| Aug 26 23:25:00 | TimeOut | It was really hard to control the player, reset the cam, and fight at the same time. Also, even if I can kill the monsters, it is almost impossible to collect the clocks properly... The idea was nice, but I had a hard time with this game. The music is nice :) | |
| Aug 26 23:25:00 | 0s | Et je vous laisse | Nice Mood and music, but the gameplay is not understandable. :/ |
| Aug 26 23:49:00 | 24m 00s | A_VOID | Nice graphic ideas, but i don't see the "10 seconds" theme in the gameplay. |
| Aug 27 00:14:00 | 25m 00s | Wave every 10 seconds | ???? |
| Aug 27 00:20:00 | 6m 00s | Traffic Manager | Great idea! As someone said before, maybe the cars could have move a little faster... |
| Aug 27 00:27:00 | 7m 00s | Timespunkers | Really nice job. You did a great job with the graphics, and the game is addictive (letting the player change the room at the cost of some life was a nice idea). I never survived to the giant worm, but anyway, I had fun. |
| Aug 27 00:33:00 | 6m 00s | Time Warp | I never really liked this kind of controls, and also the fact that gold coins and anticoins overlapped really often as soon as you get at least two victories made it a bit difficult to master. The voice we hear after we've taken a wormhole is quite funny...I believe that was yours? Anyway, nice idea, and the shop adds to the overall experience. |
| Aug 27 00:41:00 | 8m 00s | SquareKade | Doesn't work when I unzip it then try to launch it... |
| Aug 27 00:53:00 | 12m 00s | Please Hold | Really nice idea. I was a bit confused with the gameplay, and maybe the tutorial could be a little more user friendly? Some pictures maybe? In any case, that was refreshing. |
| Aug 27 01:02:00 | 9m 00s | Life is too short | Cute game, you should definitely add some animations, it would absolutely change the feeling of the game. A few bugs when I died, the text is glitching. Telling a story was a nice idea. |
| Aug 27 01:17:00 | 15m 00s | Solarions | Nice idea, and the game can be handled softly. It was really easy, I won several times, without taking any risks. |
| Aug 27 01:24:00 | 7m 00s | Darn Clock | I really enjoyed this game! It's very intuitive to understand how to play it. The small character moves also nicely. |
| Aug 27 07:24:00 | 6h 00m | Super Mega Penguin X | The game crashes when trying to launch first level. (Win7 64bits) |
| Aug 27 07:45:00 | 21m 00s | Decay | Great presentation and great concept! However, I was a bit disappointed when I understood that it was not necessary to grab the particles with the matching thingy spinnin' around your atom. When I understood that, the gameplay lost quite a bit of appeal because you can basically chain-click the particles without taking your rotation or collisions into account, which requires a lot of accuracy and timing from the player. <br/> <br/>I think the game would be much better if you couldn't grab, say, a red particle with your blue slot (or the orange body of the atom for that matter). Try to play it this way, you'll see: it's even more fun :D <br/> <br/>Anyways, the look and feel and gameplay are amazing so... high rating! <3 |
| Aug 27 07:53:00 | 8m 00s | 10 Seconds Match | The "10 seconds" theme is not very sensible enough...There's a lack of feedback about traps, and the overall rythm is quite slow. <br/>Presentation is good with menus, tutorial and sounds! |
| Aug 27 07:59:00 | 6m 00s | Summer Death Olympics | A decent game! :D |
| Aug 27 08:20:00 | 21m 00s | xhon | Whoooaaa really great game, the level design is simply amazing! <br/>Good implementation of the theme too! I think you should try to expand it and refine the handling after the jam and go for a Greenlight entry! Definitely worth a handful of bucks :D <br/> <br/>Thanks, I had a great time playing it through :) |
| Aug 27 09:40:00 | 1h 20m | Two Deep | The game is well realised, graphics are great but there's a lack of interest in the concept...it makes it frustrating. |
| Aug 27 14:05:00 | 4h 25m | i eats lazers! | Really nice game, I had a lot of fun playing it, and it is awfully addictive! |
