LD37 — One room

The File Approach by c4m 2016-12-28T08:45:00

Very cool idea! The gameplay is very interesting and most importantly the game feels finished, it's polished from all points of view and it's really enjoyable to play, I really can't find any flaw to criticize so it's certainly a 5/5!

Bite The Pain by hadesfury 2016-12-14T11:16:00

I'm a mass murderer, yay :D! On a more serious note, the game looks, sounds, feels and plays amazingly well. I felt that I was playing a finished game which is amazing work for 72 hours. You guys should add an upgrade system, polish it a little bit and you'd have a great game which many would buy, I would for sure!

Text Me Later by tomer_cool 2016-12-28T08:53:00

Whoa, I literally was shocked when i read that you're 13 yo! The pixel art looks great for a compo entry, audio is very original, and the gameplay, although simplistic, is very enjoyable. Keep up the great work, you got a very bright future ahead of you!

Spellbound by ijzm 2016-12-28T07:57:00

You guys made an enjoyable game! The graphics and the audio is impressive, the gameplay is quite fun, the puzzles are interesting and it kept me engaged until the very end of the game. The only thing that I had a problem with is the plot, so the library killed tens of people and turned them into haunting ghosts just because it needed company and the character just says: "Yeah, that's no big deal, I forgive you!", but hey this is a 72 hour game after all. Great job, keep it up guys!

Well of Youth by Skosnowich 2016-12-31T17:02:00

Great game, it's really fun and pretty challenging which makes it even more enjoyable! The graphics are nice and clean, the soundtrack is good, as are the sound FX. Would've liked to see more enemy types and some upgrades, but regardless of that I enjoyed the game, great entry!

Blackout by Strider 2016-12-22T18:49:00

Congrats on your first LD, and great game! I love how the game looks, that being said I think you know that it's sometimes hard to differentiate between walls and the floor, if you gave the floor a different color and texture it would help the players get around easier.
The lightning effect on the torch also looks great, a quick question here, if you don't collect torch fuel do you actually lose because everything is covered in darkness and you can't see anything? I waited a little bit and it didn't seem happen, but it would be cool.
The audio, although simplistic, creates a great retro feeling which fits the game.
The controls are easy to understand and are quite pleasant.
Sorry for the long post, it's just because I really liked your game and I think you have a lot of potential and you'll make some great games in the years to come, so good luck!

Hanabira no mairu by RomainJ&AnneCe 2016-12-22T18:13:00

Great atmosphere, the graphics and the audio stand out from the very start, and the game has solid gameplay as well.

the beuys are back in town by tylerdoggone 2016-12-16T08:11:00

Unique concept turned into a great game, everything is great, graphics are very interesting, music is fitting, mechanics are on point and the game itself has a very unique kinda strange vibe that I definitely like. Like many other I couldn't hug the coyote even after some 15-20 minutes, care to drop some tips?

Cranky Adventure by nick.bota 2016-12-14T11:51:00

@tomdeal Unfortunately there are more gamebreakers that I noticed after the game was submitted, sorry about that. And yeah the bar not going higher is because it's tied to the upgrade system which was never finished properly, sorry about that too. Thanks for playing though!

Cranky Adventure by nick.bota 2016-12-19T15:45:00

Thanks to everybody who played the game! Your praises have been really inspiring and your criticisms have been constructive, on point and really helpful.

Cranky Adventure by nick.bota 2016-12-20T17:29:00

JesseyCool, thanks man! Yeah, repetitive boring gameplay, some gamebreaking bugs, lack of animation and subpar audio, definitely gonna improve on that next year

Cranky Adventure by nick.bota 2017-01-03T00:29:00

Thanks to everybody who played the game, you have been truly inspirational. This was my first LD but it definitely won't be the last one, thanks to you guys and your amazing feedback!

The Labyrinth Room by savinvadim1312 2016-12-24T15:08:00

A fun top-down shooter! The gameplay is definitely the strong point of this game, graphics are pretty interesting for a compo game, the controls are great, as other people said the music can get on your nerves but it's no biggie. All the things considered the game is great, especially for a first entry, and it's fun to play which is the most important part, great job!

