Dec 15 01:36:00 Two button controls A-MAZING
Dec 15 06:02:00 4h 26m AvsL silly as can be. I had to play by myself but tried out both possibilities and liked the silly use of sound.
Dec 15 06:08:00 6m 00s AirC.A.T As I said on the stream, this is a very well executed use of limited input. The game has nice art and good gameplay. There are a few issues that I also mentioned but overall I would play a mobile (and polished) version of this.
Dec 15 06:09:00 1m 00s YesNo Zen Very nice presentation and relaxing game. Even though I'm bad at math, I enjoyed it. As I said on the stream, I wish the sound for failure wasn't as harsh, as it does take the player out of the whole "zen" feeling that you're trying to create.
Dec 15 06:10:00 1m 00s Docker life simulator 2015 Simple and well executed. I did encounter some issues when it comes to graphics and clarity of gameplay, but overall the game works and is cohesive enough to guarantee a fun gameplay experience. I do wish there was more to it, though.
Dec 15 06:13:00 3m 00s Crabby Puzzles Really fun and well executed. I like the simplicity of it, the implementation of different mechanics and the presentation. I wish the background wasn't white and that the whole map was visible for some of the puzzles. Overall I liked it a lot, as I said on the stream.
Dec 15 06:14:00 1m 00s Tubutten Beetle I would say the game needs some polish to be really fun, but the basics are there and I enjoyed playing it and beating the developer high score, heheeheh.
Dec 15 06:15:00 1m 00s Radical Revolver Recoil Rampage Very nice implementation of the two button theme. I think the game is too difficult from the get-go though, it would have been nice to ease in the player so that he can get used to the mechanics. <br/> <br/>I did enjoy the game though and thought it was great, BUT I'm the type of person that likes difficult games.
Dec 15 06:17:00 2m 00s Nightlight Very nice story and storytelling. However, I do feel like the movement and animation is too slow. And the game start is a bit too difficult. I also like the visual style, it fits the theme and the story.
Dec 15 06:18:00 1m 00s Killer Bee I think the game idea is great and the main mechanics are well implemented. However, the way the bees appear make it a bit unfair for the player to avoid them. <br/> <br/>I also think the game would benefit from a consistent visual style and some tweaks here and there. But I already said all of this on the stream. Good job!
Dec 15 06:19:00 1m 00s Laser Dodge Nice presentatio, although I'm not quite sure how the game fits the theme. I've pretty much said most things I have to say about this game on the stream. Hope my feedback was useful!
Dec 15 06:20:00 1m 00s Longbeard Very nice take on the theme. As usual, your graphics are amazing as well as your gameplay ideas. I just wish there was more to it, a bit more challenges and such. <br/> <br/>Anyway, it was prettyyy cool!
Dec 15 06:20:00 0s Twobuttons Controls This is a well-made game with good graphics. And although it is not my type of game, I can appreciate the effort put into it. I hope my feedback during the stream was useful to you guys. <br/> <br/>Good job!
Dec 15 06:22:00 2m 00s Tama Battle! Even though I got the ugliest tamagochi I could get, I had fun with this. I would totally play a full version of this, if you keep working on it!
Dec 15 06:23:00 1m 00s SphereRush The main pieces of what could be a good game are here, but the way they are implemented make the game a bit too difficult. <br/> <br/>I hope the feedback I gave during the stream was useful to you!
Dec 15 06:24:00 1m 00s PISTIL PISTOL: BOTANY BLAST II I loved this game and how well everything works together. I wish the game was complete (I couldn't lose). <br/> <br/>Anyway, great job!
Dec 15 06:25:00 1m 00s Mobsferatu Great implementation of the themes and amazing graphics and gameplay. This is one of the best games I've played so far and I think it is of professional level. <br/> <br/>A full version of this game would be really cool, as well as an infinite one. <br/> <br/>Buen trabajo!
Dec 15 06:25:00 0s Air Crusader Cool stuff Jakyl! I hope my feedback on the stream was useful and it made sense. <br/> <br/>I liked it a lot. The bomb combos were fun to play with and I think the game would benefit from some more of that.
Dec 15 06:27:00 2m 00s Don't Burst The Blob The core game mechanic is really cool, although I'm not sure the implementation is the best it could be. I really enjoyed playing it though. One thing I think the game would benefit from is a change in the background colour. <br/> <br/>Anyway, fun stuff. Maybe tweaking the main mechanic a little bit could make the game a lot better!
