| Apr 28 04:57:00 | Flood Trap | I tried playing a few different times to save the people. I never figured out what the pipe I acquired was for. I got to one room that just said "room content" (don't remember the path). A bit easy to get lost, but that's to be expected in text based games. I think the alternate "endings" is a good idea, but the strength of text based games lies partially in the story which I felt wasn't there. | |
| Apr 28 05:10:00 | 13m 00s | Mission "Tank" | Dat music tho... Seriously. the mood was with this one. Zombie sprites were great. I can't say I was a huge fan of the "fight scenes", but it worked. Not sure where I got my $2 from to revive myself ;) The shooting king zombies put me in a situation I couldn't get out of... And I guess my head is a shotgun... Pretty sweet dude. Good work. |
| Apr 28 05:16:00 | 6m 00s | Ray Hey Hey | So, I don't know if there was something wrong, but controls felt completely unresponsive. I literally felt like I was watching a video of someone else play... Groovy audio though. |
| Apr 28 05:38:00 | 22m 00s | Subspace | It looks like this didn't quite get finished. It would be nice to have some kind of simple ambient audio. The idea of switching between the two spaces two navigate the maze is pretty awesome. (Took a while for me to find stuff :) ). Although I'm almost positive I got all 4 artifacts, and the wall still didn't let me through :/. Also, when you switch to the subspace after getting an artifact, the artifact reappears. |
| Apr 28 06:01:00 | 23m 00s | Vertico | This game is fantastic! I think I managed to take advantage of a bug where I would kill enemies to fill my oxygen so full that it wouldn't go down if I didn't get hurt, but regardless, I just kept going down wanting to see what was at the bottom and I found and destroyed it! Awesome work! |
| Apr 28 06:13:00 | 12m 00s | Little Viking | Are you kidding me? Double spikes on a slant? ... -_- Sadly, I could not get past this jump before I rage quit. Comic style is awesome. Music seemed to be mocking me after my 50th+ try... |
| Apr 28 06:22:00 | 9m 00s | Captain John's Buried Treasures | Thought it was your basic platformer up until I saw how to use bombs. Then I just blew the crap out of everything! :) That was pretty fun, but the frame rate seemed to lag pretty significantly. I imagine each of those blocks might have been doing a bit too much causing the game to run a bit slowly. Overall cool dynamic terrain effects. |
| Apr 28 06:28:00 | 6m 00s | Spelunker Boxing | Pretty fun game, although didn't really fit the theme. That being said, the computer is better at boxing than I am... |
| Apr 28 06:34:00 | 6m 00s | Box Simulator | WTF. Box. This game deserves an award. |
| Apr 28 06:39:00 | 5m 00s | Hold On To Your Nuts | Oh yeah, and watch out for the snakes... right... I'll do that... (Drops nuts) |
| Apr 28 15:51:00 | 9h 12m | I'm Guilty | Great twist. I don't know why others don't think this hits the theme. The twist is about as close to the theme as you can get. Jumping felt a little wonky sometimes, but meh 48 hours :) You've created a good experience with simple gameplay. |
| Apr 28 17:26:00 | 1h 35m | RAD - Robot Assisted Digging | This is a pretty solid game. It runs well and has a good mechanic, although it would be nice to have a little bit more detailed sprites for the character, house, and robots. I thought the mechanic was well implemented, although there technically is no way to lose (although that's not necessarily a bad thing :) ) All things considered, I think it was well done. |
| Apr 28 17:43:00 | 17m 00s | Arctic Antics | Thanks to you, I now have a new least favorite aquatic mammal... Beautiful music, fantastic graphics, holy difficulty batman. You definitely have the addicting short game play element going for you. I managed to get 8 pages of my documents before giving up on studying orcas forever. |
| Apr 28 18:06:00 | 23m 00s | Descent | Had to set the difficulty to easy, and I still sucked pretty bad. Tough control system to get used to. I got to the point where you break through the wall that is exactly as wide as you are and... well... like I said I'm no pilot. Good work for 48 hours. |
| Apr 28 18:50:00 | 44m 00s | Youdunnit | I think I want to come back to this game later... I really enjoy these types of puzzles, and you've done it on two levels. You have to figure out what you are so you can last long enough to figure out who is exhibiting traits of another monster that you can frame them as. I still haven't won yet, but this is definitely a game I'd have to write things out to figure out. Awesome work. I only wish the music was a little more ambient/eerie than it is. |
| Apr 28 19:28:00 | 38m 00s | Beneath the Sur(e)face | Haha I honestly don't know how anyone will be able to complete this without the source code. But reading through that was kind of funny anyway (as far as the things you needed to ask to continue). I guess John has some family matters to attend to ;) |
| Apr 28 19:41:00 | 13m 00s | La Dolce Mare | Well, I was originally going to rate a 5 in humor because I could swim to spaaaaaaaaace!!!.... and then the octopus got me... I straight up lost it. <br/>Nice work. |
