| Dec 20 10:05:00 | Outpost Alone | The speed of the bullets made the game a lot more difficult than it really should have been, and I feel that there should have been a score counter of some kind. <br/> <br/>On a more positive note, The graphics were simple yet effective, I liked the effect of the stars in the background. The sounds were also really good. | |
| Dec 20 10:18:00 | 13m 00s | ForeverAloneKitten | There isn't much in the way of gameplay, but it does an excellent job of conveying the "alone" theme. |
| Dec 20 10:26:00 | 8m 00s | Live another day | The ending gave me a bit of a shock, though I suppose that was probably intended. Or maybe I just had the volume up too loud. <br/> <br/>It's not exactly a "game", but it's still a great use of the theme. |
| Dec 21 02:54:00 | 16h 28m | NightEscape | Short, but enjoyable. I liked the lighting effect and the ending was interesting. My only real complaint is the lack of sound, but you already addressed that. |
| Dec 21 04:57:00 | 2h 03m | Follow | I'm not a fan of the player sprite, but the rest of the graphics are really nice. The grey colour scheme and the sounds really help to set the mood. <br/> <br/>I eventually managed to beat it (with both kitten coins), but it took a while to figure out what to do. It's difficult to tell what things can be picked up or used. The descriptions of the items you need are vague (for example, the gate's description makes it seem like you could just use the rod on it) which doesn't help. |
| Dec 21 05:09:00 | 12m 00s | Untitled | The concept of the kittens seems interesting. I would like to see what kind of puzzles and challenges could be created with it if more levels were added. <br/> <br/>The game is unfinished, so it's not fair for me to comment on anything else. Maybe you should have gone for the Jam instead to give yourself more time. |
| Dec 21 05:22:00 | 13m 00s | Viking Cricket on the High Seas | I really like the flashlight mechanic. It's cool how you have to search around a bit in order to find where the next platform is, though the recharging thing was kind of annoying. |
| Dec 21 06:56:00 | 1h 34m | Mission to Mars | Really good. The graphics were decent, it was fun driving the rover around (though it got kind of repetitive after a while) and the objective indicator was a nice touch. |
| Dec 21 07:36:00 | 40m 00s | For the Love of Life | I THINK I finished it. However, there could be a better explanation of what exactly your goal is, though I suppose the lack of explanations makes the game feel more mysterious, and enforces the idea of being alone. Speaking of which, the atmosphere of the game was done really well. |
| Dec 21 07:52:00 | 16m 00s | The Lonely Island | Nice. Simple but enjoyable. <br/> <br/>I found it kind of odd (from a gameplay standpoint) that you needed to open coconuts before eating/drinking them. |
| Dec 22 07:25:00 | 23h 33m | Master Engineer | I'm not really a big fan of tower defense games, so my opinion isn't that valid, but this seems like a solid game. The graphics and sounds are decent and the gameplay works well. |
| Dec 22 07:38:00 | 13m 00s | A Strange Story | The game just sort of ended after the desert level. Is something wrong, or is that supposed to happen? <br/> <br/>In terms of gameplay it was pretty fun, though the character seemed too slow and the gravity seemed too strong. I didn't like graphics, mainly because some things were pixellated while others weren't, which looked odd. |
| Dec 22 08:00:00 | 22m 00s | First | Very nice. The graphics and music do a great job of conveying the mood. The controls also add to the atmosphere, though they can get frustrating when you're trying to chase down a parasite. |
| Dec 22 08:44:00 | 44m 00s | A Lone Kitty | The graphics were good and I liked the lighting effect, it adds a lot to the mood. My only complaint is that the gameplay got slightly dull after a while. |
| Dec 26 06:27:00 | 93h 43m | Frostbite | I'm amazed you managed to do all this in 48 hours. <br/> <br/>The freezing and hunger mechanics are interesting. They encourage you to keep moving and to hunt for provisions, plus they add to the atmosphere of the game, but they never become too difficult to manage. <br/> <br/>Overall it is a great game, one of the best I've played so far. |
| Dec 26 07:05:00 | 38m 00s | Running Alone | This is a decent game. The backgrounds are nice and the wavy effect is cool, but the look of the player and platforms could use some work. The fact that your movement is kind of laggy when on the ground is annoying. |
| Jan 5 04:34:00 | 237h 29m | Lucide Solitude | The gameplay by itself is simple, but the increasing sounds and decreasing light make it very interesting. |
| Jan 5 07:18:00 | 2h 44m | Populating_Racing | The concept is very unique and is an interesting use of the theme. <br/>I think the environment coming to life as you attain higher ranks is a nice touch. <br/>While I'm not dedicated enough to S rank everything (I B ranked track 1 and 2 to unlock all the tracks), I appreciate the addition of replay value. |
