The concept behind this is really great, and a cool take on the theme. I also really loved the art style, and the transition reminds me alot of Cave Story which is awesome.

I will say that the level design could have taken more advantage of the premise, but that's always something which could be explored in a full version!

Overall, really nice game :)

Butler! Summon the Imps! by jummbus 2024-04-16T12:42:30Z ♥ 5

This was a super fun one! Art is really nice and I love the character designs. The cutscenes are also a really nice touch, especially for a jam game! The different art and music for each level also added alot of character, and it's just another touch that could easily have been left out to save time, but wasn't.

Really great work for a 72 hour game!

Devotion - A fairytale by daandruff 2024-04-15T18:21:22Z ♥ 1

The art is really nice (especially love the use of colours) and the audio really helps set the mood. I like the take on the theme, and I appreciated the walkthrough as I got stuck after I put the book down 😅

Really cool game :3

Saviour by Robonaut121 2022-04-17T13:02:38Z ♥ 0

The concept is really cool and fits the theme well. The art style is quite nice but I kept trying to walk on top of ladders since they look like part of the foreground and falling to my death because of that. The movement feels quite hard to control due to how fast everything is, and I found it off-putting that you die the instant you touch the darkness, especially when the camera moves down so quickly when I fall into it. Overall a good entry and with some polish and fleshing out this idea could work really well as a full game. Great entry ^-^

Typing Turmoil by SugarSugarSugar 2022-04-16T19:26:52Z ♥ 1

I always like to try out typing game entries and this was a pretty interesting one. I'm not really sure what the difference is between the different coloured circles, so I just ended up trying to type the characters as fast as possible when they came up. I didn't notice an indicator when I mistyped a character to tell me I couldn't type for a few seconds - perhaps a sound effect, a bit of screen shake and/or a meter/timer that shows how long I can't type for would really help here. An end screen to show my final score would be nice as well. Overall, a solid entry ^-^

Circuits by mira 2022-04-16T19:14:16Z ♥ 1

An interesting concept that fits the theme well! The presentation overall was very well done although the art style is inconsistent at points (particularly the Flappy Bird minigame). Great entry ^-^

Crisis Bot by The Great Gallus 2022-04-16T19:07:01Z ♥ 0

A good concept which fits the theme very well! The art style is very simple but comes together well. I found it very easy to pick up and understand what I was doing without needing to read the instructions on the game page. Well done ^-^

ReactorWrangler by Edmanbosch 2022-04-14T23:08:22Z ♥ 1

Cool idea that fits the theme very well! I will say I found it a bit confusing at points and some of the noises - particularly the sound of creatures in the office which was much louder than the others - got a bit grating, and hearing the explanation everytime I started over got a bit tiresome. Still, great work ^-^

HANG UP! by Jesse J. Jones 2022-04-07T10:28:37Z ♥ 3

I love playing a typing game every now and then, but this one absolutely kills it with the humour and silly tone! I don't think there's ever been a game where you can sell insurance or something to a dog over the phone. Really good entry ^-^

Avoid the Drown by NeneChico 2022-04-05T19:12:54Z ♥ 1

An interesting and fun concept which implements the theme very well. I will say the jump feels quite strange and I found that I can mash jump underwater to jump out of it (although it was inconsistent). Good effort ^-^

Reactor Meltdown (The Simpsons) by AdamJN 2022-04-05T19:05:48Z ♥ 1

A simple concept executed in a really fun and lighthearted way. Makes you wonder how Homer gets through work everyday xD. The only criticism I could think of is it kept making me do the dial turning task back-to-back (I think 4 times in a row at one point) which got a bit annoying. Overall a fun and challenging jam game! Great effort ^-^

Slide Out by TimeTravelHamster 2022-04-04T20:12:53Z ♥ 3

A fun challenge with an interesting mechanic. The art style is cute and the colours go well together. Great effort ^-^

