Hell on earth - Reverse TD by chrissou 2015-08-30T08:18:00
Good idea, it just needs a bit of polish =)
Could use a few special units with new abilities so there's some extra strategy involved.

This is such a cool concept =D
Got really stressfull after a while and I totally wish I had more hands and ways of input ^^
Played like a trickier version of Super Mega Worm. Nice =D
The simple controls worked really well. I'm happy I played this =)
So hard, but it's super fun =D
Super cute cat and pretty spooky mood. You did a great job =D
Very pleasing visuals =)
Would've liked to have some way of making sharper turns though. Felt really satisfying to crash into people ^^
Interesting interpretation of the theme, but I found the ending to be counter productive. When I found the last note I was all like "oh my... you poor thing" and then I entered the exit and now I get a screen that says everything is A-OK. Maybe it got to do with my personal interprenation but I think the ending should be a bit more on the sad side.
Great mood =)
This was so much fun! =D
Really enjoyed playing it.
Cute game, but I wouldn't mind some explanations for what some stuff means. Some things were a little unclear, like the cookie counter at each computer =)
Made me laugh and feel really bad about myself at the same time. Good job =D
Very nice point and click game =D
I wish it was clearer what objects you could interact with and what you couldn't at the moment. Took me a bit before I realised the different colors on the little pointer things =)
Really nice jam entry ^^
Feels perfect for tablets =)
I really liked the timed mode but I think it would be good if the archs the flies follow would differ in heights a bit. As it is the arcade mode gets pretty easy if you stay upp high and only go left and right.
Super cute and charming presentation, but not quite sure I agree with the frog being a monster ;)
SERIOUSLY!? How did you manage to make this in such a short time!? I'm super impressed! Not only were the graphics great, but the controls and gameplay were really solid.
If I had to point out anything it would be that I didn't feel like "the monster". I mean, I can clearly see that you play as a skeleton, but the other creatures felt evil...er. Like we played a righteous skeleton ^^
Would defend my grave after death again.
You got some really solid platforming going on here. Shame that the game doesn't really take advantage of that in any way =(
Would be more interesting if the humans were an actual threat in some way.
This was pretty fun. Personally I think the player gained a little too little speed from ramming cars but that's a minor and personal preference thing =)
I did however find it a little bit sensitive in the controls and I kept changing two lanes a lot when I only wanted to move one. Maybe it works better on mobile, I don't know.
Shame it wasn't arcade style with a highscore system. I wanted to see how far I could go... and then it ended :(
Had fun while it lasted though =D
Why does the monster get sad? Now I'm sad too :'(
This is the coolest thing! =D
Creating a game based on community shadow puppets sharing and giving it a "plausible" setup, genius!
This game raises so many questions, and I like pondering on them ^^
A bit too many collision issues for a platformer but I did feel the need to finish it, so you clearly hit that spot =)
How do you people manage to draw all those things in such little time!? Witchcraft I say!
This is awesome and it blows my mind that it's a compo entry.
I like it. Was an interesting experience trying to escape in this "special" text adventure ^^
The ending I got felt a little sloppy though. I might try again to see if there are more =)
I like your interpretation of the theme ^^
Wish there was a timer or something though since you had no reason to rush anything and accidently hit the mines. I would like something that made getting a highscore a challenge =)
Loved the mines sound effects =D
Not bad for a first game, but unfortunately the colission detection seems to have some issues if you're landing on multiple people at the same time.
Good luck with your continued devving =D
Interesting game. Wouldn't mind som faster animation speeds though. It's a bit slow for me =)
Nice idea but needs more polish =)
The player needs some alternative way of avoiding the spikes since it's pretty easy to come into situations you can't beat.
If I didn't trust you (which I do) I'd have a hard time believing that you made this in 48 hours ^^
I am super impressed =D
DADDYYYYY!!! =D
I felt so bad for the little fellas '^^
Clever puzzles and adorable graphics.
Very pretty to look at. Would be really nice with deeper mechanics =)
85 kills ^^
Not sure why the head shakes up and down like that. Seems a bit strange.
