| Aug 1 08:43:30 | Journey in the Dark | ♥ 4 | Great game, especially love the mood of it all! Overall very good, (especially for a first try!) but since you asked for criticism: - Maybe start off with some easier obstacles, my first couple of tries I died with a nearly full battery on a hard first obstacle. Get your players to invest in the game and then kill them when they like it :) - Showing the area after death is nice, but doing so at full brightness is a bit jarring, maybe place a large gradient around the player to still allow the player to see where they failed while preserving the atmosphere. - At the beginning you already show the start area. The effect of the dragon would probably be greater if you can only spot it behind you with your flashlight. - While I understand your explanation, I agree with BAJARYMI that sometimes its hard to see what kills you. Especially at the spikes at the edges of some of the platforms. It might be clear that they are deadly, but where the killzone ends is hard to judge and critical information for an instant kill. - If you use Kongregate as your primary distribution platform, try to match their template size to avoid the scrollbars. (And add a full screen toggle) But as stated before, it's great already :) | |
| Aug 1 08:56:36 | 13m 06s | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 4 | Could definitely use some instructions! If you didn't have time to include them in the game, please add some to the description page to help your players. As it stands you tend to be unsure whether features are missing or you just don't know what you're doing as a player :) Minor bugs: - In the webplayer you can't close an upgrade window without switching to full screen. - Upgrade windows don't block clicks, so you can click on stuff hidden behind them. |
| Aug 1 10:12:03 | 1h 15m | Thunderstorm | ♥ 1 | Thor went from god to maintenance dude :P |
| Aug 1 12:53:30 | 2h 41m | Artax | ♥ 7 | Very polished and lots of content for a LD game! Minor critique: the platforming section at the very beginning seemed a bit hard compared to the rest. (or I'm just bad at jumping...) |
| Aug 1 14:20:39 | 1h 27m | There's No Place Like Home | ♥ 2 | It's a bit hard to respond to the asteroids in time, but overall the style is indeed properly weird in a good way :) |
| Aug 1 15:02:49 | 42m 10s | Icebroken | ♥ 3 | Nice idea and lovely visual style! Are the crew members any use btw? I managed to kill 7/8 and got quite far (about 80%) as it was a lot easier to keep one dude alive without spending to much energy... |
| Aug 1 20:21:20 | 5h 18m | Last Train Out | ♥ 3 | Nice work all around. Would have been nice to have some other stuff to do then just turning cranks, but I guess that the nature of LD and short deadlines :) |
| Aug 2 12:22:52 | 16h 01m | Scrap Metal | ♥ 2 | Love the the robot swarm! Super minor nitpick: labeling the upgrade buttons with the numbers 1-4 would make mouse/keyboard play a little more intuitive :) |
| Aug 2 14:08:06 | 1h 45m | Pro Cycling Simulator 91 | ♥ 1 | Can you actually finish first or is reaching the finish line without running out of energy your only goal? Great menu art btw :) |
| Aug 2 19:03:40 | 4h 55m | SpaceY | ♥ 0 | With a tier 1 reactor you generate your own power, but with the tier 2 upgrade this seems to stop. Is this a bug or am I missing some vital information? Because it seems impossible to stay alive after this upgrade. |
| Aug 2 19:22:09 | 18m 29s | Silicon Boulevard - A RoboNoire | ♥ 3 | As the others stated there are some (mostly visual) bugs, but when you get past them there's a nice adventure underneath. Props for going the story based route, that's hard to pull of in a jam. |
| Aug 2 19:37:06 | 14m 57s | Powerless Miner | ♥ 1 | Great twist in allowing the player to continue after running out of power! Also quite a lot of content for a compo game, well done overall. |
| Aug 2 20:24:04 | 46m 58s | ErixStein 3D | ♥ 1 | Quite a unique and trippy (in a good way) combination of elements :) |
| Aug 3 12:30:07 | 16h 06m | Hamster Wheel Simulator | ♥ 2 | The art is definitely the high point here :) |
| Aug 3 12:53:20 | 23m 13s | This Is Not A Drill! | ♥ 1 | I would recommend adding some screenshots and a cover image, that should help to get more people to actually play your game. Usually games that don't have those tend to be mostly unfinished as well, so I ended up pleasantly surprised that was not the case here. However, others might just skip it because of that. |
| Aug 3 15:35:15 | 2h 41m | Fluffy's Charge | ♥ 1 | Great graphics and polish overall! I couldn't hear any music though, only some sound effects, even though other comments indicate that there should be some. So I abstained from voting in the audio category. |
| Aug 4 10:38:34 | 19h 03m | Crystals Of Power | ♥ 1 | Very complete package for a jam game, well done! |
| Aug 4 10:57:59 | 19m 25s | Blood Mechs: The Iron Eucharist | ♥ 1 | By far the best audio work of the games I've played so far! The rest of the game also works well to create a very strong entry, great work! |
| Aug 4 15:57:40 | 4h 59m | The Dictater | ♥ 2 | I had the same issue as @Ramou, but other than that a very funny and polished (if a little shallow gameplay-wise) take on the theme! |
| Aug 14 19:05:43 | 243h 08m | The 100% Official Liz McColgan's Running Power | ♥ 0 | A little on the short side, I would have liked a circumnavigate the globe option, but other than that, a nice interpretation of the theme... |
