| Dec 15 01:54:00 | Another Dragon | Really enjoyed it. It's very polished. I found the checkpointing to be fine. The first section was the hardest for me; took me a couple dozen tries. I managed the cavern on the first try, and the dragon in two tries. Loved the atmosphere; you managed to capture that AW feeling perfectly. | |
| Dec 15 02:03:00 | 9m 00s | OSHIYA! PUSH! | Yatta! This is great fun. Love the art and the music. The whole concept is pretty unique and well executed. Would've been nice to make the tutorial text a little bigger as I didn't notice it at first, but that's no problem once you know the mechanics. |
| Dec 15 02:12:00 | 9m 00s | 2 Roll | It's pretty difficult but compels you to retry. The art and sound are very atmospheric. Loved the cog sound in particular. |
| Dec 15 02:30:00 | 18m 00s | All Sorts of Spooky | Made it to world 4 on my longest run. I like how there is no time limit so it allows you to think about the optimal move for score. I didn't realize where the health was until I read the above comment just now, but that was really the only issue I had. I can imagine myself getting into a zen with this and playing it for long stretches. |
| Dec 15 02:46:00 | 16m 00s | Interview at Incredible Inc | I hope my zillion units a year salary converts well in to British pounds! Great game, despite brining back many uncomfortable interview memories from yesteryear. ;) |
| Dec 15 02:59:00 | 13m 00s | Shape Magnet | It works well. Needs more levels, but the levels that are there show a great direction for a physics puzzler. It was frustrating, but in a fun way, to scramble around on the balls. |
| Dec 15 03:17:00 | 18m 00s | Cell growth | Works find on Windows 10 64bit btw. I couldn't work out how to damage the tumour either. I did enjoy collecting the nutrients. |
| Dec 15 03:35:00 | 18m 00s | Bridge Balance | I found it pretty intuitive. Would have liked a timer for the next log falling, or at least a hint it was about to happen. Seems to work pretty solidly. |
| Dec 15 04:02:00 | 27m 00s | Trellis | This is truly beautiful art work, and in such a short space of time! You should make a full game out of this for sure. |
| Dec 15 04:29:00 | 27m 00s | Flutter | You managed a lot of mechanics and levels in a short space of time, good job! It was pretty intuitive mechanically. Some puzzles stumped me briefly but nothing was overly hard - good progression. |
| Dec 15 19:22:00 | 14h 53m | Metal World Chaos | The art style is solid. I like the player character design. Shame you didn't get to finish, but what you have here has potential. |
| Dec 15 19:40:00 | 18m 00s | Squirrel Forest | I would have liked a pause button since it can be quite long to play. Also a speed up time button would have been handy. Once I understood it I enjoyed it, but it needs more explanation up front. |
| Dec 15 20:30:00 | 50m 00s | subatomic borrower | The jumping felt a bit floaty. I struggled with the fading platforms. Really liked the concept, art style and writing. Climbing up the girl sprite was a cool idea but could have used more visual cues rather than the hints. |
| Dec 15 20:40:00 | 10m 00s | Sumou no Kurieta | Turns out I have a pretty poor short term memory! It's got a fun aesthetic, is challenging, and the music is great. |
| Dec 15 20:53:00 | 13m 00s | Testing Lab xy | Got stuck on the third level. I think you have to use the collectables as a shield to get close enough to escape? It can be quite exhilarating when you just narrowly duck behind a corner. I enjoyed it but would have preferred to be able to adjust the direction both clockwise and counter-clockwise, even though that would make it three buttons I guess. |
| Dec 15 21:06:00 | 13m 00s | Let Me Explain | The picture of the angel has me really curious to know more. This was pretty damn dark, but that made it so much more engrossing. Great aesthetic and sound effects. |
| Dec 15 21:16:00 | 10m 00s | Very Hungry SNAKE | After the initial few seconds it went places I didn't expect. A fun way to take something classic and expand on it. |
| Dec 15 21:43:00 | 27m 00s | Flobe | Nice concept. It's quite zen once you get going. There is a bug where if you make the rod perfectly vertical and as small as it can go then you can no longer move either end, but otherwise it works nicely. I can't imagine this being fun without analogue stick controls, so you're right to not have any keyboard controls IMHO. |
