Apr 24 19:35:00 Fancy Seeing You Here Neat! <br/> <br/>Unfortunately it takes too long to get to the variation for me to try to get more than one of the endings, but it's an interesting idea, and you do a great job of setting the mood.
Apr 25 20:24:00 24h 49m Mayor vs Aliens Cool! Could use balancing, and maybe a little more depth to the gameplay, but neat idea and fun story.
Apr 25 20:24:00 0s TinyIsland Wow, awesome! Wish I was on with other people, but very cool for only 48 hours.
Apr 25 20:44:00 20m 00s Red Whoops! Went through the game without knowing about the grappling hook or glide that you mention in the info, just relying on the (to avoid spoiling) huge jumps to get around. <br/> <br/>Impressive length, and interesting story--although I think I was just a little too confused about the intro. The sound is pretty good, although for me, at least, the walking sound prior to the "big jumps" cut in abruptly and left abruptly, which was kinda weird. <br/> <br/>I was also going to suggest having some sort of mechanism to accelerate the rate of "big jumps", but now that I know there's a grappling hook and glide, that's probably not necessary. <br/> <br/>All in all, nice game. Enjoyed playing it, and enjoyed your take on the theme. I knew what was going on, but I somehow didn't guess what was actually happening!
Apr 26 02:12:00 5h 28m Puny Planet Interesting gameplay... have you played Solar or Solar 2 by chance? Almost exactly the same! Yours is easier though, and less complex (as should be expected from an LD game). Good though, and fun. <br/> <br/>One thing that made it really hard to play is that there was nothing to measure your speed and relative position by. A simple scrolling background would have helped this, with perhaps some parallax dust to more directly indicate speed. <br/> <br/>When I died, a second loop of the music started, and when I closed the tab, the music kept going... I found the rogue java process and killed it, though. <br/> <br/>Overall, nice game, although it could have used more graphical cues.
Apr 26 02:48:00 36m 00s ONLY DUST Wow. Incredible graphics, music, story. Level design easily makes up for the simple gameplay. Awesome.
Apr 26 22:15:00 19h 27m Face The Truth Dang it! Got pretty far, starting to get massively powerful... but then it crashed, with just a white screen and intermittent sound effects. Oh well. Was fun while it lasted!
Apr 29 00:30:00 50h 15m Going Rogue Wow, very well done! It seemed a little easy, but I definitely liked the idea and implementation. Excellent art and graphics, as well!
Apr 29 00:50:00 20m 00s Tiny Card World Interesting ruleset, although I agree with everyone else that it could have been introduced better. Graphics were simple for the cards but did their job. I liked the combination with a world map, too. Theme didn't tie in very well, I think, although it does work literally.
May 1 00:49:00 47h 59m Expand Explore Expatiate Wow, great! Made the mistake of trying to play the old version, but once I got through some of the content one time, it was much easier the next. <br/> <br/>Novel concept, really enjoyed it! Agreed that the ending is a little lackluster, but given the time constraint, the game was satisfying enough to beat that I didn't mind that so much.
May 13 18:27:00 305h 38m I Should Clean My Keyboard Impressive! I did expect the enemies to have more strategy as I got later on, but the final boss was hard regardless. Nice mechanic, and although it was simple, it was very fun. I really enjoyed the humor and story, too. The misspellings are quite jarring to me, personally, but I noticed an ñ in the scrolling background so I'll allow it. Great game!
