| Aug 23 23:54:00 | Around the Waterfall | It is an interesting concept that you have for the game. The graphics in my mind are the most jarring. The colors do not blend very well together. Try using a color palette to make sure your colors work together. <br/> <br/>Other than that I think one thing that would help future games is to make it more obvious what is going on. I wasn't quite sure what was happening when just reading it and I didn't know what to do. <br/> <br/>With a bit more time and work this could turn into a nice game though. | |
| Aug 24 00:04:00 | 10m 00s | Do You Understand ? | The game is cool and the simple graphics work for the concept. With a controller you move as if you are on skates and you can't stop to read the signs which is an important part of the game. I think one improvement would be to hit a key to proceed through the "portal" instead of just walking through it, that way you can stop to read the text. |
| Aug 24 02:18:00 | 2h 14m | Monsters In The Dark (Bugged) | The game will work if you turn it off of full screen mode so that you can click the menu options. <br/> <br/>In the game you run around killing the red blocks. <br/> <br/>Things that could improve this: <br/> <br/>1. I didn't like how I couldn't just use WASD or the arrow keys, but I had to use both to move the character. This felt unneeded. <br/> <br/>2. Better graphics and an explanation for what the red blocks were (I assume people?) would help improve the game. <br/> <br/>3. I wasn't sure what the objective was. I saw the timer running down, but I wasn't sure if the blocks hurt me or I was supposed to run into them. |
| Aug 24 02:25:00 | 7m 00s | Daylight Blobbery | I really enjoyed this game! It was quite fun to run around and eating all of the humans. <br/> <br/>Things I liked: <br/> <br/>1. The graphics were very well done for such a short time period. <br/> <br/>2. The controls were easy to use. <br/> <br/>3. I like how you grow in size. <br/> <br/>Things I didn't like: <br/> <br/>1. I think the camera should automatically follow where you are going, like a third person camera. It was a bit annoying to have to move the camera around manually. <br/> <br/>2. The sprites sometimes turned away from the camera. It seems like they should always face the camera (sometimes they turned "invisible" because only their edge was showing. <br/> <br/>3. I didn't much care for the audio. The moan got annoying after a while, and are they zombies? |
| Aug 24 02:31:00 | 6m 00s | Hunt the Hunter | This game was a bit on the easy side but it was fun. I liked the concept and the controls were very well done. My favorite part was the voice acting and it had a good bit of humor. <br/> <br/>The levels were also well designed. <br/> <br/>I think some more game play elements could really make this a fun game. |
| Aug 24 02:35:00 | 4m 00s | Revenge | I really enjoyed this game. It was fun to play the boss ship. I really liked the attacks and the cool downs. <br/> <br/>Good work! |
| Aug 24 02:41:00 | 6m 00s | Growing Up A Monster | I liked the idea and the setting for the game. I liked the background music and the sound effects weren't bad. <br/> <br/>The controls were not very good and the collisions were a bit clunky. It was difficult to navigate around the level. I was also not sure what the objective of the game was and game play wise it did not seem like a lot was there. It seems like a reasonable start but it needs some game play mechanics added. |
| Aug 24 02:44:00 | 3m 00s | Alien Iowa Simulator 2015 | The game does not run. I cloned the Github and ran the skilLib.exe and it tells me that it is misisng the libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll. Also most people will not bother to clone a Github repository to play your game! |
| Aug 24 02:50:00 | 6m 00s | Retreat - The Reckless Move | This game was a lot of fun to play. I liked the destructable environments! It had a good bit of humor as well and so I rated it strongly in that category. <br/> <br/>The particle effects for the projectile seemed a bit distracting and unnecessary to me. Also the objective of finding the blue briefcase was one that I could never seem to accomplish. It seems like it needs some sort of mini map or something so I know where I have been. <br/> <br/>Anyway this was a solid entry, great work! |
| Aug 24 02:58:00 | 8m 00s | D÷V÷S÷ON | This game was a lot of fun! I liked the concept. <br/> <br/>Things that might improve it: <br/> <br/>1. The controls were a bit hard to use. I think arrow key movement might make it better, or lock the mouse to the center of the window. <br/> <br/>2. It was hard to know when I could divide. <br/> <br/>3. Sometimes it was frustrating to chase down the balls. Was their |
| Aug 24 03:03:00 | 5m 00s | Beat Bunny | I loved this game. It was a really cool concept to use a rhythm game for this, and I know from personal experience that rhythm games are hard to make!! <br/> <br/>Great work. If I had one "complaint" is that you need to make an easy mode! I had to practice with the game over screen to be able to play at all. |
| Aug 24 03:05:00 | 2m 00s | Monster Chomper | I could not run this game :(. |
| Aug 24 03:11:00 | 6m 00s | Dive Demon Dive | I couldn't really figure out how to play this game. I used the keys but I just kept slamming around. The blue blocks disappear but how do I get out of that room? Is it supposed to be a puzzle? I tried for more than a few minutes to figure out how to play, but I couldn't. <br/> <br/>I feel like I am missing the meat of the game, but I reviewed what I was able to play. |