Dec 15 06:28:00 1m 00s Yume Starcatcher I got addicted to this game. Please make more levels.
Dec 15 06:29:00 1m 00s retrovirus Although this is not my type of game and I had a lot of difficulty understanding the main mechanics, I can see that a lot of work was put into this and that people that are into this type of game would enjoy it.
Dec 15 06:29:00 0s Dashing Cubes I really liked level 666.
Dec 15 06:30:00 1m 00s Rayban Very confusing. It could benefit from some more explanations and feedback to the player. I do like the mechanics and the ideas though, there were some good ideas in there. I just wish they were a bit more clear.
Dec 15 06:31:00 1m 00s Circle Strafe I like danmaku games so I really enjoyed this. My main issue is the sound, as I already said. I will be looking at the source code for this, there might be a lot of stuff to learn for me!
Dec 16 04:12:00 21h 41m BloatBlaster Being the highscore holder in the World, I have to say I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The main mechanic isn't quite as clear as the developers intended it to be, but not understanding it - killing the enemies at a slow pace - does not hinder gameplay experience. <br/> <br/>All in all, it's a fun game, with a cool world and gameplay. I enjoyed it quite a bit.
Dec 16 04:14:00 2m 00s BOOST Nice presentation and gameplay. I think the fuel mechanic isn't completely clear and I wasn't convinced by the use of primitive forms in the second and third level, but the whole look of the game is very tight despite that little detail. <br/> <br/>It is fun, and have a clever control scheme. Being a lover of challenging games, I quite enjoyed this one.
Dec 16 04:17:00 3m 00s Save the World I was a bit confused as to what I supposed to do. I didn't get that I had to jump on the lumberjack to get rid of him and keep planting trees. Gameplay was a bit repetitive and simple, but I am on board with the idea of trying to convey a message with game mechanics and theme. <br/> <br/>I think the graphics could have used a bit more work as well as the gameplay, but I do think that the game has some funny qualities and it's a nice, albeit simple, take on the theme.
Dec 16 04:18:00 1m 00s Dizzy Dazzle I think this game has a clean and clever design, both graphically and gameplay-wise. <br/> <br/>I enjoyed playing through it as I enjoy rhythm and skill-based games. The presentation is great, although I do believe that a couple of more details here and there, as well as some tweaking on the color palette would make this game even better. That said, it's already great as it is.
Dec 16 04:20:00 2m 00s Blobitronica Great take on the theme, great visual effects and overall, a fun gameplay experience. I think the game needs to give some more feedback to the player as to what is happening / when he is being damaged / etc., but besides that I had a lot of fun playing this one, as you could see on the stream.
Dec 16 04:22:00 2m 00s Nine till Void This gets the perfect score from me. I like bold games, with innovative gameplay ideas and a strong game design philosophy. This game is not only cryptic, but it is also solid on its reflexion on the genre that it's borrowing from, the art-style that it employs as well as the theme from this LD edition. <br/> <br/>One of my personal favorites so far.
Dec 16 04:23:00 1m 00s Stricken Chicken I'm on board for all the sillyness this game has to offer. Gameplay is functional, graphics are a inconsistent and the level design could be a lot better. However, as I played this I could see that the people who made this had a lot of fun and that was a cool experience for me to play it on the stream, where we were also having fun while watching / playing this game.
Dec 16 04:24:00 1m 00s Not Enough Space I think this shows some promise and that if you take it in the right direction, it could become a great game. Keep at it! You already had me interested with this basic prototype.
Dec 16 04:25:00 1m 00s Hero Feed Co. This game has nice graphics, a nice gameplay idea and cool gameplay elements. However, it is made very difficult because of the controls and unforgiving level design. <br/> <br/>I wish there was another way to control the character, as I do like the concept of using level hazards to kill the enemies and being sneaky about it (or should I say snacky?)
Dec 16 04:26:00 1m 00s Grove Guardians This is a pretty cool game. It lacks balance and maybe some scenarios, but I think that if you developed it further it could be really cool to play. <br/> <br/>Congratulations on making such a cool jam game with C2, I love it too!
Dec 16 04:28:00 2m 00s Icare's Balloon I'm all in for difficult games. But I also like it when they're fair. This game is a little too on the difficult side. The control mechanics are good and they feel solid. I think adding checkpoints to this game would have made a huge difference. <br/> <br/>It is pretty cool as it is now, but adding checkpoints and improving the graphics will make the game even better!
