| Oct 19 16:31:47 | 26m 12s | Old Tech Village | ♥ 1 | Well done! Survived a couple nights, reminds me of a game I've played with my son. I always love low poly style and survival. Was there a way to chop trees without having to shoot them? I really like how you dug into Old Tech, like, this is genuine old old old tech, true to the absolute roots. Tutorial/onboarding is set up succinctly, UX is incredibly smooth and the game is intuitive right off the bat, nice work on the sfx as well. The core game loop is obvious and quick to learn. This would segue very well for players. I might be overlooking it, but how does one repair the well? I didn't see any stone. A bug I found: seems that wood sometimes drops out of bounds, not pertinent to scoring and I got plenty regardless, but thought I'd raise it. Some questions: do trees only grow in top left? I know this is for Compo, but what are your thoughts on additional resource management and potentially procedural generation for explorable area outside of the well area? Again, fantastic submission! Thanks for letting us play! |
| Oct 19 17:45:19 | 1h 13m | Stardust | ♥ 1 | I am obsessed with astronomy and have to say, this is absolutely awesome! Reminds me a bit of the cell stage in Spore but with stars which I vibe with more. Less biology coded than I am astrally coded. Love the visuals. As you mentioned in another comment, start feels a bit slow, but I feel like the line to quicken the pace is very thin. If you adjust, I would not adjust by a large factor. This is excellently formulated and I just have to say I'm both impressed and inspired. We went with a space aligned, gravitationally dependent theme as well. Hope to see you on our side of LD! |
| Oct 19 17:58:38 | 13m 19s | Old Man Playing Old Game | ♥ 1 | This is hilarious, I am so glad to be alive in the perfect window of human history to witness the glory that is this game. As a gameboy developer I'm biased to like this, but as objective as I could be, this is both peak comedy and creativity under the pressure of a time limit. Excellent spin on difficulty as well! |
| Oct 19 18:19:37 | 20m 59s | Nothing to Report? | ♥ 1 | Enjoyed the game and art style! It wasn't apparent initially that keys are what's used to move from camera to camera. Otherwise this gave me some nostalgia in both the visual department and mechanics. Impressive work, and great job piecing it all together with the theme. |
| Oct 19 18:25:59 | 6m 22s | MalWar | ♥ 2 | Maybe I'm just early, but surprised this hasn't seen more attention. Embodies the theme perfectly and is both hilarious and fun. When I watch Kung Fury next, I'm going to be imagining Hacker Man hacking away in this style. Excellent build! |
| Oct 19 19:49:19 | 1h 23m | BIT ROT | ♥ 1 | SYSTEM CLEAN! Excellent on the gfx and sfx, and perfect hit on old programming punch cards! To the T with the theme. I'm imagining a late game COBOL spider enemy lol. Pieced really well together, my friend. |
| Oct 19 19:53:58 | 4m 39s | Virus Killer | ♥ 1 | What a throwback! Literally the roots of my gaming career all bundled into one game. Love the tab completion feature as well. Brings me the joy of sitting in front of my terminal all day. On point for the theme as well. Excellent job! |
| Oct 19 20:11:18 | 17m 20s | Operation MISSILES! | ♥ 1 | Hard even on easy mode, but still a unique approach and immersed in the theme. Great job! I love the unique mechanics, easy to pick up. My only real critique would be the length of the startup/onboarding guide in the beginning, but this is LD. Fantastic job! |
| Oct 19 20:25:19 | 14m 01s | Switchboard Operator | ♥ 1 | This is hilarious, my cofounder and I were discussing doing a switchboard style game in retrospect from a humorous angle after our submission. My idea was that you would be a switchboard operator who fell asleep during orientation and awake to being assigned your first job. Originating connectors would have a request, and you'd essentially have to guess based on a pattern or hint to land the phone plug in the correct spot or be fired. Thoughts aside, excellent gfx, you nailed the theme and the core game loop is spot on. Great job! |
| Oct 19 20:37:51 | 12m 32s | SLOOM | ♥ 2 | Incredible job! Haven't played a turn based FPS before, this was fun. Is this procedurally generated? If not, I feel like this is the perfect opportunity for it. In my opinion, this could go far. If you have more ideas, reach for the stars with them! Great style on the gfx and gameplay! |
| Oct 19 20:44:44 | 6m 53s | Old As Taxes... LD60 | ♥ 2 | Right on, fits the theme to a T and is generally relaxing. True art as well, accommodated highly in my rating given. Gives me a lot of nostalgia. Well thought out game! You thinking of going the extra mile with this or is this exclusively for LD? |
| Oct 19 23:44:58 | 3h 00m | Pinball Mechanic Mania | ♥ 1 | That was awesome! We don't have enough pinball games, and I can't recall any that follow the deckbuilding format. Great job on coming up with this! Also true to the theme, pinball's been around quite a long time |
| Oct 20 00:46:31 | 1h 01m | GO AWAY | ♥ 4 | Legendary lol. That really brought me back to the dawn of web gaming. Embodied the theme perfectly too. The beer drops got me actually laughing Fantastic work! |
| Oct 20 01:30:21 | 43m 50s | Rusty laser | ♥ 0 | That crank mechanic is awesome, love this! Great job on the visuals as well. |
| Oct 20 22:18:08 | 20h 47m | Nomad City | ♥ 0 | Great game, awesome sfx and track, super vibey. THE ROAD IS CLEAR! Wish there was more content! |
| Oct 20 22:29:00 | 10m 52s | Mr. Radio | ♥ 0 | 404 not found :( |
| Oct 20 22:35:47 | 6m 47s | Punch Card Patterns | ♥ 0 | Nice puzzle and fitting to the theme! Knowing about shift/ctrl was exceptionally helpful. Your core loop is great and you could definitely build upon this mechanic |
| Oct 20 22:41:04 | 5m 17s | Blackwater | ♥ 0 | This was so cool, brought me back to Battletanx era but on the water. Go the extra mile with this one in my opinion, great job! Love how you nailed the theme as well. Maybe I didn't encounter it, but I do wish there was a way to flip the canon to the other side of the boat for when you're near the border very impressed with how much you packed into such a short time, well done! |
| Oct 20 22:53:23 | 12m 19s | REDUT-7: Radar in the Forest | ♥ 1 | The tea 😂 Absolutely excellent job on this man! Hit the nail on the head for theme. I'm particularly inspired by the events you designed and pieced together. The player has plenty of fun variation, and the electrician hobbyest in me was appeased with the breaker box |
| Oct 20 22:56:50 | 3m 27s | Floppy Defrag | ♥ 1 | Reminds me of that old chip game from the 90's, great job! |
| Oct 20 23:03:18 | 6m 28s | The INNOffice | ♥ 1 | Jeez this was incredible, fantastic job immersing the theme in. Seems well polished |