Hydroponica by Cakestorm 2022-04-04T20:02:57Z ♥ 1

Superb visuals, overall mood is chill but the sound effects can be a bit grating at times. It took me some time to understand what was going on, and I think where it succeeds the most is how satisfying it looks when seeds are flying everywhere. Really good effort ^-^

Type n' Jump by Richard N Silva 2018-04-25T15:14:43Z ♥ 2

Great art style! The mechanic is easy to pick up too. I will say the music got repetitive very quickly, but it's really a minor complaint. Good work :D

Shady Cards by Yozamu 2018-04-25T15:02:15Z ♥ 0

The art is really nice, and the UI is well done. It's convenient, and pretty impressive, to see an LD game offer key binding options and the like. The idea is cool, although I found the platforming a bit too fast. A detail I liked was the card throwing attack, which looks really cool and feels nice to hit people with. Good work :D

BREAK // HELL by Incredible Ape 2018-04-24T19:29:20Z ♥ 1

A unique game concept with great execution PLUS sexy graphics and music. I won't be surprised if you make it into the top 10! Brilliant work :D

Crane Quandary by Strato 2018-04-24T08:17:29Z ♥ 1

The graphics are very nice, and the puzzles were quite cool! Nice job :D

Flee, little guinea pig! by tipyx 2018-04-24T08:03:30Z ♥ 1

Nice game, and very original! The guinea pig idea is very fitting too! Great use of the theme. :D

Platform Hero by Rombus 2018-04-23T21:50:36Z ♥ 1

Rhythm games are real sweet! My only criticism would be to add a bit more of a delay before you have to start hitting the notes just for you to get ready quicker. Nice game though :D

Tetriform by magicdidac 2018-04-23T21:36:55Z ♥ 1

Cool idea, and well executed, but the controls are a bit counter-intuitive. I'm used to Tetris games using a generic button like Z to flip the pieces, and down to make the piece drop faster, but in this game it's swapped. Still, good idea, and a relaxing alternative to some of the more hectic games that the jam has to offer. Nicely done 👍

Rapid Bullet-Hell Blitz Chess by Ismael Rodriguez 2018-04-23T20:55:51Z ♥ 1

The chess theme is original, and the graphics are simplistic but punchy. The sounds work very well too! Didn't really get that I was supposed to grab the flashy ones at first, but I figured it out quickly enough. Nice game!

Text Royale: The Ultimate Type or Death Fight by Rob White 2018-04-23T20:22:19Z ♥ 1

Well made, and definitely unlike other Battle Royale games. I did find it difficult to tell what was damaging me at times, and the chat log gets very overwhelming quite quickly. Still, a very good job :D

Type to Win by net3ton 2018-04-23T20:06:39Z ♥ 1

Really nice little game! There's all sorts of interesting mechanics you could do with this. I understand that 48 hours is very little time, but it's a real shame it was so short. Still, nice execution, and a great job overall!

Typographythm by Radnyx 2018-04-23T20:01:11Z ♥ 1

This was awesome. Seriously, my favourite entry so far, and for a compo game, the presentation is fantastic! I struggled a bit at first, but I got the hang of it fast enough. I was actually ready to play more levels after that hand dude, but unfortunately I was denied by the limitations of the Ludum Dare. PLEASE continue this, for the good of man-kind! Brilliant game, dude :D

Tiny Crusader by nilstastic 2018-04-23T19:23:40Z ♥ 1

Really original, cool idea! A bit confusing at first, but once I figured out what I was doing, I picked it up nicely. Lovely graphics and presentation. Overall, a good effort :D

Hyper Beat Engine by hypersnow 2018-04-23T17:52:51Z ♥ 1

Really nice game with a slick, simplistic art style. Nice concept - the beat counter reminds me of Crypt of the Necrodancer (which is a good thing) - although the arrow key boost mechanic threw me off a little bit. The music was fitting, and it was nice to hear multiple tracks across the missions. Great game :D

