| Dec 31 16:38:00 | Rummet | Nice! The physics here are very fun, if a bit silly, but you can't beat tossing around a giant bookcase. Seems like a very solid escape the room type game. I have to admit I didn't have the patience to solve the puzzles in the big room, but watching the video seems like you came up with some clever stuff. | |
| Dec 31 16:47:00 | 9m 00s | Begging and Gambling | An ambitious game for sure - but a bit frustrating to actually make any progress. I would have expanded on the "begging" minigame, since that seems to be the meat of the gameplay, but the time limit is too short. A solid effort, but doesn't seem very connected to the theme either. |
| Dec 31 17:01:00 | 14m 00s | Creative Space | Cool concept and solid execution, but definitely feels like it needs a bit more excitement because, while realistic in some ways, it does get repetitive. |
| Dec 31 17:12:00 | 11m 00s | hoplitelite | Very cool, I've played Hoplite and I think you've translated the mechanics pretty well here. Of course some power ups or different abilities would spice things up, but for 48 hours this is very solid. Nice retro sound effects too! |
| Dec 31 17:20:00 | 8m 00s | Little Room of Horrors | Cool concept, but definitely some room for improvement. It would be nice to be able to control the direction of your attack, it's a bit counter-intuitive to need to run into enemies to attack them. "Feeding" the room is an interesting mechanic, but seems like it requires a lot of resources to make any difference. |
| Dec 31 17:29:00 | 9m 00s | BattleTub | Awesome! Very fun to blow the crap out of those smug rubber duckies. Using the shots to boost your speed is a cool idea, but hard to see where you're going when aiming backwards. Maybe some specific time goals for each level would create a bigger challenge, rather than just going for your personal best. Nice work! |
| Dec 31 17:48:00 | 19m 00s | Hero Wardrober | I like this idea a lot, but the pace is way too fast without enough info to understand what to do to actually keep these cute wood people alive. Nice graphics! |
| Dec 31 18:11:00 | 23m 00s | Lock and reload | Awesome visual style plus the great audio makes for a really nice mood here. Seems like a very solid puzzle game but I have to admit I didn't get very far. Still, I'm impressed! |
| Dec 31 18:16:00 | 5m 00s | The Set Of All Self-Containing Sets | Ok I feel like there's something cool going on here - the box you carry is also the room you are in or something like that right? But the controls and slippery movement make this close to unplayable, sorry to say. |
| Dec 31 18:23:00 | 7m 00s | FairyTrail | Very cool, nice take on the Tron light-bike style game! Art assets all look very polished and professional. Fun to play even against the AI. Nice work! |
| Dec 31 18:29:00 | 6m 00s | Little Black Spider | Cute game, nice visual style. Feel like the basic idea is pretty good here. Would be nice to have a shadow under the boot though. Seems like there could be multiple levels with increasing difficulty, multiple spiders, or more clutter in the room perhaps. |
| Dec 31 18:37:00 | 8m 00s | A Tale of Two Tables | Omg, I love this concept! Very fun to play too. Would be nice if scoring was communicated a bit more clearly, maybe if the blocks actually broke apart if hit hard enough. Anyway, nice work! |
| Dec 31 18:44:00 | 7m 00s | RITUAL | Dang, very cool atmosphere - shame that it seems to end early. I was very intrigued by the set up, would be interesting to see where you were planning on going with this. |
| Dec 31 18:52:00 | 8m 00s | BBS. Room One | Very cool, I think this is a great use of the theme, nice to see new possibilities open open up in the same room, almost like a super condensed Metroidvania. I couldn't figure out what to do when I got the machine gun, but I enjoyed it up til there! |
| Dec 31 18:54:00 | 2m 00s | Da Vinci's Revenge | Great work for an 11 year old. Congrats and keep making games! |
| Dec 31 19:01:00 | 7m 00s | One Room: Five Routes | Nice concept, cool to see the different routes that different characters can take. The controls feel a bit loose, making things a little harder than they need to be, but overall I think this is a solid entry! |
| Dec 31 19:21:00 | 20m 00s | One piece in one room | Really creative and unique concept and well executed! I think visually understanding what interactions will happen during the play is a bit confusing and it can move too fast for you to even react. That being said, I enjoyed it! |
| Dec 31 19:30:00 | 9m 00s | Let them in | Really cool graphics (especially that title animation wow!), but the gameplay is very hard to decipher. Like am I supposed to let everyone in and why is the timing of the button press seem so hard to nail down? But still really solid effort! |
| Dec 31 19:35:00 | 5m 00s | Dethroned | Dang, really cool - seems very polished and great artwork. I personally needed more time to be able to react to the dodge commands though, made the game a bit too hard for me. |
| Dec 31 19:39:00 | 4m 00s | Inside The Box | Really...strange game. I didn't realize standing in an elevator was so hazardous to my health. I do think being trapped in an elevator is great use of the theme, but the gameplay here isn't very clear. |
| Dec 31 20:06:00 | 27m 00s | Attack of the aliens! | Simple but certainly functional little shooting game. Definitely could use a little more variety to spice up the gameplay, but a solid effort! |
| Dec 31 20:12:00 | 6m 00s | Claustrophobia | Very interesting vibe - kind of a creepy look into someone's subconscious. Well someone with a few issues they need to work out anyway. Gameplay is a bit fast and hard to get the hang of how to attack without getting hit yourself, but it's a pretty solid entry overall. |
