| Dec 15 18:24:00 | Last Minute Christmas Chopping | What a fun game, excellent presentation! For some reason my arrow keys didn't show instructions the first time I played so I didn't know what I was doing. Next time they did, and got the idea. <br/> <br/>Really like the lighting effects, getting darker as you go and the torch lighting at the end. Nice and smooth too, Chrome only at 9% on my desktop PC. Straightforward use of the actual theme, but the snowy Christmas theme is really great. | |
| Dec 15 18:47:00 | 23m 00s | Orbit | I like the setting and ideas. Good level design, I failed about one step before getting into the module! Will have to try that again. |
| Dec 15 18:54:00 | 7m 00s | Left | Clever theme idea, only one control. It's hard but quite addictive. Cool how you can bounce off walls at small angles and the Yay! is funny. Good to see another boat/ship based game. |
| Dec 16 03:20:00 | 8h 26m | The Adventures of Yogo | Great little game! The jumping mechanic is really smooth and gives you good control. The main character is nicely done and suits the rest of the game. Good music. The timer makes some of the levels hard but not too bad. I like having the melee and arrow attacks. |
| Dec 16 03:35:00 | 15m 00s | Boomerang | What a fun game! Well done! The graphic style is clean and the use of the theme very clever. |
| Dec 16 03:47:00 | 12m 00s | Unojo's One Button Adventure | Had fun playing this. I like how it tells you the controls as you go along and it's impressive how much control you give out of one key. <br/>When I got to the place in your main screenshot I couldn't get up the wall and ended going back to the left again. Well done! |
| Dec 16 04:13:00 | 26m 00s | ONE.Platformer | Well done, great for a first timer (me too!). Works great in chrome. You should be proud of it! |
| Dec 16 04:19:00 | 6m 00s | Patch | Hi, tried to play but it isn't working on my Windows 7 64 bit PC. The main menu displays but nothing happens when I click the Tutorial. When I click Play I get a runtime error. Here's a screenshot of it: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/209102/patch_error.jpg |
| Dec 16 04:30:00 | 11m 00s | Monster Interceptor | The best music I've heard yet this LD! Amazing and moody. Enjoyed the sine wave style weapons. Did you create it yourself? <br/> <br/>I didn't realise you can hold the space bar down to make continuous beams until later. Has hints of the old PC space game Ascendency. |
| Dec 16 04:41:00 | 11m 00s | One Sword To Escape | Really like the humor of the writing and the "beam up" when you die. Trying to jump right next to a step is a bit hard and timing the sword attack is tricky. Well done overall, I had fun playing it. |
| Dec 16 04:48:00 | 7m 00s | Rainbbow Man | Congrats for finishing your first game, well done! I tried a few times but with all the platforms moving to the right I couldn't see how to actually get to the cake. As soon as I started moving everything slowed down but so did rainbow man. Maybe I'm missing something important? |
| Dec 16 04:58:00 | 10m 00s | Capitalis | Very interesting idea. The potato people just sat on the ground not moving at all, is that expected? No more money. I guess the people need to move in to make rent money. Very good windowing system with the info boxes at the top right. Well done! |
| Dec 16 05:04:00 | 6m 00s | System Control | Great presentation, humor and music! Pretty hard to multi task the support machines, but clever idea. |
| Dec 16 05:10:00 | 6m 00s | MonoRoll | Good 3d puzzle game. I enjoyed the rolling mechanic and the help text as part of the game is a nice idea. The lower walls looked a bit too much like high walls and maybe we should be able to roll along walls for a while instead of dying. Well done! (My game also uses procedural generation) |
| Dec 16 05:20:00 | 10m 00s | You Only Have One Color | Had fun grabbing colors and jumping across gaps. The control feels really intuitive. Nice music and mood. Like the scarf flying behind the player. Bit tricky to quickly change color to match zombies. Well done! |
| Dec 16 05:34:00 | 14m 00s | Spirit Cave | You create feelings as much as you make games. Like your previous game it makes me think of things I hardly ever do while playing a game. Great theme usage. We all only really get one other who will cast light on the dark holes so we can see them and safely jump over them to go on. The two friends reminded me of the old Head Over Heels game from the C64, Spectrum. |
| Dec 16 06:04:00 | 30m 00s | One Man Armies | Great use of the theme. Really like the building up of your army as you move along. Nice graphics, the forests are cool. Well done, really fun game. |
| Dec 16 06:10:00 | 6m 00s | Polytonia Music | Very clever and tailor made for a mobile/tablet version. When the accompanying music starts it gets really addictive and relaxing. Excellent. |
