RealityCheck

Dr. Deckenstein: Escape from Castle Brainia by quill18 2019-10-27T10:19:20Z ♥ 0

Very well polished entry and a lot of fun to play. Really loved the sounds - especially the dash made me chuckle a bit. The pixel art is nice as well.

I ended up stuck in a wall, though, after being hit by one of the meteors Capture.PNG

Lovely entry. Great job!

The Choice of Life: Middle Ages by Xakkar 2019-10-27T09:55:12Z ♥ 2

A really fun game to play. The art was super gorgeous and I liked the humor in the story. It was fun to make choices along the way and see where it took you. It did feel a bit random though (first time playing - then you knew the choices), I still don't understand why I died because I polished a sword...

Music was great too, and I think this could be developed into something really cool. Maybe with a bit of randomness to it, so that you can't just know what choices to make. Great entry.

Jared's Fresh Start by DrCheetos 2019-10-27T09:41:41Z ♥ 1

A very nice start to a game here. I enjoyed playing it a lot.

There were a few issues though. For one, I felt the game was too dark. A bit more contrast to the world could go a long way towards making things feel clearer in the flashlight. I also had to ctrl+alt+del the first time I died because I couldn't get out of the game - the button that said return to menu wouldn't work. Also, auto picking weapons was a bit annoying as during the midst of being overrun I ended up swapping my flamethrower for a pistol. It was also a little difficult to see what kind of weapons were on the ground.

What I really liked about the game, though, was the weapon variety. The hordes of zombies that would rush at you gave it the extra it needed to keep you on your toes. Lovely entry.

Inspiration. by F1Krazy 2019-10-27T09:17:46Z ♥ 1

I really liked the story and the use of the theme in this game. It could have used some music to accompany me on the journey and keep the silence away. I also ran into a couple of glitches - got completely stuck in the park as the arrow keys stopped working - maybe because I didn't remember which key was for inventory and I tried a few out. I had to restart the game there.

But, I enjoyed playing it - and the ending made it all come together in a nice way. Great work!

Full Moon by slimabob 2019-10-25T20:59:07Z ♥ 2

Well, that's not the full moon I expected :)

Really funny story. I wish it were longer. I didn't really like the invisible walls when walking towards the spaceship, and the movement was quite jittery and laggy for some reason.

Voice acting was awesome though and the humor was definitely there. Great job.

Nullified by Coda Highland 2019-10-25T20:46:26Z ♥ 0

A nice little platformer you got here. I liked the character and enemy sprites. Music was great too.

I did run into a few issues. First try I didn't know there were randomized levels and I got a map where I couldn't go anywhere... so that was a bit confusing. I mean, litterally... I could go about 1½ screen to the right, jump down a level below and all I would find were enclosing walls - so the the random generation needs to be looked into. Restarted the game and found a much better map. There was also some clipping issues on the platforms I felt and the hitboxes seemed a bit weird.

Still a great idea and nice story. I liked it.

Leaping Louie by mccarlp 2019-10-25T20:21:44Z ♥ 0

Really fun idea and I enjoyed playing it. I had a few crashes forcing me to start over, but other than that it was nice. Even though I clearly sucked at the game :)

Nice work on the voice acting as well. Good job.

Stranded by kleinzach 2019-10-25T20:02:09Z ♥ 0

A very nice and relaxing exploration game. The music was calming and the graphics style was neat. The white rocks, perhaps, could be given a little bit of texture as I couldn't quite see where one ended and the other started when I did the platforming puzzles. Took me a while before I located the first banana. Also - loved how your camp built up over time, though I hadn't checked my journal, so the first time I laid eyes on a campfire in the distance I thought there were others on the island :)

I also felt that the view was a little low... but maybe I was just short. The treasures would also benefit from some bells and whistles as they seemed to be the main collectables.

Overall, very nice job. Keep up the good work.

Zen Man by Team Catwheel 2019-10-25T19:20:52Z ♥ 0

Very... zen ;) Loved it. The graphics were really nice and the smooth movement of your little ball made it a joy to play. Now, I misread the instructions at first and thought I was supposed to avoid the fish... so I was wondering what was going on for a while... hehe, but that's on me.

Great idea and interesting take on the theme. Very well done.

Nothing to Say by celia14 2019-10-18T22:37:13Z ♥ 1

Cute game and well designed. It was very frustrating at the beginning when I couldn't do anything but sit quietly and stare at her as she did all the talking :)

Great idea and well put together for the progression. The simplistic art was perfect. Great entry.

Ludum Dare Simulator by Marcin J 2019-10-18T22:20:55Z ♥ 1

Very nice card game to represent the stress and joy of participating in a game jam. Had lots of fun playing this one. Graphics were really nice - great color scheme.

There does seem to be a bug with the Mood rating - seems you always get #1 for that? Maybe there was just not enough time to implement that properly.

Either way - had a wonderful time reliving the LD weekend... in a more relaxing way.

HEARTSCAPE by ZakAmana 2019-10-18T21:58:10Z ♥ 1

Very nice rougelike game. I really enjoyed it. Music was great and the presentation was awesome.

One thing I did realize that should be looked into: The corrupted heart. It should probably go down to zero cards and lose the game or something, because when it capped at 1 card I could just spam corrupted hearts and then play whatever card showed up. I ended up my second playthrough with about 7 or 8 corrupted hearts on the grid... felt a bit like cheating :) Add the crystal ball to that and I still had 3 cards in hand.

Would definitely like to see this concept expanded on, though. Really like what you did here.

World Collector by Joe Williamson 2019-10-18T21:33:42Z ♥ 1

What a solid idea and excellent execution at that.

Animations were solid as were the character design. The levels were fun and presented a good challenge to put together to reach the frog. Music was really good and set the mood for the game in a good way.

This could be fleshed out and sold as a commercial game in my opinion. Very cool.

Nun in the Chamber by BrokenMirrorMedia 2019-10-18T00:22:25Z ♥ 1

I found the game to be very difficult. I like what you were going for, but it still needs a lot to be any fun to play.

Mainly sounds, because it felt off without any feedback. I also kept getting stuck to the walls when I tried to make a tight turn around them.

Still a good job, and I really like the title of the game - took me by surprise when I realized the pun :)

The Song of Calirum by Blizary 2019-10-18T00:11:23Z ♥ 2

Man, I love this game!

The art and the presentation is top notch for a game jam - color me impressed. I really enjoyed the gameplay and the choices seemed surprisingly well balanced for coming up with the idea on such short time.

The only thing I encountered that was a real problem is that I had the Starvation event a couple of times, and although my only option was to "Lose the game", the game continued on as if nothing. I eventually lost the game to exhaustion instead. Also, more events and cards would be fun - some of them seemed to repeat quite often.

I spent quite some time on this, and I was unable to beat it. Don't really know what I'm trying to achieve, but I think that is part of the fun with the experience. I've downloaded it and will be playing again (and again), until I beat it.

Fabulous work - this was right up my alley.

LD45_PickUpTheSword by NickyKendy 2019-10-17T23:14:56Z ♥ 1

Not at all bad for your first game jam game. I did enjoy the idea behind it - especially riding on the little slimes to get where I needed to go. That took a moment of thought before I realized I could do.

Character felt a little slow when walking though, and the lack of sound hurts the experience a bit. However, I think you did a great job and there is potential here.

This Is The Police by Geckoo1337 2019-10-17T23:01:21Z ♥ 1

Fun text adventure type game, and I absolutely love what you did with the UI. The screen effects and everything was top notch.

As for the story I felt the choices were a little too straight forward - it was too easy in my opinion. I would love to see this with a few more branching story lines and different paths you could direct your distress caller in.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience playing through it, though, and the story was nice even though it was a bit short.

Great entry.

OH GOD! by SideKick 2019-10-17T22:40:45Z ♥ 1

Nice little game you got here.

The jumping in the first stage felt a bit off. The slippery feeling I guess was intentional, but I also didn't feel like it responded when I pressed spacebar to jump a lot of the time, which caused additional slipping off the platforms. Once I made it to the top I was surprised to see that there was more to the game.

