| Dec 18 04:29:00 | Princess Keeper | i can't believe how much fun i had with this. and everything looks so adorable, too! | |
| Dec 18 04:34:00 | 5m 00s | Let them live | unexpected twist on the theme. in that regard, nice job! |
| Dec 18 05:56:00 | 1h 22m | Jean Jaures Reloaded | unusual idea -- almost feels like the assassin is in hell, and this is his torment. the music makes it hilarious. |
| Dec 18 06:02:00 | 6m 00s | Muffin the Destroyer | when i booted it up, i groaned and thought "another stupid cat game, and an ugly one to boot". i almost closed it, but decided i'd play past the tutorial anyway. <br/> <br/>i'm SO glad i did! that was hysterical! |
| Dec 18 06:12:00 | 10m 00s | Nosferatu | stylistically its fantastic -- there's something very appealing about speccy graphics. but i was never sure i knew what i was doing, and the bad collision detection made me stop caring in a hurry. would love to see this expanded on though. |
| Dec 18 06:17:00 | 5m 00s | Regnant | i really dig the scribbly art. will try getting into this more in-depth later. |
| Dec 18 06:23:00 | 6m 00s | Pet Buster | really love the visuals in this one. |
| Dec 18 06:26:00 | 3m 00s | The Tim Thomery Extravaganza!!! | too many "leaps of faith" for my liking, and tragically lacking a good "silent film" score. looks awesome though. |
| Dec 18 06:27:00 | 1m 00s | Who stole christmas | i can't get it to run... |
| Dec 18 06:40:00 | 13m 00s | Evil Inc. | it looks good and it's a potentially fun premise; but as-is, it's just dull. all i really do is watch numbers go up and click a button when i can afford something. i hope you expand on it after judging is over and make it into something really fun. |
| Dec 18 21:46:00 | 15h 06m | A day in the life of the Minotaur | i often thought about a boardgame where you play the minotaur. great design, catchy tune, and a lot more fun than a game this simple should be! |
| Dec 18 21:51:00 | 5m 00s | Curse You! | cute idea playing off the respect a villain has for his adversary. |
| Dec 18 21:57:00 | 6m 00s | Eaten | catchy 80's-style tune, and awesome graphics that manage to be full of life (or death) despite the teeny resolution. too bad it's really just an alpha build with no win condition. Would be cool to see more elements introduced, like police officers who chase you. |
| Dec 18 22:12:00 | 15m 00s | Ekil-Eguor | essentially a poor man's Dungeon Keeper -- which is cool, since Dungeon Keeper rocked. would be nice if there WAS a menu to return to though, so i don't have to refresh and deal with pop-ups when i want to restart. also, the hero seems to freeze after grabbing money sacks; and in its current build there seems to be no reason to do anything other than fill a large room with minions to swarm and kill the heroes. Loads of potential though. |
| Dec 18 22:21:00 | 9m 00s | Illegal Crime Game | BEST IN SHOW. great scribbly graphics, fantastic soundtrack. i'm setting time aside to really get immersed in this little world. <br/> <br/>there's no wall behind Shifty. might wanna fix that. |
| Dec 18 22:25:00 | 4m 00s | Attack of the Mummy | could be a lot of fun when it's better refined. love the idea of defending my tomb from explorers...but doesn't that make THEM the villains if they're disturbing my eternal rest? |
| Dec 18 22:31:00 | 6m 00s | In My Evil Dream | the screen port isn't great for me -- the font and some graphics are squiggly around the edges. and while the idea of corrupting a good dream into a nightmare is great, the execution is pretty weak. the music's adorable though. |
| Dec 18 22:38:00 | 7m 00s | HeroDontSavePrincess | i agree with zenmumbler. i can't even get him killed on the monster, no matter where i place the block. |
| Dec 18 22:44:00 | 6m 00s | Pet Mr. Snugglebutt | bradleypollard hit it on the head: the fact that i need to find the position-changing hotspot on the cat to make him purr should be better explained. otherwise the game is pretty damn neat. |
