LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Xermatt Redux by kiririn51 2022-04-07T01:23:30Z

i personally really like this games's vibes in general, it won a lot of points w/ me. the UI, the song, sound effects, the genre and art is really enticing — the atmosphere overall was the reason i decided to play this game but the storyline and gameplay was another bonus that made me stay. my only problem was more towards the constant mention of nsfw topics, which felt more uncomfy instead of funny — like it seemed like it was supposed to be — after the first few times. besides that i really like the dialogues the main character gives out also the sprites, it gives a lot of characterization to her and the same goes for reiko. the humor would make the mood lighthearted but then i would be bought back to what was happening when i saw the danger warning and it would get tense again, was really fun trying to do strategies so i wouldnt trap myself while running from xenos. also i noticed that when u reload the game the rooms changes places in the map and i really liked this aspect as it refrains the player from memorizing and redoing their steps in other tries.

this game is so adorable! simple but it fits well the theme. the graphics are very cute and the gameplay itself is very relaxing. i can see myself casually playing this more times.

🙃 Misaligned AI: The Game 🙂 by OrciFried 2022-04-07T03:14:11Z

i think the concept had a lot of potential but it was very hard to actually hold a conversation w/ the AI as it kept misuderstanding what i said and would make me lose points even when i was being nice, which goes very against the prompt given. it was funny tho the things the AI would say outta nowhere. i think if worked on more so the AI couldve less issues in understanding whats being said, and make the correlation to the "delay the inevitable" theme it could actually be a very nice game as the rest of it (interface, music) is already nice.

even tho its short i really liked the game and it fits the theme well. the soundtrack and art matched the energy of the game and i really liked how the music is ur own, u did a good job on it! the beat drop was so nice and satisfactory. if u ever revisit this project it would be nice having to multitask in the game so u dont win easily by just spamming punches nonstop. great game i had fun!

all the arts were so pretty and added a lot to the atmosphere the way they would appear. the audio also helped a lot to the atmosphere, — when the calm song would harshly cut off, the background noises helping us figure out what was happening — it was great tho kinda repetitive. i really liked the gameplay integrating to the story. everything was so well put together. the dramatic change of pace was so well done, since from the colors — from yellow and orange to green/blue and red tones and going back and forth —, it portrays very well how its to suddenly lose someone. i dont know why but it felt very nostalgic, probably because it really felt like livings someone elses past, so thats very nice that this game was immersive and touched me this way. about glitches: the only thing i found is that if i pressed backspace the screen would go white or black and it would take awhile to go back. i would like to finish by saying: this was so artistically beautiful and devastating, i really loved it. hope to see more of ur guys creations.

the graphics are very pretty and detailed. its nice how this game has multiple minigames, it didnt feel repetitive and replaying it so i could a higher score was very fun; and i really liked how the connecting wires minigame had a colorblind accessibility! for some reason it didnt have any audio playing — as i saw the game actually is supposed to have — but i think it could be because of my browser (im using vivaldi) instead of the settings not working. i saw it occurring w/ my game before too when another person played until they switched the browser. still was a lot of fun nonetheless and fits the theme nicely!

very fun game! i really liked how each level would implement more stuff. the score and dificulty really incentives the player to play this more than once. i thought it was funny how the watering can kept spinning and i still wouldnt lose any water. it fits the theme so well!

i love the UI, it really takes me back to using an old windows system. the ambience is actually so well done, it incorporates very well the feeling of unhelpness and putting all ur efforts into solving sumn unsolvable that comes w/ the delay the inevitable theme — the background, error and video noises also the screen going black and suddenly the desktop's background turning red was what really added to it. the puzzles itself are easy but sometimes i would get lost but that isnt a bad thing, it only made me pay more attention to what i was doing and incentivated me to go back so i could see what exactly i missed instead of just closing the game. the storyline felt very aligned to the theme and the ending was satisfactory even if it wasnt exactly a good ending, it just felt nice to solve all the puzzles.

its so fun to see a lighthearted take to this theme! it was a very different approach compared to others games so its very renewing. i really liked the different tasks and also the commentaries on the fail screen were so funny. the song fits the game very nicely. i loved it!

@fireslash thank u for ur review! the game was initially intended to have a tutorial for the minigames, but as we didnt have time it was delayed for future updates — the same goes for some of the graphics. im glad u enjoyed the game nonetheless!
