Very well made. It's a nice relaxing game. One bug I did find is that sometimes when you try to place something the fish all teleport around. I bought a rainbow fish and it never showed up. I still really enjoyed it, lots of variety to decorate with.
Classic riddle, the game was very cute.
I was very confused playing, the menu was clipped outside the screen so not sure how much I missed. I could not figure out where the food was as the only object I found to interact with was whatever it was that fixes the power.
Bit of a sketchy packaging of the game, could of used some bloat removed too as it had a lot of python packages it didn't need included.
As for the game, it seemed to go on forever in my case. I think some of the sheep got attracted to something they couldn't get to so they kind of bunched up on the hill, so I always had at least 6 sheep.
The art is ridiculously good. The gameplay was pretty smooth as well and was fun.
Interesting idea, it kind of goes from easy to extremely hard a little fast though. I would of liked to see some inbetween where you learn different uses for each thing you can drop and what works.
The music is a little intense, it's a neat game that could probably do with a bit of balancing. The fact that every action costs money meanwhile you have things killing your cows that you have to feed and milk to throw into a machine or truck, is a lot going on at once.
Definitely got NSFW from the start. Good puzzles and good artwork. Good all around really. I did find trying to predict his movement when he sees an enemy to be a bit difficult as he did a full stop in the air one time when an enemy got in range.
Very fun game. The puzzle elements were very well done. The fact that you don't get punished for the warrior dying is nice and let me enjoy the game a lot more.
The sneak peak into the next room didn't seem to be all that useful, but it's an interesting mechanic, for the first few rooms I thought it was a cutscene and didn't realize I could move it.
The irony isn't lost that you have to buy DLC to destroy the DLC.
I was pleasantly surprised by the runner aspect. I think being able to choose what you use resources for would have been nice, from what I can see it's hidden and when you hit the resource value it adds it to the house. It's well made.
Definitely too many enemies once you get the upgrades, if you are meant to get the player first it should be cheaper than the other two.
Quite a lot of features. I think the attacking could of used some extra work, as it was hard to tell where the attack actually hits or whether it did.
Very fun game, I'm a sucker for voxels. The player movement was a little tough to work with but overall once you get your army up you are running around just trying to get to things before they despawn.
I think it's definitely unique. The story doesn't have much impact other than to help you remember but it makes a nice little memory game.
I gave up near what I think is the end. There is a long stretch where you don't get the option to turn back half way so if you choose the wrong direction you have to start all the way over.
Game crashed when launching it, kind of stayed on a grey screen with the music then it closed.
Narrative platformers are underrated. It's quite a bit of fun.
I was very confused at first but I caught on. It's a different kind of puzzle game, with good visuals and really draws you in.
Congrats on your first jam, it's simple but it plays well. Based on your summary it sounds like some of the features to add some difficulty had to get scrapped, time management is key in game jams but it gets easier when you can use your past games as reference.
I like that it makes use of the newer clicker game concept. Has a decent progression, would of been nice to get more story bits since you have to wait quite a while for stuff to build up.
Managed to get stuck since I couldn't go back and didn't have any open doors to go through. I like the planning aspect, and it has progression as it "learns".
If you used audio assets and image assets from other sources you should remove Graphics and Audio from being rated.
It has a neat level design, and seems to have different attacks based on how you move. A blocking mechanic would of been nice since it doesn't seem possible to avoid getting hit much. A side swipe was the best option to avoid the lunging enemies but that only worked sometimes.
It's a very nice system. I am not sure if there was something wrong but it stopped letting me switch between the three tabs when I was near full system repair. I could open the folder but nothing else seemed to work.
The attach and detach seemed to be a little clunky. It's a nice puzzle game though it doesn't quite match the theme.
Not sure if there was range based on weapon, for the bat and katana I thought they'd connect a little further than what was needed.
I love voxels so I am glad to see someone using them. The main issue I found was the camera was hard to work with.
Short and simple but very beautiful. The visuals were well thought out and the music complements it.
Not seeing a character so can't get past the first platforming, guessing it's hidden behind a different layer? Edit: Tried it again and I get it. I think the controls are a little tight for platforming with the player just barely scraping the height needed. Neat concept though.
I couldn't get attacking to work so I just kind of roamed around until I was swarmed by 40 enemies.
The game was relaxing, it looks good, and I like the last bit. The main critique would be the build menu was a little annoying to use with the scroll bars.
Would have been nice to have some audio in the background or a pickup sound. There are no controls specified as well.
Graphically it looks really nice and player movement feels smooth.
There are a few issues with balance in the game or at least in my plays. The zombies didn't die with the limited number of bullets I had. Some kind of indication of remaining ammo or shots left in the gun would have been nice.
I also did not see a replay or restart button when I died.
The game is a beautiful experience. Especially when you look out the window. The background music is very peaceful and adds to the mood.
I noticed a bug at the end where you can get points from the boxes that require a light mod. You can endlessly gain points but it doesn't matter since that's basically the end.
I felt the end was very abrupt, there was no sense of completion. I'm guessing time ran out before more could be added which is a shame.
I found it very difficult to progress because of the way the clones work. One tap of the left click sometimes spawned 2 or 3 clones which often times cut off my path. Holding the click was hit or miss on if you would be forced down or allowed up.
I like the concept of it, just needs some polish on the mechanics.
The art isn't bad but it was not all designed the same. You have different perspectives in the same scene. Pick a side you want facing the camera and make sure that is the side you see on all applicable sprites.
I like the fact that you have to plan your actions according to the tips as something you did two days ago could give you away.
Nice variant of a Tetris game. I gave it a few plays and made it to the leaderboard. I think it follows the theme well and has some nice simple art. The player handles well and I had few issues with placement of anything.
The one issue I would say the game has is after a certain point there doesn't seem to be a way to come back if a stack gets too tall. The time it takes to reposition blocks to scale your way over to the stack threatening to end the game is the same time it takes to continue growing.
The music is a but odd but it adds that oddness to the game as the planet slowly dies. The entry does a good job of portraying a mood and also a bit of a message.
I like the look of it from the screenshots, shame it's saved as a RAR file so I can't play and rate...
I tried quite a few times to get past the second level but I couldn't. Just not enough time to sort out the path. After many times sorting butts and work I gave up.
The art assets are good, and the game plays well enough. I feel the theme is kind of forced and as long as you stand still and spray the gun you can't lose. The enemies don't appear to do any damage so letting them slam into you and then shooting them seems to take care of the camera shrinking issue. The camera could probably be better served being static and you see the play area shrink or limiting your vision.
The game was very short, I was a bit surprised when it was over. Clever theme use and nice art.
The game has a few balance issues with the options you have available. The drug upgrade is basically all you need in order to win. You let the population grow and every now and then trim it back. I didn't find myself using any of the other upgrades.
The background music was nice, it was a lot of waiting and just watching a number. The ending is also a bit anticlimactic.
Very fun puzzle game. Some of the puzzles were actually very tough to figure out and I found myself getting really into it.
The game follows the theme and the graphics while simple, still look good. The background music is very subtle too which helps promote thinking.
The game looks good and is pretty solid for a compo entry. The art style is a bit of a copy of other games, but the combat is unique enough.
I did find that the player's movement would often be hindered by invisible walls, which led to a few unfair deaths.
There is a lot of work done in a little time and it's a full game, nice job.
The lack off checkpoints is kind of frustrating. I also found switching from Fly mode to be finicky where it either didn't take or took so long I died.
The hit detection is a bit off. The player would often miss even standing inside of an enemy, as sometimes they would be above him somehow.
I like the polish on the UI and the upgrades you get as the round progresses. There is choice so you have a measure of control on your survival.
It's a bit weird to see a simple cube and then the perfectly magical orb. Other than that the game was fantastic. The progression in abilities was neat and allows for the puzzles to get more complex.
I really enjoyed the Tutorial level. The addition of a skip level option is nice, but I did click it twice thinking it was a respawn button. The boss level was fairly difficult and it seemed to go from a 4 difficulty to a 10.
The updates put in kind of break the rules of the compo. Fixing bugs is good, but quality of life improvements are new additions not fixes. Please make use of versions to have one that was for the submission with whatever bug fixes are put in, and one for post ludum dare with new features if you continue to develop for it.
Very impressive amount of work to be done in 48 hours. The movement was a little clunky but the game was fun. I didn't have a real use for the wall but I'm sure it can be used to prolong the game much longer than I was able to.
Very tight timing on the levels, it was definitely a challenge. I'm not used to using W for jump so that took a little getting used to.
Not sure if the platform falls after so many hits or if I just got distracted with the balls that shoot out seeming to orbit the platform.
