Bob Ross Adventure by Goutye 2018-04-25T13:41:55Z

:( tried to play, but couldn't get ti going, tried both html and the windows link. shame looks good :) and i love bob ross haha

Alida of Arx by jsmars 2018-04-25T12:10:48Z

ok :) so i played through the whole thing, i think i got the bad ending with the spell.. oops.. over all i liked it a lot. i thought that the puzzle with gathering ingredients for the potion could have been drawn out a bit more... like you could have had to get the water from the fountain that you have to figure out how to get working again. i didn't manage to get through the locked door either :( but i liked the art and the setting was really good. some of the voice acting is a bit choppy, some words got missed out on some of the lines, but it was good. a nice addition, although some dialogue was quieter than others. and some sounded like it was recorded in a different area that was more echoey. theres really nothing bad to say about it :) a solid entry although i don't think it meets the theme as it is just a point and click adventure game. but its still good :)

Guardian Kittens by Pedro Romero 2018-04-24T21:10:40Z

Not a bad idea, kind of reminds me of root beer tapper but with cats! However, I found the clicking mechanic to be more tedious than reactive and fun. And whilst the cats were awake, some of them wouldn't stop the dogs and they took the tuna anyway.

Zeus Fever by ret44 2018-04-24T23:00:38Z

HAHA loved the intro, the humour was really good, i like the mix of puzzle and tower defense, but i had a problem, playing on Chrome the waves were invisible!!!! so i couldnt see what was coming. so i died a few times ont he first wave :( but despite that, the potential is strong in this one so it gets a high rating from me :)

Huber Driver by ema1ih 2018-04-24T20:24:26Z

i tried to use the mobile phone, accepted a person pick up, but then nothing happened.. it didn't say where i needed to go?

Huber Driver by ema1ih 2018-04-25T09:58:46Z

@ema1ih thats the thing, the app didn't tell me where to pick up the customer :( darn it i wanna see that plot twist!!!! haha i'll try again :)

Left For Bait by fidrik 2018-04-24T23:03:42Z

:( i couldn't get it to play. using google chrome.

Left For Bait by fidrik 2018-04-24T23:04:22Z

OH WAIT ITS WORKING NOW :( aww nope it crashed on me... will have to try on another computer when i can! i'll book mark it :)

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T12:19:35Z

@Keppu thanks so much for the feedback :) i've added it to our feedback document for reference :) (we hope to continue to tweak and refine Harvest Doom and this kind of feedback really helps so much)

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T13:37:18Z

@Yozamu wow thanks! :) maybe you'll see it on steam one day :P we had plans for other features, one was that you could visit a shop, and talk to the villagers to form relation ships and do extra missions, bringing it more inline with the harvest moon tie in. but we ran out of time for that haha. future goals :) thanks for your feedback!

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T22:41:22Z

@benbusby hey :) the requests do stay visible :) they are in the top right of the screen :) :D thank you so much for playing

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T22:50:50Z

@Wassim i will try your game. laptop i'm on at the mo is a bit crap and is refusing to run it :( will try when i get to my proper PC :)

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T23:21:59Z

@croewens yeah destroying your own stuff was a fail safe incase you built yourself into a wall etc. but the attack is on our list to move to a seperate button too :) we really ran out of time at the end to tweak :P thanks so much for playing

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-24T23:59:06Z

@NoahRo haha thanks bud, yes java script isn't the most forgiving for this kind of project. but congrats on getting to wave 39! really glad you had fun :) we've spoken about making some post additions, as there were features we had to cut due to time, but hopefully we can add those in at some point :) i need to buy my friend a few beers first :) he worked very hard to get the game running as well as it does :) thank you so much for playing :)

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-25T12:26:13Z

@BlakeMcDeezy don't worry, i'm bad at it too lol :P

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-27T16:42:26Z

@fanatrick yeah unfortunately there wasn't much time left for stress testing :P we hope to fix this soon. you can get around the lag by limiting towers at the moment. i managed to complete the game with 2 arrow towers and 2 flame towers 2 magic towers and a doom tower. and of course strategic placement of fences etc. but yes we are aware of the issues :) thanks for playing though! :) :D

Harvest Doom by Fiote 2018-04-27T16:44:50Z

@Ryunos yeah it was little word play haha :P the reason behind destroying towers was for something we really didn't have time to implement lol. but it basically ensures that players can't accidently build a tower and trap themselves. in future updates we hope to fix a lot of issues :P but for the sake of the jam thats where we got to in 72 hours. :) thanks for playing!

