| Apr 23 04:17:00 | Pico Planets | Really liked the idea. Would love to see an expanded version of that with more levels and sound. <br/> <br/>It can be hard to keep orientation sometimes I think some sort of compass always pointing north or something would be great. Another cool feature would be to have a reset level key for guys like me who end up in the middle of nowhere routinely and have to wait til the oxygen runs out :) | |
| Apr 23 04:23:00 | 6m 00s | Maru | Took me a while to figure out how direction is determined by the position of the cloud. But it is great now that I got that down. <br/> <br/>I really like the look and feel of the game. Looks very coherent and polished. |
| Apr 23 04:30:00 | 7m 00s | Grow! | I like the basic idea behind it and the innovative control scheme. Definitely tricky if you have a lack of hand-eye coordination like me :). Liked the background music a lot as well. <br/> <br/>Unfortunately it feels a little unfinished right now (no score, end of game, etc.). |
| Apr 24 01:16:00 | 20h 46m | Furaingu Ki | Liked the relaxing background music and overall concept/game play. Movement of the planet is a bit too predictable. <br/> <br/>Gets you hooked though. Especially after johnfn announced his high score and I desperately tried breaking it without success :) |
| Apr 24 01:24:00 | 8m 00s | Under the Glass | I liked it, very relaxing game and nice background music. The fact that you're not really knowing which direction you're exactly headed needs some getting used to but makes it more interesting and challenging in the long run. <br/> <br/>I agree with Beanalby that the cell-thingies (baddie?) on the edge get frustrating. Would be cool if there could be some sort of indicator on the edge that a cell will spawn at a point soon. |
| Apr 24 01:39:00 | 15m 00s | Pocket Strife | Really great concept and in a good shape for a 48h dev time. Would like to see a more expanded version of it. Real tough AI making it really challenging. |
| Apr 24 01:47:00 | 8m 00s | Skully's Microscopic World | Loved Phil's voice. Shazam! (btw. shazam is defined by urbandictionary as "Exclamatory phrase used when striking an unsuspecting victim in the genitalia with a foreign apparatus such as a back scratcher or a crow bar." :D) <br/> <br/>As you can't seem to win it it would be cool if there was a score so you could at least battle for the highest one. |
| Apr 24 01:58:00 | 11m 00s | Trucking the Universe | Took a few attempts but I finally got home with my brewskis after defeating the evil worm thingie :) <br/> <br/>Real cool concept. Had a blast playing it. |
| Apr 24 02:09:00 | 11m 00s | This Town (ABEFTTOU) | Cool concept. Really tough game tough. I tried at least 20 times and couldn't shoot the damn other guy once. I really like the hand-drawn graphical style of it too. |
| Apr 24 02:22:00 | 13m 00s | Cube World | Cool game play concept. I think this could be a great game on a smartphone if you rotate the world based on the device orientation. Reminds me a lot on www.andyetitmoves.net/ |
| Apr 24 02:30:00 | 8m 00s | Sword of Altaria | Nice game. Reminds me of some old school games like Ultima. |
| Apr 24 03:27:00 | 57m 00s | Tinyville Confidential | Like the concept, especially some of the Tinyville Confidential news ("had an embarrassing spat about Star Wars vs. Star Trek" :D). It's a pity that you didn't get around to add winning condition or negative points for enemies next to each other. |
| Apr 24 03:36:00 | 9m 00s | Wulcan | Great game! Love the background music. Mind me asking what tool you used for it? Difficulty levels would be nice though as it gets real hard after reaching ~1000. Really enjoyed playing it |
| Apr 24 04:11:00 | 35m 00s | Bright Worlds | Cool little platformer. Nice idea with the lighting scenario. Game seems a little laggy on Windows 7 64-bit even though I tested on an i7 and none of the cores are over 50% utilizations. Can't seem to get the BG music out of my head now either :) |
| Apr 24 04:21:00 | 10m 00s | Big Space Tiny Man | Cool idea. A pity that you didn't get around to finish it. The animations of the little dudes are awesome. |
