QuickDraw TCG by CMLSC 2018-04-24T03:53:53Z

Very cool game! I really like the combination here and how it was implemented. The art is very stylistic too, and the game feels surprisingly polished.

Just a couple remarks, but I did find z for cancel and x for select a bit confusing, as I expected the order to be vice versa. Obviously not sure about other people. Maybe I'm just used to the Pico-8 controls after playing several of them for this jam.

I also for some reason found the ground spikes a bit hard to see, especially the animation that happens right before the spikes show up. It took me a couple of times getting hit until I finally got used to them.

Anyway, those are very much nitpicks. Overall a fantastic game! Great stuff!

Self Golf by SecondDimension 2018-04-23T22:47:00Z

Wow, a fantastic game! Loving the concept, and the polish is astounding.

Just a small thing, but sometimes I found I made extraneous shots because I couldn't see a bit further to the left or right. Have you thought of adding camera movement to allow the player to see the level a bit better?

Great job!

Croak by Jackson Frankland 2018-04-23T05:53:54Z

Hey nice game!

Just wanted to say there seems to be a bug where sometimes after dying your frog will continue to move in a certain direction. Once the bug happens it keeps on happening even after the next death until you restart the game.

Anyway keep up the good work!

Mortal Keybat by dob 2018-04-23T21:59:20Z

Haha, very fun mashup of ideas. Nicely implemented too.

I do think the intro sequence was a bit long, though very charming.

Anyway, keep up the great work!

Clidger by Mathiouza 2018-04-23T16:25:12Z

Really like the idea!

I do think the combination of the screen being a bit too small and the speed of the bullets being too fast makes the game feel a bit unfair at times, but that's really a minor point. Also someone else already mentioned this, but the tutorial did get annoying after the first time since you have to wait for a couple of seconds every time you restart.

Overall though a cool idea and a fun game!

CCG Shoot 'em Up by Moczan 2018-04-23T02:30:05Z

I really like this game. The art is simple but very nice and stylistic, and the game mechanic is pretty fun and new.

Minor point, but I did find staying either completely on the left or right felt a bit too safe, since the ships that shoot don't really go to the very edges of the map.

Anyway, good work on a fun and nice looking game.

Poker-Man : Arcade + Poker by lavwa 2018-04-23T03:56:58Z

Haha this game is great. Very novel concept.

The physics caught me off guard a bit, since I expected it to be grid-based, but that's just me being stupid.

Haka the Robber by Herman Chau 2018-04-23T06:19:27Z

Nice! I did find the text a bit hard to read, and I never figured out what crouch actually did, but otherwise very solid game.

Nice work!

Cartenstein by Iluvatar 2018-04-24T18:47:39Z

Haha a lovely little gem.

Really enjoyed hunting for cards, though I unfortunately couldn't find all of them.

Great stuff!

Netcrawler by impbox 2018-04-23T03:01:01Z

I really like this game!

I'm a sucker for internet-themed games, and I'm also a fan of deck-building games, so this game was right up my alley. It took me a while to get the rules, but once I did it was pretty smooth sailing, though I'm pretty bad at this game it seems.

I did find you could sometimes not get a road with a sentry in your opening hand, which is rather unfortunate when it happens. Maybe you could have a mulligan, at least for the opening hand?

Overall a very nice game!

Garden Symphony by cowa 2018-04-23T20:08:37Z

Haha this game is great! A very novel idea!

Minor point, but I do think it'd be easier if you could select items using the number keys instead of using tab. Obviously it's a nitpick and overall I really like this game!

Great work!

Greenspawn Restaurant by Apple Dash 2018-04-23T03:37:03Z

Ha ha this game is awesome. Funny theme, fun gameplay, and nice art to boot.

I did find a minor bug though where if you hold the plate then press D, your plate would pick up all the vegetables it goes through. Not sure if intentional though cause it was pretty hilarious.

Anyway nice work!

Tumblenaut by kelbg 2018-04-23T02:13:05Z

This game was pretty fun, and the graphics are pretty charming. Challenging too. Almost got to the end but lost oxygen at the last stretch :(

I do think the game would be better if the camera was zoomed out a bit more though. Right now it feels like if you're going max speed you can't really react to anything coming your way, which makes the game feel a bit random at times.

