| Dec 8 04:28:00 | Color Company | That was fun! I expected to win just by leaving my computer up but when I found out it had active play I really enjoyed it. It is a bit steep of a learning curve. The game starts before you really know how to play. | |
| Dec 8 05:05:00 | 37m 00s | Cam16 | I kept trying to press spacebar to jump. But I really enjoyed it. Is the screen with the changing colors the ending? |
| Dec 8 05:11:00 | 6m 00s | Manly Games Mini | I am using windows 7 and it is running okay here. Thought it was p fun ^.^ |
| Dec 8 05:16:00 | 5m 00s | Christmas Punch! | kinda difficult to punch dudes. Also, I'm not sure how to get more water, or if I can get more water. |
| Dec 8 05:18:00 | 2m 00s | pluvia | that was pretty cool |
| Dec 8 05:23:00 | 5m 00s | Temporary | I tried running the java file and it said ("The command line arguments are incorrect") |
| Dec 8 05:34:00 | 11m 00s | No Space for Error | I really enjoyed this! |
| Dec 8 06:20:00 | 46m 00s | Nooo Bath Time!!! | I rather enjoyed this. I would have to say that some of the things seemed a little ambiguous. I didn't realize that the soap bars would harm me for a while. Also, sometimes the soap bars spawn somewhere I was already moving so I hit them with out a chance to avoid. The movement seems a little too fast to try to avoid something like that. If the game was slowed down a bit, I could imagine heading a direction, then seeing a soap bar and moving out of the way, but at the current speed it feels pretty difficult to dodge anything. Perhaps, as you survive longer, the game moves faster (and music speeds up as an effect). |
| Dec 8 06:46:00 | 26m 00s | Impossible Tower | I beat it! Score was 715:45 secs. I liked it. However... I did notice that there was a pattern that I could use to get to the top. If there were spike along the left side, this pattern wouldn't have worked forever but it did. If you look at this link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4BQnEaFh_gvMmdPR0pkNVZCbFE/view?usp=sharing If you number the parts from top to bottom. the very top piece being 0 and the very bottom piece being 11. the pattern I used was 6>2>6>3>repeat. Anyways, I thought it was a cool idea, and I can safely say that it ran on my windows 7 computer :) |
| Dec 8 07:46:00 | 1h 00m | #CorporateCrimewave | That game was solid |
| Dec 8 07:48:00 | 2m 00s | HehPal | put your .exe and your data folder in a zip file. It makes it easy for users to download. other wise users must download every file individually. |
| Dec 8 08:03:00 | 15m 00s | HexaQuest | Could really benefit from some simple visual clues. Life if harder monsters has a more menacing picture, so that you could tell (at a glance) how difficult the monster was. |
| Dec 8 08:09:00 | 6m 00s | I'm the robot. | p fun. I felt kind of confused starting off, as to how the game worked. The axe felt like it wasn't doing much. Some small sound effects (and some damage numbers popping up) could go a long way! |
| Dec 8 08:22:00 | 13m 00s | Labyrinthian | had a glitch after "maybe your destiny is to run in circles" or something like that. Anyways. thought it was really cool. |
| Dec 8 08:50:00 | 28m 00s | WASD | Hilarious! and awesome! |
| Dec 8 08:54:00 | 4m 00s | BBQ DAD | 157 was my points! Pretty fun! |
| Dec 8 10:43:00 | 1h 49m | Das Tank Game | The control scheme is weird but awesome once you get used to it. I had a score of around 3110 before I stopped. Honestly, I usually have small critiques on these games, but the only thing I can think of for you is to make more stuff. Multi-player, more levels, etc... and the power ups need some balancing, but the game is really fun! |
| Dec 8 10:51:00 | 8m 00s | Gingerbread Castle | Cool Game. Pun not intended :3. I didn't read the instructions at first and was really confused on the controls. Learning curve seemed a bit sharp, and not being able to attack someone already in your square was kind of aggravating. |
| Dec 8 10:57:00 | 6m 00s | ColorBlocks | Was pretty cool! I really liked the mood of the game and the idea. I have noticed that spinning while collecting blocks, sometimes causes you to lose. Anyways, cool game! |
