Aug 26 02:15:00 Hail Of Bombs Pretty cool for such a short amount of time. The concept is about as simple as it could get, but the bouncing and the music made it pleasing to play. Good work!
Aug 26 02:18:00 3m 00s Every Ten Seconds A Kitten Drowns The cat names were a nice touch, haha. I caught myself saying "NOOO HANK!" out loud to myself. Anyway, this was a lot of fun! <br/> <br/>Side note: I'm guessing you're aware of it, but I did get my boat stuck on the center thing at one point and had to exit out.
Aug 26 02:25:00 7m 00s SAVE THE WORLD! Pretty funny game. I really liked the look of the main character, too. The only time I got a little frustrated was during the part where you fall out the window. Maybe I missed something, but it seemed like random chance?
Aug 26 02:29:00 4m 00s Last words It crashed on me the first time through (web version), but I refreshed and it worked, just thought I'd let you know. Anyway, I really liked this entry. The aesthetics were awesome.
Aug 26 02:43:00 14m 00s Penguin Racer Go Go Really cool game. I really like the sounds, I think they kept me from getting frustrated when I screwed up ;)
Aug 26 02:51:00 8m 00s T-Minus I like the art, and I actually think the music isn't bad as well (it does seem really quiet though). The parallax scrolling was a really neat effect, too. <br/>I made it to a point where there was just an empty box level, and a countdown. Is that the end or a bug?
Aug 26 02:55:00 4m 00s Sixth of a Minute The gameplay is simple, fun, and easy to understand. I really like the color scheme and the way the number fits into the level. Also, the music is really amazing for a weekend game jam! I only wish the plunking didn't cover it up quite so much. Maybe it could come in at 3 or something?
Aug 26 02:56:00 1m 00s Streaker 2013 That was really awesome. The sound effect when you press the dance button made me crack up out loud.
Aug 26 03:00:00 4m 00s Dwarf Wars I might be doing something wrong, but I get an error message when I try to open the game: "...Dwarf Wars.exe is not a valid Win32 Application."
Aug 26 03:14:00 14m 00s removed Love the EDIT at the top, haha. As far as the game goes, I really enjoyed the music and color commentary from the assistant. <br/> <br/>It took me a minute to figure out what to do, but I got it. I see that the instructions were in the description, but you might consider putting them in game, since most people are like me and skip over the details :)
Aug 26 03:26:00 12m 00s ROBOT PLANET Really love how the design forces you to make snap decisions when the level loads. Since it's pseudo turn-based, I had to fight my instinct to stare at the level when it loaded. Also, the sound effects were great, I think the breathing really made it really immersive.
Aug 26 03:47:00 21m 00s Just Desserts Really fun light-hearted theming. Like I mentioned to you, I have a weird infatuation for how smooth the cones look when they turn. Also, really applaud the inclusion of a tutorial. I probably could have figured out the mechanics, but that definitely makes getting into it easier. Good work!
Aug 26 19:55:00 16h 08m Cedarville Interesting Game. I really liked how everything started to ocnnect towards the end.
Aug 26 23:14:00 3h 19m Boxen! Really fun little game, even if you don't consider the more stringent time constraints. I got to a point where there were no more squares to click, which was an awkward 3-4 seconds, but that's probably my only real (and minor) complaint.
Aug 27 19:23:00 20h 09m Duke Dashington One of the best I've played so far. Actually a lot of levels considering the quality of the art and sound made by one person. Actually thought it had to be a jam game at first.
Aug 27 22:00:00 2h 37m Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to his Death This is so amazing! I love the aesthetics, the theme, the design, and just the general feel of everything. Great job guys!
Aug 27 22:04:00 4m 00s Bob Won't Be Late I think this was really great, but the controls make it kind of difficult to get into. I will say I laughed out loud the first time I lost, which is always a good sign.
Aug 27 22:13:00 9m 00s A Day In A Life I really wish I could replay a level without playing through everything again, but that's probably my only complaint. Laughed out loud a couple of times. Good work!
Aug 27 22:27:00 14m 00s Get the seconds! Took me a minute to get the "10 2nds" theme, haha.
Aug 27 22:29:00 2m 00s 10 Second Tactics The controls were a little tough to get used to, but I'm glad to see someone ran with idea. I almost did it, but was a little intimidated by having to make AI. Anyway, I really like the gameplay and idea, good work!
Aug 27 22:31:00 2m 00s 10 Seconds to Save the World The music really adds to the sense of urgency. It probably also says something positive about your work that it's also still readable and playable at such a lot resolution. Good work!
Aug 28 04:40:00 6h 09m Deadly Sunrise Great work. The aesthetics and incorporation of the theme were great. I didn't think it was too difficult, like some others have mentioned, but I did have problems a few times with the character jumping when I didn't want him to. Maybe something with detected key down where a key press would have been better? Not sure how what your tools look like, so that could possibly have been out of your control to a degree. <br/> <br/>Anyway, I really liked the game. This was a really cool interpretation of the theme I wanted to do early on, but didn't, so I'm glad someone did!
Aug 29 02:56:00 22h 16m Yea This was amazing. (Possible Spoiler) I had to change my pants the first time I ran into one of those spider things. (End spoiler). I really love the weird moody vibe in this one. Really beautiful work!
Sep 1 20:36:00 89h 40m Hold My Beer! You apologized for the audio in your description, but I actually really enjoyed them! Really like the concept, and the graphics are really great, too!
Sep 12 04:29:00 247h 53m Narcoleptic Chicken Kid Wow, this is absolutely gorgeous. Probably my favorite looking game so far. I thought the game was too easy at first, but it picks up a bit as you go along. It's really sad/funny when you're in the shadow a turn early. Nothing you can do but press the button and watch the inevitable blood bath. <br/> <br/>I like the music, too, but I can't decide if it fits or not. Not really a complaint, just an observation, I guess. <br/> <br/>Great job!
