|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 28 19:12:00 | Humble Beginnings | Very cool! | |
| Aug 28 19:19:00 | 7m 00s | Gravity | Very cool concept and implementation! |
| Aug 28 19:23:00 | 4m 00s | Past Live | Super cool idea. |
| Aug 28 20:36:00 | 1h 13m | Tribal Termination | Nice. Reminds me of hunting in "Oregon Trail" combined with a rougelike! |
| Aug 28 20:37:00 | 1m 00s | Chariot Arena Battle | Someone come play with me! <br/> <br/>Awesome to have created an online multiplayer game over the weekend. |
| Aug 28 20:39:00 | 2m 00s | Pigeons In Battle | This looks beautiful, and I wish I could read Chinese characters! |
| Aug 28 20:40:00 | 1m 00s | Pyramid Raider | Fun. Very cool music. It's definitely the appropriate vibe. |
| Aug 28 20:45:00 | 5m 00s | The Human Drive For Innovation In The Realm Of Science | These graphics make me so happy. |
| Aug 28 20:49:00 | 4m 00s | Ancient SpaceTech™ Corporation® | Nice vibe. <br/> <br/>Way too hard for me though, but that's on me. |
| Aug 28 20:53:00 | 4m 00s | Dino Hipster Survival | Whoa. Super fun. Very visually appealing especially in merging the different art styles. |
| Aug 28 20:58:00 | 5m 00s | Revolution Wheel | Fun. A nice twist on the infinite runner. <br/> <br/>Those poor caveman. |
| Aug 28 21:00:00 | 2m 00s | Xolotl | Wow. Great. I'm always blown away by these things with simple mechanic and innovative problems. |
| Aug 28 21:13:00 | 13m 00s | Trickery of the Kings | Nice. Super smooth graphics and sound. <br/> <br/>Platformers stress me out, but the Super-Meat Boy style of instant respawn makes it a much better experience. |
| Aug 28 21:21:00 | 8m 00s | Pen and paper | I love this! <br/> <br/>Really refreshing look, and makes me think I should build my visual style from the ground up every time I start anew. <br/> <br/>I hadn't played the (analog version of this) game before, so it took me a few times to figure out what was going on. |
| Aug 28 21:43:00 | 22m 00s | THE BOX | Super slick looking graphics, and, I have to say, sliding puzzles are a secret pleasure of mine (something nostalgic about them). <br/> <br/>Perhaps a double meaning of "Ancient Technology!" |
| Aug 28 21:48:00 | 5m 00s | The Switch - Worker | Cool. I second the comment about this working well as a mobile game. <br/> <br/>It brings me back to the old days of patching synthesizers. <br/> <br/>That would be an awesome bonus stage! |
| Aug 28 21:49:00 | 1m 00s | WaveTrade | 404 for me too. |
| Aug 28 21:53:00 | 4m 00s | Ice, Fire, Сodfish and Sheeps | Nice survival game. <br/> <br/>I think I need some more instructions (on where to click, etc). |
| Aug 28 23:49:00 | 1h 56m | Nile Ale | Oh man. I love homebrew, Pico-8, and ancient Egypt, so this is a total perfect storm. <br/> <br/>I wish there were some hints about the ratios. It's a little daunting for me jumping right in. Any chance a "getting started" FAQ might be in the works? |
| Aug 29 00:03:00 | 14m 00s | RUNE | Cool! Beautiful Pico-8 visuals, especially the rune *smash* <br/> <br/>I'm not sure I get it--my score is going up as time goes on? |
| Aug 29 00:18:00 | 15m 00s | Stoneheart | Fantastic! <br/> <br/>Once again my Pico-8 tile-making skills have been put to shame. <br/> <br/>I also really like how it's one continuous level, rather than loading for each individual puzzle. It really gives this the old-school-graphics-with-new-school-feel combination. |
| Aug 29 00:28:00 | 10m 00s | Call of the Ancients | Ok, that's an awesome idea. <br/> <br/>Later on, I'd love to hear/read about your thoughts and process in putting this together. <br/> <br/>You should check out an audio piece by Mark Wingate called "Welcome to Medicare!" <br/> <br/>You can listen here: http://www.cs.lewisu.edu/artofmemory/data/spring2010Pages/s2010_13.php |