| Jan 5 08:19:00 | 1h 01m | Alone In Space | There isn't much to comment on since I'm not sure what the complete version was supposed to be. In any case it was sort of fun flying around and the graphics were nice. |
| Jan 5 08:49:00 | 30m 00s | Friend | The graphics are good - The rain effects are nice and I like the way the camera moves. The sounds are suitable, the game is fun, and the levels are well designed. <br/> <br/>I was confused by your friend randomly attacking you (especially since you still got a Game Over when he died) and the fact that the movable boxes teleported rather than moving and falling normally was odd. <br/> <br/>Those issues aside, it was a great game! |
| Jan 6 09:44:00 | 24h 55m | Alone - Island Generator | There should have been more to the game, but the island generation is cool and the music is nice. |
| Jan 6 10:07:00 | 23m 00s | Screaming | The atmosphere of the game is very well done. The graphics are nice despite their simplicity, and the sounds add a lot to the mood. <br/> <br/>However, there isn't much in terms of gameplay, and I didn't know what I was supposed to do. I reached a point where the screen turned black and text said "It screamed" which felt like it was supposed to be the end, but the game kept going so I'm not sure. |
| Jan 6 10:24:00 | 17m 00s | Escape | I managed to completed the game, but it would have been better if there were more instructions on what you can do and what your goal is. I would of liked the game more if it took itself more seriously and had less excessive swearing, but that's just my opinion. |
| Jan 7 08:08:00 | 21h 44m | Rover's Spirit | I don't like that you need to install OpenAl, but it was simple to install and the game worked fine afterwards, so it's not a major problem. <br/> <br/>A short and simple, yet enjoyable, game. The graphics are okay, but not great. I liked the sounds a lot, though. The "Alone" theme is also used fairly well. |
| Jan 7 09:08:00 | 1h 00m | 0 ALONE | Fantastic! <br/> <br/>The gameplay is lacking, but that's not the focus of this. The graphics and sound seem simple initially, but the way they evolve over the course of the game is really cool. Excellent use of the theme. |
| Jan 7 23:42:00 | 14h 34m | Snowfall | Could you upload a video or something so that people can rate it even if they can't play it? |
| Jan 8 00:10:00 | 28m 00s | Snow | I'm not too sure about what the story was supposed to be about or where I was, especially since the contents of most of the locations were completely unrelated, but this was still a fun little game. I liked the graphics, though it would have been nice too have some sounds or music. |
| Jan 8 01:54:00 | 1h 44m | Lost in the Woods | That tree is a jerk! <br/> <br/>Nice game. Restarting over isn't a major problem since it's so short, though there should've been an option to restart rather than quit. The puzzles were kind of tricky, but not too bad. I also liked the music. My only complaint is the graphics - Having some parts blurry and some not doesn't look very good. <br/> <br/>I found the kitten! |
| Jan 8 02:18:00 | 24m 00s | Skull Hunt | A nice platformer. The throwing mechanic is quite cool, though I don't like that it's possible to throw the skulls that you need away. The sounds were well done, too. <br/> <br/>The graphics are decent, but the fact that some things are more pixelated than others isn't good. There isn't much connection to the theme either. |
| Jan 8 03:18:00 | 1h 00m | WEIRDLY ALONE. | The graphics are excellent! I love the Game Boy style green. The way the sound changes as you move is also cool. <br/> <br/>As others have said, the movement is too slow. I feel the dash speed should've been the walk speed, and the dash speed should be twice that. The difficulty curve is odd. The first few monsters are difficult to get past, but when you get the Medi-Kit and Gun things become much easier. <br/> <br/>Despite that, it's a great game overall. |
| Jan 8 03:38:00 | 20m 00s | The Secluded Cave | The lighting is cool, the graphical style is cool, the random generation is cool... Basically, everything about this game is really cool. It's a shame about the lack of sound. |
| Jan 8 04:57:00 | 1h 19m | Enslaving Davement | I hate this game so much. <br/> <br/>Embracing my completionist side, I decided to collect every note in the game. I struggled against strict time limits and difficult jumps, avoiding the easy path that could be taken by ignoring notes. By the end I was yelling at my computer. After I finally finished I was rewarded with this: "You got 20/80 notes" FUUUUUUU... <br/> <br/>Seriously though, this is a neat game. Both the graphics and audio are nice, especially the anxiety effects. The game is extremely challenging, but still fun, though I think the difficulty could be toned down a bit. And that ending notes glitch should be fixed. |
| Jan 8 05:18:00 | 21m 00s | EpiCat | Basic, but still fun to play for a while. The game screen didn't fit on my screen correctly so the high score, score, and life counters were cut off, which ruined the game a little. |
