| Apr 24 15:17:00 | ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING | This was... Quite interesting, and indeed a great accomplishment in 48 hours. I finished with I can't remember how many points (over 70,000) and I had all the stars. <br/> <br/>I'll get what I didn't like out of the way first: I'm not sure if it's the game or my computer, but the gameplay was pretty slow, and also I thought the first part was kinda boring, having to wait for the ant all the time (but it was cool being on the ant when I was and had nothing else to do). And the game was pretty easy - all I did was run in one direction while mashing S, most of the time. <br/> <br/>Now what I did like: I like the way the ant interacts with the enemies. I thought that was done well. I liked there being computers to destroy along the way, and stars to collect. This was a very satisfying excuse for making the ant walk slow. I shot every computer (and enemy) in the game, I think. The graphics and sound, I don't really have much to say about, although they do indeed add to the game, and not subtract. They are well suiting. I also didn't get bored of the audio track looping, even though it was a short loop. And the end, for me, wasn't laughable, but it was engaging, and I did smile when the cat killed the guy. Also, this is just my assumption, which could be wrong, but I thought it was also cool how (seeemingly) the computer system (sorry, I've forgotten names >_<) was freeing itself from the control of the boss-human, by killing him with an operation the boss endorsed, so that it was free to be it's own boss, I guess, and do whatever it wanted. But I could have just interpreted that whole situation incorrectly in your favour, lol. <br/> <br/>Overall, its a pretty good submission. I expect you to make it into the top end of the spectrum again. :) | |
| Apr 25 05:03:00 | 13h 46m | Ra Ra | The game does lag my computer when (I think) the planets are traveling fast and wide; the start of each match always has no lag. Also, It would have been awesome to have a single player mode, even though the fun does lie in the multiplayer aspect. <br/> <br/>I liked the expressions! Also, I liked how when player 1 wins, he has a sad face, almost as if to say "okay little brother, I'm kind of bored of beating you now!" as apposed to when player 2 wins and it's like "Haha I'm better than my older brother!". Did you do this on purpose? <br/> <br/>Pretty awesome, man! |
| Apr 26 12:23:00 | 31h 20m | Fusion Time! | I played it a few times until I (think I) was starting to get it. Ended up getting a score of 1155 after a while. Not a bad entry, but as previously mentioned, it felt kind of random when and how you got game over, and, I didn't even know there was a ring around the cursor, so it must have been 'nearly invisible' as Raptor85 said. Aside from these, it's an interesting concept that could be expanded upon and refined into something addictive, and also the music was catchy. |
| Apr 26 12:39:00 | 16m 00s | Eidolic New World | Interesting game. Reminds me of Rush. Would have liked a Restart level button, and also pressing space after Q generates robots on the black screen with text! The music was fitting, and this could have really been turned into something. Not a bad first entry. Keep it up! |
| Apr 27 07:32:00 | 18h 53m | The Elves end the Shoemaker | Damn, that was good. Really simple, but effective little thing. :) And the concept, haha. Those elves are ruthless, man. Also, I miss-read the title as "The Elves and the Shoemaker", which I'm glad I un-miss-read before playing, because it's a good title, hehe. |
| Apr 29 09:30:00 | 49h 58m | ONLY US | Not bad at all. I do very much like your graphics. :) |
| May 2 10:56:00 | 73h 26m | Apocalypse Inc. | Not bad. Not bad at all. Would have been good to have the score currently on the screen. I thought it was a little easy though, I could go on for ages (and it was addictive enough to do so). |
| May 2 11:53:00 | 57m 00s | Small World Survivalist | Interesting game. It would have been nice to have a more deadlier atmosphere worthy of "Survival" being in the title, and for the movement to be a little smoother. You had something going there, but I think you spent too much time making it presentable, over making the gameplay smooth. You can definitely win over love with a well working game that has boxes as graphics (ever played a game called Boxes? haha). Keep it up, we'll see what you crank out next time. :) |
| May 2 11:58:00 | 5m 00s | Tiny Epic | Same error as pythong. |
| May 2 12:10:00 | 12m 00s | Tiny crap | Not bad. And, I dunno, I didn't really find it difficult like the other comments. I think with survival games it's less about difficulty anyway, so it didn't bother me. I'm impressed with the presentation of this game, and it felt smooth to play. And man, that is one ugly fish! |
| May 2 12:24:00 | 14m 00s | Tiny Maze Speedrun | Holy crap. I'm surprised my guy still has a bladder. 214.43 on Medium. |
| May 5 11:19:00 | 70h 55m | Angle Isle | Mmm, a nice 'feel good' game. The simple music track was catchy and effective, and fitted the graphics. |
| May 5 11:39:00 | 20m 00s | Cruel space | Amazing graphics, not as amazing gameplay. Very well presented. |
| May 5 11:56:00 | 17m 00s | Shipwrecked | Would have been better played with the arrow keys, I think, or WASD if the mouse was really needed. Although the controls at the moment make it feel kind of like a virtual board game... Not sure if that's good or bad, but it could pass as one. Interesting. I'm sure that with a little bit of polish and refinement, this entry would have really shone. Not bad, keep it up! |
| May 5 12:56:00 | 1h 00m | Microscopia | "Awesome." :) |
| May 12 10:17:00 | 165h 21m | Polarity | I felt the physics could have been improved upon a tad. I did beat the game though, so it wasn't frustrating or anything. Just felt sometimes it didn't respond the way I thought it would or should. Otherwise, great idea and great result. It's a shame there was no sound. |
| May 13 12:05:00 | 25h 48m | Mini-Worlds and Monocles | Wish I had some sexy pants. Well, I do, but... It would be nice to have some that don't show my hairy legs. MOVING ON... <br/> <br/>This game was, gameplay-wise, so-so. This game, in every other aspect, was pretty good. It was nice to see such audio variety. The text was funny. Very gentlemanly. The game had a lot of graphical variety too. My main complaint is just that as the levels got bigger, the game got laggier. Although the framerate did level out as I saved more of the poor little things. Also, the enemies served as no threat to me whatsoever - I actually used them to get up to high locations easier and just hit the arrow key opposite where I wanted to go to make it there. :P <br/> <br/>You will probably beat me this time, Zed (cause, you know, we tied last LD48), but the main thing is that we both think we are getting better! Somehow! To future rivalry~ *raises tea*. |
| May 13 12:19:00 | 14m 00s | Ok...Now this is akward! | Rather interesting. As boring as the <guy> was, this was pretty intriguing to sit through! and it made me smile. |
| May 13 13:01:00 | 42m 00s | I Refuse | Interesting. Main complaint from me is YOU DRIVE SO SLOW, lol. I also found it rather unintuitive that you have to drive through houses to collect their garbage (even though that's pretty cool, as Scott implies), or rather, that you are forced to drive through grass to collect garbage. It would have been nice for them to leave their trash out on the road if they lived by one, because as it is, it was faster and cheaper to just make a line of houses with no road. It will be interesting to see what you can come up with for next LD48. Be sure to come back and blow us away. :) |
