| Dec 25 20:54:00 | Puppy Shelter | Good puzzles as usual. :) I played through them all! | |
| Dec 29 02:17:00 | 77h 23m | Gravity Cat Thing | Nice art and music! |
| Dec 29 02:28:00 | 11m 00s | Alone in the Ark | Love it! The sound, graphics, graphical surprise, and especially the super calm music. Just right. |
| Dec 29 02:42:00 | 14m 00s | Node 2F40E | Oh wow, I did not do enough drugs to play this game! |
| Dec 29 02:49:00 | 7m 00s | The Animals are Deadly | where is he getting those barrels from?? |
| Dec 29 02:56:00 | 7m 00s | [Greeble] | Nice graphics! I found the kitten (who ever follows a sign marking EXIT >>>>?) and all my friends, and though it didn't seem to serve any purpose to have them mimicking me, it did make me want to do dances in mid-air for them. |
| Dec 29 03:12:00 | 16m 00s | /follow | Oh my god, this was superb. I'm glad this was a jam entry or I would feel awfully inadequate. :) The art stands out in particular. I didn't feel an in-game hint about the alternate ending though, and I started playing through again but couldn't do anything different from the first pass... |
| Dec 29 03:19:00 | 7m 00s | Ydunn | I liked this graphical style and the music a lot. I couldn't jump over those damn guys but at least after I mysteriously warped back to the beginning I could just walk by them. :) |
| Dec 29 03:27:00 | 8m 00s | The Invention of Colour | Now I need a psychiactric evaluation :-( |
| Dec 29 03:29:00 | 2m 00s | Urine Trouble | Funny :) And pretty fun! |
| Dec 31 17:06:00 | 61h 37m | Alone In The Universe | The game has a nice feel to it, especially the music and sound. Played through the whole thing. It was always straightforward to me what to do to get the beam to the end, though not always easy to execute. Unfortunately that was usually because the controls were too coarse to rotate the mirrors correctly. I also think there are some bugs with the physics. The beam should never "jump" during a sweep, except at the corners, right? |
| Dec 31 17:11:00 | 5m 00s | Little Lucy | If there was something to do in this game other than look at objects, I lost! I do like the graphics and bleakness though. :) |
| Dec 31 17:14:00 | 3m 00s | Solitude-Seeking Rock Star | That's a nice looking room! I was surprised it actually turned out to be 3D and not just a bitmap. |
| Dec 31 17:36:00 | 22m 00s | One Bullet | I think this was a good idea and a nice minimalist execution. It badly needs an ending screen though. I was very confused as well because there seems to be a bug where shooting to the left causes the bullet to collide with the player immediately. |
| Dec 31 17:41:00 | 5m 00s | Phares | Excellent graphics! The post-compo version doesn't start at all for me in any browser. |
| Dec 31 17:45:00 | 4m 00s | And Into The Night We Go Together | Lovely! Even in chrome there are problems with the stability of the sound, though. For a game like this I think having the loop line up properly is really important! |
| Dec 31 17:49:00 | 4m 00s | In the Dark | Brought me right back to Shadowgate! :) |
| Dec 31 17:57:00 | 8m 00s | The Word Alone | Loved it! It's easy once you get the hang of it, but a very clever concept, smooth execution, and creative use of the theme. |
| Dec 31 18:13:00 | 16m 00s | You don't have to be alone | I liked the beginning of this and even found the floaty jumpy physics charming (I think it works better if you allow there to be some window in which the player can be before scrolling, rather than fixing the scroll with the player in the center). The surprise with your friends was good. The game was very slow for me in Chrome, and once I got to the part with all the spiders I could hardly make any progress because it was so slow. Eventually I got trapped and the wizard kept respawning me into death. :( |
| Dec 31 18:26:00 | 13m 00s | Master Engineer | On the fifth wave my towers never seem to do any damage any more. :( But I tried! Pretty good execution. I like that even if I die, I can just not restart and the monsters keep coming :) |
| Dec 31 19:32:00 | 1h 06m | The Last Geek | This is superb, probably the best one I've played in this compo. I think it should have been called "Super Vegetable Boy". :) The graphics and puzzles are all great, and it plays very smoothly. Loved the captions on the body parts. I beat it on noob mode and it wasn't even a chore. My only complaints are small ones: <br/> - Long walljumping is difficult in this game, because you have to hit the keys in exactly the right order. Some room for slop here would have made it a lot more pleasant. Almost all of my deaths were failed walljumps. <br/> - One of the nice things about Super Meat Boy is that the levels are deterministic and you always respawn in the same state (i.e. with the same angle for swinging blades and same timers for lasers, etc.). That means you can practice the timing and jumps. I think you could have done the same here; the respawn points always seem to be safe from blades and lasers and stuff. <br/> - I like the seed mechanic and its limitations, but I felt like I only used them in the obvious spots and there were always more than I needed. I would have liked some opportunities for clever seeding, or some reward for fewest seeds used, or something. You never used the mechanic of having to shoot a seed to grow through a wall early in the level, ahead of getting to a corridor that's too narrow to seed from within! I was expecting that... <br/> - There appears to be a bug where if you shoot a seed into the ceiling at an extreme angle, it grows horizontally. Might be true for other surfaces too. <br/> - The game is pretty tiny, though the graphics are excellent. I would have liked a 2x pixel mode! <br/> - Should have thumping techno soundtrack! <br/> <br/>Congrats, I think this is a contender. :) |
