Dec 13 12:16:00 1 biT Strike I feel you definitely captured the feel that I assume you were going for, nicely done
Dec 13 12:20:00 4m 00s Smallest Dungeon Very nicely done, I really like the feel, the graphics, and of course the music is brilliant.
Dec 13 12:26:00 6m 00s Three Minutes to Midnight Looking past the grammatical errors, I think this game has a very nice ambiance about it. The sound is nice, and it gives a nice illusion of choice. Good work :)
Dec 13 12:31:00 5m 00s Bruce, the escaping ant I have good things and bad things to say about this one. We'll start with the bad. <br/>The controls are dreadful, the lack of air control makes it more annoying to try try to jump onto things than not. Other than that the controls are okay, but jumping definitely needs to be different. <br/> <br/>Onto the good things. <br/>The graphics are okay, I feel like if you had a little more time you would have made something quite pleasing to look at. <br/>The music is alright, and a hell of a lot better than anything I could do. <br/>Overall, I feel like you either ran out of time with this one or you're early along your journey. Either way, definitely not the worst entry :)
Dec 13 12:37:00 6m 00s Loop of Eternity Amazing job, I have lots to say. <br/>Most importantly, I really appreciate you kept it simple. You had a main, small mechanic and milked it for all it was worth. That's one thing I wish most indies would stick to, as keeping these games simple really allow room for polish and graphics, and you nailed that. <br/>The feel was nice, the controls are responsive. The ships' designs are very nice and I genuinely enjoyed playing. Although I don't feel the shooting sounds really fit the style, I certainly wasn't bothered by them and the music was fantastic. It's hard to believe this was made in 2 days, great job :)
Dec 13 12:43:00 6m 00s The Fishing Cabin This one's quite nice, or at least it has potential. <br/>I get the feeling you just ran out of time with this one. <br/>The art style is nice, the music relaxing. <br/>That being said, I don't feel like I could spend more than a few minutes on this one, simply due to lack of progression, or points, or anything really. Unless I'm just missing out on the controls of the game, I feel like there should be more there. If I am just missing some obvious controls, then that's an area you need to work on. Overall, nice game I suppose. If it were a more fleshed out game I'd definitely enjoy its meditative atmosphere.
Dec 13 12:50:00 7m 00s Pixelander I really do like this one. I like that you picked a mechanic and made 15 levels from it. The graphics aren't bad, the controls are perfectly explained and easy to get a grip on. I like that there are multiple ways to beat a level and that there are no game breaking glitches (that I found ;)) Good job :D
Dec 13 13:03:00 13m 00s Brian This one's okay, it's unique, I can give you that. Overall it was nice, I stayed for the whole thing and enjoyed the story. As for fun, there really wasn't much to do and the investment was kind of low. I still would rate this higher than some other entries, but I feel it definitely needs more work.
Dec 13 13:14:00 11m 00s Perfidious Albion It's pretty nice overall. There's a nice balance of "Oh, quick, time to think!" and "Alright, time to calm down and read a letter". The graphics, although not amazing, all fit together and that's pretty important. This was a nice game that fit the theme nicely, good work :)
Dec 13 13:21:00 7m 00s Open-Plan Office Distractions It seems nice, the graphics are cool and going into it I thought it was something I'd get hooked on. However, I have some complaints. <br/>My largest of which is the fact that you either can't interact with anything, or you haven't said how to clearly. This is a huge problem as it causes a lot of frustration and confusion. <br/>Secondly, throwing a wall of text at the player before anything else could very easily cause them to close the game first thing. You should probably tease, or promise some fun or something first. <br/>Also, the text about their new project goes by far too quickly to read, which leads to being behind and not knowing what's going on.
Dec 13 13:38:00 17m 00s RooM It's very Binding of Isaac. It's nice, but it's super short. It definitely could use work, and the audio is pretty bad :/ Other than that, good job
Dec 13 13:40:00 2m 00s Stick Figure Animator [NOT A GAME] Wow, really cool. Confusing, but I suppose that's unavoidable with this. Nicely done :D
Dec 13 13:46:00 6m 00s Defeat the Kraken It doesn't give off a unified feel, and it feels a bit messy. It doesn't say "one room" to me in any way, and it's pretty unbalanced. If it were to be fleshed out more, i feel like it could be quite fun. I've always been a fan of boss fights :)
Dec 13 13:52:00 6m 00s atomic-swerve Interesting, and I like the music. There isn't much more to say about it, unfortunately.
