| Dec 20 18:13:00 | Mr Booo! | Very simple gameplay but I think it gives the game some charm. I like the concept, but I think you need to make the hitboxes a bit smaller. In level 3 I kept dieing even though on the screen it didn't even look like I had touched anybody. Better to give the player the benefit of the doubt! | |
| Dec 20 18:22:00 | 9m 00s | The Lone Terraformer | Well I think I was able to figure out what to do through intuition...sort of. I'm guessing I couldn't beat 'easy' mode because I made way more trees than water. It's an interesting concept but the game gets repetitive quickly. |
| Dec 20 18:28:00 | 6m 00s | Alone On Planet 54672 | Cool, sort of trippy visual style. The main gameplay mechanic took a little while to 'click' with me, but I was sort of getting into it by the end. As someone else mentioned, it does seem like holding right seems to be to solution most of the time. |
| Dec 20 18:37:00 | 9m 00s | Temple of Loneliness | Cute graphics and decent concept but as you've no doubt already realized, having the player have to restart the game after every death was a huge oversight which will cost you dearly muahhahaha. And now that I've rated this version, I'll go ahead and give the 'fun' version a try :D |
| Dec 20 18:49:00 | 12m 00s | I Should Go Back | Surprisingly ambitious amount of storytelling in this one, although the story is very weird I thought it was pretty interesting. Then I realized you wanted me to solve some absolutely insane number puzzle, so I reloaded the game and walked into the space lizards mouth :) |
| Dec 20 18:54:00 | 5m 00s | Leave Me Alone | Well, I played this game by myself despite your explicit instructions and uhh well it wasn't that fun...but I could see how it WOULD be fun with two people! |
| Dec 20 19:01:00 | 7m 00s | I Am A Ninja | Pretty cool game! Took a second to get used to the controls, and overall I still found it a bit hard, but the rope mechanic works surprisingly well. If you added in checkpoints for non-hardcore players like myself I think it would be a pretty great game. |
| Dec 20 19:08:00 | 7m 00s | Alone with Mines | I actually think this is a pretty good idea for a game, but the one thing I don't really get is the gravity, or why this isnt done from a top down perspective. It seems like every could become impossible to solve because of this (ie you've chosen the wrong path and there's no way to refill a tile) Hmmm... actually there's an idea, if you could re-solidify a previously dug tile that might solve the problem! |
| Dec 20 19:18:00 | 10m 00s | Alone With Your Thoughts | This is a pretty cool concept for a game. With a bit of polish it could be really solid. As you've mentioned some more visual feedback would help. The platforming is a bit wonky as well. One simple fix would be to have the jump key work on key release rather than press. It seems like it's impossible to get to the highest platforms on the level? |
| Dec 20 19:24:00 | 6m 00s | One Man Alone in the Darkness | Pretty solid game. I wish the sword swing was more of a semi-circle than the tiny slice of pie it is now, as it is a bit annoying how close you need to be to the enemies to hit them. It gets repetitive but overall I had fun, and would play again if there was more variety to it. |
| Dec 20 19:31:00 | 7m 00s | Can't Survive Alone | Pretty effing crazy game, but I like it! Of the three sections, the only compelling gameplay was in the second, but without the third section there wouldnt have been any kittens so i dunno :) |
| Dec 20 19:35:00 | 4m 00s | Inkompleet Shootiefing | Wow! This is really cool. The graphics looks awesome! It's short and there's not much to do, but it's definitely a great base for a bigger game. |
| Dec 20 19:56:00 | 21m 00s | Alone In A Crowd | Cool game, I especially like the crowd mechanics. But i hit 'The Answer' room very quickly each time I played, which was kind of annoying - Obviously I would've liked to have a choice whether I felt that was the answer or not. |
| Dec 20 20:01:00 | 5m 00s | The Breakup | Yes, the intro sequence is very slow. The gameplay is also very simple and quite buggy. Nice simple retro graphics though. |
| Dec 20 20:06:00 | 5m 00s | Glibber Alone | Web link doesn't work...for me at least. |
| Dec 20 20:13:00 | 7m 00s | A Puzzling Loneliness | I have to say I think this is pretty good. You were able to incorporate a lot of different mechanics for a 48 hour game. Like tamat said the controls aren't very intuitive. Why W to throw stuff and not left mouse click for example? Anyway, very solid entry. |
| Dec 20 20:18:00 | 5m 00s | Zombie City | Yeah I have to say this game is very (maybe unintentionally) funny, with the zombies falling all over themselves. I couldn't really find where to go and I also couldn't figure out how to look around. I've had a similar issue with other Unity games though (on Mac in Firefox). |
