Aug 25 05:41:00 Platform Sprinter Interesting! Couldn't get much past 72000 score or to the end, since it's very fast paced. The music is great! The game screen seems to vibrate sometimes very you actually start the round, but that's just a visual thing. Fun!
Aug 26 09:07:00 27h 26m Greed Run Interesting idea. Those aren't exactly tank-like controls, since they're cardinal directions only, but it was still fun. What I would have liked was the level spawn to have movement (not necessarily turning as well) disabled for a small period right after spawning. As it is, you can fall into a spike trap immediately after spawning from the previous level, if you're not careful.
Aug 26 09:09:00 2m 00s 10 Seconds To Live Amusing. Neat game.
Aug 26 09:15:00 6m 00s Thade Interesting story, which explains the actual game quite well. A 'skip prologue' button would have been useful; if there is one, I couldn't find it.
Aug 26 09:20:00 5m 00s 10 seconds of Hell Interesting design. Not sure what happens when you're low on health, however. It seems like the avatar collapses, but you start moving laterally instead of forwards, then. I also seemed to get a small area of play the first time around. Three or four rooms connected by a couple of 'corridors', and not much else.
Aug 26 09:26:00 6m 00s Hold My Beer! Interesting idea, not sure what it has to do with either '10 seconds' or a beer/being american. Got stuck at the guy with the bat, despite your tip. Seemed very random whether I actually hit him, so not sure what's going on there.
Aug 26 09:30:00 4m 00s Tenth Second Interesting idea. Couldn't really figure it all out. Very Pratchett-y style of story, especially the death scene.
Aug 26 09:37:00 7m 00s Demon Infiltration Interesting game. Couldn't understand the first tip about the 'poster'.
Aug 26 09:42:00 5m 00s 10 Seconds = 10 Moves Great idea, I like the core game. I also like the music. Hit a bug on the power-up level, where I couldn't actually move on to the finish because trying to get off the moving platform placed me back on the moving platform.
Aug 26 09:48:00 6m 00s Tale of a Lost Soul Nice graphics. Sounds are a bit too harsh, and music a bit too up-beat. Some mellow tunes might have worked better. To The Top level seems unbeatable. As fast as the game would let me, couldn't reach the last time piece.
Aug 26 09:50:00 2m 00s 10 Second Defense Interesting idea, nice audio. Needs some more graphics work, but the core game is there.
Aug 26 09:55:00 5m 00s 10 Second shooting Very basic idea. The game itself is sound, but there's no feedback, through sound or graphics. Graphics needs some more work as well.
Aug 26 09:58:00 3m 00s Hiccup 2 Interesting idea. Very hard to hit some of the jumps. Otherwise, a fun game, good job.
Aug 26 10:06:00 8m 00s Beyond Hope Interesting audio, I liked the mood. A good deal too pretentious in the story, sort of like Braid. Good job nonetheless.
Aug 26 10:09:00 3m 00s Crazy Genetist Fun little game. Wish it weren't all so luck-based though. Ended up with one end left and none of the pieces I had could be placed.
Aug 26 10:15:00 6m 00s MUD Neat game, a bit too hard from the 3rd level on. Also, the 'bigger bullets' button has the price off-screen.
Aug 26 10:21:00 6m 00s TSHIF Neat game. I agree that this could easily be expanded into a really good game without the ten-second limitation and with a sort of level select. Maybe add levels that do a dogleg at the middle, and the robot starts walking towards that new direction. Possibilities are endless.
Aug 26 10:31:00 10m 00s Tiny Petards Very fun game! Played through it, and had at least two 'A-ha!' moments, which are the sign of a good game of this genre. Top job.
Aug 26 10:39:00 8m 00s Wordz Interesting. Took me a while to realise letters didn't have to be adjacent to one another. Should have looked at your screenshot first.
Aug 26 10:43:00 4m 00s Combat Time!! Quite interesting. Reminiscent of old turn-based hot-seat 2-player games, where you had to trust the other player to not peek.
Aug 26 11:21:00 38m 00s Ab Solanum Interesting idea. I like the game itself, but I'm kind of annoyed with the graphics. It feels like if the assets were at twice the resolution they currently are at, it would look less ...blurry. <br/> <br/>Mobs also seem to decide randomly to attack, and sometimes don't attack even when provoked. <br/> <br/>Bullet collision seemed problematic, the bullet spawns in front of you at a certain distance, and moves really fast. <br/> <br/>But these are all things that are fixed easily and don't interrupt the game too much. Good job!
Aug 26 11:24:00 3m 00s Target Down Interesting idea. The game was pretty fun, with two minor points: I spawned right next to the enemy the first four times and got instantly shot to death, the credits are unskippable and there's no easy way to retry immediately like you would when you fail. <br/> <br/>With both of those changed, maybe extended with a few other mechanics, it could be a fun coffeebreak game.
Aug 26 11:33:00 9m 00s Love Your Pets Great idea. I like the story/concept, I just wish it were a bit easier interface-wise. Things seem to hilight only when in a small angle from in front of you. Alternatively, make turning around start slowly and accelerate the longer you keep it pressed, so you can actually do precise movement. I like the game despite struggling with the controls.
Aug 26 12:09:00 36m 00s The qi quest A bit confused. Played the HTML5 version and it constantly got stuck and wouldn't let me release the object. Didn't really get the point of the 'binary' thing. Interesting, though.
Aug 26 12:13:00 4m 00s Railway Rage Really interesting. I liked the graphics. A bit too fast-paced during battle phases and too slow-paced between trains, starting out. Quite fun though.
Aug 26 12:16:00 3m 00s Four Bombs Neat idea. Quite hard, but retries are the point of it. I liked it!
Aug 26 12:22:00 6m 00s Under Water Really cool mood set by the graphics. Took me a while to get a hang of the controls, but it works. Audio and a clear goal would have made this an excellent game.
Aug 26 12:29:00 7m 00s YorkTime Interesting idea. Not sure what the point of the Stop node is, however. I wish hitting space would reset the view to your player. Good job, regardless!
Aug 26 12:37:00 8m 00s Life of a Photon Really nice game. Some weird bugs where I would randomly enter the same screen, then warp to another screen in the middle, and where the time would reset to 10.0 despite not restarting. Also, unintuitive that leaving from the top of the screen makes you come out of the bottom screen. Still a fun game. The ghost trails and high scores make it very replayable. I also really enjoyed the tutorial design!
Aug 26 12:43:00 6m 00s Time Ghost I love it. Would have been nice for each level to show how many ghosts you can use, but it's just a minor nuisance. A kill-ghost button would also have been useful. Entertaining though, a really good logic puzzle!
Aug 26 14:38:00 1h 55m Fast Explorer Interesting idea. I wish you got a message about what to do before dying though. Couldn't get to the treasure room door after numerous attempts, and no hint in the death message there.
Aug 27 12:55:00 22h 17m Hurry UP! Great graphics, I love the character. The terrain is okay, some sort of simple lighting for the surface-level tiles would have made it really stand out. Overall, really good!
Aug 27 13:56:00 1h 01m Jimmy The Knight Fails to load for me. White screen, right-clicking brings up Flash context menu. Running Flash 11.8.500.115 in Chrome. <br/> <br/>Good to see fellow country-men as well. :)
Aug 30 10:37:00 68h 41m Sleep Well Very interesting! A bit slow-paced at times, but fun nonetheless. I love the graphics.
