| Oct 5 16:58:28 | Paper Trails | ♥ 1 | Wow, I absolutely adore the graphics & the portraits. So good. The dialogue was also so entertaining, and I love how it was incorporated into the gameplay. If I had to make one suggestion: I struggled quite with the mechanics, particularly when I would latch onto a platform and was trying to swing onto it. I think adding the ability to jump while attached would've made the experience more enjoyable and less frustrating. Otherwise, this was such a cool game, and I love how you used real pictures to create it. Lastly, I would really appreciate if you could give our game a rate. We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be wonderful. :) Here's the link: https://ldj.am/$303168 | |
| Oct 5 17:13:33 | 15m 05s | Starmony | ♥ 3 | This game was adorable! Shooting the stars out of the cannon was so satisfying. Sounds were also amazing. If I had to give one piece of feedback, it would be to think about limiting how many times the player can shoot the cannon. I was able to clear most of the levels by simply spamming the cannon and waiting! Although this in itself made for a fun experience (the pure chaos of it), I think it could've been a bit more challenging. :) Overall, this was a super awesome game! Also, hate to ask but if you could give our game a rating, I'd really appreciate it. We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be wonderful! https://ldj.am/$303168 :) |
| Oct 5 17:29:35 | 16m 02s | Cook'n'Slash! | ♥ 2 | This game is *awesome*. Running through the tomatoes and slashing at them in and of itself was enough to keep me entertained. I also love that this game makes you feel like you're getting better at it; I eventually developed a strategy of killing all the tomatoes, bringing the pieces by the fire, and then cooking. :) My only suggestion would be to make it more immediately obvious that the pan's counter was going down. Although there was a big master timer at the top of the game, perhaps having one directly above the pan that only counts down from 10 would've been helpful! But in the grand scheme of building a game in 72 hours, I understand how that could've been a stretch goal. Awesome entry!!! Lastly -- and I hate to do this -- but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 5 17:38:56 | 9m 21s | Another one bites the dust | ♥ 1 | Wow, this game is awesome. You've made me so curious about the lore of this character & world now! I also love your music choices and how the music swells at some point. My main pieces of feedback: (1) the jump mechanic was a bit iffy. I often couldn't make it onto a platform which felt a bit frustrating (2) On the far right of the map, being able to walk into it past the wall made it seem like there was another section. Otherwise, this was an awesome game. :) Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 5 17:59:43 | 20m 47s | SALARYMEN CHALLENGE | ♥ 1 | Let me start off by saying that this game was so freaking funny. The dialogue, the characters -- I could play an entire game with just this salaryman character, haha. My main pieces of feedback: (1) As other raters have noted, it wasn't immediately obvious that you were moving through 10 phases before getting to the boss. I think it's because the progress tracker looks like a health bar. (2) I think that the boss was probably a little too easy to beat! (3) It would've been cool to incorporate some sort of platforming element to make it more challenging / fun to get the items. But, considering that we only had 72 hours, I understand how this was probably way out-of-scope. Otherwise, this game honestly made me crack a smile, and I really enjoyed the characters / dialogue. :) Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 6 01:00:50 | 7h 01m | Fatal Desolation | ♥ 2 | Mood and audio are absolutely a 5. This game creeped me *out*, and I mean that in the best way possible. I also loved how you guys interpreted the theme; it felt very cohesive with the world that you've built and didn't feel forced at all. My main piece of feedback would be that the controls became a little frustrating as at some point, I was basically just a relatively slow ball bouncing inside of a room. More ability to control my movement would've been great. Otherwise, this game is such a masterpiece in terms of art direction! Great entry!! |
