Lovely game! I had a lot of fun playing it, which is as much as one can ask for in a jam game. Audio and graphics are very solid. Great job!

Bit Golf by badcop 2023-10-07T15:34:59Z ♥ 2

I got lost playing this game for so long! What a unique and fun game. Great job!

Rafty Crab by kuviman 2023-10-06T02:22:54Z ♥ 1

The bravery to go for a multiplayer game in a jam is noted. Awesome fun to play while watching a stream haha. And the audio, fantastic!

Introvertigo by Scott Steffes 2023-10-06T02:00:20Z ♥ 5

Came from Rincs' stream, glad I did cause what an awesome premise. I like unique conversational games and as an introvert the theme is perfect. And I LOVE the art, really made me feel like I was in that uncomfortable situation trying to get out. Fantastic job!

The King is Watching by Tvorojok 2023-10-05T13:01:03Z ♥ 3

One of the best games I've seen this jam, it is no small feat to produce such a polished game that is so engaging in the time given. Your team should be proud.

Survivor Island by Salaro 2023-10-04T22:56:43Z ♥ 1

Nice entry, I think it has a lot of potential. I wish the weapon, particularly sword swinging, were a bit more polished, since it is the one thing you do the most in this game. If the core is satisfying, the game will be greatly enhanced, and everything else is a bonus. Overall great job for a solo jam!

Botpourri's Space Chase by Antti Haavikko 2023-10-04T03:38:54Z ♥ 1

Fantastic game. So much game feel and juice. Your take on exploration is on point, and coherent with the theme. It took me a while to get everything (and I'm still not sure if I do get all the mechanics), but it keeps me coming back :) Very addictive.

Craftship Ltd. by pixel-fabian 2023-10-04T03:29:38Z ♥ 2

Nice puzzle at the core. Was a bit unclear but once I started it clicked quickly. The RNG tile generation is a bit mean but it makes for some interesting decisions. Good job on the game!

Grid Island by Hiding.Dev 2023-10-04T03:21:12Z ♥ 1

I am glad I came over from your comment on our game. The games we made are similar in concept yet spawned very different strategies! Great puzzle and chill vibes, with a healthy amount of depth in decisions. I love the art and level of polish on everything.

Pixel Piles by Gabriel Chan 2023-10-04T02:16:43Z ♥ 4

First, super innovative experience yet did not take much effort to understand at all thanks to the tutorial. Managing to get a Tetris line, on the other hand... I'm sure you already got feedback about how it is really hard for a jam game - I think it's about how manipulating blocks requires you to be on the sides, which conflicts with the nature of needing to be where you want the block to be. Yet I can't think of a way to change it without fundamentally changing the game. Being difficult is not the same as being bad; maybe it is the player who needs to keep up. The thing is, I can't complain about the graphics and audio, and the game feels fantastic to interact with, so I don't mind going back and playing for a bit to try to beat it! The game frustrates with its difficulty yet taunts the players to come back to conquer the mountain, and all the while making them feel good with solid UX and game feel, while they're working to get that tiny bit of progression in their own skills. And that, I think is a great achievement.

BIT Busters : Virus Warfare by ArthurSenpai 2023-10-04T02:01:16Z ♥ 0

It looks very interesting from the screenshots, so I hope (after getting some sleep) you will come back and export the game so we can play!

Conways Crowded Farm by George-sh 2023-10-04T01:58:23Z ♥ 1

Very innovative and ambitious idea. While I can see you wanted to do more, I also see a lot of good things in here already. A fun little (but potentially deep) puzzle. As someone who usually doesn't get all his ideas implemented due to overscoping, don't let it discourage you - the core of what you have is what makes the game good, not the bells and whistles. Focus on that and get to the heart of what makes the idea stand on its own. (Plus you can add to the game later; there are jams that let you work on and submit your unfinished projects, for example.) To improve what you have, I would suggest focusing on more user experience (e.g. hovering over each element shows you how it works, or having shortcuts so there's less moving the mouse back and forth), and very importantly, teaching people through gradual progression. Those are the hardest part of making an innovative idea because there's no pre-existing familiarity, so it's really on you to get the idea across. I hope this is constructive feedback. Ultimately, even if you don't feel like it, you did a good job with this game :)

Running out of space by Tal28 2023-10-04T01:39:29Z ♥ 1

"360 no scope - the game." Very fun, great game feel. I like your interpretation of the theme. A lot of little fun minutiae that tells me you have an eye for details. Very solid for your first Ludum Dare, keep it up!

A Little Bag Story by Vidu 2023-10-04T01:35:12Z ♥ 1

Everyone has gushed about your professional looking art, and for good reason. I also love the visual clarity and how much it all pops. It's easy to "get" the game and I can tell you prioritised player comfort. For the gripes, which are minor, I just wish there was more indication of what the next fight was, and I also was missing more interaction / synergies between the items. But that says more about how solid this game was that those are the worst things I can say; they can be for the next iterations. Overall a fantastic job!

