| Apr 18 15:26:00 | Reptile Politik | I'm too embarrassed to post my high score but let's just say I barely hit double figures. :) <br/> <br/>This is a smart, fun little game with a nice take on the theme. I really enjoyed playing! | |
| Apr 18 21:28:00 | 6h 02m | gunshift | Fun! I had to quit level 6 before I popped a blood vessel though... :) A really solid entry with some neat mechanics. |
| Apr 18 21:48:00 | 20m 00s | Shapeshifting Ice Hockey | Ha! I've always thought ice hockey could use a few more bears. :) <br/> <br/>This was fun to play with potential for some interesting gameplay if all the shapeshift classes were implemented. The controls weren't immediately intuitive but I did get used to them. <br/> <br/>I'm not quite sure how the bear helped me. Less vulnerable to being challenged? <br/> <br/>Anyway, a fun and creative entry! |
| Apr 18 21:58:00 | 10m 00s | The Night Shift | Loved the rant at the beginning! The 'Stop Smiling!' line made me laugh aloud. :) <br/> <br/>Neat mechanics and gorgeous visuals/sound. Tricky gameplay too, without being too tough. Nice work! |
| Apr 18 22:06:00 | 8m 00s | Shapescape | A neat little concept, presented in a very clean and polished way. I felt it needed some further twist to the gameplay to keep me engaged past a couple of tries, but it was a fun and strangely calming experience. :) |
| Apr 18 22:11:00 | 5m 00s | Chrysalide | Once I figured out exactly what to do, I loved this. The music and visuals work exceedingly well together to make a really distinctive mood. Excellent! |
| Apr 18 22:16:00 | 5m 00s | Shift that Shape! | Solid concept and mood. Could have used some sort of twist to make it more than just a speed challenge but I did enjoy playing. The graphics actually felt really nice to me - I liked the colour scheme especially. Good work! |
| Apr 18 22:26:00 | 10m 00s | Shape Shift Racer | Put me in mind of the great Spy Hunter right away. Thanks for the nostalgia trip! <br/> <br/>Smooth and engaging gameplay although I did find myself wishing I could see a little more of the road ahead. Solid sound and visuals. |
| Apr 19 06:41:00 | 8h 15m | The Professional Shapeshifter | I got the job! I'm glad I played for a second time and realised that you had a bank of questions rather than just one set. This was a really fun little experience - would be perfect with some more challenging difficulty levels. Great music too. |
| Apr 19 06:53:00 | 12m 00s | Jugales | Fantastic! Great take on the theme and really satisfying, almost therapeutic, gameplay. The visuals and sound set the mood perfectly and I passed quite a few happy minutes on this! It would work really nice as a minigame within an rpg, I think. Great work! |
| Apr 19 07:10:00 | 17m 00s | The Esoteric Order of Shapeshifters | I love this! It does indeed seem pretty esoteric at first but as you get used to the rules it becomes really very satisfying to play. I'd love to see it expanded with a mode in which you fight against another wizard by changing your animal accordingly (but I do of course understand that time was a bit limited for this - you've done a lot of work here as it is!). <br/> <br/>A very cool concept which really works. One of my favourites so far! |
| Apr 19 07:51:00 | 41m 00s | Sculptor Simulator | Fun in a relaxed sort of way, I got sucked into this really quickly and played until I realised my bust was beyond saving! Great concept and mood. I only wish the sculpture itself could be placed a little further to the left so the guide picture didn't interfere with your view so much (unless I've missed a way of minimising it?). <br/> <br/>Thanks for 10 minutes of contemplative fun! Very enjoyable. |
| Apr 19 07:58:00 | 7m 00s | Werehunter | Excellent take on the theme and a really cool mechanic. The set-ups were very clever and I guessed all of the animals correctly except for the spider. I did have trouble figuring out which animal was best for killing them in one or two of the rounds though. <br/> <br/>Altogether a really smart and enjoyable game! |
| Apr 19 08:03:00 | 5m 00s | Dreadwood | Really solid mood and concept. The controls felt a little floaty and a few more animations would have gone a long way (even some simple up/down on the legs for walking) but I felt there was a lot of potential here. Some respawn points would be nice though! <br/> <br/>Altogether a really nice and atmospheric little platformer. :) |
