| Aug 26 02:25:00 | Captain Timewarp | This game is very innovative, but not very fun. The slippery controls and speedy bullet of a player made it almost impossible. I got past the first level but the next was just too much, and I couldn't do it. The theme was represented pretty well, and the graphics were good as well. The audio wasn't good, but at least it didn't blow my eardrums out. No humor to be found, and with no real mood, I give this over all a 2/5. | |
| Aug 26 02:33:00 | 8m 00s | Last words | This game is extremely innovative. Innovative, but not fun. Not fun at all. This game is just way too hard. I basically ended up just frantically typing random letters for 10 seconds. Nice execution of the theme, it makes a very good mood, but audio is no where to be found. Overall 3/5. |
| Aug 26 02:39:00 | 6m 00s | 10 Seconds to Save the Kingdom | I had some fun playing this... Unfortunately the game loved regularly pausing and eventually crashing. Also, 10 seconds seemed like an after though, as I felt no use of the theme. The only thing saving the game was the fact that it was humorous and was pretty looking. 3/5. |
| Aug 26 02:47:00 | 8m 00s | Keeper | This was very... Interesting. The gameplay wasn't the best, but I was honestly very hooked. The simple graphics and incredible audio made this game more of an experience. This was incredible. No doubt, 5/5 |
| Aug 26 02:53:00 | 6m 00s | Agent Dan | I gave this an overall 3/5. It was cool, and actually pretty fun, but the thing was that I couldn't tell where 10 seconds came from. I guess you had 10 seconds to catch the terrorist, but couldn't you have made a timer to tell you that? |
| Aug 26 03:00:00 | 7m 00s | Time Gate | This game was ok, if not a bit confusing. I had the most trouble with that terrible camera angle. The first 2 are only there so you can know exactly where your ship isn't. The 3rd is the only good one. Also, the red ring took me too many tries to figure out what it meant - just having a -5 sec written over it or something so I knew it was bad. I thought I was dying because I flew into it wrong! Also your sound was too harsh. With SFXR, you want the output volume to be really low, otherwise it is extremely loud and grating. |
| Aug 26 03:09:00 | 9m 00s | Gauntenlet | This game was pretty cool, very fun and showed the theme well. It was solid, tight, and very capable of being one of my favorite entries yet. <br/>Until that one level where you had to avoid the walls. 4/5 overall. |
| Aug 26 03:12:00 | 3m 00s | Biform | 4/5 great entry! I loved the smiley face! This game was very innovative and really fun! I just really enjoyed it, there isn't much else to say! |
| Aug 26 03:23:00 | 11m 00s | Feed Me Word Things | I was surprised to realize that I love this game for some reason. It's innovative, fun, humorous, and has good atmosphere. A typing game is all those things. Take my 5/5, and let me live in shame of this fact. |
| Aug 26 03:29:00 | 6m 00s | Aftur | I'm not trying to say it's bad, it's just unplayable. Seriously, platforming doesn't work when your character rockets off once you lightly tap the arrow. I got the key after about 20 tries. The bomb? Never got it. Try getting into that room without flying right off the ledge! 2/5. |
| Aug 26 03:47:00 | 18m 00s | Highway Hero | Nice entry! It was a little difficult and meticulous, though. |
| Aug 27 14:49:00 | 35h 02m | Game of Throws | 4/5, great entry but I didn't really see the theme. Did the bomb have a 10 second timer? Could you have shown that? |
| Aug 27 14:52:00 | 3m 00s | TIMEBUG | Very interesting game! It looked, and sounded beautiful! It was fun, but a little brief for my taste. I loved the concept of being a mechanical bug trying to rush to a specific place, while other mechanical bugs were like "no fuck you". This game didn't need tutorials because it was very intuitive. Congrats, 5/5. |
| Aug 27 14:56:00 | 4m 00s | Duel | 3/5, nice entry. It was pretty fun, but unfortunately, matchmaking seems to not work. I didn't really like the graphics, but the sound was pretty nice. The theme wasn't well implemented to me, but that's just my opinion. |
