Changelings' Lair by Haighstrom 2016-04-19T20:20:00

This is a very nice game. However I feel like there isn't that much to do here. Most of the time im just waiting for more mana and gold to build up. I also didn't really have a clue what all the rooms did until i read the description.
The placement of the rooms didn't seem to matter that much.
Maybe the enemies should prioritize your workers so you should place your mines as far away from the enemy spawn and the bear idol. Maybe the player could even design the layout of the dungeon rather than placing rooms in pre-determined locations.
Now what i liked about this game.
I loved watching all the creatures wander about inside the fortress.
I think the economic side of this game has some potential. It was fun to get miners and see the gold go up faster and faster. There is also an interesting risk in having too many miners as you can't have as much fighters and libaries to generate mana.
I find the graphics in this game in general to be really charming. They remind me of dos games in the early 90's.

Overall this is a good game with a lot of ambition. I would be interested to see you develop this further. I'd also like to thank you for your comment on my game. I found it very informative and it motivated me to keep working on it and gave me some idea how to improve it.

Hungry Vampire by dvdking 2016-04-20T17:49:00

Excellent game. The puzzles are hard but satisfying and i love the music when you complete a level.

Getting shifty by Ithildin 2016-04-19T16:20:00

This game is great.

Booba Loomba by josemwarrior 2016-04-19T15:25:00

Great game! It was fun and left me craving for more. some sound effects would have been nice, but i guess no sound is better than terrible sound. I would love to see this be polished and expanded upon.

Triangle Head's Adventure by Gord10 2016-04-22T18:00:00

So basically nothing you do matters in this game the outcome is always the same? Wow just like real life

RPS (no graphics) by Javabot 2016-04-19T19:17:00

It was fun figuring out how the level can be beaten with the different abilities. very nice. However i think you could have gotten more out of this mechanic by not limiting what forms can be used on some of the levels. I felt like i was being punished for attempting to solve the levels by thinking outside the box. I would have hoped there also being levels requiring all three forms to be used to beat them. Most of these levels only need you to switch once. The control scheme is a bit confusing too. I still had fun with this game tough. I suppose i just wanted there to be more harder levels.

Space Catacombs by The Walking Kiwi 2016-04-19T15:13:00

Cool game. I like the sound effects, but some of the projectiles can be a bit hard to see.

Pinata Mania by funisfun8 2016-04-19T18:28:00

I think you forgot to include the data folder

Space Shifter by superjai 2016-04-20T08:00:00

Pretty good. I liked the graphics. This was maybe a bit too easy tough. There wasn't the player had to do other than move around and hold down all the firing buttons. Maybe there should have been more harder enemies.

The Alchemist Oblivion by nlbi21 2016-04-19T18:56:00

I like the midi music

Stellar Pendulum by dwhiffing 2016-04-20T18:25:00

This is an awesome game! It was really smart of you to show the player where are the next balls going to be. It adds an element of planning to your game.

Phase Shift by Allthebees 2016-04-19T15:59:00

Excellent work! 5/5! The atmosphere in this game was great and it was very satisfying to see myself become better each level i played.

Freeform by Faulkin 2016-04-22T18:14:00

Wow this looks really good and i would love to play it but there is one thing that absolutely ruins it for me. The clouds. They cover absolutely everything at times. But whenever i wasn't completely blinded by clouds i really enjoyed the game.

Subject 621 by DuckTieTeam 2016-04-19T17:33:00

Hey I think there is a major bug in this game. I am not able to exit the initial room and the explosive always just drops on the ground in front of me even if i adjust the angle and power. It also seems that it is not possible to change the size of the gun projectiles. Or maybe i have just misunderstood the instructions.Either way i think you should at least check if there is anything. I was running the windows version.

CactaiGotchi by Tym17 2016-04-19T14:53:00

There should be more feedback on clicking the buttons (sounds, lightning up when hovering over the buttons etc.). At first i didn't realize i was even doing anything until the cactus was almost dead. The cactus itself is kinda cute tough.

Fun Land Of Destiny... Or Something by jaredbruhn 2016-04-19T18:41:00

I rate M for Masterpiece.

