A really nice game! The idea, as well as the gameplay itself, is fun. The one bit of criticism I have is that considering the gameplay does not change during the walkthrough, the game could be a little shorter. Overall, hat off!
Dang, that was a legitimately fun game! A Small concept in a way, but executed pretty good. Great first submission!
The game creates a fun sense of people roaming around in an airport. The platforming part was fun and unexpected for me, also as a fellow CoD player I tip my hat for that easter egg)
This game is criminally underrated! Holy...I had no idea I wanted Factorio with nothing but cactuses, but now I do!...and it works, belts, collectors, turrets. Even the details that are usually not as good in ld games such as sounds and music are very well placed!
Hi there! Usually, when reviewing the ld game it's easier to avoid bad things in search of good things to say, but here, with what you were going for, the game is good. The idea, level design, sounds, background it's all genuinely good!) The only question I have is not a criticism, but rather thinking out loud, usually in platformers you go from left to right(I wasn't even really thinking about it before), but here it is not always the case. Was it a conscious decision or it just happened that way?) Anyway, good game, hope you won't lose interest in game dev)
Hey there! Gotta say that the level design in your game was really good, in my opinion. It cleverly incorporated the lack of controls in the beginning and even later on was pretty neat. The idea was used well, not sure why was I able to kill the static spikes, but it sure helped)
Very cute and funny little game! Great job)
I have no idea what I just played, but it was quite fun!
That was actually interesting game. Very visually appealing, sounds are awesome. Gameplay is very interesting and simple to understand at the same time, love it! I honestly have no negative things to say about this game. Grat job, guys!
I love the idea with the window, the game has a good sense of humor, good controls, however, I could totally jump over that rock in the beginning, I know it!
The game is gorgeous! It's probably one of the most beautiful games of ld38. I had a problem with the gameplay, in my opinion, it was a little too complicated, but overall the game is great!
A very cute idea for the game! However, the game lack hints so the player could properly understand the inner working of pumps, filters etc.
A Very interesting twist for a fighting/artillery game. Mushrooms look great, but the sound can be a little improved. Great job overall!)
The idea behind the game is awesome! Using audio feedback no navigate players is a great but very difficult trick to pull off. I guess that is ultimately my biggest problems with the game. It has an awesome idea, which seemed too difficult for the devs this time.
Interesting idea for an entry! For my taste the sound was way too loud, I had difficulties to hit big asteroids(hitboxes might be too small) and the rockets seemed too big compared to the size of Earth) Fun entry anyway!
Truly an awesome experience! The game looks great, plays great, a very strong entry. Great job, guys)
Awesome idea! I only wish I had more divine tools to show these tiny creatures my true greatness!
It's amazing how many things you decided to make in such a small game. I very much enjoyed every ingredient of your game, but it takes time to make it work altogether. Still, it's a great start for something cool)
Love the concept, but hate the spiders in general) Controls are confusing but entertaining. The game has a very high production quality, good visuals, good sound design and disgusting spiders(not in your game only, just in general, hate them) Excellent game, creepy spiders, must play!
The visual style is pretty interesting and the idea for the game is funny) Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems with the size of dino hitbox and for some reason when I kill every single living creature I lose!)
Pretty cool game, guys! I like that the despite having lots of enemies your game shows all necessary information to the player: the health of the monsters, crystals health and when you are stunned. Sounds simple, but so many games are lacking this very important feature, so it's great that your game has it. I can suggest adding new weapons(would be cool) and adding notifications about which crystal was attacked(would be informative)
I hate those motherfockin' red ants! All red ants must DIEE!!... Excuse me...I lost my train of thought. I enjoyed your game very much, as a strategy fun it always great to see new strategy games, despite the death of the genre. Maybe adding the waypoint for each of yours ants make the game better as well as better AI)
I love how the game controls in the sense that the character flows very smoothly so it's a very pleasant game tp play. It's great that the core mechanic of the game feels very naturals so you get used to it very quickly and without problems. The character model looks very cute. I wish there would be any audio because honestly, I very much enjoyed playing the game and the lack of audio was probably the biggest problem for me personally. Also, the situations where you have to land a jump between the 'roof' and the platform is very difficult to land, but it was a small obstacle for me. Keep up the good work and thank you for the game!
