|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 27 08:00:00 | The Life Tale | I had a hard time figuring out what to do, and it's a bit slow. But I like the concept. | |
| Aug 27 08:09:00 | 9m 00s | Artificial Selection | But.. nothing happens when I win... |
| Aug 27 08:19:00 | 10m 00s | Infected Cell | Could not find the main class. Program will exit. |
| Aug 27 08:30:00 | 11m 00s | Darwinicide aka Charles Darwin versus the Catholic Church | That was a pleasant surprise. |
| Aug 27 09:01:00 | 31m 00s | Bit-Craft Evolution | Very slick. Love the effects. |
| Aug 27 09:40:00 | 39m 00s | Dusty Balls | Reminds me of Oxyd, and also that time I played two carts in Mario Kart. The idea is cool, but the game is harde |
| Aug 27 09:42:00 | 2m 00s | Super Conga Kat | Title screen works, but it crashes once I press space. |
| Aug 27 09:48:00 | 6m 00s | A Matter of L and D | I killed a frog! I'm not sure what all the different mutate buttons do. Maybe if it started out with only a couple of critters it would be easier to follow? |
| Aug 27 10:02:00 | 14m 00s | Vesuvius | Fantastic concept! I had to do some trickery to get it to run (running it from local files didn't work, it gave error messages, so I uploaded it to a web server and ran it from there). I wish there were more feedback about how strong you are (like a health bar or something), and it would be nice if there were checkpoints so you don't have to restart at the beginning every time. |
| Aug 27 10:29:00 | 27m 00s | Deep Sea Evolution | It's fun, but the one big killer is the loading time -- and it seems to hang sometimes when loading on Windows. At first I thought the loading screen was the game itself! Would love to see a more polished version sometime. The help is great, but one thing missing from the help text is "click on things to move / eat". |
| Aug 27 10:33:00 | 4m 00s | Evidently | This made me laugh harder than anything in recent memory. Reminds me of the "Darwinicide" game also in this compo. |
| Aug 27 10:45:00 | 12m 00s | An Astronomical Affray | Sweet! The screenshots do NOT do this justice. At first I thought, "what does this have to do with evolution?" but then I saw the enemies evolving -- I didn't have to read the documentation to figure that out. Awesome music, too. Game is a bit hard. |
| Aug 27 10:51:00 | 6m 00s | TamaCat | Why does the cat die? Can I avoid this? |
| Aug 27 11:04:00 | 13m 00s | Battle Evolved | Awesome! The training area really adds a lot of polish to the game. |
| Aug 27 11:14:00 | 10m 00s | EVILUTION | I got to a wall that says EXIT now what? <br/> <br/>Is that a software 3D engine? Yes? Neat! Gotta respect the dedication it takes to do that. And it doesn't have any weird graphical glitches, either. |
| Aug 27 11:19:00 | 5m 00s | Megavolve | A bit challenging. I love the animation of the wheely robot that you see first. |
| Aug 27 11:32:00 | 13m 00s | Nom's Evolvathlon | I'm impressed by how sophisticated the game is -- very nice. I have a bit of trouble with the controls though. Also, when you get a new ability, sometimes I'm already clicking when the ability menu pops up so I click on something before I can read it -- and I can't figure out what ability I picked! <br/> <br/>I'd love to see a more polished version sometime. |
| Aug 27 11:38:00 | 6m 00s | Cube Miner: The Evolution of the Cubindustry | I don't have a keypad, so it's kinda slow... |
| Aug 27 11:50:00 | 12m 00s | Cellulae | For about ten generations, I was always so big at the end that I never saw a red cell. Then I got a streak of bad luck and everything was red, but I survived for another several generations by eating leftovers and dodging everything. |
| Aug 27 12:01:00 | 11m 00s | Galapagos | Oh, population dynamics. At first I thought, "cool, the birds are having chicks" and then "wow, that's a lot of chicks" and suddenly they wiped out all the food and died off... <br/> <br/>I don't know if that was your intent, but it's a cool thing to see the system do. |
| Aug 27 12:09:00 | 8m 00s | Tiny Evolution Adventure | Nice! Very polished, and good gameplay too. A little hard for me though. |
| Aug 28 08:55:00 | 20h 46m | Reckless Abandon | I love the idea, but the controls are hard. Like "learning to play the piano" hard. Instant death is a bit of a bummer. Love shooting lasers at folks though with a swapped out head. |
| Aug 28 09:02:00 | 7m 00s | Operation Tek | So, I defeated the president? Whoops, my bad! |
