|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 23 13:03:00 | Lost Oxide | Visually very attractive, but for me it's too frustrating to play. I have up after a while, couldn't finish | |
| Apr 23 13:19:00 | 16m 00s | Swift | Good idea, but slow movement speed makes it pain to play. I wasn't able to get by the big head. No matter how I tried, I never could get to third plus sign to grow big enough :/ |
| Apr 23 13:28:00 | 9m 00s | These are your Friends | Nice mechanics, but nothing that would engage me to play it longer... unless I've missed something? All I can do is pick red guys and throw them down... <br/>As TenTonToon said, nice IK :) |
| Apr 23 21:12:00 | 7h 44m | Matrix Creatrix | Very interesting concept (4 stars for innovation), as a logical puzzle it's not bad. Currently it's not that interesting to play more, but it's a concept which could be (maybe) expanded into something good. |
| Apr 23 21:17:00 | 5m 00s | Glue Galaxy Rescue! | Good one. Very good music, not bad game idea, played several times :) |
| Apr 23 21:26:00 | 9m 00s | Tondie and Zupe | Excellent piece (and I normally HATE jumping games). Good idea , nice fitting art and story. <br/> <br/>It hanged after a while in chrome, I don't know why... Just stopped responding at all, like it would stop receiving timing. |
| Apr 23 21:32:00 | 6m 00s | World Gone Wrong | I seriously dislike games based on trial and error. It's essentially a maze game with limited view and serious time limit. Points for trying to spice it up with emergency teleporter and limited wall removal, but the basis of try and hope you'll reach the exit isn't fun (at least for me) |
| Apr 23 22:15:00 | 43m 00s | A Theft of Mass | Not bad. Not bad at all. Since you've added upgrades, it forced me to play almost to the end, even if slow flying back and not much of a challenge except controls (which I found simple and that's strange, because I usually have problems with diffuculty of LD games others say are easy). <br/>Didn't finish though... Bought the core device something, but I couldnt find out how to steal the core and in the end burned in it. |
| Apr 23 22:45:00 | 30m 00s | [Darkness Creeping] | I'm sorry, I really tried, but I just couldn't find the cockroach. Even in dark room with secondary monitor switched off all I can see is red lock and i kinda can recognize some bars and ground... couldn't find cockroach, couldn't play (mouse look is INCREDIBLY slow on my machine no matter what I've done). Won't rate for now, but unless I find a way to actually see something.... |
| Apr 24 11:51:00 | 13h 06m | Tiny Maze Speedrun | Congratulation for your first game... better luck in next LD, hopefully with something better then just simple maze :) |
| Apr 24 11:52:00 | 1m 00s | CastleMania | Good idea with arrows returning back down as it reduces tendences to just spam shot. |
| Apr 24 11:55:00 | 3m 00s | Crumble | Not bad herding game. |
| Apr 24 12:02:00 | 7m 00s | Lighthouse | If not for comments bellow, I probably woulnd't find out that buttons can be pressed by mouse, i thought it's another platform and was getting frustrated how to get to it... <br/> <br/>After finding this i found the game usually either easy or unplayable ;) (some levels doesn't seem winable, I had to reset). <br/> <br/>Overall: very good |
| Apr 24 12:09:00 | 7m 00s | Brevity | Interesting take on tower defense. Good use of theme. |
| Apr 24 12:14:00 | 5m 00s | Grow | Interesting, but giving player a bit more instructions would be nice. Also rotation of the planet is very counterintuitive. |
| Apr 24 12:17:00 | 3m 00s | Macro Marines | Good idea, but it's suprisingly hard to get into the game. Bookmarked, will try again later. |
| Apr 24 12:37:00 | 20m 00s | Deconstructorium | Excellent piece, best so far for me. But I wasn't able to finish as I just found no way to get through any adamantium level. Even with speed and force on max I can break only through one level variant and after leaving the purple field my characters gets stuck vertically... |
| Apr 24 13:41:00 | 1h 04m | In Delusion | Not much of a game, but I really like it :) Too bad it's not a bit longer.... <br/> <br/>Slow movement is agonizing, but I understand why... with fast movement it would be done in 30 seconds. |
| Apr 24 14:26:00 | 45m 00s | Chromatic Breeding | Good idea! Found it bit too hard thanks to the full spectre of colors, but won anyway in the end. <br/>Very good entry, this calls for postcompo version! |
