| Aug 25 01:52:00 | Monstering Monsters | What a charming little game! Day six is so mean that it starts being frustrating before looping over to hilarious. Funny take on the theme, obviously; I'm surprised your game is the only one that comes up if you look up "monstering" !!! | |
| Aug 25 02:01:00 | 9m 00s | PSYCHOSHARK | You should post controls for this game somewhere, because I have no idea how you eat people (which is presumably the point of the game, since I doubt you'd make a game about a shark that worked at a frozen yogurt store...) |
| Aug 25 02:12:00 | 11m 00s | you monster | Is there any indication how far along you are on the drive? I couldn't find any, so the game felt kind of aimless. <br/> <br/>It's a very interesting idea for a game especially given the theme-- who's the monster, the gym teacher or you? The graphics are very charming, as is the audio; it's very easy for a game drawn in crayon to look amateurish but this is deceptively cute looking. <br/> <br/>It bothers me that both of the characters have the same dialogue-- it's hard to tell them apart beyond "the white guy" and "the one who looks like Geromy." Also not sure why the guy in shotgun vomiting would end the game. Still, very nice, even if the gameplay itself is minimal. |
| Aug 25 17:23:00 | 15h 11m | Fire Fight | The boss fight is trivially easy-- I don't think I took a single hit. Turning into a demon was kind of underwhelming because the bar depleted too quickly. But the game is actually pretty funny, and the music is hilarious. |
| Aug 25 17:36:00 | 13m 00s | G.A.M.E | It's basically one of those mean-spirited Windows parodies that everyone was making back in 2005, complete with an obnoxious Clippy stand-in. Clicking dialogue options is frustratingly hard because they'll move to the top of the screen before you can click them; there's no real incentive to gain or lose money; the satire of big gaming companies is kind of mediocre. <br/> <br/>On the other hand, the graphics were pretty nice (I like the screen effect), and it's a fairly creative take on the theme. |
| Aug 25 17:44:00 | 8m 00s | Calcusaurus | This is a little annoying on a mouse, but the game is very cute. Not being able to gun down the bullets is a little frustrating. <br/> <br/>I very much enjoyed this one. |
| Aug 25 18:00:00 | 16m 00s | Memory of Psychopath | The obvious plus side here is the great audio-- suitably traumatic, and it's rare you find an LD with good voice acting. <br/> <br/>The obvious negative here is that the game is stupid hard once the spikes come in-- I think you have Robert set to die on collision with the rectangle that contains the spike rather than the spike itself. The dream physics are interesting, and I liked how the spike room felt weightier than everything else, especially in tandem with the way you jump on them to "kill your parents." If you focused on syncing Robert's emotions with the physics this could be a very, very cool game. |
| Aug 25 18:09:00 | 9m 00s | Gojira-Chan no Densetsu | Very enjoyable. I wish you could double tap to dash, but ground pounding is fun. Music is cool too. |
| Aug 25 18:17:00 | 8m 00s | Young Bicycler Adventurer | I feel like you could have had some sort of sound cue that would tell you when the bar hit one side of the meter, so you could hear that and bike accordingly. The best strategy imo is to get a lot of speed at the start of the level and then get to the end. Surprisingly nice music! <br/> <br/>CONS: The lack of variety in enemy types is a little frustrating. <br/> <br/>MISSED OPPORTUNITY: The game could have taken place on a motorcycle and be named Young Motorcyclist's Maternity Masher Adventure, or, as you'd acronym it, YoMoMMA. |
| Aug 25 18:24:00 | 7m 00s | Should Have Worn Socks Today | It's a dress-up game, so I'm not sure I can judge this in the same way I could judge a platformer or a puzzle game or something like that. I mean, there's a huge range of outfits and accessories which let you dress up our monster friend in a million ways, which is the point, I think. <br/> <br/>The twist at the end is interesting-- I sort of saw it coming after playing "One of Them," so it wasn't nearly as effective. But it's still a very cool reversal when taken in the context of the theme. |
| Aug 25 18:32:00 | 8m 00s | Bite In Tandem: Euphoria | Stellar audio. I was very confused once I brought the boss's health to zero-- but you're the monster, not the boss, so what you do is fittingly brutish. It's an interesting fusion of two of my favorite game genres, so I approve. |
| Aug 27 02:43:00 | 32h 11m | Ghost Duck | The Ghost Trick parody that wasn't actually a Ghost Trick parody, but had a duck in it. Wehk wehk. |
| Aug 27 02:55:00 | 12m 00s | Obamapology: Term 2 | Cons: unless Dick Wolf was two game devs in a trench coat, I can't give you credit for any of the audio in this game. Which is a shame because it's very nice audio. <br/> <br/>PROS: Everything else! The graphics are incredibly charming, the Ninji is cute, and the political humor isn't even remotely biting but it is funny. The ending is inane but in the best possible way. |
| Aug 29 01:16:00 | 46h 21m | SnakeLike | A cute idea hampered by bad programming-- I don't know why all the enemies are already killed for you, and the lack of a health meter didn't help either. |
| Aug 29 01:22:00 | 6m 00s | Dragon Tax Return Simulator 2015 | Like Papers, Please, but more soul crushing. |
| Aug 29 17:26:00 | 16h 04m | The Bear Hunter | The twist isn't super surprising to be honest-- we've all played Shadow of the Colossus, yeah? I wish the bear made SOME attempt to dodge your shots if nothing else. But the gameplay mechanic was very enjoyable and the graphics and music are fantastic, so it's not like this is a bad game by any measure. In fact it's one of the best entries this LD I think. |
| Aug 29 17:34:00 | 8m 00s | The Admin Of The Dungeon -In a MMORPG- | I really love this sort of "behind-the-scenes" game. Good work. |
| Aug 29 17:48:00 | 14m 00s | #16 | I want to love this game, but there's no real way to tell when or why you're going to restart the level. It takes a while to figure out how/why you can turn too. |
| Aug 29 18:31:00 | 43m 00s | Investigator and the Case of the Red Herring | OH MY GOD!!! This is fantastic. |
| Aug 29 18:36:00 | 5m 00s | Super Snack Time! | I like the screams Mario makes when he dies |
| Aug 29 18:48:00 | 12m 00s | It's Only You | HA!!! Giving this a five just for the music. <br/> <br/>You should post the songs from this on a Soundcloud or something. They're really good, and if you intended for FOUR LEVELS you probably have unreleased stuff lying around that the world is dying to hear. |
| Aug 29 20:05:00 | 1h 17m | Antimon | Cool, though in the canon games you can't catch a Pokemon once it's been reduced to 0 HP. I also wish leveling up would increase your base HP like canon games do. I like the game, though. |
| Aug 29 20:19:00 | 14m 00s | Goomba Simulator 2015 | I did not expect that. World F-B is utterly horrifying in the best way possible. <br/> <br/>The level counter going backwards is great too. Although I have to wonder, what is Luigi doing there? |
