Oct 15 03:23:08 Curse of the Wereburger ♥ 1 Game good. Would rate again. Art had good details, animations were juicy too. I kinda wish there was more color but it was thematic to have it black and white. Lots of content and explored the mechanics well! I found the last level a little confusing, especially because he seems to be able to shoot you 1 block out of the range of the laser I think? Overall this is a really good and really complete submission, nice work!
Oct 15 03:41:09 18m 01s Escape the Island ♥ 1 That was fun. I feel like it may have controlled better if the collider were better because you can sorta get stuck half-off a block. The premise is fine. It plays well! The UI is gray, and it would be cool if it had a custom graphic or something. Nice submission!
Oct 15 04:11:11 30m 02s The Potion Shop - an LGBT story ♥ 1 Nice little game! Nice art in the background. It's a cute little story! However, the game rests on the story and the story didn't surprise me that much. I would have loved if there was a twist, something surprising, or philosophical to chew on in the story to spice it up a bit. Nice submission!
Oct 15 04:39:30 28m 19s Downpour ♥ 2 Wow! This is really good stuff. The colors, the sounds, and the fact that it's just simply good, focused, clean, and fun to play! Introduces mechanics at the right pace, and doesn't break from it's mood for the duration of the game. I just noticed now that all the 10 seconds things are from the thunderstorm which is cool. Really excellent submission!
Oct 15 05:13:38 34m 08s The Lure of Treasure Whisper Island ♥ 1 Interesting! It was a nice little game. Interesting use of the Unity terrain system (I'm assuming?) I found it pretty challenging but I was able to find one. For a compo game this was a nice cool little project and the concept seemed kind of unique. Voice acting of course is on-point.
Oct 15 05:38:19 24m 41s Shutter Chaos ♥ 3 Awesome! Great jank physics, great puppet models and texture, very fun in-spite, or perhaps because, of how difficult it is to get them to actually do anything right. Funny yearbook quotes. Nice work!
Oct 15 05:58:15 19m 56s Clique Hell High ♥ 2 Really good for a first game jam submission! It's hard! Animations are good. I feel like if the first part of the game was a little easier I could have warmed up to the mechanics easier, or at least checkpoints would have been super helpful. Nice work on the game, I can see the effort in the game and on the little marketing screen thing. Nice submission!
Oct 17 23:20:44 65h 22m Speed Dating for Misfits ♥ 1 I love this game. So many great characters. Each character perfectly encapsulates the idea that you're talking to someone/something just a little bit.. off, or unexpected. I'm looking for constructive criticism and failing to come up with any. Great entry!
Oct 18 20:20:13 20h 59m Pandora’s Box [WebGL/Win/Touch] ♥ 1 Nice game! Some people may have already mentioned some of these things but here's what I notice: The focus of attention for development for this game was clearly aesthetics, which are great! But there are some graphical issues and the level design is... fine... if the player controller doesn't feel slightly jank. I noticed were that there was either a lack of anti-aliasing or a lack of resolution on some things. Also the player controller's movement is on a different update loop than the camera, which causes that stutter. I loved the aesthetics in this game though. Nice submission! Edit: OH I forgot to mention. As I said, the aesthetics are great, so consider using a different font than Arial or whatever the default is because that would have looked great here!
Oct 18 22:26:59 2h 06m Such a short notice to move all the boxes and leave the green door... ♥ 1 Interesting. I think if I had to actually mash the keys each time instead of it looping I would have been able to control it better. I like the concept of slowly figuring it out but I kind of wish I would have known I was supposed to be looking for that at the beginning, because it took me a really long time to figure that out. Also the name of the game is hilarious; I love it. Nice entry!
Oct 20 00:29:30 26h 02m Relentless ♥ 1 Once I get the flame thrower it's all over. Rockets don't even compare honestly. Cool little game, looks like an old flash game although I guess it's Java? The player has momentum that gets kinda floaty and I bounce off walls with momentum - the momentum in general feels a bit hard to control. It's fun despite that though. I wish there was some fitting audio. Nice submission!
