Aug 2 04:41:42 Airship Climb ♥ 1 Very cool. Addictive little game. Tried to beat my score, but best I could do was 34 Haha
Aug 2 05:01:35 19m 53s The PowerField - LD39 Edition ♥ 1 I liked the challenge of this game. Overall feedback: Make the first part of the level a straight path so you can get a running start. I noticed sometimes I would get unlucky with getting a gap right in front of me at start. Make the countdown less, like half of what it is. Otherwise, no problems! I liked it a lot.
Aug 2 16:07:32 11h 05m Bright Plateau ♥ 1 This is a really fun game! A nice, relaxing puzzle game. Definitely recommend. I think I got stuck on lvl 8 or so.
Aug 3 05:50:58 13h 43m Power Tripping: Keeping It Cool ♥ 0 Was pretty fun. I tried like 5-6 times before I gave up. It just wasn't clear exactly why I was dying?
Aug 3 06:08:09 17m 11s Mission Critical ♥ 1 I found the game fun in it's breadth. There's a few useful suggestions I have that might overlap with other comments: -Booster power could definitely be tweaked a little. I think it just needs more power. -The randomness of the pad being at different spots on each play feels a little unfair. I'd suggest keeping all elements random except the pad. -Make it so there's a max velocity you can land with. If you land with more velocity than the max you lose. -Make it so the game keeps going until your power runs out. Add power-ups so you can rejuvinate your power that float in the air in between lands. This way, you have a reason to go into the air, then have the challenge of gravitating back down for another landing.
Aug 4 05:31:18 23h 23m PoweRL ♥ 1 The game is fun. Cool that you made a health attribute as well as power! I did seem to run into a bug though? It looked like sometimes the critters would "skip" a few squares. Not sure why, but it seemed to happen at level start after spawning next to an enemy. Much respect. Not easy to make a turn-based game like this!
Aug 4 05:44:34 13m 16s A Thirst For Power ♥ 1 Great game! I was really getting into it. My heart was pumping on that second boss. Very satisfying bullet hell you have here. Problem is, the game crashed right when I entered the door for the third boss? It was in the hall after beating the second. My platform is Mac if that helps.
Aug 4 05:51:55 7m 21s Pickup all the power! ♥ 1 Great music, great puzzle feel. Reminded me of the old school pipedream game on dos. Once I got to the level that pans out and has all sorts of chambers, I was seemingly unable to do anything though! I was so disappointed as I wanted to beat that level. Great work though, still.
Aug 5 00:47:12 18h 55m Lights Out ♥ 0 Lasted 139 seconds before suffocating in the dark! Nice work on this. Definitely had me on the edge my my seat. Positives: Particle Pickup FX! Nice sound, and music. Actually the music reminded me of syndicate from back in the day. Smooth controls! Negatives: The camera I felt should allow more view of what's below, so when you collect on a high platform, you can see where to go next Perhaps the challenge scaling should be a little more forgiving. It seems like the the spawns just end up less frequent. Maybe instead make them just as frequent, but they are on screen for less time? One other suggestion: I felt like the little guy was a little too happy for someone about to die in a dark spaceship. Maybe put a nervous face on him instead XD. O.o or make his face change to nervous/unhappy when low on power? I guess either way you'd be scared in that situation.
Aug 6 16:06:00 39h 18m DRAIN ♥ 1 Sweet game! I loved slashing those jerks! My only complaint was not having a side-step movement with A/D.
Aug 17 17:43:53 265h 37m Night Watch ♥ 1 Very cool game. I especially liked the graphics. Definitely want to come back and beat this one.