| Dec 17 19:30:00 | 45h 47m | Plant Lab | Fantastic take on the theme. Growing money is always fun. ;-) Some goals to work towards would have been nice. I really like the graphical style too. |
| Dec 17 19:41:00 | 11m 00s | How I Rolled your Snowball: The Ultimate Simulator | "Misc" is a pretty vague term. It's not clear what it applies to at first. It was fun and used both themes well. I liked how it progressed. Later on the performance really took a dive which hindered playability quite a bit. Nice music! |
| Dec 17 19:45:00 | 4m 00s | React! | This is great fun for being so simple! Great idea and implementation! Love it. :-) |
| Dec 17 20:39:00 | 54m 00s | There's Always a Bigger... | Mechanically solid and responsive. 87249 was my best run. |
| Dec 17 20:47:00 | 8m 00s | Ultimate Sky Horse Rider | Funky music. Liked the aesthetic, it was a bit surreal. Functionally it worked well, but I would have liked some increase in difficulty. Good use of both themes. |
| Dec 17 21:03:00 | 16m 00s | Survive the Moco | 38 seconds is all I could manage before my arm died. Holding down left mouse seemed to work sometimes, but sometimes was slow to respond, so I went with clicking it, which is I assumed the correct way to play? Loved the music! |
| Dec 17 21:40:00 | 37m 00s | Carol and the Beanstalk | Finally made it to the top! It has that "just one more go" quality to it. The audio levels were off: the music was super quiet compared to the sound effects. Fun game and good use of both themes. |
| Dec 17 22:23:00 | 43m 00s | It's a Big World Afterall | Wonderful concept and use of the theme. The growing levels work perfectly. I'd love to play a full game with this concept and art-style. |
| Dec 17 23:32:00 | 1h 09m | 2DCube Simulator | I think what you were going for was a solid foundation and good use of the theme, you just needed to develop it further. Perhaps some more penalty for not pressing the right button or some obstacles or some kind? Good effort. :-) |
| Dec 17 23:46:00 | 14m 00s | Life... yet, Death! | Big audio points for using classic music that fits your death theme. It's pretty dark subject matter but it's fun in that cookie clicker kind of way. |
| Dec 18 00:09:00 | 23m 00s | SUPER SCIENCE CORP | Great work. The controls were solid. I liked the different forms of the bugs; there was a good variety and I liked not knowing what they were going to become until I'd shot them for the first time. The voice acting was a nice touch and added some humour. |
| Dec 18 00:32:00 | 23m 00s | MotherCube (strategic puzzle) | Interesting concept. I liked that it was isometric--don't see many iso games in LD. It has a good progression in terms of difficulty and new mechanics. |
| Dec 18 00:42:00 | 10m 00s | Don't Look Back | I'm getting the sense that they're running from Nazis? You managed to create a lot of atmosphere, which was good. Solid and complete for a first LD entry. Good job. :-) |
| Dec 18 00:58:00 | 16m 00s | Billy's Big Day | Excellent use of the themes. Really liked the music. Can't get past the city, it's damn hard (in a good way!) |
| Dec 18 01:04:00 | 6m 00s | Get the fuck out! | This game is crazy in a good way. Made me chuckle and I had fun. :-) |
| Dec 18 19:58:00 | 18h 54m | Grow and Regrow | Interesting take on the theme. Not sure my solution to the level with target of 7 was correct (make a big loop with 1 vine and then just drop all 6 seeds in a line?) Worked well. |
| Dec 18 20:09:00 | 11m 00s | Red or Blue | Definitely needed at least some simple goal. Functional basis for a shooter though, so good job on that. |
| Dec 18 21:03:00 | 54m 00s | WAR GROWTH | Fun game, very challenging. Has a cool aesthetic too. |
| Dec 18 21:16:00 | 13m 00s | Growing Silent Night | No idea what I'm supposed to do when the arrows are on the screen. I assumed I was meant to hit the same direction key as shown, but nothing happens? I experienced a few crashes. The story is pretty interesting. I hope your grandfather isn't like that in reality! :-) |
| Dec 18 21:38:00 | 22m 00s | Growing Sakura | Nice puzzle game. Simple, intuitive logic but it gets hard pretty fast. Great job. |
| Dec 18 22:27:00 | 49m 00s | yaschiki | This is creepy and tense. I love it. :-) |
| Dec 19 02:29:00 | 4h 02m | Snake Growth | Fun game. Would have been easier to play at a a higher resolution. |
| Dec 21 20:27:00 | 65h 58m | Tamamystery | Simply fantastic. It went in such an unexpected direction. Great work. :-) |
