LD30 — Connected Worlds

A Two-in-One Deal by HawkSandwich 2014-08-25T23:43:00

Right, the reason behind "Click here to exit game" not working is that this game was originally going to be a download and not a web-based game. I changed my mind last second, making that call useless... Sorry I let that slip my mind :3

A Two-in-One Deal by HawkSandwich 2014-08-31T09:09:00

Thanks, everyone!

A Two-in-One Deal by HawkSandwich 2014-09-14T06:43:00

Tanjent, great idea, I'll keep that in mind if I make another game with these controls..

496e737472756374696f6e by DDFranky 2014-08-24T21:04:00

I like the game, but I don't feel like I'm IN the game...

496e737472756374696f6e by DDFranky 2014-08-24T21:36:00

By that I mean the controls aren't very 'vivid' for a lack of a better word... Other than that, awesome game

LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

An Unconventional Sound by YSelf Tool 2015-04-19T03:44:00

Very cool idea!

LD35 — Shapeshift

Geometry Garden by Evgiz 2016-04-17T22:35:00

I LOVE this game. It's so fun and pretty to look at too.

Wild West Canyon Crusher by chocobyte 2016-04-17T22:27:00

It's buggy, kind of hard to see, and the camera rotates weird. Also sound would be nice. It's not a terrible game but it's not the best.

Beyond Human by Martin Enderleit 2016-04-17T22:17:00

I like it

The Mysterious Shapeshifter by TheColorMan 2016-04-20T17:40:00

This is the coolest idea ever, you need to make an improved, full version of this game.

Bee Gone by bobismijnnaam 2016-04-18T09:14:00

Kinda hard but sooooo awesome. So far it's my favorite.

Down the Drain by nopogo 2016-04-18T09:17:00

Nice work

Change the Formality by Dooskington 2016-04-18T03:59:00

Great game, buggy, but great.

Shapes of a party official by eemmbbeerr 2016-04-20T17:59:00

This is a great game. The visual aesthetics don't come together too well, but still managed to set the mood. I recommend taking this game further.

Best Game Ever by TheJJ100100 2016-04-17T22:14:00

What is this xD

Shape Runner by verzoto 2016-04-18T03:55:00

Good idea, hard controls.

FriendShift Madness by vini60 2016-04-18T03:45:00

Nice game, it's fun to play and addicting

A Slimy Fellow by Ourson 2016-04-17T22:10:00

Very cool, I love it. And I'm not even a huge fan of these kinds of games

The Protagonist by Big Cow 2016-04-20T18:53:00

It was more of a comic than a game, but still a good.. Erm, thing

Shape Shifter by Reisen 2016-04-18T03:49:00

Funny af. Nice work

LabSwap by Mr.Chippy 2016-04-20T18:39:00

Great idea. Pretty difficult but still great fun

Shapeshifting Ice Hockey by LavWa 2016-04-18T03:52:00

I'm not one to complain about graphics, but it kind of broke the immersion for me, still fun though. Nice controls and sound

BirdBoy by Nintendo_obsessed (Obsessive Studios) 2016-04-18T09:06:00

Cool concept, but I feel like it could be further polished. ALso the music is very repetitive. Cool game though

The Door by Joanrelos 2016-04-17T22:04:00

Kind of fell short in the end, a little disappointing but I feel like if you weren't on a two-day limit you could have made something that would interest me a lot.

The Mist by ShadowTemplar 2016-04-20T19:01:00

Nice game. Fun to play but kind of difficult. Awesome graphics, not that that needs to be said.

Tankahedron by binarycoder 2016-04-20T17:35:00

The controls are terrible, but the idea of the game is pretty cool in theory

Dr. Deckenstein: An Adventure in Severed Parts by quill18 2016-04-18T05:31:00

I love playing your games

Grokh's Arena by Cerno_b 2016-04-18T09:20:00

I like the way it looks and plays

Shape it! by _beta 2016-04-18T08:40:00

Maybe add a little more depth somehow, it's not a bad game though

Agent Shift by jollyserpent 2016-04-18T08:55:00

It had a great feel to it, kind of reminded me of Papers, Please!

Everyone's Evil Twin by JJJANEE 2016-04-20T18:44:00

So hard to understand :/

Shapeshift by hildegarbage 2016-04-18T08:37:00

Nice game

Tetrikado by mightymarcus 2016-04-20T18:12:00

It's okay, kinda fun and not a bad game

Flipsy Shapes by Persimonn Pomelo 2016-04-18T03:57:00

Meh, it's very "flat". There's no depth in the gameplay and gets old after just a little while.