Nice Park! by Barbabulle 2023-10-04T01:05:26Z ♥ 2

Fantastic game, feels very complete and satisfying to play. I love how you gave no penalty for hitting other cars, because you recognize ramming things is the secondary core of the game!

New Apartment by Jiri Hysek 2023-10-03T07:25:28Z ♥ 1

Hey good job with this game, it feels very complete. I did get quite frustrated, but not cause of the game, just at my own incompetence haha. It's quite a brain burner! The audio and graphics are solid. Good job!

Bubble Trouble by Thomas_Bringer 2023-10-03T07:11:50Z ♥ 1

This games looks and feels amazing. If only there was a bit more visual feedback, but I understand given the short time limit. It's a tough game to beat, but fun!

Merge Soldier by LinWenHao 2023-10-03T07:08:30Z ♥ 1

Very cool interpretation of the theme, and a brain buster. Good job!

Constance by Oakwarrior 2020-04-30T03:59:09Z ♥ 4

What can I say that hasn't been said? Great mood, lighting, graphics, music, and voice acting. The polish is superb, especially that beautiful starting screen! But yes, where it falls short a bit is the gameplay. It is repetetive and the clues for which parts to take aren't that clear. I would really like more mechanics - for example if I could stealth kill people and use their corpse, instead of just having corpses lying around (Victorian times was different I guess?). And maybe having a high kill rate would lead to coppers coming out on lookout for a real challenge. It could really be an 8-bit Frankenstein Hitman crossover, if we just had a bit more focus on the gameplay.

LD-46 Tower Defense by AlexHicks 2020-04-24T02:55:12Z ♥ 1

Great polished graphics and nice music! You have all the classic TD stuff and I had fun playing this.

If you were to improve this, I would only ask for some quality of life stuff, like range indicator, hover preview, and maybe some game feel / polish elements like explosions. Great job!

VITAL 2020 by bflatinteractive 2020-04-21T12:46:36Z ♥ 1

This is less video game and more philosophical commentary about the fragility and futility of living. I love it.

P.S. I died at 90.

HEART LORDS by Spooky 2020-04-21T12:24:48Z ♥ 0

Art and music is great. Combat gets stale quickly, but the hits themselves are very satisfying!

Silly Fluffy Bunny by Jiri Hysek 2020-04-21T03:18:34Z ♥ 1

Awesome! It was so frustrating when the bunny kept trying to die but that was also the best part. Great job, I wish there were more puzzles that explored the drawing mechanics.

Robo Portrait by finalspace 2019-05-04T04:20:56Z ♥ 1

Lovely game! I really enjoy the art and music. It was clear and fun. However, the gameplay itself felt a bit unfair at times, as there's no breathing room (a "press J to start level" would be nice), and there's no indication of how fast the brush is going to go. I keep getting caught off guard by the level starting with a completely different speed. Still those are minor problems, the product itself is impressive for a 3-day jam product. Good job!

Rent is Due by JakobTheQuizGuy 2019-05-03T12:50:22Z ♥ 1

This game is bonkers! It's so hard but it's worth it. It made me realise that the theme essentially stacks the odds against you by having your health linked to your ability to upgrades... If you fall behind you're screwed!

Death Coin Battle Royale by ZakAmana 2019-05-03T09:40:23Z ♥ 0

There are bugs here and there, but how can there not be with this SUPER AMBITIOUS project? You put so much thought and polish into each part, it really felt like an actual feature-packed ship-ready game. So much game juice, and it was satisfying to see the little players move around and shoot each other. The name references are amazing as well. Overall fantastic job!

Warlock Cardgame by krammetje 2019-05-03T09:35:07Z ♥ 1

The UI got me a bit confused at first as to which side I was on, and the cards need a bit more balancing. But the game works very smoothly, I knew exactly what I was doing after a while. Hope you'll put more work into the game and expand it. Overall a really good job!

Pit King by VeryEvilTomato 2019-05-02T04:08:21Z ♥ 1

You made a full-fledged releasable game! I'm on laptop without a mouse at the moment, so I would have appreciated some alternative to right-clicking. Still I had a great time! Fantastic job, I hope you place very high on the rankings!

Clock of Your Life by JestemStefan 2019-05-02T04:04:10Z ♥ 1

What a unique concept, well-executed! I spent like 60% of my time working... This could be used as a personality test 😉

Cursed Samurai by palsina 2019-05-02T03:52:47Z ♥ 0

Really hard game but SO beautiful! You did a great job with the mechanics, your actions just need more frequency AND reaction time. Harsh games usually give the player no waiting time to jump back into action (see Super Meat Boy, Cuphead, etc). Still fantastic for a jam game!

Dont Drop The Bass! by TaqoShaq 2019-05-02T03:43:55Z ♥ 0

Feels great when I get it, but I couldn't always get the correct timing, even with offset adjustment. Still a great job for a jam game!

Social Lite by DoctorMozart 2019-05-02T03:26:44Z ♥ 1

I loved figuring out what each reference is supposed to be! (that Brooklyn Nine Nine one!) You did a great job for a jam game, I loved upgrading the room with the little trinkets. Really cute graphics and music. Awesome work!

