| Oct 8 20:37:49 | Chickie Catchers | ♥ 0 | I played the single player version. Great graphics and sound! Original concept with convincing physics. Gameplay is a bit frustrating at times. I think it's a pity that the cat cannot catch anything when it's going down. | |
| Oct 8 20:49:32 | 11m 43s | Banana Martyr | ♥ 1 | Very funny and original game! Art is great too. Gameplay would be more interesting if there was more strategy to jumping over the monkeys. Great idea to have the boss perturb the rope, though the resulting rope physics seem a bit random. |
| Oct 8 21:08:12 | 18m 40s | Volatile Waters | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept! It's great to have so many types of organism with different behaviours. Clicking on the garbage got kind of annoying after awhile. I never figured out how to reduce the pollution once it starts increasing. Sometimes I could not place certain organisms, such as the turtle. |
| Oct 9 08:29:33 | 11h 21m | Noinun40 | ♥ 1 | Cute game! Interesting concept. I did not find a strategy beyond trying not to place an item that would immediately result in a match-2 or 3. I never figured out when items become black. At the end of the game, there does not seem to be an indication of how well/badly I've done. |
| Oct 9 08:39:46 | 10m 13s | Cowabunga | ♥ 1 | Cute little game, which I think could be improved much with some tweaking. Game is atmospheric, graphics are charming. My winning strategy was simply hanging around in the middle, trying to shoot enemies before they get to the middle. The bombers can simply be ignored. Giving the player a reason to jump would make the game more interesting. |
| Oct 9 15:29:52 | 6h 50m | Meowgician | ♥ 2 | Cool game, short and sweet. Well presented and fun. The music speeding up and the tilting, sometimes making it difficult to move, really contribute to the sense of urgency. Figuring out what to do is definitely part of the fun. |
| Oct 9 15:35:58 | 6m 06s | Critical Error | ♥ 1 | Cute game! It's polished and playable enough, but very short. Love the music. It would be great just having a bigger level. Connection to the theme is unclear. |
| Oct 9 15:54:10 | 18m 12s | Egg Barrage | ♥ 0 | Original and great fun! It's like an angry birds in inverse. A minor gripe is that having to click on the crate icon before placing a crate is kind of pointless. This game is worth extending further, with limits on crate numbers, different crate types, multiple eggs, etc, to make levels increasingly challenging. |
| Oct 9 16:37:46 | 43m 36s | Corruption TD | ♥ 1 | Great game! I love TD games. I found out that you win the game by destroying the crystal in the middle. I think it would be even more interesting if you had to kill off all the plague to win. Then you'd have to figure out a strategy of containing the growing plague (which what I did at first). |
| Oct 9 20:00:39 | 3h 22m | Crumble | ♥ 1 | Good work! Simple yet challenging. Gameplay seems a little random though, as a small difference can result in a big effect. I think this can be fixed with some tweaking. I think having to time the release of the ball may not add much to the gameplay, balancing is difficult enough as it is. |
| Oct 9 20:12:51 | 12m 12s | Tip-See-Saw | ♥ 1 | This is actually a very nice and challenging game. Maybe it can be improved into a bigger, more complex game. Why not use cursor up/down instead of Q/E, which would more intuitive. At some point, you always pick up 5 boxes at the same time because it's so crowded with boxes. I would say, make sure you pick up only one at a time. |
| Oct 9 21:36:22 | 1h 23m | The Walls Are Tumbling Down! | ♥ 1 | Cute game, a pacman clone that's a roguelike! I like the procedural levels. It takes ages clearing the levels though. Why do you get so little ammo? I can't even kill an enemy with one shot. |
| Oct 9 21:51:52 | 15m 30s | Fragile Payload | ♥ 1 | Great game! The level presents varied and interesting challenges. Waiting for and staying on the moving platforms was a little frustrating. It would help if there was something like a "stability bar", showing how close you are to detonation. As it is now, it's often a guess what makes you detonate. |
| Oct 9 21:59:38 | 7m 46s | Catastrophic Journey | ♥ 0 | Nice game! Pretty easy, as I managed to complete it in one go. I like the isometric graphics. Sometimes it wasn't clear where I could go and what tiles were blocking me. |
| Oct 9 22:30:51 | 31m 13s | Reactor | ♥ 1 | Wow, that's a really original concept! Controls work well. It would be nice if the difficulty ramped up a little more slowly, allowing the player to learn how to build a proper accelerator. A minor complaint is that you have to wait for the explosion to finish when the particle is destroyed. |
