| Oct 3 23:49:17 | Giant Horse Deathball | ♥ 1 | I didn't understand the name at first, but then at some point I had 20+ animals at my disposal, slamming into a bunch of rednecks! My favorite farm animal is definitely the pile of poo. The music is good too :) | |
| Oct 4 01:23:32 | 1h 34m | Unstable Genius | ♥ 1 | I felt like a real h4x0r when I figured this out, great job! The little touches like the opening video, the torrent file, and a few others (no spoilers) were really welcome. The puzzle was the perfect level of difficulty too. Great job! |
| Oct 4 01:32:55 | 9m 23s | Demolition Mouse | ♥ 3 | This was a very nice entry! I liked the variety in platforms (ice, cheese) a lot! The graphics are great. Just wish that collision bug didn't happen because it killed quite a few runs. Still, very nice! |
| Oct 4 01:38:46 | 5m 51s | Move IT | ♥ 1 | This was cool! I really dug the music and the nighttime vibe. The lights on the truck totally added to the immersion. I had fun jamming out to the music and making a few deliveries before driving off the edge of the map. The only thing I didn't really understand is what the meter at the bottom left was representing. |
| Oct 4 01:54:00 | 15m 14s | Tables & Tremors | ♥ 2 | This was crazy. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. I agree it was pretty unforgiving, but overall, it's a well put-together compo entry. I dig little things like the chairs off in the distance and the sound effect as a table falls into the ether |
| Oct 4 02:08:25 | 14m 25s | Un Stabled | ♥ 2 | This was cool! I like the physics and little details like the random horse name. Poor Bella :( I finally figured out how to change the scream intensity, and was able to beat it. Nice game! |
| Oct 4 02:28:33 | 20m 08s | A boat in the storm | ♥ 1 | This was neat. I am digging the abstract ocean visuals. I really liked the music, but you didn't put audio as a rating category so I'm assuming you didn't make it? |
| Oct 4 02:32:42 | 4m 09s | Pot Shots & Whiskey | ♥ 1 | This was so cool! I love the graphics and the overall cheeky aesthetic. It is definitely missing some sound though. |
| Oct 4 22:08:09 | 19h 35m | Space Squabble | ♥ 1 | This is sooo good! The art, sound, dialog and mechanics are so polished for any game, forget the fact it was made in 48 hours. I love details like the little intro cut scene. So good! |
| Oct 4 22:12:11 | 4m 02s | That stable looks pretty unstable | ♥ 2 | This was goofy but fun, and had just the right kinda charm to make it all come together. I managed to 'thread the needle' with a horse between the last 2 posts a couple times before finally knocking it all down, which made me laugh out loud. Great job! |
| Oct 4 22:19:32 | 7m 21s | Cross Over | ♥ 1 | I really like the main character, especially the way he hops around when switching direction, so cute! The theme is well integrated and the platforming, though pretty basic, works well enough. I was kinda sad when I beat the game because I wanted to keep playing, which is a good thing! |
| Oct 5 16:49:31 | 18h 29m | Pile Up Medieval | ♥ 2 | hahaha this was awesome. I liked trying to stack as many houses as I could on the tiny pier to the far right. Wasn't able to beat the dragon ever, but I still played like 5 times. Really fun! |
| Oct 5 16:57:32 | 8m 01s | The Theme is Unstable | ♥ 1 | This was so much fun! The sound effects are goofy and match the overall theme of the game. I literally thought something was wrong with my web browser for a second when everything turned to French! Great job :) |
| Oct 5 17:04:13 | 6m 41s | Volcano Containment | ♥ 2 | I love gamejams for games games like this. Hook shot? Lava? Why not. It's a fun little platformer that has a great feeling of intensity to it. I agree with others that the difficulty is way high. I was really proud to get 2 extinguishers after about 20 attempts. Still, I kept playing because it's just a really fresh and fun feeling mechanic. |
| Oct 5 17:12:53 | 8m 40s | LD49: Homeward | ♥ 2 | This was awesome! I'm amazed by how many events you crammed in 48 hours, complete with lots of unique art! The writing is great too. I also had problems dealing with high levels of Reasoning, but I appreciate that balance is difficult in 48 hours. Overall, this was super creative and fun :) |
| Oct 5 17:59:57 | 47m 04s | Bad Ball Blob | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! I really appreciate the detailed tutorial! The sniper levels were my favorite, but the 100+ ball levels were are also really fun! Nice job! |
| Oct 5 18:23:20 | 23m 23s | Jam Fall | ♥ 1 | Jam and Lava? Why not! This is such a cute, silly, well-constrained game! I liked playing on the hardest difficulty and seeing the chaos ensue. Was pretty happy to get over 200 on it! Nice job! |