Main character was cute and the song was nice and relaxing. Good job.

Redbeard's Return by civmaniac 2019-10-17T22:22:02Z ♥ 2

I don't know why but I absolutely loved that music :)

Graphics were great and I loved the idea behind the game. It needed a bit more feel to the gameplay - I didn't even realize I was hurt (I guess by the shark) until I looked up and saw I only had two health when I was on the treasure island.

It was short, but I had fun playing it... and the song really did it for me.

...and to Nothingness Return by philomory 2019-10-17T22:11:34Z ♥ 1

A very nice and unique puzzle game. Started off really simple, but the levels got harder and harder in a good progression. Simple controls and good eerie music. The intro sequence was great as well to set up the story for you.

I liked it.

Dear Diary by Rodrigo Denúbila 2019-10-17T21:43:29Z ♥ 2

That was a very dark story presented in a wonderful way. I like how the necessary pieces appeared as you needed them.

The walking had a lot of camera jitter/shaking though, which could be smoothed out. Good voice acting as well. Could definitely see this approach to story telling being fleshed out and made into a full game. It was very nice in a noir kind of way.

A course at the mall by RadonRaph 2019-10-17T15:28:41Z ♥ 1

Loved the censor option :)

Fun little game. The running felt a bit weird somehow, but I enjoyed running around looking for clothes. I found it a little too easy though, and don't really know why I would pick up other items than clothes. Running around always got me away from the security guards.

Enjoyable little game. Good work.

Magic Escape by Xephrys 2019-10-17T15:18:02Z ♥ 1

I really liked the hand painted art. Music was nice as well.

There were some minor issues with the inventory items. I noticed (particularily on the wood piece for the torch) that it sometimes didn't revert back to the inventory, and I could place it in the world). Also, the hitboxes sometimes were a bit off as they wouldn't respond when I clicked on something.

Game was short, but I enjoyed the time I spent with it. Puzzles were logical and not too difficult or abstract. Good game.

Sugarship by Firebender 2019-10-16T23:48:02Z ♥ 0

Fun little game and the art is great.

The no sound thing really hurt the game though, as it was hard to "get into" a groove playing it. Took me a while to figure out what I was doing at the beginning, but once I got it it was fun to play.

Something to keep working on, as with some groovy music and sound effects this could be a great little game.

Monkey Mountain Holiday! by scalliondelight 2019-10-16T23:40:37Z ♥ 3

Nice game, and I really like the character graphics. Music was popping and the animations were good - really liked how little piggy covered his bits in the beginning.

Fighting felt a little bit off, and it seemed all I had to do was mash the button and I would win. So some work on the combat system could really help the game out. Also, it was too short :)

Great game overall. I had fun playing it.

MINUTES TO SHIP by Hydezeke 2019-10-16T23:30:39Z ♥ 1

Really fun and creative game. I had a blast playing through it - watching my own creations come to life. Once again I get to confirm that my artistic skills are on par with a five year old. Not a talented one.

Music was great, and I loved the sense of humor. The style and layout of the game was really well done as well, so I really liked the aesthetics of it. Overall this was a great game and well done!

Bedroom Battle by Mkate 2019-10-11T15:53:17Z ♥ 0

Lovely little tower defense game. The graphics were the highlight of this game, I feel. They were really cute and well made.

Couldn't figure out how to change tower type (did see it here after I played), so an in game mini-tutorial would have helped. Also the movement felt slightly off, but no biggie. And, it would have been good if there was some indication that a new round is starting. Some music would have been nice as well.

Apart from that - it was a good game and I enjoyed playing it. Good job.

War For Nothing by kubs 2019-10-11T15:39:21Z ♥ 0

I love zombie games.

I couldn't quite get the feel in this game though, as the punching seemed random. Sometimes it didn't appear that I hit the zombie despite definitely hitting the arrow key in the right direction. Do you use ammo to fight with your fist? Because I had the ammo counter bug, so I don't know how much ammo I had.

Also, could never get out of the starting area. How does one open that door at the top?

Good effort though, and with some work you could have a fun little game.

&zwsp; by winniehell 2019-10-11T15:25:06Z ♥ 0

Nice game. Really enjoyed it.

However, I got stuck after I unlocked all the colors and picked up the frog. From there I couldn't find anything to do... had to give up, so I didn't see the ending which makes me sad. Is there an order in which things need to be done? Or did I just miss something?

Still a great experience though, and I might come back and see if I can figure out the ending. Clever how you did the music.

Wipe It by BarracudaDisaster 2019-10-11T14:31:15Z ♥ 1

So bizarre in such a wonderful way.

The graphics were gorgeous and well put together in such a short time. The game was funny and I just never thought I would ever play a game with my pants down trying to avoid onlookers.

The controls were a bit annoying though, as I couldn't really figure out what made me trip all the time. But, I gotta say that the tripping animation was funny.

Awesome fun though, and well designed.

Start 95 by kromeboy 2019-10-11T13:53:54Z ♥ 1

This was a fun little game.

The idea was really solid and fit the theme very well. There wasn't really a whole lot going on, of course, but I liked how if you got hit by a mine you lost the collected programs.

Good job.

Empty Dungeon by Wevel 2019-10-11T13:44:03Z ♥ 1

Really nice idea and well executed. Sweet way of adding key-bindings at the start of the game.

Loved the old computer screen look and going traditional rogue-like. Game was perhaps a little too easy, though. Didn't even get to use my open door skill before I won the game. Perhaps some feedback when fighting would have been nice as well (don't think there was even a sound?). Also, I had to ctrl+alt+del to close the game after - or did I just miss a way to exit the game?

Overall, I very much enjoyed playing the game - and with more features you could have a very good classic rogue-like on your hands. Good job.

Seed by Trusty 2019-10-11T13:29:02Z ♥ 0

A charming little game. The reward was kinda crap though ;)

Liked the hand drawn graphics, and the music was good. I think after I picked up the fertilizer from the cow that the text was flipped? Not sure, but for a brief second I thought it was.

Good fun - good job.

Bereshit by p-r 2019-10-11T13:15:06Z ♥ 1

I like the idea here, and the music was great.

Kinda felt like the chance of getting the black holes were a little too small, as I had to collide stars upwards to 10 times before getting the desired result. Also, the screen shake was a tad too much at times (especially when I started spamming stuff just to get new stars).

The planets and asteroids could have done with smoother shapes, but I really liked the collision effects and the booming effects when stars were created.

Overall - good job!

Conception by ToxicComputer 2019-10-11T12:52:59Z ♥ 1

Very interesting idea this one. I think this could be expanded to an interesting experience.

As for now, I didn't quite understand what to do. The first solar system I played had some events I could choose. Then I went to the other solar systems and all I could do was add more planets and then it finished on it's own.

If there were more events and a clear indication of what your choices may result in I could see this being a lot of fun to play.

Good job.

Neon Void by egawag 2019-10-11T12:45:36Z ♥ 2

Very nice game.

Loved how the ground cubes raised up around your character. The music and mood was great and really made for a relaxing play experience. The minimalist graphics style suited the game very well and looked awesome. The only thing I can think of is that I would have like the cubes I picked up to connect to the nearest side so I could shoot in more than one direction.

Great entry. Good job!

Meager Genesis by Hajden 2019-10-09T22:14:36Z ♥ 1

Very soothing and relaxing. Not sure there is much of a game here - but it definitely was an experience.

The physics felt nice in the movement, and the soundscape including the little booms when collecting orbs was very zen-like.

I think I reached the end of the map at one point, since my little guy went off screen.

Not My Hoarder by Tommyflower 2019-10-09T22:01:25Z ♥ 2

An entertaining game. Got very hectic as stuff started to pile up and no one wanted them. Had a bicycle that I had to jump over every time I went to the door and back.

The drawn artwork was really nice. Too bad the contrasting art style of the objects didn't match the other excellent art. Also noticed a little problems with the transparancy as you can see little borders along the edges of the character sprite.

The idea was great, though, and I thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay. Great work.

