Jul 31 04:15:55 Will Power ♥ 1 I beat it! I liked the resource management, having to keep the sleep meter up. I found myself sleeping to full at each resting point, but just barely. Ran all the way out once and was pretty scared. I think you could benefit from putting a screenshot (instead of the lamp with text) as your "promotional" image that gets shown to everybody.
Jul 31 04:35:48 19m 53s They Attack At Night ♥ 2 Sweet game! I really loved the atmosphere and setting. I've always liked the "small cityscape" feel, and the 80's neon glow thing was cool too. The combat was enjoyable enough, although it didn't feel really challenging since they all came in a straight line. But the sfx and animations were good enough it didn't really matter. I didn't really understand the resource management. I took that first blue box in the beginning and by wave 4 i still hadn't seen anything else so I ventured to where the pink guys were spawning and saw another box which I ran to and then fell into some ditch and then by the time I got back my base was destroyed. So I was a bit confused there. Good work!
Jul 31 04:48:37 12m 49s Toast Up! ♥ 2 Hey sweet game! This is like already production quality, I was really impressed. Art - Really loved it. The colors all fit together well, and nothing seemed out of place. The weakest part may have been the enemies, which seemed a little too simple compared to how great the rest looked. But it was still consistent. Gameplay - Mostly standard jumping type game, but I did like that if you waited to shoot and hit something you might propel yourself downwards. I was really quite confused by the coin system though. It seemed like I would often get coins following me and then if I shot something to keep going they would disappear? I did a full run towards the end where I got really high and got 0 coins, which was frustrating so I stopped playing. I bet you'll rank quite high in the compo! Good luck!
Jul 31 15:32:07 10h 43m Running out of Human ♥ 0 I honestly couldn't tell if I was the computer or human (until the options which only a machine would say), which was actually kinda cool. The ending was crazy. It was so peaceful until then. I liked it. The graphics were quite good too I thought. I think you should include controls on this page. I couldn't figure it out for a bit.
Jul 31 15:40:09 8m 02s Overcharged ♥ 2 Awesome game! :) My favorite that I've played so far. The art was really good, especially the special effects. I loved the small touches that your eyes turning red when you started killing people. I did the good ending first, and would have liked to see how many people were left alive from what I started with. May have made me play again to try and beat that. Then I did the bad ending which was lot's of fun. I had to do it after I saw at the end that it was an option. Really awesome work!
Jul 31 15:56:19 16m 10s Blazing Races! ♥ 0 Controls didn't work for me, with controller nor with keyboard.
Jul 31 15:58:18 1m 59s HELL TRAIN in RETURN TO PLANET MONSTER ♥ 1 Hey I don't see anything at the flash link.
Jul 31 16:10:46 12m 28s A Growing City ♥ 1 Hey cool game! I really liked seeing the town sprout up around my power plants. I never liked having to create residential areas in games like SimCity so I was glad it happened automatically. I eventually stopped playing because the power sources were needing to be repaired every second, sometimes multiple per second, so it got a little tedious. Maybe it was how I placed them? Good work!
Jul 31 16:31:34 20m 48s Peak Oil ♥ 1 Hi, cool game! I thought everything was pretty self-explanatory which was great, was able to jump in right away. Eventually I realized that even though the smaller countries/continents didn't have high demand, I could still build an oil well and lower the production so then I felt like I was being much more efficient. I don't know that I liked that some areas could be run dry (except the slight jab at the fossil fuel industry). Because then I felt like there was all this demand I couldn't fulfill. The graphics were really on point! The icons felt top-notch.
Jul 31 16:36:19 4m 45s Defend Home: Mars ♥ 2 Hey man, cool game, congrats on your first FPS! I wish I had explored a new genre like that, I bet it feels great to have finished it. The gun model and enemy model were amazing for doing in a weekend, good work on that. I had a lot of trouble defending both outposts at the same time so I gave up pretty quickly.
Jul 31 19:44:03 3h 07m Cyclades Travelling Sailor ♥ 1 Cool game! It's like doing a pathfinding algorithm by hand. I liked the graphics quite a bit, but I think the yellow orbs could have had more to them. The boat was great looking. I got every level on the first try except 3 and 6 which both gave me lots of trouble and were really enjoyable because of it.
Jul 31 19:51:28 7m 25s Lifeforce Deathrun ♥ 1 Hey sweet game! The graphics are some of the best I've seen so far! I really like the added touch on the title screen of the letters animating. Might steal that for a future game :) So, the highest run I got was 19 and then never came even close to that after. Really hard game for my brain to process! At first I thought it would be too simple and boring, but it's surprisingly challenging. Really enjoyed it.
Jul 31 19:55:51 4m 23s Rocket Barrel ♥ 1 Hey, cool game man. I got to 459 before I missed one :) (on the third try). It feels good once you get a hang of it. I think some variety in speed and size of barrels would be a nice improvement. Also the planets were pretty cool!
Aug 1 03:27:30 7h 31m Who Wants to be Alive? ♥ 1 Hey cool game. I liked that you could type on the monitors, I've never seen that interaction before in a game. The atmosphere was also quite good, kinda portal-ish. And learning new things is always nice! Is the whole game timed? I couldn't tell if the power went down when I used the phone or if it ticked by all the time. I spent the first minute of the game looking around so if the latter, that screwed it up for me.
Aug 1 03:35:18 7m 48s Power or die ♥ 1 Sweet game! I was unfortunately really terrible and killed everybody twice. This seems like a really tough genre to make for a jam! Since there's so many things that you have to explain to a player. But the text was written well (too bad there's no writing/story category) and I liked the background music too.
