| Dec 15 14:17:00 | Your City | Nice work! <br/> <br/>The audio is quite nice and relaxing. I really like the pixelarts of your buildings and tiles :) Didn't quite figure out, how to get the city going well, but it was fun anyway! <br/> <br/>I played the LD version (not post-compo). <br/>Random thoughts and bugs: <br/>-Tutorial: If you press backscape on the first message, you can't go forward again <br/>-If you zoom out, the bg does not fill the screen. All special tiles like trees are drawn, but grass tiles are only draw in the central screen area. <br/>-Tile selection glitches on wide zoom level (wrong tiles selected) <br/>-An alternative tile selection mode would be nice for people without mousewheel ;) <br/>-The drawalgorithm seems to draw last placed buildings last, so buildings placed behind existing buildings are drawn on top <br/>-I didn't really figure out, how to get resources... <br/>-An explanation of what building is selected would be nice. "Selected Tile: Tile" seems to be a bug. <br/>-Explanations of building effects would also help (Additional to the money cost: Impacts on population, food, etc.) | |
| Dec 15 14:27:00 | 10m 00s | Harvest | Awesome work! <br/> <br/>I love the pixelart graphics, they look really nice! The music is really fiting and sets the mood really good. <br/> <br/>Unfortunately I died on the third day of hunger. If you start without any explanation and need to figure out what to do by yourself, time gets really short (I could only harvest one single wheat, before I died). The enemies are a nice addition! <br/> <br/>Well done! |
| Dec 15 20:37:00 | 6h 10m | Santa goes to town | Very fun game. I liked how santa was riding the presents :'D <br/>The block engine looks really nice! <br/> <br/>The wall right in front on level 5 was a bit frustrating, because you loose ~3 lives before realizing what to do. That feels a bit unfair ;) <br/> <br/>Unfortunately the program crashed on level 7, while sliding off the bottom left edge, while on a present and direction set to bottom right: http://imgur.com/8ArI3VP <br/>Hope this helps ;) <br/> <br/>All in all nice work! |
| Dec 15 20:45:00 | 8m 00s | Concrete Jungle | Very fun game. It was a bit hard to figure out the controls, but after that in was a nice experience! <br/> <br/>Nice work :) |
| Dec 15 20:56:00 | 11m 00s | Bad Cloud | Very cute game! <br/>It looks really nice and the audio is fitting. I found it quite hard to aim the lightning and didn't understand, why it would want to make it rain. A little bit of explanation would have been nice. <br/> <br/>All in all great work! |
| Dec 15 21:37:00 | 41m 00s | Snake Scape | This game is so great! <br/>Great visuals, audio und gameplay! I really enjoyed playing it. <br/>The temple on the ending is quite hard to see. A bit more contrast would be nice there. The snake looks really cute on the "plop"-frame :) <br/>Unfortunetely I died on the menu after completing the game... is the easteregg the (WARNING! THIS MAY BE A SPOILER!) "san** mo**"? After dying it didn't display in any more. Did I miss anything? :( <br/> <br/>One thing that I noticed was, that it would be nice, if the time-switches would look differently from the normal ones (especialy the 3rd one on the last level ;) <br/> <br/>This is definetly one of my favorites this time! |
| Dec 15 22:26:00 | 49m 00s | Trimmer Tycoon | Very fun game :D I like the idea! <br/>Aiming was a bit tricky. <br/>Nice work! |
| Dec 15 22:34:00 | 8m 00s | Normal Factory | Nice game! <br/>Gets a bit repetitive after some time, but the graphics look quite nice ;) |
| Dec 16 00:02:00 | 1h 28m | Green Fingers Award | Nice work! <br/>It was really fun to play, but I don't quite get, why you would want to buy upgrades or plant carrots. Once things were going, I harvested my tomatoes with the harvester and replanted immediately. With >3:30 on the clock I sold 175 tomatoes for >2k and won. I only bought the stall upgrade once and none of the seeds upgrades. <br/>You wrote, that you have no art experience, but I think the gfx look quite decent ;) <br/>I really liked playing your game. Good job! |
| Dec 16 00:08:00 | 6m 00s | Growing Trees! | The graphics look really nice. Its a bit strange, that you can grow trees on the ocean ;) <br/>It would be nice, if you could add some gameplay, because the look is nice. Oh and I would suggest to stop the constant movement, since it makes "aiming" a bit difficult ;) |
