Aug 27 06:24:00 10 Seconds Before Flush Great game. It took me a few goes at first because I didn't realise touching the flowers was costing me time - that could have been a little clearer. Overall a nice fun entry :)
Aug 27 07:00:00 36m 00s Black & White & Time I must have tried 50 times or more and EVERY time the guy gets killed by that first red car - what am I missing?! I tired clicking: 'plus car' or 'car plus' or 'minus car' or 'car minus' I tried the grey car that comes from the side (as well as other random cars in the world), I tried going really fast and clicking lots of times, I tried holding the button down in case this 'charges up' the time delay, I even reloaded the game (twice) just in case there's an intermittent bug at load ... but nothing ever happened. At all. Just the same two seconds of non-game happening over and over and over :( <br/> <br/>The graphics are really great so I have scored you highly for those but taking your audio from other web sites is against the rules (even in the Jam and even if it's open source).
Aug 27 07:04:00 4m 00s GunJoust Great stuff :)
Aug 27 10:38:00 3h 34m Campfire Really nice graphics and a genuinely compelling game that made me want to keep on playing :) I hope you continue to work on this and maybe get some sound effects in there
Aug 27 13:52:00 3h 14m Back for Seconds Interesting :)
Aug 27 14:20:00 28m 00s 10-Second Switch Great job! It's impressive to get finished gameplay and sound effects and music in your first LD, so well done. I didn't realise what the button did until I finished playing the game and read the above text - so it would have been nice to see that explained in-game somewhere. Also, I would have liked better contrast between the bullets and the background colours. Overall though nice work!
Aug 27 14:32:00 12m 00s Polarity Countdown I was going round in circles for a while on that last level :) some sort of end-game would have been nice instead of simply restarting. I really like the player sprite. Nice work
Aug 27 14:35:00 3m 00s Jimmy The Knight Some indication of the player's health would have been nice because it felt a bit like I was being taken back to the menu for no reason (I assume I was being beaten by the skeletons?!) Great graphics, and overall a good effort.
Aug 27 14:45:00 10m 00s Game of Throws Awesome work for just one weekend!! I couldn't join either of the games listed when I tried to play (perhaps they didn't have their ports forwarded) so I just launched two widowed versions of the game and joined my own local server so I could check out the gameplay and review the game. Very impressed by the character model / animation and the audio too.
Aug 27 14:54:00 9m 00s Hurry UP! Nice work. I'd like to see the red dots being positioned so they're always possible to avoid. Also I think it would be nice if the 'left edge' chased you at a rate based on your time remaining. Good game, well done
Aug 27 21:43:00 6h 49m Insert Token(s) to Continue Great idea, and nice graphics too. Must admit I found it quite difficult
Aug 28 06:43:00 9h 00m Its always red This fits the theme well and is a good start - I hope you find time to add some audio and maybe something that give the player a clue about which wire to cut. Anyway, good work
Aug 28 06:52:00 9m 00s The Super Fair Trial Show Very impressive for two days work - great job. Unfortunately it crashed 5 seconds into stage two and I had to bring up task manager and end the task.
Aug 28 07:08:00 16m 00s Time To Say Goodby Great job - nice graphics and the audio makes the game feel suitable tense. However it seems impossible to win?!
Aug 28 07:38:00 30m 00s Angry Guards Good work. It was difficult to figure out what to do, but it's a nice game overall.
Aug 28 07:49:00 11m 00s DINOstruction - Evolution in a matter of seconds Good game and well executed. If you have time to work on it more it would be nice to see some audio, and a win condition perhaps
Aug 28 10:09:00 2h 20m A Maze Thing Nice game, good work. The lighting is great and the game certainly feels moody :) I found it a bit difficult - it often felt like I was getting hit without any warning, so maybe add some sound effect for when aliens are very near and/or when you're losing health? I also had some performance issues with this - quite a choppy frame-rate on both the web player and the downloaded windows version - but I've never had problems before with other Unity games. Still, great job overall - well done
Aug 29 06:56:00 20h 47m The theft of the magic potato nice job. difficult though - I guess I had to get the red dress to enrage the bull, but the farmer kept stopping me.
Aug 29 07:06:00 10m 00s Big City Goat Adventure nice game - it took a while to get going and it would have been good if something a bit better happened at the ending, but overall great job :)
Aug 29 07:20:00 14m 00s Keg Quest fun idea and well executed, good job :)
Aug 29 07:29:00 9m 00s Mission Mars Very tricky - the old school style is nice, but I would have preferred checkpoints because I didn't want to keep on re-doing my old work in order to beat the game. Overall quite enjoyable, good job
Aug 29 07:38:00 9m 00s The Hero's Journey (or get the treasure and run) Nice idea and quite challenging. I would have liked a restart button - while getting used to the controls I died a few times on lap one and although the game appears to restart all the obstacles were already active from the previous go.
