| Dec 14 07:33:00 | Grow Heart | This is a cute small game! I really love that you included a quote - made it feel more meaningful. I hope you inspire some more people with it :) | |
| Dec 15 01:35:00 | 18h 02m | Ludum Party! | Very cool game! I wish I had a friend to play it with, but thankfully you threw in a CPU to play against! Very nice job with the design, too. <br/> <br/>You definitely started with a great idea. I think if you put a lot of polish into it, you could make an amazing party game out of it! :D |
| Dec 15 01:52:00 | 17m 00s | Grava-Switch | I like that you explored having a shop and a level structure - makes the game have more replayability. Great work :) |
| Dec 15 02:03:00 | 11m 00s | Space Warrior | I like how the mechanics of shooting, growing, and colliding with enemies kind of balances themselves out. And I really love the different enemy types you've added. Great work! |
| Dec 15 02:14:00 | 11m 00s | Garden Grow | Fantastic game all around - even seemed polished! :D I'm not sure if the difficulty is based mostly the random cloud movement or not, but I guess it's comparable to Doodle Jump's difficulty, which is a good thing considering how popular Doodle Jump became. Great work!! |
| Dec 16 16:41:00 | 38h 27m | Reap | I love how much you do with only 5 shades of one color. It looks so good!! <br/> <br/>Game play is pretty good - I like the two-handed controls, not only as it fits the theme but just as a survival game feature. <br/> <br/>Great job as always :D |
| Dec 16 16:52:00 | 11m 00s | Opcode-Powered Shuttle (working title) | Your approach to this was really cool! I love how the UI changes to help you navigate the menus. Good luck with the post-LD version. You definitely have a great concept that I think a lot of gamers could get into. |
| Dec 16 17:08:00 | 16m 00s | Barbarians with Cannons | Reminds me of the good ol' days playing Pocket Tanks and such! It looks good too :) Nice work and good luck! |
| Dec 16 18:24:00 | 1h 16m | Carrot Stories | Great job!! I love the design of the game - it's memorable and atmospheric. |
| Dec 16 18:35:00 | 11m 00s | Planty Gauntlet | I'm not sure that kind doesn't have morals! But that's cool because you were able to do some unique things with them. I think their path following is nicely done. All things considered, it's a great little game :D |
| Dec 16 19:36:00 | 1h 01m | CHILL PILL | Haha! Awesome! I love the grandma, and the fun style to the art. And what a clever use of screen size! |
| Dec 16 20:03:00 | 27m 00s | Growing Dragon | Nice little game Erfeo! It seemed a bit buggy, but I think you balanced your time well enough (3 stages, whoo!). I liked how you changed things up for each stage, including the dragon graphic of course. I hope you consider making a polished post-LD version! :) |
| Dec 16 20:49:00 | 46m 00s | I must speak but there is only bongos | Haha! Very very well done! I saved the orphans <3 The physics were ridiculous but it definitely added to the charm. Good luck! |
| Dec 16 21:14:00 | 25m 00s | Mobsferatu | Very incredible work! The gameplay is nearly perfect, and all the art feels polished and moody. I love how the game is challenging, but fun - especially in that you can try out different paths to progress. Keep up with the great work!! I can see this potentially being a successful game in the market. :D |
| Dec 16 21:27:00 | 13m 00s | Button Betting | This game has it all! I was surprised that you had time to add the shop and everything - At first I expected the game to go on forever! Excellent work with everything - I hope you get great scores on this :) |
| Dec 16 21:34:00 | 7m 00s | Dizzy Dazzle | It's fun!! I can imagine it would be an amazing mobile app with some extra polish (score, multipliers, and leaderboards would be super cool!). Good luck :D |
| Dec 16 21:56:00 | 22m 00s | Longbeard | Incredible as usual! :D Obviously the game was short with the frantically-put-together level, but it's really obvious how much skill and hard work you put into things like this. I really hope you make a post-compo version of this. <3 |
| Dec 16 21:58:00 | 2m 00s | Life: The Game | I really like it! The game flows quite well and is fun to play! Those eye pimples though... ouch. XD Good work! :D |
| Dec 16 22:05:00 | 7m 00s | Radical Revolver Recoil Rampage | Gameplay ROCKS, great work! It's quite balanced and fun (not sure if every part is possible to beat though). I can imagine a leaderboard would do quite well for this game ;) |