| Dec 18 22:48:00 | 4m 00s | Reverse_Shmup | pretty great idea, as bare-bones as it is. would really like to see an expanded version. |
| Dec 18 22:51:00 | 3m 00s | Villain - the game | GREAT idea. would love to see a more developed version with proper graphics and refined gameplay. |
| Dec 18 22:58:00 | 7m 00s | The Plague | couldn't restart the game after i died: the map reset, but i was still dead. and do i have to be near lots of living things in order to create decay? <br/> <br/>love the idea and love how it looks. just needs a bit more work, and a readme file also. |
| Dec 18 23:13:00 | 15m 00s | Missile Rider | damn hard to get the hand of, but funny and awesome as hell. |
| Dec 18 23:21:00 | 8m 00s | Hunt | plays all right but gets dull quickly. the units all seem the same, but wearing different costumes. |
| Dec 18 23:25:00 | 4m 00s | Villain Simulator 2000 | good god i laughed my ass off. |
| Dec 18 23:45:00 | 20m 00s | Villain on a train | pretty damn cute. |
| Dec 19 07:25:00 | 7h 40m | Kill? | there's no substance here at all. i feel like most of the dev time was spent making the models. |
| Dec 19 23:13:00 | 15h 48m | Kleptomaniac | i'd REALLY enjoy this if it wasn't for the horrendous collision detection. |
| Dec 19 23:13:00 | 0s | Bad Kitty | this game is adorable and really funny. |
| Dec 19 23:18:00 | 5m 00s | Land of the Weebums | pointless fun! |
| Dec 19 23:21:00 | 3m 00s | The Legacy | i felt very lonely here. |
| Dec 19 23:28:00 | 7m 00s | Legacy of Hamelin | took me a minute to figure out, but was pretty interesting when i knew how to play. unfortunately, i never felt the pied piper was the villain in the story: the townspeople ripped him off, so he made them pay in a different way. |
| Dec 20 23:54:00 | 24h 26m | Execution Chamber (Now a Jam entry) | oh man this was WAY more fun than it ought to have been. |
| Dec 21 01:22:00 | 1h 28m | Mortal Fear | i can't even tell where the hell i AM... |
| Dec 21 01:23:00 | 1m 00s | Lumberjack | dude, you missed the bus by not calling this "Lumberjerk". |
| Dec 21 21:25:00 | 20h 02m | Spread | the flames always appeared above my head instead of at the proper place. |
| Dec 22 00:10:00 | 2h 45m | Cure 48 | was a little disappointed that the end text doesn't change based on whether you're hero or villain. i played right into your hands, though, and felt like a shithead for killing that one poor blobby. |
| Dec 22 02:57:00 | 2h 47m | The villain's Rules ! | very fun and extremely cute. |
| Dec 22 03:20:00 | 23m 00s | Black Licorice | it's okay. yet another stealth game, just with a kooky candy twist. the visuals are the best part -- they're cute, consistent, and very distinct. <br/> <br/>also, licorice salty? really? |
| Dec 22 03:51:00 | 31m 00s | Super Meter Maid | game wouldn't run, and I'm not sure why. it tried to run; then sat there with the "not responding" message and never changed. |
| Dec 23 02:36:00 | 22h 45m | Super Paper Monster Smasher | looks and sounds great, but gets dull really fast. |
| Dec 23 02:44:00 | 8m 00s | Mansion Massacre | too buggy for me to enjoy. i can't even tell if i'm killing my victims: half the time they just stand there and stare at me after the animation finishes. one time i killed the dude in the chair and he just stood next to the chair and didn't die. then i killed the guy in the bathroom, and the first dude entered an endless loop where he'd run for the door, then teleport back to where he started. |
| Dec 23 02:49:00 | 5m 00s | Rude Bear | absolutely hysterical. the puppet theme is fantastic and the over-the-top hip-hop music just makes it perfect. |
| Dec 24 01:28:00 | 22h 39m | Necrusio and his Machine | It looks okay, although the sidewalk tiles look too similar to the wall tiles, and the perspective doesn't match the sprite bounding boxes. Also seems weird that combat is only horizontal, given the map layout. With polish this could be a fun romp, though. <br/> <br/>Also sad that there's no sound effects, but the background music was pretty rockin'. |
