|---|---|---|---|
| Dec 16 02:58:00 | Holiday Rejects | Really like this one. Nice graphics, responsive, funny, and on theme. | |
| Dec 16 03:07:00 | 9m 00s | Elenesski's Two Bar | Nice on-theme rhythm game. Gets really hard later on. Not sure if the fakes were always differentiated by colour (since I'm somewhat colour-blind). |
| Dec 16 03:22:00 | 15m 00s | Super Sky Golf | Fun procedural golf game. Really like the elegant graphics and the music reminded me of pilotwings. Nice stuff. |
| Dec 16 03:27:00 | 5m 00s | Sadu - Clown For Hire | Nice work on incorporating both themes. Reminds me of Krusty, especially in his sigh when he pops a balloon. Love the music. |
| Dec 16 03:35:00 | 8m 00s | Grove Guardians | Nice use of both themes. Effective simple graphics. Nice job. |
| Dec 16 03:45:00 | 10m 00s | Rise of the Weeds | Nice use of both themes. I see a number of ways this could be extended for a casual mobile game. Very cool. |
| Dec 16 04:09:00 | 24m 00s | Slash Quest | Really nicely done. Cute graphics. Incorporated both themes. It started to cause my fan to spin up and the framerate to drop after several levels, but until then it was really fun. |
| Dec 16 05:22:00 | 1h 13m | Reap | Very cool game. I ended up playing for most of an hour looking for the treasure without any success. And then lost my axe somewhere :-). But I really enjoyed the elegance of it. Top notch. |
| Dec 18 02:14:00 | 44h 52m | Concrete Jungle | Wow, superb use of both themes, and a fun game to boot. Excellent job. |
| Dec 18 04:46:00 | 2h 32m | Longbeard | Really love the music. Would be curious to know what tools you used. Graphics were excellent. First time through I couldn't get the beard to do what I knew it had to do to get by the last 2 puzzles and I nearly rage quit, but I gave it a second chance and it worked. Pretty fun little game. |
| Dec 18 05:00:00 | 14m 00s | Griffin Card | I played a swap card when I had 0 attack and died. Oops. I was doing pretty well too. Love the puns. |
| Dec 18 05:09:00 | 9m 00s | Full Metal Democracy | Pretty fun game. Really liked the feel of walking over trees and buildings and blowing them up. Cool stuff. |
| Dec 18 05:23:00 | 14m 00s | Spriggan | Controls felt a bit awkward, and I expected the seeds to grow more or be more potent. I died a dozen times just trying to get past the first enemy. Interesting premise though. I like that the seeds are indirect "weapons" rather than flavoured bullets. |
| Dec 18 05:28:00 | 5m 00s | Wargraph | Really liked the subtle background that was only really visible when the lightning(?) flashed. Found it a little too fast for me, yet I seemed to get really far and take so many hits that I was wondering for a while if it was possible to fail. Nice job. |
| Dec 18 05:38:00 | 10m 00s | Don't Mess With Totems | Gorgeous graphics, and excellent incorporation of both themes. Definitely one of my favourites. |
| Dec 18 05:50:00 | 12m 00s | SEED | I'm curious whether the trees are procedural? I really like their art style. Interesting little puzzle game. Nice job. |
| Dec 18 05:56:00 | 6m 00s | Magnetic | Cool little thematic game with nice style. Nice job. |
| Dec 18 06:04:00 | 8m 00s | Grow | Was really confused at first. As soon as I understood it was fairly easy to reach the top. Really liked the art style. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 05:28:00 | 47h 24m | DUO | Good game. I got pretty far, but didn't finish because I got frustrated with a gap that I just missed several times and the last checkpoint was a while back. That aside, the visual presentation is excellent, the mechanics are clever. Really Nice job. |
| Dec 20 05:34:00 | 6m 00s | CICP : the Center for Interplanetary Pest Control | Cool game. Took me a while to realize the tesla coil would only fire every so often, and the initial wait threw me off a bit. Pretty simple once I got it. Really like the graphical presentation. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 05:37:00 | 3m 00s | Eda | Like the graphical presentation. Would be nice to highlight the currently active branch. I had a similar idea but didn't implement it so I'm really glad to see a game like this. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 05:44:00 | 7m 00s | Breathe | Graphics were cool, although one consequence of the gameplay is I don't get to stare at them. Interesting mechanic. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 05:50:00 | 6m 00s | Crusader Climber Quest 64 | Ran into a restart loop where it continuously started the game and then gave me game over. But when I was able to play it I thought it was interesting. Neat graphics and mechanics. |
