LD30 — Connected Worlds (17)

The Dream Smuggler by BeardaNeerz 2014-08-25T10:34:00

seems like an excuse to draw random stuff rather than a game

Fiscally Judicious by whilefun 2014-08-25T10:15:00

so the workers get sick at the same time and you can only repair one factory per turn?

Gravitas by elemel 2014-08-25T08:46:00

Spectral Sniper by Acuity 2014-08-25T07:27:00

Stock Exchange by ded 2014-08-25T06:25:00

pretty cool game, and yes i like the graphs.

although would be good if you could buy more than 1 at a time cuz my finger is tired

Fairy Rush by Rose 2014-08-25T06:12:00

refresh to restart...

besides that, pretty cool game with a cool game mechanic. although the game remember the moves to much so if you see multiple wolves you don't have to do the whole ><>< thing you only need one cycle

Her by GreenyUk 2014-08-25T05:51:00

the music is repetitive.

other than that its a cool game.

Space Train by SupSuper 2014-08-25T05:35:00

Planetbeam Z by Dzarg 2014-08-25T05:05:00

rubbish

Alternation by PowerSpark 2014-08-25T05:02:00

meh. feels like another portal-esque two mode let's get around game. but all you do is jump-switch-jump-switch and occasionally you flip a switch and have to go really fast.

A Space Trade Game by callumW 2014-08-25T04:48:00

first person view makes this game unplayable.

funny game. pretty cool mechanic that's easy to implement but still gets you to want to replay. cool music.

otherwise it's a bit like reading a children book.

99 LuftWaffels by quill18 2014-08-25T04:19:00

meh. game is ok i guess for 48 hours but it's not particularly fun. u just link up the places then sit and watch ur blimps float around.

a little bit like railroad tycoon but without the awesome autistic immersion of trains.

LD28 — You Only Get One (2)

Only One World by Calahagus 2013-12-18T06:26:00

1. i have no idea what any of the stats do
2. i did tech 10 turns in a row and got hit with -30% tech twice so what the fuck was the point?

Medieval Fantasy Island by aayars 2013-12-17T10:55:00

Pretty bad game. Terrible control. Why do I have to use 1 if there is only 1 spell you can use? How about space bar or left mouse button?

The game is linear, spells are all the same, combat is repetitive and boring. You say you want to 'wow' people for doing this in 72 hours but all the wow is in the graphics so basically in the engine and models which took more than 72 hours to make so any 'wow only 72 hours' is invalidated by that fact. Starting up a modern 3D engine, plopping down a buncha premade tree models then ramping up bloom, HDR and whatever newest and coolest effects to 11 do not make a good game, just trickeries that will impress the uninitiated.

I guess this exemplifies the all-surface-no-depth modern game making paradigm. All effort are put into ramping up the graphics and flash to lure in people. I guess if you have nothing to offer and want to impress people so they think highly of you this is how you would try to do it. Playing this game is like talking to a really hot but dumb girl. It got you really excited for 2 minutes and then you realised this is a terrible way to spend your time.
