|---|---|---|---|
| Apr 28 09:01:00 | Burn a Moleman | Fun take on whack-a-mole. I like that instead of clicking the moles, you use the num-pad :) | |
| Apr 28 09:59:00 | 58m 00s | Atoms - Literally beneath the surface | This has potential. Could become a smart phone hit it you polish it up :D |
| Apr 28 11:02:00 | 1h 03m | unnamed game with a mole | Very choppy framerate in web version and very basic overall, but I like the idea with the flowers :) |
| Apr 28 12:55:00 | 1h 53m | Insect War | Unfortunately very buggy, there are green lines from a bad tiling engine (presumably) that are all over the place and you can fall and jump through floors. The framerate gets very choppy in my browser, too, and these things made it physically impossible for me to fit into a passage-way so I couldn't continue in the game :( <br/> <br/>The music was nice though, and I could see some neat ideas. <br/>I'll try it again later on my stronger computer, maybe if it doesn't have the framerate issues, the collision bugs won't appear either. |
| Apr 28 14:40:00 | 1h 45m | Wriggle Worm | Simple, but fresh. |
| Apr 28 14:43:00 | 3m 00s | Shinoumi | Nice dodging game, good job on the moving terrain and the particle effects. <br/>Possible bug: in my first attempt, I started so high up, that I couldn't jump out of a gap because the top of the screen was in the way. |
| Apr 28 15:02:00 | 19m 00s | Above and Beyond | Very nice concept, it's a bit repetitive though, as it seems one emotion always fills up enough to keep the game running once you figure out how to not waste your emotions, so I died on purpose after 7-8 minutes. <br/>Very nice and relaxing music and smooth graphics. <br/>Would have been interesting to have the music change depending on your emotional status or some unique aspects to each emotion. |
| Apr 28 15:12:00 | 10m 00s | Deep Down Beneath Us | The platforming is a bit awkward. <br/>I accidentally pressed some button (debug key?) that let me fly across the map :o <br/>The background sound sets a good cave exploring/horror mood, good job here! |
| Apr 28 15:25:00 | 13m 00s | Underground Bike Simulator | Very hard. I just couldn't get past that 2nd bat no matter how many times I tried. <br/>There you see though, it's still very addictive, so I had lots of fun with it :) Well done! |
| Apr 28 15:35:00 | 10m 00s | Please Come Back | I think I had exactly the experience you were going for. <br/>Having the illusion I'd have a chance, feeling like my voice isn't audible at all, growing tired of the swimming, giving up, hoping to die quickly, but only sinking, knowing every effort is futile, waiting for a miracle. And it didn't happen :( <br/>Great job! |
| Apr 28 15:46:00 | 11m 00s | You Are a Mole! | Fun little time waster :D <br/>Well done on the presentation. <br/>Bug report: game got stuck in pause when I restarted after I died. <br/>On a minor side node, I wish the left and right keys were flipped, because for some reason it seems more intuitive to me to control the mole like a tank :o |
| Apr 28 16:47:00 | 1h 01m | Come On, Sugar ! | Whoever drinks that coffee will have an insane sugar rush :) |
| Apr 28 16:58:00 | 11m 00s | Greed for Gems | Impressive graphics :) <br/>I couldn't really get into it (darkness in an exploration game isn't really my thing), but I have a feeling that many will like this. |
| Apr 28 17:44:00 | 46m 00s | Tsunami Cruiser | Brilliant game. I love how shooting down and up works with different physics because of the water, I like how that water is in waves, and the graphics are incredibly stylish. It feels so satisfying to have the high-arching torpedoes hit :D |
| Apr 28 17:56:00 | 12m 00s | Yadig - Yet Another Digger Inspired Game | Nice idea, you have to collect time first by getting the worms, then dig down to get the jewels :D <br/>Game crashed on me though with the following error (Windows): <br/>"pygame.error: Surfaces must not be locked during blit" |
| Apr 28 17:59:00 | 3m 00s | Tile Flip | Small, but very solidly done :) |
| Apr 28 18:07:00 | 8m 00s | Pinger | Great idea, well executed and very polished :) |
| Apr 28 18:11:00 | 4m 00s | Kappa cat | Funny little game you got there ^-^ <br/>The music sounds like a cat walking on a piano :3 <br/>It's also incredibly satisfying to get a power-up :D |
| Apr 28 18:20:00 | 9m 00s | Digable Planet | Incredible that you could do this in only 48 hours :) <br/>Very challenging, perhaps using 1,2,3 and 4 as shortcuts for the buildings would be useful. |
| Apr 28 18:34:00 | 14m 00s | HEMTS 2014 | A whole game based on picking up and throwing stuff, including your dead enemies :) Well done. |
| Apr 28 18:38:00 | 4m 00s | Beneath Me | Creative idea. It's sometimes quite hard if not impossible to catch all the words though :( |
| Apr 28 18:52:00 | 14m 00s | Oligarch wars | One of my favorite games! <br/>Every level brings something new to the table and keeps things interesting and fresh. It reminds me of Papers, Please! in a really good way. |
