Dec 18 17:54:00 ECHO CHAMBER The concept is very abstract, so I find it kind of hard to understand what the game is about. Sure, some tips are given, but to someone who isn't in the mood to delve deep into what it all means, this game is plain boring. <br/>The graphics and effects are kind of cool though.
Dec 18 18:04:00 10m 00s A small village Here are a few things I found could be somehow fixed: <br/>The camera controls - The mouse is still there, and if you ever let it leave the screen and then click... well.. you know. It's annoying. <br/>A sense of purpose - I had no idea what I was doing. At first, I read the text and was like: Okay, which one of these ten dudes is he? And then when I killed all of them, the message changed to tell me to find the king. So I wondered: Where is he? I couldn't find it, and after a few more minutes attempting to, I just gave up. Why was I doing all of this anyway? Who am I? No purpose, no backbone to the story. <br/> <br/>And in the end, I just couldn't find the experience enjoyable.
Dec 18 18:12:00 8m 00s Apocolypse Virus I'm going to quote VDZ because I really think this guy got it right: <br/> <br/>"I don't want to be an asshole, but I'm afraid I just can't really say anything positive about this game. <br/> <br/>The game starts without any explanation whatsoever, leaving you confused about what to do. The gameplay is extremely simplistic. There is no difficulty; you can just hold Z after starting and win automatically. The graphics are ugly and unclear - you don't know who you are, you don't know what that thing on the side of the screen is, you don't know what those things flying past you are, you have no idea how much life you have left (I assume the bar at the top is for that, but it's too small and hidden to read during gameplay). There's no music or sound (not even a simple pew-pew-pew shooting sound), which is often essential feedback on sidescrolling shooters and would be very useful in this game. The victory screen is sudden, ugly, underwhelming and doesn't really give the player a victorious feeling." <br/> <br/> <br/>I'm sorry dude, but the game is too... I don't know, not enough in any aspect. I have no idea what making a game alone in 48 hours alone is like, but nothing in this game seems right or good.
Dec 18 18:25:00 13m 00s Bad Driver! +1 Whoa! This game is crazy! Hahahahaha. <br/>Really, it's pretty good. I like the whole "crazy driver" thing, it's funny and the stupid amount of bonuses in the screen makes this game even crazier. It reminds me of Katamari Damacy! <br/> <br/>But there's things that need improvement: Some sounds would be nice. Really simple ones, that you can find for free on the internet would definitely make the game 200% more fun, a nice song would do the trick even. <br/>The graphics are okay, but then I'm reminded that this game was made in two days by one guy and then the graphics are pretty awesome. <br/>Also the land mine kind of breaks the game in a sense, but it's all good. That's what the reset button is for. <br/>I don't really see the theme much in it, but I suppose the Noby Noby Boy homage makes up for it. <br/> <br/>Good job man, and great game!
Dec 18 18:31:00 6m 00s Crime Scene WHAT IS THIS GAME. <br/>SERIOUSLY. <br/>IT'S GREAT! <br/> <br/>I can't really see anything bad in it. Is it REALLY a solo game? Like, in 48 hours? Wow. <br/> <br/>It was fun, really fun. It's well-explained right off the bat and the gameplay is smart and rewarding if you play it right. <br/> <br/>Everything in it is very interesting, the graphics are crisp and clean, and it's a very good experience overall. <br/> <br/>Congratulations! This game is amazing. My #1 so far.
Dec 18 18:41:00 10m 00s You are the Asteroid! The game looks pretty good, but it's also very easy once you understand where the enemies spawn and what they do. <br/>I feel like there isn't much to do. Just aiming and clicking is not a lot, but it's a 48 compo, so I shouldn't complain. <br/>I like it though, I really do. The graphics are very appealing. <br/>Also there's a little bug that doesn't let you reset the game. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Dec 18 18:48:00 7m 00s Welcome to my dungeon It looks good, but doesn't really play as good. <br/>I got stuck a whole bunch of times, and I didn't understand what I could do besides shoot (there was something else, wasn't there?). <br/>I have to say I really like the graphics and the audio is also pretty cool. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Dec 18 18:55:00 7m 00s Second Skin It's a good and ambitious idea. I like how you are able to switch spells, but a faster mana regen would make the game alot more fun. <br/>The graphics are very simple, but it's at a good standard for the 48 compo. <br/>It's fun, but like I said, would be better if you could use spells more often. <br/>Not much can be said about the audio. It's simple but it's there, which is much more than most others. <br/> <br/>Congratulations on this great submission.
Dec 18 19:09:00 14m 00s Knights of Uruk MAN! This entry is amazing! <br/>It has amazing graphics, good audio and a great bit of gameplay. It even has upgrades! <br/>For a 48hr compo, this definitely looks more like a Jam. It's great and deserves to be acknowledged. #1 Compo to me so far. <br/>The controls are sometimes a bit buggy, but that's expected. <br/> <br/>Great job!!
Dec 18 19:31:00 22m 00s Princess Rush Absolutely great game! <br/>Good graphics, lots of units and all that. <br/>It's a bit hard and the archers miss a bit too often, but it doesn't set the game back too much. <br/> <br/>Amazing entry!
Dec 18 19:37:00 6m 00s Nature's Villain Awesome game. <br/>Great graphics, great gameplay, great everything. <br/> <br/>Bravo!
Dec 18 19:41:00 4m 00s Do Not Help The Princess The graphics are great. The game was a bit hard for me, but I may just be a noob.
Dec 18 19:44:00 3m 00s 2012: Mayan Revenge Amazingly good entry. I'm definitely impressed!
Dec 18 19:47:00 3m 00s A Light To Kill By I usually really like point and click games, but this one just didn't have the feeling for me. <br/>Good graphics though.
Dec 19 17:39:00 21h 52m EvilCakes Cool game! But as some already said, sometimes you can't get the crystals. <br/>Cool walking way! x2 hehehe
Dec 20 16:01:00 22h 22m Snap Cool and creepy! Killing myself for more points is a nice 'shoot'.
Dec 20 16:24:00 23m 00s Infernal Goat Good mechanic game for tower defense .The painting graphics are beautiful! But missed the contrasting of background.
Dec 20 16:39:00 15m 00s The Banker Cool and funny game! :) <br/>Steal clothes!
Dec 20 17:02:00 23m 00s Murders at the Mansion Clue game, but the villain version! :) <br/>Very good game, mechanics and idea! <br/>Just for open/close the doors is hard to do
Dec 20 17:15:00 13m 00s Planet Xulub Good work for first LD! :) <br/>The game could have a progression in the difficulty each time killed a slime.
Dec 20 17:47:00 32m 00s Project Sproing - Bytt Strikes Back! Cool game! I like the idea to "see" how "bowser" constructs the mario levels. hehehe :) Promising game!
Dec 20 18:37:00 50m 00s Villainscape The idea of game is good, but the collision and the path to escape need to be improved. Good work, cool game!
Dec 20 19:03:00 26m 00s Make It Black that was so good, gongrats, the main character is very charismatic! <br/>the vomit mechanic was cool, but a little rough on the edges <br/>great game, nice attention to the details, just a little too easy maybe
Dec 20 20:09:00 1h 06m Tale of Scale thats was great! <br/>the mechanic is so outside of reality that it looks like a nightmare or a dream, i'd like to play more games like this
Dec 31 08:15:00 252h 06m Double Tap Great idea. I love these graphics!
Dec 31 09:20:00 1h 05m Heroes are so Annoying! It reminded me Lassic! Phantasy Star :)