| Apr 19 08:10:00 | 7m 00s | Sheepshifter | The look and feel of this is incredible! Fantastic concept and great atmosphere. I did feel the actual gameplay could have done with something extra to keep me engaged past a couple of rounds but I really enjoyed playing nonetheless. Great work! |
| Apr 19 08:27:00 | 17m 00s | Shape Renegade | Okay that was fun! Simple, sweet mechanics and a lovely crunchy feel. Very enjoyable! |
| Apr 19 08:42:00 | 15m 00s | Zord's Dank Carpet | Haha! This was a lot of good, clean, goofy fun! My own entry could almost be a companion piece to this - it shares the pursuing 'shadow' and has a similarly hapless protagonist. <br/> <br/>Anyway, I enjoyed it a lot even if there is no chance whatsoever of me winning the Megaprize... Great graphics, sound, controls and mood. |
| Apr 19 09:02:00 | 20m 00s | Starship Janitor | Fun and surprisingly strategic! You have to think about when to shoot just to delay enemies and when to move in with the net. Graphics and sound were nice and functional although a few animations would have gone a long way. Gameplay was tight! |
| Apr 19 09:16:00 | 14m 00s | Speigas | Effective AI, simple and intuitive gameplay, nice visuals and music. Great work! |
| Apr 19 09:23:00 | 7m 00s | Pacifist Hill | Haha, awesome sound effects. :) There's a lot of charm here, despite the fact that the rectangular shield is possibly the worst invention ever! I had a lot of fun playing and I'm impressed by the variety you managed to squeeze in. Good work! |
| Apr 19 09:30:00 | 7m 00s | Geometry Shift | Sometimes the simplest concepts can be the best! This was lots of fun - Smooth mechanics with a satisfying difficulty curve. Nice work! (Score: 250 twice!) |
| Apr 19 09:39:00 | 9m 00s | Quad Vector vs the Quantum Cats | Those cats genuinely freaked me out a couple of times! Great presentation and interesting gameplay. The driving controls seemed slightly odd (turning at low speeds causes the car to stop?) but once I got the hang of it I did pretty well. Good work! |
| Apr 19 09:46:00 | 7m 00s | Bee Gone | Lovely mechanic - once you get to grips with it, it feels really intuitive and satisfying. I played this for far longer than I'd expected and had a lot of fun. Only one very tiny suggestion - I would have liked the dead bees to look 'deader' somehow. :) <br/> <br/>Awesome work - one of my favourites so far! |
| Apr 19 11:14:00 | 1h 28m | Goons | Pure fun indeed! I played all 3 levels and had a blast. Nice art, sound and gameplay, very satisfying experience. My favourite object to use was the fan, I think. :) |
| Apr 19 12:49:00 | 1h 35m | JaJa's Bizarre Transformer | I have to admit that I have no idea what the reference other players have mentioned is, but I certainly enjoyed this a lot! Great art style, awesome gameplay, fantastic overall mood and feel. My favourite entry so far! |
| Apr 19 13:03:00 | 14m 00s | The Other Woman | That was fantastic! What a great idea for a game, so many clever mechanics and possibilities in there. I'd truly love to see this fleshed out into a full game. :) <br/> <br/>I just wrote in my previous review that I'd found my favourite game so far but now I need to update that! I loved everything about this - art, music, atmosphere and gameplay. Definitely 5 stars from me. |
| Apr 19 13:20:00 | 17m 00s | gay vampire from outer space | I have awoken! As well as being a lot of fun to play, this game is a valuable and timely exposé of the reptilian overlords who control our destinies. Your mom is a very wise lady. |
| Apr 19 13:27:00 | 7m 00s | Sumo Shape Shifters | I can't fault this. I didn't know I wanted a game about sumo shapes until just now. Couldn't get four players but had a blast with three. Great graphics, perfect voice-overs (the sheer vitality and energy in your gruntwork is outstanding!) and slick gameplay. <br/> <br/>Roger is my favourite. |
| Apr 19 13:35:00 | 8m 00s | Morphlings | It seems there's only one map of three available? I enjoyed it a lot though, very satisfying mechanics and good atmosphere. Potential for a much bigger game here. |
| Apr 19 13:53:00 | 18m 00s | Mission: Decomposition | Nice! I didn't know maggots were so cute or so aggressive. :) Lovely atmosphere, great presentation and slick gameplay. Good work! |
| Apr 19 17:02:00 | 3h 09m | Shapegrammer | I was terrible at this but I enjoyed it all the same! The way the tangram reshuffles itself is really cool. Lovely presentation too, right down to the evil laugh when you lose! Great work. |
| Apr 19 17:12:00 | 10m 00s | Exhuman | Slick presentation and heaps of content given the time. Impressive work! I found it initially very hard to get into but it became more and more satisfying as I unlocked new content. A very solid game! |
