| Apr 29 10:40:00 | Pixel Dust (LD26) | Nice job. It took me a couple of tries before I figured out what to do. It would be nice to have a small graphical hint, so you're not stabbing in the dark. Overall, a very playable game. Felt complete. Good work! | |
| Apr 29 10:50:00 | 10m 00s | mesh | Love the graphics and the spinning gear. Fun concept. I got stuck on the 2nd level though. I couldn't get the gear to past that initial u-turn path. |
| Apr 29 10:57:00 | 7m 00s | Folding | Wonderful game. Great puzzles. The bounce backs made me laugh. Great job! |
| Apr 29 11:05:00 | 8m 00s | Starhook | Fun game. This could be a great alternative to breakout. It did start to slow down considerably after awhile though. |
| Apr 29 11:13:00 | 8m 00s | Canon | Fun game, but a little stressful. Too fast for me...I couldn't keep up in relaxed mode! I really like the game play though. The sounds are beautiful and the muted grey graphics are very appropriate. Very nice job. |
| Apr 30 01:14:00 | 14h 01m | Robo-Sheriff: Minimalising Crime | I love the graphics and the robo-cowboy concept, but the game mechanics need a little work. Nice job though, given the time and PC issues you had. Keep going! |
| Apr 30 01:25:00 | 11m 00s | Serendipity | I saw the Zebra the first time, now it just stays on the word "Space" when i go back to it. Definitely belongs in the WTF category! Interesting experience the first time. |
| Apr 30 09:22:00 | 7h 57m | Mondrian's Frogger | Fun concept and nicely done. I particularly like how the tiles changed each time. It was a bit fast for me, but I'm slow anyway. |
| Apr 30 10:01:00 | 39m 00s | BLOB | Great concept and fun to play. I got stuck on level 8 though. |
| Apr 30 11:05:00 | 1h 04m | Brutaliz'Art LD26 | I laughed out loud. Fun concept. Nice build up with the video. |
| Apr 30 11:53:00 | 48m 00s | Twitch 21 | Nice game. I wasn't sure what to do after hitting 21 though. After a few tries, I realized I needed to click the 21 (and go green) before it changed. After I figured that out, it was rather fun! |
| Apr 30 14:15:00 | 2h 22m | Potato Dungeon | Great job! Nice graphics and sword play. Glad to see the potato theme snuck in there. |
| Apr 30 14:37:00 | 22m 00s | (Follow the) Line | Nice and simple, but fun! Music would have helped a little, even if it was just generated music. Great effort overall. |
| Apr 30 14:49:00 | 12m 00s | IN MALI SOMMI | Fun game, it had a nice retro feel to it. Good job! |
| Apr 30 15:04:00 | 15m 00s | Join | Wonderful game. I could see myself losing time with this game. The graphics, audio, and game play were spot on. |
| Apr 30 16:08:00 | 1h 04m | Block Disco | Neat game. I like how the character grabs the blocks when climbing. Nice graphics and audio too. Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the first couple of blocks, but it was fun trying! |
| Apr 30 16:14:00 | 6m 00s | Minimalist Multiplayer | Kudos for the multiplayer idea. Well done. I had a problem on the iPhone, but the web worked great. Loved the audio. |
| Apr 30 16:25:00 | 11m 00s | The Call | Interesting use of interactive fiction. The story kept me wondering what would be said next. Does the ending change based on the questions/answers you give? |
| Apr 30 18:12:00 | 1h 47m | Gods Will Be Watching | This was better than I thought it might be. The story was compelling and I started to feel for the characters, hoping I wouldn't make the wrong decision for them. Nice job guys! Graphics and sound were very great. It started a little slow, but picked up pace after the first few days. |
| Apr 30 18:23:00 | 11m 00s | Antarctic Skirmish | I found this very challenging. I couldn't get my penguins to fight back for some reason. The enemies always overpowered my little guys. That's probably me though! The graphics, game play, and concept were neat. Very cute game. |
| Apr 30 18:52:00 | 29m 00s | Game Formerly Known as BlockBuilder | Found myself laughing at the wah wah. Love that. Fun little game. The harder levels really are quite difficult though. |
| Apr 30 19:07:00 | 15m 00s | A trial by blood and fire | Wonderful, relaxing puzzler. I could lose some time with this game. Great job! |
| Apr 30 19:57:00 | 50m 00s | Sleepwalker | I like the concept. Innovative. A bit dark for my tastes though. I was able to take care of the pills, but wasn't sure what to do with the rest of it. Great effort! |
| Apr 30 20:13:00 | 16m 00s | BASHLAND - Breakout Mario Mashup | This was a lot of fun and beautifully done. Love the painted squares. I really liked the particles too, but felt they didn't match the painted squares. I would have liked to see the particles a little less sparkly and more like the painted squares (like paint chips flying off). I would definitely play this again though. Nice job. |
| May 1 00:32:00 | 4h 19m | The Despicable Caverns of Deadly Doom | Fun and addictive game. I like the game play, but it's a tad too fast for me. I think the lives are fine, but it would be nice to be able to repeat a level. Or, have power ups that give you more lives. |
