|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 10 04:00:00 | The Swarm is All | Really beautiful audio-visual presentation. Had a lot of problems with controls (on the flash version) but I liked what I saw | |
| Dec 10 04:10:00 | 10m 00s | Zero Sum | Great ending. Really nice presentation all the way through. Gameplay could have been deeper but art/audio more than made up for it |
| Dec 10 04:14:00 | 4m 00s | Kazee ! | Could have used a lot more testing. Had a lot of trouble with controls and collision detection. I like the gameplay mechanic but maybe birds flapping would have made more sense than planes? |
| Dec 10 04:20:00 | 6m 00s | Existential | Has a nice feel but it's crazy ambitious for the jam and thus, not really very balanced or polished. Could be cool to keep working on! |
| Dec 10 04:22:00 | 2m 00s | Extreme Stick Fighter Ultimate 3i | Great idea and has a really good old-school feel. Not sure there's a lot of strategy or depth though! |
| Dec 10 04:24:00 | 2m 00s | Akhak ielky | Nice presentation but the blood seems like a really strange choice given how upbeat and cheery the graphics and music are |
| Dec 10 04:35:00 | 11m 00s | Galvatross | Love the title theme song!!! |
| Dec 10 04:39:00 | 4m 00s | One Room Dungeon | Would definitely recommend working on this more! Just needs some extra monsters and maybe a upgrade system and it would be great |
| Dec 10 04:43:00 | 4m 00s | One on One | Encountered some bugs on the PC version but was still totally blown away by the graphics. Great work! |
| Dec 10 05:01:00 | 18m 00s | Chance Encounter | Wow, really fresh and fun game! Great art and good comic writing. I hit a game-breaking but while taking a bath but hey, it's a game jam. <br/>Really happy to have played this!! |
| Dec 10 05:10:00 | 9m 00s | ICE MAN | Cool take on SG. Great music and art too. Really nice twitchy feel! |
| Dec 10 05:14:00 | 4m 00s | Rocket Jump Rampage | Really nice! It's an old classic but this perspective brings a lot of originality to the table. Would love to see this kind of game with additional powers like jetpacks and mines etc. |
| Dec 10 05:15:00 | 1m 00s | GhostRing | Really couldn't figure out the gameplay but I didn't really care! Gorgeous art & presentation, nice theme |
| Dec 10 05:23:00 | 8m 00s | Law Breaker | Yeah. This is great. Gameplay only has a little depth but the audio and graphics are incredible. |
| Dec 10 05:34:00 | 11m 00s | Orion | Definitely one of my favorites I've played this LD! I love the concept and the execution is just amazing. And the ending! Haha, It's Desert Bus in space! |
| Dec 10 05:40:00 | 6m 00s | Rude Bear Ride | Pretty nifty concept with the dual stick! Again it's hard to judge MP but I had fun just coming to grips with the controls. Swatting things feels really satisfying |
| Dec 10 20:06:00 | 14h 26m | The Aardvark and the Manatee | Really lovely stuff! Not sure if I got the gameplay or the story completely but I just wanted to spend time listening and staring!! |
| Dec 10 20:10:00 | 4m 00s | birdsong | Whoa! Very impressive!! That fisheye is such an original use of theme. Might be a bit tiring to play through a long experience with this view/setup but for this jam it's absolutely perfect. |
| Dec 10 20:15:00 | 5m 00s | HYPERPLASM | Pretty cool! Not a lot of depth to combat but what you do have is developed really well. Lots of good player feedback, very intuitive game. Pretty too! |
| Dec 10 20:20:00 | 5m 00s | Entire Screen of One Game | Hilarious! Really great jam game, best use of this theme I've seen. Simple yet effective. |
| Dec 11 03:20:00 | 7h 00m | Maybe Fish'n? | Nice opening scene. Pretty weird and cool. Sound really helps set the mood but the snake game kind of breaks it |
| Dec 11 03:24:00 | 4m 00s | Order Up! | Seems like a cool control scheme for this kind of game but I had a lot of problems getting it to work. I think feedback, visual and audio, for every 'event' the player does would be a good place to start. Let me know that my actions are good or bad so I can figure out if I'm playing it right |
| Dec 11 03:32:00 | 8m 00s | Serenity | Wow, just incredible graphics presentation!! It's obvious where you spent your time over the jam and it really pays off. The lighting and the shaders especially are really helpful in selling the mood of the game. Combat felt tacked on and the puzzles were mostly trial and error but mannn those graphics!! |
