Dec 16 12:41:00 Dolphin Rescue Absolutely hilarious game! You should have named it "Dolphin Kidnap"! Why, oh, why do I have to snatch those perfectly safe divers and where are the ship survivors? :D <br/> <br/>Great game, I've got a lot of fun and laugh of it!
Dec 16 12:51:00 10m 00s Torch Quest Great mood and great graphics. Too bad the game doesn't show your final score, second part of "risk/reward" kinda fades because of that and that's a shame. Nevertheless, this is one of the most fun games I've played yet, congratulations!
Dec 16 13:05:00 14m 00s Ring of Oil I just keep playing this game instead of rating the others! You are a devil! My favorite game so far, without a question! <br/> <br/>If you'd managed a text export/import feature for player designed robots, it would be a hit!
Dec 16 15:57:00 2h 52m Hamlet I couldn't wait to see the game since I've seen your progress screens. And the wait was worth it, it's as good as I hoped it will be!
Dec 16 16:29:00 32m 00s The Radar Guy I'm confused. I've spent some minutes trying to figure it out but I'm still not sure if one can play this game. Do I have anything except the button? Can I change amount of medals I get? Very moody game but very confusing too.
Dec 17 15:59:00 23h 30m The sidekicks Great idea and very cool graphics and sound effects! Too pity the game is so short and easy (especially in 2 players mode).
Dec 17 19:15:00 3h 16m Underbyte Amazingly fun! The exploding cubes mechanic is just perfect, a great find! It's just too bad sometimes they reset too soon.
Dec 18 15:50:00 20h 35m Beaver's Last Log Great art style! I was disappointed that the story is so sad and short, but now I see a screenshot from inside a house and I guess I've missed something. Will try playing some more!
Dec 19 15:33:00 23h 43m Agent One I absolutely loved the graphics, color scheme is quite good! Controls feel smooth and the game is fun, but I had problems aiming, especially with a gun. Also too bad it's so short, I hoped at least for a boss at the end.
Dec 19 15:39:00 6m 00s Nature's Howl Very graphically pleasing game, and looks like fun to play, but it gets a little boring towards the end. I would love to see some more interaction and balance in it. I could mostly just spam first units (are they rats?) and be cool with that. But considering the time you've had on it, I think it's great! One of the most beautiful and moody games I've played this time.
Dec 19 15:50:00 11m 00s One Bond I really liked the game, but I think it's that case where your self- (and theme-) imposed limit of one link is getting in front of fun and doesn't add much to the game. I believe the game could benefit from lifting that restriction, not to mention you could create really fun mechanics and puzzles using an object linked with two or more other objects at once.
Dec 19 16:15:00 25m 00s You Only Get One Cube! Pretty cool and unique approach to the gameplay and theme! You get only one cube and a million shatters! I believe it would look even cooler if the shards would react to collisions a bit more, but it's cool enough right now, especially for just 5 hours!
Dec 19 16:23:00 8m 00s Long Live the Queen Wow. First time I'm playing horror-chess. I guess you've just invented a new genre right here! <br/> <br/>Great atmosphere and great game mechanics idea, too bad it can't be done with real chess in the real world, unless you utilize dice or some other RNG.
Dec 19 16:49:00 26m 00s CROSSBORE Very fun and dynamic game! I don't think it's too hard also, by the way. It's about the right amount of difficulty for me. Wouldn't call it a casual gameplay though. <br/> <br/>I tried easy version... Nah, too easy, I'd even say boring. And I wasn't even using the arrow! Couldn't beat the boss without the arrow though. I'm not sure if it's even possible, is it?
Dec 19 17:04:00 15m 00s The Lonely Girl It looks like I've finally found the good ending, but I still didn't understand the place. It was somewhat fun although.