I love TBS games so I enjoyed your game very much, however adding some sort tutorial and visual feedback would be nice)
The idea is nice, but when I was playing the game I wasn't sure what I was doing. The hints helped me to finish it, but I can't say that all steps of the way were clear to me. Still it's a nice platform for a good puzzle game)
The game is hysterically funny, it has lovely visuals and fitting audio. The hamsters look genuinely cute! The only advice I can think of giving is to maybe make the suicide prevention sometimes a little more complicated)
Awesome idea for the game! I love the way you made the firstperson feel real. Stealth mechanics is simple but honest and easy to understand and I love it!
Cool idea for the game, funny approach to gameplay, satisfying audio, the menu is well done! Adding different playable characters, different attack animations and maybe fire would be great, but, honestly, the game is pretty damn awesome right now)
The game has a truly interesting idea behind it and a quite funny approach for the characters. I honestly believe that if you choose to explore that game concept further you will make a very nice game)
The genuinely funny idea for the game! I like that despite the genre you have an actual small but charming story) Speaking of things that can potentially improve the game, I think that adding powerups or different weapons would be fun, sometimes hit detection is a little off, but overall I'm happy that I've found your game)
I very much enjoyed the music and sounds in the game. Visually birds look cute, it's cool that you have different weapons in the game. On the other side, I had difficulties differentiate where was the background and fell through the level sometimes(hey, it might have been my fault, but if you could make the difference between background and foreground more visible I would greatly appreciate that))

Bullet planet by TC5550 2020-10-16T08:07:59Z ♥ 1
Hey, that was a really nice small game! True, it needs polish, but it's clearly a workable prototype from which you can potentially grow the game into something bigger considering you did it all alone!
Round-a-bout: Get Me Outta Here! Edition by trmrddr 2020-10-14T07:21:49Z ♥ 2
Dang! That title screen/tutorial is really good!
Stuck on Loop by Britt Henderson 2020-10-14T07:14:59Z ♥ 2
Woooooooooooooooooooooow! Hands down, these are the best sounds this ld! The visuals are very cute and polished. Making a game look like a kid drawing is harder to do than some might think. Everything has to be simplistic, but not too much. Cute, but not overly detailed and you hit it just in the right spot. The three main components of the game are awesome! The only critical thing I can say... I mean it's not really a criticism, more of a suggestion. Please next time focus just a bit more on a ld thumbnail, because browsing through many, many games makes you sometimes judge the game by its cover or rather you look at a cover and think: "Do I want to check out this game?" and your cover could be a bit more appealing as well as a general game page on ldjam. I'm only saying it because seriously, for me, this is one of the best games this ld and I almost missed it. Anyway, thank you so much for such an amazing entry and sorry for a long comment :)
Orbitality by CruelMotivator 2020-10-12T03:50:50Z ♥ 1
Really clever idea for a game! There is a space for polishing, but overall a very fun little game! :)
LoopIn by Dani Tufeld 2020-10-12T03:44:24Z ♥ 3
The character design is super cute! The game design very well-rounded! I like how each level fits into the screen, every time you know where to go, the structure is the same, but the layout is always different. The idea to add a pink sphere to deviate player movements from going only straight to the center to make him go somewhere else first is a fun and easy to digest deviation. Overall a very polished and pleasant experience)
Break The Loop by paulhocker 2020-10-12T03:35:38Z ♥ 1
Really nice game. The visuals and the UI are gorgeous!
Crypt of Capitalism by Lychee 2020-10-12T03:14:08Z ♥ 1
So how many gooblets do I owe you for playing this game?)