| Aug 24 03:16:00 | 5m 00s | Harold - The Overly Destructive Flying Monster | The link for Windows was broken, but I figured out how to get to the game. If you just click the link it gives you a DNS error. You have to use the http://allwoodgamedev.itch.io/harold-the-overly-destructive-flying-monster link. <br/> <br/>I really did not like how the game had an installer. I don't want to have to install the game to my computer to play it. <br/> <br/>Also the game seemed very hard to me. I flew around but I kept dying very fast and I couldn't really kill much. I feel like this could be a better game, but it needs more health and for better controls (It was hard to fly up and launch bombs at the same time.). |
| Aug 24 03:20:00 | 4m 00s | Nessie: Hide 'n' Eat | This was an interesting take on the game snake. It was fun, but the audio got old after awhile and it was really hard to dodge the camera flashes for long before dying. |
| Aug 24 03:24:00 | 4m 00s | Monster Truck Logistics | The controls for the game were difficult to use and I really didn't feel like the game fit the theme very well. It was an interesting idea to be a monster truck, but it just didn't seem to work for me. |
| Aug 24 03:32:00 | 8m 00s | The Little Monsta | This game has a lot of potential! I really did not like the audio (it seemed to loop itself and it made me want to turn off my speakers). <br/> <br/>The mechanics were fun, although I got stuck under the game boy and had to restart the game once. <br/> <br/>I wasn't sure why it ended so soon. I was hoping to be able to devour the entire level :(. |
| Aug 24 03:40:00 | 8m 00s | Squatch | I thought the game was very funny. I really didn't know how to play it. I kept wandering around growling at trees. <br/> <br/>The sound effects were cool but the dee sound got annoying after a while. Then I died :(. I make a horrible squatch I think. |
| Aug 24 03:45:00 | 5m 00s | SPIKE LEG ED DEMO | I had fun with this game, but I had no idea what was going on! I kept hitting up and down and watching the enemies explode. I wasn't sure what the objective was, but I think I was doing pretty good at it! |
| Aug 24 03:50:00 | 5m 00s | The Alchemist | I really liked the graphics in this game and I thought it had a great idea. I wasn't sure how you were the monster. I ran around for a while and pressed E to collect herbs and a feature, but then I wasn't really sure what to do after that. <br/> <br/>I think this game has a lot of potential but it is unfinished like was mentioned. <br/> <br/>It is a great start, but next time it might be better to try a simpler game that can be completed by the deadline! |
| Aug 24 04:11:00 | 21m 00s | The Egg | This was an interesting game. I liked the ability to buy monsters. I wasn't sure what to do during the game though. I bought a bunch of spiders, but then I let the game sit for a few minutes and nothing seemed to happen. If there was a threat to my egg then it did not seem to be very noticable. |
| Aug 24 04:19:00 | 8m 00s | Something deep | This was a great game. I really liked the game mechanics and the execution. The only issue was if you get your tentacle stuck on something requiring more than one and you effectively can't use it. I wish there was a way to "release" the tentacle but I did not find one. |
| Aug 25 02:13:00 | 21h 54m | Doppelhunger | This was a fun little game! I really liked the concept. The controls were a little odd and the collisions needed some work, but the game overall was enjoyable. |
| Aug 25 02:25:00 | 12m 00s | Room | This was a very interesting game. It had a very creep atmosphere and and I thought the mood of the game was done very well. The graphics were very hard on the eyes and I really did not understand very well what to do or how to play. |
| Aug 25 02:32:00 | 7m 00s | Easter Hunt | Game runs, but it has an installer. Could not figure out how to play at all. My character did not seem to move. The graphics were nice, but I rated it harshly for the installer and the lack of any game play. |
| Aug 25 02:42:00 | 10m 00s | Only Once - Pablo's Revenge | This was a cool little game and I really liked the graphics and humor. I didn't know how to move my chicken so I just kept clicking with the lasers and killing the hero units (but they never attacked me!) |
| Aug 25 02:50:00 | 8m 00s | The Troll Toll | Great game! This was very fun! I really liked the artwork and the game play addicting. |
| Aug 25 03:06:00 | 16m 00s | The Three Tasks Of The Invisible Monster | This was an interesting entry. I liked the ending, but the game play felt quite tedious. Congratulations though on finishing a game. I can tell a lot of time was put into making the cut scenes in the game, but next time I think more work needs to go into the game play. |
| Aug 25 03:12:00 | 6m 00s | Hungry Friend | I really enjoyed this game. The graphics reminded me of Ren and Stimpy. It was fun turning the cute creatures into steak. |
| Aug 25 03:17:00 | 5m 00s | Super Monster World | This was an interesting game. I liked the concept of controlling the enemies and the cost factor in doing so. I think this game would benefit from some puzzle elements and to have to use the monsters to help the player move across the level. |
| Aug 25 03:23:00 | 6m 00s | Hydro Carbon | This game had a cool concept and I thought it used the theme well. The graphics weren't bad but here are things I didn't like: <br/> <br/>1. The boat moved too slow. <br/>2. There was a lot of information to read and it seemed like maybe there were too many mechanics to learn (even if there weren't actually that many). <br/> <br/>I think faster movement and pace/less text would make this more fun. |
| Aug 25 03:49:00 | 26m 00s | Consumption | This is a neat game, but I didn't really understand how to play it. The graphics were very well done and the controls were good. I chased after a rabbit for a while and picked up some rocks, but I wasn't sure what to do after that. |
