| Aug 24 01:27:00 | Monster Positioning System | Looks very neat! | |
| Aug 24 08:09:00 | 6h 42m | Eye of the Basilisk | Cool little idea nicely done. Didn't encounter bugs. The graphics are fitting. |
| Aug 25 09:33:00 | 25h 24m | Road To Hell | 678m! Nice game. Good responsiveness to the controls and a fair amount of variety and a good amount of content. I liked the police cars that came to chase. There was some odd behaviour from the civilian cars as they would drive through obstacles. The music got a bit repetitive. One time the 'Play again' button didn't show up. |
| Aug 25 16:33:00 | 7h 00m | Adula | Beautiful, beautiful small game. Could easily imagine this developing into a nice little adventure. |
| Aug 25 20:38:00 | 4h 05m | Sky-Worlds | Felt like a nice throwback to the 90s! I like the ambitious depth and the very notion of being in charge of your own world ship generally speaking but I didn't feel it matched the jam theme that well. I had some fun in trying to find a balance between finding new worlds to exploit and keeping restlessness at bay. I wasn't able to win the game, nor lose it, and having bottomed out on happiness seemed ultimately to not matter that much. Could do with better guidance and more of a direction for gameplay but I'd be happy to see this game develop and get more balanced. |
| Aug 25 20:44:00 | 6m 00s | Burglar Basher | Nice looking and sounding game! Fits the theme but is quite simple, not very challenging. Nice to be able to move on from crashes using Ctrl. |
| Aug 25 20:49:00 | 5m 00s | Gargoyle Simulator | Nice art! Works just fine but needs to be made more challenging. Good work in the time you had. |
| Aug 25 20:55:00 | 6m 00s | Project Jumpius | Indeed a very polished game with a neat core mechanic. Most complete out of the half dozen I have tried so far. Have to respect taking an idea for a jam and polishing it well - I find it quite challenging myself! Throwing helicopters out of the sky is fun. Would have been nice to have more buildings or vertical levels to play with. |
| Aug 25 21:04:00 | 9m 00s | Forlorn | I clicked Creator and nothing happened! Certainly fits the theme, is obviously quite dark and has apt, good art. Could be developed further. |
| Aug 25 21:07:00 | 3m 00s | Bad Kaiju Ju | Solid retro! Easy to beat but love the fidelity to the theme and nostalgia. |
| Aug 25 21:33:00 | 26m 00s | The Wrath of Gandhi | Very nice! Such a complete game befitting the theme. The endgame is a bit painful as tends to be the case in 4x games but the completeness of this entry is very impressive. |
| Aug 25 21:37:00 | 4m 00s | Poust | Nice game, theme notwithstanding. Losing momentum is really quite bad and it's easy then to slip back down quite a lot. Do like the ability to reverse direction and gain speed with a wall jump. |
| Aug 25 21:41:00 | 4m 00s | Prowl | Nice aesthetic! The mood is good and the player artwork and heartbeat sounds especially add to it. Feels like this desperately needs just some more content to make it more challenging. Good entry. |
| Aug 25 22:00:00 | 19m 00s | My Cup of Fury | Good little game! Nice art and interpretation of the theme. Quite funny too. Either the level or the controls could be a bit more forgiving. Also I wasn't that keen on the audio. |
| Aug 25 22:14:00 | 14m 00s | Goomba Simulator 2015 | Absolutely excellent. Taking such a classical reversal and then sticking to it so devoutly has paid off handsomely. So many delicious nods and references. Also loved the music! Good job! |
| Aug 25 23:37:00 | 1h 23m | Telepath | Beautiful work, good concept which could have conceivably been linked to the theme too. Something to definitely develop. |
| Aug 25 23:45:00 | 8m 00s | Barrel Roll Ultra! | Very neat! Reversal of a classic - anti-mario games are clearly the way to go. Looks good, plays well, good idea to force the player to dodge barrels too. Nice and complete for 48h effort. |
| Aug 25 23:53:00 | 8m 00s | Alien Plant II | Very satisfying entry. You've done the monster behaviour really rather well, it is a bit slow-moving though. Fun! |