| Dec 20 06:00:00 | 10m 00s | The Uncertainty Principle | Cool choose your own adventure. Like the somewhat sarcastic choice of your own death. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:07:00 | 7m 00s | Resonance | Didn't quite understand the point at first. At one point I created a loop that massively multiplied the number of moving particles. Neat game once I figured it out. |
| Dec 20 06:13:00 | 6m 00s | Sad Gorilla Boy | Cool graphics, they're a nice change of pace. Needs some more feedback of cause/effect. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:15:00 | 2m 00s | Slime Smasher | Awesome music! The mechanics reminded me of the old Track & Field arcade game. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:21:00 | 6m 00s | Egggs | Liked some of the surprises. Nice and simple mechanics. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:25:00 | 4m 00s | A Firetree Tale | Cool graphics. Good use of both themes. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:33:00 | 8m 00s | Outer Space | Nice flappy bird style space side scroller. Liked the background/foreground toggle mechanic. Nice job. |
| Dec 20 06:45:00 | 12m 00s | Ludum Vitae | Like the zen nature of this. A nice relaxing "game" to end my night of playing LD games. Would be neat to see a forest of everyone's creation. Thank you for this. |
| Dec 21 03:59:00 | 21h 14m | Spinning Around | Cool game. Impressive cylindrical engine and graphics. |
| Dec 21 04:06:00 | 7m 00s | Parse The Sky | Not really on theme, but a really beautiful looking flight game, and fun to fly around in this world. A little hard to gauge the distance to the orbs since their lighting is very flat. |
| Dec 21 04:17:00 | 11m 00s | Mobsferatu | Cool game. I had a hard time convincing my brain that the controls weren't left and right, so messed up a few times because of that. Very nice graphics. Good use of the theme. Nice job. |
| Dec 21 04:32:00 | 15m 00s | Growees | Nice looking game. Calm music helped when I'd otherwise get aggravated at returning to an earlier configuration. |
| Dec 21 04:40:00 | 8m 00s | Simultaneism | Ha. Nice twist. But it gets seriously hard fast. I didn't get to find out if there was a fourth game. |
| Dec 21 04:51:00 | 11m 00s | Enliven | Really frustrating to have to restart the level when you grow a platform just a little too high for my jump range. But I like what you're trying to do here with the theme. Nice job. |
| Dec 21 04:59:00 | 8m 00s | Rocks, maps, scissors | Not terribly thematic, but interesting spin on Rock Paper Scissors. Nice job. |
| Dec 21 05:25:00 | 26m 00s | Grow Pandora | Not very thematic, but well executed semi-tower defence / RTS type. I created problems for myself by buying rich buildings and having no money for units, and then having to wait until I was killed before trying again. Probably needs some passive income / automatic units. Anyway, nice job. |
| Dec 23 04:13:00 | 46h 48m | PISTIL PISTOL: BOTANY BLAST II | Very challenging & on-theme game. Excellent screen shake and general feel. |
| Dec 23 04:19:00 | 6m 00s | War... | Interesting experience. On the one hand, I'm not sure if any of my actions had an effect. Maybe that's the point though? |
| Dec 23 04:22:00 | 3m 00s | Jared and the Corn Nuts | Difficult QWOP style game. I always wished there was a simpler version of that, but perhaps I need even simpler... nice job though. |
| Dec 23 04:28:00 | 6m 00s | Holy Cow in a Combine! | On-theme, very difficult to get far due to RNG presenting unbeatable layouts. Amusing idea though. |
| Dec 23 04:35:00 | 7m 00s | Coalesce | Unfortunately there were no other players available. |
| Dec 23 04:56:00 | 21m 00s | Dangerzone- the zen game | Not sure what was happening. If I moved the mouse, the guns still seemed to fire straight back, or was I just moving really quickly? |
