| Apr 28 16:46:00 | Mime Over Matter | It doesn't seem to be running on my browser (Chrome, win7). <br/> <br/>From the screenshots it looks like a decent enough game and I'm looking forward to trying it. | |
| Apr 28 16:53:00 | 7m 00s | Back to basics TD | Certainly an excellent TD game. <br/>I've played worse 'professional' ones. |
| Apr 29 03:47:00 | 10h 54m | Don't paint me, I'm busy | The music sets the scene really well and the levels are pretty well balanced. I love the strange humour. The graphics could be better but work well with the theme I suppose. <br/> <br/>I like the combat combos and the dialog in particular. <br/> <br/>10/10 would bang. |
| Apr 29 06:18:00 | 2h 31m | Life | It's alright, nice touches with the audio but I'm not really feeling the depth that other commenters seem to have felt. It is a little poetic though, I grant you that. Keeps well to the theme. |
| Apr 29 06:25:00 | 7m 00s | hru | Lovely surreal game. Harder than I first expected, but once I got the hang of it I found it very enjoyable. The sound effects were well-fitting and the ambient sound created a fantastic atmosphere. |
| Apr 29 06:31:00 | 6m 00s | Freedom | It's certainly minimal. I used to be obsessed with these kinds of puzzles. The character's brow probably closely resembled my own as I tried to figure out what caused what in the game. The cat is a strange turn of events. |
| Apr 29 06:37:00 | 6m 00s | Don't Smash The Vase | Not bad, spent more time on it than I would perhaps have liked. Gets infuriating as I sometimes seem unable to avoid crashes. The sounds left something to be desired but it stayed true to the theme. Nice concept in general. |
| Apr 29 06:40:00 | 3m 00s | BR0KEN | Strange, dark and poetic. Seems like there were plans to expand, it's a shame it didn't get finished (Either that or the game is staying literally true to its name). |
| Apr 29 06:42:00 | 2m 00s | Blockade | An interesting variant of chess/checkers. Unusual to see a multi-player game on here, but could have done with a basic AI. |
| Apr 29 06:46:00 | 4m 00s | , | Annoying that there doesn't seem to be any level scaling. I've been started off on 80s numerous times which I find near-impossible to complete. True to the theme although it could have done with a little instruction. |
| Apr 29 06:53:00 | 7m 00s | Ludum Dark | My immediate thought of the game was 'wow, I like the graphics'. I find the audio quite annoying, however, and I had difficulties figuring out exactly what I was supposed to be doing (I read your post afterwards and was impressed with the whole 'multiplayer' aspect. |
| Apr 29 06:58:00 | 5m 00s | Minimalist RTS | Lovely! Wonderful concept! I'm a fan of RTS games as it is, this is truly superb! The audio leaves something to be desired but it's amazing how this minimal game can be so complex at the same time! |
| Apr 29 07:08:00 | 10m 00s | FreeFall | Interesting game; I seem to recall playing a minigame a bit like it on the wii at one point. Except this has better graphics. |
| Apr 29 07:51:00 | 43m 00s | Ramspace | I like it. It's minimalistic, and yet I am completely incapable of figuring out what to do. Nice graphics and more immersive than I expected. |
| Apr 29 07:59:00 | 8m 00s | Schizophrenic Astral Return | Great overall! A couple of typos but a fun and challenging game that manages to stay true to the theme. |
| Apr 29 08:06:00 | 7m 00s | Compactor | Really original, shame there's no sound. Overall a pretty good game! I really like the scaling graphics! |
| Apr 29 08:19:00 | 13m 00s | A Couple of Questions | I seemed to hit a dead end after playing this for longer than I had anticipated. Fantastic ambiance and it's great to see some vocal work too! |
| Apr 29 08:23:00 | 4m 00s | Nothing is True | Like the sounds but they get a little repetitive quite quickly. Lovely animations and the graphics in general are stunning. |
| Apr 29 08:26:00 | 3m 00s | You can't step out of my way so we must fight | 2 players! What?! Love the game, can get a bit crazy. A distinct lack of instructions but it didn't take long to figure out. Very true to the theme and a pretty original idea. |
| Apr 29 08:29:00 | 3m 00s | ::.::::::. | Great game! Eerie music and strange surreal graphics. My favourite! |
| Apr 29 08:39:00 | 10m 00s | AlterSpace | Nice game, although the music gets quite repetitive... Pretty original way of platforming and a good game overall. |
| Apr 29 15:02:00 | 6h 23m | Tiny Runner | Cute and indeed simplistic. Not sure how to handle both obstacles appearing at once. |
| Apr 30 04:36:00 | 13h 34m | Root Route! | I love it! Really original idea (As far as I know, anyway). I found it pretty challenging. Instructions would have been nice, but apart from that a great entry. |
| Apr 30 04:43:00 | 7m 00s | Less is More | Pretty nice game, the graphics left something to be desired although I suppose they were true to the theme. There is a tiny bug on the 'you scored too many points' screen where the arrows don't line up with the options but apart from that everything seemed to work just fine. |