| Dec 17 05:06:00 | 7h 01m | The Climbers | It's a stylish, well-polished game! I wish I had a friend to play with - I'm sure it would be hilarious. Good job! |
| Dec 17 15:14:00 | 10h 08m | Venus and the Flies | Very cool little game! I really love how it grows. And pretty much the same as the other comments said - needs replayability ;) |
| Dec 17 15:26:00 | 12m 00s | JUMPR | Excellent use of the controls them - it's simple but it's what makes the game so fun. Very nice work - it's very fun, simple, pretty, and totally rage inducing! ;) <br/> <br/>You should consider making a full version (for mobile?) :D |
| Dec 18 05:23:00 | 13h 57m | Agent Hooker | Incredible!! The mechanics work super well, and the game looks beautiful. Great job with level design and difficulty too. Not much else to say - you both should be proud ;) |
| Dec 18 07:01:00 | 1h 38m | Concrete Jungle | Absolutely beautiful game! The physics and the graphics were practically perfect. It's really inspiring, and matched both themes better than I've seen any other game so far. Love it, excellent work!! ;D |
| Dec 18 07:08:00 | 7m 00s | Acrodog | AH! Love it! You nailed the gameplay spot on, and polished the game quite well. I only wish it saved the high score, haha. You MUST finish it up and release for mobile ;D |
| Dec 18 23:19:00 | 16h 11m | Growing Sakura | Fantastic puzzle!! I definitely think you should make a polished version of this - I can see people really enjoying it on mobile and PC. I'm amazed that you have 40 levels! |
| Dec 19 04:55:00 | 5h 36m | Need For Seed: Undergrowth | Very cool idea for the theme! I like how the role of RNG adds a skill mechanic to the game. Feels pretty balanced! <br/> <br/>Excellent job! |
| Dec 19 17:40:00 | 12h 45m | Neo Oxygene | Very unique game ideas and mechanics! I wonder if you could have implemented "growing" in the engage part of the game - it would be cool to have some sort of context as to what the game on the right is. Love the style, great work! |
| Dec 20 06:38:00 | 12h 58m | Repulsion | I think you came up with a really cool concept! Needs a lot of tweaking, but definitely worth experimenting with. It would be pretty cool to watch an experienced player playing this game. <br/> <br/>I'm not sure I understand why you have the growing/shrinking mechanic depend on the color. I think it should either not be a mechanic at all, or depend on the ball, to encourage switching. I don't know xD <br/> <br/>Not sure why dos said it wasn't a web game... it is. <br/>Anyway, good luck with the post-compo version! |
| Dec 20 06:56:00 | 18m 00s | Micros | Gameplay wise, I was hoping that you'd be able to grow a bit more, the more your colony grew, so you'd feel more powerful and be able to progress more. It'd also have more of an impact when you lose a member. <br/> <br/>That being said, it IS nice that that the game is score-based, since it's harder to keep a large colony. From that perspective it's nicely balanced. Good job to both of you! :) |
| Dec 22 03:32:00 | 44h 36m | Morse GRO | First of all, yes it's super stressful. If this was my job, I would like to be paid pretty well, haha ;) <br/> <br/>But this is a REALLY good concept, and it's executed really well. I would love to see a full game like this, because I feel like there's a lot of room for amazing gameplay with this concept. The important part would be to give the player breaks, so they're not rushing during the whole gameplay. <br/> <br/>Great work! |
| Dec 27 18:02:00 | 134h 30m | Sprout | Nice solid game! I like the growing mechanic a lot - it looked really cool. |
| Dec 30 20:08:00 | 74h 06m | Tamamystery | Wow you weren't kidding, nice plot twist! <br/>The game design is well thought out. I really love the music cute graphics too. Altogether, it's quite a fun little game. Best of luck! :D |
| Jan 1 05:52:00 | 33h 44m | Nationbuilder | I like your idea! I wonder if you could expand this prototype into a simple tycoon-type game. Or I guess it also could be an idle clicker game, haha. |
| Jan 1 06:04:00 | 12m 00s | hARBOuR | I really love the water reflection - great work with the graphics! Would love to see a final polished version, because I think it has awesome potential to be a really fun platformer. |