| Dec 16 00:30:00 | 22m 00s | Centi-Snake | Nice game! It feels really arcady :) <br/>Tbh, I think the loose condition could be a lot more strictly! After some time I had enough, so I ran into a wall. With only the head left, it took about 10 seconds until I lost. <br/>The graphics and sounds are really fitting and its fun to play, but its "too hard to loose" ;) <br/>Great work! <br/> <br/>P.S. I got 1823745 points ;) |
| Dec 16 11:02:00 | 10h 32m | La Mano Loca (Sticky Hand) | Thats a nice game! It was very fun to play, but the controls sometimes bug out. Sometimes I wasn't able to move. I think it was after I was hit. The gfx look really nice and the audio is really fitting. <br/>Nice work! |
| Dec 16 11:19:00 | 17m 00s | OrbiHop | I really like your game! I love playing with gravity, so this was really great! The gfx look quite nice ;) <br/>Maybe you should consider not using the shift key, so that windows users don't get the sticky keys message when rapidly hitting shift (to precisely adjust power) ;) <br/> <br/>The game definitely is one of my favorites! :) |
| Dec 16 13:50:00 | 2h 31m | Knitted Fighter | The game looks quite fun from the screenshots. Unfortunately its not really playable... When I hit play, it says "defeat" and then starts a new game. Sometimes the oponent doesn't do anything, sometimes it tells me I've won without a visible reason and sometimes the screen stays blank. <br/>Btw. the game doesn't scale if I scale the website in my browser (Firefox 42.0, Win 7). <br/> <br/>I hope that you will be able to fix the bugs. I'll keep an eye on this site, to retry and give proper feedback :) |
| Dec 16 14:07:00 | 17m 00s | Squ | This is a really cute game! <br/>The graphics look nice and the audio is fitting. <br/>Unfortunately I got stuck on a black screen after completing level 4-2 (Firefox 42.0, Win 7) <br/>All in all great work! |
| Dec 16 14:18:00 | 11m 00s | Fat Cat | Nice came :) <br/>I like the gfx and audio very much! <br/>It would have been nice to have an indication of the area, where button presses will affect food, because sometimes you press a button before the food can be eaten/discarded, what may disturb the flow. <br/>The other thing is, that keyboard input would have been nice. Especially on later levels you don't have the time to move your eyes all over the screen to aim for the buttons, click it and move your eye back to the front of the conveyor belt. It would help, it you wouldn't have to take your eyes off the conveyor belt at all ;) <br/> <br/>All in all nice work! |
| Dec 16 14:28:00 | 10m 00s | Pandora | Nice game! <br/>Graphics look nice and the audio is great! <br/>It gets a bit repetitive after some time, but that may be because of the fact, that the goal is to get a high score ;) <br/>All in all nice work! |
| Dec 16 14:52:00 | 24m 00s | SUPER PLANT FRENZY | Very cute game! <br/>The graphics are great and the audio is very fitting! <br/>Its a bit tricky to turn, when moving at the edge of the playfield. I wanted to turn 180° by rapidly hitting a turn key, but bumped into the wall and was a bit irritated for a little moment. <br/> <br/>Would it be possible to ship the game without installer? I don't really like to install LD games, since most of them dont stay on my computer for too long and its a bit awkward to install and uninstall games. I personly like to unzip an archive, toss the game folder on to my desktop, play the game and delete the folder afterwards. The process sround playing the game is very quick that way. But thats just a personal opinion, which I do not involve into the game rating! ;) |
| Dec 17 16:35:00 | 25h 43m | Monster Factory | I loved playing this! Its very fun, but in my eyes it has two substantial problems: <br/>-Its quite hard to get the factory running in the beginning <br/>-When you have 7 spawners, a monster goes through the portal on each step, so the game is basically over ;) <br/> <br/>I think it would be even more fun, if you would add more factory components and maybe a smooth moving system. All in all great work so far! |
| Dec 17 16:45:00 | 10m 00s | GrowForce | Nice work! <br/>Its quite fun to grow the tree, but a goal and/or a reason to branch would have been nice ;) |
