| Oct 4 11:30:23 | In the Shadows | ♥ 2 | Love the art style and mood of this. Very spooky with the limited space combined with limited visibility. Combined with the music it definitely felt unnerving. Not knowing what's in the next room or corridor. Only complaint I have is the coin pickup sound is too loud. Legit made me jump when I heard it, maybe I'm just a scaredy cat XD. But otherwise a great and very atmospheric entry. | |
| Oct 4 11:43:08 | 12m 45s | Tele the Axolotl | ♥ 2 | For your first entry this is really good. The teleport mechanic is really unique. Especially as the play space gets smaller each time you use it. So you really have to think about whether the extra projectiles it shoots are worth it for making it harder to move around in future. I lasted around a minute and a half in my longest run. I think that's a good length for a jam game. You typically want the player to be able to finish it in 5 minutes or less. The ghost art is quite funny I like it. Only a few minor things to critique. I would change is the balance on the teleporting. It feels like spamming that can be a little too OP. But the tombstone mechanic definitely helps with that. I was also a little confused why I died sometimes. Whether it was when the ghosts put the tombstones on the portal locations or if you teleport into a ghost. But honestly those are minor things and for a first entry this is really solid. Well done you should be proud. |
| Oct 4 18:48:59 | 7h 05m | SkaryMonsters | ♥ 1 | There's a great game here. It's a shame that the technical issues at times overshadow that. But first the good. I love the art. It's all expertly created. The stage, arena, decals and characters are all very professionally done. The music and sounds as well are all great. The gameplay is simple but pushing people off is satisfying. However same as other people I have experienced technical issues with the game crashing, or with multiple enemies stacking on each other and their sounds getting glitched out, I assume as they collide with each other multiple times and the same sound is constantly playing. If you can fix these bugs though then everything else is very solid. I'd be happy to take another look at this once its fixed, feel free to @ me then |
| Oct 5 11:28:00 | 16h 39m | Leapfrog Solitaire | ♥ 1 | Wow. I'm so jealous. I've wanted to make a card game again for ages. This is so well done. It's polished. The cards all look great. The gameplay is simple yet has strategy to it. There's honestly nothing I can criticise about what's there. And echoing what others have said it's a very interesting take on the theme aswell. If I had to be harsh I would criticise what isn't. Having some sound effects for picking up and placing the cards would've definitely helped complete the experience but honestly this is very professionally done. It's the kind of game I wouldn't be surprised to see on steam or the app store. With a bit of post dare love there's definitely a releasable game here. |
| Oct 5 12:04:27 | 36m 27s | Everything Must Go | ♥ 1 | Wow, I know a lot of people have said this already but this is amazing. For 3 days the level of polish is extraordinary. It feels like the kind of party game I'd play with friends on steam. The voice acting, the music, the games, the upgrades it's all incredibly fun. Now I'm really nit-picking here but some of the assets look a bit pixelated on a 4K screen. But considering this is a game made in 3 days it's really a stretch to expect this. I will keep an eye on this. I feel like it has a strong chance of winning and I'd love to see a post dare version on steam some day. |
| Oct 5 20:08:23 | 8h 03m | Package Express | ♥ 3 | This is great. I'm going to give you bonus points for not just fitting this dares theme but also delivery from LD53. It's a simple concept but surprisingly satisfying and addictive. I legitimately lost track of time and played this longer than I should have. Really great entry. |
| Oct 6 08:13:31 | 12h 05m | Chrysopelea | ♥ 2 | Haha, limited "Space". That's a very clever take on the theme. Definitely the most unique take i've seen this dare. The game itself is fun. A simple concept well executed. Good level of difficulty. Really not much to critique. I would just echo what Stronf said about having the option to undo a turn. As this can be a bit frustrating if you mess up. |
| Oct 6 11:57:54 | 3h 44m | Inside OUT - Mind Maze | ♥ 2 | Very interesting and depressing entry. A very interesting depiction of mental illness and the dark thoughts people experience being personified. The music and visuals help to create a very creepy ambience and mood which I really liked. The only issues I had was around combat. It was a little confusing sometimes where I would press E and hear the attack sound but the animation wouldn't play but it would still do damage. Sometimes it would play sometimes it wouldn't. I think making this a little clearer would've helped the combat feel better. But other than that its a really great atmospheric game and I really like the concept of exploring mental illness. |
| Oct 6 16:54:12 | 4h 56m | F.R.E.D | ♥ 1 | A very interesting entry. The art style and gameplay is quite different than the games i've played till now. The sound effects of the goo are especially good at setting up the mood of them being dangerous and something alien. I loved the death sound effect, maybe I'm a bit sadistic haha. I would echo what the person above said. Some more instructions would've been really helpful. It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do. The Keyboard controls as well are not very intuitive. But you do recommend a controller and I will say it feels a lot better with them. For 3 days this is really impressive. With some small quality of life improvements there's a really great game here. |
| Oct 6 20:35:02 | 3h 40m | Sampler | ♥ 1 | Wow. The atmosphere in this game is something else. The tension and dread it manages to build up with the ever-present eyes, the cold and alien sounding music and the perfectly white interiors is something else. Making a game in 3D as well is very impressive. Especially for a compo game. The puzzles are interesting and unique and the ending scene when you realise !> you are a meal for the creature watching you genuinely gave me goosebumps. An excellent entry. There's really not much to critique. Even if the assets are simplistic they really match the clinical theme the game is trying to get across. A really great entry. |
| Oct 12 17:41:52 | 141h 06m | Nebula Odyssey | ♥ 1 | I like this one a lot. The music and art and general gameplay does give off some FTL vibes as others have alluded to. I found quite a good strategy was to just build out horizontally as much as possible and add the magnets to maximise the money. Definitely a cool concept here which with some extra time to flesh out could be a really fun game. Not really much to criticise here. Controls were easy to understand. I guess one thing to improve would be the UI. I think if you cant afford to place a room yet you should have the placement show up but semi transparent in red. That might make it a bit clearer and easier than nothing showing up and having to press the key again. Well done! |
