| Oct 3 07:08:30 | Merge Soldier | ♥ 1 | Very cool interpretation of the theme, and a brain buster. Good job! | |
| Oct 3 07:11:50 | 3m 20s | Bubble Trouble | ♥ 1 | This games looks and feels amazing. If only there was a bit more visual feedback, but I understand given the short time limit. It's a tough game to beat, but fun! |
| Oct 3 07:25:28 | 13m 38s | New Apartment | ♥ 1 | Hey good job with this game, it feels very complete. I did get quite frustrated, but not cause of the game, just at my own incompetence haha. It's quite a brain burner! The audio and graphics are solid. Good job! |
| Oct 4 01:05:26 | 17h 39m | Nice Park! | ♥ 2 | Fantastic game, feels very complete and satisfying to play. I love how you gave no penalty for hitting other cars, because you recognize ramming things is the secondary core of the game! |
| Oct 4 01:35:12 | 29m 46s | A Little Bag Story | ♥ 1 | Everyone has gushed about your professional looking art, and for good reason. I also love the visual clarity and how much it all pops. It's easy to "get" the game and I can tell you prioritised player comfort. For the gripes, which are minor, I just wish there was more indication of what the next fight was, and I also was missing more interaction / synergies between the items. But that says more about how solid this game was that those are the worst things I can say; they can be for the next iterations. Overall a fantastic job! |
| Oct 4 01:39:29 | 4m 17s | Running out of space | ♥ 1 | "360 no scope - the game." Very fun, great game feel. I like your interpretation of the theme. A lot of little fun minutiae that tells me you have an eye for details. Very solid for your first Ludum Dare, keep it up! |
| Oct 4 01:58:23 | 18m 54s | Conways Crowded Farm | ♥ 1 | Very innovative and ambitious idea. While I can see you wanted to do more, I also see a lot of good things in here already. A fun little (but potentially deep) puzzle. As someone who usually doesn't get all his ideas implemented due to overscoping, don't let it discourage you - the core of what you have is what makes the game good, not the bells and whistles. Focus on that and get to the heart of what makes the idea stand on its own. (Plus you can add to the game later; there are jams that let you work on and submit your unfinished projects, for example.) To improve what you have, I would suggest focusing on more user experience (e.g. hovering over each element shows you how it works, or having shortcuts so there's less moving the mouse back and forth), and very importantly, teaching people through gradual progression. Those are the hardest part of making an innovative idea because there's no pre-existing familiarity, so it's really on you to get the idea across. I hope this is constructive feedback. Ultimately, even if you don't feel like it, you did a good job with this game :) |
| Oct 4 02:01:16 | 2m 53s | BIT Busters : Virus Warfare | ♥ 0 | It looks very interesting from the screenshots, so I hope (after getting some sleep) you will come back and export the game so we can play! |
| Oct 4 02:16:43 | 15m 27s | Pixel Piles | ♥ 4 | First, super innovative experience yet did not take much effort to understand at all thanks to the tutorial. Managing to get a Tetris line, on the other hand... I'm sure you already got feedback about how it is really hard for a jam game - I think it's about how manipulating blocks requires you to be on the sides, which conflicts with the nature of needing to be where you want the block to be. Yet I can't think of a way to change it without fundamentally changing the game. Being difficult is not the same as being bad; maybe it is the player who needs to keep up. The thing is, I can't complain about the graphics and audio, and the game feels fantastic to interact with, so I don't mind going back and playing for a bit to try to beat it! The game frustrates with its difficulty yet taunts the players to come back to conquer the mountain, and all the while making them feel good with solid UX and game feel, while they're working to get that tiny bit of progression in their own skills. And that, I think is a great achievement. |
| Oct 4 03:21:12 | 1h 04m | Grid Island | ♥ 1 | I am glad I came over from your comment on our game. The games we made are similar in concept yet spawned very different strategies! Great puzzle and chill vibes, with a healthy amount of depth in decisions. I love the art and level of polish on everything. |
| Oct 4 03:29:38 | 8m 26s | Craftship Ltd. | ♥ 2 | Nice puzzle at the core. Was a bit unclear but once I started it clicked quickly. The RNG tile generation is a bit mean but it makes for some interesting decisions. Good job on the game! |
| Oct 4 03:38:54 | 9m 16s | Botpourri's Space Chase | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game. So much game feel and juice. Your take on exploration is on point, and coherent with the theme. It took me a while to get everything (and I'm still not sure if I do get all the mechanics), but it keeps me coming back :) Very addictive. |
| Oct 4 22:56:43 | 19h 17m | Survivor Island | ♥ 1 | Nice entry, I think it has a lot of potential. I wish the weapon, particularly sword swinging, were a bit more polished, since it is the one thing you do the most in this game. If the core is satisfying, the game will be greatly enhanced, and everything else is a bonus. Overall great job for a solo jam! |
| Oct 5 13:01:03 | 14h 04m | The King is Watching | ♥ 3 | One of the best games I've seen this jam, it is no small feat to produce such a polished game that is so engaging in the time given. Your team should be proud. |
| Oct 6 02:00:20 | 12h 59m | Introvertigo | ♥ 5 | Came from Rincs' stream, glad I did cause what an awesome premise. I like unique conversational games and as an introvert the theme is perfect. And I LOVE the art, really made me feel like I was in that uncomfortable situation trying to get out. Fantastic job! |
| Oct 6 02:22:54 | 22m 34s | Rafty Crab | ♥ 1 | The bravery to go for a multiplayer game in a jam is noted. Awesome fun to play while watching a stream haha. And the audio, fantastic! |
| Oct 7 15:34:59 | 37h 12m | Bit Golf | ♥ 2 | I got lost playing this game for so long! What a unique and fun game. Great job! |
| Oct 8 10:29:29 | 18h 54m | Wall Wizard | ♥ 1 | Lovely game! I had a lot of fun playing it, which is as much as one can ask for in a jam game. Audio and graphics are very solid. Great job! |