Adventure School by peter_szegedi 2016-04-17T22:30:00

I like the art

SlimeShift by darksshades 2016-04-18T03:25:00

Sort of boring, but everything was put together nicely so I couldn't give it a bad overall rating.

Alieniced by seveca95 2016-04-20T17:32:00

Great game. Cool mechanics, great feel to the graphics, etc.

LD36 — Ancient Technology

The Safegaurd of Goldfinch Rock by Iseeicy 2016-08-30T04:19:00

The enemy models are really cool xD Also the game is genuinely fun to play, the movement feels fantastic, and I think I'll keep this one on my pc

The Awakening of the Golem by DragonZBW (SparkLight Games) 2016-08-30T03:55:00

This game is nice xD The controls are a little loose, but it is fun and humorous XD GOod job

Archaic Light by NinjaNic 2016-08-29T01:03:00

There's not much in the way of what you can do, but I feel like with more gameplay this could be pretty fun :D

Unearth-Burial by abhimonk 2016-08-29T01:30:00

This game is nice, it genuinely captured me, making me want to know what happened to my fren' :///

Crystalline Computations by Skye 2016-08-30T03:41:00

It's a bit much to try to remember everything, but it's a great concept :D Nice work

La ciudad que ocultaba by Capitals 2016-08-31T13:17:00

It's a great idea, and you pretty much nailed the feel I think you were going for. The music was nice, the visuals were nice (Except for the font, but maybe that's just me :/). Overall a good game, and overall a great Ludum Dare entry.

Buried Maze by Thirzen 2016-08-30T03:49:00

I've spent more time on this than and LD36 game so far. It's simple and it works.

Ramanet Pharaonis by CalmKai 2016-08-30T03:38:00

I can't look around 360 degrees (at least on the webgl) because the cursor doesn't lock :'( I suggest you update it, otherwise it's basically unplayable. Either that or I've done something wrong

Topeka Jones: Raider of the Lost Temple by TeamKawaiiju 2016-08-30T04:36:00

Looks nice, has cool puzzles, it's great. The ending is a bit abrupt but of course that was due to lack of time. Hard to believe this was made in 3 days, great job :D

LD37 — One room

Withstand by PaidGEEK 2016-12-15T19:56:00

I like how the controls are responsive. The gravity thing is a neat mechanic. It'd be nice if there was an ammo counter, but other than that I can't say many bad things about this one :)

Defeat the Kraken by quentinus60 2016-12-13T13:46:00

It doesn't give off a unified feel, and it feels a bit messy. It doesn't say "one room" to me in any way, and it's pretty unbalanced. If it were to be fleshed out more, i feel like it could be quite fun. I've always been a fan of boss fights :)

Domain by dobnarr 2016-12-13T14:03:00

Wow really nice. It's truly fun to play, and I was kind of sad when I ran out of levels. It's different, and it's great fun. The controls are easily understandable, and this game reminded me of several from childhood. I recommend making a part 2, and spending a month or so on it! :D
The single complaint I have is that you get thrown a wall of text before any gameplay. Of course since it's not a wall of complex controls, it's much less painful. Still something to consider. Great entry :D

Essay Writer 5000 by MrEvilGuy 2016-12-14T11:01:00

Great entry xD It's a bit too long, but for the amount I played it I really enjoyed it. It's funny, clever, and just a good game. The graphics could use work but I can look past that ;)

1 biT Strike by SamuelSousa 2016-12-13T12:16:00

I feel you definitely captured the feel that I assume you were going for, nicely done

The Bloodbath by Aster0id2000 2016-12-14T12:35:00

It's nice! It's pretty "same-y", but for what it is, it felt nice to play and it's classic fun. Good job with this!

Notepad Hero by hadongee 2016-12-14T12:39:00

Nicely done! The graphics are great, the music is nice, and the gameplay feels smooth and responsive. I like this one :)

Watchers by Roffe71 2016-12-13T14:45:00

Even though simplistic, the graphics are pretty interesting. The gameplay is pretty mice, and the controls simple. Good job

Claustrophobia by JOrbits 2016-12-15T18:14:00

This is a good entry :)
The controls were nice and simple, the graphics were nice and it was genuine fun to play. The scoring's a bit harsh, though xD

Try, Get fried, Repeat by pagi 2016-12-14T12:52:00

A nice entry :D It's fun to try to find new ways about the room. The controls may be a bit weird but it's no bit problem. It's a fun little game, good job!

Brian by Noxim 2016-12-13T13:03:00

This one's okay, it's unique, I can give you that. Overall it was nice, I stayed for the whole thing and enjoyed the story. As for fun, there really wasn't much to do and the investment was kind of low. I still would rate this higher than some other entries, but I feel it definitely needs more work.