| Jan 8 06:02:00 | 44m 00s | Robot Armageddon! | It would be nice if there were some instructions. The first time I played I thought the goal was to get as many enemies as possible on screen before dying to score points. Then I read these comments and realised that I could shoot. <br/> <br/>The graphics aren't the best, though the sounds are good. The gameplay itself is a lot of fun. You've got to love that classic arcade action. My best score is 87350, on level 4. <br/> <br/>When I tried the game with an Xbox 360 controller I could only fire up and down. |
| Jan 8 09:41:00 | 3h 39m | Alone in the park | Nice game. It's a little short but still fun. The graphics were pretty good, there was some interesting uses of physics, and I enjoyed the dialogue. |
| Jan 8 12:06:00 | 2h 25m | The Lonely Electron | The graphics and sound are great, and the gameplay is pretty fun too. There should have been more of an explanation, as it took me a while to realise I was supposed to stay near the wire thing. Like others have said, it's also too short. |
| Jan 8 12:26:00 | 20m 00s | Erasum | That was the best options menu I've ever seen! <br/> <br/>A fairly standard platformer, but also a good, fun one. I really liked the graphical style and audio. The music is catchy, if a little repetitive. And the story was so deep and emotional! Okay, maybe not, but it was funny. |
| Jan 8 12:54:00 | 28m 00s | Bunker | I found the kitten and all the notes! My score was 218300. <br/> <br/>The game gets dull after a while, especially since it's such a large area with little gameplay or visual variety. The graphics and sounds are good though, and the game does a decent job of showing the theme. |
| Jan 8 21:21:00 | 8h 27m | Nothing But Stars | The controls, graphics, and music/sounds give a nice space feel. If was fun flying around, so it's a shame the game was so short. |
| Jan 9 02:08:00 | 4h 47m | YANA | I had the same problem as wbobeirne. |
| Jan 9 02:37:00 | 29m 00s | I Want To Be Alone | Fantastic little game! The puzzles have some challenge but aren't too difficult. The graphical style is very nice, I especially like the contrast between the ending and the rest of the game. The only noticeable flaw is that it gets a little repetitive after a while. |
| Jan 9 02:58:00 | 21m 00s | Glow | The jumping is a bit awkward. I think that's because the player moves up for a bit then moves down, rather than having gravity that gradually changes its vertical speed. <br/> <br/>Despite that, the game is quite fun. The graphics are decent, though they should be more consistent. Some things are very pixellated while others aren't. I really enjoyed the music and the theme was also used well. |
| Jan 9 04:43:00 | 1h 45m | The End | I finished the game! <br/> <br/>I found it annoying how the combat system forces you to take damage, and it's kind of boring since all you do is stand there. The graphics are good. I liked the lighting effects. well, it's not exactly lighting, but it looks cool anyway. |
| Jan 9 04:50:00 | 7m 00s | The Lone Adventurer | The graphics and sound are excellent, but the jumping is quite awkward. |
| Jan 9 05:13:00 | 23m 00s | VOXTERIUM | Simple, yet fun and addictive. This is also the most original concept for a game that I've seen so far. The graphics are also simple but effective and the sounds are great, especially the music. <br/> <br/>There really should've been some kind of high score thing, plus I felt that the controls weren't sensitive enough. <br/> <br/>Apart from that, this is a brilliant game! |
| Jan 9 05:38:00 | 25m 00s | Alone Ozone | Very clever use of the theme. The concept is original and also incredibly fun, though I felt it went on for a tad long without any variation. Some powerups would've been nice. The graphics and sound are pretty good. I especially like the awesome menu music. It's shame the game music isn't quite as cool. My score was 823515. |
| Jan 9 06:46:00 | 1h 08m | Paper Dream | Very cool! I love the art style, the way the character moves as if he were paper is great. It's also quite fun flying around the place. Though I completed it, more instructions would've been helpful, but I suppose the vagueness of your goals adds to the feel of the game. |
| Jan 9 07:35:00 | 49m 00s | Planet Earth Is Blue | The gameplay was fun, but not very balanced. Shooting enemies wasn't worthwile since you could just as easily run in and grab the egg without defeating any of them. The graphics and audio are great. I liked the soundtrack. I used an Xbox 360 controller, which worked suprisingly well, and my final score was 32350. |
| Jan 9 08:00:00 | 25m 00s | Aurea Oceanus | It was far too difficult for me. The most I got was 5 pieces of gold. However, the atmosphere is very well done. The sounds of breathing plus the restricted field of vision really help to set the mood. Definitely the most atmospheric game I've played in this competition. |
| Jan 9 08:13:00 | 13m 00s | Can't Survive Alone | Too be honest, the cage and kitten sections seemed kind of pointless, but the main game was quite fun. The idea of having your flock as some sort of a healthbar is cool. I would have liked to have more levels, though. |