I finished with 48 fails. The game was very well made. I like the look of it and the difficulty is just high enough that it stays interesting but not so hard that you just move on.
Very clever use of the theme and with the game mechanics. 5/5 from me.
I recommend adding a .zip instead of a .rar since it's not a standard file extension. Some might not download WinRAR to play a game.
I'd recommend using a .zip instead of a .rar as that is not a standard file format. Some people might not be able to play without downloading third party software to get to it.
I was unable to actually play. The game doesn't handle 800x600 window mode, or fullscreen. I was able to get out of the plane but the parachute did not work. The first time I hit the ground and slid off into the abyss. The second time I went through the ground into the abyss.
Very interesting game, it reminds me of hotline Miami except stealth focused.
Game is very tough to keep track of aiming and memory. I think this would make a great memory game as it kind of forces you to keep up. I managed to clear the board once but quickly lost as things sped up.
The jumping is a bit weird in how it works but otherwise a very fun game. The cards kind of seem pointless since you can just fire as needed.
Good choice of genres to combine, the racing element is kind of not there though with it just being a picture. Music is nice and it plays well.
Game is pretty solid. Turn based doesn't work well with sports, or at least it doesn't here, which supports the theme. Despite that it actually was fun.
Game looks really nice and the genre combination definitely conflict.
The gameplay could of used a bit more work as it was just kite until you inevitably die. A timer of how long you survived could of made it a challenge.
The death screens are pretty funny. It took me a few tries to figure out what was happening but it was easy to catch on. Very clever theme combination.
The game was fun and was interesting. I do not think it followed the theme though. The jump mechanic was a little difficult but it just took a little longer to get used to.
Over all it's a fun little mad-lib game. I don't think it followed the theme that well. I also didn't know what the bars represented but the choices I made didn't seem to correlate to one or the other.
I always suggest turning off the donation option for LD games, very unlikely to get donations and it could turn away people that don't see the "No thanks" option.
The art is neat and the music is good. I think the level design escalates a little quickly since after the first two enemies it basically becomes a wall of death. The character's hit box is also hard to know since it isn't the fully body.
Still fun to play and see how far you can get.
Very good looking game and it plays very well. I do have one complaint, and that is R and F are very close on the keyboard.
The first time I found a room with what looked like interesting things I pressed R instead of F... maybe add a "Are you sure you want to restart?".
Very fun even despite my mistake haha.
Same errors they were getting, I'll check back later :)
I like the art style and having a boss fight too is impressive. I found the movement to be a little hard to get used to since it was all relative to direction faced.
Fullscreen seemed to mess up the phone "simulation" where I didn't see the phone.
I could definitely see this being an actual app. I kind of hope you turn it into one and manage to confuse someone into thinking it is the real pokemongo.
Nice parody.
I found that the game was fairly confusing with no tutorial. I liked the graphics and it seems like there is a lot to the game, but it needs explanation.
The web build seemed to run sluggish as well.
The game plays well enough, but I'm not sure how close you have to be to actually win. I was at 53miles and it still was saying missed and that was directly center. I think some additional levels or just different targets could of been nice as well.
Not sure how intentional the game idea was but it was entertaining. Reminded me of Stanley Parable with the narrator trying to lead you down one path or another.
Nice music and the art was pretty nice too.
Gross, but a clever concept.
I got up to 30 points on my last run. I think they could use a bit better turning so I'm not jammed into the edge for a few seconds. It is also fairly random if a key will come down. I think it would of been very neat to see the keys in use be based on percentage of how often that letter may be used. That space bar would be slamming down constantly haha.
I say this to all itch.io pages, recommend turning off donations. Also, please make it more obvious which is the LD entry so people don't rate based off a post-ludumdare version.
I found it difficult to actually defend the tree with it being attacked from all sides in such large numbers. Some delay in their spawn or speed might have made it easier, or a ranged weapon. I liked the art style and the music was nice in the background. As Tom Peter isn't listed under members of the team I can't really rate audio if it is just someone else's music.
I like the inspiration of Legend of Zelda with its recent release and all.
Stamina never was an issue, and jumping everywhere was much faster than sprinting. The gun made fighting too easy as I never once got hit. The only battle was ammo conservation, which was never an issue since I never needed to actually kill anything. After 12 "shrines" I had fought maybe 2 bosses, but it was just like fighting normal monsters, which also could be skipped by just using the tower device. The world is huge, and not really in line with the theme.
Despite going against the theme and the flaws above I did have some fun exploring and seeing what the game had. I never saw a use for inventory so I'm guessing that was due to feature creep. Good start to a long project if you intend to continue it.
Very beautiful game. There is a bit of depth to the story even with just the few lines. I felt a bit robbed with the ending though.
In terms of actual engagement I found myself wanting to know more about the area, the idol, and the denizens of the Dump. One issue I did have was the way the camera system works made it a little difficult to get around. It was actually funny a few times because I'd run off the screen and then come back with my face mashed against the camera going the other way.
The game doesn't really have any obstacles other than the 1 kind of puzzle at the end. I think the art is good and the audio is very good as well.
I think too much time went in to the polish of the game and the actual gameplay could of used some more time. I enjoyed playing as this creature and finding my way through the tunnels. The ram and roar mechanic have a lot of uses for puzzles so it really just is lacking in that one area. Other than that it is very nice.
The game is pretty neat and the physics system is okay. The tug of the two astral bodies tends to force you one way or the other instead of guiding you.
The star field also needs expanded out a bit as you can see the edges clearly. I found the levels to be very straight forward but it was fun to mess around with the physics.
You should remove the donate option from the itch.io page and make individual zip files for each build to make the download smaller.
A few things for the main menu. The text is hard to read on the background with the text color chosen. If you haven't already, take a look at Anchors for the UI pieces. It takes some getting used to when learning the scaling.
For the gameplay, the controls are smooth and the game plays well. I think some variable speeds could of added more difficulty to it. The earth graphic reminds me of that tank spinoff from agar.io. I did notice an asteroid stop after I shot the asteroid in front of it so not sure if they are colliding with one another or not.
As your first entry I think your team did pretty good.
I'd recommend removing the donate option from the game page, it's extra clicks. I would recommend porting it to mobile though, think it would be a nice de-stress game.
This game is all about the atmosphere and while it may get flak for not having typical game elements it is good. Very solid visuals and the audio adds to the experience. Hopping along in the snow out to the docks, short jumps, long jumps, and the creaky boards.
Simple, short, but sweet.
So much content and features packed into the game. I was surprised to see upgrades, multiple maps, a mini-map, and even boss fights.
The content does a lot to keep you playing. Some of the spawns for enemies are a little too close to the entry point of the map segment.
Nice entry.
The game is pretty interesting. The first space rock I made eventually exploded from too much in it. Every attempt after that the core failed. I am not sure what I did right the first time and wrong the next times since the 4 categories were kind of even.
I was expecting to mix elements and toss them at the planet, but the gameplay is more just of just randomness. The elements go so fast I can't tell what they do because I'm busy swatting other ones away.
Overall it was fun to play, and well presented, but it is a bit confusing and that's from someone that knows what those elements are for the most part. I imagine it will be super confusing to anyone that didn't like science.
This is my first 5/5. Literally a homerun. The game is fun to play, has a chipper tune in the background with solid sound effects. Looks good, and is overall just plain fun.
The game reminds me of Lethal League, but you could of got your inspiration from anywhere. The controls took a bit to get the hang of but after a few games it wasn't noticeable.
Oddly enough it took longer to beat a 2nd player that doesn't move than it did the CPU. CPU is pretty well programmed though and hits some pretty speedy baseballs.
The theme and your game don't mesh well when it comes down to the gameplay. I do like the art, audio, and the idea of the game. After a few attempts I started to get the hang of the controls but the moles spawn too fast for the amount of ground you have to cover in the 3D environment. Not being able to see a mole on the opposite side pretty much dooms you.
That said I did have fun and I got better as I played more rounds. I was stuck at 5 for awhile but the last best score I got was 9 which I couldn't beat. This may also have to do with playing the web version.
The simple visuals and overall design are pleasant. The gameplay was also intuitive and easy to figure out with little prompting. I enjoyed solving the bomb puzzles and did have to try a few times on a couple of them. I also like the use of the sound effects to not only make it more exciting but to know how long until it explodes.
I think that the game should end after the last level and not repeat however.
I like the art in this. I really wanted to love the game but I honestly just got so frustrated fighting the controls the whole game.
I spent more time trying to place routes and fighting with the shop menu to go away and interrupting my placement of things, than playing the game.