| Aug 27 15:04:00 | 8m 00s | rumble on the graveyard | Nicely done. The only hard part about this game is the final boss, as every other enemy in the game can be defeated by hammering x. The lack of audio is a sin, considering that there is a program called SFXR that is a free download that can randomly generate sine wave, sawtooth, squarewave, and noise sounds. These make it easy to fill your game with beautiful sound, so lacking it is really bad. Just having some sound would have been nice. Also, no 10 seconds? This reeks of having a vision you wanted to fulfill this ld, and you couldn't because of the theme. 2/5 weak entry. |
| Aug 27 15:06:00 | 2m 00s | MEGA FRIENDSHIP BATTLE ELEVATOR | Not going to rate it since I couldn't do anything in the game, not even move once the bell rang. Resetting the game seriously has to replay the whole title sequence? |
| Aug 27 15:11:00 | 5m 00s | Tale of a Lost Soul | Nice graphics, but too bad it was laggy to the point of being unplayable. 2/5, weak entry. |
| Aug 27 15:13:00 | 2m 00s | Count by Tap | Aww, can't play on windows :( <br/>Looks cute, and the comments seem to think so too. |
| Aug 27 15:25:00 | 12m 00s | Second Legend | Nicely done, except... Boy did you forget that the only tiles that need displaying are the ones touching the screen, which you could have utilized to make objects not display unless they were on the screen... Also some sound would have been nice. And there is no reason to fight any enemy in the game, so I just ran past and did fine. Pretty interesting implementation of the theme, if only I knew where to go... Eh. 2/5. |
| Aug 27 15:37:00 | 12m 00s | Macgoober | Wow, impressive for 8 hours! If I get this right, each wire has a specific effect and you have 10 seconds to get the green bar to where the arrow points? Nice design! I really enjoyed it. 4/5 |
| Aug 27 15:41:00 | 4m 00s | 10 Seconds Flat | Good job. I liked the extra blocks, but it took me a while to figure out that blue blocks would hurt you. It also took me a while to figure out that the mouse controlled the player. |
| Aug 27 15:49:00 | 8m 00s | Nuclear Adventure | Cool game, especially for your first entry! First entries always turn out pretty lame. I didn't like how much the character slides for the shooting mini game, and damned if that corridor game isn't impossible. It usually takes me about 5 seconds just to locate the buttons I need to run, and then I die and then I get all sad face because this game is too hard. Nicely done, though, and great job with music! |
| Aug 27 15:59:00 | 10m 00s | CyberMaiden | It was ok. The only thing that really bothered me was the scanner. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get past that stage. It doesn't help that there is a consistent crash when you go there for the 3rd or 4th time where the game decides you just can't continue and freezes, but the music keeps going. The scanner gives you very little indication, with the animation being small and only 3 seconds long. Could you have just made a small circle around it so I could see where the scanner would come from? Otherwise, pretty ok. |
| Aug 27 17:23:00 | 1h 24m | Hype | Nice entry, seems you don't have much experience making platformers though. Tips by me - handle x speed and y speed seperately in collision, so you can tell from what direction the player is hitting something. |
| Aug 27 17:46:00 | 23m 00s | Pixel Invasion | Great entry! I loved the music and quirky graphics! The game is really fun and makes you play a lot more than you would have expected. 4/5! |
| Aug 27 20:14:00 | 2h 28m | Mechanical Covert Espionage | Nicely done! I love the graphics and audio. The theme wasn't really well implemented, but the game's fun makes up for that. |
| Aug 27 22:39:00 | 2h 25m | Keg Quest | Nicely done! Liked the graphics and mechanics a lot! Was pretty fun! |
| Aug 28 00:32:00 | 1h 53m | Stay Alive | Really fun! Lots of polish, nice graphics and sound! It's a little hard for my tastes, though, and detracted from the fun. |
| Aug 29 15:23:00 | 38h 51m | Power For 10 | This is an interesting game, although it seems that the turrets were randomly deciding not to do their job and therefore made the game generally more clunky. |
