| Aug 24 07:52:00 | Hue and Cry | Nice work on graphics / audio and the overall mood. The weather effects are very nice. However there is some unbalance as at time it is very difficult to avoid the enemy. Theme wise, other than the reference that the player is a murderer there isn't much else going on. Perhaps you spent a lot of time on arts/audio rather than gameplay. | |
| Aug 24 08:03:00 | 11m 00s | "Real" | Had to change config in chrome as it won't run the unity web player (but that's ok). The eerie mood is there, however it could have been better with different textures used in the rooms as everything is the same. Didn't manage to figure out the controls, I see the player has a sword but how to use it? There is no HUD information. When I want to exit the pause menu doesn't work (click on buttons and nothing happens, if I try to select them with the arrow keys they are fuzzy). I've seen the end but could not select the answers. So yeah room for improvements, don't know how it match up with the theme though. |
| Aug 24 08:12:00 | 9m 00s | Lights Out | Nice work, I love stealth games. The controls are bit gimmicky and not as precise. Art is ok-ish, though the perspective is odd and you could have used a better font. On the bright side, it is a good answer to the theme, the mood is all there and it's somehow fun to play even though would do with a score count or something (or have I missed it?) |
| Aug 24 08:18:00 | 6m 00s | Beats of Nightmare | It's a well done endless runner, bit too difficult for me if I may say. Audio and Arts nicely done in their abstractivity. However sadly enough I can't see the theme. |
| Aug 24 08:32:00 | 14m 00s | Monster | Nice aesthetics even though bit too sterile, I get the idea but you should have developed a bit further. The game is bit short and there isn't much going on, other than everybody's hating you for some reason. |
| Aug 24 08:53:00 | 21m 00s | Lovers on a Park Bench | Nice job for so little time and for such a young developer. Love the music even though the volume is bit too high and cover the voices, also love the synthesized voice. The problem i'm having is that there isn't much gameplay, all is good until the black cloud appears and at that point I'm lost and don't know what to do, yes I can shoot but can't direct it and don't know what I'm shooting at. Theme adherence is not really there since there isn't much gameplay, well there is until the black cloud appears. Was another theme, this could be a winner. So keep up with the good work and don't get disappointed, you have great potential! |
| Aug 24 09:07:00 | 14m 00s | Hungry Waters | Nice touch on the sound effects. Good adherence to the theme and overall simple but stable and nice. Could have done with bit more gameplay, would have been nice if the water physics was more effective. |
| Aug 24 09:18:00 | 11m 00s | APT - Advanced Persistent Tabby | Nice platformer, though the controls are bit gimmicky at times. It easily lose momentum when pushing blocks, and the wall jump is bit odd. Other than that it's well done and has nice levels, though the theme adherence is bit lacking |
| Aug 24 09:25:00 | 7m 00s | Monster Truck vs Aliens | Nice interpretation of the theme, the truck's physics is bit odd (it slides a lot, it bounces off wall like mad but couldn't care less of boulders, and the steering is bit difficult to handle). The terrain is bit empty and should do with a bit of more spicy (i.e. explosions, sfxs, collision with boulders) |
| Aug 24 09:43:00 | 18m 00s | A Quiet Night on the Moon | Nice art and sfxs. Nice touch on the gravity, didn't have other weapon modes (in the initial setup it lists 3 different weapons). Would have been nice to have a score, or power-ups, thingy-to-recover-health. couldn't kill the big alien so don't know if there are more levels after that. |
| Aug 24 09:54:00 | 11m 00s | Orbit | Nice touch on the arts, love the whale's gentle wobbles. could have done with some animations when dying, or killing the jellyfish-thingy. Good adherence to the theme |
