| Oct 14 02:08:49 | Norton | ♥ 1 | Woooow, super nice game ! Love the graphics, although they're a bit unreadable at times and my PC EXPLODED booting up the game (it crashed the first time even). The same on restart. Nice music as well even though at some point it just... stops lol. The sound effects were cool too. Didn't quite get what to do at first, and I managed to softlock myself 2 times lmao. I even killed the boss without knowing at first for some reason it seems ? Idk. The gameplay is nice as well, although I had a bit of problem with the controls, and especially the location of the character on the platform heavy parts. I really like the trojan with the bugs inside, it was a neat design, and the boss was cool too although a bit too easy for me. Once you know where to go, it's fast enough to complete the game, probably under 2 minutes, which is nice if you get softlocked, since you can just skim through the ennemies. I kinda wish they respawned when you died without saving, but it's fine like that especially if you're stuck with them lol. I REALLY wish the falling platforms respawned tho, it was hard to know where to go sometimes, and sometimes even impossible (I think doing the Wifi second softlocked me, not sure tho. Nice fan/glider mechanic as well. Overall a really nice game, veeeery impressive especially for a COMPO ! | |
| Oct 17 23:48:58 | 93h 40m | Cavin' | ♥ 1 | Ayyy, what a charming game ! Glad to see other platformers, this game is REALLY good. The wall jump mechanic feels a bit weird the first 30 seconds lol but it's really well implemented and easy to use once you figure out how to. Love the simple graphics and the cutscenes, the pixelart is really nice and chara designs too, sad we got to see so little lore behind the characters but really nice, especially for 3 days wow. I LOVE the music as well, it fits really nicely, and the sound effects are cool too. The gameplay and level design are really cool, and I like the fact that it's possible to skip to the rightmost guy (when he gets back at camp) from jumping under him and walljumping. Even though it took me 3 tries to get everyone (didn't find the way to the access to the top part of the game at first, and died to the timer the second time lol), it didn't feel boring to replay the whole thing. Lovely cutscenes as well, with funny dialogues too from the characters ! I wish there had been a layout/minimap of the level somewhere (with like war fog at places you haven't gone to) cause it took me a while to figure out where the 2 last guys were (on top), but I guess this makes sense since this is a cave it lol. That's what they get from not digging aeration vents to the surface lol, humidity really destroyed the cave (and the main character lmao, I love the intro cutscene it's so silly and does a nice job to put the amtosphere of the game, which gets not that silly at the end when you fail to save everyone and feel the weight of your actions on your shoulders). I think I got all the endings (there are 4 is that right ?), love the gory blood and the hand sticking out when you fail to go back in time to the camp lmfao. I hope people speedrun the game, it looks like it'd be really fun to do so ! |
| Oct 18 00:16:51 | 27m 53s | Spaceout | ♥ 1 | Nice game ! Really nice take on the original concept, with multiple asteroids and all. THe first 3 levels were super easy but the last one is very interesting with the red/blue vortexes being EVERYWHERE, and all the blocks that change your characteristics, it got challenging at this point which is nice. Nice music as well (even though it's not to be graded lol), and the graphics were really nice, I don't know how much you were involved in the post processing but you made it look good (the planet was a but weird but the rest of the graphics were nice). I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE HUMOR. Like actually. The mispronouncing of the name I had written byt absolutely EVERYONE including in the ending was so fucking funny, and the way this was written was hilarious to me. Really nice game, I didn't expect it to be that good especially seing the AI graphics at first (on second thoughts for LD AI graphics actually are nice for devs who have no idea how to art lol). I hope your game is gonna get 20 rating because it's honestly really fun ! |
| Oct 18 00:23:07 | 6m 16s | Limited Spaces | ♥ 0 | Well, I certainly didn't know what to expect. AND I CERTAINLY DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO BE THIS HARD LMAO ! Took me a while to figure out how to move everything, but in the end it was suprisingly fun to try to figure out which way the ship was facing. The simple graphics were fitting enough, it would've been more confusing to have more elaborate ones in my opinion. Fun game, reminds me of the old .io game I used to play as a kid (agar.io and all) Glad to see that someone had the same idea as me (as in limited spaces), but executed it absolutely differently ! |
