| Dec 4 17:46:05 | what-doesn't kill you gets stronger | ♥ 1 | It's a fun idea for a little game. Love the simplicity! :) Seems very easy at first but difficulty increases in a nice ratio. I like the fact that it's a 3D game but you controll your spear with the mouse, basically moving in 2D in every way. It still looks a little dull, so maybe add some stuff to the environment to make it pretty, but the music is absolutly awesome and fits the visual theme perfectly. Two (maybe?) bugs I found: 1. I glitched out of the map when I got pushed out by mice 2. The numbers for energy and multiplyer sometimes get wierd values, like .111111111111. And I have to say this again: LOVE the music! :D | |
| Dec 4 18:15:44 | 29m 39s | Jump Squad | ♥ 0 | I agree with @mrnyarlathotep, its difficult to estimate distances. That makes it especially difficult in the beginning and it gets a little frustrating. The camera movement takes a little getting used to, because its really quick, but one gets used to it. After that, its really pretty fun and challenging! I also love the fact that its not just about agility and control but also about a little bit of tactic. Choosing a leader and choosing the number of characters you take with you can be very helpful. And the ending made me chuckle :D I would like to see the game with some background, some music and as many levels and challenges as possible. Maybe movable objects that can kick you off or something. Its a really great idea for a game and from this point, it can basically grow in any direction! Loved it! One more thing. While I did enjoy the game, it did seem to have a little graphics bug. I played the web version of the game on firefox and the floor was more or less invisible. The top sides of the squares the floors are made of hade an invisible top side. So basically I had to hold the camera at an angle, to even see the floors. Looking from above, they were allmost completly invisible. Running on Windows 10, Firefox. |
| Dec 4 18:22:10 | 6m 26s | Problems? | ♥ 1 | Fun game, nice way to implement the theme. Its really challenging, especially when I am moving peaces that almost explode and another one spawns infront of it. Also love that they are not just blocks but accual tasks. Great Job! :) I do think some backgroundmusic would be nice though :) |
| Dec 4 18:43:00 | 20m 50s | ParanoWeed | ♥ 0 | Fun nice artstyle. Love the colours and especially the sounds! Would like a little more content though and I dont know how this fits the theme. Maybe "the more you have, the worse it gets" is directed towards the weed, because the level changes after that and gets more difficult, but I would love to see a little more :) |
| Dec 5 00:40:18 | 5h 57m | Gina's Bed & Breakfast | ♥ 1 | A very creative approach on the theme! The dialog was funny and I liked the text effects in it. Although the game aimed to make me think about my diet, it kind of made me crave burgers now :D |
| Dec 5 00:53:03 | 12m 45s | Do You Mind If My Buddy Joins the Band? | ♥ 1 | Nice game, love the music! The idea to assign a name to every letter is cool. It was a little easy though. The bar basically always turned green ad the end so it was kind of easy to time the click. Its a very creative take on the theme. I would love to play a larger version of this, where the switches between the players gets quicker with every 'level' and you have to type out their name completly or something. Making it more challenging. |
| Dec 5 00:59:05 | 6m 02s | Best Girl | ♥ 1 | This reminds me of the alien from 'mars attacks' that dressed up as a human woman xD The music is a little repetitive but its accually challenging to guess wich one is unique. The 'oh yeah' has a wierd feel to it, I didnt like that a lot. I do like the quality of the artstyle thoug. |
| Dec 5 01:09:31 | 10m 26s | Leaning Tower | ♥ 1 | Fun little game, very creative take on the theme. I had soemthing similar in mind the first time I heared it. Like the music aswell :) |