| Dec 20 20:23:00 | 5m 00s | Ydunn | Cool visuals and intriguing start but I also had to much trouble with the section where the statues come to life. The hit detection seems very unforgiving to me, and after 10 or so tries I just had to give up. |
| Dec 20 20:27:00 | 4m 00s | Alone by TAX | Really nice graphics and mood. Had no idea how to control the boat though so I gave up :( |
| Dec 20 20:31:00 | 4m 00s | Lone Kitty | Simple but charming game. Nice surprise ending too :D |
| Dec 20 20:37:00 | 6m 00s | Mom? | Yeah maybe not the most fun game, but I was laughing at all the weird 'products' that kept popping up. Needs some more compelling mechanics to really keep you playing though. |
| Dec 20 20:42:00 | 5m 00s | Beat the Dragon | Ridiculously difficult! I tried man, but I couldn't get more than one hit on that damn dragon. Why do my bullets travel so slow?? Why do I have to wait so long before I can fire again?? WHY?!?!? |
| Dec 20 20:47:00 | 5m 00s | Not/Alone | Ok I thought the white screen was a bug until I reread your description. It's a decent idea but it doesn't feel quite right. Whenever the white screen comes on you're just kind of waiting for it to change back. Cool pixel smoke effect at the bottom of the screen though! |
| Dec 20 20:58:00 | 11m 00s | /follow | Very nicely done! The graphics were phenomenal, and I found the puzzles and other gameplay to be pretty engaging. The story went from being kind of light-hearted to being really dark by the end - which felt a bit strange, but overall this is probably the best entry I've played yet. Great job! |
| Dec 20 21:57:00 | 59m 00s | AngryMisshapedGuyThing | Well as you've stated no this game is not very fun. One simple improvement would be to allow me to attack at a faster rate. Anyway, glad it was a good learning experience, the music was actually pretty good too! |
| Dec 20 22:01:00 | 4m 00s | I Fly Alone | Really cool particle snow effect. I couldn't really understand what I was supposed to do though. Needs some more specific instructions. |
| Dec 20 22:11:00 | 10m 00s | A Blind Man in the Darkness | I can appreciate taking a slightly less game-y approach to make something a bit more artful, but the 'art' could have resonated a bit stronger if more elements from the poem were depicted in the game world. For example, instead of just walking through a dark cave what if he was chasing a floating 'beacon of light' that shatters at the end. Instead of the character casting a circular light, the beacon would be the only light source in the scene, and at the end you're left in total darkness. At least that's how i would've done it. Still a nice, thoughtful experience. |
| Dec 20 22:22:00 | 11m 00s | You're Alone. | Really cool game. It took me some time to realize there was an offensive element to the game and when I did it really changed things up! I think this is one of the strongest games I've played in terms of the theme so far. Good work! |
| Dec 20 22:26:00 | 4m 00s | Isolation Ball | Not really sure what this one is all about. Seems pretty broken in that there wasn't any consistent result from creating those arcs. Sometimes they made balls disappear most times not. |
| Dec 20 22:44:00 | 18m 00s | Alone | Really cool game! I liked the atmosphere quite a bit. I have to admit though, reading through those psych evaluation questions was pretty boring to me so I decided to quit, especially because it seemed like there were like 12 more in the room. |
| Dec 20 22:50:00 | 6m 00s | Delirium! | Oops I scared myself to death. Well, I played it for a little bit. Can't really tell if there's a goal or an ending. Seems like a decent base for a game though. The graphics are simple but I think they have a charming retro vibe to them. F1 doesnt work in the web version, but I didnt figure out that right mouse click lets you use the flashlight. |
| Dec 20 23:03:00 | 13m 00s | Embers | Really interesting game. I'm not exactly sure what you were going for with the story but it still effected me in kind of visceral way. The ending (or what I think is the ending) was quite potent as well. Good job! |
| Dec 20 23:33:00 | 30m 00s | Singing Zombies | Cool zombie game! You got most of the basics working pretty well, but the game could use some more variety. The zombie movement was also very...mathematical - In that they all sort of swooped in at you in the same way. The music started driving me crazy after about the fifth repetition. Overall good work though! |
| Dec 21 02:54:00 | 3h 21m | Zolcan | The web link doesn't appear to load anything. |
| Dec 21 03:04:00 | 10m 00s | Space Ghost | Uhh...well I'll admit I really didn't understand this at all. I tried typing in the equations you listed at the bottom of the page and nothing happened. |
| Dec 21 03:19:00 | 15m 00s | Alone on an Alien Planet | Pretty solid game. I really liked the flamethrower jumping mechanic. I considered using stencyl as well, but I feel like it falls into a grey area as far as the rules go, since you are likely going to use a lot of premade code. Still, I think you did a good job with this one! |
