|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 16 17:50:00 | You Only Get One Earth | Its to Civilisation what Notch's Minicraft is to Minecraft :) <br/> <br/>It was intuitive and balanced, and the simple graphics worked really well. <br/> <br/>Couldn't play it with java 1.5 when I tried earlier; you can repackage for others perhaps? That is not against the rules. | |
| Dec 16 17:53:00 | 3m 00s | Just One Minute | I could get it to load nicely on my android browser, but couldn't work out how to get a keyboard :). Will have to return on a desktop machine... |
| Dec 16 17:57:00 | 4m 00s | Blast Miners | I had a lot if fun and can see how much more fun and captivating it would be with two players :) |
| Dec 16 18:02:00 | 5m 00s | Medieval Combat | Great to see haxe :). Worked great in the android browser too. |
| Dec 17 07:08:00 | 13h 06m | _You only get your keyboard! | 36 ships! As the button said, "try harder!" |
| Dec 17 07:12:00 | 4m 00s | Queen's Agent | Gorgeous graphics. I wish the journal showed what each person claimed. |
| Dec 17 07:18:00 | 6m 00s | Le Artilleur | I really liked this and rated it quite highly. <br/> <br/>(I found a few bugs though: you can go off the sides of the screen, and when you do and you fire the cannon ball doesn't go anywhere on-screen and sometimes you cannot find where it landed off-screen to pick it up. Also, when the ships go to the top of the screen, you can't reach them with your cannon ball?) |
| Dec 17 07:34:00 | 16m 00s | ACCELERally | Understanding what's underneath such a seemingly simple looking experience, I am really impressed :) |
| Dec 17 08:37:00 | 1h 03m | The Collector | I actually like the graphics style! <br/> <br/>I found a few glitches; it took me a while to learn that RED was good and GREEN was bad (in Europe green is good and red is bad, e.g. traffic lights). Also, you get an interesting glitch if you jump higher than the top, and its not obvious that the bottom is lethal, and you seem to be able to stick to the end of ledges, and you can somehow get half-height on a ledge so you are in it rather than on it. |
| Dec 17 08:55:00 | 18m 00s | a Pantless Man with a Clueless Plan | Gorgeous graphics :) So, is there a way to get some trousers? |
| Dec 17 09:02:00 | 7m 00s | Toy Soldiers | Clockwork Gnomes Lemmings Tribute? Took a long time to work out that flamethrower doesn't seem to hurt the santas, and I thought instinctively that the heavy lead would be like a balloon, and I couldn't work out the exit strategy. I managed to get the santas down to the bottom level, but with nowhere obvious to go. |
| Dec 17 09:43:00 | 41m 00s | Boomerang Blade | Don't think I've ever seen a four-bladed boomerang before :) Was fun trying to avoid catching the boomerang and fun trying to get them on the return rather than the outbound. |
| Dec 17 10:31:00 | 48m 00s | You only get one pixel | I liked the cat picture before you wiped it. |
| Dec 17 11:07:00 | 36m 00s | Make Tetrominoes! | Super fun! And I thought after Tetris there were no big yet small games left to be invented! Did you make the game up yourself? |
| Dec 17 11:25:00 | 18m 00s | Going Around | I really struggled to wake up that roomate, but I had fun trying. <br/> <br/>A third-person camera and arrow keys for movement would have been nice too. |
| Dec 17 11:52:00 | 27m 00s | You Only Get One Cube! | 197.4 by holding down the right key and keeping it held down :) |
| Dec 17 11:57:00 | 5m 00s | Yogo Balls | My 1st is pure luck and I'll be back later to see if anyone has beaten me :) |
| Dec 17 12:02:00 | 5m 00s | Orchid | How do you launch attacks? I've got a mac with touchpad and I'm struggling to work out what to do. |
| Dec 17 14:10:00 | 2h 08m | Castle Uno | The tutorial text was a really really good idea! <br/> <br/>A fun platform game, quite a bit more depth than most. I really enjoyed it a lot and rated it highly :) |
| Dec 18 08:44:00 | 18h 34m | Rick McSlick | Eh, cowboy boots often have high heels. <br/> <br/>I like that the boss shoots everything, even birds, giving you points :) <br/> <br/>I had to come back to the page to read the instructions; many people won't. Its a lesson I've learnt the hard way this LD, to have instructions in-game. Castle Uno http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-28/?action=preview&uid=14838 is a great example of how we all ought to put instructions in-game. |
| Dec 18 08:49:00 | 5m 00s | The Last Day of Mr Kane | Top-notch art; monochrome works really really well. I feel the theme restricted you; glad the theme wasn't last time's "10 seconds" ;) <br/> <br/>Please make more games. |
| Dec 19 19:46:00 | 34h 57m | Hatsumei Mage | Strong on theme, but any cheat-sheet on the words? It took me a while to even work out which side I was playing. The graphics are gorgeous. |