| Dec 5 01:16:09 | 6m 38s | Hotdogs Hunger and Hand Pain | ♥ 1 | 2017-12-05 02_14_19-Hotdogs Hunger and Hand Pain by seanw265.png That was fun! I absolutly loves the sounds and the voice! One of the best ones so far! H-O-T-D-O-G WHAT DOES THAT SPELL!?! HOTDOG! :D Awesome idea! |
| Dec 5 01:32:51 | 16m 42s | Fluffy Space Escape | ♥ 1 | 2017-12-05 02_31_13-Fluffy Space Escape (NES) _ cpprograms.png Very fun game! And the fact that you can accually play it on a console is amazing to me!! And I really bonded with my little sheep. I felt bad every time it didnt make it :D |
| Dec 5 01:42:54 | 10m 03s | Crapbag | ♥ 2 | Cool puzzle. I didnt get the dynamic of the monsters spawning in the directon one was walking to get the hearts. After that, it was fairly easy to clear the game. Has a nice retro feel to it. I would only maybe add some music. Other than that, just more levels to play :) |
| Dec 5 01:51:22 | 8m 28s | Greedy Merchants | ♥ 2 | 2017-12-05 02_48_15-Greedy Merchants by jlreymendez.png Very cool game! Took me a second to get how one turns into a white-flag ship and a pirate. Its really fun. Would accually love to play this at a lan-party. Calming, fun music and I absolutly love the 'ARRGH!' 😄 The graphics were nice aswell, especially the little horse on the flag. What can I say, I got to be a pirate. Loved it! |
| Dec 5 01:58:01 | 6m 39s | Too Many Chooks | ♥ 1 | Fun and challenging game. It really gets difficult. The little sizzle has a nice ring to it. I also love the fact that they keep laying eggs once the game is over. :D |
| Dec 5 12:25:29 | 10h 27m | Never Enough [SCREENSHAKE] | ♥ 1 | Its a lot of fun to play. Very fluent and nice art. However, the game glitches around when my shield breaks in a higher level and I get 5 levelups :D Love the artstyle :) |
| Dec 5 12:35:21 | 9m 52s | Overloaded | ♥ 1 | I was able to download and play it. Fun idea, although the controls are a little bit clumsy, even at the start of the game. I Like the graphics and the world, with the paint flying around it, looks cool. I definetly feld the controls get worse as the game progressed. Its really challenging! Nice job :) |
| Dec 5 12:47:56 | 12m 35s | Avalanched | ♥ 2 | I like the graphics and the style but it gets frustrating for the wrong reasons very quick. The idea is very nice, althouh I wouldnt really find anything that implemented the theme. Some sort of buffer between dying and respawning would be nice. Teleporting back to the beginning, without any feedback as to how you were hit is a little frustrating. I would make the level longer, add a buffer and have some sort of life system, so that one or two mistakes are allowed without having to do it all over again. One (maybe) bug I've found: It seemed to me like the numbers under the clouds indicate that they diasppear when touched. That worked for some and not for others. |
| Dec 5 14:28:12 | 1h 40m | Smack`Em! | ♥ 1 | Fun game with beautiful graphics. There is a reason this game is one of the base classics and the fact that it fits the theme perfectly, makes it even better! Sadly, I cant play it with my volume up right now, so I wont rate the audio yet. Since you made it with "your trusty guitar", as you mentioned, I will definetly come back to that!! As some already mentioned, the losing screen is too subtle. Maybe its indicated by sound that I cant hear by now. But still. I would keep the fact that all critters are up, but I would also add some "game over" and a final score or something. Cool! :) |
| Dec 5 14:41:12 | 13m 00s | Speed Date Shuffle | ♥ 1 | Wow, I never played a game like this!! This was really something new and a lot of fun! The graphics are amazing!! Clean style and a lot of detail. Even though I dont know how exactly the theme plays into it, the game itself is awesome! Everything just workes so clean and the fact that the menu is a smartphone is very clever! Having to wait for the date to stop talking makes it accually feel like a date a bit :D The cardgame is a nice game by itself but the timing to avoid interrupting adds to it perfectly. Loved it! |