Keyboard Army by PeachTreeOath 2018-04-24T14:22:02Z

not being a card game player, i dont' understand the lane system? if ive got a card recruited then what does changing the lane actually do? I didn't feel it was clear in that respect as to what was doing damage, or why i was taking damage etc. also i'm not that fast at typing so i managed to get passed level one.. but not two lol. basically i'm sure everyone else is right in saying this game is great... i guess i just suck at it haha.

Schankboi by lexi 2018-04-24T23:13:32Z

ok so i really like this games charm, its a little rough around the edges though, the beer glass got stuck for me :( and don't EVER press the Up arrow key... the tavern lad will enter ORBIT! :P but a few tweaks and this would be a really cool taver simulator :) nice work!!!!!

Platform Breaker by Zyuxis 2018-04-24T22:38:51Z

i really enjoyed this :) with a little more work it could really be something! adding more puzzles in, loved the way i could use the paddle as a platform too :) very well done, and all the while soothing with a nice choice of music :) great job mate.

Dance Invader by Alcarendor 2018-04-24T21:05:42Z

pretty good, the stick man looks out of place though , and i found that the 2 yellow colours were too difficult to tell apart and i made a lot of mistakes with that. and i'm not sure why the beam requires 3 to fully charge when you use it once i couldn't use it again until i got another orb... and space junk!!! omg space junk taking all the charge! mean :P

The Waiting Room by Rayne 2018-04-24T23:47:11Z

an original idea. but i think its a little TOO out there for me haha :) well done for hooking peoples curiosity though :) success.

My little secret (by Rapter and NomadFox) by Rapter 2018-04-24T21:18:33Z

Nice twist on a dating sim. Super creepy atmosphere throughout! User interface could have been worked on a little but it wasn't too off putting in the overall scheme of things. Artwork was attractive too.

Feel free to check out my game :) : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom

Caves Of Mimicry by MZA 2018-04-24T23:28:55Z

I couldn't figure out the blocks :( i wasn't really sure how to get them to move where i wanted to :( trying to match 3 but then some blocks just dissapeared into other colours and i wasn't sure why... maybe its just me :P lol liked the sound though, and the little jingle that kicks in when the cave blacks out is cool :)

Alchemist Adventure by Keppu 2018-04-24T12:26:11Z

i really like the trial and error style here, i liked learning and figuring out the best ways to progress! not too keen on the music and the dungeons would benefit from some more detailed graphics to get the mood and atmosphere better. but the gameplay here is solid! fun! and very well thought out! :)

Five Iron Frenzy by Brandon Anderson 2018-04-25T09:41:03Z

Hahaha, the title Five Iron Frenzy is great, also the name of a band i like :) the concept reminds me of OUTLAW golf where you can beat up your opponants haha :) good fun :) tad hard, but fun none the less.

Pong 'Em Up ! by MrSchlag2 2018-04-24T20:31:46Z

simple, elegant, well made, bang on theme :) good job! only thing that lets it down is some cool sound effects. would have been the cherry on the top

'Meme'bumps by Chetan pant 2018-04-24T16:30:37Z

i wouldn't say this is on theme.. as memes aren't really a type of game. great sound though, felt as though i could navigate through without being detected.... i assume that was the point? to not get caught buy the memes? it was ok, but if there was an end goal i couldn't find it. i kinda feel like the graphics wer'nt really worth adding in, you could probably have saved some time and just left the screen blank the whole time lol.

