| Dec 4 13:44:02 | Stacks | ♥ 1 | This is just pressing a button to get a wad of cash until you cannot press the button. Wish there was a counter for how many stacks of cash you get. | |
| Dec 4 13:47:30 | 3m 28s | Aurora | ♥ 1 | I really liked the minimalist visuals as well as the soothing audio. It makes quite a calming twin-stick shooter. |
| Dec 4 13:59:44 | 12m 14s | Fox Flares | ♥ 2 | This is a very nice 2D pixel art platformer, the fox looks very adorable and the environments look really nice. I think the flame mechanic is really clever, as it allows you to choose quickly as to how you should reach the next checkpoint. However, I feel the game is a bit too punishing, once you miss a platform there is no chance to try again so you end up wasting time to try again. I think if the platforms reappeared after a few seconds, this wouldn't be much of an issue. |
| Dec 4 19:22:14 | 5h 22m | Fluffy Space Escape | ♥ 1 | Great job on developing an NES game in two days! It functions really well, I like the transitions between levels and the simple gameplay concept. I couldn't get far though, the second level took many attempts to finish. |
| Dec 4 19:46:59 | 24m 45s | The lost strawberry | ♥ 1 | A really fun and clever shooter, I liked the colour palette chosen as well as the idea of splotches of goo on the screen obscuring details of the level. I only had trouble on the first level because all I was told was to jump but there wasn't any clear hint that there was a rope over the spike pit. Once I got past that most of it was a breeze. Great work! |
| Dec 4 19:54:41 | 7m 42s | Curse of Greed | ♥ 0 | Really fun and challenging platformer, it's nice to see a game that turns a general collectable item into a hazard itself. Would be nice if there was some music but it's understandable if there wasn't any time considering the 48-hour limit. Great work nonetheless! |
| Dec 4 19:57:43 | 3m 02s | Too Many Chooks | ♥ 1 | Reminds me of Kaboom, except with annoying chickens. |
| Dec 4 20:53:58 | 56m 15s | Micro Trooper | ♥ 1 | Very solid and well-polished platform shooter. I can definitely see where the inspirations of both Super Crate Box and Downwell are found. It would be nice if you could jump through some platforms but that's where part of the difficulty lies. |
| Dec 4 21:08:26 | 14m 28s | you are the coin master | ♥ 1 | I love it! If HaxeFlixel made manipulating pixels much easier this would be the kind of thing I would have done this too. I will say that jumping is frustrating, it felt delay and too small so it was hard to tell when to jump over spikes and gaps. I'm used to using a key separate from the directional keys for jumping so moving while jumping is more comfortable for me. |
| Dec 4 21:15:11 | 6m 45s | Health Hazard | ♥ 1 | So glad to see a minimalist block with squash and stretch, if you had the block lean when moving side to side it would be perfect. It was simple and challenging, and the physics of the balls added to the randomness of it all. Great work! |
| Dec 4 21:32:47 | 17m 36s | Snake+ | ♥ 1 | Nice attempt to evolve on the classic Snake formula, although mirror is really difficulty. |
| Dec 4 21:55:06 | 22m 19s | The More You Make | ♥ 0 | This is impressive work, you crazy crazy person. Loads of particles flying everywhere, each game is super simple to play (although the controls aren't clear on some. Also high scores don't save on the web version. |
| Dec 4 22:14:41 | 19m 35s | Birds Birds Birds | ♥ 1 | Hilarious idea, poor guy in the car. Aiming felt a bit awkward, sometimes I couldn't the bird food I threw kept arching over the bird. |
| Dec 4 23:19:07 | 1h 04m | More Money More Problems | ♥ 1 | Neat idea, the safecracking portion works pretty well, forcing you to be careful while guards are on the prowl. I'm not sure what the disadvantage of carrying more money did though. Didn't feel like you were slowed down or made less stealthy when you had more. |
| Dec 5 13:47:56 | 14h 28m | Briiik | ♥ 1 | Neat concept, I would like to see more powerups of sort. The cyan (freeze) and purple (error) are effective but there is potential for more. |
| Dec 5 13:54:31 | 6m 35s | Slightly annoying traffic | ♥ 1 | A very fun concept, easy to explain and difficulty progression is nice and slow to ease yourself in. The vehicle and city design looks pretty good as well! |
| Dec 5 13:58:50 | 4m 19s | unipsychle | ♥ 2 | Getting QWOP flashbacks here... The physics work well and I like that you added procedural terrain to make it less predictable, as well as the ability to lengthen or shorten the seat. A minor gripe is that the bar between the seat and the wheel doesn't have any collision with the terrain, so it just clips through. |
| Dec 5 14:01:25 | 2m 35s | Pancakes! | ♥ 1 | It's a bit difficult to get the pancake to land on the plate, when the plate is falling in the opposite side of the pancake itself. |
| Dec 5 19:16:47 | 5h 15m | Boiler Room Defense | ♥ 2 | Permanence with damage on the bullets is a brilliant idea, especially for a twin-stick shooter. I especially like the dither patterns used. The aiming felt a little delayed if you move the mouse around while shooting, it won't shoot exactly where you clicked. |
| Dec 5 19:38:13 | 21m 26s | Phobos | ♥ 2 | Best I could get was 8. I like the idea although I wish those damn bird things weren't irritating. |
| Dec 5 19:46:12 | 7m 59s | Embol | ♥ 2 | Great work, brilliant way to represent social anxiety. Shame there isn't much, I would like to see this explored more! |