| Aug 29 00:36:00 | 8m 00s | Happy Hunting Ground | I love this art style, but I can't hit anything for the life of me! <br/> <br/>...Oh! I got one. <br/> <br/>I'd love to play an Okami-style game with this art style-- less shooting, more just riding with the buffalo. |
| Aug 29 00:50:00 | 14m 00s | A little tower. | I really like this game! Tower defense plus hand of god. <br/> <br/>I can only play on web-player, though, so I wish those little guys were a bit bigger. |
| Aug 29 00:55:00 | 5m 00s | Clockwork man | Very cool, if a little disturbing. <br/> <br/>I didn't figure out I could shoot the little rings until I had gone through once. Perhaps a little note about that would help. <br/> <br/>Keep up the good work! |
| Aug 29 00:58:00 | 3m 00s | Egypt Saves The World | Cool idea! <br/> <br/>I wish this had been what the movie "Stargate" was about... |
| Aug 29 02:05:00 | 1h 07m | The Language of the Gods | Super cool art style and music. <br/> <br/>I think this might certainly be worth pursuing after the jam to see where it might go. <br/> <br/>I definitely got one of the patterns wrong and was still able to progress, though. |
| Aug 29 12:21:00 | 10h 16m | No Man Has Gone Before | Very nice overall aesthetic. Maybe a simple little computer terminal hum is all the game needs for audio. <br/> <br/>I really dig the sort of CRT retro-future design. This reminds me of Ridley Scott's Alien. |
| Aug 29 12:27:00 | 6m 00s | CANOE & SPEAR | Oh man, I like this. It took me a second to remember how to paddle a canoe. That's a really fun control mechanic. <br/> <br/>Of course nice, bright, energetic overall look too. |
| Aug 29 13:27:00 | 1h 00m | Pyramid Dissemble | This is a lot of fun (but makes me a little dizzy, as I just circled the pyramid). <br/> <br/>I really like all the original 3d art. |
| Aug 29 13:31:00 | 4m 00s | Tomb Robbers | Hahahaha. This makes me super-happy. <br/> <br/>I love the idea of turning the whole Tomb-Raiding thing on its head and playing as the one being raided. <br/> <br/>One of the robbers should have a whip and an Indiana Jones hat! |
| Aug 29 13:35:00 | 4m 00s | aRCANE | I love the lilting aesthetic of the combined music, graphics, and gameplay. <br/> <br/>I only had a few minutes to sit down and play, so I wasn't able to get enough materials to do anything, but I could see myself zoning out to this as a little escapist casual game. |
| Aug 29 21:17:00 | 7h 42m | CAVEMAN | Cool. I love this 2D/3D hybrid (like Proteus except third person). <br/> <br/>That said, I'm really terrible at getting the rabbits... despite the fact that my caveman has a mean pitching arm. |
| Aug 29 21:26:00 | 9m 00s | S**ON | I win! The king lives! <br/> <br/>Great music and original graphics. |
| Aug 29 21:27:00 | 1m 00s | Shi | Cool! The lighting is really nice. I'm completely sure what I'm doing though. What are your controls? I got direction arrows, mouse, and space for jump, but is there an interact? |
| Aug 29 21:30:00 | 3m 00s | Cooking Caveman | Awesome! Great graphics (and the monochrome was an excellent touch) with the cheesy 1960s background music (because, hey, it's ancient. <br/> <br/>Smooth controls too. |
| Aug 29 21:34:00 | 4m 00s | Double puzzle dungeon | Cool graphics and controls (I love the old keyboard navigation over the newfangled mouse+wasd). <br/> <br/>If I found the cat, did I win? |
| Aug 29 21:44:00 | 10m 00s | Nothing is Silent | Super cool! This is like Swords and Sworcery meets Electroplanton. <br/> <br/>Nice work on aesthetically unified, meditative experience (something not easy to accomplish in the rush to complete something in 48 hours...) |
