|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 16 04:03:00 | Do not miss! | Fun little game, I liked how the second level was a bit puzzle-y, although it took me a little bit to realize the villagers weren't actually enemies. | |
| Dec 16 04:09:00 | 6m 00s | Bursts | A fun little romp, and pretty challenging. The music is actually quite cheery and I like the boxes for the graphics, it works. The quickness of the gameplay keeps you engaged and makes for a fun playtime. |
| Dec 16 04:14:00 | 5m 00s | Monad | An interesting concept, and I'm impressed at how far you got into making a god-game in 48 hours! A decent bit of fun, too - a very solid showing. |
| Dec 16 04:28:00 | 14m 00s | Dungeon Run | As a huge fan of the original Rogue and Nethack, this game definitely had the nostalgia factor going on. A solid roguelike and an enjoyable old-school experience! |
| Dec 16 04:36:00 | 8m 00s | Diner Devil! | Great graphics, a little hard to control and a lot to remember, but I guess that IS sort of the point of the game. Still, very solid! I could see this being expanded quite easily. |
| Dec 16 04:42:00 | 6m 00s | Prototype | Not a bad attempt, but definitely feels unpolished (not that that's a bad thing - you only had 48 hours, after all). Man, these diamond-things are unfair - they get these crazy lasers and you only have this little...whatever your gun is. I think this isn't a bad concept, it just needs a lot more work - as you said, a bit overambitious. |
| Dec 16 04:56:00 | 14m 00s | Out | Mood was great, story was interesting, and I really like the minimalist art style, but MAN was it HARD. Thank God there weren't lives in this game because that poor guy died over and over and over and over. His hitbox is just...weird and it threw me off quite a bit. Solid showing though. |
| Dec 16 05:03:00 | 7m 00s | You Only Get 1UP | Love the graphics, love the music, LOVE the twist of classic Mario gameplay, and the humor works. Challenging, but keeps you coming back for more! My favorite game I've rated so far! |
| Dec 16 05:12:00 | 9m 00s | One Life For Dead | Not a bad game, pretty simple shoot-em'-up. Top-down pixel art makes for a weird point of view, but not terrible. I also thought that maybe the zombies had too much health, but that's a bit of a nit-pick. |
| Dec 16 05:21:00 | 9m 00s | The One Ring | Fun concept, good music, good graphics. This was a good one! |
| Dec 16 05:27:00 | 6m 00s | Necronomnomnomicon | The controls are annoying, but this is a really creative idea, a funny premise, and great art, along with a solid soundtrack. Definitely an excellent showing! I'd like to see this expanded on! |
| Dec 16 05:35:00 | 8m 00s | Speck | I felt like you did get across a sense of isolation, so if that's what you were going for you definitely succeeded. That said, a game about isolation feels a bit...empty. |
| Dec 16 05:39:00 | 4m 00s | Unibrow | Cool mechanic, and great job for the time limit! Would love to see this expanded on! |
| Dec 16 05:46:00 | 7m 00s | You Only Get One Nap | Cool concept, nice graphics, and pretty fun. Hard, though. This guy must be REALLY tired. |
| Dec 16 05:50:00 | 4m 00s | A Cat and a Jetpack | Funny game, loved the choice of music and the theme. A great showing! |
| Dec 16 06:00:00 | 10m 00s | Cat Gentlemans Play: Insult Spinner 10 Cents | Any game with gentleman cats and duck ladies gets five stars from me. I love that it's multiplayer too, well done! |
| Dec 16 06:04:00 | 4m 00s | No double jump :( | Somewhat misleading title, but a very interesting gameplay gimmick! Creative and pretty fun to boot! |
| Dec 16 06:11:00 | 7m 00s | My Old Kentucky Home | Good story, gets across the feeling of isolation well, and you make good use of the Twine medium (hit him again and again). The songs are also amazing! Great job overall! |