| Dec 31 20:18:00 | 6m 00s | We are going to play this game. Cause its a really great game. | Haha, well this is the first escape the room game I played where I actually won! Pretty solid entry, although could definitely use some more polish. |
| Dec 31 20:25:00 | 7m 00s | Dark Room | Really interesting and unique vibe to this one. I like the unsettling, surreal feeling to everything. The gameplay is a little lacking, but as a short audio visual experience I think it's very cool! |
| Jan 2 00:53:00 | 28h 28m | ROOM ZERO | Really great minimalistic arcade game. Very challenging but I think in a good way. Also, great use of the theme! |
| Jan 2 00:58:00 | 5m 00s | SLIPSTAR | Cool, I feel like this would be a really solid base for a bigger game - the obvious thing missing I think is racing other people, but I'm sure that AI would be hard to program. Anyway, very solid work! |
| Jan 2 01:04:00 | 6m 00s | One Room | Very cool, I like the low-poly visuals and the overall concept is cool - I think finding the bird may be a bit too easy though, you don't look around at all if the goal is right in front of you. |
| Jan 2 01:08:00 | 4m 00s | Sandman Cometh - Team Sparrow | Guessing you ran out of time on this one? Seems like it could be interesting but obviously missing some important stuff! |
| Jan 2 01:13:00 | 5m 00s | Twelve Days of Murder! | Good concept, but I feel like the gameplay is a bit hard to grasp. I "won" twice in a row without really understanding what I had done besides clicking the "light" button. Anyway credit for the ambitious idea and dark take on the holidays! |
| Jan 2 01:19:00 | 6m 00s | Final Boss | Pretty impressive for a weekend's work. I think the base for an awesome boss fight is there, just needs some tweaks to the difficulty, and maybe a better sense of when your attacks are connecting. |
| Jan 2 01:26:00 | 7m 00s | the room | Wow! Really well done, very technically impressive. And great use of stylistic minimalism. Definitely deserves a longer version! |
| Jan 2 01:32:00 | 6m 00s | Rectal Defender | Haha, well I certainly think this will do well in the humor category. I mean I'm not sure why my poop doesn't want the other poops to get out - maybe you can explore some or the lore and backstory in the sequel. Anyway, nice work! |
| Jan 2 15:44:00 | 14h 12m | Box Kingdom | Pretty unusual concept, I'll give you that. A bit hard to understand at first, but using the seed to lure the bird to was pretty clever. Solid entry! |
| Jan 2 15:51:00 | 7m 00s | Flat Zombies!!! | Dang, REALLY impressive art and animation here! Really fun to watch the zombie bodies pile up, but obviously a win/loss condition would help take the gameplay to the next level. |
| Jan 2 16:33:00 | 42m 00s | One Step Back | Nice, surprisingly fleshed out w lots of animations and content. I think you did a decent job capturing the vibe of The Stanley Parable, but I think more humor and more extreme situations would help. But for a game jam this is really impressive! |
| Jan 2 16:43:00 | 10m 00s | Big Platform | Cool, very solid little platformer with a nice variety of mechanics. One criticism: I feel like the dark areas slowed down the pace of the game unnecessarily. I also didn't really understand the "story" of this game... but still very good effort! |
| Jan 2 16:46:00 | 3m 00s | Kill that Robot | Cool, very nice for a first game. That robot has maybe a tad too much health, but the mechanics overall are pretty solid. |
| Jan 2 16:52:00 | 6m 00s | An ordinary room? | Very weird, enjoyable little game. I feel like the humor makes up for the simple mechanics. I will cherries the time I spent with it :D |
| Jan 2 16:59:00 | 7m 00s | Cold Day in the Office | Nice, I like the aesthetic - it's a bit gross but in a good way, that fits the theme of the game. Obviously some more gameplay would add to the experience, but still entertaining for what it is! |
| Jan 2 17:02:00 | 3m 00s | Ghost Mine | Cool, pretty solid concept and fun gameplay, but I do think it gets a bit too hard too fast. The environment could use some more variety too, but overall nice work! |
| Jan 2 23:26:00 | 6h 24m | Spacedoor | Very cool atmosphere and nice use of sound and video effects. Too bad it's a bit short, would have been nice to get more use out of the flashlight or screwdriver mechanics. Still very well done! |
| Jan 2 23:40:00 | 14m 00s | JazzHole | Wow, love the awesomely weird aesthetics of this, feels like a lost classic straight out of the 90s. Dig the jazz man's laid back posture too. Surprisingly fleshed out platforming mechanics w a great twist. Get's a bit too hard to predict the rotation toward the end though. |
| Jan 3 01:28:00 | 1h 48m | Spellbound | Very strong entry all around - surprised how many layers there were to this. Besides the water section being a bit too cryptic, the mechanics worked pretty well, and could be great with a little more polish. And of course, the soundtrack is amazing! |
| Jan 3 01:31:00 | 3m 00s | Chicky & The Room Of Unfinished LD | Nice, good take on the Monument Valley mechanics. It's short but sweet! |
| Jan 3 01:37:00 | 6m 00s | A Fox's Room | Hmmm... it's a bit obtuse, I can't really understand how to interact with things or why things are changing. Still, it's graphically pretty good and the dialogue creates an interesting sort of surreal vibe. |
| Jan 3 01:47:00 | 10m 00s | Arcane Incrementalist | Definitely one of the more unique games I've played this LD, both in terms of type of gameplay and the HTML presentation. That being said, waiting for numbers to slowly increase just isn't that engaging so I couldn't stick with it for too long. |
| Jan 3 01:52:00 | 5m 00s | No More Monkeys | Very well made and cute game! Bopping those sock monkeys feels pretty good, and choosing which direction to launch is a neat mechanic. The game feels a bit too easy though, maybe respawning the bears every turn is too generous? |