| Dec 17 16:58:00 | 13m 00s | MotherCube (strategic puzzle) | Great work! <br/>I thought it would be nice, if this had a grouping feature and if you were able to jump to the troops with the number keys. Then I realized, you have implemented both. Awesome! :) |
| Dec 17 23:18:00 | 6h 20m | SUPER SCIENCE CORP | The game is super awesome! I liked the story, audio is perfect, gfx are nice, great story and it has this half-life-feeling! <br/> <br/>Well, I have some points to mention: <br/>-Screenscrolling could be better. Sometimes it feels like the screen would run behind the player. <br/>-Sorry to say that, but aiming is a pain! It seems, that your aiming-algorithm uses the position ~1/2 tiles to the right and bottom as the player-position. This gif might explain, what I mean: http://imgur.com/Jg0q7hU <br/>-The thing that buggs me the most is the fact, that my firewall told me, that your game was trying to access the internet. Why is that? Is it some unity data collection, I (the player) am not informed about? This may be a bit exaggeratedly, but I get quite mad, seeing programs trying to make a call home without any good reason, especially, when that happens in bg ;) <br/> <br/>You have created a really awosome game with minor flaws! This is one of my favorite games this LD! Nice! :) |
| Dec 17 23:41:00 | 23m 00s | Antfood | Weired but cool experience! <br/>It would help, if you would provide some explanation of how the game works, so the player doesn't need to guess too much. My first atempt brought me to winter, but with only 12 food. After somewhat realizing what was going on, I managed to collect 118 food on my second try ;) <br/>Some absolute values for food and colony size would be nice, so that you don't need to rely purely on gut feeling. <br/>Nice work! <br/> <br/>I managed to collect 118 food :) |
| Dec 18 00:01:00 | 20m 00s | What does Sam do ? | I think this was really great! <br/>The win xp gfx reminded me a bit of "emily is away" ;) <br/>The ited, that you explore stories through a context menu is really great, but it has one major flaw: it closes, once the cursor leaves a menu. It made me rage quit, after accidentially closin a really long chain :D <br/>The sound system is awesome! It sets the mood extremely well. It's a bit tediuos to read lots of text, but here I had the feeling of going on a real journey starting on the desktop and extending into interesting worlds. The soundsystem helps imagining this worlds quite well! <br/>Well done, great work :) |
| Dec 18 00:14:00 | 13m 00s | Growing Sakura | Awesome game! One of my favorites :) <br/>The gfx look nice, especialy the win-animation. The sounds are fitting and have some kind of "eastern"/japanese sound :) <br/>It was a nice experience to play the game! |
| Dec 18 00:29:00 | 15m 00s | Earth Maker | Its a nice base for a game! <br/>I would recomend not scaling the star-bg, since starmaps are more of less fractals and even on a high zoom you should see some stars in the bg ;) <br/>Also the slowing down of the movement is a bit annoying, since it doesn't make gameplay more interesting (e.g. running away harder) but only slows progress down. <br/>A progress bar for the planet stages would maybe make people not quit that quickly. Atm there is no indication if you could discover new stages (I quit on a quite huge earth, because I thought that was it, but was not that sure...). <br/>Maybe you could make something happen on the plantet, e.g. life evolving, what is affected by the elements you collect. <br/>All in all nice work! I hope you make a bigger game out of it :) |
| Dec 18 00:42:00 | 13m 00s | Models! | This was really fun :D <br/>A little more explanation about the scoring zone would have been nice ;) <br/>The levels could be a bit harder, since running perfectly make them beatable in a "single run". If this is a joke about the challenge of the model "job", please ignore that comment :'D <br/>Nice work :) |
| Dec 18 01:00:00 | 18m 00s | Growing Xmas Tree | This is so nice of you! Very cute idea :) It really made me smile. <br/>The gfx look very nice and the music gives a very christmassy feel. The line-smoothing-mechanics are great! Some more options, like an eraser and coloring, would have been nice ;) <br/>I'm surprised, that there is only one controversal drawing on the tree... I would have expected lots of dick-drawings. Its quite risky to let people draw anonymously on the web ;) <br/>Whatsoever... Thank you very much for this heartwarming entry and the smile it gave me :) |