| Dec 5 21:21:44 | 1h 35m | Lux Portable | ♥ 0 | Love the smooth dynamic shadows, nice touch. Quite a challenging puzzle game of sorts. Great work. |
| Dec 5 21:36:07 | 14m 23s | Mortal Komba | ♥ 1 | This game is incredibly adorable with the colourful characters and the squeaky sound effects. Definitely a great job on the visual side of things. I didn't notice the count down at first because it blends in really easily with the bright characters, maybe an outline would make it stand out. It's a very minor issue for such a fun and great looking game. |
| Dec 6 13:51:05 | 16h 14m | Sofra | ♥ 1 | Very sweet and novel concept for a platformer. I liked the simple set up and levels, as well as the sketchy artstyle and music. Great work! |
| Dec 6 14:09:59 | 18m 54s | Fruitless | ♥ 1 | I liked the graphics, although killing enemies seem really difficult. I wasn't aware of any of the controls, let alone reloading, until after I played a few attempts. |
| Dec 7 13:49:45 | 23h 39m | GLORIOUS INTERNET POINTS | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun entry definitely liked the fake comments and businesses. Shame the audio is broken in the HTML5 version. I found the game to be incredibly easy, there doesn't appear to be much risk at all since it's easy to pay for medication whenever you get injured, although I say Play -> Russian Roulette to be a bit grim for an early stunt. |
| Dec 7 13:50:41 | 56s | HELIRESCUE MENS | ♥ 0 | Pretty fun game for something done in 2 hours, and particularly challenging too. |
| Dec 7 14:02:12 | 11m 31s | Ignorance is Bliss | ♥ 2 | The 3D wireframe visuals look incredible! Definitely love the cyberpunk vibe! |
| Dec 7 21:38:50 | 7h 36m | Pooch Parade | ♥ 1 | This is a really adorable take on Snake, with puppies following you. I was hoping the path of the main puppy who drops dog biscuits to be a bit more random, I wasn't sure if it running around the edge of the world for most of my playthrough was intentional. Loved the pixel art and the cute character designs as well! |
| Dec 7 22:38:34 | 59m 44s | Orbits | ♥ 1 | This is a brilliant and creative looking game! I tried out the original version. I love the planet's expression and the slow-motion. The GIF capturing is genius, although I wish it saved into your default pictures folder, or at least there was a way to go directly to the GIF's directory. I noticed the post-jam version took out the collision between planets, which is kind of a shame because I liked that random element in the game. |
| Dec 8 13:37:36 | 14h 59m | Protofusion | ♥ 0 | Nice take on Breakout! The pixel art looks great and I like the burst mechanic. |
| Dec 8 13:42:32 | 4m 56s | The Tulpa | ♥ 1 | This game is kind of trippy, particularly with the wave effects. |
| Dec 8 14:05:20 | 22m 48s | Those Who Wander | ♥ 1 | I love the 80s aesthetic vibe, both the music and the visuals, even with the added grainy visual effects. The puzzles are also pretty clever, although moving the blocks can get awkward depending on the camera angle, maybe having it moved based on dragging the mouse's x or y coordinate would work. Also, I think there needs to be a separate input between moving your statue and moving the camera. |
| Dec 11 22:06:37 | 80h 01m | Herd of Bunnies | ♥ 1 | Fun idea, I like that you keep your art simple, recognisable and consistent with your work. Would be nice if there was an alternate way to earn money instead of killing bunnies but that's a part of management I guess. Good work! |
| Dec 12 13:48:21 | 15h 41m | Cardhoard | ♥ 1 | A really fun idea, controls can get used to although I still would have prefered a directional key + ZXC control scheme or gamepad controls. I like the pixel art and the polish on the animations. |
| Dec 12 13:52:56 | 4m 35s | Space Dungeon | ♥ 1 | I like the game's visuals as well as the straightforward controls, but the acceleration is way off. The player accelerates violently and takes too long to slow down, the bullets start with zero velocity when they really should start at full speed. It makes moving and shooting really difficult. |
| Dec 12 13:56:35 | 3m 39s | SUPER COP HERO | ♥ 0 | Brilliant pixel art! Love the concept art. One hit kills make the game on normal difficulty really difficult. |
| Dec 12 19:41:25 | 5h 44m | Shear Panic | ♥ 1 | Fun idea, shame it doesn't support Firefox (I was able to play it on Microsoft Edge). It's pretty challenging to manage the sheep. Good cel-shaded models, nice bouncing sounds and pushing the dragon away everynow and then was kind of funny. |
| Dec 12 20:40:19 | 58m 54s | Asteroid breaker | ♥ 2 | Good music selection, the physics were very strong. Really good asteroids vibe to it. |
| Dec 12 20:50:54 | 10m 35s | Xmas: Sorted | ♥ 1 | This reminds me of the Game & Watch game Fire. I liked the addition of bouncing high or low and setting the angle. |
| Dec 13 13:55:19 | 17h 04m | Squirrel Puncher 4000! | ♥ 0 | Simple but a good concept. Definitely liked the music. It would be nice if there was a more effective visual warning to dodge instead of glowing orbs but good job. |
| Dec 17 14:44:34 | 96h 49m | The Terry Pebble Show - An Awful Day Time TV Simulator | ♥ 1 | Another well written game from you! Really funny even though I'm terrible at it. |
| Dec 24 23:11:08 | 176h 26m | Sugarplum Summit | ♥ 1 | I love a good scrolling shooter, especially a Christmas themed one! This was fun! |
| Dec 28 19:19:03 | 92h 07m | Danger Dolly | ♥ 1 | Pretty clever idea for a physics game, controls seem straightforward, would be nice if there was a way to speed up the conveyor belt so you could get the item you want quicker. Still a good job gameplay wise! |
