| Apr 3 19:13:57 | Never High Noon | ♥ 2 | I'll have to come back when ratings open up, this was really good! I did have a couple instances where my character got stuck in the road just to the right of the left ramp. Adding rating! Very fun! | |
| Apr 4 11:18:46 | 16h 04m | Model-5C | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! Something about the camera gave me motion sickness which isn't your fault, it happens to me with FPS games too but it did prevent me from giving it a full playthrough. What I did pay seemed to work well. Controls were generally easy to get down and figure out where to go was easy enough. Looked and sounded really good too. |
| Apr 4 11:25:53 | 7m 07s | Slime Survivor | ♥ 1 | A bit easy but honestly that is best for entries IMO, ensures a good play through. Best of all it had a fun factor. Art was good. I did have one crash right after the game started but it seemed fine at that. Nice job |
| Apr 4 11:32:01 | 6m 08s | Department of Fire Deferral | ♥ 1 | Some good things going on here like procedural generation of the map. Controls were extremely tough for me to use but after a while I figured it out enough to put out some fires. I'm not 100% what the bonuses were doing for me if I'm being honest. Not a bad entry, I like the overall look and I think if I could have moved using the mouse in a point and click style I probably would have enjoyed it a bit more. |
| Apr 4 11:38:16 | 6m 15s | Last Robot Survivor Needs Energy | ♥ 1 | Took me a couple play throughs to get past the first few seconds of the game but once I did I really enjoyed this. I found myself laughing a decent amount at the sound effects (which were my favorite type of sound effects). I think if movement speed was offered as a skill level up immediately it would be a little be better (maybe it is completely random and I just got unlucky). Is there any way to aim other than it just shooting at the closest enemy? I wasn't sure, sometimes it seemed like there way and other times it didn't. In any case, I've rated this one the highest of the few I've played thus far. Good luck! |
| Apr 4 13:35:48 | 1h 57m | Avoidance Advanced | ♥ 1 | Very nice job, very simple mechanic that allows you to get the full experience really quickly. Very hard the longer you go! Some sound would have really been nice but otherwise no complaints. |
| Apr 4 13:42:07 | 6m 19s | DATA OVERLOAD | ♥ 1 | I'm a sucker for old school Atari style games and this reminded me a ton of Astrosmash. Pretty fun actually. Love how you decided to implement the scores and user data into a functional background. I laughed pretty hard when I lost, for the briefest of a moment I thought my computer crashed! Nicely done! |
| Apr 4 14:03:28 | 21m 21s | HoldShit | ♥ 0 | Game loaded fine for me except when first playing it there is just a black screen with a "Skip" in the upper right corner. Clicking that gets the game going but not sure if I'm supposed to be seeing something more there. Game is simple but yet a bit difficult. I found it pretty funny and a great use of the theme but seems like maybe it needs a bit more work telling the player how to play (unless that is what I'm missing on the first screen). I laughed pretty good a few times. |
| Apr 4 14:20:33 | 17m 05s | Snowman Souls | ♥ 3 | Not bad for a first timer! Loved the effect the dog had on the snowman 😆 I understood the premise I think but I couldn't ever get to where ever I was probably suppose to go. Maybe melt factor is too high or maybe there is something I'm missing that could be better described. Nice sound work and overall visuals. |
| Apr 4 14:35:20 | 14m 47s | Hole In No | ♥ 1 | Hey that's pretty good. Deceptively simple at first. I thought "I'll get to 20, no problem", yeah about that. I couldn't get past 18. Not sure I could say much to improve it, maybe not take as long to get to the difficult speed/bounces? Perhaps some other levels would be good. Nicely done |
| Apr 4 15:46:14 | 1h 10m | TyPing Pong | ♥ 1 | I love typing games and almost did one myself. Good mechanic that I wasn't expecting when I first loaded it. Love how you did the tutorial and forced it. Dashes kept tripping me up but I played a good long while. Perhaps some more word variety would be good. Overall nice job |
| Apr 4 16:20:05 | 33m 51s | Legacy Survivors | ♥ 1 | My god this was WAY more fun than a Ludum Dare game probably should be. I'm bookmarking and playing more later 👏🏻 Da da da, Sound effect are wonderful! Very addicting, I'd love to see this expanded on for a full release. If I was to offer one piece of criticism it'd be that I think if you could aim with the mouse it might be a bit more fun though less challenging for sure. I died a lot by just stopping to aim, but I also realize that is sort of the point so maybe better the way it is. Fantastic entry. I sent a link to my brother who doesn't participate but he highly enjoyed the game as well. Nicely done sir! EDIT: I kept playing... I realized after closing the browser that my progress was saved which is really cool but perhaps a way to start over would be a nice addition |
