| Aug 23 03:21:00 | ZombieRobotAlienpocalypse Escape | Humorous, but kind of repetitive. Quite good for < 6 hours, though :) | |
| Aug 23 03:31:00 | 10m 00s | Escape!! | I haven't played a game quite like this one before :) |
| Aug 23 03:35:00 | 4m 00s | Ninja Princess | Couldn't figure out how to play this one. The princess would jump, just not high enough to avoid anything. Original concept, though! :) |
| Aug 23 03:47:00 | 12m 00s | Bubba's Escape | Congratulations on a great game! It took me a little while to realize I could move the red objects (presumably dynamite) to blow up blocks, but once I did realize this, I couldn't stop playing! |
| Aug 23 03:58:00 | 11m 00s | You Don't Fit | Pretty fun game with unique gameplay, but really nice work on Drumcircle! :) |
| Aug 23 04:10:00 | 12m 00s | A memory | Great job on the graphics, they are amazing for a 48-hour game! I would have prefered fewer ads/less wait time for the download, though :) |
| Aug 23 04:17:00 | 7m 00s | Another Escape From Self Replicating Bugs 2 | I wasn't able to get this game to start. According to the log file, the game started, but I never saw a window pop up. There appeared to be some window when I hover over the icon on the taskbar, but I couldn't get the window to actually be visible on my desktop. |
| Aug 27 01:25:00 | 93h 08m | Lost In the Shadows | The graphics and sound are great--especially considering this was done in 48 hours! The gameplay is moderately fun, but I feel like I couldn't realy come up with a compelling strategy. My only other criticism is that the controls felt very sluggish on my machine (it felt like there was a half-second delay between a key press and something actually happening). <br/> <br/>On the whole though, very impressive. You should be proud! |
| Aug 27 01:32:00 | 7m 00s | Foxtrot | I thought the fox graphic was pretty good and there's definitely potential here. The main problem (as someone else pointed out) is that you can't avoid the traps because they're invisible. While playing, it just feels kind of like random chance because of this. Consider making the traps visible but well hidden. <br/> <br/>There also appeared to be a bug where after I ransacked all 3 coups and then died, after restarting the game thought that I had won (hooray?) :) <br/> <br/>Nice effort given the time constraints. Keep at it! |
| Aug 27 02:23:00 | 51m 00s | SUBJECT:7 | This is the best entry I've played so far, congratulations! It was challenging, a little tricky, but still easy to grasp. <br/> <br/>(Possible SPOILER) My only suggestion would be to make a certain item change your appearance (so that its effect is easy to predict). |
| Aug 27 02:27:00 | 4m 00s | Need For Code : Escape | Promising, but it looks like there was quite a bit of work left. Definitely run with this, though, it's a great start! <br/> <br/>PS: I liked the controls as well, though they did take some getting used to and were not very realistic :) |
| Aug 27 02:30:00 | 3m 00s | Sunrise | I just get an "illegal" address when I try and run the application. Please add more information on what is needed to play this so that others can give it a try :) |
| Aug 27 02:34:00 | 4m 00s | Flashlight Runner | Pretty simple and fun concept. I'll echo other comments and say that the difficulty progression was backwards (the first jump was the hardest) and that seeing my previous runs though made it so confusing I had to reload the page. <br/> <br/>Very clever, regardless. |
| Aug 27 02:41:00 | 7m 00s | Escape from Strong Castle | Very impressive RPG engine for a 48-hour competition, but holding escape whenever going into a battle wasn't the most fun, unfortunately. <br/> <br/>My suggestion is to take the RPG engine and go make something bigger and better :) |
| Aug 27 02:51:00 | 10m 00s | Caved In | There's quite a bit to this game and all the gameplay elements work pretty nicely together. This is definitely one of the best I've played so far. <br/> <br/>One bug: Not sure how I got into this state, but at one point I couldn't move. I could dig out the walls around me and put down walls, but I couldn't move out of the space I was one. <br/> <br/>On the whole, you've done an excellent job! |
