Oct 3 14:35:27 Cute Little Spider ♥ 1 Yea, this is total my aesthetic of game. Loved the art and sound. Wanted a little more humour, but gameplay was decent enough. It was kinda like a rhythm game without the rhythm. Great work 🎱
Oct 5 08:40:35 42h 05m Lab Rat ♥ 1 So this could be a full on puzzle game with a bit of expansion. I really liked the premise and the main mechanic. The character is as cute as a button and everything made sense right off the bat. I played the game in a more top down view which made things 10x better. That should have probably been the default view. And a quick retry button would have helped. Also when I'd messed up a little it would have been nice for random colors to come out instead of blanks. But those are only minor gripes as I really enjoyed it. Art and sound were great. Gameplay was great. All in all a fine entry. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 5 09:18:07 37m 32s LOve FInder ♥ 4 That was fun. And it got me thinking you could get really nuanced with the likes/dislikes. Having to weed out the exact combos of dislikes vs likes. It looks great, props to the artist. Would have liked to have a progress bar for the 10 seconds as I kept clicking during a changeover causing confusion over who I'd clicked on. But really the biggest complaint I have is that I couldn't pet the cat!!!! I mean come on, let me pet the cat. Never the less 'tis a great entry. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 5 09:44:31 26m 24s INTRUSIVE ♥ 2 Yea, this is great. I mean it capture that terror of running out of time perfectly. I tried playing on trackpad at first which was impossible, but once I dug out a mouse it was perfectly playable. The sense of foreboding was immense, even before any of the tasks started. I think that was down to the audio. I had my headphones on and that driving bass was really hitting an anxiety nerve. Only gripe would have been length, but that can be forgiven as it's the bane of all Ludum Dare entries. Graphics were great, and the visual effect added an extra life and ominous vibrancy to them. It all fitted perfectly with the overall ambience of the game. Great stuff 🎱
Oct 18 08:50:34 311h 06m Manta Fighter ♥ 1 I destroyed the core. I like the graphics. The controls a unusual but manageable. Audio got a little annoying. I would have liked some sort of radar or targeting system as I kept losing my bearings. Despite that the game made me want to finish it so that's a win in my book. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 19 13:27:17 28h 36m Roboten ♥ 1 Great idea. It's an excellent fit for the theme. It's a really frustrating game having to wait for those timers when you mess up, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I think a traditional countdown timer would have been better than a wall of death as you could catch up lost time later in the level. All round though I enjoyed it a lot. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 08:51:49 19h 24m Maudits FantΓ΄mes / Cursed Ghosts ♥ 0 This is an interesting take on the theme. It's basically a memory game, like those chimpanzee experiments to test working memory. The Pac-Man theme was a nice touch, and worked well with what you are trying to achieve i.e. leave the ghosts alone when multi-coloured and grab when uniform, as that's exactly how Pac-Man works. Having Pac-Man as a grabber from a graber-machine was also inspired, great idea. The two things I wasn't too keen on were the oblique grid with vertical tiles, as it made movement a little confusing. And the music started to get to me after a while. I think my working memory is not that great though as I could only reach level 4. Not sure I can add any suggestions for improvements as everything seems tight in a mechanics sense. Great entry. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 14:38:52 5h 47m Fall Apart ♥ 2 I was so close. I got to less than a minute until arrival. It's a fun idea. All the way through it felt like fighting a losing battle, which is the entire point. It looks really good. It had that 90s point'n'click feel to the graphics which gave it a lot of charm. Not really got a bad thing to say about it really. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 14:50:47 11m 55s miam ♥ 1 Yea, this is top notch. It's pretty much a full finished web game. Great work for 72 hours. Props to whoever did the graphics and audio. And I had no bugs or glitches so big props to the programmer as well πŸ‘ Not really got anything constructive to add as it's perfectly fine as is. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 15:01:23 10m 36s Find the Rocket ♥ 0 Nice game. And was a lot of fun to play. Is there actually a rocket? I ran around for 6 minutes but never saw one. There were a couple of glitches, like enemies getting stuck on each other, but nothing game breaking. Graphics are great, and the audio had my had bobbing away. Excellent entry. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 15:20:29 19m 06s Are We There Yet? ♥ 2 Haha! I loved it. As the proud parent of a 5 year old I can relate to this sooo much. Graphics, great. Audio, top notch. Gameplay, brilliantly frustrating. All the QTE events worked great. Yea, it's Desert Bus Simulator on steroids. Great work guys. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 22:26:00 7h 05m 10 Seconds To Annoyance ♥ 1 That was.. annoying. You had me chuckling from the off. I like that it's not just a troll game and is actually a playable experience. Can't add more than others have said so I just say great entry. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 22:45:30 19m 30s Rabbit Simulator ♥ 1 W-w-what did I just play. Whatever it was I'm here for it. I'm not even sure how to critique it. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 23:07:46 22m 16s Terra Nova ♥ 1 I won. Yay! It got a bit hectic in parts and I couldn't quite tell what was going on at those bits. But it was pretty intuitive for the most part. I like the art style a lot. The Liches head wiggle had me chuckling. Good stuff 🎱
Oct 20 23:14:00 6m 14s unbeLEAFable ♥ 1 The graphics in this are exactly the kind of style I love in games. In fact the whole thing is quite polished. I'd like to see a version of this that is a little more chilled out. I felt like I couldn't relax and enjoy my surroundings. Having said that it does work as a game, and fits the theme so I'd have to say an all round great entry. Good stuff 🎱