Basil Price: Mint Investigator by minibobbo 2019-05-02T03:16:42Z ♥ 1

Detective games are my favourite! I really felt like playing more of this storyline. You did a great job in the short time you had. Congrats!

THE SAVER by Gao Ming 2019-05-01T00:46:42Z ♥ 0

This is one of the best experiences I had this jam! The punch felt really powerful and satisfying. Wonderful job.

I only wish the puzzles were actually designed instead of what I believe is generated? And sometimes my position works in the testing phase, but in reality it misses.

Vampire Quest by cyriaque 2019-05-01T00:33:25Z ♥ 3

Cute graphics, fun idea, some issues stopped it from being perfect.

Pros: - Brilliant art, the colours work really well together - Nice audio that compliments the gameplay - The blood sucking animation is hilarious! - Smooth gameplay (Until it stops working, see below)

Cons: - I'm not sure if it's just my browser but the game freezes at a few points, once at the start and once when I felt into the ditch. (I'm on Firefox on Mac) Judging from other comments I'm not the only one. If you don't mind me talking shop, you could look into your while loops, maybe there's an infinite loop somewhere.

You did a great job nonetheless, I hope you fix the freezing bug and release a post-jam version!

King's Alchemist by Vlad Dae 2019-04-30T16:33:51Z ♥ 2

UI is a bit clunky, but the graphics makes up for it! Really cool Alchemy system, good job.

Guttula (HTML) by SnufkinsHat 2019-04-30T16:16:42Z ♥ 1

Congrats on finishing your game! It's quite enjoyable and I wish it were longer. I like how you interpreted the theme. Good job!

Courtyard Madness by X Budsterized X 2019-04-30T16:13:19Z ♥ 0

A really cool little shooter combined with what could be considered idle systems. I think this has great potential to become a full length game!

Coin Defender by Nikos 2019-04-30T15:59:26Z ♥ 0

I love combining games! Would have played on if you had more levels. Great job!

Phantom of the Malá Strana by maoap 2019-04-30T14:54:58Z ♥ 2

Really interesting game. Looks great. I think the fact that the "head" of the "snake" is on the wrist makes it hard to get right. You can make games hard, but it's better if the difficulty is challenging, rather than annoying.

[SHIP-WRE-KT] by webthingee 2019-04-30T14:36:41Z ♥ 2

That thing at the ending infuriated - and delighted me! (I won't spoil it for anyone else, haha.) This seemingly simple game made me feel epic emotions. I wish the game was longer, and chock full of experiences just like that. Great job!

BulletLife by Temsei 2019-04-30T14:17:22Z ♥ 1

Sweet game. Only gripe I have: I would have liked to be able to slide off of obstacles, hated getting stuck whenever I'm blocked. Other than that it plays really smoothly. Good job!

ATM {At_The_Machine} by scott.redrup 2019-04-30T14:01:47Z ♥ 1

I didn't have a friend to play it with, but it's an interesting concept. The names you've chosen, LOL!

Don't think about others by DAVidus 2019-04-30T13:59:32Z ♥ 1

Great satire in the form of a humorous and original concept!

TRIWAR by Donitz 2019-04-30T13:39:33Z ♥ 1

Oh my god, I could rave about that triangular aesthetics for DAYS! This was great fun, at least until the Spawning pools got me. That was a big difficulty SPIKE (get it? Cause the whole game is made of spikes? No?)

Zoltan's Idea by Fanu 2019-04-30T13:18:20Z ♥ 5

I actually chuckled to myself when I realised what the game was about. This was one of the funniest AND most fun games I've played so far!

FINGER FIGHTER - High Stakes by Erik Brunnstrom 2019-04-30T13:09:43Z ♥ 1

Awesome game, fun and lovely graphic with a gruesome twist. Really clever take on good old rock-paper-scissors, I am floored by how the penalty is also part of the strategy. How did you think of that?

Small bug: I pressed Play then opened the Help Menu and then got into the game, and it got stuck on screen. (This was on Mac)

Ticker Clicker Defence by smiley 2019-04-30T12:54:31Z ♥ 3

A great take on the classic tower defense with a hint of clicker. Bright, colourful, lovely. I got to level 20 by just stocking up hearts from the previous levels.

**Pros:** Nice, clean professional graphics. Awesome soundtrack and sfx. Felt great watching the lasers go pew-pew and enemies' blood spatter.

**Room for improvement:** (ignoring that it's a limited-time Game Jam) Game started out slow for a long time, then really picked up the pace by level 12, and I mean *really*. So that experience could be balanced better. If I'm honest, the clicker mechanics felt a bit forced. I'd rather be upgrading my turrets than clicking mindlessly at hearts. I think the thematic connection still works without it, and it's still very original.

For three days, it's a great attempt. Hope to see more from you!

The Gold Digger by Jiri Hysek 2019-04-30T02:43:28Z ♥ 1

Congrats on another great game! Funny concept, pretty art and very original interpretation of the theme. I wish the game were longer, haha.