| Dec 23 05:02:00 | 6m 00s | Tug-o-War | Need to detect a gamepad that's turned on after the game loads. I had to reload the whole page because I was fetching my gamepad while doing a first load. Once that was solved, it was interesting. Neat simple graphics. Nice job. |
| Dec 23 05:25:00 | 23m 00s | The Temple of Horyuji | Really nice game, aside from no sound (try sfxr, like the rest of us who suck at sounds :-)). Beautiful graphics, uses both themes, decent gameplay (although if I had known my tower would only take one hit, I probably would've spent more time on my defences). The first few days are pretty slow, but I enjoyed it. Really nice job. |
| Dec 23 05:35:00 | 10m 00s | Sad Submission | Cool parallax scrolling background (or true 3d, but cool nevertheless). Like the graphic styles (even if they're a bit disjoint). Wasn't really sure how it related to the theme. The text was so small when I reached Santa that I couldn't even read it right next to my monitor. |
| Dec 24 21:26:00 | 39h 51m | Light and Bacteria | Cool mechanics. I got the the 75g, 200r, 200b level and then it seemed the bacterium stopped splitting and just kept growing, which made it a bit frustrating. Fairly clear graphics, although I'd suggest making the contrast between light and not-light a little more pronounced. Nice game. |
| Dec 24 21:31:00 | 5m 00s | Macosa and the Cave by: Stefen Menzel/Andrew Herbst | It didn't seem to size in my firefox browser correctly, and full screen did some weird stuff when I left the room. Interesting (and on theme) concept/mechanics though. Nice job. |
| Dec 24 21:35:00 | 4m 00s | fungus fungus fungus | Interesting concept & mechanics. I didn't really want to hammer on my gamepad analog stick too much, but still managed to win. Think it could be more interesting to not rely on wiggle so much, but don't have any idea how that would work. |
| Dec 27 04:24:00 | 54h 49m | It's Full of Stars | Interesting experience. Really nice audio. Sometimes the hover description wouldn't work. Would like to know what the other lines that appeared were all about (other players, random?) |
| Dec 27 04:48:00 | 24m 00s | Space Beards | Very amusing. Really liked the mechanic for making you stay close to the thing that can kill you. Nice job. |
| Dec 27 05:01:00 | 13m 00s | Hey, My Name is Joe! | Amusing. Gets repetitive of course, but is responsive, is on theme, and entertained me for a bit. |
| Dec 27 05:07:00 | 6m 00s | AutoInvaders | Sticks to the theme. I had a hard time timing my shield at the start of a level, so could've used a simple countdown mechanic of some sort. Nice job. |
| Dec 27 05:11:00 | 4m 00s | Flow | Relaxing experience. Nice crisp graphics. I especially like the day -> night transition. Nice job. |
| Jan 1 20:02:00 | 134h 51m | BOOM BOAT | Really nice game. Like the mechanic for making you want to stay close to lots of bombs. |
| Jan 1 20:04:00 | 2m 00s | Puff Enuff? | Nice game. Wasn't quite sure of the goal, but it was fun to hop around and blast stuff. |
| Jan 1 20:18:00 | 14m 00s | Row Row Row Your Goat | Very nice art. Very frustrating game at the later levels. Fingers were getting sore by the end. Nice job. |
| Jan 1 20:29:00 | 11m 00s | #AsterMaze | Cool game. Like the challenge ramp up on later levels. Clear controls and use of the theme. Would be interesting to do some procedural mazes (assuming you haven't already... I only got to the Christmas Tree level). |
| Jan 1 23:03:00 | 2h 34m | Meowtastic Present Panic | Amused by the cat in a santa suit. On theme and well executed. Cute graphics. Nice job. |
| Jan 1 23:09:00 | 6m 00s | GrowingPain | Simple concept, but still needs a lot of polish/depth/feel (e.g. bobbing character, moving waves, stamina meter, etc.). |
| Jan 1 23:16:00 | 7m 00s | The cursed Queen of Exobia | Really like the concept. Would love gamepad controls for this one. Graphics are good, although could be clearer just how far it's going to grow (maybe that's the point though). Really nice job. |
| Jan 2 01:30:00 | 2h 14m | Snake Scape | Really nice game. Liked the graphics & music. Nailed both themes too. Well done. |
| Jan 2 01:31:00 | 1m 00s | Tailwind | Cool idea. I got stuck in a wall at some point, but I really like the idea that you need to take separate paths for each lap. Well done! |