| Dec 11 03:45:00 | 13m 00s | Frosty Ninja | Like everyone says, pretty hilarious song! Gameplay didn't seem much at first but I got really into it. Nice use of wall jumping and double jumping. Fun stuff! |
| Dec 11 03:48:00 | 3m 00s | Penguin Savior | Really good models/textures but I can't help but wish the game was more forgiving :/ |
| Dec 11 03:52:00 | 4m 00s | ZoomZone | Wow, great concept! Seems executed pretty well too, although I didn't get too far haha <br/> <br/>Good work, would be curious to see how the idea develops if you work on it more. |
| Dec 11 05:20:00 | 1h 28m | The Adventures of King Pistachio | Looks like you guys had a lot of fun making this! Found it a little bit too difficult to get very far in but enjoyed the nice colors while it lasted. Also some weird collision bug where i was halfway through a platform? |
| Dec 11 05:22:00 | 2m 00s | Swarmed | Really nice effort. Lots of features and options in the game. The use of cover and ability to line up shots was quite nice. The difficulty curve was very steep, though. It went from being easy and enjoyable to almost impossible very quickly for me. Nice work though! Would be nice to move around a larger arena, that way you have an escape when you get... swarmed! |
| Dec 11 05:29:00 | 7m 00s | Doktornix And The Fetch Quest | The magnifying glass is a great idea but I often found it got in the way of finding my way! Pretty nice idea and presentation but would've liked more opportunities for skill instead of just bashing my way through. Nice effort though! |
| Dec 11 05:37:00 | 8m 00s | Block Dungeon | Really cool game! Seems like you may have gone overboard with the effects as the shadows and explosions often got in the way of my visibility. But the polish is super appreciated, especially for a jam game! <br/>Could be really cool to develop this further with more attack options, enemy types, etc. <br/>Great work! |
| Dec 11 07:28:00 | 1h 51m | Pickup Styx | Nice presentation for a pretty familiar game concept. Some nice twists but I found myself missing the predictability of Frogger when I had to wait long periods of time just to get on one platform. Also lots of dead end situations. But still nice effort and the post jam version looks better already. Encouraging! |
| Dec 12 18:48:00 | 35h 20m | Endless Expansion | Wow, great use of theme! Pretty cool idea even if the gameplay was nothing new. I also thought the collision detection was a bit finnicky, maybe if the character was wider it wouldn't seem that way? <br/>Great execution though, it all looked and felt slick. |
| Dec 12 19:25:00 | 37m 00s | Out of bounds! | Good framework for the idea here, it's obvious that you put a lot into making this competitive. However as a player I often felt frustrated by the controls and the lack of options. Maybe I didn't get any powerups but the reason people love double-jumps and stuff is that they give you a chance to correct a mistake. Overall this game was really punishing. But pretty nice and original I would also have to say |
| Dec 12 19:34:00 | 9m 00s | Valhalla | Great idea and it seems like you put a lot of groundwork into a lot of different systems but I found my playthrough pretty confusing. Also really wasn't able to get customer information, or really anything off of the bar area, maybe just menus would have been easier? |
| Dec 15 22:50:00 | 75h 16m | Octogonal Switcher | Definitely wish I had checked the instructions before trying but hey that's on me :) <br/>Cool, original idea. Seems like you had an ambitious design at the start of the jam, and there's a lot of stuff going on there! The difficulty menu is a great example of the different stuff going on. <br/>However I did find the moment to moment gameplay a little frustrating. Jumping just isn't satisfying and at times the sheer amount of stuff going on could be overwhelming. <br/> <br/>Again, cool concept and there were a lot of interesting systems but maybe more time could have been spent on the fine details of the player experience. |
| Dec 16 07:51:00 | 9h 01m | SideLands | Wow, man! Really great stuff, I am impressed by your creativity. The concept seemed a little thin at first but you really did a great job putting a game together. The graphics and sound work really well and the gameplay is super fun while it lasts. I think if you add one or two things you could really develop this further. |