Classic arcade action, but I think there should be a bit more play area above the player for when the Jörmungandr grows around the pillar =)
Interesting take on the theme and clever use of it too ^^
The one thing that bothered me a bit was that the boat was way too slow for my taste without the speed boost.
Good entry =)
Enjoyable game =)
Interesting twist on the snake-formula with the limited movement but it did make the game more interesting. Well done =)
This is an excellent first comp. The silly humor is right up my alley and the gameplay makes perfect sense... in this particular context.
Would be nice to have some sort of radar so you know where people are, but it was a minor issue. This game brought a big smile to my face. Well done =D
Really impressive work. I guess Capsule wasn't a fluke =)
Great elevator puzzle. Made me feel like a genuine genius when I figured it out ^^
A shame that it's so short, as in I'd want to keep playing for longer =)
Bubbles and ninjas. What's not to like? Too bad you didn't have more time to polish this though =)
Really tricky to get used to the mechanics, but when you do it's a really interesting concept =)
Some areas still felt a wee bit too hard but with enough stubborness you can get past them.
Nice ending as well =)
Well... uhm... this is certainly an interesting interpretation of the theme '^^
Realised that I'm not much of a dual wielder.
I'd say that it's a bit too hard to catch even a single unicorn '^^
I love the use of the theme though and I think this game could be improved just by enlarging the play area so it's possible to turn after you catch the unicorns =)
Very well made =)
It took me a little time to understand that I needed to collect the floaty dot thingies to open the doors, but that's about the only flaw I could find in the presentation or in the game overall.
Enjoyed this a lot =D
This thing is hard XD
I'd suggest placing the bird a little further to the left since you need some time to react to what's coming. The up/down movement seemed way to harsh to me at first, but I can kind of see the appeal to that now.
Fun entry =)
Now this was certainly a clever use of unconventional weapons '^^
Could use a bit of tweaking mechanically to make the experience last longer but I did enjoy myself while it lasted. Did not expect the impossible level to actually be... impossible. Well played =D
Wow, just wow. Are you sure you made this yourself in 48h? Because this was really awesome =D
This game is way more polished than I expect a compo entry to be ^^
Fancy text adventure. The biggest issue is the grammar and spelling but I guess you already knew that. An interesting little story and it's always nice with stories with multiple paths =)
I did not expect to see a fighting game from a LD Compo. Really impressive work =)
Super beautiful and awesome setting ^^
It's a shame you don't have any sound though. The controls are a little bit wonky, but that's to be expected from a web release.
Would be nice to see an expanded release with a few more levels, sound and as a desktop application so the controls get better ^^
I like the idea of not having regular health bars for the critters in a TD game, but three steps in the process might be too much, maybe that's just me though.
It seems I can't lose health either, even though I don't clean the cats properly.
Congratulations on your first LD by the way =)
I love the cube grass. So bloody adorable =D
Other than that I must say that the controls were too sluggish for my taste and the bread launcher probably should have a bit more "umph" in it.
That grass needs to be used in more projects though ^^
I liked it, but I think it would work better with mouse controls. By using the arrow keys you limit the speed in which the player is able to move, and possible stress related planet bombardment will not reach it's peak because of this.
Quite enjoyable nontheless =)
Super impressed by the design. To use puzzle mechanics combined with that arcade style slicing thing, brilliant. You sir have earned my first 5 star rating for this LD =)
Managed to beat all levels. That I actually wanted to beat all the levels says something about this game ^^
Were a bit too easy to cheat on some of the earlier levels with shortcuts though =)
A solid puzzle game. I'd say it's a bit tight with the antidote duration but I'm perfectly fine with letting that slide since the puzzles themselves are nicely balanced =)
This surprised the stuffing out of me =D
I love the "weapon" and the mechanics that come with it. This is currently the most innovative and best use of the theme that I've seen in this LD.
A pleasant game, but I wish there were some kind of win/lose condition. The movements could use some tweaking since the gameplay really doesn't suit the tank-style controls.