Rant aside, the art and audio add greatly. The creativeness of using a globe as opposed to a 2D map is wonderful. I am unsure how to run this ship business though since the docks never really generated much revenue for me so I'd go broke after buying enough to make 2 routes.
I think some way to speed up the game would also help for getting started when you are just trying to fill your coin reserves a bit before spending after rent is due. I still liked the game, but the controls really took away from the experience for me.
Not going to lie, I probably went through like 30 levels before wondering if there was an end or perhaps I am endlessly trapped in this beautiful underwater cave.
Well done on this. If you added some kind of focus to the game it could EASILY be a top greenlight game on Steam. I'm amazed that you got this done in 48 hours. I went in thinking cool another Jam submission by a team. Then once I actually read it's just one person and with 24 hours less haha.
First game I've wanted to view the source code from so far. I hope to learn some stuff from your entry.
Very nice game. The variety of things you can combine and make really add a lot for the curious player to discover. The audio was also extremely well done, and was actually humorous. That and the audio quality was impressive for a Ludum Dare game.
Seems to be one of the most polished entries I've seen so far. I think my only recommendation could be to introduce the player to how to survive before tossing them into a ship depleting oxygen.
Pretty enjoyable game. Simple mechanics with so many levels. I even got distracted on one level to see how many lasers I could put in orbit and still not die. That fact alone makes this a great game to me.
The audio is repetitive but it doesn't get annoying.
Well done on this.
I think the game starts with a short fuse for the timer. The levels should start a bit easy to teach the mechanics.
I liked the puzzle aspect of trying to get the food and balance health from falls. Some sound would of been nice to add to the mood and capture the player's focus.
Simple concept but I enjoyed it. I was worried it was a clicker game at first but was glad to see it wasn't. There is also a small bit of strategy to it which greatly amplifies it's fun. I tried to make the most optimal farm.
I think some payoff with the end sequence would have set it over the top.
You missed a wonderful opportunity to add a lighter to the bug spray. Maybe a flamethrower effect when you kill so many bugs.
It's not bad for a last minute creation. I was surprised when it went from one ant to suddenly like 20. Making use of the time as health was also a creative way to make variable scores.
I think your game is positively delightful. I built a ton of trees the first time and couldn't see what was happening in the massive forest that became a forest of houses.
I played it again and built the ecosystem. I put 1 human. That one human built a house and somehow gave birth to the apocalypse.
Truly a great game. I think some way to avoid the human Armageddon would of been a nice.
There is some random chance of a meteor spawning right near the planet with no time to block it. I like the idea of the game and the visuals. The music is also a nice touch.
The background really brings out the spinning effect and lends to the experience.
The game could use some difficulty added to it as you can continue to spawn infinite units. I think with some more time on it you could polish up the mechanics as you did have a variety of units, a win condition, a lose condition, and it plays well enough.
Quite an amazing game. I found the game to be pretty difficult with some of the precise jumps but the levels are short so it needed the difficulty. However, there are sooooo many levels it's insane, in a good way.
I really like the art as well, the player reminds me of Shantae from Shantae and the Pirates Curse.
I think the levels are well designed and I never felt they were impossible, very hard, but not impossible.
Very pretty game. The puzzles are also intuitive which is nice because I was able to beat it c:
It was simple but it plays very smoothly and the puzzles vary a bit so it's not repetitive. The audio also helped the mood.
Only improvement I could see is just more content.
Extremely fun game. I didn't understand was going on the first few orbits but once I figured out I wasn't supposed to murder the robot it was a "blast".
The super bouncy version is really hard but I managed to beat the robot. I love the physics of it and the feeling when you hit it just right and it goes soaring around.
Really well done. I do think it might of been improved a bit by having the ability to go back, but forcing your direction might be best.
I think you had the base of the game just about ready. If you decide to participate next LD, which you should because it's fun, I'd recommend taking what you learned and building on it.
Time management is something that often gets over looked in these rapid development situations. Something I've taken to heart after doing several of these now is get the core gameplay done first. Use simple graphics that can act as place holders until the game can play. Then you have to balance what you can do with feature creep.
I do like the art in your game and the beat in the background isn't bad. No real bugs either, just lack of time to finish.
I really like the game. The visuals are simple but are very smooth. The audio is perfect background noise and the sound effects contribute as well.
I'd of liked to be able to move the ship and the lock on independently so as to make it possible to avoid getting hit, but the ship is rather resilient which makes up for needing to stop to lock on.
You should fix your web link, it appears to be https://rmershon.github.io/LDJam/index.html not Rmershon.github.io. The web version crashed when I hit play as well so I had to go back and download it.
I think it is crashing because of how quickly things start when you load the game. The windows build also took awhile to load the level. When I start I immediately lose as well because someone is standing right on me. After a few attempts I got to play since it seems random spawns are the culprit.
I like the idea of the game. I think if the player could move a little faster it would be a bit easier as well.
I think I was almost done with the game but I got stuck on "deal with thomas" nothing was interacting and I walked around trying to grab an item or interact with pretty much anything.
I spent a lot of time just wandering around trying different things until I finally found the right combinations. I think if it wasn't as confusing as it is that it would have been more enjoyable.
I still think it was good and it is definitely an interesting game.
Pretty solid arcade shooter. I ended with a high score of 2360, probably not great.
A few things to comment on. It was slightly annoying that dropped boxes were counted as obstacles and could not be shot through. I also found it easy to control the enemies since they are using simple path finding and do not avoid obstacles, which is completely acceptable considering it's a 72 hours jam submission so no expectation on super AI.
I liked the art style choice and other than the 2 complaints above I think it was pretty good. The little intro also gives it some life.
I wasn't able to to figure out how to turn my camera which is something I imagine was possible based on the gifs on the game page. The snowman also isn't able to shoot faster than than the spawn rate of the spiders so it is immediately a losing battle.
I liked the graphics and it has a very polished menu.
I think the gameplay needed a bit more to it, mainly the ability to fend off the spiders with faster shooting and more precise shots as where I clicked and where it landed was often different since there was a delay when shooting.
Physics games are a dangerous slope, could go great could go bad. I think this turned out pretty good. The pull of gravity on the ship is well done and it was fun to test the limits of how close and fast I need to be to escape the pull.
I also like the little messages for controls and when you smash your ship to bits.
The art is simple but blends together very well.
Very creative game with a very fast increase in difficulty. I managed to catch onto some of the mechanics through observation after awhile and the discovery was pretty fun. Those are some pretty tough time based challenges. I like how you incorporated evaporation into the spread of water, throwing in a bit of science to it.
I managed to clear up to the TO BE CONTINUED part so I take it you plan to continue past LD?
If so, I recommend checking the click triggers. I had to click on a plane multiple times in some instances for the water to move. I think it might help if whatever plane is highlighted had an outline or something as it could be I was just missing because of how rapidly you have to go on some of those.
Overall, pretty solid game aesthetically and gameplay wise.
I'm not usually a fan of horror but I like this one. I love voxels so I adore the art style. I think the atmospheric music really brings the horror aspects out. The match system was also well done, it kind of acted as check points for your exploration.
The camera's point of view was a bit rough but it was manageable.
Well done, I enjoyed the game and never felt stuck even when trying to figure out the next segment.
I like the puzzle aspect of the game. However, without that user commenting the controls I would of been super lost. I made it to the point where I need a chip for a door but haven't the slightest clue where I am supposed to get it. I walked around for 5 minutes trying to interact with everything.
I think you should put more information on this game page, at least for controls. Maybe a walkthrough since it is a puzzle game and many like myself may get tired of wandering aimless after a while.
I still think it is pretty good though, I enjoyed playing it.
Beautiful game, I have a fondness for voxels.
The gameplay is a bit rough but it doesn't really punish you for the swift deaths so it all works out. I actually got an error at the end when I went to grab the croissant so I don't know what the ending is.
I think some block or dodge mechanic would make the gameplay more exciting.
If it helps for error replication I had defeated all the enemies on the last level, or so I believe. Yet I died when I touched the croissant and I got the error when I went back to the last level to try to grab it again.
Very beautiful game, mad props to the artist. The game very much reminds me of "Braid" which uses a similar mechanic. The puzzles are not very difficult but it was very atmospheric.
The movement animations seemed a big rugged when switching directions or changing speeds.The E key also flips with the box.
Overall it was very good.
I'd recommend taking the donate option off the itch.io page.
The game took a few tries to figure out what was happening and what was required. I still don't think I understand it fully since the planet still frowned at me.