Claustrophobia by jperlin 2016-12-26T09:49:00

Very original idea! The creepy visuals, the strange sound effects paint a vivid picture that fits the mind of a person with mental problems. The game is HARD but i suppose it's a part of the experience and it's supposed to show how helpless this person is and how hard he struggles. In the end I loved the message of the game and it's vibe, keep it up!

DarkLight by Minato4th 2016-12-24T14:28:00

This has to be the most interesting game of this LD! The idea is kinda simple, you chase a light in the dark but the symbolism of this concept is so deep and vague that everybody can interpret in a different way, and I LOVE IT! You really nailed the experience, and every aspect of the game is reinforcing, the graphics are great, the music in on point, and the player is sometimes hard to control but this also helps your point. I'd say this is my favorite Compo game of this LD, especially considering it's your first entry, keep it up man!

Harmless Titan by oyoh 2016-12-26T10:29:00

Great entry! The game looks amazing, the sounds and the music fit well, and the idea of a misunderstood monster is very interesting. I think you know that the game can be improved to something much better and more complete if the gameplay was tweaked and something was added. Bottom line, I love this entry keep it up!

Guardian by NegInfinity 2016-12-14T19:02:00

Amazing game for a compo entry! A lot of people don't realize how much work you've done in 48 hours, the combat system feels good, the graphics are amazing, very fun to play overall!

Scary Monsters by candeeirostudio 2016-12-18T17:29:00

Pretty enjoyable game, nice graphics, good sound, and solid controls, is there a way to get new weapons though?

Begging and Gambling by Nino9612 2016-12-31T17:14:00

Interesting concept for a game and a great first entry! The art and the soundtrack are really well done! The only aspect where the game falls a bit short is gameplay. The begging minigame is fun, but you have to grind so much that it eventually become a headache to get to 200$ or more. Also when you get the money for gambling you can lose instantly without doing anything, this is where the game takes all the control away and it feels unfair, adding a card minigame would've made it perfect.

Bob & Bernard Against the Nazis by arcadehero 2016-12-14T11:09:00

Amazing art, fun mechanics, a good upgrade system. You've made a great game which definitely can be expanded into a full-fledged and i would play it for sure!

DEBOI-OPPAI by TBOI TEAM 2016-12-24T13:06:00

Good game! The art is great, the sound as well, hacking mini-game is pretty cool but I did hit some situations where I couldn't type the correct characters and failed because of it, I think it was "scan(x);". The controls are not very sharp think about tightening them up a bit. Great job overall!

OneLab by halbich 2016-12-24T13:57:00

Can you out of that room? The graphics look splendid, even stunning i'd say, the game controls well and the shooting seems to be done properly. Tell me if there's more to the game, I'd love to play it!

The Room Journey by boddiul 2016-12-14T13:39:00

Amazing graphics, greatly designed rooms and you will have some difficulties beating the game which is good because it makes it really enjoyable!

Nightmares by Yami no tenshi 2016-12-28T15:28:00

Poor girl, doomed to be devoured by nightmares ;'(
Congrats on your first entry though, your game is great! The art is really impressive for a compo entry, the music fits the vibe perfectly and reinforces it and the gameplay itself is quite fun. Amazing entry for your first compo!

Alone by Liam :D 2016-12-30T17:42:00

Interesting idea and concept, but the game doesn't really draw me in. It looks good, the sound conveys the feeling of loneliness and isolation which is awesome, but lack of action or some cutscenes or even some monologue kinda bores me instead of making me feel interested.
I'm sure if you had more time you could've shown how the player gradually descends into madness as a result of being placed in this "modern prison" which is really just a big solitary made to drive inmates insane.
Ultimately the idea is fantastic and i'd love to see you keep working on this in the future!

The Eternal Empire by oskardevelopment 2016-12-24T12:32:00

Intriguing game! Interesting take on the theme, the overall scenario is great, the writing is very engaging, and the music fits well with the atmosphere. A had a great experience watching my empire slowly descend into chaos and anarchy, you created the feeling of helplessness perfectly! One complaint that I had, it's that it gets boring after a while and the same options keep popping up, a little more variety will help the game a lot and will keep players engaged for longer.