| Apr 24 16:51:00 | 2h 25m | Tinyville Confidential | I like the concept and art is nice, but I have serious problem judging who and what and where... My monitor is quite huge, I have no idea how to enlarge swf file which is not embedded and in the end, icons in the night are quite hard to distinguish. <br/> <br/>Otherwise good, one of those entries which could be used as a basis for something bigger. |
| Apr 24 17:38:00 | 47m 00s | Tiny Garden | Very good (I was considering something like this too, so it MUST be good idea :D). <br/>But there are few buts - naming is annoying, way to win is spam as much stuff as you can, it lacks gameplay a bit later, with nothing much to do. Anyway, rating high... are you going to work more on this? It reminds me good old simearth :) |
| Apr 24 17:42:00 | 4m 00s | Poor Pluto's Revenge | Nice concept, although the game is far too simple. But one of the best entries so far anyway. |
| Apr 24 17:45:00 | 3m 00s | Single Cycles | As one button games go, this one is clearly the best... COuldn't test with anyone, so played my left hand against my right, damn right won every time :/ |
| Apr 24 17:48:00 | 3m 00s | Little boy controls american Drone | Very nice visuals and sounds with very simple, yet still quite fun gameplay. Too bad there wasn't more |
| Apr 24 17:58:00 | 10m 00s | Invasion Of The Trivials | Pretty simplistic FPS, but fun to play. You should probably move respawn points a bit farther, this way respawn usually got me right into the middle of the balls. |
| Apr 24 18:06:00 | 8m 00s | ARACHNID | Very good! Nice art, excellent music, quite innovative gameplay. Could use some more possibilites (maybe I missed something, I gave up with score about 25). About the only thing I disliked was the "clunkiness" of the controls while moving on the webbing or on thin stick, spider allways moved for a while into falling mode, it was bad to control... maybe moving spider after a fall more to the center of the stick would help? |
| Apr 24 18:26:00 | 20m 00s | Angstrom | First impression was very good, but similarly to other reviewers i found controls extremely clunky. What REALLy annoyed me was that I had to "listen" to dialogues every time i had to retry. I got stuck on the level with red cell "boss", unable to kill it or do anything else. Gave up after about ten tries. I'd like to finish it, but it was just too annoying :/ <br/> <br/>GOOD: art (althout character movements don't look that good), mood <br/> <br/>BAD: controls (getting stuck to walls, some times it stopped responding at all, inability to shoot backwards), inability to skip dialogues, pretty forced level endings. <br/> <br/>Overall quite good despite the controls. |
| Apr 24 18:48:00 | 22m 00s | 9Lives | Several very small games, actually so tiny it's hard to see. Cute, but a little bigger would help (I almost gave up in first platformer level because I had problems to see that the ground has holes). |
| Apr 24 18:53:00 | 5m 00s | Hungry Ants | Doesn't work (tried in both chrome and firefox). Hangs after burning ants and showing menu. |
| Apr 24 18:59:00 | 6m 00s | Synthesis | Great concepts for a game (not just for chemists)! I spent few minutes trying to get ethanol :) |
| Apr 24 19:10:00 | 11m 00s | Redbeard the Borrower | It's the best jam game I've tried, congratulation. Reminded me that old DOS adventure game based on Kafka. If not for the reallly really annoying camera (you should just gave us mouselook) and ocassionally human spotting me out of his ass (probably) it would have been perfect. <br/>Well... maybe except for the sounds :) "music" was nerve grating |
| Apr 24 19:46:00 | 36m 00s | I want to turn the heater on | Interesting concept, although I had serious problems getting to the end (until I found i can walk behing Miguel thus solving the problem with putting stuff on the plate. |
| Apr 24 21:53:00 | 2h 07m | Rat Conquest | it would have been actually pretty good game if not for the incredible slowness of movement... it gets boring really fast. |
| Apr 24 21:58:00 | 5m 00s | Puny World | Great audio helping to create a nice mood, but it's not much of a game... shooting for a while then win. better luck next time. |
| Apr 24 22:07:00 | 9m 00s | Tinyverse | Simple, but effective idea, could be really improved into something bigger. <br/>The song is really excellent but I hesitate to rate it as five stars since it's not your work... but it's not against jam rules, so I'll rate it anyway (say for picking good tune) |
| Apr 24 22:13:00 | 6m 00s | Solar Sailor | Controls are bit too sensitive. Good idea, but it's extremely minimalistic. |
