| Apr 29 09:08:00 | One Space Away | Nicely done! I really like how you interpreted the theme with minimal controls; it's impressive how much control you've given the user through the use of just one button. Also the plane is awesome. | |
| Apr 29 09:36:00 | 28m 00s | Darkness | Not bad at all. Could be quite creepy actually if you added some gribbly creatures to eat you (although that might make the game less minimalist). You've done the lighting well. <br/> <br/>Obviously it worked for me but I develop in DBP so I have everything set up for it. I'm on Windows 7 x64 and got the same blank screen at the start but a single left mouse click fixed that for me. For the people who can't get it to work, DBP is reliant on DirectX 9c so you'll need that to get it to run. LrdKzrth maybe you could include the DX9c installer in the download for the people who need it? And I didn't need admin permissions. <br/> <br/>I noticed a couple of hitches (getting caught on rocks, white lines across the screen when the battery is about to die and the highlighted exit text displaying twice) but overall, a good showing. Well done. |
| Apr 29 10:33:00 | 57m 00s | The Unseen | Really outstanding game; well done! I was so shocked when I did the first explosion and found out where I was! I think I was happier when it was all just blank squares ;). Excellent graphics and the sounds developed the mood wonderfully. <br/> <br/>Like other people, I had a few issues with collisions and the graphics sometimes had problems when I didn't play in the default res and fullscreen. My biggest complaint is probably frustration. I've played for about 45 minutes and I still can't find my body. I'm not sure if it's actually there or whether you are making a profound point about the fruitlessness of seeking to undo the past or something! <br/> <br/>Anyhow overall an outstanding entry. Really, really impressed. |
| Apr 29 10:40:00 | 7m 00s | Return Home | Ah, takes me back to those long school lunchtimes playing ragdoll avalanche. <br/> <br/>Good use of minimalist graphics. They are genuinely minimalist meaning that they look great through simplicity, rather than just being basic. I'm impressed by how entertaining you made the game. I ran the web version and it ran just fine; no lag at all. And the black hole is kind of evil! |
| Apr 29 10:51:00 | 11m 00s | Pixl | Effective use of minimalist graphics and entertaining gameplay. Would have been better if I had a second player but not bad played as single player either! |
| Apr 29 11:01:00 | 10m 00s | My Hair Is On Fire | Rofl that's quite funny. Enemy stacking is a bit annoying as it means if you collide with the stack, you instantly die. Still a solid entry; well done. |
| Apr 29 11:08:00 | 7m 00s | Don't Get Wet | Very innovative way of intercepting the raindrops; I like the randomness of them. Android build sounds interesting as I think it would be fun on a touch screen. Well done! |
| Apr 29 11:17:00 | 9m 00s | Arcane Siphon | Really interesting concept, but perhaps a little ambitious for an LD. Glad to hear you're going to make time to develop the idea though as I think it has great potential. As other people have already mentioned, the enemies are a bit brutal and there doesn't seem to be much reason not to just drain all the life out of everything (moral questions aside). Still, well done, particularly for your first LD! |
| Apr 29 12:04:00 | 47m 00s | Where is Pixel | Not bad. Opera House on hard was very difficult I found. A few graphical hitches (I'm playing on Windows) but overall pretty good. I liked the soundtrack. |
| Apr 29 12:25:00 | 21m 00s | MONO | Outstanding game! It's the level of polish that amazes me. This is the kind of game I start the weekend thinking I want to make before I cull all the features; but you've managed it so well and got everything in! The music is just right, the mechanics are polished, but best of all, the levels are brilliantly designed. In the light level for example, I was a bit frustrated about having been sent back to the start, but then I realised that you'd unlocked a teleport for me so I could get back to where I was. Really exceptional work. Best I've seen yet. |
| Apr 29 14:52:00 | 2h 27m | Rocky Flight Balloon | Fun little game. Good minimalist gameplay and art style. <br/> <br/>So the fact that the canyon is collapsing has nothing to do with why the character has decided it might be a good time to get out of the canyon? ;) <br/> <br/>Anyhow well done. Good game. |
| Apr 29 15:14:00 | 22m 00s | Employment | Nice take on the current job market! As other people have said, the left mouse button doesn't work in month three, making it very difficult to complete. |
| Apr 29 15:28:00 | 14m 00s | Arco | Very clever idea and remarkably fun! I wasn't quite sure what to do at first either but it all became clear looking at the video you posted. Very effective, good sound, and a nice interpretation of the theme. I could see this becoming a real time sink ;). Well done. |
| Apr 29 15:34:00 | 6m 00s | Mag Ball | Look interesting but I'm afraid it was unplayable on my computer, even in a very small Chrome window. I could see the ball was there though. |
| Apr 29 16:16:00 | 42m 00s | The epicly short adventure | Fun to play and with a brilliant art style. Hand painting each room really paid off! Unfortunately I got stuck and gave up after about 20 minutes but I'll have another go later to see if I can get further. I was able to breath underwater but I never unlocked a longer jump so there were lots of places I still couldn't reach. Anyhow an excellent entry. |
