| Apr 29 10:38:00 | NinjaFlare | Loved the colour scheme, the combination worked really well. The Sakura were a favourite! | |
| Apr 29 10:57:00 | 19m 00s | cGame | Loved this one! Smooth graphics and you really nailed the Minimalist theme. No fripperies, no needless concepts. I was pleasantly surprised by the increase in difficulty. Apparently my colour-coordination sucks :). |
| Apr 29 11:18:00 | 21m 00s | MIN | Climbing the mountain was the hardest thing I ever did in my life. Didn't help that jumping sometimes didn't respond quite well. Maybe I stood to close to the edge? <br/> <br/>I loved the graphics. They were awesome. The sound was very good as well. Great and trippy atmosphere, overall! |
| Apr 29 11:34:00 | 16m 00s | I'm Not a Paper Person! | LOVED this. I am impressed with how well this fits the theme. The simple gameplay is pretty addictive (I got stuck around level 7 ><). Colour me impressed! <br/> <br/>Hah, get it. Colour? Because it's in black and white. <br/> <br/>... <br/> <br/>I'll get my coat. |
| Apr 29 12:04:00 | 30m 00s | Mini(malistic) Tank Battles | Really liked this one. Being able to jump with a tank is always a plus. Take that, helicopter! |
| Apr 29 12:42:00 | 38m 00s | The Paper Concord | Lovely physics, a good learning curve and I just love the graphics! Both the scrunched-up paper backgrounds and the way my plane moves. Love it! |
| Apr 29 12:49:00 | 7m 00s | Hopper | 43 jumps! Glad I made it that far. It took me a while to figure out that jumping was the way to score and that the bar was my health. But once I did that, it's kinda fun to try and 'stunt' your way through the mines. <br/> <br/>Love the music! Simple but good! |
| Apr 29 12:51:00 | 2m 00s | Keepy Uppy | Well, defenitely fits the theme! I got 18. Would have loved if the noises you made on a succesful bounce would have somehow created a tune or something. It sorta sounds like that sometimes, but I guess it's sorta random, right? |
| Apr 29 12:54:00 | 3m 00s | KEY | Great design, it works rather well! Loved the game over screen :) |
| Apr 29 12:57:00 | 3m 00s | InVS | Took me a while to figure out it's a 2-player game. Interesting choice! |
| Apr 29 13:09:00 | 12m 00s | Chick | The first time I met the egg, I gave it some momentum as I jumped over it. It prompyly pushed me into the cliff as I came down. I could imagine the chick going "Not coooool brooooo!" <br/> <br/>Little did I know this was just a premonition of things to come. I have laughed and cursed very hard at the cascading eggs down the stairway. <br/> <br/>Cool game, made laugh! |
| Apr 29 13:12:00 | 3m 00s | MOTHBOTS | 85 seconds, 13 energy cells. <br/> <br/>Incredible combination of audio and visual. Loved this. |
| Apr 29 13:19:00 | 7m 00s | Circles | Really liked it! I wish there were more levels to play with :). <br/> <br/>There's a lot of potential here for many different levels, I'd defenitely play more. |
| Apr 29 13:30:00 | 11m 00s | The One Road | Potions are awesome! I was at 22/30hp and it gave me 73/30hp. I choose to interpret this as the shopkeeper accidentally giving me the +1 potion instead of the normal ones. <br/> <br/>Quite charming little game, played it on Hard. Enjoyed it! Great audio! |
| Apr 30 07:28:00 | 17h 58m | The Migration | I made it! 115 fishies! <br/> <br/>Loved the game, made my day. |
| Apr 30 07:31:00 | 3m 00s | Perfect Crime | First try: Okay, that's kinda cool <br/>Second try: BLOOD EVERYWHERE! <br/> <br/>Made me laugh. Lovely graphics, sound works well with it. Would love more content with more 'dangerous' rooms. |
| Apr 30 21:54:00 | 14h 23m | Bladeless | I have walked the bloody path of the samurai for so long I have forgotten why I fight. There is only me, my enemy and our blades. <br/> <br/>What a beautiful game, such atmosphere! Caught the minimalism theme very well indeed. A very good cohesion between audio, video and gameplay. |
| Apr 30 22:03:00 | 9m 00s | Particles | Liked it! The simple gameplay mechanic made slowly more complex is a very good game design. This would defenitely do well as an app on a tablet. |
| Apr 30 22:13:00 | 10m 00s | XYZ | Well executed, fits the theme quite well. The amount of shapes and possibilities are very cool. |
| Apr 30 22:27:00 | 14m 00s | Clone Colony Frontier | Interesting game that would really benefit from some more content. I can kinda see the idea behind this, I was waiting for my clones to start hating each other (themselves?) and start a murder spree, but they never did :). |
| Apr 30 22:36:00 | 9m 00s | Truth Only | I don't care how often they push their lies in my face, I the truth shall set you free! <br/> <br/>Loved the concept, loved defeating the liars. Would have been great if at one point I could've gotten a second hand-gun and wielded the truth akimbo! :) |