| Aug 24 10:04:00 | 10m 00s | Killer Fish | It's funny, quirky, though it's a pain to get into the water if you are on the ground (well I would expect to be difficult if I was a fish, but as play mechanics would make it easier). Love the use of the sound recorder. It is fun, yet the controls are bit gimmicky especially jumping off the water to scare the fish boat (by the way they don't faze a bit when they see me) |
| Aug 24 10:16:00 | 12m 00s | Tentacle Rescue : Summer of Love | I wonder how many people have gone all the way to see how far you pushed :). Nice idea though. |
| Aug 24 11:01:00 | 45m 00s | Shadow Walk | Nice work. Love the idea, love the music and sfxs. Would be nice with bit more gameplay mechanics and some scoring system |
| Aug 24 12:26:00 | 1h 25m | Slavery Simulator 2015 | Though not challenging when you grasp how it works, it's still super addictive. Nicely done, you got something here perhaps worth developing it further :) |
| Aug 24 12:43:00 | 17m 00s | PokEscape: Magicrap's Stealthy Journey for Survival & Gyrodeuce | Really funny and stable game. Polished graphic and audio, enjoyed playing it |
| Aug 24 12:57:00 | 14m 00s | Was It Something I Said? | Love the audio, I've watched you yesterday night on twitch right after I've submitted my entry and you were struggling with the music track, glad you sorted it out. For the game it's technically perfect as I may expect from you though it lacks on the gameplay and longevity, or perhaps I'm missing something but aside from killing the neverending spawning little beings there isn't much else to do. Anyway admire your work in general and your tutorials have helped me a lot. Also congratz for your new job at YoYo !! |
| Aug 24 15:32:00 | 2h 35m | Moonlight | Great endless runner with a nice touch on the monster theme. Art and music really nice, well polished and funny/addictive to play! Nicely done for a first entry |
| Aug 24 15:39:00 | 7m 00s | Grave | Nice work, love the art style (I envy so much your ability to make pixel art so perfectly and easily), good gameplay though would have been nice few more touches like additional weaponary/bonus ability/etc. Overall i like it and it's well aligned with the theme |
| Aug 24 16:08:00 | 29m 00s | Ladybirds massacre | Nice idea, quite hard to control. Would have been nice if the controls were smoother and there was some sort of scoring system and audio controls as well. overall good effort |
| Aug 24 16:09:00 | 1m 00s | Village Defender | Fit the theme nicely, though could have done with bit more gameplay and some feedback from attacking monsters (i.e. bounce back, screen shake, particles when killing, etc). Enjoyed playing it anyway :) |
| Aug 24 16:13:00 | 4m 00s | Denoky | Nice idea, though doesn't work on Chrome (get a white page), works on Edge. Quite hard to play |
| Aug 24 16:22:00 | 9m 00s | Takodemon | A gem. Wonderful game. Music and SFX brilliant, arts exquisite. I would develop this further, could be a winner. Difficult to master in terms of control but that's ok :) |
| Aug 24 16:36:00 | 14m 00s | A Duel with the Devil | Good fun, audio excellent (love the music), nice mechanics. However I don't see how it fits the theme though. |
| Aug 24 18:32:00 | 1h 56m | Otherworldly Stars | Excellent graphic but other than the narrative, though important, there isn't much else going on. |
| Aug 25 09:08:00 | 14h 36m | Fear of the Dark | Nice stealth game, good mechanics although not really a fan of permadeath gameplay. It is hard to play as you die immediately if spotted but otherwise a nice game |
| Aug 25 09:16:00 | 8m 00s | We Missed You! | I quite liked this game. Love the constraints given by the console-emulation and what you did with it. Art/Audio perfect for the media, very fun and quite addictive to play. Not sure if it aligns with theme perfectly, nevertheless I enjoyed playing this a lot :) |
| Aug 25 09:21:00 | 5m 00s | Collateral | Fun and addictive. Though the monster can go outside the boundary of the screen which I guess it's not intended, you can get easily lost in there and never come back. Love the laser beam and hectic pace |
| Aug 25 09:30:00 | 9m 00s | I AM THE SUN | The visual artistry is great, love that. Everything else I'm quite puzzled by as I don't understand what's the goal of the game, don't have any reference on my health or enemies or anything else. I don't think it quites align with the theme either, at least not knowing what's going on... But nice visual/ambience exercise :) |
