| Apr 16 18:39:53 | SUMMONING | ♥ 1 | LD is not LD without checking xkoster's entry! I did three runs and for me the progression was very steep. Enemies becoming thick too fast and you have only one option to get +++damage each time. Otherwise you can't do anything to them at all. Maybe I was very unlucky with power-ups though. Still, great entry and jaw-dropping result for a solo COMPO dev. You are setting the bar for enthusiast game developers very high :) | |
| Apr 16 18:56:46 | 16m 53s | Isekai Hussle | ♥ 2 | First Very nice pixel art, great to look at, gamedesign and overall idea are unusual and interesting. The writing and jokes are amusing and very well fits the theme. The only criticism I have is with pacing. The game is either overwhelming when you don't have time to read all the text and jokes, or it grinds to a halt when you wait for the next truck. Anyway, very cute and interesting entry! |
| Apr 16 20:04:34 | 1h 07m | Summoning the bigger one | ♥ 1 | That's surprisingly engaging. Though I found it too lucrative to cheese the game by climbing on the block, attaching it to the ceiling it propelling myself to the sky and to the exit. Nice! |
| Apr 16 20:26:30 | 21m 56s | The Unsummoning | ♥ 0 | Ok, that's hardcore. I think I managed to get out of starting pit purely by accident. Tbh it's a bit too much. I would rather prefer having instant reset button instead of very short timer. Artistically this looks really nice and I like the premise. Anyway, solid job, but man... it's really hard! :D |
| Apr 16 20:51:34 | 25m 04s | TAKE ME HOME | ♥ 5 | Idea and visuals are really nice, game is pleasant to look at. Background music is nice, but the screams of animals are a bit too loud (especially given that they are very frequent). Some of the animal mutants are hilarious. Why 'gator goes to eggs though? I mean... at first I thought meat = carnivores, apple = herbivores, but egg ??? I mean, yeah, 'gators are born from eggs, but other categories are based on consumed food, not on the reproduction type. So I was confused here. Also not being able to abort picking up the animal needs to be fixed. If you clicked to early or by mistake on LOAD - that's it, you can't discard the animal. Sad. Anyway, nice entry! Good work! |
| Apr 16 21:25:33 | 33m 59s | POLLY | ♥ 2 | Yes, I liked the prototype :) Very pretty, very cute, much like! Will follow you guys to see more. Great entry! |
| Apr 16 22:01:09 | 35m 36s | Infernal Exorcism | ♥ 4 | That's one stylish priest! Concept is simple and clearly understood. I guess it could've use some indications of doing damage to demons and also salt drops instantly after pick up. Maybe you could add a tiny delay between pick up and drop of salt it would solve the issue? Otherwise, clean and simple. Nice work. Also it's refreshing to see anti-demon game amidst other entries in this jam! :) |
| Apr 17 17:19:49 | 19h 18m | Code Summonary | ♥ 1 | I like that style of games and inventive use of coding theme. Overall the concept is nice, however I encountered a few problems. First is I get 2-3-4-10 "powers" in a row but I have the currency only for one. I can't see what exact bonus I will get from the box, so what "drop" should I open? Just random. And it was really odd to have actually 10 drops in a row when I didn't even have cash for one drop to open. And also the game bugged out right after this 10 drops. The fight didn't start because the "enemy" hadn't fully entered the screen so the "Attack" button was disabled, but the "Go" wasn't working too. Anyway, cool idea, nice animations and stuff. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 17 17:30:14 | 10m 25s | Patty Panic | ♥ 1 | Wow, the fluidity of movement and overall process, smoothness of animations... this is very nice! Very pleasant experience, nice challenge and fun. One of the coolest entries I've yet seen this LD! |
| Apr 17 18:00:55 | 30m 41s | Summoner's Recipe Book | ♥ 2 | As everyone already mentioned (and as undoubtedly you know yourself, hehe) the artstyle is crazy good. Creatures are abundant and well drawn, the animations are nice and everything in general looks really well. However, your choice to make creatures with diminishing hitpoints is honestly frustrating beyond measure. The long summoning animation started to irritate because I constantly have to summon excess of creatures to feed the others. So this choice I didn't like, but otherwise the game is really cool. |