| Oct 9 22:37:45 | 6m 54s | Stable city | ♥ 0 | Nice take on the balancing theme! Careful stacking really seems to pay off. The vertical scrolling is a bit awkward sometimes. |
| Oct 9 22:50:04 | 12m 19s | unstable.?! | ♥ 1 | Best use of the theme so far! Very funny. Most of the levels aren't much of a challenge, but the game is a lot of fun while it lasts. |
| Oct 9 23:07:47 | 17m 43s | Unstable Profits | ♥ 1 | One of the nicest stacking games I've seen. It's pretty easy though. At some point the platform grew out of proportions and you cannot collect money from the plants on the right. The smaller plants do not seem very useful, I skipped to the bananas very quickly. It would be nice to have more expensive plant types, so you get this exponential growth effect. |
| Oct 10 14:16:23 | 15h 08m | Outstanding Acaipowered Spaceship | ♥ 1 | Nice shooter, and a lot of content for a 48-hour game, with bosses and all! Having to choose what to shoot is interesting, though ramming is often easier than shooting. |
| Oct 10 14:24:27 | 8m 04s | Unstable Aviation | ♥ 1 | This is a really fun shooter! I'm not sure the stability feature really adds to the gameplay though. Since there's no penalty for switching modes often, switching back and forth quickly allows you to essentially stay in the same mode. |
| Oct 10 14:42:37 | 18m 10s | BouncyCake | ♥ 1 | Very cute game with nice graphics, though rather difficult. I found gameplay is concentrated on hitting the platforms correctly, which is made harder by the optical illusion effect of the tilted platforms. Perhaps it would be nicer if this was easier, and the puzzle element of choosing your route could come more to the foreground. |
| Oct 10 15:49:59 | 1h 07m | Core of Color | ♥ 1 | Wow, that's a strange game! As is, it's enjoyable in the sense of a toy rather than a game. The visuals and behaviour are intriguing. The core seemed to expand by itself. Would be interesting to see how to add game-like goal-based challenge to it. The core moves rather slowly, I think it's better to have faster movement to increase the pace. |
| Oct 10 16:10:33 | 20m 34s | doctor concoctor | ♥ 1 | A decent arena shooter with a lot of content, great job! I think it could be improved even more with some tweaks. The enemies seem very hard to kill, they need a lot of hits. Also I miss nice enemy explosions. The crosshairs could be a little clearer. |
| Oct 16 15:19:33 | 143h 09m | -Connection Interrupted- | ♥ 1 | Good work, really original take on the theme! It crashed on my on level 6. It wasn't always clear to me why a satellite keeps connection to a particular antenna, apart from being in the antenna's range. Also, using commands seems a complicated way to keep the antennas aligned in real-time. Manipulating the antennas in the bottom view directly seems more appropriate. |
| Oct 16 15:41:31 | 21m 58s | Spintop | ♥ 0 | Cute game! I think it needs some work in the fun department. At some point I hit a wall. I did not find a way to pass it. I tried upgrading everything twice, but it did not seem to help in finding a way forward. |
| Oct 16 16:11:31 | 30m 00s | Quantum Splitter | ♥ 1 | Great game! Original, polished, challenging puzzles. Graphics are effective. Some minor gripes: I would like to be able to skip the restart animation, and I would prefer to have a separate option to reset the moveable items. |
| Oct 16 16:33:50 | 22m 19s | Last Bargain | ♥ 3 | This is a superb looking game! Music is very atmospheric. Great how you can build your ship by attaching modules. You do need a lot of patience manoevering the ship though. |
| Oct 16 16:42:47 | 8m 57s | Trick Or Retreat II | ♥ 1 | Cute game! Nice retro look. Locking on to the candy is kind of frustrating. Maybe a different control scheme would make it easier, for example, moving using the mouse, enabling other parts of the game to be more difficult. |
| Oct 16 16:54:18 | 11m 31s | Watch your step | ♥ 1 | Great entry! Very playable and polished. Sometimes it seems unfair that you have no floor left to go somewhere, and you have no way to cross it, and you lose. It would be nice to be able to trade a health for the ability to cross a collapsed floor tile. |
| Oct 16 17:34:47 | 40m 29s | Earthquakes and Monsters | ♥ 1 | Cute TD game! The TD strategy element is simple, but the game is very entertaining, worth replaying to see different endings. |
| Oct 16 22:26:54 | 4h 52m | Greedy Miner | ♥ 1 | Cute and enjoyable game! It does need some balancing though. Optimal strategy seems to be just to build as many houses as possible, and simply rebuild whatever is lost. Radius has some use when you have a stack, the other buildings did not seem to help much and cost a lot. |