Obelisk by Almax27 2016-12-27T09:19:00

Great game! The art is really impressive, everything looks very polished - the character, the enemies, the obelisk the rooms and the particle effects all look great. The gameplay is very fun, slashing enemies is satisfying and the hookshot ability is very well done! The soundtrack is awesome! One thing that I felt wasn't finished was the story, I really wanted to know more about the character, the obelisk and what's going on there.

STEREOJO by ChuiGum 2016-12-24T12:05:00

Amazing game, especially considering it's a Compo Entry! Love everything about it, the cool MeatBoy'esque gameplay with a interesting twist(the illusions), lovely pixel art, very fitting music, tight controls. A bit disappointed it didn't have an ending but it's perfectly understandable given the limited time you had. 5/5 game for sure!

Void Inc. by Erkberg 2016-12-20T17:12:00

Great game! The graphics are really cool, the audio is great the mechanics are solid the AI is good and the overall idea and the design of the game is awesome. Later on it get a bit too grind-heavy though, I played until the third or the fourth stage and getting rid of that giant demon head felt really annoying and I refused to go on after that. On a final note the is absolutely stunning for a compo entry, adjust the difficulty curve a bit and you have a real gem in your hands!

Glad You Came by Tonasz 2016-12-14T12:24:00

The idea behind the game is amazing, the art style is amazing as well. I love the idea of assigning people to different sectors, but typing the name of the sector makes it pretty tedious and you don't really see which sector is which if I were you I'd put an interactive map so players could click on the desired sector. Also there was no real weight to the mistakes you made, even if one of the colonists made something bad I was like "ehh, whatever". All of this being said I really hope you continue to work on this, to me it looks like a diamond in the rough!

The Library by Stending 2016-12-20T15:44:00

A work of art! The visuals and the audio are flawless, the controls are also greatly implemented and most importantly you created the feeling that I was the one playing that music, 5/5!

Roomies by NicMagnier 2016-12-24T15:23:00

Great game! It looks real clean and minimalist, the sounds also fit very well with the rest of the game, the needs system is very well implemented. You could add a day counter to see how many days I survived, and I also wish I had more control over what's happening in the game, a lot of time I just felt like a spectator instead of actively participating.

Riftong by leondryaso 2016-12-14T12:06:00

Amazing graphics and music, addictive gameplay = a very fun game! One thing that I noticed is that the game got easier and easier with every level I passed and at level 10 my health wouldn't go down at all even if I allowed every incoming enemy to hit it remained 100%

Xenopunch by Pietro Ferrantelli 2016-12-31T13:07:00

Tons of fun packed in one game! You guys really did an amazing job, the game controls very well which makes punching enemies very fluid and pleasant, the art looks amazing and the audio is on-point as well. I really have nothing negative to say about it, a well deserved 5/5 for a great game! BTW are you going to finish it? I would be very interested to play a full version.

KAROOM! by ViKing Games 2017-01-02T23:39:00

I had a great time playing it! Super fun, looks cute and the sound is awesome, great entry!

FUNRiDE! by SUNFURY 2016-12-24T12:45:00

Thanks for bringing me back to the time I used to play Crash Bash with my friends! The concept is great, it looks very well, the sound fits perfectly and the game is fun! I did have some problems with the controls though, they seem unresponsive at times and it kinda kills the vibe, everything else is great!

Extreme Bug Fixer by sroelandt 2016-12-28T15:17:00

Very enjoyable game! You took a cool idea and implemented it very well, it looks good, it plays even better, the controls are easy to learn and the player movement is very fluid. Some of the things that could use tweaking are the collisions with enemies, if you get surrounded by bugs bumping into one of them means sure death because they start playing pinball with you until you have no health left, adding invincibility frames would definitely help in this instance. Other than that it's a great game that I enjoyed playing!

Loft is in the air by Oddly Shaped Pixels 2016-12-19T16:03:00

This game deserves 5 start for sure! Impressive graphics, awesome soundtrack and sound FX, responsive controls and challenging levels all help make this a very enjoyable game!

The killer is in this room by t4u 2016-12-14T11:06:00

You literally killed this Ludum Dare, in a good way though! :D A great detective game with great jokes which fit the theme perfectly, minimalist graphics are really on point and obviously the story and the investigation system are great as well. I enjoyed it thoroughly, thank you!

