Maybe your life isn’t defined on by how good of a game you can make in 48h

Is there a reason why i can’t see all categories in my entry ratings?

Here

There are only:

Where is mood? And audio? I accepted all categories…

Eeewwww… Part of it was probably because my entry was too hard. :/

Go Check Out The Game!

This was my 9th LD, and I will be coming back for my 10th in August!

Anyway, thanks for playing everyone! And thanks for all the positive feedback!

The GameDev Community is the Best! c:

Thank you for all who have played and rated my game.

This was dedicated to my son who will soon be developing with me.

There was not much time for me to devote to the game, but I am very satisfied with the result.

See you next ludumdare.

Thank you to everyone that played, reviewed and left comments/advice for my first LDJAM entry – Mr. Purrgalar! I’ll keep working on it to make it even better. Also a big thank you to the host for getting me off my lazy butt to make a game. What great fun, can’t wait for the next one!

Can’t wait for the next one.

Such a min-maxed result.

Play Shape Shifter (sic) here

What is it about?

Shape Shifter (sic) is a simple shape-matching game where you can shift the flow of your inner energy to defeat creatures. More importantly, it is a game that will change the shape of your expectation about the game itself! (I had quite some fun with the meta description)

Background

My objective for this LD was to learn and practice pixel arting, something I never, ever did before. Not that squares are bad; But hey, the more skillset you have, the better! However, I was stuck during most of the first day, unable to get any idea to work with. Yeah, what do you expect, doing this for the first time. Listen, self. Your drawing is shit and will always be sh- hey, waaaiiiit…. And there goes the idea.

What went wrong?

• I basically had to work with a very simple gameplay and innovation in order to compensate for the (lack of) artsiness.
• The concept itself  only works because it’s an LD entry, but not quite so for an actual game. It leaves no space for future development.

What went right?

• frist gaem w/ homemade pixel artz, omgz0rz!
• For better or worse, the game’s simplicity left it with no glaring weaknesses to criticize on.
• Nothing else.

Thanks for all who have played and rated the game!

Thanks to all players and voters! It was very inspiring LudumDare with many great games!

I did not win but I’m glad for your help.
I thank you guys for your kind feedback.

I’ll keep it up.

Funny: the music was the best part, and it was last-minute.

The graphics were just silhouettes, but it makes sense.

Summary: I had fun. Gotta do better.

The results are in!

Very happy with how things turned out. Didn’t even break the top 1000 last time I submitted, so this is a significant improvement. I believe I could’ve scored higher had the instructions on how to play been clearer, but I am very pleased.

Thank You to all who played, rated and gave me feedback in the comments!

You can play it here                                                                          —–> ^.^ <—–

I know where to see my place, like #376, but this is pretty useless unless i know how many places are made in each categorie. I need something like Audio: #376/#1000 to know if it is a good place or a bad one. Can i look these numbers up somethere?

We have the results! These are ours. We are happy about them, though we are a bit surprised with Graphics rating, but they are good overall so it is nice for us. More to the point, we have learned a lot this jam. Thanks to all the people who tried and voted! Specially thanks to those that left feedback!

I happy with how I did.  I did better that last time.  😀

Congratulations to everyone 😀

Here are the results for our game. We are quite happy about them, because we did better than last year.

Coolness 100%

• So badass 😀

•  We think this entry suits the theme quite well, that’s probably why we got the best score here.

• The only humorous thing in this game is probably the “WRECKED!” sign, associated with GTA V.

• One of the best graphics we have ever done.

• There’s just a simple music loop, but we think it suits in quite ok.

• I don’t know what to say here XD

• May be funny, may be not, that’s for you to decide.

• Our overall score.

#920 Innovation(Jam) 2.55

• Quite a good idea, I think.

Hey!

I didn’t expect to get such a good score the my first ludum dare. I’m so happy!

The votes weren’t as I expected them, but I think that’s normal.

I’m really motivated now, I’ll definitely try to participate for the next ludum dare!

(I’ll spend more time on the graphics next time)

I’ll probably make a post-jam version of this game (since I have nothing better to do). If you think it’s a bad idea you can always say so, but I don’t think it will stop me.

Thanks for everyone that played my game! And good job to all the participants, I hope you’re as high as me!

Pretty satisfied with my results for the amount of time I spent on it 😀 I wonder what they would have been if I entered the compo instead.

That was a weird Jam, I participated in the compo for the first time and made a game that doesn’t fit in the range of games that I like. I learned a lot and got out of my confort zone which is nice.

Here are my ratings and my thoughts

#100    Mood             3.65

• I love this, didn’t thought it would rate this high!

#209    Humor          2.94

• It was a scene of charlie the unicorn, so it was comdemned to be fun, although not a lot of people got it.

#247    Innovation    3.49

• It was innovative for me at least, but this score is great!

#518    Overall           3.16

• I think the overall went down because the lack of audio and graphics.

#591    Audio             2.13

• There was no audio, i’ll take note for the next jam!

#684    Fun                2.81

• I don’t have any problem with this score, I personally don’t like this type of games, but at least it was fun making it!

#747    Theme           2.88

• I think that a lot of people didn’t see the shapeshifting map.

#754    Graphics       2.47

• Like in the audio, there where no graphics, let’s pray for more time in the next Ludumdare!