Dec 13 14:03:00 11m 00s Domain Wow really nice. It's truly fun to play, and I was kind of sad when I ran out of levels. It's different, and it's great fun. The controls are easily understandable, and this game reminded me of several from childhood. I recommend making a part 2, and spending a month or so on it! :D <br/>The single complaint I have is that you get thrown a wall of text before any gameplay. Of course since it's not a wall of complex controls, it's much less painful. Still something to consider. Great entry :D
Dec 13 14:45:00 42m 00s Watchers Even though simplistic, the graphics are pretty interesting. The gameplay is pretty mice, and the controls simple. Good job
Dec 13 15:03:00 18m 00s The legend of the cheese It's alright, an attempt at something that could be fun. I like platformers like this, but it's just kind of overwhelming. The graphics could definitely use some love.
Dec 13 15:11:00 8m 00s Room Escape It feels nice, and fits the theme very well. The puzzles were well thought out and it's a nice game :) Great job
Dec 13 20:09:00 4h 58m The Exterminators Part II A bit too short, and there seemed to be no challenge. Other than that, this one's an eye catcher for me, I feel it has potential.
Dec 13 20:15:00 6m 00s Doom Tomb of the True Room Pretty nice, it plays well and looks good. Nice work :)
Dec 14 10:27:00 14h 12m The Tortile Chamber Good job, the puzzles were nice and the game was pretty trippy xD
Dec 14 10:38:00 11m 00s Room Kingdom Overall it was good, it was somewhat confusing and I still don't really understand it. The graphics were alright, the sound pretty good. Nice entry
Dec 14 10:41:00 3m 00s Father Hustler and his holy room This game is terribly confusing. First thing's first, you throw the player a wall of controls to memorize. Never a good idea. Secondly, I'm not sure what was even going on and it's so confusing xD Maybe if it were more well-taught, it could be a good entry :)
Dec 14 11:01:00 20m 00s Essay Writer 5000 Great entry xD It's a bit too long, but for the amount I played it I really enjoyed it. It's funny, clever, and just a good game. The graphics could use work but I can look past that ;)
Dec 14 11:11:00 10m 00s A bank is a dangerous place Almost 4 stars in every category. nicely done. I genuinely enjoyed this one, you managed to make it so that you feel pressure but you still are engaged with it and don't feel like you're being drowned. The voice acting was pretty good, the graphics are pretty nice. Fun gameplay, a nice simple, short game. Good work :)
Dec 14 11:34:00 23m 00s Can into space Nice entry :) The graphics feel great, the gameplay is nice. It's a bit confusing at first but with a game like this I guess I can't complain too much about that. A tutorial level would've been nice though
Dec 14 11:46:00 12m 00s A new beginning I'm not a fan of this one :/ The controls feel so spazzy, I feel like I'm walking on ice, and it's just so hard to get into. Also the goal isn't clear at all and the sound was deathly :( sorry, but this could definitely be much better.
Dec 14 11:50:00 4m 00s One Game Pretty nice :) It's fun to choose and see how it tailors the store. Nicely done!
Dec 14 11:53:00 3m 00s The Pit It's pretty neat, the controls are a bit hard to get behind, but it's not a huge problem. The game's responsive and simple fun. Good entry :)
Dec 14 12:09:00 16m 00s Saving Christmas It's alright, it's a nice concept at least. However, the "new ball" spawning is very much luck-based, as it can spawn in ways so that it's impossible to dodge it in time. Also it's very much all the same, no progression or anything :/ Overall, nice entry and I think with a little more love it could be much better.
Dec 14 12:35:00 26m 00s The Bloodbath It's nice! It's pretty "same-y", but for what it is, it felt nice to play and it's classic fun. Good job with this!
Dec 14 12:39:00 4m 00s Notepad Hero Nicely done! The graphics are great, the music is nice, and the gameplay feels smooth and responsive. I like this one :)
Dec 14 12:52:00 13m 00s Try, Get fried, Repeat A nice entry :D It's fun to try to find new ways about the room. The controls may be a bit weird but it's no bit problem. It's a fun little game, good job!
Dec 14 12:57:00 5m 00s Kitchen Wizard Pinball Another great entry, quill :D I love pinball, and this one's a nice take. the controls are nice and responsive, the game is simple and straightforward. Good job!
