| Dec 16 04:04:00 | Happiness | That was a very interesting experience. Thank you for making that game. | |
| Dec 16 09:51:00 | 5h 47m | Wifes | I’ll make the obligatory “another game with stereotypes for hetero males” comment… Congrats for finishing, though, and for the nice old school music. |
| Dec 16 10:53:00 | 1h 02m | Monochrome | The mood and the artwork are great. I'm a bit frustrated by the slow pace, though; it almost feels like the game is lagging and I must admit it didn’t motivate me enough to play to the end. |
| Dec 16 11:19:00 | 26m 00s | Kmembert | Very well done. Simple mechanics, pleasant level design. |
| Dec 16 12:12:00 | 53m 00s | One Cigarette | My computer doesn’t have a mouse wheel. Is there a way to bind the item selection to something else in addition to the mouse wheel? |
| Dec 16 12:35:00 | 23m 00s | The One Time Dungeon | True fact: I spent more time playing this game than I spent playing Candy Crush Saga. |
| Dec 16 12:55:00 | 20m 00s | The life of Jerry, a mayfly | Nice idea; could very well be made into a proper casual game. My major issue is with the very sensitive collisions; sometimes I would die while the other insect was still at some distance. |
| Dec 16 17:04:00 | 4h 09m | Jump Chip | Great game! Well executed, great pixel art, nice level design, although a bit less original towards the end. |
| Dec 16 17:21:00 | 17m 00s | Party of One | This game is strangely addictive. 5/5 for fun. |
| Dec 16 17:23:00 | 2m 00s | You Only Get One Dollar! | The attention to detail is pleasing. You get extra stars from me for the Steam joke. |
| Dec 16 17:33:00 | 10m 00s | Choose Wisely | Nice puzzles overall, and interesting replay value. I kinda wished the jumps were a bit more "nervous"; right now they feel like the character is floating. |
| Dec 16 19:02:00 | 1h 29m | -- deleted -- | Well that was really nice. Wishing there were more levels! |
| Dec 16 22:24:00 | 3h 22m | Sludge City | Very nice overall! I like the level design and the artwork. The sound effects tend to be irritating after a while, though :) |
| Dec 17 15:25:00 | 17h 01m | Going Around | Nice escape game. The controls are pretty good, and I really liked the low-poly graphics. |
| Dec 17 15:38:00 | 13m 00s | Save Yourself | I tried this yesterday, then played it again today. It has more depth than I initially thought and I’m enjoying it a lot more. You get extra stars :-) <br/> <br/>I’m just not terribly fond of the visual effects each time I die: I’d rather see clearly how I died so that I can prepare for the next wave. |
| Dec 17 15:56:00 | 18m 00s | Dungeon Darkness | I have two gamepads but I had to I play against myself. The good news is, I won. I really like the graphics and the arcade feel; not many games get the jumps right, but this one did. |
| Dec 17 17:22:00 | 1h 26m | Love or gold | Interesting, but very hard to control because the same hand controls the player and the turrets. Also, the bullet is not very visible, it could be slightly larger I guess. |
| Dec 17 22:34:00 | 5h 12m | Mayor's Holiday | This game is clearly more fun and more interactive than Beyond: Two Souls. |
| Dec 17 22:47:00 | 13m 00s | The Gift | Nice mechanics. Could become a well balanced and challenging game with minimal additional effort. |
| Dec 18 00:30:00 | 1h 43m | Infinite Fame | Very well put together. Hard but not too punishing. One of my favourites so far. |
| Dec 18 10:59:00 | 10h 29m | Lovely Bullets | I found it a bit hard to locate enemies in 3D space due to them not having shadows, but it's still very playable and I like the clean looks. Reminded me of Antichamber somewhat. |
| Dec 18 12:48:00 | 1h 49m | Ultimate Wish | Very good game, the mechanics need to be tweaked in order to be a bit less frustrating, but the graphics are gorgeous and the level design was nice. |
| Dec 19 00:11:00 | 11h 23m | Thrust Issues | It’s really fun. But it’s very difficult. But I like the name, so that’s all right. But then again, it’s very difficult. Takes some time to learn and master. |
| Dec 20 10:05:00 | 33h 54m | 1 Minute Capsule | As I don’t have Windows I played the WebGL version and I didn’t notice any severe graphical problems. Nice game overall. |
| Dec 21 00:35:00 | 14h 30m | Lumen | Excellent game as it is, it won’t need much more polishing to become a shippable product! |
| Dec 21 10:21:00 | 9h 46m | Code Tower | I reached 1.0392591322777107e+42 before it got really boring :) It’s a nice time waster and it could become interesting with built-in challenges, such as bonuses for long sequences, reach a million in less than 5 minutes, or try to make the value 42 appear on the board… |
| Dec 21 10:31:00 | 10m 00s | You Get One: Crappy Torch | A very good idea, but the lighting implementation needs some debug/polish. Sometimes I could see two or three walls behind the one I was touching, and sometimes I couldn’t see a wall that was two meters in front of me. Graphics are nice, though, it has good potential overall. |
| Dec 22 11:31:00 | 25h 00m | Don't Deploy Your Chute | If you’re interested, I built a Linux binary you can get here: http://people.zoy.org/~sam/tmp/DontDeployYourChute.tar.gz <br/> <br/>I also added a Makefile and fixed a few include issues in the code so that you just need to type "make" to rebuild it. |
| Dec 22 11:39:00 | 8m 00s | Will You Be The 1. | Nicely done and very original. This is strangely addictive. |