| Oct 18 00:44:02 | 20m 55s | Merge Soldier | ♥ 1 | Got up to level 21 ! Very fun game, I love the take on the tower defense genre, at first I had no clue wtf was going but the merge mechanic became clearer and clearer as the game progressed. The update thing is broken though, choosing always the damage update is the only good choice (resisting one more hit grants 1 more damage per unit, while dealing 1 more damage grants 1 more damage per life per soldier (which is enormous), up to infinity for archers. I agree with the others, a little more explaining would be nice, especially a tutorial level like Minibetrayal said. The graphics were enough as well, and the UI was ok to understand (I didn't notice the stats of the units on the left though lol). There were some bugs, especially Restart was making it impossible to play the game again, and at some point on the powerup selection screen the game still continued to play for some reason ? But they weren't horrible and weren't really annoying. Nice game ! I enjoyed playing it. It'd be nice to have a more complete version if you plan on continuing it ! |
| Oct 18 01:04:05 | 20m 03s | Orbit | ♥ 0 | Survived 4min and 08s! THIS GAME IS SO FUN ?? Like actually ? The graphics are really clean (even though they're just circles) and the sound effets are cool as well. I like how bullet-hellish the game become at the end, in my opinion the very slow focus mode when shooting was a bit of a hindrance and made avoiding bullets near the end almost impossible. Glad to see a game made on Pico-8 for this Ludum Dare ! Really fitting with the theme haha, you sure had limited space when coding this. I don't know if this was an inspiration, probably not, but this REALLY reminds of the of game "Ghost Mayoker" that has a similar principle (you are a ball, shooting bullets on an orbit). In fact, the way your player character move is exactly the same (except that there is no focus mode and you have the same speed when you shoot, and you can "flip sides" of the orbit kinda. The ennemies don't shoot projectiles however, and you have to protect your center https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-sbXCioMdE It's uncanny how similar the 2 games look, but the gameplay is still pretty different, as your game has a very nice bullet hell aspect to it ! A funny coincidence how close the 2 games are, both of you basically had the same idea lmao ! I hope you can continue working on it and add more ennemy types/shot patterns, cause playing this is a BLAST honestly, I'd definitely play a version with more content/replayability. Probably the best game out of the 5 I've tested so far ! |
| Oct 18 01:22:13 | 18m 08s | Align The Sky | ♥ 1 | HAHAHHAHA THE OH MY FUCKING GOD KILLED ME LMFAOOO Nice game, I was surprised by the nice voice acting (expecially the oh my fucking god). The password though haha, had to look up the solution... Without the "its" at the start I would've gotten it right... Very short but very funny game, the lobster on the parachute at the end lmfao ! The graphics were nice, I liked the character, he reminded me a lot of Funamusea/Okegom/Deep Sea Prisoner's pixelartstyle for some reason, idk if she was an inspiration for you, maybe given the water/ocean themes ? I have no clue if this is a baloon or a submarine lol, but with the rain it looks more like a baloon. Nice audio ! The game was a bit buggy lol, especially the ladder, but I managed to finish it ! It's possible to to back to the rotating wheel at the start at the exact same moment as the OH GOD OH FUCK, so it looks like the character got eaten lmaooo Good game ! |
| Oct 18 01:33:11 | 10m 58s | Which Cup Fills First | ♥ 0 | Well that's certainly a unique game ! I miserably failed the third puzzle the first time lol. It might've been nice being able not to redo the whole level when you fail. Nice audio ! The graphics were very simple but pleasing to look at, and albeit very simple it was a very soothing experience to me with the audio. The pixel water simulation is pretty cool ! It get kinda laggy when there are too much pixels though (at least on web haven't tested the downloadable one). I guess you used a form of cellular automaton to move the water, is that right ? Good job of you to have made this in only 6 hours ! |
| Oct 18 02:21:37 | 48m 26s | Limited Brake | ♥ 0 | LMAO MIKU IN A TRASH CAN Nice game ! Feels a little bit slow and hard to control (even with the braking and drifting) however. I like the pixelart graphics, the sprites are really well done (especially Miku in the trash can), and the art of the girl as well is nicely done, with different styles so I wonder if other people than you worked on the project as it isn't written. The music was really cool as well, nice choice of tracks. The story is fun, but you should probably have sent the script to someone so they could proofread it, because calling someone "sweaty" instead of "sweety" is kind of an insult lmao. The story was funny, especially the ending. Is there any more story after you ||run over the guy and the girl goes like "I know places with many more people to run over. Is the girl real, or just him being completely crazy so he imagines her ? I kinda get the feeling it is the latter. Nice story yeah, I'm curious about the rest now lol.|| The arcade mode is fun, getting the letters is nice and murdering pedestrians with no remorse as well lol. Love the fact that if you run over the dog you restart, cause doggy clearly deserves life and pedestrians do not (wait whaat??). |