| Dec 24 09:03:00 | 7h 35m | And No, I Won't Tell You What It Is Yet | would be cute and fun if the music wasn't so LOUD AND ANNOYING. |
| Dec 24 09:50:00 | 47m 00s | London Bridges | very cute and fun, although i wasn't too crazy about having to change views between the upper and lower level. the voice work and music really do raise this game from "neat" to "fantastic". <br/> <br/>debatable whether i'm really the villain, though: it's self-preservation! |
| Dec 24 09:52:00 | 2m 00s | Mine Sneaker | level 2 is impossible due to what appears to be input reading. |
| Dec 24 09:57:00 | 5m 00s | No rest for the wicked. | brilliant. absolutely brilliant. |
| Dec 24 09:59:00 | 2m 00s | Super Goon | kinda funny, but that's about it. |
| Dec 24 10:00:00 | 1m 00s | Bank of innocence | freezes about a second after i blow the bank. |
| Dec 24 10:05:00 | 5m 00s | Cookie Caper | not bad, has a nice bizarro vibe to it, and the bubble attack is pretty sweet. but could be a lot better. random enemy placement is terrible: they either bunch together in wads of death or start off stuck inside walls. and the minute i got a cookie i was killed by a bullshit stampede of angry cats. |
| Dec 24 10:06:00 | 1m 00s | Robbie's Revenge | i die WAY too quickly -- before i even get used to the awkward controls. |
| Dec 29 09:42:00 | 119h 36m | Vixen | the lack of audio made the text much more effective (nice graphics too). overall a fascinating little game. really gives the player a taste of how little a person's feelings mean to a bully. |
| Dec 29 10:05:00 | 23m 00s | Trina of The Depths | sooo cuuuute! <br/> <br/>yeah, with story and refinement it'll be better for sure. i don't think the control scheme is terrible; trina's "falling" rate, however, could really use adjustment. if she were to "float" rather than sink like a rock, controlling her might actually be kinda fun. |
| Dec 29 10:09:00 | 4m 00s | The White Rabbit | looks and feels great, but the substance is really weak. |
| Dec 29 21:34:00 | 11h 25m | Rex (Applet) | super funny! couldn't beat the hunter dude, even by throwing barrels at him. hilariously executed concept though. |
| Dec 31 23:14:00 | 49h 40m | Friend of Tokyo | cute idea, although i'm not too sure about the colors' significance. I figured the red "missile" buildings were defenses that would hurt me, but they didn't seem to. |
| Jan 3 11:15:00 | 60h 01m | The Hill | its never established that i'm supposed to be the villain, only that i'm the town outcast, and hence the underdog. for that it fails where the theme is concerned. |
| Jan 3 11:24:00 | 9m 00s | Crime Scene | unexpected use of the theme. surprisingly fun to weed out suspects as the body count rises. |
| Jan 3 11:31:00 | 7m 00s | Lens - The Prologue | it isnt a game -- it really is just a prologue to something larger. in that respect it's caught my interest; but as a standalone it doesn't have the substance to compete with the other much-less-stunning-to-look-at entries. |
| Jan 3 11:38:00 | 7m 00s | SUPER Witch Hunter Pro | its beautiful, fun...and disturbing. the art in particular is really wonderful, and juggling witches, wood, and torch fuel was pretty maddening. |
| Jan 4 06:56:00 | 19h 18m | Who is the villain? | nice idea -- had a board game just like this as a kid -- but very boring in execution. I played three times: won the first two in two rounds, due to the limited number of traits to choose from, thereby almost immediately weeding out my opponent's identity. The third round my villain was "null", and I lost. I have no idea what that meant. Also doesn't make sense that my villain is still among the choices each time -- he/she ought to be removed from the lineup. |