| Dec 18 14:31:00 | 13h 31m | Growth Industries | Nice game! <br/>The viral video was fun ;) |
| Dec 18 14:42:00 | 11m 00s | AscenS | Nice work there :) <br/>The shortcut didn't work for me, but the html file finally did. <br/>The game gets quite hard when the red bugs start to spawn. It was pretty fun to play. |
| Dec 18 14:53:00 | 11m 00s | Monster Munch | Nice game! <br/>Idk if its an exploit, but you can simply hold one hand above your head and "throw" food into your mouth, by simply "clicking" the hand above the head. The other hand kann stay on the light generator/conveyor button ;) <br/>Very nice work there! |
| Dec 19 14:00:00 | 23h 07m | Orbital Panic | Nice game! <br/>The concept is very interesting, but quite hard to get your head around. <br/>I quit on the "survive for 60 s" level with the rapitly moving suns, because each time a huge fast suns did eat me :( 60s may be a bit long. <br/>All in all great work! |
| Dec 19 15:16:00 | 1h 16m | Your Very Own Vampire Garden | The game itself is pretty fun, but the main problem is, that timing and gamelogic aren't just decoupled, but completely separated. Because of that, the program executes less cycles during day/night, when the load gets heavier. Tham means, that vampires and visitors move less spaces and interact with fewer plants. After some time the game basically comes to a full stop, because either the customers cant reach plants to give you money or plants die off, bacause vampires cant reach them. <br/>If you could fix that issue, the game would be really fun. In fact the first days (before "lag" kicks in) are really fun! <br/>Nice work! |
| Dec 19 15:35:00 | 19m 00s | Attrition | The game looks really gream, but I cant quite get it going smoothly. Maybe a tutorial would be helpful ;) <br/>Also I didn't get, why you should be selecting a card and then need to click a button, positioned half across the screen. I would recommend to work UI over, but thats just a suggestion ;) <br/>Gfx look very beautiful (especially the cards!) and the audio is very fitting. <br/>All in all awesome work! <br/> <br/>To the graphics card issues: The game seems to not be compatible with certain gfx cards. My basic Intel chip didn't want to play it, while my nVidia card had no problems at all. |
| Dec 19 17:03:00 | 1h 28m | Attack Of The Radioactive Octopus From A Planet Near Mars | Great work! <br/>Gfx look nice and sounds are fitting :) <br/>It would be nice, if humans/tanks wouldnt run through "buildings" in the bg. <br/>The game feels really nice, because the tentacles move in nice patterns ;) <br/>I got 225292 points. <br/> <br/>P.S.: Awesome game title :D |
| Dec 19 17:41:00 | 38m 00s | Fertilized Crops Xtreme | I like this very much! <br/>The gameplay is quite satisfying, once you get used to it. <br/>Some random critique: <br/>-I think there are more crops than needed, since I didnt use the ones in the range of 12-10$ at all and most of the other ones only once or twice <br/>-Upgrading mechanic is great, it gives lots of strategic potential <br/>-I think the time constraint is quite generic. I would have likes a relaxed endless game mode. (Maybe additional) <br/> <br/>The game reminded me a lot of harvest moon, but I like your controlscheme more! I think this has quite some potential :) <br/>Great work! |
| Dec 19 19:42:00 | 2h 01m | PinFootBall | Very nice take on football/pinball :) <br/>Its quite hard, but if it was easy, it would be called football :P Once you get into the controls, its really fun. <br/>The sounds were really great! <br/>It seems to be quite resource intensive, since it was stuttering real hard, when my laptop was on bettery mode. <br/>Great work! <br/>I scored 5630 points :) |
| Dec 20 19:35:00 | 23h 53m | OVERGROWN . UNDERFED | The game looks really beautiful right now. On the win64-version it lookes a bit like the enemies would throw up on you :D I realized it was claw-attacks on the html5 version ;) <br/>There seems to be some kind of problem with the sound, because both, webplayer and win64 didn't play any sound for me (absolutely no peak in audio settings), while the html5 version did. <br/> <br/>The visuals are really beautiful and gameplay is quite crisp, while a goal would have been nice. <br/>All in all great work! |
