| Dec 4 21:46:03 | 72CoCSD | ♥ 1 | Woah it's me! I'm famous! | |
| Dec 5 20:47:30 | 23h 01m | placeHolder | ♥ 1 | Love the idea. It was fun and hilarious to play. It is quite difficult, and the foreground was confusing sometimes, but other than that it was very enjoyable! Very nice, especially for your first entry! Looking forward to seeing you back! |
| Dec 5 21:00:18 | 12m 48s | Shifting Dreamscape | ♥ 2 | Really cool and original. I love how the music and atmosphere is so sunny and joyous at the start, and it warps to get more and more "off". Really cool effect, extremely well executed. Gave me the feels. One of the best entries I've played so far. |
| Dec 5 21:25:10 | 24m 52s | Indoor Haul | ♥ 1 | Really funny idea, and original. The map generator is really impressive, and the audio was really spot on. Held my attention for a long time, there's just something satisfying about looting a bunch of crap from a mall. It was a little difficult to get items into the cart, but I got used to it. Also, 5 minutes seemed a little short for exploring the mall, I feel like a 10 minute mode would have been cool (I suppose that would be easy to add in, so not a big deal). Overall, awesome job! |
| Dec 5 21:27:51 | 2m 41s | Robin Loot | ♥ 2 | Extremely solid, very good execution of a simple idea. It was fun and held my attention all the way through. The levels weren't too difficult but had enough challenge to stay interesting. Nice job! |
| Dec 5 23:26:50 | 1h 58m | BOOTY LOOTER! | ♥ 1 | Ah, so good! The idea is so simple but you pulled it off with flying colors. The animation was all super smooth, the controls intuitive, and the audio... oh, the audio. #1 for audio in my opinion. Super glad I played this. |
| Dec 6 04:58:25 | 5h 31m | Maze Crawler | ♥ 1 | Cool idea. I saw a lot of potential, I got a great vibe wandering the halls. Also very impressive procedural blockage system. Glad I found this! |
| Dec 6 05:23:31 | 25m 06s | The Harsh Life of Terry the Homeless Dude | ♥ 1 | Haha this is hilarious. Awesome audio and honestly the pixel art is spot-on. Funny gameplay, had me laughing. Very nice job, especially for a first try! Definitely keep at it. |
| Dec 6 05:29:18 | 5m 47s | EA Escape | ♥ 1 | There are some bugs, and you get stuck if you pick up 5 employees, but it's hilarious. The best part is the pictures on the wall.s |
| Dec 6 05:46:44 | 17m 26s | Temples of Purgatory | ♥ 1 | I like the graphics style and I love the ambient music that seems to change depending on location. The controls feel a little sluggish, I wouldn't mind a speed-up of the game (including the monsters), and combat wasn't that satisfying (but that's hard to pull off in these types of games). Had some fun though, the game seems polished and bug-free which is a feat in itself. |
| Dec 6 06:03:02 | 16m 18s | Bunnyfication | ♥ 2 | Nice relaxing game. Took a little while to get the gist of it. Liked seeing all the different kinds of bunnies. So much art! I lost interest after a few minutes as the game didn't increase in engagement as it went on, but it was a nice break and I had fun! |
| Dec 6 06:12:01 | 8m 59s | Money Making Miner | ♥ 0 | Cool idea, I have a soft spot for digging games. It's rough around the edges but I see a lot of potential, and what's there is executed well. Keep it up! |
| Dec 6 06:23:42 | 11m 41s | You can't handle my final form | ♥ 1 | Wow! This was such a good idea. I wasn't sure what to expect at all, and I was not disappointed. My brain feels fuzzy now. One of the best games I've played so far! |
| Dec 6 06:54:14 | 30m 32s | Poser | ♥ 1 | Yet another really original idea. And executed well to boot! My absolute favorite part is how the music shifts when you change clothes. It had my wife and I laughing out loud. Also, kudos on organizing with such a big team! That's amazing. |