Paddle Pals by Mors 2018-04-25T15:44:07Z

astounding work! :) really great game to play! really well made, i got a bit confused at certain points, like breaking the glass above the button on level 2 took me a while to figure out but i got there in the end. musics great too! :)

Medieval Melody Mayhem by NoahRo 2018-04-25T00:02:58Z

over all this just compounded for me that i am in fact an utter failure at typing... :( lol i suck at the game :) not bad though, nice design, does what it sets out to do well :) great stuff :)

Happy Harvest by Ziamor 2018-04-24T09:16:01Z

love the simplistic style, although i think he looks far too happy considering his farm is freekin haunted by some nasty ghosts..... and slenderman? haha. nice I had a little trouble placing the crops, kept over shooting the placement box but overall it was a nice walk in the dark :) would like to see it with the other features implemented :) great stuff.

S.H.A.F.T by TIMOTHEUS-25 2018-04-25T12:20:40Z

haha really good job on this! got to wave 5, gonna be trying this again! :) loved switching between the bat and the pistol. the pistol fires instantly when selected but the bat has a delay, which i don't know if was intentional but it added a nice little bit of strategy :) as for the theme, i guess its cutness mashed with evil cute murder? lol not really sure it fits the mashing of two game mechanics. but i'm not gonna be too strict :P it was fun and i really enjoyed it! great entry!

Sneak To The Rhythm by BlakeMcDeezy 2018-04-25T12:25:41Z

haha i liked groovy snake :P fun concept, however i think it would have been more challenging if you could move off beat as well and that would alert the enemies too. but maybe you could add that as a hard mode :P well done :)

Spiky by Cristhor98 2018-04-24T21:57:25Z

really well made, played from beginning to the end :) loved how the puzzles were designed and really made me think. matched the theme very well and was over all a joy to play. my highest rated ludum dare game so far! :)

please check out our game if you have time! :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom

Erglow by benbusby 2018-04-24T22:48:42Z

wow what a game! had me laughing out loud! really enjoyed this one! very creative, loved the narration loved the dilemmas... and man that exile ending is harsh :P brilliant work.

Corn Wars LD (Farming-Shooter) by Firesplash Entertainment 2018-04-25T13:38:54Z

well.. they certainly are two incompatible game types lol. i was expecting something to come and attack or steal my crops lol. not bad, some more varied sounds would have been good and picking up each crop individually was a little tedious. but its well explained and i didn't get stuck not knowing what to do :)

Lord have mercy by jac_B 2018-04-24T22:18:52Z

i like this :) simple fun, only thing missing is some sweet sound effects :) but thanks for making me feel like Daryl from the walking dead :)

check out our game too if you can :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom

Beat Boxer by jaredmercer 2018-04-24T11:00:09Z

not a fan of the music haha :P but i like the idea and the title "beat boxer" my only crit is that it seems like i do much less damage to the other character than he does to me if i miss lol... also i'm pretty bad at rhythm games :) also i would say its important to play to your strengths so maybe making a music based game wasn't the best idea :P but it would be cool to see it working with some better tracks :)

oh and i also had the issue of the screen being a little cut off on the left. playing on PC on Chrome.

Fish Fights by philippkick 2018-04-24T20:00:54Z

nice idea, but i think its a little too easy for the fish to get caught.

