Dec 19 11:05:00 Always Alone Nice little story. I think that Limiting the number of pushes would have made it more game-y.
Dec 19 11:26:00 21m 00s 3 Missing, 4am Very cinematic, good use of camera and light. <br/> <br/>As others have commented, a tiny bit more direction on where to get the batteries would have been greatly appreciated. And keeping in mind that I'm a lazy bastard on a tight schedule.
Dec 19 11:27:00 1m 00s Shadow Glow At first I tried using WADS but had to switch to WASD. I guess it's just a personal preference. <br/> <br/>This should totally be Alan Wake DLC, or maybe a game he plays on his mobile phone between episodes.
Dec 19 11:32:00 5m 00s Minicraft Playing to your strengths. Congratulations on completing the Ludum Dare 48, you're now just as good as I am :)
Dec 19 11:52:00 20m 00s Zolcan Oh, that sneaky little rock sumbitch! <br/> <br/>Decent platforming. Am I supposed to be some kind of an interstellar exterminator? <br/> <br/>I gave up at the second rock-monster jump.
Dec 19 11:56:00 4m 00s ALONE! This would make a great intro to another game, and apparently that's what it is.
Dec 19 12:01:00 5m 00s Courage Quest Impressive work for 48 hours. <br/> <br/>Platforming was solid, and the environments interesting. <br/> <br/>I only lit a handful of torches before retiring.
Dec 20 03:54:00 15h 53m Puppy Shelter It was okay, kind of wish there was something I could do about the puppies being put down, like if it depended on how many moves it took to complete a board.
Dec 20 03:59:00 5m 00s The Word Alone Astounding accomplishment for 48 hours, I can't even begin to imagine how this was done. Oh, hello source code.
Dec 20 14:12:00 10h 13m Last breath I don't use the word "innovative" often, probably mostly because I'm a bitter dick, but this was a very innovative use of movement recording. The graphics were meh, but I'm sure you could do better with more time.
Dec 20 14:14:00 2m 00s Afrocity Atrocity What is? I don't even.
Dec 20 14:19:00 5m 00s Abandoned Nice pixels.
Dec 20 14:24:00 5m 00s By Your Side I'm not smart enough for this type of gameplay.
Dec 20 14:25:00 1m 00s [Greeble] I found the kitty! But that was before clipping got turned back on.
Dec 20 14:27:00 2m 00s .Journey to Polygonia HTML5 eh? Interesting audio limitation.
Dec 20 14:30:00 3m 00s Best Friend I got the "dog" ending. This was absolutely brilliant and a benchmark for about how long I can deal with platforming in my old age. Great work, thanks for making this. 5/5
Dec 20 14:51:00 21m 00s Craequ Brilliant, kinda sad I haven't thought of this yet, and happy that you have.
Dec 20 15:41:00 50m 00s Mountain I really liked this concept. When I realized they were cranes, I nearly wept. Great work.
Dec 20 15:45:00 4m 00s Abandon Very pretty. First thing I did was walk off the edge... <br/> <br/>Tuning jump is one of my least-favorite things about rolling/managing a character controller... so frustrating!
Dec 20 16:59:00 1h 14m Me and Myself Absolutely brilliant. Loved this one.
Dec 20 17:10:00 11m 00s Sol Solo Very interesting concept. Took me a bit to figure out precisely what was happening. Excellent graphics.
Dec 20 17:49:00 39m 00s Alone Couldn't get past 7/9.
Dec 20 17:50:00 1m 00s A.L.O.N.E. I rated because it was the first thing I saw.
Dec 20 17:54:00 4m 00s Farrokh Where's the source at? Is the pixel effect a shader?
Dec 20 17:55:00 1m 00s Leave Me Alone! What the...
Dec 20 17:58:00 3m 00s Step Off Pretty interesting little shoot feature. I love the simplicity, though it did take me a few to figure out what was going on.
Dec 20 18:41:00 43m 00s 5 DAYS Well done. A "shift-to-run" would have been most welcome. Definitely a strong foundation for future FP 3D work.