Jing & Jang delivery Co. by Sanguis 2018-05-07T11:09:27Z ♥ 2

Clean graphics, nice music, a lot of funny moments. Really enjoyable and fun. You did a great job!

On The Fly by qkjosh 2018-05-01T04:48:10Z ♥ 1

This has better visuals than some triple A games! What a special experience. I’m in awe at how you can create such aesthetics in the time given. And I especially love that it’s a bout a Sparrow! ;)

Element Crush by vfqd 2018-04-30T14:48:18Z ♥ 1

Wow. WOW. This is a truly innovative combination and game. All elements work together to help the experience and not just for the sake of being there. Sound fx was the weakest link, but it didn't matter cause everything else is great. I would have been impressed that a team could put this together in 3 days. Then I realised this was a COMPO game. I'm speechless. This is a home run.

Super Bass Racing by mikemacdee 2018-04-28T16:17:01Z ♥ 1

I love the combination. A lot of games in this jam tend to be two genres mashed together with no care for mechanical or thematic linking. This is not one of them. Huge fun for two players, great job!

Shuffle Climber by miroky 2018-04-28T02:18:16Z ♥ 2

Really cool, great-looking, smooth-control game with awesome music. It's a solid 4+ for me, so I'll just nitpick in hope of being constructive:

- The natural drawback of this genre combination is that the card control panel requires separate attention from the main gameplay, so it's hard to look up and down at the same time. If you use 1 2 3 4 5 for card selection, and maybe color coded cards, could be a good way to alleviate that divide of attention. - The enemies turn back too early to be intuitive, hence players will jump up when they think enemies have gone right when they have actually turned around and gone left. Should go all the way to the end of the platforms.

That's all the recommendation I have, please consider expanding on that to make a full length release. Kudos!

Gravity Chess by CaptainPilot 2018-04-28T01:03:53Z ♥ 0

Saw this on stream and had to go play for myself! Probably one of my favorites this jam, wonderful job!

Edit: Now that I've played through I'd personally go with just white pieces for the jam, black pieces are a whole nother layer of complexity that's hard to balance. Still you did a great job for the time you had!

Beat Platformers Up by atsuzaki 2018-04-27T02:53:51Z ♥ 1

Great job! Over 15 years of gaming and this is the first time a game makes me feel like Superman haha. Nice graphics, appropriate SFX, some music would be nice. The first few minutes are my only complain, it's hard to understand what I'm doing or where I'm supposed to go, and it's too easy to fall down and die and have to wait (should remove the counter completely). Still nice, innovative idea. Bravo!

Shit Country Sweeper by Damienp 2018-04-27T02:38:19Z ♥ 1

Fantastic execution, I wonder how long it took to get all countries on the map (I assume all). There were some bugs but not too intrusive. Political statement aside, it's a great idea. Wonderful job!

Groove Chase by dlan 2018-04-27T02:21:55Z ♥ 1

After trying many rhythm games this jam, I found that rhythm is actually really hard to pull off. Yours is definitely among the better ones. Graphics is nice and fitting, although you could make the racing part mesh with the rhythm part more to really solidify the combination. Overall nice job!

Real Text Adventure by honpray 2018-04-27T02:15:07Z ♥ 1

Awesome idea. Reminds me of a lot of things that I like: Word World the kid's show. Typoman the game. Counterfeit Monkey the text adventure. Of course all those things lack some aspects that you could improve on, so if you want check them out for inspiration. If you make it so that you can change letters and change how a word works, add some polish and add your own flare it can be a great game. Good job for your first jam, keep it up!

Fish for Speed by Draedrus 2018-04-26T13:19:56Z ♥ 1

The aesthetics is mind blowing. I really feel like a thrill seeking high seas voyager. A bit more gameplay and things happening and this will be a studio quality game. (So it's basically Sea of Thieves). What software did you use if you don't mind me asking?

Obaké by mrspeaker 2018-04-25T14:52:12Z ♥ 0

What a surreal experience! You definitely think out of the box with this one. It's crazy tough, but that's how I like it. Nice job!

CONFESSIONAL by Rodrigo Denúbila 2018-04-25T14:17:26Z ♥ 1

This looks amazing. There is real dread at points, particularly due to the atmospheric music. Well, except for when that hitting animation played haha, that kinda made me laugh. Great game, hope you expand on it in the future.

Infernoculus by icxon 2018-04-25T14:15:00Z ♥ 0

That graphics is insane, awesome job! My gf and I played this and had a great time. We spent more time hitting each other than scoring haha. She just brutally murdered my guys. 10/10 would play again.

-------- Noisy - Ninja -------- by ThePhennix 2018-04-25T14:06:52Z ♥ 1

I had to check this out since your game title sounds so similar to mine 😉. This is a great idea, quite original in the context of the jam. Graphically elements work really well together. The game is rather linear as it is, which is fine but I would like to see the buttons turned into real music with rhythm rather than just buttons to press. Overall a very good effort, keep making games!