The Cavern of Bad Ideas by Jani Nykanen 2018-04-23T17:06:31Z ♥ 0

The pixel art is gorgeous, and smaller details like old-school transitions really make this game feel authentic. It's incredibly impressive to see a game like this written in C for a compo entry. Brilliant work :D

TRPG Meets GAMES by ccglp 2018-04-23T16:55:01Z ♥ 1

Cool idea, and it's impressive how many different gameplay styles you implemented. I don't know if you plan on working on this further, there are some little things that could be addressed. For example, most of the minigames wait for user input before starting, but the Space Invaders minigame starts immediately, which threw me off immediately. Good job overall though, and very creative. Great use of the theme too :D

Zlornko Teaches Typing by katie 2018-04-23T16:20:37Z ♥ 1

Pretty tough, and very flashy! Typing games are interesting, but I've never seen one like this before. Great game!

Rythm is Lava by egordorichev 2018-04-23T06:01:42Z ♥ 1

Really nice game for a compo entry, with gorgeous graphics. Sometimes the effects obscure the characters a bit much, but it's not really a big problem. Great effort :D

ZUCCTRON5000 by Pixelh8 2018-04-23T05:50:58Z ♥ 0

A realistic look into the mind of the Z U C C.

In all serious though, it's original and has fitting graphics and sound. Some of the word combinations were pretty funny, too! Good work :D

Famous Knight by Lucas Ferrantelli 2017-12-10T13:29:56Z ♥ 1

Great work for a game made in less than 3 days! The art style was fantastic. It gives off a Rogue Legacy vibe. The idea was really funny too, and its really funny how easily you can lose all your fans to one enemy. The controls felt pretty good, and it was strangely amusing to send your fans flying when you dash into them. One of the best LD40 games I've played so far! Good job :D

Jazzy Beats by Moski 2017-12-08T18:05:35Z ♥ 4

The art style is absolutely fantastic, and the music is great. The idea works really well around the theme of the Dare. It would really benefit from some punchy sound effects for when you hit an enemy, but overall a very polished game and really high quality considering the short time frame. Great job! :D

MEGA by Yetman 2017-12-08T17:58:33Z ♥ 1

Cool interpretation of the theme indeed. The art style has potential. An updated version could benefit from a little bit more variety, such as more enemy types. Not a bad effort overall, though. Good job :D

The Weissman Challenge by CaramelCode 2017-12-05T19:51:07Z ♥ 1

Typing games are quite rare, but can really fun and hectic if done well. This is a great example! With more time and polish this could be a really great game! Probably the most fun LD40 game I've played so far. The humour and technical context really helped this game out too! Great job!

Ni by HolyBlackCat 2017-12-05T18:39:16Z ♥ 1

The presentation is pretty excellent! The graphics and audio really work together to give it a nice atmosphere. The idea is pretty cool, although I found the game to be quite difficult and even frustrating at times. Good effort though, and great work for the short time frame :D

Grooblins! by ahintoflime 2017-12-05T17:56:17Z ♥ 2

WHY IS THERE A CALCULATOR MONSTER OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

Unique concept, and quite an interesting, surreal storyline. A bit too simple, but that's not much of an issue considering its length. Good job overall :)

GLORIOUS INTERNET POINTS by Ale 2017-12-05T17:47:43Z ♥ 1

It's not often that I find myself playing Tycoons (or Tycoon-style games), but this was a fresh experience. Neat idea, with some funny gags and references (i.e. the Navy Seal copypasta). Overall, really good job ;)

Whatever Floats Your Boat by testudor 2017-12-05T17:32:32Z ♥ 3

Awesome idea, and well executed might I add. The graphics were nice and simple too. I did think it became a bit too easy once I figured out how to use the bow, and I think there was also a bug when trying to face a slime that is touching that would prevent you from switching directions. A really good effort though. Good job :)

Toutous by ArnoChux 2017-12-05T17:18:46Z ♥ 1

A nice, simple and clear interpretation of the theme. I also really liked the art style, and the "BRRRIIIING BRRRIIIING" was pretty funny. Good job overall :D