I think some instructions would help. I originally thought the sun symbol meant they were too hot and needed water. Then I thought it might mean they were fine. Then I realized after a while it meant they want to be in the light haha.
I think it eventually becomes unmanagable to balance the sleep, sun, and rain cycles.
Very creative game. I enjoyed the game and found it got fairly challenging. Very reminiscent of those little movement puzzle games that I'm sure was part of the inspiration of. I had to give up on the wooden bridge section, I tried probably 50 times and the controls were just too difficult for that fine precision, at least for me.
Still, lovely game and beautiful piano in the background. My only recommendations would be to make the control over the rotation a little more precise and maybe widen the bridge section. Maybe make the ball have a bit of a glow so it's easy to spot too.
That's a pretty fun little game. I made it to the leaderboard too! I need to look into how to do leaderboards it adds so much replayability.
I like the art style and while not a category, excellent game page design on itch.io.
As for gameplay, I feel it was simple but in that simplicity it was fun. I found myself trying to keep the food bar up and defend my next food source from those evil blueberries.
Music was well done. It definitely compliments the graphics and general mood of the game.
Very clean menus and nice art. I played it a few different ways against the AI. I also played against myself and I think the first player will always win. I think you have a solid foundation for the game and it might be worth spending some more time on and throwing it out on mobile. If for nothing but experience with AI.
Simple but very fun. I found it very hard at the start but once I got some warp upgrades and started to get the mechanics it was much better.
I will say the turning circle is a bit annoying to get around.
The dragging mechanic did not work very well. It kept wanted to move them to places other than the cursor. I also found the funerals to be far less frequent than the number of deceased.
It's a bit random but I did manage to get one victory, or I assume it was a victory.
Since you have no idea what something is going to lead into answer wise it's more of a memory game for when you finally get a clue.
Good polish on the game and was pretty fun to play. The game has some good difficulty to it and was more fun than expected of a tower defense game.
Bonus points for not using donation prompt on itch.io.
The controls are a little awkward to use. I would of liked use of arrow keys for flippers.
I also found that the ball moved incredibly fast occasionally, not sure if it was intentional.
Overall, nice polish on graphics and audio. Other than the speedy ball the gameplay was pretty smooth.
Lovely art. The game can be pretty difficult. I think the game is straight forward enough that you can learn what each thing does though.
I never really had to click anything. I think if there was something more interesting happening for upgrades that it would be more incentive to keep going.
This is nicely done. Being able to make use of your enemies to get to higher places without needing to reset if you miss a jump is pretty nice. The level was a tad short.
I would move the control instructions to the description and off of the title screen. I didn't see them overlayed on the game title.
I was not able to solve the puzzle.
I never really saw a reason to switch doors. The game is interesting but I got tired of not being able to afford anything and repeatedly losing with no gold.
Presentation is there but the game is lacking. The fight is just holding shoot and jumping towards the enemy.
I think the game could of used some sort of healing mechanic or at least a way to dodge. I found it hard to fight the orbs without getting hit at least once.
I had a laugh because the player's lazer kind of looks like upvotes on reddit.
The player could use a bit of an increase in movement. Those pitchforks are fast as bullets compared to the player speed. Maybe some visual cue would help to alert when it is going to throw.
It took me a second to figure out what was going on. I just saw dots going crazy. Once I got 3 blocks I figured out I was the blue one.
Neat little game. Not sure if it endlessly loops when you get to the permanent sun area or not.
This game is extremely difficult. The movement is very rugged and it is very hard to move in 3D from the given view point. I tried about 30 times to get past the ceiling light portion and kept missing.
With smoother player controls I think it would be something I'd play over and over. The high score board definitely promotes replay.
The controls are rather difficult to work with. I'm guessing the goal is to attack a few times and jump away so you don't just get pushed into a spike.
This is great for people interested in learning basic robotics or doing puzzles. Fun, but not really something I'd play for long.
Recognized you immediately from the last entry. Really love the polish you can put on a weekend made game.
The game's a bit random but I think it's a good play. Some more control over characters would be nice or an explanation of their skill. I kind of just mashed all the buttons.
Web version didn't work for me in Chrome or Firefox. All I got was the arrow in the top left that doesn't do anything when pressed. (didn't rate)
Neat game. I found myself really enjoying it. The game has a lot of potential on mobile to kill time.
You do need to fix the anchor on that Replay button though, it was way off to the side.
This is a great show of what Ludum Dare can be. The graphics are pretty good and I dig the music choice.
The aiming needed a bit of work but I guess you could chalk that up to alcohol.
Recommend adding controls to the browser version's description.
I'm not sure I'd classify it as difficult in a good sense. I like the game but the randomness of the spray of the gun makes it very difficult to have any control. After several tries I got past stage 2 just to have more enemies thrown at me with no increase in control.
Overall though I still really like it.
Enjoyable game. I felt like there was a lot of dead space though and it made it hard to find things. After a few runs through the game I got a better handle on movement and was zipping around pretty well. I was very much reminded of an old flash game I used to play called Gold Miner or something along those lines.
The story ends a bit abruptly but the gameplay is real nice. The graphics are very old school but well done.
I really enjoyed the game, but I honestly was not sure if I was making progress or not. The ship control is a bit wonky with the way you turn, but it is forgiving enough with collisions on land to not be bad. I even pulled a flying dutchman act and drifted over land mass at one time.
You are kind of rail roaded on to one path that is very hard to dodge enemies on. I found the audio to be nice and was interested in the story but could not progress past the first level due to the difficulty. I imagine there must be some trick to it that I'm not seeing, or just being better at it.
The game is a bit hard to control. When you interact with the monitor it should show you the screen in case you were looking down at it. I also found that telling it to go up 1 or 5 was a bit strange instead of just up 1 level.
I'm guessing there is no way at this time to make a "burger".
A big hurdle with Ludum Dare and something new and veterans struggle with is scope. Make at least 1 key thing and some way of winning or losing. Then focus on the flair and presentation.
One instance of a win/lose condition would be to feed everyone in line or lose if the line hits the cave entrance.
Perspective for some of the jumps is the enemy more than the interaction choice. I'm not sure if the whip was to be used as a tool or a weapon. I didn't make it far into the game but if there are no multiple object interaction levels then pressing E to take it then Enter to leave is a bit redundant.
Pleasant graphics and a nice number of levels. While the levels are basically the same it does add some length to the game. I found that the shape of the blocks make it hard to fit in the space given most of the time. Overall, it feels a tad unfinished but has plenty enough to offer for a LD game.
The game kind of throws you in without any explanation. The clues are there but it needs some kind of lead up.
I found the game mechanics to be fun, but got stuck at the 3 lever puzzle. I tried for 5 minutes to get past it and just gave up after 40 or so attempts. I couldn't find the pattern for the life of me.
This is pretty awesome. I love the simplistic nature of it yet it looks great. This is super solid for a LD game. If I had to nitpick there was a lot of space I couldn't use due to the shapes, and bad placement at the start. Maybe a next day button as well instead of losing your night cycle by watching the people on 4x.
I like that it has a different mechanic from the typical angry birds style game. Gauging power and distance is a bit tough. I would of liked some music or sound effects.
I like the riddles and actually found a few difficult. The beacons should have some way of locating them other than roaming around at random, as it gets a bit tedious. Adding the last part to the puzzle is also confusing as there appeared to be no open spots and only got it after a lot of guesses. Sound is definitely needed for this kind of game.
Really clever yet simple. Always love your graphics. I found a rythmn of going in circles with the magnet and arcing my way around the map based on speed of rotation. Not sure if you planned for that or not but it was fun.
In your game description please explain how to play the game. I used the arrow keys and "won" the first level. Is there more to it? I couldn't get it to continue.
Reminds me of some isometric tests I had to take in the past, trying to interpret 3D on 2D. I think it's a great concept.
I like the various path options and ways to interact with the world. I felt like there were too many light sources, and I don't think candles should hurt.
Some of the jumps are a bit unforgiving. I like that the clones are used to reach places and also kind of like a checkpoint in some instances. Nice stickman drawings.
If you want to get rid of the wall grab bug make a Physics2DMaterial and give it 0 friction and assign it to player.
I could not make it very far in the game. A suggestion I have would be to not use blind leaps. A platformer must always give a hint as to where you need to go. I kept finding myself leaping into emptiness because I couldn't see how far I needed to jump to land on something solid.
The player controls are fairly responsive, so nice job.
I would of liked some kind of win condition to be there. After a rocky start I beefed up one plant that basically took care of everything for 10 minutes. I think it is a very solid tower defense game.
I like how well the bow aims and controls. I found that the character is incredibly weak though. I think it took me 10 arrows or more to take down the first robot. That and you die in one hit.
