:47:43 | 40h 59m | Ice Ace | ♥ 2 | 2139 points! This is an really interesting concept. It's sort of a mix of baseball with golf and the continents(?)/islands(?) are the holes. I thought the split screen was a really innovative idea to get the concept that you are hitting the ice cube far. Also just when I thought, "Oh I guess the gameplay is mainly just this one loop of aiming and hitting." The world started spinning and it made the game more of a challenge. I know there is more stuff that can be added to this game to give it more variety but it's a game jam so I'm not going to harp on it. I think it's in a pretty good state. Music is fantastic. Very epic. Graphics are great. |
| Apr 11 02:59:43 | 5h 12m | Hold The Line | ♥ 2 | Wooo I loved this. Super fun and tense. I got 6:13. I love the rock, paper, scissors strategy and troop placement aspect of the game. I tried so many different ways to maximize my damage by trying to place troops so that they could take out two or more units. Awesome awesome awesome |