| Apr 4 16:24:21 | 4m 16s | Lumber Tracks | ♥ 1 | Thanks for playing my game, I like what you were going for here. It took me a couple tries to get the mechanic down but it worked pretty good. Nicely done. |
| Apr 4 16:29:30 | 5m 09s | Lords of the Deck: 50 cards to WAR | ♥ 2 | This is the first time I've been able to effectively test a table top submission. I love that you have some simple to follow instructions and just a standard deck of cards. I really think my grandfather might of enjoyed this game (he was a pretty avid solitaire player). You should look into getting the game printed up with a specialized deck or something, I could see people buying it. I didn't win any of the games but I think it is mechanically sound and I probably would win if I kept playing (and I might) Nice job! |
| Apr 4 16:59:48 | 30m 18s | Barbar-chicks | ♥ 2 | I keep getting a memory exception (web version) but I managed to play for a bit. Graphics are wonderful. The error I think I narrowed down to when a knight is on what I'm calling A2 (far left, second row from bottom). When I try to move him off that tile I get an exception. I can't seem to do good enough to hire another knight but outside of the error and what I'm sure is my poor ability to play, it is pretty nice entry |
| Apr 4 17:57:23 | 57m 35s | Life of a Mosquito | ♥ 1 | I think it was a bit easy but it looked really good and overall plays pretty well. There are few spots where you can just park your Mosquito and never move and survive. Overall though it isn't a bad entry and good use of theme. Maybe some sort of difficulty slider or something would have been good. |
| Apr 4 18:13:17 | 15m 54s | Wipeout | ♥ 3 | So I really, and I mean REALLY, sucked at this 😆 That aside, you have good mechanics here. It looks good and sounds good. I'm sure with enough practice I'd be able to score some actual points but I stink at this sort of game. Nice entry |
| Apr 4 18:42:04 | 28m 47s | Piggy Pileup | ♥ 0 | Rather enjoyed this game, might be nice if there was some sort of bonus/power that allowed you to destroy a pig or shove it out of the way. I played through about 8 times I think, 5 letters was the most I could ever combine but I could just not be that great of a speller. Nice entry! |
| Apr 4 18:57:01 | 14m 57s | Coming for you | ♥ 1 | I really stink at the game but I think it is working as intended. The Death mechanic is pretty good but I couldn't figure out what the goal was outside of repeating deaths "Simon Says" game. Appears to be a good use of the theme and it looks really good too. |
| Apr 4 19:12:18 | 15m 17s | SkyTimer | ♥ 1 | Reminds me a lot of the old N64 game "Pilot Wings", that's a good things as I loved that game. Simply mechanic and easy to understand. Great graphics. Slightly dizzying for me but not hold that against you. Very nice entry! |
| Apr 4 20:04:10 | 51m 52s | speedy student | ♥ 2 | Mechanically sound, seems like it really needs some more levels but it works and has good sound. |
| Apr 4 22:14:56 | 2h 10m | NeedyMonsters | ♥ 3 | It's a nice looking game, pretty laid back. It took me a really long time to figure out what I as actually doing but otherwise not bad. |
| Apr 4 22:42:32 | 27m 36s | No Match | ♥ 2 | Solid entry. Easy to understand. Well done! |
| Apr 4 23:57:49 | 1h 15m | Inevitable Defense | ♥ 1 | Nice entry. Controls were a bit tough to setup a good aim at the aliens but other than that I really enjoyed it. Good use of dialog, hopefully if aliens ever attack it isn't up to one apache helicopter though 😆 |
| Apr 5 00:08:59 | 11m 10s | Mystery Bomb | ♥ 4 | There was a point in my life where I played a ton of games like this and it really took me back a bit. Not a bad little game at all, nice job. |
| Apr 5 10:40:26 | 10h 31m | Horde! | ♥ 3 | Nice little game! A little hard to steer the zombie but he is a zombie and probably doesn't follow commands well 😜 Might of been helpful if there were some arrows or something that would indicate where humans were located, I found myself mostly not finding any. Still, it has a fun factor, looks good, and sounds like zombies. |
| Apr 5 10:52:05 | 11m 39s | Carpentangle | ♥ 1 | Hey this is really pretty cool! With enough time I think somebody could really develop some strategy here and go a long way, sadly that wasn't me but it was fun all the same. Might of been nice if you could flip pieces or maybe throw away a piece from the board. |
| Apr 5 11:12:33 | 20m 28s | OBRUTA | ♥ 2 | First off, this game is graphically beautiful! Good concepts but maybe a small tutorial might of been good to tell me what I was suppose to do exactly. I punched the big orange spores but was sure what to do beyond avoiding the darkness. Still, a nice entry. |
| Apr 5 14:21:37 | 3h 09m | 22h38 | ♥ 3 | Visually this is really great. I only ever made it to 2 shrines before the world ends but all and all a good entry. |