Neural Network Ratatouille by polegar 2018-04-25T13:18:36Z ♥ 1

Wow, as a machine learning novice I love what you've done here. I've been looking into how to incorporate machine learning into games, and here you are making this on a whim! Great innovation happening, love it.

Sneaky Beats by gamesplusjames 2018-04-25T03:31:35Z ♥ 1

Hey James, love your Youtube channel. Your game is super innovative, I really enjoyed the combination. Graphics is good, and the music is fitting. As your Mac tester, I'll give a couple pointers that is hopefully constructive: - Bug in level 3 (the one with 4 buttons): When I press the Open button on the top left I automatically slide to the right. - It seems I can press all four music buttons to win the rhythm part. Even when I press when no note is supposed to be pressed? - When I'm not mashing all buttons it's hard to get the right timing. I'm not a Guitar Hero god but I'm not bad either so maybe this is unnecessarily punishing. Maybe you could stretch the window.

That's about it, overall this game is still a hit for me. Especially since I also made a stealth + music game 😁 . Hope you find my feedback helpful.

Flatformer by Nick Rafalski 2018-04-25T03:02:28Z ♥ 1

This is a solid game, and I'm sure with enough polish it can look as great as it plays! Your card graphics are easy to get and the game makes sense immediately, which I can't say for all jam games. I like your shuffle graphics. Great job!

Toodee and Topdee by voxel 2018-04-25T02:47:11Z ♥ 1

The idea is 4/5 but execution pushes it to 5/5! It feels like a fully fleshed out studio game. Difficulty curve is masterfully crafted. I love your take on the theme. Great job!

You managed to make a typing game stressful. All around flawless execution. Levels and learning curve need some work, but that's the case with all puzzle jam games. One of the best I've played this jam!

Think Before Escape by acoto87 2018-04-25T02:32:45Z ♥ 1

Great execution! I really like the aesthetics and the music, they fit together well. I would rather not have the time increase, since the waiting makes the game lose speed, but I imagine that would limit the space of possibilities. I hope you think about that when you expand the game!

Dancemazing by MariosManiatis 2018-04-25T02:17:01Z ♥ 1

I read the description and was still caught off guard. Great buildup, incredibly funny game!

Great job! It's quite tough but that's exactly how hangovers feel, isn't it ? xD Nice music!

FTD (Find The Differences) by AL19890604 2018-04-24T17:18:23Z ♥ 1

Great concept, you're right, the graphics doesn't define the game. I feel however like not only the control scheme but also the game design is unnecessarily punishing, since it's so easy to fall and lose almost all your progress and just give up. But if that's what you're going for, I'll give it to you. Kinda like Getting Over It, but without the payback of the commentary.

Remember or Die by GameDevMumin 2018-04-24T16:58:31Z ♥ 0

Really well done, I love both aspects of the game and they mesh together perfectly!

Poker-Man : Arcade + Poker by lavwa 2018-04-24T16:55:50Z ♥ 1

Amazingly funny game! You did the theme justice. I wish the hands could be shown, but other than that solid game.

Zuma Defence by Poroh 2018-04-24T16:45:01Z ♥ 0

Creative and innovative entry. One of my favorite concepts, in fact. It's so good that the execution was meant to disappoint, that's the pitfall of jammers. But i think you did the idea a solid favor. It's worth expanding, if you ask me.

'Meme'bumps by Chetan pant 2018-04-24T16:33:29Z ♥ 1

Really funny concept, that's a great project for someone who insists on being a "noob", so don't sell yourself short. I laughed a lot. Hope to see more from you in future jams. Also check my game out if you like!

Tetriform by magicdidac 2018-04-24T16:13:31Z ♥ 1

I also had the Mac bug, but that was by the end so no problem. This was foremost innovative, and secondly fun. Two of my favorite aspects, so great job. BTW, I feel like your game and mine have a lot in common even though they come from drastically different places. That's cool.

AsteroidSweeper xTreme by Ananace 2018-04-24T16:04:32Z ♥ 1

I always liked those games with two sides of the brain doing their own thing, so this is a blast! Quite hard to get right, especially when you lose in Minesweeper randomly, but it's so fun when you can manage both. Great shot at nostalgia too!

Flappy Bird + Tetirs = FLAPTRIS by Mazzletov 2018-04-24T15:59:32Z ♥ 1

That's a real killer combination! I suck at Flappy Bird but good to know that I suck at FlapTris even more :) . Jokes aside, I really like this as an arcade game. You made a real experience that rises beyond the sum of its parts, good job!

Pinboy-an RPG+ Pinball game by Colleen9416 2018-04-24T15:08:00Z ♥ 1

This looks awesome, but, don't shoot the messenger, I think a game made by more than 1 person must be submitted to Jam instead of Compo.

Lost in Spacetime by zeMenno 2018-04-24T15:05:29Z ♥ 1

The nostalgia of Asteroid and the neo feel of Data Wing! I love it. The only thing I'd recommend is higher speed, which should make the game more chaotic and fun. I saw that this is your first jam, so wonderful job on this!

