| Aug 26 03:12:00 | Every Ten Seconds A Kitten Drowns | Goddamn! Why, Orangey? Why?? Well I killed a lot of kittens. <br/> <br/>I had trouble at first with the mines. The hit box was larger than I expected. After that it was smooth sailing. Nice touches with the boat naming, cat naming and upgrade system. <br/> <br/>This game does for boats and cats what Choplifter did for helicopters and POWs. | |
| Aug 26 03:51:00 | 39m 00s | Just Another Game With A 10 Second Mechanic | Hey, I won! Woo. I don't like that the spacebar doesn't register while pressing A/D, but other than that, fun game. Some parts were very challenging. The art style reminds me of Chuck Close. |
| Aug 26 04:01:00 | 10m 00s | DeepField | This very rapidly gets nuts. :) I think I broke my mouse trying to shoot faster... |
| Aug 26 04:10:00 | 9m 00s | Aftur | Controls are very mushy, which makes for a difficult time platforming. Are all the platforms covered in grease and ice? But the simple art style is nice and clean and I like the design. However, I am upset that you compromised my spinal integrity. |
| Aug 26 04:32:00 | 22m 00s | 10-Second Shadow Block-Dude! | Nice! Gave up on level 10 after twenty or so tries. Maybe my brain tomorrow can handle it. |
| Aug 26 04:44:00 | 12m 00s | Cubic Run | 1367. Works well. Hard to test the "left slam" on the simulator, but the glide and extra jumps were useful. |
| Aug 26 04:54:00 | 10m 00s | Stuck in a Clock | It's not running for me either, Safari/Mac. SWF seems to load because I can get the right click menu but it just flashes white and then goes grey. |
| Aug 26 05:08:00 | 14m 00s | Graveyard Shift | Great mood. I had trouble with the melee. Every time I used it I'd lose a 15% of my health bar or so. This is even when nobody's near me. Hrm! I'll stick with guns... |
| Aug 26 05:16:00 | 8m 00s | Grassroots Samba | I just totally won that election. I think it was my stance about haircuts that put me over the top. Funny and great art style. |
| Aug 26 05:21:00 | 5m 00s | 1000ms | The sprint and crazy modes appeared to be both crazy... I could only get 1 or 2 lines out at those levels and that's because the game telegraphs the first line. The other two modes are more interesting. |
| Aug 26 05:28:00 | 7m 00s | Under Water | Phew! Made it. Very nicely done. I like the art. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite serene under water. It's a little hard to angle the character when swimming toward the air pockets but I didn't mind the effect - it creates good tension. Nice job. |
| Aug 26 05:43:00 | 15m 00s | A Timely Dimension of Space | Mostly straight-forward. The timer adds a little bit of timing tension to it, but not much. It isn't until the third level where things get more interesting. |
| Aug 26 15:51:00 | 10h 08m | Haraka | Nice job. I thought the levels were balanced for difficulty until the one pictured in the 2nd screenshot. That jump has to be so precise, and the two out of thirty times I made it I couldn't figure out how to proceed further after making it. Also your hit boxes seem to be a little larger than the spikes themselves. Anyhow, fun game! |
| Aug 26 16:06:00 | 15m 00s | Are you? | Dramatic story, somewhat melancholy. Very good, for what it is, but having one choice in a game is pretty weak gameplay. Although I did have to go back and try the other choice.. |
| Aug 26 16:22:00 | 16m 00s | My Tenth Adventure | I have super pooer! Unfortunately after refreshing my browser I wasn't super awesome, so this game lied to me. Nice sword and sorcery style graphics. Inscrutable puzzle design, but I kept trying and eventually figured it out. |
| Aug 26 16:46:00 | 24m 00s | The only one | I can't figure out how to beat Mary in the boss battle. |
| Aug 26 18:40:00 | 1h 54m | Cast Out | Is there a strategy for the combat? It seems to be random. |
| Aug 26 18:50:00 | 10m 00s | 10 Seconds Flat | Avoiding the bars gets pretty challenging. I didn't like the teleport power ups, though. I would preferred temporary invulnerability. |
| Aug 26 20:35:00 | 1h 45m | Little Peeps | Very nice! I really enjoyed this. The only nitpick is you can render a level unsolvable if you let a peep go extinct on the previous level. I didn't realize peeps carry over. At first I was trying to make my missing green peep by sending mixed colors pick up the circles... :) |
| Aug 26 20:53:00 | 18m 00s | Origin Within | Nicely done.This boy won in 59 cycles and 4 treasures. I kept flinging myself onto the spikes for no good reason. Tiny sprites! |
| Aug 26 21:02:00 | 9m 00s | Short Nightmares | Some auditory clues as to the correct path would be nice. I think I stubbed my toe in the dark. |
| Aug 26 21:16:00 | 14m 00s | MYHORIZON | Good game. Got 282 kills. Gets tricky if you're not paying attention to the attraction/repulsion timer. A series of auditory cues before flip would be nice! |
| Aug 26 21:26:00 | 10m 00s | t.i.m.e | This worked fine on Mac/Safari. I wasn't sure of the 7/5 distinction on minutes and hours; the slow clocks (hours) reset the level and the middle clocks (minutes) seem to ignore you. Once you realize the 10 fast (seconds) clocks are the only ones not moving the game gets easier. |
| Aug 26 21:35:00 | 9m 00s | Apotheosis | Wow! Weird! Definitely a unique combination of mechanics. Some very nice art here - platform, background, cube. |
| Aug 26 21:44:00 | 9m 00s | The Devil That Comes | Creepy. Finishing gave me carpal tunnel. |
| Aug 27 12:30:00 | 14h 46m | Tiny Arena | 3300. Nice music, very Doomy, I felt some John Carmack hanging over me. I loved the shurikens and the bows, great feel to them. Hated the bombs! Bombs hurt. Bad bombs. Really hated the bombs when angry otto comes out and bounces at me. Overall a good, complete game! |
| Aug 28 03:43:00 | 15h 13m | Cheese It! | The graphics are fantastic, I love the rodent animations. It does get a little tedious after a while. The ability to throw cheese would be nice, or to carry multiple pieces, as a power up to find. Very nice presentation! |
| Aug 28 15:38:00 | 11h 55m | Time Annex | Great game! A nice take on the theme. <br/> <br/>My first game I was just clicking around and got 20k. My second game I understood what I was actually trying to do and got 90k. And on my third game I dug out the interior of a "U" shape and then followed the U for one massive combo scored 321,870. I imagine digging out a spiral would give even more points. |
| Aug 30 18:02:00 | 50h 24m | Flooded Dungeons | Nice work. Really enjoyable roguelike. I'd like it more if there were audio cues when certain events happen: specifically low health and bomb can't be used here. Well done and a good application of the theme. |
| Aug 30 18:25:00 | 23m 00s | Delayed | Good concept. I didn't like it at first, but it warms up to you. I don't know if a countdown timer on the player piece or in the corner would make the waiting better or worse. :) On Mac the game froze on level Prison after attempting a third restart or so. Just a spinning rainbow while the music continued. |