Cute bunnies though =)
Clever use of the theme, but the targets were a bit too small to be fired upon accurately with the speed you were forceed to have as the player. Still, a really fun game even in this unpolished stage =)
Pretty intense space shooter. I liked it, but I wouldn't mind knowing why I kept shooting at everything '^^
Really solid controls =)
A classic concept =)
It was a nice touch to add the planets the player reached while playing.
This was a lot more fun than I initially thought it would be. I guess the risk of shooting survivors if I didn't carefully aim added a lot to the gameplay. Would have liked to see some way to move survivors who wanted to hug the cannon for some reason. Shooting them in the face worked, but it seemed counter productive '^^
Very interesting game, even in the unpolished state a development time of 48h brings ^^
This game certainly has potential to become something more if given some extra time in development =)
These controls were pretty cool. To actually use sinus curves as a way to control two characters simultaneously... brilliant!
I really like this concept. A shame that it doesn't contain anything more at this stage. Keep it up ^^
Very literal interpretation of the theme ^^
Those controls need some extra TLC to work properly and for some reason I didn't drop the artifacts when I fell off the edge, but I did play to the end so there's something to be had here =)
A well made entry, but a little bit too basic in the gameplay department =)
Awesome game. Some sort of radar would have been nice but this is so far the most entertaining game I've tried during LD30.
This is beautiful. A short story told through the best means possible. I definitely felt something =)
I like these slow expanding world/population kind of games. Although it wouldn't hurt with a few more things for the player to do. Maybe some direct interaction with the people would make things a bit more interesting =)
Without any set of rules this game looses most of it's potential. Start by adding a loose condition and then see if you can find some way to make the gameplay a bit more exciting =)
I'm really impressed. Did not expect to get sucked into this storyline the way that I did. Great writing and excellent humour. Would definitely not mind playing an expanded version of this ^^
This is way harder than I thought it would be =D
With a bit of spooky ambience and some way to run from the spooky things this would hit the jackpot for me =)
I'm really impressed that you managed to create a decent RTS in 48h, with a campaign nonetheless! =D
This is a really interesting concept. It's a shame there aren't more levels in this version but what could one expect with such a tight development window.
Well done =)
I like this, even though fart jokes isn't my thing =)
The controls are good and the farting does have it's gameplay functionality, but I would've liked to see some kind of instructions on what to do next.
This is awesome =D
Really well done classic gameplay and I absolutely love both art styles. I found it kinda weird though that I almost got dehydrated in the initial aquarium because I didn't bash my way out of it immediately '^^
To play as a monster but be forced to control your own urges to devour everything in order to not run out of food... brilliant! With some nice sound effects and a prettier monster this could be something special =)
Simple but effective plattformer. Great idea to let the lamp act as a timer and visual aid. I am impressed =)
It's like some kind of action version of Pipe Dream, and I love it =D An "upgraded" version with simulated water would be really neat and present some interesting puzzle challenges. One of the best games I've had the pleasure to try out during this LD-event ^^
The music could be a little quieter though. Started of nice and after a few moments MY SPEAKERS SCREAM AT ME!!!
Since I can lower my speakers it's not a biggie, but I felt I had to mention something to improve upon ^^
It's an interesting concept but the gameplay would probably benefit more if it handled the combat closer to Punch Out rather than a dancing rythm game. Still, the concept is good but needs to be tweaked a bit =)
This is really impressive. Sure it got some rough edges but this is way better than I expect from a 3D action game made in 48 hours. Really nice interpretation of the theme =)
This became a lot more engaging than I thought it would =)
It would be good if there was something to make it clearer in which area an item needs to be in order to correspond to a certain customer. Still, this reminds me of my favourite mini-game in Backpacker 2. The fruit/fish sorting mini-game =D
Impressive variation with the enemies and that final boss thingie =)
Would have been good to have some clearer audio feedback when it's time to reload and something extra to the gunplay wouldn't hurt either.
Nice spin on the classic "whack a mole" =)
Could probably use something to make the background more interesting.
Btw, 741 points =D
Funny mechanics, although if you plan on doing something more with this project you should do something about the ability to cheat by standing on the block that you move =)
I sort of wish this was a full fledged game. Digging up graves in search of notes felt like a dark version of Gone Home.
