Aug 25 19:19:00 Treatment and Control Really nice atmosphere and great pixel art!
Aug 25 20:22:00 1h 03m Combover Monster Campaign Manager This is amazing. Excellent use of the theme.
Aug 25 20:23:00 1m 00s Synergistic Management Solutions Really cool visual styles.
Aug 28 23:17:00 74h 54m Sunset Monster The game play is decent, nothing groundbreaking. Pretty simple idea. It is a bit unclear how things are supposed to work and what is going on. The hard mode is definitely hard and the enemy attacks are innovative. It was decent.
Aug 28 23:43:00 26m 00s Trick Parade Works pretty well with everything. I wasn't blown away but I got some laughs out of it and it was pretty fun. I could not beat the ghost dog so the mini games can be pretty difficult even though there are not that many of them.
Aug 28 23:54:00 11m 00s Over The Course Of A Day It did play for me, but some of the scenes were glitchy and unresponsive. It was an all right idea. The best parts were the humor and look of it.
Aug 29 00:05:00 11m 00s Storm the Castle I may not really be the best for this because I do not have a lot of patience for this kind of thing. Instructions were pretty vague but it is fairly easy to figure out. There is not really a lot of fun to be had because things move pretty fast. My advice, slow things down A LOT. You need to be given time to learn what enemies are capable of as well as what your own guys can do. You are just thrown into it. That does not work well. Games like these for a competition I have found don't end up working.
Sep 1 03:26:00 75h 21m Maiden Voyage Overall, enjoyed this! I didn't manage to get all six without damage, so I guess I don't get a cookie, but I did finish the level! Fun premise and great integration with the theme!
Sep 1 16:11:00 12h 45m Hero Mate Awesome use of the theme!
Sep 1 16:27:00 16m 00s Cant i just stretch my neck peacefully ? Pretty fun! I like the controls.
Sep 1 16:50:00 23m 00s Send them to Hell! I really enjoyed this - I wish there had been more levels! :) <br/>The music and sounds were fun, and the theme integration was perfect. Well done!
Sep 1 16:58:00 8m 00s The Cauldron of Humanity I made it to level 4. Getting additional points was pretty hard, and I wasn't sure what the difference was between the different creatures I could spawn vs. spells I could cast, but the graphics/vibe was cool.
Sep 1 17:03:00 5m 00s Monster Pizza Super idea and really funny!
Sep 1 17:05:00 2m 00s Give My Egg Back ! You Monster ! Beat i! Had a fun time playing - this reminded me of some old school games I played when I was kid. The ticking clock / race aspect of it was a good challenge.
Sep 1 17:13:00 8m 00s I Hunger Very creative and well-written. I got the genocide ending and the forgotten ending. The ability to easily "undo" and go back is helpful and makes the experience more entertaining. Great work!
Sep 5 02:56:00 81h 43m Death Maze Pretty good, I liked the idea and everything worked well enough. No real challenge, but as far as concept goes, fairly solid.
Sep 5 03:09:00 13m 00s Who's The Monster I dug this. One of the better shooters I have played so far. Two things make it really stand out, flipping the camera and having you shoot from the other side, that worked really well, and the variety in enemies. Different attacks might have been nice too or maybe enemies that take 2+ shots to take down. Intersting idea that you can not just dodge a tank.
Sep 5 03:28:00 19m 00s Aglæca This was really good. I would like to play a full version. The details in the intro and close are great. It is hard to really say what I would like to see more of as unfinished as it is, but maybe just more interaction with the map.
Sep 5 03:37:00 9m 00s Monster Doodle Battle! Perfect! This is fantastic. The computer was pretty unbeatable for me without a gamepad not being used to a keyboard but it hardly mattered. The drawings worked so well and looked so good as combinations. I thought it was really cool.
Sep 5 03:51:00 14m 00s Urd Monster Good looking game. I think it could be good, but I could not get very far because I kept getting stuck. The sprite could not move anywhere. The graphics are great, but I wish it could have been a bit lighter although I think I see what you were going for with the flashlights. That was cool. I like the sprites.