| Apr 30 22:40:00 | 4m 00s | Raining Shards | Quite cool, and quite hard when the cannon ups his game! <br/> <br/>I sometimes saw some dove-like things in the screen, but didn't really know what they were. Also really liked the time-warp power up, cool effect. |
| Apr 30 22:48:00 | 8m 00s | NightCap | I think this game was better before it went all commercial. <br/> <br/>Liked it, really dig the shifting between different ethanolic realities :). <br/> <br/>Took me a while to figure out, but that did give me a pretty cool feeling when I did. |
| Apr 30 22:53:00 | 5m 00s | Hurdles | Very cool idea, I've never seen it before! Takes a while to get used to and in my case it degenerated into a bout of fitfull clicking. But still, I like the idea! |
| May 1 10:35:00 | 11h 42m | True treasure of Kartoffelschloss | Very well done, I loved dropping my weapons one by one and even ascending to... what, exactly? :) <br/> <br/>Awesome. |
| May 1 11:41:00 | 1h 06m | Gods Will Be Watching | From the Journal of Sergeant Burden: <br/> <br/>"40 days until the convoy comes. I had to make some hard decisions. <br/> <br/>I set Martin to hunting. He seemed to enjoy it, and I believed we had to use our rifle rounds strictly to fight this cold planet's predator. It turned out I was right about that. <br/> <br/>After fifteen days the Engineeer had finished repairing the radio. I dreaded the moment he told me that the radio was fully operational. BR4ND-ON gave a soft, almost mournfool nod with his metallic head to indicate the Engineer's death sentence. For his effort, I shot him. <br/> <br/>The soldier understood. So did the doctor. His wife did not. I tried talking to her. She would not meet my eyes. The next morning she was gone. To my shame, I can only admit to feeling relieved. I would not have her stirring up the camp with any disobedience. <br/> <br/>The next days were a blur. A constant battle between the cold, hunger and the Medusa virus. Day by day we survived. We ate. We made jokes. And none of us talked about the Engineer or the Psychiatrist. <br/> <br/>When the Orbital Convoy I looked at the Doctor and the Soldier. They knew I did what had to be done. They would say as much about what we did to survive as Marvin did. I made them swear as if the Gods would be watching them for the rest of their lives." <br/> <br/>###### <br/>Loved this game. Loved it to bits. Took me a long while to figure out I had no way to keep everyone alive to the very end. Is it actually possible if you're really lucky, or is it necessary to kill at least on person? <br/> <br/>Also, is there any practical use for killing BR4ND-ON? Except for, you know, being frustrated and going on a killing spree? :) |
| May 1 12:05:00 | 24m 00s | (Follow the) Line | Very minimalistic indeed! I would have loved some sounds with this, it's a very rythmic game. |
| May 1 12:10:00 | 5m 00s | Be The Wind | Very relaxing, love to see the trees grow. Very pretty indeed! |
| May 1 12:19:00 | 9m 00s | Minimalist Dungeon | Cool audio, makes it quite a dramatic dungeon crawler. Curse you, red cubes! |
| May 1 12:22:00 | 3m 00s | Squares | 82 seconds! Gets really trippy after the first minute :). <br/> <br/>Loved the mondriaan homage with the colours. |
| May 1 12:26:00 | 4m 00s | 2001: A Space Oculus | Damn, this seems cool. Great that the Rift has a Ludum Dare entry :). Sad I can't play this. |
| May 1 12:28:00 | 2m 00s | Anthead RPG | Well, the any moves when I press the directional keys! That's pretty cool, but some additional gameplay would be nice :). |
| May 1 12:32:00 | 4m 00s | CUBEBIA | Killed a few pentagons and then they went into super sayian mode. I never stood a chance. :) <br/> <br/>Quite liked it! <br/> <br/>Never did figure out what sneaking was for, though. Maybe I didn't get far enough into the game? |
| May 1 12:37:00 | 5m 00s | Line Knight | This was very good indeed! Captured the minimalist theme quite well while still allowing for gameplay. I was really happy when I found out about shifting the line. Very cool indeed. |
| May 1 12:40:00 | 3m 00s | Mini Wars | I couldn't find out how to interact with the game. Am I missing something obvious? |
| May 1 12:45:00 | 5m 00s | Minimalism | Cute little game, the audio served quite well! I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that catching colours would allow me to see more. |
| May 1 12:55:00 | 10m 00s | We Call it Tactics | I killed 2 soldiers for every one of mine. Viva la Revolution! The island shall be free! <br/> <br/>Cool to see someone use a tactics idea in their game. Want more like this. |