Loop of Eternity by Khud0 2016-12-13T12:37:00

Amazing job, I have lots to say.
Most importantly, I really appreciate you kept it simple. You had a main, small mechanic and milked it for all it was worth. That's one thing I wish most indies would stick to, as keeping these games simple really allow room for polish and graphics, and you nailed that.
The feel was nice, the controls are responsive. The ships' designs are very nice and I genuinely enjoyed playing. Although I don't feel the shooting sounds really fit the style, I certainly wasn't bothered by them and the music was fantastic. It's hard to believe this was made in 2 days, great job :)

One Game by rainssong 2016-12-14T11:50:00

Pretty nice :) It's fun to choose and see how it tailors the store. Nicely done!

The legend of the cheese by TubbyS 2016-12-13T15:03:00

It's alright, an attempt at something that could be fun. I like platformers like this, but it's just kind of overwhelming. The graphics could definitely use some love.

Little Knights by Serval Games 2016-12-15T19:12:00

The concept is nice, but the game really lacks polish. You can walk behind things that should be in the background, the footstep sound continues to play when you go into a new room, among other things. I feel more time should have been spent fixing bugs than making content, but if it were more polished this would be a much better game :) Nonetheless, good entry

one room arena by Starlight glimmer is best poney 2016-12-15T17:51:00

The graphics were okay, the huge arrow icon behind people was a bit distracting. The controls weren't great, the bouncing was kinda painful. If the controls were better, this would be a fun entry ;)

VaporArenaWave クール by Tilemapping 2016-12-15T12:19:00

Really nice entry, this one...
First off, as for gameplay, I enjoyed it. Not much more to say about that. Secondly, graphics <3_<3
I realllly love what you were going for with this one. It really sets a mood I'm a huge fan of. The big mountain with the face, the totems, the skybox -- everything. Nice, nice entry.

Escape The Room by DevilLime 2016-12-15T19:34:00

Too bad it's unfinished. The music was really nice, shame you didn't allow for audio voting.

One Room Puzzle by KobiHawk 2016-12-15T19:27:00

Nice game. I like that you can plan your moves, and there are no ways to get trapped (at least not that I ran into). Good game :D

Bruce, the escaping ant by pcmxms 2016-12-13T12:31:00

I have good things and bad things to say about this one. We'll start with the bad.
The controls are dreadful, the lack of air control makes it more annoying to try try to jump onto things than not. Other than that the controls are okay, but jumping definitely needs to be different.

Onto the good things.
The graphics are okay, I feel like if you had a little more time you would have made something quite pleasing to look at.
The music is alright, and a hell of a lot better than anything I could do.
Overall, I feel like you either ran out of time with this one or you're early along your journey. Either way, definitely not the worst entry :)

atomic-swerve by atomic_swerve 2016-12-13T13:52:00

Interesting, and I like the music. There isn't much more to say about it, unfortunately.

Smallest Dungeon by Reuno 2016-12-13T12:20:00

Very nicely done, I really like the feel, the graphics, and of course the music is brilliant.

Perfidious Albion by Ysty 2016-12-13T13:14:00

It's pretty nice overall. There's a nice balance of "Oh, quick, time to think!" and "Alright, time to calm down and read a letter". The graphics, although not amazing, all fit together and that's pretty important. This was a nice game that fit the theme nicely, good work :)

RooM by anatolat 2016-12-13T13:38:00

It's very Binding of Isaac. It's nice, but it's super short. It definitely could use work, and the audio is pretty bad :/ Other than that, good job

The Pit by Soundless_dev 2016-12-14T11:53:00

It's pretty neat, the controls are a bit hard to get behind, but it's not a huge problem. The game's responsive and simple fun. Good entry :)

Room Kingdom by Oxeren 2016-12-14T10:38:00

Overall it was good, it was somewhat confusing and I still don't really understand it. The graphics were alright, the sound pretty good. Nice entry

Doom Tomb of the True Room by Flatgub 2016-12-13T20:15:00

Pretty nice, it plays well and looks good. Nice work :)

Sides Adventures by Meta-link 2016-12-15T18:00:00

Nice entry. The controls were okay, the graphics were nice, I'd like a tutorial or something, but it's not too hard to get the hang of it after a few tries. Pretty fun little game :D

