| Apr 7 20:48:12 | Erefos | ♥ 4 | Obviously a very polished and awesome-looking game. The mood and graphics were spot-on. The only lacking elements to me are **innovation** and **theme**. I would have liked it much more if the game was unbeatable and procedurally generated. That would have been a solid 5. Nevertheless - super solid entry! Keep up the good work and I wish all the best to your studio guys! | |
| Apr 7 21:26:18 | 38m 06s | The Inevitable Dominion | ♥ 2 | I really dig the art style and the atmosphere. As previous reviewers stated - I haven't played a game where I feel so stressed but I only have to press one button - was a super cool experience. I would have liked to have some boosters to be able to bypass one or two times the most intense moments when the random generator spawns too much enemies at once. Anyways - this is just a game jam and the game is solid the way it is ✌️ Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 7 22:01:31 | 35m 13s | HANG UP! | ♥ 3 | I like the aesthetics and the humor. I think you guys did an amazing job. I would have liked if there were some booster to get you out of the danger zone one or two times before you actually fail. Nevertheless, a solid entry for this LDJ :) |
| Apr 7 22:12:10 | 10m 39s | The Ultimate Martian Roulette | ♥ 4 | I totally lost it when the guy in front of me shot himself and started glitching on the floor rolling in a sitting position endlessly. A solid entry for this LDJ! |
| Apr 7 22:23:54 | 11m 44s | The Scraps of Victory | ♥ 1 | Super cute game. I don't have any negative feedback, really :) |
| Apr 7 22:49:20 | 25m 26s | Anya's Valley | ♥ 1 | A cute-looking game. Even though I am not super big on these types of games and it took me some tries to understand what I have to do and how the interactions work - I had a fun time playing. Keep up the good work ✌️ |
| Apr 20 13:44:22 | 302h 55m | Don`t Sleep | ♥ 1 | Super cool game - very polished as well. I liked the core theme and idea - it is really hard to stay awake in some of them corporate meetings 😅 I kind of wanted to have a bit more time before getting infested with sheep - maybe it can be a bit more balanced so you get the chance to play a bit more and build a bit more before dying. All in all, I think your team did a great job! 👏 |
| Apr 20 13:59:51 | 15m 29s | Leaf the Ghost behind | ♥ 2 | Overall a cute game and kind of reminded me of Icy Tower in terms of music and visuals 😅 A few notes though Given my experience in making 2.5D platformers (around 2 years), I can say there are some problems: - You should not slow down the character on landing - this breaks the flow (especially when someone is chasing you). Think of Sonic or Ori or any other successful platformer out there - You should spend a lot of time working on collisions - extend a bit the collision of each platform so the player can jump even after leaving the platform by a few pixels. This helps the player feel more skilled/accomplished The thing that chases you should have a well-defined shape to know when exactly it will get you. Your big sprite was a bit misleading. Afterwards, I found out that it does not matter - the only thing that matters was the time, which made it quite okay. Nevertheless, I think your game is finished, well polishe, and has good art. I enjoyed playing it :) |
| Apr 20 19:48:35 | 5h 48m | Hymenoptera King | ♥ 1 | I was super surprised to see so many systems integrated into the game! I like the atmosphere and the world you've built. Sometimes a lot of hornets decide randomly to land and I can insta-lose even with only 2 WEIGHT 😅 I would have also liked if I start with zero weight and I am kind of able to see what makes the weight go up because sometimes it was a bit unclear - maybe a warning sign can be added at the places where you currently need to take action. Anyways, for a one-man-army this submition is super impressive :) |
| Apr 20 20:09:52 | 21m 17s | Aster Defense | ♥ 4 | I really liked the concept and I find the game to be an interesting take on Tower Defense. As others stated - you should work a bit on balancing and continuously raising the difficulty. It seems most players survive forever on their second try which, unfortunately, conflicts with the theme. Nevertheless, I like the visuals and the ambiance. This asteroids destruction echo is spot on - super satisfying! WinForEternity.png |
