May 1 12:21:51 Mouth Rescue ♥ 1 I thought it was pretty good! I don't know if it's just on my machine, but there's an issue where the pivot point is not correct if you go left/right so it "jumps" a bit - but that actually makes it more challenging xD My only complaint is that the music does not fit the game style - the graphics are super cute, and it's a game about a tooth who brushes teeth... The music should have been more "cute" rather than ambient-house so it would support the mood. But besides that, great work!
May 1 12:29:38 7m 47s Ark of the new world ♥ 1 I liked it... very original! I thought it had no strategy at first (like, you just put people down then math.random())... but by the end I was being VERY careful about when and where I placed people. Great idea!
May 1 12:38:19 8m 41s The World Repeats ♥ 0 Dang it, windows only - I really wanted to play this one. It looks really nice - so much style - I wonder if you could do a asm.js build or something so we could run it in the browser?
May 1 12:47:56 9m 37s Space Aliens Are Coming ♥ 1 Ha ha, weird game! I was a bit horrified when my person went into a house, made a baby, and the baby was instantly taken by aliens. That's life I guess. It goes a bit wacky when you run around the planet enough (the player starts doing the limbo) - but I like that. The sound effects were great... the music, a bit nuts but matched the feel of the game. Great work! (also, yep: confirm runs well on mac - but if you could do a web build I think more people will play it)
May 1 13:01:58 14m 02s Naarrow ♥ 1 I lost a lot of time to this game... I have to play and rate more games, but I added this to a note saying "play again!". Really cool idea, and besides having to hammer the X button a bit it feels really cool. I even like the weird player graphic xD
May 1 13:09:44 7m 46s Dot ♥ 1 Ha, great concept! The ending cracked me up... had to do it twice.
May 1 13:17:43 7m 59s A small world ♥ 3 I liked the little story, and the L/D islands. But I'd have that text type at double the speed... even if it would make the story even shorter xD
May 1 13:41:39 23m 56s Gravitational Gravityness ♥ 1 I had heaps of fun playing with this... i kind of wish it were more "zoomed out" to see a bigger picture. I spent ages trying to get something in orbit (because my game was about getting something in orbit!) - is it possible?
May 1 14:45:05 1h 03m Don't Make Me Stop This Car! ♥ 3 Cracked me up! "Don't make me stop this car" is a great title. The game play is pretty tough though: hitting a 5 lane traffic jam, and smashing into the back of a car with no place to go seems a little unfair! Instead of "You won", it should be "have to pull over because someone needs a toilet break" - then on to level 2 xD
May 1 15:03:10 18m 05s Rebuild. ♥ 1 Well executed! Dragging the world around it really satisfying... would be good to see this small world entry expanded into a big world!
May 1 15:09:53 6m 43s Around The World in 80 Seconds ♥ 1 Yeah, I agree with @astrkl - really great art! And the way it segues from one area to the next feels really nice. There should be some kind of indication that the enemies are planning to jump... like, they should have a pose for "about to jump" otherwise it feels a bit unfair that they randomly jump up and hit you and there's nothing you can do. "Be careful of the people of the world who want you dead for some reason" made me laugh out loud for real.
May 1 15:12:48 2m 55s Bee World ♥ 1 Nice effort - i really like the feeling of the game: quite relaxing! I think to make it more "meaningful" it would be good if you were collecting the pollen for a reason: like, collecting pollen fills up a power-up bar and when it's full you get a life back. Annnyhoo, good work!
May 1 15:18:50 6m 02s Run the World! ♥ 3 haha, I'm a sucker for outrun games... especially for ones where you can magically drive from Rio to Lisbon via Canada xD The collision detection was a bit frustrating in that if you hit a car, you'd stop - and the car you hit would slowwwwly move away, so you'd just hit it again. It would be better if the car zoomed off faster so you had a chance to avoid it. It was fun though: i played it for way too long!
May 1 15:31:10 12m 20s RGB ♥ 2 Wow, great game - my brain is all mushy now. Is that an original concept? It's very cool. I feel like there were too many concepts introduced in a row without giving a chance to try them out - like, after introducing the basic rules of color splitting, there should be a few levels of just this before you introduce the next lot of mechanics... but that's a minor nitpick, it was really cool!
May 1 15:37:17 6m 07s Wrong Delivery ♥ 1 Nice effort - the quick restart meant it didn't get annoying when trying to get back up through the level and hitting a bad guy (because I'm impatient). I personally would have liked a tinnnnny bit more float in the jumping, but it felt really nice.
May 1 15:55:15 17m 58s The Dance We Do ♥ 0 I loved this - excellent idea, that kept me intrigued and happy.
