An interesting take on the theme. The implementation of the music was especially great. I'm really glad to see more LD games take this sort of unusual direction, breaking away from the traditional model of what counts as a "game". Kudos!
I think the concept you tried to tackle was quite a large one to try and turn into a game in 3 days, but you did an admirable job! I really liked the illustrations, and the way that the characters change over time is both subtle and believable. As a few other people have said, the game is really good at putting relationships across, and as I began to lose friends I felt gutted. Interesting entry, well done!
A great entry, really simple and addictive gameplay with well made sound and graphics. It's also probably the most polished entry I've played so far - it doesn't look like it was made in two days! Well done! :)
Neat idea for a game, cool entry!
Great entry! An interesting take on the theme with really fun, responsive platformer gameplay. The graphics and soundtrack are also really stylish.
I liked the way that the Cloud World switched things up from a maze game to a platformer, and that the maps corresponded to each other. I wasn't too keen on the music in the Bloom World but everywhere else it seemed to work.
Really great concept for a game, executed well with simple gameplay but a well balanced difficulty. And the art is really well done!
Really interesting twine, I like your writing style a lot.
My favourite entry so far. Really well written, and I thought the red/yellow/green mechanic was really interesting. A joy to play.
One of my fav games of LD so far - Unfortunately though the audio didnt seem to work for me. Still, great work!
The battle mechanics are confusing, but the weird drawings-on-sticks thing you have going on is probably the most interesting thing I've seen in LD30 graphics wise. So I guess good overall??? I definitely liked it.
Great mechanics, clever puzzle gameplay and - most importantly - a good difficulty curve. Great game!
My only criticism is that pit/lava deaths seem unfair because you die as soon as you get near them. But that's splitting hairs, this is really well done and really fun!
I thought the wireframes were a really nice aesthetic touch, and the whole game has a great atmosphere to it! My only criticisms would be that the movement is a little slow, but apart from that, this was a fun game!
Good concept well executed. The visuals in particular are really well done as they convey all the info the player needs about the state of the game board really simply. Would have liked a way to reverse one or two moves per game to help get out of unwinnable states without having to restart the whole level, but on the whole an excellent little puzzle game!
Interesting, challenging but fun half-puzzle half-adventure game!
Really enjoyable, small game. Looks good, plays pretty well and I like the level design a lot.

The Great Debate by MiniBobbo 2015-05-03T18:25:00
I liked this entry. The use of secret scoring systems was a clever twist, though I think it should have been made more explicit in the game itself. Liked the visuals and music as well.
Ring Retorter by zatyka 2015-04-22T14:31:00
Really great entry - nice implementation of the core mechanic!
Hugline Miami by Figglewatts 2015-04-22T14:11:00
Really great entry with neat visuals and music! Navigating around tight corners was a bit frustrating at times but this was a really fun game overall!
Love Bomber - The Cult Simulator by Suese 2015-04-22T14:05:00
Really liked the art and music, and the gameplay was simple enough to pick up. Great entry!
Killin' It by shcromlet 2015-04-22T14:02:00
Interesting take on the theme, though I was never quite sure what was going on!
SNIFF by dyfer 2015-04-22T13:59:00
Loved the visual effects and the base concept! I felt that there could have been a better explanation of some of the drug's effects
Hitchhiker's Tales by Tangible Games 2015-04-22T13:53:00
A fun, challenging game once you get a handle on the controls. I liked the pixel aesthetic as well. Nice entry!
Good Morning by RandomSpark 2015-04-22T13:45:00
Not sure how it relates to the theme, but I thought this was a well made, cute little game. Liked the art as well - good entry!
Glatto Boy by hellforge 2015-04-22T13:41:00
Platforming was a little frustrating, but apart from that it was an interesting and fun game. Really loved the visuals as well.
Machine Mayhem by peterkirk 2015-04-22T13:36:00
Really great concept well implemented, with some good level design and challenge to boot. Great entry!
GAMUBòRU GUMBALL!! by Robber 2015-04-22T13:33:00
Well made gameplay and visuals, though I wish there was something to do with it! Might also be a good idea to keep the camera a little further away from the truck so the player can see more.
Space Boy by Hyoga-3D 2015-04-22T13:26:00
Neat entry with some really great visuals.
Slam Jam Bakery by DragonXVI 2015-04-21T22:12:00
Fantastic entry! Really fun and well thought out implementation of the core mechanic.
SUPER BRO THROW by SinclairStrange 2015-04-21T22:07:00
Great polish and sense of humour. Great entry!
Velo-City by TeamEagle 2015-04-21T22:01:00
Not sure how it relates to the theme, but this was a really well made and entertaining entry! Loved the implementation of the leaderboard.
A nice Day in the Park by Polyganz 2015-04-21T15:36:00
Wish there'd been a bit of music, but asides from that this game was really interesting! Nice entry
ICE CREAM by little_polygon 2015-04-21T15:31:00
Controls could do with fine-tuning, but this is a really fun, polished entry nonetheless! Great work! :)
Genemon by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-04-21T15:24:00
Amazing looking game, really impressed with the level of polish. A really great concept well executed, would love to see an expanded post-LD version!