Dec 16 04:29:00 1m 00s Cactus Simulator As I said on the stream, if this game had a bit more features it would be a cool game in its genre. A couple of more effects here and there, more animations, etc. and this would be pretty cool to play on my phone.
Dec 16 04:30:00 1m 00s CICP : the Center for Interplanetary Pest Control This game has one of the most solid and original presentations I've seen so far. Obviously, I'm talking from personal preference. <br/> <br/>I think a couple of tweaks on the visual side - making the UI tighter, things a bit more clear and getting rid of the text - would go a long way to make this game even more awesome. This is one of my personal favorites so far, even if it is pretty simple, I can see a lot of promise in it!
Dec 16 04:33:00 3m 00s Mental Machine I think the ideas that you had for this game do show through the short gameplay experience that you offer, but the game suffers from lack of development and some graphical choices that I wasn't quite on board with (erasing text with paint and just writing on top of it freehand, for example). <br/> <br/>I think that if you took some more time to develop it and dig deeper into the ideas you had, this game would have been better and more enjoyable. As it is, it's a bit too basic and incomplete for me to give you any other specific or useful feedback.
Dec 16 04:34:00 1m 00s Space Mitosis As others have said, the game was a bit too cryptic and difficult to understand for me. But somehow, I had a lot of fun playing it - isn't that weird? <br/> <br/>If you made things a bit more clear for the player, this game would be solid. It already seems to have the basis for some interesting gameplay elements, a solid camera, cool graphics, etc. <br/> <br/>It's only a matter of communicating what the game is about to the player, as he plays it. Tutorials, maybe?
Dec 16 04:36:00 2m 00s Growing Weed Cool take on the theme. As I said on the stream, it would be cool if you pushed the presentation a bit more, to make it more appealing and addictive. But the basis is there, the premise is funny and the game was overall enjoyable. <br/> <br/>I get high on this.
Dec 16 04:36:00 0s Core Guardian Simple, but solid, fun and engaging. I really liked this entry and I hope you will keep working on it a bit. It was difficult, but just the right amount. The presentation could be even better, but as it stands right now, I found it appealing. <br/> <br/>Cool stuff. Welcome to LD!
Dec 16 04:39:00 3m 00s A Shot in the Dark YES. The atmosphere in this game, as well as the mechanics were awesome. Besides some technical issues, I think this game has all its ideas in its right places. <br/> <br/>A bit of polish, maybe some more levels and more clarity regarding some of the mechanics - the different "height" in levels isn't very clear atm - would make this a great game. <br/> <br/>I loved it. One of my personal favorites so far!
Dec 16 04:41:00 2m 00s sometimes cubs grow Very nice take on the theme. I think this games does well with its simple gameplay, graphics and story. And when I say simple, I mean it in a good way : this game is clean, cohesive and beautiful. <br/> <br/>Great job.
Dec 16 04:42:00 1m 00s RhythmRider Superb presentation. Great gameplay. I would keep prasing it, but I'm still frustrated over my lack of skill. <br/> <br/>I WANT TO BEAT HARD MODE.
Dec 16 04:43:00 1m 00s Ultimate Panda Great gamefeel and elegant controls. I enjoy this type of game and art, so I felt like I was home when I played this one. <br/> <br/>Great stuff!
Dec 16 04:46:00 3m 00s Need For Seed: Undergrowth This had a very arcade-y feel, solid gameplay - although a bit cryptic at first - and nice game design ideas. <br/> <br/>I enjoyed playing it, a lot. However, I felt like the placement of the vines and bees was a bit random and sometimes it would cause the game to be unfair. Besides that minor inconvinience, I think this is a solid game!
Dec 16 04:46:00 0s Super Kawaii Timeshift Desu I trolled this troll game.
Dec 16 04:48:00 2m 00s Fifi's Space Program I enjoyed playing this one. I think there are some childish qualities that really made me enjoy this game, and the gameplay being so simple, I found myself playing it a couple of times to beat my score. <br/> <br/>I didn't find any major issues, which so far is pretty unique in itself :P
Dec 16 04:48:00 0s Simultaneism I don't want to give a review that will spoil the game, but I really like how you start playing by thinking that you chose one theme, but in reality, it's the other. <br/> <br/>Or is it both? <br/>HUH.