| May 1 00:38:00 | 6m 00s | The Forgetful Little Square | Wow, I really liked this game. The text cues helped and added to the overall atmosphere. I would definitely continue to develop this out a little further. Outstanding effort for 48 hours. |
| May 1 11:28:00 | 10h 50m | Approximately pi over two | At first I thought it wasn't much of a game, but when I hit the timers I could see the potential. I think you should continue to develop this further. It has great potential to be a fun, casual, puzzler game. If you add touch events via ImpactJS you could make it playable on mobile devices too (especially with the one button action). Nice job. |
| May 1 11:35:00 | 7m 00s | Earthglueobia | I love the creepy sound the wiglues make and the chase is fun. Has some fun potential. It would be great if you could eat and shoot more than one potato at a time though. And possibly make the wings on the Wiglues flap. Nice start! |
| May 1 11:48:00 | 13m 00s | ... | Wonderful game! One of the most playable games I've encountered yet. So simple, yet so much fun. It has a very minimal, retro feel to it, which I love coming from that era. I got stuck on those red boxes at first, but then realized how simple it really was. Excellent job. |
| May 1 11:55:00 | 7m 00s | Mind the Gap | Very relaxing and fun game. It was fun thinking about how to plan out the routes, but I agree the difficulty could be tuned up a bit. Keep working on it, you have a winner here. I could see this as a wonderful mobile app with touch events. |
| May 1 20:11:00 | 8h 16m | Bee Trip | Love the little particles when you hit a mole. Nice work for 10 hours! |
| May 1 20:21:00 | 10m 00s | Hyportee | I wasn't sure what to do at first, but after I re-read the instructions I got it! Fun game! Lovely graphics and the music fit the mood perfectly. Good job. |
| May 1 20:43:00 | 22m 00s | 8 jumps and a fat man | Nice job on the flight mechanics. I liked the graphics as well. I found it a little hard to defeat the enemies though. Overall, great job. |
| May 1 20:49:00 | 6m 00s | Mondrian | Nice take on the Mondrian style. I found it a bit hard to work with, especially on the second level, trying to get that ball to land right. But, I really l liked the concept. Fun game. |
| May 1 20:55:00 | 6m 00s | TNAFT | Neat little social game. It would be interesting to see the aggregate results of how well people did on average (i.e. collect the stats as more people play the game). Good job! |
| May 2 00:33:00 | 3h 38m | Tower of Pixel | Wonderful game. Relaxing, excellent graphics, and beautiful soundtrack. I almost made it to the top. It kept me engaged for quite some time. Thanks for making this. |
| May 2 00:40:00 | 7m 00s | Lightbyrinth | I felt it had a spooky atmosphere to it. You did a wonderful job with the lighting. The red enemies surprised me! And the music worked with the atmosphere. Great job. |
| May 2 00:50:00 | 10m 00s | Chroma | Great use of simple controls. It fits the Mondrian paintings perfectly. Some of the larger puzzles were a little overwhelming, but challenging in a good way. Well done! |
| May 2 00:59:00 | 9m 00s | Radius minigolf | I have to admit I did the same as @SomeNetworkGuy and tried to hit the hole at first. I would make it a little more apparent that it's a hole. Once I figured it out, the fun began. Control system worked great. I liked the little hints, especially when you were pointing in the wrong direction. Well done! |
| May 2 01:18:00 | 19m 00s | Minimal: The Tiny Beast with the Big Hunger | The fly was kind of freaking me out; between it's size and the haunting sound it made. Nightmarish! Great job on the overall atmosphere. |
| May 2 02:25:00 | 1h 07m | The Road | Fun and enjoyable game. The humorous messages make dying a little sweeter; makes you want to keep trying. |
| May 2 12:24:00 | 9h 59m | Minimal RPG | Once I figured out what to do, it was fun. I was anxious waiting for my turn! Nice, crisp graphics. The audio was minimal, which fit the graphics well. My only suggestion would be to add some simple instructions in the beginning for the clueless like myself. Well done! |
| May 2 15:07:00 | 2h 43m | ASTEROIDS! (the side-scroller) | Holy space potatoes, that's fast! It's quick, but fun. Kudos to whoever beats it. Nice job on the graphics, humor, and sounds. |
| May 2 18:12:00 | 3h 05m | Chez Angelo | Eerie vibe, especially when the faces turn around and stare at you. Started to feel a little self-conscious with all those creepy faces staring at me! Finally found my way upstairs! Great atmosphere and fun to explore. |
| May 2 19:15:00 | 1h 03m | Stick Man Run | Fun game. I like the cute graphics, made it fun. The audio added to the humor. I found that the hedgehog was often too close to the fire though, made it impossible to jump over them at times. Great job! |
| May 2 19:35:00 | 20m 00s | PRISMA | One of the most polished and enjoyable games I've experienced yet. Great use of color, light, audio, and mystery. |
