| May 1 07:51:56 | Shrinking Planet | ♥ 9 | The aesthetics of this game are fantastic -- in particular I love the grass shader and the particle effects! I was a bit confused at first about the presence of the road, thinking I was supposed to try stick to it. The game is fun and challenging (I think the world shrinking is a brilliant way to increase the difficult), my only complaint there is that if I just head off in a random direction at the start of the game, I can usually coast along for about 20 seconds without having to dodge anything. It might be a good idea to target a meteor at the player's predicted position (if they were to continue in a straight line) every few seconds, just to keep them on their toes at the beginning! Good music, great atmosphere, I enjoyed it a lot. | |
| May 1 08:22:21 | 30m 25s | Spaceworm - Defend a sacred tree from worms invading your planet | ♥ 1 | Very cool idea, and for the most part, well implemented too. One bug I encountered is, after placing a long row of bricks/bombs, my character would sometime continue moving in the same direction without any input (the enemies were able to move during this time). The other problem I had, as Steve noted, was the enemy passing through my player in certain instances. Overall I though the gameplay was enjoyable, and the graphics were simple, but effective. |
| May 1 08:40:19 | 17m 58s | Hunting Frog | ♥ 1 | Cute graphics and good use of the theme. Would have loved to have some music, and perhaps the frog could be made a little easier to control by adding a variable jump distance based on how long the key is held down? In any case, I enjoyed it! |
| May 1 09:00:24 | 20m 05s | Planet Orb Trials - Time Attack | ♥ 1 | Nice game, I got a bit dizzy haring around those small worlds, but still had a good time. It would be great to get a mac build though, because the webgl is a little bit laggy, at least for me. Struggled to get that high orb on the second planet, even once I discovered the feather. I'm probably just terrible though... I understand there wasn't exactly an abundance of time, but some different colours for each of the three worlds would have been cool! Was a bit surprised when the GoT theme came on :) |
| May 1 09:19:17 | 18m 53s | Balanced Upon A Turtle | ♥ 1 | Cool idea! Found controlling the god a little tricky, but I am just using keyboard. Can't get past disc 3, unfortunately, because there's one sheep that just slides off right away and I can't reach it in time. Not sure if I'm missing something? |
| May 1 09:36:49 | 17m 32s | Turtle Hero | ♥ 2 | I like the idea, and would certainly play again if it was expanded upon. The hand-drawn graphics are cute! |
| May 1 10:14:32 | 37m 43s | Planet Hell | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed playing this, it's very relaxing. The graphics are simple, but effective; now just needs some soothing music! |
| May 1 10:36:21 | 21m 49s | Tiny Defender | ♥ 2 | Full points for graphics, this game is absolutely beautiful! I love the swirling clouds, and the planet design. The effect when the asteroids crash into the planet is a bit underwhelming though. Game was fun and challenging, but would certainly have liked a few more turrets to choose from. It was slightly irritating that I could always see the least directly above me, perhaps a different aspect ratio would have interesting? Also, are the bullets supposed to be firing straight out of my head? Final note -- I think if a rock lands on you, you should be squashed. Enjoyed it very much overall; fantastic entry. |
| May 1 11:04:01 | 27m 40s | Particulate | ♥ 2 | That was fun. Would be nice if having more mass meant I could steal from other planets though, I'm getting tired of being robbed blind! I'd also like it if my planet physically scaled as it gained mass, and camera zoomed out. Gaining mass would feel more consequential then, I think. Well done! |
| May 1 11:11:22 | 7m 21s | Polar Protector | ♥ 0 | Great work! I enjoyed the absorption mechanic, the catchy music, and the rather literal interpretation of the planet's poles. Was completely baffled about the damage mechanic until I read the comments though, perhaps you could add that info to your main post? |
| May 1 11:23:14 | 11m 52s | Dr. M Little's Planet Mass Overdrive | ♥ 1 | I found the dialogue very amusing, so good work on that! The graphics were pretty nice, and the gameplay was decent, though extremely easy. Nicely done! |
| May 1 21:23:56 | 10h 00m | Vixa | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is very addictive! Can't say I was exactly able to turn off my mind and relax, as you put it; I found the gameplay very challenging, but enjoyably so. Great music, and a nice, simple design. Awesome work :) |
| May 2 11:03:27 | 13h 39m | Bug to the Footstep | ♥ 1 | I'm on a mac, so was only able to experience the game through Larry and Jupiter's videos. Still, I thought it was a very neat idea -- grabbing and placing the little bugs makes it a lot more compelling than simply placing abstract blocks. The graphical style fits the game very nicely, and that the puzzles were well designed in terms of difficulty progression. Very nice work! By the way, I added an option to invert the y axis in my game, if you're still interested in taking on the leaderboards ;) |
| May 19 11:05:58 | 408h 02m | Cell Out! | ♥ 0 | Cool idea, I liked the soft-body effect. Wish there was more of a challenge though! |
| May 19 11:12:09 | 6m 11s | SlapR | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed the game. Would have been cool if the penguins leapt onto the ice disc from surrounding ice blocks, instead of just appearing from thin air. Animations and outraged squawking sfx would have been a nice touch! |
| May 19 11:19:14 | 7m 05s | Trienne's Trial | ♥ 1 | I love the player art, and the enemy design is quite interesting. Struggled terribly with some of the jumps, but I may just be terrible. |
| May 19 11:28:37 | 9m 23s | Zombies In Space | ♥ 0 | Quite fun for the first few rounds. I think zombies should die several seconds after their heads are blown off though. The damage effect overlay didn't match the screen size, and looked quite ugly cut off on the edges. The fade to red at the end was nice and dramatic! Some recoil and gun sway would have helped a lot to make the game more immersive. |
| May 19 11:37:04 | 8m 27s | Spabullare | ♥ 0 | I liked the input scheme you chose. As has been mentioned, sfx and faster shooting would make this a lot more immersive. |
| May 19 11:47:03 | 9m 59s | Den | ♥ 2 | Such a cool feeling to play as this strange beast. I thought the way it looked as it moved around was brilliant. Mood and music is great -- phenomenal entry! |
| May 19 11:53:29 | 6m 26s | Colorfly | ♥ 0 | You've created a lovely mood here. Would definitely have enjoyed it more if there were some degree of challenge though. |
| May 19 11:58:30 | 5m 01s | Monolith | ♥ 0 | I absolutely loved the aesthetic of this game, and had a great time playing. I ended up dying quite a lot, so would have appreciated a quicker restart. Pressing z just did slow fade out to menu. |
| May 19 12:07:33 | 9m 03s | Murder Mitosis | ♥ 2 | Very neat idea, and excellent execution. Would like to be able to restart game early if I die in a bot-only game. |