This is great. Maybe with some extra powerups of some sort this could become a pretty memorable puzzle game.
I'm really impressed that you included a tutorial. I'm guessing most people would skip it due to the time constraint =)
Cool concept, but as others have stated the lack of solid gameplay makes this pretty but lacking in fun factor.
You managed to capture that underwater feeling pretty well with small resources and I really liked that. It's a shame there's absolutely no sound though. That would add a lot to the experience.
I liked it. Feels like some kind of board game. Could have used some extra strategy elements but this is a good entry for the 48h comp ^^
This is a cool concept, but I think a game like this would profit more from a "isometric"-style viewpoint. Anyhow, this game is great and I'd love to see this idea expand into something bigger =)
I really enjoyed this. A simple action/gardening game that feels like an 80's arcade game. With some nice music, tweaks for the stats (they are kind of hard to spot) and some overall polish this would be a pretty decent game =)
LD37 — One room (25)
I Clean Toilet by Flaterectomy 2016-12-25T14:27:00
Very impressive entry. Did not expect to be cleaning toilets this holiday, but here I am ^^
Would have liked to have some sort of break between levels. Sure, the ending animation is long enough for a break, but I'd rather be able to choose when I start the next level. Sometimes you need a toilet break you know =)
Keeper of the Altar by BlackBulletIV 2016-12-25T14:11:00
I have nothing to add. Great entry with an amazing amount of polish. Had to check twice to confirm that this was a compo entry =)
Very well done.
one room arena by Starlight glimmer is best poney 2016-12-25T13:45:00
Congrats on completing your fist LD compo entry :D
A pretty good one at that ^^
The controls are tricky to use but work pretty well once you get into it. The biggest flaw currently in my opinion is the one hit restriction (as mentioned by others). It's a pretty fast moving game but also really punishing when you make smaller mistakes. In my humble opinion you should always (within reason) allow the player to make a comeback =)
Enjoyed this a lot though. Hope you'll come back for the next LD ^^
Echo Chamber by masterkrepta 2016-12-25T13:29:00
I like the concept, but the difficulty scaling is a bit too slow. Takes a pretty long time before it actually becomes challenging.
Mouse House by conrad123 2016-12-23T20:24:00
It's definitely cute ^^
I think the choice of using reacing controls for the mouse is interesting, but may I suggest using a traditional 8-way control scheme instead. Still, I do like that you experimented a bit and didn't choose obvious methods. It gives the game some extra character =)
Well done ^^
Cure4Life by Gipzo 2016-12-23T19:07:00
Very nice zombie wave slasher thingie =)
I don't have anything big to add that hasn't been said but I did find the camera to be a bit uncooperative when you wanted it to scroll down. The camera worked perfect when scrolling upwards though ^^
Very nice job =)
Freedom by Cody Hansen 2016-12-19T23:01:00
I am impressed =)
Simple concept but the music and the narrative really helped to enhance the mood. Got way more emotionally invested than I anticipated at the end ^^
Defend One Room by Fib 2016-12-19T20:07:00
I really enjoyed that there wasn't any standard economy but instead limited amount of cannons. I sucked pretty bad at it though and lost at wave 8 =(
Wouldn't mind seeing this grow a little bit ^^
Bad Panda - The ex-panda-ble by Kingblork 2016-12-19T19:55:00
Not quite sure why I slaughtered all the pandas, but I had a blast doing it ^^
The gameplay might be a little bit too fast for any precision gameplay but at least the amount of health allowed for some mistakes. Really nice entry =)
Locked UP by Barink-social 2016-12-19T19:44:00
I like puzzles ^^
Didn't quite understand some of the notes though so had to run around and see what I could interact with. The timer seemed a bit short considering how many tasks you have to do but maybe I'm just not that good with puzzles =)
Agoraphobic by tylerraz 2016-12-19T18:58:00
Not my kind of humor. It could use some more visual feedback on hits and when collecting powerups =)
Dark room by cushycode 2016-12-19T18:44:00
I found the cat, TWICE! ;D
An interesting concept but the lack of any sound is unfortunate. It's a bit too easy to get stuck on objects but otherwise the game is pretty solid ^^
Race-A-Room by Th3dz 2016-12-19T18:31:00
Really cool racing game, especially considering it's a compo entry. It's pretty hard to stay on track but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Ignoring some minor bugs I'd say that the biggest flaw this game has is that it doesn't feel like I'm racing in a room since the track covers most of it all the time. Most of the time it feels like I'm racing on a futuristic track inspired by F-zero rather than a toy track.