| May 2 20:03:00 | 28m 00s | Pete Hated Circles | I found this to be quite fun. I dug the never-ending transitions deeper into the painting. The mechanics worked great. The title made me laugh. At first, I missed the player boxes disappearing on the lower left when I would miss a line, so I wasn't sure why the game was over. It's hard to see them when you're playing, so you're not sure if you're in danger of losing. Otherwise, stellar effort. |
| May 2 20:12:00 | 9m 00s | F*** This Job | Well done! The animations were very well done. The character controls were responsive and intuitive. Audio was appropriate. Love the addition of the red blood against the otherwise monochrome screen. The only complaint I had was in regard to the replays, but it looks like you've already taken care of that post-comp. Great job! |
| May 3 10:37:00 | 14h 25m | Balls! | Very impressive for 72 hrs. The graphics, audio, and environment were top notch. I found it difficult to control the character, but that may be because I haven't had much practice with 3d environments like this. One of the most beautiful games I've seen yet. Outstanding. |
| May 3 10:44:00 | 7m 00s | YLBIN | I love the concept, and the levels are progressively interesting. However, I did find the controls not responsive enough and the game play too fast (or maybe I'm too slow) . Way too difficult for me. I would suggest slowing things down or perhaps making it so the player can choose a degree of difficulty before playing (to train and learn). Keep going, you've got a great idea here! Thanks for making it! |
| May 3 11:38:00 | 54m 00s | Kitten's Pixel | Wonderfully cute graphics. I love the bouncing kitten animation! There's not a lot of game play, but keep working on it. There's a very cute idea here. |
| May 3 11:50:00 | 12m 00s | Balls Balls Balls | Beautiful, slick game. The game play was easy to grasp and the levels increased in difficulty appropriately. I thought the whole package, including the music, was very well done. I particularly liked the use of gravitational pulls and how a circular wave could affect distant balls with diminishing force. Nice! |
| May 3 13:50:00 | 2h 00m | Steve Can't Zen | Fun, twisted game. I loved the way it played, but the fight sequences seemed a little long at times. Great humor. Graphics and audio matched nicely. Well done! |
| May 3 14:05:00 | 15m 00s | True treasure of Kartoffelschloss | Neat twist on the minimal theme. I love the concept and the graphics. The controls felt a little frustrating at times, but that may also be part of learning the game. Impressive that you did this without a framework. Well done! |
| May 3 20:20:00 | 6h 15m | XYZ | Beautiful, relaxing game. I found myself engaged the entire time. This was very well done for the time. I wasn't sure about the controls at first, but part of the fun and learning experience was figuring out how they worked. Nice job. |
| May 4 19:33:00 | 23h 13m | RedShot | Nice job! I particularly liked the transitions and the lighting. Controls were intuitive, but I would dampen the camera sensitivity a little. Also, when the round ended, I always lost the target board (wasn't sure what I was doing at first). It might be good to reposition the player in front of the target at the end of round, so they can see it and start again. Beautiful graphics and sound effects. Great job overall. |
| May 4 19:46:00 | 13m 00s | Formless Reliquary | This was very well done. Although it did remind me how bad my spatial memory is. I thought the colors and graphics were beautiful and the music (though repetitive) was soothing and helped the flow of the game. The only issue I saw, is that sometimes it appeared the maps were impossible (i.e. the player or target were surrounded by purple) -- or I misunderstood something. Overall, very impressive and enjoyable game. Thanks for making it. |
| May 4 19:58:00 | 12m 00s | Super 1-Bit Space Arena | Cute game. Loved the artwork and music. The sound effects were spot on. My only issue is that the monotone colors got a bit confusing after awhile. It was hard to focus on the player and the enemies at the same time. A small variation in shading might have helped. Overall, great job. Fun, enjoyable, and wonderfully retro feel to it. Nice job. |
| May 4 20:14:00 | 16m 00s | METROCRAFT | Neat idea and well executed. I was confused at first, but gave it a few tries and figured it out, which, in a way, is part of the fun. I found it hard to place all of the blocks in time on the more advanced levels, but I'm using my laptop and this game may work better with a proper mouse. Still, it's a lot of blocks to put on the board, maybe reduce the grid a little? I loved the graphics and the particle effects were beautiful when you got the puzzle right. Music was soothing. Keep going with this, I think you've got a great game going here. Thanks for making it. |