| Dec 16 06:15:00 | 4m 00s | One Life | A solid piece piece overall, but I felt like I could have used a bit more build-up. Going straight from being a little kid to disappointment over over-priced Mexican food to having to make a life-changing decision was a bit jarring. That said, it was well-written, and for the time frame, I thought it was a good showing. |
| Dec 16 06:21:00 | 6m 00s | One Minute To War | An interesting concept and cool visuals (sort of remind me of "Papers, please"). The gameplay is a bit stale, but overall, not a bad effort. |
| Dec 16 06:32:00 | 11m 00s | GRAIL | Great graphics and interesting gameplay, if rather difficult. Excellent implementation of the theme! I can't tell you how unnerving it is to walk towards a pit having to trust that my character will jump for me. Fun stuff! |
| Dec 16 06:37:00 | 5m 00s | One man, one shot | Gameplay is a little shaky, but the graphics and music are top-notch. Would love to see a more fleshed out game in this style, for sure! |
| Dec 16 17:12:00 | 10h 35m | Drain | Sweet aesthetics and an interesting premise! |
| Dec 16 17:18:00 | 6m 00s | Diamond Warning | Despite the simplicity, I liked the graphics, especially the way your bullets fire out in this wavering cascade - it's cool. Solid gameplay too! |
| Dec 16 17:24:00 | 6m 00s | You Only Get One Shot: Eminem Rapping Simulator | Pretty funny, and the graphics cross the threshold of 'so bad they're good' for sure. I would have liked the game to play faster, and for the sounds to change more often, but for a jam game, it works! |
| Dec 16 17:27:00 | 3m 00s | Pilot's Last Stand | Great sound and graphics, controls were a little difficult, but it was fun! |
| Dec 16 17:31:00 | 4m 00s | The 9th Life | Fun concept and good graphics but how the heck are you supposed to beat jetpack dogs? I couldn't quite jump high enough and they kept killing my cat. |
| Dec 16 17:39:00 | 8m 00s | Time Detective | Avast! is detecting this as Malware and refusing to run it, sorry man! |
| Dec 16 17:45:00 | 6m 00s | You Only Get One Dollar! | Funny stuff! |
| Dec 16 17:51:00 | 6m 00s | My First Day at the Snowman Kit Factory! | Good concept, nice graphics, and an excellent simulation of being QA for a conveyor belt. Unfortunately, the main difficulty for that job is fighting boredom, which is probably the least useful enemy for a game. |
| Dec 16 18:00:00 | 9m 00s | You Only Get To Save One | Controls were freaky, and the zombie just pile on you! The decision of who to save has pretty much no narrative weight, coming so soon and with essentially no context. Still, for 10% of what you were going for it's not bad. |
| Dec 16 18:12:00 | 12m 00s | City of Death | Sweet game, man! Love the atmosphere you've created, and it manages to really give you that 'Oh shit zombies are chasing me!' feeling. Excellent! |
| Dec 16 18:19:00 | 7m 00s | Refuge | An interesting story. Could have used more build up and a clearer way to navigate the wherever they were, but a good attempt. For how short it was, the dialog conveyed a lot. |
| Dec 16 18:25:00 | 6m 00s | You Only Get One Life to Live | You know, at first I thought I was making friends with the other squares, but after a while of them pushing me away and me wearing down their defenses I felt more like a cult leader than a friendly guy, Still, makes you think. |
| Dec 16 18:30:00 | 5m 00s | Singular | Interesting story and the mechanics are interesting, if rather trial-and-error. |
| Dec 16 18:34:00 | 4m 00s | Redneck Safari | Amazing! AMERICA SALUTES YOU, SIR |
| Dec 16 18:46:00 | 12m 00s | You Only Get 1 | Weird, but a super clever premise, and some of the questions were really interesting. Cool idea, bro! |