Nice work overall!

BREAK // HELL by Incredible Ape 2018-04-24T16:00:35Z

Man, this game is fantastic. Ridiculously polished feeling.

A minor point, but I do think having some form of invincibility frames for a duration would make this game a tad less punishing. Right now sometimes you feel punished for one mistake when you get hit by a billion shots at the same time. It does keep the game short though so maybe it's more of a preference thing.

Anyway super great job!

BREAK // HELL by Incredible Ape 2018-04-24T16:21:05Z

@incredible-ape Haha really? My bad then. Really didn't notice it.

Space Maths by mikedirl 2018-04-23T07:46:11Z

I love the idea, and the game is pretty fun.

Minor point, but I found the speedup after a while becoming a bit too fast which made it really hard to read the numbers. Also I found some of my bullets wouldn't collide with the red gates at faster speeds.

Good work!

Felocity by Adam Wallberg 2018-04-23T02:21:24Z

Nice game! The art and music are very charming. It took me a while to get that you're supposed to pick up guns to shoot, but once that's cleared up it was quite fun.

A minor point, but I do think the hit box for the cat is rather large, making dodging extremely difficult, but hey maybe that's just me being bad.

Anyway, thumbs up for a fun game!

mechROMANCER : a top down shooter dating sim about relationships by Useless 2018-04-23T19:06:35Z

Cool game, really liking the concept!

It's a minor point, but I do think having some sort of sound effect or graphical effect for when you get hit or when enemies get hit would make the presentation a lot clearer.

Regardless, congrats on a first LD game well done!

Sword And Plow by frankiesmileshow 2018-04-24T05:18:52Z

Wow, I am amazed by how good this game is! Very unique gameplay and fantastic art and music.

A rather minor point, but I did find it a bit annoying to have to drag items into my inventory, especially stuff like money, instead of just right-clicking. I also found that I found way too many treasure chests and not enough monsters, which kind of diminished the point of getting items since I wasn't using it against monsters often enough.

Very minor stuff though. All in all this game is fantastic!

Jumpcard by pestodesign 2018-04-24T15:46:11Z

This game is great! Really nice graphics and audio, and I'm a sucker for anything that has to do with cards.

A minor point, but it took me a while to figure out that you're supposed to click on your frog to jump. If you just added in your description how to jump, I think it'd go a long way.

Also I found it took me some time to get used to the jump mechanic. I think it would have been easier if there was an arrow or something drawn that indicated your jump direction and strength.

Anyway those are nitpick stuff. Overall a fantastic game! Great job guys!

Dragoon Drop by jhandsy 2018-04-24T15:32:51Z

Wow this game is fantastic! Really nicely polished.

Probably one of the best combinations of action and TCG I've seen for this LD. The jumping on top of enemy mechanic really brings this game together.

Congrats on a job well done!

Dragoon Drop by jhandsy 2018-04-24T17:58:06Z

@jhandsy There's one game that comes to mind right now that was pretty fun. Here's the [link](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/quickdraw-tcg) to the LD page. It's unfortunately not getting a lot of love though...

Clicky Cards by Connor McGrory 2018-04-23T18:22:20Z

Wow, this game is great! The art is real charming too.

I'm a real sucker for card-games, and the RTS part kind of works like an engine-builder, which is also my jam.

I do think the initial ramp up takes a bit longer than it should, but I can imagine trying to balance early game to late game income generation is a balancing nightmare, so completely understandable.

Awesome work!

Red and Black Wordly by ludum1118 2018-04-23T04:28:55Z

I really like the idea of this game.

I did find having to deal with two player's at once very difficult though. Maybe displaying the number of red and black tokens of both players would make the game easier to play.

Also I felt the +30 seconds made it possible to cheese the game a bit since you can continually use that option and never have to answer a word.

Regardless overall a very interesting and unique game. Awesome work!

Townsman (City-Builder/Action-Adventure) by Efmi_ 2018-04-23T15:38:14Z

This idea is really interesting, and I think there's a lot of potential in this game.

Obviously it's a jam so it's understandable, but with more types of buildings, enemies, and a bit more polish, I can see this game becoming something really fun and intriguing.