| Dec 7 07:02:56 | 24h 08m | OVERWHELM | ♥ 1 | The graphics are great. The controls feel nice. The idea is awesome, entering the "hive" was super cool. I liked how you could explore without any enemies until you got the first crystal. My main gripe was that I could only ever get one crystal. The enemies are very twitchy and the one-hit kill is extremely unforgiving. Sometimes I'd get killed instantly as I moved to a new screen. Unfortunately that made most of the game unplayable. It might be better if you kept your crystals when you died or something. Overall a really good entry with just a difficulty balancing issue. Wouldn't be too hard to fix I don't think. Nice job! |
| Dec 7 07:14:34 | 11m 38s | Tiny Bullets | ♥ 1 | I love how it's built like an old arena shooter and it's filled with a bunch of fluffy animals. The heads popping off was a nice touch too. Could have used more feedback on the shots. It might have also felt nicer to pick up ammo drops instead of getting the ammo for free on kill. Cool entry though, keep it up! |
| Dec 7 07:28:34 | 14m 00s | Beer Pong Arcade | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! Super simple and hits the theme pretty well. It's pretty difficult, but I think that's OK. Feels like a game I'd sneak a few sessions of in at work while I'm bored. Would actually make a decent mobile game too I think. |
| Dec 7 07:40:30 | 11m 56s | The Will of the Wisps | ♥ 3 | Really cool audio/visual experience! I absolutely loved how stuff lying around became menacing as you gathered more fireflies. That was awesome. And the music was superb. My only suggestion would be that it might have been nice for there to be a visual cue to let the player know an area is blocked off, or when an area is unlocked. I was confused why I couldn't go into certain dark places at first, and did quite a bit of wandering sometimes after areas were unlocked. Overall, really well done! Really glad I found this. Kudos guys! |
| Dec 7 07:59:10 | 18m 40s | Greedy Dungeon | ♥ 2 | I'm a sucker for dungeon games so I really enjoyed this. I wasn't able to get very far though. I got the gauntlet a few times, but the combat is really unforgiving. It was a little much that the enemies anticipated your location, had a lot of range, and attacked so quickly. Also the player's sword is really skinny, resulting in some frustrating misses. The controls were good, but it sometimes felt clunky when you were trying to move and attack at the same time. It felt like NES Zelda but without the top-down view to help the player know which direction the sword will go. Not too bad though. But the art and animation was spot-on. The music was great dungeon background music, and the audio was really good! The player's attack and pain grunts were perfect. Overall it was really well-polished, which is something to be said in itself for a jam game! Great job guys! |
| Dec 7 08:10:16 | 11m 06s | Speed Demon | ♥ 0 | Great game. I'm really bad at it! lol. The teleportation instead of movement is a nice touch, it takes a bit to get used to and it messes with my mind, which I enjoy. The art was fantastic as well. I can see a lot of potential with added sound and a heavy metal track or something. |
| Dec 7 08:20:42 | 10m 26s | MultiCaring | ♥ 1 | I ended up with all my bunny heads living in two giant bath tubs with a bunch of food floating around in there with them. I'd throw the TV in there with them every now and then. That was awesome. When I grabbed something to move it, it would grab everything the mouse touched as I held down the button as well, which made placement a little tricky. That's my only big gripe though. Fun idea, I enjoyed it. |
| Dec 7 18:21:53 | 10h 01m | Hungry Ghost | ♥ 1 | You explored a lot of cool variations on a simple idea. Nice work! Really enjoyed my playthrough. Loved the sprite changes as your ghost got fatter. Also enjoyed being able to restart the level quickly. My main suggestion would be to perhaps run the game with a larger view-port at the same resolution to increase visibility. |
| Dec 7 18:35:13 | 13m 20s | Damn Birds | ♥ 1 | Light on features but simple and pretty fun. It's amazing how you made birds recognizable with literally 5 pixels, pretty impressed and tickled by that. Obviously some audio and some kind of progression would help take the game further, but LD's a crunch and that's the way of it. Had fun and had a few laughs. Nice job! |