| Dec 5 14:57:00 | 15m 48s | Perigee | ♥ 1 | My bunny populatio is ever growing so you could say I single handedly saved the world. You are welcome!! Nice game, clever Idea, cool graphics, fit the theme, funny story. It has everything! Loved it! |
| Dec 5 15:03:33 | 6m 33s | Making it Hail | ♥ 1 | I like the 2D play with a 3D artstyle, but as already mentioned by others, it needs to be zooed out more. Maybe speed up the movement aswell, the controls could be a little cleaner. The octopus with the mustache is a big plus! :D Also, adding some brighter background would greatly improve the ambience of the game I think :) |
| Dec 5 15:12:08 | 8m 35s | Fish Catchers | ♥ 1 | Fun little game. I like how the boat accually gets smaller. Looks really cool! The controls are a little sluggish. Changing between moving and attacking as some sort of timer. Afer I moved, I have to wait to attack. That makes a little frustrating to play. Other than that, its fun :) |
| Dec 5 15:15:49 | 3m 41s | Mortal Komba | ♥ 1 | I think the artstyle is the best ive seen so far. The theme is implemented perfectly. Its smooth, its challenging, it looks gorgeous, its different. Absolutely loved it! |
| Dec 6 15:06:04 | 23h 50m | Petrucio, the gem stealer | ♥ 4 | Fun little game. Like the graphics and the misuc. All works very smoothly. Well done! :) |
| Dec 7 01:55:05 | 10h 49m | Bulls & Tomatoes | ♥ 1 | Its a fun game but for some reason the audience stopped throwing tomatoes after a while. All I had to do from there was to press W and I could have gone on indefinetly. I stopped after a while: 2017-12-07 02_52_04-BullsandTomatoes.png I really like how well everything comes together. The tomatoes color the player red, wich is said to agetate bulls. The music has a spanish vibe to it, although its very repetitive. Cool game though :) |
| Dec 7 02:01:02 | 5m 57s | The Adventures of Marty Graw | ♥ 1 | A creative spin on those runner games with the chests on the side. Liked the artwork. Good job! :) |
| Dec 11 00:24:28 | 94h 23m | FriendSpace | ♥ 2 | Awesome game! I had raelly fun playing it! Even made it on the scoreboard I think |
| Dec 14 00:15:56 | 71h 51m | Sorted | ♥ 0 | Its not a bad concept but it gets repetitive really quick. You need to find another way to make it more challenging, other than it simply getting quicker. Or at least add some sort of flashy effects. Exploding boxes or maybe a box that sticks to the others so that you can pick up multiple boxes of one color. Or a pickup or something where everything slows down. The way it is now, losing feels like its bout to happen at about the same point for everybody. Hope I could give some constructive feedback. The concept is fun and definetly a good Idea for a first entry. Keep it up :) |
| Dec 14 00:30:25 | 14m 29s | Critter Sitter | ♥ 1 | Fun game!! Although its a little dificult to remember which monster does what. But I guess thats part of the difficulty of the game ^^ |
| Dec 14 00:35:41 | 5m 16s | Boomstick Leaper | ♥ 1 | Fun game and really challenging. Flyinr around like that makes it really diffucult to hit anything and avoid spiders at the same time. |
| Dec 14 18:08:19 | 17h 32m | Prinsen Gulden | ♥ 1 | Fun game! Love the switch of the surroundings but the controls must be polished a little more. I also really liked that taking hearts adds armor and the general 2d on 3d style Good job :) |
| Dec 14 18:28:21 | 20m 02s | Space Dungeon | ♥ 1 | Like the concept but the controls are really difficult to manage. Its all way too quick and there are way too many bullets from the getgo. So the game itself is good, fun and challenging but it needs to be polished a little bit to make it more enjoyable. I beat it at the 4th try btw ^^ |
| Dec 14 19:44:16 | 1h 15m | Technologis | ♥ 1 | Very fun game! Nicely polished, beautiful graphics, cool music that sets the mood for moving fast. Really nicely thought trough. loved it! |