Would smash my car into the wall again ^^
Room One by BlackQuiltro 2016-12-19T18:19:00
I find it really interesting that you're using a game mechanic that's usually used in turn based games and used it for real time battles. The controls are a bit tricky though when you only have the mouse to control everything with.
With some keyboard shortcuts and slight control tweaks I think this game could grow quite a bit =)
Solitary Confinement by tsjost 2016-12-14T22:28:00
This game is kind of evil... in the right kind of way ^^
Super curious about the ambient sound though. Did you like... hang the microphone outside the window for a while or something? Very fascinating ambiance nontheless =)
Chrome Room by Palarus 2016-12-14T21:56:00
Really solid puzzle game =)
The only nitpicky thing I feel I need to point out is that the obstacles seems pretty random in the way they work. I can't be sure beforehand where the ball is likely to bounce when it hits them and that seems pretty strange for a puzzle game.
Really liked it though and kinda regret that I didn't try the Android version since that seems like the most fitting way to play this.
Flippy Grippy by Grimelios 2016-12-14T21:26:00
Yay! Platformer puzzles ^^
A shame there's no sound or music, but that level transitioning is just utterly beautiful. Very well done =)
Unfortunately the game crashes for me every single time I try to finish that first level where you have to pass the laser, so I don't know what mechanics you would have shown after that =(
Would be super cool though if there were levels that used the level transitioning as part of the puzzle though.
Room Takeover by RuinWalker 2016-12-14T20:17:00
Really interesting action puzzle. It could use some tiny explanations in the beginning on the mechanics and later on newer mechanics, but this could definitely grow into something quite solid =)
Tail Arena by kernel panic 2016-12-14T19:46:00
It doesn't look like much but it's surprisingly fun to play ^^
Managed to get 12 points but that was really hard. Could probably have used a little tweak on the difficulty curve but it's really fun to play already. Good job =)
The Story of a Ministry of Truth Employee by Hjalte500 2016-12-14T19:34:00
Interesting game but the result screen disappeared way too fast for me to actually read what it said. Got some unfortunate clipping issues with the text but considering the kind of game this is I would be surprised if everything worked perfectly in such a short amount of time =)
I assume you've played "The Westport Independent"? If you haven't I recommend that you do. It's pretty close to what you've made =)
Lost Veil by Spencer Alves 2016-12-14T19:18:00
Kind of weird puzzles, but I'll roll with it ^^
A shame that it wasn't longer cause I do enjoy escape room kind of puzzle games =)
Inside The Box by illblew 2016-12-14T18:56:00
Well this was unexpectedly creepy. I feel like this game is trying to tell me something, but I can't quite work out what that would be. Would have liked to see a few more interaction possibilities. Maybe I missed them?
Connection is lost by MrJackphil 2016-12-14T18:46:00
Interesting concept. Can't say I quite understood why I lost though '^^
I guess I got hungry, but I can't see how I would know what needs I needed to focus on. If there was something in the UI that told me, then I completely missed it =)
Royal Roomba Rumble by SwedishCheese 2016-12-14T18:38:00
I really like the concept of the game. Easy controls and simple but logical mechanics. The biggest drawback is the quite small room, because after playing for a little bit you start to go around in the same circle over and over again.
Would Roomba again ^^
1 Room and 48 Hours by meg 2016-12-14T18:27:00
Bonus points for being super meta ^^
Really liked it, but I feel like maybe the playing time on one round is a little short. I mean, 48h goes by really fast when you're aiming for a LD Compo deadline, but maybe not quite that fast ^^