| Dec 7 19:22:55 | 47m 42s | How To War | ♥ 1 | It was brave of you to go for a strategy game for your first time! It worked out, it's a nice and simple management game that fits the theme. Well done! The only big suggestion I'd make is to not pause the game every time an event happens, or make it an option. That kind of messed up my groove sometimes. Bosca Ceoil tip: If you pick a key *and* pick a chord in an arrangement, Bosca Ceoil will only let you place notes that fit within that chord. This means you can kind of splatter notes and they're guaranteed to sound half-decent, without any knowledge of music. Then you can play around to find out what you like. |
| Dec 7 19:42:51 | 19m 56s | Presents | ♥ 1 | I thought I has exploiting when I decided to climb the presents to get out. Lo and behold, that was the secret objective! That was pretty awesome. The music was a really great original track that you managed to make sound very christmasy, pretty impressive. My only gripe would be that the collisions were a little wonky, but overall it was an original idea and it made me laugh a lot. Nice work! |
| Dec 7 20:37:41 | 54m 50s | Kittie Reaper: A Depressed Cat Tale | ♥ 1 | Pretty awesome idea! I like the art and the theme was fun. One suggestion would be to keep the hit box just on the character's feet for a game with this perspective so that you can fit between buildings more intuitively. Other than that, was fun! |
| Dec 7 20:55:26 | 17m 45s | My Greedy Dog Steve | ♥ 2 | Really awesome concept. All the art was great, especially Steven himself. The pacing was a little slow for my taste (wish I could have made Lilly go a bit faster, maybe with one of the level-up options. The negative debuffs were a cool idea, although it got closer and closer to impossible to play the game (by design perhaps?) Overall I liked it, a nice little game! |
| Dec 7 21:04:42 | 9m 16s | Greed Mania | ♥ 1 | This is actually really fun in its simplicity. The controls are smooth and the enemies have a lot of variety. The audio is simple and fitting as well. Although, is the "kill all" supposed to, well, kill all the enemies? Didn't quite seem to do that for me. Maybe it wasn't supposed to. But yeah, cool project! I spent quite a while playing this haha. **Edit:** Ah, I realize the "kill all" is accompanied by an enemy sprite, and it kills all of that type. Makes sense! |
| Dec 7 21:27:58 | 23m 16s | The Adventures of Marty Graw | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool, love the idea of off-loading your gold every now and then so you aren't weighed down. It's simple and it's engaging. The controls were tight and worked well. Loved the music as well. Nice project! |
| Dec 7 21:39:15 | 11m 17s | Critter Clutter | ♥ 3 | Nice! Really simple, superbly executed, and engaging! The art, animation, and audio all jive together really well. Nothing stood out that really bothered me while I was playing. Nice job! |
| Dec 7 22:25:26 | 46m 11s | Captain Capsize | ♥ 1 | I really love the idea, but I can't seem to place items consistently, especially when I pick them up from the water or other boats. The cursor keeps losing altitude and I can't actually place them on my deck (they fall under the boat). That made most of the game very hard to play, and made gathering lots of loot impossible. Love the art, sounds, and music though. And again, the concept is great. |
| Dec 7 22:46:07 | 20m 41s | Runaway Magic | ♥ 1 | This had me laughing out loud. Fantastic dialogue! I enjoyed my playthrough, although I feel a little bit bad about incinerating so many mushroom people. Oh well. |
| Dec 7 23:12:36 | 26m 29s | The More You Make | ♥ 0 | You know, these are actually pretty good. I especially love how spectacularly you explode in every game. Really cheeky idea for the theme, I like it! |
| Dec 7 23:22:49 | 10m 13s | Chuckles, the Word Juggler | ♥ 1 | Nice concept! 159 knives baby! I kinda was hoping knives would keep getting added eventually. Gotta pull down those 100wpm freaks at some point, right? Really awesome, simple and well-executed. |
