Aug 25 10:00:00 devoid Yes, it is a lot like Galcon. But I prefer the twist of not being able to manufacture units straight away, that there is a no mans land that last longer, where as in Galcon ownership changes the moment you have wiped the enemy and have one unit. <br/> <br/>It changes the strategy, where attacking one world is strategically more sound than do a massive sprawl attack. <br/> <br/>If this was expanded on, I would buy it for iPad. I love the visual design too. When I was using the, it was quite frustrating - but at some point I started touching the screen and it made the game flow so much more. <br/> <br/>I don't mind that it is Galcon's mechanic, because if that stopped us making games we'd only have Wolfenstein and Jumpman to play. <br/> <br/>The delivery makes it worth while.
Aug 25 10:05:00 5m 00s PEW PEW PEW PEW I didn't have a mouse plugged in (just touchpad) so it was kind of frustrating. But I can tell it would be pretty fun with a mouse. Maybe consider adding keyboard only controls as an option? ARROWS to aim and WASD to shoot, or constantly fire and you fire the direction you walk? I don't know. In any case, great work!
Aug 25 12:56:00 2h 51m The Crossover Episode I love the theme idea and the pixel art. But I couldn't get past the first room. I just walked off screen and then nothing happened. <br/> <br/>Bu
Aug 25 13:35:00 39m 00s Alternation Loved it. I had troubled with the control scheme as I only had a touch pad thought.
Aug 26 01:23:00 11h 48m E.T.I.T. This was fantastic! I have no constructive criticism. <br/> <br/>But I am so happy that this theme has brought about great space games like this.
Aug 26 01:49:00 26m 00s Color Bleed I now see your comment "play until you reach some sense of closure" as a commentary on conflict. <br/> <br/>This made me feel sad for the world we live in, which suprised me. Great work.
Aug 26 02:00:00 11m 00s Shinyrock The intro was great! The concept was great! The mechanic idea was great but once you realise that nothing happens and you have experienced all that it is going to offer, there is no incentive to keep playing. <br/> <br/>I am not saying that is a bad thing though. I am glad I played. <br/> <br/>I think the mechanic could be expanded upon to make some kind of VVVVVV style thing. And if you could represent the bounds of gravity with sound and visuals it would be really interesting what kind of puzzles you could design around that.
Aug 26 02:22:00 22m 00s Operation Ad-Hawk I tried to run it but it stayed minimized and in Task Manager said "Not Responding". <br/> <br/>Is it possible to make a web build?
Aug 26 02:31:00 9m 00s Space Delver I tried to read the controls screen but I could only see the bottom quarter of it. Is it possible to scale it based on window size? I'll come back later to rerate.
Aug 26 02:34:00 3m 00s Darkness This is great. I died after a minute or two, but I can tell I'd really like this if I played more. A run animation and sounds would add so much!
Aug 26 02:39:00 5m 00s Inbetween Lands of Grass I couldn't move any boxes into storage, they just got stuck at the exit. But graphics 5 stars!
Aug 26 02:51:00 12m 00s Passeur I loved this as it is. I don't want goals, I just want the islands to change over time. Goals would ruin this!
Aug 26 03:24:00 33m 00s Sender Very challenging. I played for ever but couldn't beat the first level. I really enjoyed it though. I liked the world design too!
Aug 26 04:07:00 43m 00s This Is Your World Too This is the best interpretation of the theme I have come across yet.
Aug 26 04:22:00 15m 00s You never call. I couldn't figure it out, but looks nice!
Aug 26 04:26:00 4m 00s Circular Logic I kept dying but I like the idea and the graphics. Some better checkpoints would probably have stopped me from rage quitting.
Aug 26 04:32:00 6m 00s EBDA I love the idea of moving the worlds with your projectiles.
Aug 26 04:37:00 5m 00s One Ship Two Ship Redshift Blueshift It's great, one request. Auto fire.
Aug 26 04:44:00 7m 00s Stranded in Space Cool idea
Aug 26 04:48:00 4m 00s 100 Days Great work!
Aug 28 10:27:00 53h 39m Saphenous Seems interesting but I found the panning speed frustrating so I lost patience.
Aug 28 10:33:00 6m 00s Telecaster I really liked this. I don't mind that it is completely up to luck. Wouldn't exploring space realistically be like that? It is nice to have your own experience even if your choices weren't informed.
Aug 28 10:36:00 3m 00s Astro Tycoon When I start the game I just get a black screen every time :( (Web)
Aug 28 10:48:00 12m 00s Pretty Pastel Squares I like the game. I think this level is a bit mechanic dense, which makes it frustrating. You have the dangerous boxes, the dimension switching the fact that the dangerous boxes aren't static (I think they should have been), it is all introduced into this crystal of a level. <br/> <br/>If the mechanics were introduced one by one, and this was the last level in the game, I think it would be stronger. <br/> <br/>But this level really is a gem.
Aug 28 10:57:00 9m 00s Stellation 5 Stars for everything except audio and humor. So cool!
Aug 28 11:07:00 10m 00s Phase Shift I couldn't finish level 3 but I thought this was great. I would stay and play this all night if I wasn't on a rating mission. <br/> <br/>I loved the music too.
Aug 28 11:14:00 7m 00s Trapped in a Computer Made me laugh, managed to win a round. Cool idea, I liked the music!
Aug 28 11:34:00 20m 00s Universe Errand Boy I love the graphics and the editor. I actually guessed the controls for rotating and flipping pieces, and when I was right it made me really appreciate your choices. <br/> <br/>I never came across any other ships. I wish I could, so I could trade. I'd be really interested to hear about any future updates to this. Heck, I'd love to help in any way if I can. :)
Aug 28 11:44:00 10m 00s Heaven or Hell I loved this! What a great interpretation of the theme!
Aug 28 11:50:00 6m 00s A Step Away This games great, I got stuck after a few minutes in. But this is so good!
Aug 28 11:55:00 5m 00s deer hunter Too good
Aug 28 12:13:00 18m 00s Awe 5 Stars for everything but humor. One day I will make a game this good. :)
Aug 28 12:20:00 7m 00s Proxy Plex Bugs out on level 3 for me. But I think the game is great!
Aug 28 12:59:00 39m 00s HUNT I love that you run out of arrows. And if this had multiplayer I would be so happy.
Aug 28 13:05:00 6m 00s DreamRun I thought this was pretty cool, if a bit repetitive. I've seen this Ikaruga phase mechanic interpreted in so many different ways this jam. Makes me wonder if there is a fundametal set of mechanics.
Aug 28 13:13:00 8m 00s Wallrun Dot Love Yeah checkpoints...
Aug 28 13:39:00 26m 00s Mor Wow, at first I had no idea what to do, but this grew on me. Now I think it is pretty incredible.
Aug 28 13:40:00 1m 00s Oval Opposites The page seems to be down for me. I'll download the source and try that.
Aug 28 13:50:00 10m 00s Planetsmacker I liked it.
Aug 28 14:07:00 17m 00s The Dream Smuggler This has such promise! I love your creativity, please finish this at some point!
Aug 28 14:31:00 24m 00s Trappy Tomb Amazing idea, I love it. <br/> <br/>The only frustrating thing is how long the load times are after dying, not sure if there is a way around that. But this is great! <br/> <br/>I was _this_ close to closing your game because I thought it was just a static picture, after about a 30 seconds I noticed the red square on the left was a loading bar. <br/> <br/>But seriously, _this_ close.
