| Dec 16 03:22:00 | Save One For The Kids | Hey, sonnybone! I just jumped in to check out your entry and I'm getting a 404 error to your website. Can you check your link? I'll check back tomorrow morning. | |
| Dec 16 03:44:00 | 22m 00s | Acorn Hunter 5000 | Cool, simple pac-man like game. I especially love the music, it's some of the best music I heard in an LD game done solo. The only gripe I have is that once the level is full of fire it gets very difficult get the last few acorns and I usually get pinned in with the dogcs in the few remaining spaces. |
| Dec 16 03:57:00 | 13m 00s | You only get 1111 | I almost got it. Missed only the E after 4 attempts. The game is quite innovated, but I had difficulty playing for two reasons. First, the "1" you play as is not lined up with the other characters on the screen (vertically it's right between two rows) so it makes it quite difficult to figure out which row I'm interacting with, and second, the player moves really fast making it difficult to get lined up with a particular row/column when navigating the maze. |
| Dec 16 04:10:00 | 13m 00s | Dat Pig Yo! | Had some difficulty it the contrast int the game, to the point that it started to hurt concentrating; though that could just be from a lack of sleep. I also had a hard time figuring out what did the poor pig in. I didn't see anything around me and then the game would end. Some audio cues would make the game a lot easier to play so that you at least know if there was something coming from behind. <br/> <br/>Also as a note, I saw you mentioned that you used a royalty free soundtrack. In the 48 hour competition you need to make your own music, you can use samples and instruments from other locations, but the actual composition needs to be yours. It was an honest first time mistake so no big deal, but keep that in mind if you compete again. That said, congratulations on completing your first game. |
| Dec 16 04:19:00 | 9m 00s | Conformance | I like the style; it really sets a good mood. The game felt a bit laggy. I wasn't sure if that was on purpose or not, but I was surprised given my computer is no slouch. |
| Dec 16 05:21:00 | 1h 02m | H P Y | The game certainly made me feel uneasy. If that's a reflection of your own life, I hope things work out. |
| Dec 16 05:36:00 | 15m 00s | You Only Get 1! | That's a great funny game! Not rating audio because of the source, but everything else is great! It's funny, innovative, and hilarious! The best score I got was a 29, but I think there is a bug. I got 11 points for stewing a strawberry. Not a big issue through. |
| Dec 16 05:52:00 | 16m 00s | Doubt | I really like the style and surreal nature of the world. I will admit I got stuck at the four doors (I downloaded the source to see if it gave any clues but didn't see anything obvious. Oh well. |
| Dec 16 06:00:00 | 8m 00s | Speck | Tells an interesting story. It felt a little odd when the game ended (it was rather sudden, and after the speck separation I didn't initially realize that's where it ends), but cool none-the-less. |
| Dec 16 06:14:00 | 14m 00s | Fishbowl | I'm a little conflicted here. I'm not sure if you were making a satirical jab at linear games and the fallacy of choice, or a legitimate game that forces you to make permanent permanent decisions. The stem of the confusion is that it is possible to get all the coins and get to all the rooms (unless there is something hidden I missed). I would have thought there would have been some sort of trade-off where it would not be possible to get everything. <br/> <br/>Toning the metaphor analysis down though you have a solid game engine and a nice art style so props for your first LD entry. |
| Dec 16 06:28:00 | 14m 00s | Spring Crate | I had to bail on the game at level 4. The single block platforming is just too hard. But despite that, this is the first game where I've played where the theme was strong. Most things I've played needed an explanation in the comments or something along those lines to understand how the game relates to the theme. |
| Dec 16 06:42:00 | 14m 00s | Cubric | I couldn't get any of the level's win conditions to trigger; however, that said I did like the puzzles and the concept a lot. I did get the game to crash on level 4, but I couldn't replicate it so I can't give to details. |
| Dec 16 06:48:00 | 6m 00s | Dangerous TGA (to go alone) | That is some catchy music, and I like the retro homage to not only Zelda but other games as well. |
