| Aug 27 04:45:00 | It lasts longer when you're a genius | So maybe I'm a little biased, but given that I know how much time you actually had to spend on this I think you did an awesome job. Hilarious as always! | |
| Aug 27 08:03:00 | 3h 18m | Keg Quest | This is a neat idea and the puzzles were well done. I only played a few levels, though, because I personally find WASD movement very awkward. In something like this I want to keep one hand on my movement keys and one on my dwarf selection keys, and that's hard to do when they're all crunched together. Overall, though, a fun game! |
| Aug 27 08:19:00 | 16m 00s | Speed Dating | Heh, cute. It may be because I'm dumb, but sometimes I had trouble getting the game to start again after I lost. Not sure if the space bar is supposed to trigger that but the timing seemed inconsistent. Nice job with the music and the roses! |
| Aug 27 08:30:00 | 11m 00s | 10 sec. Fast Beef | Not the sort of thing I'd usually spend a lot of time on, but I think you did a good job. I especially like the art style on the animals, all shadowy with big eyes. |
| Aug 27 08:54:00 | 24m 00s | Bragmor the Barbarian | A decent bash-some-monsters game. I was amused by the jump animation for some reason. The voice effects, too. Seems the hit detection on monsters could use a little refining- a few times I was swinging straight at a creature and couldn't hit it. Nice job overall! |
| Aug 27 08:59:00 | 5m 00s | Pizzapocalypse 20XX | Loved the look and the sound, wouldn't have minded a bit more gameplay. :-) |
| Aug 28 01:35:00 | 16h 36m | Darn Clock | This was a lot of fun! I like the graphic style and the bright colors. |
| Aug 28 02:08:00 | 33m 00s | BLAM BLAM PLANET | Lots of fun! Love the sound effects and the weirdness of hitting myself with the black holer. |
| Aug 29 06:28:00 | 28h 20m | Fireman Ten | This sounds like fun and I'd like to play it, but when I run your executable I get an error message saying "FiremanTen.exe is not a valid Win32 application." |
| Aug 29 06:57:00 | 29m 00s | The theft of the magic potato | The robots are adorable! It's a fun idea, but sometimes the robots don't seem to do what I expect- for example, I kept trying to give the hammer robot an order to smash the shed, but he just ran all the way to the fence at the right and stood there instead. I also occasionally had some issues with the action queue not clearing properly. I could definitely see this being polished into a fun little game though! |
| Aug 29 07:09:00 | 12m 00s | Save Them | Congratulations on your first jam! This was my first foray into game design too. <br/> <br/>I definitely like your idea. I would have benefited from a sound effect when the doors changed state, as I tended to get focused on one side of the screen and completely miss the fact that the escape pod room had closed itself off. Do the movement tiles have a set spot in each room? I didn't seem to be able to place them where I wanted them. Eventually I stopped bothering and just had fun watching the astronauts wander around stupidly. :-) |
| Aug 29 09:04:00 | 1h 55m | Silver | I'm happy to find another game in which "10 seconds" was used as something other than time. I like the concept, but like many other commenters I find the controls to be kind of annoying. I probably would have played more except I think the husband was getting annoyed with the constant key-bashing. :-) |
| Aug 29 09:14:00 | 10m 00s | Divide and bounce | I love the googly eyes on the blobs! Had a lot of fun with this once I got the hang of it, and though it is very difficult to keep too many of the blobs alive at once it's really fun to listen to them all bounce while you can. There's definitely some potential for a pretty cool game here. |
| Aug 29 09:23:00 | 9m 00s | Heaven's Intern | Very nice looks, would definitely benefit from some angelic choirs in the background. I think unity does not realize some of us are still stuck in the stone ages without a widescreen monitor, though; I was not able to read all the tidbits about the souls because the game got cropped to fit my screen. |
| Aug 29 09:42:00 | 19m 00s | EscapeRush! | I wouldn't say I ragequit, but I did give up after trying the second level ten times or so. The controls seem like they could use a little finesse- seems like you have to hit the jump button considerably before the edge of the platform, and sometimes on the transition to the second level I'd keep moving to the left even though I wasn't holding down the key. Could be that I'm just making excuses for being crap, though. <br/> <br/>I'd probably play this a whole lot if dying restarted you on the current level instead of back at the beginning. |