| May 1 13:13:00 | 18m 00s | What Would You Do? | Awesome that you made a .bat file. I had to finish the story and see what was really happening. Well written, I am impressed! |
| May 1 13:37:00 | 24m 00s | Text Adventure | Cool interface. Didn't quite manage to go up the stairs, though. |
| May 1 13:48:00 | 11m 00s | The Call | Another Ren'Py entry, hurray! <br/> <br/>Some really clever bits with the start menu, I love it! The double-loop in the story is well done as well. Poor Dan :). <br/> <br/>The music is quite atmospheric, I like it. |
| May 2 07:18:00 | 17h 30m | The Room | Well done, loved the music! I really liked the lighting up of the computer screen, quite cool indeed. Poor assistant though, there's no way for him not to be patronized :). |
| May 2 07:30:00 | 12m 00s | Dream Island | Wow, totally trippy! Loved the consistent art-style. The camera is a bit odd, though. <br/> <br/>The T-rex with the boombox was my favourite :). |
| May 2 08:00:00 | 30m 00s | Life in a nutshell | Loved the music! You've got the basics right, that's pretty cool! I rather enjoyed the introduction. Also being a Spartan :) |
| May 2 08:27:00 | 27m 00s | Euphoria | The game had a nice atmosphere. I loved the big red supermonsters. <br/> <br/>It often was unclear to me what it was I was supposed to do. Some extra pointers would be handy, I think. |
| May 2 08:36:00 | 9m 00s | Ever Hunting | Managed to get my warrior to level 5, until one of those surprisingly tough Red Imps got me. <br/> <br/>Good audio. Would have loved to have some earlier access to new skills. <br/> <br/>Fun! :) |
| May 2 08:40:00 | 4m 00s | Improbable | Fits very well with the theme. Glad to see storytelling-type games on here. <br/> <br/>The flash to white was very well executed. The story itself immediately gripped me, I wanted to know what was going on. The jellyfish was pretty cool, too. <br/> <br/>The random numbers seemed a bit.. I don't know, forced. Out of place. Like they didn't really add anything. |
| May 2 08:44:00 | 4m 00s | Acorn | Played this on my laptop, sadly couldn't reach the button because the screen was too high :( |
| May 2 08:51:00 | 7m 00s | ShiftWorld | Very cool graphics, loved it! The second level actually took me about ten tries, that second barrel is devillishy difficult! <br/> <br/>Would defenitely benefit from a soundtrack. Also, I think the character could move a bit faster. |
| May 2 08:57:00 | 6m 00s | Lunar Rain | Wow. One of the most finished games I've seen. Love the LucasArts adventure game art style and the animation. But most of all those gorgeous backgrounds. <br/> <br/>The story itself was interesting. I really wanted to know why she's there. Also, Rain is a pretty cool name :). |
| May 2 09:01:00 | 4m 00s | Your Efforts are in Vain | Cool idea, awesome music! The black square on the black background kinda doesn't work for me though. |
| May 2 09:09:00 | 8m 00s | Minimalistic Life | Wow. That's a really cool idea. And synched up great with the piano tones! Awesome! <br/> <br/>It did get a bit too difficult for me to figure out what shapes were good and which weren't. But all in all, really cool! |
| May 2 09:21:00 | 12m 00s | Damn invaders | The second boss did kick my ass.... <br/> <br/>Loved this. You really nailed the minimalist theme. The introduction made me laugh, commander cube really has a hard time with his cube cadets. I think it's great how getting bigger makes you more powerful but also more vulnerable. <br/> <br/>One of the better entries I've seen! |
| May 2 09:23:00 | 2m 00s | For Victory! | Some kind of timer would have made the goal achievable :). |
| May 2 09:40:00 | 17m 00s | Quest | Cool game! I got the chalice and made a mad dash back to king potato. |
| May 3 11:56:00 | 26h 16m | Maxwell Rush | Quite clever! Love the physics of the thing, pretty cool! |
| May 3 12:06:00 | 10m 00s | Plex | Very cool, great music! The folding mechanic too me a while to discover and I'm afraid I don't get it. Nonetheless, awesomely polished game! Very cool. |
| May 3 23:03:00 | 10h 57m | Double Hydra | Looks good, love the styling, very cool. Immediatly recognized the knights and wizards and everything. |
| May 5 13:12:00 | 38h 09m | Dragon Drop | Haha, this was really funny. Took me a while to figure out, loved it. Very clever. |
| May 5 13:20:00 | 8m 00s | rainwalkers | Great mood. Sadly, I didn't meet any Rainwalkers. |
| May 5 13:28:00 | 8m 00s | Broke Down | Loved switching between verbose and minimal. Extremely well done. I loved how it all just 'fit' when switching between the two styles. <br/> <br/>Such a sad little robot. At least that's my theory ;). |