| Dec 16 18:50:00 | 4m 00s | Casual Friday | Choosing jump height down is kind of a problem, and I have NO idea what the heck you were going for with the visuals and the concept and everything, but it was still kind of fun to beat suited men to death with a key, so you have that going for you. Could have used a crazy fast techno loop soundtrack. |
| Dec 16 18:54:00 | 4m 00s | UniFlagellete | Waited for quite a while after clicking survival and it just wasn't loading, sorry man. |
| Dec 16 19:02:00 | 8m 00s | Mikes toy | Fun game, good use of the theme and puzzle platformer mechanics, loads really slow for what it is though. |
| Dec 16 19:15:00 | 13m 00s | Can you hear me? | Cool concept (I'm actually working on a game with the same "hearing only" premise myself!) but it's not working for me in Firefox. |
| Dec 16 19:20:00 | 5m 00s | Epic bird fight | Controls are kind of crazy, but I loved all the bird designs! |
| Dec 16 19:25:00 | 5m 00s | Mr.Rect | I'm getting a 'this computer can't run this because zlib.dll is missing'. I'm running Windows 7. |
| Dec 16 19:30:00 | 5m 00s | Pizza Delivery Hero | Graphics are fun, music is cheery, gameplay is pretty typical endless runner fare, but works. I had fun boosting off the fire hydrants! Solid showing! |
| Dec 16 19:33:00 | 3m 00s | One shot, One opportunity. | Solid gameplay, felt smooth. Not the most original implementation of the theme, but it worked and provided a pretty fun time! |
| Dec 16 19:46:00 | 13m 00s | Only One World | Interesting game, and I feel like it could definitely be worth expanding! Thought the mechanics worked well and the visuals were cool. But my favorite part was the soundtrack - it totally captured the theme for me. Great job! |
| Dec 16 19:52:00 | 6m 00s | Leapof-8 | Nice graphics and I found the little death messages quite funny. The game's not very 'deep' (if you'll pardon my pun) but it's a good time while it lasts! |
| Dec 16 20:02:00 | 10m 00s | Gods of Baloo | Great graphics, good atmosphere, and an interesting story. Controls took some getting used to, but I imagine that's a large part of the intended challenge of the game. |
| Dec 16 20:07:00 | 5m 00s | Dat Pig Yo! | Loved the graphics, music, and the quirky concept! |
| Dec 16 20:11:00 | 4m 00s | [OBVIOUS] | Liked the music, but I was a bit (see what I did there?) unclear on exactly what to do. Still, a solid showing! |
| Dec 16 20:14:00 | 3m 00s | One Soul | Cool premise and great graphics! Short, but sweet! |
| Dec 16 20:16:00 | 2m 00s | One Hour, One Shot, One Way Out? | Interesting, but suffers from a lot of trial and error due to not that many actions being supported and there not really being a guide for which to take. |
| Dec 16 20:26:00 | 10m 00s | You only get one COLOUR | Excellent and innovative mechanic and the story parts were solid too! Would love to see this expanded on! |
| Dec 16 20:35:00 | 9m 00s | You can become only one!!1 | Cool concept and fun gameplay! |
| Dec 16 20:41:00 | 6m 00s | The Last Promise | Story was intriguing and DAMN those graphics! Not to mention the mood, the way the text was displayed...it's amazing! Sure, all you do is walk, but when everything is like THAT it's all you need to do. Excellent! |
| Dec 16 20:53:00 | 12m 00s | NUCLEAR | Atmospheric, although I think it's way too dark. Good choices for music and sound! |
| Dec 16 20:59:00 | 6m 00s | Loops of Fate | Cool concept, although I felt like the 'hit box' for the loops was a bit small. Still, pretty fun and creative! |
| Dec 16 21:30:00 | 31m 00s | Free Sample Sim | Funny, and the memory gameplay works well! |
| Dec 16 21:36:00 | 6m 00s | Wraith | Decently scary, and I love the music! Great job! |
| Dec 16 21:38:00 | 2m 00s | A Little Bit of Everything | Weird, but sort interesting! |
