| Dec 16 03:31:00 | The Super Bros (that are not Brothers!) | The controls limit the fun of the game for me. I found the controls to be very picky in that you can't hold the jump but have to tap it or you just jump straight up. The arrow keys also didn't jump for me but they did move left and right. <br/> <br/>Other than the controls, it's a good game. | |
| Dec 17 04:03:00 | 24h 32m | Tensions | Clear transitions before days and some level of introduction would do well for the game. I didn't have any trouble figuring out the basics and getting through the game for quite a few turns. <br/> <br/>I think a visual indicator for remaining supplies and cost for each selection would be good. I also don't know if selecting multiple even works. Again, some level of introduction would be nice since you appear to start the game in the middle of a civil war. |
| Dec 17 04:05:00 | 2m 00s | blackfisk | Fun little game. The small space made it hard with the constantly moving forward. A pause between death and new game would of been nice. |
| Dec 17 04:27:00 | 22m 00s | Witchgarden Leafiosa | Really well made. The art is fantastic and the audio fits very well. The gameplay is some what tedious but also fun and creative. <br/> <br/>I've attached a screen shot of a bug I found. I ventured into the mountains because it let me and then endless falling loop. <br/>http://i.imgur.com/1ZYGYAt.png |
| Dec 17 18:25:00 | 13h 58m | Grow The Hole | Interesting game. Vertical movement is the only problem in terms of speed. I reached near screen size but then suddenly went down to a tiny mass of 8. |
| Dec 17 18:33:00 | 8m 00s | Grow To Jump | Web would do well if you hosted it to itch.io or another site. I found Firefox works fine with it however. The game is a test of patience and exact movements. |
| Dec 18 00:16:00 | 5h 43m | Flower: Icarus | I'm not quite sure how to progress in the game. I spent up all of my DNA points and I can only get more water and energy. A lot of the text got caught off screen as well. |
| Dec 18 01:08:00 | 52m 00s | My Best (Magical) Friend! | Despite the obvious tropes I found myself continuing down the story more and more. I think it's a good visual novel / choose your own adventure. |
| Dec 20 19:17:00 | 66h 09m | Ultra CopyCat Force | The game is fun to play and is rather inventive. I do like that the number of weapons vary and the difficulty gets harder as time goes on. <br/> <br/>What I did not like is that the enemies left if I took too long. I am guessing it is because if you have no weapon you can't take them out if they are all already stolen from. |
| Dec 20 19:24:00 | 7m 00s | One Day I'll Be A Flower | The sound is a bit odd but good game. Follows the theme and is a clever mutation of the classic Snake game. I would be scared however if flowers grew that way. |
| Dec 20 19:28:00 | 4m 00s | Cube Jump | I made it to 36 cubes and then the red portal cube didn't work so I walked off the level. <br/> <br/>Even some basic audio could spice it up a bit, but otherwise it's a simple platformer. |
| Dec 20 19:34:00 | 6m 00s | YinYang | The concept is good but it feels lacking quickly. With some variation in the line or maybe it rolls down various black and white lines and you have to not end in a dead end. <br/> <br/>A time score or something should pop up once you fall off to try and reward you. I had to purposefully fall to see if there was a score as well. <br/> <br/>Again, I like the concept. A lot you can do with it. |
| Dec 20 20:02:00 | 28m 00s | Two Button Gardening | Simple game with a frustrating difficulty. I managed to get this score though. http://i.imgur.com/6pWEr72.png |
| Dec 20 21:34:00 | 1h 32m | Parascythe X | Feels like something you would find on an actual arcade machine. Fun game, but it does have a bit of a learning curve since there is no indication of what does what immediately. <br/> <br/>I'd of liked to see the score not be related to the upgrades. Maybe just base it on "parts" taken from destroyed ships. |
| Dec 20 22:42:00 | 1h 08m | Pocketropolis | The Compo version is a bit slow. I also felt like the two button was a little forced and was not helpful for the game. <br/> <br/>I like the idea of it though, and haven't played the post-compo version which I imagine is improved. |