| Jan 1 16:37:00 | 10h 33m | Simultaneism | Well done! I made it above Zeriver - keeping the leaderboard alphabetical I guess ;) <br/>http://i.imgur.com/m4g4qjR.png 60 <br/> <br/>Did you get the idea from Multitask? <br/> <br/>I love how you have the player flailing to use different buttons - numbers, WASD, Space, and arrows. Really challenging but really fun! Definitely a thing you could get better at with a lot of practice and patience. An in-game scoreboard would be fantastic - I'm sure it would get more people really into it. :) <br/> <br/>Also, I love the track you made for the game! |
| Jan 1 17:39:00 | 1h 02m | GMO Overgrowth | I like how the corncobs shoots corn at you! <br/> <br/>It's cool that you had time to add some polished features (generation, upgrades, a map, etc) - the extra time you spent on them significantly improves the game. <br/> <br/>Nice game! |
| Jan 2 22:48:00 | 29h 09m | Growbot | Well done! I love the animations and the puzzle was fun. <br/> <br/>It seemed like it was more about figuring out how the game wanted me to accomplish the tasks, rather than figuring out how everything should interact to proceed. That's okay, but not as rewarding as the other way around. <br/> <br/>Either way, it's adorable and has a great level of polish for a game of this style. Love it! :D |
| Jan 2 22:59:00 | 11m 00s | A Bullet Hell Style Shooter Where One Button Controls Both Shooting and Moving, While Another Button Gives You Slightly Sarcastic Motivation. | Haha, your voice acting was the best part xD <br/> <br/>Great job making something with what little time you had. <br/> <br/>I imagine it as though the pilot has no idea what they're doing, so when they start falling they freak out and press everything they can - hence one button to do everything. |
| Jan 2 23:07:00 | 8m 00s | Plants Attack | Amazing work! Love all the mechanics you added - they seem to work really well, especially with how the difficulty progresses and your decisions are forced to be quicker. <br/> <br/>Awesome art, has music, runs great, fits the themes, is quite fun... you really have it all, don't you! |
| Jan 3 06:23:00 | 7h 16m | GrowingPain | I'm really glad you were able to join the compo! For a really simple game, I think it gets its point across well, which is really cool! Although I hope I never have to spam-click to save someone's life... because clearly it hurts XD <br/> <br/>Anyway, if you had more time, definitely focus on making it more interactive. Eye candy and visual/audio feedback go a long way! :D |
| Jan 3 18:37:00 | 12h 14m | Beardgrow | Fantastic job on pretty much everything!! <br/>Although I found controlling the player kinda frustrating, I thought it was extremely well put together and quite fun. :D |
| Jan 3 18:53:00 | 16m 00s | Snake Dog | Wow, very nice! Visually well-designed, and definitely fun to play. <br/> <br/>The gameplay isn't too new and the asteroids can appear unfairly and the wall collision isn't generous. But otherwise, gotta love a snake-like game! <3 <br/> <br/>The sounds were cool, and the wiggly paint art reminds me of Dittomat's style. :D |
| Jan 3 19:05:00 | 12m 00s | Accretion Disc | It's actually really satisfying to play this! I love how the bigger you get, the more of the disc you can see. It seems well balanced, and it's really fun to play. Good job! |
| Jan 3 19:13:00 | 8m 00s | Xtreme Crop Duster Simulator '82 | Very nicely done! The mechanics are super cool and feel very retro-arcade (the visuals and sound helps with that too of course, haha). <br/> <br/>I would have rather had the controls inverted though; it makes more sense to me to press up to go upward instead of downward. <br/> <br/>Either way, I got used to it. Very solid game. Good luck!! |
| Jan 3 19:23:00 | 10m 00s | Andi, You're a Star | A good start for a game - that's what LD is for! <br/> <br/>An interesting mechanic that you probably didn't intend, is that the size of the window determines how challenging the game is - sorta fits with the theme of "grow"! ;) |
| Jan 3 19:37:00 | 14m 00s | Arc | A fun and challenging game. Seems well balanced! <br/> <br/>I'm not sure what I think of the powerup system, but I don't think it should be about guessing or remembering which colors do what. <br/> <br/>I had to play in Chrome because there were lag spikes in Firefox. Your post-mortem didn't work in Firefox at all o_o. Everything worked fine in Chrome though. <br/> <br/>All in all, great little game! Best of luck!! Hope to see this on mobile ;) |
