| Apr 23 04:38:00 | Mitochondrion | Great concept and well executed. Smooth controls, great colors, and I love the parallax. Was disappointed it was only a single level. That's usually a good sign. =) | |
| Apr 23 04:46:00 | 8m 00s | Little Sky.... | I love the concept, but I couldn't get higher than the first platform. And since I couldn't actually stand on that platform, or place blocks fast enough to go to the second platform, I'll never see the rest of the game. :( Still, it's a memorable idea, using your "will" to escape... |
| Apr 23 04:56:00 | 10m 00s | Rocket Boat | You've set the bar for LD23 IMHO. Any game better than this is pure awesome. <br/> <br/>My only (tiny) concerns were the difficulty curve (I made it to level 2 on try 2, but ran out of time too quickly) and the control scheme (it makes intuitive sense in code, but not in play). But these sorts of problems are what normal games spend way more than 48 hours fixing. =) Great work! |
| Apr 23 05:22:00 | 26m 00s | Genesis | Sweet! Got a score of 169. I played just long enough to get comfortable and start wanting more; always a good sign. I think you nailed the concept, and I love the design of your hero. Squishy, boxy, techno angel fella! |
| Apr 23 05:42:00 | 20m 00s | Atomic Galaxy Factory | I got to the end of the universe! =) Kudos for making a game we can actually win. I established a bulkhead early, and quickly become interested in just how the upgrades would travel. Nice work! |
| Apr 23 05:49:00 | 7m 00s | Alien Archaeologist | Got to level 12! I really feel a strong, old-school classic vibe from this game. Before I realized I could shoot, actually, I was enjoying a relaxed pace as I tried to figure out how best to use the bombs, without getting pummeled by enemies. The re-growing blocks, grass, and trees are a wonderful touch, and the enemy variety is good. (really loved using a bomb on the amoebas) Finally, good job on the controls. Felt very natural. |
| Apr 23 05:55:00 | 6m 00s | Flea Circus | Hey fellow Flea Circus lover! Good job on the game design. My third round saw me do some crazy antics and get high scores, that was quite fun. Love the judges, too. <br/> <br/>On the flip side, it was hard to see the flea. Maybe the floor could be pushed farther down, and a white outline would help him pop more. And I confused the Front Flip (A?) with the Combo (D). It felt like Combo should be the middle button. BUUUUT that's a minor issue. Good job! |
| Apr 23 06:09:00 | 14m 00s | Polarity | Yep. 12 levels and I'm stumped, but man, you nailed the concept and innovated, to boot. Congrats! |
| Apr 23 15:34:00 | 9h 25m | Scape | Level 8... full stop! Good stuff, very simple, hard to put down. |
| Apr 23 15:42:00 | 8m 00s | Pixel Wars | Hey, I enjoyed that! I loved camping in the wings and then popping out to clean up the "leftovers." The digging mechanic really sealed the deal. |
| Apr 25 15:42:00 | 48h 00m | ACTION SCIENCE DOG | Yep, good stuff! The update-when-moving thing in a free-move game is surprisingly compelling, one of those "how come I haven't seen it before?" sort of realizations. |
| Apr 25 15:47:00 | 5m 00s | Kamikaze Planet | I loved how the broken glass stopped movement. That led to some pretty intense situations, where I was blasting through my own buildings TO SAVE MY WORLD. =D |
| Apr 25 15:48:00 | 1m 00s | Snow Globe Kerfuffle | I loved how the broken glass stopped movement. That led to some pretty intense situations, where I was blasting through my own buildings TO SAVE MY WORLD. =D |
| Apr 25 15:58:00 | 10m 00s | The Good Ship Higgs Boson | Fantastic puzzle design and controls. I can't believe this is a 48 hour game! |
| Apr 25 16:00:00 | 2m 00s | Redeye | I liked how destroying bottom parts of the buildings made the rest fall down. |
| Apr 25 17:08:00 | 1h 08m | Core Buster | Good stuff for 48 hours! A little time for polish (the "hit things in front of you" bug") and progression would make this really awesome! |
| Apr 25 17:16:00 | 8m 00s | Tiny World War | You've got a neat little game packed in here. Love the color commentary. =) |
| Apr 28 00:34:00 | 55h 18m | Fracuum | Amazing. One of the most memorable LD23 games I've played thus far. Heck, one of the most memorable games I've played this year! |
| Apr 28 00:37:00 | 3m 00s | Kill Drill | Some of the best color composition I've seen in LD23, and of course the graphics are gorgeous! Love the "playground rubber ball" sound effect when kicking a drillbot in the behind. Nice! |
| Apr 28 00:47:00 | 10m 00s | Defend My World | Tough! Wanted to see more of the story. Nice work! |
| Apr 28 00:53:00 | 6m 00s | Microscopia | *high five* |