Dec 15 11:43:00 22h 46m Defend the Nukes! Nice entry! It's fun, and there's depth in that there are multiple ways to do things. I like this one :D
Dec 15 11:52:00 9m 00s Scarehouse The game's pretty good. The sound is satisfying and feels nice to kill something. However, 100 health is far too much in this game considering a hit only takes 1 off. It makes the game more boring than exciting. In terms of looks, it doesn't look half bad. Good entry :)
Dec 15 12:19:00 27m 00s VaporArenaWave クール Really nice entry, this one... <br/>First off, as for gameplay, I enjoyed it. Not much more to say about that. Secondly, graphics &lt;3_&lt;3 <br/>I realllly love what you were going for with this one. It really sets a mood I'm a huge fan of. The big mountain with the face, the totems, the skybox -- everything. Nice, nice entry.
Dec 15 12:35:00 16m 00s Brookzerker Not a bad entry. I'd assume, since this is a remake, that you're early on your game dev journey. If so, good job! The paddle was a bit too slow to catch things AND hit the ball, but other than that this one was pretty fun, and not frustrating xD Good entry!
Dec 15 12:40:00 5m 00s Survive LDJam 37 A nice entry in theory, but there are a few problems. <br/>I couldn't get hunger to go down. I ate the entire fridge yet my hunger continued at a slow climb. I couldn't work on the game, either. If these things weren't game-breaking, I think I'd have serious fun with this one, I really like the idea of it. Great entry ;)
Dec 15 17:39:00 4h 59m Tiny Escape This isn't a bad thought, but it wasn't very well executed :/ <br/>A few tips about things that caused me a lot of frustration while playing: <br/>Textures. In a game where you have to walk long distances, a texture can really help you feel like you're going somewhere. If all you can see is the same 100% smooth floor underneath you, it feels like you're standing still. <br/>Another thing: The controls were terribly slippy. In a platformer, nice controls are key. If your controls are bad in a game like this, people will give up instantly. <br/>Lastly, a shadow. You added a shadow to the player, but have one directly under you, even though less realistic, can really feel nice and helps the player do what they wanna do. Nice concept, but you may need some more practice ;)
Dec 15 17:51:00 12m 00s one room arena The graphics were okay, the huge arrow icon behind people was a bit distracting. The controls weren't great, the bouncing was kinda painful. If the controls were better, this would be a fun entry ;)
Dec 15 18:00:00 9m 00s Sides Adventures Nice entry. The controls were okay, the graphics were nice, I'd like a tutorial or something, but it's not too hard to get the hang of it after a few tries. Pretty fun little game :D
Dec 15 18:14:00 14m 00s Claustrophobia This is a good entry :) <br/>The controls were nice and simple, the graphics were nice and it was genuine fun to play. The scoring's a bit harsh, though xD
Dec 15 18:18:00 4m 00s Rworld The controls are really hard to get a grip on :/ <br/>Sound would be nice. You can glitch through walls. Other than that, it's a nice entry
Dec 15 18:40:00 22m 00s Room at Night This is a good game, I played it all the way through which is more than I can say for some other entries ;) <br/>The mood was nice, the graphics were great and it was a very polished game :D Good job!
Dec 15 19:01:00 21m 00s Kitchen Defender Ants Attack! This is pretty good entry xD <br/>The controls were nice, the game was fairly polished. The sound wasn't great. The gameplay was straightforward. Overall nice entry
Dec 15 19:12:00 11m 00s Little Knights The concept is nice, but the game really lacks polish. You can walk behind things that should be in the background, the footstep sound continues to play when you go into a new room, among other things. I feel more time should have been spent fixing bugs than making content, but if it were more polished this would be a much better game :) Nonetheless, good entry
Dec 15 19:15:00 3m 00s Horde Room It's a nice entry :D <br/>It's fun to play, the graphics are nice. The main thing I don't like is that when you open the shop the zombies keep coming after you, which makes it a little difficult. Other than that, the controls were responsive and it was a pretty polished game. Nice!
Dec 15 19:27:00 12m 00s One Room Puzzle Nice game. I like that you can plan your moves, and there are no ways to get trapped (at least not that I ran into). Good game :D
Dec 15 19:34:00 7m 00s Escape The Room Too bad it's unfinished. The music was really nice, shame you didn't allow for audio voting.
Dec 15 19:46:00 12m 00s The Leaky Ceiling It was really slow to start out, and unclear what you were supposed to do. I couldn't catch the water drop.
Dec 15 19:56:00 10m 00s Withstand I like how the controls are responsive. The gravity thing is a neat mechanic. It'd be nice if there was an ammo counter, but other than that I can't say many bad things about this one :)