Clue by Wumbo 2016-12-31T14:12:00

Very interesting idea for a game! You have done great work in 48H for sure, the concept is very intriguing and the gameplay is fun! The backstories of each character are witty and made me chuckle quite a bit, the art looks really funny as well.
Great job!

Lust for Gold by ISG 2016-12-20T16:30:00

Good game for your first LD! The concept is cool, the controls are pretty tight, I can get behind the graphic style as well. Now the audio is a little annoying you may want to tone that down a bit and also the game felt a little hard at times because I can't see what's below me or above me, that makes the game seem unfair and that's a fun-killer. Keep up the great work, you'll make great games in the future!

Amelia by Xinelu 2016-12-14T10:53:00

Good game! The theme and the music really sets it apart, the mechanics are very sharp and the graphics are really enjoyable, would've loved to see some more levels though.

Tenement Rush by rjhelms 2016-12-27T08:59:00

Never tell your relatives you have space for them to stay! :D This is a great compo entry, the game looks great, the sound is awesome, the controls are enjoyable once you get them, I have nothing really negative to say about the game everything is great and it feels finished. Definitely a 5/5!

ROOM by spacedoubt 2016-12-14T08:35:00

Absolutely loved it! Great concept, original visual style, a fun, trippy vibe and very fun mechanics. Played it a couple times and still couldn't get enough. Great job!

Shenzhen Manufacturing Co. by jsmars 2016-12-14T16:13:00

The concept sounds great and the screen look awesome as well but the game keeps crashing a couple seconds after I start.
https://s28.postimg.org/mb64w03od/crash.png

Shenzhen Manufacturing Co. by jsmars 2016-12-19T16:11:00

Wow, that's what I was thinking while playing! The game is super complex, very polished from all aspects and most importantly fun! Masterful work making all of this in just 48 hours, I take my hat off for you!

Dining Zoom by Docjekyll 2016-12-14T17:03:00

This game had me hooked for a period of time! Once the clients start coming i'm just getting in DO-mode and i'm all about getting as many orders as possible and that's great feeling! The graphics look perfect the music is just right, one thing though does the game have some increasing difficulty of some kind? I breezed through 7 days and didn't really feel that the difficulty was changing. Besides from it I had a blast with your game, thank you!

Track Talk by Indiestry 2016-12-27T08:46:00

Original concept, the game looks great and the soundtrack is awesome as well! Some things you might want to tweak are the constant zooming in and out, it made me feel dizzy I thing a fixed camera would've worked better in this situation. Another thing that could, as other people mentioned already, are healthbars and some feedback on damage dealt and received. Other than that the game is very interesting and fun!

4/4 Room by Remicy 2016-12-28T09:32:00

Amazing game for a compo entry! It feels so polished I would say it can easily hold it's own against many other finished rogue-like games on the market which totally blows my mind! 5/5 on all categories and i'll definitely follow your entries in the future!

Undead Arena III by LedgeTheDev 2016-12-20T16:00:00

You made a good game! It's fun, the controls are good, the graphics are pretty cool even if they are minimal. I would have liked to see some feedback when I hit the enemies, and it would be nice if headshots killed them faster. Overall it was fun and it looks solid, great game!

Tehos : Rebirth by Atmog 2016-12-22T18:06:00

Good game! It's fun to play, it looks good, the soundtrack is cool and the gameplay is quite addictive. I liked it!

The Cellar by Phil Strahl 2016-12-20T20:59:00

Amazing game! The idea, the story, the graphics, the audio and the mechanics all help create a terrific Lovecraft-ian experience, the ending was a bit anticlimactic but it's definitely understandable given the limited time you had. All things considered this is definitely one of my favorite compo games of this LD!

Happy Tower RTS by BoxedMeatRevolution 2016-12-14T10:45:00

Great game! You took a fun concept and made it great. First of all the AI is really amazing for a game made in 48 hours, secondly the unit design is good, and the increasing difficulty makes the game fun to replay, would've liked to see some feedback on how well I did like a score count, that would definitely add replayability.

The Cranks by DemiPixel 2016-12-14T08:11:00

Love the concept, graphics are very nice and the difficulty curve is just right. Overall a very fun game, great job!

