Oct 8 20:51:43 Anxiety ♥ 1 A fine game, albeit with a grim ending. What is Ludum Dare without your surreal and mind-blowing artwork? Nothing. Or: Not much. It is good to see you are still contributing here. Your games never fail to convey a unique and powerful impression. Vous êtes un véritable artiste, monsieur.
Oct 17 00:09:46 195h 18m The Phaser Machine ♥ 1 Very unusual puzzle game. Also, it is a thinking man’s game. I got to Level 5 — I gave up then, as it became too difficult. But that is a criticism mainly against me — I tend not to be good at games like this. Anyway, this game very much fits the theme. Certainly, it is something different. Well done for ~10 hours.
Oct 17 00:23:05 13m 19s Every 10 seconds we flip ♥ 0 I like the sound effects in this game. It took me some time to figure out what the goal is, even after reading the instructions. I am in the habit of thinking in terms of Tetris; the differences in this game threw me off. I think this game is out of my league. Even so, it is a good use of the theme. I like the bitsy graphics and the controls seemed to work smoothly. It’s just something I couldn't really wrap my mind around.
Oct 17 00:33:37 10m 32s mood swing simulator ♥ 1 The music in this game is beautiful. You got a top score in Audio. I had trouble learning how to shoot at first, but then I got the hang of it. This is very much reminiscent of Pac Man You did a good job of applying the theme nonetheless. Yes, moods do come and go in cycles. One of the more fun games here.
Oct 17 00:39:49 6m 12s Dodgex ♥ 1 I like intuitive, simple games like this. The graphics are good and the sound fits the gameplay very well. My only suggestion is to let the player use the arrow keys as well as A,D. Overall, a fun game. Nice work.
Oct 17 00:52:38 12m 49s Ťɦȩ Ɽḗḋ ꓤⴃὄⴅ ♥ 1 Very interesting game, though too tough for me to crack. Still, I did make progress, and it was fun trying. You definitely nailed the theme. The ticking of the clock certainly adds to the ambiance. Overall, a solid entry.
Oct 17 01:01:40 9m 02s The First Fire ♥ 0 A fun, simple game. It took me a few tries to get the hang of it. One way to improve this game is to add a score, perhaps based on time. That way, I can measure my progress. Also, it would be good to add some variety to the game — music is one way to do this, as well as changing environments. Overall, however, I had some fun with this game.
Oct 17 01:14:08 12m 28s BOGDARU ♥ 1 Very impressive game! I gave you top scores for Graphics, Audio, and Mood. The images and sound effects in this game are stunning. I only wish there were a mini-map; I kept losing my way. But that's just a small complaint. One of the best games I've played so far. Good work, folks.
Oct 18 00:18:47 23h 04m SquareMan ♥ 1 This game is a lot of fun. I like the simple, intuitive controls. I wish the speed were a bit slower, but it’s no big deal once you get the hang of it. The music is top-notch: 5/5. To eat the dots and diamonds at supersonic speed — that gave me pleasure. Nice work.
Oct 18 00:33:12 14m 25s MinerLoop ♥ 1 Very interesting concept. It took me a while to figure out how to explore, but eventually I got the hang of it. I only wish there were a way to overcome the “no loop” limitation. It would have made the game more interesting. On the other hand, it makes for a good puzzle game. Overall, a pretty good entry — certainly innovative. Nice work.
Oct 18 00:49:40 16m 28s Miller's Palm ♥ 1 The artwork in this game is eerie and very striking. I like the feel of it. Very impressive. I gave this game a top score for mood. It seems to fit the theme well. I made some progress but could not figure it out — but I am not very good at this kind of game. Still, it was interesting exploring. Very imaginative.
Oct 19 00:30:11 23h 40m Wordy McWordface ♥ 0 I like the primitive graphics and simple gameplay. It reminds me of old-skool games like the Atari 2600 and so forth. I didn't encounter any bugs and the controls worked smoothly enough. It was a challenge to know when to use bombs. Some music (even a simple BeepBox tune) would add a lot. Overall, not a bad entry. Nice work.
Oct 19 00:41:22 11m 11s Black Zen White ♥ 1 Beat it — though I was about to give up. Usually I'm not very good at platformers. You did a good job of making challenging levels without making them too difficult. The theme is integrated very well. The sound effects — e.g. of the falling block and Sleepy — are very good. I like the simple color scheme. The controls worked smoothly. Well done.
Oct 19 00:56:17 14m 55s 10-sec pause mania ♥ 1 Very unusual puzzle game. I like the sound effects quite a bit. Also, the graphics, though simple, are appealing. I'm not good at games like this, but I did make some progress. So, the difficulty level seemed to be right on. Everything seemed well-integrated. The tips at the end of each level were helpful. A solid entry.
Oct 21 00:55:53 47h 59m Far. ♥ 1 I was finally able to borrow a Windows machine (on Linux, I couldn't get the keyboard to work in Firefox). At first it was soothing, exploring different planets and collecting resources. I played for 20-30 minutes and was able to get several upgrades. The mystery resource (it looks like a round rock) I was unable to find, alas. The music adds to the ambiance, but a bit more variety would help. The planet graphics, though very simple, somehow added to the mood as well. I felt like I was playing a game from the 1980's: it was nostalgic. You are right, it did become tedious after a while, and it would help if you shortened the length of time needed to beat the game. Even so, this is an unusual game and it was fun exploring the world you created. A solid entry. Nice work, compadre.