| Aug 29 21:54:00 | 10m 00s | Isaac's Descent | Cool! Yeah, nice game mechanic and implementation of the Pico-8's limited interface options (i.e. arrows and two buttons). <br/> <br/>The puzzle-platforming got a bit tough for me, but I'm a chump at this stuff anyway. |
| Aug 30 00:47:00 | 2h 53m | Caveman Noir | Ha! Very cool. Now I feel like all of those hours I spent playing LA Noire weren't wasted. <br/> <br/>Nice writing and concept in line with the theme. |
| Aug 30 02:01:00 | 1h 14m | Restonerant | Cute game! Too hard for me, but I got a few of those recipes out in time. <br/> <br/>Really nice sound, graphics, and overall aesthetic. |
| Aug 30 13:56:00 | 11h 55m | Hieroglyph | Cool! This is pretty fun, and I love the way the game teaches you how to play as it goes. <br/> <br/>Perhaps a countdown timer to increase the tension a little bit? |
| Aug 31 00:40:00 | 10h 44m | Aqueduct Architect | Neat! I don't have a mousewheel, just my Mac touchpad gestures, so the sensitivity on rotating stuff was a bit manic (again, a nice clicking scrollwheel would be different). Of course I read later that you can also use Z and C.... |
| Aug 31 00:51:00 | 11m 00s | No Mario's Sky | Aweome idea. Running on OSX I seemed to have some bugginess, especially when flying the spaceship, but a little post-LD clean up and this can be an amazing experience. <br/> <br/>Quadrillions of worlds to discover.... |
| Aug 31 21:20:00 | 20h 29m | Sassy Salesman Simulator | Cute and funny. I really like the graphics, music, and the writing. Pretty much the whole package. <br/> <br/>It kind of feels like a bit of a crapshoot which option I should select at any time. Perhaps I just haven't figured out the hints yet. <br/> <br/>By the way, the web player version took a looooooong time to load. I'm not sure if that's anything you can fix though. |
| Sep 1 01:20:00 | 4h 00m | Plague Doctor | I win. Hooray! <br/> <br/>Very fun. Great feel and graphics. Also great engagement with the theme. <br/> <br/>I'd love to see this expanded somehow. Everyone loves upgrades! |
| Sep 2 00:08:00 | 22h 48m | Pottery Match | Oh man, this is a cool idea, but SUPER hard. I wonder if there's a way to simplify a bit. Perhaps the time limit is a bit much <br/> <br/>That said, I did get 90% with an attempt that I don't think was very successful, so at least your grading is fairly generous. |
| Sep 2 00:18:00 | 10m 00s | A Funeral with no Departed and Attendee | Cool. I had fun cleaning and packing the objects. (Should I say that you put the "fun" in "funeral?"). <br/> <br/>For the time limit, there's a lot of reading. I have to admit I just skipped it... |
| Sep 2 00:39:00 | 21m 00s | Ancient Contact | Whoa. Very nice work. The controls feel great, and it's just a lot of fun. Really satisfying. <br/> <br/>Great job. |
| Sep 2 00:46:00 | 7m 00s | History Through Battles | Fun game, neat controls! <br/> <br/>It's pretty hard off the bat! I'm more a casual gamer, admittedly, but my preference would be to have a level or two to help me get used to things before ramping up. |
| Sep 2 00:58:00 | 12m 00s | Bullet Reality | Cool! Very cool and cute art, and I love shooting stars any chance I can get. |
| Sep 3 21:35:00 | 44h 37m | Ancient Treasures | Cool! Awesome that you were able to put this together over a weekend. Nice graphics and level design. <br/> <br/>The sword swing feels a little sluggish in comparison with the super-reactive jump. I wonder if there's a way to balance out that feel a little bit as you move forward with revisions. |
