Oct 3 15:52:18 Cascading Failures ♥ 1 Nice idea. Kind of reminds me of a hectic version of Faster Than Light. While a liked the idea, it's currently a bit tricky to navigate around the ship and I tended to get stuck on things, but you can't have everything in a game made in 48h. Well done!
Oct 3 15:57:23 5m 05s Centerguard ♥ 1 Well executed idea and quite addictive as well! Sort of like an inverted take on asteroids. The graphics were simple and to the point. Well done!
Oct 3 16:02:58 5m 35s NetCast ♥ 1 I agree with @zioxindiedev , it's a really neat idea. Though I was way too difficult for me. I think a small tutorial or a simpler starting level would have helped a little.
Oct 3 16:06:42 3m 44s Chain Destruction ♥ 1 Really liked the graphics and the game was quite addictive. Nice touch that colliding with the enemies spreads them apart so you have to be careful to not tag along with them too early. Well done!
Oct 3 16:19:15 12m 33s Memento Mori ♥ 1 Nice idea. It took a little while for it sink in that all I really needed to do was exactly what was in the description. Avoid the reapers and collect the clues. Sometimes I would end up in an area that was completely disconnected from the other platforms and the reaper would show up, which seemed a bit unfair but all and all a really well executed idea. Well done!
Oct 3 17:50:00 1h 30m Vampire 2 The Post Prequel ♥ 0 Seems ok given that you didn't have much time. The main thing that I miss is a score counter- With that and a slightly faster pace I think it would be the start of an interesting score chaser game.
Oct 3 18:01:46 11m 46s Meteor Rain - LD51 ♥ 3 Challenging game. I had a bit of an issue with the shooting until I read the text carefully 😄 I liked the meteor shower. Nicely done!
Oct 3 18:04:53 3m 07s Plue ♥ 1 Really nice fast paced game. I didn't have anyone to play with and playing two players at the same time get pretty boring after a while so I would've liked a single player version. I really like the graphics, so simple yet effective! Well done!
Oct 3 18:09:08 4m 15s 10 Seconds ♥ 0 11700 points! Sometimes it's the simple ones that surprise me. I found this really addictive and I actually enjoyed the simple geometry graphics. Well done! Time to have another go.. 11700 feel really low 😅
Oct 3 18:13:47 4m 39s Expanse Range ♥ 1 Looks great and the environment matches the music perfectly. Personally I can never get used to games that require me to switch between scope- and regular- views, so I would've preferred having a different targeting mechanism.
Oct 3 18:17:28 3m 41s Mass Battle ♥ 0 Uhm, I think you've forgotten to publish the game?
Oct 3 18:25:29 8m 01s The 10 Seconds Game ♥ 0 Wow it really got tricky fast. Funny idea though, I wasn't expected a button clicking game 😄
Oct 3 18:36:59 11m 30s Werewolf hunt ♥ 0 Nice use of the theme! I think the game would benefit from a larger playing area to give the player a better change to avoid the villagers during day time. Ooh and maybe some bonuses. "Werewolf dash" to be able to dash and then slash more villagers in a shorter time?
Oct 3 18:46:24 9m 25s Freight Frenzy ♥ 1 Wow. It took a couple of tries to get hang of it. A bit like Tetris and at the same time the use of the mouse makes it quite different. Well done!
Oct 3 18:53:07 6m 43s My 1st Game: Water Ball Challenge 10S ♥ 3 Neat idea. I really liked how if you plan strategically you get a lot of reuse of each ball by getting it to bounce back at the boxes. I think the game was a little too easy. I could just point the cannon right up and make it through all the levels.
Oct 3 18:58:28 5m 21s Ghost in the Wizards House ♥ 0 Very on theme with the glowing only lasting for 10 seconds but the game crashed after I found the first ghost? Are there more levels? Also after that the game no longer loads at all..