| Dec 16 07:58:00 | 7m 00s | One Screen | I thought you wrapped the repetition into the gameplay experience nicely but still found it kind of tedious to play. Good thinking and good execution but I just think it would have been better as anything but a platformer :/ |
| Dec 16 08:00:00 | 2m 00s | Razor Dodgor ( Razer Dodger) | Nice idea but it is very unfair to the players. Often when I died I felt like there was nothing I could do.. I like the central feeling to the game but this needed a lot more thought before you started building it. |
| Dec 16 08:14:00 | 14m 00s | Final Swap | Pretty nice stuff. Graphics are especially gorgeous! As others have said I would have appreciated some kind of game system intro. Even just a few sentences on the web page where the game is would go a long way. <br/>Overall I felt the game could be quite tedious. This was probably because of my lack of understanding of the game rules but there were many long stretches where I wasn't doing anything but admiring the nice music. <br/>Heheh.. very good effort for a very ambitious game though! |
| Dec 16 19:40:00 | 11h 26m | Swotch | Obviously it's just Gravitron with another feature bolted on but your execution is really great. Nice visuals and well-suited music. Will be very curious to see what you make in the future! |
| Dec 20 19:45:00 | 96h 05m | Banana TV | Pretty funny and really original! I was a bit confused at first because I didn't read your instructions here but it wasn't actually too difficult to figure out just based off the graphics. <br/>Gotta show the sexy and scary stuff to the baby!! |
| Dec 26 02:18:00 | 126h 33m | Meowcalypse | Nice shooting action but I felt like it was pretty easy to survive for a long time without trying too hard. Good art & sound (though also a few sound bugs). <br/>Controls felt nice but without the difficulty in there it is hard to say how they really stand up :) |
| Dec 26 05:58:00 | 3h 40m | SIRTET | Great spin on a familiar idea. If you put a lot of work into the UI it could be great for mobile. Maybe some more game modes (ie time pressure?) as well |
| Dec 26 06:02:00 | 4m 00s | Screened | The audio and graphics are great but I was really frustrated with the controls. I get that it's part of the difficulty but it just didn't feel good to move around. Maybe if the character's graphics communicated the weight/floatiness more? |
| Dec 28 05:24:00 | 47h 22m | A Dark Maze | Ended up enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would! Simple concept but the controls are nice and the lighting/mood is great. Nice work, seems like you had fun |
| Dec 28 05:29:00 | 5m 00s | LD31 - Catstation - João Marinheiro & Daniel Pereira | Really nice job! It was maybe not an original concept but the execution was really nice. One thing I had a problem with was that because everything was so small, it was hard to understand the collision for my bullets. Perhaps you could be more generous and give me a bigger gun :) |
| Dec 28 05:33:00 | 4m 00s | Chromashift | Wow, super nice!! Great combination of an original concept and nice, simple, effective graphics and sound. Good good stuff, you guys! |
| Dec 28 05:39:00 | 6m 00s | The Box | Nice puzzles! Felt a bit like Portal at times. Seems like you've got the right idea with developing the systems but the polish and the sequencing of the levels could use some more work. Cool stuff though |
| Dec 28 05:41:00 | 2m 00s | Farm for Space | Nice idea but there's a lot of stuff that is annoying for the player in the game. If you can smooth that stuff over with a re-design, plus spruce up the audio-visual side of things your next game could be cool. |
| Dec 28 05:46:00 | 5m 00s | Jeff The Pink Penguin | Link was broken for me too but I went to the parent web site and played. <br/> <br/>Pretty nice! Powerups add a nice variety to the game. I don't mind the tank controls, reminds me of Resident Evil haha. But yeah, the game was fun, if not original. Would love to see your next game with more graphics and sound too! |
| Dec 28 05:52:00 | 6m 00s | Animal Roar | Aw man, the graphics and sound are so great in this one. But there are just too many questionable things going on in the game design. Very frustrating to play, but I do loooooove the art |
| Dec 29 23:30:00 | 41h 38m | Super Start World | Pretty funny! Slightly familiar concept but you did well by it. Art of the Manjual was great too. Pretty good voice for all the writing. Sound would be lovely |
