| Dec 18 17:18:00 | Make It Black | Hehe nice, reminds me of our entry :D (Ninox the Nightbringer, I'll try to include required libraries) The goat at the end scared me, nice game! I'll read your postmortem, I'm curious how you made it. | |
| Dec 18 20:18:00 | 3h 00m | Eaten | Indeed, the music and sounds are nice. It fits the theme, but there seems not be an end/win. |
| Dec 18 20:46:00 | 28m 00s | Virus | Nice graphics (I like how the virus moves!) and cool start. It's fun, but more levels + an end would be nice. It has potential! |
| Dec 18 21:11:00 | 25m 00s | You are the boss | Nice concept, but I miss an intro that explains the story. It works, but I find the controls very hard and unclear. I tried several times, but I only once completed level 2. I missed a 'try again'-button, now I had to restart every time. <br/>Nice way to fit the goat in the story. |
| Dec 18 21:44:00 | 33m 00s | Battle Goats: The Card Game | I don't really understand the rules. It takes too long for the bot to play a card. Although 'evil' and 'goat' is mentioned, I don't think it fits the theme... |
| Dec 18 22:17:00 | 33m 00s | You are the Hero | I like the concept, though if not an ending the game should at least have some progress. The sprites could be better, only the main character looks good. Nice idea for 'dying', but in a game that relies this heavily on text it would be nice if you had put some effort into finding a nicer font. <br/> <br/>I used Python too btw, with pygame. No luck creating an executable so far, maybe on your system it works better. The main possibilities are py2exe, cx_freeze and pyinstaller. |
| Dec 18 22:22:00 | 5m 00s | The Little White Rabbit and the Goat Goatee | I like the game. The story is nice and fits the theme(s). I liked that you had to tap the S key to nibble on the stuff in the home of the little white rabbit. Because you can restart quickly, it is quite addicting for a while, trying to beat your own high score. :) |
| Dec 18 22:36:00 | 14m 00s | Lord Evil's Daring Escape | Doesn't work well here on Ubuntu 12.04... I installed Lua 5.1, made the .love package executable and started it. Arrows up and down worked, but not enter or any other key, except with a huge delay (>1 min). Pressing 'z' after that crashed the game. |
| Dec 18 22:41:00 | 5m 00s | Aliens and the End of the World | Not loading on Firefox 17.0.1 :-( |
| Dec 20 16:43:00 | 42h 02m | Grim's Christmas List | Aargh this is hard! It took me a couple of times to beat satan already, and then there's so much more! Great job :D |
| Dec 20 20:05:00 | 3h 22m | Splonet | Great concept! As others said, the background should be different (spacey imho, now it's not really a planet), and maybe you could use spheres instead of cubes? <br/>The most unsatisfying part is that no skill is required, but I also can't think of a way to introduce that while keeping this simplicity. |
| Dec 21 12:08:00 | 16h 03m | Villain OS 8 | Haha brilliant! The "web" link leads me to a download though, the alternative one gives me the online version. |
| Dec 22 18:24:00 | 30h 16m | GLORPLAX III | Haha, I loved see Glorplax pushing the buttons. The 1 second delay was interesting and challenging, sometimes frustrating. Some parts took many retries, but I managed to get to the end. Nice grin. :) |
| Dec 23 16:55:00 | 22h 31m | Nibble | Nice retro style. Sometimes it was unclear what I had to do, but I figured it out eventually, and then it was quite fun. I didn't like that I had to wait so long till a level was filled with #'s once you finished it. |
| Dec 24 01:44:00 | 8h 49m | GLOBAL Heist | Nice game! It took me a few retries to figure out what the goal was, but eventually I scored 245million. ;) Nice idea, and indeed some hard levels... I thought the screens between levels were too long. |
| Jan 1 14:42:00 | 204h 58m | Super Natural Habitat Destroyer | Most fun game so far! Too bad there's no ending (people seem to get stuck after level 4 or so). Also it took me some time to notice the shop, but that's probably just me :-P |
| Jan 1 15:03:00 | 21m 00s | Fearless | Nice game. When I saw the hints in the comments, I managed to get the other ending. Could use some music and hints in the game itself. |