Harvest Ninja by gamesient 2018-04-24T14:57:18Z ♥ 2

Great idea! Gameplay is simple but effective. Love your take on an unorthodox stealth game. BTW I made a Ninja game too! Check it out if you like: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/karaoke-ninja

Really funny game, my gf and I had a great time laughing at our inability to dunk. The mechanics changes the entire game. Graphics is great, some bgm would be nice though. Good job!

Sumbot Fighting! by blu3bird 2018-04-24T14:17:17Z ♥ 2

The graphics is lovely, the bots are so cute. Interesting idea to say the least, although gameplay may have suffer because of the tough controls. Nonetheless me and my gf had a lot of fun just trying! Thanks for making this!

S.H.A.F.T by TIMOTHEUS-25 2018-04-24T14:03:08Z ♥ 1

- Pros: Music is fantastic, lovely art style that is cute and fluffy and nothing else. I love pandas. - Cons: I was hoping for more innovation following this theme (but I don't mind having some pure unadulterated fun, which this is). I f*cking hate pandas.

The Fishing by Corbak 2018-04-24T13:49:20Z ♥ 2

I really like how you fleshed out the world underneath the water, you can really feel the depth!

The Lake Of Horrors by WongKongPhooey 2018-04-24T13:43:22Z ♥ 1

I really like the graphics, and especially the fishing mechanics which is not easy or obvious but makes sense once you master it. A good idea combining fishing and horror, as they share the theme of suspense. A fun casual game! For suggestion, maybe bring in monsters, sharks and Cthulhu to spice things up? Well that's for the future, as it is a jam game it's deserving of great props :)

Maze in dark by Richnou 2018-04-24T13:34:55Z ♥ 0

Graphics rating for a game like this is pure irony. Love it.

- Pros: Super innovative, I've never played anything like this, and yet it makes so much sense. Like the Braille you got going on.

- Cons: More on me than the game but I suck at directions so I bailed quite early. And thus the levels I played were a bit samey.

All in all it's a great effort to bring something new to the table. Mad respect :)

Dodge The Bullet by Apace 2018-04-24T13:19:55Z ♥ 1

Seeing the bullets at the start of each level always gives me chills!

- Pros: Simple graphics that service the game well and convey every idea perfectly. Color scheme and learning curve well established. - Cons: Too many ways to win. I only died once (and I'm not good at these games). I'm sure you'll do more with more time.

Overall, I liked it and don't mind seeing more. Good job.

Draw Me Something by Yirggzmb 2018-04-23T23:25:06Z ♥ 1

So I really liked your game! A game that gives player control over itself, in this case over its own design, really gets me going. It's cute, the 2D shooter portion is fun. One thing I'd change is the time limit for each drawing, since with it I don't feel in control and cannot draw much in 30 seconds. If you left it out people will be sharing their masterpieces for sure! Great work.

Heart-Type by ysty 2018-04-23T16:45:33Z ♥ 1

Cool idea. I love the aesthetics. The main mechanics is fine, but could be explored more. Above comments tip me that there may be parts I haven't seen, which is a shame because it was a bit too slow to be done when there's so many games to rate. Still, good job!

Red Shirt Engineer by Noxbuds 2018-04-23T16:35:40Z ♥ 0

As a proof of concept this is awesome. But then again, I'm studying electrical engineering. Anyway I hope you do more in the future with this! Cool idea. Also if you don't mind would you rate my game? Thanks for creating this!

Flappy Typing by Frodewin 2018-04-23T16:13:43Z ♥ 0

It's really hard, but that fits since it's half Flappy Bird. The innovation is clear, you made me realize the possibilities of using typing as a real control scheme. It's a lovely experience all around, I got to level 4!

Typey Boi The Game by DragonZBW 2018-04-23T15:56:16Z ♥ 0

Awesome game! Text adventure and typing game, both my favorite, and very well done to boot.

- Pros: Cool graphics and aesthetics. Game feel is abundant in the minor details. Fighting sequence is immersing, with the urgent switching mechanics that's mostly well-balanced which really push the enjoyment level to the max. - Cons: Very little to complain about here. Only how long the walking takes between screens, and the choice of words while relevant doesn't really need to be, since it repeats too much.

Conclusion: The winner is... One typey boi.

I, Love, Robot by Nash 2018-04-23T15:33:55Z ♥ 1

Quite an innovative idea you got there!

- Pros: Art is cute. Message interface looks nice. Emojis are 🔥. So are jokes. Cool music. - Cons: Gameplay was a bit slow (I know there must be time to read messages, so not sure how to solve that). Maybe reduce texts to only one emoji, then have more messages, maybe multiple robots? I'll leave you to see where it can go.

All in all this concept has a lot of potential and I really like it!

Him & I by Aaronacus 2018-04-23T15:20:34Z ♥ 4

Wow you nailed the emotional response with the art style. The music choice could be better, though. All in all this is the first special experience I've had this jam. Good job!