| Apr 17 18:26:09 | 25m 14s | Shoot The Furniture! featuring S.K. Eleton | ♥ 2 | That's neat. It's very cool that you managed to create that many assets and make them into the playable level. The sound level was fine for me and I also found amusing that you can shoot little pots with plants and they are just objects when big pots are enemies. Would be great to see more interactivity or fun with physics, but gamejam is gamejam, so it's understandable. anyway, nice entry! |
| Apr 17 18:53:54 | 27m 45s | DURO | ♥ 4 | Okay, that's cool and all. You do solve little puzzles, feel good about yourself and suddenly next level is a complete mess that you don't have a slightest idea how to solve :D I mean, guys, the difficulty curve is a bit steep) but overall it's very cool from both visual, thematic and quality point of view. Solid entry, cheers |
| Apr 17 19:45:47 | 51m 53s | Wonder Woods | ♥ 1 | This is beyond cute and amazing. The style, animations, drawing absolutely fantastic! The only thing I really missed is a proper tutorial stage because it takes time to know the map layout and understand UI/mechanics... and the Goddess is already pissed :D So yeah, one of the best entries to LD55 I've seen so far. Huge props! |
| Apr 17 20:23:13 | 37m 26s | Angel Vox | ♥ 4 | Чуваки, я надеюсь, что у вас там всё в порядке) Ненавижу хорроры, но моё почтение, конечно. |
| Apr 17 21:52:41 | 1h 29m | Witches Fishes | ♥ 1 | It's the most unexpected entry giving the theme of the jam! Although, it's kinda clunky to pick up and drop items and items lack labels or tooltips. But it's kinda chill and cute, I like it! |
| Apr 18 17:45:19 | 19h 52m | Necrogeddon | ♥ 1 | This is magnificent. Animations, color palette, idea, the mess on screen. It's all so good. Survive until your GPU burns from overload! |
| Apr 18 19:03:19 | 1h 18m | Spaceship Shooters | ♥ 4 | haha, that's a nice take. Very solid work especially for a jam, but if you don't mind I'd like to give a bit of critique: 1. There's no win condition, only lose condition and it is kinda hard to lose. IMO the game will benefit from overall time limit or amount of strategems you have to execute to win round. The rounds could get harder and harder etc. 2. The icon of one strategem often obscures the point of other calls spawned behind it. 3. When the call is spawned on the border between two cells, the line is visible merged into the grid and can't be easily seen Anyway, great entry! |
| Apr 18 19:23:01 | 19m 42s | Fiesta De Las Quimeras! | ♥ 3 | Nice and stylish game! I was surprised that it actually harder than it seems at first glance. You really need to spread your attention to a lot of things, it kept the game engaging and challenging! Art and sounds are cool, it also had no technical problems. So, yeah, nice game! |
| Apr 18 20:11:53 | 48m 52s | Zarguuf The Summoner | ♥ 1 | Cute game! Though on some levels enemies are a bit overwhelming. Bosses are fun though. The game feels polished with all the small details, sounds and animations. Very solid entry, great job! |
| Apr 19 17:48:20 | 21h 36m | Seance | ♥ 4 | Came here from xkoster's stream. Amazing work, massive game! Really quality product, it really deserves a steam release. |
| Apr 19 18:12:55 | 24m 35s | Soul Pact | ♥ 3 | The idea is interesting and chosen artstyle works well! I think the game could win from having an outline around items you can interact with. Also the movement is too floaty. Anyway, jam is jam, you just can't polish to a perfection such complex game in mere 72 hours. Nice entry! |
| Apr 20 22:14:02 | 28h 01m | No more summoning! | ♥ 1 | That jumping animation is superb, absolutely fascinating. Idea is interesting too. Like! |
| Apr 21 17:11:45 | 18h 57m | How To Rob A Bank (as a Wizard) | ♥ 1 | Yeah, the idea and the name is interesting, if you go through with it and try to make at least one functioning level I think it might a decent fun! |
| Apr 21 17:22:52 | 11m 07s | Bloody Builder | ♥ 2 | One of the best games this jam. Music is low-key great, the core mechanic is fun and resulting creatures are silly and funny. From the art style I've got the feeling of fantasy hotline miami. Honestly, this is really well done! |
| Apr 22 20:02:57 | 26h 40m | The Summonator | ♥ 0 | I was very surprised by how good it is. The movement and shooting are done well and polished enough to feel good. Extremely solid entry, I am happy I found it! And the humour in the description gave me chuckles, nice one :) |