| Dec 16 07:42:00 | 54m 00s | Press X to Win | Haha! Looks like a modern interpretation of Super Press Space Bar to Win (http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/495903). A cool, funny non-game, that entertains. I could put more in the review, but I think this review (of SPStW) would sum it up nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Z2Z23SAFVA&noredirect=1 <br/> <br/>P.S. <br/> <br/>The last achievement you get is pure gold. |
| Dec 16 18:37:00 | 10h 55m | You Only Get One Dollar! | Hilarious game! I ended up with about $54 dollars before the bathroom took me. I'll have to try again later to see if I can make it to $100. |
| Dec 16 18:53:00 | 16m 00s | One | Made it to Level 28 with 129 points. It took me a while to figure out the logic, but good puzzles. It looks like the level generation was random, and there was one level where it was impossible to get one of the chests (the mountains only left a one block high gap and you needed two to get through) so keep that in mind when building any future random level generators. |
| Dec 16 21:30:00 | 2h 37m | Servassacre | Really nice technical game, fun, but really, really, hard. It's too easy to fall of the edge of the map when pushing the minions, when you leave them alone as they meander off on their own, and when they attack the enemies as they will latch on and push everyone over the edge. I think making it so you can't fall off, or at least make the minions smart enough to not walk off the edge would make the game a lot more fun. |
| Dec 16 23:22:00 | 1h 52m | One Night at the Space Opera | I really dig the art style and the tone of the game greatly. Great job! |
| Dec 16 23:44:00 | 22m 00s | DISC-MAN | I like the idea, but the controls were really difficult for me (might be because I am left-handed and was a poor aim with the right hand on the mouse). Letting me jump with W would have made the controls a bit easier as well, but that might just be my personal preference. |
| Dec 17 04:16:00 | 4h 32m | Life According To Bob | Nice and heartwarming especially considering the number of you get one bullet style games. Good solid puzzles. The player's movement was a bit floaty, and as a recommendation you probably could have consolidated all the different actions to one button since you could only do one at a time, but other than that really cool. |
| Dec 17 04:33:00 | 17m 00s | One Take | This is fantastic! I can honestly say I have never played or seen a game that works like this. I think you have a good contender for a winner in this competition. |
| Dec 17 23:18:00 | 18h 45m | Get Out! | Really hard game, took me a while to get through a single maze. I think may make sense to only put a subset of the enemies into any given round instead of all at once. Congratulations on your first jam entry, glad you could complete the game! |
| Dec 17 23:33:00 | 15m 00s | You only get one COLOUR | Reminds me a lot of mighty flip champs except that you have more freedom to switch between any plane instead of having a set order. Also a nice story to go with it; I found myself narrating it in a poor english accent a la Thomas Was Alone. Cool puzzle game, though some of the levels with tiny platforms mid-shifting was really frustrating. |
| Dec 18 00:02:00 | 29m 00s | Say Cheese! | A beautiful example of doing something very simple, but poring on the polish to make it a great experience. Got it in 4 tries. Good job! |
| Dec 18 01:31:00 | 1h 29m | Gods of Baloo | Awesome game with very soothing atmosphere, but quite hard for me, my bother is much better. Really loved it. |
| Dec 18 01:48:00 | 17m 00s | Smooth Operator | Very fun; my brother just keeps beating me. I will be bringing this game up again and again in the future until I actually beat him. |
| Dec 18 02:01:00 | 13m 00s | Only One Treat? | Reminds me a lot of something like paperboy. The puns are great! |
| Dec 18 02:21:00 | 20m 00s | BULLETS ARE FATAL | Beautiful artwork, really cool game; controls are a little difficult; will try with gamepad later. |
| Dec 18 02:44:00 | 23m 00s | ONE JUMP | So much fun! Especially with two people playing simultaneously (seriously get another person to shoot for you). I'm also really happy to have check points. |
| Dec 18 03:02:00 | 18m 00s | ROOFTOP | Nice first game! Like the style and simple jazz riff for music. |
| Dec 18 03:43:00 | 41m 00s | Batteries Not Included | Well designed levels; it got very hard, but was very rewarding to complete a level. I didn't finish, but will come back later. |
| Dec 18 04:00:00 | 17m 00s | Shabby Buffet | Even though it's broken with the slippery food, it's still fun. Hope you can figure out the issue. |
| Dec 18 04:16:00 | 16m 00s | A Ronin Heart | Really nice fast paced action, really tight controls as well which is uncommon in games made in 48 hours. I really enjoyed it. |