| Apr 28 19:46:00 | 54m 00s | GroundBreaker | Wow, pretty well done for such a short time :o <br/>Had a lot of fun exploring this world, the controls feel very natural to me. |
| Apr 28 19:56:00 | 10m 00s | Holy Moly | Simple but effective idea. Would be cool if there were more things added with each level besides more worms :) <br/>I liked the idea with the boot (although it's very gruesome :P) <br/>The game seems to suffer from a memory leak or something in Firefox, as it slows down beyond playability after a while. <br/>In Chrome it works fine though. |
| Apr 28 20:16:00 | 20m 00s | The Sea Has No Claim | Looked for dukope's entry, was not disappointed. |
| Apr 28 20:27:00 | 11m 00s | It Came From The Sewer | While it's a great idea that I had a lot of fun with, it comes down to finding the right path and then spamming the aliens as fast as possible until you win. <br/>Loads of potential in this game though, really good work! <br/>The graphics and especially the music are amazing, too :) |
| Apr 28 20:32:00 | 5m 00s | I am a Mole | Totally not what I expected, but I left with a smile :) |
| Apr 28 20:40:00 | 8m 00s | GetOut | I can't play it :( <br/>The cmd window opens and then nothing happens. It doesn't even write anything there. |
| Apr 28 20:55:00 | 15m 00s | Drowning in Problems | Simple but effective. |
| Apr 28 21:12:00 | 17m 00s | Mole Wars | This has potential. The fighting seems to be impossible as you take damage while the enemy attacks you. Perhaps add some knockback? <br/>I like your idea of customizing the controls during regular play. |
| Apr 28 21:20:00 | 8m 00s | Captain John's Buried Treasures | Cool game, feels good to break everything with bombs :D <br/>The music makes me want to move ^-^ <br/>Unfortunately it crashes on Windows 8 due to that nasty Game Maker sound glitch. Also I'd recommend to put the file into a ZIP rather than making it a raw EXE download because antivirus programs typically don't like that. |
| Apr 28 21:25:00 | 5m 00s | Clobsters | Animation is great, very fluent, but it's also very confusing to get into. <br/>Too bad I don't have anyone to try it out with me :( |
| Apr 28 21:50:00 | 25m 00s | Mine Story | Very well done! Stacking up on upgrades made me feel so empowered :) |
| Apr 28 21:55:00 | 5m 00s | Mole Position | Very slow on Firefox, very fast in Chrome :o <br/>Also it's easy to get stuck in walls. <br/> <br/>I see a lot of potential though :) If you fix up the controls and those frame rate problems, it could be great. <br/>The graphics are very pretty too! |
| Apr 28 22:15:00 | 20m 00s | The Mole People | Cool idea there :) <br/>Very hectic, and each of the task is different. <br/>Does get a bit repetitive after a while though because it's always the same task. <br/>Btw, you can cheat with a nasty bug: if you go to the temperature and get it into the green area, and then out again, the meltdown timer will restart, so you could play forever by just pressing up and down and occasionally recharging :D |
| Apr 29 07:48:00 | 9h 33m | Totems | It didn't work in Firefox, but in Chrome it did. <br/>I like the concept, although it was very hard to hear some of the pieces. Then again, I've never played music by hearing so that may be why it's was hard. |
| Apr 29 18:44:00 | 10h 56m | 29 Leagues | Enjoyed this a great deal :) <br/>The music is so calming, I could just have it running in the background while doing other things, and I like the polygonish look of the graphics. I also liked the idea of having two phases, where the first one helps to extend your life. |
| Apr 29 18:57:00 | 13m 00s | Losing it | Very impressive look, too bad it has no sound. <br/>I really enjoyed that the stealth was all about "listening" to the footsteps and then being quick with your movements. <br/>The ending was funny and made me feel a bit bad ^-^ |
| Apr 29 20:02:00 | 1h 05m | Beneath The Lab | Cool concept, I got stuck on the third level though. <br/>I think the cooldown for the right click is a bit too long, that makes it frustrating quickly. <br/>There is potential with this though, maybe you keep up the work on it after the compo :) |
| Apr 29 22:22:00 | 2h 20m | Doug Diggz | Cool idea, I enjoyed it, but it seems impossible to get the requested 100 coins :o <br/>Loved the music :) |
| Apr 29 22:38:00 | 16m 00s | Esc | Wow. An incredibly powerful message. This really leaves me thinking, and that's a good thing to achieve. Good luck to whoever inspired you to make this game. |
| Apr 29 22:42:00 | 4m 00s | Submarine of semi-Destiny | Nice and simple game, well done :) |
| Apr 29 22:45:00 | 3m 00s | DeepUnder | The mechanic is very interesting, but it's buggy. I got stuck because a door teleported me into a rock :( <br/>Feels a bit like portal, without the complicated part of creating portals :) |
