| Oct 4 02:38:06 | Breakaway | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed the game, you did an especially nice job with the art and sound. Good music. It had a simple dinosaur game kinda feel to it, keeps you going, nice and fun. The controls felt a bit loose, sliding a bit extra when you unpress the buttons, and the pacing felt a little slow, it didn't seem to get much harder with time. That's all I can see wrong with it, it has a consistent style to it making the art and music even better. Overall great job on your game and good luck. | |
| Oct 4 19:01:30 | 16h 23m | Koluan's DINER | ♥ 2 | The art, music, and sound on this game were really well done, and the gameplay was simple and easy to understand. Next time though, try using less text to convey how to play the game, (I've had enough English homework lol). Great job this jam, and good luck! |
| Oct 4 19:14:16 | 12m 46s | An Unstable World | ♥ 2 | The audio was the best part of this game, it made it sound nice and outdoors-y. The graphics were quite nice, sticking to the same simplified style throughout, but the ground was a bit bland, try adding more dimension to it. Unfortunately, the gameplay was a bit hard to understand; though the concept was clear, how to make use of it to do well in the game was not. It would be a good idea to make it so the player can see immediate clear results of their actions or to clearly know what each of their actions will do. The idea for the game was a good one, and fit the theme better than my game. Anyway, nice job making your game and good luck in judging! |
| Oct 4 19:24:18 | 10m 02s | The Nuclear Nightmare | ♥ 2 | This game is quite fun, you got the right balance of difficulty, and the learning curve is very nice, does not take long to get into the game and begin having fun. The bar which shows how close you are to exploding was a bit difficult to notice, so maybe make that bigger, but that was not bad. Nice choice of distorting the screen to show off how close you are to exploding, makes it nice and clear. You guys did a great job this year, props to you, and good luck in judging! |
| Oct 4 19:37:18 | 13m 00s | Soul Portals | ♥ 0 | It's a bit difficult to judge a game that is not finished but I will give it my best shot. I liked the music, it fits the mood you were trying to go for, keep practicing and your music will be through the roof. The art was not great, but it's programmer art, and has its own charm. In terms of gameplay, the concept sounds fun, but without a proper implementation it can't really be judged properly. The gameplay it appears you were going for would be a bit boring and the time limit was a bit restrictive and it took a bit of messing around to figure out how to replenish time (next time, try imposing a less strict time limit on beginning levels and making it harder as time goes on). Good concept for a game, good luck with final implementation! |
| Oct 4 19:51:50 | 14m 32s | BATTERY ACID | ♥ 1 | This is the best game I have played so far. First of all, the music, sound, and art are all top notch and fit into the same theme. This is the first game I have not wanted to stop playing. If I had to make one critique though its that the J looks like a V and its hard to tell that your supposed to press J. The pacing and gameplay is another place where this game shines: the game steadily gets harder to make the player more challenged, but its not in your face like a level system. Plus, the fast paced gameplay with the music makes it hard to put down. Overall great job and good luck! |
| Oct 4 20:01:52 | 10m 02s | Topple Tower | ♥ 2 | Its surprisingly difficult because physics engine. The graphics and audio were quite nice. It did not take long to figure out how to play. Nice work with the game and good luck in judging. |
| Oct 5 10:58:22 | 14h 56m | Babel | ♥ 1 | This is a clever game, very easy to get into playing it, not hard to understand how to play. The audio is quite funny how it changes with the objects and some very funny ones. I have no criticisms, this is a very well made game, good luck. |
| Oct 5 11:05:30 | 7m 08s | Boat History | ♥ 1 | This is a very nice and calming game, although a bit difficult. The music and sound effects are calming, and really gives you that beach vibe. Nice game and, good luck. |
| Oct 5 11:37:19 | 31m 49s | Unstable Network | ♥ 1 | Nice game, and interesting take on the theme, I would not have thought to make a a game like this. I would say though that it was a bit difficult to beat, I could not get to the end (maybe add checkpoints). Anyway, great job, and good luck! |
| Oct 5 11:44:38 | 7m 19s | Warp Glider | ♥ 1 | The game was hard, but in the way that makes you want to keep playing, the game really allows you to learn the controls quickly. Its one of the more fun games I've played. The art for the game is also very nice and conveyed the level to the user really nicely while still looking great. Great job on your game and good luck! |
| Oct 5 11:58:10 | 13m 32s | Horsey Bash | ♥ 1 | Nice game, the music really makes you feel tension and fast pace of the game. Also I find it clever how you made it so you are only able to move in the way of a knight in chess. Also its brilliant how you managed to combine turn based combat and action. |
| Oct 5 12:03:17 | 5m 07s | Elephants Never Tumble | ♥ 1 | The game is quite funny, I did not expect to be stacking random objects on a tightrope walking elephant today, but now I have done it and it has made my day lol. I would say that the game is a bit difficult, and there is not a lot of space for the player to succeed, so maybe make easier levels and then make it progressively harder. Also, the controls were a bit sluggish. Other than that, fun and funny game, good luck! |
| Oct 5 12:10:40 | 7m 23s | U-49 Meltdown | ♥ 3 | The best part of this game was the sound design, I have not yet seen a game with spoken text, really makes it stand out. The gameplay was a bit difficult for my taste, and I could not beat the level. The art was nice and the visual effects like screen shake really were done well to make you feel like you are there. Great job this year and good luck. |
| Oct 5 22:35:34 | 10h 24m | Devil's Sitter | ♥ 3 | The game keeps you playing, quite neat and well done. The base concept of the game is unorthodox never would of thought "demon child daycare" and taking that literally, very funny. Great game and good luck! |
| Oct 5 22:44:03 | 8m 29s | Tilted Chicken Game | ♥ 2 | The backstory of this humor with the juxtaposition of a what would be sad with the fact that it's a chicken that swears when you drop eggs (nice touch btw, absolutely hilarious). It would be better though if you made it more clear how to pick up eggs, because it took me several levels to figure out how to pick up eggs. Very funny game idea, good luck in judging! |
| Oct 5 22:55:06 | 11m 03s | Nuclear Faith | ♥ 2 | The artwork for this game is very well done, as well as the audio. It was a bit difficult to understand, should have introduced features more incrementally. (also, as mentioned before, the clean option seemed kinda useless, and the clean lever barely did anything). The topic fits the theme well of an unstable nuclear reactor. Great game, good luck in judging! |
| Oct 5 23:15:22 | 20m 16s | Neon Tower | ♥ 1 | Very clean artwork and gameplay, quick to learn nice to play. The music is also calming. Good luck in judging! |
| Oct 6 11:41:54 | 12h 26m | Short Fuse | ♥ 1 | 15 seconds, this is a fun little game, but it would be cool if there were more than one level, because it's a bit short. The game makes you feel the stress too because of the pace which is cool. Good luck in judging! |
| Oct 6 11:52:12 | 10m 18s | Emily vs the Unstable Creatures | ♥ 3 | Very good quality graphics; nice, somewhat consistent style and look. The only concerns I have is that the game takes like 2 minutes to load, and the shooting felt slow and low energy, too slow paced. Other than that, the idea for the game was quite good and kept me playing for a bit. Great artwork and good luck in judging! |
| Oct 6 12:01:17 | 9m 05s | Fractured | ♥ 1 | Took me a bit to reach the third platform because it never told me to hold down shift. Also, the controls were really sensitive and I could not get very far into the game (I would recommend toning the speed down and shortening the long jumps so you can see the other side but still not make it). The sound and music were quite good though and it makes up for the controls. Nice music and good luck! |