| Oct 18 02:37:01 | 15m 24s | Mechanizyn | ♥ 2 | Nice concept ! The fly moved nicely, although it was a bit illogical to me that it falls at constant speed, quite fast, immediately as you stop pressing the space key (I think it should start falling very slowly, then increase in speed as time passes. It would make more sense to me. The graphics were REALLY good, especially the fly, I can see you are a skilled artist. Did you draw then on a tablet, or did you draw them on paper and scan them ? The buzzing sound was nice as well. I can see you had more levels planned, it's a shame you didn't have the time to make them before the deadline, I would've liked to play a fuller game (as for now it is only like 15 seconds long sadly). Good luck on doing a full version, if you want to ! |
| Oct 18 19:23:34 | 16h 46m | Schrödinger's Cat: The Game | ♥ 0 | Nice use of the theme ! I saw from your other comment that you wanted to use it as "limited space" of the box, but I think it fits better as "limited SPACE" as in SPACEbar presses, you might've done that accidentally but it works ! Double use of the theme you got there haha The graphics were nice to look at, but as a pixelartist, pleaaaase try to keep you pixel size consistent, the pixels that made up the walls and the rest were twice bigger than those of the cat so it looked a bit off to me (might just be me though). I like your pixelart though, while the walk of the alive cat was rather jonky, I really liked the dead cat's design for some reason. Good job on the UI, it was simple and intuitive ! I wish you could control the cat with the arrow keys as well, it makes no sense to me to be able to move through the menus with the arrow keys but not being able to move the cat with them. I think the dimension switch animation could've been made faster, here it's like a little less than one second, which kinda breaks the flow of your walking and you don't really know where you end up. My main critique is the level design. I think the puzzles were waaaaay too easy, you just... walk till you see a wall, switch, walk again, switch... There's nothing that makes you need to think upfront in which order you have to go through the switches (like keys that open doors, one way passages, traps to disable with one form of the cat etc...), and you often end up with 2 switches left, which is a shame because if makes the levels way too easy. I suggest you test the levels more and try to make a precise path that needs to be taken, and make it harder to figure out which is the way to go, with putting decoy paths and all. The level that is the most fun to play in my opinion is level 2 (if I remember correctly) in which you have to take the bottom path, you actually have to think about your path before you take it. This would've made the game much more interesting to play in my opinion. Pretty nice for a second game, good job on the UI and presentation, most games don't have nice UIs like that ! |
| Oct 18 19:29:34 | 6m 00s | One Step Further | ♥ 0 | Nice idea, I really loved the graphics and all the little animations for the clouds, sisyphus and the ball ! There isn't much gameplay however, it's basically a rhythm game in which you press a button every 4 seconds lol, but the game is rather short so that's not much of the problem, since the focus is clearly on the story telling and on the deception of the player's expectations. Maybe try to improve the clicking mechanic, like make it go faster and faster as Sisyphus goes faster ? One must imagine Sisyphus happy... |
| Oct 18 19:54:17 | 24m 43s | Pineapple Burger Pizza | ♥ 1 | Really nice game ! The concept reminds me a lot of backpack hero, but it's still it's own thing which is really nice. The graphics were crude but charming (expect when the guy open his mouth and it's black, god is that terrifying lmao), and some, like the squid, the pineapple and the fish especially are actually pretty nicely drawn ! I love the concept, in which different elements add different flavors, with some adding multiple so you really have to think how you are gonna put them on the pizza. I wish there were a bit more levels tho, but impressive game for a COMPO ! Love the puzzles, even though some were a bit easy in my opinion, and since they cycle in the end you just know them by heart. Very nice implementation of the theme ! I wish the tutorial explained more step by step instead of just throwing everything at you though (like you just have to make a pizza and the game guides every one of your move, click on that, rotate with R, ccw with shift R, C to customer etc... You made nice design choices, not showing the P to play button at first, and the game was simple to understand (except for the tutorial lol). PLEASE tell me I'm not the only one who thought pineapple gave +1 in salt for the longest time lmfaoooo |