Dec 16 06:00:00 1h 12m Cideogen Tried playing it but I got stuck on a wall and my browser froze. Looks weird. Can you upload some other build and let me know on twitter if you do?
Dec 17 21:59:00 39h 59m Potatiana Jones Cool entry with cool ideas. I mentioned a couple of issues to you on stream, but I had a lot of fun with this one!
Dec 17 22:00:00 1m 00s SAUROPOD vs THEROPOD Cool stuff. I liked the combat mechanics and the gathering aspect of the game. I'm not sure if my evolution had any consequences on stats (attack / flee skills) but I ended up finding the game a bit easy and repetitive. Unsure if it was because of lack of balance or just because I was getting good at it, lol.
Dec 17 22:03:00 3m 00s Deep Growth The game idea is nice and it works well. If there were some type of hazards or things to avoid it would be even cooler. <br/> <br/> <br/>Good work!
Dec 17 22:04:00 1m 00s Dungeon Surge Cool game mechanics and excellent idea. I hope you keep working on it, making it tighter and communicating exactly what the game is all about from the get go. I really enjoyed this, so if you do work some more on it let me know!
Dec 17 22:09:00 5m 00s Run Forest I enjoyed playing this game even though I find some inconsistencies or part of the level design to be problematic. I think a couple of tweaks here and there would help this game stand out, which you can do for the post-compo version. <br/> <br/>Cool stuff.
Dec 17 22:10:00 1m 00s Swarmonian Explorer I loved this game. Besides the presentation, which could be improved, the core game idea is really solid, as well as the level design. <br/> <br/>I really hope you push this further and come up with something interesting. But most of all, I hope you send me a free key if it ever goes commercial :P
Dec 17 22:11:00 1m 00s Yggshroom Simple and clean game idea. Nothing too innovative, but I think the game is clear and easy to understand. It may get a bit repetitive after a while, but the presentation and solid controls make up for it.
Dec 17 22:12:00 1m 00s SAAAM This game looks and feels amazing. You guys nailed the presentation and design of it. <br/> <br/>I really enjoyed playing it even though I felt a bit of motion sickness as I played it. But that might be more on my end than the game's fault, actually. <br/> <br/>Really great game guys!
Dec 17 22:14:00 2m 00s Electric I enjoyed this game and liked the simplicity of it. The only issue I had was the controls, which I find problematic. I'm sure that being able to stop and not being constantly moving would allow the player to move with more accuracy and thus, make the game more fun and fair. <br/> <br/>Great job!
Dec 17 22:15:00 1m 00s White Rose I love the visuals in this game, I think you guys nailed it.
Dec 17 22:17:00 2m 00s Fluffy Horde Cool game. I can tell a lot of effort and hard work went into this one. The game is super solid, as well as the story, which is pretty funny too. <br/> <br/>The main issue I had though, is that I didn't know why I lost when I did. Some type of indication of progress or of the minimum requirements to survive would go a long way to make the game a bit more clear. Besides that, I think the UI is great, the graphics and gameplay too.
Dec 17 22:18:00 1m 00s Turbo Tram Drift This is Drive meets Train Simulator. Short, but really nice game. I enjoyed playing and beating this game :D
Dec 17 22:19:00 1m 00s Long Long: A snake lies in the Past Really cool take on a beloved classic. The graphics are amongst the best I've seen on the jam. The gameplay is really good too, but I think you guys made it a bit too hard on the player. <br/> <br/>Maybe more checkpoints, or making it clear when you reach one, could help this game be even better!
Dec 17 22:20:00 1m 00s There's No Going Back Really fun game. Simple, but super effective look. I enjoyed the level design for the most part - besides a couple of cheap deaths you put here and there. The idea is well executed, the goals are clear and the fact that you allow the player to progress even if he didn't get all the coins is a really good idea. <br/> <br/>I enjoyed playing through this one, even though I broke it at the end :P
Dec 17 22:20:00 0s Corpse Avenger Youtubers have to play this thing.
Dec 17 22:22:00 2m 00s HamsterX Really fun and solid game. I wish I was better at it, but from what I could see there's quite a lot of content and nice items that you can gather to build your Hamster-spaceship thingy. Great stuff. <br/> <br/>I kept calling it xHamster. The stream discovered my dark side.