| Apr 19 17:23:00 | 11m 00s | Stone sacrifice | Loved the way they sat patiently with their hats in their hands under the shadow - almost made me feel guilty! I thought this was beautifully presented with outstanding visuals. The gameplay itself could have used a little more conflict or variety to really keep me engaged. A very impressive and enjoyable effort nonetheless. |
| Apr 19 19:00:00 | 1h 37m | VHS WARS | Wow! Really good, solid fun. Perfectly balanced and genuinely addictive. Loved it. |
| Apr 19 19:16:00 | 16m 00s | Skywind Temple | Lovely! Hugely polished with beautiful, intuitive controls. I can't really fault this one! |
| Apr 19 19:25:00 | 9m 00s | The Door | A nice, playful little trip. Glad I took it! |
| Apr 19 19:56:00 | 31m 00s | Wood for the Trees | Fantastic mood and an intriguing story, beautifully told. I'm just frustrated that I couldn't complete it (I think) - I got stuck after I found the 'figure' (trying to give no spoilers here!) and couldn't work out how to proceed. <br/> <br/>Anyway, high marks all round. This is really good work. |
| Apr 20 18:39:00 | 22h 43m | Shape Shifters Inc | A pretty accurate portrait of my working life so far, only I've yet to earn a crab hat... <br/> <br/>Great sound effects and visuals. Awesome, goofy gameplay. A really funny and entertaining experience (together with an unexpected existentialist twist at the end!) - top marks from me. |
| Apr 20 18:45:00 | 6m 00s | BlowRider: Legends | Fun! I never did like gnomes anyway. :) <br/> <br/>Really clever mechanic, smooth controls and lots of polish for the time limit. Good work! |
| Apr 20 18:57:00 | 12m 00s | Potion Laboratory Expert | I won! Could have used a little more challenge but I enjoyed playing all the same. Gentle and entertaining. Also, I fulfilled a secret personal desire to be a beaver! |
| Apr 20 19:20:00 | 23m 00s | Brutally Shifty Dance Crew | Nice! I always like your stuff and this was no exception. Great aesthetic design and simple but enjoyable gameplay. I still got the moves. :) |
| Apr 21 07:11:00 | 11h 51m | Shadow of the Red Hand | Awesome game - the innovative visuals and mechanics work so well together and the music also helps to build the mood. Sometimes the jumping seemed a little unresponsive but that's the only (very small) quibble I have with this. Top marks from me! |
| Apr 21 08:17:00 | 1h 06m | windowframe | Very innovative mechanic and lovely mood. An impressive amount of content for the time limit. Great work! |
| Apr 21 08:40:00 | 23m 00s | Rude Bear Requiem | Great, now I have to get a priest in to exorcise my computer! Be aware that I will be sending you the bill... <br/> <br/>Aside from the inconvenience of having my hard drive possessed, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. Fantastic visuals, sound and atmosphere. Neat control scheme. Awesome twist. Hail! |
| Apr 21 08:57:00 | 17m 00s | ShapeShifters Escape | Very neat, especially for your first game! The puzzles were well thought out with a nice difficulty curve. Even one or two sound effects would have gone a long way but it was very enjoyable nonetheless. |
| Apr 21 09:10:00 | 13m 00s | Liborio the Shapemancer | Really enjoyed this. Nicely thought out puzzles with a neat mechanic. Beautiful visuals, music and mood too. I had a couple of problems with characters getting stuck against walls or in corners - I had to quit the first level at one point because I walked behind the girl as a cat and couldn't get out again - but nothing which really spoiled my enjoyment. <br/> <br/>Great work! |
| Apr 21 09:40:00 | 30m 00s | Barber Blues | If I'd known being a barber was this much fun, I'd have quit my job years ago! <br/> <br/>Can't really fault any aspect of this game. I had a blast and picked up some styling tips along the way. :) |
| Apr 21 09:48:00 | 8m 00s | ShapeOff | Great visuals, sound and general mood. An interesting mechanic too. I would have liked a much wider variety of clues (and more emphasis on using them to guess the right shape) but I really enjoyed playing. Thanks! |
| Apr 21 10:02:00 | 14m 00s | The Combinator | Man, I've always wanted to go back in time to screw around! Not only did this scratch that itch but it also had fun visuals and sound, a cool gameplay mechanic and an unexpectedly challenging difficulty level. Loved it! |
| Apr 21 10:08:00 | 6m 00s | Henkan Pachinko | Really enjoyable - great mood and a simple but sweet concept. The difficulty curve of the puzzles was pitched just right. You could make a nice full game from this basis. Good work! |