Throne Room of the Merchant King by mike.cullingham 2016-12-27T08:37:00

Interesting entry! You don't see a lot of games focused solely on trading, and it would be nice to see the game polished and finished! That being said the game feels chaotic at the moment, the only indicator that a player has to see if a trade is good or bad is the quantity which is not really ideal. But don't mind my rambling, the game is awesome as a concept, and the fact that you've done everything by yourself makes it even greater, good job!

Raidboss by ring 2016-12-31T14:40:00

That's a helluva game here! The gameplay was very fun the playing as the big bad boss is definitely refreshing, the soundtrack and sound effects are also awesome and make the atmosphere even more epic (you should activate the sound rating I'd give you a 5 for sure). Visually the game looks very good for a 72 hour game.
Overall I liked the game very much, 5/5!

Open-Plan Office Distractions by Somnium 2016-12-26T10:52:00

I love tycoon/management games, that's why I was excited to check out this game! The idea and the concept is great, the game looks good but the lack of gameplay is a real bummer. A couple interaction options would go a long way, like "click on the employee to scold him when he gets distracted".

The Sorting Room by Kryptarchy 2016-12-14T11:41:00

It takes some time to understand what's going on, but if you do, you'll definitely like it. The concept is very original, the minimalist graphics look amazing and the controls are good. The only downfall I can see is that the theme doesn't really fit with One Room, everything else is great!

Stalactite Dodge by Ryuko13 2016-12-26T10:07:00

Great game! The pixel art on the character, the walls and the rocks looks great, would've been great to see the stalactites drawn in that style as well. You might want to make the player movements a bit sharper and quicker, the jump especially feel a bit floaty. Other than that the game is amazing for a first entry and I had fun playing it, thanks!

Oath by asyzruffz 2016-12-26T10:39:00

Wow! The game looks stunning, it sounds great, the controls are perfect, the movement, the jumping, the attack and the blocking are all very sharp. That being said it feels like the game could've been much more, a couple of platforms would've added some variety and I know it would feel great because you guys have great mechanics for platforming. Ultimately I'm ranting just because I like the game a lot and it could be great if you finish it!

Keep Working! by Riftpoint 2016-12-18T09:12:00

I'm glad I played this game! Unlike a lot of other games this one has a clear message and I love it, the graphics and imagination are really impressive, the mechanics are solid, I wish you guys added some music to the office part of the game, but I get it, you're trying to convey how soul sucking it can be to work for a video-game company that only cares about money. The game is a 5/5 for sure! One last thing is the meteor supposed to symbolize the tendency to make unoriginal games and to straight up rip-off other people's ideas, and the fish that help you fight it are other creative artists?

Karate Basketball by SeaDads 2016-12-21T15:38:00

Yes, the you can kick your opponents in the nuts best game ever!!!
On a more serious note, great work, graphics look great, it controls well and it's fun to play. If you added some new abilities and animations it would be pretty damn close to NBA Jam which is awesome, keep up the great work!

In One Fell Swoop by Patomkin 2016-12-30T18:03:00

This is the most fun experience I've ever had cleaning a room :D ! The game is great, it's fun and draws you in instantly, the graphics are cute, so are the dialogue sounds! The music sets the vibe perfectly which makes the experience even more fun! It deserves a 5/5 in all categories for sure, keep up the great work!

Elves with Shelves by Fantasieleben 2016-12-14T16:42:00

Great theme, nice graphics and most importantly fun to play with friends. It takes a while to understand how it works but after you do, you'll have fun!

Bat Cave by schizoid2k 2016-12-14T16:48:00

Pretty cool game, it's simple and fun to play. Maybe some bats should drop some bonuses, like new weapons? Oh yeah and could you tone down the sound of the effects a little as well, this would help.

20 Seconds to Die by Squid 2016-12-30T17:22:00

Very interesting concept! The game is very fun in it's current state and it looks very good for a LD game, it would be nice if you could pause the action and reconsider your decisions on the fly like in SuperHot! Also the fact that you have to restart the game every time makes it a bit frustrating in the beginning, other than that it's a great game and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

CatChaseZero by donvermo 2016-12-24T14:56:00

The cutest game of LD37 :D, it's funny, looks great, sounds great, has great mechanics and it's fun to play! Would like to see some more levels and new level patterns though.