| Dec 16 21:44:00 | 6m 00s | The Only Journey | Loved the song. Pretty weird, though. |
| Dec 16 21:46:00 | 2m 00s | You Only Have One Pair of Underwear! | Funny, I like it! |
| Dec 17 01:14:00 | 3h 28m | Science Ship Cleomedes | Fun game, nice combo of music and graphics. Difficult, but interesting! |
| Dec 17 01:16:00 | 2m 00s | Put A Word On It | Funny and great music! Short, but hey, you made it in 48 hours! |
| Dec 17 01:44:00 | 28m 00s | The Day the Laughter Stopped | Powerful use of the interactive fiction medium. Excellent. I think this is a great way to talk about a subject like this. |
| Dec 17 01:56:00 | 12m 00s | The Click Of Destiny | That was...weird. Interesting...but weird. |
| Dec 17 02:08:00 | 12m 00s | Shades of One | Good music, and I like the message. Physics and jumping managed to be entertaining too. One thing I will say though is that theme repetition isn't entirely due to the same people making it - it's also because of things like cost (why you see so many indie pixel art games) and just the difficulty of making a game that pushes people towards a "safe" genre game instead of an art game - often, it's just too much to risk what could be months of years of work for the sake of art. That said, yeah, diversity would help. |
| Dec 17 02:16:00 | 8m 00s | YOLO, Obviously | I was going to be disappointed in your reductionist views of utilitarianism, but then I realized you were actually talking about utAlitarians. And I think we can all agree, those guys suck. <br/> <br/>That said, the dialog was pretty funny, and you DO say up front that it represents your views, so I can't really fault you there. |
| Dec 17 02:33:00 | 17m 00s | One Video Game | Funny stuff, great ending! Liked the video format. |
| Dec 17 02:48:00 | 15m 00s | Air | Good music and funny opening text! |
| Dec 17 03:16:00 | 28m 00s | Like a Boss | The boss fights were pretty creative, fun stuff! |
| Dec 17 03:30:00 | 14m 00s | The Vigilante: Single Shot Justice | Great art, good music, and an excellently told and compelling story. Bravo! |
| Dec 17 17:56:00 | 14h 26m | Monoskill | Impressive variety of skills and fun, frantic gameplay! Great job! |
| Dec 17 18:00:00 | 4m 00s | Me and My Box | Sweet visuals. Gameplay is short, but it's obvious you intended more, which is fine. Animations are also quite well done, so kudos there. |
| Dec 17 18:06:00 | 6m 00s | Spell | Solid gameplay and an impressive amount of cards! |
| Dec 17 18:11:00 | 5m 00s | This world is broken | Cool graphics and the mechanic and its use is quite clever! |
| Dec 17 18:13:00 | 2m 00s | Smooth Operator | Plays very cleanly, the graphics and audio are great too! Sweet game! |
| Dec 17 18:21:00 | 8m 00s | The Hotdog Parable | The controls took some time to discover, but the game is pretty decent and the art is great! |
| Dec 17 18:25:00 | 4m 00s | The Witch's Weak Point | Beautiful art, great soundtrack, and interesting gameplay - the full package! I can't get over how polished this game looks and feels! |
| Dec 17 21:13:00 | 2h 48m | One Last Hack | Funny music and interesting gameplay! |
| Dec 17 21:21:00 | 8m 00s | One Conversation | Fun little game with a nice message! |
| Dec 17 21:22:00 | 1m 00s | You only get one chance to save the world so don't screw it up | Funny idea! |
| Dec 17 21:30:00 | 8m 00s | Medieval Fantasy Island | Well you definitely succeed in making a beautiful game that I'm impressed you did in the time! Combat's a bit stale but the little touches like auto-run are great and really, this is quite an impressive endeavor! I can only imagine what something you guys work on for a while must be like and I'd love to see more! |
| Dec 17 21:36:00 | 6m 00s | Out | Causes a CATastrphic meltdown to your browser, but worth it. |