May 1 15:58:59 3m 44s Diner at Pacman's Cousin ♥ 1 If that's Pacman's cousin's dinner table... how big is Pacman's cousin?! I don't know why, but this entertained me for a lot longer than it should have. It was almost relaxing! Weird and awesome.
May 1 16:11:09 12m 10s First entry - A small world LD38 ♥ 0 Hey, does this work properly on web? In your screen shot there are "<", ">", "B", "A" buttons - but i don't see them. I can't figure out what to do! I kind of feel like the idea is you're zooming in down to the atomic level... but not sure what to do there as the atoms fling off into space! Anyway, that music loop is awesome and will be stuck in my head all afternoon.
May 1 18:45:57 2h 34m Daphnia forge ♥ 0 That is one cute main character! I gave you extra marks on graphics just for that weird little moving animation ;). The way they move when they attach is feels so nice - kind of feels "spring-y". The game play is pretty simple, but surprisingly fun!
May 1 18:50:10 4m 13s Islanders ♥ 0 omfg... what was that?! Took me a while to figure out how the different fruit worked... and when I finally did, there was a - well, no spoilers for anyone else. This game was great: that wacky theme tune, the weird sound effects. I'd write some more, but I gotta have another go
May 1 18:55:46 5m 36s A Brief Retreat ♥ 2 Wow, you managed to get a lot of functionality in there! That was also quite a relaxing game. It would be better with some anitations (digging/chopping) - but obviously that would have resulted in less content. Still, I really enjoyed this!
May 1 18:59:29 3m 43s What Remains. ♥ 1 Holy crap - that's a LOT of work you got done! Amazing! I wish there were some "tool tips" when I moused-over screen icons, because I had to load the intro screen in another tab to remember what the icons were for for a while. Really great effort though!
May 2 16:18:59 21h 19m littleBLASTplanet ♥ 1 Yeap, I agree the blocks fall too fast and are just unfair (rather than challenging). Also, I found jumping to be way too dangerous, so just never did it - just spammed the shoot button and stayed as still as possible... maybe in the next levels you needed to jump (or release the shoot button) - but I couldn't figure out how to get off the planet. I went to the escape zone and pressed all the keys I could, but couldn't trigger anything. What's the trick? But all of those points are minor, balancing things. I played this game for ages (it took me a long time to survive 30 seconds - I think the initial difficulty needs some tweaking ;). It's got potential to be really fun. Also, I kind of liked the "follow" camera more than the static - the bullets look really cool as you move around. Anyhoo, great job!
May 2 16:29:46 10m 47s The Button Room ♥ 2 Confusing, but lovely art... would be interesting to see where you take it!
May 2 16:41:34 11m 48s LOST PLANET(oid) ♥ 1 I won (but lost my no claim bonus :)). I liked it all except for that screen where you had to zig-zag back and forward like you were in the line at the airport. That's not fun in the airport, and not fun in a game xD. Those alien characters are pretty creepy too. Great effort!
May 2 19:31:34 2h 50m SMALL WORLD of LOVER ♥ 0 Excellent idea, and well executed... I could not succeed though - relationships are tough!
May 2 19:36:41 5m 07s Intergalactic Lemonade Inc. ♥ 2 You had me at "Intergalactic Lemonade Inc", but unfortunately it wouldn't load in my browser (Firefox) - just got stuck on some ad screen (why is there ads xD)
May 2 19:49:47 13m 06s LD38: Aurelia ♥ 0 "roam around on a small planet and kill stuff" hahah, great tag line... also, they are some biiiiig "grubs" xD I enjoyed wandering around the planet - the graphics looked great, and the achievements were a good idea!
May 2 19:59:16 9m 29s Macdyver ♥ 2 I played it for a good few "strong currents" - very enjoyable and relaxing. I think the "inside" music doesn't match the aesthetic as well as the "outside" music. Would be great to see this game expanded!
May 2 20:05:11 5m 55s Pantheon Putt Putt ♥ 1 WOAH! I am a sucker for put-put games anyway, but this was AWESOME! (I played it in the browser, played fine) The graphics are great, it's a hilarious concept, and the "pinball" mechanics are super fun - really fantastic work.
May 2 20:23:12 18m 01s Rock-E ♥ 1 What is going on?! hahaha, so many rock jokes. I loved it... you guys are crazy. The music was perfect too - great job!
May 3 14:21:13 17h 58m Ship in a Bottle ♥ 1 Pretty sure I won that game.
May 17 19:00:55 340h 39m Discours sur la révolution ♥ 0 Dang it - looks really intriguing, but I'm on mac... any chance of a port?!
