| Dec 18 11:38:00 | clapclap | Your game relies on autoplay behavior, so at first i was left wondering "where's the music?" and had to go to "about:config" just to play the game. But the music and concept were interesting, nevertheless. <br/> <br/>(it's a pity there's no real penalty for constant clapping during performance, like throwing out of a concert or something) <br/> <br/>// caryoscelus | |
| Dec 18 11:40:00 | 2m 00s | Trapped | Nice text adventure. Good use of theme too. <br/> <br/>I especially liked that "that doesn't make any sense.. wait, what?" moment. |
| Dec 19 15:36:00 | 27h 56m | The Elevator | First of all, a few words on jam entry: ren'py is cross-platform so you shouldn't write as if it's just for windows. Next, indirect links are pretty annoying. <br/> <br/>Now for the games itself: congrats on finishing your first jam! Can't say the story is very exciting, but at least there's some choice mechanics and different endings.. Good use of sounds, but the music got pretty annoying by the middle of the week. <br/> <br/>Finally, the art has artifacts around character borders - i suspect you're doing something wrong such as drawing on one layer with a solid background and manually cleaning it up later. You should just use at least one separate layer for character with no background. <br/> <br/>But above all that, i would prefer more original work to a polished one. <br/> <br/>P.S. Don't take my critique too close to heart - i write it in hope that it can help you do better next time. |
| Dec 19 21:21:00 | 5h 45m | Nightowl | Woah, was surprised to see it's from you - some radical change of style! <br/> <br/>Great take on theme. <br/> <br/>I'm not sure whether it was intentional or due to implementation complexity, but lack of PC speaking creates some nice alienation effect (and helps to identify with PC cause there's not much forced onto player). So yeah, great entry. <br/> <br/>Btw, got a ren'py error when trying to chose "lee didn't invite you, nai". |
| Dec 22 16:44:00 | 67h 23m | Sitting here, thinking. The VN! | Well, as far as LD goes, this is pretty original, i think. |
| Dec 22 17:20:00 | 36m 00s | The Room | Can you upload on some sane server which doesn't ask for flash when it's not required (well, twine doesn't use flash as far as i know)? |
| Dec 22 17:51:00 | 31m 00s | Reunion | Really enjoyed this. <br/> <br/>// caryoscelus |
| Dec 28 14:11:00 | 140h 20m | One Room (Forever) | Another game that relies on autoplay for sound, meh. <br/> <br/>But other than that it's pretty nice, though i got out before even realizing what's going on and had to replay to see other more gameplay. |
| Jan 1 18:05:00 | 99h 54m | Crawling Crowd | Can hardly play because some aliens are displayed as black boxes, but atmosphere is pretty nice. |