| Dec 20 23:11:00 | 29m 00s | Sam and Mas Two Button Attack Game - MULTIPLAYER ONLY, two people required to play | I'm not sure if it is supposed to auto attack and defend, but the numbers rise without doing anything. <br/> <br/>Visuals and audio, even simple would of lended to the game. |
| Dec 20 23:35:00 | 24m 00s | Tail Power | Neat little game. I saw in the notes that the tail was intended to be a weapon later. I think that would make it a lot more interesting than making it snake like. |
| Dec 22 00:09:00 | 24h 34m | Sushi Roll | Really well made. Each category of a game has been worked on and given time. The chef does get a little quick on some parts but overall pretty fun. <br/> <br/>I think some power ups or ways to boost would of made it even better. |
| Dec 22 00:13:00 | 4m 00s | Sheldon | The game is a bit simple. I was going to say it was easy but then I got mauled by flies. |
| Dec 22 00:22:00 | 9m 00s | Blood Cleaner | Fun game, but definitely a little difficult from the get go. I wasn't able to get the super weapon to work either. |
| Dec 22 00:30:00 | 8m 00s | Desperate Vessel | The title of your game doesn't match the exe window. I really like the game though. I find it very difficult but also not completely unfair as to make it frustrating. I will say once you go down below the line you pretty much never come back up. <br/> <br/>Based on comments from my own game, excellent job with the arrow in the background, it is insanely useful. |
| Dec 22 01:52:00 | 1h 22m | Empyreal Roving | The game is difficult enough without the after death part. I like it, and it would definitely be less interesting if you had a functional ship since there are plenty of those kinds of games. |
| Dec 22 03:36:00 | 1h 44m | Mutant Veggie Arena | Actually beat it. A bit spastic but overall I think it does pretty well at keeping you entertained and looks like some effort was put into the various categories. It does not fit either of the themes very well though. |
| Dec 22 19:08:00 | 15h 32m | Zombie Avoid | The game is a bit buggy to play. Whenever the survivor touches an object he just kind of slides in one direction. If the touch each other they also mess each other up. |
| Dec 22 19:12:00 | 4m 00s | The Daring Entrepreneur | Simple concept. I couldn't get it to let me shout at all, or if I did then it did nothing. |
| Dec 22 19:15:00 | 3m 00s | Cluster Junk: The Secret of Trash Island | The game was incredibly laggy for me. I think it is a neat different take on katamari. |
| Dec 22 19:20:00 | 5m 00s | Speed Puck | I would of liked to have two buttons mapped to the buttons. The fact that you have to click the button makes it difficult to the point it is random chance if you get far or not. |
| Dec 22 19:37:00 | 17m 00s | Mead Runner | Art wise, really well made. The lights do flicker a lot, could just be me. As others have said the collisions are a little unforgiving. |
| Dec 22 19:49:00 | 12m 00s | Burgeoning | Interesting. Simple gameplay but more focus on a message. Took me a few passes to realize you had to fill up the bubble though. |
| Dec 22 19:56:00 | 7m 00s | Ball Crusher From Neptune | The music is really good and I'd like to say more about the game but I honestly don't know how to actually play. I move left or right and try to align the ball with the line but sometimes it bounces, sometimes it doesn't. |
| Dec 22 19:59:00 | 3m 00s | Chain letter | The game is a bit slow and uneventful. I think with some more work it could be similar to a typing game. |
| Dec 23 18:01:00 | 22h 02m | Breathe | Great audio for the game. The visuals are also really good. The gameplay feels good but also is a bit tough. I suppose it takes a bit to learn though. |
| Dec 23 18:06:00 | 5m 00s | No Birds In This Game | The ant is very tiny and hard to see. I wasn't even sure I was playing until I was a few levels in. I'm not sure the theme works well with the game, but you did follow it. |
| Dec 23 18:13:00 | 7m 00s | Guardian | The controls don't quite move intuitively. WASD would of been better in my opinion than QWAS. After getting past that it was actually quite smooth to play. Nice job. |
| Dec 23 23:45:00 | 5h 32m | OVERGROWN . UNDERFED | The game is extremely beautiful, partly because I love pixel art and obviously because it was well made. The gameplay is pretty great too for a game made on a crunch. Managed to get extracted using the hunter and making use of the right side of the level. |