| Dec 19 19:53:00 | 7m 00s | Lumen | Gorgeous graphics, but just a tiny bit more light might have helped. Also, pivoting light, rather than just flipping between front and back. <br/> <br/>Works great on the web. |
| Dec 19 20:04:00 | 11m 00s | One Path | What would be interesting is to take all the question answers and do some collaborative filtering and work out different archetypes in post-mortem right-up. <br/> <br/>Of course, I answered fairly randomly just to mess that up if you do it. This is why on the internet you can't have nice things ;) |
| Dec 19 20:15:00 | 11m 00s | UNDERDEEP | Fantastic! I was thinking of doing a doom fan thing but couldn't wedge the theme in and you turn up with wolfenstein :) <br/> <br/>Is it software rastered like Notch's Chamber or is it 3D painted to look retro? |
| Dec 19 20:24:00 | 9m 00s | A First Impression | I'm very happy with your abstract take on the theme. <br/> <br/>I did find the game super-confusing though. |
| Dec 19 20:39:00 | 15m 00s | HellBow | Right mouse clicking is the bane of all macbook users! <br/> <br/>Would love to play it first-hand on the Occulus. <br/> <br/>A bit of random noise and subdivisions on the meshes would have turned low-poly repetitive landscape into something gorgeous; its a classic trick. |
| Dec 19 20:42:00 | 3m 00s | The Last Match | The thing with the web version is you often start off-screen. As a result, you usually just think the game isn't loading :( <br/> <br/>The light was cool graphics, the character a bit more basic. |
| Dec 19 20:49:00 | 7m 00s | Catchphrase Cowboy | I'm going to rate this 5/5 on graphics because *this* is how a story should be presented :) <br/> <br/>Captivating. At first I was underwelmed, but it quickly snuck up on me and grabbed me like a good spagetti western. |
| Dec 19 21:23:00 | 34m 00s | You only get one bullet | It'd be more immersive if the camera was 3rd person, oriented to the direction you are facing. <br/> <br/>Wish I had one belt of ammo. <br/> <br/>One really really long belt of ammo :) |
| Dec 19 21:29:00 | 6m 00s | superfrozenkittengetsonlyonesecretbottleforyou | Very very awesome artwork giving a really good atmosphere. Not being a druggy, I can only imagine what your inspiration might have been :) <br/> <br/>I think I saw a few clipping backface culling bugs, but it could also have been whatever was in those bottles I so desperately needed that caused a bit of blindness perhaps. <br/> <br/>I spent a while trying to work out just how big the town was. <br/> <br/>This is one of the few LD entries I've seen so far that you can imagine becoming a modern RPG that'd be popular with teenagers. |
| Dec 19 21:55:00 | 26m 00s | Doubt | Finally got it! Persistence pays off, and finally you spot the hints hidden in plain sight |
| Dec 19 22:01:00 | 6m 00s | 1 SWORD | Really fun little platform game; the simple graphics actually work really well. <br/> <br/>Never liked sevens. |
| Dec 19 22:05:00 | 4m 00s | "a sword game" | I managed to get the sword to land places I couldn't reach it. Nice to see Haxe getting an outing :) |
| Dec 19 22:14:00 | 9m 00s | Life: The Cynical-Hipster-Tetris Version | Quite an absorbing game, but I never worked out a single thing about how it ticks. With time I just stopped looking at the score and went for pretty patterns. <br/> <br/>I really was expecting more of a Conway's Game of Live aspect though. |
| Dec 19 22:25:00 | 11m 00s | Time Detective | Fun story, the typos and the weird choice of keys actually add to the mood. I kept expecting to come to a yes-no question and dumbly blindly type n. |
| Dec 19 22:28:00 | 3m 00s | Purpose | A very nice little adventure with a fun mechanic. The jump seemed a bit underpowered. The graphics were awesome. |
| Dec 19 22:33:00 | 5m 00s | Infinite Fame | A very strong graphics and theme, but super hard. If only it was 2x taller and 2x wider screen... |
| Dec 20 07:46:00 | 9h 13m | Justin Beiber Presents: Justin Beiber in, Justin Beiber-Ball starring Justin Beiber: Mad Swag edition | Juxtaposition msaterposition :) |
| Dec 20 07:57:00 | 11m 00s | Rude Bear Resurrection | Wow, fantastic :) <br/> <br/>The keys and softness kind of didn't feel solid enough, but it doesn't really detract from a great game! |
| Dec 20 08:20:00 | 23m 00s | TITAN SOULS | Very hard, very rewarding, a lot of walking though. Can't you add a run and jump next time? Or did I miss some keys? <br/> <br/>Anyway, small nitpick, I managed to fire the arrow off the top of the screen and it didn't come back. But I was just a restart away from having another go anyway. |
| Dec 20 11:55:00 | 3h 35m | You only get one digit! | Hmm, I should make a bot to answer these for me? |
| Dec 20 12:28:00 | 33m 00s | Bounty hunting | absolutely fantastic :) |
| Dec 20 12:38:00 | 10m 00s | Shot At Glory | Lovely little game :) I didn't find it at all easy though. Don't know how many times I died, but I kept trying again. |