Sep 5 04:09:00 18m 00s M.O.N.ST.E.R Much better than I thought when I had started. It kind of reminded me of the stunt tracks in the old Rush games. I like this kind of thing. The hovercraft like physics were hard getting used to but still fun. You could just spend more time messing around than actually accomplishing anything. Having your successful runs timed is a good idea. I do have to knock it down for not going along with the theme at all. Some more sounds would be nice to. A racing game without engine noise is pretty strange.
Sep 11 21:56:00 161h 47m GH4ST Super cool. I love the premise here. The only level was really great and I think it is neat taking a concept that already exists, that pacman ghosts already have behaviors you can use, and turning it into a new puzzle game. If the content were there, I could see myself playing this a lot.
Sep 11 22:13:00 17m 00s Mobs, Inc. This is good, but really hard. I got the first promotion and was really close to the second. I think I would have done better had I been using my trackball mouse. The humor was great and it looked cool too. Everything was well crafted. I am very impressed. I will probably come back to retry it.
Sep 11 22:24:00 11m 00s Orange Squares...Beware! Very innovative and thought out design. I like the new idea, it just does not flow all that well. It is pretty clunky but the soundtrack fits and effects are nice. The minimalism is cool, but all the clicking and holding I find not to make very good gameplay. I think I see what you were doing with the theme, but not much there.
Sep 11 22:43:00 19m 00s Who cares the M%rtgage Not much game in this game. It was funny and looked pretty nice. Comes off a bit preachy, but I am not in much of a position to throw stones.
Sep 11 23:09:00 26m 00s Delicious Cortex My overall mark for judging games is how long it can keep me playing without me feeling like I need to keep playing. Every time I resurrected, it was because I wanted to, not because of a sense of obligation. It was easy to learn, but got difficult fast. I spent a long time on the purgatory alone and I thought for sure that would be the last level, but there was at least one more and I could not get past it.
Sep 11 23:18:00 9m 00s Bus Crush A game so nice I played it twice. I showed my wife and she slapped me.
Sep 11 23:30:00 12m 00s Takodemon I really want to like this game, but I have to confess I can not get very far in level two. It looks like a great idea, but I am not good enough on the key board or I just don't get it. The effect is that it is not much fun for me. Everything else is great though. I think the music in particular is excellent.
Sep 11 23:58:00 28m 00s RGBlob I don't want to repeat all the great things people are already saying I am sure I agree with all of it. I get confused though beacause only some of the blobs can absorb other ones it seems. Also, the level with where you carry the block on your head was confusing, a demonstration or diagram for that ability would have been nice and some way to indicate when leaving a switch will return the blockade and when it won't would be helpful. Everything else, amazing.
Sep 12 02:06:00 2h 08m Monstre de Coiffure Great super great. Everyone has already said everything.
Sep 12 02:25:00 19m 00s Me The treasure is obviously in the art. I liked the atmosphere and everything, but it ran really slow for me.
Sep 12 02:38:00 13m 00s Anxiety : Last Night That was a pretty good scare. It really got me in the nearly wet my pants kind of category. Atmosphere is amazing.
Sep 13 16:33:00 37h 55m Death of a Lich Pretty good game, difficult, strategic, easy to understand, broody, droning, atmospheric sound. Pretty swell.
Sep 13 16:44:00 11m 00s Grave Garden variety hack and slash. What sets it apart is the look. Incredible design, but the same take as a lot of people are doing with the theme. Nothing original there. Controls felt unresponsive at points. Despite some of its shortcomings, it was really quite fun. The control setup though was fluid and intuitive. Could be much better if made into a more dimensional streets of rage style brawler.
Sep 13 17:11:00 27m 00s The Loved Ones No need to point out the repetitive nature and such. That is obvious. Obviously a compelling story telling technique. The drawings and design is fantastic. A small problem I guess you might call it is that due to the tedium I wanted to lose more times and see the effects so the story could advance and be done with it, but it feels morbid because of the nature of what is happening. It is a good way to communicate an ideal though.