Flow by Frank Gevaerts 2019-10-09T21:40:08Z ♥ 1

Nice little text adventure. Now, I haven't played one of these since the dawn of computers :) So, I struggled a bit with coming up with the words to use to trigger the story events.

Did enjoy how it all tied together at the end though, and the writing was nice.

The Darkness by Iconocatstudio 2019-10-09T21:23:46Z ♥ 0

Great little maze game. I really liked what you did with the lighting - the lightning flashes that helped guide you every once in a while (they were the reason I found the key). The rain and the thunder along with the ambient sounds of the cave were comfortably spooky.

I felt like maybe you walked a little too fast when you had no light to guide you. Ran into monsters too quickly - though it wasn't much of a problem since they don't hurt you physically, and I was already out of light.

Keep up the good work.

Shooty by Clock-Work 2019-10-09T20:52:32Z ♥ 0

Nice little simple shooter.

I felt the controls were a little bit off, but that could be just me not being used to shooter games. I didn't like that enemies spawned randomly in the map - it would have been much better if they spawned just outside of the screen so that they came flying in, instead of just appearing on screen.

Music was nice. Good work for your first Jam - keep the good work coming.

Naked and Nothing by summerjw 2019-10-09T20:44:15Z ♥ 0

404 Error on download page. Can't find your game.

Where To? by Leonardo Fraga 2019-10-09T20:41:06Z ♥ 1

It was interesting. A lot of running around with nothing to interact with though, but a couple of the puzzles I found were a little interesting.

I like the character sprite. Some of the backgrounds and interactables were clearly not finished though.

Clothes On My Back, Things In The Sack by MaxyMax 2019-10-09T20:22:23Z ♥ 2

Nice little game. I just wish there was a little more to it.

I was wondering why sometimes the civilians turned into cops... it wasn't really clear what I was stealing from people. I noticed that sometimes they had a little logo that showed they had items, other times my dude just went Uhm, and the counter went up. Also, movement felt a little "slidey"... as if I were on thin ice (which, in a sense, I guess I was).

Also, first try I was supposed to get four items, but got caught at three. Then, when I replayed it only asked for two? Did that twice and the game took me back to the main menu.

Do like the concept, though, and I think with a little work you could have a nice game on your hands.

Sabotage by deepnight 2019-10-09T20:09:40Z ♥ 2

That was awesome! Really loved this little game. It was challenging, but not so hard that I felt like giving up at any time. Levels were nicely done, and after dying once or twice in the latter stages I had usually formed a plan of attack.

My only gripe with the game was that the Restart key was right next to the F key... happened a few times that i restarted the level instead of picking up an item - that could be frustrating.

But, I'm telling you - when a Ludum Dare game has me playing it 'til the end because I don't want to stop - that is a true sign that the game is great. Graphics and animations were wonderful. Music was great. And, hey! Who's wouldn't want to head into a war zone with their equipment out :)

Homeless Business by Ludo 2019-10-09T16:51:08Z ♥ 2

Impressive graphics for a game jam. The music was absolutely awesome as well.

Sadly I found the controls very unresponsive and sluggish. I also got stuck in the environment several times, and even though you provided the reset button - that didn't always to the trick. Especially up by the TVs I tended to get stuck behind the dumpster, fence and light post.

If you did some work on the controls and the feel of running around this could be a very fun game indeed. The physics of the flying objects made for some fun situations. I managed 510 points - but the game didn't want to end when time ran out. I was stuck up by the TVs by then, but wanted to see what happened when time was up.

Overall, though, I really enjoyed your game.

Don't RIP in Hell by Somogy 2019-10-09T16:30:12Z ♥ 1

Great intro story and excellent mood setting soundtrack.

I didn't quite get the gameplay though... I was just kiting around. Sat in a corner for a while because I was safe there. Tried escaping out the gates, but that didn't seem possible. So I never quite figured out why I was trying to get away from the demons. I also felt like the hitboxes for the demons should be smaller. Because of the point of view it felt as if I should be able to sneak behind them, but because the hitbox was their entire sprite I got killed even if it didn't feel like he should be able to touch me.

Did enjoy the whole guiding of the little skeleton dudes though. Great effort.

Vicious Cycle by ryzy27 2019-10-09T16:15:11Z ♥ 1

Awesome atmosphere and nice art. Sound was a little bit low for my liking, but I cranked up the volume a bit. The first part was really easy, but the language screen had me stumped. I had a few letters down, but ended up always missing one piece of the puzzle. I'm a little tired right now, so I might give it a shot later when I can remember more letters at at time ;)

Overall, I liked the entry and enjoyed the weirdness of it. Great entry.

Emergency Procedures by enderr42 2019-10-09T15:57:31Z ♥ 1

A very nice go for your first attempt. I liked the idea behind it all, and the inability to change direction when not up against a wall made it interesting. I could definitely see this going places with some more work.

However, I was unable to finish a single battery before the asteroids hit and I got killed. So there is some balancing needed. Sometimes I also got stuck to a wall and it would not allow me to jump away from it.

The UI and the art was very nice though. Again - very good work for your first go.

HOBO RAMPAGE by Ntimi 2019-10-09T15:37:34Z ♥ 5

Very nice pixel art and I really like the idea. Found it very frustrating to beat the knife guys though - even after seeing the hint in the comments here to attack from behind... just they always turned around too quickly and I couldn't dodge because there was a delay to jumping or moving after I had hit (or so it seemed).

But, I really liked the art, the music and the idea of it all.

SlimeySlime by WhatNameGames 2019-10-09T15:18:37Z ♥ 1

Well, that was short ;)

The graphics are nice, and most of the gameplay feels good. I was able to stand in the middle of the spikes though, and not take damage (seemed if I dashed into the middle and the spike animation had started it didn't trigger damage?

A few more different challenges and maybe an enemy or two, and you have the beginnings of a nice game though. Good job!

Wandering Soul by negator2vc 2019-10-09T13:11:03Z ♥ 2

Pretty much all the important feedback has already been said. The atmosphere and graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and I liked them a lot. Gameplay, however, needs more work. I could not really figure out the hitboxes or develop any kind of strategy to beat the enemies, rather mashing space and hoping I didn't take too much damage (couldn't really tell when and why I would take damage either. And, of course - when dying I had to reload the browser because the game wouldn't end.

I think there is something here, though. With some post Ludum Dare work you could fix the combat and add some more variety to the gameplay - the style and mood is already there. Good job.

SOMtHINGa from NoThINGa by Jimbly 2019-10-09T12:29:28Z ♥ 1

Great idea and well executed. The tutorial could've given me a little more info as to what determines the changing elements - took me a while to figure that out... could be I'm just dumb :)

The minimalist style works very well, and I like the subtle zooming as you build up. Music and sounds are wonderfully balanced to the gameplay, and keeps your frustration from getting out of hand.

Tiny World Defense by IanMorrison 2017-05-17T21:26:05Z ♥ 1

A really fun game. Kept me playing for quite some time. Graphics were beautiful, and the sounds were great. It was very challenging as well, and the controls felt smooth. The physics when hitting other spaceships gave the oomph that you so rarely get in games, and was one of my favorite aspects of the whole game.

It could get a little hectic at times, and I had a hard time understanding what hit me - but I attribute some of that to my lack of experience playing shooter games.

Overall - this was a well made and entertaining game. Good solid work!

Operation: Small World by mikethewayne 2017-05-17T21:01:10Z ♥ 1

I was intrigued by the intro, and thought I was in for a fun experience. And, the idea is nice. However, the game didn't offer much in terms of gameplay. There was no variety on the different floors (same layout), and no increase in security. When triggering the alarm effect, it didn't seem to put any further alert on the guards, or even spawn more.

There is a foundation here, on which to build a fun experience. But, in it's current state it is a bit lacking. I went about 10 or so floors, hoping to see the end, but nothing seemed to change from floor to floor, except where the stairs were at.

Great effort, though. And with some added functionality and more variety - this can be turned into a fun game.