| Dec 21 03:28:00 | 9m 00s | No One Left | Pretty cool game. I dig the graphics and it has a nice atmosphere to it. Your level design is pretty brutal though - forcing the player to backtrack pretty long distances if they fall down the wrong hole is not super fun. At least I found the kitten :) |
| Dec 21 03:30:00 | 2m 00s | Lonely Adventures of Al Oneman | Web link doesn't appear to load anything. |
| Dec 21 03:34:00 | 4m 00s | Loot Alone | Quirky humor, nice graphics, but I couldn't find the key?? |
| Dec 21 03:48:00 | 14m 00s | The End | Very nice and polished feeling game. The sound and visuals are quite strong as well. I'd have to agree that having multiple characters detracts from the the theme. To say they don't interact seems odd though. Following the second character and then unlocking her is interaction. Them working together towards a common goal is interaction (albeit indirect). Of course, what that common goal is I had no idea, so after walking around for a bit and killing roughly one thousand red slimes I gave up :/ Overall very strong entry though! |
| Dec 21 03:59:00 | 11m 00s | The Stars Need a Friend, Too... | Functional but lacking depth. Gets repetitive quite quickly. Solid effort but needs more variety (enemy types, weapon types, powerups, ect.) |
| Dec 21 04:07:00 | 8m 00s | Kitty Alone! | Alright, this game made me laugh. Nice use of physics too. Got stuck in one of the boxes though on the first level, then got stuck in a wall on the second level :( |
| Dec 21 04:15:00 | 8m 00s | Alone in the city | Really loved the visuals in this game. Obviously there is not much to the gameplay, but I was totally happy to just walk around take in the sights. It was a little weird when I died of loneliness very abruptly, but overall I really enjoyed the experience. <br/> <br/>It does seem like this should be a jam entry though - maybe it would be possible to have it be changed by an admin? |
| Dec 21 04:29:00 | 14m 00s | The Animals are Deadly | You probably know the deal by now - awesome visuals, repetitive gameplay. Could be an interesting game with more variety/challenge. The music started to drive me crazy after a few minutes. Overall good job though! |
| Dec 21 04:46:00 | 17m 00s | Lonely Island | Good visuals and overall I thought it had a nice feel to it. I also like to keep photos of my loved ones lying on the ground in the mountains :) Too bad this is not the finished version, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. |
| Dec 21 16:41:00 | 11h 55m | Castaway | Hmm...I had some weird performance issues with this game. Choppy framerate and stuttery broken sounding music. Anyway it was basically unplayable for me, couldn't even manage to jump on the second platform in the third screen. Nice visuals though. |
| Dec 21 16:58:00 | 17m 00s | Hikikomori | Ok, I really enjoyed how intensely weird this game is. Great music and visuals - his walking and bending over animations made me chuckle. Not really sure what the goal is. I fed the the bird the white thing and walked to the edge of the screen and...game over? Well, ok then. |
| Dec 21 17:08:00 | 10m 00s | The Wizard Apprentice | Wow, I loved it! The puzzles were really good and some of them were very clever (the broom!). The world was surprisingly interactive, and I thought the first/third person perspective mechanic worked quite well. Even though this is short, I think it was really well done. Good job. |
| Dec 21 17:16:00 | 8m 00s | To Be Or Not To Be...Alone | I picked the right door apparently, but somehow still felt like it was a loss. |
| Dec 21 17:24:00 | 8m 00s | Node 2F40E | Ok I had no idea what the goal of this is supposed to be. Made some red cubes appear...and that's about it. Needs a tutorial or some more specific instructions. Sound was a bit abrasive as well. Seemed like an interesting setup, at least. |
| Dec 21 17:32:00 | 8m 00s | Afrocity Atrocity | Absolute insanity. Pretty fun to play, I enjoyed causing havoc and destruction to the people of Afrocity. The music in havoc mode is the stuff of nightmares. Overall, even though I enjoyed it, this may be the least 'alone' themed game I've played yet. |
| Dec 21 17:37:00 | 5m 00s | Alone at Ludum Dare | Look at me, now back to the sky. The moon is a banana. |
| Dec 21 17:42:00 | 5m 00s | Companion | Nice visuals and feeling to it. Seems like it could serve as the basis for a more complete game. |
| Dec 21 17:45:00 | 3m 00s | No Mother Alone | You should change your web link to actually go to the game not your github page. |
| Dec 21 17:48:00 | 3m 00s | You wake up alone | Despite overall lack of content and gameplay it was a solid effort. Nice mood, interesting premise. |
| Dec 21 17:50:00 | 2m 00s | Leave me alone | NoOoOOO |