Aug 1 03:40:16 4m 58s Artifact Dive ♥ 1 Not bad for programmer art! I learned at some point that I could just walk past the enemies and not shoot them but then was punished by their jump attacks, quite surprising! My #1 gripe is with how loud the sound effects were. That's why I didn't want to shoot anymore. My rule of thumb is always make sure that they are slightly less quiet than the music (although that doesn't always apply).
Aug 1 03:47:44 7m 28s Necromancy ♥ 2 A fellow wizard game! :) I thought it was really hard! I got items a few times but died before reaching them every single time. The SFX could have been quieter I thought, they were quite jarring.
Aug 1 03:53:36 5m 52s Assault//Battery ♥ 1 Loved it! It felt like a mix of Rampage and SUPERHOT. Once you got ahold of the mechanic it was quite fluid. I liked the graphics a lot even if they were simple, they were really clean. I don't have anything I disliked, well done!
Aug 1 04:08:31 14m 55s Generator #4875 ♥ 1 Hey cool game! The graphics are fantastic. I also really liked the concept, felt like very dystopian. Like this whole guy's job is to do something that a hamster could do. I noticed that after you get the wheel spinning, you can press both z and x at the same time, which kinda defeated the purpose IMO. In general it was hard for me to get the wheel going.
Aug 1 04:16:59 8m 28s Stoked ♥ 1 Sweet game! Very unique. I liked that there were rocks thrown in that you could choose to avoid or use to fill in the load to send down. I didn't get the breaking the big rocks with the hammer for awhile so i had a ton, but eventually read the instructions. Maybe auto-showing them would be nice. Graphics were quite nice as well.
Aug 1 04:22:49 5m 50s Powerless Miner ♥ 1 Man that level with the two gold and three batteries and bat was impossible. I couldn't get past it no matter what I tried. Cool game though! Very unique.
Aug 1 04:27:45 4m 56s Notpong ♥ 1 Welp, that was interesting. I'm not sure what I was doing, but it was pretty intense. I beat the first round! Unfortunately i don't think you can use those assets you used in the compo.
Aug 1 04:28:26 41s Plugged In ♥ 0 Your link is broken.
Aug 1 04:39:28 11m 02s Stranded In Space ♥ 1 Cool game dude! How many resources did you need to launch? I messed up my setup at the last second by building the 2nd building in the last spot which totally shot my energy production, so I ended up with 8k of the first two resources and a stagnant 4k in my energy. I could have waited longer for something to die but I didn't have the patience. I liked how everything balanced out and how you could get a feel for it. And the meteors were a nice touch. I'm not sure if placing the turrets strategically mattered but that would be pretty cool. Good work. Oh and the models were great! Surprised you knocked those out in a weekend!
Aug 1 15:01:23 10h 21m Oh no! Democracy! ♥ 1 Man I was so close! I had one point left in Propulsion and then the damn democracy ran me over. Very cool game. Felt like a mobile game I played that was set in the middle ages. I liked the concept of the collectible/special cards, wish I would have gotten more of them!
Aug 3 03:57:37 36h 56m PoweRL ♥ 2 I can't play it since I have windows but I wanted to say I thought the vector art looked quite nice! I think what could improve them a lot is not using gradients as heavily as you do, and instead just try using complimentary colors more, like go to one of those color scheme websites and try that.
Aug 3 04:00:44 3m 07s Losing Power ♥ 1 Hey nice game, congrats on finishing! I liked the small touch at the end of the level where the screen turns green to show you finished. Also, the level with the platform that raised really high was cool because I'm sure some people would be impatient and try jumping to the right and die, so it rewards patience.
Aug 3 04:12:01 11m 17s Game of Cows ♥ 1 Hey awesome game! I thought the mechanic of being able to explore the area a little bit each day was really awesome. Having more things in the world to "harvest" your way to would be really cool I think. The graphics were fitting and the sounds worked well with everything else. The point I stopped at, I still hadn't seen any stone or metal/iron so I was waiting on that but it didn't seem like I'd be getting any any time soon so I stopped, but it was a nice experience.
Aug 3 04:18:30 6m 29s The World's Worst Segway ♥ 0 Hey cool game, grats on finishing! It reminded me a lot of crazy taxi, having to zip around and get to where you're going on time. The truck was a nice touch, and I definitely died to it once. Plus I really liked your description haha
Aug 3 15:34:28 11h 15m STRATOS-RZ1 ♥ 0 Hey nice game, congrats on finishing! I like the ship model, was it done in Asset Forge? The overall aesthetic was cool, almost a tron vibe to it. I didn't figure out that the red hurt you until level 3 haha, but then I was rolling and going pretty fast. Only ended up with 3 points because I was favoring green but felt like I got far.
Aug 3 15:44:34 10m 06s Goyom ♥ 0 Hey nice game! I liked the concept of having to plan out your moves based on how much energy each blob gave you. I eventually figured out what the approximate amount was for each, but it was still hard for me to be strategic about it. Maybe I'm just not cut out for games like this :)
Aug 22 15:31:30 455h 46m Intercontinental Birdsman Competition 2018 ♥ 0 Hey man, cool game. The graphics didn't look great in the screenshot but in-game it all meshed together really well. The sound effects were pretty good too, it didn't get annoying over time.
Aug 22 15:34:29 2m 59s Power Running? You'd Better Go Catch It! ♥ 0 I won! Was a cool little game. I liked the mechanic of just having to avoid their line of sight and touching killing them. It could easily be themed around an assassin.
Aug 22 15:37:32 3m 03s RobotiLab ♥ 0 I thought the graphics and mood were pretty good! Like inside some robotic ship or something. The game did lag a bit for me, and then I got stuck at the bottom of the tunnel near the electricity and couldn't figure out how to move up.
