Apr 29 05:41:00 One Cold Night great mood! so sad when my master died ;_; And I like your theme interpretation, more out of the box than just terraria clone or diving/surfing game.
Apr 29 05:45:00 4m 00s Worm Quest I like the art, specially the initial screen before you play. Sound is however really boring. The puzzle element combined with limited time makes a good 4* overall for you :)
Apr 29 06:03:00 18m 00s Surf Camp: The Legend of the Surf Ace Really impressive! Felt like lots of content, and I laughed so hard many times. That rock paper scissors man! not fair :) <br/>You're the first one I give several 5* to
Apr 29 06:32:00 29m 00s The Mask of Us Nice one! I love the message you send with this game, very beautiful. Easy to get into, had me stuck til the final twist when I finally realized your second interpretation of the theme - much more unique than the "surf ace" interpretation :D Only minus is the repetitive music, feels a bit rough. Other than that, great work!!
Apr 29 08:00:00 1h 28m Ascendence I really liked this, very cute and the puzzle design is really clever!
Apr 29 13:58:00 5h 58m Earthen Terror This is incredible!!! Can't believe the vast amount of content and juice and overall so great polished. And it was made in 48 hours of pure awesomeness! Gave you 5 in all categories except for theme got 4 and humor is empty since I'm not sure how to rate that. And I really love how you expanded on the old NES game concept in a very clever way with skills and enemies. I'm stunned, this is increadible! Kudos!
Apr 29 14:34:00 36m 00s The Pond Stunning graphics and great awesome gives a really nice feeling! I like the "backstory" kind of that old Jules Vernes novel. Btw, how did it go for you at the sony hackathon? I had to leave before the results, but I really think you deserve a scoring position for this! Great work indeed :D I'm the guy who made that wave physics game.
May 8 11:23:00 212h 49m StrataGEM Really nice work! I like the complex game mechanics, a real brain twister. Very impressive for your first LD!
May 10 19:26:00 56h 03m Infection Really nice work! Impressive to see a great idea combined with great execution and polish :) I would prefer if you disabled the right-click menu in the web player since I accidentally pressed full screen several time, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, awesome!
May 10 19:44:00 18m 00s SUNK simplistic and elegant! A simple concept executed really well, I like it :)
May 10 19:55:00 11m 00s Helevenium I'm getting old.... I totally gave up on the third stage. But still, I like the simplicity of this game and the graphical style was very interesting and uncommon. Good introduction of the game play functionality, both enemies and controls. I gave you particularily good score in the audio category for the very moodful lack of music which still works great thanks to the good choice of sound effects. You picked exactly the right events to connect sound effects to without bloating the game with too much sounds. I like the reload effect in particular which was very effective and totally necessary for the gameplay. Well done!
May 10 22:04:00 2h 09m Herbert Crawler I'll drop this comment here as well to make sure you see it: <br/> <br/>Nice work, the art looks great! Next time I would suggest you to use one or several finished frameworks/engines to speed-up the process. You would want to spend very little time on the engine code and just get the core gameplay up as fast as possible, preferrably something playable already on the first day if possible. Then you can add more content and mechanics as well as polishing everything. Sounds simple enough, but it takes a lot of practice, and it’s very easy to get stuck for too long on some details. <br/> <br/>I hope you had fun and learnt a lot even though you couldn’t finish it all, just try again next time and most of all, have fun! Greetings from Sweden and good luck next time!
May 11 01:03:00 2h 59m Planet Dig! Really impressive to hear about your experiences with voxel work way before they got popular. Didn't get too much into the gameplay, but it has a kind of relaxing feeling :) Still, I'm more impressed by the tech!
May 11 01:19:00 16m 00s Badass Pinguin Nice one! The gameplay felt really smooth, and I think if you got a simple score system in there perhaps with social media sharing even, it has great potential. Would work great on smart phones as well thanks to simple input. <br/>I think the change of music in the "underworld" was very well done as well with a great transition. I did not spend much time in the underworld so I'm not sure if you have this already, but a way to get back up on the upper world after falling down would be great, like a second chance to save your life if you screw up once. I think that would be a great mechanics. <br/>Finally, the graphics.. The art is really nice in total with a great concept-art feeling. I would change is the platform art to something not perfectly rectangular (consider some structure with edges and a looped middle-part to make it more interesting. You can still use normal rectangles for the intersections. Second, add an outline and perhaps change the color slightly for platforms since they right now blend into the background very much and are a bit uncomfortable to watch when playing for a long time. <br/>Underground is perhaps a bit too dark and could use a slight revamp, perhaps with a more fiery color palette? Just a thought ;) <br/>And finally, to me the game feels a bit too easy now, it would be great if the difficulty can scale up gradually by either speed or fewer platforms. Needs lots of tweaking along with the scoring system in case you want to commercialize this. <br/>In total, I really like the feeling of this game and it kept me playing rather long compared to most other entries. Simple yet addictive. I would totally recommend you to develop this into something commercial, and release it perhaps on Android and iOS. Well done!
May 18 15:39:00 182h 20m Gravity Great smooth gameplay, and really good feeling overall. Excellent graphics as well, and highly addictive. Best game I've played in this LD, well done!!