| Aug 27 03:10:00 | 19m 00s | The Great Volcano Escape | Maybe not the most original, but this was really fun to play. <br/> <br/>Did anyone else find themselves trying to see how many flips they could do while still beating levels successfully? <br/> <br/>One bug I hit was that after beating one level and losing quickly on the next, the "safe, for now" message never went away (and it never said I lost). <br/> <br/>Totally fell right down a pit once. I'm going back to play more now... |
| Aug 27 04:42:00 | 1h 32m | The ESCape | Interesting and pretty fun concept. The map-changing mechanic was new to me. |
| Aug 27 04:49:00 | 7m 00s | Lava Tsunami of Doom | Pretty fun little platformer and very theme-appropriate. Nice work! <br/> <br/>FYI: This didn't work in IE9 for me (but did work in Chrome). |
| Aug 27 04:56:00 | 7m 00s | It Burns! | I liked the music and the sound effects showed promise as well, but I just couldn't figure out how to play this one without reading the comments. I think with some additional polish (better introduction to controls, etc.) this could be a good game. |
| Aug 27 05:01:00 | 5m 00s | Where am I? | Great music and surprisingly addictive given how simple it is. <br/> <br/>My main complaints were the unskippable intro (esp. the second time through) and the fact that I could run way off the screen and not know what was going on. <br/> <br/>Overall, though, a solid effort. Great job! |
| Aug 27 15:12:00 | 10h 11m | Prison Break | Very impressive animations (and graphics in general) for being done in one weekend! <br/> <br/>It was a little frustrating that once a knife was in the air, there didn't seem to be much you could do to avoid it (though it's possible I missed something). <br/> <br/>Thanks for a great game! |
| Aug 27 15:18:00 | 6m 00s | Ambrose leaves | Good music and graphics, but I'm not sure about what I was trying to accomplish. I colelcted bricks and light, but I'm not sure what to do with them. <br/> <br/>Great effort, though! |
| Aug 28 15:48:00 | 24h 30m | Abstraball | I think this game is a great exploration of what kind of gameplay is possible in this style. Better graphics would help tremendously, but in 48 hours you have to prioritize, and I think you focused on the right things. This concept is definitely worth pursuing further. |
| Aug 28 15:57:00 | 9m 00s | When I Was Human | Very simple, but very fun. As others noted, the difficulty varies quite a bit and it seems like once you fall in a pit, there's little hope of recovering. The music is very fitting. Great job! |
| Aug 28 21:12:00 | 5h 15m | The Wave | Interesting gameplay and very appropriate music, but I had trouble with the Windows build crashing (heap corruption). |
| Sep 2 04:25:00 | 103h 13m | Virtual School 2 | Great graphics and good atmosphere, but I didn't realy figure out how to do anything other than get ending 1/3. |
| Sep 2 04:31:00 | 6m 00s | Not the Sharpest Sword in the Box | Super simple and super awesome! My only complaints are that this doesn't fit the theme very well and the high scores list is kind of confusing ("month" only has one entry, but "day" has several...). Great job! |
| Sep 2 04:37:00 | 6m 00s | Right 31 | I like the idea and graphics, but I found the controls a little bit frustrating (e.g. the wrong block would be picked up, or a thrown block would "stick" to others instead of squishing a bug). |
| Sep 2 04:47:00 | 10m 00s | Mission: Earth Escape | Very interesting. One of my original ideas for this contest was tentatively called "Escape from Earth" and was somewhat similar to this :) <br/> <br/>Flying around the planets was pretty fun, but I thought it was a little confusing how you're supposed to "end" your missions (having ESC say "Mission accomplished!" was the most confusing). Great idea, though! |
| Sep 2 04:55:00 | 8m 00s | Abigail's Descent | Not the most original gameplay, but well executed and presented. I found running and then jumping to be a little frustrating (it seemed like I'd fall instead of jump frequently). Great graphics, dialog, and music! |
