Starlock Defense by Tommy Moua 2023-10-03T17:12:28Z ♥ 2
Very fun and nice game. At first i was hoping it would just go on forever. At the end it felt a bit repetitive though. I also feel like the beginning was a bit too hard compared to the later levels. I would have liked it if there were no resets and instead you played the same level all the way through the monsters just increased. In order to still have some sense of progression within the game you could lock the small towers behind wave requirements.
Overall very fun and engaging.

Simple idea, great execution. A bit hard to play with touchpad, but thats not really a problem. I like the visuals, and the sounds. The game seems a bit familiar to my own, i like the direction too.
Replicate-You by loveapplegames 2024-04-20T16:12:59Z ♥ 2
Visuals and audio is really nice. The controls feel a bit unresponsive at times, i think it is because the game is not listening for events while in the middle of two tiles. The gameplay loop is original and fun, but it also doesnt really make sense to me. What do i get after completing a level? What is the purpose of the replicator? How do i deal with the enemies? I have a sword but can i use it? If you have thought about these questions a tutorial would be great, otherwise thinking about them would be a good idea.

Gets boring very quickly, i dont feel like there is that much choice there is like 1-2 good way to place the walls and thats it. Every level is just the same after that.

Nice game, it had a good gameplay loop that was very addictive. I normally only play through games once, but i played through this one twice since it was so much fun. I just had to try and max out but that turns out to be really really hard.

I feel like this game has great potential. You are definitely a good artist, i quite liked the cute little ghosts and the skull. If im not mistaken you might have overestimated how much time you had, especially considering this is your first game jam. Its always a struggle how to manage your time, just remember you dont have to write the most perfect code or make the most perfect art. Sometimes you have to focus on getting some content or a nice gameplay loop. Overall a fun game though.

Very fun and interesting game, i wish it was a bit easier to play with touch pad though.
The tutorial is a bit long and boring as it isnt interactive, but the actual gameplay is fun. If you want to make it more engaging maybe a shop of sorts could go a long way (although i dont know what happens after 1000 kills so maybe that does indeed happen.)

I really dont understand the dammage mechanic, i also think it has been made too complicated. The controls felt really nice, but i hate that i have to use the mouse. Maybe you could have done WASD for movement, and arrow keys for aiming.
Dark Dominion by Zomk 2024-04-20T10:13:44Z ♥ 1
This game was a tad bit too 2D for me in terms of gameplay. There were not really any decisions to be made from a players perspective. I felt like i was just drawing as fast as possible and i would win automatically. If you made more decisions available to the player you could definitely go somewhere with this game. Currently it just looks like a drawing simulator though.
Ideas for more interactability: A price per summon, multiple lanes, more patterns, using memory to remember the patterns instead of something you can see when drawing.
Other than that it was a really nice game though.

Very cool game, i only wish there would have been subclasses later on. Would also have been really cool to play something like a vampire stealing hp from enemies instead of just damaging them.
Help of the Cthulhu by Jiri Hysek 2024-04-20T09:54:41Z ♥ 2
Very very cool game, even though this is not my favorite genre i really enjoyed this game. Probably one of my favorite games i ever played in ludum dare ever. Only note i have is that the sound is a bit annoying very quickly. Everything else is ready to release with some more levels and maybe a tutorial.
Summoner's Cat Defense by KANAGG 2024-04-20T09:42:01Z ♥ 3
The sound was a bit repetitive after a while. Cool game though, this genre of game is definitely right up my alley. If you end up turning this into a "real" game after LD feel free to let me know as im very interested. Overall it does need a bit of work though, the graphics are nice, but i would suggest instead of going completely black and white instead do a grayscale for the background, like most websites, as that tends to look cleaner.
Overall not the most innovative game, but definitely fits the theme and an enjoyable experience. Good work!

I sadly couldnt get the game to work besides placing the first items in their designated spots. Maybe i did something wrong? I tried clicking the chalk and nothing happened. But from the pictures i think i get what this game is about, the art is cool and it seems like a neat little experience. Nice job
Words of Power by nsadie 2024-04-19T20:28:27Z ♥ 1
Pretty cool game, i really liked the art, was it really done by your kids?? I didnt really understand what words were and werent allowed though. I wrote some words that were definitely english words but they didnt give me anything. Maybe i missed something, but even after looking multiple times i could not find any rules about which words are allowed.
