Dec 19 17:01:00 Project ALONE - text to small, have problems reading it :) <br/>- minimalistic and interesting visual presentation <br/>- gravitation part makes fun: perhaps a game based on this would be nice <br/>- strange characters and ending xD <br/>- there should be competition/obstacles
Dec 19 17:30:00 29m 00s Deserted I played it, funny idea and puzzles... perhaps more types of puzzles to solve with the crate would be nice.
Dec 19 17:47:00 17m 00s Subconsciously Alone how you said, it's very difficult... you run for your live and you hope that there won't be a passage where you must draw a box to pass it xD
Dec 19 18:00:00 13m 00s Abandoned Was fun to play. Good job!
Dec 19 21:40:00 3h 40m Last breath A very special game, wonderful graphical style, good music and dense atmosphere. Sadly to difficult for me to get all balls... and I jumped over a rock and then I fell endless :)
Dec 19 21:50:00 10m 00s Circle What an immersion, cool way to cope with the theme. Make more of this!
Dec 19 22:17:00 27m 00s Village Bastard Interesting interpretation of the theme and plausible puzzles. You should create an ending-screen after the chess-guy leaves the village :)
Dec 20 22:15:00 23h 58m Hubris act 3, level 2 "automation" is buggy, i start somewhere and get always the orange hurting screen. but nice audio and solid graphical design. the controls are smooth. i found, the levels are a bit to small and there should be more gameplay elements.
Dec 20 22:28:00 13m 00s A Puzzling Loneliness Don't talk about suckiness, it is solid. Problematic are, like the other told, the not intuitive controls and things like falling out of map :)
Dec 30 20:44:00 238h 16m Not Alone windows 64 bit version tested. nice visual style... changing the controls is confusing and more competition would be better
Dec 30 20:51:00 7m 00s ZED Survivor I have windows 7 64 bit and loaded/started the jar. the game displays the main menu and I can read the "story" (xD) and the controls. trying to start the game leads to a gray screen and nothing happens... same thing as others told
Dec 30 21:00:00 9m 00s lonely robot enjoyed the game and the smooth controls... and the funny ending. nice job.
Dec 31 14:59:00 17h 59m Neukoelln Nights Nice graphics and audio, but where is the competition? "At the corner of eisenbahnstraße and sackgasse"... made my day :D <br/> <br/>after the the "party machine" said, the emo in the kitchen starring at her, firefox shuts down ("Firefox hat ein Problem festgestellt etc.pp")
Dec 31 15:07:00 8m 00s Lone Survivor I defeated 78 enemies and then no new enemies spawned... the arrows are to powerful... you can spray them and no enemy has a chance to get you :)
Jan 6 22:58:00 151h 51m Void Great atmosphere, smooth controls/physics and a lot of levels for a 48 hour entry :)
Jan 7 18:51:00 19h 53m Aloneman It's sad that I can't move while I am in air (or it is buggy)... music and graphics are well done for the retro style but the controls... grr... :)
Jan 7 18:58:00 7m 00s The Lonely Sphincter I want to cite the people above to express my feelings playing this game: <br/> <br/>"nom nom nom!!" <br/>"Nomnomnomnom." <br/>"om nom nom nom" <br/> <br/>Very fun :)
Jan 7 19:08:00 10m 00s A Life Apart Impressive atmosphere and fun to play. <br/> <br/>Two bugs: If you hold the run-key while screenswitching, you can't run anymore until you release the run-key. The other thing: after screenswitching, there are sometimes graphical effects of the past screen shown on the new one.
Jan 8 16:37:00 21h 29m People Hi! <br/> <br/>- Setup a list of rectangles where the player can't move instead of rectangles where he can move. <br/>- Use the intersect()-method to check, if the player wants to move in a collision-rectangle. <br/>- If he wants to move, set a temporary variable with the wanted position, check if there is no collision and then set the <br/>player's real position to that (you did this right ^^) <br/>- Every trial of moving you can check the player-rectangle against all collision rectangles: this method is okay and for <br/>a 48 hour game there is no need to implement intelligent collision checking until the simplest way has a bad performance <br/>or doesn't feel right. <br/>- Now, you can add collision boxes for the table and other things. <br/>- If you want to implement the interaction, you can setup a second rectangle for these objects which is bigger than <br/>the collision rectangle. If the player intersects with it, there is a interaction possible with space-key (you did this <br/>with a contains()-method, what is okay too). <br/> <br/>Efficient collision checking is an interesting research field :) there are a lot of methods to do these checks in a efficient way. <br/>If you want to go on for the next ludum dare, try to implement a line intersection check so you can let the player colliding with <br/>a polygon. <br/> <br/>And really important: Try to use the simplest way instead of wasting time for heavyweight collision checking algorithms.
