| Apr 19 18:41:34 | Crossworld | ♥ 2 | I had fun playing! I mainly enjoyed coming up with words. Moving them around in the grid to make space for new words was somewhat cumbersome. Fun to see Word2Vec in a Ludum Dare game! The input worked well, although sometimes when I entered a letter I would suddenly fill the whole row or column with WWWWWWW. ;) I would have liked to be able to do all the editing with my keyboard, so that I don't have to switch between keyboard and mouse all the time. I like that there is an in-game explanation of how the game works, but all that text looks a bit messy, being centered, slanted and different sizes. The graphics are efficient, but sticking to a color scheme might help to make the look more cohesive. It's funny how sometimes I got the #1 word, but other times I was very far off. The highest level I reached was level 6. I would have liked to be able to go back to the level that I reached, in stead of starting from level 1 again. Overall, good game! | |
| Apr 19 18:54:20 | 12m 46s | Arithmancy | ♥ 1 | Very original combination of different game mechanics! I played a couple of times and managed to finish all the difficulty levels. π I was really tempted to take notes, but didn't in the end. I wonder if the game would be even more fun without the memory aspect, so that there is more room for planning ahead. I can imagine that the numbers would then change after an entity landed on it (or when used) to mix the numbers up a little bit during the game. And perhaps substraction and multiplication could be used at some point as well! Overall: nice entry, well done! π |
| Apr 19 20:16:42 | 1h 22m | A Clash of Horns | ♥ 2 | Nice game! The music is well chosen and the graphics are really nice! β€οΈ I enjoyed playing the game! I only got to level 4, where I got defeated. Unfortunately, I had to start from the first level again. On replay, the game got stuck in one of the moves of the enemy... My highscore was 660.

| Apr 19 21:08:35 | 51m 53s | Replicate-You | ♥ 2 | Hehe, so you created both a little game Γ‘nd a replicator! Very original idea, fun to play with. I liked the graphics of when the replica was being calculated. I really noticed that the more steps it had to process, the longer it took. The Menu button was sometimes covering a coin. I tested making different replicas. One that only walked in tiny circles, and the replica indeed copied it! And one that avoided all coins. Haha, I had fun! |
| Apr 19 22:00:53 | 52m 18s | My Little Demons | ♥ 2 | The little demons are so cute! I love how they all have their own power. β€οΈ The graphics and sounds are awesome! Level 8 stumped me for a while, but then I found the solution. π The controls are a bit funny, which made that I had to try several times the whole setup for level 8 before succeeding. The spikes are very harsh (also from the sides). I would have loved to be able to use up arrow for jumping. Overall: fantastic game! π |
| Apr 19 23:12:15 | 1h 11m | Conjurer's Game | ♥ 1 | I didn't expect to win, but somehow I did! My second try ended in a tie. It reminds me of the kids card game 'quartets'. :) Nice graphics and dialogue. Well done! |
| Apr 20 19:54:32 | 20h 42m | Kobold Pet Shop | ♥ 2 | Haha, this game made me giggle. Cute sound effects with cute pets! I got 23 points on my first try, but only 20 points on my second try. I enjoyed the intro and the gameplay, although it was a bit short. |
| Apr 20 20:28:06 | 33m 34s | Ancestor Rain | ♥ 4 | Cool voice acting and cute graphics. I like the songs and the patterns we had to play along with it. I was a bit distracted by the flute sounding a bit flat to my ears, making me think I hit the wrong key all the time. But the audio does nicely fit the frog theme! I tried a couple of times, and now my hand hurts haha ;) And it just started raining here! π Well done! |
| Apr 21 19:13:25 | 22h 45m | Return to the Kingdom of Calories | ♥ 1 | Such a sweet game! π¬ The graphics are really nice and cohesive within a color palette. π The music is cool as well! I enjoyed the backstory and the flying carrots as arrows. I like that there are different sweets to choose from each level. I like that the instructions are gradually given, but I missed some of that at the start. Well done! |
| Apr 21 19:28:06 | 14m 41s | You Have Been Summoned | ♥ 1 | Nice artwork and story! Not so many choices to make, but that's quite understandable. Good job! |
| Apr 21 19:52:10 | 24m 04s | My First Summoning | ♥ 1 | Aii, so many instructions, with some being unclear or incomplete: so many things that can go wrong! It took me quite some tries, in the end I used Google Translate to find the right words. ;) But in the end I finally managed to summon the deamon! It was a pity that the book covered the spirits that I summoned. Fun take on the theme. :) |