| May 4 20:38:00 | 24m 00s | Road Rage | Great idea for a game. I laughed out loud as the cars got redder. The game moves a bit slow at times and having to get the repair tool was a bit frustrating at times. Also, I didn't really notice the hud at the bottom as I was always looking at the road. Might try the hud at the top. Overall, I thought this was a clever, fun, and challenging game. Well done! |
| May 4 23:30:00 | 2h 52m | You Must Escape | Wow, this is one of the best theme oriented games I've played yet. Very well done. It's almost frightening, you feel a sense of dread when they come after you. Graphics, sounds, and game play all worked extremely well together. Bravo. |
| May 5 11:30:00 | 12h 00m | Wandering Darkness | Well done. I thought the introductory levels helped tremendously. The controls were a bit frustrating at times; I seemed to go too fast and would fall off the edge too easily. So, I had to gently tap the keyboard, which slowed the game down. Maybe dampen the acceleration when the key is released? To slow the player down a bit? The lighting and concept were great and the increased complexity was well thought out. The changing soundtracks for each level was a great addition too. Outside of the controls, I thought it was a fun, challenging, and polished game. Well done! |
| May 5 11:46:00 | 16m 00s | The Cave | Nicely done! I found myself engaged and having fun as I moved through each of the levels. The introduction of new block types and the basic game mechanics were great! I thought the soundtrack was nice. I really liked the puzzles, but I'm not sure I got the whole cave idea. |
| May 5 11:54:00 | 8m 00s | dotLife | This was a clever game. I particularly liked how the screen became more pixelated as you lost health. Visually stunning and the game play was fluid but challenging. |
| May 5 16:55:00 | 5h 01m | Terminally ill | Tricky game. Playing the multiple games was challenging on a laptop, but in a good way. Some of the graphics were hard to see (such as the red pong ball). But, overall the graphics really fit the mood and storyline. Audio played well with the game itself. This was definitely one of the more innovative games I've played. Well done. |
| May 5 17:20:00 | 25m 00s | Minianimalism! | This game is hilarious. I laughed out loud the first time I hit the up arrow. I didn't get very far (couldn't get past the 3rd level), but wonderful graphics and gaseous fume effects. Great job! |
| May 6 14:21:00 | 21h 01m | Floating Point | Very interesting game. I'm not sure I got the full gist of it though. I saw the interaction between the worlds (such as the water) and I was able to find the key. But, then the game just kind of ended. Despite my confusion, the concept was fantastic. Nice job on linking the two windows. Audio matched the dreamy atmosphere as well. |
| May 6 18:48:00 | 4h 27m | Beyond Minimalism | I had to try this game several times before I started to get it. The clues are there, but it took some time for me to get what they were pointing to. This was a strangely addicting game, I didn't want to stop until I saw those trees everyone was talking about. I'm happy to announce that I finally saw them! Nice job, but it borders on being frustrating at the same time. Graphics and sound were superb. |
| May 6 18:56:00 | 8m 00s | Dodge | Nicely done. I thought the minimal playing field was clever. You need quick reflexes for this game though. I made it to 38 after a couple of tries. The sounds are a bit harsh on the web version, but I think it's just the baseline volume. Well done! |
| May 6 19:48:00 | 52m 00s | Get The Potato | Fun, humorous game. Game play was great, especially having to discover some of the key combinations. And the audio was off the charts! I never could get past the glass box though. Well done. |
| May 6 20:02:00 | 14m 00s | U | This was very well done. Easy to grasp, but tricky to master. The maniac level had me stumped until I realized it would chase you. The soothing music juxtaposed with the saw sounds was eerily perfect for this little game. I would love to see you build this out with more levels. Great job! |
| May 6 20:13:00 | 11m 00s | 'moeba | Interesting idea. I had to play around a bit, before I understood the controls, but I think that's part of the challenge and the charm. Nice job! |
| May 7 10:57:00 | 14h 44m | Aduno | Wow, I love this. Very relaxing and enjoyable game. I almost lost time playing it! The initial walk through was useful. The graphics and audio were very appropriate for each other. This was one of the best puzzle games I've played so far. Very well done. I'm impressed! |
| May 9 16:21:00 | 53h 24m | 0 | Outstanding game. This may be my favorite so far. It fits the theme perfectly, the puzzles are hard, but doable, and the graphics and audio match up wonderfully. I actually like how hard it is at first, because part of the allure is that you have to figure out how the puzzles work before you can begin to solve them. Elegant game. Well done! |
| May 12 20:15:00 | 75h 54m | The Minimalism Quest | I loved the graphics and the overall style, but the last level seemed out of place and a bit too dark for the rest of the game. It was a fun concept though. Well done! |