Appearance reminds me of gang beasts. Nice local co-op game. I feel like with four people playing it would just be random whoever makes it to the middle though.
Game is extremely unforgiving. Had to play since we both had similar takes on the theme. After a bit of practice it did get easier to make it farther and farther.
I didn't make it very far but I was never great at shmups.I think it plays fairly well if a tad difficult.
This is pretty amazing. Imagine watching a review of your game inside of your game.
This is a very clever use of the theme and I will be showing this to my friends for sure. Love it.
The game looks really good. I couldn't get the golems to work however. The controls are a little tough to use as well. I actually found it easier to use mouse and keyboard over a controller. The camera movement was very jagged on controller.
I'm not a fan of the sound effects. The game could benefit from different units or a smaller field since the first few turns are rather slow. I do find it to be good base to expand on though.
I tested friendly fire and was actually surprised it was allowed.
The game is pretty interesting. I found it lagged a lot, possibly spawning too many monsters unchecked. A bit of performance polish and this would easily be an arcade game.
The controls are a little difficult to work with since you have to move in the direction of the thing you want to kill, which in turn makes it kill you. I think it would of benefited from some kind of speed boost or mouse aim since the spiders appear to move faster.
Really takes a lot of focus to do well. Definitely a great concept. Managed to save myself from a few falls since you can move the ground.
Feel like there's a message in it and it is open to interpretation. Or maybe I'm reading into it more than I should. Well made.
Seemed simple at first, then came the horrible fast dragging of narrowing it into a tunnel.
Well made puzzle game. The art is fantastically stylized and the game play is actually pretty engaging and requires some thought.
Wow. I gotta say the audio really makes this a great experience. The gameplay is solid and the controls handle well.
Pretty standard shmup. Being able to shoot in multiple directions is nice but not needed.
Game is really well done. My only complaint is I spent 10-15 mins going room after room and gave up trying to find the door for the key. After a while you just get tired of looking.
I like the art. The audio mechanic felt like it really didn't matter what was playing since the beat would stay the same but the weapon would change.
Neat game. I think it really needed some kind of audio to add to the atmosphere.
I think she needs meds if that is what she thinks her thief looks like. I found it to not be very fun, but the game plays well.
Neat idea for a game. I think making it time based limits the number of people that will enjoy it. Limiting number of actions would of worked better I feel.
The jump really needs some work as it is impossible at certain speeds. Overall I think it is good. The visuals are the best piece.
The game has no direction. I think the maps and platforming is good but you need to add some indication of what you are doing, and controls.
Artwork is perfect. The difficulty is a bit much. The trash cans mainly since they turn at set points so if you don't know those points it is easy to die.
Well made. I think the game is very unforgiving in terms of smacking into walls but it has a nice set of mechanics. The movement being controlled by what form you are in is a bit of a gimmick but it fits the theme well.
Solid endless runner in terms of core mechanics. I think it needed some of it's own flair to stand out from a standard endless runner though and it didn't really follow the theme.
I like the idea, it mainly tests your patience. The level progression could use some work. Continue should probably be Next Level and it shouldn't stay up when you move to the next level.
The game is too random. I didn't see a way to impact the results in one way or another.
Not Web. The game looks nice but the movement could use some refining. The jump didn't feel very reliable as sometimes it short jumped. The hit box was similarly hard to pinpoint. I liked the respawn animation.
Gameplay is okay, but I definitely feel it could of done without the sub theme.
Small inspiration from Enter the Gungeon? I like the graphics, but the world is kind of out of place.
Amazing audio. Turns out I'm not that rhythmic. I've always wanted to do something along these lines and similar to a game I played a long time ago called Patapon.
Really good puzzles, it was not very obvious from the text to place the cube in the small box areas. I thought for a while there it was a powerup.
The atmosphere, gameplay, and story do not really work together. Independently they are good.
Audio and visuals are amazing for this. The gameplay could use some more variety, maybe curving track just to mix it up.
I enjoyed it until the boss fight. Then it was just annoying trying to time it right over and over.
I did nothing, clicked Check, and won. What is the chance of that?
Good game. The out of nowhere loud sound effects on the menu screen killed my ears.
Impressive even if it wasn't your first game. Took a screenshot of my score. http://i.imgur.com/SFiHkSR.png The gameplay is simple but the polish is crazy.
Fun, I like how you can't just randomly shoot, you have to conserve.
With how fast things move it is difficult to play when you have to cycle through so many forms.
The controls are a little wonky, but after a few plays it gets easier.
The game is quite random. I managed to get two ending at one point because I just kept shooting stuff.
Neat game. I think the menus need keyboard support. Using the mouse to restart after each death gets tedious due to the difficulty.
The concept is good. I managed to get 70k+, didn't get a chance to screencap. I think being able to choose which shape you are could let you go faster.
Simple graphics but the puzzles are well made. Orthographic puzzles can be great for improving spatial awareness.
110400, just gotta spin to win. The game is very forgiving but it is still fun.
Couldn't get past the last lane. I think it could use more balancing but it has a lot of polish on the visuals.
The turning is a little too extreme. I had some difficulty getting the car to move where I wanted it to.
I think this is a pretty good puzzle game. I am horrible at time sensitive strategy games like this, but it's fun.
The graphics and UI are great. I think it needed more substance to get you to play longer, such as upgrades or rewards for clicking.
Really well made. Has the feel of a game you'd find on the super nintendo. The controls could use some polish but overall really good.
More of a learning tool than a game.
The game has a lot of good mechanics and makes use of the theme well.
I like the idea but the pieces move around so much you spend most of your time correcting it.
The player characters should probably move on grid lines. From what I can see they don't line up some times and you miss an apple despite most of your sprite covering it.
Site appears to be down, can't download.
Really nice. The defense bubble really sold the trap monster and made the boss easy.
Fun game, the audio adds to it a lot.
Original game doesn't start for me. Stays on menu screen and doesn't move past it.
The game controls are fairly buggy and could use some work. The audio and visuals are pretty good.
Ran into plenty of battles, never got better. Not sure how to progress in the game at all.
Controls should really be relative to the player.
The graphic theme is great. I couldn't figure out what to do at some point and I checked every door and item.
I don't think it fits the theme. Decent shmup.
Plays well but it doesn't really fit the theme.
Pretty good point and click. I found the puzzles to be very straight forward though.
It's pretty difficult given the number of options and rotation.
I was never very good at these games. Still well made.
This guy needs a better gun. The ninja guy was crazy.
Nice clicker game. Really enjoyed the diverse UI and statistics.
Really great game! Reminds me a lot of hotline miami and those kinds of games. Nice diversity in characters.
The game has a very mobile look to it.
I love the simple but smooth graphics. Took me a bit to stop endlessly killing and start going to objective.
I like the diversity of the puzzles and the mechanics used to traverse them. Nice job.
Well, most people think cats are evil anyways.
This is a fantastic entry. I did manage to find a bug, if you stretch into ceiling in some cases you get stuck and just kind of dangle there.
The UI could use some more attention, but the game is good.
The concept is good but it doesn't really have a lot. The controls are a little weird.
I like the game and visuals. Three of the four view points were awful.
I like the art and audio. I wasn't big on the gameplay. Game is well made despite that however.
Well done. I enjoyed the game and the message. One complaint is a lot of colors of the player match the background and blend in.
I don't feel like the audio added to it. Interesting mechanic with the way you have to look around.
I love the art and music. The gameplay is also pretty good, but some kind of delay after death would have added to it.
Nice puzzle design. I liked the difficulty as you went forward. It was kind of like a maze you trace a path through but with an added level of complexity.
I think this is a unique puzzle platformer. Story is a bit thrown together but it gives some direction to it all.
Simple but it is fun. I didn't think the music was bad and actually thought it added to it.
Very creative menu to game transition.
Really enjoyed it after getting used to it. I managed to get on the high score board but probably won't stay for long. I think some balancing needs done on it overall as fire wasn't nearly as good as the other two, but it's pretty good.
I played the original submission. The game is challenging but fun. I think the visuals were nice and I didn't have too much of an issue aligning the object with the wall, however the original's movement speed is a bit slow and you have to be on to the next immediately.
Excellent pixel art. I found the difficulty a little extreme after two wins. The third opponent is just way too fast. Still fun.
I played the original and I think it is okay. Good arcade game.
A bit short but it is pretty fun. A variety of different types of blocks could make it a good candidate for a full project.
Nice music and gameplay. The first round I just killed them all. Second round saved 9.
