Apr 25 07:19:00 Tiny Civilization A firm favourite, this could turn into a cult game :) <br/> <br/>I even score it high on graphics; the graphics suit the mood perfectly, and add to the gameplay. <br/> <br/>It recreates a classic mac game feel somehow from my fuzzy past.
Apr 25 08:13:00 54m 00s Cat Planet How do you start the game? I'm on Linux; I had to 'file' it to discover that its a zip. run.sh seems to be for mac. When I install lua and just run "lua main.lua" it complains "lua: main.lua:70: attempt to index global 'love' (a nil value)"
Apr 25 08:39:00 26m 00s Itty-bitty botty The biggest challenge is understanding that some things can only be clicked on after something else has been done; its very linear. But once you climb into the author's mind, its straightforward. Very nice consistent artwork.
Apr 25 10:10:00 1h 31m Tiny Parallel Worlds A very nice retro-feel, super fun! <br/> <br/>The focus on game-play and level design over graphics really makes a difference.
Apr 25 10:20:00 10m 00s Land of Food Super fun! Text adventures are shockingly underrepresented on LD and its good that you're doing your bit to correct that! <br/> <br/>If you type something that isn't understood, you just get a blank line. <br/> <br/>Its conventional for 'EXITS' to do what your PLACES does, so I had to restart the game a few times before learning to read your HELP. <br/> <br/>Overall, very very nice. Good focus on game over graphics.
Apr 25 10:49:00 29m 00s Tiny Timmy and Big Bill The early monsters seem a bit arbitrary <br/> <br/>But I loved the game, its awesome!
Apr 25 11:06:00 17m 00s The Good Ship Higgs Boson LOVED IT! <br/> <br/>Very playable and even replayable. <br/> <br/>I could easily imagine this being an iphone game where you use phone tilt to change gravity.
Apr 25 11:19:00 13m 00s IÄTI Loved it! <br/> <br/>I got into a situation where the ghosts were passing through at layers containing houses etc but that I could not bomb :( <br/> <br/>Very playable.
Apr 25 11:35:00 16m 00s Buggy, Tank and Missile Launcher!!! Really fun! <br/> <br/>Never won though I tried a few times; its quite hard. Could use in-game tutorial level and gentler start. <br/> <br/>Artwork absolutely superb.
Apr 25 11:39:00 4m 00s Children of DiscoDroid Liked the simple retro look&amp;feel :) <br/> <br/>Is the front clipping plane a little far from the camera?
Apr 25 14:24:00 2h 45m Download Incomplete A fun little platform game; gravity could be weaker.
Apr 26 05:48:00 15h 24m Tiny Defenders Nice sprite-work
Apr 26 05:57:00 9m 00s LittleEarth's Last Stand The collision with the planet seems to be with a bounding box, so near misses graphically can actually be hits on the planet? <br/> <br/>Also, the hit box of the objects you shoot at is too centered in them; its possible to graphically seem to be hitting but be missing if you're off-center?
Apr 26 06:48:00 51m 00s Accretion Definitely an infinite loop in there somewhere :(
Apr 26 08:07:00 1h 19m Kumiho I liked the graphics and the pace <br/> <br/>I think that the enemy missiles could be prettier, and that your ship could have a shield or more health so it doesn't die the moment it collides with any bomb. <br/> <br/>The channel could be wider. <br/> <br/>There is just no obvious reason not to hold down the fire button at all times. Perhaps that's intentional. <br/> <br/>But I really liked the pastel colouring, and the music fitted really well, and the firing sound was not too, and it has checkpoints.
Apr 26 11:51:00 3h 44m A Week in the life of... I like what you are trying to do. <br/> <br/>I think you could have other HTML features to have speech bubbles, and to have buttons where you can press anywhere in them rather than the just on the text. <br/> <br/>I liked the actual underlying game-play a lot!
Apr 27 10:52:00 23h 01m Don't mess with magical cube Wow its hard from the start :) <br/> <br/>Also locked up on me a few times.
