| Apr 21 19:15:00 | TeleFrag | Pretty good game. The mechanic is fun and controls are solid. Fits the theme well too! <br/> <br/>One thing though - after I beat the boss(?) the game crashed. <br/>"Invoking error handler due to <br/>uncaught exception: 16204368 - Exception catching is disabled, this exception cannot be caught. Compile with -s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0 or DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=2 to catch." UnityConfig.js:74:4 <br/> <br/>There was nothing more descriptive in the console unfortunately. Running firefox on Windows 8. Hope that helps | |
| Apr 21 19:25:00 | 10m 00s | Alien Attack | Good game in almost all aspects. Sound and graphics are great. It fits the theme as well. The thing that's a bit lacking is the gameplay (it becomes kind of repetitive). The pumpkin is a good step in the right direction. Some enemy variety as well would really improve this game I feel. |
| Apr 21 19:41:00 | 16m 00s | GraviSniper | The coolest game I've tried so far. As Blobo said, a sniper weapon is pretty conventional, but the gravity field thing is really unique (at least afaik :-). <br/> <br/>Some feedback regarding the level structure : I would like to have seen a really easy level for each gravity bubble type. At first I was really confused as to which color did what. Even the help on the startscreen doesn't cover it. So something like the first level only having a blue bubble, and the second only having a purple one. Then you can take what is currently the first level as the third one. This should teach the player the rules without overwhelming him/her. <br/> <br/>Also, I beat the game (I think) and got back to the first level. I guess the goal of the game is to gather as many points as possible. While it does add to the length of the game, I don't think it really benefits from it. Better keep it short and sweet in my option. <br/> <br/>Reading my review now I sound quite negative :-P but I'm not! It was a good game! Sound, controls and graphics are good. And the idea is excellent! We have enough platformers in LD, it's nice to see something new. |
| Apr 21 19:54:00 | 13m 00s | The Awesome Jelly | So much potential here! Multiple abilities, good sound, really nice graphics and solid controls. However the game is crippled by the levels. I beat all of them and honestly they were basically the same. An unorganized mess of platforms and characters moving about. Also, there doesn't seem to be and real difficulty curve. It begins "kinda hard" and then just stays there. <br/> <br/>Also, it is really overwhelming to be given 6 abilities at the start of the game. The game needs at least 6 more levels, and each level should unlock one ability. Teach the player why the various abilities are useful and how they interact. I beat the game more or less only by using the super jump as I felt no need to use anything else. Perhaps I could have beaten it easier using some of the other abilities, but the game hadn't taught me to use them! After the various mechanics have been explained you can throw out the big levels filled with enemies. <br/> <br/>TL;DR: really good game in all aspects except level design and pacing. |
| Apr 21 20:13:00 | 19m 00s | Solar Tycoon | This game looks like it's really good but I'm sad to say I really can't figure it out. I installed solar panels on ~half the houses and then ran out of money. How do you earn money? <br/> <br/>The game looks great and I love these types of games, but some sort of tutorial is sorely needed because currently it is just confusing. |
| Apr 21 20:24:00 | 11m 00s | Color Commander | Great game! Quite simple, but it seems most great LD games are simple. I can imagine this being a ton of fun as a multiplayer game. Imagine yelling at your friends in the couch to "stop stealing my f#ยค"ing guys" :-). If you have any plans of post-LD work, I highly suggest looking into getting gamepad+multiplayer support. Theres room for multiple maps, powerups and more as well if you feel like turning it into a full game. I'd probably buy it as I'm a big fan of couch-multiplayer games. |
| Apr 21 20:35:00 | 11m 00s | Defence the castle of dreams | Dude, what is up with your color palette? :P <br/> <br/>Really nice game. Excellent fit to the theme and great game overall. Not a big fan of the graphics but it worked. |
| Apr 22 18:03:00 | 21h 28m | Threesome | My feedback is pretty much what everyone else has already said - the game looks great and it seems like a cool concept, but controls and physics get in the way of my enjoying it :( |
| Apr 22 18:31:00 | 28m 00s | Aqua Marine | Great game! Bonuis points for actually teaching me about the weapons before diving (heh) into the difficult levels. Many LD games skip the tutorial part for some reason. <br/> <br/>Controls were great, weapon &enemy variety was great, graphics was great & sound was good. I also really like that you managed to add an optional "hard mode" with the pearls. My only real negative feedback is that I'm not sure how unconventional guns are as weapons. I guess they are underwater bubble-blasting guns, but still :). |
| Apr 22 18:44:00 | 13m 00s | The ball jump beat against the spoon | I'm not really sure what I just played. Almost felt like holding/pressing left/right didn't do anything. Some sort of tutorial where there isn't tons of stuff on the screen would be nice. <br/> <br/>The music was really good though! |
| Apr 23 18:16:00 | 23h 32m | Shield of Light | It's remarkable how close this game is to one of the ideas my group had while brainstorming at the beginning of this LD :-) <br/> <br/>The game plays great, and both graphics & sound are excellent. Theme adaptation is perfect! Perhaps it got a little to difficult early on though. Add a few more easy waves at the beginning and you've got yourself a solid game! |
| Apr 23 18:30:00 | 14m 00s | Vodka | Definite 5 in humor department, and I guess it fits the theme. Not sure if this counts as a game though :p |
| Apr 23 18:37:00 | 7m 00s | Out Of Mind | The only game I've given a 5 in mood this LD! Great game. Very intteresting interpretation of the theme :-) |
| Apr 24 19:08:00 | 24h 31m | Stick To Your Guns | The spellcasting reminds me of magica, kinda cool idea but a long way to go |
| Apr 24 19:18:00 | 10m 00s | BlueBlaze | Got it running on explorer. Quite good, a bit hard to feel that you were in control; like intentionally blocking of enemies, to me they were all over the place |
| Apr 24 19:35:00 | 17m 00s | GLOV3.1 | Liked it a lot! Excellent idea! |
| Apr 24 19:45:00 | 10m 00s | The Grey Gun | Nice! I had a hard time not taking damage which made it hard to get anywhere though. |