| Apr 29 05:46:00 | 10h 05m | ResourceDivers | Played all the way through! You created a very good balance of allowing the player to make enough progress with the upgrades to want to continue playing to the end. |
| Apr 29 05:49:00 | 3m 00s | Submarines Vs. Airplanes | Those planes sure do drop a lot of bombs... Can't say I got very far in this game. That being said, I like the style, and the audio fit well. |
| Apr 29 05:55:00 | 6m 00s | Cybs Submarine | It's a copter clone. But, for your first web game, you have to start somewhere. Great job implementing this classic game :) (also add a keyboard option ;) ) |
| Apr 29 06:14:00 | 19m 00s | Carnival Warfare | I am the best salesman! Seriously, good job with this. I think the theme link was a bit of a stretch though... I'm not sure what happened on day 2, they said I was fired, and then I came back the next day? Oh well! Great game! |
| Apr 29 20:57:00 | 14h 43m | Beneath Your House | Ha every time the guy said he had to go back down, I was like, "Uh no I think you can retire now". Silly man... |
| Apr 29 21:06:00 | 9m 00s | Beneath the Surface, Drillsnake | I feel like the drill needs to be a bit faster for this to really be fun. Overall, cool idea for a concept, it was just a little slow game play. (Maybe I didn't use enough drills ;) |
| Apr 29 21:18:00 | 12m 00s | Aqua | I wish the piano track looped, that was a sweet song. It looks like there are multiple treasures you can find. And keys in the walls o_o Overall, nice job, for someone who stresses out about precise platforming, this was a relaxing change of pace. |
| Apr 29 21:29:00 | 11m 00s | Persona | Great game you put together here. I think it would be even more interesting if you expanded on it with different endings based on how you used the masks. Nice work! |
| Apr 29 21:40:00 | 11m 00s | Fortune Miner | Good first entry. I think the low frame rate might have been a little much for me though. Keep it up! |
| Apr 29 21:55:00 | 15m 00s | Beneath | Solid game. I think my only complaint might be the lack of sprites for the red enemies. Nice work! |
| Apr 29 22:07:00 | 12m 00s | Splodey Boats | This is a very solid game. Well put together, with a perfect difficulty curve. Excellent work with this. |
| Apr 29 22:12:00 | 5m 00s | Deep terror | Nice work with this. I like the twist you introduce by letting the player be the monster. |
| Apr 29 22:16:00 | 4m 00s | Cave Escape | Short sweet and to the point. Thanks for making this. |
| May 1 17:47:00 | 43h 31m | The Dead Beneath | Pretty nifty little game. I liked letting the zombies build up on a platform and then just tear through them like a boss. |
| May 2 03:16:00 | 9h 29m | Mole Empire | Man those spiders are OP... Sweet lighting/shadow effect. |
| May 2 03:30:00 | 14m 00s | Deep Sea Mission | Good mood and everything. I honestly had no idea where to go though... I just dived and dived... Didn't see any targets, rocks, or mines. |
| May 2 03:33:00 | 3m 00s | Fullmoon | Not too shabby. I agree with your interpretation of the theme. It works :) |
| May 7 17:36:00 | 134h 03m | Graeber | I felt like the balance may have been a little too easy. I never felt I was in danger of losing all my health, and could have gone on forever. |
| May 7 17:59:00 | 23m 00s | Snack on the fly | Pretty sweet. The graphics have really nice contrast. I would recommend developing this further for the mobile platform. |
| May 7 18:07:00 | 8m 00s | Deepeon | Unfortunately, the sound wasn't working on my browser (that doesn't surprise me). Even without the sound, the mood set up in this game was very good. Nice work with this. |
| May 7 18:30:00 | 23m 00s | Total Tipanic | Saved the Tipanic. I am awesome. |
| May 7 18:42:00 | 12m 00s | Nesty Fall | The checkpoint system is VERY nice, especially when I'm sliding into those stupid spikes on those trickier jumps. <br/>Something was wrong with my audio. It was all out of sync (like way late or something...). Good work. |
| May 7 19:01:00 | 19m 00s | Leaving Home | This seems like it's worth expanding on. |
| May 7 19:22:00 | 21m 00s | Go Below | Pretty solid game you have here. I think it would be worth expanding. |
| May 7 19:36:00 | 14m 00s | Pinger | This is actually surprisingly fun. Using the classic triangulating technique to find exactly where treasure is located is very satisfying. Nice work with this. |
| May 7 19:39:00 | 3m 00s | A Warm Summer's Eve | I almost felt like this was more of a free verse poem than anything, the way the words moved with what was happening and changed color. |
| May 7 19:48:00 | 9m 00s | Beneath the surface with Sir Walter Wuffington | I thought this was a pretty cool idea. You should expand on this and polish it up a bit. |
| May 7 20:06:00 | 18m 00s | Splitted | Blah blah blah the jumping... ;) Other than that, cool game. |
| May 7 20:20:00 | 14m 00s | 60 Seconds and a Wake Up | At times I felt the controls were a little wonky, but this may have been my browser acting up... -_- |
| May 8 19:40:00 | 23h 20m | The Sea Has No Claim | This is awesome. Well done. |
