Dec 16 01:33:00 Asphyxia Absolutely awesome. I love the graphic style together with the music and the sounds. Stuff like this is why the artstyle seems way past "retro-style" to me. Back then it was often still about trying to make it as realistic as possible, yet not having the options. Now, games like these profit immensely from the style because it leaves room for the imagination, which is probably my favorite part about games like this.
Dec 16 12:27:00 10h 54m Who ate all the pies ??? This is a really cool idea. The music and sound effects fit nicely and make for a good atmosphere. The concept is fun and innovative. It's hard to find valid questions though. One improvement that could be made is adding more variations to existing replies and making it so the game recognizes more combinations. That way you feel like you're getting somewhere even if you don't manage to win. <br/> <br/>Basically make it a bit more straight forward so you don't need to explain as much first, and you got a great game!
Dec 16 13:10:00 43m 00s One Bullet, One Chance Aha, I found it! You asked in the chat yesterday if the screenshot was making the game look interesting. It did, and I went looking for it. <br/> <br/>The artstyle is cool and everything looks exactly like you would expect it to in a western town. The characters I liked especially. The text progression seemed a little iffy, switching back and forth and sometimes misplacing the yes/no symbols. Even though I aimed at bottles and bandits properly it was also really hard to hit things for no apparent reason. If this is intended, adding a little "missed" or something like that would surely help. <br/> <br/>The dialogue fit well and the theme was followed nicely.
Dec 16 13:52:00 42m 00s Choice The look is pretty cool. Yes, it was very short. :P It is not very clear what you are supposed to do. I needed a few tries until I found it out. The atmosphere is nice and the ending was interesting. Another thing is that clicking new game always caused me to already fire my first bullet. I'm interested to see this idea continue, it has potential I think.
Dec 16 14:07:00 15m 00s UNO For your first game this is pretty good! Good thing you entered it. If you keep it up you'll improve in no time and be able to make the games you want to make.
Dec 16 14:20:00 13m 00s Flee to Light Pretty cool idea. The graphics are nice and the lighting creates a fitting mood. I liked the enemies too, they were cute and relentless. Sometimes the walls can block your view, so walls becoming transparent might be a feature you could look into should you continue this. (And I think you should, it's fun!)
Dec 16 14:30:00 10m 00s Bowerbird Quest Really cool game and a nice twist on the memory concept.
Dec 16 14:34:00 4m 00s YOU ONLY GET ONE SPACEMAN Very nice. The graphics are cool and the music and sound effects fit very well. The attached cable/tube on the space man was a nice touch. And the star field looks fantastic. Good work!
Dec 16 14:39:00 5m 00s You Only Get One Dollar! Hilarious idea, I like it! It maybe could have used a +X$ or -X$ notification when you gain or lose money. Well, in the end I lost all my money to Gaben's glory. Very realistic.
Dec 16 15:24:00 45m 00s Lost in Space Love the premise. It would be cool to see the other things you had in mind implemented. The traveling through space could be a bit shorter.
Dec 16 15:25:00 1m 00s OneShot For some reason this doesn't load for me. (Chrome). The website loads and the construct2 text gets displayed but nothing happens.
Dec 16 16:30:00 1h 05m She: A Game About Life For some reason I can't get past the title screen. Pressing space doesn't continue but makes a little "moop" noise. I'm liking the screenshots though.
Dec 16 16:35:00 5m 00s You only get one... Potato Peeler! I think this might be the best professional potato peeler simulator on the market right now. Good job.
Dec 16 16:39:00 4m 00s One upgrade in heart Nice idea with the rhythm game combat. If the hits had a bit more impact that would make it feel better I think. Nice job.
Dec 16 18:32:00 1h 53m Polytonia Music What a nice idea. I love rhythm games and this feels very nice when you pull it off. The challenge also ramps up well.
Dec 17 13:13:00 18h 41m One Take Absolutely brilliant. Highly recommended. Really good graphics, sound and an awesome idea to boot. Very interesting use of the theme.
Dec 17 16:07:00 2h 54m One Look Very nice, but very touch. Slow and methodical is the way to go no, not like me trying to run past the monsters. They will get you sooner or later that way. <br/>Good job and idea, I'll try and play it again for sure.
Dec 17 16:10:00 3m 00s One Sword Nice job, graphics are cool. Atmosphere reminds me of Dark Souls or and some comics from the 80s. Having a different graphic for hitting the maiden or the dragon would have been cool but it was still fun to slay winged horrors.
Dec 17 16:11:00 1m 00s Make Tetrominoes! Fun and interesting once you get it. (I was stumped at first :P) <br/> <br/>This would work great on mobile devices and I can see people playing this for way longer than they anticipated.
Dec 17 16:14:00 3m 00s No Way Out There was indeed no way out for me! The aesthetic is nice and the sounds were too. Having the "thoughts" rushing across the screen and the heartbeat sound stressed me out quite a bit. I got eaten every time. It maybe could have been a bit clearer what you can or should do to get a better ending because in the heat of the moment I didn't manage to think of anything else once I found out the window is barred. Also it would have been cool if you could have been able to shoot yourself at any time with your last bullet.
Dec 17 16:16:00 2m 00s Serious Surgery Very fun and a cool idea. I liked gameplay a lot. As someone else said having more gameplay elements would be cool. There is a lot of stuff you can do with the concepts. The sound and humor was also enjoyable.
Dec 17 16:17:00 1m 00s Chocolate Clicker How many chocolates can I get? Turns out: One. Therefor, this went well with the theme. Full stars for theme and humor for sure.
Dec 17 16:19:00 2m 00s You only get one pixel A nice entry that uses the theme very much literally: You get only one pixel. The idea is cool and it seems people already tried to make pictures with it. I like it.
Dec 17 16:21:00 2m 00s Vega Core Pretty tricky to control, a longer aiming bar would have been a bit better maybe. The graphics and audio is nice and when you actually manage to clear a stage it feels great.
Dec 17 16:25:00 4m 00s Make it Count Can get really tricky! The audio and graphics are great and it's really fun to play. Theme was used well I'd say.
Dec 17 16:27:00 2m 00s Javel-ein Awesome graphics and feel to it. Creates a nice atmosphere and has a good amount of content. Well done.
Dec 17 16:30:00 3m 00s Mayor's Holiday Interesting idea and concept. Depending on what island he's off to he definitely needs a gun. Or a lollipop maybe?
Dec 17 22:52:00 6h 22m Penguins Gone Mad This is pretty cool! The enemies are fun and actually have decent variety. I liked the flying ones especially, really cute. The look is charming and it definitely scores bonus points for exploding penguins. I mean... exploding penguins, come on! How can you not like that? <br/> <br/>If you want to add to the game, some more weapon pick ups would be fun. One tip about the background: Blurring it in photoshop or another editing software would take away the harsh edges and make it look further away. <br/> <br/>Good job with the game, I like it!
Dec 18 16:35:00 17h 43m One Earth Nice idea and sprites.
Dec 19 00:25:00 7h 50m SinglShot Nice look and feel you got going! Its theme mechanic are working nicely, better than expected. I love the moving starfield, it looks like it has a lot of depth. Many others have a much shallower look to them.
Dec 19 02:11:00 1h 46m Wilhelm's Escape Really fun point and click game. I tried fiddling with all the stuff I could find and died so many times. He also refused to eat the coin, noting that he isn't a piggy bank. That was amusing.