Oct 3 19:08:49 10m 21s The Blood Tree ♥ 1 Very nice graphics but I agree with @robowarrior1982 it needs feedback of some kind to make it easier to understand. A like how the grim story is in stark contrast to light and cheerful atmosphere in the game 😄
Oct 3 19:17:14 8m 25s Far. ♥ 3 The web version seemed to work just fine for me (using Chrome). Nice atmospheric game, a bit too slow for my liking. I would've been nice to be able to look at the upgrade recipes when off-ship to make it easier to determine which rocks to prioritize.
Oct 3 20:14:19 57m 05s 10 Seconds Til Spawn ♥ 2 Nice idea! The 10 seconds lifespan makes for some really interesting strategies when controlling the droids.
Oct 3 20:20:33 6m 14s Pulsar Cycle ♥ 0 A bit confused about what I'm supposed to do? I walked to the pod thingy, avoiding the colonist and the game was over? Still, good work anyway! It's not easy learning a new library, during a 48h compo and actually produce anything.
Oct 3 20:25:18 4m 45s Maze Mouse ♥ 1 Frustratingly difficult due to the slow camera but I agree with @busisen that the concept of learning the map gradually on each loop is quit nice!
Oct 4 18:33:53 22h 08m Raiding By Myself ♥ 1 This was amazing! What a great idea for this theme! Well done! The puzzles were really fun and well balanced. Definitely my favourite game so far!
Oct 4 18:42:45 8m 52s Switch and Click ♥ 1 The card matching was nice and I liked the idea of having to toggle between 3 games, it really messes with your mind 😅 . However I couldn't really get a hang of the last two games. It felt like the droid thingy was stuck.
Oct 4 18:56:08 13m 23s 1000 Meters to Shade ♥ 1 You really aced the execution on this one. When I first read what a was supposed to do, I thought it was going to be boring but the combination of graphics, music and a really nice feel in the game play mechanics made this great. Well done!
Oct 4 19:12:25 16m 17s The Little Bot That Could ♥ 1 Congratulation on your first game jam! You did really well. I liked how the upgrades made the rest of the playing area accessible and how some of the cogs felt like they were juust precisely out of reach. Well done!
Oct 4 19:18:39 6m 14s Ten Seconds Again ♥ 1 Excellent music! The special attack was really clever, especially how it was possible pick up the "coins" again if you were fast enough. Nice game!
Oct 4 19:37:58 19m 19s Your Little World ♥ 1 Nice game, what intrigued me was that I couldn't really figure out what the resource cycle was. Clever idea! Well done!
Oct 4 19:46:03 8m 05s SALARYMEN CHALLENGE ♥ 1 Haha the was really weird but in a good way 😄 Love the dialogue! Always fun with a unique take on the theme to keep you on you toes. The game was the right length though, any longer and it would've been boring.
Oct 4 19:53:20 7m 17s Artful Arrows ♥ 0 Reminded my of a simple version of Angry birds or a really old trajectory game I played back on an old Macintosh. Very simple but addictive gameplayer! I didn't find the controls very intuitive, but I guess they're probably better suited for a touch screen?
Oct 4 19:57:35 4m 15s Ten Second Gunner ♥ 1 Oh my goodness that was super hard! But the nice thing with the fast pace was that I just kept on trying. It helps that I really like old arcade games 😄
Oct 4 20:08:15 10m 40s Avery Ten 2ndth: Savior of Cleveland ♥ 1 Ok that was just hilarious, completely bonkers and very enjoyable! Well done!
Oct 5 04:56:12 8h 47m L.A.R.K. ♥ 1 Congratulations on completing your first game jam! The game reminded my lemmings slightly but the really clever thing you did was just focus the puzzles round a single ability make it very easy to grasp and still hard to master. Well done! You're first game is a lot better than most of the games I've made and I've done this 24 times 😅
Oct 5 05:03:56 7m 44s Cursed Hotel ♥ 1 Interesting take on the theme, I like the idea. I think I couple more different kinds of hotel disasters and you'd have a nice management sim.