R.U.D.I. by SpaceWizardJ 2017-05-17T20:32:13Z ♥ 0

A nice little game. Took me a while to figure out the controls, and I wasn't too happy with the x and z combo... too close for me, meaning I ended up switching tools too often when I wanted to shoot. But... that's on me.

Nice graphics and sound. Good job for a 48 hr game.

Crunching Creatures by Evan Overly 2017-05-07T22:28:26Z ♥ 1

It was an interesting idea, but needed a bit more explanation and clearer goals. Watching the little squares move around was entertaining for a little while, but I had no reason to spawn more and more of any particular creature. Extinction didn't matter, since I could just spawn an infinite amount of new ones.

And... finally I went for the grand finale and nuked them all! Nothing... everything just gone, but no explosion. I was sad.

Keep up the good work, though. It takes some dedication to put together a game in 48 hrs.

Astromike by mikea 2017-05-07T22:19:50Z ♥ 1

Gosh darn, those are some excellent graphics. The clean style and the beautiful colors really sold me on this game. The puzzle aspect was a lot of fun, and I can see this being developed into a full game. One of the top games I've played this LD.

The background music/atmospheric sounds were also top notch, giving it that eerie feel while playing. A bit of story surrounding who I am, and where I am... and why, would really turn this into a true gem. (Just realized there was a bit of story on the game page - but none in the game... unless I missed it)

Fantastic work!

Godspeed Mankind by cvetk0 2017-05-07T21:10:30Z ♥ 1

I like the idea of the game, and it was fun to play. However, I feel that there wasn't much strategy to it. I just kept going in circles in the same direction, picking up the water, dropping it in the farm, taking its food and dropping it in the town. It all boiled down to how much rainfall you got.

There is definitely something here, and it's an interesting concept. But, in it's current state it is only fun for a few minutes.

Nice music, and a good entry for a bunch of coworkers with little experience programming. Keep up the good work!

Nuclear Treehouse by batmanasb 2017-05-07T20:49:04Z ♥ 1

Cute and fun little game you got here. I like the perspective view with the giant black pillars obstructing the sight line. That made for some interesting game play.

You should have opted out of the sound rating, though, since there was no sound in the game - which could've made the experience more engaging. I would also have liked some indication as to what kind of weapon I was picking up. I did not know their properties, so I just stuck with the one that had a continuous fire rate... but, it did seem to kill the monsters slowly.

Good work, and a fun 48 hour game. Keep it up!

Floppy McFloppyface by Mars 2017-05-03T23:57:00Z ♥ 1

I don't know why, but the child-like graphics were really charming 😄

Good fun little exploration game, and I had to complete both endings - so that's a good thing. Only thing I wished for was the ability to run a little faster. It felt a little slow when going back and forth between the different places (despite how small the world was). Music got a bit repetitive, but was catchy.

Great humor, and I enjoyed flopping my arms at the tree. Good work!

The Space Explorer by UnidayStudio 2017-05-03T22:58:22Z ♥ 1

Truly a gorgeous game for a Jam. Impressive graphics, animation and the music was good. Story was entertaining to play through. Excellent implementation of the theme as well.

The combat did feel a bit lackluster, and the camera was a little strange. Would have preferred if it stayed behind the character, so I didn't have to move my mouse to rotate the camera when turning.

Overall, though - this was an impressive game, and I am glad I got to play it.

Exoman by Rother Games 2017-05-03T22:41:50Z ♥ 1

What a crazy bullet hell game. I liked it. Good fun mowing down people and houses. Pretty nice pixel art with the houses coming apart.

It did get a little repetitive after a few levels, and the more gun-speed and grenade-speed you got, it pretty much became a walking simulator (discovered that shooting high and grenading low seemed to be a viable tactic).

Overall, it was a solid compo game that offered a fun time playing.

Libre by DiegoCTorguet 2017-05-03T22:29:41Z ♥ 2

Really enjoyed this game. The atmosphere was wonderfully creepy and desolate. Puzzles were fun enough, though I would have liked things to be a little clearer when moving tiles, as I couldn't really "feel" that part. Some visual representation of them switching positions would have helped a lot.

Good entry, where music and sound effects stood out to me - and not every game has an actor, so a plus on that one too.

Starbob by Gato 2017-05-03T22:05:11Z ♥ 1

I am in oooorbit! 😄 Didn't reach any of the moons, but I've been floating around in space for about five minutes now after I used the Minecraft technique to build myself straight upwards. Ran out of blocks, and as I was falling back down to the planet I was hit by one of the asteroids which sent me sideways and into orbit.

Fun idea, and a good job!

World of My Own by kantieno 2017-05-03T21:52:22Z ♥ 2

A neat and fun little game. And, it's always nice to see procedurally generated worlds in Ludum Dare. I enjoyed exploring the world, looking for the portal.

At first, though, I thought the paths were rock formations - so I was wondering why I couldn't go to the next map. Music did get a little repetitive after a while, but that's to be expected for LD games.

Overall, I think you did a great job. And there is more content in there than I first realized. Keep it up!

Mini Planets by Willbl3pic 2017-05-03T21:24:00Z ♥ 1

Interesting idea for the theme, but the controls felt very unresponsive and slow. On some planets I couldn't jump, and being forced to run backwards into a cannon when chased by the T-Shaped things, the game locked up in a jittery fashion.

Keep up the good work, though!

Throw by somethinboutgames 2017-05-02T19:45:55Z ♥ 1

For something so simple as this, it was strangely addicting. The ball physics felt good, and I enjoyed the variety in the puzzle elements. Struggled with level 4 (angled bounce to hole behind player) and the final one. But, made them all in the end. Music was nice and comforting, and overall it led to a satisfying experience while playing.

Good job!

For Eternity by holgk 2017-05-02T19:29:55Z ♥ 1

Love city building games! Quite impressed with what you've accomplished in a short amount of time.

It is in dire need of a tutorial, though, as I had absolutely no idea what I was doing for quite some time. I had a lot of people just standing still on the roads... still not quite sure why they did that when there was work to be done. Would also be nice to have some stats that show number of citizens, stored food, wood and stone.

Graphics are nice (especially on the menu side of things), and it's impressive that you got the people animated as well.

Failed to win the game at the end, since I missed that I had a time limit. Will give it another go later.

Great work!

GALAXEN by mrerdalural 2017-05-02T19:00:59Z ♥ 1

Visually pleasing game, and a very unique concept. Kept getting dragged into the sun too rapidly the first few tries, which was discouraging, but started to pick things up on the third attempt.

There is something here to build upon, for sure. Good job!

Place Them All by Yami no tenshi 8 2017-05-02T18:50:14Z ♥ 3

I had a lot of fun playing this game. It was interesting to learn how the tribes would interact differently with each other and the resources, and try to work these behaviors to your advantage. Graphics were real nice, and the audio set the mood perfectly.

Only wish I could have brought it up to full screen. Everything was really tiny on my monitor.

Great game - Great job!

Space Turtle by Sebastian Lague 2017-05-02T15:29:35Z ♥ 1

A beautiful and relaxing little game. The feel of the space turtle was well executed, and the music was soothing.

I felt that it was a little hard to see the oncoming rocks at times, but maybe because I played during daytime and the sun was brightening the room... playing in the dark is probably recommended.

Overall, it's an impressive 48 hour effort - the physics seemed to work flawlessly. Great work!

Polar Protector by AlexHoratio 2017-05-02T15:20:01Z ♥ 0

A fun little game. Liked the concept of shooting the different enemies with their own elements - however, it would have been nice with a little tutorial screen in the game telling me the controls. Couldn't figure out why some of them wouldn't die, until I got back and read the instructions here. Also, there should be a key press available to start the game, so I don't have to grab the mouse and click between games (I may have missed it, but I tried a bunch).

Graphics were simple, but did their job. Sounds were nice and the music catching. Good work, and congrats on your first Ludum Dare.

Monster Deck by kamikaziuk 2017-05-02T13:46:28Z ♥ 1

A fun simple card game with beautiful graphics. Sounds were good as well, apart from the initial screen where the letters appeared... created a loud repetitive noise that should be replaced with something a lot more subtle.

Game play was a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it was quite fun.