The game is pretty fun. I found it a bit tough in some areas but others could completely cheese by just continuing to morph.
Fun game, would of been nice of the player moved a bit faster though.
Environment is very neat, but extremely deadly. I played the non-patched since the patched has new features. I think the original submission needed the score to give it some progression.
Nice little platformer / puzzle game. I think the background was just a tad too dark but it was well done.
Nice start to a card game. I was able to catch on to the mechanics pretty quick and beat the cultists.
I like the game. The character must wait till the last minute to book since they are never prepared.
Nice concept. Not a lot of context to go with it though.
Very well designed and executed. Is there an end to the game? I just kept going and going.
Great game. I like the added touch of being able to hit yourself and change your hat.
Tough if you don't know the phobias and have to keep looking at the people to get the meaning. Aside from the button issue it plays well.
Very clever puzzle game with a nice story.
The graphics are over the top as is the gameplay. I typically don't like random games like this but this is an exception.
Control wise it handles well. Content wise it also has a lot of levels.
I was really hoping the dragon could fly but a long jump is good I suppose. The viking didn't really have a purpose. I enjoyed it and it was aesthetically pleasing.
Very fast paced and fun. I think the time indicator needs to be more prominent.
The sound is filled with a lot of static. I was not able to control the jet very well either.
Decent game. I wasn't sure if the pizza collection was optional at first so I had to backtrack.
Good art and concept. I feel like more control over the player would have made it more fun. The shop should also be placed after death for convenience.
I can't really rate the graphics because I recognize some of it as rpgmaker assets. So I will rate the art that was done. The game controls are a bit much for one player to control.
Really good graphics. The gameplay is good as well. There's a LD entry that is a 3D version of this.
Would of been nicer with a closer view point, it is extremely zoomed out.
I got to level 5 but then it would not show me the upper part of the level, just went off screen and died.
Game is difficult but has a good concept.
Game is quirky but it needs some kind of guidance. I played at least ten rounds and still didn't know what was going on.
Not sure if I glitched it but I did not appear to die. I think it is a simple but clever game.
Nice, really good concept. Bat was a little difficult to control but that is somewhat expected.
Amazing, really reminds me of something you'd play on the super nintendo. Gameplay was pretty great too.
Great graphics and concept. I felt that having the left mouse button be pickup and attack makes it a bit hectic.
I like the concept, I am not a fan of the sounds.
Nice game, it is a bit hard to see with the way line of sight works, but it is manageable.
Fun game, the enemy didn't pose much of a threat but it plays well.
Clear level of polish on the game. My only complaint is the screen size is a bit constricting and made me worried I would walk into a spawn point and die.
I like the game, but the logistics of keeping track of so many people in such a tiny window is a little difficult.
I enjoyed this, but the first few rounds are a tad slow. I didn't really need to start moving or changing tactics until the 5th round. I ended up dead on the last round.
The sword animation doesn't end until you move. I had to just let the sword sit where they fall to collect kills or risk dying from the attack not working.
Awesome animations. The sound really added to it as well.
Very nice graphics and audio.
I tried to become the reflective mirror and it errored out. Nice graphics.
Game looks good but it is very hard to control. I'm not sure how I switched between bow and sword.
Really short, do you plan to make more levels?
Really fun to play. With the current AI and mechanics you kind of need luck more than skill for some of the fights. Going against 4 people you are going to get hit no matter how you fight. Some kind of parry or stun.
It took me a lot longer than it should of to realize the arrows were pointing to food, not things trying to kill me. That was on me haha. I liked it, the controls handle really well.
The shadow form goes away way to fast to make use of it. You either need more control over your movement or a longer shadow form. Enemies also spawn behind you a lot, like right behind.
Enjoyed the game regardless.
I made it so long I was reset to level 1 and the music stopped. I had to check the comments to figure out the numpad was in use not the standard 1-2-3. Not a common control choice.
Well, that was a shocker. I think I got the bad ending haha.
The controls are a little confusing. Some kind of tutorial or introduction would be a lot of help.
Excellent game. I've seen a few pinball dungeon explorer games and this is definitely just as good. The biggest aid is that magnetism. Lets you really control the boss fight so well.
I like the art style. Not a lot of choice but you do get to choose one of two routes pretty much.
Nice game, the wizard looks like it might be three kids stacked under a robe.
I beat the rock guy and it didn't let me progress any farther. Not sure if I missed something.
A bit confusing to play but it is interesting.
Simple concept but it is fun to play. Some kind of visual indicator or what color is going to pop up would be nice. Not much of a window for reaction once it shoots if you want to collect it or not.
Good set of puzzles, wasn't just clearing them instantly.
Amazing artwork. Lack of control of jumping is a bit hard to deal with when you are platforming. I like the rogue-like element of progression.
Pretty fun puzzle platformer. The artwork is very good as well.
Fun game, the sacrifices look like characters out of The Oatmeal comics.
Love the fight mechanics, it's what I wanted to do for mine. The controls were a little wonky for keyboard though. Kept pressing ctrl +p which opens print.
Also, no source code?
Love it. The game does very well at controlling and has progression you don't expect to find in a game made in such a short time.
Fun game. I played a few races to try out different tactics. Apparently staying as the pentagon and brute forcing through the dirt with speed is the way to go. I came in 1st a full minute ahead of 2nd. Also, some of the AI started going backwards for some reason.
A bit buggy. The audio and graphics are the strongest parts. The game mechanics are not very intuitive but after a few tries you start to piece it together.
I made it to the bird, but I didn't quite have the notes memorized. I think it needs a bit of a build up to an 8+ note sequence.
Game was pretty short but you had the start of some puzzle mechanics in it.
Not sure what you use to run the game.
Complex in a simple way.
I like the idea of it but god is it hard to control. I think I spent 10 minutes on it and only got 3 rings.
Clever level design. The difficulty curve is pretty good.
Troll simulator. Goal appears to be to annoy the enemy until they leave haha.
Great graphics and style. Even for a rogue-like it is a bit repetitive. I finally got a weapon after being murdered by the birds about 20 times and lost it because a swarm of 10 birds showed up.
I think the biggest problem and one of only a few I had with the game is the controls for movement are a bit off since the key movement is dependent on where the mouse is.
The locals seem to be amazed at the flying cow.
Interesting maze. I couldn't figure out where the exit for 2 was because I just kept going in circles.
I played it through twice. The first time I kept wondering why my grass was turning into desert all the time. On the 2nd I managed to get about 285 houses. I enjoyed the game a lot. A greater diversity in tiles and events would make it even better.
Good game concept. I did note that the timer was ticking before you even hear the request though.
The ship handles well. To make it a bit more interesting I tried to plan my dive in when I could maneuver to it quickly.
A bit hectic on a few of the levels but it's an interesting game.
I feel like the game only relates to the theme in that you say he is a werewolf. I was expecting to do something as a werewolf once night arrives but you just win. Nice artwork though.
Reminds me of some of those game shows where they contort to match it or get dunked in water. I think a forward perspective would of been better for accuracy.
Clever puzzle system.
I got a :display:gsg:glgsg(error)" GLSL link failed: Link called without any attached shader objects. Have you tried building the code into an executable with py2exe?
Nice little game.
At first I thought the spread and speed of the bullets were excessive, then I saw the horror swarming around. Fun game, but the music didn't feel right for what you are doing.
Unique idea, and handles fairly well. The laps are a bit long though. I think I went two minutes without seeing another car.
Not sure where the first one was going but it looks like you had some kind of base to work from. Seconds was okay, it took a second to figure out what to do.
Bit of a stretch for the theme but I liked it quite a bit. I kept jumping into the ceiling and killing myself on a few of the levels.
Found my slimes kept getting hit by arrows. Was there a way to control them?
You should add controls to the description as well.
We had similar ideas! I like it, but the sword felt very under-powered and once they were in melee range I usually died swiftly.
Game of patience, really like the art.
Beautiful game. Very clear to see the difference of experience and teamwork that went into it. Gameplay is smooth, audio is great, and those pesky bears punch with rocket arms.
Pretty much how to play any fighter game, pick buttons and hope its good, at least at the start. My first pick was to waste a potion haha.
Simple and teaches you as you go. An indicator of how many switches are in a level would be nice.
I think the biggest problem I had playing was just not being able to see the bullets. I think it played well enough and the art theme worked well. I had to look at the controls page again to figure out how to get through doors, but that's just from quick reading.
Easily one of the most fun games I've played this LD. The environment is beautiful and the gameplay is fun. The objective is simple but it doesn't feel like you have to do it quickly because you just have fun flying around. The music matches the feel of the game and is likewise great.