| Dec 21 17:59:00 | 9m 00s | You don't have to be alone | Man...you spent all that time setting it up as a three person puzzle platformer and then...well I won't post any spoilers, but I did stop playing once I reached the gauntlet. No thanks! Pretty solid effort overall though. |
| Dec 21 18:06:00 | 7m 00s | First Cell | I think you've done a great job with the mood and feeling of this game - the sound and visuals are very effective. The basic concept behind the gameplay is solid but the execution is a bit too meandering. There isn't really any challenge, and as I was quickly progressing through levels I started to lose motivation to play, as the experience didn't seem to be changing or evolving in any way. Overall, a very strong entry, good work! |
| Dec 21 18:10:00 | 4m 00s | Lonely Space | Pretty cool mechanics, and I like his little flip jump, but the level design is a bit unforgiving and I found myself trapped at one point. |
| Dec 21 18:21:00 | 11m 00s | Last breath | Really quite amazing in every way, but having to restart from the beginning after touching the 'shadow' is way too harsh. |
| Dec 21 22:52:00 | 4h 31m | Alone In The Office | Hang in there, baby! |
| Dec 21 22:59:00 | 7m 00s | Enslaving Davement | Pretty cool. I liked the music and the art was pretty good, was well as all the shaking and particle effects. I admit I couldn't beat the first level though - is it actually possible to get to the top without death by anxiety? |
| Dec 21 23:03:00 | 4m 00s | Alonekitten is alone | Well it's a solid base for a game, obviously needs a bit more to it. |
| Dec 21 23:10:00 | 7m 00s | Rocket Man Stan | Very floaty physics...but hey I guess you are on the moon! |
| Dec 21 23:16:00 | 6m 00s | Go find some friends | Yeah it's a bit choppy. It's also kind of hard to understand what the game's about - ok I found some friends, now what? |
| Dec 21 23:37:00 | 21m 00s | Alone with the Enemy | Sort of generic, but very competently made and playable. The inclusion of checkpoints alone makes this one of the best designed games I've played yet! Also, surprisingly long! Good work. |
| Dec 22 05:05:00 | 5h 28m | TownAlone[DISTRICT 214] | Nice atmosphere and great work on the sound. |
| Dec 22 05:16:00 | 11m 00s | The Square | The controls are a little...spastic, but overall I found this this to be quite playable and enjoyable. The puzzles were pretty well designed, and even though it was short, I felt it was a good experience. Nice ending too :) |
| Dec 23 21:24:00 | 40h 08m | Out | Really nice mechanics here. Even though it's short it shows promise for being a pretty good game. Reminded me of Metal Gear Solid :) |
| Dec 23 21:30:00 | 6m 00s | Growing to escape | Pretty fun to play. Weird concept though, am I feeding the flower bird carcasses? Which of course can only be 'fed' to the top of the flower? Well ok then. Still it was fun, nice job! |
| Jan 7 17:30:00 | 356h 00m | Dead Party | Reasonably fun gameplay, although the movement takes a bit too long to accelerate up to a reasonable speed. The 'cat' mechanic is pretty unclear, doesn't seem like they do anything or there is any consequence for killing of leaving them behind. |
| Jan 7 17:34:00 | 4m 00s | Faster, Goetterdaemmerung! Zombie! Zombie! | Didn't run very well for me. Died at the mines twice, gave up. |
| Jan 7 17:40:00 | 6m 00s | Statue | Seemed like a very promising game, love the visuals and the exploration feel. Once I got the red hat though, I couldn't get out of that pit because of the broken double jumping. |
| Jan 7 17:44:00 | 4m 00s | The Lonely Knight - Dark Adventure | Kind of fun but the mechanics needs a little more polishing, I mostly just held down the right arrow and mashed on the space bar. |
| Jan 7 17:57:00 | 13m 00s | Too late but (almost) finished | Ha, the first frame of your game is almost exactly the same as mine! Unfortunately I could not find the gameplay element here. After the dialogue ended I clicked around the whole screen and nothing happened. |
| Jan 7 18:01:00 | 4m 00s | Alone in the Universe | I flew into the sun. I'm going to consider that a victory. |
| Jan 7 18:06:00 | 5m 00s | Kaylin Norman's Generic Series: Platformer | Decent effort but as others have said the game feels a bit broken. Nice music though! |
| Jan 7 18:18:00 | 12m 00s | Unfinished World | Nice minimalist visual style. The combat wasn't too compelling - considering it seems like you can't die there was no real challenge to it. |
| Jan 7 18:41:00 | 23m 00s | Craequ | Genuinely brilliant. My favorite game of the compo so far. |
| Jan 8 01:10:00 | 6h 29m | The Solitude of Sam Smith | The screen shaking effect was a little too much for me. Otherwise decent game! |
| Jan 8 01:16:00 | 6m 00s | Ghost Town | da da da da...du da daaooowwww |
| Jan 8 01:22:00 | 6m 00s | Ennui | Thought this was pretty clever - the most existential game I've played so far! |
| Jan 8 01:40:00 | 18m 00s | Urine Trouble | Surely the best peeing game I've ever played. |
| Jan 8 22:07:00 | 20h 27m | Golgafrincham | Seems interesting but waaay too hard man. |