| Aug 29 17:50:00 | 2h 27m | Richard Was Afraid Of The Dark | Interesting game. I liked the music, and the sort of fish eye effect around Richard. Also the text was a cool effect. I wish that the controls were just a bit tighter. |
| Aug 29 18:20:00 | 30m 00s | LevelUp! | Really fun! Pretty addictive! I liked how limited you feel at the beginning of it. It would have been nice to see a more obvious display of how long till you level up. Also, bullet speed is a useless upgrade, because it doesn't help you in any way. You could have made larger bullets, or maybe multi bullets instead. |
| Aug 30 15:52:00 | 21h 32m | Time Flies | Really nice little space shooter! Very intense! I liked the graphics and sound, especially the music. The only bother was you had no continues, and when you retried, your upgrades remained until the next stage or until you died again. Also, saying "level up" is a bit of a misnomer, it would make more sense to say "next stage". Otherwise, very fun and challenging entry! |
| Aug 30 15:56:00 | 4m 00s | Water Closet | Interesting game, but a little too awkward and clunky to be much fun. |
| Aug 30 16:07:00 | 11m 00s | Continuing running | Very interesting entry. It is unfortunate that most of this game's difficulty comes from the less than functional controls, because I can see very clearly that you have a good sense of level design. You were trying to create maze like levels to confuse the player, but your platforming engine is so broken players were just getting confused by trying to move. |
| Aug 30 16:11:00 | 4m 00s | Survive | Ah, the infamous non-functional entry. I've had my share of this. Use different tools next time, bro. Sorry. |
| Aug 30 16:14:00 | 3m 00s | Basketball Shootout | Pretty cool! Unfortunately, the best strategy is to just fire off as many basket balls as you can in the hopes that one bounces it. There was a fairly common glitch that would lock the balls into flying straight up and would end the game. |
| Aug 30 21:51:00 | 5h 37m | Time Ball! | Really cool, if only it was slightly more functional, cuz most jumps were impossible, the friction was too low and boy did your character speed any which way he wanted. |
| Aug 31 15:32:00 | 17h 41m | Pleading Rain | Really neat game! It tells a lot without saying many words, and really makes you care. It is a little too hard to not die, though, because thinking takes too long. Maybe cut down on the number of things he can think about? |
| Aug 31 15:34:00 | 2m 00s | Hunted | Tripped up my anti-virus, and lately my computer has been buggy so sorry bro, didn't play it. |
| Aug 31 15:39:00 | 5m 00s | Spark | Really interesting game. I immediately noticed how most of the levels are designed to look like organs, such as a heart and lungs and a kidney that I saw. The game was too slippery so it ended up being harder than it should have been, but very nice entry! |
| Aug 31 19:13:00 | 3h 34m | ROBOT PLANET | Really interesting, very fun. It was pretty challenging too. The hyperventilation sound effect was able to make me panic a little, or at least made me hurry up. |
| Aug 31 20:22:00 | 1h 09m | Clockwork Cat | A beautiful little game, with an adorable protagonist and an interesting mechanic. |
| Sep 1 12:21:00 | 15h 59m | Solitude | Interesting game, although I think the music clashed a bit with the mood. I felt like you could have gone for a more somber and scary mood, and made the environments more ominous and forced the player to do uncomfortable tasks such as jumping down large pits, but you missed the opportunity. However, the end product is still a quite amazing game! |
| Sep 1 12:30:00 | 9m 00s | TIME SHIFTER | Beautiful game, with very interesting mechanics. I love grand piano music in games, and this game took full advantage of it. I love how every level feels grand. My only complaints are that the character and the time mechanic both share an issue with acceleration where they accelerate very slowly for half a second, and speed off faster than you can tell. |
