Nice addicting game. Time was just flying by playing it :)
When boulders came down on both sides simultaneously it sometimes felt like there was no way to escape.

Nice addicting game. Time was just flying by playing it :)
When boulders came down on both sides simultaneously it sometimes felt like there was no way to escape.
Interesting take on Snake. I found the lava and water very hard to control, but it was fun to play.
Nice game. Graphics, sound and the little shake effects made it a very immersive experience. Also nice progression in gameplay.
Nice game. Great atmosphere and graphics. Also not a straight forward shooter but you have to think about how you're going to approach the next enemy
Nice ramp up in difficulty. Good music/sfx. Player physics felt a bit wonky. Felt like jumping around on the moon :). Very enjoyable
Long story line with multiple branching points. Nicely done. This must have taken you a while.
Nice idea. I wonder how many story combinations there are total. Would like to see this concept further developed.
Wow. Great game. Awesome graphics, nice controls, complete package. But god damn this was frustrating at times :)
Well done. Quirky in a good way, not what I originally expected.
Nice concept of controlling both characters simultaneously. Character gets sometimes stuck on walls. But overall well done
Nice gameplay twist. Endless eater should be its own genre. Love the music, especially the one on the menu screen with the splashing
Really nice soundtrack and graphics. Crazy difficult though. Couldn't make it past Level 3
Nice graphics and polished gameplay. Was a bit hard to figure out what to push so I just ended up pushing a mix of everything to the surface :)
Cute idea. Who am I to argue with Al Gore? Nice soundtrack as well.
Nice endless runner style game. Punishing difficulty. Especially the big iceberg is tough to avoid. One develops a love/hate relationship with this game kind of like with Flappy Bird.
Quite surreal but good for some laughs. I especially liked finding "The Key" :)
Nice gameplay and graphics. Took a while to figure out what's going on. Some sort of health indicator would be nice. Played quite a bit with my wife :)
Great concept. Really enjoyed the animations. Though the first levels seem trivial it gets really challenging later on.
I played the version under Linux and you have some issues with case-sensitive resource names. I had to rename Propane.png to propane.png and Death.mp3 to death.mp3 to get it working correctly. Be sure to check that more carefully next time.
Otherwise nice little game. Enjoyed playing it.
Nice innovative robot game. Really enjoyed playing it. Very complete and polished.
Interesting concept. Just seems very short. Played through in like 30 sec or is there supposed to be more things happening after parking in the zone.
Needed a while to figure out how to connect the cubes. After that it was still very hard though. Very tricky to foresee the impact of a move.
The pixelverse is a great idea. It's a pity that you ran out of time and had to rush the implementation of individual levels. Still enjoyed playing it.
Needed to fail once and see the tip with the red dots before actually figuring this out. Great game. Scrolling can get frustrating sometimes and the red dots are a bit tiny. But it's a nice innovative concept.
Nice innovative concept. Really enjoyed playing it. Screwed up the first time. Got to 3 friends the 2nd time but don't know how to progress further. Couldn't close the application properly either. I had to use the task manager to kill it.
Really enjoyed playing it. Controls, art style, animations and music all seem to be very polished and complete. Amazing work for a 48h game. I felt lost though and didn't really get the purpose of the game.
Solid entry for the first time. I was a bit disappointed of the gameplay after the lengthy intro. Maybe focus on gameplay and a complete experience (sounds, fx, etc.) more next time.
Nice, fun game. It feels very polished and finished. Really enjoyed playing it.
Managed to get it in the air and then floated through some screens with description but didn't really get what to do from there on.
Awesome platformer! Loved the artstyle and the combination of the recorded sound effects and background music. Really enjoyed playing through it. Great job.
Fun little point and click adventure. Creeped me a bit out from time to time but I enjoyed playing through it. GQ definitely needs some therapy...
Cool idea with the nose. Took me a while to figure out that I need to charge (should have read the damn instructions). The breathing background noise creeped me out after a while though :)
Cool little game. Loved the animation when the black cat gets hit. Could need some sort of score keeping.
I also feel quite dizzy now after defending kittens for a while. Too many rockets flying around in circles :)
I suck at platformers so it was way too hard for me. Gameplay feels very smooth and complete thanks to double jump and dash.
Loved the bass of the music got me really pumped up :). Controls are a little tricky. But overall real nice game.
Nice little platformer. Could use some more levels. I liked the retro graphics style of it.
Nice game concept! Really enjoyed playing it. Had to turn off the music after 1 min though as it was driving me crazy...
Nice game concept! Only made it to Level 5. Couldn'd make it to the labyrinth anymore. Controls could use some fine tuning but otherwise great game.