| Dec 16 06:19:00 | 9m 00s | parallelsync | The parallel timestamp idea is interesting. Nice graphics style. At first I thought my sound card had blown up ;) but then I got used to it and I found the sounds atmospheric. Good game! |
| Dec 16 06:28:00 | 9m 00s | One Man Fire Brigade | Fun puzzler game. The fire spreads quickly which makes levels tough but the shooting water mechanic is great. I liked the fire break levels the best as they allow a bit more control over the fire. Well done! |
| Dec 16 06:37:00 | 9m 00s | Shadow Night | That's impressive for someone new to Unity. Really good mood with the background rain etc. When I first came across the black thing I thought it was a bug as i was lifted up to the ceiling and could only see parts of the things body. Great effort! |
| Dec 16 06:48:00 | 11m 00s | One Item | Nice puzzle game. I like the theme usage/strategy to pick the right equipment item. The graphics are very well done. When I fell down the hole on level 3, I seemed to be stuck there and had to restart. Great effort! |
| Dec 16 06:58:00 | 10m 00s | Curtain Call | Great presentation and mood. The facial animations where cool, the people really had personality. A laid back and fun game. Well done! |
| Dec 16 07:07:00 | 9m 00s | Space Worm | Can't run on my Windows 7 64bit pc. libgcc_s_seh_1 dll could not be found. |
| Dec 16 07:12:00 | 5m 00s | But You Want One More | Well done 3d puzzler. The changing arrows really keep you on your toes. The rotation and movement of the board make it hard to keep your eyes things but thats the point I guess. I enjoyed playing it, thanks. |
| Dec 16 07:24:00 | 12m 00s | th3 r00m | This is a really original game. I like the sense of mystery about who/what you are and why the room controls you. Graphics are also full of imagination although maybe a bit too dark to see clearly always. I'm going to come back and try to complete this game. Great game. |
| Dec 16 07:42:00 | 18m 00s | Agent LD28 | This is a really fun little game. Watching the chain reaction caused by your one shot is really amusing. The isometric style is always cool and works really well. Excellent game! |
| Dec 16 07:52:00 | 10m 00s | Bowerbird Quest | A fun memory based game. Really liked the art style. The blinking bird is a great touch. Well done! |
| Dec 16 08:00:00 | 8m 00s | YOGOB | This is a clever idea that was a bit confusing to start with but then became clearer. I like the simplicity of a Yes/No response to every event. The upcoming event text should be larger and more prominent and the stats display is also a bit small. A good fun game when you get into it. |
| Dec 16 08:19:00 | 19m 00s | You Only Get Juan | Ahhh the irony! Why did you even submit this? I wasted almost 10 minutes downloading and then trying to work out what is wrong with the game. Not cool. |
| Dec 16 08:27:00 | 8m 00s | 1 Baller Resource Brick Braker | Good effort at a breakout style game. I like the different resource idea. I notice that you can change the direction of the ball. In a lot of breakout games you can do this by moving as the ball hits the bat or making the ball hit close to the edge of the bat. |
| Dec 16 08:33:00 | 6m 00s | Jump Chip | The simultaneous control takes a little getting used to but then it's great. Really like the bouncing of each other mechanic. Great game very well done. |
| Dec 16 08:44:00 | 11m 00s | Deep Life | This looks like a much bigger project than can be completed in 2 or 3 days. Good visuals and detailed story. Good effort! |
| Dec 16 08:50:00 | 6m 00s | One Shot | Tough game but after a few plays I got better. Graphics are well done. The music is motivating. Great effort! |
| Dec 16 12:20:00 | 3h 30m | The TORPEDO | The programming aspect of this is fun. I couldn't work out how to remove a command once added. Nice game overall. |
| Dec 17 00:10:00 | 11h 50m | Lost Robots | Jumping the ramp was fun and worked every time for me. Knocking trees was great, I tried to get them to flip on their heads. Add more "stuff" and it could be excellent. |
| Dec 17 06:36:00 | 6h 26m | Ghost Run | The evil looking shadow lurking off the edge of the screen was a great effect. The eerie high pitched tone and general darkness create a really nice mood. The game window started tiny on my 1920x1200 screen but the resizable window is great. Took me a short while to work out which key was the action key (shift on my Windows 7 pc). Well done. |
| Dec 17 06:48:00 | 12m 00s | The Radar Guy | Clever idea and good use of the theme. The music and graphics create a nice atmosphere. |
| Dec 17 07:02:00 | 14m 00s | You Only Get 1UP | This game is amazing! The fist of God makes me laugh every time. The humor is great, but unlike many funny games the controls are really good too. The double jump is very cool! Well done! |
| Dec 17 07:10:00 | 8m 00s | Yogo Grenade | Cool funny game. I like the main character style and the rapid firing. The bunnies were a bit small on my screen, so I thought they were feathers or something. Including a level editor is always great. Works well on Windows 7. |