Town Is Mine by camlang 2015-04-21T15:09:00
Well polished, interesting game. Not sure how it fits the theme, but it was fun anyway! Could be really impressive with some post-LD expansion and fine tuning! Good entry! :)
Conversion by LabOne 2015-04-21T15:00:00
Really liked the direction of the art style, and changing the furniture into different things was fun!
CurseMan by sbarrio 2015-04-20T21:13:00
The weird graphics work well enough in the game's favour, and the core concept is pretty funny.
Flail Rider by jushii 2015-04-20T21:10:00
Brilliant, really fun game! One of my favourites so far! Great job :)
An Apple A-Day by OmarShehata 2015-04-20T21:04:00
Really impressively well polished! I think the waves could come out faster, though, to save the player running back and forth around the map. Also, the player sprite disappears upon replay. Nice entry!
Unconventional Time by OccamsRazor 2015-04-20T21:00:00
Clever mechanic, reasonably well executed with some neat puzzles. Nice entry!
Hatchet Harry by JokerDen 2015-04-20T20:54:00
Really polished entry with fun gameplay - great job!
L.O.V.E by sputnik 2015-04-20T20:45:00
One of my favourite entries! Certainly the best looking I've seen so far, and I really like the Metroidvania-feel to the gameplay. Well done! :)
Power of Djent by Rubel 2015-04-20T20:38:00
Neat entry. I really liked the implementation of music in the gameplay. Criticisms are that the enemies don't reset upon player death, and that the controls felt clumsy sometimes.
Pizzocalypse by mystakin 2015-04-20T20:35:00
Ha! This was a fun entry. Plus it made me hungry.
The Legend of the Yo-Yo Salesman by seankimdesign 2015-04-20T20:32:00
This was a fun entry - wish there was more to it, health in particular would have added a challenge. But a good first LD! (And don't worry about the shortness, we all know what that's like! :P)
Not Nice Knight by Nebulaic Toaster 2015-04-20T20:00:00
One of the better uses of theme I've seen. Really liked the writing - great entry!
Calling Mr. Blacksmith by Junber 2015-04-20T19:52:00
Interesting use of ASCII, nice to see that kind of variety! This was a real challenge - I got swarmed by enemies before I could afford to make a weapon the first time. But a neat entry! :)
Umbrellespionage by Ilseroth 2015-04-20T19:47:00
Really fun, one of my favourite entries!
Geisterblut by nuprahtor 2015-04-20T19:40:00
Great atmosphere, amazing music, one of my favourite entries so far!
Rainbow Tank by ManicMiner 2015-04-20T19:33:00
Great first entry, really fun and simple gameplay!
Block pushy zoom-zoom! by BearishMushroom 2015-04-20T19:25:00
Tough but really satisfying gameplay, and great visuals!
SLICK LICKER by DKoding 2015-04-20T19:19:00
Great concept, I really liked the main mechanic! A solid entry :)
Diȼe by Tselmek 2015-04-20T19:15:00
Great visuals and an interesting concept, though apart from pressing space for the dice results there's not too much for the player to do. Some music would have been nice as well, BUT - this is a great first entry, well done! :)
HALLAWAY by benmcnelly 2015-04-20T19:12:00
Great entry! Really interesting concept and it looks great. Nice to have a slower paced game in the LD
Fireman Pissaro by AnimeGeek32 2015-04-20T19:05:00
It was appropriate that I was drinking for this. Nice entry!
Dream Extension Finger by NAL 2015-04-20T18:57:00
Probably my favourite entry so far. Really really fun, well paced, satisfying gameplay. Great work!
Trustworthy Chef by tcarter 2015-04-20T18:54:00
Download is bad :/
Gift Of The Gods by MightyToast 2015-04-20T18:48:00
Good entry, fun and simple, and I love the voice over!
Unconventional Boxing by randomJammer 2015-04-20T18:44:00
Neat entry - a little easy, but a really fun and simple concept!
Hold Space To Fart by talecrafter 2015-04-20T18:42:00
GAMES ARE ART
Doll Quest, Bad Brother Beatdown by JaJ 2015-04-20T18:38:00
Really great game! I love the aesthetic and the difficulty. Well done!
Yoyokidz by Noxlof 2015-04-20T18:34:00
Great entry! Really fun and simple to play, though enemies do tend to get stuck in the bottom right hand corner.
The War Dog by Xinelu 2015-04-20T18:30:00
Really liked the use of music, though I did notice that the two paths at the beginning lead to the same place, which undermines that choice. Great atmosphere, well done!
Terrornado by xbcw 2015-04-20T17:17:00
This was fun! I actually thought the graphics worked really well stylistically as well.
Girl from the north country by Muffin 2015-04-20T17:12:00
Always glad to see an IF entry!
Technical errors aside, I thought this was good. My only big concern was that the ending seemed to come out of nowhere - suddenly there's this revenge scene where before the story was more morose in tone. I did like how the choice at the ending, with there not being a "canonical" or "correct" ending.