| Jan 3 19:47:00 | 10m 00s | Now There's Blood On Your Hands | I can't stop thinking about what just happened XD Great job with the weird story concept, and I love the graphics and sound. Awesome work! |
| Jan 3 19:58:00 | 11m 00s | Don't Clog the Arteries | Nice game!! The gameplay and story really fit together perfectly. |
| Jan 3 20:32:00 | 34m 00s | Snowball University | Very cute game with awesome graphics! <br/>The controls didn't feel very natural to me, since it failed me when it looks like I timed it fine. But other than that it was nice! An (endless) arcade mode would definitely suit a game like this. :D Great work!! |
| Jan 3 20:41:00 | 9m 00s | Stem | Impressive work with the thoughtful interface and game design! It seemed to progress a bit too slow for my taste, but I did appreciate the way in which the health and difficulty worked. Awesome job! |
| Jan 3 20:48:00 | 7m 00s | Growy the Flowy | Very nice looking game! It was calming and enjoyable to play. Nice work! :D |
| Jan 3 20:55:00 | 7m 00s | Surf a Turf | Extremely cool graphics! The gameplay and sound is nice too! Overall a really relaxing and well-made game. Excellent work Daandruff :) |
| Jan 3 21:12:00 | 17m 00s | Dendrite | Gosh, you all managed to complete a surprisingly fantastic game within the Jam! Doesn't seem like you considered the themes though? Great job nonetheless! |
| Jan 3 21:27:00 | 15m 00s | PerePey | I think you made an amazing game, with clever mechanics and a wonderful atmosphere! <br/> <br/>I agree with the previous comments about controls and everything. It was way too hard for me as well, but not in a bad way - I felt like the mistakes were my own, and that I could improve if I kept trying. That being said, starting the levels off easier for new players, or changing the controls at least, would definitely be a good idea. |
| Jan 3 22:42:00 | 1h 15m | Get to the Points | I love how satisfying it is to watch a level end, with all your blips and bloops haha. Very nice work!! I agree that you should increase the difficulty quicker :) |
| Jan 3 22:57:00 | 15m 00s | 2 Roll | Awesome work!! I got 82 seconds ;) The art and sounds are great and establish quite an atmosphere. Overall the game plays really well and is quite fun! <br/> <br/>I feel like the controls are backwards than what I would have expected, which might have made it unnecessarily difficult to get used to... but I do really love the unique door mechanic you have. <br/> <br/>Not that it makes any difference on your score, but I noticed you misspelled "platforms" a couple times. <br/> <br/>Good game! |
| Jan 3 23:52:00 | 55m 00s | Square Exit | I really loved how clever this puzzle was! It's awesome how it directs you toward the solution without making it entirely obvious what to do. And I loved how you introduced the concepts. <br/> <br/>Excellent work! ;D |
| Jan 4 03:36:00 | 3h 44m | Ortogonalis | I really love the creativity here! Simple, but fun timing game! <br/>I'd argue it's a one-button game, but hey I see you're point, and it does take quite a bit of skill to make a full game with one button, haha. So, awesome job ;) |
| Jan 4 03:53:00 | 17m 00s | Slime Smasher | Hahaha XD I don't know what else to say! I played a couple times and got my lowest score to 272. My poor keyboard xD |
| Jan 4 04:16:00 | 23m 00s | Fluffy Horde | The cut scene is extremely amazing. I hope no one skips it! <br/>Not the most interesting gameplay, but it works and is fun :) |
| Jan 4 17:43:00 | 13h 27m | PSYCHOTENNIS | I love how you made use of the two buttons! Really cool idea! <br/>It SEEMS to get too fast, where you can't really hone in your skills to be precise enough. Maybe the same control scheme can be applied to a more balanced game style or goal? <br/>And awesome work with the sounds - they were effective and pleasant! |
| Jan 4 19:32:00 | 1h 49m | Growing Ties | I really like it! It's a funny game, with a really simple fun mechanic ;) Excellent job with the polish to the game. |
| Jan 4 20:28:00 | 56m 00s | space pruning | Very nice jam entry!! You have potential to expand this in so many ways :) <br/>Either way, what you have now is really nice. Love the concept and the mechanics are very clever. The way you implicitly convey the tasks is brilliant too. Great work! |