| Dec 17 21:40:00 | 4m 00s | One Outcome (is all you get) | Interesting, really conveys a good sense of mood! |
| Dec 17 21:44:00 | 4m 00s | At The Count Of 3, Baby, I Hope I Disappear | Confusing, but intriguing at the same time. had no idea what to do, but I liked the multiple angles mechanic and think it could be a lot of fun if expanded on. |
| Dec 17 21:48:00 | 4m 00s | Leap of Faith | Pretty sweet overall, although the jumps are hard to control and the text looked bad. Still, the overall visual presentation and audio was good and it was fun! |
| Dec 17 21:58:00 | 10m 00s | An Ashwick Winter | Felt like there was too much "hang time" of nothing in between each decision. The music is good and the art is passable. The font chosen is kind of hard to read, and I would have liked a bit more emotional context for making the decisions - I don't know anything about the son, the daughter, the wife, etc. <br/> <br/>That said, it's a solid start! |
| Dec 18 02:49:00 | 4h 51m | One Minute Rogue | Great music, fun little game! |
| Dec 18 03:05:00 | 16m 00s | Ultimate Wish | Amazing graphics and interesting gameplay mechanics! A truly awesome job! |
| Dec 18 18:35:00 | 15h 30m | OP is OP | Awesome music, but the physics system is really annoying and makes things that seem like they should be simple become extremely frustrating. |
| Dec 18 18:41:00 | 6m 00s | You only get one! (match) | Well-done in terms of art and music, really captures that arcade-charm! |
| Dec 18 18:45:00 | 4m 00s | One way out | Cool looking, and I guess you were going for "only one life"? But it was really unclear what to do after that, other than fly around pointlessly. |
| Dec 18 19:00:00 | 15m 00s | One Douchebag | Funny stuff. |
| Dec 18 19:04:00 | 4m 00s | Moments of Paranoia | Cool concept and good atmosphere, but the text moved maddeningly slowly. Good job overall, though! |
| Dec 18 19:09:00 | 5m 00s | The Great Quest of Internship | Cool concept and generally well-executed. If you plan on submitting this as it stands in English, you've got several grammar errors which, while not too bad, do detract from the professional feel of it if you intend to use this as a CV - I'd recommend having a native speaker read through it. Just some friendly advice! |
| Dec 18 19:13:00 | 4m 00s | You Only Get 1! | Funny concept and fun execution! Loved the music! Great job! |
| Dec 18 19:43:00 | 30m 00s | VisiOne | Very interesting idea, and pretty fun to play! Good job! |
| Dec 18 19:45:00 | 2m 00s | APOKEALYPSE | Interesting idea, and pretty fun! |
| Dec 18 21:00:00 | 1h 15m | Lumen | Astounding visuals and audio, super innovative mechanic, and amazing overall feel. Excellent job! |
| Dec 18 21:15:00 | 15m 00s | Starbeard: The Curse of the Space Whales | Fun mechanic and definitely felt very pirate-y. Great job! |
| Dec 19 22:06:00 | 24h 51m | An ordinary story about death | Well-told, although I thought that some of the choices were unclear and the medium of the interactive narrative could have been utilized better. That said, it's a powerful tale and you really get the sense of emotion from it. The song was a very nice touch too. Overall, very well done, and thanks for sharing this with us. |
| Dec 20 02:02:00 | 3h 56m | Dragon Child | An interesting minimalist narrative. I felt the constant jumps between pages made for a sort of disjointed feel to the whole story, which added to the mystery, but it didn't give me a whole lot of context with which to make the choices, and as such I felt like they lacked some of the narrative weight they could have had. Still, an interesting piece that I could definitely see being expanded. |
| Dec 21 17:43:00 | 39h 41m | Wilhelm's Escape | Amazing visuals, great atmosphere, and fun gameplay! Excellent job! |