| Dec 24 00:18:00 | 33m 00s | Let's Play Simulator 2016 | You say the game isn't random, but it is biased. The guessing game of if you think the game was good and if the game title or author are real or parody isn't easy. <br/> <br/>The character also constantly complains about being tired, so I tested doing nothing and he still complains. |
| Dec 24 20:00:00 | 19h 42m | Tama Battle! | Fun game, reminds me of tamagachi and pokemon combined. |
| Dec 24 21:48:00 | 1h 48m | INFERNO | The game starts off a bit slow, but gets pretty fun once you get the dash attack. Maybe add some indicator to how close you are to a level up. |
| Dec 24 22:18:00 | 30m 00s | Dashmageddon | At some point you just get too big and the seeds don't drop fast enough, or at least they didn't for me. I think the growth rate could start a bit slower. <br/> <br/>Good game overall. |
| Dec 24 22:23:00 | 5m 00s | TAMAGROW | I think seeing some visual or text feedback after a decision would be nice. |
| Dec 24 22:28:00 | 5m 00s | Clouk | Seems like it would of been quite good with a full level. Maybe continue on a post-jam version? |
| Dec 24 22:33:00 | 5m 00s | Chicken Spin | I could see this being a good mobile game to play to kill time. |
| Dec 25 02:21:00 | 3h 48m | Scroll Bars | The menu is very in depth with options and various difficulties. The game is also fairly difficult since the growth of the bar is in segments. Manages to fit both themes without feeling restricted by them. |
| Dec 25 02:34:00 | 13m 00s | Tha Mage | Really interesting game. I've been wanting to do something similar to this for a while. <br/> <br/>One problem I found was you could pretty much just recast jump to fly wherever you want. Other than that, really clever game. |
| Dec 25 03:45:00 | 1h 11m | The Climbers | I like the game quite a bit. The gameplay fits the two button theme very smoothly and as most LD games it is short and replayable. |
| Dec 30 02:56:00 | 119h 11m | Mobsferatu | Well done. A tad short but it looks really good and plays well for a game made in such a short time. |
| Dec 31 03:34:00 | 24h 38m | Star Control | I like the genre of space shooters but not being able to move forward of backward limits the ships ability to dodge anything. I found myself stuck in a corner and then blasted down just about every game. <br/> <br/>I think given a different theme it would of done much better, as the other gameplay elements are great. |
| Jan 1 21:19:00 | 41h 45m | Slash Quest | Bravo, this game is really good. There is a bit of difficulty in dodging the projectiles but there has to be some difficulty. The level was also made in a way that you could learn the mechanics at a good pace. I just wish it had more levels. |
| Jan 2 16:28:00 | 19h 09m | Supernova | The gameplay is a bit confusing. The art and music are both good. I tried it a few times but couldn't get past the 2nd planet since it kept crashing into one another or flying off. |
| Jan 2 23:33:00 | 7h 05m | Parse The Sky | Easily one of the most fun games I've played this LD. The environment is beautiful and the gameplay is fun. The objective is simple but it doesn't feel like you have to do it quickly because you just have fun flying around. The music matches the feel of the game and is likewise great. |
| Jan 3 21:52:00 | 22h 19m | Slimevasion | I think the biggest problem I had playing was just not being able to see the bullets. I think it played well enough and the art theme worked well. I had to look at the controls page again to figure out how to get through doors, but that's just from quick reading. |
| Jan 3 21:56:00 | 4m 00s | Level Grow Op | Simple and teaches you as you go. An indicator of how many switches are in a level would be nice. |
| Jan 3 22:39:00 | 43m 00s | The Legend of Da'addad | Pretty much how to play any fighter game, pick buttons and hope its good, at least at the start. My first pick was to waste a potion haha. |
| Jan 3 23:06:00 | 27m 00s | Row Row Row Your Goat | Beautiful game. Very clear to see the difference of experience and teamwork that went into it. Gameplay is smooth, audio is great, and those pesky bears punch with rocket arms. |