| Apr 21 20:10:39 | 18m 29s | Potion Cooker | ♥ 2 | Cool, a 3D game! I like the big mushroom. I found that it was quite a lot of BIG text to start with without visuals, and I accidentally skipped some of it. I didn't like that I had to click the ingredients to collect them. Also, something was off with the mouse coordinates, as I have to click not on the ingredient, but some way to the top-left of it. Once I figured that out, I managed to cook a potion, but was then unable to deliver it to the mushroom mom, since that meant that I had to click outside of the game due to the funny coordinate problem. I tried downloading the game, but that didn't work since the link seems empty? |
| Apr 21 20:42:06 | 31m 27s | Hungry Portals | ♥ 1 | Very cool idea! I liked that I could destroy the level around me. However, the controls were a bit funny (on my computer at least). Sometimes it seemed as if some of my keys got stuck, and the character would keep moving in a certain direction. I managed to complete level 2 somehow, but never level 1. |
| Apr 21 21:05:35 | 23m 29s | Songbird Symphony | ♥ 1 | Oooh birds, I like birds! Original game idea, and awesome that you can play it on a phone. My highscore was 4.60 on my phone and 4.83 on my laptop (with trackpad). Really cute, but somehow I did miss some more gameplay elements. Like maybe remembering the sound shapes? Good job! |
| Apr 21 21:27:48 | 22m 13s | Chibble Nibbles | ♥ 1 | I love the facial expressions of Rosemary π First I tried playing the HTML version, but the showing of the moves was somehow really slow. After failing a few times, I decided to download the .exe file. That worked much better, and I managed to win the game! The different sounds with the different directions really helped. But I would have liked to visaully see the difference between listening/learning and when it is time to copy the moves. Art style is cute and the music is awesome (did you make it yourself during the jam?). Well done! |
| Apr 23 19:47:13 | 46h 19m | Rock Paper Summon Frog Plutonium | ♥ 2 | Haha, I enjoyed playing the game. I was always curious what the result would be. Some answers were a bit weird in the sense that the suddenly talked about a third object or person, but I understand now that AI was involved. ;) Overall, well done! |
| Apr 23 20:14:49 | 27m 36s | Dark Altar | ♥ 1 | Nice puzzle game! I was a bit surprised that the puzzles didn't have a unique solution. It was a fun twist with the skull of 2 points and the blood chalice. My main strategy was greedy: start with the skulls at high numbers and in the end move some things around to fix the last numbers. I like that you took the effort drawing different demon faces, even though they only have a short appearance. Overall, well done! |
| Apr 23 20:35:59 | 21m 10s | Necropets | ♥ 1 | The graphics are really cute! And the all the pet names are a nice touch. π Cool transition effect. Sometimes I had to laugh about how the items changed the pets, although at first it was not clear to me how to use the items. Very original! |
| Apr 23 21:04:45 | 28m 46s | Tremblewood | ♥ 3 | Nice game! At first I was quite confused what was actually happening and kept losing quickly. I didn't understand that the health bars belonged to the houses, I thought they belonged to my minions, hehe. Once I got the hang of it, it was quite fun t summon minions, hide behind them while the fight for me and then collecting all the 'rewards'! And then suddenly the game ended, I won! I didn't really see why, so I played it again (and then I saw it). Art and music are both very nice. I had fun playing it. Overall, well done! π |
| Apr 26 12:45:48 | 63h 41m | Defense Trap | ♥ 1 | Nice game! It's a pity that the retry button doesn't work in the web version, so I had to reload the page every time I wanted to play again. I played a couple of times, but with a working retry and score in the end, I would have played even more! My strategy was to direct all slimies into the middle lane and put all my traps there. π Well done! |
| Apr 26 13:01:56 | 16m 08s | See You Again | ♥ 1 | Nice, I had fun playing it, and found the end! I liked the small hints and puzzles. Well done! |
| Apr 26 13:36:56 | 35m 00s | Athention, Please! | ♥ 1 | The first notes of the Sirtaki already brought a smile to my face, but then when the voters came waddling in I had to laugh out loud haha. π I also like how happy the little men become when selected and the weird voice acting. Had a lot of fun, while singing the rules of the current vote to the music. It could take quite a while before the first voter in the right outfit would show up. The stages were a bit too long, and I wish they would get faster when I got further. I got to stage 11, and then decided I should get back to work. ;) Overall, well done! |
| Apr 26 14:05:01 | 28m 05s | Turret Queen | ♥ 1 | That was so much fun! A classic game with a very fun twist of collecting different upgrades. I liked that I had to chose which upgrades I would collect to build cool helpers. I managed to win the game π Well done! π |
| May 17 19:07:42 | 509h 02m | PIED PIPER | ♥ 1 | I saw your post on the homepage and decided to play. Very cool game, congrats! I managed to get to the end, it was quite an adventure. Innovative mechanics, and cool puzzle design! LDscreenshotWin.png |