| Apr 20 20:25:14 | 15m 22s | Culmination | ♥ 1 | I like the atmosphere - didn't think it will get that spooky for a top-down game 😅 The screen flash was a bit intense and the UI was a bit wonky but I overall enjoyed the experience. Nice take on the theme, as well - I thought I escaped but actually ... (no I won't spoil the games for others 😆 ) Overall, a solid jam entry! |
| Apr 20 21:16:58 | 51m 44s | Chasin' Dreams | ♥ 0 | I liked the concept and the game kept me interested. Some of the collisions need fixing but that is normal for Game Jam games. I like that it fits the theme and the spawn of coins seems fair. I was able to last around 4 minutes, maybe the developers can share their highscore 😅 Untitled1.png |
| Apr 20 21:25:16 | 8m 18s | To Build A Fire | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept - haven't played a lot of games from the genre and I think there are not a lot so I find it innovative! Yes, it is weird and wonky but it kind of feels right. Big ups for the effort, such a gem. |
| Apr 21 09:06:45 | 11h 41m | Dads don't die | ♥ 2 | Super polished and overall an amazing experience! I see a lot of work done here and you've managed to deliver an emotional piece of art. I only wished to be able to play the chess for a bit more 😅 Great job guys! |
| Apr 21 12:44:15 | 3h 37m | Super Mowser Bros | ♥ 1 | I think this is one of the most polished games in terms of UI/Graphics and I really liked the concept. Only drawback - as others stated - the original version is quite easy and practically you can survive for eternity which, unfortunately, conflicts with the theme. Good LUCK! |
| Apr 21 13:02:18 | 18m 03s | MegaSpiker | ♥ 1 | I really liked the intense feeling of being chased and I tried strafing as much as possible 😅 I respect the fact that you've implemented this without too much engine code - it is quite impressive - also navmeshes are hard, man. I think it fits the theme perfectly. I probably would want to have an indicator how far away are the monsters behind me and adding a little ambient sound (royalty-free) would really spice things up and make the game much more intense. Good job! |
| Apr 21 13:13:43 | 11m 25s | [HTML5/WebGL] Be the Inevitable | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed the game and all the weapons had their own flavor. The shotgun was really impactful and satisfying - good job. I am not 100% sure I like the twist that I was the inevitable but I have not played any other LDJ50 game that has this twist so it was Unique, at least for me :) GOOD LUCK! |
| Apr 21 13:23:19 | 9m 36s | The Cold Night | ♥ 1 | I agree with the others - this was a nice take on the theme. Maybe the powerups could be a bit more visible and I would have liked the snowman spawns to be a bit more balanced to have a learning curve (just like in Icy Tower - you don't go to the fastest stage in the first 20 seconds). Apart from that - I really liked the aesthetics and the mood - good job! GOOD LUCK! |
| Apr 21 13:32:17 | 8m 58s | Back2Work | ♥ 1 | Great game - I find the VFX quite good and the whole mood is properly set. It was quite hard getting used to aiming with the keyboard - mouse support is definitely something to implement for your next games (if you decide to go Top-Down again). I respect the fact that you are an one-man-army so I boosted my scores a bit :) |
| Apr 21 13:48:49 | 16m 32s | Dawn of the Karen | ♥ 1 | You definitely get 5/5 for humor and mood. I also think the difficulty is quite spot on. The game got me hooked and I tried several times which is a good sign. I have only one remark - the playable screen is actually 1.4? times bigger than what you can see. That adds a bit of randomness if an enemy will spawn off-screen and directly destroy you. In a game where you die from one hit - this is a bit tricky. All in all, I think you guys did a great job! |
| Apr 21 14:06:13 | 17m 24s | Reactor Meltdown (The Simpsons) | ♥ 0 | Quoting @bjornstahl > The difficulty curve was a bit steep, it should be possible for a new player to be slow and experiment with the first few panels but here if you did not know exactly what to do with ever panel as the popped up you would loose. Exactly what I was about to write. Everything else is super-cool. Good job man! PS: I almost lasted more than a minute my last try (if I remember correctly). Wonder what is your highscore |
