Dec 13 06:35:00 SPAB Loved the puzzles! Wished the keys spelled out something every level. Or do they...
Dec 13 06:43:00 8m 00s A Very Holiday Special Space Cat Christmas Time! What in the world. Loved the humor!
Dec 13 06:56:00 13m 00s VR Block Buster Congrats on making a game! And a fully functional game at that! I liked that the lava made the "world" believable, if that makes sense. <br/> <br/>I was so pumped when I got to 200 points. Made the grind all worth it. <br/> <br/>For the future, I'd focus on sounds first, HUD second. Easy things to make the game feel real.
Dec 13 16:19:00 9h 23m Christmas Factory Loved the room graphics! The models looked great, and the particle effects made it feel alive. Everything had a nice christmas-y theme overall. <br/> <br/>Gameplay needs some work though. Lots of little bugs.
Dec 13 16:38:00 19m 00s Will you exit ? Great first game! Didn't see any bugs, so kudos for that. Objective was clear and easy to follow, especially since the keys shined so nicely. I appreciated the variety in enemies, too (though the gates doing 8 damage was a little harsh!) I managed to beat the game on my first play through with 2 lives remaining. <br/> <br/>The difficulty seemed reversed; it was hard at the beginning and then was super easy at the end. Adding sounds would be a simple way to make the game feel so much better. <br/> <br/>Can't wait to see your next game!
Dec 13 16:52:00 14m 00s Bite The Pain Amazing! The graphics blew me away. Everything contributed to the gameplay, which I found addicting. The only thing I thought was better than the bleeding patients (need to be saved ASAP, great use of UI) were the balding ones! Hilarious. <br/> <br/>The title was a tad confusing; I thought I was going to be a patient at first, or at least administer drugs to incoming patients. But the gameplay was smooth and bug free. Everything just made sense. Congrats!
Dec 13 17:21:00 29m 00s [Almost] One Room Awesome! Reminds me so much of Stanley Parable and The Witness. Excellent use of theme. The easter eggs were fun to find as well. You can't tell me what to do. <br/> <br/>I didn't get the green room's puzzle (I think the slash confused me). After getting the other rooms right, I just cycled through the green numbers and it unlocked the door. Maybe have a separate button to check if your answer is correct? <br/> <br/>Wish I could've stayed in the end room longer. Graphics and sound were superb. Overall, an astounding game!
Dec 13 17:34:00 13m 00s OctaRoom Outstanding work on the powerups, both in abilities and placement (having to go in the middle was risky and rewarding). I played on both noob and intermediate, and the challenge was as expected. I really appreciated the visual differences too (e.g. room changes color based on killer or not, and apocalypse is all red). <br/> <br/>Sounds were a bit unnerving, especially the voice. It took me awhile to realize the different abilities; I had to take a break mid-game to read the UI to make sense of it. Amazing work in 48 hours though!
Dec 13 19:18:00 1h 44m Detective Game 37 I like the graphics and sounds! Only had one controller, so didn't quite get the full experience. I could add more players via keyboard, but I couldn't figure out how to control them. Interesting concept though!
Dec 13 20:09:00 51m 00s Together Great puzzle game! Started with simple puzzles to get you used to things, and ended at just the right difficulty. The sounds and colors nicely complemented what was happening to the rooms. Good job!
Dec 14 05:08:00 8h 59m Protect Your PS4!! Cute graphics! Funny game. Wish blocks were easier to place. Died with a minute left!
Dec 14 05:18:00 10m 00s Exam Simulator Very unique concept. Wish I could cheat more without failing instantly! Teacher was too mean.
Dec 14 05:25:00 7m 00s Roomba Fight Club Roombas unite! Game looked great. Loved the slow-mo when I got hit to tell me exactly how much I messed up :P
Dec 14 05:33:00 8m 00s Alice in The Wonder Room Awesome animations! Audio fit the visuals really well. Loved the use of Alice and the keys as well. Couldn't beat the knight!
Dec 14 05:43:00 10m 00s I REMEMBER NOW Very atmospheric! Models were oustanding. Gameplay was great for the limited amount of time. Felt like a finished product.
Dec 14 18:30:00 12h 47m Tomb Room Loved the design of the room. The lighting and particle effects created a great atmosphere. <br/> <br/>Puzzles were a bit unintuitive, but I got the ending! Made me laugh. Never figured out what the ankh did. <br/> <br/>I found the death animation to be good, then repetitive, then funny when it was the same thing over and over. Don't know if that was the intended effect or not :P <br/> <br/>Overall, well done!
Dec 14 18:48:00 18m 00s The Leaky Ceiling Fun wait-and-click-game. I liked the randomness of it all: the comments, making friends with whatever's in the room, the husky. Music was great. Art could've used better composition. I did enjoy the tail wag though. Good job!
