| Apr 29 09:38:00 | Minimal Force | It's not bad. The graphics are servicable (certainly minimal) but convey the setting, the phsyics is so-so (consider using real inertia rather than simple side-to-side motion for player controls), but at least the avatar doesn't go flying off if he hits the corner of a block. This isn't the first time I've seen this concept (look up Tower of Heaven) but it fits the theme and works well with the adventure setting. The music was good, but that probably speaks to the quality of Abundant Music. Sound effects were less impressive, sfxr is good, but I ran into a problem that sounds like what is happening here: the silence at the end of the clip meant that the sound wasn't replaying every time. Thankfully that's an easy fix in audacity. Level design was lacking at times; some levels were plain frustrating (looking at you "can't go left") while others were comparatively easy (boss battle). Also I didn't see anywhere in game telling me that pressing "r" restarts the level. I found that out by pressing every button on my keyboard. :( | |
| Apr 29 09:39:00 | 1m 00s | The Unseen | Could you possibly cross compile to linux? I can't run unity otherwise. |
| Apr 29 10:00:00 | 21m 00s | Rebellion: Resistance of Complacency | Maybe I'm masochistic, but Tohou's confused gardener knows what's up. Bullet hell at its least refined? And therefore its silliest? Also, good job with the music: it sounds like every radien track ever which really reinforces the whole bullet hell thing. <br/> <br/>One more thing, is the background supposed to be leaves? |
| Apr 29 17:35:00 | 7h 35m | Tactical Spreadsheet | It's very hard to figure out exactly what's going on, which is impressive when there's so little to do. On the other hand, it's an excellent representation of the theme: a role playing game at just its numbers. Unfortunately, the spacial side of CRPGs really helps to convey the current state of the game world. Also, the excel spreadsheet theme would be vastly improved if you used the Windows UI font (Segoe UI, or even Tahoma). |
| Apr 29 17:49:00 | 14m 00s | Dream Fishing | As nice as the landscape is, I didn't really engage with anything in the game. The fish didn't have anything particularly original say, (but who could expect them to--they're fish) and I stopped finding the nonsensical lines funny before I finished the first one. However, the game feels like a dream, and fits the theme perfectly. The best part of the game, though, was using the fishing rod. |
| Apr 30 04:17:00 | 10h 28m | unessential | The music and visuals really contribute to the theme of the game, and also fit in very well with the "minimalist" theme too. The RPS mechanic too, makes a lot of sense from the minimalist standpoint. |
| Apr 30 04:46:00 | 29m 00s | John and the Stairway to Zion | The creepy music and lighting enhance the mood of this game, but the context set up by the dialogue snippets really define it. |
| Apr 30 04:47:00 | 1m 00s | Hat Guy | Is it possible for you to distribute a linux binary? |
| Apr 30 04:56:00 | 9m 00s | Crated | I'm impressed with the platforming physics. The jump-run height trade off would actually make for a deep game, if finished. Is this an issue on my end, but it's playing really slow for me: ubuntu 12.04-3.60ghz? Am I missing a library? |
| Apr 30 05:15:00 | 19m 00s | SDFJKL | All in all, this is possibly my favourite game of the jam so far. The gameplay and graphics are simple, but it's really fun and challenging to play through the level. I can't remember a game like this, especially with the silly backstory playing out behind the game. |
| Apr 30 05:22:00 | 7m 00s | Minty Relaxation | A fun and exciting take on the runner genre. After a while though, the box starts flying offscreen; is that intended? |
| Apr 30 05:29:00 | 7m 00s | Circular Symphony | An interesting interpretation of the theme. |
| Apr 30 05:43:00 | 14m 00s | JOHN | I didn't notice that it was a dream before I played the game. The mood and atmosphere is all there, but to make it simply a nightmare, and not someone's life detracts from the experience. |
| Apr 30 07:56:00 | 2h 13m | The One Road | I had a lot of fun with it. The graphics were really good, and it had a wonderful feel of Chrono Trigger to it. Unfortunately, it seems like some things don't run properly in firefox, my browser of choice for linux, but that's not a big issue as I have chromium installed too. |