| Aug 27 14:47:00 | 42m 00s | Low Battery | The gameplay is fast-paced, well tweaked and tough as nails, the art and sound are both great! <br/>On the downsides, though, I would mention a lack of originality, the ludicrous amount of particles that make a good trailer but become a nuisance during gameplay, and mocking your player at each failure. <br/>Ernest Adams explains it way better than I would: http://tinyurl.com/mlxsa3k <br/> <br/>Apart from those specific points, the game is truly amazing and I tip my hat to you! :D |
| Aug 27 15:19:00 | 32m 00s | BouncyTime | Haha! Very fun game, the theme is very well respected and the SFX are priceless! :D |
| Aug 27 15:25:00 | 6m 00s | Infernal Bin | I don't get it. I really tried, but I simply don't get it. Maybe a short explanation of the mechanics would have helped. Can't figure how it fits the theme either. <br/> <br/>Good graphics and sound, though. |
| Aug 27 16:07:00 | 42m 00s | The 10-Second Murder | Wow, simply wow. Although the relationship to the theme is pretty loose, the game is really enjoyable, well structured and well written. Exploring the possibilities is very cool and reminiscent of the best investigation games! <br/> <br/>It's really cool to see that you get to uncover dirty secrets through simple questions. Very nice, I tip my hat to you! The graphics are good too, but it could have used some sound. <br/> <br/>By the way, I found the right answer on my first try! ^^ |
| Aug 27 17:20:00 | 1h 13m | Sustain | I certainly didn't make games when I was your age so I'm quite impressed (and even if I did I don't think I would have had the guts to enter an LD). Keep on making this kind of stuff and you will be a Game Maker guru in no time! <br/> <br/>As a long time GM user (oh gosh I just realized I started using it around the time you were born xD), I would advise you to progressively steer away from the drag and drop functions when you feel confident enough to *replace* them (first you replace, then you create your own solutions). <br/> <br/>Game Maker Studio is now incredible and I'm pretty sure you will become better in no time! Keep it up! <br/> <br/>By the way, how can GMS stop you from creating a standalone executable? o_O |
| Aug 28 00:27:00 | 7h 07m | Castle Clocksworth | Excellent game, definitely one of the best ones I've played in this LD so far! <br/>The only downside I can see is that the character's handling is a bit lacking, and a clear grammar of what will be reset by the time warp and what will not would have helped. <br/> <br/>The graphics are simply awesome, excellent pixel art is pretty scarce. I think this game would be worth expanding, adding interactions to the steam chainsaw (the ice bridge is a great idea!), and refining the handling. <br/> <br/>Sirs, you have my respect :) |
| Aug 28 00:32:00 | 5m 00s | Defuse | Nice take on the bomb theme! |
| Aug 28 00:43:00 | 11m 00s | Sands of Chime - Troll Games | At first I thought "the theme implementation is meh" but after some runs I changed my mind to "this is actually quite an astute twist!" <br/>I like the fact you sometimes have no choice but to run around, waiting for a more favorable ruleset to kick in. However I also think that frequent mana-deadlocks can get irritating (a slow 20%-capped mana regen would have prevented true deadlocks). Also, when you enter some rooms when the carpet is lava, you can't avoid taking damage. Speaking of lava, its sound effect is loud and grating. <br/> <br/>But overall it's a good game with a cool twist and a nice level of polish! Congrats! |
| Aug 28 01:09:00 | 26m 00s | Legend of Epikouros | Wow wow wow. Just wow! Although the actual gameplay is not really fun (does it need to be?) and you have to "wait" for quite some time, the take on the theme is by far the most brillant one I've seen so far. <br/> <br/>The concept itself is reminiscent of both Journey's online mode and http://donottouch.org/. <br/> <br/>I couldn't help but see a metaphor of each "generation" of humans bringing a little something to the advance of mankind at large. Some have a useless and bland life, some an exciting and dangerous one, some make breakthrough they are only partially responsible for. I, Fred, am proud to say I got to open the last of the three doors in the north using the key in the grove :D <br/> <br/>Of course it's part of the concept, but I still regret you have to wait such a long time before playing. Anyway, it's a great game, brilliant concept, with decent art and music. Congratulations! |
