| Aug 27 01:42:00 | Evoland | So, uh. I got stuck after getting inside the place with the bats. No idea where to go, can't open the next door, and I've backtracked all the way to the start in the hope of finding new opportunities, to no avail. A bit of help, mayhaps..? | |
| Aug 27 02:39:00 | 57m 00s | 8-Bit Big Bang (that was the origonal name, I never changed it, it was 8-bit) | Cannot run the game in Win 7. The process starts, but nothing more happens. Tried a few times; task manager showed three instances of the process open, but no game showed up. |
| Aug 27 03:00:00 | 21m 00s | Firefly | Yeah, I get some kind of error as well. Don't want to post the error file in this here chatbox, though. Might be a tad long. |
| Aug 27 03:12:00 | 12m 00s | Sandevo - The Evolutionary Sandbox | Something about swinging that sword around, just clicks. So fun. If the game was centered around it, say, full swings do more damage, enemies shield on one side, things like that, that would be really awesome. |
| Aug 27 03:34:00 | 22m 00s | Poggle Island | Cool game. :) <br/> <br/>My only gripe was with crowd control. The cloud was somewhat insufficient, and climate control is more of a "kill everything"-button. Something in between would've been great, I think. |
| Aug 27 03:55:00 | 21m 00s | LEVOLUTION! | Nice game. I managed to get stuck inside a wall, though :P |
| Aug 27 04:08:00 | 13m 00s | The Path for Evolution | Can't really rate the game when I cannot figure out the solution to the first level. Make an E, okay. Make an E in a frictionless environment? How is this even remotely possible? Pix or it didn't happen. :P |
| Aug 27 13:56:00 | 9h 48m | Gravallax | A bit on the easy side - simply driving at max speed while shooting can rack up enough missiles to instakill any enemy you meet. Ususally, you will lose a significant amount of health, but if you simply sit still and let it regen, then repeat, you are pretty much invincible. |
| Aug 27 15:18:00 | 1h 22m | Infected Cell | I completed the game without buying a single upgrade. Very easy due to the enemies always circling along the map edges. By sitting in the bottm right corner cintinually firing left, I quickly destoryed most of the enemies. <br/> <br/>You might want to make it easier to hit when roaming, as the enemies move so fast you really cannot hit them consistently with skill alone, and then change the enemy AI to move more randomly. |
| Aug 27 22:51:00 | 7h 33m | The Darwinizer | Liked it. Could have done something more to encourage combining genes, though. Having some other way to restore health might be a good start. As it stands, I found it most useful to simply chug one health restore gene when at low health, and then switch to one damage one immediately. Rinse and repeat. Worked to complete the game, at least. |
| Aug 27 23:13:00 | 22m 00s | Grow | Have to vote you down because you broke the compo rules by using external music. If it was a jam entry, would have been different. |
| Aug 27 23:29:00 | 16m 00s | Stevie Asteroid Rescues the Hovercredits | Quite cool, albeit a bit too difficult for my tastes. Retrying constantly due to high difficuty rooms in a game with less than perfect controls is not fun. If the controls WERE perfect, or at least really polished, such as in Super Meat Boy, the player will blame him/herself rather than the game. In the game though, that was not the case, as I felt the controls were killing me, and not my lack of skill. I would suggest lowering the difficulty a bit, or at least provoding checkpoints in the harder rooms. |
| Aug 27 23:50:00 | 21m 00s | Evolve & Conquer | Whenever I attack the enemy, his troop numbers increase, and all the troops I attack with perish. Had a planet stacked with 17000 troops, send it against a planet with 1000 or so. The enemy just has three planets, with a total troop count of about 2000. After my attack, the enemy planet has 10000 troops. <br/> <br/>Seems as if the game is confused about who the troops belong to, and give them to the enemy istead of attcking him. Or my troops just really hate me, and all defect :( |
| Aug 27 23:56:00 | 6m 00s | Go Darwin | Great game :D <br/> <br/>My only complaint is an explanation as to how they evolve when you kill them. Say, something like "Darwin gave them a potion which boosts their mutation rate". |
| Aug 28 00:00:00 | 4m 00s | 500 years | Unable to download the game: "Invalid or deleted file" at Mediafire. |
| Aug 28 00:09:00 | 9m 00s | Young Earth Road Trip | This game is awesome :D |
| Aug 28 00:18:00 | 9m 00s | Sidescroller Evolution | Quite a bit too long levels compared to how repetitive they get. Make the levels shorter, so that one failure does not equate to a lot of repetition. Stopped at the flying level due to a collision a long way in. Did not feel like doing all of that all over again. <br/> <br/>Other than that: Great mood and music. Really soothing. |
| Aug 28 01:28:00 | 1h 10m | 42 Stories | Haha. My first story was a gun platform. Kept upgrading it until the enemy could not build above level 1 anymore. :D |
| Aug 28 01:37:00 | 9m 00s | Cellception | That was fun :) |
| Aug 28 01:54:00 | 17m 00s | Panspermia | Get's tedious on larger levels when the asteroid moves so slow. You should up the speed by a significant margin or make a fast forward option. |
| Aug 28 14:19:00 | 12h 25m | Assimilation | A good start. You should work a bit on pacingg the text a bit better. Sometimes, it was fast, others horribly slow. Make it consistently fast. A bit of strategy to the fights would be good as well, right now, all you had to do was run away, shoot, then run away some more. |
| Aug 28 14:49:00 | 30m 00s | How Mosquito Became Human | Liked it a lot! I didn't die at penguins, but that part was a little too long considering the risk of death, in my opinion. Might want to make it a bit shorter, or safer. |
| Aug 28 15:04:00 | 15m 00s | The Singularity is Here! | So many bullets, and really no way to kill enemy ships without letting them hit you back makes for a not very enjoyable experience. The constant humorous popups makes matters worse, given that they cannot be seen through and cover half the screen, thus making you unable to discern whatever enemy ships are hiding underneath. One final problem is the fact that the enemy fires single color projectiles, which become practically invisible on a red background. You should give them a clear edge with an inverse color so as to make them always visible to the player. <br/> <br/>I really liked the fact that you had voice acting, though. :) |
| Aug 28 15:54:00 | 50m 00s | Dragonkin EVO | Runs too fast. The fact that you have to restart the allpication to play agian does not help, either. |
| Aug 29 22:44:00 | 30h 50m | The Evolution Of Stars | This game is GREAT! Couldn't escape becoming a black hole, though. |
| Aug 30 00:41:00 | 1h 57m | Cubevo | One of the few games this LD where I actually thought starting from scratch was worth it. Second attempt - Jetpack Mode :D |
| Sep 3 00:17:00 | 95h 36m | I want to be a Dragon | Yup, the game seems fun, but the hitbox is just too large to provide a fun experience, when coupled with the extremely fast movement speed. I die far too often in situations I should survive. |
