Unstable Load by Jerem Watts 2021-10-12T16:07:54Z ♥ 0
Very solid, relatively polished game. The music really immersed me into game, the sound effect gave me the feeling of impact in the stage, it makes every bullet and tank destruction felt across the screen. The voiceover is literally a cherry on the top of the game and the fact that it clearly conveys what the game wants you to do makes it probably one of my favourites of this jam. The 2D pixel graphic only adds onto it, the upgrades are balanced enough that even if you're stocked, you can still die by accident, so really good job on the balancing part.
There's only maybe 2 things I could say about this. More variety of tanks like a light tank for example that moves faster than the regular ones, or a slow one with more hitpoints, when the announcer said "I have a bad feeling about this", the platform disappeared which shocked me the first time, but what you can do is make that a random event happening as opposed to just the platform disappearing such as increased health points or speed on the tanks, or you suddenly losing all your upgrades for the duration of the round. Those are just among some of the randomness that could add to the "unstable" theme of this game. But yea, other than that, very good job on the jam!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-06T23:35:24Z ♥ 1
Cool idea, nice title insertion as you blow up. What's really great about this game is the arcade style that it derives from. The font, the art style, the playstyle, it all fits in as if it's a game made in the 80s. Just need more bomb variations, maybe big bomb destroys more tile, small bomb destroys less, all dependent on timer. And that's it! Good jam entry, hope to see you in the next one.
Diamond in the Rough by ProdigalSon 2022-04-06T23:23:17Z ♥ 2
simple yet intriguing game that took me half an entire play time to get used the actual mechanic - placing sand in the pot so things don't sink under. I actually don't have much suggestion other than more levels and more floor pattern designs, so good job!
Zom-Beware! by adam-gould 2022-04-06T23:15:13Z ♥ 1
Could use some QoL improvements like skipping directly to wave, also more ways to spend cash, as well as more zombie variants (ranged for example). More ways to spend cash during the zombie hoard would be nice. But great game for a compo!
Erefos by exopunk 2022-04-06T22:50:12Z ♥ 4
I wish more more levels, and that's all the suggestions that I have - oh and boss fight to cap things off would've made this game a gem in the ludum dare amongst many.
Giraffe o'Clock by Kepsert 2022-04-06T22:32:38Z ♥ 2
Spedrun the game in like idk 13-15minutes! Great level design, absolutely nailed the music and soundtrack because I don't think any object or enemy in the game is missing any sound except the timer (caught you). I haven't ran into any bugs whatsoever so that's polished game in a ludum 72 hour jam, kudos! Lots of great humour thrown around in the dialogues, especially to do with modern zoomer cultures. The best thing about this game is that bugs can be a "feature" to help you speed run a game! But great work for a 72 hour jam, looking forward to the next one.
Stallar by Wendel Scardua 2022-04-06T21:36:40Z ♥ 1
Just need more variance in level design, more enemies, and this is a perfect game. I had fun playing it and discovering that there are more levels after the goal and the goal seemed awfully short for something you can absolutely jump over. Great game, had lots of fun, good job!

0.06%, actually sad it refuses to die. I thought I had it, except it's always I thought I had it until I died. 10/10 game, would be great to have some BGM inside the game, a time stamp would be great as well for death time (how long you survived). Oh and a Master Sound Effect slider!
overRUN by Kaleido 2022-04-06T21:01:10Z ♥ 0
Interesting Idea, unfortunately slightly repetitive - also the SFX is too loud that I have to my browser audio to a very low just make it playable. But other than that, nice RTS game in 72 hours. I do find the game very easy once you have some troop stationed because the zombies doesn't enter the buildings at all. Maybe add a new zombie variant that can break down door and can occupy a house. This probably would only spawn when half the civilians are evacuated, and this should give you more priority on stationing troops on the exterior to protect the inner civilians that are stil safe while you're ferrying the troops across.
JUNKER by BackwardsCap 2022-04-06T20:43:36Z ♥ 0
I have about 10000 score but one thing I have issue which might be a me problem - it's the fact that I have a bad sense of direction and I kept forgetting where everything is every now and then, plus I spent a lot of energy for barely any increase in altitude (which might just be me spamming Q and E way too fast) But other than that, it's a decent game.
Carpe Diem by Pomo 2022-04-06T20:23:06Z ♥ 1
Great music, great gameplay, great madge on stream 10/10 when can I go on the leaderboard y dis game hard. Jokes aside, make the moon chase you faster because it's not very apparent that it chasing you ending the game is delaying the inevitable. Although technically the level theme and design reflects that of the next day is always inevitable going from the morning to dusk and to daybreak (hint, new stage name instead of sunrise that sounded boring lmao).