Tiny Escape by DMajor 2016-12-15T17:39:00

This isn't a bad thought, but it wasn't very well executed :/
A few tips about things that caused me a lot of frustration while playing:
Textures. In a game where you have to walk long distances, a texture can really help you feel like you're going somewhere. If all you can see is the same 100% smooth floor underneath you, it feels like you're standing still.
Another thing: The controls were terribly slippy. In a platformer, nice controls are key. If your controls are bad in a game like this, people will give up instantly.
Lastly, a shadow. You added a shadow to the player, but have one directly under you, even though less realistic, can really feel nice and helps the player do what they wanna do. Nice concept, but you may need some more practice ;)

Stick Figure Animator [NOT A GAME] by thebmxeur 2016-12-13T13:40:00

Wow, really cool. Confusing, but I suppose that's unavoidable with this. Nicely done :D

A new beginning by SuperChihuahua 2016-12-14T11:46:00

I'm not a fan of this one :/ The controls feel so spazzy, I feel like I'm walking on ice, and it's just so hard to get into. Also the goal isn't clear at all and the sound was deathly :( sorry, but this could definitely be much better.

Room at Night by JulianMH 2016-12-15T18:40:00

This is a good game, I played it all the way through which is more than I can say for some other entries ;)
The mood was nice, the graphics were great and it was a very polished game :D Good job!

Can into space by Ogniok 2016-12-14T11:34:00

Nice entry :) The graphics feel great, the gameplay is nice. It's a bit confusing at first but with a game like this I guess I can't complain too much about that. A tutorial level would've been nice though

Brookzerker by brookzerker 2016-12-15T12:35:00

Not a bad entry. I'd assume, since this is a remake, that you're early on your game dev journey. If so, good job! The paddle was a bit too slow to catch things AND hit the ball, but other than that this one was pretty fun, and not frustrating xD Good entry!

The Tortile Chamber by Nanolotl 2016-12-14T10:27:00

Good job, the puzzles were nice and the game was pretty trippy xD

Three Minutes to Midnight by BlueTheLemon 2016-12-13T12:26:00

Looking past the grammatical errors, I think this game has a very nice ambiance about it. The sound is nice, and it gives a nice illusion of choice. Good work :)

Pixelander by eddynardo 2016-12-13T12:50:00

I really do like this one. I like that you picked a mechanic and made 15 levels from it. The graphics aren't bad, the controls are perfectly explained and easy to get a grip on. I like that there are multiple ways to beat a level and that there are no game breaking glitches (that I found ;)) Good job :D

Open-Plan Office Distractions by Somnium 2016-12-13T13:21:00

It seems nice, the graphics are cool and going into it I thought it was something I'd get hooked on. However, I have some complaints.
My largest of which is the fact that you either can't interact with anything, or you haven't said how to clearly. This is a huge problem as it causes a lot of frustration and confusion.
Secondly, throwing a wall of text at the player before anything else could very easily cause them to close the game first thing. You should probably tease, or promise some fun or something first.
Also, the text about their new project goes by far too quickly to read, which leads to being behind and not knowing what's going on.

A bank is a dangerous place by JK5000 2016-12-14T11:11:00

Almost 4 stars in every category. nicely done. I genuinely enjoyed this one, you managed to make it so that you feel pressure but you still are engaged with it and don't feel like you're being drowned. The voice acting was pretty good, the graphics are pretty nice. Fun gameplay, a nice simple, short game. Good work :)

The Exterminators Part II by Jigosystems 2016-12-13T20:09:00

A bit too short, and there seemed to be no challenge. Other than that, this one's an eye catcher for me, I feel it has potential.

Defend the Nukes! by Asturk 2016-12-15T11:43:00

Nice entry! It's fun, and there's depth in that there are multiple ways to do things. I like this one :D

Scarehouse by MrNyarlathotep 2016-12-15T11:52:00

The game's pretty good. The sound is satisfying and feels nice to kill something. However, 100 health is far too much in this game considering a hit only takes 1 off. It makes the game more boring than exciting. In terms of looks, it doesn't look half bad. Good entry :)

The Leaky Ceiling by SoulBound 2016-12-15T19:46:00

It was really slow to start out, and unclear what you were supposed to do. I couldn't catch the water drop.

Horde Room by Tutti Ankka 2016-12-15T19:15:00

It's a nice entry :D
It's fun to play, the graphics are nice. The main thing I don't like is that when you open the shop the zombies keep coming after you, which makes it a little difficult. Other than that, the controls were responsive and it was a pretty polished game. Nice!

