Aug 27 10:37:00 AntZ Evolution The ants don't move around very much, often going back and forth between the same two points for ages, so it can take a very long time with you just sitting and watching. I kind of like the idea but the game as entered isn't much fun. There needs to be more for the player to do so they can feel a bit more involved.
Aug 27 10:52:00 15m 00s Space Amoebas Good idea, nicely executed. Liked the music!
Aug 27 11:29:00 37m 00s Invaders: Evolution Ha, "Trade Envoy" my bum. Let the guy on the first level get to the bottom to see what happened and I lost anyway! :D
Aug 28 13:30:00 26h 01m Rise of the Morbels Loved it, though as already mentioned there was a certain amount of waiting around for the right alignment. On the later levels crossing water was tricky too because whenever I tried to activate the carriers I would usually activate 10 other things instead. Great story, great voiceover.
Aug 28 21:31:00 8h 01m Yellow Dog Wonderful!
Aug 28 21:41:00 10m 00s Deal with It Kind hard :p
Aug 28 21:47:00 6m 00s LimiT The last bit was, uh, a slightly different tone to the rest. Very nice graphics, and well paced so it kept interesting.
Aug 28 22:15:00 28m 00s Cellvolution I'm colour-blind so it was a pretty frustrating game experience :p
Aug 29 11:09:00 12h 54m RUN RUN AMOEBA Controls felt sluggish somehow
Aug 29 11:30:00 21m 00s Transmogrify Couldn't work out what the "step" value did. <br/> <br/>Got lots of upgrades all at 20 degrees so I couldn't get hit, second guy was still invulnerable behind his shields. Boring! Was deliberately getting killed to get more upgrades but nothing worked. <br/> <br/>Refreshed the game... got an invulnerable enemy on the third level instead.
Aug 29 22:11:00 10h 41m Super Charles Darwin Bonus points for Wilhelm scream! <br/> <br/>Very hard game, you don't go very far when you jump, do you? :)
Aug 29 23:16:00 1h 05m Virus Hunter Really loved the upgrade mechanic, nice work!
Aug 30 23:34:00 24h 18m Game-Age The last game was bit of a mess. I saw something about there only being one breakout ball or something? The instructions didn't make any sense so I clicked through to the next screen to see if I could figure it out and I couldn't. <br/> <br/>It seemed like I *should* just be flying around killing things, but: <br/>* Key controls were mushy. <br/>* I seemed to move around the screen almost at random - not just resetting to the middle when you die, just moving around all over the place without touching the controls. <br/>* The rate of fire was very low and movement is slow so it was very hard to shoot or avoid anything. <br/>* Shooting happened on mouseup rather than mousedown which feels really unnatural if you click rather than hold - makes it hard to aim at the right time. <br/>* I died over and over and over again on the last level and just kept getting respawned in the middle... until one time I got "Game Over". What was special about that one time? <br/> <br/>I hope this is constructive rather than mean, your game is certainly better than mine and these are all the kind of things that are hard to get right in a game jam.
Aug 30 23:46:00 12m 00s OS: Evolution I admit it, stuck on the second level, watched the video instead - though I intend to come back to this one. <br/> <br/>One comment on the gameplay - burning through the blocks isn't really a puzzle most of the time, because you can see exactly where you have to go. A lot of the time you don't need skill either. Seems a bit of a time sink. Everything else looked awesome :D
Sep 1 23:09:00 47h 23m The Tower with Traps in it Amazing
Sep 10 00:12:00 193h 03m The World of What? Looked and sounded great but didn't really know what I was doing. There doesn't seem to be any limit to how often you can use the abilities, and no way to control anything that happens. After clicking buttons for about 10 minutes the bottom bar disappeared and then I was back at the menu. I don't know why. Did I win? Did I lose? <br/> <br/>Because I didn't know what I was trying to achieve, I didn't really care what happened. Without some guidance the game is just boring. Sorry!