Good work coming up with a very cool idea!

Roundabout: ~ Roguelike & Rythm ~ Trading Bard Game by Gustavo Manchae 2018-04-25T04:42:12Z

Nice game! The gameplay was rather fun and interesting.

A minor point, but I did wish the rhythm part was a bit more prominent. It's really just personal preference though.

Anyway, thumbs up on a game well done.

Super Antithesis Kart by Lameosine 2018-04-24T17:48:56Z

Haha what a funny game! The surprise ending is pure genius.

Great stuff!

The Place by KRP 2018-04-23T02:47:57Z

This game is really awesome. The art is great, and the ambience by the music is great.

The flashlight (probably not but I'm not sure what to call it) mechanic is pretty interesting too, though I found I got a bit motion sick after playing it for a while.

All in all a very good game! Thumbs up for a work well done!

Shuffle Knight by Lun8 2018-04-25T02:28:30Z

Wow a very awesome concept, and nice graphics and music to boot.

Some minor things, but the character hit box felt a bit too big, and made some of the platforming around the spikes a bit more frustrating than I think it should have been.

Also the lack of any form of penalty for hitting the spikes made the spikes that more annoying, since it meant they essentially only wasted time, and generally I most enjoyed the puzzle nature of this game compared to the pixel accurate platforming stuff.

Anyway those are obviously nitpicks. Overall this game is fantastic! Great stuff!

Perplexive Perspective by quixatocs 2018-04-23T17:58:45Z

Haha great concept and game!

I'm really liking the time skip mechanic and using it to tell platform location and height.

Thumbs up for a job well done!

Card Royale by Ruoyu 2018-04-23T19:30:12Z

Great game! Really liking the concept.

Minor point, but right now it feels extremely difficult to dodge bullets. I do think it'd be easier if either the bullet speed was slower, or there were key bindings to the cards in your hand.

Awesome work!

Blocks'N'Blaster by HPMNK 2018-04-25T02:53:39Z

Really loving the idea, and the graphics and audio are pretty great too! The gameplay is also fantastic. Didn't think platformer and Tetris could gel so well like this.

One minor thing, but I found that you could pull the block towards you by facing away from the block and shooting. Was this intended? I found this made the game a lot easier, and kind of just made me stay on one side of the screen.

Also for some reason S didn't seem to let me fall down platforms. No idea why. Maybe it's just me.

Anyway great game overall. Great work!

Karaoke Ninja by GastricSparrow 2018-04-23T08:10:22Z

Wow, a really neat concept, and I'm loving the art too.

I found the mapping from note to platform a bit hard to connect at times, but maybe it's just because I have to hum quietly due to it being late over here.

Anyway a fantastic idea, and a nice, fun game to boot!

Danger of the violent woods by Kultisti 2018-04-23T21:16:22Z

Man I'll be honest with you, I skipped this game last night cause it looked rather scary. And I was right!

Great atmosphere with the music and art!

The Fish and the Furious by Relsqui 2018-04-24T03:34:58Z

Haha this game is adorable! And rather challenging too. Had a lot of fun with this one.

Super Slime Slasher Ultra by sebastianscaini 2018-04-25T01:30:00Z

Very cute game. The graphics and audio are very top notch.

The gameplay's simple but surprisingly enjoyable for what it is.

I did find a small bug though, and at one point I got stuck on the bottom right corner of the level, and wasn't sure why. I did get out eventually though so it really wasn't a biggy.

Anyway great work!

Spur of the Moment Racing by gemberkoekje 2018-04-23T08:00:25Z

This game is really fun! A very neat concept.

Just a minor point, but I found the checkpoints a bit too big and felt they obstructed the course a bit too much, especially some of the green at some of the curves. I also wish you could control the steering, gas, and brakes with keys instead of the mouse, just to make the game loop a bit faster. Just nitpicks really.

Great work!

Shady Tactics by lpriebe 2018-04-23T05:37:36Z

Nice, this game is awesome.

Really loving the concept and implementation. The art is really nice too.

The AI cheating is a nice thematic touch too.

All around good stuff.