PE@CE by bwalter 2018-04-23T14:47:52Z ♥ 1

Great aesthetics as most have said. Who knew simple could be so complex? Little details here and there, like the mist and the jump animation really makes this game stand out. Controls well, and I like how no explanation is needed. I did get lost halfway through, starting from the level with two doors, but overall I had a great time! 4/5

BouncePUNCH by wsKilljoy 2018-04-23T13:25:58Z ♥ 1

Simple yet brilliant game, me and my gf played against each other and had a blast! Bonus point for Godot, always love to see good Godot games. Bravo.

Gender Circles by EkkoEkko 2018-04-23T12:50:58Z ♥ 3

I really like games about doing two things at once, so this is a hit! Good job.

Scarry by Memel06 2018-04-23T10:37:46Z ♥ 3

Your game is awesome! As someone who isn't even a fan of horror, I was completely immersed, intrigued and invested in the survival of my little car. Aesthetically the elements blend together really well, and really builds the atmosFEAR. Bravo!

It's cool to see someone else who also uses microphone as the control scheme. I hope you don't mind if I promote my game here, since people may want to try another microphone-controlled game :) https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/karaoke-ninja

Cat Pack by Potondo 2018-04-23T10:33:30Z ♥ 1

I like the combination, I'd say every game needs more cats :) The game looks simple but is deceptively tricky. Fantastic work!

Cooking Mamba by Whirlwind 2018-04-23T09:40:10Z ♥ 0

This is a pretty good proof of concept, everything looks good and you capture the general feel of the rhythm game genre well. I'm sure if you keep working on it, adding more mechanics and levels this can become a solid project. Not bad for your first game!

RTHM by fashionbatman 2018-04-23T09:20:24Z ♥ 1

Really interesting, great idea "matching" (see what I did there) dating and rhythm. I'd love to see more cohesion between the two halves, perhaps emojis from your date's messages will become the next notes? Anyway I love how the game generates its own soundtrack, really the best part. All in all I enjoyed playing it, good job!

Puzzle Golf by Jiri Hysek 2018-04-23T09:02:08Z ♥ 1

You created an awesome game! I'm always in awe of how well you can make so many elements work together aesthetically. As for the game design, as one of the tester I'm glad to see the game being expanded to accommodate a player's learning curve. Great job as always!

Brainiacs! by Dylan Rainwater 2018-04-23T07:40:27Z ♥ 2

Great effort for a solo project, the art is nice. The big problem I had was the audio which was grating at points (the attack sfx). Oh also questions are rather US centric, and isn't exactly General Knowledge. You may want to make Windows version, although I'm on a Mac and glad to see a Mac port. Anyway good choice of genres for the theme.

Yaxis by TimeLoad 2018-04-23T07:16:30Z ♥ 0

I beat all 8 levels! First game I play in this jam, and I hope they're all like this. Super innovative.

Cracks by YouBeStrong 2017-12-07T07:03:25Z ♥ 1

I like the game, especially the ending. I guessed there was some big reveal when I saw the art assets were all pixelised, and still didn't expect that. The hand drawn graphics were a nice thought.

Super Wall Paint! by beepyeah 2017-12-07T06:39:33Z ♥ 1

Controls are a bit hard, but overall a solid entry. I like the relaxing music.

Chick'n Invasion by NoeTheLazyDev 2017-12-07T00:50:13Z ♥ 1

I like how you gotta kill to keep your sanity! My one qualm is how it goes on kinda slowly at first, then once you get the katana (which is where it starts to actually get really fun) you just lose your sanity very quickly. Just need more balance. And the sounds of all the chicken was maddening, which was PERFECT. Thanks, that was fun and cathartic! And yay for using Godot!

Feed Them by Fis 2017-12-07T00:45:19Z ♥ 2

A lot of praise to the graphics. The gameplay is cool, reminiscent of Smash... But while Smash has events like knock outs, this just goes on a bit. Maybe you could implement a "gluttony death", or just lower the time? I also wanted more airborne directional controls. Nonetheless for the time spent, this was incredibly polished!

Dream Roamers by Jegus9 2017-12-07T00:41:05Z ♥ 1

Nice game. You put a lot of polish into the visual effects, which elevates the simple graphics. Ending texts are funny (DDLC!). I feel enemies need a bit more balance, and the theme could be more integrated. All in all, good job! Go Godot developers!

RE-SANTA by Thygrrr 2017-12-06T14:37:05Z ♥ 0

Funny, original, charming and festive.

Didgeribug in da place ! by Hippunk 2017-12-06T14:13:06Z ♥ 1

The bullet colors weren't so intuitive, but beyond that it was a very enjoyable experience. Great job with the graphics and audio!

Heavy Hearts by Badly Drawn Rod 2017-12-06T13:18:14Z ♥ 1

A fellow Godot user always gets a thumbs-up from me... except I've broken my thumb carrying 6 hearts on one balloon.

Substance by niborious 2017-12-06T13:07:22Z ♥ 1

Brilliant! Simple yet well executed graphics. Really enjoyed the hoarding. One problem I had was a split second freezeframe every couple seconds, not sure if any other had this problem? If not for that this game would have been perfect for me.