Everyday Item Man by GrowthRateOmega 2016-04-19T15:41:00

It took me a bit to really get it because of the confusing tutorial but overall even tough i don't usually enjoy stealth games, I liked it. Perhaps there should be a limited number of times a single item can be used as a disguise because i ended up just picking a toilet from the starting room and disguising myself as that every time.

Winding Woods by tybantarnusa 2017-08-04T19:13:13Z

Nice! Very nice atmoshpere though not much of a challenge since there's charging stations everywhere.

Tiny Explorer by rijnswand 2017-08-04T20:44:57Z

I actually really enjoyed this game. Yeah it's a lot slower than most people would like but there's a nice challenge in choosing the safest route to make sure you don't end up in a hole in middle of nowhere. I completed the game with just a tiny bit of power left and it felt awesome. For what it is it's a really cool game.

Inferno by Megalink 2017-08-06T17:13:54Z

Wow this is amazing! Awesome music and gameplay!

Spaceship Escape by kakarotsan 2017-08-04T19:49:31Z

Hey shame you couldn't complete this in time this looks pretty cool. Hopefully you now know to manage your scope better in the future. Good luck! :)

Legendary Space Space Space by Rahtainka 2017-08-06T15:48:04Z

Very well polished game. The difficulty jumps quite a lot on the second base and the hitboxes on the asteroids a bit too big so they were a bit annoying to navigate through. I like the music and sound effects.

The Road To Power by tinykidtoo 2017-08-03T15:18:29Z

Wow this is super fun. Unfortunately i got killed because i banned anime and put all the weebs in the gulag

LAMBDA-DASH by Flatgub 2017-08-03T22:41:28Z

Wow this is one of my favourites so far! I love the pixel art. The control scheme is very unique and interesting. The game was a bit too hard for a beginner though.

Robo Power by jahndis 2017-08-06T14:56:09Z

Very good. I liked the visuals.

Tycoon by dob 2017-08-06T16:32:44Z

All I can say is: HEY!! YA!!

Pea Soup!!! by petitpois 2017-08-04T22:14:29Z

Hey pretty nice! The game is pretty monotonous without any upgrades and it took me a while to figure out how exactly refill worked, but the music was LIT AF!!!!!! so nothing else matters :^)

Solar Miner by mrboxbox 2017-08-03T09:48:06Z

@zee Hey thanks! Yeah procedurally generated terrain would have been a bit too much in 72 hours. Though that's definetly something I'm going to look into if i ever develop a sequel :D Yes the player starting with the rocket launcher is a bug thanks for the heads up.

Solar Miner by mrboxbox 2017-08-03T23:49:54Z

@johnwfs Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was a bit worried that the music would get pretty repetetive, especially since it doesn't loop all that well. I was thinking of making the song quite a bit longer and releasing it in an update. I'm probably going to do that in the next few days. Also do you even get any notification when someone tags you in a comment like this?

Solar Miner by mrboxbox 2017-08-07T14:21:06Z

@Satanos Thanks! Yeah false positives are pretty common with games downloaded from the internet. Especially if they come straight in exe files. I want to see the video when it comes out. Could you please post it here or maybe just give a link to your channel :)

Solar Miner by mrboxbox 2017-08-15T18:03:09Z

@Satanos Thank you! Nice video. I uploaded the ingame music into soundcloud. If you want to download it click the "more" button and the download button should be in the drop-down list :)

The Hunt for Red October Box by hadesfury 2017-08-03T21:23:18Z

Very nice. i liked the atmosphere. I had to stop playing after 5 minutes though because i couldn't stand the sounds of power being low and ship getting hit. I'm sorry :(

Electric Energy Tycoon by Jesús González 2017-08-06T13:09:41Z

Very good game. I would have liked some way to speed up time since the beginnings are pretty slow. The sound design is simplistic but very functional and doesn't get annoying.

Power Planner by Micito 2017-08-03T20:54:59Z

Simple but fun. Good job!

You're Winding Me Up Harvey by nanolotl 2017-08-06T16:53:02Z

Wow this is great one of my favourites this jam so far. The puzzles were cool. Challenging but not too hard. It's a bit weird that the launchpad was introduced in it's own level but never used again, but other than that this was really really good. It left me wanting more.

Blood In The Stars by Nek 2017-08-03T11:14:36Z

Pretty good entry. The mood is quite unique, which is pretty cool. You managed to make the horrifying rollerskating dummies pretty easy to see even though everything is red. The sword could have been a bit more juicier but the bomb was pretty fun to blast those blockheads with!