| Aug 29 09:55:00 | 13m 00s | DynamiTEN | This could get very addictive! The theme connection seems a bit forced, since the time limit (at least for me)mattered much less than keeping from getting scrolled off the top of the screen. Still, graphics and audio were great and the game was lots of fun! |
| Aug 29 10:05:00 | 10m 00s | Ten Second Germification | I don't understand how it works or what my choices do, but it's fun to watch! |
| Aug 29 10:20:00 | 15m 00s | Sparkling | I really enjoyed the effect of the minimal graphics and light. Sometimes it's frustrating that no light shows up in the accessible areas, especially since it doesn't seem that you can speed up the fairy to get to light before it goes out. A neat concept with a lot of potential! |
| Aug 29 21:25:00 | 11h 05m | Taen Saeck | I spent upwards of two hours on this last night, and I think I'll go back and play some more! I like the graphic style a lot, especially the backdrop. The music does get repetitive but I guess that's a hazard when you make a game people want to play for hours! <br/> <br/>I did not mind the progression rate, but I'm a total sucker for these sorts of games. I did have an interface issue with the upgrade screen, which I suspect was because I don't have a widescreen monitor, but the graphics and tooltips did not line up. The only things I could not buy were in the column farthest to the right, so it was still playable, but very confusing at first. I will be happy to elaborate if that's helpful. <br/> <br/>Overall a great game, one I'd be willing to pay for with a little refinement (and a save function!) |
| Aug 30 09:14:00 | 11h 49m | Hedgehog Wars | Hedgehogs are adorable! Keep working on this, I think it's a great start. |
| Aug 30 09:18:00 | 4m 00s | Origami Wings | Love the look and sound. I found the controls not as responsive as I would have liked, though, and of course it was little weird that I could fly right through the ground. Beautiful environment, though! |
| Aug 30 09:28:00 | 10m 00s | Life'Short | I was also really amused by the knight's jump animation. A neat idea, and I personally like seeing the different directions people can go with the "10 seconds" theme. |
| Aug 30 09:41:00 | 13m 00s | Super Mega Penguin X | I realize I'm living in the stone age here, but the interface elements don't line up correctly on my (non-widescreen) monitor. The part of the screen I have to click on to start the game from the title screen, for example, is well to the right of the "Play Game" graphic. Also, I don't know if it's related or I just didn't figure it out, but is the flashlight supposed to stay pointed straight up toward the ceiling? It wiggled a little when I moved, but I couldn't aim it at where I was trying to go. <br/> <br/>That said, I love your title screen graphic and the music does a very good job of conveying "penguin in an ice cave." I'd play more if it displayed correctly on my monitor! |
| Aug 30 09:51:00 | 10m 00s | Hot Potato | The music is great! I think it's a little buggy in Chrome; one time it froze up on me when I lost, the next time I got a game over and replay button but nothing happened when I pressed it. <br/> <br/>Some kind of visible timer and an algorithm that keeps you from getting the same minigame multiple times in a row would help, but overall it's fun, and the music does a great job of giving you that frantic feeling. |
| Aug 30 09:57:00 | 6m 00s | Hungry Dragon | I like this a lot! It's a neat idea, and I was very amused by watching the dragon get all tangled up in himself and also riding his head up to the top of the screen. My only complaints are that the jump noise is a bit annoying and it'd be nice to have a restart option after you lose, but other than that, great job! |
| Aug 30 10:23:00 | 26m 00s | Save | Interesting. Nice graphics and a good use of sound effects, but this seemed more like a message than a game. I'm not opposed to the idea of a non-game game, but they always leave me feeling rather unsatisfied. |
| Aug 31 09:49:00 | 23h 26m | The Wrong Door | I was laughing loud enough that my husband told me to stop shrieking. I love the art style and the sound effects, and the music fits perfectly. The fact that the beating went on for so long was hilarious the first few times, but then it got a little tedious. Overall, great job! |
| Aug 31 11:06:00 | 1h 17m | Bear Pong | Okay, so disclaimer, I've had kind of a lot of wine right now, but this is the best thing ever. Is that Wagner? Obviously needs some polish but I am laughing like crazy right now. |
