| Aug 1 23:32:54 | CowPow! | ♥ 1 | Cute concept and fantastic first LD entry! I kept dropping the cows right before reaching the "energy bin." I think making the beam range a smidgen longer or possible stronger would make it easier. Or lowering the bin. :) Or making the current setting the "hard mode" setting and creating an "easy mode" for more relaxed play. Great job getting single player and multiplayer modes working! I found both enjoyable. Overall very cute and funny game. I loved the little carefree cows hopping around the field! | |
| Aug 2 15:56:10 | 16h 23m | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 1 | I really like the artwork, especially the falling rainbow cow. Just like most people, I found the game play a tad confusing. Reading other comments, I think it may be because I was in the web version and did not notice the asteroid mines until much later. The description helped, I was just never able to get enough materials to build a shield in time. I also was unable to collect the stars and cows, not sure if this was intentional. This is a really great concept and I think making the ships and asteroids cause less damage would help. As soon as I felt like I had enough materials and mines, I would be destroyed. Lastly, please make a "back" button on the upgrade menu. I know it was the esc button, but sooooo many times I accidentally reset my game by clicking menu. :\ |
| Aug 2 16:12:15 | 16m 05s | Defend Home: Mars | ♥ 2 | Great job! Impressive for your first FPS and Compo! I liked the graphics and textures. The music was appropriately intense. The goal was clear and mechanics were responsive. UI was clean, and gameplay was fun! Fantastic! |
| Aug 2 16:51:05 | 38m 50s | Low Battery | ♥ 3 | Very nice game! I was able to save her! I liked the duel timer mechanic (sun and battery). Would have enjoyed more levels. Maybe make a post jam version with more areas to explore, multiple batteries, and new goals. The music was awesome and really set the tone. I have some nit-picky critiques, but overall I love the game. The bright red and pink of the characters looked to bright compared to the rest of the game, maybe make the color slightly more muted to fit the feel. Once the dialog went outside the text box. It was also possible to trap the zombie/monsters behind the table and just have a staring contest. I was also able to rest even though I had the battery in my inventory. Having the dialog say something like "this is no time to rest, I must get the battery installed." (Unless for a post jam version it is beneficial to ONLY change batteries as they are just about to run out) |
| Aug 2 17:03:20 | 12m 15s | Meltdown | ♥ 1 | Very intense. Rare to see voice acting in a LD, and I appreciated the effort. I felt the trigger boxes for the buttons could have been a tad larger, occasionally I had to waste time readjusting in front of a button I thought I should have been able to push. I do like the spotlights on the active buttons, it made it easy to see which way to go. And I agree the intro should have been skippable. Overall cool game! |
| Aug 2 17:48:25 | 45m 05s | The Shutdown | ♥ 3 | I couldn't get too deep into the story, but the start of it seemed interesting. I did want to learn more about this evolos currency. I can't really rate the gameplay visuals, audio, or mechanics as these appear to be default RPG Maker, but I did like your map layouts, items, and special attacks. |
| Aug 2 18:17:36 | 29m 11s | Rats will kiss the gunner's daughter | ♥ 2 | Loved this game! I narrowed it down to 50/50 and just had to pick. It said I chose poorly, but I wish it displayed the correct mutineer (really one of my only complaints). The game play is interesting and I adore your twist on the theme. I will be playing this multiple times. I agree with some of the other comments that a "kill" option would be great if you already figured it out, but still being sure is good before murdering. :) I also would have likes to choose my question each day to change up the order. On the first day, I asked one of the more important questions. However, since I did not yet know my crew, I sometimes did not get answers (either they did not answer when asked politely or were offended by bribes). The first day I would have liked the option to ask something less crucial, like about who their friends were, while learning the best interrogation technique. Great art style and music! |
| Aug 2 18:44:04 | 26m 28s | Unburdened | ♥ 0 | I liked the concept, but this game really needed checkpoints (maybe post jam version). I liked that I was able to make it through the dark sections for a while with my glasses. The "can't walk on ice" thing weirdly made sense to me for the pants. I personally did like the mystery of what removing items did and enjoyed trying it out. Again, it was just heart breaking to have to start at the beginning again just because you removed the incorrect item. Art and music was nice. I liked that the little dude could rock undies and shades. :D |
