i am a writer by mmisspelling 2021-10-06T22:42:17Z ♥ 1

I really liked the atmosphere and some of the phrases and bits were genuinely really cool. The videos were great and i wish there were more of them, I also wish the story went a bit more somewhere, unless I missed the point :P

As others have pointed out maybe allowing 1 or 2 letter mistakes would've been great but overall good job and really nice ambiance! I wish the typing effect didn't clip as at the end it became a bit annoying.

Nice game! Given the time you put into mine I had to return the favor so I got to 120 points! At first it seemed really hard but once I got the hang of it it became kinda easy. It's fun to spam the buttons and the side views help indeed! Graphics are polished and the music is fine. Would've loved some more variety, at least in the level design. Good job!

Unstable States by ELBIDEV 2021-10-06T18:15:34Z ♥ 1

As others have stated it was a bit difficult to understand how to play. Is the ball the only form that can kill enemies? What am I supposed to do with the other forms? Is there a way to change them? Do I die?

Some music would've been also nice. What I really love though is the art style, the color palette is fantastic and the design of the enemies is also nice. Same goes for the UI (which is a bit obscure but moody!)

Planet LD48B by Outfrost 2021-04-27T22:36:27Z ♥ 1

Cool concept! The art was great and the exploration part was cool, even if I wished the map were less empty. I love the idea of enemies blocking your exploration with you having to come back at a later time. The music also was pleasant and I didn't find any bugs, which makes it a solid entry!

I found it a bit confusing at first and a map would've probably helped as the environments are very similar. Also for a moment I was confused as to why the character was attacking with his handkerchief haha :P

Aleph Qoph / Duat by ancient-pixel 2021-04-27T18:04:51Z ♥ 1

Thanks for the game! The multiplayer aspect of it was cool. I played for 10 minutes and as others have said have found it rather empty, while inspiring. Amazing atmosphere and good job on the 3D engine, even if it's wonky it's still a lot of work I'm sure.

Decisive Maneuver by bernard-bumblebutt 2021-04-27T16:46:51Z ♥ 1

Cool idea and the difficulty scales very nicely, feels very polished and I got to second place :)

I love the fact that you see sonar charges on the submarine

How Low Can you Go by SaeedPrez 2021-04-27T16:41:19Z ♥ 0

Nice little game, it certainly is polished and the models are nice. Some more variation would've been neat as well as a difficulty ramp up, it's pretty easy as of now :P

​Nyctophobia by TheJohnyFeeD 2021-04-27T13:37:43Z ♥ 1

The game is great. The interactions with the NPCs were probaly the best part, as well as the details and the mood. The gameplay loop is nothing special nor innovative but it works, and the amount of content is also incredibile. Good job :)

Blackout by Frasse 2021-04-27T12:37:06Z ♥ 8

Awesome game, awesome graphics. Very reminescent of Lucasart games. I enjoyed the humour, the art and the music + the twist at the end, very very cool!

Mariana's Trench by mmisspelling 2021-04-27T00:17:23Z ♥ 1

Thanks for making it! I had fun playing it and I really enjoyed the artstyle. The animations were a bit wonky and the sprites could've been a bit more crisp but for being your first Ludum Dare this is really well done! :)

Tree Tender LD46 by AmbaDev 2020-04-30T14:26:57Z ♥ 0

Heya! Played it on stream (twitch.tv/thevinter) so you can check the vod. Cute game, hitboxes feel a bit weird also the shooting is not very easy to use and direct at the enemies. Also would try to balance it a bit more, but overall nice job!

Pumpkin Keeper by gurkenlabs 2020-04-30T14:17:12Z ♥ 1

Great game! Some suggestions: add more variety to the gameplay loop: for example gates or different types of enemies, but I can really see this turning into a full game.

Manifest Destiny by SaltFactory Studio 2020-04-30T13:48:18Z ♥ 1

Played it on stream, you can find the vod on twitch.tv/thevinter. I had fun and the game was balanced! I would fix the camera and change the shooting mechanics since they felt weird.

Cadavour by cvetk0 2020-04-30T13:37:25Z ♥ 2

Played your game on stream, cool idea but I'm not sure how much gameplay depth it adds. Game felt a bit easy, but overall it was polished and I had fun. Is probably a bit repetitive in the long run, maybe you could add different power ups tied with the body parts!

The Lightwielder - Ludum Dare 46 by 1StepCloser 2020-04-23T09:30:22Z ♥ 1

The art and the mood are awesome! Really loved them, the gameplay was fun but kinda weird as I didn't really understand if I was actually damaging the black enemies. As others pointed out I was lost most of the time so some guidance would be awesome. Other than that I like the concept of light dimming out (we made the same in our game haha) and it feels satisfying to regain back the health and the light. Cool small game, would love to see something more with the same aesthetic!