Tub of War by quill18 2017-05-02T13:34:37Z ♥ 1

Fun game with excellent graphics for the short amount of time Ludum Dare gives us. I kept getting confused which way I was going, though - but I guess it just takes some getting used to.

Great job, as always, and it was fun to check in on your stream every now and then when I needed a short break from my own programming. Learned a lot from your tutorials, so thanks for all your hard work.

Path of the Rabbit by managore 2017-05-02T13:19:43Z ♥ 0

Man, this game is addictive! Excellent composition with a handful of easy to understand mechanics creating a fun, strategic experience. Really difficult as well, but in a good way - the "gotta give it one more go" way. Graphics are simple but present the game's look and feel nicely.

Only thing I would suggest is a "Game Over" mechanic when you've directed your rabbit to a dead end tile. I know I can just hit escape to start a new game immediately, but it would still be nice with a trigger that tells me I have nowhere left to go.

Great job!

Super Small-io World! by micahcowan 2017-05-02T11:12:12Z ♥ 1

Nice little game. The controls felt smooth and worked very well. Graphics were simple, but cute.

Struggled a bit with the third planet for a couple of tries, but then focused on just jumping at the right time and running around it until I collected all the coins.

Good work!

It's a Small World, So Let's Crash It into Things by simonhutchinson 2017-05-02T11:03:35Z ♥ 1

Good fun. A simple concept that works well.

I think the camera would have been better with a smooth follow, though. Also, I went a long way in one direction, and seemed to lose the Black Star... I made myself huge, and then I had to go looking for the black star for quite some time.

Other than that - good game. And nice creepy voice for the Black Star.

Its a small world by SuperMsp10 2017-05-02T10:45:28Z ♥ 1

Interesting idea for a game. I liked the potential of it. The graphics would have benefited from being a bit more unique (not using Unity primitives), and the controls for the player could be improved. Also, the random generation caused some problems. First time I tried the game there was not a single planet I could reach from my starting point. Sometimes planets would also generate inside one another.

Still, it was a fun idea.

Tiny Hadron Collider by clegamecoop 2017-05-02T10:23:26Z ♥ 2

Great idea and a well made game. It was difficult, and addictive (may have to get this for my phone). Music was great, and set the mood well. The simplistic graphics worked as well.

Does have the ability to make one rage... which I like about games 😄

D4RK and the Small Worlds by abhimonk 2017-05-02T10:05:22Z ♥ 1

This was a nice little platformer. Minimalistic art style worked, and the music was good.

Did have some issues with the control scheme (playing with keyboard). The wall jumping, in particular, seemed to be a hit and miss a lot of the time. I also had a slight freeze every now and then while playing... don't know why that was.

Keep up the good work.

PogoPogo by obvious-san 2017-05-02T09:50:00Z ♥ 2

Cute and fun concept for a game. I enjoyed exciting the crowd, and the pixel art was good.

A bit confused as to what the strategy would be. At first I was just hanging out up by the stage, but then I realized that people started leaving for the corners, and figured my job was to run around down there, as they seemed to run back towards the stage once I got them Pogoing. Also, does the crowd surfing give points? Or was that just a way to get out of a tight spot?

Good Job!

Your Planet: Too Big by Scriptorum 2017-05-01T22:54:33Z ♥ 1

Fun little game. However, I could not get past the third puzzle, because the three yellow tiles would not connect properly after destroying the brown and the green. No matter the order or anything. I may be missing something here, but I believe I tried every possible combination of clicking orders, and still could not get the three yellows together (missed about a quarter of an inch).

Anyway - it was a nice little idea, and I would have enjoyed playing further.

A Rat's Story by stupidpawn 2017-05-01T22:40:34Z ♥ 2

Nice fun little game. I was a little confused the first time I made it all the way across since the rat just went off screen. Thought there was going to be a second level, and that the game bugged out, so I restarted. Then I realized you're supposed to be going back again, as new food seemed to spawn.

Nice job.

Snowed In by Dezzles 2017-05-01T22:29:53Z ♥ 3

In the words of Colin the Badger: *"This game was f**cking great!"*

While the game was short, is was the best few minutes I've spent on any Ludum Dare game so far. The narrative was absolutely fantastic - pro-release quality there. The story was funny and while the puzzles were quite simple, they were innovative and fun to play. I really don't have anything negative to say about this game, as it was perfect for what it was... and it was made in 72 hours.

Superb job, and congrats on having made a great game!

Star Traveller by SecondDimension 2017-05-01T22:08:36Z ♥ 4

A cute and (as described) simple puzzler. I really enjoyed it. It set up the atmosphere great with the music and the beautiful and stylistic art. I would have enjoyed it if it were a bit longer, but what can you expect from a Ludum Dare game. What was there was excellent, and you did a great job on this game.

Colonized Panda by Pashok 2017-05-01T21:57:50Z ♥ 2

Such a relaxing and beautiful game. The graphics were beautiful, and the music soothing and added to the desolate feel the game portrays. I truly enjoyed the experience.

The only thing that I would suggest improving is that sometimes it took a bit long for new events to pop up, and as much as I enjoyed sitting back, relaxing and watching the panda float in space, a slightly higher pace between events would be nice.

The music... again - Top Notch!

Hibernaculum by redpanda 2017-05-01T21:41:34Z ♥ 1

Such a cute and adorable game. Stellar graphics, and the puzzles were fun and reasonably hard (did struggle to get the snowflake on the second level, but finally figured it out). Oh... and I just read your spoilers above... hehe - that's not how I got to the snowflake.

Wonderful idea and well executed in 72 hours. Great job!

Get In The Robot by RetroSpecter 2017-05-01T21:15:24Z ♥ 0

I liked the graphical style, with the 2D hand drawn images in a 3D space.

Not much of a game here, though. I ran around getting new robots and destroying the town. One MAJOR issue though, is that I heard my fans starting to go crazy - then the game froze on me and hard locked my computer... forcing a restart - not good.

Keep up the work though.

Miniverse by sebasrez 2017-05-01T19:38:58Z ♥ 1

I enjoyed this game. Beautiful art style, and interesting game mechanics. Battle grid was a new take on turn based battle that I haven't seen before. Well done!

It did have it's problems though. Like someone mentioned above... couldn't get the guy who turned four to man up and fight me. It was also a little hard to fully understand what the different relics did... and how they interacted with each other in the battle grid.

However - there is definitely an interesting concept going on here that could be improved upon and turned into an interesting game.

Elf's Conquest by 0ctopuce 2017-05-01T19:17:23Z ♥ 3

Beautiful graphics and animations in this game. Very fun to play, although I do feel there were a couple of design choices that were a little off. For example, on the bridge with the multitude of crocodiles coming at me for an extended period of time... I thought the game had bugged out at first. There was also a lot of trial and error during the final chase.

However - I thought this was an enjoyable experience, and for a 72 hour game - quite impressive. Good work.

Eine Kleine Insektmusik by davidthelazar 2017-05-01T18:53:05Z ♥ 1

I like the idea. And, cute little grasshopper.

Sure, I feel the game could've benefited with some things that you need to do while the songs are playing, to force you to move around a bit. When I played "For River" bonus song - you can simply just remain on the spawn point and wait until the song is over... that key is never used.

Simple, but cool little game, though.

Commander's Log by smbe19 2017-05-01T18:37:48Z ♥ 2

Great game. Quite a difficult learning curve at first... kept dying on day two, because I could not keep up with the resources needed. Made it a bit easier once I realized that I could remove the previous day's orders. Perhaps a reset on the orders should happen on delivery, as I kept thinking "how do I make more money to buy stuff?".

Either way - this is an impressive amount of stuff for a Jam game, and I'll certainly be looking into this game some more later on.

The web version does not scale up to full screen - so I was playing with a tiny little game window (which is why I had such a hard time understanding the order system). Downloaded it instead and played full screen on my computer which made things a whole lot more fun, and visually pleasing.

The New Kid by Saurabh 2017-05-01T18:09:38Z ♥ 1

18 friends! Hey, that more than I have in real life 😆

Nice little game. I kinda wish there was more info to base your decision making on, rather than just a percentage chance of the circle becoming your friend, but I still enjoyed clicking away and making little round buddies.