| Aug 28 09:37:00 | 35m 00s | The Amazing Adventure of Magenta-Man | Cool game, I died at first but then I was rocking some kind of apocalyptic gatling-laser and spawn camping the space commies. The melee attack seems kind of pointless... maybe if enemies evolved armor -- and different kinds of armor protected against different attacks -- that would be cool. Love the graphics, the screenshots don't do it justice, you need to see it in action. |
| Aug 28 09:56:00 | 19m 00s | Galactic Evolution | Hm, I was hoping for a little more variation in the enemies. Also: are the different spells that reduce enemy defense different? Or do I just need to get one of them then I'm fine? |
| Aug 28 10:23:00 | 27m 00s | Stevie Asteroid Rescues the Hovercredits | Cool! I did a not-to-dissimilar thing with my game, where it's the game that evolves as you go on. I think both our games get a little too hard as it goes on, I can't get past the series of falling platforms. I love the surprise I got when I went from thinking, "this game sucks" to "I want to see how far this thing gets!" |
| Aug 28 10:27:00 | 4m 00s | viviDNA | Very pretty! I'm not sure about bumping into enemies... can I defeat them, or does it just hurt me? |
| Aug 28 10:39:00 | 12m 00s | Exvolvere | I don't really have four people to play with, and it's a lot of work playing by myself. I think it would benefit a lot from graphics and a computer-controlled opponent. |
| Aug 28 10:55:00 | 16m 00s | A Castle in the Desert | Sweet! I am seriously impressed with the "script" as it were -- I know how hard it is to make some kind of coherent narrative in a game in only 48 hours. |
| Aug 29 09:38:00 | 22h 43m | Extreme Super Death Pit 3000 | It's a big level, and it's hart to tell how far your gun shoots... |
| Aug 29 09:51:00 | 13m 00s | Evolve 'em all | Like the music. I'm no good at shmups. |
| Aug 29 10:28:00 | 37m 00s | Temple of Evolution | Love it! Gave up after falling, trying to land on the platform that has sunlight falling on it. Just too much to do over when you fall from there. (My game has the same problem.) |
| Aug 29 10:43:00 | 15m 00s | RE-evolution: The Legend of Hopper | Awesome fun! Wish there were checkpoints, or a way to skip the cutscene. Didn't finish the game. I'm impressed with the game "script", it's impressive. |
| Aug 29 10:55:00 | 12m 00s | Dragonom | Beautiful, but slow and not much gameplay. |
| Aug 29 11:01:00 | 6m 00s | Volve | Fun. Beat it. It's about the right length for me. Gameplay is a bit simple though, but what can you do in 48 hours, eh? |
| Aug 29 11:07:00 | 6m 00s | Complexitivity | Humans rarely look up, you know. Solid gameplay, stylish graphics. |
| Aug 31 11:03:00 | 47h 56m | The Lost Laboratory | I put animals into the bin, how do I know I'm getting anywhere (what am I supposed to do?) |
| Aug 31 11:25:00 | 22m 00s | Emergent Dungeon | I couldn't get past the text adventure, a rat killed me. |
| Aug 31 11:41:00 | 16m 00s | Sorry, i was late! | Is there something after the backwards level? I can't go through the door... |
| Aug 31 11:45:00 | 4m 00s | Unnatural Selection | Wish I could play against the computer |
| Aug 31 11:56:00 | 11m 00s | Swarm or Die | Windows version: "There should be 'LD24incompleteWin32_Data' <br/>folder next to the executable" Web version works fine, I can't figure out how to play it though. |
| Aug 31 12:01:00 | 5m 00s | Tonality | Holy mackerel that is an awesome concept. |
| Aug 31 12:07:00 | 6m 00s | The Origin of Faeces | "Frankly, I'm amazed you stuck with it this long." Great graphics and feel, not much substance though. |
| Aug 31 12:11:00 | 4m 00s | Zombie 0 | They move so fast.... |
| Aug 31 12:20:00 | 9m 00s | Temptare Subjectium XIII | Would be nice to have some instructions, it took me a while to figure out how to use the abilities. And some foreground / background contrast would be nice... |
| Aug 31 12:25:00 | 5m 00s | mintys | Nice abstract game. |
| Aug 31 12:41:00 | 16m 00s | Pimp my Rat ! | Cool game, but needs tweaks -- blind jumps (you can't see what you're landing on) and dead ends (picking up the green pill after you get small). |
| Sep 2 09:40:00 | 44h 59m | Dinolution | Got stuck on the submersion level, where I couldn't jump on top of a platform because I would just fall through it. Nice graphics and sound though. |
| Sep 2 10:33:00 | 53m 00s | Fit to Fight | Couldn't figure out what to do. Also, it looks like a mod to an existing game rather than its own game... maybe it would work for the Jam? |
| Sep 2 11:35:00 | 1h 02m | GiRL2501 | Nice, reminds me of roguelikes! Can't figure out how to heal.... |
