| May 1 01:52:30 | Dog Park Lovers | ♥ 0 | This was very cute, loved the presentation and the humor. Would be nice if there was more interactivity to it but good work. | |
| May 1 02:00:40 | 8m 10s | Natural Killer Prototype | ♥ 3 | The graphics and sound especially are really awesome. I had a hard time understanding what to do or how to drive my cell around, so a little better teaching would probably be my biggest area for improvement. Good work though! |
| May 1 03:45:39 | 1h 44m | SmallWorld | ♥ 0 | Interesting little resource management game. Could definitely be expanded upon in all sorts of ways. |
| May 1 03:52:29 | 6m 50s | Snake 3D | ♥ 0 | I thought this was awesome. Great twist on a classic. The first time I went through a tunnel made me say "woah" out loud. It was a little disorienting but nothing I couldn't adjust to. I think the main difficulty for me was in how reactive the snake felt to your inputs. It seemed like there was a bit of delay before turning and that often got the better of me. Great work though! |
| May 2 00:08:02 | 20h 15m | The SSS "Little Hope" | ♥ 2 | The concept of this is very cool and could be a very deep game. To me the ship felt very fast, and the camera too close so I didn't feel comfortable going fast without running into things. My biggest critique would be in a game with this many systems to introduce them naturally through gameplay rather than on a screen that appears before the game that is only viewable once. Also the music was very cool but the lack of sound effects (although scientifically accurate I suppose) made it feel a little empty. Good stuff overall, very nice work |
| May 2 00:10:28 | 2m 26s | Space^3 | ♥ 1 | I really like it. The rotating cube levels are very creative, and the gameplay was pretty fun. My main complaint is the lack of indication of my health, as I died unexpectedly. But great work overall |
| May 2 00:34:35 | 24m 07s | To do list | ♥ 2 | The graphics and music are phenomenal. Not to spoil anything for anyone but it started very cutesy but got very dark and interesting by the end. 100% recommend playing all the way through. It had a bit of the usual point-n-click adventure logical stretches about which items are supposed to be combined, but the small size of the world actually worked in your favor here by making there not be too many possibilities to try. Great work overall |
| May 2 00:44:07 | 9m 32s | Brainstorm 38 | ♥ 1 | This is really awesome, the humor is great and very meta, and the level design was challenging but in a fun way. Great job |
| May 2 00:48:42 | 4m 35s | Star Traveller | ♥ 5 | I really liked the visuals and the music. The gameplay was awesome and reminded me (in a very good way) of an old black and white point-and-click game I played as a kid called Cosmic Osmo and the Worlds Beyond the Mackerel. Unfortunately while that game was (or at least seemed) infinitely large, this one ended far too soon. But it was short and sweet. Good work! |
| May 2 00:53:07 | 4m 25s | A small World à la No Man's sky | ♥ 1 | This is a very good concept, and very ambitious, and I love that unlike most "fly-around-space" games this one does actually let you land on the planets. At the end of the day there isn't that much to do or see to keep a player around, but it's definitely a good base to build on. Good work! |
| May 2 00:58:14 | 5m 07s | Monolith | ♥ 3 | I absolutely LOVE the graphics. Phenomenal presentation. Gameplay was pretty cool, I love the bullet-hell concept done this way, with lots of varying enemy types that shoot in unique but predictable ways. my main complaint would be that the camera angle makes determining where bullets are relative to you very difficult. But it was still a great entry, good work |
| May 2 01:04:09 | 5m 55s | Smallish | ♥ 0 | This is a fun twist on the fish-pond/katamari/big-eats-little game. I like that your size is drained or gained just by proximity. I would say you probably would like to add some kind of particles to indicate movement, as with the nearly-static background it was sometimes difficult to tell. And maybe a bit more forgiveness on strong gravity wells and making it easier to escape. On the whole, good entry, nice work! |
| May 2 02:20:29 | 1h 16m | A Small Planet | ♥ 0 | This is one of my favorite games I've played for this LD so far. I'm a huge sucker for metroid-style gameplay where you find upgrades that allow you to backtrack to previous areas and do something new. This is a perfectly self-contained little game that uses that concept very well, the wraparound world makes sure that you're never totally lost and the upgrades like the drill are creative. The art is basic but looks nice. The sound would be my biggest complaint as it invokes an Atari 2600's bleeps and bloops more than anything to me, but it wasn't bad enough to really detract from the whole. Great work |
| May 2 02:30:56 | 10m 27s | STACK | ♥ 2 | This game is really cool, I didn't finish it because my tower got very difficult to climb up, but here's a list of things I loved: - the spherical world physics which feel totally great and natural - the vertigo-inducing fisheye camera when you're high in the air - the way the music fades out and the wind sounds come in when you're high up Here's what my stack looked like in the end Capture.PNG Great work! |
| May 2 03:49:07 | 1h 18m | Smalltrek | ♥ 2 | I really love this entry. The levels are like sliding puzzles taken to the extreme with lots of fun twists to keep them challenging. The little touches like the sound effects, the different poses to visually distinguish between happy and sad aliens, the way you have to physically execute the warp drive. It's all really satisfying! Great work! |
| May 2 22:46:24 | 18h 57m | The Adventure of Malvin | ♥ 1 | This is so awesome. The graphics are beautiful, and the gameplay feels so fluid. I love the segments where you can build up speed and power through multiple obstacles without ever stopping. Great work |
| May 3 01:57:12 | 3h 10m | Solitary Freedom | ♥ 1 | This was great. Once I got the hang of the mechanics each puzzle was very well constructed. My time at the end was 34.30. The sound was great but the music was a little bit grating. Wish it was longer too. But good work overall! |