The Singularity Room by lordrobotron 2016-12-12T02:06:00

Aliens have consumed the humanity :D. Love the art style and the concept, the game seems a bit too difficult though, i tried a couple times and couldn't get past the first level.

Santas Little Helper by sP0CkEr2 2016-12-18T17:09:00

Thank you for the nostalgia trip!

Poor Mister Bubble by Rebobt 2016-12-18T17:33:00

Definitely a great debut game, nice job!

BOSS ROOM by rogual 2016-12-14T08:56:00

Great game! Fun to play, pleasant vibe, and it has great flow, one stage is evolving into the other very fluidly.

Trump's First Day by jamioflan 2016-12-18T17:38:00

Interesting concept and a good execution, the game can get confusing sometimes though since there's no visual feedback for you actions, still great work for a 72-H game!

Don't Stop Me by breno 2016-12-24T12:40:00

Man this game is HARD! The idea of the game is very interesting, the graphics look great and the gameplay is quite fun! Would like to see some upgrades added and the difficulty should be scaled down a bit I think.

Dragon Defroster by aeveis 2016-12-27T08:09:00

Very enjoyable game! It felt finished from the moment i started which very few compo games manage to do! The controls are very interesting, the pixel art is adorable, and the music is cute a well. 5/5!

Dungeon Siege by Notaveerus 2016-12-14T11:24:00

Good concept which is fun to play, AI of the units is really well done, and the variety of units and abilities great. I'm sure you though about it already but a button which would reduce the timer to 0 would help the passing of the game a lot and would make it more enjoyable. On a final note, great game!

It Wasn't Me by Deltaohio 2016-12-28T09:05:00

Let me start by saying that the game looks gorgeous, the soundtrack is great(although it stopped playing I think you forgot to loop it in Unity), and the gameplay is very fun, the character controls well, the shooting is fluid and I didn't encounter any bugs all of this is awesome! What the feels like it's lacking are some sound FX, and a real goal because once you get through a couple of waves the fun dies down and I have no reason to play anymore. Other than that I really liked it and would definitely play it if you'll finish it!

LD38 — A Small World

Space Turtle by Sebastian Lague 2017-05-01T09:22:29Z

The game is awesome and the fact that you made it in 48 hours is pretty insane. The mechanics are fairly simple but it makes the gameplay very fun and addictive, graphics look great I loved the effects of the planet and asteroids blowing up, I know you said you struggled with the soundtrack but it came out very atmospheric and it really matches the action on the screen and the overall theme, hands down 5/5 game!

Star Traveller by SecondDimension 2017-05-03T10:57:42Z

Very atmospheric and relaxing game indeed! I enjoyed trying to understand what I was supposed to do and clicking on all the planets, visually the game looks great, the soundtrack is awesome as well, and the gameplay fits the feeling that you tried to create. Overall, after playing the game I feel exactly like the star traveler at the end of your game - ecstatic, 5/5 entry!

Amadeus by janiq 2017-05-01T11:17:16Z

I'd say that you don't have to get stuck on the theme if you don't like it, make something you will enjoy. As for Amadeus I really like the idea behind it, I think a child trying to find his parents is a theme everyone can relate to. The visuals look good which helps the game, but I wish the mechanics and gameplay would feel a bit more dynamic and challenging, because I was able to beat the game in just 1-2 minute and didn't really feel rewarded for doing it. Overall I like the game considering the struggle you've gone through with the theme, keep creating looking forward to new game from you!

@mrgussio that's odd, you should have gotten a character selection screen and a little intro story when you clicked the story button, what platform are you on?

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T09:35:29Z

@piscythe thanks a ton for the feedback, the web version is available link in the description

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T10:18:30Z

@zarkonnen Thank you for the feedback, that's a damn shame it seems to be working fine to everybody I sent it to, you could try out the downloadable version maybe.

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T10:33:01Z

@takusan very constructive advice, thank you!

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T15:43:46Z

@unidaystudio, yes the arena is an online mode where you can play against 4 random players online, if you gather your friends and you log on around the same time you can play against them, try it out it's a lot more fun then the story mode! Thanks a lot for playing and reviewing!

