| Aug 27 16:09:00 | RE-evolution: The Legend of Hopper | I really liked the atmosphere and story that you create in the beginning! Graphics and sound really do fit very well! <br/>Sadly, the game is just too hard! Checkpoints (right at the beginning of the cave) and way less health for the enemies would really fit this well. <br/>I almost made the same mistake on my own game but luckily noticed how my girlfriend was constantly raging while trying to beat the game so i toned it down quite a bit in the end. <br/> <br/>I vote for a post-compo so i can see the credits! ;) | |
| Aug 27 16:30:00 | 21m 00s | Cytosine | This is really, really nicely designed... at some point it felt like the enemies really consciously tried to piss me off (in a good way ;)). I like the music and sounds, I like the clean visuals and great particle effects, it's a very well rounded game! <br/>I personally think you could have played even more to your strengths and highlighted the evolutionary part of the gameplay more. <br/> <br/>Also: This is addicting... I desperately need a highscore to show off! :D |
| Aug 27 16:51:00 | 21m 00s | Kryphilis | I like the idea but there are some points that made it less fun for me: <br/> <br/>- I found it really hard to get them to mingle most of the time, the controls are a little unintuitive in my opinion. <br/> <br/>- The balancing and pacing isn't quite right. I couldn't focus on the inheritance aspect of it at all, because they all die so quickly. A smaller portion of the map with less people and a bit more longevity would probably have fit this well. <br/> <br/>Nonetheless, I think there is a really fun mechanic hiding in there, you just need to get it out somehow. ;) |
| Aug 27 17:27:00 | 36m 00s | Digital Evolution by TheJackiMonster | With something as simple as a basic platformer you really have to concentrate on making the basic gameplay elements fun. In this case running, jumping, and fighting. <br/>Sadly none of them are fun at the moment, they are just too slow and not thrilling at all. <br/> <br/>You should make a post-compo version and give us more running and jumping... hence the name "Jump n' Run"! ;) |
| Aug 27 22:07:00 | 4h 40m | The Voynich Experiment | I liked it even though it's quite rough around some edges (e.g. the collision detection edges ;)). <br/> <br/>The one thing it lacks, in my opinion, is some interesting level designs and a proper ending (apart from the "improper" ending which was lovely :D). <br/> <br/>Lovely audio and graphics, though! |
| Aug 27 22:43:00 | 36m 00s | B07s | Hey! I think what your game would have used is lots and lots of actual game design work. It kinda feels like you spent all your time writing the engine and the random level generation from scratch (although of course that's just an assumption ;)) while you really should have elaborated on your base mechanics... <br/>Sneaking past higher security robots and chasing weaker ones could be a lot of fun if it weren't for the really unprecise and unpolished movement and the randomly generated levels which feel pretty much just like that... random. <br/> <br/>I would put my finger on time issues here ;) |
| Aug 27 23:00:00 | 17m 00s | Paradigm Shift | I found the actual gameplay of shooting things that fall into my pit not fun at all to be honest... but everything leading up to that? I couldn't help it, it literally gave me goosebumps! Man, you should have digged deeper into that, deeper and deeper and deeper. <br/>Leave out the very bland shooting thingamabob and play to your strengths which seem to be evoking emotions through interactive storytelling... |
| Aug 27 23:41:00 | 41m 00s | Sorry, i was late! | That was quite fun! It could use some polish on the audiovisual department but you somehow got me hooked... especially mirrored snake was challenging and weirdly satisfying :) |
| Aug 28 00:00:00 | 19m 00s | Guardian of the Evolution | You're right about something lacking from the design... I can't put my finger on it right now but it feels like it's missing focus somehow. <br/>Apart from that it's solidly executed and deserves big bonus points for the pixel penis! ;) |
| Aug 28 00:09:00 | 9m 00s | Gene Binder | Once I figured out how to actually play (which took me a minute despite you tutorial) I was actually sad that there weren't more levels. I smell day one DLC here ;) <br/>An extra layer of gameplay would have been nice. |
| Aug 28 12:51:00 | 12h 42m | Complexitivity | It's a really well presented arcade game, i liked it. <br/>My main criticism would be that you should have tweaked the movement a lot. It's way to floaty and imprecise at the moment which creates an artificial difficulty. That doesn't feel right for a game about movement and reflexes. <br/>Apart from that it's quite fun and has even more potential to expand upon (think different height levels, for example). |
| Aug 28 13:17:00 | 26m 00s | Lucid | Hey! It was really interesting playing your entry, because we took quite a similar approach to the theme. <br/>I love how you set up the mood through your graphics and music and I realized while playing that I should have gone for something similar, especially music wise. <br/>The only things that bothered me were movement and controls. Movement didn't feel very polished or balanced and you could have easily added the arrow keys to your control scheme (just as I should have added WASD :D). <br/> <br/>I liked it a lot and I would love to hear what you think about my game... they compare quite nicely. :) |
| Aug 28 13:24:00 | 7m 00s | Ancestry Haters | I really enjoyed it and yes, we want moar! <br/>More interesting level designs, especially! <br/>The puzzles immediately set my brain into braid mode and I had fun while it lasted! :) |
| Aug 28 14:09:00 | 45m 00s | Lucas's Quest Backwards | Wow! Your game left me feeling utterly confused, empty, and somehow mentally destabilized... i love it ._. <br/> <br/>Great, great humor - I initially wanted to tell you about your floaty movement mechanic and sometimes repetitive level design elements but this crazy weird story just made up for everything. <br/>You had me laughing for the first time this LD - it's just awesome how your characters and the whole game are constantly mocking themselves. Very enjoyable! |
