Deep Mine Ventures by PatrickRMC 2021-05-16T19:48:20Z ♥ 0
i enjoyed playing and i think the idea of a terraria style game with a fixed level layout is completly under-utilized in gamedev. playing this made me realise that there is potential in a consciously level designed mining platformer type game. however, i did not enjoy having to restart after collecting 30 rubys and dying on my way to the shop, in fact i gave up after the 3rd time it happened.
theres definitely some polish needed (platformers are up to an insane standard nowadays) but with the overall design, with short levels/mines, i think i could have fun optimizing and trying to do some speedruns.

i found it hard to tell when i was doing bad which was frustrating because i was having fun. i think with some polish and play testing you could have a really fun arena highscore fps game though. the sword getting a ranged attack the better you play is great, the grapling hook felt a bit reduntant so maybe add in some plat forms or something or fences to jump over.

i like how you give the player the choice to fuck the boss's wife. in the following manefesto i will lay out why "fucking the boss's wife" should be integral to all future game designs...
really though, this is a neat concept that simulates both working with people you hate doing work you detest.
This Special War by mvasko2 2022-04-10T21:33:30Z ♥ 1
a stark reminder of the brutality on this world. Even though one escapes, the horror seems inevitable. i dont have anything to add that hasnt been addressed. just that i enjoyed your game and well done for trying to take on a serious topic.
The Ultimate Martian Roulette by HaaYaargh 2022-04-10T21:18:52Z ♥ 3
note to self: never play russian roulette, i have zero luck with it. couldnt survive a single match but had fun doing so. i really liked the concept and making it robots with goofy crimes kept things light and fun. i mean the way things are going it would be amazing if they automated prison labour lol. i thought the ring effect on the desk was a nice touch, overall the scene was put together quite well. really solid entry you got here, good work!

had a lot of fun here. the flow diversion mechanic is great. i spent many rounds trying to improve but this was the best i could do best.png

this is so cute if not horrifically prescient. theres just so much polish, i mean you got a dang ccharacter customisation and enemy cutscenes. fine work!
Boop The Balloon by kuggenhoffen 2022-04-10T17:38:58Z ♥ 1
just a solid good vibes game. nothing negative to say. i had fun booping the ballon, the dog was so cute! i liked that it wasnt overly difficult to keep the balloon up making the theme more a player choice thing rather than something forced upon them. which just helps juice the mood of the game. good job !
Attack of the Yellow Things by Beelzeboss 2022-04-10T17:28:32Z ♥ 1
this is a solid prototype to build off of. i did not last long at all but the unit variety was cool even if the tanks just destroyed everything. i think had the balance been improved i would have stuck with it for considerably longer. the enemy designs were cool and the overall cyber aesthetic was well put together
Mr. Second by Marvis 2022-04-10T16:41:17Z ♥ 0
i was having a blast until level 5. the moving enemies make that impossible for me. i had the left side perfect but couldnt get the timing for the right side. other than that, this is a great character design and a fun platforming gimmick that could easily entertain for many levels
Bark Park! by Space_man 2022-04-10T16:20:30Z ♥ 1
theres some real nice positive vibes coming off this game. such a neat idea. i was suprised at the progression of the dog owner getting projectile attacks, that was a nice touch. heres my high score best.png

i HATE visual novels, they are just not compatible with my adhd but i decided to give this ago and i was suprised at how it kept me in. i love the characters, the background music was perfect and overall made me reconsider maybe trying more visual novels. good job!
Ground From Under Feet by wild_fat 2022-04-10T14:50:08Z ♥ 1
i really like this design but think you could replace the hammer with another gun. i found it difficult to keep more than two platforms up and even that became too difficult so i basically just ended up defending one and ignoring the rest of the level. though thats probably just a balancing issue due to short development time. overall i think this is a solid foundation for what could be a fun twin stick shooter
Somnipathy by Cyzaine 2022-04-10T14:40:14Z ♥ 4
i loved that you added in references to other ludum dare games, thats a really nice touch in the spirit of the jam! i rarely enjoy games where you are chased by an unstopable beast but this one was kinda fun for being relatable. also thats some fantastic creature design its gross and unnatural, perfect.
Paddle Panic 🚣♂️😱 by Marlon 2022-04-10T12:32:52Z ♥ 3
i liked the art style here, i reminded me of the 3d Sam n Max games a bit. i kind of struggled to keep from falling and the longest i lasted was only 120 seconds but i still had fun. i could see this being a fun mobile game to play on the bus or whatever.
1 Man 6 Bullets by Raphaeltan 2022-04-10T12:23:18Z ♥ 3
great game, fantastic use of that superhot like time movement. i was suprised at how chaotic things got when theres like 15 bullets bouncing all over the place and you're trying to grab all of them, kill everything and not die. it feels overwhelming even though you're in complete control of time. good work
The End Is Coming by MOOOKS 2022-04-10T12:14:17Z ♥ 1
this was a fun game but felt a bit to easy to be really engaging. i think if the play area was larger you could do more like add more asteroids, etc. a simple idea well executed, well done!
One Last Letter by fosf0 2022-04-10T12:07:38Z ♥ 6
this is a fantastic use of the theme. there were issues with getting stuck next to things after using them which really spoiled the experience but the main mechanic of trying to get your final words on paper was overall well executed
Dilate the time! by milq 2022-04-10T10:37:49Z ♥ 1
never got time to spend with my lover. :( i got really close and it hurt not making it and i rage quit after. really fun platformer that is really difficult, though a lot of the difficulty is just controlling the character. though i think the aesthetic sells this as part of the design so doesnt feel unfair or limiting to me when playing

