| Dec 8 13:18:00 | Coloured Ink | I did not understand the rules, but I love hexagonal board games! | |
| Dec 8 13:29:00 | 11m 00s | Twisted Fantasie | Confusing. Some kind of tutorial instead of long list of instructions would be nice. |
| Dec 8 13:37:00 | 8m 00s | Release the Yeti | The funniest interpretation of the theme so far. The game taking place in one screen as well as on the virtual cinema screen gives this extra points. I would definitely like to play an improved version with goals and progression. |
| Dec 8 13:44:00 | 7m 00s | ScreenArena | Loved the gore. If you ever plan to do post-LD version, set the aiming to be separate action from moving. For example put the movement to WASD and aiming to mouse. I also liked the progression element - do I heal myself now or increase my attack/defense for future? |
| Dec 8 14:02:00 | 18m 00s | Upgrade Zero | The game is quite easy because the enemies slow down when they get closer to the player. :) I played through several waves before surrendering myself to death. <br/> <br/>Some improvement notes if you plan to develop this further: There is no option to quit the game, which is a bit annoying if you are playing in full screen. If I cleared a wave quickly I was left wandering around for a long time before next wave appeared. Some kind of cooldown period for the weapon could be nice so the player would not be able just to keep the space down. |
| Dec 8 14:12:00 | 10m 00s | Oven | My first thought of this was that this is game in the vein of Surgeon Simulator - my dishes flew all over the place and finally through the back wall. My oven door seems also to be broken. <br/> <br/>Fun experiment. Calling it a game is a bit of stretch though. |
| Dec 9 08:09:00 | 17h 57m | Dogs Peeing Everywhere | Funny theme! However, I was having control issues with the web version. At times the dog became unresponsive and continued to keep running to the edge of screen. That being said, I have never before played a peeing dog. :) |
| Dec 9 08:18:00 | 9m 00s | GraviFlip | Nice graphics and audio. I liked the mechanics, but for me this is too hard right from the start. I really did not like the space bots, I would have never understood how to beat them without the explanation. |
| Dec 9 08:36:00 | 18m 00s | Channel Surfing | The dancer/fitness instructor on channel 4 gave me a big grin. Funny take on the theme and I would have wanted to see more channels. |
| Dec 9 20:56:00 | 12h 20m | Murder on Stage | I think this is my first adventure game experience in LD. Hopefully you finish this so it can be solved! |
| Dec 9 21:01:00 | 5m 00s | Killine | Frustrating and too fast for me. But this game has this strange "I must try again" even if it means repeating the level over and over again. |
| Dec 9 21:08:00 | 7m 00s | Snowman vs Chesspieces | Well, this was original. I liked the card mechanics, but moving and shooting with the keyboard was quite cumbersome. I still have mixed feelings from this game. |
| Dec 9 21:24:00 | 16m 00s | Elf Fight | This was nice. Simple and well enough executed. There just is no challenge. Set the the elf balls to give some damage to Santa and you have a small, decent and challenging LD game in your hands. |
| Dec 9 21:33:00 | 9m 00s | Frosty Ninja | I wasn't swag enough. |
| Dec 10 20:10:00 | 22h 37m | Disco Kitty Nightmare | Grooviest music I've encountered in this LD so far. :) |
| Dec 10 20:16:00 | 6m 00s | Lights Out | Dark twisted Christmas shooter. Nice music and artwork, but gameplay-wise this was a little dull and unpolished. |
| Dec 10 20:26:00 | 10m 00s | Snowball Escape | Simple game and too hard for me (does the opponent have a snowball machinegun? :). However, from the theme you get 5 points. AwesomeNuclearMonkey already pointed out most of the things I would've complained so I don't repeat them here. |
| Dec 10 20:43:00 | 17m 00s | Press Space | 42 points at first try. Because it is an ultimate answer to life, universe and everything, I won't try to get a better score. Nice concept and cool audio! |
| Dec 10 20:53:00 | 10m 00s | Maze Race | This must be the most frustrating LD game I've ever played. Congratulations, if that was you purpose. <br/> <br/>I am not against hard games which need a lot of repetition to master but come on, has someone really got that maze through? |