The gameplay is a bit confusing. The art and music are both good. I tried it a few times but couldn't get past the 2nd planet since it kept crashing into one another or flying off.
Bravo, this game is really good. There is a bit of difficulty in dodging the projectiles but there has to be some difficulty. The level was also made in a way that you could learn the mechanics at a good pace. I just wish it had more levels.
I like the genre of space shooters but not being able to move forward of backward limits the ships ability to dodge anything. I found myself stuck in a corner and then blasted down just about every game.
I think given a different theme it would of done much better, as the other gameplay elements are great.
Well done. A tad short but it looks really good and plays well for a game made in such a short time.
I like the game quite a bit. The gameplay fits the two button theme very smoothly and as most LD games it is short and replayable.
Really interesting game. I've been wanting to do something similar to this for a while.
One problem I found was you could pretty much just recast jump to fly wherever you want. Other than that, really clever game.
The menu is very in depth with options and various difficulties. The game is also fairly difficult since the growth of the bar is in segments. Manages to fit both themes without feeling restricted by them.
I could see this being a good mobile game to play to kill time.
Seems like it would of been quite good with a full level. Maybe continue on a post-jam version?
At some point you just get too big and the seeds don't drop fast enough, or at least they didn't for me. I think the growth rate could start a bit slower.
Good game overall.
The game starts off a bit slow, but gets pretty fun once you get the dash attack. Maybe add some indicator to how close you are to a level up.
Fun game, reminds me of tamagachi and pokemon combined.
You say the game isn't random, but it is biased. The guessing game of if you think the game was good and if the game title or author are real or parody isn't easy.
The character also constantly complains about being tired, so I tested doing nothing and he still complains.
The game is extremely beautiful, partly because I love pixel art and obviously because it was well made. The gameplay is pretty great too for a game made on a crunch. Managed to get extracted using the hunter and making use of the right side of the level.
The ant is very tiny and hard to see. I wasn't even sure I was playing until I was a few levels in. I'm not sure the theme works well with the game, but you did follow it.
Great audio for the game. The visuals are also really good. The gameplay feels good but also is a bit tough. I suppose it takes a bit to learn though.
The game is a bit slow and uneventful. I think with some more work it could be similar to a typing game.
The music is really good and I'd like to say more about the game but I honestly don't know how to actually play. I move left or right and try to align the ball with the line but sometimes it bounces, sometimes it doesn't.
Interesting. Simple gameplay but more focus on a message. Took me a few passes to realize you had to fill up the bubble though.
Art wise, really well made. The lights do flicker a lot, could just be me. As others have said the collisions are a little unforgiving.
I would of liked to have two buttons mapped to the buttons. The fact that you have to click the button makes it difficult to the point it is random chance if you get far or not.
The game was incredibly laggy for me. I think it is a neat different take on katamari.
Simple concept. I couldn't get it to let me shout at all, or if I did then it did nothing.
The game is a bit buggy to play. Whenever the survivor touches an object he just kind of slides in one direction. If the touch each other they also mess each other up.
Actually beat it. A bit spastic but overall I think it does pretty well at keeping you entertained and looks like some effort was put into the various categories. It does not fit either of the themes very well though.
The game is difficult enough without the after death part. I like it, and it would definitely be less interesting if you had a functional ship since there are plenty of those kinds of games.
The title of your game doesn't match the exe window. I really like the game though. I find it very difficult but also not completely unfair as to make it frustrating. I will say once you go down below the line you pretty much never come back up.
Based on comments from my own game, excellent job with the arrow in the background, it is insanely useful.
Fun game, but definitely a little difficult from the get go. I wasn't able to get the super weapon to work either.
Really well made. Each category of a game has been worked on and given time. The chef does get a little quick on some parts but overall pretty fun.
I think some power ups or ways to boost would of made it even better.
Neat little game. I saw in the notes that the tail was intended to be a weapon later. I think that would make it a lot more interesting than making it snake like.
I'm not sure if it is supposed to auto attack and defend, but the numbers rise without doing anything.
Visuals and audio, even simple would of lended to the game.
The Compo version is a bit slow. I also felt like the two button was a little forced and was not helpful for the game.
I like the idea of it though, and haven't played the post-compo version which I imagine is improved.
Feels like something you would find on an actual arcade machine. Fun game, but it does have a bit of a learning curve since there is no indication of what does what immediately.
I'd of liked to see the score not be related to the upgrades. Maybe just base it on "parts" taken from destroyed ships.
Simple game with a frustrating difficulty. I managed to get this score though. http://i.imgur.com/6pWEr72.png
The concept is good but it feels lacking quickly. With some variation in the line or maybe it rolls down various black and white lines and you have to not end in a dead end.
A time score or something should pop up once you fall off to try and reward you. I had to purposefully fall to see if there was a score as well.
Again, I like the concept. A lot you can do with it.
The sound is a bit odd but good game. Follows the theme and is a clever mutation of the classic Snake game. I would be scared however if flowers grew that way.
The game is fun to play and is rather inventive. I do like that the number of weapons vary and the difficulty gets harder as time goes on.
What I did not like is that the enemies left if I took too long. I am guessing it is because if you have no weapon you can't take them out if they are all already stolen from.
Despite the obvious tropes I found myself continuing down the story more and more. I think it's a good visual novel / choose your own adventure.
I'm not quite sure how to progress in the game. I spent up all of my DNA points and I can only get more water and energy. A lot of the text got caught off screen as well.
Web would do well if you hosted it to itch.io or another site. I found Firefox works fine with it however. The game is a test of patience and exact movements.
Interesting game. Vertical movement is the only problem in terms of speed. I reached near screen size but then suddenly went down to a tiny mass of 8.
Really well made. The art is fantastic and the audio fits very well. The gameplay is some what tedious but also fun and creative.
I've attached a screen shot of a bug I found. I ventured into the mountains because it let me and then endless falling loop.
http://i.imgur.com/1ZYGYAt.png
Clear transitions before days and some level of introduction would do well for the game. I didn't have any trouble figuring out the basics and getting through the game for quite a few turns.
I think a visual indicator for remaining supplies and cost for each selection would be good. I also don't know if selecting multiple even works. Again, some level of introduction would be nice since you appear to start the game in the middle of a civil war.
The controls limit the fun of the game for me. I found the controls to be very picky in that you can't hold the jump but have to tap it or you just jump straight up. The arrow keys also didn't jump for me but they did move left and right.
Other than the controls, it's a good game.
A bit slow to start but definitely fun. Managed to become the monster it is meant to be. The ending was a bit anticlimactic though.
Great audio and nice inclusion of a story for a simple murder spree.
Great music, kind of looks like it is drumming on the innocents of the city.
Super good game. Not a single complaint really. I love the art style, the music, and the gameplay. Speaking of gameplay I found that the only thing that could really get me was the archers.
Dat calendar. I think it was rather good, especially the art which is important for point and click.
Nice level of difficulty increasing as you go to the point where you just get overwhelmed and find out your total. I felt like the dynamite hit me unfairly quite a few times, from either it staying there longer than the animation or transparent pixel collision. Overall, fun, looks good, and sounds good.
I found trying to click the cannons to be very difficult and finicky. On screen buttons or predefined buttons would of been better for that I feel.
While the game is buggy I think it was amazing for the time it had to be made in. There was a lot of attention to detail on the scenery. I do feel like the animations were a bit slow, the villagers mostly.
Plenty of replayability and I love the art.
Really good graphics and solid gameplay. This would probably be a very popular mobile game if some more work was put into it.
Well made, definitely fun and interesting.
Nice graphics and inclusion of audio. The transition/refresh of the level could use more of a warning I think.
Fun game and I like the graphics and audio. The difficulty is a bit too much at three cops without introducing some new mechanic to deal with it, as I was sitting there for about 5 minutes before the eye went away just to get one guy.
I think for the purpose of the Jam the time should be on a minute or at least hourly basis.
Great graphics for the it and decent gameplay. I felt it was a bit short. Audio is definitely something to think about next time around even if its just stuff you pull from elsewhere.
Definitely unique, the boing does get tiring after awhile with how long it takes to whittle them down.
I was put off a bit by the character's sprite clinging to walls and being upside down. The core mechanics are neat though.
So sad, I like the game. Nice work with pretty much everything. Control listing and a better menu would be my recommendation for improvement.
Amazing work, it was pretty fun to play and looks great.
The game is fun, audio good, and the graphics are good as well. The difficulty of the puzzle escalates a bit much for the one with the blue key on the left and the two dogs.
Great update to an old kind of game. I'm not a big fan of the sound but the game is neat. More of a monster is the red pebbles were people too.
