| Aug 26 20:03:00 | EvoProbe | Cool game. The "How to play" button didn't work but I figured out it was like "triple-town" pretty quickly. :) | |
| Aug 27 03:10:00 | 7h 07m | Papillon | As Felicity gains new powers, you have to discover the way to use the power. Jumping higher is automatic but shows the white aura to alert the player that something is special here after picking up the power. This helps the player learn to try and discover other abilities without having to explicitly tell them this. This is brilliant game design. <br/> <br/>The visuals are lovely. I especially loved the lava pits. You can see the seams of the level tiles because of the missing inside corner tiles but that just stems from trying to get it done in 48 hours. The tileset is lovely. <br/> <br/>I found Boss 4 to be much harder than Boss 5. <br/> <br/>I discovered one defect where if Felicity caused a block to fall, that was over a transition pit, Felicity would then stand on the block that is at the bottom, just off the screen. You could not initiate the down room transition any more. Not a big issue as I could jump out of that pit at that one point. <br/> <br/>I enjoyed playing this. Great job. |
| Aug 27 03:48:00 | 38m 00s | Tad's Adventure | Why did I give up buoyancy in the second round! That ability makes the game much easier, especially paired with fast movement. Buoyancy is the best of the ability in my opinion. I wish you could re-choose the abilities to lose and gain, like at the start of a level, when you die so that you can "evolve" to meet the needs of the level. Instead I found my self guessing what would be handy/cool. Although I bet the levels are doable with out any of the traits any way. <br/> <br/>This was a fun game and the music was pretty good too. |
| Aug 27 05:20:00 | 1h 32m | Deal with It | I was able to make it to level 3. The first level was overly difficult because the controls felt loose. I think it is maybe the player acceleration that felt off. <br/> <br/>There are a lot of grammatical errors in the text. |
| Aug 27 15:38:00 | 10h 18m | Poggle Island | I thought a red and blue would eventually make a new purple egg. Found out they are their own base species that requires an egg drop to get more. Lightning was pretty annoying to use. I ended up using the climates to mass kill instead. Neat little game. |
| Aug 27 16:33:00 | 55m 00s | Constructor | Having the debt hit at the end of the year makes that first year a mad dash to build things. You need to build enough so that you can build things in the last month of the next year. You do this for 10 years or so until you have filled the map densely. The rest of the game is spent demolishing a flower, then rebuilding it to prevent earthquakes. :) After 32 years I have $106k and $145k debt. So I figure I have beaten the game by this point. |
| Aug 27 22:45:00 | 6h 12m | Intelligent Designer | Pretty cool. Wasn't quite sure I wanted anything other than plants. They are easy to maintain. Extinction happened but I am unsure as to why. There still seemed to be some creatures left. I got around ~500 points on the first try. |
| Aug 27 22:53:00 | 8m 00s | CellEvolution | Would be cool if the parts you pick up change the way the player moves. For example makes the player moves faster or jumps higher. I like that the final area is a level editor. |
| Aug 28 00:02:00 | 1h 09m | Moore's Game | That tic-tac-toe line printer animation is awesome. Although I won the game, and the line printer said I won, it said I lost and made me restart. <br/> <br/>Love the three-headed monkey. One of my favourite Monkey Island recurring gag. <br/> <br/>Wolf3d didn't seem to let me shoot the red blocks half the time. So I would die. :( The facial art was well done. I don't know if it is possible to beat this level. <br/> <br/>Nice variety of games and gameplay. |
| Aug 28 02:16:00 | 2h 14m | Lucid | Wish it used the arrow keys instead of wasd. The sprint jumps would be much easier to do if you could use two hands. <br/> <br/>Cool visual effects. Solid platformer. |
| Aug 28 04:01:00 | 1h 45m | Self.Recompile() | Interesting visual style. Was not able to get that far. The compiler menu didn't open anything and my instruction disappeared from the linker menu. I think the controller look sensitivity was too high for my preference but the mouse controls were good. |