Dec 19 17:37:00 33m 00s Lost In Transmission Very nice twist to a well-proven mechanic. I think I've found either a bug or a strange feature which prevented me from completing one of the levels. Unfortunately I can't remember its name and I've already closed the game, but it said something about inconvenience and had two terminals to repair. Oh, wait, you have it on one of the screenshots! So the thing is: on that level I go down-left-down-up-right-down-left, repair the console, wait until I'm over the gap and facing right, at that point I press up and the robot stops going right and goes up instead (shouldn't I be able to do that?) after that I press down, go through the gap and on the bottom level and technically I still point right (or is it down? I never actually checked if you can dash down), so if I dash I have to break the block and get to the second console and fix it. But instead as I press space nothing happens and message appears saying that I don't have any other moves and I lose. <br/> <br/>I hope I didn't lost you completely and this information was somehow helpful. Good luck! <br/> <br/>P.S. That repair sound is horrible, had to mute my headphones at some point, sorry.
Dec 19 18:50:00 1h 13m Star Cannon Quite simple but quite fun, there are some bugs with collision detection, sometimes the ball kinda sticks to the surface of the block and moves along until it ends.
Dec 19 18:57:00 7m 00s Papaya Clean graphics are quite cool and look good. Jerking collision kinda ruins the experience, but overall controls and the game are very nice. I liked the humor around the theme very much! <br/> <br/>Beside the controls I can only mention windows that I had to click to dismiss among the cons, they were distracting and unpleasant sometimes.
Dec 19 19:09:00 12m 00s Love, Bullet, Minute Quite conceptual. I wonder if there's more than one ending. And I too don't think I understand what's the "minute" part about.
Dec 20 12:36:00 17h 27m ENDLESS NIGHT Very cool and very atmospheric, but insanely hard too. Or at least I don't quite get how to play it yet.
Dec 20 15:20:00 2h 44m The Colosseum Great mechanic! I didn't found stabbing any useful at all though, and slashing could win you a game even almost without moving sometimes.
Dec 20 16:11:00 51m 00s Shooting Atoms For Peace Very nice and polished game. The difficulty curve was strange indeed but otherwise it's a hit.
Dec 20 16:23:00 12m 00s The Lone Tower Fun game and a refreshing take on a genre! Controls are funny sometimes, the cannon won't move sometimes even if you move mouse (or is it a feature?).
Dec 20 16:36:00 13m 00s The Last Realm The game is very cool and I would play it till my fingers bleed, but the one single disbalance thing ruins it all. The Xenos (I thought they were space police until I read the description actually) were always flying the planet around its left side during my game. I don't know why they do it, because it's just the alien way they are or because the right player was winning all the time for me, but it means they actually help the winning player (or just right player in the first case) by destroying red fleet all the time. It makes game so much unfair in my eyes that I can't play it. If you make a more just post-compo version I would play it more with great pleasure!
Dec 20 16:48:00 12m 00s Fort Meow Idea is great! The graphics are good. But it is a little boring and too easy if you use only blue pillows.
Dec 20 17:19:00 31m 00s Loops of Fate I loved the idea, was looking forward to play this game since your first progress posts. Too bad you didn't have more time to complete it.
Dec 20 17:40:00 21m 00s Glide Great game mechanics and great game, you make good games after all. :D It needs some polish to make it a little bit frustrating and some easier maybe and it could be a hit IMO.
Dec 20 18:33:00 53m 00s YOLO, Obviously "I tried to party as long as I can and ended up married, not really the kind of party I expected." <br/> <br/>THIS!!1 <br/> <br/>Quite unique "game", I'm not sure I can call it fun, but it's interesting for sure. <br/> <br/>Just wanted to mention that you have to provide source in one way or another to comply with the compo rules.
Dec 20 18:40:00 7m 00s Landfall Sad and noble theme for a game, but a simple gameplay. Which kind of supports the theme.
Dec 20 18:45:00 5m 00s The Bubble Very fun game! I wished there were a way to speed it up a bit though. It could get a little boring if you blow the bubble to high up.
Dec 20 18:58:00 13m 00s Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game I liked the game much, but either the score you get is highly random (and depends mostly on random order in which you click people and places) or I didn't get how to play this game efficiently, and not by clicking on every thing available.
Dec 20 19:17:00 19m 00s Prototype I love the diversion in the tactics player could utilize to win. I personally liked to max fire rate and destroy enemies and hide before they could even see me!