KEYBOARD WARRIOR by croewens 2018-04-24T23:20:19Z

really liked this! sure its a simple "twin stick shooter" but i do like the different keys and the ammo count down to the key changes :) nice work! a little too basic on the art side, would have been nice if you'd got some sound fx in there for the gun :) over all good fun! :)

Transcribable Survival by Wugbor 2018-04-24T10:38:42Z

yeah i get how to move around, but i can't do anything else, how do i mine the rocks? or trees? etc. :)

Transcribable Survival by Wugbor 2018-04-24T13:18:58Z

@Wugbor ok I'll try again :)

Transcribable Survival by Wugbor 2018-04-24T13:57:04Z

@Wugbor ok so after learning how to do everything i managed to do some more stuff. however i would say my typing skill isn't great. adding the ability to use N for north would be good.. and also adding the words up left right down as... in the heat of the moment i kept mixing up east and west... lol i think being able to say "use fence north" would be better than "equip fence" "use north" similar for potions, if you've crafted one i think just saying "use potion" would be better than having to equip it first. probably not a problem at all if your faster at typing............... basically i'm asking for an easy mode aren't I.. lol ive adjusted my ratings accordingly now that i've managed to experience the gaem as intended :)

Transcribable Survival by Wugbor 2018-04-24T15:04:03Z

@Wugbor oh yeah the first few minutes were fine.... then panic set in very quickly lol

Transcribable Survival by Wugbor 2018-04-24T15:05:02Z

whats the longest everyone has survived? :) i managed almost 6 minutes...... i know.... i know... terrible lol

Shady Cards by Yozamu 2018-04-24T13:35:17Z

I think the platforming was a bit too fast. I kept loosing control of where I wanted to jump too, its something I could get used to, but dipping the speed a little couldn't hurt. , only other thing was I felt the overall objective is a little lost, but its fun, well made, and I like that the different poker hands give you different power ups :) pretty cool! :) I like the character art and the colours too :) I think adding a more prominant reason to collect the chips would be beneficial.. even just a story anecdote like he needs to save his girl from an evil poker guru :P great work on the menus too and i liked that i could re map the keys :)

Nightmare Clicker by Merotar 2018-04-24T23:33:54Z

nice work, kinda has a tim burton feel to it. although i must admit i'm just not a fan of clicker games, this one made me feel like i was just clicking on everything when it lit up without much regard to strategy. i like the art style, and the music though :) so thumbs up for that :)

TimeStaar [Turn Based Bullet Hell] by NullCode 2018-04-24T23:43:55Z

you know... i figured this would be easy..... but it isn't lol rather than skillfully dodging, you kind of have to predict where those shots are goig, how far will they travel etc :) and most of the time i just clicked without paying attention and got blind sided by something i really shoud have seen! lol the only thing i would add, is perhaps a timer, force the player to make their plans within 7 seconds or something like that, would add some tension into it too :P great work though really nice!!! :) and really stuck with the theme well :)

Super Golf Zombie Survival 2018 by tokkiseul 2018-04-25T11:42:15Z

golf.PNG

i died not long after this! :P loved it :) really liked moving around, got my strategy of leaveing one zombie alive whilst i go harvest resources, then when there are large hoards i got into the habbit of firing one stone and two bits of wood. seemed most effective :) i like that the dead bodies stopped projectiles too, forced me to moove to get a better angle on the shambling dead! great use of the theme :) ONLY thing that let it down was sound. no sound :( would've been quite funny to hear those rocks bounding off the zombies heads. i also liked the comedic speech bubbles too :) most impressive. well done

Super Ice-Cream Roller Ultra by Probe31 2018-04-25T15:26:21Z

really great looking game :) found it SUPER hard to conbtrol lol. but after a while i got the hang of it and managed to deliver a few ice creams :P great work!

Guardian of the Depth by Animaster 2018-04-25T13:20:13Z

whilst i like the visuals, i found it hard to know what to do, i could only catch "broken fish" and i'm not sure what i was doing wrong, i don't understand the fishing mechanic :( but i do like the game, i think if it were polished a little more it would have been really nice :)

Deadly Coin Demo by John Timora 2018-04-24T22:05:04Z

it started well... then quickly went weird.. the gun sometimes fires, sometimes doesn't and for some reason the grappling hook wouldn't work.. just froze me in place then laughing skeletons killed me... also the end screen doesn't work so i had to force quit the game lol. needs a little more polish :) but i quite liked its strange atmosphere :)

check out our game too if you get chance :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/harvest-doom
