Aug 26 20:26:00 Space Demolition by Suese A pretty nifty 2D shooter. Took me a few minutes to figure out what I was supposed to do, but once I did I found this game quite fun. I like that you can reverse while shooting, and shooting the terrain for resources is cool too. The resource management and inventory swapping was an interesting mechanic which made it more than just the shooting. <br/> <br/>There was a minor bug in that the lives wasn't being reset when I played the second time, so I got negative lives. Not a big deal though. The pixel art is great and the sound is satisfying. Music was good but got repetitive after a while. Overall a most impressive job for 48 hours.
Aug 26 20:54:00 28m 00s GitGirl - Conflict Resolver A quite challenging platform game. Controls are tight and the jumping is tricky but manageable. The gravity changing is a nice mechanic. <br/> <br/>I like the character. Anyone who carries a bomb on her head is badass. Graphics are wonderful and the music is most pleasing. It was a bit short with two levels and it would be great to see it expanded on.
Aug 26 21:02:00 8m 00s Short Nightmares I couldn't figure out what to do on the fourth night, but certainly a very creepy and unusual approach to this theme. I liked it. The flat textures were a bit weird, but that kind of fits the surreal dreamlike atmosphere. Would be nice to see this idea expanded on.
Aug 26 21:32:00 30m 00s The First Odyssey I liked the art and environments, although the size of the character compared to the game window size makes it hard to get a sense of where you are. I got lost in the castle of countless platforms. I like the ability to shoot in multiple directions, and the triple shot is cool, but the arrows move rather slowly, especially considering that the character can move faster than them. But I can certainly see a lot of work went into this. A good foundation if you plan to build on it. Good use of the theme too.
Aug 27 12:12:00 14h 40m 10 sec. Fast Beef So very disturbing, but a well made game. Graphics are sharp and the atmosphere is effective.
Aug 27 12:22:00 10m 00s Slime Quest Cool concept and lovely graphics. Too hard for me but I'm not the best at puzzle platform type games.
Aug 27 12:25:00 3m 00s You had one job A most amusing idea for a game. It seemed like the timing were a bit off. I'm sure I got some of them right that were caught as fails, but I didn't mind much because it was funnier to give the poor guy electric shocks XD Very nice cartoony graphics too.
Aug 27 12:39:00 14m 00s Self Destruct That was really cool. An effective puzzle platformer. Reminds me a bit of The Lost Vikings, with the characters each having their own unique ability. Graphics are minimalist but they work and the music is catchy.
Aug 27 12:44:00 5m 00s Time Ball! There's a great sense of speed here, although I sadly lack the skill to react quickly enough to avoid falling into the stuff before I can reverse time. A cool concept and the random level generation is a good thing, so you can't beat it by memorising. <br/> <br/>And of course, thanks for watching the stream. I'm surprised you found the time to make an entry and watch mine being made.
Aug 27 17:22:00 4h 38m Adventures of Schrodinger's cat This is wonderful. I love the biro aesthetic and it's a great idea for a platformer. Very tricky though. I couldn't get past stage 11. Nicely done.
Aug 27 17:33:00 11m 00s Anti-Grav Drive Holy cow that is addictive. The aesthetic is great too. Really clever idea. Wish I'd thought of it. Make this into a mobile game and sell it!
Aug 27 20:34:00 3h 01m Blind Feed Good use of the theme and a fairly challenging game. I found a good strategy is to click frequently for short periods, almost flickering.
Aug 27 20:41:00 7m 00s Inversion Really cool concept. A very challenging puzzle game that requires some lateral thinking. Or should I say longitudinal thinking?
Aug 27 21:22:00 41m 00s Missile Mayhem Very cool. Snazzy graphics and a wicked soundtrack. Riding a missile is always awesome.
Aug 27 21:36:00 14m 00s Deka Sektor Very cool. I love the pseudo-twin stick control method and it controls very well. The concept of using the time as your health and having it replenished by killing enemies and decreased by being hit is brilliant. The aesthetic is very nice too. Crisp and colourful and the sound is great too.
Aug 27 21:57:00 21m 00s Firefly This is actually very sweet. The innocence and simple goodness of the character is appealing. Nice pixel art too and a very nice mood.
Aug 28 10:40:00 12h 43m Origami Wings That was absolutely beautiful, and addictive! I loved exploring that world. The reward of getting through each ring is getting to see more of it. So good. Love it.
Aug 28 10:48:00 8m 00s Black Hole Runner Cool concept but I find it hard to avoid the asteroids at that speed. Some tweaking of the movement would be good.
Aug 28 11:01:00 13m 00s SpaceSwitch Really cool concept and a very tricky platformer. Too hard for me though :)
Aug 28 11:04:00 3m 00s Blinking Cool concept but I lack the platforming reflexes to get very far.
Aug 28 15:06:00 4h 02m Solitude Absolutely wonderful. The atmosphere is so powerful and I wanted to keep going until I found all the notes. Never expected a LD game to affect me emotionally, but it did. Very well done.
