|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 9 21:42:00 | 180° Past Pluto | Controls are tough, but graphics are slick. The avatar/ball is particularly cool. | |
| Dec 9 21:53:00 | 11m 00s | Retro Fairground | Haha, pretty ridiculous to play! My partner and I could barely keep track of what was happening. The idea is pretty funny though. |
| Dec 9 21:56:00 | 3m 00s | Operation Barrage | Neat! I only tried the hot seat mode, but I like the idea. Reminds me of a top-down version of Cannon Brawl. |
| Dec 9 22:00:00 | 4m 00s | Starring Annika | Cute graphics and theme. Hilarious voice-over. The game itself is pretty well polished! |
| Dec 9 22:08:00 | 8m 00s | Bionic Bliss | Great production values! Very polished theming, writing, and graphics. I played it "straight" and gave helpful answers, so it felt a little rote. Maybe I should go back and give more smartass replies. |
| Dec 9 22:09:00 | 1m 00s | Get Out | Nice mood with the lighting and music. Would like to see where you take this! |
| Dec 9 22:15:00 | 6m 00s | Alchemist Tower | I love how the screens went up and around the tower. I'm playing on a laptop, so right-clicking for secondary weapons was tricky. Once I got a projectile weapon, the green enemies became a little trivial and boring to defeat. Lots of content and polish for a jam. Great job! |
| Dec 9 22:17:00 | 2m 00s | SchneeMannschaft | Controls are pretty rough, but I like the somber mood. Not something you normally associate with soccer. Oh, maybe the ball is a snowman head? That would justify the mood. |
| Dec 9 22:20:00 | 3m 00s | Super Screen Saver | Very fun! The screen tearing as a saving mechanic is nice. Good job signaling the danger zones. |
| Dec 9 23:28:00 | 1h 08m | Crab with Tentacles | Haha, so weird! Definitely get points for creativeness. Love the surreal theme, too. |
| Dec 10 03:11:00 | 3h 43m | Hectic! | Very difficult! I think the loose player controls make it feel kind of out of my control. Compare to a brutal difficulty like Super Meat Boy where the controls are very tight, but the levels are super difficult. Basically, in your game, I feel like the game is screwing me over rather than me making mistakes. |
| Dec 10 05:30:00 | 2h 19m | Slam Dunkin's Beat The Crap Out Of Everybody | Haha, pretty funny! I like these games with slapstick movement borne of physics-based controls. |
| Dec 10 05:38:00 | 8m 00s | I Am Technician | Hilarious setting, nice graphics. The controls are super clumsy, and I guess that's the point. I managed to get the computer case open to find the cat, and that cracked me up. Nice job! |
| Dec 10 05:42:00 | 4m 00s | SMAX | Interesting control scheme, and quite playable! I like the boiled-down time-management/plate-juggling mechanic. |
| Dec 10 05:51:00 | 9m 00s | A Link Between Screens | Really clever mechanic! I could see you building out a great game based on it. Definitely some usability/polish things to be worked out, but that's to be expected for a weekend jam. Nice work! |
| Dec 10 05:57:00 | 6m 00s | PaintBoxWars | Interesting graphics! I could only stand a few minutes of it, but I liked how you turned a common glitch into your aesthetic. I almost wish the game was more "normal" at first and then got trippy once I was sucked in. Nice job! |
| Dec 10 06:03:00 | 6m 00s | Save the Giant | Gorgeous art and mood! I think you know the controls are nigh-unplayable, but it's still very evocative and the animations are pretty polished. Worth working on. I'd love to see more of the giant than their thighs! |
| Dec 10 06:10:00 | 7m 00s | SIRTET | Great mechanic, very fun. Simple and polished. Great work! |
| Dec 11 01:43:00 | 19h 33m | Trench War | Love the premise of building under fire. I was a little confused at times-- the connection between my building mortars and machine guns and any success vs. the enemy was lost on me. It definitely felt dangerous sending my soldiers out. Great job! |