fun game, i wasnt very good at it but 531 was the best i could get after some practice best.png
ENDURACE - Drift Or Die by Phillip Scott 2022-04-10T09:15:02Z ♥ 3
i really enjoyed seeing all the burnt out cars on the track, even just the illuminated smoke particles off in the distance really added to this racing game. i think you should try and optimize the particles and stuff so the race track gets completely covered over the course of a race. it creates this dynamic feel to each lap, where usually in racing games you're just doing the same thing each lap
The Final Day by Very Bad Bunny Studio 2022-04-10T08:56:44Z ♥ 1
very cohesively designed game. everything is as it should be for this kind of homage to old RPG games. only thing i can suggest is maybe adding some kind of simplistic visual effect for when the monsters are hit/defend/etc. i think there is definitely a market of people who eat these types of games up and are basically starved at this point, so polish this game up and get it out!
Gladiwaitor by Lone_Wolf 2022-04-10T07:17:25Z ♥ 1
nothing really to add that hasnt already been addressed. i did enjoy having the developer be a character in the game, i am all about that stuff
Heaven Fallen by Lighty_the_Light 2022-04-10T05:17:23Z ♥ 1
this is really fun game. reminded me of Loop Hero but i cant really articulate why... I am really bad at this but it didnt stop me playing through 4 times. Get the art finished, polish the sound design and slap a price tag on this, its great
Mia's Bear Service by Lumous 2022-04-10T04:52:24Z ♥ 1
what a lovely wee game. the short intro video was a nice touch and i liked how the player character wore the items they were carrying. i dont really have anything to suggest improving on... just needs a bit of polish/juicing and its good to go! good job!
Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-09T04:54:40Z ♥ 2
i loved the mood of this game. as someone who struggles with being organised i've have many all nighters trying to get things done and i felt a part of that in this game. also im not sure its intentional but having to constantly type j,l,j,l... was starting to become physically painful. while probably bad for a wide audience, as a niche piece of art i think this is great as a means of making the player experience the effect of having to hold off sleep when you are so very tired. i think if i had to change anything i would make it so the play just had to press any key they wanted to stay awake, so that they could find what ever is more comfortable.
Morpheus of Mars by AnneArkey 2022-04-09T04:36:19Z ♥ 1
i could see this being a cool wee RTS puzzle game of efficient resource management. not gonna say how many tries it took buti had fun figuring out the optimal order of doing things.
Prophet Kingdom by dans17 2022-04-09T03:15:12Z ♥ 2
nice game! i had a lot of fun trying to micro manage all the building. i think with a bit of UI/UX work this could be a really greatgame.

this is so dumb. its perfect. moderation is a futile effort and this simulates that very well
Star Keeper by MrHumannn 2022-04-09T02:45:53Z ♥ 3
thank you for including a solution to the pipe part. i could not figure out what i was doing wrong. but thats a minor thing...
i really enjoyed the space pirate aesthetic. landing on the red planet and seeing the wee pirate house on a massive ocean was a really nice, the level itself was so nice i just hung out in it for a while.
overall i like the idea and could make for a fun setting for the artists to go wild
AMBROSIA by pierogo 2022-04-09T01:20:59Z ♥ 2
i loved this. the mood was excellent and was a fun take on the block pushing genre. this is my first game to rate of the jam and i couldnt have asked for something better. i found the puzzles fun, a couple of them made me feel like an idiot for not seeing the solution, which to me is the perfect balance.
i think if you got rid of the magic stuff and had things seem more realistic it would really improve the feel. the glowing orb and boxes sets up an expectation for something fantastical that isnt really needed. just being in a submarine is a horror in and of itself... i think some kind of sci-fi tool like the gravity gun in half-life 2 would be more fitting.

just a heads up my antivirus (avast) is having a fit when i try to download this
i know the antivirus is probably more harmful than the game but let me know if you know what sets this off.
