| Aug 30 11:49:00 | Forty Two | Nice work :) Impressive to get so many puzzles with so many mechanics done in such a short time. <br/> <br/>The only things I would add are perhaps a little bit more narrative fluff to better tie it to the theme (though to be honest I can take of leave that :P) and maybe some hints as to what each of the tiles do (maybe even just by giving each puzzle a title that is a hint in itself?) <br/> <br/>Anyway great job :) | |
| Aug 30 11:55:00 | 6m 00s | Allo? | Nice! Lovely and simple, very clear what's going on, and has a nice difficulty curve. Lovely sound effects too :) <br/> <br/>I can already imagine ways you could take this further (wires you can't cross, special colored wires that can only go in certain holes, etc..) but it's already a nice complete experience. Great job. |
| Aug 30 12:01:00 | 6m 00s | The Unreal Odyssey | Aha what a cool idea! It works really well. I managed to get back to my island using only the stars :) <br/> <br/>I really like this. I guess the only thing that could be improved is as pressxtoskip said, maybe up the draw distance a bit so that rocks and things don't pop up right in front of you. Or maybe use some fog or something to hide it :) <br/> <br/>Also once you've worked out where you are it's basicallly just a case of heading in a straight line, so maybe some random events like a storm or something that spin you around/move you a bit, and mean you have to reorient yourself. |
| Aug 30 12:19:00 | 18m 00s | Obsolescence | Poor little guy :-( <br/> <br/>The art is lovely and the music particularly is great, gives the game a nice melancholy atmosphere. I have to say I got a bit stuck once I'd found the chisel and become round, not really sure where to go next. But I might come back and have another go when I have some more time :) |
| Aug 30 12:33:00 | 14m 00s | Get Armoured | Well done on your first jam. Simple, and a complete game. Can't really ask for much else. Hope you take part in more in the future. |
| Aug 30 12:40:00 | 7m 00s | Knocker-Upper | Haha great original idea. I love the theme and the art style. <br/> <br/>As others have said it can get a bit repetitive so maybe some variation as to what's in the windows. Also you should maybe get punished a bit for spamming your shooter, either by losing points for hitting the wrong thing, or maybe by having a limited supply of ammo. |
| Aug 30 13:40:00 | 1h 00m | The Switch - Worker | Nice idea and good use of the theme :) Everything works nicely and it make a complete game so overall not much to complain about. Difficulty could ramp up a bit quicker maybe but that's just my personal preference. |
| Aug 31 09:02:00 | 19h 22m | Rat-tato Power | Simple concept, executed very well. The artwork is lovely :) |
| Aug 31 10:44:00 | 1h 42m | Telegrapher | Great stuff. The theme is great and you've nailed the atmosphere. The controls are tight, and you have a really nice difficulty curve. Not much I can fault about this! <br/>.-/.-../.--.! |
| Aug 31 10:54:00 | 10m 00s | Train your Turtle | Lovely concept :) It's a really original idea. Like you say I think it probably needs some more explicit tutorials near the beginning, maybe the first level walks you through step by step how do program your first command to make the turtle walk forward. Something like "Press 1 and see what happens" and if the turtle walks forward pop something up saying "Give a treat now!" <br/> <br/>But I love it and you got an impressive amount done in the time limit. <br/> <br/>Plus I love turtles so this was always going to be a winner for me :P |
| Aug 31 11:26:00 | 32m 00s | Earthling Exhibits | Nice idea! I love the humor :) <br/> <br/>The gameplay seems a bit random and there doesn't seem to be any room for strategy. Maybe if you knew the percentage change of each action working, that would help. Maybe also more ways to affect how much income you generate or visitors you attract, such as being able to sell of artifacts you don't want, or changing the layout of the museum. <br/> <br/>As an initial idea it's great though :) |
| Aug 31 11:35:00 | 9m 00s | Sorter of Antiques | Nice idea :) What you have here works really well. <br/> <br/>As others have said it is short but it's complete and it's easy to see how you can add more in the future. <br/> <br/>I think randomizing the order of the list, the items in in it and maybe even their properties will help with replay-ability as you won't be able to memorize where things are/ <br/> <br/>Also I think maybe having a time limit might help add to the challenge but then again it was quite nice being able to do it at a relaxing pace and bring able to read and enjoy all the items. |