Nice little innovative platformer. The controls and collision detection are a little lacking but I really like the basic concept of the zombie collecting his body parts. The zombie sounds were also really cool
Agree with the previous reviewers. A little of that extra polish could make it a really addicting game.
Nice little point-to-point platformer. Controls are pretty hard to get used to.
Nice little runner game. But holy smoke the guy is fast! I was thinking of editing the JS to slow it down :)
Really polished nice game. Might need a tutorial but it's awesome otherwise. One of the best LD's for sure.
Nice little game. The line concept reminded me on Chalk Ball. The tilt controls and short lived lines can get pretty frustrating sometimes tough.
Nice complete RPG. Amazing that you pulled that off in 48h. Reminds me off the old Zelda's or FF's.
Love the art style and time travel idea. Couldn't figure out what to do after I recharged the drill and fixed the panel in the future.
Really nice platformer. Enjoyed playing. It's a bit hard, but that might just be because I suck at platformers :)
Takes a while to master the controls but is fun once you got it figured out. Once the first boss thingie shows up (screenshot 2) it pushes me off the screen regularly tough which gets pretty annoying
Like the little defense game. I feel like it needs analogue controls tough. The way it is setup it gets really tricky to aim at incoming guys from a distance.
Nice little puzzler. Sokoban with some nice little extra touches to it. I am impressed by the amount of levels for a 48h game.
Nice little defense game. Controls are a bit tricky. Really liked the background music.
Love the fast-paced pixel style. The rain makes it pretty tricky to see your shots in the beginning. Enjoyed playing it.
Really like the style of the monsters. Enjoyed playing it. Can get really tricky to coordinate moving and shooting but it's nicely balanced.
Fits the theme nicely, good idea. Controls are getting stuck a lot though. Nice audio and graphics.
I like the concept and some of the artwork. It's a pity that it's in a bit of an unfinished state.
Cool little shoot'em up. Like the upgrade system. Made it to wave 17. But those little UFO thingies are tough. Enjoyed playing it.
Very polished and nice UI and innovative game play. Very complex for a LD game. Really enjoyed it.
Good overall idea. After setting up some trades/wars though the game feels more like a computer model simulation than a game. I like though that you went with a strategy game. I think those are very hard to get done within such a short time.
Nice concept but there are some balancing issues. Things are moving so fast that it is pretty much impossible to deflect stuff.
Awesome little space shooter! Loved the background music.
Nice little game. Progresses a little slow and gets repetitive after a while. Maybe add some more game play mechanics.
Nice concept. Would love to see that expanded. It's hard to keep track of all the planets there should be some kind of global overview.
Nice concept for a puzzler. The red guys make it a bit frustrating though.
Fun little game. A proper HUD with health, etc. would be nice. Enjoyed playing it.
Awesome little puzzler. Really like the artwork.
Great game! Gets a bit repetitive after some time but the concept is awesome. I really enjoyed playing it.
Cool concept. Don't know why but the fast-paced style reminded me on Z. Great job!
Solid platformer with nice innovative game mechanics. Definitely needs some difficulty tweaking but otherwise awesome
Awwesome game with a great control scheme. Got me hooked from the beinning and I played through the complete game. Great job!
Nice little text adventure. Haven't played one of those in ages. Time to dig out zork again :)
Nice game. Graphically one of the best LDs I have seen so far. Looks very similar to the screenshot of Cliffrunner from your page at http://sidetrackgames.wordpress.com/games/
Great game with amazing level of polish!
Not sure if Emscripten is feasible for HTML5 game development though. >15k LOC seems pretty heavy for a game like this. Runs really slow on Chrome 18 on an i7.
Maybe Mozilla can fix those performance issues but I would bet on wide spread availability of Google's Native Client before that. NaCl at least seems to be lightyears ahead in performance
Nice complete shoot'em up. Sounds feel very coherent. Game runs smooth and and fast for me. Reminds me of the good old "Metal Slug" days :)
Gonna use Dr. Nano for some practice and then dig out some of those again.
Nice animation of the lady (love the subtle wrist movement when she pinches). Really hard to survive if you don't just pick the boat up in the beginning which seems to stop the red guys from disembarking.
Nice little space game. Love the Mass Effect parody (still can't get over the part 3 ending...). Really hard to control though. Would be cool if you could see in which direction your thruster fires at the moment.
Cool idea. A pity that you didn't get around to finish it. The animations of the little dudes are awesome.