Aug 29 07:41:00 3m 00s MegaPunch One of the best games I've played yet - great job!
Aug 30 08:41:00 25h 00m Clocked In Very nice game, I like the very clean, tight aesthetic. A good challenge too :)
Aug 30 08:51:00 10m 00s INSTIGATION very enjoyable! and you really nailed the retro feel. good work :)
Aug 30 09:01:00 10m 00s The Duellists I really like the look and feel of this game - great work! It's frustrating to lose when I had the cross-hairs spot on target but my bullet randomly goes wide then the AI takes their sweet time and scores a perfect head-shot (when I lose a game I like to know that it's my fault and not the game engine). But overall a really good game.
Aug 30 09:24:00 23m 00s Flippin' Matrix Great music, plus I like the reality-swapping idea. I had no idea what I was supposed to be doing, I wandered around for a while, found server rooms and died falling from roof-tops and eventually got in a lift but none of it seemed to be taking me closer to any objective - so I guess a bit more narrative would have been nice. Overall though, really great work
Aug 30 17:39:00 8h 15m Duke Dashington One of the best games I've played yet from this LD! Also I didn't even find it on this site, I started playing it from the 'Staff Picks' section on stencyl.com and only after the game started did I realise that it was made for the compo! ;)
Aug 31 07:05:00 13h 26m 10 sec. Fast Beef Nice graphics, good audio and a well executed gameplay idea. Overall a really great game!
Aug 31 07:23:00 18m 00s Cowdown One of the best looking games so far. Clever use of the theme too and well executed.
Aug 31 07:36:00 13m 00s Gone in 10 Seconds Excellent writing, funniest game I've played yet. Also the difficulty ramps very nicely with each level providing just the right amount of challenge. Great job!
Aug 31 07:54:00 18m 00s Lucid Journey nice graphics and music but I couldn't make sense of the controls - for example on the eclipse level I just wanted to move the moon towards the sun - but sometimes it went straight up off the top of the screen, sometimes it went to the middle and stopped for no reason, sometimes it went straight down... and I felt like I wasn't choosing any of those actions
Aug 31 08:09:00 15m 00s The 10 (other) Seconds Journey Well written, could have used some sound or music. Each level felt unrelated and the choices felt random - instead I would have liked your story to create a world and for my choices to relate to what I'm learning about your world as I play.
Aug 31 21:56:00 13h 47m Snap Encounters Nice graphics and the text was quite clever in places, however I'd like a bit more skill-based gameplay rather than the blind-luck which it feels like I used to get through this. Overall though nice work :)
Aug 31 22:02:00 6m 00s Regular Dungeon good job, nice work :)
Aug 31 22:22:00 20m 00s Little Peeps I really enjoyed this game, it took me a while to get the idea - I didn't realise how important shift-clicking was early enough - but once I did I was very impressed with the gameplay in this. a little audio would have rounded it off perfectly but it's still a great entry overall
Aug 31 22:36:00 14m 00s Bragmor the Barbarian One of the best games I've played yet! Amazing work especially when adhering to compo rules (well, almost adhering ;) ) I particularly enjoyed when I found the treasure room on my 3rd or 4th play through and I started kicking ass. If I had to be critical of something I'd pick hit detection as it seems Bragmor has to approach the enemies straight on and not just hit them from the side in passing. Overall though a really great game. Good job.
Aug 31 22:51:00 15m 00s Lost in the Darkness At first I thought I just had to collect the fairies, but once I got the hang of it this was really enjoyable - great game :)
Sep 8 10:39:00 179h 48m Streaker 2013 Short and sweet though a couple of plays is never enough - this had me hooked :) <br/>Good humour and great use of the theme!
Sep 12 06:38:00 91h 59m Con 10 Sedi Interesting take on the theme and great retro styling. Tricky though - I had to tone it down to 'childish' to beat it. :)
Sep 12 07:03:00 25m 00s The Aliens Came (10 seconds to choose) Excellent use of colour, and captured the mood just right.
Sep 12 07:09:00 6m 00s #ERR@ 10 Second Glitch# nice work. simple but fun
Sep 12 13:33:00 6h 24m Lil' Kingdom Strives To Survive really great game - could perhaps do with more of a beginning and an end to flesh it out a bit, but a lot of fun nonetheless :)