| Aug 28 01:18:00 | 9m 00s | 10 Seconds Before the World Ends | Whoa! A great entry, with a brilliant take on the theme! I wondered how time stop could be used to that end, and I can stop thinking about that now; your game gave me the answer. <br/> <br/>Congratulations! |
| Aug 28 08:37:00 | 7h 19m | QuickHunt | Nice graphics but there's a lack of interest in the concept...It'll be great to have victory and defeat conditions! |
| Aug 28 15:17:00 | 6h 40m | Audenary | Pretty nice |
| Aug 28 15:23:00 | 6m 00s | Clonogram | I've probably missed something... I think there's a lack of explanations and/or tutorials. :/ <br/>Anyway, great art style and sounds! |
| Aug 28 15:28:00 | 5m 00s | Proletarian Ninja X | Amazing game and level of polish ! :) |
| Aug 28 15:52:00 | 24m 00s | Duke Dashington | Outstanding level of polish, marvelous execution, awesome artstyle and music! I tip my hat to you! :) <br/>The concept if a very good idea, although I would mention that it is unclear you can only dash sideways while falling. I think it would be better if you could interrupt vertical dashes with sideway ones. Once I did understand that, though, I had no problems. But before that I found the game slightly unclear. |
| Aug 28 16:01:00 | 9m 00s | Tense Conds | Meh, not my cup of tea, I must admit. I get the intention but the execution is slightly too poor for me to fully enjoy (the poor colision detection ruins the song, which is bad since there is not much else to enjoy here). <br/>5/5 for the theme and humor though, I like this kind of a twist! :D <br/> <br/>Also, +1 for the Regular Ordinary Sweedish Meal Time reference :D |
| Aug 28 16:06:00 | 5m 00s | Duel | Great idea! :) |
| Aug 28 18:19:00 | 2h 13m | Dungeon Deadline | Nice pacing, very fun game! I would have loved to see original graphics to be honest, but I can understand that you prefered to focus on what matters. Nice entry! |
| Aug 28 19:18:00 | 59m 00s | Second Base | I matched her tongue for like 1 mn and nothing happened. The premice is fun but the lack of feedback makes the game pretty frustrating. I think I'm missing something here, but I can't seem to grasp the point. Sorry! |
| Aug 28 19:34:00 | 16m 00s | Pressurized | Ha ha, fun little game! I like it, you immediately grasp the interest and it's good to run. Reminds me of Boulder Dash for some reason, although it's actually quite different. Nice entry! <br/> <br/>BTW I'll check this page often to see if you have uploaded source. I'll take a look at why it is so big a file as you requested on the blog :) |
| Aug 29 07:19:00 | 11h 45m | Deathwish Dan | Great game, but very difficult! :) |
| Aug 29 12:17:00 | 4h 58m | Hello Dr. Steiner! | Pretty fun! :D |
| Aug 29 13:13:00 | 56m 00s | Get Those Trophies! | Tells me "PlayerSpritesheet.png is missing" (win 64 exe) <br/> <br/>Too bad, I wanted to try :( |
| Aug 29 13:17:00 | 4m 00s | 1 + 10 More | Nice entry! You should refine the collisions and add some sound though. Keep it up :) |
| Aug 29 13:22:00 | 5m 00s | RopeSwing | Strangely, the mood is there in spite of the minimalism. Promising entry! <br/>The scroll wheel is pretty tough depending on how much it scrolls, and it depends on the player's settings so it might not be such a good idea to rely on that too much. <br/> <br/>Anyway, good entry! |
| Aug 29 13:30:00 | 8m 00s | Legend of Troll | Oh wow, very well polished, beautiful art, interesting use of the theme...it's great! Also, thank you for having rated our game! |
| Aug 29 13:38:00 | 8m 00s | The Wrong Door | Nice art and music, but the game is very hard, and the overall rythm is weird (why so many loooonnng fades ?!?) <br/>Nice game, anyway ! :D |
| Aug 29 13:43:00 | 5m 00s | Dave's Marvelously Mediocre Game | Nice idea but that's not very... fun! :) |