| Apr 24 04:26:00 | 5m 00s | Crash Effect | Nice little space game. Love the Mass Effect parody (still can't get over the part 3 ending...). Really hard to control though. Would be cool if you could see in which direction your thruster fires at the moment. |
| Apr 24 04:35:00 | 9m 00s | These are your Friends | Nice animation of the lady (love the subtle wrist movement when she pinches). Really hard to survive if you don't just pick the boat up in the beginning which seems to stop the red guys from disembarking. |
| Apr 24 04:50:00 | 15m 00s | Dr. Nano - tiny surgeon | Nice complete shoot'em up. Sounds feel very coherent. Game runs smooth and and fast for me. Reminds me of the good old "Metal Slug" days :) <br/> <br/>Gonna use Dr. Nano for some practice and then dig out some of those again. |
| Apr 24 05:35:00 | 45m 00s | Nook | Great game with amazing level of polish! <br/> <br/>Not sure if Emscripten is feasible for HTML5 game development though. >15k LOC seems pretty heavy for a game like this. Runs really slow on Chrome 18 on an i7. <br/> <br/>Maybe Mozilla can fix those performance issues but I would bet on wide spread availability of Google's Native Client before that. NaCl at least seems to be lightyears ahead in performance |
| Apr 24 05:59:00 | 24m 00s | Lost Oxide | Nice game. Graphically one of the best LDs I have seen so far. Looks very similar to the screenshot of Cliffrunner from your page at http://sidetrackgames.wordpress.com/games/ |
| Apr 25 01:33:00 | 19h 34m | NANO M.D. | Nice little shoot-em up with good controls. Gets really hard once the worm like bacterias show up. |
| Apr 25 01:49:00 | 16m 00s | Only Your Home | Nice little text adventure. Haven't played one of those in ages. Time to dig out zork again :) |
| Apr 25 02:14:00 | 25m 00s | Tondie and Zupe | Awwesome game with a great control scheme. Got me hooked from the beinning and I played through the complete game. Great job! |
| Apr 25 04:33:00 | 2h 19m | Sirus the Virus | Solid platformer with nice innovative game mechanics. Definitely needs some difficulty tweaking but otherwise awesome |
| Apr 27 02:26:00 | 45h 53m | muniverse | Very complex game mechanics for a 48h game. I am impressed. Controls are a little frustrating from time to time. Watching the repo to see what's coming |
| Apr 27 02:31:00 | 5m 00s | Kid's Wars | Cool concept. Don't know why but the fast-paced style reminded me on Z. Great job! |
| Apr 27 02:45:00 | 14m 00s | My Little Dungeon | Great game! Gets a bit repetitive after some time but the concept is awesome. I really enjoyed playing it. |
| Apr 27 02:51:00 | 6m 00s | Predicament | Awesome little puzzler. Really like the artwork. |
| Apr 27 02:55:00 | 4m 00s | Laser Coin Planets | Fun little game. A proper HUD with health, etc. would be nice. Enjoyed playing it. |
| Apr 27 03:01:00 | 6m 00s | LittlePlanetBigRocket | Nice concept for a puzzler. The red guys make it a bit frustrating though. |
| Apr 27 03:10:00 | 9m 00s | Earth Is Dying! | Nice concept. Would love to see that expanded. It's hard to keep track of all the planets there should be some kind of global overview. |
| Apr 27 03:23:00 | 13m 00s | Block Bros | Nice little game. Progresses a little slow and gets repetitive after a while. Maybe add some more game play mechanics. |
| Apr 27 03:46:00 | 23m 00s | Spaceships: Origins | Awesome little space shooter! Loved the background music. |
| Apr 28 01:20:00 | 21h 34m | Tiny World Peace | Nice concept but there are some balancing issues. Things are moving so fast that it is pretty much impossible to deflect stuff. |
| Apr 28 01:51:00 | 31m 00s | Tiny World Civiliaztions | Good overall idea. After setting up some trades/wars though the game feels more like a computer model simulation than a game. I like though that you went with a strategy game. I think those are very hard to get done within such a short time. |
| Apr 28 02:06:00 | 15m 00s | Tiny World Cardgame | Very polished and nice UI and innovative game play. Very complex for a LD game. Really enjoyed it. |
| Apr 28 02:12:00 | 6m 00s | Lost | Nice little platformer. I like the minimalistic pixel graphics. Enjoyed playing it. |
| Apr 28 02:25:00 | 13m 00s | Crystalbots | Cool little shoot'em up. Like the upgrade system. Made it to wave 17. But those little UFO thingies are tough. Enjoyed playing it. |