Zombies sooo slow. Those bullets are pretty hard to dodge. I think it's a nice little game though.
I think with time it could turn into a nice bullet hell game, just need to find something to make it stand out above the others. You have the bare bones just needs the polish.
I think the enemies are a little too honed in, but it would be fine if the crates dropped health. I also found that after getting the electric buff that it pretty much never went away.
Neat game, I like that you didn't make it take a million clicks to get through but rather quick and simple. As some others have said I think more upgrades would be good, and definitely more dialogue.
Really well made game, the combos are fun and I feel it is well thought out with the spacing of saves and moon areas.
Interesting game, if not ironic that the monster turns into a clicker too.
Neat game, I think it could of used a menu and restart screen but it plays well and is fun. Nice non-distracting audio too.
I really like the Flame town, so easy to please, just keep roasting them like marshmallows.
Solid base, just needs that extra polish.
Interesting game, definitely needs that win screen though otherwise you feel like it bugged out.
Fun game, I like that it's replayable and allows options.
Fun game and looks well designed, the only missing thing would probably be an exit menu.
Excellent graphics and sound. I find I get stuck on the terrain a lot but it's still pretty good.
Great graphics and idea, but getting killed in one shot is a bit much unless the idea is to avoid them completely.
Good game overall, I had an enemy spawn between two rocks and couldn't get to it so that might be a bug.
Simple but I love it. The controls are smooth and the artwork is good, but I'm also a fan of pixel art. Only thing missing is a soundtrack.
I found it to be a little easy, since after the enemy got stuck in a wall and I got some distance he stopped trying to get to me and I was free to eat all the people forever.
A little too easy but I think if it were given more time for development it could be very cool. Audio and graphics are nice.
The missing sound and I think missing powerups detract from it a bit. Definitely follows the theme and I like the graphics. The monster is painfully slow, but good weapon reach that is accurate.
Really like the game, audio is great and the game has a small message for the player.. I mean monster.
I feel it is a little hard to control, but it is neat.
Fun game, I'm not even sure how to lose though to be honest.
I like this game a lot. There are a few performance problems with the magnet but other than that really fun.
Found I couldn't trust my eyes for a few of the jumps, but I like how it eases you into the new stuff instead of just tossing you into a room with 50 things. Audio adds to the atmosphere.
Really neat idea for a story.
Sponge-like effect of sticking to surfaces was a bit funny, made the star level a bit annoying. Fun enough but could of used a bit of audio and it didn't seem much like a weapon, even an unconventional one.
I feel like I have no clue what's going on but it's working. I liked it.
I only really used the plant and used the doorway as a bottleneck. Most of the AI seemed to just wander instead of trying to escape. Overall pretty good though.
Fun game, got stuck a few times though and didn't see any way to reset the level.
Only problem I have with it is the projectiles going through physical barriers. Fits the theme really well.
The most fun part of this game is trying to see how fast you can get that thing spinning, and that is extremely fun. Definitely unconventional too with how hard it is to get used to as a weapon and that it can kill you too.
A little hard to control but I like the idea of it.
Simple but fun, the guidelines for the holes is really helpful.
The audio is awesome. Gameplay could use some more work but nice job for a one day thing.
Game is a bit laggy. I had to come back here and read how things work, could of used a brief instruction display.
This is really cool, chef version of Magicka.
I honestly couldn't find the prison, looped around a bit and probably flew past it a lot haha. Either way it seems solid enough.
Overall pretty good as a whole. Major complaint would be the excruciatingly slow stamina regeneration. If you fail it takes forever to try again. A reset button would greatly improve gameplay frustration.
Fun game and really well made. It is not that difficult though as long as you are careful.
Checked it out because of Filthy Frank reference, it was a good laugh. Only complaint really is ammo is scarce, round 3 or 4 I ran out even without missing many shots at all.
Love everything about it.
The close zoom of the intro kind of hurts my eyes a bit but other than that pretty good game.
The aiming is a little weird but other than that it is pretty fun. The graphics are simple but don't detract from it at all. The audio is really good.
Pretty cool game, I'd really suggest a different button combination for run and backwards though as it's hard to keep an eye on stuff and switch between those two keys, or I guess I'm just not used to that setup.
This reminds me of that game that came out not too long ago called Screencheat. I don't have much to complain about here other than that there isn't a singleplayer with AI.
Really well done.
The main problems I had would be the audio isn't that appealing. The egg throwing sound gets crazy when you get a lot of turrets. The slow turret (penguin) should be cheaper too, felt like the early rounds were very unforgiving. The last thing being health and turret information.
Overall it's playable, fits the theme, and is decently balanced gameplay wise.
I loved it. At first I wasn't quite sure how to control it or what I was really controlling but after a few tries I caught on. While it is a trap meant to kill it is an unconventional weapon to wield. The art was really well done too. Got a high score to prove I enjoyed it.

Game plays okay, only thing that I didn't really like is sometimes the doll wouldn't appear and thus get the character hurt and how slow the character walks.
Definitely would of helped the atmosphere of the game if you found some background music and a more nightmarish background.
Nice job besides that though.
Great concept, but the controls are a little weird. I found that the character doesn't face where you point him and since the mouse doesn't get locked in it's very distracting. The magnetic control is pretty random too.
Overall, pretty great concept just missing the fine tuning.
I like how smooth it plays and it has a difficulty increase the longer the round. Bowling ball is pretty unconventional as a weapon, so that's great.
The graphics were decent, better than the 2 pixel thin quickly made sprites, but I also couldn't tell what the thing was that you are hitting with bowling balls.
I think it would of been more enjoyable with some sound.

First 5/5 I've given this ldjam. Very solid game, you took one mechanic and really honed it into a fun game.

You can still get hurt while enemy is in their death animation. I like the aesthetics.
AntiVirus by zazz0000 2021-04-30T02:23:48Z ♥ 2
Neat game, the problem with a puzzle game for a jam is people will get stuck and just move on. You mentioned in another comment a guide, you'll want to make that very obvious because people will 100% skip reading anything. Nice job with the game, very unique.
Xylem and Phloem by OfficialCodeNMore 2021-04-30T02:15:41Z ♥ 1
This game may have some basic graphics but it is very fun. The mechanics being based in some element of science is really neat. I think this could definitely be turned into a full game.
Fetal Fury by Squidly 2021-04-30T01:57:18Z ♥ 0
Very good quality. It's amazing to see what a team can come up with in just a weekend. The gameplay by itself is not complex but has some good polish, the audio and graphics really bring it together though.

Parody of Hotline Miami. It has a lot of content for a game jam entry. The enemies seemed to have a bit too much health in some cases, but very fun.
Depth-First Search by lpghatguy 2021-04-29T03:52:31Z ♥ 3
The upgrades are very noticeable. I had fun playing this one, it definitely doesn't feel like a game jam game in that it feels more complete. Well done.

The game is on theme and is fun. These fall games were super popular with flash games and even some mobile ones.
Coffin Drop by cdunham 2021-04-29T03:23:44Z ♥ 1
Interesting game. The respawn for the zombies was way too fast. By the time you kill the hoard following you, open the grave, throw your gun, pick up a shovel, kite the hoard that just respawned, switch tools again, kill, switch tools, and bury, everything is respawned with additional ones thrown in.

Game was very short. I think I took longer trying to figure out how to start the game than it took to get to the end. It's easy to run out of time on these game jams but you did finish with something playable.
Fever Dream by RAFFE 2021-04-28T01:25:18Z ♥ 2
Really nice game. I got a blue ribbon, just barely. The flying speed seems a bit too difficult to maneuver to the next ring in time, but it was still something unique.
Bundt Man by bubbadubc 2021-04-28T01:13:53Z ♥ 2
Solid game, the audio and animations really make it pop. The gameplay itself is basic, but there was some challenge to a few of the rooms. I was really surprised to see how many levels there were. The only critique I'll make is the hit detection times are a little hard to figure out but it does ease you into the more difficult ones.
Descending by khofez 2021-04-27T23:33:34Z ♥ 2
Amazing job for a weekend project. The game gave me Castlevania vibes from the appearance. The combat mechanics all work, some enemies seemed to be a bit more difficult than others to kill. The nightmare horse looked like a magic doorway since it wasn't moving so walked right into it.
Inferno Dominus by Klyaddus 2021-04-27T23:05:41Z ♥ 2
Looks like time was an issue. I can see the various game elements that were intended. I can't speak for teams but as a solo dev it's important to get something playable as soon as possible. It definitely seems like your team was close to getting a win/lose state added.