| Oct 6 01:08:06 | 7m 16s | Every 10 seconds color will be changed | ♥ 1 | Super cute game. :) Love the bunny jumping animation. And the blood splatter when you jump off was shocking to say the least, haha! I could see this game turning into a really cool musical game where each platform corresponds to a note in the song! I agree with @gonzalol that hints on where the next platforms would've been great! Overall, it was a fun, simple game, and I enjoyed playing :) Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 6 01:24:19 | 16m 13s | Cursed Kingdom | ♥ 1 | This game is so fun!! It's like chess but prettier, with cool sound effects, and a storyline, haha. I also really liked the "undo" button. I agree with other commenters that spreading out the instructions more would've been cool. Additionally, I didn't quite understand how the square availability worked. There were many times where I expected to have a green square open after placing down a building but it wasn't. Those moments were a bit frustrating. That being said, overall, I really enjoyed the experience; it's one of the only games I attempted to finish from beginning to end. Great job!! Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 6 01:56:02 | 31m 43s | Shutter Chaos | ♥ 1 | Hehe, this game is so funny, I loved it so much!! So goofy and fun. It's quite simple but it knows exactly what it is and does it perfectly. I have no feedback, honestly. For what it is, it's perfect! Also – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 6 02:03:45 | 7m 43s | Fast Food In10sifies | ♥ 1 | Honestly, this might be one of my favorite games of the jam. I can't believe it isn't higher up in the rankings right now. It's so much fun (I kept playing until I got to 100, haha). My one piece of feedback is that it doesn't display any sort of score / performance at the end. Simply being able to see how many burgers I was able to get through at the end would've been really motivating / cool / kept me coming back. Oh, also, I struggled to find peperoni :,) I was expecting to find the red, cured meat not the peppers, haha. Otherwise, I adore this game and really hope it gets more visibility. Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :) |
| Oct 7 04:22:25 | 26h 18m | Bobo's Happiness Factory | ♥ 1 | Wow, this game was so cool. I think the wrapping mechanic was pretty interesting; I actually discovered after a while that it's easier to do with my trackpad, haha! It was also so creepy (in a good way) to see the clown's face go from happy to angry; I was half expecting some super creepy / scary jumpscare to happen when I lost. In that way, I think the mood was really awesome. My only piece of feedback: Because I was so focused on not pissing off the clown, I didn't end up looking at any of the dialogue; my eyes were primarily focused in the top-center of the screen because that's where the wrapping took place, and it would've taken too much time / effort to keep shifting my eyes down. To ensure that players are reading the commentary, perhaps, (1) the dialogue box could be replaced to the top-left instead (2) there could be a speech bubble above the clown's head. In the grand scheme of things, pretty minor concerns :) Amazing game!! Also, and I hate to do this, but I'd appreciate if you could rate my game as well! :) https://ldj.am/$303168 It's our first ever Ludum Dare, and we want to get all the feedback / ratings we can get so that we can continue to improve. Any help would be great! :) |
| Oct 7 07:54:51 | 3h 32m | Boood night | ♥ 2 | This game is so cute!! I love the art style so much, and the ghost's walking animation made me chuckle. I like how you used the 10 seconds theme; it created an element of suspense that made it really fun. Also, the music / SFX choices were pretty good. In terms of constructive feedback, I agree with a lot of comments by shumarie! Otherwise, great entry :) Congratulations. Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game as well! :D Any feedback would be much appreciated. :) |
| Oct 7 08:03:10 | 8m 19s | #1 Button Presser | ♥ 5 | Wowow, game-ception, haha. Really interesting!! Admittedly, I wasn't that good at the asteroid game but this was still a really interesting entry :) Also, I love the voices. I think my only piece of feedback would be to switch the "shoot" mechanic to be a key, such as the enter key; it was a bit difficult switching back and forth between the mouse and the key. Otherwise, really unique entry!! Great job. Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be wonderful. |
| Oct 7 08:08:53 | 5m 43s | Office Madness | ♥ 2 | Haha, this game was so charming :) Love the "Hey" sound and how it was on beat with the BG music time to time. Simple but perfect for what it was. It's a great entry; congratulations :) Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be awesome. |
