This is a great concept for a game! i love the sprite work and simple mechanics. The levels are challenging and entertaining and I would love to see an expanded version!

This is a great concept for a game! i love the sprite work and simple mechanics. The levels are challenging and entertaining and I would love to see an expanded version!
That was really enjoyable and well put together! i love the art and simple animations and the mechanics were simple and easy to grasp without making the game too easy. Great job!
This is the best game I've played from this jam! The art, music, design, etc. are all amazing! This truly is great. You should be very proud.
Excellent job. I loved the animations and sound design. My only suggestion relates to the camera movement. There were times that I lost simply because the camera locked on to the main character but didn't move fast enough to catch up to the action, leaving me helpless with nothing to grab as my little player fell to his doom past grab-able objects that were just out of view. Otherwise, the game is fantastic. I actually started attending game jams thanks to your youtube channel and this is my first LD jam, so thank you!
That was a neat tower defense game and plenty of fun. I feel like the difficulty curve was just right and I really enjoyed the animations and variation in enemy types.
I really love the concept, but, unfortunately, I know little to nothing about sourdough starters and have no idea how to play! A tutorial would have been nice, but I understand the limitation, time-wise.
That was pretty fun! I really liked your art assets and music, but wish the bounding boxes on the player/enemies were smaller. For an endless runner type game, I would recommend placing the player to the left side of the screen rather than the middle to allow the player more time to prepare for obstacles. I would also recommend that you make it more obvious how many lives the player has left. Otherwise, this is a fun little game with a decent amount of polish. Also, by the way, the title screen buttons are not aligned when played in full-screen. The quit button hovers somewhere in the top right corner while the player button is around the center.
@omiya-games Same issue over here. If the block locks in place as the baby falls from above it, it will lock the baby in place with the block. I assumed that was the solution to this level, but...
That was enjoyable, though short. I would recommend speeding up the character a bit. It felt like he was lagging behind at points.
What an absolutely fantastic little game! I would call it a hidden gem, except that it looks like I'm the only one who just found it. You already know your music, animations, and aesthetics are phenomenal. There's not much I can add other than suggesting some hints to the player about how to solve level 2 instead of relying on trial and error, which can get frustrating.
Great graphics and music! There were a few times where I walked into a new room and died immediately because the obstacles were right in front of the door and I couldn't see them.
Cool animation!
This is, by far, the best game I've seen this jam! This being a COMPO game makes it that much more impressive. This game is oozing with polish and I can't find anything to criticize!
The graphics and ambiance are great! The controls for walking being limited to WASD was a bit annoying at first. Overall, a fantastic jam project!
Hey, just a heads up: if you launch the game with a VR headset connected, it will not run properly. The game kept trying to launch my oculus software instead of starting the first level.
That was fantastic! I can't find anything wrong to comment on. You created a seriously entertaining piece of art. Also, thanks for playing my game the other day!
I enjoyed the concept and most of the execution. Your ambiance was spot-on. There were quite a few times that I died because the collider on your player/water is too large. There were plenty of times that I died as soon as the fans started spinning, rather than when I was touching the actual water.
The was really cool. I'm getting strong Limbo vibes overall, and the sound design was top-notch. I would recommend adding some sort of distinction between the foreground layer and the default player level. There were times where I tried jumping over a ledge that ended up being part of the foreground.
That was awesome! I really like the aesthetics and music. I really have no suggestions or complaints!
Super simple addicting game. The only suggestion I have is to add a health bar rather than a numerical. Otherwise, great work!
Great execution of a classic genre. I would have liked the game to move a bit fast, maybe slowing down right before an obstacle to let the player place a plank/spring? Great work either way.
The graphics, fx, and music are top notch! I really enjoyed the game and I think the difficulty is just the right mix of frustrating and addicting. Great work!
The game is a bit too difficult, but I really love the skeleton sprites and animations and the bloom effect on the power source is very attractive.
This was a very entertaining arcade experience, though I would have like a button to be able to exit the tutorial stage!
This is really good. If I may add a suggestion: I would like it better if the player moved smoothly rather than in fixed distances.
The art style is great and the music is fitting, but otherwise, there isn't much to do. I managed to get to a higher platform on the second day and just hold Up to destroy everything. The instructions are also a bit unclear. Am I supposed to destroy everything? Just some things? It's certainly a good project. I wish there was a tighter game loop.
That was quite entertaining. Not too much replay value, but it's a great jam project!
This is great! I love the music and pixel art style. The game feels very responsive and smooth. Two suggestions: a restart button would be awesome, especially considering the difficulty, and I would add a sound effect to indicate that the player is within range of Mac.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't enter chargers. I tried pressing Up while next to them, overlapping them, and jumping near them, but nothing seems to work. Otherwise, this game looks incredible! I love the charging mechanic, which is similar to the main mechanic in my LD game, but the art totally blew me away! The animations are smooth and the title screen really draws you in. Fantastic job!
This is a fun and really addicting little game. I really love the unique mechanic and great take on the theme! There is a weird "thing" going on with the background. When the character grows, it seems to flash as if it's shaking randomly, which is a bit jarring. Otherwise, I really love it!
Great game! I enjoyed the simple concept and cute art style. It took me a few seconds to figure out how to play and I couldn't beat level 3, but enjoyed the experience.
I'm gonna have to come back and play this later. It looks great!
The art is great. It's hard to believe you made this in a weekend! Great job.
The art style is phenomenal and I like the twist on the theme!
The theme was definitely represented well and I just wish game-play was a bit smoother. Otherwise, great job on your first solo jam!
I couldn't quite figure out how to play, but the art, animations, and mood are terrific! I wish there was a soundtrack to go along with this and possibly a hailstorm :)
I'm afraid I couldn't figure out how to play without dying almost immediately. The idea is interesting though and I would like to play it again if you choose to expand on it.
This is dripping with polish! While I didn't enjoy the puzzles as much as I'd hoped (I'm too tired to think after programming for 72 hours), I really like the concept and wish this was a full game with more mechanics.
This was a decent project. I'm not sure if others had the same issues, but the game ran way too fast for me. If you guys used the Unity engine to create this, you may need to account for the time between frames (ie. use Time.deltaTime). Otherwise, this has potential. It's a good start!
Fantastic work! That was both hilarious and addicting. For a compo game, this was beyond any expectations I had.

