Five Ancient Keys by Cody Hansen 2016-08-30T12:55:00
As others have mentioned...the puzzles were rather unclear. I ended up just hitting space on everything to get through some of them. I was also not sure what level I was on besides looking in the side rooms. Might have helped if the camera moved up or down as you took the stairs. The art and music was very good though. You really built me up to get into that treasure room.

Intuitive and well put together entry. I can tell the UI and controls have alot of polish in it. The game feels well put together overall. The feeling of being cramped and need of expansion was communicated well. Although I personally didn't really enjoy this game - levels, more items to craft, better graphics and sound could easily change that. Although I scored it low it's one of the few in the compo I can see being pursed into a full release. There's a big market for zachy games and this one has it's own twist on the genre.

Cool concept. I like how doing anything in the game takes up space, haha. This game is ridiculous and difficult but that adds to the fun of it. I can't say anything bad about it. Overall great execution on the concept.
Adware Attack by AdonisDevs 2018-08-18T21:29:26Z ♥ 1
This game felt like the worst nightmare as I played, haha. It's one of those terrible but funny games. I lasted 175 seconds first try. Great concept for this theme. I really get what you were trying to get across with the ads and voices bombarding you. The game itself plays well but I do have some things I could suggest for it.
1. Not sure about the icons covered up being the end game trigger was the best mechanic. I don't read the instructions when I play a compo game just to see how intuitive it is. This part I was struggling with but I did finally figure it out near the end. I would have used a RAM meter that once filled up from all the browser windows would end the game. You could tune that to roughly the amount of windows to fill the screen. This would have been a bit easier to understand and gauge how deep in the hole you are.
2. The windows themselves could have been better with borders, title bars and a close button. The windows in this game felt more like a slide show with a hard to see 2D wire frame close button. Just overall making the windows feel more like an application or browser window would have made a big difference.
3. Kill codes. I wasn't able to figure this out right away. The password.txt looked too much like another ad in the ad. Again, some sort of better defined window would have made this more intuitive.
Overall the concept is great with minimalist execution which may or may not have been what made this game funny and nightmarish as it is. Just better defined way of ending the game and window graphics would have gone a long way.

You should have added the humor category to vote on because I would have given it a 5 star. I couldn't stop giggling the entire time I played. It's a simple and fun concept. Overall I scored it pretty high.
Only negatives are
1. The lack of music. I think some sort of music or additional system sound effects would have supplemented the game atmosphere.
2. The white background. A background that emulated a desktop would have been an easy win.
3. Better overall computer atmosphere. A CRT filter and hard drive background sounds would have worked well for this and would be an easy win with Unity.
Proto Dash by huminaboz 2018-08-18T20:43:49Z ♥ 3
Really polished entry. Love the simple mechanics. The 2.5 graphics look great. Sound is simple and effective. The only frustration I had was with the movement itself. The game played great first few stages but as more enemies came up I felt swamped. I felt like it took a long time to wind up the dash so it was a bit frustrating. If the dashes could be done faster (potential power up / combo / upgrade?) that would be the ticket to get me hooked. Overall great concept and very nice job on this one.

graphics, animation, music and voice acting are top notch. The game itself is very difficult but satisfying when you can manage to keep those crabs at bay. Definitely one of the more polished titles for LD i've played so far. The only negative I can give that it's a bit repetitive and a bit frustrating.

It's pubg in outer space. Just wish the ai was a bit smarter. I could just stay still and turn in a circle and they would never hit me.

cool art style. the little guy running in the space ship is a cute touch.
Le Parking by karlipoppins 2018-08-13T04:06:12Z ♥ 1
The artwork and sound is top notch. Just difficult enough to keep me in panic mode all the time. Overall great game. The only issue I had was the character freezes when I try to restart the game.

Simple but effective design. Most I could get was 20. Took me a few tries to figure it out. You almost have to rely on muscle memory to get a good score since the game goes so fast.

haha this game is pretty funny. I got over 10m. Love the silly carnival game music. 2018-08-12 23_30_50-LD42-Running Out of space.png
SINGULARITY by Syrapt0r 2018-08-13T00:30:26Z ♥ 1
Found and reviewed this because you reviewed mine. Best one i've tried so far. This is a great little game. It has alot of gameplay. The minimalism works well for it. Everything was intuitive. The shop system is simple and works great. The only trouble I had was finding the wormhole to get out of the system but thats minor. Great job.

Web version worked for me and I was able to complete all the levels. Its a pretty simple maze runner type game. I don't really see where the running out of space theme is in the game but overall it's a playable game.
SpaceRun by Stoan 2018-08-12T23:49:17Z ♥ 0
A pretty basic shootemup without the shooting. I don't see much variety with the game. I like the artwork though. The music and sounds are okay. I didn't really get far in the game before I got bored.
Cure Your World by teo989 2018-08-12T23:30:47Z ♥ 1
The game is okay. It felt like a pretty standard runner game. The vehicle controls felt too rigid for me and took a while to get used to it. The Insane difficulty is basically unplayable because I couldn't even get to the first pill before I ran out of space. The music could have used some more variety. I would have liked a sound effect on pill pickup and maybe some engine sound.