| Aug 25 09:40:00 | 10m 00s | Changer | Nicely done, puzzle game plus stealth a winning combo. Love the music, got to a level I could not figure out how to pass. Anyway enjoyed playing it. |
| Aug 25 09:47:00 | 7m 00s | T For Terror | Nice effort, though the physics is bit odd. Couldn't quit the game but with AltF4. Don't have clues in the game how this fits the theme. |
| Aug 25 09:51:00 | 4m 00s | Adula | Very polished, nice artistry with good quality audio/visual. However it's not short or super short, it's a micro adventure ... Would have loved if it was longer, you got something there, keep on working :) |
| Aug 25 10:28:00 | 37m 00s | SPIDR | Well graphics' wise UE4 is stunning, though I would have liked more stuff to happens especially when killing the humans (i.e. blood gore, particle effects, some sort of feedback). There is no indication of a progress or health or score as well which would have been nice. Overall nice graphics with basic gameplay and some eerie mood which is good. |
| Aug 25 10:36:00 | 8m 00s | CYCLE | Nice title. There are some philosophical thoughts' processes needed to tie it with the theme. Would have been nice if it was in English though. Quite hard to understand how it works, it needs time and some care |
| Aug 25 13:53:00 | 3h 17m | Jello Adventure | Loved this one, the mechanics are solid though the controls may be bit hard to handle at times. Loved the music and art style and variety of levels. Keep it up and make it commercial :) |
| Aug 25 18:05:00 | 4h 12m | From SLIME to KING | Job well done. Audio is fantastic! Nice random generation though spawning 1 pixel left to an enemy is bad. Quite hard to kill the enemies, though the controls are super smooth. nice use of lighting. |
| Aug 26 09:44:00 | 15h 39m | I am Death and Fire | Nicely executed, fun to play with. Though would have been nice to have more mechanics (i.e. do something when being hit by spears, some audio feedback when destroying things, etc.) Overall a good solid game, love the audio fading in and out depending on the distance! |
| Aug 26 12:49:00 | 3h 05m | You are the star | Solid game, took a while to realize what I was supposed to do, controls are bit gimmicky but otherwise a fun game. |
| Aug 26 17:28:00 | 4h 39m | Player Rush | Gorgeous art/audio, nice gameplay and the idea of a reversed RAID it's awesome. Would have loved to have different abilities as Raid Bosses do, and perhaps the player could have done with more visual feedback when attacking. Loved it anyway and I'm also second in the leaderboard :) |
| Aug 27 12:43:00 | 19h 15m | Monstre de Coiffure | This is a superb entry. Well executed, challenging enough, super humourous. I loved it, 5 star! |
| Aug 27 16:25:00 | 3h 42m | First Person Giant Monster Game | Love the rock's rumble effect, though I was rocket-launched into space at some point I guess while walking on the rumbles which is bit tricky. Anyway good use of 3D and since it seems you put some effort in designing the beast I'd like to see it :) |
| Aug 28 17:22:00 | 24h 57m | Minion Factorium | Nice game, even though would have been nice to know what to do in each level. Who to save? Who to spare? Enjoyed it anyway |
| Aug 31 15:48:00 | 70h 26m | Humane Harvest | Nice take on the genre, but man the audio was annoying at best. Still funny and would definitely play more if it had more gameplay and a button to shut the audio :) (I played till the end by the way) |
| Aug 31 16:27:00 | 39m 00s | Telifrenzy | Took a bit to understand the controls but then after that was very funny. Nice mechanics and level design, lots of content for such short time. May be bit hard for non British people to grasp the humour, nevertheless excellent entry ! |
| Sep 2 17:13:00 | 48h 46m | Melody Muncher | Just WOW. Solid entry, wonderful music and challenging enough mechanics. I must say that on the last two levels my brain went WTF .. :) |
| Sep 2 20:11:00 | 2h 58m | Something deep | Great title, funny and nice mechanics. Enjoyed it |
| Sep 6 16:43:00 | 92h 32m | The Devil's Daughter | Solid entry, though a classic platformer but so much polish and absolutely super humorous loved it. |