| Sep 2 12:06:00 | 31m 00s | Neural Nodes | Won on my second try by making everyone into speed mutations. Great concept and fun to play. (Not like 48 hours is long enough to work on game balance, anyway.) |
| Sep 2 12:14:00 | 8m 00s | Beetlefield : The Forecast | Love it! They're so good at dodging, it would be nice to see 'em slip once in a while. |
| Sep 2 12:38:00 | 24m 00s | Plan M | This floored me! Must have been a ton of work! But I'm stuck... I have two crystals, can't get into the sewer, and can't get into the oval office. There's something up Nixon's nose or something. |
| Sep 2 12:57:00 | 19m 00s | Dino Chef | Pretty, and nice effects! Not sure what I'm doing though... |
| Sep 2 13:02:00 | 5m 00s | Karyote | Not sure what's going on... I like the style, though. |
| Sep 2 13:07:00 | 5m 00s | Mutate Now! | Hilarious script! Gameplay is nice, but a little buggy. |
| Sep 2 13:11:00 | 4m 00s | Evolution | Charming! I couldn't get past the fish though... |
| Sep 2 13:15:00 | 4m 00s | D'evilution | Short, but not a waste of time. Nice concept. Reminds me of a certain RPG. |
| Sep 2 13:19:00 | 4m 00s | Oculus Battalion | Fun! Hard to shoot small bouncy things though. |
| Sep 2 23:48:00 | 10h 29m | Unnatural Selection | By the time you get to level 9, it's pretty silly. Would be nice if there were a couple tips in-game on how to play. |
| Sep 2 23:53:00 | 5m 00s | MuTaTrIs | Wow! Innovative take on an old classic. |
| Sep 3 00:16:00 | 23m 00s | Genetics-Pop | I clicked a bunch and won two levels, and then I clicked a bunch and lost. Nice concept, but it would be cool to have some instructions with pictures to go with them. |
| Sep 3 00:17:00 | 1m 00s | Future Pixels | Love the soundtrack. Levels are a bit long, and it would be nice to have feedback about how far you are in a level. |
| Sep 3 00:23:00 | 6m 00s | GeometryEvo | What a great concept! It must have been tough to make essentially four games in 48 hours. The soundtrack goes well with the story. The text is a little hard on the eyes though, and I wish there were a little more contrast between the thing you control and the other things in the world. |
| Sep 3 00:28:00 | 5m 00s | Aeon | Love it! But if you die, you restart too far back... if there were checkpoints, it would be a lot less frustrating. |
| Sep 3 00:38:00 | 10m 00s | Move the Cheese | What a unique puzzle game. Sometimes I felt like I was just turning it randomly, though. |
| Sep 3 01:01:00 | 23m 00s | HumanTECH | Wow! Aside from some frustrations with the guards getting stuck in walls, this was flawless! I had the same problem with my game -- audio problems on OS X, although my problems were due to a poor choice of sample rate conversion algorithm which only affected OS X users. <br/> <br/>I was a bit unlucky, I ended up with poor speed for most of the game, which made progress a little slow. Once I got the blaster, I realized that speed let me dodge the guard's shots more easily. |
| Sep 3 01:11:00 | 10m 00s | Evoland | At first I thought it was broken, and then I thought, "ooohhhhh!" Well-executed! But I got stuck where the NPC gives me a hint to push a rock, and there are two rocks with keyholes, but I'm not sure what to do. |
| Sep 3 01:24:00 | 13m 00s | 'The Neon Pink Philosophy' | Loads of fun, but I couldn't unlock the ending. |
| Sep 3 06:36:00 | 5h 12m | Super Genome: Hyper Evolution Turbo Edition | Cool! I was really hoping to evolve echolocation, but it never seemed to happen, and it seems I can get through the dark cave without it. <br/> <br/>It would be nice to be able to move more smoothly, the keyboard controls are a bit jerky and with the mouse it's too easy to click outside the window. I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do to win fights: sometimes I'm left with tons of HP, and sometimes I lose a lot of HP, and I'm not exactly sure why. <br/> <br/>I like the concept though, and it would be nice to be able to figure out how to apply various critter DNA to get past obstacles. I could fly over the mushrooms that hurt me with bat wings, but I never figured out why I'd want to be a snake, for example. |
| Sep 16 01:09:00 | 306h 33m | Survivor | Only one choice to make during the whole game, and all of the music tracks will play on top of one another. Cute graphics, though. |
| Sep 16 01:13:00 | 4m 00s | Selection Sort | "The linux source code is provided below." Well, no, it isn't. |
| Sep 16 01:29:00 | 16m 00s | Karl | Not very much of a game, but funny and good soundtrack. |