| Apr 5 14:27:10 | 5m 33s | NAP GUARDIAN | ♥ 1 | This is pretty great, took me a couple tries to get it as I kept skipping the tutorial text (oops). Looks and sounds really good. Dash mechanic is nice. Good job |
| Apr 5 16:39:59 | 2h 12m | Farm Defender | ♥ 2 | Audio was a bit loud at times but otherwise a pretty clean entry. An interesting take on a tower defense, I liked it. |
| Apr 5 16:43:05 | 3m 06s | Aster Defense | ♥ 4 | Nice little game. Perhaps a bit easy? I think some sort of in game "what this button does" feature would be good on hover. Good job though! |
| Apr 5 17:12:22 | 29m 17s | Gone Out | ♥ 2 | Very laid back and easy to understand. Works as advertised. Animation of the sprites looks really good. Nicely done! |
| Apr 5 18:12:58 | 1h 00m | StopShot | ♥ 1 | @augustcoder - How do you move? I'm using the HTML5 version. I can shoot without an issue but no keys seem to move the player |
| Apr 5 18:52:03 | 39m 05s | DEATH AND TAXES | ♥ 1 | Very nice! I had fun with this (played solo). 820 was max score I could get to. Seems like a decent amount of thought went into this and it shows in the game play. Great entry |
| Apr 5 18:55:50 | 3m 47s | Last Day of Serenity Orbital Station | ♥ 2 | I managed to save 30 pods. Nice entry. Was a bit difficult to aim perhaps but overall I enjoyed it |
| Apr 5 19:13:12 | 17m 22s | Colony Defender | ♥ 1 | This is pretty good. Visually wonderful. Easy to understand but a bit slow paced. The only thing I'm not sure about is what happens once all escape pods have been launched? It just seemed to keep sending ships. |
| Apr 5 19:35:10 | 21m 58s | Glide'r Die | ♥ 1 | I heard "Ow My Leg" a lot but I eventually got the hang of it mostly. Never made it to the end but it was much fun. Nice entry! |
| Apr 5 20:20:01 | 44m 51s | ENDURACE - Drift Or Die | ♥ 3 | Not a bad entry. I get motion sick so this didn't work well for me but I didn't count off for that in my voting. Nice entry. |
| Apr 5 23:28:17 | 3h 08m | Orbles | ♥ 4 | First off, the game looks amazing! It took me entirely too long to figure out how to play though but once I did it was really quite enjoyable. Nice job |
| Apr 6 23:19:21 | 23h 51m | Icebreak | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! Looks great and seemed like it had a good progression too. Nice job |
| Apr 6 23:24:06 | 4m 45s | Sapper Master | ♥ 3 | Well I completely sucked at that game but it was a blast all the same. I got a grand score of 11. Nice entry! |
| Apr 8 14:21:47 | 38h 57m | SwimCity 2000 | ♥ 0 | Pretty impressive actually. Few bugs as others pointed out but I may have a bit of bias toward likely the game since City Simulators are sort of my favorite games. Overall rather good job! |
| Apr 8 16:54:36 | 2h 32m | Mr. Second | ♥ 1 | Fantastic idea and pretty well implemented. I had a few instance where it would zip me back to a spot where I automatically fell off the platform, intended? Otherwise worked well and was enjoyable. Nice job! |
| Apr 9 21:00:33 | 28h 05m | Bubbles | ♥ 1 | Some good things going on here. Took me a few to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. Laid back game was kind of a nice pace. Nice job. |
| Apr 9 21:03:31 | 2m 58s | You Are The Snooze Button | ♥ 1 | Nice take on the theme fore sure. |
| Apr 9 21:19:53 | 16m 22s | Knighthood | ♥ 1 | Simple but good. I liked the balance between using the laser and melee. Laser safer but less effective, melee less safe but stronger. Overall pretty good. I got to a score of 11, so I sucked but it was fun anyway |
| Apr 9 21:24:04 | 4m 11s | Wait For It ! | ♥ 1 | Hey that was really clever! I really enjoyed it, very easy to understand and the intro was really nice. |
| Apr 9 21:27:02 | 2m 58s | JUGGERNAUT | ♥ 0 | Nice little shooter. Deceptively simple and very enjoyable. Was a bit difficult to read the title screen, took me bit to see that I needed to hit space bar to start the game. Nice job |
| Apr 10 00:10:30 | 2h 43m | Battery Buisness | ♥ 1 | Nice entry. Pretty easy to understand. Good job |
| Apr 10 18:17:47 | 18h 07m | Cabbage Crashers | ♥ 2 | Nice entry, as a few others have said a tutorial would go a long way. Overall though pretty good concept |
| Apr 10 19:23:21 | 1h 05m | Farm Dog | ♥ 4 | So based on the Leaderboard I completely suck 😆 Overall a great entry and the sound and music was fantastic! Aiming was a bit difficult for me but otherwise loved it! |
| Apr 11 23:18:16 | 27h 54m | Ultimate Mushroom Damocles Revenger | ♥ 3 | Wonderful! It gets really chaotic really quick but was still pretty fun. Nice entry! |
| Apr 13 23:09:23 | 47h 51m | Wigglesmith | ♥ 1 | Nice first entry. Some good things going on here but it was rather difficult to control (for me anyway). It is an very cool idea though and the art is exceptional. Nice job |
| Apr 16 00:07:53 | 48h 58m | Blizzard | ♥ 1 | Pretty difficult for me, i only made it past the first jump once out of 25 times. That said, it seems like a pretty good game and I'm sure if I kept at it I'd get further along. The sprite explosions were wonderfully done. Nice entry |