Dec 20 19:47:00 30m 00s Medieval Combat I'm not sure if I've got a grasp on tactics of this game, but I got around 1050 kills on my first go, so I guess that makes me a junior tactician at least. :D <br/> <br/>Loved the graphics, more realistic battle sounds and some shouts and battle cries would fit IMO, but I totally understand that it's hard to stuff all the stuff into the competition's limited time.
Dec 21 08:09:00 12h 22m Junktion Insanely complicated, beautiful and polished for a limited time! It's not too obvious why you die at first indeed, and even when you figure it out the game is still pretty hard, but I loved the idea. Theme is pretty strong in it too. I still didn't manage to complete it though.
Dec 21 09:45:00 1h 36m One at a Time The concept is great! But unresponsive controls kinda ruins the fun. If you could give it more time and improve platformer mechanics a bit, it would be a great and fun game! <br/> <br/>All levels were quite easy except the last one, which was fun to understand and quite frustrating to actually complete because of hard controls.
Dec 21 09:52:00 7m 00s One chance to save your ass Quite fun game, but it's very hard to understand how high exactly the given hex is. It makes it very hard to play.
Dec 21 18:59:00 9h 07m Gods of Baloo While the concept, graphics, music and mood are great, I don't think I understood what exactly I was or why my eternal punishment was the same exact thing I seem to be doing my whole life. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the game in its almost every aspect, but I don't think I've grasped its philosophical message. <br/> <br/>I wonder about the music though. The melody sounded very, very familiar to me. Is it based on some popular track that I could have heard or is it a coincidence?
Dec 22 07:37:00 12h 38m YOGO Cookie That's one insane family! I can't get rid of feeling my mother wants to kill me! And I think they love their dog but hate me (dog hates me too!). And the guy still steals cookies from the dog. <br/> <br/>It was fun though and I thought about some strange things (like appearing rooms or insta-death on mother contact) as a strange rules in kid's mind for a game he has - steal a cookie. Schematic graphics and sound didn't help me to get into that mood at first though, I thought that my mother was the killer cookie monster with hands first few gameplays for example, and it came to me only on the third level that those little beeping sounds is probably dog's barking and not target-finding radar beeps from my mother-robot-cookie-monster as I thought at first. <br/> <br/>Anyway, as I played it more it became quite fun and not frustrating at all. <br/> <br/>One time at level 3 I was running from mom and tried to hide in my bed and she stuck in the doorway and never left it so I couldn't leave. I didn't know it was possible to hide in bed at that point though, so I wasn't disappointed.
Dec 25 15:02:00 79h 25m My Dad's the Grinch Great game! It was hard as hell at first, but when I figured out just how one should play it, it became more like memory game and less like frustrating-limited-resources kind of game. And that's where the fun begins (it gets too fast to almost too easy, so after the initial few times replayability is limited).
Dec 26 16:30:00 25h 28m Space Postal Service Quite fun and innovative game. Things actually became a bit easier when they started sending legit packs that look like a bomb, because you had to just pass everything down to scanner and sort only after that. Would be very fun with some more sorting involved, maybe more conveyor lines.
Dec 27 20:21:00 27h 51m Tough Quite challenging in its own unique way. Platformer mechanics is solid and it would be fun to play if it was bigger, right now it's fun to complete! (I didn't figure out what to do without the spoiler)
Jan 5 12:11:00 207h 50m Bowerbird Quest Cool mood and cute graphics! Given more time it could become a great atmospheric find-and-bring kind of game (if you add flying of course).
Jan 5 12:17:00 6m 00s Food Survival Collision detection is a bit off I think, but except that it's quite interesting game and surprisingly fun too! Love the perspective and graphics.
Jan 5 12:21:00 4m 00s Race The One Despite the fact it's very basic, I find the game very moody in its own unique way. I also love the theme is literally everywhere in the game, it's made of the theme entirely. Good job for 1 hour!
Jan 5 12:27:00 6m 00s Cure the infected! Quite good for a limited time, I definitely loved the idea and the gameplay, too bad the physics are glitchy sometimes and models are too basic (not bad for 48 hours though). Great entry, good job! <br/> <br/>P.S. I don't see a source link too.