| Dec 17 07:32:00 | 22m 00s | Monad | Enjoyed playing this a lot, but I couldn't stop the "filth" from spreading! Very original idea and impressive amount of work for just 48 hours. Maybe add some indicator to sheep that show their faith without having to hover over them individually. Well done! |
| Dec 17 07:41:00 | 9m 00s | Deep Sea Mining Company | This was fun. Nice and simple but i soon learned you need to go for the more valuable metals. The different ways you can drill (one big hole, a long shallow hole etc) also adds a bit more strategy. Very good effort! |
| Dec 17 07:52:00 | 11m 00s | PotatOne | Nice game! I like the characters movement animation. Also like the theme interpretation, you only get one real potato, but plenty of fake potatoes, very funny! |
| Dec 17 08:02:00 | 10m 00s | Virtual Sniper Trials | Good fun target shooting game. Reminded me a bit of that old 8bit Sentinel game from the eighties. I seemed to have more than 1.5 seconds to shoot. |
| Dec 17 08:11:00 | 9m 00s | One Wing | That was a brilliant use of the theme, very thoughtful. First time I though there was no point trying to fly over the black angel so just walked into him -> black. Next time I actually tried to jump him, and did it. Is that a metaphor for something? |
| Dec 17 08:35:00 | 24m 00s | Santa Claws | Good fun running around throwing snowballs at elves. The environment was excellent, looking down on a snow covered town and forests from a mountain is great. I seemed to run for a while without any elves appearing so maybe a clearer route to follow would help. Overall a very good effort, kids would love this game! |
| Dec 17 08:49:00 | 14m 00s | Shades of One | This is a fun game! I love the 'pawn on a unicycle' player character. The physics were well done and made jumps just the right level of difficulty. The in game comments were clever but also accurate. |
| Dec 17 09:01:00 | 12m 00s | Purpose | Really nice graphical style. The tree growing was great. Very playable too with some cleverly designed puzzles. I enjoyed it. |
| Dec 17 10:47:00 | 1h 46m | COR | Best mood I've seen this competition. Simple but expressive graphics. Thought provoking. There is probably no more important message in life then what this game covers. You should be very proud of this. |
| Dec 17 11:05:00 | 18m 00s | Babelita | Really like the graphical style and the 'rotating' level design. The controls have a good feel and give just the right amount of control. Some sections were quite tough so as vapgames said checkpoints would be good. But then it certainly builds tension knowing you're going back to the start if you die. Oh and that is one of the best/catchiest tunes I've heard this comp. Well done! |
| Dec 17 11:17:00 | 12m 00s | Notchified Cat | Found it impossible until I accidently pressed the jump button twice and double jumped. Maybe you could mention this in your notes? <br/>"Welcome to notchified cat" got a bit annoying after the 30th time so I made another mini game to see how quickly I could press r to replay. Not a bad platformer overall. |
| Dec 17 11:34:00 | 17m 00s | Thrust Issues | Great graphic style. The controls where a bit tricky to start with but I soon made progress. No sound on my playing. I really enjoyed playing this, well done! |
| Dec 17 11:43:00 | 9m 00s | Protecto El Dorado! | This is a nice arcade style game. Good sound effects and cool graphical style. Having the one weapon and needing to grab it again after using was a good use of the theme. Very good. |
| Dec 17 11:51:00 | 8m 00s | Click Click Cat | Great isometric style graphics. Simple gameplay but fun for a quick play. Very good job for a first LD. Well done! |
| Dec 17 11:58:00 | 7m 00s | UniSwarm | Nice strategic game. The flocking units where fun to watch move in large armies to attack planets. Very clean and clear graphic style. |
| Dec 18 10:55:00 | 22h 57m | Only One Chance | A fun platformer with an excellent take on the theme. The music created a really nice mood and the graphics were well done. |
| Dec 19 11:26:00 | 24h 31m | Airlock One | Nice puzzle game. Simple to play but with more strategy than I first expected. |
| Dec 19 11:33:00 | 7m 00s | Monocraft | Very interesting idea, a bit like that "10 second" turn rpg in the last LD. I was assigned a dark water block but I could not place it anywhere. Tried placing on existing blocks, separated by itself but no luck. Has the game been locked or something? |
| Dec 19 11:42:00 | 9m 00s | Some Day | Excellent parallax scrolling backgrounds and the main character is nicely done too. I felt it was a little empty in areas but then I suppose that is exactly the point of a wasteland setting. The night/day was good too. Well done. |
| Dec 19 11:51:00 | 9m 00s | One Sky | Really original idea for a fun strategy game. Rotation mechanic is really well done and the graphics well suited. Excellent. |
