|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 27 10:02:00 | Super Robocade | A superior rendition of the original Mario Bros :-) | |
| Aug 27 10:14:00 | 12m 00s | Corvus | Looks kind of interesting, but could not find any goal in this game. |
| Aug 27 11:02:00 | 48m 00s | CellVolution | The upgrades look interesting but it took ages to get the first upgrade, so I couldn't try them out. |
| Aug 27 11:10:00 | 8m 00s | The World Tree | Very atmospheric. Couldn't figure out what the artifacts do. I got stuck after picking up the third artifact (could not get back through the maze). |
| Aug 27 11:26:00 | 16m 00s | Vegetal Evolution | I liked trying to solve the levels within the time, but it would be nice to be able to restart a level. Bug: after game over, it is not possible to start the game again. |
| Aug 27 11:35:00 | 9m 00s | Growth | Nice game. I nearly finished level 3. I like to play this again. |
| Aug 27 12:04:00 | 29m 00s | Geomelution | Nice game, but rather hard. The WSAD keys don't seem to work (I used the arrows). |
| Aug 27 12:12:00 | 8m 00s | The Last Creationist | At last, a game that elaborates on the theme :-) Overall nice effort, but a bit lacking in challenge. I completed the game the first time. |
| Aug 27 12:13:00 | 1m 00s | Infected Cell | Can't run because I don't have Java 7. Are you really using java 7 features? Otherwise, just use -source 1.6 -target 1.6 to make it run on java 6. |
| Aug 27 12:22:00 | 9m 00s | Evidently | Really fun to play, I had to drag myself away to review the next entry :-) Love the gibs, they contribute to the overall look. |
| Aug 27 13:26:00 | 1h 04m | Universal Adaptors! | I completed it. Actually the game looks surprisingly like my own game (nom's evolvathlon), so of course I like this game :-) I think the graphics are actually atmospheric (though I don't like your drawing of a monkey much:-)). |
| Aug 27 13:50:00 | 24m 00s | Super Conga Kat | Fun to play, well executed. I like the graphics. I got stuck in the tunnel with the spikes. |
| Aug 27 16:22:00 | 2h 32m | Evolution hates you | This must be the most addicting game I've played yet! I have rarely seen such real evolving creatures in a game. It plays like a sandbox game. The possibility to "farm" species keeps me coming back for more. However it's very difficult to avoid the red dots so I keep dying again and again. |
| Aug 27 17:19:00 | 57m 00s | Hexarden | Really good puzzle game. I'd like to play more levels! |
| Aug 27 17:40:00 | 21m 00s | Derpymon Blue | I am not much into turn based fighting games, but I like this one. |
| Aug 27 18:03:00 | 23m 00s | Uberlution | In some ways very different from the other games I've seen. Great graphics, nice lighting effects. It's also nice to hear someone use voices in a LD game. Haven't heard it before. |
| Aug 27 18:49:00 | 46m 00s | Whelp | I completed the game. Quite an interesting and kind of original game. |
| Aug 28 16:15:00 | 21h 26m | The Lost Laboratory | I don't seem to be making any progress. I put some cats in the dome but then they disappear again as soon as I walk out of the lab. I like the music. |
| Aug 28 17:01:00 | 46m 00s | Bubble Breeders | An addictive game, though it took me awhile to figure out what's going on. When I finally started making progress the creatures got stuck in a fight and refused to go anywhere. I quit after 5 minutes of waiting. I'l definitely play this more if there were a save game feature. |
| Aug 28 17:16:00 | 15m 00s | Title Goes Here... | After several tries of trying to pass wave 2, I got stuck inside a platform. It's a nice start, it just needs some work to make it more fun. You have to shoot the zombies very often to kill them, yet they move very quickly and unpredictably. This means that standing in a safe place in the hope that you can hit some zombies is an optimal strategy. |
| Aug 28 18:48:00 | 1h 32m | DNA | I completed the game :-) The game is simple but fun. |
| Aug 28 18:52:00 | 4m 00s | I Am A Tree. You Are Not. Ha Ha. | The arrow controls do not work. Windows 7 64 bit. |
| Aug 28 19:05:00 | 13m 00s | Evolution Game by legionth | There didn't seem to be any challenge to the game, just pick up everything and upgrade to the maximum score below the goal before passing it. I got to near 20,000 |
| Aug 28 19:22:00 | 17m 00s | CellAnt | I like the idea of watching ants run around do their own things, but I found it hard to control anything. It is hard to click each ant one by one (if you can make out which ones are yours in the first place). I placed some purple blocks and the ants seem to get stuck in them. It takes ages for something to happen, but I am now running the game in the background to see what happens. |
| Aug 28 19:27:00 | 5m 00s | Dinosauria Square | Can't run this. Java complains that the 64 bit jvm cannot load a 32 bit lwjgl.dll. |
| Aug 28 19:31:00 | 4m 00s | Space Mayham | Won't run on my Win7 64 bit machine. It just says "GameTemplate stopped working" |