| Dec 31 19:39:00 | 7m 00s | A Weekend Alone | Funny, and hard! That's actually exactly what it looks like when I program, but I usually eat at the computer. :) |
| Dec 31 19:43:00 | 4m 00s | Ascent | I did a sweet swinging move once, which was quite fun, but I can't make it to the top before hypoxia sets in. Maybe I should have worn a different color than white though? |
| Dec 31 19:54:00 | 11m 00s | Alone in the Gloom | Good ending :) I liked the graphics a lot but they look so familiar! Are they original for the compo? If so you have a great retro style! |
| Dec 31 21:09:00 | 1h 15m | Nyan Nyan Stack | Loved it!! The animations and CGA style are perfect. Plays really smoothly and the puzzle design was tight. I found it frustrating to have to REDO FROM START when I died or betrayed a piggy, especially since some of the low jumps are twitchy. I beat the 4th level by jumping over the top. Was that intended? Is the piggie on the right just a red herring then? |
| Dec 31 21:20:00 | 11m 00s | Shadow Glow | I liked it but I wasn't sure if I won or died! :) |
| Dec 31 21:54:00 | 34m 00s | Schizophrenia | Very pretty game! The audio is quite choppy for me and I found the gameplay kinda clunky, mainly because of the physics on my character. The variety and quality of graphics in the three levels was quite impressive. |
| Dec 31 22:02:00 | 8m 00s | Alone Together | Just like being at a real party! The idea is great and I love the style and music. Like the others I didn't find it very hard, but once we were smooching a bunch of other people came over all like ? and then we were all having a kissy orgy and I won. |
| Dec 31 22:16:00 | 14m 00s | Separation Anxiety | I liked the presentation of the tutorials a lot. Good puzzles too, though I think this particular mechanic has been used a number of times before (I think I have even seen it in LD maybe 19?). I never quite figured out the point of the projections when you were on the goal dot? |
| Dec 31 22:34:00 | 18m 00s | Terra Dua | A nice little adventure, which I played through to the end. I was sad that the mystery wasn't resolved and I couldn't find a kitten :) Also, my guy moved pretty slowly and it felt like chores going back and forth in the levels. :( |
| Dec 31 23:02:00 | 28m 00s | Are We Alone? | Cripes, it's so hard! I liked the vibe and I really wanted to find some space babies but I just kept running out of fuel (which of course causes my spaceship to immediately stop :)). |
| Dec 31 23:15:00 | 13m 00s | 0 ALONE | I like the art and sound a lot, though the moire effect as you get zoomed out is kind of a distraction. I couldn't quite figure out the picture, and the text was a bit maudlin, and the ending confused me; I couldn't tell if it was really supposed to look like that or if it's a bug. |
| Dec 31 23:18:00 | 3m 00s | ExtraVertical | This was cute; I like the graphics and it's always fun to fall on my face on skis! The music was fine but like humorously inappropriate, and that it didn't loop particularly gave me a chuckle. :) |
| Jan 1 03:07:00 | 3h 49m | 10 Yards Alone | didn't work because of missing d3dx9_43.dll :( |
| Jan 1 03:46:00 | 39m 00s | Final Trip Soccer | Wow wow wow. This is absurdly good. I love the graphics and I can't believe the detail in the intro scene. It's a bit difficult, but mainly just at the beginning of each stage when all the blobs are swarming you. If you get a bad bounce you might get screwed. But once you're down to the blue ones, it's mostly a chore. Still, I had a good time and it didn't go on too long, and this is definitely one of my favorites. Very impressive. |
| Jan 1 04:00:00 | 14m 00s | Ennui | Philosophy-em-up, hehe :) |
| Jan 1 16:39:00 | 12h 39m | Alone in Space | Haha! Just as I was getting into it :) I like the graphics! |
| Jan 1 17:26:00 | 47m 00s | Robotic Friend | Nice big platformer! I beat it with a bit of frustration until I gave up on the red cards. I wish the monsters didn't respawn when I died, or that there were more checkpoints. But a good complete game. :) |
| Jan 1 17:28:00 | 2m 00s | Lonely Tennis | Haha, this was really cute. I had a good laugh, including at the details that make this nothing like tennis (net in the back, soccer field, ball is always going out of bounds? :)) |
| Jan 1 17:38:00 | 10m 00s | Last breath | Super, as usual. I recognize the graphical effect from the last one, but maybe it's your trademark. :) Loved the animation and lighting effects. It was a bit sluggish on my parent's desktop (fastest machine around), which made it hard to play, though... |