| Dec 8 19:46:00 | 8h 49m | Train Time | I thought this was pretty cool, but I ultimately felt there wasn't a goal. I think it could benefit from some goals or achievements, something similar to incremental games, where the next goal seems to close that you keep going. keep it up! |
| Dec 8 20:09:00 | 23m 00s | The Snowman and the Cannons | pretty fun! High end version got blocked by chrome (chrome said it was malicious???) low end one worked great though! |
| Dec 8 20:28:00 | 19m 00s | Quantum - The Tail of Schrodinger's Cat | Cute game! I did get hit once after I had finished a level. Also, I didn't beat it, but growing didn't seem like a useful maneuver to use. |
| Dec 8 20:36:00 | 8m 00s | Tell me you! | I thought this was cool and intriguing. I wish there was a little more I could learn about these characters, unless there is something I'm missing. Anyways, i like the blend of flat 3D shapes, and 2D sprites. |
| Dec 8 21:04:00 | 28m 00s | Flaming Resistance | Contrast made it difficult to see. Also, the first enemy is really hard to get past. You might consider writing some kind of script to produce a white light on the top of surfaces near the player (like the light coming off the magma dude to light up nearby surfaces. It would make it easier to see the edges when you are platforming, but would maintain the dark cave look. You could probably achieve this using ray-casting, to put light pixels on al nearby surfaces, with each light pixel being brighter if its close to the player and more invisible if it's far from the player. sound is awesome. I'm surprised you opted out. |
| Dec 8 21:13:00 | 9m 00s | Squint Maze | This game intimidates me :( |
| Dec 8 21:58:00 | 45m 00s | Council of Smiles | I enjoyed it. Could do with some graphics and audio that help set the mood of the game. |
| Dec 8 22:14:00 | 16m 00s | Cuberot | awe-some! |
| Dec 9 05:09:00 | 6h 55m | If I Can Just Mine 5000 Crystals From This Weird Snowman Planet They'll Let My Daughter Go Free | Honestly, it's hard to tell what to do here :/ |
| Dec 9 05:18:00 | 9m 00s | Block Party EGOS | So I played this one player. The game definitely seems like it would be a lot more fun with multiple players. Moving a block left and right was a bit difficult. Also, its hard to tell where your new block is until it is about halfway down, due to the camera angle. |
| Dec 9 19:27:00 | 14h 09m | Santa's First Christmas | I thought this was pretty fun. It was very difficult to be caught and have to start all over just due to the speed of the game being relatively slow. Sometimes its really hard to wait for the kids to turn around at the right moment. I wasn't able to beat it all, I got to level 4. If it's fairly short, I would consider putting like a 1/4 2/4 counter at the bottom right of the screen just to give other player an idea of how much is left. Or , really alternatively, I would fix the pacing. It's pretty challenging to move at the right moment, which is nice that the challenge is there, but having to start the entire level over when you lose feels frustrating. At least, it does to me. Anyways, I like the idea. I would also suggest crediting the musical author, or if you did the chip tune yourself, at least credit that it is based on the author's tune. (or maybe that's in the credits, I haven't beaten it) |
| Dec 9 19:33:00 | 6m 00s | A Link Between Screens | I really enjoyed the mechanic and the play on the theme you have. I felt the idea all came together as a whole. |
| Dec 9 22:21:00 | 2h 48m | Leaving | I thought this was awesome. It was provocative in story, and it was... just fun! |
| Dec 10 04:58:00 | 6h 37m | Orion | This was really fun. I like the feel of this game :3 |
| Dec 10 05:15:00 | 17m 00s | I am Sigma | I liked it. My time was 14:36 and 52 deaths fyi. I felt there was a lot of story that could have been put in still, but there really is only so much you can do in 48 hours. |
| Dec 10 06:12:00 | 57m 00s | Block Dungeon | This was really fun, but I felt it could use more powerups. Graphics were great as well as audio, though a song would have been nice. This entry was spectacular, but at one moment I got surrounded by a bunch of dude really rapidly and died. There's no heals! not that I could find. |