Memory Warfare by dirtymoonz 2018-04-23T06:48:16Z

Haha this game is great.

I'm a sucker for "doing multiple things at once" games.

Putt-Kill by JezPez 2018-04-24T02:56:14Z

Haha this game is great! Really funny concept, but they seem to mix really well.

Great work!

Turbo Viking by benskca 2018-04-23T17:03:37Z

Haha this game is great.

I did find the car speed a bit too fast, and the timer duration a bit too short though. Right now it feels like trying to dodge obstacles is too much of a time loss to even try to care about them.

Overall though, awesome concept and nicely done!

Pinball Gardener by KianaMosser 2018-04-25T02:37:05Z

Very nice art and music, and I really like the idea of the game. Feels like there's a lot of potential in making the machine more elaborate, and adding more content as well for a more fuller game.

One minor thing though, but I thought the ball was a bit too fast, and unfortunately felt too random at times when the ball was blazing around. If the general speed of the ball was slower I think I would have enjoyed this game that much more.

Anyway that's just polish stuff. In general great work on a fun little game!

Trivia Monsters by r0bc4ry 2018-04-23T03:28:36Z

I'm terrible at trivia games, but this was a rather interesting idea.

A minor point, but I found it confusing figuring out which monster was yours compared to theirs. I also found Professor Mahogany really difficult to beat, since the monster feels like it's dealing 50 damage most of the time.

Anyway, minor polish stuff, but the overall concept feels cool.

Tiny Crusader by nilstastic 2018-04-23T19:56:53Z

Wow what a fantastic idea and game! Really polished feeling too.

I found the game speed to be a bit on the high side though, which made reacting to death drops when a new level first starts rather difficult and somewhat random feeling. I feel if the game was slowed down a bit more, with a speed-up button applied so the game doesn't slog down, it'd feel a bit more fair. Obviously just a random thought, and the chaotic nature with the current speed is already pretty fun as it is.

Regardless, awesome work!

MiniGame Racing by Deprecat 2018-04-24T23:51:03Z

Nice and simple, I really like it!

The wall highlighting was a really cool idea too.

A minor point, but I did find that sometimes I could ignore doing the distractions completely if the distraction placement wasn't annoying enough. Not sure if that was intentional though, but if it wasn't, maybe you could tie in the distractions to winning the level so people have to deal with the distractions? Anyway just a random thought.

Cool stuff!

Bumper Buddies by JavaSaurus 2018-04-23T15:48:17Z

Hey, nice game!

Fun combination of two ideas, and I'm always a sucker for pinball games.

Minor point, but I thought the camera was a bit too zoomed into the screen, which made it hard to imagine the overall structure of the pinball machine.

Anyway, thumbs up on a job well done!

PROTECT by Maloy Quinn 2018-04-25T01:37:53Z

Very cute game! The art is rather charming.

I do think the jump was a bit too much though. If you could adjust your jump height based on how long your pressing the jump button, it'd go a long way to make the game feel tighter.

It also looked like the screen was a bit too zoomed in on the itch.io page? Not sure if that's intentional though.

Anyway good stuff!

Bullets of Insight by notgreat 2018-04-23T05:47:03Z

Nice!

Very interesting idea, and fun too, though it's hard as nails. Maybe I'm just bad...

Wish you could turn off the replay prompt after dying, but hey that's a really minor point.

Awesome work!

Rapid Bullet-Hell Blitz Chess by Ismael Rodriguez 2018-04-23T07:00:33Z

Haha this game is super fun! Love the score stuff at the end too.

Just a minor point, but I did find the green enemies confusing, since green normally means to me that it's a good thing.

Overall great game!

Deep space - cards battle by Serious07 2018-04-23T02:04:51Z

Nice game. I do think it'd be better if the controls to your ship was a bit more tighter though. Right now it feels like I either move too slow or too fast.

Overcharged by Cryovr 2018-04-23T06:40:43Z

Really nice looking game, and the sudden shift in gameplay when you get overcharge is really cool too.

I did find the movement a bit awkward at first, but it isn't too hard to get used to after a while.

Anyway awesome work!

Tempo Quest by Pixel-boy 2018-04-25T02:12:06Z

Very cool and polished looking game! Really loving all the aspects of this game, including graphics, music, and gameplay.