| Apr 28 17:02:00 | 14h 37m | Dreamworld | I like the concept and some of the artwork. It's a pity that it's in a bit of an unfinished state. |
| Apr 28 17:09:00 | 7m 00s | ToastBiome | Fits the theme nicely, good idea. Controls are getting stuck a lot though. Nice audio and graphics. |
| Apr 28 17:16:00 | 7m 00s | Nom Nom Planet | Really like the style of the monsters. Enjoyed playing it. Can get really tricky to coordinate moving and shooting but it's nicely balanced. |
| Apr 28 17:25:00 | 9m 00s | Tiny world survival | Love the fast-paced pixel style. The rain makes it pretty tricky to see your shots in the beginning. Enjoyed playing it. |
| Apr 28 17:31:00 | 6m 00s | GRIDiots | Love the mood and setting of this one. Kind of like Tron meets Minecraft. Would like to see an expanded post-compo version of this one. |
| Apr 29 23:14:00 | 29h 43m | Hive | Nice little defense game. Controls are a bit tricky. Really liked the background music. |
| Apr 29 23:31:00 | 17m 00s | TinyBoxes | Nice little puzzler. Sokoban with some nice little extra touches to it. I am impressed by the amount of levels for a 48h game. |
| Apr 29 23:35:00 | 4m 00s | GutsyBot vs the Universe | Like the little defense game. I feel like it needs analogue controls tough. The way it is setup it gets really tricky to aim at incoming guys from a distance. |
| Apr 29 23:49:00 | 14m 00s | Primordial Smackdown: Bacteria with Badditude | Takes a while to master the controls but is fun once you got it figured out. Once the first boss thingie shows up (screenshot 2) it pushes me off the screen regularly tough which gets pretty annoying |
| Apr 29 23:59:00 | 10m 00s | 25 Rooms | Nice concept. Plays a bit like Scotland Yard (the board game) on crack :). Managed to win twice :) |
| Apr 30 00:09:00 | 10m 00s | Bottled Worlds | Really nice platformer. Enjoyed playing. It's a bit hard, but that might just be because I suck at platformers :) |
| Apr 30 00:25:00 | 16m 00s | Twice Upon A Time | Love the art style and time travel idea. Couldn't figure out what to do after I recharged the drill and fixed the panel in the future. |
| Apr 30 00:30:00 | 5m 00s | Chisana Saga | Nice complete RPG. Amazing that you pulled that off in 48h. Reminds me off the old Zelda's or FF's. |
| Apr 30 00:46:00 | 16m 00s | Burning Platform | Nice little game. The line concept reminded me on Chalk Ball. The tilt controls and short lived lines can get pretty frustrating sometimes tough. |
| Apr 30 00:58:00 | 12m 00s | Spaceways | Really polished nice game. Might need a tutorial but it's awesome otherwise. One of the best LD's for sure. |
| Apr 30 16:06:00 | 15h 08m | World runner | Nice little runner game. But holy smoke the guy is fast! I was thinking of editing the JS to slow it down :) |
| May 5 07:16:00 | 111h 10m | AdventuresInTinyWorld | Nice little point-to-point platformer. Controls are pretty hard to get used to. |
| May 5 07:22:00 | 6m 00s | tiny hostile world | Agree with the previous reviewers. A little of that extra polish could make it a really addicting game. |
| May 5 07:29:00 | 7m 00s | Tiny World - Tiny Bits | Nice little innovative platformer. The controls and collision detection are a little lacking but I really like the basic concept of the zombie collecting his body parts. The zombie sounds were also really cool |
| May 5 07:45:00 | 16m 00s | Honey Heist | Nice game concept! Only made it to Level 5. Couldn'd make it to the labyrinth anymore. Controls could use some fine tuning but otherwise great game. |
| May 5 11:34:00 | 3h 49m | The Lair | Nice, solid platformer for 48h. Collision detection with enemies is a bit shaky and it feels like gravity is too low. |
| May 5 11:39:00 | 5m 00s | Unusable Man and the Orbs of Exponential Growth | Nice game concept! Really enjoyed playing it. Had to turn off the music after 1 min though as it was driving me crazy... |
| May 5 11:42:00 | 3m 00s | Tiny Resolution | Nice little platformer. Could use some more levels. I liked the retro graphics style of it. |
| May 5 11:53:00 | 11m 00s | NaMa Tek | Amazingly complex and polished game for 48h. Tricky to get started with but it really got me hooked. |
| May 5 11:58:00 | 5m 00s | Cyberoid | Loved the bass of the music got me really pumped up :). Controls are a little tricky. But overall real nice game. |