Survive LDJam 37 by Wirdo91 2016-12-15T12:40:00

A nice entry in theory, but there are a few problems.
I couldn't get hunger to go down. I ate the entire fridge yet my hunger continued at a slow climb. I couldn't work on the game, either. If these things weren't game-breaking, I think I'd have serious fun with this one, I really like the idea of it. Great entry ;)

Rworld by blackbird806 2016-12-15T18:18:00

The controls are really hard to get a grip on :/
Sound would be nice. You can glitch through walls. Other than that, it's a nice entry

Father Hustler and his holy room by ElKorbo 2016-12-14T10:41:00

This game is terribly confusing. First thing's first, you throw the player a wall of controls to memorize. Never a good idea. Secondly, I'm not sure what was even going on and it's so confusing xD Maybe if it were more well-taught, it could be a good entry :)

The Fishing Cabin by sreal 2016-12-13T12:43:00

This one's quite nice, or at least it has potential.
I get the feeling you just ran out of time with this one.
The art style is nice, the music relaxing.
That being said, I don't feel like I could spend more than a few minutes on this one, simply due to lack of progression, or points, or anything really. Unless I'm just missing out on the controls of the game, I feel like there should be more there. If I am just missing some obvious controls, then that's an area you need to work on. Overall, nice game I suppose. If it were a more fleshed out game I'd definitely enjoy its meditative atmosphere.

Kitchen Defender Ants Attack! by KunoNoOni 2016-12-15T19:01:00

This is pretty good entry xD
The controls were nice, the game was fairly polished. The sound wasn't great. The gameplay was straightforward. Overall nice entry

Room Escape by Tifu 2016-12-13T15:11:00

It feels nice, and fits the theme very well. The puzzles were well thought out and it's a nice game :) Great job

Kitchen Wizard Pinball by quill18 2016-12-14T12:57:00

Another great entry, quill :D I love pinball, and this one's a nice take. the controls are nice and responsive, the game is simple and straightforward. Good job!

Saving Christmas by TCD 2016-12-14T12:09:00

It's alright, it's a nice concept at least. However, the "new ball" spawning is very much luck-based, as it can spawn in ways so that it's impossible to dodge it in time. Also it's very much all the same, no progression or anything :/ Overall, nice entry and I think with a little more love it could be much better.

LD40 — The more you have, the worse it is

Temples of Purgatory by Gulyasarni66 2017-12-04T18:19:33Z

I don't think "music" should be the first thing you adress when rating a game, but I gotta say: the music is really nice. I can see myself listening to the soundtrack while making a game of my own. The art, environment, and overall mood are nice, and it feels like a polished game. The controls weren't so great, though. The inability to strave costed me health points many a time. What I would suggest here is to either let the player look side-to-side with the mouse or with the arrow keys instead of "a and d," and let those be side-to-side movement. This would make avoiding enemies much more fun. Good work :)

The More You Snow by Evan Polekoff 2017-12-04T19:11:15Z

This is honestly a really really good entry. As it stands, it's a bit hard to control, you get stuck a lot, etc. That being said, it's such a great core mechanic and I'd love to see an actual full game like this. Rolling gets harder as you go, and of course that fits the theme well, but it does cause some frustration. If you were to make a full version of this, definitely try to make getting stuck a less frequent occurance. Good job, it's the best entry I've played so far ;)

The 1D107 Exterminator by Gris 2017-12-04T18:28:11Z

The music and sound effects are nice. Here's a problem that isn't so much about the game but rather about code: it's too laggy. With 100 enemies, the game shouldn't be laggy. The way to avoid this is: instead of having so much code on each enemy that has "Update()" in their script, have a "controller" script that has a single "Update()" function that does the thinking for every enemy. This will allow you to have potentially thousands of enemies in a game like this with little to no performance cost. Thirdly, there's too much text. The first thing people want to do when they load up your action-shooter is to action-shoot! Maybe fill them in on just the controls as they need them, but keep the story to a minimum OR fill them in on it after they're already hooked into your game. Either way, good job with ludum dare :)

This is pretty nice. Clicking so much gets a little tiring, but it's fun to play overall. Good job with this entry :)

It's nice to control and is fun, but it's really really confusing. Instead of having to free your mouse to press a button, maybe you should have a little "press E" thing come up when you're close enough or something.

I'm tired of all your stuff by oliverlevay 2017-12-04T18:51:20Z

This is a really nice entry haha. Throwing stuff out is fun, and obviously the voices and story make it what it is. Good work :)

It's fun to jump through the entire level at once, good job :)

I like the simplicity and fun of it, though even on the first level it takes some getting used to to enjoy. Maybe start with something even easier, and lead into the harder stages more gradually. Either way, good entry I like it :)

This is a really good entry. It's polished, simple to understand, fun, and never frustrating. The only complaint I could think of is that jumping isn't as nice as it should be, but that'd be easily fixable in 10 minutes. Great work