| Oct 18 20:24:44 | 30m 27s | Da 'Lil Patch | ♥ 0 | I really like the concept of this game and your interpretation of the theme ! It's sooooooo complicated though, and so complex, but very interesting ! I really like the illumination mechanic with taller plants shading lower ones depending on the direction of the sun, it's a neat concept (took me a while to understand it tho). Looots of texts everywhere, it's kinda scary actually, but the UI is pretty nice still. It's sad in my opinion that you can't see the score at all times, you can't really know how you're doing until you click menu. There's no real incentive to get going, and it's scary how much is happening is you press a button lol. Didn't seem like soil variables affected plant growth much, but that's probably me just not noticing. The graphics were nice enough and the sound effects kinda funny. I liked the painting-like background, it looks really nice. Nice idea and execution ! It's way too complex without an actual tutorial though, I think you should add a step by step one with a like scenario in which you're forced to place plants at certain places and click buttons. |
| Oct 19 03:22:32 | 6h 57m | I Hate This Recoil | ♥ 1 | Amazing game ! The concept is executed really well, the graphics are nice, love the ending animation with the ship, and the sound effects are cool. Very funny game lol, especially the ending(s), and each new mode adds a challenge, which is really cool ! The puzzles were very nicely design, and were never boring or too hard (or too easy). The Ludum Dare 54.00 thing is SO smart of an idea like omg ! One of the best games of the jam, probably the best in my opinion |
| Oct 20 19:08:31 | 39h 45m | Tetradom | ♥ 1 | The greatest game of the Jam for me ! Amazing idea, amazing execution, the pixelart is super nice, the music a bit repetitive but it doesn't get old even after 4 retries lmao, and the gameplay is super fun ! Very nicely balanced, you have to build farms and houses to gain more money, but also build buildings that build soldiers and all else your buildings get destroyed and you gain nothing... I managed to get to night 20 on my fourth try, wow this game is really really fun and very replayable, like actually ! You have a great gameplay loop, very balanced, very polished, I can't really think of any bad thing in the game, except the bug that makes soldier stuck when they're inside the darkness range lol, I lost a game to that I was mad... Maybe the AI can be frustrating, it seems your soldiers, healers and rangers (and buildings) target buildings/entities at random, which can make your super amazing cool army get destroyed by the darkness because they keep of targeting ennemies SUPER far away instead of the ones that are near them... Still fun to play though and it doesn't happen that often thankfully. If you make a bigger version, I'll DEFINITELY play that ! Now that I think of it, your game has a concept that is similar to clash of clans lol, but is still very different in the execution ! Amazing game |
| Oct 20 19:18:48 | 10m 17s | Floodwater | ♥ 0 | Super nice game ! Loved the concept, the pixelart is cute and well done, the music as well, and theme pretty well implemented (especially since you did it on pico-8 lol). Nice level design as well. Very nice ! |
| Oct 20 19:43:24 | 24m 36s | Packed to the Gills | ♥ 1 | WOOOOOOOoooowwwwwwwww, this game is really polished ! Lovely concept, amazing execution, I love the artstyle and the characters, the music is very cool too ! I wish there were a bit more different levels tho, there practicall only one level with the jellyfish guy that just comes over and over, maybe something with different characters would be cool too ! Like having to chose very fast between sardine's shape and idk another character (even just the jellyfish who can either stand or lay down on the floor would be an interesting concept. Still, amazing game ! Hope you can make a fuller version one day, but this one is already very polished and complete (you even have settings omg, and credits ??? damn) Great lob on this ! |
| Oct 20 19:59:26 | 16m 02s | MY LIL WIZARD | ♥ 0 | Nice game ! It's kind of a mix between Vampire Survivors, Fornite, and Noita lmao. Am I only one for which it's impossible to play because it becomes to laggy ? It's a shame it is that way, cause this is annoying, and I'd really like to test out every wand and not get destroyed by ghosts spawning out of nowhere lol... Looks like you forgot to remove the dead ennemies from a list somewhere and they get checked for collisions idk..? Really cool graphics, music and sound effects (especially the sound effects), the gameplay is cool as hell ! Most wands are shit lol, I wish the poison lasted forever, it could've been the most OP one. Very polished and fun ! Good job on this ! |
