Ludum Dare Simluator by Phobos001 2018-04-22T17:29:51Z

I'm afraid the link doesn't seem to go anywhere :/

BeMused by Dixonary 2018-04-24T18:41:50Z

Thanks all! :)

@dragonslumber what problem(s) did I solve, out of interest? :)

BeMused by Dixonary 2018-04-26T20:35:52Z

@LucasMolina It's classical music by Mozart and Chopin which has been in the public domain for a long time. :)

BeMused by Dixonary 2018-04-26T22:13:30Z

@LucasMolina it's a reasonable point.

I'm not expecting to do well in the Audio category anyway in terms of the competition. But Audio design (not specifically the music, but the overall audio production) is something I would like to get better at and it's nice to find out how well / not-well i'm doing at that, so the ratings are useful for me. if (by some fluke) I do quite well in that category then i'll ask Mike to N/A my rank after the fact. :)

For the same reason that I'm not opting out of "graphics" despite using "third-party" artworks.

Fire and Stone by mango-malarkey 2018-04-24T15:50:57Z

I really liked the graphics used, the low poly style looks really nice especially in the browser. Some of the combat was a little hard to understand - I was never able to successfully kill a beaver :(

The turn-based mechanics seem to work well and the map reveal is cute!

Alien Sports by ferrandu91 2018-04-24T15:47:06Z

Interesting use of gravity! I wasn't quite sure how it decided when to switch games - maybe every time you scored a goal/try/etc would have worked as a mechanic?

Court Invaders by Robber 2018-04-25T19:14:18Z

The art style is fantastic, got a great retro feel to it. Concept of the game is great too, tight controls, little bit of a pain playing on a track pad though

Click Race by JustinM 2018-04-24T16:07:42Z

Cute! I like the graphical style, it all works together.

Some of the platforming is a little bit finnicky, especially since you're supposed to be a bird - some kind of glide mechanic would be nice so falling off isn't quite as punishing!

Type2Flap by Cedric Fey 2018-04-24T16:04:25Z

I think this is the most Fun(tm) I've had playing a game so far. I thought I had found a bug when I typed "flapppp" and kept flapping but the description says that's a recognised move.

Move tier list:

God Tier

* FLAPP - can be used to move like Flappy Bird except slower. Repeat as many times as needed. * DIVEE - essential for the quick under-over.

Mid Tier

* SPIT - can't really see how this one is beneficial when you can normally just fly over or under something. If there isn't room to fly around it then you were probably going to die anyway. * DASH - likewise, just FLAPP instead.

Flappy Tier

* FLAAP - Strictly worse than FLAPP. Does the same amount of flappage but isn't repeatable.

A Fistful of Shrooms by gdort 2018-04-24T16:33:28Z

Very cute game. A good implementation of an on-rails shooter, especially for the time frame. It's a bit annoying that you can get hit by enemies after moving from place to place, so you can't see them any more.

Well done!

Jump, Push, Match by ElGregos 2018-04-24T16:30:29Z

This game plays really well and the puzzles are interesting. I might have at some point accidentally held down X and skipped right to "Well done!" ;)

Jing & Jang delivery Co. by Sanguis 2018-04-24T16:20:47Z

There's sort of a real-time frogger vibe. Jin as a pretty easy time of it, most of the cars stop for him! (Though in real life there'd probably be some horn honking!) Poor old Jang.

Overall the game's not too difficult. The graphics are funny and consistent, and the music is very listenable. Good job!

Shuffle Climber by miroky 2018-04-28T16:20:35Z

Really cute game! I like the idea and it plays well. The audio and graphics are both lovely. Sometimes I felt a little bit constrained by the cards I was given, but that's all card games I guess! Great job :D

World Bender by aplite 2018-04-24T15:40:49Z

Interesting take on the "playing with perspective" idea!

Sadly the controls really did hamper some of the gameplay. Especially when making a platforming game, the ability to reposition yourself by small amounts is essential. It can get frustrating when you can see the solution to a puzzle but can't complete it because of the controls.

ASM Hell by vilix64 2018-04-24T16:36:44Z

Really interesting idea, and very well implemented. Being a programmer (as many of us are!), I don't often like taking my hands off the keyboard, so some keyboard commands for play/run would help with playability.

Great!

Puzzle Tower by NilC 2018-04-24T15:54:42Z

Really cute! The puzzle is a classic pipes-type thing and the tower-defense provides an interesting clock, since it requires you to get as many online as possible, as fast as possible. I was able to beat level 2 without turning on the final one or two cowboys.

Holding Aces: The Card Game Shoot-em-Up! by NerdyTea 2018-04-24T15:33:38Z

I'll take any excuse to listen to The Entertainer! ;)

I'll try to offer some useful feedback because you said it would be helpful: * The game is fairly fun and it plays quite well. * .Good use of camera lerp for multi-rooms, makes it feel quite polished. * Tightening up the player movement mechanics might have made the game feel quite a bit juicier. * Some of the graphics feel a little bit inconsistent, especially the shadows. I don't know if there's an option for "sharp" shadows in unity? * The font is quite hard to read, especially in the multi-line blurb at the start of the game. * I got stuck after running out of cards before fighting the red guy in the "basement" of the saloon.

All in all, a decent game which has visuals, audio and is actually playable. Well done!

words with strangers by whilesoftware 2018-04-24T16:28:47Z

Very playable! Shame there weren't any other people playing along. I completed the "Planets" page solo. Excellent implementation of a word search.

Typewriter Dungeon by Jaime Paz Lopes 2018-04-24T19:15:38Z

Really cool idea! It plays a little bit slow though. Speeding it up 50% or so would make it a lot more playable.

Nice work!

Soccer Stacker by TechBox North 2018-04-24T16:15:12Z

This is hilarious! Honestly I failed to get more than 2. But I really enjoyed the futility of trying to do this obviously impossible task.

Maybe giving the soccer balls the *tiniest* amount of friction would have make the game easier. But then would it have been so funny? :D

Need-For-Sleep by Madao 2018-04-24T16:23:35Z

Cute idea! Some kind of "undo" button or more direct way of controlling how the program is put together, would have really helped. But it's fun and I think with a bit of polish it could be great!

Augmented Reality Virtual Pet Stealth - Browser Playable by PadenPierry 2018-04-24T15:44:06Z

Pretty funny, and I think you win for "ideas that nobody else thought of"!