This really is the perfect game for this jam! I'm pleasantly surprised! I honestly have no criticism or recommendations. 5/5 all around.

The art, mood, and general gameplay is just great! This is an awesome piece of media and the fact that it was made in just a weekend makes it that much more amazing!

Truly fantastic game. My daughter woke up while I was playing so I couldn't finish the game. Please fix this bug.

Very well made game for a jam! I think the music and atmosphere is spot on. It doesn't fit the theme too well in my opinion and the controls feel a bit floaty, but it's still fairly polished and very well executed. How are you storing the online leaderboard data?

Cool game with a fun, easy to grasp concept. I would recommend adding in a directional notice to alert players to new cracks forming. Great work for a weekend! Please consider checking out our game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/25-vikings

I don't have time to play every game, but I saw your game on Twitch. It's looks very polished and well done overall. The music is thematically fitting and the basic color-coordination is very engaging and intuitive. Very well done!

I appreciate that you went back and fixed some game-breaking bugs and that you made sure to list them in a changelog. Now on to the game itself: I think the difficulty needs to increase faster. I quit after day 27 because I didn't see an end in sight and the game got too repetitive. The plate washing controls are a bit finicky but I think that's completely fine. I love the aesthetic and music. Great work overall! Please consider checking out our game as well: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/25-vikings
Super Cyber Jelly by Requi 2022-04-10T02:04:14Z ♥ 1
Visually and musically incredible. I'd assumed you used pre-made assets until I scrolled up to make sure. This is a professional level product and I'm very impressed. The gameplay is smooth and feels fantastic. My only criticism is that I don't feel invested in continuing to the next level or collecting coins for points. Is there a leaderboard somewhere? If not, I don't really have any emotional connection with the character or want to see it succeed. That's really a very minor issue, though. Overall, you did one heck of a job for a jam game!

Holding On by Trebby 2022-04-10T01:58:06Z ♥ 1
I like the idea very much and it has promise. Unfortunately, there was little to keep me invested in the long run. I don't like that the power recharges completely with just a few clicks. The game is too easy, which leaves you with only the messages to engage with. The only issue is that the messages (and I don't want to sound rude) feel like they were taken out of a teenager's idea of song lyrics for an emo band. They don't really have any meaning and don't interest me as a player. I would have much rather you told a story through the messages about the characters and given me a chance to care for them, rather than explicitly telling me I care about them in the messages. I think this is a good idea and very well executed, but I just wanted a little bit more. That said, great job for a jam game!

The Demon Trainer by drentsoft 2022-04-10T01:46:53Z ♥ 1
Interesting game! I enjoyed the humor at the start very much and would have loved a bit more of it thrown in at random points. I think the mechanics are solid and fit the theme very well, but the difficulty ramped up way too fast for my uncoordinated fingers to handle. I wish there was a steady incline in difficulty over time rather than a sudden burst right after the tutorial. Overall, a great jam game, though.

I'll start by saying that I didn't actually play the game and won't rate it to be fair. The art style looks awesome and I would love to try it out at some point, but starting your description by mentioning that it's a long experience means I just don't have the time to play it during the jam. I hope you do well in the jam!
The Adventure of a Lifetime by JamPaktGames 2022-04-10T01:36:47Z ♥ 1
You did such a fantastic job with the limited time we had! The atmosphere and music are both spot on and the game actually almost made me tear up during the bird level. I will say that I wasn't able to beat the bird level since the difficulty curve spiked a bit too much. I played it three times but it was just too long for me to try again. I would recommend either making it shorter or adding an indication of how much is left to keep the player motivated. Awesome job overall!