| May 5 13:41:00 | 13m 00s | Tendril | This kept me busy for quite a while! Never since my first driving lesson have I had so much trouble making corners. |
| May 5 14:42:00 | 1h 01m | Four Scepters | Very damn good. I thought Gods will be watching was the best, but I liked this better. |
| May 5 14:58:00 | 16m 00s | Fazed | As a professional drunkard I would like to express my gratitude for someone bringing to light the horrible plight that is trying to walk while drunk. Let alone the impossibility of finding one's drink. Hurrah, good sir! |
| May 5 15:13:00 | 15m 00s | Stargazers | Very cute little theme. This would do very well on a tablet, I think. |
| May 5 15:20:00 | 7m 00s | Dream Fishing | This was awesome. Very relaxing. I loved the Philosopher fish. <br/> <br/>Boobs lol. |
| May 10 15:45:00 | 120h 25m | Duds | Kinda cool, interesting concept. The ultimate button was awesome. |
| May 10 15:54:00 | 9m 00s | Togglio | A slow start but eventually it gets cool. Would have benefited from slightly faster gameplay in the beginning, the first few levels were a bit too easy. Also, maybe making each side of the island switch colours seperately? Enjoyed it! |
| May 10 16:26:00 | 32m 00s | Potato Dungeon | Wow, one of my favourite entries. Enough difference in gameplay to keep it interesting and the end boss was quite a blast. It gave me some serious Zelda flashbacks, only in this game the idea is executed cooler, much more energetic. <br/> <br/>Loved it! |
| May 10 16:47:00 | 21m 00s | Mustache Armies | 42 soldiers used. Awesome! Love the gameplay and finding out that you get more soldier dudes each playthrough :). |
| May 11 08:39:00 | 15h 52m | essentia | Really liked this one, very beautiful art style. Getting wings was awesome. :) |
| May 11 08:50:00 | 11m 00s | Minimalist RTS | This is actually a really cool take on minimalism. I really enjoyed it. Took me a while to figure out to win, but then I realized it's not about matching all the lanes, just winning in one of them. Well executed! |
| May 11 09:03:00 | 13m 00s | Square Heart Flower | Loved the way you handled the theme. At one point everything turned black and I was confused for a moment before I saw the moon and realized it was night. Awesome. <br/> <br/>Great music, loved the dialogue system (even if I didn't quite get it when I had to reunite the green and yellow block) and very well done indeed. |
| May 11 09:06:00 | 3m 00s | Battery | Really awesome, loved how the gameboy moved left and right. And the graphics set is indeed just like it! Well done indeed! |
| May 11 09:14:00 | 8m 00s | Join | Very good audio, loved the sound effects when the screen is wiped. The introduction of other blocks is done quite well. |
| May 11 10:20:00 | 1h 06m | 28 Pixels | I was pleasantly surprised. Cool game and intro screen! |
| May 11 10:23:00 | 3m 00s | Winter's Bane | At one point Winter hit me so hard I was launched and the camera couldn't keep up :). |
| May 11 10:31:00 | 8m 00s | DeaN | Sadly it bugs when I need to gather a 100 souls. Love the idea, very thematic. The gameboy graphics just rock :). |
| May 11 10:41:00 | 10m 00s | Dungeoneer | Well written! I loved the trap-sense, a great mechanic to deal with re-reading parts of the story. Also, the way the different choices are presented in the second part of the story is just awesome! <br/> <br/>Really cool way to tell a story, loved it! |
| May 11 10:45:00 | 4m 00s | Running With Swords | Wow, this game is super harsh. I like it! It reminds me of the old NES-era games where you learned or you died (kind of like an 8-bit Game of Thrones ;)). <br/> <br/>I got into it a few tries in, when the controls started making sense. Didn't make it easier though! Overall: liked it. Maybe ramp up the difficulty slower, a little bit? The controls were okay, but would probably work really well on a tablet, with touch-controls. |
| May 12 17:58:00 | 31h 13m | This is not a minimalist game | Wow, this is awesome. The game flowed naturally for me, no need to look through the walkthrough. I loved how things grew slowly, great take on the theme! Defenitely one of the more polished games I've seen. |
| May 12 19:20:00 | 1h 22m | Nod | I rather enjoyed this one. Got her to date me, yay! |
| May 12 19:23:00 | 3m 00s | Snake In A Cube | Cool music, great idea! Sadly my 3d-skills are not quite good enough to easily eat cubes :). Cool idea though. |
| May 19 11:45:00 | 160h 22m | Brushman by Digital Apathy | Lovely! Tight level design, good music and a cool concept. One of the better entries I've seen. <br/> <br/>Of course it wouldn't be a comment with some points of improvement :). Sometimes my red squares would not get their black borders. I could still jump on them just fine. |
