Apr 21 17:41:37		WEB DIVER	♥ 3	Tremendous presentation! Took me back to playing 3-D Dinosaur Adventure long ago. Definitely had a "he's right behind me, isn't he" moment when I turned around and the dinosaur was just on top of me. Controls are tough but I think that's part of what makes it so unique. Having different layers of visual and audio based on signal strength was a good call. The nature of the game made me not put the points in sound very often so I feel like I missed out on some levels of the vibes, but even the low level audio is a vibe in itself. This is great and something to be proud of! Fantastic work, team!
Apr 21 18:03:44	22m 07s	Flag Fanatic	♥ 2	Even with a cheat sheet this game is extremely difficult! I feel like I learned something today both about flag semaphore (I can remember a few letters without the chart now!) and about myself (I panic hard when a word has 7+ letters). After about fifteen minutes my best score was a four. A lot of my successes were from figuring out a handful of letters throughout the word and then trying to fill in the rest. I could use some work! Fun little educational tool. Would be good to have the answer after a failure just to know where it all went wrong.
Apr 21 18:36:24	32m 40s	I MUST SCREAM	♥ 1	Took a few tries to get my bearings but this is a really unique game! I had fun with it and just a neat entry. Confident I won't play anything else like this for the rest of the jam and that's complementary. Great job! Keep making things!
Apr 21 18:59:06	22m 42s	Mimics Must Die!	♥ 3	Appreciate the vibes. Love a good moody-lit dungeon. Voice acting was also a great touch. Love the growling of the mimics on the sensor. Thank you for giving all the items little interactions. Loved clicking the horn/duck whenever I felt fidgety. Fantastic humor! My browser did come very close to crashing when I used the popper not sure if that was just an HTML5 quirk or what. Great job, team!
Apr 21 19:35:26	36m 20s	Cableman [a rhythm game]	♥ 4	Once you get to the future the difficulty really starts to pick up. Super fun game, mechanics worked well for me and I did make it all the way through in the browser version. That first song about the Cableman is such a banger and the beat switchup in the future world is a nice touch. Really great bones on this one and a fun game! Everybody did a fantastic job!
Apr 21 19:56:47	21m 21s	Boba’s Love Story	♥ 1	What an art style! Great job!
Apr 21 20:20:23	23m 36s	Signal Steve	♥ 2	Fun little puzzle game feels like a modernized Chip's Challenge a bit. Great use of theme. It's my fault for not reading the full instructions first, but it took me a while to realize I had to interact with the doors to get the matching waves so for a while I thought it was just an experimentation game. Once I got that down the puzzles started flowing and got through it in relatively quick time. Good level design and could be a fun concept to expand on. Well done, team!
Apr 21 20:47:46	27m 23s	NORTH-5	♥ 0	Great sound effects and all the mechanics seemed to work as advertised. Good length, told a concise story. I'm a sucker for terminals and computer UIs and this one nailed the terminal feel very well. Nice job!
Apr 21 21:06:26	18m 40s	Time is Honey	♥ 5	I don't know if I should feel remorse for all the grandmas I just helped scam, but here we are! Great game everything just seemingly worked. Played it through to buying all the upgrades. Visually looks very nice and polished for a jam game. Wire physics are on point. Fantastic job to the whole team!
Apr 22 14:40:54	17h 34m	Dot Dash Mash	♥ 1	Really interesting take on picross. The inversion rules broke my brain a bit. There's definitely some interesting concepts at play here that could be explored. As a bit of a nonogram junky, it's nice to have a fresh way to look at it and I had a lot of fun playing through this. Smart puzzle designs. Would have loved the ability to recolor certain tiles or lock in rows as complete while I experiment on others but that's just nitpicking wishful thinking in a jam setting. Game feels really polished for being made in three days. Great entry! Good job, team!
Apr 22 15:08:03	27m 09s	TellyBuddy	♥ 3	That's the good stuff right there. No notes. Very impressive making so many different solutions using limited interaction points. Really enjoyed it!
Apr 22 16:01:17	53m 14s	FOREIGN FREQUENCY	♥ 3	Nice job! Good atmosphere with a really satisfying computer feel, I love a nice clicky computer station in games. Everything seemed to work as intended. Only note is once I unlocked the cat cursor I desperately wanted to change back from it and couldn't find a way. Enjoyed playing the game regardless. Good work, team!
Apr 22 16:17:10	15m 53s	can u talk?	♥ 1	Conceptually this is one of my favorite games I've played so far this jam. The puzzle mechanic to the platforming is on theme and satisfying. The vibes are fantastic. Music and color palette sets the mood very well and the quick story bits felt like they added to the experience. Love that the talking on the phone did not interrupt gameplay or get distracting. I did find myself getting some slight frustration around the level design when needing to wait for the moving platform after the second(?) checkpoint whenever I respawned, but for a solo jam game I think this is an entry you should be really proud of. Excellent work! Keep making things like this!
Apr 22 16:30:56	13m 46s	1100 Fish	♥ 3	Took me a little bit to even notice there's land I need to avoid ...whoops! Once that clicked, the game became very satisfying. Enjoyed playing it! Great mood and atmosphere, fun gameplay, good progression of difficulty. Excellent job, team!