One minor point, but I did find the whole world honestly a bit too big. It felt like I was just wandering about most of the time, and since it's honestly easier to just dodge enemies then to try to fight them, I kind of stopped playing the rhythm part of the game which is the best part.

I was also initially a bit shocked and confused by the boss transitions in the dungeons because they happened so sudden. Some form of indication would have been nice.

Anyway that's all minor polish stuff. All in all this game is very well polished. Great stuff!

Hidden Profits by Hello1423 2018-04-23T07:21:35Z

This game is fantastic! A really cool concept.

Minor polish stuff, but I found the light cones of the enemies a bit hard to tell apart from my own light source at times. Not really a big issue though.

Also for me at least, I found no issues with the frame rate.

Anyway thumbs up for a job well done!

Cat Pack by Potondo 2018-04-23T02:38:17Z

@jason-kennedy That's a really good point. I did design it trying to make the controls a bit of a nuisance, but 3 clicks to shoot/move does feel a bit too much. Maybe I can add a quick key for the order buttons to reduce the click count to 2.

@jcmonkey Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can make the ramp up of the game a bit slower.

@ehtd Thanks a bunch, sorry for the confusion! The game being a bit confusing seems to be a common theme I'll definitely have to fix.

Jet Boy by Harry Light 2018-04-23T05:21:29Z

Awesome game!

I do agree the first boss is really difficult. Feels like you need really good jet efficiency to beat.

Also I found a bug on the second boss. After beating the second boss, the boss kept on rolling and the game never progressed to the next boss. Pressing restart restarted the game from the second boss as well.

Anyway great stuff.

Jet Boy by Harry Light 2018-04-23T06:08:44Z

@harry-light Haha the bug seems to be fixed!

Very fun game indeed. Beat all the bosses. I do think the first boss is actually the hardest boss funnily enough.

Also just to let you know I found another bug, though this is a lot more of an exception. Seems like the game crashed when you and the boss die at the same time. I really should have saved the exception error message but I unfortunately wasn't thinking. Sorry about that.

Anyway keep up the great work! This game is fantastic!

Jet Boy by Harry Light 2018-04-23T06:24:56Z

@harry-light I believe it happened on the first boss. Something to do with "oPlayer" being accessed. Sorry, the rest of the details eludes me unfortunately.

Elemental Monk by Biterkid 2018-04-23T03:21:01Z

Very nice game. The graphics are nice and the game mechanic was interesting but simple.

I did find the elemental system a bit confusing though, especially fire beating water and thunder beating fire.

Overall though a very nice and simple game.

Vyperspace by iLKke 2018-04-24T03:25:28Z

Great game! Was initially surprised by the turn-based nature of it, but it works really well. The different movement sounds are a really nice touch too.

A really minor point, but I did find being able to move into yourself rather annoying, since I accidentally died a couple of times. This happened especially at the early stages of the game when things really haven't ramped up yet and I just wanted to play fast.

Regardless, a fantastic combination and a nice level of polish too. Great stuff!

Par 99 by notnullnotvoid 2018-04-24T04:52:35Z

Wow this game is really fun and polished. Everything from the gameplay, art, and music are all top notch!

Really liked the level design, and the natural integration of the power-ups to overcome obstacles.

A minor thing since you can just trial-and-error, but I did find it a bit difficult to tell the direction of the slopes in general. I also found that finding the next step after getting the curve ball took a bit of time for me, and for the puzzle right when you get the invert gravity power-up, it took me a very long while until I realized that you could continue to hit the ball while in invert gravity mode.

Anyway, all these are really nit-picky. All in all a fantastic game!

Cities: Platforms by lucasbra1 2018-04-24T04:28:36Z

This game's concept is very interesting! Really liked the music and graphics too.

I did find that the game felt a bit too easy though, since I felt I was playing the game for a while and didn't get hit once. I honestly just stopped playing around the 3000 point mark since I wasn't seeing the end of the game in sight.

I really do like the game loop though. Running around and trying to keep your buildings balanced while dodging meteors was really fun. I just feel the game would be better with a more possible end game condition.

Anyway, all in all I really like this game! Great work!