| Oct 20 20:11:34 | 12m 08s | Super Pinup Smasher 2000 | ♥ 0 | LMMMMFFFFFFFAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm dead, this is the greatest concept EVER. Those kind of weird (I am required by law to say weird) stripping games but as a LD game, with the theme limited space ? There certainly isn't enough space to fit all the ladies' asses on screen uhhh uhmmmm uhm I mean nice use of the theme yes yes ! Really nice art, I love your style (not accounting for the pinupness and thiccness in your drawings while saying this, you really know how to make girls you cute, especially the faces omg (I like the fairies especially). This feels like a scratch card/ticket but as a stripping game LMFAOOOoooooo, this is amazing. Sounds like someone preferred to spend the LD54 drawing pinups instead of figuring out an amazing concept, pulling an all-nighter, working till they get carpal tunnel syndrome and crying because they missed the deadline by 3 seconds and have to put their game as a JAM instead of COMPO lmao... but who am I to judge you HAVE an amazing concept with this lool. Nice game, I liked playing through it, and thank god the pit of shame exists because god I am really stupid. Love the voicing also lol. EDIT : I just saw you rated 0 games but have like 30 ratings, I'm dead you found the LudumDare glitch to get infinite ratings while rating nothing, 10/10 doctors hate him EDIT 2 : I just looked at your twitter... I am in love with your rendering, shading, poses and the way you draw faces omg ? Great art, you clearly deserve your following lmao, I wonder if you have a sfw accout to follow somewhere, I'd really like to |
| Oct 20 21:04:44 | 53m 10s | Diminutive Dungeon | ♥ 1 | Oh hey, what a super cute and sweet games ! Getting all the upgrades (minus the bag) was a pain in the ass lol, but really cool concept and game ! The randomly generated levels are almost always solvable, you chose every possible block nicely. Cute art, characters, and the upgrades and really well thought of, all of them are useful. I wish dying gave you maluses and the dungeon got tougher as you went down in levels though, but as a COMPO you already have a looot of content ! Very polished too, love how you can play in coop and move both characters with the arrow keys. |
| Oct 20 21:14:15 | 9m 31s | Gavin's Small Backpack | ♥ 1 | Awww, what a cute game ! I love the way the story is told, it's rather linear in the way you have to solve stuff but it doesn't feel like it. Cool art, lovely dialogues and worldbuilding, and nice implementation of the theme too ! ESPACIALLY for a first LD game. |
| Oct 20 21:25:46 | 11m 31s | Pong Begrenzt | ♥ 1 | Ayy, nice idea for a pong-like game ! A solo pong is something I've never seen, and I liked the way things are implemented. The sound design is pretty cool, the graphics are simple but enough, and the theme actually is nicely implemented with the limited space being the shrinking walls (it took me some time to arrive to one of these powerups though, I kept on getting the widening walls and cold ones). I think you could try to implement some storytelling in the game, or maybe some things you have to do as well to spice things up ? Like having to click on some stuff else you die, or read that you have to do something else you die (like a DO NOT MAKE THE BALL BOUNCE ON YOU PADDLE FOR THE NEXT 5 BOUNCES) or something like that, might be a neat idea since this is a solo game. Also you made this on SCRATCH ! Takes me waaaay back 5-10 years ago when I was a kid and I was making stuff on there lol, goood job with your game, coding on scratch is rather... LIMITED (omg limited space), so congrats for managing to make a game in a short time with it ! Especially since you didn't do a lot of game jams before |
| Oct 20 21:55:03 | 29m 17s | Wings over Bagel Bay | ♥ 1 | Wow, at first I thought the game way meh and had no interest, but as time went by and by DAMNNN ! Really nice concept, and amazing execution ! The game feels kinda endless given that I never manage to beat it, I went up to the point you have big planes trying to kill you, it was really fun ! Love the way things control, the upgrade thing is nice and having to swtich out between the two modes is a neat concept, boat for farming money, play to deliver and heal. If you get a call from some organization called "the army" wanting to recruit you as an engineed for a planeboat prototype thing, you'll know where that comes from lmaooo ! I"m impressed you managed to setup a leaderboard thing, congrats on this ! It gives the game another purpose than just completion. Nice entry, pretty balanced game ! The crude graphics hid one of the best ideas for the jam |
| Oct 20 21:59:42 | 4m 39s | Fishpile | ♥ 1 | Lovely pixelart ! I couldn't finish it given the lack of time lol, but it's a cool fishing game ! |