| Dec 8 01:45:59 | 2h 23m | Cardhoard | ♥ 1 | Really tight controls and engaging for what a small game it is. Nice art and the sounds are perfect. Nice one! |
| Dec 12 03:20:45 | 97h 34m | PullPals | ♥ 1 | That was really fun and very different! I really appreciate such an original idea. The gameplay was simple and fun, the graphics were good where it matters, and the audio was excellent. I think it slightly missed the theme, but that's the only real criticism I have. |
| Dec 12 03:24:08 | 3m 23s | RE-SANTA | ♥ 0 | This was insanely awesome. The sweater graphics were just so spot-on, and along with the gameplay and audio made for an excellent experience. Finding this made me really happy. Such a good job! The gameplay does get tedious and monotonous after a long play session, but that's to be expected when you're trying to con 50 friends with re-gifts! |
| Dec 12 03:32:02 | 7m 54s | Office Escape | ♥ 1 | Ok so, I'm not going to lie. This made me laugh, like a lot. I choked on my drink. The theme was quite a stretch, and I wasn't sure what to do at first (maybe work on item selection feedback), but I had fun and I had a laugh so I'm happy! |
| Dec 12 03:40:58 | 8m 56s | Droplet | ♥ 0 | Really nice simple well-polished game. It is very relaxing. The light/dark mechanic turned out to be a bit of a brain-teaser that I didn't expect, which is pretty cool. Nice work! |
| Dec 12 03:48:58 | 8m 00s | Run Guys | ♥ 2 | Pretty cool little project! I like the premise, and the gameplay was straight-forward but entertaining. The controls are smooth and responsive, and the terrain done neatly. I'm still too much of a wuss to do 3D, so it's impressive to me that you did this all from scratch. |
| Dec 12 04:30:21 | 41m 23s | Ignorance is Bliss | ♥ 2 | Wow this game is insane. I can't believe you guys finished this in 72 hours. There is so much gameplay here... I'm going to have to play through it to get a few more of the endings haha. My only gripe is that some of the music tracks are very repetitive, but even so I'm not sure how you guys made so many different tracks in time. Seriously, well done. Very awesome. |
| Dec 12 04:39:52 | 9m 31s | Tony Hawk's Hatchback Stunt Simulator: Ghost Protocol | ♥ 0 | lol! The controls are awful, but it was pretty funny. The music is really fitting. And the online/ghost-driver system is pretty cool and impressive. Fun project! |
| Dec 12 04:52:29 | 12m 37s | Risky Robbery | ♥ 2 | Really cool idea! The action system was a little bit confusing, but exploring was fun and opening safes felt awesome. The laser rooms were a little annoying, there was no way to know they were there until it was too late. But overall it was really engaging and such a cool idea. Would love to see this more fleshed out! |
| Dec 12 04:59:28 | 6m 59s | Sally's Dark Adventure | ♥ 1 | Immersive story! lol. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but eating cookies seemed to slow you down even though you needed them to fill your energy bar, which was a fun balancing act. Also the cars pulling out randomly was hilarious. |
| Dec 15 06:05:34 | 73h 06m | Spacelitch | ♥ 1 | Wow, this gets really hard! I like the old school graphics, sounds, and music, but the gameplay is a little tough for me (maybe I'm just not that good at shmups? Totally possible.) Would be nice in some of the close quarters parts if your bullets only bounced once or something, it's easy to create a corridor of doom for yourself just trying to shoot enemies. Was pretty cool though! I liked the dialogue. Good work! |
| Dec 15 06:12:04 | 6m 30s | Synapse | ♥ 0 | Nice puzzle game, and really original! The movements seemed a little janky, would be nice if they were a little smoother. Also I didn't fully understand what I was doing sometimes, some levels I beat and I wasn't completely sure what I did. But maybe that was the point, to "feel" out the puzzle? Really interesting, enjoyed this entry! |