Saving Mr. Mittens by vividreality 2017-12-06T12:59:56Z ♥ 2

Here's my honest feedback, hope you take it with a grain of salt: 1. Good points: Graphics is good, I really like the mini maps and the way rooms light up when you enter. Music doesn't get in the way and sfx is cool. I like the chracter designs (are they inspired by Goombas and Link by any chance?).

2. Bad points: Controls being mouse click and the camera moving, it's hard to engage in combat. Also it takes so many clicks to get somewhere that my hand almost hurts. On that note, the (whether procedural or handmade) levels were inversely proportional to how little content there is per level. I have to walk a lot to get to one gold chest, and it gets tiresome. I feel you have created a sense of vastness with your portal and rooms, that if it had been more eventful, would have made a really exciting game (like Zelda's dungeons). Instead there's just not much to... well, explore. Nonetheless, with the time you had, I can understand the lack of events. Additionally I didn't feel much increase in difficulty as the monsters get angrier.

Overall good effort, and a decent sandbox that can be expanded on.

The Gravedigger by kezhaar 2017-12-06T12:41:43Z ♥ 0

Also can't vote because I don't have numpad keys :(. Hope OP fixes this for us soon.

Candy Cane County by JeromWaarom 2017-12-06T12:38:34Z ♥ 1

Cool game! Very intuitive game design. Got OVER 9000 points on my first try. It looks good, plays smoothly, and the music is good. It's a bit hard to hit the candy with your bullets, but nonetheless it's a great game!

P.S. I actually laughed when broccoli makes you barf :D

Lamattractive by Pandanym 2017-12-06T12:30:00Z ♥ 4

Fun game, bright graphics. I enjoy kicking children, thank you very much.

Stupid Citizen by Kef 2017-12-06T10:30:19Z ♥ 1

Wow, my performance was disappointing? 1/5!

Just kidding, great game, nice visuals, smooth controls. Definitely room for expansion. Good job!

Hotdogs Hunger and Hand Pain by SeanW 2017-12-05T02:08:28Z ♥ 1

Game is short and fun. Audio is 5/5. "arrrgh too cold!"

Busted! An Epic Cops Vs Robbers Endless Runner! by CaylebLucas 2017-12-05T01:49:11Z ♥ 2

Grand Theft on Foot. Good execution of an existing genre. A few qualms;

= Controls seems strange. W or Space to jump would be better. Also movement is a bit janky, jump takes too long and the jump curve should be steeper.

= Hitting a block seems to kill your run too easily. Maybe implement health, or just slow down when hit.

= Which is bad when your opening animation takes more than a couple seconds. Shorten it, or remove it after the first run.

All things considered, good job for a game made in less than 1 day!

Christmas Heist by NatalyCreates 2017-12-05T01:37:15Z ♥ 1

I like the Christmas theme! Interesting idea, well executed.

Color Collider by SarizaGames 2017-12-05T01:14:19Z ♥ 1

Looks good, nice idea. However, I'm not sure why but sometimes the colors don't mix correctly. i.e. Red + Yellow should become Orange, but become Red AND Orange instead. I'm playing on itch.io on Chrome.

Goblins 2 Go by SFBTom 2017-12-05T00:15:13Z ♥ 1

This looks amazing, and the gameplay is simple but entertaining. I love the idea and how you executed the theme.

Leader's guidance by ExNihilo 2017-12-04T13:38:30Z ♥ 1

The graphics is nice and sets the mood well. I only wish the controls were smoother. My biggest problem is with controls. It's hard to jump while walking, which is detrimental to a platformer. Still good job!

BulletCoin by randomphantom 2017-12-04T13:35:38Z ♥ 1

Great idea combining two existing genres of game to fit the theme! Beyond that, it gets old a bit, and the high pitched coin sound gets grating. Still I really like the idea.

DarkPixelAdventure by magicdidac 2017-12-04T13:28:02Z ♥ 1

Your first LD? You're kidding. THis is the best game I've played so far in this jam! Again testifying to the fact that great games don't need the best graphics. Controls are smooth to me, I had no trouble. You executed the theme super well, and with a great difficulty and learning curve. I can see this expanded into a full title in the future. 4.5/5

Greedy Dungeon by daul 2017-12-04T13:10:47Z ♥ 2

Plays super smooth. Don't know about the theme... Maybe you could make the connection between money and enemies clearer. Still great job.

Dense Revolve by fiaKaiera 2017-12-04T10:35:56Z ♥ 1

Hey thanks for the feedback on my game! I liked your game as well, it's challenging enough to be interesting, and short and simple once you "get it". I like that you have to keep the theme in mind to win. I would suggest tweaking the movement control a bit to be smoother (to emphasize the feeling when you're "free" as opposed to being dragged down by bullets), but otherwise a smooth, solid game!

Snèèz! by Mazzletov 2017-12-04T09:10:42Z ♥ 1

Simple, straightforward game. I would have liked to have some strategy instead of (if I understand correctly) leaving it to chance. Either way, it has a fitting mood to it, and I really like the audio! Not bad for your first game. Speaking of which, can you rate my game, it's my first time joining LD as well! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/noahs-apartment