Cranked 1911 by zee 2017-08-02T17:18:52Z

Good job! A very fun game!

Leonardo Montes' DUNKIRK by Repusv 2017-08-02T18:57:41Z

Wow what a great entry! Gathering allies and blasting down the enemies was super fun. It was a bit hard to know what was going on around you though. A way to look around would have been nice.

Flying Aces - Going the distance! by jotson 2017-08-03T23:22:14Z

Very solid entry! The premise is simple but executed well. There isn't really much to complain about except maybe the lack of music, but that's kinda nitpicking

Crazy Tesla Taxi by AViTT 2017-08-06T16:17:23Z

The car is very fun to drive. I love drifting around like I was in initial D or something. It would have been cool if charging your car costed money. That would have tied the gameplay mechanics together very nicely. Now money doesn't really have any purpose. I like how you put loops and ramps around the place :D

Action Jackson by bitdecay 2017-08-04T19:41:15Z

I love it it's like a mix between the binding of isaac and the original doom :^)

Pogo Stick Granny by good.enough 2017-08-03T11:29:37Z

Very solid entry. It was super fun to just jump around hopping on cars and roofs, even though there wasn't any real purpose or challenge to it. You can just hop across downtown collecting batteries and you won't run out of power. Still fun though. The music was also pretty nice.

Power Tank by sirikan 2017-08-04T21:59:42Z

Not bad. I found the level design a bit bland. Would have been cool if there was walls and buildings to obstruct sight and bullets. Now you just shoot halfway across the map. Some of the sounds were pretty nice.

Night Watch by IndieAlchemist 2017-08-04T22:07:12Z

Not a bad game. The game is a bit easy and repetetive though like the others said. Also I find the pickup sound pretty irritating I think lowering the pitch and putting a fadeout on it would have done wonders. The pixel art is suberb though.

Robot Kernel PaniK by Le Slo 2017-08-06T17:07:16Z

Wow amazing attention to detail with the ui! I actually feel like I'm in a bunker in middle of nowhere controlling a bunch of robots. I didn't really know what I was doing and died all the time. The game looks cool though.

I'm Not Your President by wisstopher 2017-08-03T23:08:18Z

Very nice. I loved the little Botraham Lincoln charachter (dont know if that is his name but that's what im going to call him). I somehow got this very old school feeling from this game I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the fixed camera angle?

Battery Booster by Garett Cooper 2017-08-03T22:47:26Z

Not too bad. It was a nice challenge to balance between gathering energy and having the optimal driveline.

Electro Swing by Sauski 2017-08-02T11:58:42Z

I like the sort of retrowave mood this game has. The biggest problem I believe is the lack of feedback to the player. The enemies getting hit and dying have no animations or special effects other than disappearing on death. Some visual effects would have made the game a lot more satisfying to play.

From the Shadows by MaybeLaterx 2017-08-06T15:15:06Z

Great entry! Was a bit hard to understand at first but it got a lot easier after reading the instructions. Cool idea for an asymmetric strategy game though it's a bit biased in the shadow's favor i think :D

Range anxiety by StubbyRogue46 2017-08-06T17:39:01Z

Umm... am I the only one who can't run this game above 5 frames per second?

Harvest And Extract by Kthulhu1947 2017-08-04T20:09:31Z

Not bad. It's relaxing to drive around looking for oil. The sounds get old pretty fast though and repeatedly pressing the arrow keys to move gets pretty tiring on the fingers. It would be nice if you could just hold an arrow key and you would go in that direction.

Professional Protesters by MartinTristan 2017-08-06T16:10:26Z

Not much of a clicker game fan but this was alright. I think it the graphics looked pretty ok and had a certain charm to it. But why is the music SO GODDAMN LOUD JESUS CHRIST MY EARS!!!!!!!!!

Lights Out by Emery 2017-08-04T19:21:16Z

Pretty good for a first timer. The camera felt a bit awkward because the player character was at the bottom and you couldn't see what is below you. I liked all the little easter eggs you could see through the windows.