| Dec 18 01:07:56 | 66h 55m | 404: Space Not Found | ♥ 2 | Really fun idea! Took a bit to understand what was going on, but I had a lot of fun with a few replays after I did. Awesome concept and pretty well executed, the polish level was pretty high. |
| Dec 18 21:17:20 | 20h 09m | AdVasion | ♥ 0 | Pretty awesome idea! I think it's a little bit random that you control a dude that's running around dodging embedded ads, it could have worked just fine as a mouse point-and-click and have your computer crash when too many ads popped up, but it was fun and it also worked the way you did it. So nice job! |
| Dec 19 23:26:29 | 26h 09m | Too Many Chooks | ♥ 1 | A good simple concept really well executed. My 5-year-old nephew really enjoyed it. Haha! |
| Dec 19 23:34:32 | 8m 03s | The Exalted | ♥ 1 | Cool simple game and I love the graphics. It was a little confusing at first. It's very easy to kill yourself but that's part of the game, which is cool. |
| Dec 19 23:42:24 | 7m 52s | Bike taxi service | ♥ 0 | Hilarious concept and pretty well executed. The controls were pretty smooth and I had fun! It's obviously not finished but that's ok, that's how it goes in a jam. Nice work! |
| Dec 20 00:09:15 | 26m 51s | Dashing Delivery | ♥ 1 | Fun idea, but the "you get minus points for wasted presents" doesn't feel very impactful. Maybe it would be cooler to have something more concrete happen when you missed, like damaging the houses or wrecking cars. Also, the motion blur really recked my FPS for some reason, so maybe tone that down or make it an option. |
| Dec 20 00:32:12 | 22m 57s | Brick Racer | ♥ 1 | At first I was really confused. Then I realized the mechanics of the game. THEN I realized the genius of the game: to get a good score you have to be stupid! I played this a lot trying to get a good score, and I had to really tear myself away from it to play other games. Extremely simple but effective mechanic. Nice! |
| Dec 20 00:38:37 | 6m 25s | Taser Loser | ♥ 1 | Pretty funny game, I think you can get stuck on the floor of the level though. Couldn't figure out how to climb that ladder that ends under a platform. Pretty cool project though. |
| Dec 20 00:49:22 | 10m 45s | Fiscal Dungeon | ♥ 3 | It's funny how I *know* that getting coins is bad in this game, but I can't help but get a tiny shot of endorphin when I get a coin regardless. It's hilarious how gaming conventions have wired our brains like that. Was an unexpectedly deep and interesting game! |
| Dec 20 23:40:02 | 22h 50m | Tuftles | ♥ 1 | Nice concept, but it's kind of frustrating to play without being able to see stats for all of them at once. I understand though that that might create a ton of clutter later on. Also I tried not doing anything except cleaning up dead ones and that seemed to keep the herd alive still, so there's some balancing work too. But overall it was a fun concept and it was fun! |
| Dec 20 23:50:16 | 10m 14s | Fireball Dungeon | ♥ 1 | Nice job! Simple design and really solid execution. |
| Dec 21 00:10:57 | 20m 41s | Ingredients of Insanity | ♥ 1 | Nice two player game! Had fun with my nephew. |
| Dec 21 00:45:36 | 34m 39s | Units of measurement are notorious hoarders of francium | ♥ 1 | Haha very interesting game. Took me a while to realize the birds were on my side. And, well, what the heck was happening. I was amused. |
| Dec 21 00:56:27 | 10m 51s | Refuse to Lose | ♥ 0 | This is hilarious. I love it! Runs a little slow on my laptop though, and the play window is too big for my screen (1366 x 768). My desktop is 1080p and most people are on 1080p, but don't forget the people who are still on 720p! |
| Dec 21 01:08:08 | 11m 41s | Final Stand | ♥ 0 | Pretty cool game. The aim seemed a little off-center, probably because the bullets were coming from the gun which was off to the side. Not a big deal but was a little weird. Also it was hard to tell what exact benefits the crystals gave. But I liked it, keep it up! |
| Dec 27 02:20:48 | 145h 12m | LD40 - SirPumpy | ♥ 1 | I love the art style, and the music was pretty fitting. The graphics in general were eye-candy, really nice work on that. The basic gameplay was fun as well. I see some good potential in this! Keep it up! |
