| Apr 29 16:36:00 | Beyond Minimalism | Interesting... unlike theomnis, I did find the trees, though not as I expected. The first time, I went through a couple of rooms until I reached a red cube of death, which (presumably) killed me and sent me back to the start. I then repeated the route, fell off of the edge (possibly a bug?) and reached the trees. Actually, it was a shame I couldn't explore more of the trees, I quite liked that area. <br/> <br/>On to the game, it was quite innovative and fun, and I felt it approached the theme pretty well. The only issue I had with it was that it seemed a bit lacking in what I could do - I would have liked more than going down a path and coming back. | |
| Apr 29 16:51:00 | 15m 00s | X0RQUE | Enjoyed the game, but I didn't quite get how cargo corresponded to station - it doesn't look to be 1:1, although I may be wrong. It would have been nice to see the station grow/shrink or something as an indicator - I definitely agree with the infinity aspect though. |
| Apr 29 16:55:00 | 4m 00s | Zrist | There's only one issue with this game - on the Unity web player, it doesn't show anything other than the start screen, or the retry screen when I inevitably die. This may just be with my computer, but the other Unity web entries that I've used have run fine, so it's more likely an issue with this. |
| Apr 29 17:01:00 | 6m 00s | Protect! | Well, it worked for me (and on a Mac) - you should really update this so that there's links to the same file for Mac OS X and Linux, as HTML *is* cross-platform. If anything, I actually found the game too slow, and I would have preferred it to have started faster. |
| Apr 29 17:18:00 | 17m 00s | The Minimalizer | Quite good, although I was quite upset when I got to the '4, 8, You Win' bit as a couldn't max out all of the weapons 10 points - it was a *bit* short. |
| Apr 29 18:36:00 | 1h 18m | Budget Squad | Really liked it, but thanks to the 'you only have one searchlight' I keep on dying around 6500 points :P |
| Apr 29 18:47:00 | 11m 00s | Antarctic Skirmish | Great game :) Is there any reason that my penguins didn't seem to be attacking very fast (compared to the enemy) or is that just me being bad at the game? |
| Apr 29 18:52:00 | 5m 00s | 28 Pixels | Really nice game, loved your take on Minimalism :) My only issue was it took me a few goes to work out what to do, but after that it was a great game :) |
| Apr 29 20:20:00 | 1h 28m | RPG | Absolutely loved this game - I literally just played it for the last couple of hours :) The only bug I found was that against a couple of much stronger enemies (relative to me), I managed to heal them with magic - my damage was negative :P Still, that's probably the result of using harmful magic on the undead. |
| Apr 30 16:43:00 | 20h 23m | Steam-Cube | Quite good, but there were issues with spikes and hitboxes - I could die just trying to get to the end of a platform. Also, the text from one level temporarily popped up on the level before (a sort of flash, if you will). |
| Apr 30 19:53:00 | 3h 10m | Minimalism Textual Adventure | Quite interesting, and I liked the story, but I didn't really see many options - as far as I could see, most of the time there was only 1 option, although this could have been me not scrolling down enough. |
| May 1 16:16:00 | 20h 23m | Tinge | Really liked it, although after a while (15 mins, maybe?) I started to get a bit bored of collecting red dots :) |
| May 1 16:20:00 | 4m 00s | M as in Miner | Interesting, although the entire interface, etc. was very confusing and it took me 5 mins to work it out :) Other than that, not that bad a game. |
| May 1 16:47:00 | 27m 00s | Trapped in Minimalism | Absolutely loved it, and the plot twist (which, for the sake of spoilers, I won't name) was really good. Actually reminded me a bit of FTL, and one of the best games I've seen so far :) |
| May 1 17:04:00 | 17m 00s | Mystic Door - by The Mystic Souslik Team | Quite a nice game, although I would have liked something to tell me the objective (other than open the door - was there something you had to get, for example). Also, the jumping was a bit jerky - I would have preferred smooth jumping (by using acceleration, presumably). |
| May 1 17:17:00 | 13m 00s | Speed Square! | Same as what cinnamonmelonpig said: I could open it, but beyond that, I couldn't control anything. If it helps, I tried both the Java 6 & 7 ones, with a Mac, Firefox and Java 7.something. |
| May 1 17:23:00 | 6m 00s | Battle Box | Quite interesting, and there were interesting rules, but I found the actual gameplay a bit tedious - I guess it's part of the needing two players thing. Also, it might be more interesting if you can't see the other player's hand. |
| May 1 19:21:00 | 1h 58m | MATAR! | Really amusing, wish there was more :) |
| May 1 19:25:00 | 4m 00s | Hiddensquares | Quite good, although I was *really* confused by the puzzle... |
| May 1 19:52:00 | 27m 00s | Persist | An amazing game, and an interesting spin on Minimalism :) My only issue was with how hard the final level was, although I managed to complete it in the end... after a few hours :P |
| May 1 20:29:00 | 37m 00s | Complexity | Really nice game, make more :) |
| May 2 16:12:00 | 19h 43m | Bladeless | Quite a nice little game, although sometimes my character didn't attack after a successful block - I'll presume I missed something in the instructions :) I also agree with a gentler difficulty curve - the game is *unbelievably* hard at first :P |
| May 2 16:20:00 | 8m 00s | Velocibox | Really nice game, but really hard as well :) Well done, definitely one of the best games I've played so far. |
| May 2 18:10:00 | 1h 50m | Lack of Civilization | Quite good, although I couldn't find anything after I got the plant - was that it? |
| May 2 18:28:00 | 18m 00s | Bipolar | I liked this a lot, although I did have a bit of an issue with lag. It wasn't my computer (AFAIK), unless there's an issue with Unity Web Player and Macs... any idea why this may not be working? |
| May 2 18:32:00 | 4m 00s | MiniClone | Quite nice and simple (unlike some other games here) but it was a bit short - it would have been nice if there was some simple level system (maybe extra ships/quicker ships?) |
| May 2 18:42:00 | 10m 00s | The Quest for Minimalism | A great idea, and a great take on Minimalism. My only issue was that it was quite easy, but that's not that much of an issue. |
| May 2 18:50:00 | 8m 00s | OktumBoktum - A minimal adventure of a boy and his crazy pet | Really nice game, although I feel it would be easier on Android - this game feels like it's lending itself towards a two-finger playstyle. |
| May 3 16:37:00 | 21h 47m | MagnoMonster | Quite a nice game, and I really liked the low poly-count hearts - for whatever reason, it reminded me of Ocarina of Time from the Legend of Zelda series :) My only issue was the animations when you got a heart or died, they seemed a bit out of place. |
| May 4 10:58:00 | 18h 21m | Potato Dungeon | Literally the best game I've ever played in a Ludum Dare :) Seriously, it's got an unbelievable amount of polish, a bit of a storyline, and a really interesting game mechanic. My only issue was, if anything, that it was too short - please, please make a Post-Compo version with loads more (and saving) - I'd quite happily pay for it if it was on Steam (or equivalent)! |
| May 4 11:12:00 | 14m 00s | Balls Balls Balls | Pretty good, although those white balls will be the end of me :) |
| May 4 11:49:00 | 37m 00s | CHAMELEON RUN | Really nice, but at high speeds it got a bit jerky :) Oh, highscore: 690 |
| May 4 12:11:00 | 22m 00s | Tulip | Really nice game, and it definitely gets hard as you go on! 39.56s |
| May 4 12:30:00 | 19m 00s | Minimalism Tower Defence | Nice take on tower defense :) The only issue was working out what tower did what, but after that it was great :) |