| Apr 29 22:50:00 | 5m 00s | Beneath the Core | Maybe I missed something but if you just press down the drill goes down and you win eventually :o <br/>It has potential though, I can see the heating mechanic explored for more fun :) |
| Apr 29 23:00:00 | 10m 00s | Dark Moles! | Very hard, but a cool idea :) Whack-the-Mole, I have played a million times, but Bomb-The-Mole is new :) |
| Apr 29 23:03:00 | 3m 00s | Whack-A-Burster | Whack-A-Mole :) <br/>The game seems to have gotten stuck after a while, because nothing new happened. |
| Apr 29 23:08:00 | 5m 00s | Beneath this cool, calm exterior | BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BAAH :D <br/>I was only waiting for a game using a-capella music :3 <br/>Twin-stick shooting mechanic felt very good too, first time I played a keyboard-twin-stick-shooter. <br/>Loved the little messages. |
| Apr 29 23:14:00 | 6m 00s | StromnetZ | Very cool concept, loved it! <br/>Good job on the tutorial, and it's nice that there are side-goals if you seek a challenge, or you can just connect the pipes for winning if you're not that good yet :) |
| Apr 29 23:24:00 | 10m 00s | No Eyes Willy | Reminds me of Mario & Wario :) <br/>It's a bit on the repetitive side though, but cute graphics :) |
| Apr 29 23:26:00 | 2m 00s | Zits! | Amazing photorealistic graphics! |
| Apr 29 23:32:00 | 6m 00s | Scavenger | Cool first game :) <br/>It's a bit on the hard side when it comes to the low-ceiling jumps in the beginning, but once I figured out how to optimally get through the level it was fun. It has potential, maybe you'll work on it some more after the compo! |
| Apr 30 07:32:00 | 8h 00m | pixel bat attack | It's really cool to see young people get into programming this early :D Good luck on your way! |
| Apr 30 07:36:00 | 4m 00s | the vole beneath | Quite a cool idea! <br/>It seems to only have a single level, right? <br/>It is also a bit hard to get the bumps to be smooth enough for the nut to roll over, but I enjoyed solving that little challenge. Well done :) |
| Apr 30 16:46:00 | 9h 10m | Tetrix Zone | Interesting idea, unfortunately a bug lets you just climb up the wall to the cup by pressing left and jumping so there's not much challenge to this game :( <br/>I tried to play one game fair though, and that was more fun :) |
| Apr 30 16:48:00 | 2m 00s | dig up the treasure | Unfortunately the game doesn't start for me :( <br/>It gets stuck after the command line window pops up. |
| Apr 30 16:51:00 | 3m 00s | Whack-a-Meme | It runs way too fast on my computer :( |
| Apr 30 16:55:00 | 4m 00s | FedIt! | Very hard, but cool idea :) |
| Apr 30 17:00:00 | 5m 00s | Haunted Mine | Your description sounds cool and you did a good job on the graphics :) <br/>Too bad you can't do much in it yet :( |
| Apr 30 17:11:00 | 11m 00s | Sprout | Very cute art :) <br/>Unfortunately it's not very fun to play, because it gets repetitive quite fast and there is never a sense of danger or urgency. <br/>But I like the concept, something cool could sprout from this :) |
| Apr 30 17:19:00 | 8m 00s | Inside Look Activity Book | This is a book I wouldn't read to my kids ._. <br/>At least not unless they really deserve it :) |
| Apr 30 17:26:00 | 7m 00s | The Colors Beneath the Surface | Nice idea, but it doesn't feel very satisfying to destroy those disks :) Some sound effects would have been nice. <br/>Or perhaps multiple disks coming down at once. <br/>Something cool can come out of this though, it's a good start :) |
| Apr 30 17:34:00 | 8m 00s | Super Miner 2000 | Seems pretty standard at first, but I like that you have to go down first and then up again. Also it's interesting that the powerups seem to actually be bad for you, because they get rid of all your speed powerups :o <br/>I like the cooldown mechanic for the bullets, it makes the player be more careful. |
| Apr 30 18:04:00 | 30m 00s | Mermaid Scientist Massacre | Pretty fun game :) <br/>It's cool how the mermaid has the spirit to escape despite her really disadvantageous situation. I let the anger flow through me ^-^ |
| Apr 30 20:34:00 | 2h 30m | Moon Mole Massacre | Probably the cutest take on Whack-A-Mole I have ever seen ^-^ <br/>It's like bubble wrap :3:3:3 <br/>Loved the music. |
| May 2 14:55:00 | 42h 21m | Lumbricidae | Incredibly addicting, and very fun. I kept dying and tried again and again. The controls are a bit frustrating, but I have a feeling they should be like they are. <br/>Well done :) |
| May 4 08:54:00 | 41h 59m | Chacket Valleyparker: DRILL BUNNY | Starts out really great, I like the mechanics. Getting a carrot feels really satisfying, and I like that you can drill through the rocks and the lava at the cost of overheating, although once these simple rules are figured out the game loses all of its challenge. <br/> <br/>But considering the time constraints, you've put together a cool prototype of what could be an addictive game eventually :) |
