Wow, one of the best games I have played in LD33. Very well polished, strategic, challenging and simply fun!

Wow, one of the best games I have played in LD33. Very well polished, strategic, challenging and simply fun!
This IS a true successor to "Quest for the Crown", indeed :D
The strategy in my case was clicking as fast as possible. Either I'm a fast clicker or the ballancing is off. I liked the atmosphere.
I enjoyed playing this entry a lot. The game mechanic works well. I hope you will expand on it. Would love to see such a game evolved into a giant raging beast feast of gore.
Basically, all has been said above already. Have to join Tuism on that one: you should have concentrated first on gameplay, then polish. Otherwise all that comes out is more like an interactive greeting card. Hope that didn't sound mean. Your team definitely has potential, I can tell by all the beautiful visual details.
Wow, an amazing entry. Believe it or not, but that was my first idea, which I ended up abandoning. I couldn't see a good way to reverse Donkey Kong. Haven't thought about waves of heroes.
But you went even farther with introducing the barrels which can hurt the player-monster as well. I also loved the physics that added possibilities and complexity.
The best game I played in LD33!
Well, a Yeti in a suit is definitely a force to be reckoned with.
Turn-based stealth game sounds like a good idea to me :) Couldn't win, though. When two people were left there's always been a message saying one has escaped and warned all others.
The mood is great, the graphics the music... But then, there is not much of a game :( That's sad. It's started, but it should continue. I like the minimalistic side scrolling, if it just had more substance...
I liked the atmosphere a lot, this includes graphics + audio + setting. Liked the game mechanics less. I didn't quite get, why the traps would disappear after I've set them up last round. Also, what exactly does it mean, when you set a trap. It seems the people disappear quite randomly. I'm sure, I'm missing something, just don't know what...
A very good entry, in my opinion. Maybe, it's because I love simulations and strategy games. I see a LOT of potential for this game to be something I would pay for.
What's missing is mostly balancing and maybe some interdependency of actions, like the player could tap into some resources to gain more energy. This would add some pace instead of sitting there waiting for the 30 energy to fill up.
To be honest, I liked the audio most. I found the course not too hard, made it at the second attempt, after falling out of the map the first time. Overall, for an action game it could use more pace.
This is a very simple game, in fact, a little too simple. It gets a bit boring, soon. Things I liked are the cute grahics and the tune. Thus, considering the extremely short creation time, it's a nice little game.
Wow, a wonderful entry, and normally I don't enjoy text adventures. But this one is so very immersive. I especially liked the little details, like the changing words in between the sentence and of course Ma's pieces of wisdom ^^
I like the graphics and the game machanics. Though, it get's too hard soon and a bit repetitive.
Very nice graphics. I liked it at the beginning, but it gets boring soon. With some added content and more variety this could be a fun game.
Very atmospheric, but I couldn't get so much fun out of it. Maybe I got it wrong. Seems like it's running around gathering stuff, avoiding enemies and dying too soon, because of the time limit. Pacman seemed to do the job better.
The graphics, sound and mood are ace, though.
This game is really satisfying for some reason. Some more variety and a goal (or did I miss something?) would make it a more complete game.
A very nice idea, to reverse a manager game. It's extremely short though. Thus, it's hard to really get into it. I see a lot of potential, however.
A very cool and humorous reverse dungeon game. Had to laugh more then once :D
I'm a bit torn with this game. On the one hand I liked the graphics and the music/sound a lot. On the other hand, I found the game-play a bit odd. I couldn't really observe any clear difference in the behavior of the two different manifestations. Also it gets repetetive quite fast.
A surprisingly innovative game. I enjoyed the controls and even the crazy sounds. I found the greed dragon and then the game ends. In my oppinion what's lacking is a purpose. Why am I doing all of this?
The idea is a very interresting and innovative. However, as it stands there is not so much fun in exploring. Somehow I'm missing more game mechanics in this game.
A wonderful puzzle game. I have never seen such a concept - very innovative and fun!
The game-play gets a little boring quite fast. But the visual style, the sounds and the sound-track are superb. All in all: very well done!
Really, this is a piece of art. I love how all the pieces of the game tie together. The connections, the elements, the progression that drives the music, which, in turn, drives the motivation to continue. The only criticism I could come up with is that the music, specifically in the beginning, was getting boring quite fast. I think one could alleviate this by allowing a slightly faster progression for the first three planets. On the other hand, this might be the problem of me playing on a laptop with a touch-pad. Apart from a couple of small bugs, like connections and elements stay there when switching planets - this is a perfect little universe that you just have to love!
Wonderful game. Especially regarding the limited time. I really like thearcade elements and they're nicely intertwined with the story. Really beautiful.
Of course the game would be much more fun with a working AI. I think with more balancing and more diverse actions it could be a really challenging and fun game.
I liked the setting and the graphics. Though, game-play is obviously still very basic.
Man, my path got dark quickly ^^ I like the graphics and the overall awkward feel. I didn't really get the mechanics, though.
Poor little guys. I loved the sharks eating people. I guess I'm just a very bad person ^_^
I like the humour of this game. The game-play, however, gets a bit boring quite fast. Still it was fun to play for a couple of minutes.
Interresting game about choices in life. It gets a little boring after some minutes of play :\
Well, the mood and overall ambience is kind of interresting. Unfortunately, there is no real game.
Wow, such a polished game. It's way too stressful for me xD But it really looks, sounds and feels GREAT. How did you finish *that* in 48 hours??
Simple but fun game. At the beginning I didn't get how exactly to bomb robots. I like the way the two worlds interact.
Made me laugh a bit. And was also fun for a couple of minutes. I've always been wondering where those socks are going...
Hmm, this is a very interresting and unusual story. I liked it. But it rather feels a bit linear. Although there are lots of different endings, most of them feel incomplete. Fighting the rabit-man was really fun, however :)
Absolutely amazing game. At first, I thought the timing of the drags didn't matter. Then I realized, that the power builds up. Much later did I notice, that you can protect your planet by clicking on it. Otherwise I couldn't win at all. The game is super polished as well. That's clearly the best game I've seen, as for now. More levels and maybe some more specials and I'd pay for it.
I like the idea, though it was quite hard to get at first. Obviously, better visuals and some audio would help.
I love the graphics, and the game-play is really new and fun. A little music would help a lot. Anyway lots of fun, one of the best entries I've seen.
To be honest, this is not "half" finished. I could imagine a bit of where this was headed. Games with gravity are always fun :)
A really fun game with a nice visual style. It is horribly hard, though. I didn't even try heroic o_O and couldn't get past level 1. And I really would love to see more than just the beginning. Apart from that it's a really cool and polished game. I like it, a lot.
An interresting idea. I seem to not have gotten the rules quite correct. I couldn't figure out why level 3 has not worked. But I could imagine, if you would build up the difficulty more slowly and explain the rules much more... It's a nice, finished game with a good idea at its core.
OK, so if I got this right, it's more or less enough to just hold W and push the left mouse button like crazy. However, I really liked the atmosphere and the fast pace. It's amazing, how just the possibility to drive faster and faster can be fun in itself :o)
This game has a lot of potential. In the state it is right now: the controls are quite quirky and there is too little content to really make it fun. But I find the general idea very original and I wouldn't mind keeping the minimal visual style.
I like this genre quite a lot, normally. Run around and shoot is fun in itself. However, I would rather add more weapons and extras instead of more levels. The levels feel quite the same, different weapons and power-ups give such a game substance. Maybe I'm missing something?
I like this game a lot. There is so much potential to extend it into a really outstanding game, I think. A rogue-like farm-game :D That's a good idea.
Nifty little genius game! I really wanted to make something similar, but... failed :(
I do the sexy dance... urm, sorry. :D :D :D
Quit, when I actually made it to the top at the IMPOSSIBLY HARD line up of the yellow circles just TO DIE AT THE TOP SPIKES... phew... phew. Rage over. The game is very nice! I like the idea of seing your dead bodies scattered all over :D That's motivating...
I like the somewhat crazy style :D
It got quite hard where it says PCEyes...
It is an amazing little story! So sad :( and beautiful.

