Defense 2160 BC by TheMonsterFromTheDeep 2017-12-28T10:22:58Z ♥ 1

Fun little game with a very unique concept of enemies gaining your abilities whenever they destroy a tower, which is very difficult to balance for gameplay indeed.

At first I kept losing but once I figured out the dominant strategy of using arrows and cannons, I soon had a screen full of cannons and lots of money which seems pretty much invincible so I didn't bother to wait for all the 34 waves to pass.

It would be interesting to see how such mechanics of power escalation can be tweaked and maintained for longer term play, instead of spiraling toward either certain defeat or certain victory like the current state of the game.

Nice work! ^^

Great effort and an ambitious scope for Ludum Dare! Glitches, bugs and annoying birds aside it's actually quite enjoyable once you get down to navigating the interesting level design to find the eggs. I only found 6 eggs then an invisible bird killed me. If you continue to polish the game, you may well have a golden egg in the making ^^

Good effort and a funny head slide ^^

How about adding an extended jump or double jump to reach the higher platforms?

This game matches the theme perfectly and is the most original idea I've played so far. And it's a load of fun with great visuals and audio design too. Genius!

Nice and smooth game which almost reminded me of Wipeout ^^ Sometimes the random obstacles are quite impossible to navigate. Either the ship could use a better handling (faster turns) or the obstacles should be spaced apart more to allow time for the ship to avoid them. Good effort!

I love how you are able to create the kind of oppressive atmosphere and immersive setting with such simple minimalist graphics and impactful audio. The timings required to complete the levels are extremely stringent but I suppose that could be part of setting the tone for the game scenario. Great work!

Do check out my game and I'd love to hear your comments: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/riskreward Thanks! ^^

Loot Grabber by AndreB 2017-12-15T12:41:21Z ♥ 2

A very fun twin stick shooter with good intensity and pacing. I enjoyed beating the 3 levels. The music adds to the excitement too, though I wish there were sound fx. I love the minimalist look with soft shadows. Good job!

Do try my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/riskreward and let me know what your think. Thanks! ^^

Nice work! I enjoyed the light puzzle though the controls seem a bit sticky. The music and audio is of high quality and fits the mood very well. How do you create such quality audio?

Short and sweet game, with nice level design! The camera zooming out to fit the level actually makes the game easier for me ^^

Touchy controls aside, the game has great potential. The pixel art is very nicely done, and the ambient audio has the appropriate mood. Very promising for developing further!

Fun game with extremely well polished visuals! If I have any complaints, it would be that super widescreen aspect ratio looks cinematic but blocks vision when playing.

Love the pixel art and game concept!

Desert Express by TerraPass 2017-12-08T02:21:40Z ♥ 1

I had a blast playing this simple but addictive game. It would nice to allow full screen mode to minimize clicking outside the window, because the action gets intense real fast. Excellent work!

Very original! This can become a great mobile app ^^

Captain Capsize by Lance Krasniqi 2017-12-07T15:32:30Z ♥ 0

I agree with the general opinions here that the presentation, graphics, music, design are all very fantastic. But I find the picking up of items very glitchy (playing with mouse on the WebGL version).

I'm ok with the physics based controls and moving the canon around to steer the ship, but when I tried to pick up items in the environment, they just move horizontally along the surface of the sea and then disappear under the ship when I try to drag it onto the cannon. Once in a while, I manage to get it to load and fire from the cannon, but not consistent enough for smooth playing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the hand icon doesn't explain much.

This game feels so close to a commercial level of quality on almost every aspect, I just wish the controls are more accessible and intuitive.

Bum Bag Bangin' by DuzzOnDrums 2017-12-07T14:56:02Z ♥ 2

The awesome art style and hypnotic music with matching sound effects makes the game strangely addictive for a while ^^

City Mayhem by Simon Rahnasto 2017-12-07T14:32:32Z ♥ 1

This game is great fun with amazing cartoony style! My only gripe is that it doesn't play fullscreen, so sometimes when I accidentally go outside the window boundaries the game gets disrupted.

For Better or For Worse by valandre 2017-12-07T14:22:20Z ♥ 1

Everything from the art style to the music is fantastically polished! Not sure what those shadow people are supposed to represent, but they are effective as challenging gameplay obstacles. Awesome overall!

Komainu by pi mont 2017-12-07T05:14:39Z ♥ 1

Nice artwork and great mood for an action shooter!

The title logo is awesome and the character looks badass holding a sword.

At times, it seems I am unable to fire my shurikens. Also, I find the sword rather cumbersome to use. It would be nice if it could be mapped to the right mouse button instead of space bar.

I killed all the enemies in the level and don't know what to do next LOL

Good effort overall!

Winter Sleep by cenullum 2017-12-06T14:27:18Z ♥ 1

Fun game. The visual style is great, particularly with the shadows. I would nitpick that the perimeter trees are too neatly arranged, staggering them would look more consistent as well as help to close off the play area more visually.

At first I didn't think the music fits but it grows on you. Gameplay wise, it can be difficult to gauge where the collision boundaries are. Also, due to the false perspective horizontal movement is visually faster than vertical movement, which takes a bit of getting used to.

The sense of humor is awesome ^^

Hunt Together by Gao Ming 2017-12-06T06:15:39Z ♥ 1

Great work! A refreshing game concept, enjoyable smooth gameplay, cute character with a humorous story, and a very professional level of polish.

Also, I'd buy your Candleman game if I had an Xbox One ^^

Bleak by botreats 2017-12-05T15:05:35Z ♥ 0

Art and mood is intriguing and gameplay pacing is exciting. However, the shooting direction seems to be offset from the crosshair, the music is way too loud and getting stuck for no reason is not fun.

The Darkest Light by zblah 2017-12-05T14:43:18Z ♥ 3

Nice art and great music! The mood of the lighting and environment textures are very well integrated. Would be great if the character and ghosts were animated also.