Good work.

Stable Orbit by mrspeaker 2017-05-01T17:14:01Z ♥ 1

Man that was challenging! I enjoyed it. My ego would not allow me to stop until I managed to get a stable orbit - took about five minutes of jumping and bouncing my head real hard, but I got it in the end.

Nice simple little game. Good work!

Den by La mecanique du plastique 2017-05-01T10:54:46Z ♥ 3

Graphics and Audio - 5 stars, no doubt! That's what really stood out to me in this game. Loved all of it, really, and this was just a tremendously well made Jam game.

Did get stuck a little bit at times in the walls, so the controls could be improved a little, but it was nothing game breaking (just had to jiggle a little and I was moving again). Also, there still seemed to be a bit of an issue in the final room. Had to mess around for quite a while before the people would unlock the door for me. Though, I thoroughly enjoyed hitting the walkways and sending them flying 😄 Also, the panicked voices and running around was fantastic.

I feel there is the makings of a great game here, if it were expanded and a few more mechanics to keep things interesting. Would encourage you to continue development on this.

Great work!

Where is mommy? by jQnas 2017-05-01T10:23:56Z ♥ 3

A very enjoyable little experience, with some great atmosphere to capture the mood of being alone, small and afraid. Great mechanics with the candles to make rooms safe, and I also really enjoyed the frightened rush back to her room when she was too scared.

As others have mentioned - the controls and camera could be improved. Maybe the character herself should be smaller as well... she almost filled the width of the corridors, making her feel a little too big at times.

Did reach the end, but didn't fully get the story - what DID happen to the parents? And, why was I leaving bloody footprints on the floor (I guess those were mine... at first they scared me 😁 ).

Either way - this was a great little horror game, and I genuinely felt the need to complete it.

Icarus Isolation by King Kujito 2017-05-01T09:44:45Z ♥ 1

I have finally got around to playing your game, now that voting is live.

The game is visually pleasing, and the animations for the character are stellar for a Jam game.

As seems to be the sentiment in many other comments, I found the controls very hard to master. I also found it confusing to navigate the skies. Maybe that's just me, but I soon wouldn't know what is up and what is down. Also, after I died... it seems the camera changed from a behind the character view to a top-down view, which made steering even stranger.

Overall, though - a tremendous Jam effort, and a game that could definitely be expanded upon and tweaked a little to make for a fun experience.

Jelly Germ by Ethereal Psyche Games 2017-05-01T09:22:03Z ♥ 2

Fun little game. Graphics were really nice - especially the cute little jellies.

Music worked and set the mood nicely, but I do wish there were more other sounds to fill out the atmosphere.

A couple of things though: * Is the yellow jelly supposed to shoot jelly on the wall? Doesn't help my jumping when it's on the wall, so I got stuck on the fourth level because I could not reach the high platform. * Sometimes my jelly would stop dead on the floor, and I'd have to jiggle myself free with the arrow keys. Some hitboxes for the floor may be slightly raised?

Overall, though, I did enjoy the experience, and it was a great little Jam game.

Chrysalide by Pierre 2016-05-09T15:49:00

Took me a couple of tries before I figured out why I became a larvae again, but after that I got rollin'. Beautiful graphics and great audio all around. The game was challenging... at the fourth level I struggled big time. Had to give up as I'm short on time, but will probably come back and see if I can't get further. Great game - good job!

Henkan Pachinko by AnaGF 2016-05-09T15:32:00

Nice but short game. Kinda wish there were a few more levels. Also, it wasn't clear which way the ramp would go sometimes, as I wanted it to go one way, but it turned out to go the other so I had to retry. On one of the levels we had three shifts available, but I only did one and that was all that was needed. I don't know if that was by default, or I just found an exploit. Still it was fun while it lasted.

Sheep Shift by A-Flat Miner Studios 2016-05-08T19:52:00

This was fun. The graphics are really nice. The music and audio is well done, and captures the mood of the game. I kind of wish there was a little more to it than just herding the sheep into different shapes - maybe throw in some birds, or something that could frighten the sheep and have them run away as you're trying to group them... but, what is there is really well polished and it certainly kept me entertained.

Doodle Book Survival by CarlsonAndPeeters 2016-05-08T17:36:00

Really like the graphical style you came up with here. I also enjoyed the game, and after a few seriously failed attempts I managed to get 12000+ points. I would have preferred the shapeshifting keys on the number pad as an option, as I kept getting confused with the fire button right next to the shapeshifting buttons (yes, I know - I could've used space, but I did prefer the F-key). Also... no exit game option.

But, overall - this was a solid and fun Ludum Dare entry, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Moonlight by Phaix 2016-05-08T17:24:00

I like the whole werewolf vs. vampire theme you got going here. I couldn't quite understand the game, though. Is it even possible to hurt the vampires? I ran up to them and swung my claws like mad, but did no harm to them. Nor could I find where the silver key went. Either way - good effort.

Nyamo's Adventure by DDRKirby(ISQ) 2016-05-07T11:51:00

Friggin' great. The animations and the platforming feels perfect. Music was awesome too. Did run into a bug where I glitched into the terrain and had to wait until I passed through it to begin moving again, but other than that everything worked as one would expect (played the compo version, so it may have been fixed). I really loved little Nyamo in all his shapes, and it was a great little platformer that should be expanded on. Definitely one of the best games I've come across in this Ludum Dare.

Reform by EvanEGibbs 2016-05-07T11:20:00

What a gorgeous looking game. Now, I'm not a platform gamer so I couldn't make it past the level with the high pillar blockage, and ended up rage quitting after about 30 tries - so I never got to the ending. For lesser skilled players, like myself, it would be nice if the blocks stayed just a second or so longer. Still, the art and the music was absolutely top notch.

Silver Bullet by pavel_insight 2016-05-07T08:50:00

I enjoyed this game. Didn't really get the ending, though. Doesn't quite make sense to me... and nor could I find the elusive clue I've been hearing about. Still it was a nice entry, and I liked it.

Soul Shifter by Tommyno222 2016-05-04T18:19:00

Nice game. Nice animations and pixel art. I didn't quite like the controls - but, other than that I really enjoyed the time I spent with it.

The adventures of Wizard Hamster: The epic battle with dreadful Robot Cactus! by Shizor 2016-04-28T08:59:00

Fun little game. Sometimes it felt like I didn't shapeshift into the closest object, which got me killed a few times, but I enjoyed it none the less.

Great graphics!

Fugitive Shift by PowerSpark 2016-04-28T08:47:00

Very impressive compo entry. Nice simplistic 3D graphics and moodsetting music. I really enjoyed the puzzle solving stealth levels.

There was a problem with the camera though. The first time I found the second character, I ran him up to the exit disguised as a guard and deselected him to get the other guy up there. The camera centered between the two, and neither was in frame... so I could no longer select anyone. Didn't find a way to move the camera, so if there is... it's just me who couldn't figure it out.

Either way - a nice and unique stealth game that could definitely be developed further.

Town by guin36 2016-04-26T19:52:00

This was cute and funny... yet grim. Not much gameplay, really, but I did enjoy the story.

Breaking Fat by SantiHisteria 2016-04-26T09:24:00

A nice little game that has some good ideas behind it. I found the movement a little slow, and the flying mechanic was kinda wonky to me. Even on easy I struggled hard.

Werectangle by Batzorig 2016-04-26T09:15:00

Fatal error occured where I was supposed to press arrow down, and I couldn't finish the game. Apart from that, it was a nice little platformer.

The Skinmancer by derr 2016-04-26T09:08:00

I liked the pixel graphics a lot. Music was good as well. The game itself was fun, albeit very hard... especially since I had to play with a keyboard. Great entry, though.

Who Are You And What Are You Doing Here?? by Shatter Point Studios 2016-04-26T08:56:00

Yeah, I'm sorry. I tried 4 times, but I got stuck on the first courtyard point-and-click style screen. I did like what I saw of the graphics, but unfortunately I could not play the game.