Dec 20 18:48:00 7m 00s Moving Day I ran, died, and was eaten by a cat. I, too, was disappointed by the feedback to my responses :P
Dec 20 18:50:00 2m 00s A form of monotheism Wow. I'm way too OCD to know how to make this go. I blame TV. <br/> <br/>Thumbs up for HTML5?
Dec 20 18:58:00 8m 00s The Lonely Arena Very well done. Love the voice-work, I really must try harder to get more into my next attempt. <br/> <br/>I'd recommend Screen.lockCursor for this type of control, as well... when I found the button and clicked it I closed my 3DS Max project &gt;.&lt;
Dec 20 19:02:00 4m 00s Quiet, Please! Wicked good. That mom was just like mine!
Dec 20 23:22:00 4h 20m Chromboid Gorgeous. I got lost and gave up.
Dec 20 23:29:00 7m 00s The Sheep & The Peach Three games for the price of one! Value+
Dec 20 23:47:00 18m 00s Ravenwood Enigmatic. Cute graphics and great atmosphere, hard to go wrong with thunder and lighting.
Dec 21 01:52:00 2h 05m Soliloquy Very excellent idea, and I get what you're going for. It gave me serious vertigo and I couldn't go on.
Dec 21 02:23:00 31m 00s Gemclusion Nice twist on this type of puzzle, and I really want a physical version so I can put those gems in my mouth.
Dec 21 02:41:00 18m 00s Lonely Planet Very nice on the visual side. With some sound and level design this could be very good indeed.
Dec 21 02:51:00 10m 00s Skull Hunt It's a platformer alright. I really dug the physical thrown objects, very fun that. And the noodling guitar was a nice touch.
Dec 21 04:42:00 1h 51m Survive The Desert I was kind of shocked to see my LD entry on the PC in the desert.
Dec 21 05:31:00 49m 00s Forgotten Memories Pretty cool tech demo. With a bit of ambient sound and some drugs this would be killer.
Dec 21 05:36:00 5m 00s This Sentence is False oh oh oh I'm on fire
Dec 21 05:40:00 4m 00s Solus I died pretty hard in this. Liked the Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet vibe.
Dec 21 05:49:00 9m 00s Lonely Island Nailed the theme and mood, and a very well-executed 2.5D perspective.
Dec 21 05:56:00 7m 00s Umbrella Trip Wow this game murdered me early, and often. Interesting feature, though, that umbrella.
Dec 21 06:00:00 4m 00s Cirque du Seul Did you really make that whalesong yourself? <br/> <br/>Thank you for the pretty pictures.
Dec 21 06:04:00 4m 00s The End That old dude went down like a sack of beans.
Dec 21 06:49:00 45m 00s Arzea Great technical execution with a buttload of character. Top contender for sure, though not sure how Alone I felt...
Dec 21 16:57:00 10h 08m Separation Anxiety Very nice visual presentation.
Dec 21 18:16:00 1h 19m /follow S&amp;S:EP and Skyrim theft hack. Companion cube and Scarface. <br/> <br/>Very well-executed point-and-clicker, a real nice modern throwback to the halcyon days gone by. <br/> <br/>Wonderful characters, very charming. Had this been a compo entry it would have cleaned up for sure.
Dec 21 18:30:00 14m 00s Midas Brilliant. I would totally steal this if I was of the thieving bent.
Dec 21 18:51:00 21m 00s Alone In A Crowd Pretty cool, liked the little representations and was sad when I couldn't get the girl back from the bigger square. Fortunately there was a kitty to watch me swing...
Dec 21 18:58:00 7m 00s Alone in the Unknown First impression (and caveat, I just load the games without reading instructions or descriptions) couldn't figure out what I was being trained for. Had to drop out to figure out what the "action" button was, an on-screen prompt would have fixed that right up. <br/> <br/>Went back in and got stuck in a wall. Retried and there were two of me and it loaded me into level 3 without passing level 2. Then it froze. <br/> <br/>I think there might be a few bugs in there. <br/> <br/>The ghosts were cute.