| Oct 7 08:19:32 | 10m 39s | Monkey Bu$iness | ♥ 2 | This game is so charming! :) The buy / sell mechanism was really fun and trying to multi-task was surprisingly difficult. I also love the art for Don Aper and the music choices as well. My only piece of feedback is that sometimes that Z (Buy) button was pretty slow / delayed. Though, that might be because I was playing on browser? Not sure. In any case, this was a great entry. Congratulations :) Lastly, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game as well! Any feedback would be very welcomehttps://ldj.am/$303168 |
| Oct 8 06:14:01 | 21h 54m | The decasecond | ♥ 1 | Just played the game-- this is probably the most unique take on the theme I've seen so far! I can also see this being a really fun Jackbox game :) My main piece of feedback is that the prompts weren't super clear. Prompts like "You're talking to someone who's afraid of spiders, and you want to scare them" were very straightforward & easy to understand. But prompts like "You have to do one thing for the rest of your life." weren't as clear; if the entire goal is to come up with fake facts, then this prompt doesn't actually invite me to do that. One person's answer to this question was "Every 10 seconds, I make a million dollars." That's not a fact but there was really no other way to answer that prompt. Not sure if I'm making sense, haha. In any case, I understand the concept, and I think that this would be a really cool idea for a party game :) I would totally play something like this with friends. Great entry! |
| Oct 8 06:38:21 | 24m 20s | DECAPHASE | ♥ 1 | Hi, I came from the 3 Underrated Games post! :) Wow, this game was so cool. Love the graphics and the music; there's a really high degree of polish to this. As other commenters have noted, this is one of those games that you keep coming back to again and again so you can try and get a higher level each time. That's, in my opinion, a mark of a well-made game, especially for a game jam. In terms of feedback: 1. I struggled seemingly more than other commenters to figure out how the UI works; I think if the GUI were a lot bigger, it would've been easier to notice & understand. I also think that the size that it is now could potentially bring up accessibility concerns. 2. I agree with a lot of trouv's comments about making it more clear how exactly the level / difficulty is scaling. Otherwise, wonderful entry. Congratulations :) |
| Oct 8 06:56:50 | 18m 29s | The First Fire | ♥ 1 | Hi, I came from the "3 Underrated Games" post! :) Wow, I loved this game. Even though this is a tiny, pixel-art game, I actually felt shivers go down my spine the first few times I got eaten by the wolf. Later on, when I finally realized that you're supposed to stay near the fire, I felt very tense & nervous with the wolf staring right at me. In short, it's really amazing how effectively you've created mood with such a simple art style. My two main pieces of feedback: 1. The icons below the fire weren't very clear as to what they were. 2. Some kind of visual indication that you've over-fed the fire would've been great. Currently, it's not clear, and there wasn't a strong noticeable difference when I kept feeding the fire vs. when I kept it at a moderate level (which sort of defeats the purpose of that mechanic). Lastly, not feedback but an idea: it would've been cool for the sun to "set" so that a few seconds before the night came, you could see the sky change color. I think it could've contributed to the mood while also giving players a small signal that they need to hurry up. Otherwise, this was a fantastic entry. It's simple but very well-executed, and I'm so amazed, again, by the mood here. Congratulations :) Also, I'd really appreciate if you could play my game as well! Any feedback would be much appreciated. |
| Oct 8 07:38:20 | 41m 30s | Love is Legal: Speed Dating For Criminals | ♥ 1 | Hi, I came from the "3 Underrates Games post" :) This game was very cute. Love the art style and the different facial expressions. The gameplay was super interesting as well; I love how you blended memory games and dating sims! I kept playing until I could go on a date with someone which is as good of a compliment as I could give any game dev (READ: I keep wanting to play your game). In terms of feedback: 1. Maybe I'm just slow but I didn't really understand what the + and - signs meant. 2. I agree with a previous commenter that showing all response options would be nice so that the player isn't stressfully shifting through everything. 3. It took a few tries before I actually figured out what was going on so a more guided tutorial would've been really helpful. All that being said, for having been made in 72 hours, this is a fantastic entry. Congratulations :) Also, I'd appreciate if you could rate my game as well! Any feedback would be much appreciated. |