Apr 27 11:01:00 9m 00s Only Your Home &gt;inv <br/>You are carrying: <br/> a video game (closed) <br/> a book of truth <br/> a book on geography <br/> <br/>&gt;open video game <br/>A CD of Edu-quest sits in the holder. <br/> <br/>&gt;inv <br/>You are carrying: <br/> a video game (open) <br/> an iron key <br/> a CD of Edu-quest <br/> a book of truth <br/> a book on geography
Apr 27 11:44:00 43m 00s Gulliver Wow, I played happily for ages! Very very playable!
Apr 30 10:11:00 70h 27m Cylcubere Origins I couldn't get the mouse in a square thing to work for me :( <br/> <br/>I did really like the overall premise and the humour and mood in the voice. <br/> <br/>I did not miss that you've randomised the speech; replay and you get different expressions. Neato :)
Apr 30 10:21:00 10m 00s Triskelion A very fun little game; is it all procedurally generated?
Apr 30 10:26:00 5m 00s Shrink-O-Matic 9000 A promising concept; more classic platform controls - inertia etc - would be great. <br/> <br/>I liked the initial levels were so basic that they really introduced the concept; but then suddenly the hardness got turned on full and I found myself restarting levels all a gazillion times.
Apr 30 11:21:00 55m 00s Establichment I couldn't work out how to build from source; the asset submodule seemed broken but I just did my own git clone on it directly and that worked; the grab_deps ran ok, but I was curious why they weren't instead in as submodules; and then I was left trying to work out what 'rock' was. What component is that? <br/> <br/>Anyway, I ended up running the pre-made linux binary you packaged, and an apt-get install libalut-dev later or so was playing. <br/> <br/>Damn those aliens spawn quickly. Can't work out what the surrounding thing is either.
May 3 07:55:00 68h 34m Nano Strike Loved the look-n-feel
May 3 08:05:00 10m 00s Big Atoms Excellent! The inertia feels completely natural; not unresponsive at all, if you understand the whole point. <br/> <br/>Level 2 was hardest.
May 3 13:45:00 5h 40m Tiny Artillery Loved it!
May 3 13:54:00 9m 00s Celia Excellent artwork; parallax works really well.
May 3 17:19:00 3h 25m Quarks vs Leptons! Loved the Lore :)
May 3 17:26:00 7m 00s Laser Fly When I run it on my linux box, it complains it can't load javax/vecmath/Tuple2d
May 11 07:18:00 181h 52m The Mansion Nostalgic at one level, but the actual layout had a horridly school cafeteria -like layout to me, which wasn't such a nice thing. <br/> <br/>A key to bring up the help would have been useful. <br/> <br/>(Bugs: <br/>* you can out into the garden from the right-side of the very first room, and then you can go off the side of the map and crash it <br/>* I seem to have killed quite a few people called Rex - are the names deliberately reused? <br/>* it seems that if you repeat an action already on-screen its not shown again; this is a pain with things that ought to be shown again, e.g. that a *different* door opens or whatever <br/>)
May 11 09:23:00 2h 05m Tondie and Zupe Loved it! Really loved it!
May 11 09:44:00 21m 00s Burning Platform can we have a link directly to the APK? I'm having trouble getting it onto the phone via Google Play thingy :(
May 12 18:22:00 32h 38m Tiny Island Adventure Gorgeous as so many have said, bit hard to actually control though as others have said, but very high scoring :)
May 12 18:31:00 9m 00s Tiny's World The poor performance and lack of conventional gamification did start to get to me, but the artwork and the audio was so top-notch this really leaves me with a positive impression and score anyhow, all performance glitches are forgiven :)
May 12 19:13:00 42m 00s c!ph3r Lovely puzzle game with great graphics.
May 12 19:19:00 6m 00s Microscopia Top notch graphics, actually - sometimes perfection is when there is nothing left to take away!
