| Aug 29 16:05:00 | No Pyramid's Sky | Great atmosphere with the music, and fading into the menus. I lost instantly a few times not realizing I was supposed to use the spacebar to move up at first, but it made me laugh that it was asking if I wanted to play again before I even did anything. I'm pretty horrible at this kind of game though, so I didn't make it very far. | |
| Aug 29 16:19:00 | 14m 00s | Random Access Aliens | It's tough to tell what's going on in a game when you have to look at a legend to tell what anything is. I don't know how anyone does it with more complex games like rogue. I was confused by the grenade at first, because the game let me aim with the grenade even though I didn't have enough AP to throw one. I managed to kill a few aliens though. Can the ! spawning places be destroyed? I was trying to blow one up, but nothing seemed to happen to it. I guess if it was possible to damage it, it would change to a damaged icon like the aliens do? |
| Aug 29 16:29:00 | 10m 00s | Egyptian Dare | Really clever idea changing the rules as you go. I wondered how someone might use the theme of ancient technology to really guide the gameplay, and you did it well by having someone attempting to interpret the rules of some bizarre ancient game. |
| Aug 29 17:08:00 | 39m 00s | Escape The Pyramid ! | Good atmosphere to the game with the music and dim lighting. I wish the check points were more frequent or something, cause I die a lot and feel like I have to redo too much of the level. A lot of these deaths are based on things I couldn't have known beforehand, like having to use the correct Red statue, but not knowing what path i'm closing off by using it, or which door will be unlocked or whatever. It's fun learning from the mistake so I can get it right next time, but it can take a while to get back to where I was. |
| Aug 29 17:17:00 | 9m 00s | (Not) Greedy Cup | Clever coming up with a game mechanic based on ancient technology, instead of just using the theme in the art. |
| Aug 29 21:08:00 | 3h 51m | Clockwork man | Feels like modern art. I wonder what it means. Just moving to the right, like all the other clockwork men. |
| Aug 29 21:16:00 | 8m 00s | Super Egyptian UFO Cat Pyramid Overlord 2000 BC | I like how this hits the ancient technology theme in multiple ways, including ancient 80's games on CRT screens. It's tough to avoid those spears! |
| Aug 30 15:08:00 | 17h 52m | Knocker-Upper | I love how the theme and visuals fit with the music, and the symbols for sound effects. |
| Aug 30 15:34:00 | 26m 00s | The forgotten day | Wow, this game is really impressive. I love the music (which makes me think of metroid). I was a bit confused at first, until I read on this page that I had to go back to the base to upgrade stuff. Then when I saw the red guys, I didn't think my green beam did anything because the enemies don't react to the attack at all until they blow up. But I got the hang of it, got some big tough robots, and played for about 18 minutes. Great jam game! |
| Aug 30 16:34:00 | 1h 00m | farm defence | It felt pretty cool when I had a bunch of farms and crossbows up and running. I didn't notice any bugs, but would have liked something to make it clearer where I can place items. Like making the farm turn red if it was too far away from me or colliding with another farm, so it would be really clear that I couldn't put it there. Also, your "How to play" comments is more of a strategy guide, rather than letting us know what farms do, or what we're supposed to be trying to do. |
| Aug 30 16:36:00 | 2m 00s | The Secret of Tikal | Great character art! A fun start for multiplayer, which I can imagine getting better with a variety of obstacles and levels. |
| Aug 30 16:50:00 | 14m 00s | Tower of Egypt | Good job putting in all the details that often go missing in game jams, like a full background and good sound. I wasn't completely clear on the rules, though. To build a pyramid, I'm supposed to murder the slave drivers? It didn't really seem possible to finish a section without killing them because they kill the slaves and then stand in the way of the stone. But then I'd lose health for some reason, maybe because I killed too many slave drivers but this was unclear to me. |
| Aug 30 18:03:00 | 1h 13m | Supercontinent Ltd | Wow, the art, sound, and atmosphere in this game are impressive. The gameplay is very unique and challenging. Maybe a bit too challenging, as I thought about giving up a few times, but I did manage to beat it! |
| Aug 30 18:21:00 | 18m 00s | No Mario's Sky | Wow, impressive variety of worlds for a game jam! I wish the moving and jumping felt a bit better. It's surprisingly difficult to land on an enemy at first, and it's odd how Mario seems to lose momentum when he lands. Maybe the circular worlds caused some complications with that though? I have no idea how you managed to make all of that. |
| Aug 30 22:19:00 | 3h 58m | Lazer Patriarch | Really cool lighting effects, and a very ambitious game. It's a really good start, but I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do. You didn't list the controls in the game or in the comments, so I jammed buttons on my keyboard till my character moved and shot lazers. I read your comments about unlocking doors, but took multiple deaths before I ever figured out what a block was, and had to read the ini file to figure out how to move it. Still never managed to find a block and a switch in the same game soon enough to move a block onto one. |
| Aug 30 22:30:00 | 11m 00s | Lost Kas | I love the environment, with the Zelda style rooms. The combat is very unique, but it was really hard to kill stuff. I didn't make it very far. I stared at the flashing death screen for far too long before remembering that you mentioned a restart button in the description. |
| Aug 30 23:00:00 | 30m 00s | Obsolete | Fun game with a good message! Great art, and cutscenes! I was surprised by the ending cutscene though, because I only had one accessory. Were there other enemies for me to fight that I never saw? The only "ability" i got to use was the receiver, and I didn't notice any effect. |
| Aug 31 15:13:00 | 16h 13m | 105.2fm | I like the art and sound design! I wasn't clear on what the bird wanted me to do. I guess the gun was the present he gave me, but I didn't make the connection because why would a gun help me with my radio? Then when I used the gun the bird asked what I was doing and that I should be using the gift he gave me. |
| Sep 1 16:08:00 | 24h 55m | pipe | Really fun controls! I love the music and graphics. It seems weird that you can beat the game without even seeing most of the game's challenges, just by finding the exit once you have the key. I played again to get the hearts, seeing obstacle types that I completely missed the first time. |
| Sep 1 16:33:00 | 25m 00s | Invent the Wheel | This was really fun! Perfect fit for the theme! It seemed to work well making holes inside my wheels, which let me get the record on tracks 2 and 3. |
| Sep 2 16:56:00 | 24h 23m | The Puzzling Pyramid | Good puzzle game. It would help a ton if the puzzle gave some kind of information to show me what's right or wrong. It could be as simple as making tiles that are in conflict flash red when I click the button. With this, there would still be plenty of puzzling over how to fix that tile conflict without making another conflict, just less searching for which tiny piece I got wrong. |