| Apr 24 22:18:00 | 5m 00s | Epic Scale Warfare | I'm not sure I get it... It seems like a noninteractive (with the exception of the tutorial) one screen message that people are killed in the war... |
| Apr 24 22:38:00 | 20m 00s | The Little Glitch | I don't get the keypad code puzzle (even after I found it in the unity source project). <br/>I rate it as good, art creates nice mood, I would love to see something more (i was hoping for more puzzles and levels, this is bit too short...) |
| Apr 24 23:08:00 | 30m 00s | Wild West World | Good idea with lasso, it made the game much better. |
| Apr 24 23:14:00 | 6m 00s | The Lump World | If that audio was intentional, you'd deserve zero rating :/ <br/> <br/>Also, when you made flash game, why don't you post it somewhere online so we don't have to download and extract it? even dropbox would be enough. |
| Apr 24 23:21:00 | 7m 00s | I Should Clean My Keyboard | You know, after that glorious intro I've expected a bit more :/ <br/>But good anyway and first game i'm rating 5 for humor (for the arrow heressy!) |
| Apr 24 23:23:00 | 2m 00s | Boundaries | Good idea, as others said, too simplistic execution. Let's see you shine next time :) |
| Apr 24 23:27:00 | 4m 00s | Galactic Messenger | Controlls are killing it :/ <br/>I've tried to play for a while, but directions given once in some strange units, with a hard to remember planet name... |
| Apr 25 00:25:00 | 58m 00s | Macronauts, Go! | You know, this could actually be very very good game. Very nice twist on classical burst bubble game, but why is it sooooo sloooooooooooooow? Clicking... then waiting approximately ten seconds before I'll get another turn... I gave up soon after "friend" showed up, just didn't have patience for it :/ |
| Apr 25 00:32:00 | 7m 00s | Nanonaut | Excellent audio, fitting art, creating nice mood. I could easily imagine how good this could be... <br/>Sadly since in current state all you can do is randomly wander dimensions (I've tried about ten or more, never found any data) and you can't do much more then fight with monsters and enjoy mood.... If the actual combat would be better (clunky controls, shooting possible only while standing, making it really hard to kill some of the monsters and in not very challenging way) I'd probably stay at it more. <br/>Nevertheless, I'm really looking forward to postcompo version. |
| Apr 25 00:36:00 | 4m 00s | Smallworld Survival | Is there something else to do then just spam buildings with food? <br/>It really looks more like a very simple prototype of something more (and probably too complicated for LD game :). In current state there's not a lot of reasons to play it. |
| Apr 25 00:42:00 | 6m 00s | (Tiny) Worlds of Illusion | You know... this is one of the wtf games :) At first I thought that it's just a very simple shooter, then the illusion thing broke into my brain... <br/> <br/>I love games that mess with people's mind :) even if this is not much of a game, it deserves high rates :) |
| Apr 25 00:50:00 | 8m 00s | Tiny Adventures In SPACE | All right, ending was a plus. The only one. This was pretty boring, with gameplay mostly consisting of staring blankly at the screen and occasionally dodging or picking stuff. Try to do something more engaging next time (I almost quit before the end, started to tell myself to forget about this after third planet). |
| Apr 25 00:57:00 | 7m 00s | The Big Bang | Great concept, although I had some troubles to understand what I have to do, even when you've provided information :) And I really wasn't able to find out how to complete the second level :/ |
| Apr 25 01:05:00 | 8m 00s | The Tiny Gryphalope | Great art + music, excellent final mood. Game is... bit lacking. Too slow movement, not much to do. |
| Apr 25 01:12:00 | 7m 00s | Professor Squeaks: The Circuitous Escape! | Nice idea, too bad that controls are quite user unfriendly :/ Both platformer and puzzle part could use better controls. |
| Apr 25 01:16:00 | 4m 00s | Astrosurf | Good idea, but I would really suggest making default zoom larger... (it would really help with hints I've too missed at first. |
| Apr 25 01:39:00 | 23m 00s | My Little Planetoid | Good concept, good game which is hurt by the controls :/ moving cursor to building button rotates planetoid away... <br/>it reminds me one sf indie strategy game I player year or to ago... can't remember the name :) |
| Apr 25 19:39:00 | 18h 00m | Teeming | Excellent piece! |
| Apr 25 19:55:00 | 16m 00s | An Hell Of A Kitchen | For 48 hours you're supposed to use only your own assets created during the compo. If you've drawn the anger face and photographed the kitchen, I apologize. Otherwise it's against the rules. |