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T15:47:38Z

@kosmo thanks for putting in the time to write such an exhaustive review! The bug that happened in story mode made me laugh a lot))), we never seen that and had no idea it could happen. I hope you had a lot of fun, and we will definitely work on all the weak points you underlined!

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T15:50:50Z

@radmccool no it's not harsh, you're absolutely right we could've done a lot more in these 72 hours and made the game feel complete, in it's current state I admit that a lot of the game's aspects feel raw and unpolished. Thanks for the great review we'll learn from our mistakes and make an even better game for the next LD, and we're really glad you liked the cutscenes :D !

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T19:13:18Z

@khorm @rongo-matane Thanks for your support guys. Unity makes it a lot easier to implement a multiplayer than it used to be, but we still spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to do it(since it was our first time doing a multiplayer), in the end we were very happy that we learned a lot in 72 hours even if that meant not removing some bugs or polishing the gameplay.

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-03T21:07:30Z

@le-slo yeah we wanted to do some basic AI bots for the arena but sadly didn't manage, best option to enjoy the game right now is to find a friend and play at the same time with him. Thanks a lot for finding these bugs we didn't know about them! ;)

Food Fight by nick.bota 2017-05-08T10:55:24Z

@mrgussio you should have clicked on one of the characters, that's the character selection screen. We should have made it more clear, sorry.

Attack of the Planetary-Vampires by Rolle 2017-05-02T21:13:54Z

Great game! The gameplay is simple and fun, graphics look impressive and the audio really fits the vibe as well it's dark and gloomy. Would've loved to see some more variations of enemies like some that do zig-zags maybe, and an upgrade system to spend all that money. But I may be reaching 72 hours is a short time and you guys did a great job making this game, really enjoyed playing it!

Battle Ham' by BouDeSit 2017-05-09T09:20:47Z

Lovely game! You captured the theme quite well, I love the setting that you guys created, the graphics look very interesting even if they're not polished and the old-school soundtrack and sound effects fit really well and bring back some good memories. The gameplay is quite interesting but I think you should work on balancing it a bit, I was able to beat the game in less than 1 minute which left me confused like: "Is that it?!", presently I see no point in creating miners or spawning different types of soldiers you can win in a couple of seconds just by spamming 10 warriors(and probably only one of them would die). That being said I think this is easy to fix, just play around with the stats, overall you made a great game, holla at me when you balance it I want to play more at that point! Great job, keep it up!

Pineshore Planet by thomz12 2017-05-16T14:39:16Z

You should have called it Amazing Planet, because the game is really outstanding! Loved all the quests, I even managed to get stuck on one of them for a couple minutes :D, the mood is so positive and playful it really elevates the experience to a higher level, the models and their bouncy animation look very good, and the soundtrack is top notch! 5 stars for you sir, you deserve them!

Bunny On A Plane by ocarson 2017-05-16T13:51:02Z

Great idea, amazing execution! I just love the vibes that the game has and how positive it looks and sounds, the controls are very easy to pick up and the plane controls very fluidly which is great, the graphics look excellent for a game made in just 72 hours and the soundtrack and the subtitles are the cherry on top of this very delicious cake. The only thing that I felt could be changed is the camera angle, I'd like to see the camera be right behind the plane it would make it a bit easier to see into which object you're about to fly into, but that's just my two cent advice. Overall definitely a 5/5 entry, very fun!

Island Boom (but it's cats so it's okay) by adrian0901 2017-05-02T22:10:53Z

Loved the concept, even though the game looks simple you sure have put in a lot of time to make the movement and the weapons work properly, as a result the game plays really smooth! The only things that bug me are the graphics and the AI which is prone to killing himself unless you are standing right in front of him! Overall, great game, fun to play but would love to see it more polished in the future!

Wee Planet by radmccool 2017-05-03T10:28:45Z

Fun game! I love the idea of destroying UFO's and asteroids with lightning bolts, made me feel like Zeus :D. Visually it looks good, very fun to play, it got really intense by the end which was awesome. Would've loved to hear a soundtrack even a some one, that's really the only complaint that I have. Awesome job!