| Jan 9 08:53:00 | 40m 00s | Solitaire of Solitude | It needs a bit more explanation, but after I eventually figured out how the game worked it was quite fun. It was difficult, but I finally managed to finish with a score of 22. The idea of designing a card game is a very creative concept and it would be pretty cool if there was a real life version of this. |
| Jan 9 09:23:00 | 30m 00s | The Cheese Stands Alone! | Very original puzzle game! The mechanics are interesting and lead to a lot of challenging puzzles. The graphics aren't amazing, but are still fairly good. Nice use of the theme. |
| Jan 9 10:04:00 | 41m 00s | lonely robot | Fun game. The ability to use your gun to propel yourself allowed for some intersting gameplay. The graphics and sound are decent, too. It's a shame that it's so short. |
| Jan 9 10:09:00 | 5m 00s | The Ice Maze | The "play game" button does nothing when I click it. Any idea what the problem might be. |
| Jan 9 10:37:00 | 28m 00s | Alone in Love | What, you can't hook up with Bob? Hmm... Maybe that's what he was going to ask you about. <br/> <br/>This kind of game isn't really my style, but I still sort of enjoyed it. The story was nice, yet a bit short, but that's understandable considering the time limit. It's certainly different than most of the games here. The graphics were good too. |
| Jan 9 10:49:00 | 12m 00s | Alone Midway | The graphics were nice, and pretty atmospheric too. It's too bad about the lack of content. Hopefully it goes better for you next time! |
| Jan 9 11:09:00 | 20m 00s | A Life Apart | I didn't find the gameplay as bad as other people seemed too, but it's definitely not the strong point or focus of the game. The mood, however, is. This is one of the most deep and emotional games I've played here. The graphics and sound are effectively used to develop the atmosphere. Overall, a great use of the theme. |
| Jan 9 12:21:00 | 1h 12m | Leave Me Alone | Before I say anything else I'd like to say the music is amazing! <br/> <br/>This game seemed very difficult at first, but after I played it a bit and got used to it it wasn't so bad. Actually, after I mastered it, this became probably the most fun and addictive game I've played. I couldn't stop playing it! After I finally managed to win twice in a row, with a score of 19803, I stopped. <br/> <br/>I discovered that you can jump in mid air if you walk off a platform rather than jumping off it. I'm not sure if it was a glitch, but I found it to be a suitable and enjoyable mechanic. <br/> <br/>The graphics and sound (especially the music) are good, but some sounds are too loud. Overall, though, it's a fantastic game! |
| Jan 10 01:03:00 | 12h 42m | The Knock | Nice game. It's a bit short, and there should have been more puzzles, though with the time limit that's understandable. I'm not sure exactly what the ending was supposed to mean, but it looked cool and felt interesting. The graphics are neat and I liked the song at the end. |
| Jan 10 01:27:00 | 24m 00s | One Man Alone in the Darkness | Good game. My score was 201. The graphics are great, though the ground being less pixellated than everything else is odd, yet it still looks nice. <br/> <br/>The gameplay is fun, but it gets repetitive after a while. Like you said, powerups would help, and I think there should be more variety between monsters. They seemed to all be the same with different looks to me. Maybe some could shoot or something. <br/> <br/>The controls weren't too problematic for me, but it would be nice to have an option to use WASD instead of the directional keys. |
| Jan 10 01:46:00 | 19m 00s | LUDUM DARODIUS | The flying controls can be kind of annoying when you're trying to dodge stuff precisely, but they're not too bad. Fantastic graphics! I liked the music, but I really wish the game had some sound effects. All in all, a good job. |
| Jan 10 01:58:00 | 12m 00s | BatKeep | Fun, though quite difficult. The crate pushing is way too slow, but the graphics are nice. |
| Jan 10 02:15:00 | 17m 00s | Alone in the Mansion | Nice ending! The game was quite fun, I really liked how some doors has enemies, so it became dangerous to search for the key. The fact that you have to restart the entire game when you die is annoying, but it's not too bad since once you know the key locations you can get through the levels quickly. The graphics and audio were also great. Sorry, I was too late to rate it. |
| Jan 11 09:53:00 | 31h 38m | Super Smash Lander Suicide Party, Bro? | I don't know what just happpened, but I liked it. |
| Jan 11 23:39:00 | 13h 46m | Midas | The main mechanic is original, and leads to many fun and challenging puzzles. The graphics and sounds are simplistic, but still very effective. Overall, an excellent game. |
| Jan 26 06:09:00 | 342h 30m | Worlds End | The gameplay is quite basic and repetitive, but still fairly enjoyable. Some sounds seemed to be missing, such as the shooting of the turrets, but the sounds that were there were fitting. <br/> <br/>Graphically the game is not amazing, but they're still effective. The lighting was a nice touch. However, I would've liked the walls to be more detailed, rather than black blocks. <br/> <br/>I got stuck in the same place as Ralkarin, so I couldn't finish the game. From what I've seen, though, it's a decent entry. |