| Aug 29 13:56:00 | 13m 00s | My Lovely Nurse-chan can Kill all these Monsters by Herself! | Fun and polished game! The gameplay could be little more accurate but it actually turns forgiving so I can't complain. <br/> <br/>However, insulting and mocking the player is definitely immature and self-indulgent. It's not clever enough to be really funny. |
| Aug 29 14:05:00 | 9m 00s | DarkLight | Very good idea and nice graphics too! <br/>I quite don't feel it fits the theme well, though (maybe the impeding darkness takes 10 seconds to engulf the room?), but anyway, it's clever. Reminds me of Ikaruga and Outland :) |
| Aug 29 14:08:00 | 3m 00s | 10 Second Rule | Haha! Fun idea, clever and tricky control scheme! <br/>Reminds me of QWOP! |
| Aug 29 16:27:00 | 2h 19m | 10 seconds Are An Eternity | I like it! Especially what you did with the theme. Poorly done, this could have been seen as a way of "cheating" your way out of the constraint but using relativity is actually a very clever idea. <br/>Too bad the game is pretty short and quite easy to beat. Regardless, I like thi entry! :) |
| Aug 29 17:28:00 | 1h 01m | // Quantum Breach // | Great idea for 2 players! |
| Aug 29 17:29:00 | 1m 00s | Countdown Escape | Very great idea! |
| Aug 29 17:39:00 | 10m 00s | You can't kill the Devil. But your baby can | What a strange game...:D |
| Aug 30 07:53:00 | 14h 14m | Hide and Seek | Very good and addicting concept! Could be used in a larger game with no problem as a minigame or as a standalone game. I like it! :) |
| Sep 2 12:03:00 | 76h 10m | Flooded Dungeons | Great entry! Reminds me of Desktop Dungeons, only more fast-paced :) <br/>Excellent replayability, great graphics! <br/> <br/>Only complain: maybe you should have the character blink when entering a level, so that you don't have to look for him and waste precious time just to know where you are. |
| Sep 2 12:11:00 | 8m 00s | 10/10 | Interesting concept. Would like to see more, a little tad simple for the moment. |
| Sep 2 21:32:00 | 9h 21m | Hourglass | Nice mood, nice use of the theme... and pretty good gameplay (I like the inertia!). <br/>Good job! |
| Sep 2 21:36:00 | 4m 00s | Time Perception | I like the concept, it reminds me of a minigame in Rhythm Tengoku for the Wii. |
| Sep 2 21:41:00 | 5m 00s | Charge | I love it! Kinda reminds me of Pikmin for some reason. Anyway, great concept, good use of the theme, very nice controls and great level design! Kudos! |
| Sep 2 21:59:00 | 18m 00s | SoulReaver | Fun Gauntlet-like game. The audio is a bit grating though, and making out the purple tiles among the blue ones is a bit difficult. |
| Sep 2 22:04:00 | 5m 00s | Exocolony | Reminds me of Starflight, it's great! <br/>I like the concept very much, although I do believe it would be improved if you could stop burning fuel and use momentum to get to planets. |
| Sep 2 22:12:00 | 8m 00s | Wing | A little bit too hard but I loooove what you did with the theme. It's original, the setting is cute and the graphics are great. I love that little tune too! <br/>The concept is really good! |
| Sep 2 22:17:00 | 5m 00s | 10 Sec And Slash | Probably one of the best uses of the theme I've seen so far! The music is awesome! |
| Sep 2 22:20:00 | 3m 00s | Weapon Cooldown | I like it! Sound would have helped having a better feedback. Use sfxr next time! :) <br/>Nice implementation of the theme too! |
| Sep 2 22:26:00 | 6m 00s | Baking Bread | Ha ha nice idea! |
| Sep 2 22:30:00 | 4m 00s | FSCK - A Hard Drive Story | Very nice concept, I just love the setting! Sound is great, graphics are great, and the gameplay is gold! Takes a little time to get used to your "powers" and it's very rewarding to master. <br/>However the collision detections could be improved a little, I was often semi-stuck in blocks. |
| Sep 3 09:23:00 | 10h 53m | The Unbelievable Adventures of Kamil the Cat | Haha! I LOVED that game, it's clever, original and whimsical! Thumbs up guys! |
| Sep 3 09:39:00 | 16m 00s | SliP | Amazing graphics, sound and overall production value! Nice concept too: I could definitely see this extended into a Greenlightable version. |
| Sep 4 17:16:00 | 31h 37m | No Time: 10 Lost Seconds | Great entry! Funny how you manage to create a universe from nothing with just some lines of text and a moody atmosphere! |
