| Dec 20 02:24:00 | Friendship Snake | This is pretty good. I got a score of 58 in the end. Not very connected to the theme, I think, but the game entertained me for a while. With a little polish, it could really turn into something. | |
| Dec 20 02:30:00 | 6m 00s | Bunker | The mood was quite good and the game fit the theme well- the bunker did feel pretty lonely. I liked the graphics, especially the walkcycle, although the rest seemed bland and lazy in comparision. The gameplay of navigating through a maze and avoiding spinners didn't hold me for very long, though- it swung easily between frustrating and boring. |
| Dec 20 02:38:00 | 8m 00s | Screaming | This was interesting. I was unsure who the voice at the bottom was, but I found it interesting how the zombies (?) would mimic what you said. Very creepy, good atmosphere. It also felt kind of lonely, despite the others roaming about. I gave up after just trying to talk to the zombies and the disembodied voice- I don't know if there even was anything else to the game. |
| Dec 20 02:48:00 | 10m 00s | There Can Only Be Static | Hm. Very good. The graphics, though simple, fit the style well. The lines of code in the background were a nice touch. I also really liked the way that you made otherwise mundane abilities interesting by wrapping them in a context of programming. I don't feel it focused on the 'alone' theme, though. The music was fitting. |
| Dec 20 02:51:00 | 3m 00s | The Great Bordom | Well this is... interesting. <br/>I don't feel you tried very hard with this. The collision is terrible, the jump sound is annoying, there's no challenge to the level design, it's short, and it's just not very fun. Also, did you do the graphics in mspaint or what? |
| Dec 20 02:57:00 | 6m 00s | TREPANG | Congratulations on creating your first game. The idea of shooting organs is kind of funny, so I'll give you points for that. However, the game isn't very fun- the level design is bland and without direction, the music is grating, and it barely fits with the theme. Excuse the harshness. <br/>I hope you have better luck with your next game. |
| Dec 20 03:03:00 | 6m 00s | Spawn | Good game! The graphics are very cute, they're probably my favourite part. The interesting creatures kept me going, but it would be interesting if there was some more variety- I'm not sure in what form, but some threat would be interesting. The sea didn't feel very lonely because I was constantly creating new friends, though. But I get the idea of alleviating loneliness by creating friends. The audio was nice and relaxing, but I think the hitboxes on the dots should be bigger- it was sometimes frustrating eating them. |
| Dec 20 03:34:00 | 31m 00s | Descension | The game has good graphics- though it's been done to death, I think you pulled off the voxel feel pretty well. However, aside from that, there's not much to it- the game doesn't feel fast-paced or frantic, which would make sense in a shooter like this. There was no variety in the enemies, no threat. But I think that with more work done, this little shooter could go places. |
| Dec 20 03:38:00 | 4m 00s | Mr. Treevil's Lonely Heart | Mediocre game. The graphics are meh and the gameplay didn't hold my attention, but the core concept was interesting. Polish it up a little and you'll have a neat little game on your hands. |
| Dec 20 03:48:00 | 10m 00s | This Sentence is False | Well that was... Interesting. |
| Dec 20 03:53:00 | 5m 00s | The Race Home | Very difficult! Or maybe I'm just bad at it. I liked the graphics quite a bit. The gameplay was pretty repetitive, though I liked the challenge of juggling the gun and the cart, making progress while keeping zombies at bay. The threat of being alone made it fit well with the theme. |
| Dec 20 04:12:00 | 19m 00s | Carrie | Not bad. The graphics and mood are very good, and the music is fitting. But the gameplay is rather lacking- holding down the right key is neither challenging nor interesting. When all of the followers had died, I figured there was nothing left to do and closed it. |
| Dec 20 04:20:00 | 8m 00s | I'm Where? | I failed my task :c <br/>The game is pretty good. I'm pretty sure most of the graphics are from Oryx or Oddball, so I can't exactly rate you on that. Exploring the world was interesting, and it did feel quite lonely. I felt the procedural, chaotic music fit the world quite well. |
| Dec 20 05:39:00 | 1h 19m | Step Off | I love it! Polished to shining, with a sound core concept that fits with the theme, topped off with cute and fitting graphics. Very well done. |
| Dec 20 10:09:00 | 4h 30m | ASSAULT THE DARK FORTRESS | Awesome game. I'm surprised you were able to do this much in so little time. <br/>The graphics are interesting- the style should hurt my eyes, but something about its chaoticness just WORKS, I think. It's fun to run around and cut up enemies, and I really liked exploring. The theme of 'alone' only kicked in later, but you kept to that- apart from all of the enemies. THe sounds that you did put in worked well, though it really needs a nice soundtrack to go with it. All in all, a very good game. Bravo. |
