| Apr 28 19:44:00 | Please Come Back | My finger and mouse are tired now, but it was worth it, I saved him. You've done a good work in exposing frustration and losing hope, I was about to give up and abandon the surface when the message (and boat) appeared. <br/> <br/>But I died horribly the first time without a mouse, just pressing up. It was impossible :( Nice game! | |
| Apr 28 19:56:00 | 12m 00s | Shinoumi | Nice job, I liked the visuals particle effects, sprites and colors overall, although my player started too high and color didn't help to find him :P <br/> <br/>By the way, the player sometimes gets stuck with his arms in the air. Which looks like a bug, but it would also seem to be screaming or something, haha <br/> <br/>The moving platforms and procedural map are great. It may get you stuck for a while until a path is available, but it helps the mood of survival. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 28 20:15:00 | 19m 00s | The Cube | Hey, we picked the same name for the game :P <br/> <br/>Your cube is interesting, but it got a little confusing when I entered it and there was no light at all. <br/> <br/>After retrying I thought it was some kind of puzzle with the paintings on the wall, but it feels like there is only two options on each floor. Maybe a little more of explanation would be useful, and some sound too, but that costs time, I know. Well, maybe there is audio, but it didnt work for me somehow. <br/> <br/>By the way, good work with the visuals outside. Even with those inside the cube, because it got a bit claustrophobic, which helps the mood and theme. It must be hard to create good 3D visuals in so few time. Nice job! <br/> <br/>(.py files... I miss Python a lot) |
| Apr 28 21:09:00 | 54m 00s | The Creature Beneath | Good visuals and nice music, although it changes abruptly between every room, affecting it a little. <br/> <br/>By the way, I am really pleased to find a puzzle like the second one (cat face) nowadays... Well, even a puzzle is a rare thing in games these days. This one reminds me of Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and that is damn good. <br/> <br/>There is only one thing I didnt like. The first room is too hard to be the beginning. Everything kills (even the door) and it is easy to fall. <br/> <br/>Besides that, it is a nice game. Keep up the good work! |
| Apr 28 21:21:00 | 12m 00s | Ben Eath: The Surf Ace | Great game and absurdly funny. It has the weirdest music ever, and I even accidentally learned about Bechdel Test :D |
| Apr 28 21:33:00 | 12m 00s | Balancitos | Awesome graphics, excellent sound ("Qué bueno", ¡y tanto!), and the whole game works really well. <br/> <br/>Sometimes, it's better a short but polished game :D |
| Apr 28 21:47:00 | 14m 00s | Underneath Your Skin | Ok, who needs feet anyway? They are way too far to get the blood cell there! :D <br/> <br/>Nice work, a really original use of the theme. It makes you feel more nervous as time passes, adding pressure to the player very effectively. <br/> <br/>But it's way too hard for me, that waist is too thin! Haha |
| Apr 28 22:00:00 | 13m 00s | Beeneath The Surface | At first, movement is confusing and I didn't see the skills. I just tried to run somewhere safe :D <br/> <br/>But using the skills improves the game a lot, I enjoyed teaching some beeology to those enemies. Too bad the boss can't move. Nice music, it is really beefitting on anything with insects. <br/> <br/>(I like it when people rebels a bit against the theme by adding some variations :) ) |
| Apr 28 22:07:00 | 7m 00s | Safety Blanket | Really inmersive, great sound, and visuals (except the face of the man, ugh). Even the blanket moves pretty well. <br/> <br/>I was nervous all the time, nicely done. Now let me sleep quietly without monsters, please :D |
| Apr 28 22:14:00 | 7m 00s | Abstraction | Nice view of the theme. It exposes how difficult game design can be, even if the visuals are simple, programming never is. <br/> <br/>Good idea, too bad it is quite short. Keep it up! |
| Apr 29 20:15:00 | 22h 01m | Beneath the Surface - a 2D Puzzle-Platformer | Good work, simple but efficient. Some parts are quite the challenge. nice music, very relaxing. <br/> <br/>Only problem I found, is that the surface girl has some lag compared with the one below, and sometimes I die because of it. And maybe you should add a sound or visual notification when one of the two girls arrived safely to the end :D |
| Apr 29 20:42:00 | 27m 00s | Food's above & Danger Beneath the Surface! | Well done, I never thought spiders have such a hard time :D <br/> <br/>Nice music and pacing of the actions. Once you learn the controls, going to the surface is a good exercise of reflexes. But somehow, those ants always take my eggs! Bah, take them! I'll create even more! |
| Apr 29 20:59:00 | 17m 00s | Bajo la superficie | Nice job with the scenery, it must be hard to create 3D graphics in just 72 hours. I liked the inspiration of Jetpac in this game, and the crowbar-thing the astronaut holds, looks like Half Life's :D <br/> <br/>I could never expect such an ending! Even with that suit! |
| Apr 29 21:21:00 | 22m 00s | Friend of the Fisherman | Really good graphics, quite nostalgic and excellent animations. Its GameBoyColor style works nicely. <br/> <br/>And the final counting is a neat touch, very "arcade" like. Ir reminds me of "Battle City" from NES :D |