| Apr 25 22:59:00 | 3h 04m | Free Donutia | Great! Wasn't able to win, died once, gave up second time because I had problems to keep cities occupied. <br/> <br/>There are just few minor problems, sticky collision, too repetetive short music, maybe some balancing to make game a bit more playable. Any other improvements from my wishlist go beyond the scope of the LD :) |
| Apr 25 23:55:00 | 56m 00s | To What a Mountain? | Heh, glad to see that I'm not the only one who put some "mature" stuff in the LD :) <br/>Yeah, gameplay mostly sucks, but it really is funny. Extra points for the postmortem in verses :) |
| Apr 26 11:55:00 | 12h 00m | Tiny Civ | Bit too hard to judge when playing my left hand against my hard hand, but this really seems like a great idea :) <br/>I could go on, but Mattchu said all of I would :) |
| Apr 26 12:54:00 | 59m 00s | Tinysasters | I'm amazed! All around one of the best games so far. Hope you'll be enhancing it more. |
| Apr 26 21:34:00 | 8h 40m | Itty-bitty botty | It would be pretty good if some of the actions would have more sense (like that red ribbon can be taken only after taking sword - when I clicked on the doll and nothing happened i just ignored it and couldn't find a way after using sword). This is needlessly complicating game (and making it annoying). |
| Apr 26 21:37:00 | 3m 00s | ANT SURF HERO: THE SURFENING | Pretty good platformer greatly enhanced by addition of your noble steed. |
| Apr 26 21:42:00 | 5m 00s | Housefly | Excellent! This is one of very very few games I've recommended to people outside the community. |
| Apr 26 21:48:00 | 6m 00s | Mitochondrion | Interesting idea and seems like a nice concept for interesting game. Too bad it's really too unfinished :/ |
| Apr 26 23:13:00 | 1h 25m | This Precious Land | I love it. Excellent work, you win. I'd give 6 overall if I could :D <br/>There is only ONE problem and that is that grid :/ <br/>Otherwise really excellent game I expect I'll play more and more. <br/>This is one of the reasons I love LD and gamejams, because sometime really good idea manifests itself. <br/> <br/>You know, this almost doesn't need anything else (maybe except that confusing grid and some music) to be declared full game. Some hints for player would be nice, but finding it out by myself was very rewarding. <br/> <br/>I suggest you take this idea and put it on ipad/android to get some money rewards for your idea :) |
| Apr 27 01:37:00 | 2h 24m | My Little Dungeon | Good work, guys. First impression was really great (music helped a lot, visuals are nice too), idea seemed great, but the gameplay quickly devolved into placing big redstone room and watching hero slowly walking his way through the enemies and lost it's appeal. <br/> <br/>Bit faster gameplay, a lot more choices for player (maybe giving ability to choose what character gets for level?) and this could be awesome game. <br/> <br/>And when I think about it, I'm really hard pressed to find some connection with theme here. |
| Apr 27 01:44:00 | 7m 00s | Predicament | Short, but good. |
| Apr 27 10:12:00 | 8h 28m | Wild Ontrys | Exactly as you said in your post, this is more of a toy then game. Fun factor is pretty low, since it consists of watching simulation and maybe interfering with it by killing some tinies. Or not. |
| Apr 27 12:41:00 | 2h 29m | Tiny World | Canard: could you pls upload the jar somewhere for us lazy? |
| Apr 27 12:43:00 | 2m 00s | Twice Upon A Time | at least put up gameplay video on youtube, you won't get much rates otherwise (I proudly admit I'm just to lazy to go search for my mac in a pile of unholy mess that accumulated near my table...) |
| Apr 27 12:48:00 | 5m 00s | MoleculeCraft | I have nothing against edutainment, but this is too much education (for those who don't know / remember basic chemistry) and not much of a game (there's at least one game in compo that uses the same basis, but it's fun to play). It's more a like an interactive test from chemistry. <br/> <br/>BTW edutainment that forces player to learn via other sources is bad imo. |
| May 1 19:20:00 | 102h 32m | Surrounded by Snails | Very good music, otherwise it's just a seed for a platformer game. I liked picking up more skills giving it a bit more interesting progress then in generic platformer |
| May 1 19:25:00 | 5m 00s | Shrink! | Too bad you haven't finished it. |
| May 1 19:30:00 | 5m 00s | Galaxy Music Quest | Not valid compo entry. You should have set this as jam since you're using assets you hadn't done for the game yourself. |