| Dec 21 00:01:00 | 13h 52m | Looking For Group | It's quite good, I enjoyed chucking dice at people like a madman. The bullies were a nice touch that spiced things up. The graphics were suitable and the music fit well. Good job. |
| Dec 21 01:56:00 | 1h 55m | Lifeless | That was pretty great. The theme and mood were excellent- tiny people among towering landscapes and ruins, the terror of seeing others from afar, the combination of sadness and relief at the end... Part of me really wanted to stay with the red girl, the only one who didn't hurt me when I was around here. I feel that message was powerful. <br/>The graphics are fittingly simple, but I think some ambient music really would've brought the whole experience together into something beautiful. |
| Dec 21 01:58:00 | 2m 00s | Stuck | Game crashes on startup for me. Windows 7, 32-bit. |
| Dec 21 02:00:00 | 2m 00s | Relativity | I tried to play, but the game was too laggy to actually do anything. Like, 2 frames a second. I'm on an average laptop, Windows 7, 32-bit. |
| Dec 21 02:04:00 | 4m 00s | This Charming Man | The game is too laggy to be enjoyable, I'm afraid. Also, the navigation in 3D space was difficult and I think the concept could've worked just as well in 2D. The abstract graphics were plain and made it hard to judge depth properly, but they worked. The game idea is fairly innovative, and I'd like to see what you could come up with if you worked a little harder on it. |
| Dec 21 04:30:00 | 2h 26m | Uncorrupted | The mood was excellent- the way you used the limited range of vision and the sounds of robots really made the facility a creepy, lonely place. The simple graphics suit it, and the sparse audio serves to further improve the mood. Good job. Of course, one critique- the memes scattered everywhere really annoyed me. I'll give you points in humor for trying though. |
| Dec 21 06:54:00 | 2h 24m | Arzea | Quite a nice little metroidvania, especially considering the time in which it was created. Though it didn't follow the theme very well, I had fun adventuring through the world and obliterating everything in my path (gotta love that Douse spell). The music, though good, did eventually get rather annoying. It would be nice if it changed whenever you entered a new area. The graphics were good- I really liked the tiled style of the landscape. |
| Dec 21 11:38:00 | 4h 44m | Desert Adventure (with Kittens) | YES. Cat ending <3 <br/>A pretty good text adventure. I disliked how closed it seemed- whenever you made a wrong turn it just spat you back to the correct place, and sometimes there was only one option. But it was still a good adventure, and I think it was a nice touch how the background colour changed with the environments. You hardly touched on the 'alone' theme, though. |
| Dec 21 11:52:00 | 14m 00s | They Hunger | Pretty good game. The graphics felt nice- I especially liked the bullet particles. I beat the game with all 25 relics, finding it pretty easy to blast through the hordes of zombies. Though you didn't really work with the theme, the mood was great, with the darkness around the player. However, the audio was really annoying- I can only guess that the player is some form of clown, judging by the squeaky sound of him walking around. Apart from that issue, the game is good. |
| Dec 21 12:08:00 | 16m 00s | Midas | A brilliant reimagining of the tale of the king Midas. Beautiful art, great puzzle mechanic. |
| Dec 21 12:18:00 | 10m 00s | Together Alone | Excellent game. Good mechanic, good art, good mood, good story. |
| Dec 22 06:27:00 | 18h 09m | The Word Alone | Excellent, original concept. Audio and graphics fit with it well. SImple but brilliant. |
| Dec 22 08:18:00 | 1h 51m | The Love Letter | Very cute game. I liked the graphics a lot, and the gameplay fit the theme + was fun. Would love to see this finished! |
| Dec 22 11:42:00 | 3h 24m | Nyan Nyan Stack | Omigosh so cute eeeeee :> <br/>The idea was pretty good- carrying stuff around and using it to propel yourself. The graphics were definitely my favourite- So adorable. The personalities of the characters were excellent- "Sorry nya!", etc. I felt sorry for the pigs when they died :c Good game! |
| Dec 22 11:58:00 | 16m 00s | The Secluded Cave | Wheeeeeee. <br/>I love the lighting so much, I just gotta say. It was also cool how the monsters were glowing eyes in the darkness before you turned to look at them. Blasting apart those monsters was a good time, and the darkness helped enhance the feeling of being alone in a cavern. Not sure I liked the choice of yellow for the cave walls, though. |
| Dec 23 11:46:00 | 23h 48m | My Own World | The physics were kind of difficult for me to handle, so I didn't get very far in the game. However, you stuck with the theme and the graphics were good, so you get points for that. |