| Apr 29 21:53:00 | 32m 00s | Mind Therapy | Awesome work, great combination of mood, graphics and sound. Sprites are so simple yet so nicely animated. Pacing and puzzles both have a good design out of a clear concept. <br/> <br/>Somehow I ended doing push-ups long before I was told I could :D |
| Apr 29 22:00:00 | 7m 00s | A boy and his Hellworm | Great graphics, animations, sounds and mechanic. If only we could earn more points for consecutive killing without touching the floor, that would be awesome. And some music. <br/> <br/>But anyway the game works perfectly, and on top of that, is damn fun. |
| May 2 14:01:00 | 64h 01m | In the Black | Nice work, both audio and font style create a good atmosphere for the game. <br/> <br/>I achieved the 10.000$ goal the first time (with caution), but it looks you may fail with ease with bad decisions. It seems well adjusted and choosing the same choice could be dangerous. Nice system. |
| May 2 14:10:00 | 9m 00s | Sail | Great game, it reminds me of Wind Waker too, and that is good. Nice work with the sea and graphics, specially the toon shading effects. <br/> <br/>It seems a lot of us preferred the sea for the theme :) |
| May 2 14:20:00 | 10m 00s | Deep Diver | Excellent art and visuals, I like how you mix 3D and 2D with style. Music is good, and the game's got some arcade feel that fits well. Nice work! |
| May 2 14:28:00 | 8m 00s | Cry Baby | Nice sprite, is kind of adorable when crying :D <br/> <br/>Good idea with lightning, but platforms were somewhat tricky (and sticky) sometimes, making some sections randomly hard. <br/> <br/>Well done! |
| May 2 16:22:00 | 1h 54m | A Glorious Escape for A Lich King | One of the greatest games I've seen around here. Simple, yet addictive, and nice graphics. Every element of this game has a great sense of detail, surprising for a 48h time frame. And on top of that, is fun. <br/> <br/>Only drawbacks? Goblin icon is not very clear, and a "tower spiral" technique makes "Hard mode" easy too. Nonetheless, excellent work. |
| May 3 14:36:00 | 22h 14m | Five little Submarines | Whoa, first generated map was so huge that I found no child at all :D <br/> <br/>Good work with these procedurally generated maps, although it may turn impossible sometimes, as touching a wall means instant death (even for the children!). <br/> <br/>Nice submarine sprites! |
| May 3 14:58:00 | 22m 00s | Wriggle Worm | Just trying to avoid the damage sound is a good motivation to not touch other worms :D <br/> <br/>Entertaining game, hard but fast paced. Nice work. |
| May 3 15:08:00 | 10m 00s | Rise to Surface | Good game, but it is easy to stay alive for long periods of time. There doesnt seem to be an end, goal or variation, so users may get bored after a while. I wanted to see the surface :( <br/> <br/>Nice work with sounds and visuals! |
| May 3 15:22:00 | 14m 00s | Kill or Kill | Fanny game, the garbage told me to kill, so I did. Even the police. But there are too much security in this city to become a killer :D <br/> <br/>I like how you cannot control it when suddenly turn into a blood thirsty monster! |
| May 3 18:01:00 | 2h 39m | Jimmy the explorer | Nice physics! I liked to control blocks with E, great idea. However, it's not good when you stop pressing E and the block returns to its previous state (at least one in the lava, with you on top), but everything else works perfect. <br/> <br/>Good puzzles and mechanics, keep it up! |
| May 3 18:12:00 | 11m 00s | Seven Souls | Good graphics! Audio and conversations are fine, too, but I would specify controls somewhere. OH, and as a non-english speaker, it is really difficult to follow "troll monster" lines :D <br/> <br/>Nice job with the mood! |
| May 4 12:43:00 | 18h 31m | Dark Moles! | Nice whack-a-mole! Bombs can fix everything everywhere in gaming :D <br/> <br/>I got confused with controls, I didn't thought you can control the direction of bombs with the mouse position, so the moles defeated me easily. Now I'll make them pay. <br/> <br/>Good work! |
| May 4 13:34:00 | 51m 00s | Nuggets | It's a shame that Windows cursos don't work, because the game is nice. I specially liked the graphics and combo/fusing system. Good work! |
| May 6 21:05:00 | 55h 31m | BENEATH the SURFACE | Nice game. Exactly as difficult as it needs to be. Sounds are funny :) Graphics and mechanics are simple but really efficient. Good job! |
| May 7 19:57:00 | 22h 52m | Michell in Hell | Nice game, quite difficult as enemies touch you very easily, but I like the strategy decision of fighting by yourself or planting new trees to improve attacking area. <br/> <br/>Good graphics and design, keep it up! |
| May 7 20:05:00 | 8m 00s | Blue waves | Great game, original mechanic with nice relaxing music. Good gameplay, but it ends fast, right when things started to get complicated :D |
| May 8 17:05:00 | 21h 00m | WWE(Worms War Evolution) | Nice game! At first it seemed too difficult and random, specially when the powerup to bite appeared in front of the red worm. But eventually I got used to the game and how to use available powerups <br/> <br/>Good work! |
| May 11 19:19:00 | 74h 14m | Surface Tension | Awesome game! With a single button, you have been able to create a fully working game mechanic, and it is fun! <br/> <br/>Audio is great, graphics are good, and it may lack only one thing: explosions :D |
| May 11 20:50:00 | 1h 31m | Maniac PengMaku!! | Great game! I couldnt stop until I finished it! (with a joypad, it was harder with a keyboard) <br/> <br/>It is addictive, it has a good mechanic, and it has penguins! What else could it need? :P |