The Final Day by Very Bad Bunny Studio 2022-04-06T19:36:00Z ♥ 1
I thought I was ready for the boss - I wasn't. The boss had a fair bit of stat that I didn't expect, which is often a good thing, really surprised me that I do not have enough defense to even tank it. That said, unfortunately I wasn't able to fight the boss because you can spam enter which is what I like to do with my rpg in general and behold, bug. It basically softlocked me from being able to play the game because the dialogue just doesn't progress anymore. Still very good game for a jrpg fan like me who enjoys grinding the life away, good job on making the compo despite the bugs!
Eye Fly by Koolruz 2022-04-06T19:02:51Z ♥ 1
Great game! 10/10 would go madge for the last level again. Just need a death counter, a timer, and a BGM and you probably would have a polished steam greenlight game! The physics are perfectly balanced, the inputs are clear and defined, the collectibles/power ups/obstacles are also well defined that no matter how bad your eye sight is you can still make it out.
Fifty Dollar Smash by Benjamin Gare 2022-04-06T18:27:59Z ♥ 1
Using score as an ammunition would be a greater idea to emphasize on the theme of delay the inevitable, could use a simple math formula to change the movement of enemies up a bit, more variation of gun types would be cool. Also a simple background sound would definitely improve the mood a lot more for a simple 2d shooter game with arrow controls. But other than that, good job on making it bug free!
Ludare OS by foxwater 2022-04-05T21:02:57Z ♥ 1
I have 54 in Score and I think I did pretty well, really good game, the fact that you were able to ru nthis on a gameboy is really impressive. While the theme definitely felt simpler just like the general entries of this ludum dare, the rest of the game definitely made that not as noticeable - especially not when the game can also be educational in its own right.
Quota Qrunch by macs 2022-04-05T20:47:01Z ♥ 3
5/10 would fail my daily quota again, fun game, very fast and hectic but gets more and more difficult as time goes on, until you wake up one day and you're actually working for a certain company that everyone relies on.
The Railroad to Elsewhere by Save Sloth Studios 2022-04-05T20:32:25Z ♥ 1
Tells a very deep story about someone's personality at the end of the life. Many different meaning can be extracted from this game depending on your POV. One thing that stood out is the slight depressing tone throughout as you walk past the cabins. It's a great experience for sure.
Board to DEATH by nsadie 2022-04-05T20:17:23Z ♥ 1
I don't have enough braincell to solve one level but the rest is fire, I enjoyed playing through all the stage because it genuinely stimulated my non-existent braincell. It's a great game based on the theme of death being inevitable presented in a physical form with a story told through filling the board with chess.
Message in a Bottle by hechi 2022-04-05T19:53:45Z ♥ 1
Beautiful graphic, wonderful ambient, funny memes. 10/10 would submit deez nut jokes over again. Jokes aside, it's a really relaxing, chill game where you submit a message throw out, then read others messages. You might find a sob story, you might find gold, you might find memes (as if memes aren't gold). But it's an incredible experience to play a bunch of ludum games, get your thoughts out by playing this, and then go back to rating others!
Planet Hopper by Adam Gallina 2022-04-05T19:35:42Z ♥ 2
It's an immersive game with the right diffculty balanced for all types of players. The resource you get definitely feel right for the duration you play on the game. However, Hard mode could definitely be harder - by increasing the amount of Uranium you need for warp drive. It has simple approach - gather uranium in preparation for the mothership, gather resource to upgrade and repair, and if the mothership comes, you just have warp away. So fairly indepth game loop, I enjoyed it, good job!
Lava Hop by BarelyEvenGames 2022-04-05T19:12:03Z ♥ 1
A simple gameplay loop with a cute parallax background to distract you from you being bad at the game because you can't seems to get good at jumping on those bubbles - Still a good game, would recommend trying it - my highest score is 43 but some people said they went as high as 200 and even over 1000s so I'm curious to see how people did it.
Time, Commander? by Jesús González 2022-04-05T18:58:35Z ♥ 1
Loving the theme, the lack of UI sound and transition didn't affect any of the gameplay and I had lots of fun playing it - One thing you could definitely do is to add a UI or some kind of text to showcase how you can control the time because I didn't use that time option on the top left until like second or third stage. But other than that, great game!

It simply needs to improve on Early game, and you pretty much got a solid foundation for a great survival genre game!
Horde of Methuselah by mrjeremy 2022-04-05T02:00:49Z ♥ 1
No matter what I do I still couldn't find the right combination of building to start with that lets me survive long enough before zombies reaching into my sphere to destroy it. Definitely need some rebalancing because the end of the game while can be long, it isn't all that much fun. I definitely sunk a lot of time into it, but I don't see a clear strategy to overcome the horde without running out of food or having enough material to build enough barracks, because some maps are actually impossible to play with even with a barrack protecting them, mainly because the Barrack troops just don't react strong enough against the zombies which led to zombies running over a building (killing it in the process) despite the guard barrack being literally 10-20 tiles away, and therefore less resource, eventually lead to death.
