Apr 29 18:03:00 Minimalize I enjoyed this game quite a bit. It was short but sweet. <br/>Good job!
Apr 29 18:13:00 10m 00s WORDHUNTER I think this is a really cool idea but I found it way to difficult to spell out words with such fast paced game-play and constantly moving targets. <br/> <br/>The game felt good to play in general though, the controls felt good and the movement felt solid. I really like the simple look of the graphics too. The particles where a nice touch. <br/> <br/>To summarize, this was a cool game with a nice idea but by the end I was just playing it like any other shooter and not even thinking about the spelling mechanic. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Apr 29 18:33:00 20m 00s Bug Hunting This was a solid fun game to play and very pretty visually. <br/>I found the controls quite interesting and different once I got used to them. <br/> <br/>The only real fault would be the lack of any other enemy types. (From what I ran into. I got to stage 5.) <br/>It would have been nice to have seen some variation. Also some sound would have been nice. ;) <br/> <br/>Awesome game, well done!
Apr 29 18:42:00 9m 00s Mr. Triangle This was a really cool idea and I love the visuals. You picked nice colors and used simple shapes in a very pleasing way. <br/> <br/>I agree with Ty Taylor however in that the lives system really hurts the game. It's very annoying to be set back. I'd rather have a shorter game with unlimited lives than have to play through the first few levels a bunch of times. <br/> <br/>Other than that though, fantastic game. I really like it.
Apr 29 19:01:00 19m 00s Timothy's Adventure I really enjoyed my time with this game. I found the gameplay to be pretty solid and the amount of variation in the enemies in combination with the shop upgrades kept it fun for a good while. <br/> <br/>I do have a couple things that I'd like to nitpick about though: <br/> <br/>I feel like the graphics where a little weak. I understand it's meant to be simple but they lacked some style. (Except the bad ass player with his top hat.) I also found that the particles often hid bullets, especially the little red lightning bolts which was pretty annoying. <br/> <br/>The music was fairly nice but looped far too quickly and the lack of sound effects was a bit of a shame. <br/> <br/>Other than that though I had a good amount of fun with this game and by the end I was the destroyer of all things. (I also think the game might have glitched and made me invincible.) <br/> <br/>None the less, good game. Well done!
Apr 29 19:16:00 15m 00s A Scholar In The Woods This was a really interesting game. I really like the story it was telling and I'm amazed at how much scripted movement you managed to include for the people. <br/> <br/>The graphics where however a little messy looking though and the lack of sound was quite noticeable in a game that focuses fairly heavily on atmosphere and story telling. <br/> <br/>Having said that, I did really like the game up until the man started following me and I accidentally walked into a position where he was blocking the only exit. That made it impossible to progress any further into the game which was a real shame. <br/> <br/>Good work all the same.
Apr 29 19:27:00 11m 00s Cyborg Computing Jet Fighting This seemed like a good start to a game but there's really not enough there to be that fun. <br/> <br/>The core movement was good and the basic enemies where nice but it was way too easy. I didn't even realize that the final enemy was a boss until I read your post. Un-pausing the game between each level was also quite annoying. <br/> <br/>Anyway as I said, good start but needed a bit more. It seems like you had nice foundations but just didn't have enough time to make a full game. <br/> <br/>Kudos for what you have managed though, I imagine writing a 3D OpenGL based game takes time.
Apr 29 19:42:00 15m 00s Less is More? Very cool idea and well executed. I really like the gameplay and the graphics are simple but still stylish. <br/> <br/>I found experimenting and seeing how all the different materials interact with each other really interesting. That combined with good level design kept me going through the game. The music is also nice and calming. <br/> <br/>Great job!
Apr 29 20:06:00 24m 00s Nova Jump : A Space Adventure This is a really neat little game. The graphics are really nice and the gameplay feels nice and smooth. I like the momentum, it gives the game some proper depth in the absence of manipulable jumping. <br/> <br/>I did have a few problems though: <br/>Some times the camera wouldn't follow fast enough when I was moving at a high speed. I also found that the camera shaking effect was a little too much and made it very difficult to see. I understand that you did that on purpose to make it challenging but the fake platforms are extremely difficult to avoid because of it. <br/> <br/>I also ran into a bug where if I died many times on a level, especially if I got fairly far in, the camera would begin to miss align. After many deaths the player would completely disappear off one side of the screen which made the game almost impossible to play. <br/> <br/>Other than those issues though, this was an awesome game with nice level and I really enjoyed it. I'm quite impressed with how many levels you managed to make within the time. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Apr 30 22:03:00 25h 57m Super 1-Bit Space Arena This game was really cool. It works well with the theme and is really fun to play. Great job, this is one of my favorite LD games that I've played!
Apr 30 22:52:00 49m 00s Kipple This was a really cool game. <br/> <br/>I loved the dialog, it kept me going through the whole game. It was really funny, especially the later stuff. The concept of smashing up things to minimize a nice take on the theme and also fun. <br/> <br/>I'm amazed at how much content you managed to get in and also at the level of polish. Everything felt really smooth, from the transitions and text box animations, to the general movement and smashing things. The graphics where really cute and stylish too, I really like how many different sprites you made for the little people. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Apr 30 23:10:00 18m 00s Too Minimal? Great for a second attempt at a game ever. I liked the art, it fit the theme well and looked fairly unique. <br/> <br/>The game-play was not bad but I found I could pretty much stay alive just by holding right and mashing the jump key. Maybe obstetrical in the air too would have helped. <br/> <br/>None the less, good job!
Apr 30 23:22:00 12m 00s Minimalismism This game is super cool! <br/> <br/>The level transition animations are awesome, I'm really impressed you managed to put together so many in the time given. <br/> <br/>I really like the graphics too, very minimalistic but also very stylish. <br/> <br/>My only minor complaint is that it was a bit too easy to breeze through. Only one jump ever gave me any trouble. <br/> <br/>Great game, nice work!