| Aug 28 06:48:00 | 2h 47m | Ninjural Selection | Movement was ok. I think player acceleration from dead stop could have been a little tighter/faster. The music was cool and the sprites are nice. |
| Aug 28 06:58:00 | 10m 00s | Urban Sprawl | I couldn't figure out how to be sustainable after 3 runs. I was probably trying to expand to quickly with markets. Very nice looking game. |
| Aug 28 19:25:00 | 12h 27m | Ztoday | Is the character a guy, naked, and erect? Killing zombies gets him so excited! haha. I like that there are other humans running around naked too. I like to run with them, then run away from them so the zombies chase him instead of me. A good survival tactic for when you run out of ammo. |
| Aug 28 19:32:00 | 7m 00s | Fish In the Mud | I feel as though I could last forever standing on the first block that is just right from the start (you can fall onto it after spawning). It may be better if you spawned on the ground so the attack fish could get you if you do not run away. Could have used a bit more challenge in my opinion, more toxic waste would have done it. Good work though. |
| Aug 28 22:48:00 | 3h 16m | DNA | Amazing use of theme. I got stuck because I couldn't jump out of the water in the little pool on the right. Must have need a bit stronger swimming skill before escaping the safety of the water. Great game! |
| Aug 30 05:42:00 | 30h 54m | Promoted! | Amazing artwork. I had to stop firing people after 6 but great reflex-based gameplay. |
| Sep 4 04:02:00 | 118h 20m | Aggrandize | Good on you for doing an Android game, I also did one for this LD48. The controls for this were pretty rough and unresponsive though. It did eventually crashed on me as well. |
| Sep 6 03:33:00 | 47h 31m | Influenza | Great game. Was kind of frustrating waiting for your sick people to change floors but not too bad. I dug the music and the animations were good. I won with maximum sneeze and base vomit. Sneeze when it gets the range increase is great, nice and direct. Thanks for making this. |
| Sep 7 06:24:00 | 26h 51m | Super Darwin | I found the combat was a little too hard. Especially bats and your floating jump. I ended up taking a lot of damage and dying. Good work on the theme and story. |
| Sep 8 21:36:00 | 39h 12m | Human Fatality | Decent. I had many deaths before I made it to the unfinished end. The castle level was kind of annoying because you couldn't tell, on your first time through, which blocks were going to drop.. You had to just see (after many deaths) that they were always the blocks that had spikes below them. Fun game, I liked the sprite animations. |
| Sep 12 23:11:00 | 97h 35m | Super Clew Land | At first I didn't understand but I caught on. It looks like the orange pucks match to the red dots. Expansive world. Fun times. |
| Sep 14 02:52:00 | 27h 41m | Revolution | I don't understand how to kill the no weapon person with the cowboy suit. That gun was not that great. Going back to the knife felt way too difficult. Graphics were really good. |
| Sep 14 03:01:00 | 9m 00s | Microbe Madness! | This style of game is the game I wish I made with my LD48. I didn't know how to do the controls but you have the right idea with moving the whole colony to the location. I decided to go with more of a long game strategy (picking which evolution group to fight next) but I don't think it paid off as the my battles were pretty boring and long (I also ran out of time to balance the game). Congrats, I really enjoyed it. |
| Sep 14 07:19:00 | 4h 18m | Collect | I just can't get test 5. I got there on my like 5th evolution and now I am on like 40. Kinda boring when I can get through the first 4 so easy but just can't make the shot to get the first dot on test 5. Good game though just wish there was a skip level when you don't need experience any more and just want to get more chances at the one you can't win yet. <br/> <br/>Side note: On the enhanced version I won in 15 evolutions. Great stuff. |
| Sep 15 06:55:00 | 23h 36m | Monkey Trial Turnaround | Solid. I really enjoy the PW:AA series and this was quite well done. Interesting story too. |
| Sep 16 23:58:00 | 41h 03m | Badass | Funny, I like the transitions between areas (waldo, cat, etc.). |