| May 5 12:05:00 | 7m 00s | Finding Yourself | I suck at platformers so it was way too hard for me. Gameplay feels very smooth and complete thanks to double jump and dash. |
| May 6 23:08:00 | 35h 03m | Tiny Kitty Harem Hero | Cool little game. Loved the animation when the black cat gets hit. Could need some sort of score keeping. <br/> <br/>I also feel quite dizzy now after defending kittens for a while. Too many rockets flying around in circles :) |
| May 6 23:14:00 | 6m 00s | GERMS: A Ghost Story | Cool idea with the nose. Took me a while to figure out that I need to charge (should have read the damn instructions). The breathing background noise creeped me out after a while though :) |
| May 6 23:28:00 | 14m 00s | so small | Fun little point and click adventure. Creeped me a bit out from time to time but I enjoyed playing through it. GQ definitely needs some therapy... |
| May 6 23:41:00 | 13m 00s | Mini-Worlds and Monocles | Awesome platformer! Loved the artstyle and the combination of the recorded sound effects and background music. Really enjoyed playing through it. Great job. |
| May 6 23:48:00 | 7m 00s | IÄTI | Nice little game. Really enjoyed it. Interesting combination of Tetris and puzzle game. |
| May 6 23:54:00 | 6m 00s | Lauch a rocket | Managed to get it in the air and then floated through some screens with description but didn't really get what to do from there on. |
| May 7 16:34:00 | 16h 40m | Nasty Bubbly - 72 Hour JAM Entry | Nice, fun game. It feels very polished and finished. Really enjoyed playing it. |
| May 8 05:11:00 | 12h 37m | Jack Primus and the Adventure of Tiny Things | Solid entry for the first time. I was a bit disappointed of the gameplay after the lengthy intro. Maybe focus on gameplay and a complete experience (sounds, fx, etc.) more next time. |
| May 8 05:22:00 | 11m 00s | Watercolour | Really enjoyed playing it. Controls, art style, animations and music all seem to be very polished and complete. Amazing work for a 48h game. I felt lost though and didn't really get the purpose of the game. |
| May 8 05:41:00 | 19m 00s | Affinity World | Nice innovative concept. Really enjoyed playing it. Screwed up the first time. Got to 3 friends the 2nd time but don't know how to progress further. Couldn't close the application properly either. I had to use the task manager to kill it. |
| May 9 01:50:00 | 20h 09m | Out for arrest | Needed to fail once and see the tip with the red dots before actually figuring this out. Great game. Scrolling can get frustrating sometimes and the red dots are a bit tiny. But it's a nice innovative concept. |
| May 9 01:57:00 | 7m 00s | The Tiny World of Pixels | The pixelverse is a great idea. It's a pity that you ran out of time and had to rush the implementation of individual levels. Still enjoyed playing it. |
| May 9 05:12:00 | 3h 15m | AquaWars | Nice relaxing game. Played for a while but it doesn't seem to speed up so you can't lose. Really nice and polished graphics. |
| May 9 05:18:00 | 6m 00s | Serendipity with Cubes | Needed a while to figure out how to connect the cubes. After that it was still very hard though. Very tricky to foresee the impact of a move. |
| May 9 05:24:00 | 6m 00s | Flatlands | Interesting game concept. All starting tiles (they're always all of the same type for me) and the win condition seem to be hardcoded so it gets repetitive. I would like to play an expanded more polished version of it. |
| May 9 05:29:00 | 5m 00s | OSC: Dawn | Interesting concept. Just seems very short. Played through in like 30 sec or is there supposed to be more things happening after parking in the zone. |
| May 9 05:38:00 | 9m 00s | Invasion Of Tiny World | Nice innovative robot game. Really enjoyed playing it. Very complete and polished. |
| May 10 01:15:00 | 19h 37m | Escape this Tiny World Alone | I played the version under Linux and you have some issues with case-sensitive resource names. I had to rename Propane.png to propane.png and Death.mp3 to death.mp3 to get it working correctly. Be sure to check that more carefully next time. <br/> <br/>Otherwise nice little game. Enjoyed playing it. |
| May 10 21:40:00 | 20h 25m | Cracked | Great concept. Really enjoyed the animations. Though the first levels seem trivial it gets really challenging later on. |