| Sep 3 19:36:00 | 55h 06m | Teleportant | I loved the quirky sound effects, and the music really grew on me. Also I liked the art style, very clear that canabalt had some influence in there. The gameplay itself was pretty fun, but in my opinion the bullets being more visible would have been nice. |
| Sep 4 19:34:00 | 23h 58m | Dimming | The concept was great, but the camera speed was so fast that it became disorienting. Also I would have liked for the mouse to disappear, but that's nitpicking. I like the audio, although the falling was a bit prolonged. I also liked the maze idea, but the flashlight dimming really didn't do much as long as you hammered jump. |
| Sep 4 19:41:00 | 7m 00s | Dark Interval | Really cool survival-horror esque game. I was actually very surprised when the monster killed me. The screen freaking out was a neat effect and made you panic without causing too much distortion. I ended up hammering up, and just running from side to side which worked a bit too well. |
| Sep 4 22:02:00 | 2h 21m | clicker | Really neat little game! I loved the mechanics, although the shaky levels were almost impossible due to a glitch that would make it so that only every other frame did the game consider your mouse "on" the tile. Very neat for how small it is. Did you have a time constraint of some kind? Also I suggest for packaging that you make each version with their specific natives only, instead of packaging them all. |
| Sep 6 23:36:00 | 49h 34m | Jack and the Alarm Clock | Really cool! I liked the different take on a classic tale. I think the mechanic was pretty cool, but unfortunately the game had less of a focus on placing snooze buttons in well planned places, instead focusing on how fast you can do a pixel perfect jump. The first chicken level is nearly impossible due to this. |
| Sep 6 23:58:00 | 22m 00s | Insomniac | This game is incredible. It's strangely imersive and gets across the feeling of slowly descending into madness due to a strange shadow in the corner. The theme wasn't really implemented well, because it was only there to tell a bit more story that wasn't necessary, but fortunately this is a great game. |
| Sep 8 19:31:00 | 43h 33m | Seanan's Brewery | Great game but is almost broken due to the fact that having too many employees results in AI failure. I know it's supposed to be a game mechanic, but sometimes buying 1 employee makes 4 others stop working. Also it would make more sense for 2 employees to go over to the hops and collect 2 hops. Otherwise, awesome!! You should definitely make a full length game out of this! |
| Sep 12 00:04:00 | 76h 33m | Time Frame | Incredible game. The music was a little too short which made the majority of the game silent. Other than that it was just beautiful. I loved the effects on the sun, although if the sun image was smaller it would look nicer. I ended up spending the first 7 minutes running around aimlessly until I discovered a town. As I saw the town, I looked over to discover an object in the air. I ran towards it, and realized what it was. For some reason, I stood there as it flew towards me. I tried going back to the village, but it was pointless. It struck anyway. Beautiful game. Absolutely beautiful. It had a true sense of discovery about it which made it whimsical yet dark, almost like majora's mask. Your game that you made in 3 days, just got compared to majora's mask. Be proud. |
| Sep 14 13:18:00 | 61h 14m | Little Square and the Circle Clan Invasion | This is a very confusing game, which made it too hard. I couldn't tell what the heck was going on. |
| Sep 14 16:11:00 | 2h 53m | Some kind of Evil Pink Stuff | I liked the game but it was oughly clunky, had lots of sound lag and what is up with the end sound. I thought the end sound was probably the worst. Nice job on having music though? |
| Sep 14 16:13:00 | 2m 00s | Space Hunt | Kind of boring, and the bullets were hard to see. I liked the falcon though and the music was a good touch. |
| Sep 14 16:22:00 | 9m 00s | Tunnel Vision | This game is pretty awesome, with a smooth music track to go with it. I disliked the insane difficulty with the spike area, but I liked this game overall a lot. Also, the first time you save it gives you an error instead of just creating a save file. |
