CO2 Struggle by joewan 2017-12-08T19:46:49Z

Nice job! good game.

Shear Panic by marjie 2017-12-08T18:24:10Z

That was actually really fun. Amazing graphics and the game is great. Good job!

Golden Cave by Fred Aberg 2017-12-07T20:18:31Z

It would be nice if you had an idea at which planks were about to fall but on the whole id say it was a pretty good game. Good work!

Knights and Kings by Chaosinism 2017-12-07T20:26:20Z

Love the concept, i think its a bit quick though.

SPLIT by steven-pinto 2017-12-05T16:26:38Z

I like the concept but i don't see how it fits the theme...

Sheep without Shepherd by navot 2017-12-07T20:21:51Z

LOVE the concept. GOOD WORK GUYS!

Manifold Complex by Thorneto 2017-12-05T15:20:58Z

Nice atmosphere. One of my favourite so far.

Sunburn by Shimmen 2017-12-05T15:54:08Z

That's a great concept, really enjoyed playing it, thanks for the experience!

Get in Shape by Prostone 2017-12-05T16:09:47Z

Best Game Yet. Well done!

Space Crash by nikchernyakov 2017-12-05T16:51:48Z

That game was fun! Good work!

Helicopter Crate Overload by Bificommander 2017-12-08T18:31:36Z

Love it! 5/5

Recycle by DeLaiT 2017-12-05T21:15:08Z

Only 8h? fair play...

Where ma Friends at?! by Sabuzri 2017-12-08T19:53:37Z

Love the graphics and it made me laugh. Good job!

Don't lose your marbles by PoshDan 2017-12-05T17:14:56Z

Love it! what an amazing concept.

Friendly Fire by sleepystrix 2017-12-08T19:44:02Z

I genuinely love this game. Favourite so far, and I've played lots.

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-04T23:52:01Z

@torfi ikr

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-05T15:14:26Z

@thorneto thanks! I agree about the music but unfortunately we ran out of time

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-05T15:54:55Z

@machocodes Thanks you!

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-05T20:30:39Z

@r2d48 thanks man!

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-08T16:27:59Z

@fangzhangmna Thanks for the advice! no it was all created by @dan-collinson

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-10T19:31:00Z

@csanyk we agree with all of those points. We wish we could have done more but this was our first Ludum dare and we are only beginners at 14. When the competition is over we will definitely carry on developing it. Thanks!

Space Pirates by Sam Dower 2017-12-10T20:33:04Z

@csanyk Thanks Again! We will definitely take this into account when continuing to develop it later!

Fishing Day by VictorSimoes 2017-12-06T07:58:03Z

Very satisfying and beautiful graphics, good work!

Oh no! Humans! by esper000 2017-12-08T20:15:00Z

Love it!

LD43 — Sacrifices must be made

Trojka by dikkop 2018-12-30T12:04:15Z

absolutely love the graphics. really well done

Eztli by lilkrit 2018-12-30T09:49:12Z

I love the game but I had to restart it because at one point I teleported under the map and the graphics and collisions started popping in and out of existence. However, once I had restarted it was a really fun game to play.

Dungeon of Sacrifice by kantieno 2018-12-06T21:24:18Z

Really nice. Well done

The Gods Are Angry by MrWhimble 2018-12-04T19:51:53Z

Loved the ragdolls. Loved the concept. Only thing was the animation for the sacrificing was hard to aim and all that but other than that it was great.

Dazle Islands by Leandre Renouard 2018-12-04T16:08:46Z

I really like it. Well done. Love the audio and the concept is amazing. Only problem I found was that you could just walk through the trees and skip to the end of each island if you wanted to. but other than that, I really enjoyed it.

Sacrival by Rewzu 2018-12-30T11:46:39Z

The UX wasn't great but that's probably my only criticism, really well done!

The Lord's Shepherd by Sam Dower 2018-12-04T16:02:38Z

@stratoskakalis Thank you, will do!

The Lord's Shepherd by Sam Dower 2018-12-05T07:48:30Z

@kerzak Thanks man, we did run out of time a bit to do a better UX so I just hacked together a quick how to play with quite a few spelling errors that I'm finding now. Next LD ill definitely try to do this.

The Lord's Shepherd by Sam Dower 2018-12-05T07:50:18Z

@doctormozart Thank you! I made all the 3d models and I agree on the unclear how to play. Maybe next time ill get my priorities straight haha.

The Lord's Shepherd by Sam Dower 2018-12-30T12:12:01Z

@wegpast cheers man, that seems to be the main criticism of the game, the UX. I think that's definitely my aim for next time.

Ember's Light by vDovah 2018-12-04T20:03:41Z

Love the game and you have nailed the graphics but im not sure how the theme comes into play.

Destination - Mars by Cricket 2018-12-04T16:33:06Z

Nice concept but I am not sure about the gameplay. I couldn't seem to scavenge anything from ships and sometimes there was just nothing to scavenge anyway. You've already mentioned the noise I know but unless im missing something I just don't get it

The Hero Code is Here! by Dzmitry Pukhouski 2018-12-06T17:59:05Z

Really nice game. Well done

Volcano Of Sacrifice by garagones 2018-12-30T11:43:53Z

Nice game but it just feels like its not quite there yet. A few more hours and this could have been brilliant. Well done!

The Legend of Jam by Naboki 2018-12-04T19:47:38Z

Not sure about the audio and didn't really understand what to do at first but it wasn't bad once I understood what I was meant to do.

LD45 — Start with nothing

VELOCE by torfi 2019-10-08T16:13:38Z

Awesome game, well done

DAY/ONE by DrunkardWolf 2019-10-10T20:15:07Z

A really nice start to a game, i think the main thing this game needs is a bit more UX and some way to pan the camera round the scene so the player can see whats going on more clearly, but great work none the less

The Song of Calirum by Blizary 2019-10-13T18:56:04Z

Really liked the card game approach, great work mate.

The Lonely Planet by Sam Dower 2019-10-27T13:38:51Z

@jonasz999 hmm that is a weird one. Thanks for flagging it up

Ships, Sharks and Shanties by Grangerer 2019-10-10T20:08:36Z

Awesome game with a brilliant concept and a really complete mood. Well done!

LEGS by moechen 2019-10-10T19:57:16Z

Amazing atmosphere, best I've seen so far

Mullet Man and the Apocalypse by clemonades 2019-10-13T18:53:11Z

nice game mate, well done

Run Dash Go by Etch-light Studios 2019-10-10T20:03:08Z

Very fun little game and the music is awesome, well done!

LD46 — Keep it alive

Keep it alive! by Harry Jacobs 2020-04-21T21:50:47Z

A very nice little game. Loved the music. Great job!

Save Our Ship by Laurari 2020-04-22T12:56:49Z

Cute little game. really enjoyed it, good job!

Quack Runner by Grumpy Wren Games 2020-04-21T21:45:25Z

Great game. I loved the sound effects and the concept was beautifully simple and very very fun. Great work!
