LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Functor by Enneract 2015-04-25T17:00:00

The idea is really nice, and the functions applied to the planets are rather amusing and interesting.
Still, the gameplay feels weird. Even after playing 15 minutes, I still can't understand which mouse button kills what color, nor if my shots have any effect. It seems like sometimes they do, some they don't. Also, sometimes it's awkard understanding what color I should try to destroy becuase they overlap.
Couldn't beat the easy level, nor get close to it. Still, using functions as a weapons for me is 5/5 on theme. Wish I could have enjoyed this more =(

It had a good moment at the start, but it's really hard to understand what to do.
Also, the gameplay is rather lacking, picking up objects is kinda hard (table highlights but you can't use it?) and throwing is also awkward and not rewarding.
Switching between character is a great idea though.

Wooly Defender by gogo199432 2015-04-24T15:39:00

I really like the idea, it really suits the theme. Graphics and UI seem polished, which is nice.
However, the overwall experience was lacking.
There is a throw power bar, but no reason to use anything else than lowest power.
Enemies are hard to see, and the catapult is hard to rotate to the right angle; mouse feels awkward.
Maybe, because of those control and graphics difficulties, I couldn't appreciate the gameplay that much.

Giant Spiky Ball of Death by RobotHoboDanceParty 2015-04-24T14:31:00

I had a difficult time with the ball mechanic, maybe wished for a longer chain, but it might be just me.
Still, I'd say it is a very fun game. Simple and addictive.

Move Them by remiv 2015-04-24T15:25:00

I want to start off by saying that I liked the game and the idea. It is simple, yet fun.
Still, some things from a design point of view:
- I wish I was able to see a grab animation/graphic to gauge what my range is
- Enemies spawning in circle maybe isn't the best idea
- Retaining speed through levels can be painful

Really nice idea, I really like the fact that the music changes as you keep going, like some kind of positive feedback.
The game was really hard, and I got frustrated before finishing it.
I also must say, that the music didn't feel like a weapon, but more like a puzzle, which could have been avoided with some notes spwaning at the player's location and moving towards the enemies

LD33 — You are the Monster

Hero Mate by Lancelot Gao 2015-08-26T11:47:00

A really good idea, and well executed

Internship Adventure by dancingmad 2015-08-28T20:45:00

Really nice idea, at first I thought it was cheap, but after playing it I have to say, the execution was solid.
I really liked the fact that you are the player's enemy, and that you don't have to BEAT him to "win" the game.
Sound was a bit repetitive and annoying.
This isn't the funniest game to play, but still, the best i've played in this Ludum dare, mood is good, art is nice, idea is great.
Good job

Reverse MMO by neroyow 2015-08-26T12:16:00

Solid and interesting idea. Too simple of an execution.
Maybe some core mechanics should be added, like more actions the slime can do and fighting style of the human.