| Aug 7 18:10:15 | 119h 26m | The Music Box | ♥ 3 | Lovely graphics and music! Loved all the character art. Great job! |
| Aug 7 18:17:45 | 7m 30s | A Mr Mom Quest | ♥ 1 | Cute graphics and sounds. I liked how what you were holding changed based on the task at hand. I also appreciated the humor and realism. :D Apparently my family thinks I'm a bum because my bed is messy. Great concept and twist on the theme. |
| Aug 7 18:28:08 | 10m 23s | Night of the Unholy | ♥ 1 | I like the cover art. I could have used more ammo to start. If you do develop this further, having more waves, verses a few scattered zombies would help with pacing (unless I just never reached the wave phase, my zombies kept getting caught on the walls). Great job overall. |
| Aug 10 15:36:28 | 69h 08m | Drone Supervisor | ♥ 1 | Amazing! Love the update with the undo. Great tutorial, I could play this all day! |
| Aug 10 16:24:00 | 47m 32s | Amber-graph | ♥ 1 | Neat little puzzle game. I agree that the electron should have been more distinctive, but once I found it, I enjoyed figuring out the algorithm. Also not sure how the time limit ultimately effected game play except to maybe prevent me from calculating all outcomes. Sometimes, I was only one spot away from the goal! Were all the numbers random or was there an underlying algorithm? |
| Aug 10 16:33:49 | 9m 49s | Run to Dragsil | ♥ 1 | Cute graphics! Little tricky to figure out which obstacles are the "right ones." I like the concept of switching worlds though. |
| Aug 10 16:51:10 | 17m 21s | The Will to Live (a game about willpower) | ♥ 0 | The story was great! The random events kept things interesting. I was never rescued, but Wilson and I made it pretty far! |
| Aug 10 16:57:01 | 5m 51s | Zombie Power Station | ♥ 1 | Great graphics! I liked the "shooting" and "reload" sound effects, but I would have liked a variety of zombie noises. Overall good game with a funny story. |
| Aug 10 17:04:10 | 7m 09s | Turn the Lights Off! | ♥ 0 | Haha, I'm surprised I did not die as a red-shirted crew man! Funny concept, good graphics, and fun game play. Congrats for building your own engine! I did not get any sound though. |
| Aug 10 17:12:15 | 8m 05s | Space Dog | ♥ 0 | Fantastic job! So polished! The graphics, sound, and game play is great! I never knew being a space dog was soooo stressful! |
| Aug 10 17:28:03 | 15m 48s | Running Out Of Power Plant | ♥ 0 | Love the name pun! Very frustratingly fun! The "lament" feature was the best. I FINALLY got the geezer out of the plant. :D Good graphics and fun game! Wished you'd had time to do an ending clip, though I did weirdly enjoy all the falling exit signs. |
| Aug 10 17:32:53 | 4m 50s | Crazy-Power-Rush | ♥ 0 | Great job! If you take it farther you should add some pickups/power-ups. |
| Aug 10 17:40:37 | 7m 44s | Power Outage | ♥ 1 | Nice effort, I think the flashlight needed a longer charge. I felt I could not make it very far even when using the "dim" setting. Good idea and start, just needs a bit more polish. I personally thought the mice were adorable! |
| Aug 10 17:49:12 | 8m 35s | this must be the place | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept and visuals. I did not quite "get" it as a game, but as an art piece it is fascinating. The mood was great. |
| Aug 10 18:15:25 | 26m 13s | Five Stages | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept. I must say that first disappearing staircase really got me feeling the "anger" vibe of the room. It's been said before, but I wish the timer stopped when reading the narrative. I felt the grey "depression" area was really short despite me not rushing through it. Good game, even if it is a bit hard for my poor platformer ability. |
| Aug 10 18:34:15 | 18m 50s | Solar defense | ♥ 1 | It took me a few tries to figure it out, but once I did, I really enjoyed your game. It was a nice twist on a tower defense game. Audio and graphics were basic, but got the job done. Very fun, I will play it again and try and last longer! |
| Aug 15 15:02:07 | 116h 27m | Running out of Pow E.R. | ♥ 1 | The camera and music really set the mood! I also like the pun with the theme. :) |
| Aug 15 15:54:47 | 52m 40s | Just Another Week | ♥ 2 | Lots of fun mini games! The first day I did pretty terrible on all of them, but by the weekend I had earned "three yachts and a spider." I think a tutorial on the mini games would have made this a lot better. Cute graphics though! |
| Aug 15 16:02:35 | 7m 48s | Powerless: Trump Teaches Typing | ♥ 1 | Very addictive! I may actually get better at typing Benghazi and covfefe. So funny and awesome. |
| Aug 15 16:08:36 | 6m 01s | Asteroids | ♥ 1 | Neat. I wish the fuel things could not be destroyed, I usually was unlucky enough to have the packs hidden by a massive clump of rocks. |