| Dec 19 11:58:00 | 7m 00s | Pivotal Point | Really good effort for 12 hours. Works great in chrome, very smooth scrolling. Bullets are well done. Fun! |
| Dec 19 12:05:00 | 7m 00s | Seedscape | Original idea. It's not clear how to move to the next stage in puzzle mode. Is there some score required? Interesting game though. |
| Dec 19 12:19:00 | 14m 00s | Blight | Very smooth feeling movement and fighting. Music adds greatly to a mournful mood. Nice random level generation, well done! |
| Dec 19 12:31:00 | 12m 00s | Only One World | Really interesting idea and topical of course. I found it a bit difficult to start with but I need to play more to understand the required approach. It's good to see another strategy style game in LD. Well done! |
| Dec 20 01:11:00 | 12h 40m | FowL Play | Fun platformer. I like the way the chicken can shoot while moving in a different direction. The level design is bit tough but the nice control system helps (like floating on your wings). The music got a bit repetitive but overall this is a very good HTML based game. |
| Dec 21 15:03:00 | 37h 52m | Lumen | Great atmosphere created through excellent lighting and sound effects. It's also very fun to play thanks to responsive controls and a nice use of the theme. One of the best games I've tried this LD, well done! |
| Dec 22 14:08:00 | 23h 05m | UNDERDEEP | Very impressive game for 48 hours. I love the enemy graphics and the destructible walls. I really should try making a raycaster one day, but some of the math looks a bit funky to do in 2 days. Reminds me of Prelude of the Chambered but with a faster pace and more action game feel. Well done! |
| Dec 22 14:21:00 | 13m 00s | Surface Climber | Good effort at a platform game. The control method was responsive and easy to use and the ceiling walking fun to use. The music was a bit repetitive, but overall a nice effort. |
| Dec 22 14:29:00 | 8m 00s | One Liner | Very well done puzzle/strategy game. Quite difficult but the graphics and sound/music are professionally done. Good use of the theme also. You have made a fun game. |
| Jan 1 12:22:00 | 237h 53m | Impressive Dog | Clever use of the theme and fun gameplay. My niece would absolutely love this game! |
| Jan 1 12:34:00 | 12m 00s | Monogon | Really good puzzler. Nice graphic style. The theme usage is a great idea too. The mechanics are simple but give a lot of scope for puzzle solving, well done! |
| Jan 1 12:44:00 | 10m 00s | Code Tower | This is a really original idea and use of the theme. I've used RPN on a HP calculator previously so the mechanics were fun from the start. Well done! |
| Jan 1 12:51:00 | 7m 00s | One Spell at a Time | Good first effort at LD. I found the game a bit too difficult but reading some of the comments here helped. Well done! |
| Jan 1 12:58:00 | 7m 00s | Golf Quest | Wizard playing golf! Bizarre idea but it actually works and this is a fun game. Well done! |
| Jan 1 13:08:00 | 10m 00s | Fish Go Blub | Enjoyed the one control mechanic once I got the hang of it. The water graphics were well done, are they voronoi patterns? Good game overall. |
| Jan 2 12:02:00 | 22h 54m | 0RBITALIS | Nice game. The mechanic was well done although I felt that it was a little too "launch and hope" sometimes. Maybe a bit more control over the satellite would be be good. Your use of the theme is original and well done. |
| Jan 6 01:41:00 | 85h 39m | You only have one Explosion! | Good simple game. I found it a little hard to see the squares but I suppose that is part of the game. |
| Jan 6 01:48:00 | 7m 00s | You Only Get To Save One | I like the 3D roguelike feel of the game. The attacking felt a bit slow and I was not sure if I was actually hitting them. Still very good effort to complete this much in 48 hours. |
| Jan 6 01:55:00 | 7m 00s | One Path | Probably the most "interesting" sound effects for a game this compo. Platforming controls were a bit awkward in places but the multiple choice questions added a lot of originality. |
| Jan 6 02:05:00 | 10m 00s | hackerStation | Seems a very original idea. The 3D graphic style was very well done. The music added to the mood nicely. Was perhaps a bit too simple but overall very good. |
| Jan 6 02:17:00 | 12m 00s | Weapon of Choice | Had fun playing this game. The flamethrower was nice and the destructible terrain from grenade blasts very good. Aiming was a bit tricky when enemies were at your feet. The random weapon selection was nicely done. |
| Jan 6 02:26:00 | 9m 00s | Carry the one | Very original and fun game. A bit hard in places, I picked up NaN and couldn't get rid of it. One of the most innovative (and educational) games this LD. Well done! |
| Jan 7 01:51:00 | 23h 25m | Series of tubes | If Dwarf Fortress ever changed direction towards an action game I imagine it could be just like this ;) Simple game but fun for a while. Well done! |
| Jan 7 01:55:00 | 4m 00s | ONE SHIP | I like the flame effects on damaged ships. Seems quite tough but the hull damage level is a good idea. Well done! |