| Dec 22 11:49:00 | 10m 00s | Digital Toilet World | I could not run this game because I use Linux. However, attempting to install it using Wine results in an error popup saying "Cabinet is not valid". Since "Cabinet" means "Toilet" in French, I’m still giving you stars for unintentional humour. |
| Dec 22 12:06:00 | 17m 00s | Byte's Socks | One of the most polished entries I’ve seen so far. As mentioned by others, the mechanics are sometimes a bit too punishing (socks getting dirty while jumping) and having to wait for the socks to clean themselves in the water kinda breaks the fast pace; they could be cleaned instantly. <br/> <br/>Other than that, it could really become a fully featured game, maybe with some level design improvements: I think the closest water spots should always be visible, maybe by making the screen larger, or through other visual hints. |
| Dec 23 11:53:00 | 23h 47m | Hairy Cave | Very nice graphics. Wish you had time for some more animations. I’m not fond of the physics and overall mechanics, though: low jumps, slow walking speed, moving platforms cause you to fall, only one shooting direction, slightly too close camera angle that hides enemies that can still shoot at you. But I’m pretty sure all of this can be fixed without too much effort. |
| Dec 23 15:37:00 | 3h 44m | You Are Disabled | Nice graphics, nice gameplay, challenging level design (especially in illiterate mode). <br/> <br/>But I'm uncomfortable with the message. I think I did not get it. What should I understand? I'm a privileged person. Did the game teach me anything? Compassion? If I was disabled, as several of my friends are, what should I have felt? Resignation? I'm confused. <br/> <br/>Combine that with the sexual slavery humour (crippled mode) and that's enough triggers to prevent me from recommending the game to quite a lot of people. |
| Dec 23 16:43:00 | 1h 06m | One Color | I panicked on level 35. Nice and simple game! |
| Dec 23 16:54:00 | 11m 00s | Hammer - Smash'em | Not bad at all, it could become a good game with some more complex mechanics. The controls feel a bit clunky from time to time, though. I found it a bit hard to not smash the rabbit, so I ended up smashing it too to avoid being hit; maybe you could make it run a bit faster than the monsters? |
| Dec 24 14:46:00 | 21h 52m | Space to Proceed | Nice puzzles, but the aiming and the timing are really too difficult. Not too hard to improve, I suppose? |
| Dec 24 16:26:00 | 1h 40m | Oneitis | Wow, a game for straight males. I needed more of these. |
| Dec 24 16:45:00 | 19m 00s | Super Pew-Pew | The collisions are very frustrating, sometimes the bullet is just sliding on my side but I still die. Maybe they could be made slightly more forgiving? Just one more pixel maybe? :) <br/> <br/>Apart from that, it’s nice. Fun, minimalist and addictive. |
| Dec 25 17:05:00 | 24h 20m | Mad Mandy | Rather funny. It crashed once when I wanted to burn the teddy. |
| Dec 25 17:26:00 | 21m 00s | Bacterias | Great overall. I especially enjoyed the music. The gameplay is interesting but one frustrating consequence of the close-up view was that I had to restart the whole level because I jumped too far/too low. Since movements are slow, that made me give up at the last bacteria. High ratings nonetheless. |
| Dec 25 20:18:00 | 2h 52m | THE DOOR | Can’t say I like the flashing background or the looks in general, but the level design is okay. Would have liked a few more levels, though. |
| Dec 26 13:35:00 | 17h 17m | Protecto El Dorado! | Nice graphics, nice mechanics. I like the fast pace! It feels good to play, except maybe for the slightly odd wall jumps (I'm used to Super Meat Boy allowing direction changes in mid-air). |
| Dec 26 14:30:00 | 55m 00s | Kage's Revenge | Not bad for a beginner, and the graphics are minimalist but honestly quite decent. Two things you may want to try fixing: avoid the bizarre sticky effect when touching a platform during a jump, and have white knights shoot at you only when they're facing you. |
| Dec 26 15:02:00 | 32m 00s | The Last Draw | Very, very nice overall. Cool retro graphics, and I appreciate the effort of making several maps. Despite having bullets instead of rabbits, playing this game kinda reminded me of Jump’n Bump (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_'n_Bump). As mentioned already, maybe the playing fields are a bit small, rewarding quick reactions more than strategy, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. |
| Dec 26 15:52:00 | 50m 00s | YouOnlyGetOnePath | I finished all the levels, but many of them weren't very satisfying, it felt as though I beat them by chance. This is IMHO due to the slightly buggy physics: in the first level, if you shoot diagonally, the ball is supposed to move along a triangle wave, more or less; instead of that, the horizontal component of the velocity decreases much more than the vertical one, giving this weird trajectory. Another problem is the size of the rotation steps: sometimes my ideal trajectory lies just between two clicks. <br/> <br/>Apart from that, the graphics are pretty good for a 48h entry, and the level design is challenging. Thanks for making that many levels. |
| Dec 27 09:50:00 | 17h 58m | Bursts | Definitely too hard for me (I only have a trackpoint device) but the graphics, gameplay and pace are great. There’s a Hotline Miami feel to it :) |
| Dec 27 17:17:00 | 7h 27m | Resistance Runner | Impressive amount of work in there, the graphics are quite decent (for some reason I like the ground). Movement is a bit slow for such a large map, though. |