| Apr 21 10:14:00 | 6m 00s | Feather | Nice, atmospheric little tale. I'd love to see where you could take it given more time. |
| Apr 21 16:47:00 | 6h 33m | Ball Blitz | Fun! I spent way longer on this than I'd intended to. The only extra thing I would have liked is some little 'ghost' of my previous shot strength and angle to help guide me, a little like in Angry Birds. Great work, though! |
| Apr 21 18:37:00 | 1h 50m | Do Robots Dream About Yoga? | Dare accepted and promptly failed! This is one of those games, however, in which failure accounts for a lot of the fun. :) <br/> <br/>Great idea, charmingly executed. The choice of music was perfect. |
| Apr 21 18:51:00 | 14m 00s | Oops! My Dear is a Deer | Excellent concept - I really can't wait for the post-comp version as I think there is a huge amount of potential here! <br/> <br/>Sweet graphics, audio and controls. A really polished and fun entry! |
| Apr 21 18:56:00 | 5m 00s | Beach Bods | That's me ready for the summer! I had a lot of fun with this - it's a great concept with sharp execution. Graphics are nice and the audio is superb! <br/> <br/>Can I beat a score of 15? Well I got 9. So no. :) |
| Apr 25 15:19:00 | 92h 23m | Prince Charmless | My favourite game of this LD so far! Hugely polished and heaps of fun to play. The dual mechanics worked well and complemented each other nicely. The sound effects, art and music were spot on. The whole thing just felt right! :) <br/> <br/>I hope you continue to develop this - I can see it making a very successful mobile game. <br/> <br/>Only one tiny quibble - I hit the same bug as some of the other players and found the screen wouldn't scroll up when it was supposed to (I was using Firefox). |
| Apr 25 18:55:00 | 3h 36m | Potionshift | The shapeshifting mechanic isn't just bolted on but really does make for a neat twist which alters the gameplay. I played this for way longer than expected and really enjoyed it. Nice presentation too. Good work! |
| Apr 28 09:19:00 | 62h 24m | Space Pole And Monkey | Haha that was fun! Love the very serious expression my little Sun Wukong has throughout. :) <br/> <br/>The controls are really awkward but sometimes that's quite fun in itself, in an Octodaddy sort of way. <br/> <br/>Altogether a very entertaining entry. Needs a little polish but has lots of charm. |
| May 2 09:44:00 | 96h 25m | Amoebattles | Awesome game! One of the best entries I've played for sheer, addictive fun! My only suggestion would be to use a different colour for the enemies or bullets as it can get a bit confusing at higher levels because they look (to me at least) a little too similar. <br/> <br/>Otherwise, high marks all round - great visuals and audio, fantastic concept and polished gameplay. Good job! |
| May 2 10:34:00 | 50m 00s | Souleater | I enjoyed this a lot. The minimalist graphics and the gorgeous audio combined very nicely to build a distinctive mood. I would happily have played a much longer game in this style. <br/> <br/>The NPC comments were also handled well - sketching out an intriguing storyline in short, simple strokes, without interfering with the flow of the gameplay. <br/> <br/>The story itself seemed a little arbitrary, especially the abrupt ending, but I understand that a gamejam like this constrains what you can do in that regard. <br/> <br/>The actual shapeshifting was great - the flying squirrel power was very cool and enjoyable to use. Potential to build some great puzzles around abilities like this, especially if a few more forms were added. <br/> <br/>Altogether, a really accomplished entry with heaps of potential. I really hope you expand this into something fuller - I'd genuinely love to play it. |
| May 8 08:17:00 | 141h 43m | Doodle Book Survival | Great little game. Simple concept but heaps of fun to play (my top score was pushing 2500, by the way). The animations are especially nice - really distinctive and full of character. Good work! |
| May 9 17:27:00 | 33h 10m | Go Away, Zeus! | Zeus was such a kinky old goat, wasn't he? I love the premise of this game even though I wasn't very effective at keeping him out of my marital arrangements... I did figure it out eventually though. <br/> <br/>Art is functional (I'd be a hypocrite to criticise!) but with some very nice little touches. The sound effects were great! <br/> <br/>Overall, a very fun and entertaining little game with heaps of character and humour. Good work! |