| Oct 8 18:08:15 | 10h 29m | CRAVE | ♥ 2 | Hi, I came from the "3 Underrated Games" post! This game was so cute!! The idea of an oblivious character who only wants to snack while everyone is trying to kill him is so charming, haha. I could totally see this being fleshed out into a whole story arc :) It was also fun going around seeing what different abilities I could get by "eating" other creatures; similar to Kirby in that sense! I found myself going back a few times to see what the different powers would be, haha. In terms of feedback, I think a little bit more art / sound would've gone a long way! Maybe some character animations, background music; something to make the world feel more engaging. That being said, these are all minor concerns in the grand scheme of things. Congratulations on making this in 72 hours :) Also if you could rate my game as well, that'd be amazing; any feedback would be much appreciate! |
| Oct 12 07:16:21 | 85h 08m | 10s To Decide | ♥ 1 | Hey! :) It's been a while but am from the "3 Underrated Games" post. This game is awesome, especially for a first game jam. Conceptually, everything is there, and I think it's actually really impressive how it was still fun to play despite being relatively low-fid. One suggestion I'd give is to break down the tutorial a little bit more (show tooltips / instructions as player plays the game); we struggled with this in our game, too, haha. In any case, this was awesome. Congratulations :) Thanks again for rating my game. |
| Oct 12 07:36:42 | 20m 21s | Base Clock | ♥ 2 | Wow, this game is so far one of the best I've played so far. I loved how you applied the theme here. It's so cool how you're basically creating your own checkpoints in this game. I had to physically stop myself from playing because I had other things I had to get to, haha (couldn't make the jump for one of the orbs rip). I also loved your audio / sound effect choices; everything felt so bouncy, in the best way possible. I would totally play this if it were a more fleshed out game. One piece of feedback is to include a permanent UI element that lets you know how many orbs you have; at some point, I definitely forgot how many I had, haha. In the grand scheme of things though, that's pretty minor, and this was a fabulous entry. Definitely deserves more ratings. Congratulations :) Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :) |
| Oct 12 07:45:53 | 9m 11s | 10 Seconds To Annoyance | ♥ 1 | I've rated a lot of games so far, and this is one of the few that made me crack a big smile while playing-- and the first to do so before the game even started LOL. Love the intro screen, love (and also hate) the mute mechanic, platforming was annoyingly fun, and just the right amount of troll-y. Really solid entry. 5/5 in terms of humor, LOL. Congratulations on a great entry :) Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D |
| Oct 12 08:12:11 | 26m 18s | Sub-scured | ♥ 2 | It's been a hot minute, but I'm from the "3 Underrated Games" post :) Man, I kept playing to try to beat your high score but I only got up to three, haha! This was super cool. I saw a few comments say that it was too difficult but I disagree; I think it was just enough to make it fun & interesting. I really enjoyed navigating around the world you guys built & it was super satisfying to get better at steering every time I restarted the game. I also loved the way the submarine moved, the artistic direction (so cool how things phase in and out of clarity), and the sound. One suggestion would be to make the bombs a different color. Might make it ever so slightly easier to differentiate them against the background. Otherwise, fantastic entry, congratulations :) Lastly, and I hate to do this, but I wanted to plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D |
| Oct 12 09:29:20 | 1h 17m | Sweet Seconds | ♥ 1 | (It's been a hot minute but I'm from the "3 Underrated Games" post!) It's 2:25 AM. I have work tomorrow. And I literally just stayed up all night to get to Level 10. I have to say, this is one of the best games I've played so far. It's so, so fun and the way it starts off slow and chill then devolves into chaos is so perfect. When I finally completely Level 10, it felt like the back of my brain was melting but in the best way possible. Only a game with terrific art, sound, and game design would've compelled me to stay up for so long. I also love all the little touches like the way the donuts bounce a little when you apply frosting on them. My only suggestion: for the last two levels, the music change was a bit jarring and almost a little creepy, haha. I kind of missed the original bg music. But in the grand scheme of things, that'd pretty minor; as it is, this was exceptional for a game jam. Congratulations. :) Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D |