DooooG by Marco Marchitelli 2020-10-12T02:15:37Z ♥ 4
This game is so cute I can't even put it into words! Maybe I can describe it through barks? Bark! Baaark? Bark! Nope, doesn't work either( The game is amazing in its concept, the visuals are super cute, the UI, which many devs overlook is really good(maybe you could show the number of the level I was playing because sometimes I was so caught up in the cuteness of the doog so I forgot what level exactly was I playing, but I just have goldfish memory, other people might not have had the same thing) The only possibly critical?...No..Suggestive?...Advisory bark I have is that the game initially comes off as a very cute and relaxing experience and then–Boom! You have like a Shining maze, where you really need to count your turns and all. Overall the game was a very special experience! Thank you so much! :)
Astrolo-fi by Blix 2020-10-12T00:55:43Z ♥ 2
Feels like I got high from just playing the game) It is oh so satisfying to play such a calm and chill game at LD when there so many games with confusing or difficult controls! Overall, it has been a very pleasant experience :)
A.C.E. by awerar 2020-10-08T07:03:17Z ♥ 1
The game has an amazing character design! Actually, all in-game assets are really cool, but the robot hand down is super cute! There are some small rocks in tutorial/controls section, but these are minor issues. Overall, awesome entry!
Hack'n Loop by Darenn 2020-10-08T06:41:17Z ♥ 3
That's it! I'm calling the cops! The LD is no place for a game with such sleek visuals! The gameplay is pretty good too, but to be honest, I was mostly gazing at the visuals here
Knights of the Round Torus by madjackmcmad 2020-10-08T06:33:13Z ♥ 1
Sometimes I wonder why do Wizards in fantasy settings don't have a PTSD problem considering how many people they can obliterate just like that... On the other hand, they probably can heal their mental wounds...I guess. Anyway, launching meteors is always fun! The old-timey vibe goes very well hand to hand with the gameplay and UI you designed.
The Ribbon by Fax 2020-10-08T06:11:46Z ♥ 1
Wow, thanks for the very thought-through UI in this. It was very helpful. The visual style is pretty sleek, but let me just crack open a cold one for these sound effects ;) Really good entry overall
One Frog's No Good Very Bad Automobile Malfunction by weeping-rupee 2020-10-08T05:41:29Z ♥ 2
I mean.. I can definitely relate to this frog, but I can't build cars..that would be sweet! Anyway, at first, I could hear how the cogs in my brain turn when I tried to wrap my head around this gameplay, but once you get, the game is actually pretty cool. Not as cool as a frog making its own car, but still cool
Ribbon by 100th_Coin 2020-10-08T05:27:56Z ♥ 4
Oh.My.God. I mean people, who participate in compo are by nature stand a bit higher than other humans, but this game even by compo standards is really something! Yes, there is a place for confusion in this game, but the intersection between art and technology here is just insane. The game even has a place for some humor! However, no multiplayer. No battle royale mode. Very disappointing! ;)
I've Been Busy Being Dead by instrex 2020-10-08T04:16:15Z ♥ 2
Holy Molly! DoctorHummer, your art style makes me speechless! From my experience, most of the beautiful ld jam games are boring to play, but not this one! My only criticism is that the game is too scary!
