LD32 — An Unconventional Weapon

Transmogrify! by Icelus 2015-04-22T17:52:00

Well designed, intuitive, fun, all the great things. Good job.

Cassette by Noah Ratcliff 2015-04-23T22:16:00

Great game! Loved it! Actually finished it!

bloodshot by rogueNoodle 2015-04-21T01:07:00

Great game! Runs smoothly and it's quite fun and engaging.
I'll point out what is good and what is bad in my opinion:
Good:
- two types of enemies, well different one from the other.
- Clear interface, points towards objective straight and clear.
- The mechanic is clever, i like having to micromanage.

Bad:
-It's still a gun. It uses blood ammo, but i feel like it's just another rifle.
-It's not clear if killing aliens has any impact. You might have wanted to put win conditions clear on the screen, if there's any.
- Really aseptic. It has no kind of personification, no immersion at all.

Overall i really liked your game although i don't feel it is really on spot with the theme of the contest.
Overall I rated it 3/5 because of the entertainment value and the smoothness.

Weapon Quest: Where's my weapon? by XtremePrime 2015-04-21T01:44:00

Well what can i say. It's rather weird, seems too zoomed. It is really unclear on how to actually play it without dropping life super fast.
I don't really know.
I like the fact of the misused weapon though, it really fits in the unconventional weapon theme.

3/5 because of the theme on spot.

Speechless by MonoS 2015-04-22T18:41:00

Could have been much more clear. I come from a long and heavy background of MUD gaming and i was instantly excited about it. It's improveable. I loved the unidentified words. It just needed much more clear commands.

Fatal Traction by NegaByte 2015-04-22T20:49:00

Good game. Sticking controls to arrows + spacebar + mouse was a little wonky. Good take on the theme nonetheless and captivating contrast between the nice greyscale and the bright neon tractor beams. Nice!

Daunting Disorientation by Ronin748 2015-05-01T15:34:00

Great game. I couldn't find the cabin for the life of me so i ran out of oil. PRobably not so clear on how to find it. Anyway. Great.

RCCAT - Radio Controlled Cat by PinkIndian 2015-04-24T20:40:00

Great idea, fun and challenging! Wow!

Genemon by Pietro Ferrantelli 2015-04-24T22:15:00

Just perfect, what can i say.

Limb by Limb by AdamW 2015-04-23T00:35:00

hahahaha! Oh my god it cracked me up! Great game!

Light of the Living Dead by careless 2015-04-22T18:55:00

Great game. Spot on and in place with the theme. Good job.

A Knife Made Of Whispers by managore 2015-04-22T21:24:00

Really great game but i don't see how it fits with the theme. It's a knife by your statement. Even if it's powered by soul lantern it remains a knife. Awesome graphics, feel and overall mechanics. Really polished.
4/5

THUMP by Steffan 'Ruirize' James 2015-04-23T22:23:00

I like the idea but it seems that it's quite random to get the guys in the killzones. probably would have been better to have more control over it. Good job anyway!

A Bug's Death by Coomzy 2015-04-22T21:04:00

Could not find bugs. I probably missed something :<

An Unconventional Error by Joe Lawrence 2015-04-22T17:29:00

Oh my it blown me away. Hah. Bomb joke. 5/5 because it was super appropriate. Simple yet captivating. Good job!

Go Hard or Go Home by Humbleness 2015-04-23T22:29:00

Can you upload it somewhere like googledrive or dropbox? It's easier to get through.

Bard! by StrayByte 2015-04-22T18:46:00

@binarycoder: We fell short on the programming, came out a bit shoddy :<

Bard! by StrayByte 2015-04-23T21:04:00

Thanks for all the great feedback! We're working into improving the game as we want to actually make a full fledged, sellable game. Thanks!

Bard! by StrayByte 2015-04-25T14:59:00

Hah You're welcome Robot :p
Thanks for all the feedbacks!

Tongue Lash by benjamck 2015-04-21T01:38:00

Alright. This is real nightmare fuel. I see there's a nice twisted thought about it.
I just don't like this weirdish-nightmarish setting, it freaks me out. I also don't really understandy what's the unconventional weapon... A log? A.. blackjack?

3/5 because of the strange game and innovative gameplay.

The Rock the Paper and the Scissors by BIZM 2015-04-24T17:53:00

What can i say. Best game ever. Everything is in place.

Aqua Marine by Bashabookoos 2015-04-22T20:33:00

Overall a great fun game. A real classic! I like the bubble take on classic weapons. Loved the big black fishes and the screen rumble, good job!

X-11 "Gust Gunner" by cowboycolor 2015-04-21T01:32:00

Alright, maybe a tad too fast.
I liked the catchy bgm, the sound effect of the blower. Other than that felt like a strange super meat boy on steroids.
It is in line with the theme of the Jam for sure even if i expected to be able to deflect projectiles with the wind. And if it was already possible everything was too quick and twitchy to even notice.

it's a 2/5 overall for me.

Sun Slayer by dvdfu 2015-04-23T00:09:00

Oh i loved it. Plain genius. Humor at the right place, theme interpretation was perfect. 5/5!

Dick Cannon: Police Investigator by ApocoNypse 2015-04-21T01:15:00

Liked the take on the punchline of dick cannon without ever saying that his dick is the weapon.
It's funny and has a nice tone to it all. I'll go with good and bad:

good:
- AS i said, funny intro, the black megadick that shoots white bullets is... well.. unconventional!
- Sprites are well done, scenary is sharp and has no major flaws i can see.

bad:

- Totally classic game. i see it has no wish to be groundbreaking and it is not
- controls on doors could have been a tad more intuitive and precise.

3/5 overall

Ghost Socker by RafaCP 2015-04-24T00:42:00

Cute and fun idea :D

Hipster Heroes by theflocks 2015-04-22T18:58:00

Pretty good game overall. Fun, entertaining and theme is well interpreted. Good job

Boneventure by Ellian 2015-04-24T22:00:00

Perfect game. I am speechless on how you made all this in 48 hours.