Cool little platformer. Nice idea with the lighting scenario. Game seems a little laggy on Windows 7 64-bit even though I tested on an i7 and none of the cores are over 50% utilizations. Can't seem to get the BG music out of my head now either :)
Like the concept, especially some of the Tinyville Confidential news ("had an embarrassing spat about Star Wars vs. Star Trek" :D). It's a pity that you didn't get around to add winning condition or negative points for enemies next to each other.
Nice game. Reminds me of some old school games like Ultima.
Cool game play concept. I think this could be a great game on a smartphone if you rotate the world based on the device orientation. Reminds me a lot on www.andyetitmoves.net/
Cool concept. Really tough game tough. I tried at least 20 times and couldn't shoot the damn other guy once. I really like the hand-drawn graphical style of it too.
Took a few attempts but I finally got home with my brewskis after defeating the evil worm thingie :)
Real cool concept. Had a blast playing it.
Loved Phil's voice. Shazam! (btw. shazam is defined by urbandictionary as "Exclamatory phrase used when striking an unsuspecting victim in the genitalia with a foreign apparatus such as a back scratcher or a crow bar." :D)
As you can't seem to win it it would be cool if there was a score so you could at least battle for the highest one.
Really great concept and in a good shape for a 48h dev time. Would like to see a more expanded version of it. Real tough AI making it really challenging.
I liked it, very relaxing game and nice background music. The fact that you're not really knowing which direction you're exactly headed needs some getting used to but makes it more interesting and challenging in the long run.
I agree with Beanalby that the cell-thingies (baddie?) on the edge get frustrating. Would be cool if there could be some sort of indicator on the edge that a cell will spawn at a point soon.
Liked the relaxing background music and overall concept/game play. Movement of the planet is a bit too predictable.
Gets you hooked though. Especially after johnfn announced his high score and I desperately tried breaking it without success :)
I like the basic idea behind it and the innovative control scheme. Definitely tricky if you have a lack of hand-eye coordination like me :). Liked the background music a lot as well.
Unfortunately it feels a little unfinished right now (no score, end of game, etc.).
Took me a while to figure out how direction is determined by the position of the cloud. But it is great now that I got that down.
I really like the look and feel of the game. Looks very coherent and polished.
Really liked the idea. Would love to see an expanded version of that with more levels and sound.
It can be hard to keep orientation sometimes I think some sort of compass always pointing north or something would be great. Another cool feature would be to have a reset level key for guys like me who end up in the middle of nowhere routinely and have to wait til the oxygen runs out :)

do not go gently by nsadie 2020-05-01T01:53:45Z ♥ 1
Great little card game. Really polished. Especially the graphics look great and it fits the theme well. Not too many mechanics but this feels like it should be explored further after the jam
LYMPHOSITE by Saturnyoshi 2020-05-01T01:50:28Z ♥ 1
Nicely polished top down shooter. Very impressive entry. Music sets the mood really well. Controls feel nice. The recoil on that triple gun though is extreme :)
The Last Cactus by HomunculusGames 2020-05-01T01:42:34Z ♥ 1
Nice platformer. Graphics are amazing. Probably the best I've seen so far this LD. Very polished overall and the gameplay feels great
Keep Reputation Alive by Chief141 2020-05-01T01:38:16Z ♥ 1
Fun game. I was amazed how many levels there are. Reminds me a bit of Quell a mobile game that has similar controls. Very enjoyable.
Vestige by BitPokit 2020-04-27T23:18:51Z ♥ 1
Nice, complete platformer with an innovative twist. Really like the music too. Helps set the mood. Enjoyed playing it
Active Earth Rush by Odd1In 2020-04-27T23:13:18Z ♥ 0
Great music. Really catchy. It was a bit challenging to figure out where you need to go. I'm also not sure if the enemies can do anything to you or if you can just ignore them
Night in the Garden by nikchernyakov 2020-04-25T21:24:24Z ♥ 2
Great atmosphere. Music really helps set the mood too. Dear god that last gas can was tedious. You need to make a sequel where I can burn those damn plants down with a flamethrower.
Guardian Lich by svntax 2020-04-24T23:41:58Z ♥ 1
Fun little game. Very complete. Music, Sound, animations, the whole package. Killing the knights off takes quite a few hits. If there're no wizards to deflect spells off around it can be challenging getting through them without taking too much damage
Alien Intensive Care by Linky439 2020-04-24T23:33:16Z ♥ 1
Nice concept. Really feels stressful to juggle all this problems at once.