| Oct 5 20:01:13 | 1h 37m | What a Beach | ♥ 1 | Haha I love the push mechanic. Take that you other drunks! Overall I really really like the combination of mechanics, music and graphics. It just makes for a fun experience that I enjoyed playing :) |
| Oct 5 20:05:18 | 4m 05s | Equilibrium | ♥ 1 | This is pretty simple, but really fun. The overall aesthetic matches the design: simple and obvious. I liked how it played, didn't have any problem with the controls at all. The only thing I would say is that having to restart from 0 when you lose is kinda harsh. Being able to stay at your current level would have been better in my opinion. Still, a really nice entry :) |
| Oct 5 20:29:02 | 23m 44s | Slime-a-pult | ♥ 1 | This was fun! I have never played a platformer with this kind of movement mechanic, and I found it very refreshing. I really like details like the cutscenes with the shaking text and other charms. Very nice! |
| Oct 5 22:56:22 | 2h 27m | Spirit Soother | ♥ 1 | Great graphics and really cool music. I agree with others that the main mechanic is very finicky. I still enjoyed the game though, it was a fresh take on a traditional genre. Nice job! |
| Oct 6 00:38:49 | 1h 42m | The Unstable Comet | ♥ 1 | I really dig the kinda anti-shoot-em-up vibe here. Your ship is slow, your weapon is slow, the asteroids are slow. But the controls are tight and the action isn't exactly frantic, so it balances it out. It's a much more mellow shooter. The music fits it really well too. Nice! |
| Oct 6 00:46:39 | 7m 50s | Rival Sniper | ♥ 1 | This was really fun. Reminded me of a browser game I used to play with a similar concept. The little story woven into this is refreshing for a compo entry. Overall I had a blast playing it and was sad when it was over. Nice! |
| Oct 6 00:54:46 | 8m 07s | Connection Lost | ♥ 2 | I really dig the idea of this game. The music and art are nice and everything made sense very intuitively. I think that the difficulty is pretty high. Between the little collision (even when you go off-road doing 10% damage, to the short timer when you get out of range, it's really hard to recover from any mistake. Still, I found myself playing a longer than I thought I would. Nice! |
| Oct 6 01:38:10 | 43m 24s | Core:Unstable | ♥ 1 | This was great! I liked the separate mini-games that are simple but combine for a chaotic (unstable) time. Really well done with the lighting and the music too to bring it all together. |
| Oct 6 01:46:11 | 8m 01s | Horse with a Human Mask on A Tightrope | ♥ 1 | Wow this is absurd in the best way. I am not nearly good enough to beat it, but that didn't stop me from playing like 10+ rounds of failure. Great job! |
| Oct 6 01:49:56 | 3m 45s | Scootin’ Cubes | ♥ 1 | Simple concept, but pretty fun! it has a rhythm game feel after a while. I think the color switching mechanic is pretty novel, well done! |
| Oct 6 02:05:36 | 15m 40s | Spacify | ♥ 1 | This was awesome. The music is amazing for 48 hours, you obviously have a real talent for it. I found the edge-to-edge wrapping pretty difficult to comprehend at first, but eventually I figured it out. I feel the composition of notes is pretty limited since you can only move 1 column at a time, all the songs felt pretty similar in this regard. Still, I played all of them multiple times and really just had a blast jamming out to your entry, nice job! |
| Oct 6 02:25:13 | 19m 37s | Gun King (HTML) | ♥ 1 | Nice game, and great use of the theme. I liked how you had to rely on the enemies in some instances to bounce you far enough onto another platform. The pixel art and sfx are great and very fitting. Nice job! |
| Oct 6 02:38:27 | 13m 14s | Choppy Rescue | ♥ 0 | This game looks great! I really couldn't get very far with how difficult the controls are, but I appreciate all the details like the 3D HUD elements, the instructions screen, and the scenery. I do appreciate that the helo has some structural integrity and doesn't blow up at the slightest bump (otherwise I'd be doomed). Nice job! |
| Oct 6 02:45:46 | 7m 19s | Gunstable Tanks | ♥ 1 | This was great! I felt like a real George Patton with my forward assault. The boss was quite a doozy, but I managed to beat him on my second attempt. Really enjoyed this :) |
| Oct 6 13:00:57 | 10h 15m | Parcel Panic | ♥ 1 | This was a great looking game, and I actually think the controls are pretty tight. No complaints there. I liked having to learn where the houses were, it felt like I was really becoming a mail carrier! I agree with others that it's too hard though. Seems like the label that tells you what building to drop off a parcel at goes away after only a few seconds. Does this mean the delivery can't be completed even though the parcel is still in your inventory? It wasn't clear to me. Either way, it was a fun chaotic little game :) |