A walk to the top by jk5000 2016-04-26T08:48:00

Very nice puzzle game. I really enjoyed the sound... gave me quite a good chuckle.

Only problem is there was no real challenge to the game. A quick glance and I could quickly assess how to place the stairs and arrows to complete the level. Some more variety options to complicate things would make the game much better.

I liked how many levels there were to the game though.

Rude Bear Requiem by Alex Rose 2016-04-23T10:06:00

It was a bit confusing to figure out what I was supposed to do. But, I liked the art style and the audio.

SUBJECT 26 by MSiddeek 2016-04-23T09:43:00

Excellent game overall. Pixelated art was nice, puzzles were interesting and fun to do. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience here. Great work!

Town by RedPanda 2016-04-23T09:16:00

The artwork was nice, but the jitter didn't do it any good. I also felt that I didn't really get any feedback from what I was doing. It's a good attempt, but unfortunately - for me - it fell a little short.

MoveARound by Pecolyte 2016-04-23T09:07:00

I thought this was a great game. Using simple mechanics and clear rules, it made for some very interesting puzzles. Only real problem I found was that sometimes when being an icecube and wanting to touch fire to become water you just became insta-killed instead of turning to water. Was especially frustrating in the last level.

Graphics did the job. Pretty minimalist in the sound department... could've used a little background music. But, overall - I enjoyed this game enough to make me NEED to finish it. Good job.

You're a Floor Lamp Now by blinry 2016-04-23T08:27:00

A fun little game. Very original idea, and nice graphics.

Doppel City by Green Soda 2016-04-22T13:15:00

Such a beautiful game to look at. And I really enjoyed looking out for those shapeshifters and blasting them to smithereens. Great little easy to play game. Got 241 points, but I messed up on level seven shooting two innocent people... collateral damage, I say.

Monstershift by redwizard 2016-04-22T13:05:00

Very cute looking graphics. Not sure why the shapeshift was necessary - didn't notice any difference in behavior or anything. Would have been nice if it was a little more challenging, but still a cute and nice little game.

Project G.R.I.L.L. by vctr_seleucos 2016-04-22T13:00:00

Nice and polished 48h game. Good old-shool shooter. Didn't really see the use of shapeshifting, other than changing up your attacks and movement, but I had fun playing it.

Black Heart by luquio 2016-04-22T12:45:00

Trippy! This was too much for my eyes and brain to process :)

Still a nicely done game, with good sound effects. I did have trouble separating my avatar and the oncoming shapes at times - probably because the graphics scrambled my brain.

Star Shift Journey by Asturk 2016-04-22T12:38:00

This was actually quite a fun little space shooter game. Theme was well implemented and the simplistic old-school style shooter was quick to learn. Didn't encounter any bugs either.

World Dominator by TomPugh1112 2016-04-21T18:35:00

There are some interesting aspects for sure. Unfortunately, I found the controls - especially the attacks - quite lacking. I didn't really get how to hurt the enemies as the sword hit them and pushed them back slightly... but no damage most of the time.

The procedural generation of the maps, however, was really cool.

Spacetime Shifters by Atridas 2016-04-21T18:27:00

I took a long time before I encountered any enemies. I drove around, nothing happened, and I almost quit. Pretty basic gameplay, worked as one would expect. Nice ship models, though.

Shifty's Shape Escape by grayhaze 2016-04-21T16:56:00

Is there a way to change the controls? I couldn't get the semi-colon to work on my keyboard, so it was kinda hard to get anywhere. Nice idea though - and I liked the sound. Good take on the theme.

Shadow Shifter by Broken Matrix 2016-04-21T16:37:00

Interesting concept. I found the game a little dark, though (realize it's called Shadow Shifter). Controls were a bit funky. Could be an interesting game if developed further.

ShapeShift for Cheese by Adipson 2016-04-21T10:54:00

Absolutely amazing graphics for a Jam game. I am in awe ;)

My only real gripe about the game was the long waiting time for dialogue. At least I couldn't find a way to speed them up, and sometimes when testing things I had to wait long times reading the same thing again. The puzzles were ok.

But, what really made this game stand out was the amazing graphics. The sound was also very good.

Eggplant’s Dynamic Chimerization by DAT.NOT.MY.GAME! 2016-04-20T18:51:00

Graphics wise, this was a wonderful game. The controls and music were tight as well. Unfortunately, I didn't understand what I was doing. Sometimes my avatar would change randomly, even when I didn't press shift, and when I restarted after dying I kept respawning right next to a wolf that just attacked and killed me several times in a row.

There is definitely potential here, but a more clear goal and some tutorial type explanation would do it good. I still played for a while though, because I did enjoy running around... especially as the eggplant.

Dr. Deckenstein: An Adventure in Severed Parts by quill18 2016-04-20T18:40:00

I will beat this game... I will.

I think the no-sound really hurt the game though. Otherwise, it's a great game and a lot of fun to play. I really DO want to beat it, so that's a good thing.

Didn't catch (hardly) any of your livestream, since I was busy working on my own submission. I owe you a lot, as your YouTube tutorials have taught me a tremendous lot about programming.

Space Morphers by OWi Games 2016-04-20T18:02:00

Wow, that was short. :)

Slicer by GoudaGames 2016-04-20T12:10:00

Very difficult indeed, but I like the idea. Took me a while to figure out the mechanics, and it would have been nice with a couple of more slow moving levels to begin with. But, still an interesting concept.

MISCEO by crisp 2016-04-20T11:59:00

Interesting and unique concept. Sometimes a level would start and send me straight into a killzone without giving me any chance of survival though. Nice effort, still.

Mixle by stoo 2016-04-20T11:35:00

Interesting game, especially as the puzzles got a little harder.

55 Days by V4lesti 2016-04-20T11:26:00

Very fun and relaxing game with stellar graphics and great music. I will probably play this one through a few more times, and I'd be interested to see if you keep working on it what it could become. Great fun.

PS. 5694 was my score. I felt good about that.

Son of God: The First Transmorpher by Gyfis 2016-04-20T10:02:00

Very nice. Animations were great and the graphics very stylish. I liked the music too. Controls a little bit hard to master, but still a fun game, and a good take on the theme.

The Tale of Lapkovius by ziege 2016-04-20T09:49:00

Very nice stealth game here, and good use of the theme. It was challenging as well, and that's a plus. Good music and nice simplistic graphics. Overall a solid effort.

Virgin Blood by bogdan.tana 2016-04-20T09:42:00

Great little stealth turn-based, realtime mix. Nice graphics too. Too bad there were no sounds, but it was still an enjoyable experience.

A Soul of Clay by fullmontis 2016-04-20T09:26:00

Great game. I liked the graphical style and the mood was dark and appropriately unsettling. Good job on this one.

Shapetrak by RoadToSalvation 2016-04-20T08:41:00

Very nice little game. The audio in particular was great. Good music and awesome sound effects. I enjoyed this one.

Tetrashifter by Garazbolg 2016-04-20T08:35:00

Playing on windows I couldn't really get the controls to work very well. I liked the idea, and the way you implemented the theme. I'm sure it works better on mobile devices.

Helium-4 by mountainstorm 2016-04-19T17:08:00

I don't know why... but I had a good time clicking around on the little atoms. Don't know if there's a strategy to employ, but I enjoyed trying to get new formations. The game crashed after a while though, and I suspect a memory leak somewhere. Nice gravity and a fun little game.

Hart of the Forest by adsilcott 2016-04-19T16:46:00

Graphics were gorgeous... especially the main menu screen which I really liked. I also enjoyed running around as a deer collecting villagers. Too bad there were things (obviously) missing, but the potential is there for a very interesting game. Good effort!

Full Moon Village by Tom 2016-04-19T16:27:00

Was on a 4:3 monitor and couldn't play it because the resolution left houses outside of the view. Also the scaling of text made it hard to read. I was interested in seeing it, so I might give it another go when I get to another computer.

Morph Brawl by Seregy7 2016-04-19T16:20:00

There was a good idea here, but it was too limited to be any fun. Different enemies and levels, and different abilities to counter and defend against, and you could turn this into something good. Graphics were simplistic, but nice.