Looper - The Last Mission by Coding4rtist 2020-10-08T03:14:37Z ♥ 2
A cool game, but on the easier side. I myself got around 2000 point, but didn't submit the score because..I..had.. no internet connection! *Phew!* So that's how Joseph Gordon-Levitt looks in pixel art XD
Space Cowboy by a4x8e6 2020-10-08T03:01:48Z ♥ 1
Finally an accurate Space Cowboy simulator game! I myself have a ranch of blubberbobs and let me tell you something – it gets pretty boring out there! I mean from time to time you have to deal with passing herds of grogsnippers, but other than that it's a pretty calm life. Well now, thanks to you, I've got something to play in my spare time)
Toucan's Revenge by AfroAnt 2020-10-08T02:49:46Z ♥ 3
The music for this game is breathtaking and very fitting for your game! Great job, Geist!) The game itself is too easy, lol ;)
The Lone Starmen by cyberfrank 2020-10-08T02:12:43Z ♥ 1
This game is breathtakingly beautiful! As pretty much everyone else I would love to see a fullscreen mode)
Loopster by Spitzy 2020-10-08T01:49:14Z ♥ 1
Using this type of geometry(reminds me of Penrose stairs) for level design is a very bold move! Considering the game was made in less than 24 hours is i-n-s-a-n-e! Really cool game, would love to see as a full game one day)
My Summer Roller Coaster by Patsui 2020-10-08T01:30:28Z ♥ 1
The angle you picked, when the player has to get out and fix the rollercoaster is very clever! The first two tools worked really well for me, but for some reason, I could not extinguish(tried to aim from different angles and reload the fire extinguisher as well) Overall the game is so much fun. The way you use pauses in gameplay to just ride a rollercoaster in between repairs is amazing!
The Looppy by AleksandarDev 2020-10-08T00:58:25Z ♥ 4
Why did you opt out audio?! It's super cute!)
Clockstop Jane by inanimatecarbonrod 2020-10-08T00:50:02Z ♥ 2
The UI in this game is really something! The gameplay has a lot to offer, but requires a certain level of concentration and planning to complete the level which is pretty unique Very nice game overall!
Doodle-Oop! by Hank Ather 2020-10-08T00:42:49Z ♥ 2
The game looks amazing! Not LD jam level amazing, but like a proper small game amazing! The gameplay is good, takes some time to get used to loop controls, but other than that it's pretty fun to play. The sounds for star pickups would be nice, but considering the time frame it's totally fine. Very nice entry overall, good job!
Merry-Go-Madness and The Claw Of Survival by LetterAfterZ 2020-10-07T23:53:11Z ♥ 1
This. This is why I come to play LD games! Strange, unique, but fun experience. By the way, not to brag or anything, but I managed to earn like a 1 000 000$ without losing once (*desperately trying to hide tears from constant losses*) Very fun game, but a bit too easy ;)
Takinfin by BEK 2020-10-07T23:30:58Z ♥ 2
Woah! That was actually a pretty good game for your first jam, wow! The game is small, but fun and feels completed (without the sound I mean). Many people try to create something huge and end up falling short, but you evaluated your time and energy correctly, what is, honestly, a very good thing for this kind of jams. In terms of brutally honest feedback. I'd say, that the main tank animation seems strange somehow. I don't know, the enemy's animation does not seem to have the same problem. Also, when shooting in movement, bullets seem to spawn a little behind your new position. Other than that, I honestly can't find a whole lot of things to criticize here. Great first jam overall and hope to see you in the next Ludum Dare jams!)
AUTOLOOP by Kpedatte 2020-10-07T23:12:29Z ♥ 2
The way the sounds of your actions sort of blend in the music theme is awesome. The level structure is also so damn cool! The difference between obstacles took some time to get used to, I thought for sure that I could fit under the... cyberpunk fence thing, but you have to jump over it. However, after 10 seconds, you easily get used to it. Very special game overall!
Train Troubles by MashUpGames 2020-10-07T19:21:16Z ♥ 1
The game looks super cute! The transition between levels is awesome, the way you integrated tutorial and hints in the game is both informative and fitting the theme. With all this cuteness I still managed to get stuck in one of the levels, but I just genuinely bad at puzzle games. Really cool overall, great job!
Unknown Factory by ShootingStaa 2020-10-07T15:25:27Z ♥ 1
I really dig this infinite gameplay idea! Kinda reminds me of a Snake game, but on a different plane of creativity. There are quite a lot of LD games which tried to make too much and ended up falling short, but Your game looks very well rounded