| Dec 18 04:32:00 | 16m 00s | The One Fork Restaurant | It's a cool inverted wack-a-mole game. Nice simple, but quite fun. |
| Dec 18 04:41:00 | 9m 00s | SHIFTER | Cool story mechanic and tie in with the music makes it a really nice experience. |
| Dec 18 05:03:00 | 22m 00s | Cat Gentlemans Play: Insult Spinner 10 Cents | Very funny game. Me brother really enjoyed smacking me around. Oh and also we slapped each in the game too. |
| Dec 19 04:11:00 | 23h 08m | Batteries Not Included | Cool game, with really nice background details and actually having the robot subtly change! Did find a bug with the double jump that at one point made be jump more than two times, then later made me jump a huge amount and out of the level bounds. <br/> <br/>Also a note, the game does work on a mac; I used chrome and the unity web player and had no issues. |
| Dec 19 05:00:00 | 49m 00s | Experimental Exodus | I really like the idea of the random disabilites, but I had a lot of issues with the controls and and visual feedback. For me none of the weapons showed on the screen so half the time I went to attack an enemy I would get hit myself. As a result, I could only get a few rooms in unfortunately. |
| Dec 22 23:15:00 | 90h 15m | Direction | Nice use of theme. I found it very difficult to dodge as the red blocks move very fast and you can spawn on the side of the board where there is no way to dodge. I would also suggest a faster restart for the game by pressing "R" or space to take you right back into the game rather than the two buttons. |
| Dec 24 03:42:00 | 28h 27m | YOGO Cubes | The game was fun, felt a lot like Galcon; the atmospheric sounds were a nice touch to it. The game really felt like a race to con conquer the big squares first and get a unit advantage. The upgrades or other planned additions would have added the variety that this game needed. Despite that it was very cool. |
| Dec 24 04:11:00 | 29m 00s | One Sky | Very cool game, love the round level design. Took me a while to realize that I was actually competing with civilization for the planet. I really enjoyed it. |
| Dec 24 04:22:00 | 11m 00s | One Trick Pony | I was playing on a Windows VM in mac, the game started in the lower right corner, If I drag the game into view all the graphics move off screen and I can't see anything to play. I will try on a normal windows machine later and see if I can get it to work. |
| Dec 24 04:57:00 | 35m 00s | Code Tower | Really cool. Certainly the most innovative game I played, and probably the longest game I played. I thought with the first level the game would be easy, but then I played the other levels, and the challenge went up to the right level. I very good puzzle game, I'm glad I got to play it. |
| Dec 24 06:08:00 | 1h 11m | That's My Baby | I'm impressed with this. It's a cool defense game, and unlike anything I've seen before. The graphics and music go very will together, and the side comments from the worm and egg add a lot of character to the game. |
| Dec 24 06:15:00 | 7m 00s | Notchified Cat | Very catchy music. The premise of the game is certainly the strangest I've seen so far. Despite that, it is a serviceable platformer. The complete restart from the beginning of the game was a bit annoying considering the precision of the jumps needed, but I suppose that is the theme's fault. |
| Dec 24 06:17:00 | 2m 00s | The Labyrinth of Keys | I'm still getting a 404 error trying to download the game. |
| Jan 1 21:26:00 | 207h 09m | Bugz | Audio was really good in this. It did get a bit repetitive; would have liked to see more than one enemy type or some power ups to change up gameplay over time. Despite this, you have a solid game. |
| Jan 1 21:44:00 | 18m 00s | Dungeons of Resolve | The graphics and sound are definitely about average for an LD game, but the game-play is very awkward. Attacking is possible, but ineffective as the enemies will hit you in the process. To fix that you could either have knocked the enemies back (so that they would not hit the player on a successful attack) or make the player's attack longer range with feedback showing the attack (as it was difficult to tell if I was even attacking). |
| Jan 1 22:00:00 | 16m 00s | YOGOS - YouOnlyHaveOneShield | The power-ups were pretty cool and overall gameplay is solid, but it did unfortunately become a bit stagnant after a while. Also, I don't know if this was on purpose, but the game experienced some serious slowdown when the "deadly gyration" or whatever the power-ups name is, was activated, and I was using a pretty beefy machine. |