| Dec 10 20:59:00 | 6m 00s | Drunk Ninja Vs Alien | It never ceases to amaze what kind of bizarre gems one can find when going through LD entries. This has been one of the funniest games I've played. I loved the music and the use of slow-mo. It would have been nice to have more control over the character, though. |
| Dec 10 21:13:00 | 14m 00s | ¡MEMORY! | Well, it's a memory game. I have also programmed a memory game for my niece a couple of years ago. I really like encounters like this in LD. The game itself is nothing special but sometimes its nice to make games like this if you know you have an audience for it. |
| Dec 10 21:26:00 | 13m 00s | Boing! | Simple does not always mean easy. When I read the introduction I was thinking along the lines "not again, I've seen my share of generic platformers over the years". However, this entry was pleasantly different. <br/> <br/>It has simple gameplay mechanics but man, it is addictive, hard and frustrating (but in a positive way). |
| Dec 10 21:40:00 | 14m 00s | Polyfill | Very calm and meditative. One of the best games I've played in this LD so far. Good as it is. Maybe it would get even better with polishing? |
| Dec 10 21:52:00 | 12m 00s | 2D Physics Playscape | Nice little physics toy. |
| Dec 11 15:20:00 | 17h 28m | Dead Pixels | These are the fastest dead pixels I've ever seen! Nice concept and it fits perfectly to the theme. I would have also liked to see some feedback when you kill an enemy. The controls had a bit lag, was it intended? |
| Dec 11 15:23:00 | 3m 00s | ProtoBot | All I get is a black screen. I heard sounds, though. Too bad, I would've wanted to play this. I'll give this another shot with more powerful computer during the weekend. |
| Dec 11 15:37:00 | 14m 00s | Daedal | My brain hurts! |
| Dec 12 15:41:00 | 24h 04m | Snow Shoot! | The music was indeed terrible. :) The game was quite sluggish in my computer. Otherwise this is quite nice result for 6 hour work. |
| Dec 12 15:55:00 | 14m 00s | Super Hide And Seek | I lasted 53 seconds. The could be more fun with little tweaks. Currently enemies spawn randomly to the playing area, at times they spawn directly on top of the player and take instantly one life. Adding sounds and background music would be cool also. Bullets and enemies should not go through obstacles. However, this is a good start. |
| Dec 12 16:04:00 | 9m 00s | Board Ball | Good job considering your age! I could make a goal just by moving my player towards the ball repeatedly. Programming a good AI system is hard. I hope you continue developing this and learn a lot of new things while doing it. |
| Dec 12 16:20:00 | 16m 00s | SUPER BOMB SHOOTER 48 | The audio with beating techno music and loud explosion effects were obviously missing. Of course a game like this needs a crosshair-shaped cursor. I liked the concept progression. Waiting for the next upgrade kept me playing. What I didn't like was the constant mouse clicking, especially when you needed multiple hits to down one bomb. |
| Dec 12 16:33:00 | 13m 00s | Lombom | Nice idea, took me a couple of plays to understand how to play. Some kind of feedback of your button presses would be good. |
| Dec 12 16:49:00 | 16m 00s | Richard Bruck in the Dark | Nice graphics and theme. However, the small hotspots with no visual assistance are quite annoying. |
| Dec 12 16:59:00 | 10m 00s | Rainbow-Maze | I wanted to like this game so much. However, the slippery controls and character which bounces off the walls were annoying. If the player movement had been grid based like the rest of the game, I definitely would have played this through. |
| Dec 12 17:11:00 | 12m 00s | Moose Meat | Nice artwork and music. Time limit was quite unforgiving, I did ragequit in level 4. I liked the slippery ice in level 3! |
| Dec 14 09:05:00 | 39h 54m | Galvatross | Nice one screen retro platformer with difficult controls. |
| Dec 14 09:31:00 | 26m 00s | Ricochet Heroes | I had to play this through. This was fun! Loved the audio and the humor. |
| Dec 14 09:39:00 | 8m 00s | Two Steps from Darkness | I loved the art style. Dynamically changing map is a cool idea. With sounds and music it would be more captivating. |
| Dec 14 09:50:00 | 11m 00s | Organ Crush Saga | Well, it's a match 3 game with organs. Probably fun to play if you are into the genre. |
| Dec 14 10:02:00 | 12m 00s | A Fine White Line | Idea and art style were top-notch. First I was a bit confused what to do and how to play, even after reading the instructions. The UI wasn't intuitive for me. The game is intense and I'd really like to see this to be expanded to a full game. |