Apr 22 18:35:09	2h 04m	On Ivy Boulevard	♥ 2	Really love the UI and mood of this one from the music to the graphics everything fit together. It's a very polished feeling game for a jam. Cleverly crafted story. Excellent work, team!
Apr 22 19:04:17	29m 08s	Love Caps	♥ 2	Fun game! The mushrooms are real cute and the vibes are neat. Took me a few tries but I got there! Great job!
Apr 22 19:22:05	17m 48s	Bad Advisors	♥ 2	Very clever puzzle design. Would have enjoyed some random generation to it but I understand it's a jam game so time was probably tight. Fantastic work to the team I would play more of this!
Apr 23 02:11:22	6h 49m	BPM - Bionica Pro Mortis	♥ 1	That was a great coordination exercise! Gets challenging after a while. Really enjoyed. Solid rhythm game that felt like it worked pretty well. Great visuals and felt polished for a jam game. Nice work to the whole team!
Apr 23 02:21:16	9m 54s	Badcaster Shneebly	♥ 2	I'll just end up mirroring what a lot of others already said but I enjoyed the full package of the art and music. Fun character design too. I struggled to efficiently play and got stuck on the second level unable to make the happiness meter move. Still had a good time and think there are some good bones on this game! Great job to the team!
Apr 23 02:30:52	9m 36s	Pardon my Alienese	♥ 2	Good concept for a game and funny to boot! Had a lot of fun playing this one and could see it iterated into something even wilder. Eventually I ran in to a few issues being that sometimes rulesets would overlap with each other leaving me unsure what took precedent and once enough rules got added the subtitles covered the last rule making it near impossible to read anymore. Small issues in what I thought was a very enjoyable game. Keep up the great work! Make more stuff like this - love experimental games!
Apr 23 03:00:34	29m 42s	Numbus Crossing	♥ 1	We love a good fidgety dab button. Really fun and nostalgic game. Loved the music and the vibes. Did have a few times on the later stages where eggs seemed to spawn very frequently early on and then none spawned for the second half of the stage - not sure if that was just bad luck or a bug. Great work! Had a fun time!
Apr 23 19:07:18	16h 06m	Smoke Diss	♥ 2	This is so so good you all really nailed it. Excellent humor, fun mechanics, feels cohesive and polished. You should be really proud of this entry! Great work, team!
Apr 24 06:16:14	11h 08m	Hive and Honey Horticulture	♥ 2	Very impressive how much you crammed in here in such a short time. Fun idler. Played it until my computer just couldn't handle the bee swarms anymore (after about an hour of progress)! Great job, team!
Apr 24 18:35:56	12h 19m	AGENTS RHYTHM & RAID	♥ 1	Had fun with it! Visuals feel cohesive, lots of mechanics for a jam game. Was a bit difficult for me (who is notoriously bad at video games) so I appreciate having the option to skip levels to see more of the mechanics. I still tried my best! Nice work, team.
Apr 24 18:49:36	13m 40s	Alpine	♥ 1	Yup this is a good one. Great job! Really like the puzzle aspects with connecting the cables. Feels polished, has great vibes. Absolutely fantastic! I also could not figure out how to get more than 7 of the feathers. Alas. Seems like I'm not alone based on some of the ending screenshots in the comments.
Apr 24 19:00:51	11m 15s	Decoder	♥ 1	Had a lot of fun with it. I think the mood and style is great. Game has a real nice computer terminal feel. I'll parrot a lot of what other people are saying and say I had a lot of issues with the font. Was getting 1s and 7s mixed up and really struggled with figuring out what a dot/dash/space was when it came to those buttons for the morse code section. Ultimately, it's a minor issue in what I felt was an interesting concept that built upon itself as the game went on. Really good for a solo jam entry. Congrats on finishing your first Ludum Dare! You should be proud of this! Keep making cool stuff!
Apr 25 20:36:55	25h 36m	Operation Alien Translation	♥ 3	What an absolute delight. One of the best games I've seen this jam. Everything from the art to the polish. Great job, team!
Apr 25 22:01:55	1h 25m	Switchboard Sprite	♥ 1	Simple concept that works well. Good humor, nice game feel. Great to see a bit of progression in difficulty (at least felt that way to me) as the game went on. Well done, team!
Apr 25 22:09:58	8m 03s	Hoist the Flag!	♥ 1	Fun idea for a game. Nice sea vibes. Enjoyed how the music seemed to ramp up as the timer ticked down. First level went pretty well but started struggling a bit when the letters were introduced. The scrolling of the list definitely slowed me down a bit and I was trying to figure out what words I needed to spell out and which ones were already established as an existing code. Some good bones here though! Had a good time! Nice job!
Apr 25 22:24:09	14m 11s	Switchboard Operator	♥ 1	Having played a few different switchboard games this jam, I really appreciated the unique take you had making a game that wasn't based around fast-paced plugging in of cables. The puzzle aspect was a nice touch of having to find the right person to connect the calls to. Audio was very satisfying with the clicks and page turns. I did run in to some bugs such as in one run the computer just stopped connecting and giving me the information and just having general issues with plugging in the cables. Starting a new game helped solve the problems I was running in to at least. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or just had some bad luck. Still enjoyed the game regardless. Fantastic job especially as a solo project. Well done!