Potater Toss by BoxedMeatRevolution 2020-04-24T23:26:29Z ♥ 2
Hilarious concept. Loved the sounds the potato makes when it gets tossed in the air. Keeping the potato airborne was challenging enough. Getting condiments on top of it was impossible. Great job! This is the kind of stuff I love Ludum Dare for
Please Stay on the Line by kleinzach 2020-04-23T01:15:18Z ♥ 1
Great lighting and atmosphere. The way back from the west wing was rough. Juggling escaping and cell phone use was challenging. Enjoyed playing it
droidathon by acgaudette 2020-04-23T00:22:00Z ♥ 1
Nice idea. Gets quite hard real quick. The hammer, shoot mechanic feels really nice
Fish in Peril by GreenDinoGames 2020-04-23T00:19:07Z ♥ 1
Nice game. Really dig the adorable graphics. But this fish was just not meant to make it
Life Ablaze by Gerbo 2020-04-23T00:13:13Z ♥ 1
Wow. This one ramps up 0-100 in 10 sec :). I liked how you have to juggle keeping the circle going and killing enemies at the same time
The Given Path by Jvdwijk 2020-04-23T00:08:13Z ♥ 2
Lots of stuff packed into this game. What's happening in the card game was hard to follow but somehow I won. The sneaking was nice
BeamTron 5500 by Panagiotis Iatrou 2020-04-22T20:38:50Z ♥ 2
Nice typing game. Glad to know that earth defense is in the hands of a MS-DOS prompt
The Bob and the Rob by Yonman 2020-04-22T20:23:03Z ♥ 1
This is hilarious. Trying to run back to keep grandpa alive but struggling to fit through the door with the damn respirator in my hands. The sfx made me laugh as well.
Watchdog by ilijabc 2020-04-22T16:21:22Z ♥ 1
Wow. This was great. Really polished, fantastic atmosphere, challenging level design. Thoroughly enjoyed playing this. Reminds me a bit of Volume or Metal Gear Solid
Keep the Flame Alive by InsanityCode 2020-04-22T16:03:38Z ♥ 1
We clearly have different understandings of the word "easy" :). Really polished rythm game. Only managed to do ok on the guitar. Drums and keyboard were brutally difficult.
Stranded by notnullnotvoid 2020-04-22T15:58:26Z ♥ 1
Nice survival game. Has a bit of a Don't Starve vibe. Feels very polished as well. Great graphics and sfx set the mood nicely
SeaTurtle Safety Squad by PrimalShadow 2020-04-22T15:51:23Z ♥ 1
I have a real hatred for seagulls now. Took me a couple tries but I finally managed to keep at least one alive. Sound and some more visual hints would be nice but I really enjoyed playing this
RUSSIAN VIP by VIBROMATIC 2020-04-21T14:23:32Z ♥ 2
Cool Hotline Miami Style shooter. Dig the music. Controls can be tricky. Really enjoyed this one.
Restart Later by Theg 2020-04-21T14:19:33Z ♥ 1
Nicely done! I felt the existential dread of windows updates and dark UI patterns. Once you've figured out the 3 different lose conditions it becomes very easy to keep it going. Maybe more tasks or randomization would help mix it up
u died by arcayn 2020-04-21T14:11:26Z ♥ 1
"this is the end for you". nice little platformer/text adventure mixture. the platformer sections took me quite a few tries. very challenging.
i had to reverse engineer some portions. couldn't figure out how to go straight ahead into the "treasure room" or how i get to the state so i can attack the shadow. but it was easy enough to figure out in source code.
A Journey Home ! by The Game smith 2020-04-20T22:37:45Z ♥ 2
Nice little asteroids inspired shooter. Reload time is brutally long sometimes
Journey to the center of the body by Sanjana 2020-04-20T22:33:13Z ♥ 1
Nicely done. Feels like sometimes in a narrow area there's no way to avoid the enzymes. Really enjoyed the graphics of this one
Dear President, by Badosz 2020-04-20T22:30:00Z ♥ 2
Very nice audio and graphics. Really immersive. Timing on some of the events is really challenging
Dodger by Unevilicorn 2020-04-20T20:23:18Z ♥ 1
Nice gameplay. Gets incredibly difficult real quick. Only made it to 2300. The music is great too. Really addictive
Guardian of the Rite by sawtan 2020-04-20T20:19:16Z ♥ 4
Nice tower defense like game. The shotgun almost felt more satisfying than the machine gun after it. Needs an auto shotgun for best of both worlds :). Music and SFX are great too. Really set the mood
Its Alive! by automatonvx 2020-04-20T20:09:14Z ♥ 1
Fun platformer. Feels very complete. Level design is great introducing mechanics one by one. That last level took me quite a few tries.
Sukiyaki RUNNER Grisha by danek 2020-04-20T19:54:35Z ♥ 1
Nice little top down platformer/shooter. It gets brutally difficult real quick. Checkpoints would be nice