Oct 20 00:52:39 23m 09s Get All the Orbs ♥ 1 SCREEN-SHAKE ON IMPACT YAAAAS!! It's pretty satisfying to pwn n00bs. Sound is pretty good too. The artwork for the enemies and player feel like they could be better. I think the enemies could be faster and the camera backed out slightly. The level barriers also seem like they were just thrown in, and don't feel natural. Enemies can spawn out of bounds but you probably knew that. Nice submission!
Oct 20 01:26:54 34m 15s Medieval Politics ♥ 0 I love the idea that it's like "PEOPLE JUST WON'T STOP GIVING ME LOVE MAKE IT STOP" which really makes it enjoyable; I find myself sitting there saying "NO. GO AWAY." out loud. I think there should be more cards, some sarcastic music, and yeah that dang NaN bug really throws a wrench in it. Really funny though and a great submission!
Oct 20 01:44:08 17m 14s Vastitas Fracturae ♥ 0 Someone already mentioned it but major Iron Lung vibes here. It really feels like the focus of this game was to stir up a similar mood. In fact, I'm still not sure if I understand the mechanics of the game or not, but I enjoyed engaging with the aesthetics almost more than the actual gameplay if that makes sense. Awesome submission!
Oct 20 02:53:15 1h 09m Thunderstorm ♥ 1 This is awesome. Love the aesthetics and the creepiness of it all. I felt like the section with the spiders and hiding in the holes was really difficult and tedious; that's where I eventually gave up. The mood is great, and it's cool that there really is a bit of a horror aspect to it when it's just a compo game made in pygame. Impressive!
Oct 20 15:44:15 12h 51m You've been Thunderstruck ♥ 1 For such a simple concept I'm surprised how addictive it was. Controller support was a LIFESAVER during the second to last segment so I could actually slow down and thread the needle. It's fun going super fast at the end but it man it requires some precision in that second to last part. A nice little challenge; great submission!
Oct 20 22:18:28 6h 34m Cyblade: The Tale of Mark Wan ♥ 1 This was one of the most fun games I've rated in LD51! Reloading did eventually stop working for me but it was still very fun to play multiple times :)
Oct 20 22:34:24 15m 56s Under Pressure ♥ 2 It took a couple attempts to get the hang of it but I had a lot of fun trying to keep everything under control! I also like the voxel art :)
Oct 20 22:49:18 14m 54s Darkstar Sailor ♥ 1 It was pretty fun once the cannon balls came back! I got 134 kills
Oct 20 22:54:18 5m 00s Police Arrive Every 10 Seconds ♥ 1 Awesome. Music is great, actions are punchy and satisfying and the upgrades are addictive. I wish the sprites were a little more detailed, and that there was more in the environment. One issue I noticed is that if you leave with the first truck each time, you're basically invincible, and it's also really boring to play that way. I wish the baddies posed more of a threat. Great submission!
Oct 20 23:50:23 56m 05s Chicken Produced All (Clicker game) ♥ 0 Interesting. I wish there was more to do. I feel like clicking the egg isn't super responsive, like if it shook a little and made particles, that would be cool. I want to rate this up on art too but the art isn't original! Still great use of assets and a fun little game. Nice submission!
Oct 21 00:04:44 14m 21s 10 Second Testing ♥ 0 I was surprised it was so short but it's good and it's funny. I wonder why the gun particles shoot backwards, and it fires on mouse up and down lol. Great sense of attitude, feels a bit jank but I like when the music kicks in louder and it's like "oh crap". Nice submission!
Oct 21 00:14:31 9m 47s Adventures of a Lonely Pixel ♥ 1 Interesting stuff. I was a little confused about where the checkpoints were sometimes. I also wish there was more sound as others mentioned, and some other notes in the music to spice it up. Bloomified neon always looks good. Nice submission!
Oct 21 00:39:46 25m 15s Vanilla Sky ♥ 1 As others said I also fell through the floor a lot but I was still able to make it to the end. It's an interesting concept and has nice potential if you keep working on smoothing out the bugs in your custom engine
Oct 21 00:52:12 12m 26s Groovy Gremlinz ♥ 1 This was very fun and unexpected! I ended up with some really cool sounding audio
Oct 23 19:03:27 66h 11m Trackdizzia ♥ 1 Here from the devlog. Cool stuff!