| Apr 29 16:30:00 | 14m 00s | Minimalism - the shoot 'em up | Simple and seems to be well implemented. Maybe the potatoes are a little too tough but all the same, well done. |
| Apr 29 16:39:00 | 9m 00s | Tactical Spreadsheet | Very interesting take on the theme. I got one guy out but I quite forgot about my other squad members first time through! |
| Apr 29 16:52:00 | 13m 00s | Six Steps | Interestingly designed puzzle game. The controls felt a bit clunky but having limited steps is a very neat idea. |
| Apr 29 17:05:00 | 13m 00s | The Minimalist Fisherman | Really nice art style. Love the lighting and the sea plants floating past. And the fishing is pretty good too. But 10,000 for a raft?? I'm going to be stuck fishing for a looong time ;). |
| Apr 29 17:47:00 | 42m 00s | F*** This Job | Very entertaining with nicely designed levels. Very impressive showing! |
| Apr 29 17:53:00 | 6m 00s | Way of the cuburai | Loved the samurai death poems!! Brilliant. Really nice little game :). |
| Apr 29 21:07:00 | 3h 14m | Seven | Hey this is actually really good. And for your first LD as well! You should be really pleased. It's a nice use of the theme. |
| Apr 29 21:21:00 | 14m 00s | Buried | Nice game but it's the music that really stands out. Well done with that! A little too hard perhaps and the movement controls could be a little easier by overall a great concept. |
| Apr 29 21:29:00 | 8m 00s | Noughts & Crosses | Neat little game. Original idea and love the ending when you lose. Good work with the music too. A few more instructions might have been useful (like that you can only dissolve one at a time) but other than that, pretty good. |
| Apr 29 21:36:00 | 7m 00s | Asteroid Blaster | Not bad! The web version didn't work for me for some reason (just a grey blank box) but the download worked fine. Can't exactly see how it ties in with the theme and it would be nice if the gun fired automatically by holding the space bar down but still, a pretty solid entry. Congrats on finishing your first game jam! |
| Apr 29 21:52:00 | 16m 00s | Soldier of Yellowism | Very original and entertaining entry. Vandalising paintings is hard work! Maybe you should have given the player a little longer, given that you only unlock the next painting if you get 100%. Aside from that, very nice. Good use of WebGL too! |
| Apr 30 07:02:00 | 9h 10m | Squares | Simple little game. Pretty well implemented. Nice particle effect when you die. Maybe show your time at the end? |
| Apr 30 11:56:00 | 4h 54m | WAY. | Very original concept! And it fits excellently with the theme too. I think the last level let me keep going after time had run out, which was actually the only reason I completed it ;). Well done. |
| Apr 30 12:06:00 | 10m 00s | Angry Reviewer | Very cathartic for anyone who's ever published a game to an app store. Payback time at last!! Needs way more abusive words and would be nice if it added the score at the end. In fact, I've added a load more words to the copy I downloaded so I can use it next time I need to vent some frustration about stupid commenters ;). Well done. |
| Apr 30 12:47:00 | 41m 00s | Shadows | Nice idea and great art style. I found the actual gameplay mechanic pretty confusing. Maybe you could add more of an explanation here? What I didn't really understand was why blocks sometimes were destroyed and sometimes were not. |
| Apr 30 13:00:00 | 13m 00s | The Last Barman | Nice idea and solid implementation. Works very well. Slightly tricky to move the guy to pick up the coffees when you're in a rush, but aside from that, very well done! |
| May 11 14:48:00 | 265h 48m | Game of Tao | Very nice game, well tied to the theme and well polished. The right level of difficulty too. All it could have done with is music! |
| May 11 15:38:00 | 50m 00s | Peacemaker | Very well executed interactive story. Creepy and immersive. Really well done. |
| May 11 16:03:00 | 25m 00s | Black on Black | Neat game and well suited to the theme. A little hard though! I don't think I managed to get any black squares, let alone the whole lot! Still, well done. |
| May 11 16:11:00 | 8m 00s | Pixel Burst | Haha this game is insane! And great fun. The speed does make it all seem pretty hilarious. Good work. |
| May 11 16:19:00 | 8m 00s | A cube story | Fun with great humour, if a little frustrating at times. Well done. |
| May 11 16:28:00 | 9m 00s | Lifebloom | Interesting concept. It ran for me (on Windows) but I'm afraid I didn't really understand the combat mechanism. Also it seemed that there were sometimes really long gaps between anything appearing. That said, it's an interesting mechanic so well done. |
| May 11 16:36:00 | 8m 00s | Energy Era - 2D Platformer | Really nice robot graphic. As other people have said, movement is a bit awkward. |
| May 11 16:43:00 | 7m 00s | The Simple Clicker Game | Very amusing and ridiculously minimalistic! "Don't Click Here" is a nice touch too ;). |
| May 11 17:04:00 | 21m 00s | Forest for the Tree | Interesting mechanic! Took a bit of getting used to but once I did, I found it very interesting. I may be wrong but it seemed as though some nodes would be unreachable as they were outside of the spheres of any other nodes. Also it started lagging quite a bit once I built up a network covering around 1/2 - 2/3 of the entire thing. Zooming was quite a revelation! Nicely done. |
| May 11 17:18:00 | 14m 00s | Mini Maze | I thought you did this maze game very well. The distance you could see into the maze seemed about right and the levels were pretty well designed. Well done. |