| Aug 26 08:51:00 | 8h 58m | Monster Fighters | Simple but nice game, definitely something to build up further. Given the cool way you can push enemies off the ledge it might be fun to put in more momentum, and make the level a bit more complicated perhaps. Nice work! |
| Aug 26 08:57:00 | 6m 00s | Gleeok | Delicious little game! Perfect scope for a jam, mostly fun to play and the art and music work well together. Enlightening wisdom at the end too. My extra heads kept getting me into trouble! |
| Aug 26 09:10:00 | 13m 00s | Dienasties | I got the idea thanks to the annotations! Got through the game once I understood the principle - it was ultimately quite easy but I feel there is something here to be developed. The notion of mourning affecting morale is good. Kind of fits in with the theme too! Would have been good if the opponents mounted some kind of counter-attacks I thought, so if you can then please develop this further. I liked that spouses could be of any gender. |
| Aug 26 09:24:00 | 14m 00s | Mindvasion | Not massively intuitive but there's quite a neat idea at the base of it. Feels like the idea needs to develop further, there is a good puzzler here somewhere. Should perhaps also be able to jump further along the chain at least when moving. Good music! |
| Aug 26 09:34:00 | 10m 00s | Whoops was that alive? | Got stuck chasing the moon! Nice work in such a brief time, the explosion effect is particularly impressive. Took me a long time to hit the first moon. Some odd directions some of the time when I tried to shoot. Good effort! |
| Aug 26 09:42:00 | 8m 00s | Constrained | Elegant concept and stays fun surprisingly well! Could well imagine a bunch of levels with this mechanic so keep working on it. Shame the concept got scaled back but glad that the end result is fun. Could really do with some kickass retro music. |
| Aug 26 09:49:00 | 7m 00s | What's a monster? | Monsters and robots in space! Pretty cool! |
| Aug 26 09:54:00 | 5m 00s | I AM THE MONSTER | Cool voice acting! I always get swallowed by monsters :( Not quite a game but a fun entry still. |
| Aug 26 10:00:00 | 6m 00s | Ewe are the monster | Tricky! Nice game still, chomping is fun. Love the character animations. Got stuck at the top border one time. Goes fine with the theme. There's another game entered in the jam where you are a monster killing sheep so this is a great counterpart to that. |
| Aug 26 10:07:00 | 7m 00s | Nice Monster | Tricky but got to the end! Man that kid is a dolt. Sounds got pretty grating and could have done with some music but can imagine many more levels of this. Good challenge and nice to be able to restart without any delay. Inspiring me to look at Pico-8, good job! |
| Aug 26 10:13:00 | 6m 00s | The Daily Report | Puts you in an awkward place! Sickening sounds and really does work with the theme. |
| Aug 26 10:21:00 | 8m 00s | Lovers on a Park Bench | Remarkable! I'd rather play this than that other quadrilateral game, thomas block or whatever. Tasty! |
| Aug 26 10:40:00 | 19m 00s | Passengers | Stunningly good and complete serious, topical game. Great use of PICO-8, packs a lot of content in and does it well. Music gets a bit painful. Excellent work! |
| Aug 26 15:56:00 | 5h 16m | Primary objective | Impressive! All that art in such a short span and what an evocative mood overall. Nice throwback to the heyday of point and click. Decent music too. Good work! Was I the monster? |
| Aug 26 21:06:00 | 5h 10m | Storm the Castle pt2 | Looks great and it's well polished but the gameplay isn't fun. Also my screen flickers white now and then, not sure if this is an intentional lightning effect but it was quite disorientating. Wonderful look and feel though. |
| Aug 27 21:34:00 | 24h 28m | Monsters create monsters | Nice! Good art, good humour, dark and monstrous. The basic concept proved more fun than I expected and I happily made my way to the end. |
| Aug 30 17:39:00 | 68h 05m | Carewolf | Great take on the theme, the game is both funny and fun. Think I ate a few too many townspeople... Shame there's no audio! Awesome work |