Dec 21 19:10:00 12m 00s ToastCat N.Y.A.N.C.A.T. call of Catnobyl. Excellent concept, damn those radiation bugs!
Dec 21 19:29:00 19m 00s VOXTERIUM Lovely concept. I kept thinking of how this would be with motion control. <br/> <br/>Rather insane difficulty ramping, for my skill level anyway. Couldn't win on anything but NOOB.
Dec 21 19:57:00 28m 00s You Can't Go Through The Door Loved the Costanza logo. Didn't really get what to do so I just hammered keys until it froze. Fortunately, mashing buttons is fun.
Dec 21 20:54:00 57m 00s ZERO2 Very impressive visuals, a little weird plotting. The kind of interactivity I hope to have next time.
Dec 22 04:05:00 7h 11m Ennui What's the point?
Dec 22 04:08:00 3m 00s Bootstraps 91. Seems accurate too, considering I patterned my behavior after my real-life history.
Dec 22 04:14:00 6m 00s Cat Match I must have downloaded 3 portable versions while clicking the bottom row. <br/> <br/>For a 1st-time no experience kind of deal, this was a pretty good effort. I love making kitties disappear, for sure.
Dec 22 04:17:00 3m 00s A Blind Man in the Darkness I'm sorry for your loss.
Dec 22 04:25:00 8m 00s Castaway Very nice visually and decent BGM/SFX. Super-frustrating movement made me give up.
Dec 22 04:30:00 5m 00s It's Space This game would be awesome if there was colonization of planets, ship customization, and intergalactic diplomacy. <br/> <br/>But yeah, great effort. A score counter for blasting the baddies would have been welcome.
Dec 22 04:32:00 2m 00s Alone in the city Really awesome jam entry. Hope PoV or whomever can get it transferred into that category.
Dec 22 04:42:00 10m 00s Asteroids: Alone Edition I hate you. <br/> <br/>Nyan Cat is the next generation's Rick Roll.
Dec 22 04:46:00 4m 00s AS:ZT - Assault Squad: Zombie Tactics I couldn't cut the human off and quit. I can't read.
Dec 22 04:51:00 5m 00s KITTENS the Great I like the concept, and would be super-fun multiplayer. <br/>Locked up for me around 20 turns in, but I got the gist of it.
Dec 22 04:59:00 8m 00s OMFG FFS will you LEAVE me ALONE Bang bang bounce bounce. What were you saying?
Dec 22 05:06:00 7m 00s The Lonely Island So much better than CrineMaft.
Dec 22 05:13:00 7m 00s Expecting a Call Fun until I realized there was no lose condition, and it was an endless positive feedback loop. <br/> <br/>Penalty for missed calls, or an overall timer (the sun setting would have been visually cool) and then making it a high-score chase would have been a couple of ideas.
Dec 22 07:08:00 1h 55m And then, alone at Epsilon-1 Excellent foundation for future expanded projects. Minor camera issues and raycasts obscured by the player avatar, would probably want to set the player to the "IgnoreRaycast" layer. <br/> <br/>Love the texturing, fantastic.
Dec 23 17:49:00 34h 41m Down A Well You should be.
Dec 24 14:37:00 20h 48m sQared I was surprised how angry I got at not figuring out the keypad. Found the green flashlight and the person up the ramp, that's pretty much where I gave up. <br/> <br/>Good work on introducing the player to the controls, and nice atmosphere. Also I'm falling in love with the lo-fi texturing that some of these Unity games are showing off this compo. Really slick.
Dec 25 15:50:00 25h 13m Cardiac and fireproof Kitten alone in Alps after a plane crash Forest fire simulation of the year.
Jan 3 17:04:00 217h 14m HUG MONSTER Hah, I'm glad you pointed me here, at the risk of missing this gem. Excellent work and love love love the 2D Unity.
Jan 4 14:24:00 21h 20m Things you do alone... Simulator of the year, great work!