| Dec 20 12:47:00 | 9m 00s | Farm Fortress | A fun little farm fortress simulator :) <br/> <br/>Do you ever get attacked? I had quite a busy little farm going, and no baddies. |
| Dec 20 14:03:00 | 1h 16m | Crew: A Futuristic Detective Game | Gorgeous pixel art. <br/> <br/>I had trouble working out who was who and which room was which; labels at all times rather than just when highlighted could have made it clearer. |
| Dec 20 14:18:00 | 15m 00s | Golf Quest | It was a bit hit and miss :) I took hundreds of shots, with no real feeling of control, but I kept aimlessly swinging. <br/> <br/>I found a glitch where if the wizard is in the bottom right corner the wizard is drawn traveling diagonally downwards. You can continue to play as normal though. |
| Dec 20 17:56:00 | 3h 38m | Public Mischief Performance | Do the real LD judges look like that? <br/> <br/>/me imagines so |
| Dec 20 18:01:00 | 5m 00s | Dangerous pursuit | Happy dad thoughts |
| Dec 20 18:12:00 | 11m 00s | Data Stains | I think it would have been more fun without the swearing and the sperm. If you'd done it with flowers, say, it'd hit a higher note. |
| Dec 20 18:22:00 | 10m 00s | SHIFTER | Looks gorgeous :) Could use a few more levels and a power ups and all kinds of building on top of it. Very nice. |
| Dec 20 18:30:00 | 8m 00s | Dreams of war | you can go a long way with the diagonal shooting and clinging to the edge. Nice art, nice music. |
| Dec 21 19:25:00 | 24h 55m | ONE POP | A very strong little game with particularly nice artwork It took me a while to realise that the fan was supposed to collect the coins and not the person. |
| Dec 21 19:32:00 | 7m 00s | Go With the Flow | The core mechanics are nice. It could be turned into a nice little game, ideal even for ipads etc. Take a look at Ri Li https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75QjI6URj6I and see how it parallels this. <br/> <br/>Lifting the one move restriction, allowing the laying of multiple pipes, making the water run immediately so the user is under time pressure to find a solution, making the water leak out of open ends, and so on could make a very nice little puzzle game, and with nice artwork could really be a polished little piece. |
| Dec 21 19:55:00 | 23m 00s | Mother Love | Really nice to see a 2D platformer drawn in 3D! <br/> <br/>As I usually think, this is yet another game that would have been more fun without the "only get one" theme trying to be jammed into it sideways. <br/> <br/>Short and sweet, but quite hard and I kept overjumping and was glad for the checkpoint. |
| Dec 21 22:35:00 | 2h 40m | Elves' Eve | An excellent little game :) After a gazillion attempts (yeah you only get one, I know) I managed to get over 8000 :) However, if you sum up my previous attempts, I was definitely still below zero. I rather enjoyed toppling the tree. <br/> <br/>The elve's animation was of course a bit rough. |
| Dec 21 22:43:00 | 8m 00s | VisiOne | A really fun concept. Damn difficult to make long jumps. If the player movement was more classic platformer feeling, and perhaps the view was more of a cone than a straight line, this would be really cool. Full of potential; a simple take on the theme that so far I haven't found another entry doing :) |
| Dec 28 23:12:00 | 168h 29m | Blight | A very nice fairly-complete-game-for-LD feeling with great AI and good levels. Lots of small stuff like arrows going through walls and things but nothing detracting from the playability of the thing; something I always seem to overlook in my own entries. |
| Dec 28 23:24:00 | 12m 00s | YOGO RocketFist | Really fun and absorbing game. It felt like using some game console thingy. Very nice graphics, even if the floor was a bit spartan. I found it hard to play and wish the bullet wouldn't keep returning to me when I killed someone. Was I missing a key or something? |
| Dec 28 23:28:00 | 4m 00s | Midnight Minigun | There is something so satisfying about the sound of the minigun firing and spinning down :) |
| Dec 28 23:33:00 | 5m 00s | Save Octavius | Really great graphics! Fun to see Haxe get an outing too. I seemed to waltz through the game though, its like almost impossible to fail? |
| Dec 28 23:40:00 | 7m 00s | A Precious Arrow | I really liked the retro graphics and total feel. <br/> <br/>I found it super difficult though. I'd really like to romp through these levels with a whole load of arrows and swords and things. As it was, I had difficulty even avoiding a frog.. |
| Dec 28 23:54:00 | 14m 00s | Princess Kingdom | The very best theme entry so far, I think! Actually amazing how, if you keep everything going, you can get just one of something to grow into something :) |
| Dec 29 21:06:00 | 21h 12m | Pete, The Petard | Lovely art, style, atmosphere and tech. I found the physics and controls difficult, but I read your post explaining how you built the game and I'm full of awe and enthusiasm for your approach. |