Count Spoopy's dance club by MrBoxBox 2016-04-19T16:13:00

Neat game. I liked the shapeshifting mechanic you got going here, and there were some fun and challenging puzzle aspects. I had to work a couple of times the first time the three guards popped up. Graphics were quite nice and pixelated as well. Some polish and more levels and you'd have a nice little game.

Klurby by Ildfuglen 2016-04-19T16:02:00

This was a neat little game. It had some problems though. Some enemies shooting through walls and I couldn't jump when moving forward on the stairs. Had to stop, jump and then move forward... this got me killed once or twice. I did like the 2D/3D mix between the character and the environment.

Shifty the Spellthief by vethan 2016-04-19T15:50:00

Definitely release worthy graphics here. Beautiful to look at. Gameplay felt nice an polished as well, apart from the map which didn't help me at all. I kept running around in circles and couldn't find the end goal. Also, sometimes the guards could see me even if I had changed shape before their cone of vision caught up with me. I found it smarter to just jump over them... which is cheating and defeats the purpose of the game. However, with some more work - this could be a really fun game.

CHORUS by Pantelis Petsopoulos 2016-04-19T11:44:00

38470... first go.

Nice little simple game. Easy to understand, easy to play.

WaLeFi by Strike 2016-04-19T11:28:00

Really love the artwork here. Beautiful game to look at, and the gameplay was straight forward and did what you expected from it. Good entry.

The Deronois by Griz 2016-04-19T11:14:00

There is a nice foundation here on which to build a game. It's unfortunate that there's not enough content yet. I would love to see where you could take this with more time. The graphics are nice, the platforming mechanics are smooth and works well. I didn't NEED to use any shapeshifting though... I could just run straight past the enemies though. Still a good start that I'd suggest you continue developing.

Shape Rave by MintArcade 2016-04-19T10:09:00

It felt like the 70's came to a 90's rave party and made babies. Seriously, loved the graphics of the game, even though they messed up my head after a while. Gameplay was a little simlistic at times, and I didn't realize what killed me until after a couple of tries. Great little game, though.

ShapeTests by PremadeGames 2016-04-19T09:59:00

Very much like the robotic voiceover. Excellent use of it in the tutorial as well. The game was a little too easy at first, and when the speed picked up, the door had not risen high enough to let the shapes pass through. The door should rise faster as well. Also... there was no exit game button. Graphics were minimalistic but worked well for the game.

BLOB Passage by Per 2016-04-19T09:46:00

This was a nice little game. The shapeshifting blob was really nice looking. I wasn't really sure about the time limit mechanic. I had hundreds of seconds at the first level, but then no time at all on the second. Still an enjoyable game that could be developed further.

NeonDX by neondx 2016-04-19T09:39:00

Very nice graphics, and the gameplay was tight and felt good. It was a little fast past right from the start - maybe could have eased us in at a slower pace to get used to it first. But, overall a solid effort with a good hooked factor.

Infinity Access by Hyoga-3D 2016-04-19T09:32:00

I liked the graphics. It was a nice looking game. But, honestly - I had no idea what I was doing or why. Some in-game tutorial that explained things would have really helped. Nice effort though, and like I said - I did like the graphics.

Chemscape by iSasFTW 2016-04-19T09:23:00

Nice little game. I kind of wished it was a bit longer, but then again... we don't have much time here.

RescueBot by tomdeal 2016-04-18T21:45:00

Apart from the controls, which I found to be a little clunky, the game was fun to play. I like the graphics - simple but pleasing to the eye. Good game.

Plato and the 'Caves by qu2 2016-04-18T14:49:00

Good fun rougelike-lite game. It was quite confusing how to use the shapeshifting abilities though, and once I did figure it out, it was a bit clunky when those real-time movers got close, as you had no time to shapeshift.

Either way. I enjoyed playing it, and that's what really matters.

TerraShift by Leon Möhring 2016-04-18T14:20:00

Very good entry. I really enjoyed watching the village grow, and unleashing natural elements against dragons and wolves. Graphics are top-notch for a compo game.

Easy to play, easy to understand (if you read the goals of the game first) and a very solid entry. I liked it!

Shift by CoderDozer 2016-04-18T14:03:00

Nice little puzzle platformer. A few more levels would have been great, but I still enjoyed the short time I spent on it.

Transmorgification Situation by KBF123 2016-04-18T13:53:00

Interesting little game. I had to move files around after downloading to play it though, that had me confused for a second. Liked the simple graphics... and was that a Binding of Isaac reference in the trees?

Go Away, Zeus! by Crimson713 2016-04-18T13:38:00

The graphics are absolutely wonderful... and hey - with a naked woman in there how could they be anything but...

Gameplay wise... took me a while to figure it out. Kinda wish there was a little bit more info before we started (some hints). Either way. I did enjoy playing. But, the graphics are really what made the game.

Pasowix's Magical Shapeshifting Workshop by glaze_96 2016-04-18T13:27:00

I quite enjoyed this little game. First customer had me stumped as I hadn't read his comment, and didn't know what to do. But after that, only the fish had me scratching my head... how obvious it was at the end though.

Didn't encounter any problems, and the game ran just fine. Nice little effort! Really liked some of the comments from the customers... "Hammer Time" ;)

Mr.Slime by Tutti Ankka 2016-04-18T13:14:00

Fun little game.

I kept getting stuck in walls and the ground after shapeshifting though... could always get loose by jumping, so it wasn't gamebreaking. Liked the simple graphics as well.

Tumbleshift by imit 2016-04-18T12:59:00

Loved the graphics. Very stylish and pretty to look at. Game plays well, although I didn't really like the collision detection on the barrels. Feels like I should be able to avoid them, but the entire height of the barrel is used for collision.

The music though... heck yeah! I'm digging it!

Feel Bad by longloaf 2016-04-18T12:49:00

Hehe... That was short and fun.

A bit of a surprise there as well. Liked how you could get different endings.

Shape Shifters Inc. - A near-future dystopian manufacturing simulator by whilefun 2016-04-18T12:38:00

I liked it.

Didn't understand at all what I was supposed to do, so it took me a while to complete the first level (got a shameful report... can't imagine why I didn't lose my job).

Don't really see much of the theme in there, but it was still a good effort. Controls seemed to be working just fine and it felt good walking around in the factory. Some nice looking machinery would have been even better if colored a little.

Scary Faerie by jojocanard 2015-05-07T21:17:00

Interesting concept, and while confusing at first, well executed. The graphics are stunning for a 48 hour entry. Music matches the mood of play well. Good job.

Soul Breaker by DeadFragment 2015-04-25T16:41:00

Truly enjoyable experience. Great artwork, good fun gameplay (especially trying to figure out a bouncy path for those buttons). Character moves a bit slow for my tastes though, and that could be improved. Overall - a great entry for the jam!

ink by quill18 2015-04-25T15:55:00

Really love the idea behind this game. The theme is used perfectly for what is ultimately a well polished 48hr game. Found it a bit strange/uncomfortable to both move and melee with the left mouse, but other than that - great stuff.

Space Enforcer by Suhvan4ik 2015-04-25T15:44:00

Unique and interesting idea. I quite enjoyed it, though I wish it had more to it.

Allium: Rise of the Leek Knight by srakowski 2015-04-25T15:08:00

I was preparing for some serious fighting there at the end... :)

Nice graphics, fun little game. Good job!

Rollout by Tortoise 2015-04-25T10:24:00

Insanely hard to control the tire, but it was still fun trying to get it where you wanted it to go. The physics were decent as well.

Funky Knight by Fluffy Tigers in the Sky 2015-04-23T21:42:00

Very fun little game, and I enjoyed the graphics style a lot. Managed to beat it on the first go, though I was a little confused at the beginning. Great work!

Love Bomb by Andrew Quartermain 2015-04-21T16:30:00

Nice little game. Great graphics. I only wish it was a little clearer what I was supposed to do. How to affect the population and so forth - still a solid compo effort.