| Aug 28 19:45:00 | 14m 00s | Swarm | Innovative idea, but not sure if it works. The action is basically that of a multidirectional shooter, but it doesn't have the same satisfaction. The stages are too short and shooting does not seem to be worth the bother. |
| Aug 28 19:53:00 | 8m 00s | The Amazing Adventure of Magenta-Man | The ragdoll effects are interesting, but there does not seem to be an awful lot of gameplay. |
| Aug 28 20:02:00 | 9m 00s | Watercolor Wheel Evolution | OK, so it's a jam because your daughter participated :-) I like the graphics and sound. |
| Aug 28 20:11:00 | 9m 00s | EVOLON | If that's your first game, you got off to a pretty good start :-) I'd play it more if you wouldn't have to start all over again every time you die. Sone simple sfxr sounds may have been nice (it takes like 15 min to generate some basic game sounds). |
| Aug 29 16:37:00 | 20h 26m | History of the black pixels | Rarely do such large pixels look so good :-) I also like that the sounds are not sfxr. The game has an intruiging atmosphere. I did not figure out all the game rules, but I got stuck in a level with a lot of teleports and no way out. |
| Aug 29 17:19:00 | 42m 00s | A League for Fishes | I could not figure out how to eat the red beetles, so I got stuck. |
| Aug 29 17:26:00 | 7m 00s | Evolvin Gen | When I change 100% of DNA (not sure if that is the goal of the game), the game crashes. |
| Aug 29 17:37:00 | 11m 00s | _Evolve | Looks interesting, but impossible to play until you fix some bugs first. I got that cursor index error, and also some other error. Also, I can't see the entire map on my screen, if I change the resolution I can't even see the icons anymore. The creatures are too small for me to see properly. |
| Aug 29 18:57:00 | 1h 20m | Gobblegoks: Evolution | Quite a nice arena shooter. Haven't seen many of those, strangely. I like the different enemies and tiles. The idea of different sizes is interesting. |
| Aug 29 19:14:00 | 17m 00s | Primordial Smackdown | I got to generation 10, then I rolled bad stats and died. Interesting experience, only I am not sure if I am really influencing the process, because I cannot really move, melee seems to be a random win or lose affair (though I cannot be sure), and the generation stats are very random. |
| Aug 29 19:37:00 | 23m 00s | Aggrandize | It works well on my tablet. I like the presentation and mood of the game. Pity you didn't get more of it finished. |
| Aug 29 19:55:00 | 18m 00s | Elefount 2: The Elementalution | Apart from the backgrounds, which do not tile seamlessly, it look very intriguing graphically. I have the impression I cannot really influence what's going on in the game. It is not clear whether I hit something with my bullets or not, and whether that is good or bad. |
| Aug 29 20:04:00 | 9m 00s | Ancient Ruins | Cannot play the game. The exe simply doesn't start. |
| Aug 29 20:51:00 | 47m 00s | Fire Frog | Like the graphics and sound, but the controls are fiddly, the camera follow is sadistic, and somehow the character doesn't always shoot when I press X. |
| Aug 29 21:18:00 | 27m 00s | 133 | Great, an 48-hour roguelike that's actually pretty good! And it looks very finished too. I'd like to see a more extensive version with more monster types. |
| Aug 30 20:09:00 | 22h 51m | Bioboy | One of the best games I've played. I first though some of the puzzles were unsolveable until I discovered how the powerups work. |
| Aug 30 20:15:00 | 6m 00s | Blobber | A potentially nice platformer with good graphics. I've only seen two screens, I've no idea how to progress from there. Eventually I got stuck in a tree and the game seemed to freeze after that. |
| Aug 30 20:23:00 | 8m 00s | Bubble Wars | A polished game, though I am not sure how to progress. Do I just have to collect a lot of 'N's? |
| Aug 30 20:39:00 | 16m 00s | Survival of the Fitterest | I never found out how the game works exactly. The number at the top is not the same as the group size, how come? How do you select individuals except by leaving some behind? How can I see if the stats improve? |
| Aug 30 20:52:00 | 13m 00s | Space Sheep: Cyber-Genetic Wariors | Looks like a fairly complete shooter, with some interesting graphical effects. With more polishing, like more control over the action (more possibilities to avoid enemies or less randomness), a health bar, and proper explosions (not just the sheep disappearing with a pop), this could be a nice game. |
| Aug 31 21:35:00 | 24h 43m | Ascension: The Way | Looks fantastic! Also looks pretty polished. Only some of the skill jumps are rather frustrating. |
| Aug 31 21:45:00 | 10m 00s | Old Man Johnson's Lonely Explosion | Look and sounds pretty neat. But why bother having random tiles that must be placed in a fixed sequence when it's easy to dispose of them? I found myself spending too much time disposing of tbe bad tiles rather than solving interesting puzzles. |
| Aug 31 21:47:00 | 2m 00s | Graphics are overrated | Couldn't run, I don't have java 7 because some software only runs on 6. If you don't use java 7 features, I advise using -source 1.6 -target 1.6. |