| Apr 30 04:50:00 | 7m 00s | Permanent Destination | I tend to avoid content that isn't 'Web' on LD (Because I'm a terrible person, and I like not having to clear out my downloads folder after each LD), but it looked good enough and the file wasn't terribly big. <br/> <br/>Sadly, when I downloaded it I found myself unable to run the .jar file. I opened it from the command line and it spat out : <br/>Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path <br/> <br/>Does that mean I need to install something? If so, please provide links. |
| Apr 30 05:02:00 | 12m 00s | The Lost Bit | Great game. The music is great, the graphics are great. I like everything about this game. <br/>I was particularly fond of the scrolling text slowly creating the colour codes, too. It's a little thing but I appreciated it. |
| Apr 30 05:10:00 | 8m 00s | Phobius3 | A nice game. A strange game. I like the strange, near-nonsensical messages that came up. I also like the learning by doing way of working. |
| May 3 16:34:00 | 83h 24m | Feint Signal | Well rounded game, but it became a little headache-inducing and tedious so I stopped. <br/>The music is decent if a little repetitive. It occasionally had this strange blip when it started over but otherwise it suited the game well. <br/> <br/>Nice graphics, I really liked the 'noise' overlay effect. <br/>Lost seemingly randomly once or twice but otherwise a good game. |
| May 3 16:41:00 | 7m 00s | One By One | Lovely graphics! The music was so calming, which soothed my annoyance at the 'counting' system which counted non-movements. I got a little annoyed at the movement (I don't like things going the wrong way when I'm under time pressure) but it's hard to stay annoyed at such a nice game. |
| May 3 16:44:00 | 3m 00s | Mini Car Racing | Not much to it but an addicting little game. I seem to recall having a similar game on my phone AAAAGES ago. The sounds became a little annoying later on when it's just beeping at you all the time but otherwise I don't have any complaints. |
| May 3 16:54:00 | 10m 00s | Folding | While the audio did get a little repetitive, I really liked this game. Simple, challenging and fun. I could see this being ported to phones and being quite succesful. <br/>My poor little 3am mind can't handle it so I'm going to try and finish it in the morning. |
| May 15 01:39:00 | 272h 45m | LESS [Last Exit Scary Square] | The audio really added to the mood! Strange game. The lack of context makes it weirder. I love it! |
| May 15 01:43:00 | 4m 00s | Shp Shft Mz | Nice game, although the controls didn't seem to be terribly consistent. Reminiscent of a game I've played before, but I can't remember which. The levels could have been a little more challenging as they only really had one solution. |
| May 15 01:48:00 | 5m 00s | Five | Very simple, nice idea. A little more direction would have been nice. <br/> <br/>Much easier if you scale the window down. |
| May 15 01:57:00 | 9m 00s | MiniMai | Finally! A game with instructions! Overall good, the music was a little repetitive but I loved the sound effects! |
| May 15 02:14:00 | 17m 00s | Factory Consultant | Wow! Such a complex game with so few elements! Started off thinking 'well this is a little too easy' but spent ages playing! |
| May 15 02:25:00 | 11m 00s | Minimalist Art Club | Took me a while to grasp the controls, once I had them, I found them easy enough to use. Sometimes the messages didn't seem to stay long enough to read them. Overall great game! |
| May 15 02:26:00 | 1m 00s | Minimal Moustache | 404. Nice website, though. |
| May 15 02:30:00 | 4m 00s | Guiding Light | Wow! I love the feel of this game. It's fantastic! The level in the dark is pretty challenging. Running down corridors with naught but your own footsteps to accompany you... |
| May 15 11:08:00 | 8h 38m | Adventures !inColour | A bit tedious but suitably minimalistic. The music, in spite of being a 3s loop, is quite nice and sets the mood quite well. |
| May 15 13:34:00 | 2h 26m | Short Fall | Could have done with some eerie music, but otherwise a great game! |
| May 20 08:58:00 | 115h 24m | <Title> | Nice game, if a little tedious. I liked the navigation with sound and in fact the concept of the game in general. |
| May 20 09:01:00 | 3m 00s | Ablaze | For some reason this reminds me of a nuclear reactor simulator I played/used once. |
| May 20 09:10:00 | 9m 00s | Coder | The instructions weren't terribly helpful as to what I was supposed to be doing but I got the hang of it, and soon loved it. Spent more time playing it than I expected, great job! <br/>T'is a bold man who uses vocals, but I think it paid off! |
| May 20 09:17:00 | 7m 00s | Color Blind | I'm unfortunately afflicted with a line of red and yellow dead pixels down the middle of this screen, so the game became quite difficult at about 12. Frustratingly made it to 15 a number of times. Occasionally fucked up and pressed the wrong button and given the movement time it would be nice if it let you change during the glide. |
| May 20 09:25:00 | 8m 00s | Farmer Joe Animal Farm | I really like the art style, but as those before me mentioned, the game is a little slow. I found it really hard - Perhaps I'm not great at typing random numbers, I don't know. |
| May 20 09:31:00 | 6m 00s | Nimin: A minimal sidescroll shooter | Nice one, although I found myself sending sine-waves of death at my enemies, the shooting could do with some kind of limit. |