Light out by Harrelix 2017-08-01T13:47:57Z

This is pretty good for someone who has just started out. Even though the game has some rough edges, it has that charm that only beginner level games have :)

This Is Not A Drill! by llamaq 2017-08-06T15:22:45Z

Not bad. The slider system is interesting. Oddly reminds me of the taxation mechanic in older civilization games. The sounds were a bit hard on the ears though.

Run Ning out of Power, Montana by jekstrom 2017-08-06T17:26:48Z

Lmao nice pun. The game was pretty fun for the while it lasted. It was fairly fun to try out the different powerups (the laser was my favourite). I think the gun sound was kinda weak but other than that (and the graphics as you said) it was alright.

Power of the glorious nation by Maxi100ful 2017-08-02T16:32:33Z

Congratulations on your first ludumdare! I really like the concept of this game and think this could be something i would really enjoy and that's alot for someone's first LD game.

However the game has some big problems for me at the moment. The game is very slow and doesn't have much to do once you manage to connect all power inputs to a power plant. I see that you have attempted to remedy this with random events, but I mostly get an event that makes an area unhappier which isn't a problem if you have set everything up since there's more power sources than inputs. I also got an event that added a power input to the eastern border town. I think if there would have been more events like this, the game would have been pretty fun. I also got the oil embargo event alot which i think is supposed to remove your power sources but i think it might be bugged since it appears to do nothing but I might be wrong and I just didn't notice anything.

In short, I think this game has some potential, however at the moment there are far too few events that make you re-arrange the power lines. However I love the theme and mood of the game. It reminds me a lot of papers please.

B1NMAN_ROFP by davideperozzi 2017-08-04T20:13:56Z

Very good for someone's first ludumdare game. Blasting enemies is pretty juicy.

Rats will kiss the gunner's daughter by Mr.Houdini 2017-08-01T13:01:09Z

Very good! I really like the overall mood of distrust and deception in this game.

Trump Card by SideSplitter 2017-08-21T18:28:18Z

Awesome! The random events give the game a lot of replay-ability

Supermarket Slap by nerdyHerbivore 2017-08-02T19:14:38Z

Very good game! My favourite part was when you smacked Caillou's head :^) My least favourite part was when my Chocobros kept falling off my shopping cart :^(

SpaceReturn by Larx 2017-08-03T23:44:24Z

Very nice! It's fun to get to customize your own spaceship. Is there an end goal in this game or do you just keep going until you lose everything? Nevertheless a very enjoyable game even though i kept getting absolutely rekt. :D

Torch Boy by FloBar 2017-08-02T11:12:23Z

Neat game. The pixel art was well made and overall the game had a nice look to it. However i would have added more levels with a low enemy spawn rate at first and having it increase with every level. If you do this i think you would have a great little game. This is very good work for someone's first jam game. I would love to see you work on this a bit more and release it.

Running Power by 2Demigods 2017-08-03T20:05:43Z

Takes a little to get the hang of, but when you understand how everything works it's super easy. This was a nice little brain teaser!

Energy Dash by Shell Pirate 2017-08-06T15:59:37Z

very well made game! There is not much to complain here. Maybe the jumping sound is a bit too sharp but other than that I can't come up with any complaints. The pixel art especially is amazing!

PowerBall by Mejlvang Games 2017-08-01T08:45:45Z

I liked the music though the camera angle was a bit awkward and it was hard to figure out what you had to do at first, but overall it's an alright game.

Leaf Runner by David Greene 2017-08-03T23:33:43Z

Pretty good game. A bit hard to get into since you don't really know what to do at first and the car handling is something to get used to, but it's not too bad once you learn.

Falling Down by helpcomputer 2017-08-03T21:08:59Z

A very cool simple little sim. I like the old-school pc look you got going on!

High Rise by AMastryukov 2017-08-04T22:26:20Z

Not bad! A fun simple clicker game. It was a good idea to bind the "clicking" on the space bar instead of the mouse, so your fingers don't get tired as fast. More upgrades would have been nice maybe but i think you nailed the presentation.

Tankatron 3000 by Tim Ruswick 2017-08-04T21:23:25Z

Not bad Tim. Not bad at all. It was fun watching you make this on stream. Anyways this is a pretty fun game. Blasting enemies feels fairly juicy, but the difficulty seems to increase pretty slowly. I played to stage six and barely lost any health. Also it's a shame you couldn't implement the audio. But the game is pretty fun to play nevertheless. :D