Dec 15 05:55:00 11h 07m Hyperspeed Farmer The backstory sold it for me. Good job. The graphics and/or lack of text made it hard to understand what was going on at first, but after I figured out what everything does the game became fun. Died a couple times, but progress or research didn't reset. Got to the end but nothing happened. Good idea though!
Dec 15 05:57:00 2m 00s Ghost In the room I liked the graphics and sounds. Gameplay was lacking!
Dec 15 18:29:00 12h 32m Scary Monsters Nice work. Got to wave 3, but quickly died :( That random ghost that appears in the dark was annoying! Sprites were good, as were the sounds. The use of the TV and lamp made gameplay interesting. Really wish the camera was zoomed out a bit more. It was hard to tell where things were. Hope to see more from you guys!
Dec 15 18:38:00 9m 00s Ikea-ller Right-clicking on pieces wouldn't change the shape visually, but I think it technically worked. Hacked my way through a couple of levels just by guessing where the pieces actually were. <br/> <br/>I quite enjoyed the story and menu/text, but didn't see how it worked into the game after that. Loved all the drawings!
Dec 15 18:45:00 7m 00s Plantolution Loved the music and slow pace. Graphics fit well. Couldn't get a flower with no stems to grow though, even after multiple restarts and many minutes right-clicking.
Dec 15 22:04:00 3h 19m Diplomacy Lovely visuals. Didn't quite get how to win; I think it bugged out since I couldn't send ships anyway. Nice implementation of an often overlooked genre!
Dec 16 05:40:00 7h 36m One Room to Freedom Congrats on you first LD! I enjoyed the puzzle element of trying to avoid the snakes. I was confused as to why my key wouldn't open two chests I came across :( I only unlocked one feather before giving up. Anyways, nice work! Go libgdx!
Dec 16 18:18:00 12h 38m Luread Mud - World Tour '73 Really fun time waster! Controller support was a nice touch. Everything was so thematically appropriate. Well done!
Dec 17 05:34:00 11h 16m Utility Station OR-152 Very cool game. Impressive that all the subsystems work! I cleared two ships without a hitch. Felt so proud of myself. A lot of interesting ideas can be implemented in the future. Spot on with the audio, too.
Dec 18 00:59:00 19h 25m Trump's First Day Very interesting concept. So hectic!
Dec 18 23:46:00 22h 47m Waiter Simulator 2017!1! Cool looking sprites. Wish there was a real ending to the game. Good work for 12 hours though! I appreciated the attempt at incorporating typing with gameplay.
Dec 18 23:55:00 9m 00s Spooky Ghost Room I really enjoyed the visuals. Looked like something straight from the 90s. Music was catchy (if a bit repetitive). Gameplay was a tad too simple. For example, your lighted area could get bigger as you gained more lights. Great job on the procedural generation!
Dec 19 00:04:00 9m 00s Royal Roomba Rumble Well done with the dirt tracking and cleanup! Wish I could figure out how that's done. Cat AI could've used some work. Real good for 48 hours!
Dec 19 00:19:00 15m 00s Paranormal Cativity Pretty cool game. Music, videos, and gameplay created a very unique experience. Can't believe you used the Wilhelm scream in a game about a cat-roomba ghost chaser.
Dec 19 02:49:00 2h 30m I Clean Toilet Superb work. Animations were on point, as was gameplay. Really enjoyed the small audio quips! I clean toilet.
Dec 19 23:09:00 20h 20m Throne Room of the Merchant King Trading is always fun! Wish there was some sort of ultimate resource you were trying to gain. The "game" was pretty easy. Merchants near the top of the screen were hard to read. Loved the concept though!
Dec 20 00:40:00 1h 31m Don't Escape Great use of mechanics and theme! Loved the game from start to finish. Great ending, if a little out there (was that a cat under a hood?)
Dec 20 00:47:00 7m 00s Omega Robot When I ran the .exe, a screen opened then closed, making a click sound. Couldn't get it to run :( <br/> <br/>Source code looks nice. Mmmmmm entity-component systems...
Dec 20 19:27:00 18h 40m One Room At A Time Fun basic stealth game. Sounds were good. Definitely would've liked more challenging levels. <br/> <br/>Got Pasifist and Intuitive. There was a bug on the first level when you let the second enemy live and kill the third, you float right offscreen, seemingly killing the second enemy on the way.
Dec 23 05:25:00 57h 58m Loop Hell Amazing work the pixel art and cinematics. Audio went well with the game. <br/> <br/>Got the punishment ending, but not sure if there's more to it. Great job!