| May 2 15:11:00 | 19h 41m | One-way Ticket To Space Train | Bit confusing at first, died twice before I managed to finish the journey. Potential can be seen here, but the end result is not that good. <br/> <br/>And AFAIK using resources (even free ones) like sound effects are against the rules for compo (so this should be marked as jam entry) |
| May 2 15:16:00 | 5m 00s | This game is pretty NEET! | Same as commenters above. All I can do is sleep (which either takes incredible time to stop, or just hangs out), and walk around the tiny apartment. Either the web version is seriously broken, or I'm missing something here.... |
| May 2 15:18:00 | 2m 00s | Fill that jar! now put some crumbs in it! | Not much to play here. I guess I see where were you going with it, but currently it's just a basis without much fun. |
| May 2 15:22:00 | 4m 00s | Little Gray Rocketeer | I spent several minutes trying to find the planet to land on and then gave up. |
| May 3 09:29:00 | 18h 07m | Aether | Excellent piece! I could wish for more elements and longer game, but I hope I'll get it it postcompo version ;) |
| May 5 19:21:00 | 57h 52m | Deliveroid | OSX build doesn't work (on lion, doesn't start, ends without saying anythjing). <br/>webplayer works though. Interesting, but I kinda don't get why I'll should transport food only to destroy my source of income to win. <br/> <br/>zero for audio, using finished assets for compo is not allowed. |
| May 5 19:34:00 | 13m 00s | Weathering | Can't run on mac (python 3.2.2 or whatever is current version, just downloaded it) <br/> <br/> File "main.py", line 30 <br/> print(character, end="") <br/> ^ <br/>SyntaxError: invalid syntax <br/> <br/>Deleted that part (I have essentially zero knowledge of python and have no time and need to learn it just to run one entry), tried to run again, first text showed, then python fails after I'll try to write something). |
| May 5 19:53:00 | 19m 00s | OSC: Dawn | Firefox (on mac) tends to get very slow, chrome works better. Both stop responding after parking in the zone. |
| May 5 19:57:00 | 4m 00s | Unforbidden Planetoid | Excellent music and nice looking visuals, idea of platformer inside one planetoid also looks nice. Too bad you hadn't had enough time to create a game out of it. Are you going to work more in this? As a tech demo it looks very interesting (and that's coming from someone who hates platformers with a passion :). |
| May 5 19:58:00 | 1m 00s | Tiny World Travel | A bit problematic to rate game when there's only video and nothing more :/ |
| May 5 20:05:00 | 7m 00s | The Two of Us | user unfriendly? more like ragequitter unfriendly except it quits before you can start raging. Gave it few tries, gave it up |
| May 5 20:07:00 | 2m 00s | World of doors | Crashes after opening the red door. <br/>I liked the idea of tiny world made of corridors and doors, but thats about everything. |
| May 5 20:15:00 | 8m 00s | Eye Quest | OSX version doesn't start :/ crashes after startup, macos lion tells me to check if it's for correct version of the os |
| May 5 20:22:00 | 7m 00s | Cricket in a Bottle | Visually looks very good (well, using finished assets saves a lot of time :), but it's put together nicely and with music it creates nice mood (about the only thing I disliked was ugly grasshopper's antenaes, because of the contrast with very nice looking level. <br/>Not much of a game, but interesting experience. |
| May 5 21:10:00 | 48m 00s | SimAsteroid | Nice k421, sorry, k241 clone. I think I'll fire up Fragile Allegiance tomorrow and play it again after few years :) |
| May 5 21:18:00 | 8m 00s | Nix | Full points for art, extra humor points for the "spleen". <br/>Too bad that you run out of time, because right now it's just pretty boring intro :/ |
| May 5 21:22:00 | 4m 00s | PLANET CONQUERED | Increase speed, reverse direction!!!! |
| May 6 00:45:00 | 3h 23m | The Mansion | I have no idea what the end meant. gameplaywise... a bit boring, I almost rage quitted while trying to find how to quit the dialogue. (not being able to check controls again without quitting and running again is really unfriendly). <br/> <br/>If I get it right, I have to unblock the stairs and kill a spy. Not much of a puzzle, if there's some stronger meaning, I'm not seeing it. |
| May 6 01:10:00 | 25m 00s | NanoTanks - A tiny programming game for a tiny world | doesn't work on mac, damn, I really wanted to check this :/ have to fix windows rig asap! |
| May 10 22:15:00 | 117h 05m | We Fall Again | Although it fits the theme, I doubt it could be called a game. |
| May 10 22:20:00 | 5m 00s | Pluto's Revenge | The weirdest pinball I've ever played :) |