| Dec 11 04:28:00 | 2h 45m | Tight Angle | Nice, tense gameplay. The zooming out mechanic is neat. Great job! |
| Dec 11 04:32:00 | 4m 00s | Gone Pondin' | Hey, interesting controls for a fishing game. I eventually caught one fish, but it was a little frustrating trying to time things. Wasn't sure what the logs and lilypads were for, either. Anyway, it was nice and playable. Good job! |
| Dec 11 04:41:00 | 9m 00s | Save The Cities | Nice retro graphics. The cool down time on the silos is an interesting riff off of Missile Command. Weird that the game kept going after my silos were blown up. Just had to wait until the cities got killed. Nice job though! |
| Dec 11 04:46:00 | 5m 00s | Helga Kills Everything | Haha, hilarious! I cracked up when the bear came out. Super cool to hear it was a family collaboration. Great job! |
| Dec 11 04:53:00 | 7m 00s | Sweep Stacks | Great audio and mood. Clever mechanic with the "Sweep" buttons. Very polished, although I had trouble starting a standard match a couple times (got stuck in the help). Ended up having to start a challenge mode and click the "try standard" button when I died. Great job! |
| Dec 11 05:24:00 | 31m 00s | RGB Shooter | Clever take on the color-switching mechanic. Pretty difficult having to juggle 3 ships. Nice job! |
| Dec 11 18:23:00 | 12h 59m | Tavern King | I like the concept! A fun take on cooking games. I definitely felt a lack of feedback though. Visualizing the cooking progress, dwarves getting hungry/full, etc. might help make it feel like a bustling hall that you're managing. Great job! |
| Dec 11 22:03:00 | 3h 40m | Alpha Circuit | Nice! I like the teleportation mechanic to circumvent enemies. Very clever. Great ambience and polish, too. The Ui screen transition (with all the squares) is neat looking but really slow, especially when you're forced to watch it several times in a row. Great job! |
| Dec 11 22:57:00 | 54m 00s | Demons Trial | Awesome! Very polished and playable. Had a lot of fun. |
| Dec 11 23:32:00 | 35m 00s | Baguette Quest | Adorable premise, and fun gameplay. Nice job! |
| Dec 12 03:25:00 | 3h 53m | Guard Duty | Great job creating a tense mood. The safe/dangerous mechanic felt a little confusing to me, but the game kept my attention nonetheless. I think I saw a creepy full-screen ghost in there at one point? That was cool. If not, you made the game creepy enough that I imagined it. ;) |
| Dec 12 05:14:00 | 1h 49m | A Very Short Age of Very Small Empires | Wow, really impressive! Lots of detailed features and very playable for a game jam. Nice job! |
| Dec 12 05:33:00 | 19m 00s | At Last, This Will Be Our Final Battle | Pretty fun! You made a pretty decent turn-based RPG in a weekend! Took me a while to finally notice all the textfields (especially the textfields), so for about half the battle I wasn't picking up on all the feedback. Nice job though! |
| Dec 12 05:35:00 | 2m 00s | Rememba the Path | Nice! Interesting take on the memory game genre. I sucked at it. ;) <br/> <br/>Impressive that you got high scores in. Great job! |
| Dec 13 20:51:00 | 39h 16m | A Terrible Place to Raise Children | Really, really solid entry. I wish the economics of the metal and energy were a little more transparent-- I was often surprised how quickly my guns ran out of energy, or how much things cost in metal. Strong core though, great polish. |
| Dec 17 03:19:00 | 78h 28m | MACHO KNIGHT | Cute graphics, great music! Not sure about the left/right mouse button controls. It's kind of a pain on my Mac's touchpad. Would just as soon use arrow keys. <br/> <br/>Great job! |
| Dec 17 04:38:00 | 1h 19m | Shifting Dungeon | Great premise with the shifting map. The combat got a little boring, but I think the concept is a great foundation to build on. Great work! |