Well, that's a great idea! I have to admit, I love tower-defense, so I might be biased ^^ I couldn't figure out, where the towers would merge, though. Would be nice to know this or even being able to select.

Wow, pretty hard actually. Guess on a cell this would be way easier. A fun combination of genres!
FAST CRASH by tweedle 2018-04-29T08:58:43Z ♥ 1
The aestetics, the music, the sounds are all amazing. The game itself gets a little boring. The trivia questions were impossible, to be honest. I ended up ignoring them.
Puzz Snake by Igor KinGamer 2018-04-29T07:56:02Z ♥ 1
I like the mash-up between snake and puzzle. It is fun and even got pretty hard towards the end. Short but very nice game!

Obviously, pretty hard to play like this. But everything else is amazing. Especially: that VOICE xD

I loved Harvest Moon and I love this one :D Great graphics and nice tune. At first it was hard to memorize the positions of the distillery and the saloon, but soon I knew the whole map by heart. I certainly could imagine playing this game for hours, if there was more to do in it. Would really love to see it developed further. Great entry!

It was fun. The idea alone is worth a thumbs up :D At some point, I had no meat anymore, for some reason. So I lost when all orders required meat, finally. This is a solid game. Sure it gets a little boring after some time. But if you add more variety to the game-play, it could really be great!
