| Dec 17 06:02:00 | Lil Assassin | It looks like it's in JavaScript -- how about posting a link we can play? | |
| Dec 17 14:35:00 | 8h 33m | Necrominously Evil | This is an interesting concept and I like the minimalist design. I had a hard time figuring out out -- even just that I can use WASD to move around (Originally I was clicking and dragging the compass?). Eventually I got the hang of it, but I was unable to find the beep in the last room. |
| Dec 18 04:36:00 | 14h 01m | Dig-Dug Dungeon | I loved the music and once I figured out the somewhat unusual controls I had a good time building out my dungeon! Both times I played I died unexpectedly -- I didn't see any knights near my reaper at all, they all looked to be in some other box. :( Maybe I just wasn't paying close enough attention. A good entry! |
| Dec 18 04:45:00 | 9m 00s | EVIL SIMULATOR 2000 | Worth it for the fantastic pixel art! Awesome! <br/>The game is hampered by the speed of my attacks, I think. I'm unable to do much other than get on the high ground and shoot my blaster at the tops of guy's heads while they can't reach me. If I could jump and slash with the right timing, I think it'd be fun to move around more. <br/>Made it to wave 6 before deciding I wanted to see the game over screen (there isn't any :)). |
| Dec 18 04:49:00 | 4m 00s | Villain OS 8 | Hell yes! I loved this simple short game. Petting the cat is a great mechanic, and chasing the satellites down this way is a nice little challenge. Full points for mood and graphics! |
| Dec 20 05:17:00 | 48h 28m | YOU ARE WASPS | I AM WASPS <br/> <br/>I liked how the personal vendetta came out in the introduction and the character graphics are quite charming! :) I stung all those suckers!! |
| Dec 20 05:26:00 | 9m 00s | HenchManager | I liked this idea. It was fun trying to manically keep the heroes from penetrating the base, and I had limited success (mostly by dodging their shots, keeping them preoccupied with trying to kill me). But I found it hard to get my characters to do the stuff I wanted them to... they were usually deadweight. Maybe I just missed something about the controls? |
| Dec 20 05:35:00 | 9m 00s | BREAK! | I had a good time! The stealth stuff was occasionally random, but it was fairly forgiving since I could spend a little time with the lasers and not die. And there were enough checkpoints that it wasn't frustrating. I think it needed some sort of climax at the end...? |
| Dec 20 05:40:00 | 5m 00s | Rainbow | This was really good and a nice outlet for the melancholy that you were cultivating. :) I was impressed with the quality of the rainbow graphics given it was running in the browser and made a mental note to try out whatever you did some time. The art and music and story are great. I made it through several levels but when I came back to it in the morning the game was not responsive (maybe just a Chrome problem), so I still need to play through the whole thing. It desperately needs an undo function or some way to zoom in or slow down time, because most of the time when I lose it's just because I held the mouse button for 1ms too long in some tight situation. Really creative though, great overall. |
| Dec 22 18:12:00 | 60h 32m | Drive-over | Haha. I had a good smile at this! The audio is very good; the graphics are charming and funny. I thought the graphics seemed a bit buggy, particularly when I turned. Would have been quite fun with a goal or race or something! |
| Dec 22 18:18:00 | 6m 00s | Dr. Villano | Great! My favorite are the graphics, but the music and sound are quite good too. I only wish I didn't have to keep clicking the mouse in order to keep shooting. It's bad for the RSI! |
| Dec 22 18:26:00 | 8m 00s | Silent night | Very nice! There's a bit too much luck for my tastes because the guys are somewhat unpredictable, but that's what makes it tense! The graphics are really really good. |
| Dec 24 02:39:00 | 32h 13m | ASMOSNOS | Really lovely graphical style!! I wish the container had forced an even pixel ratio; on my screen I noticed some jitteriness as things scrolled. |
| Dec 24 02:58:00 | 19m 00s | Responsibilities | Man, this game is super weird. The graphics and music are great. In addition to the difficulty that seems purposeful (invisible mazes), I had a hard time because I think it assumes my full screen resolution is a different aspect ratio than it actually is, so I often had my character off-screen and couldn't figure out how to get him back. That would be worth fixing! I would also usually miss text because it only displayed on a single cell, but most of the time I was tap tap tapping away to move more quickly. |
| Dec 24 03:07:00 | 9m 00s | Ore Chasm | I liked the graphics and the controls a lot! I played a number of times, but I found it way too hard to get enough gems to even repay the cost of the fuel it took to get them. Maybe just make refueling free? |
| Dec 25 00:32:00 | 21h 25m | Klause Pringle: Eco Terrorist | Good! It was fun to find the extra hidden stuff, though I couldn't find the goat. Hints?? |
| Dec 25 04:57:00 | 4h 25m | Hat | Not much of a game here so it has to hang together on story and art -- I thought the story was good, though maybe a bit hard to believe that the character didn't understand graduation hats, but understood killin' for money to buy a hat? Wouldn't he just steal a hat from a store? Still, I had a good time and the art was great. |
| Dec 25 18:36:00 | 13h 39m | Cookie Caper | The sound and music was good; really made me uncomfortable! The game is mostly about getting speed powerups and collecting health, it seems, though I died as soon as I reached the mom. :( I didn't have the patience to start over after all that walking! It's possible for dropped cookies to get stuck in walls, which makes the game unwinnable. Fun and weird. |
