| May 1 10:09:17 | A Small Carrot World | ♥ 1 | The game was really fun at first but it sadly got boring quite quickly. The idea was interesting but it lacked some motivation for continuing the game, because when you figured out the best way to survive was to plant all your seeds beside one hole and wait for them to grow, it just stopped being fun for me. I would have liked if the game encouraged the player to use their sprint or just some more running around dodging eagles while picking up carrots. (Some sounds would also have been great) It worked smoothly on my windows machine so no problems there. | |
| May 1 10:47:23 | 38m 06s | Every Man's Sky | ♥ 2 | This was a very interesting entry and it was somehow very satisfying placing random spheres everywhere with some weird names. And of course also discovering what weird stuff other people has placed. Kudos to you for trying something different. |
| May 1 11:19:15 | 31m 52s | Submerged | ♥ 3 | A fun little game but i missed some feel of progression, maybe a counter that tells how many floods you have survived. And really, you wrote that the pond was useless and still you had me build one... :P Some sounds would be great. |
| May 1 11:39:34 | 20m 19s | The Last Pea | ♥ 2 | I see this was maybe not the best game out there but it was a fun idea. The main fault i maybe that the "You Win" and "You Lose" texts does not disappear after a while and remains there until you lose or win again. |
| May 1 12:07:44 | 28m 10s | A small world | ♥ 4 | Well, I'm not sure I would classify this as a game, more like a short story in a video format with two button presses. Its nice to see people use music in their games so that was a definitive plus. It would have been more like a game if the player could have controlled the boat :( Nice work anyway! |
| May 1 12:58:15 | 50m 31s | hand of god | ♥ 2 | That was very cool! I didn't want it to end...there were to few levels ๐ It felt like a fully fledged game that had good looking graphics and sound that fit the theme you were going for. |
| May 1 14:47:15 | 1h 49m | Protolife | ♥ 3 | This is a neat little game that takes a couple tries before you understand everything the game has to offer. It is also very challenging which is in my opinion a good thing. Nice sounds and music. |
| May 1 17:46:45 | 2h 59m | SUN GOD | ♥ 3 | The intro and the whole game was very good. I especially enjoyed the music which was quite catchy. The game worked smoothly and the tutorial pages were very useful. |
| May 1 18:23:54 | 37m 09s | MagiSEED | ♥ 4 | Its a fun little game with quite charming art style and pretty good sounds. Every level has something new which is very nice. You could have used the size changers in some more levels because it could have been a key feature for the gameplay but now it feels like pretty much any platformer out there where the player only has to dodge that and push those. What Iยดm trying to say is that the first level had a labyrinth feel to it, that could have been expanded. The music was quite good but it got a bit annoying in the end because it was on loop the whole game. You could have had some short pauses in the music or something. |
| May 2 12:04:40 | 17h 40m | BUS DRIVER | ♥ 1 | Nice game but it was a bit too similar to snake. The music was nice and the graphic style fit well with the game. No bugs either (that i could find). It would have been nice if the map would have changed somehow, maybe different levels or something. But otherwise pretty good. |
| May 2 12:38:42 | 34m 02s | Rift World | ♥ 2 | Quite a interesting game but it really lacked sounds. And I would recommend putting some images on this page and as a cover so that people can see the game before they download it. Because it really got nice artwork, its just a shame you don't show it on the site. At firs I didn't really understand what to do, because if you don't immediately start defending the rifts you lose in about 15 sec or something. But once you understood the game it started to get fun. A problem in the game was that I really didn't know which rift was which when they looked identical and they were not even in order. The furthest away was number 2 which was a little odd. You could also have shown some hp bars of your defenders, now you just had to rely on the small boxes on the sides on the screen. Almost the whole game depended on those boxes and the rest of the screen wasn't really necessary for the gameplay. Was it intentional that the researcher was able to cure and research at the same time or was it just a bug? But all in all a good idea that could have had some last polishing to make the gameplay more fun and easier to play. |
| May 2 12:58:28 | 19m 46s | Lil Planet | ♥ 4 | This was a pretty good game with nice sounds and cool animations. But there were some things that could have been done better for the gameplay. The first time I played (in the browser) I got totally destroyed in the beginning because I was unlucky enough to get 3 snowballs hit me and I lost. Then I tried to restart the game after I died and i didn't find any function that did that so I had to refresh. But after that I understand to start moving directly at the start of the game. So I would recommend making a retry button so that people don't have to refresh the browser when they die. The music was a bit enervating but at least it got some music so that is a plus. But all in all a very fun little game. ๐ |
| May 2 17:54:54 | 4h 56m | Dean's World | ♥ 3 | A very nice game, with good sounds. It was like a 2d minecraft. The game was a bit too hard to survive, even after I read your guide. It is pretty much only one route to take in resource gathering. Any other path and you die... The art style was very nice and I really enjoyed the look of the fog disappearing. The crafting could have shown you when you got something right before you made it and it would also have been nice to have one button to move everything back to your inventory. The world could have been an island instead of a world with a black edge (as an island the world would seem more endless). But all in all a very solid entry! |
| May 6 10:16:21 | 88h 21m | Hopper | ♥ 3 | Nice game! The sound and style of the game fit very well together in this game. My biggest disappointment in the game was that it was very easy and not a challenge at all. The Z power in the end felt like cheating to skip over a lot of the levels and you were easily able to dodge all the barriers. The idea was quite interesting and worked very well for the theme. All in all a nice little game that could have benefited from some better level design. |
| May 6 10:28:09 | 11m 48s | Gate Breaker | ♥ 1 | I don't really know how and why the password started showing up but it did. And the password was a bit too easy because I actually guessed it the first time without killing any bugs. Maybe have the password change so that you can play it more or make it more of a mystery. And even though I took a lot of hits I didn't seem to take that much damage. Some sounds would have been a definitive bonus for the mood and fun of the game. |
| May 6 10:56:56 | 28m 47s | Godspeed Mankind | ♥ 1 | A nice game but it got boring quite fast when you just had to traverse the planet over and over again until the water run out and you cities died one by one. It didn't feel like I did something wrong when the water ran out because it was based on rng. So i would suggest not having the rng element in this type of game when it is all about resources gathering and everything is just based on when it rains. The graphics fit well with the audio and that crated a nice cartoony feel. |
| May 6 19:20:35 | 8h 23m | Gnome Digger | ♥ 1 | Quite a good game, but what was the surprise in the bottom? I just found rocks. The music changed when you got deeper which was nice but the sounds got a bit enervating after a while. So was the point of the game to find something or just mine endlessly to get better tools? But don't get me wrong the main game was pretty good, but I just didn't see the goal of it. |