Oct 5 16:40:09 11h 36m Chronoblink ♥ 2 Took a couple of tries before I understood the mechanics but it was pretty cool after that. Well done! I would've probably liked a little more guidance. I'm sort of suck at pinpointing things with a mouse, so a bit more auto aim when I'm getting close to the target with an indicator that I'm on target would've been nice 😄
Oct 5 16:49:54 9m 45s Bug Zapper ♥ 2 I have to agree with other in the comments section. I think this would've been a better touch-screen game. Flailing about with the mouse pointer like a mad man never really works for me, I just haven't got the precision for it 😄 Other than that it was an interesting take on the theme. Well done!
Oct 5 16:55:45 5m 51s J-Menuing ♥ 1 Having never played a JRPG and only watched others do it I wasn't really sure what I was getting into here 😄 Luckily you made it easy enough for beginners to understand. Well done! Not an easy task in itself.
Oct 5 17:01:55 6m 10s Compulsive Jousting ♥ 2 Played this a similar joust game on my C64 the other day (the game was called "Joust"). This is a really nice adaption of the same idea and properly modernized with cute graphics, nice music and easier controls. I really liked it. Well done in a well executed game idea!
Oct 5 17:06:07 4m 12s Word Search Point and click game ♥ 1 I didn't read your comment until after playing the first time and I really couldn't make sense of the game. To improve players impression of your game I suggest moving your comment into the description. Other than that it was a fun little mash'up. Well done!
Oct 5 17:14:11 8m 04s Planet survival ♥ 1 I liked the music but had hard time getting the hang of the ship controls. I would've liked a "you last NNN minutes before your planet exploded" at the end 😄
Oct 5 17:39:07 24m 56s Bobo's Happiness Factory ♥ 1 Wow that was hectic. I think I would prefer this on a touch screen. The idea was nice and novel and the game was very well balanced. It it had been harder I would've given up but this just kept me playing for quite some time which made me quite committed to getting better at it. Well done!
Oct 5 17:44:23 5m 16s Disco Roller ♥ 1 Wow! Really liked this game! Great vibe, pretty graphics, groovy music and good controls. Just a great game. You really should keep developing this after the jam. Really impressive work. Well done!
Oct 5 17:52:34 8m 11s Motor Dime ♥ 1 Wow I complete racing game and A LOT of content! Well done. The 10 second limit was ok it was just awkward spending a lot of time getting back to and onto the bike which was the part that was fun, i.e. trying to figure out how to efficiently slow down in time for the abrupt stop 😄 Still, really impressive for 48h compo!
Oct 5 18:00:58 8m 24s Shimash ♥ 1 100.36! Given my terrible reflexes I'm pretty happy with that score 😄 There's been a couple of multi-game-switching-games so far and I can tell you that this one is so far the best one of them all. I think you got the pacing right and the difficulty is decent enough that the game starts of as a fun challenge and then becomes addictively demanding. Well done!
Oct 5 18:11:25 10m 27s You and Floor ♥ 1 Interesting idea to change the level around the character like that, I found the character movement (especially jumping) a bit sluggish. Other than that it was fun game to play! Well done!
Oct 5 18:16:19 4m 54s mood swing simulator ♥ 1 Nice Pacman style game. I really liked the "down swing" music. Very cool! I felt that the collision detection was a bit unforgiving but there's only 48h so that's understandable. Well done!
Oct 5 18:37:11 20m 52s Black Zen White ♥ 1 Congratulation on completing you first game jam! And what a great game! Loved the sound effects and the puzzles were just the right difficulty for me. I think the sprite were perfect for the game as well. You should definitely keep on developing this after the jam. Well done! I also got to the bonus level but didn't get to the end of it... Time to back and try again.
Oct 5 18:45:13 8m 02s Escape the.. something ♥ 1 Interesting take on an endless runner with the changing landscape. The landscape feels a bit unfair at times especially during the switches, but rather than make the randomizer kinder I would suggest maybe making the player smaller and the platforms thinner so there's a bit more space to navigate around blocks that might be a bit too close to each other otherwise.