| Dec 25 18:39:00 | 3m 00s | Super Goon | Funny! But of course, not much of a game. :) I still enjoyed it. The pause before the hero comes was just right. |
| Dec 25 18:46:00 | 7m 00s | Reverse_Shmup | The best thing about this is the gameplay balance -- the player acts pretty realistically and it's about the right difficulty to trap him! With some shmup graphics and music and a variety of enemies you'd have a winner. Pretty fun! |
| Dec 25 19:26:00 | 40m 00s | Hero Must Die | This was great! This idea only works with a good AI, and yours was quite adequate. The only level that I found to be a puzzle was #5, but every one was fun. Gameplay wise, this is one of my favorite games of the compo so far. |
| Dec 25 19:50:00 | 24m 00s | Goat SLAYER | I couldn't kill the mother goat! The second time I tried to make it through without killing any goats, since I don't like killing the poor animals (cept maybe the ones that shoot me, because then it's self defense). <br/> <br/>It would be good to indicate damage with sound or something like that. <br/> <br/>Great music! |
| Dec 25 20:00:00 | 10m 00s | The Villain | I had trouble figuring out the controls at first (should have read the menu -- why not just put them on the title screen?). I stole some gold coins! Is it really possible to steal the flashlights? I couldn't make it happen but that'd be great! |
| Dec 25 20:22:00 | 22m 00s | Split 'Em Up | Cute! Good idea, and gameplay seems pretty balanced. I love the critters that come with me. :) Could have benefited from some audio. Yabba dabba boo! <br/> <br/>High score 15,400! |
| Dec 26 17:10:00 | 20h 48m | The life of a Boss | Really lovely! The graphics room graphics are my favorite part, but the polish on the player graphics and font style and so forth is really appreciated. I wish I could have seen my minions dancing around. The gameplay is a bit straightforward tower-defensey; I didn't feel like I had that much influence on the outcome. Still, one of the most complete and best conceived entries of this compo. |
| Dec 26 17:25:00 | 15m 00s | Super Space Goat Thief Standoff!! | Haha. I love these graphics. I sort of wish I could move, but the hopelessness does add something to the game, and it's not as bad as it seems with the bullet rebounds. <br/> <br/>For games with pixely graphics like this, it helps a lot if the game link has some fixed size container for the SWF where the size is an integer multiple of the number of game pixels. Otherwise there's a distracting (to me) and probably unintended effect of sprites having their pixels change size as they move across the screen. |
| Dec 26 17:40:00 | 15m 00s | FUUUUUU | Some basic ergonomics would help people to play your game: Q/D/Z is a really weird control scheme, and there's really no need to have people run an installer. Just give 'em a zip! |
| Dec 26 18:56:00 | 1h 16m | Final Plan | Wow man, this is hard. I can't get past level one, maybe because I can't quite figure out the rules of how their attacks work. It's a good idea for a turn-based strategy game though. |
| Dec 26 19:03:00 | 7m 00s | Defend Your Treasure | I liked setting up the dungeon. There were a few issues: I found it hard to tell when I was going to be able to place another obstacle; is it time based or gold based? Then, at some point I was able to place unlimited spikes; each one would give me MORE money. Then it was easy to just fill up the screen with them, except that while I'm typing this review the game ended with "GAME OVER HEROES WIN" even though I had like 999999 golds. I think that's just a bug. Anyway, I think it'd be improved with some goal or way to win each level! |
| Dec 26 19:25:00 | 22m 00s | Mitt Romney and the Case of the Sex Doll | Wow. This is the most fucked up LD game I've ever played. It's quite hard to endure, but I'll give you credit for doing something daring, and the ending was somewhat redeeming. Definitely a standout in LD25, for better or worse. <br/> <br/>The music was great, though unsurprisingly I liked what the radio was playing before Mitt's beast mode disc. |
| Dec 26 19:55:00 | 30m 00s | SITH JUST GOT SERIOUS | Graet! Just missing audio. I normally feel like games with non-original characters are kind of missing the point of LD, but this one didn't bother me and I loved the caricatures of these guys. I thought the with the two hanging rocks below was too hard... I tried it many times but it felt like I was just just not lucky enough to get enough coins to keep the lukes from coming in on the top. Maybe I was missing something. Nice work! :) |
| Dec 26 23:41:00 | 3h 46m | Dicktator Simulator | Funny! :) It was pretty fun, too, though I felt that the keyboard controls were upside-down from what I wanted. Mostly I had to wait for the gun to sway over the grey guy, and then I ran out of time. :( |
| Dec 27 01:45:00 | 2h 04m | Raoul V. in You Are Ze Villain! | Very cool!! I lost the first few times but it's pretty easy if you pay attention, and I was happy to learn the secret at the end (and probably will remember that forever now). Maybe my favorite interpretation of the theme yet. <br/> <br/>The controls are pretty awkward (arrows + space + mouse needs three hands!) so fortunately you can take your time. Music and style was great. On windows, the 32 bit version should suffice for everyone, including 64-bit users. Right? |
| Dec 27 21:57:00 | 20h 12m | GLORPLAX III | This is great!! It was quite frustrating but the difficulty was right and I liked playing a new kind of game. The on-screen character made all the difference for me. Reminded me of some lagfests playing DOOM over IP in high school, so maybe that's why I was able to make it through. :) One of my favorites so far! |