| Dec 14 10:12:00 | 10m 00s | SnowCard | Bit confusing at the start. After understanding the idea the game became quite dull. |
| Dec 14 10:22:00 | 10m 00s | Escape Character | Fun! I liked it a lot. I'd also like to see this becoming a full game. |
| Dec 14 18:49:00 | 8h 27m | Unfinished Archaeology | Not sure what this is about. Some background explanation would be nice. :) I spent some time shaking rocks on the screen, though. |
| Dec 15 19:26:00 | 24h 37m | Summoning of the Santa | Fun, stylish and super smooth puzzle game. Looks and sounds fantastic. You know your stuff. :) |
| Dec 15 19:40:00 | 14m 00s | Laundry Day | Very fun and very boring at the same time. Bravo! |
| Dec 15 19:55:00 | 15m 00s | Last Line of Defense | I love tower defense games. First I thought this was too easy it nicely progressed more harder. I survived 7:26. |
| Dec 16 19:26:00 | 23h 31m | The Ball | Simple and addictive. I had to try several times to get a better score. Keeping the ball on the screen is quite tricky, especially if it bounces quickly from the hoop. |
| Dec 16 19:31:00 | 5m 00s | 2048 Souls | Idea was nice. The game itself became quite repeating and boring after a while. |
| Dec 16 19:39:00 | 8m 00s | Shinobi Showdown | I tried to press H at the title screen and nothing happened. Then I tried to play the game but I didn't understand the controls. Is there any way to go back to help screen once you are in the game? |
| Dec 16 19:49:00 | 10m 00s | Sweet Dreams Bear | Cute and sweet. I loved it. |
| Dec 16 19:57:00 | 8m 00s | Law Breaker | Grand Theft Pacman. Nice. |
| Dec 16 22:07:00 | 2h 10m | Fill the bar | This is awesome. The 3D "secret" after dull button pushing is mind-blowing. :) Some dialogue lines are also very funny. |
| Dec 16 22:19:00 | 12m 00s | Greeny GRUB | Reminds a bit of my game in this LD: Avoid the red ones! For a simple game this is surprisingly hard. |
| Dec 16 22:29:00 | 10m 00s | Moonlit Crawlers | Nice artwork and concept! The lack of sound is the most biggest issue. Enchanted version fixes that and other problems as well, but I am still rating the compo version. |
| Dec 16 22:37:00 | 8m 00s | Microscope | The graphics, sound, gameplay and mood combine this game more than sum of its parts. I liked it a lot. |
| Dec 16 22:48:00 | 11m 00s | Our Last Hope | I played the Windows version. I must admit that the music is quite frankly horrible. The player blob is cool, I cannot really comment the game because I didn't really understand what I should do... |
| Dec 16 23:05:00 | 17m 00s | The Paper Dance | Not much a game here. This is more like a piece of beautiful art with some game elements. Still I liked it a lot. |
| Dec 22 14:11:00 | 135h 06m | Clickity Click | This was simple and fun, but too easy. I haven't tried the post-jam version yet. |
| Dec 22 14:59:00 | 48m 00s | Snowman Ski Jump | I really didn't understand this until I re-read the instructions. There is not much to play, but I get the idea. |
| Dec 22 15:13:00 | 14m 00s | Mutable | Too damn hard for me. Music is quite disturbing. |
| Dec 22 17:15:00 | 2h 02m | Sumo Si | There's nothing to do. |
| Dec 22 18:35:00 | 1h 20m | duck.exe | This game gave me real WTF moments. Masterpiece! |
| Dec 22 18:42:00 | 7m 00s | Noel's Christmas Nightmare | I killed the snowman. :( |
| Dec 23 22:34:00 | 27h 52m | Follow the screen | This was original and amusing. |
| Dec 23 22:42:00 | 8m 00s | Kiwi | I really liked this game. Music is awesome and fits to game nicely. This is also hard, which is a good thing. |
| Dec 23 22:50:00 | 8m 00s | Winter is Nigh! | Looks cute but is too damn hard. The enemies are really fast and strong. I always seem to die in round 3... |
| Dec 23 23:05:00 | 15m 00s | Kuch Bhi ! | Pong where you control the ball instead of paddles. Nicely done, but quickly starts to repeat itself. |
| Dec 23 23:11:00 | 6m 00s | Much Ado About Pirates | The game is optimized for right handed people. As a leftie this was quite a challenge. |
| Dec 23 23:21:00 | 10m 00s | Desert Strike | I'm stuck in the "Play Tutorial?" screen. |
| Dec 23 23:23:00 | 2m 00s | AZOR | Graphics are nice, but I don't see how this fits to the theme. |
| Dec 24 00:37:00 | 1h 14m | Squareon | Simple but fun. This would be a nice mobile game. Hopefully colorblind friendly version is also in the works. |