| Aug 31 21:55:00 | 8m 00s | Ducks | The duck quacking sound is definitely the highlight of this game. |
| Aug 31 22:33:00 | 38m 00s | Magna Systems Inc. | I really like this type of game, I've only seen so few of them. I'd like to see a version which saves your progress, or you can start at any level. |
| Aug 31 22:44:00 | 11m 00s | LD24 X0ut | Really original and interesting experience (until the moment the game froze up my computer) |
| Aug 31 22:55:00 | 11m 00s | Psee's Food Quest | I think this looks a little unpolished. The platform mechanics are not sound and most sprites do not animate. The bullets move too slowly. |
| Aug 31 23:07:00 | 12m 00s | kinetic dream | Interesting experience. Looks polished too. Only in terms of gameplay, there is not much of a challenge. |
| Sep 3 20:25:00 | 69h 18m | Invasion | Great work, very original. This game reminded me how much I like farming type games. I would have liked the possibility to destroy plants and seeds, as I had to carry away large amounts of seeds one by one by the time my plants were growing tall. |
| Sep 3 22:14:00 | 1h 49m | Biovolve | Nice little platformer. I think I completed the game, at least I got to a level which just keeps repeating itself. I like the graphics, very simple but very effective. A puzzle element where you have to get the orbs in the right order may have been nice. |
| Sep 3 22:46:00 | 32m 00s | The Path for Evolution | The first level contains a tough but unintentional puzzle, but I finally completed it! <br/> <br/>The segments are supposed to stop in the middle of the screen to form the "E". However, if you fail to complete the level the first time you press the boom button, the segments will no longer stop and the first level becomes uncompleteable. <br/> <br/>If you fail the move the segments towards the middle the first time round, reload the page before trying again. |
| Sep 3 22:55:00 | 9m 00s | Slime LifeTime | I couldn't discover much gameplay to it, just turn left, bang your spacebar, then turn right, then bang your spacebar again. 5 minutes later, still the same. |
| Sep 4 18:35:00 | 19h 40m | Future Rabbit | Great work! I always wondered what a cross-stitched game would look like. The stitchwork looks pretty seamless, which I thought would be hard to get right. I found the gameplay gets boring quickly however, it needs just a little extra strategy element. |
| Sep 4 18:59:00 | 24m 00s | Kittens vs Evolution | It was a long time since I played a commando clone. The game was fun, only a bit too easy to complete. |
| Sep 6 16:58:00 | 45h 59m | Tactical Binary Evolution Combat (TBEC) | Interesting game! It was quite enjoyable, and I'd like to see a postcompo version. One boring but successful strategy is to wake the enemies one by one. You can prevent this by grouping enemies that wake together. Fog of war and more levels would be nice too. A healing feature would also enable more interesting strategies. In terms of user interface, it would be nice to be able to select mineable blocks more easily. |
| Sep 6 17:15:00 | 17m 00s | Aargh, Invaders | The game has potential, but is currently a bit limited. Often I can't avoid the bullets at all. The idea of evolving enemies is interesting, but I could not notice any of it when playing the game. |
| Sep 6 17:40:00 | 25m 00s | Extinction Exhibition | Interesting experience. I did not seem to be able to influence game progress much though. It was not clear how the evolution improves survivability of the species. |
| Sep 6 19:19:00 | 1h 39m | LD24 Tower Defense | Interesting alternative tower defense game. The idea of having all towers aim at one target makes it rather different, but also seems to limit the available strategies to lining the enemies up on a single line. I am not sure it's a good idea to have the aliens get in the way of building. Much of the game then concentrates on avoiding alien interference while building. |
| Sep 10 20:11:00 | 96h 52m | Quantum Seed | The audio must be the best I've heard. The graphics create an interesting atmosphere. There isn't much gameplay however. What I would probably do is keep the graphics and sound and try a different game concept. |
| Sep 10 20:23:00 | 12m 00s | @#$% Life! I'm the god damn SUN. | The bashing concept is a good deal of fun :-) The theme is also funny. I'd probably like to zoom out the playfield, so there's more strategy to the game as you try to match your trajectory to that planets' trajectories. |
| Sep 15 22:43:00 | 122h 20m | Lolicopocalypse | You managed to capture an interesting atmosphere with the graphics and sound, though the gameplay itself seems rather limited. |
| Sep 15 22:54:00 | 11m 00s | Treevolution | well presented, interesting to play for awhile, but I could find little logic to the combinations. Slow end animation made me quit early. |
| Sep 15 23:19:00 | 25m 00s | Slimy Things Did Crawl | Good fun. I do like games with a working evolution model. |