| Dec 10 07:29:00 | 1h 17m | The Broken Seeing Glass | The platforming is a bit difficult. still a few bugs but that aint no thang. I would have liked a "You win" message if you collect all of the shards. Also, making more re-spawn points for if you die, might be an easy way to re-leave the stress of dieing. |
| Dec 10 07:51:00 | 22m 00s | Galaxia | This game was really fun. I felt it would be nice to see a color spread over the galaxy as you gain control. Or perhaps, an image of how big your civilization is, or both! A note though, after a while, the game seemed to become just factory making, which kind of dragged out :p still has a good time! |
| Dec 10 16:45:00 | 8h 54m | DEBATE | I rather liked this. Pressing space bar rapidly felt pretty analogous to "yelling". |
| Dec 12 07:33:00 | 38h 48m | Cold Remembrance | very awesome. Wish it was longer! |
| Dec 12 07:45:00 | 12m 00s | Escape Velocity | For some reason, starting this game on my windows computer causes it to log me off ??? Anyways, I did not rate it because I was not able to run it. Just letting you know |
| Dec 12 07:54:00 | 9m 00s | Steve vs The Spinning Ballet Monsters! | A little audio could go a long way! Also, the different enemy types have the same speed and capabilities. It feels as though I could just keep running forever if I wanted to. Anyways, Congrats on completing! A lot of LDers don't even finish. |
| Dec 12 08:02:00 | 8m 00s | Bugged Out | wow.. I'm... really impressed at how much got done in 72 hours! |
| Dec 12 08:08:00 | 6m 00s | Grown Ups Frequency | This game is either confusing or provacative. I can't decide. |
| Dec 14 09:53:00 | 49h 45m | Landscaped Confinement | I'm not sure what to say about a visual novel being in a video game contest. I certainly enjoy the notion of the visual novel medium being like a game, but this lacked a certain choice aspect and the interaction between the game and the player was in part limiting, in that it was only clicking, and also, very interesting in that there was a certain mental emotional interaction between the player and the game. That being said though, there is that kind of interaction between a viewer and a tv show, or a reader and a book, so I'm not sure I would consider that to be analogous to playing a game. It would be interesting if, perhaps, there was some small interactions in the background of the game. For example, if it showed the person on the patio, and you could walk around the patio, but were still trapped there. Anyways, the story was lovely, and the music set the mood very well. |
| Dec 15 00:41:00 | 14h 48m | Owls Ever After | I loved this game! |
| Dec 15 08:28:00 | 7h 47m | Treasure Quest | I had trouble playing this. A guide would really help. Even published Point n click adventure games usually have a walk through in case the player gets stuck. |
| Dec 15 09:34:00 | 1h 06m | Oi! Menu!? | This was hilarious! I did feel, though, like there could have been more teasing before the victory |
| Dec 16 19:28:00 | 33h 54m | Visibility Zero | This is the best entry I have played in the LD so far, and I've played about 50. This game is awesome. I do have some irksum things though, that I would like to note. These are my small criticisms: <br/>The creatures are impossible to escape. It gets really annoying to be trying to figure out something visually and then these stupid guys start eating at you. There should be some means of escaping them, or perhaps you could make like the green shard thingies a deterrent for them (like they won't go near the shards), then you could place the shards in places for a safe haven for the player to use while they look at something and plan out their next movement. <br/>The Magni screen is useless. I have no idea what it does, it certainly didnt help me find any craters. I saw that it turns a light on at your feet, and I tried lowering the screen and using that light to move, but it's just not possible to see any craters before you are already in them. <br/>I was not able to beat this game dues to frustration. There was one crate left to check for me, but I got really tired of falling down craters and mapping out the ground using trial and error. <br/>Anyways, those are my criticisms. Again though, this is my favorite submission so far, so don't let those detract from my how awesome I thought this was (atmosphere, idea, gameplay, exploration, graphics, fun). Yeh. |