| Jan 1 17:03:00 | 2h 00m | The Unforgiven Wanderers | I enjoyed playing this one :-) <br/>Is there actually no ending or is that a bug? It just says "You travel onward..." with 0 miles to go, which is a shame. <br/>Also, it would be much nicer to have some story throughout the journey. It's a bit mind-numbing as it is now. |
| Jan 1 18:02:00 | 59m 00s | Neutral Balance | Awesome, and really hard! I didn't manage to let evil win, if that's possible. |
| Jan 2 21:47:00 | 27h 45m | Wearhouse | Nice game! I liked the graphics and the idea of the wardrobe. When I failed a level, the fading in and out was quite slow on my (old) computer, and since the game is quite unforgiving, this annoyed me when I had to retry some levels. |
| Jan 2 22:32:00 | 45m 00s | Sir Cat | The drawings are cute, but the controls are vague and not explained very well. When I finally understood the controls and the goal, I managed to get to the end. :) |
| Jan 4 23:52:00 | 49h 20m | Unhappy Holidays! | Nice game, funny pixel art. The connection with the theme is not so strong, but it was fun to play. In the second and third level my Santa didn't get hurt by the Zombie Elves, so I managed to get to the end. ;) |
| Jan 5 00:11:00 | 19m 00s | Gardener Showdown | I saw some potential in your game, but the execution was not that good or clear yet. I managed to grow some huge carrots a couple of times, but it was not clear what the end of the game was (it suddenly stopped). |
| Jan 5 00:22:00 | 11m 00s | Revenge of the Simian | Nice, but quite short game. Fun to play, but more levels or challenges would be nice. Also here I did not hear background music, but the game itself worked well on my old (>10 years) Windows machine with Firefox. One of our first ideas for our game was exactly this concept. ^^ Nice execution of the idea, but I think it could have something more. |
| Jan 5 02:05:00 | 1h 43m | Hopesington | It took some time to understand the game, but after that, it was quite addictive to try to get full glory. ;) Although there didn't seem to happen much after I did. Anyway, great game! |
| Jan 5 02:38:00 | 33m 00s | Monster Babies | It took me a while to get used to the controls (I guess I didn't read them carefully enough), but after I figured that out, I quite liked the game! <br/>I like the way the different monsters move (especially the grown-up, with the swinging arms), that the monsters have a different color every time, and how the panning of the OYOYOY-sound depends on where they walk. ;) |
| Jan 5 22:27:00 | 19h 49m | Yeah, more like ZomBYE! | *Sigh* I read the instructions afterwards, so I barely ate one human before getting shot - spent 7 minutes after that watching my fellow zombies successfully finish the job : P <br/> <br/>Even though patience makes this game unlosable because of this, I really enjoyed it! Holding space causes the error "Monkey Runtime Error : Sound click doesn't appear to exist" to appear at the top (and the game freezing), but the game is fun already with just the alert function. <br/> <br/>Also, does the greenzone serve some purpose? Awesome that you generate random maps btw, did you write the code for that during the jam? |
| Jan 6 12:37:00 | 14h 10m | Klause Pringle: Eco Terrorist | Awesome puzzlegame! Before I found the 'hidden room' it seemed a bit boring, but the hidden things make it really worthwile :-) In the 2nd level I couldn't do anything, but I guess that's due to the in-progressness. |
| Jan 6 19:13:00 | 6h 36m | Mr. Fluffykins | I used pygame too and initially also just posted the source. There are tools for creating executables (py2exe, pyinstaller, cx_freeze), but I couldn't get them to work on Linux. In the end my girlfriend got pyinstaller to work on Linux, so we finally had a working exe file :-) |
| Jan 7 17:27:00 | 22h 14m | Stealther - The Great Heist | I liked the different guards and levels. It's a pity that you had to leave out the music, that would add some mood. At first I didn't like the slow walking speed, but I got used to it, and it made the game more challenging. :) |
| Jan 7 22:08:00 | 4h 41m | Attractroids | I had to laugh when I saw the goat. ^^ The sound during the dialog was a bit annoying. |
| Jan 7 22:42:00 | 34m 00s | The Darkness | Nice game, I enjoyed it! I hope you get enough ratings. :) |
| Jan 7 23:03:00 | 21m 00s | UFO Game | Haha, I loved the sound effects! Nice game. :) |