Goldsmith by Nocity 2020-04-22T16:09:12Z ♥ 1

Hey, thanks for making the game! I'm really sorry I couldn't get to play it on stream, having some issues with my PC right now, but the game is a really cool idea. Couldn't reach the secret ending but the art and the mechanics make it for a simple but simple and nice looking game :)

LD45 - Cards of Creation by Starblast 2019-10-08T18:29:13Z ♥ 1

Would be cool for it to be more strategical so your choices really have an impact on the game. But rn it's really fun just to watch the stuff happen. Good job!

The Reader's Encounter by xlomid 2019-10-08T12:24:08Z ♥ 1

Great idea for a game, got stuck on a few of them (mainly the first one since honing isn't a commond word for non-native speakers). Overall it works really great and the story is nicely written. I'd love to see the visuals fit the story tho, would be great!

Enjoy!

PATH, a game of life by Ekilibr 2019-05-03T23:07:33Z ♥ 2

Just one more thing that I forgot to mention. I think that the time fading even if the player isn't doing anything is a bit too harsh. I'm not sure it's a great mechanic. I think that if the player consumed slots only by interacting with stuff then the game would be better!

Other than that, you already know everything that I think. Great game :)

ｉｎｖｅｒｔｅｂｒａｅ by jjjjason 2019-05-01T18:47:13Z ♥ 1

I actually noticed that I never played your game and wew, I had a blast.

Not because of the game itself but because of the mood. I mean, there's no much gameplay but the writing and the music were exceptional. I think there's a fine line that divides pretentious with artistic and this is right on the artistic side, and I really love works like this.

thanks for taking time ;)

P.S: There's a bug. Opening your cat doesn't work 🤔

The Last Dragon by FlyingKiwi 2019-04-30T19:55:55Z ♥ 2

The delay and the jump time are a bit too big, and the witch is a bit too fast. Imho you should be able to endlessly survive if you're good enough, and this doesn't look the case.

The visuals are very nice tho!

(Not really fitting the teme btw :P)

Catiro by Riftpoint Entertainment 2019-04-30T19:52:07Z ♥ 3

Great game, but I found that the parryable attacks were too few to progress at a steady pace.

Moneyons! by Maytch 2019-04-30T19:12:22Z ♥ 0

Tried playing it but I couldn't even past the first screen because it wouldn't let me move :(

Controls were bugged for some reason and even the game took long to start

Ollo's Life by Memel06 2019-04-30T16:56:20Z ♥ 1

Nice game, and congratz for the Compo! As others have said puzzles seemed a bit out of place, and the controls were a bit iffy and not always responsive (but I understand the limitations).

Graphics and music were great as well, and the story was cute.

Also the lifes weren't really treated like a currency but I mean, the theme wasn't that great so who cares :P

Xochipilli's Trade by Giezi 2019-04-30T11:14:02Z ♥ 2

The visuals are great and the player controller is smooth. Some of the jumps are kinda hard and the randomly generated levels not always on point.

Also wasn't really sure what the sacrifices were doing, but the game looks and feels great.

PS: It's very hard to hit the boss without dying in the lava

Slash Rush by Delhaize 2018-12-04T13:25:44Z ♥ 2

Well put together, but I don't understand why i have to redo all the levels if I die. (also why should I lower my shuriken numbers?)

Sven by Donitz 2018-12-04T12:33:02Z ♥ 3

The art was amazing and I really loved the style. My only problem with it is that the boss was too hard. Not sure if I was doing something wrong but couldn't beat it :(

Rainbow Cats by Niarkou 2018-12-04T10:44:25Z ♥ 2

Nice! Loved the retro style, the music and the visuals. Very simple yet effective gameplay. Good job ^^

No Brakes on the Train of Life by squaredev 2018-12-04T10:40:05Z ♥ 1

Very cool graphics! The music is good as well. I like the concept and the simple but good idea behind it. I played until the knot level, then it became a bit too confusing, but overall great game!

Coming Home by Robin49 2018-12-04T10:33:24Z ♥ 2

A lot of guesswork is needed to progress and I couldn't go past the first screen. Also there's no reset button!

The webGL link isn't working!

The Devil's Grind by Hakita 2018-12-04T10:07:21Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Would be cool to have some feedback on the menu’s buttons. Also sometimes it’s not really clear what the villagers are going to give you. (Why did I lost health sometimes??)

Blob buster by Ola 2018-12-04T10:06:02Z ♥ 0

Visuals are great, the controls were very frustrating. Would've been cool if you shot in the direction of the cursor rather than forward. Also the environment isn't used at all, maybe do something with it in the next levels (?). Also way too easy :P

Forgotten Heritage by ded 2018-12-04T09:58:15Z ♥ 0

Wasn't clear at first what the goal was so I didn't find the hand immediately. The mood of the game was cool as well as the sound effects. When I died there wasn't a way to restart the game.