Operation: Small World by mikethewayne 2017-05-16T14:01:45Z

Amazing cutscenes, graphics and story! Love the amount of humor you managed to sneak into the game, I would say it's the funniest game I've played this LD. The gameplay was a bit disappointing to me tbh, but I realize that happened because of time constraints. Overall the game is amazing, enjoyed it a lot, thanks!

Shrinking Planet by Brackeys 2017-05-01T10:11:44Z

The graphics and the audio are really positive and colorful it creates a really positive vibe! The gameplay is quite challenging but in a good way I found myself trying to break my records again and again, would've loved to see a number showing me my record on the intro screen. Overall I loved it 5/5!

RoboLand by slovakyan 2017-05-09T10:28:34Z

Amazing compo game! It's fun to play, the graphics are super clean and beautiful, sound effects are on point and the difficulty curve is designed very well so I never got the feeling that the game is too easy or too hard. This may be the best compo I've played in this LD, 5/5!

Violent Goat by Pixelcode 2017-05-04T14:50:50Z

Amazing first entry! You made a very fun platformer in just 48 hours and it was in 3D as well which is an insane amount of work, great player and enemy model, the platforms, walls and environment props also look great. It's really easy to control the player, the movement and jumping feels smooth and that's a great achievement, the problem with being stuck to the wall is no biggie it can be solved by just changing the material on the collider in Unity so I don't even consider that a problem. I also like the humor and the idea of the game, the music felt a little off but that's just me nitpicking. Overall the best compo I've played so far, would love to see you participate in the future and make great games! PS.: oh yeah and put some screenshots in the description and a cover image you could attract a lot more attention that way!

ZEUS VS MOLES by Fouralex 2017-05-03T10:14:15Z

Love everything: the aesthetics, the gameplay, the sound, and the idea (it's really relevant to the theme which a lot of time goes unnoticed). The only thing that could be improved is the camera, as other said it spins sometimes but that's a minor complaint. Overall the best compo game I've played this LD, 5/5!

The Space Explorer by UnidayStudio 2017-05-16T14:13:29Z

Bow down to the space explorer! Amazing game, I was actually immensely surprised by how good the game looks - the 3D assets look amazing, the sounds is completely on point and made the game even more pleasant to play, the controls are fluid easy to understand, you could say that the combat is not perfect but it doesn't bother me at all, only adds to the charm. The story is amazing, you even made cutscenes! Overall I have nothing bad to say about this game this is the first game that I gave 5/5 all across the board, you guys are amazing!

Qwer CiTy by Le Slo 2017-05-02T21:24:12Z

Looks great, nice audio, great concept, the controls were a bit frustrating in the beginning though, once you get over that I really liked what you guys created!

Asteroid Hopper by yyam 2017-05-16T15:01:00Z

Man this game is hard! But definitely in a good way, most games made for LD you can beat in 2-3 minutes max, this one took about 1 hour, props to you for designing such great puzzles! The visuals are very nice, soundtrack is very spacey and calming, which I like a lot! Overall this game is awesome, and more importantly I think you could easily expand it into a full release and be successful with it, would love to see that!

Membrum by Rongo Matane 2017-05-02T22:35:19Z

Amazing concept! I lived until 135 years so I could say I did ok, but in all seriousness I love the idea behind and you implemented it very well which makes it very fun to play especially the first time when you have no idea what you are doing. The graphics and audio are good, I would absolutely love to see this game polished and extended into a full fledged game, overall I'll definitely say this is a 5/5 entry!

Slightly Angry Max by Takusan 2017-05-02T21:33:57Z

Amazing first entry. I was utterly impressed by every aspect of the game, looks great sounds awesome and is very fun to play while being very challenging which I know is very hard to accomplish. The only thing that frustrated me is that I couldn't shoot through the crates but hey that's just me. Overall a very well deserved 5/5 entry!

Space Raiders by Smeax 2017-05-03T09:48:35Z

Mind-blowingly awesome! Love the way the game looks, sounds, feels and plays. The fact that's great about it is that I think it would be really easy to scale it and make a full game with more modes an upgrade system and a story behind it but that's for the future, right now the game is definite 5/5 in my book, great work, keep it up!
