Where am I? by AgentParsec 2012-09-09T19:18:00

I played this in the dark with headsets. this is what I call good horror and suspense! No monsters or anything that; just great sound and suspense!
It is not really close to the theme but this is definitely one of my favorites...

The Underglen by Derek Brown 2012-09-09T13:30:00

for me it says "hotlinking not allowed" when i click the "Web" link.

Negemon by 01010111 2012-09-09T13:28:00

not a big fan of the pokemon genre but i have to say that i really like the sound and visual style of the game. feels 100% like a good old gameboy game!

Gene Jumble by ae12687 2012-09-09T13:25:00

had a hard time getting what is the goal of the game.
really liked the music though. did it yourself?

LimiT by Sakuyan 2012-09-05T21:25:00

the best game i have seen so far.
the pixelart is amazing! you did all this in the 48h? i am impressed!
I love the animations of the entities; espcially the bird and the tail-wacking of the dinosaur. I love the ending. I love the general fell of the controls and the mood in general. i think sound could have added a lot to this; but hey: its only 48h and you have to compromise on something if you have such high-polished pixel-art...

Cytosine by Frozen Fractal 2012-09-04T20:14:00

the old game concepts are the best. you cannot do anything wrong with space invaders for me. loved it. plays nice: nice controls, nice alien movements.
but could not find so much that the aliens are actually evolving; seemed more that they got easier; but that might also have been just the perceived impression as you get better over time...

Move forward by michax 2012-09-02T17:04:00

it took me some time to get that i can drag the stones/ice with the mouse...
as most people commented: it is quiet short but visually a treat!

EVO-001 by kyyrma 2012-09-02T15:46:00

nice side-scroll shooter. liked the sound and explosion animations.
if i would not like it hard, i would criticize the same as you said for my game: one-hit game-over makes it hard... :-)

Apoptosis by TerribleWalrus 2012-09-02T14:38:00

congratulations to your first completed LD!
i think the game would feel better if you could move the player faster. also, sometimes the key-pressed seem to not be detected and he game seem to hang for a second or so...

Lolicopocalypse by quasist 2012-09-02T14:06:00

weird game. i like it a lot! :-)
also, very nice how the camera follows the players movement with a delay.

The life of Cat by Amoaeba Junior 2012-09-02T10:36:00

this was great... and sad at once!
really, really enjoyed the jumping-animation of the cat (of the young cat ;-)). just felt great. well done!

Mad Scientist Monster Maker by frosty 2012-09-02T10:27:00

this is hard. had anyone completed the game?
anyway: great idea and execution. also like it how the screen shakes when the creature moves.

Evu for life by dector 2012-09-02T10:22:00

getting quiet hard :-)
the level-completion-sound is a little "agressive" and makes me always feel like losing the level. but then i am happy to see the next level beeing started :-)

Lab Experiment Demo by Threef 2012-09-02T10:16:00

(wall) jumping doesn't seem to work for me.

B07s by Moebius 2012-09-01T21:12:00

nice game with nice graphics. could maybe use some more sound to support the atmosphere but except from that it plays nicely.

how much time did you spent to learn JMonkey to acomplish something like this? just out of curiosity because I just heard about it...

Uberlution by Robotic 2012-09-01T16:00:00

one of the best games i have player so far: good mix between polished graphics, sound and actually matching the theme. liked rather surprising ending. nice!

EvoCube: Epoch Victorious by kratorspore 2012-09-01T09:04:00

really nice game from the graphics style, sound and game idea. love the round-based movements. though takes some time to get used to. sometimes stood still to wait for the red cube to move away until i remember nothing will happen until i move :-D

Super Charles Darwin by gnx 2012-09-01T08:57:00

nice sounds and graphics style. character feels a little to heavy for me. would maybe improve gameplay if the character was a little more "sportive" :-)

Iterate by Roupette 2012-09-01T08:55:00

maybe think about creating a version that does not require installation. doing an installation always leave a bad taste in your mouth and a lot of people will not do it; me included. Looks really nice though and would love to try it.

The SuperBugs by Josh @ Dreamland 2012-08-31T06:24:00

you must have been working until the last minute; no time left to make the character turn right? :-)

Super Devolution Man by bitlit 2012-08-31T06:18:00

the side-view of the character in combination with top-down levels and controls was a little confusing at first.
i like the initial animation that scrolled to the player start-position.

Resolute by RosyPenguin 2012-08-31T06:15:00

it is easy to see that you have experience as an artist. even though it is a simple visual still it feels consistent and really nice looking. like it a lot!

Evoship by Punga 2012-08-30T21:48:00

could have used some audio and visual feedback. but nice game for your first LD entry.

BLOCKVOLVE by Danilo Bezerra 2012-08-30T21:44:00

i won :-)
so simple, but so addictive. nice game.
what i did not like is how the bubble often appear from nowhere. i personally would find it more fair if the always fly in from the top or bottom border of the screen.

Pixels through time by Arsenio117 2012-08-30T21:37:00

same as others. win7 (64 bit) and java 1.6.

My Pairs and Me by Evilion 2012-08-30T21:30:00

was rather confused by the game. but i guess it was the same for the people that meet the real messiah. so, great mood! :-)

Arctic Upgrade by Manuel Magalhães 2012-08-30T21:27:00

like the chiptunes. any good tutorial on it that you can recommend?

Evolving Robot Siege by karolus 2012-08-30T20:57:00

you should provide a seperate zip for the actual game. very hard to find the executable in the folder-structure of the visual studio project...

Oculus Battalion by Maxium 2012-08-30T20:50:00

like the graphics style.

UPix by Xaychru04 2012-08-30T20:43:00

does not start up.

My Pet Monster by rxi 2012-08-30T20:41:00

like the controls, graphics and general feel to the game. just plays very nicely. add a nice soundtrack and you have a jnr that can take it up with mario or giana sisters.

Robot Panic by Oliver Simon 2012-08-29T06:34:00

nice game that you have to play alot to finish. or you have to be able to look in the future ;-)
the ambient music is not mine though. could be more "aggressive" to fit the game...

Doug Bones - Fossil Collector by wibblymat 2012-08-28T21:43:00

man, this is actually quiet hard. was not able to get up the zig-zag path right after the water. anyway, nice feal to the characters jump.

Chrysalis Choice by RobKat 2012-08-27T21:00:00

a very art-like game. i did not know what i was doing, but i continued doing it because it was quiet relaxing and interesting. nice music.

EvoDragon by PixelOaks 2012-08-27T20:57:00

ahhhh; the purple "pigs" drove me into a corner and i was stuck. like the visual tone of the game very much though. nice and polished.

GeometryEvo by dvdking 2012-08-27T20:55:00

always nice to see what difference fullscreen mode can make for a game. liked the overall tone of the game.

Cubevo by NostraDamon 2012-08-27T20:52:00

did not really get what i have to do and why i can evolve the cubes but the graphics style is nice. also the sound is relaxing.

Mech Creature by Ramutra 2012-08-27T20:29:00

Error: "You need the August 2008 DirectX update in order to run this application.". OS: Win 7 64 Bit.

Bear Selection(Web) by darkshadow 2012-08-27T20:28:00

the game is quiet slow in pace. not so much for me.
i like that you did it as a browser game. too many entries still require to download an executable.

TOWER OFFENSE by Graf_Grun 2012-08-27T20:23:00

download is quiet slow...
27 minutes remaining... then you get a rating :-)

Get the cake Cube Guy by tumoxep 2012-08-27T20:20:00

controls don't seem to work; pressed almost every possible key but no reaction by the character. also trying firefox and chrome did not help.

Bacon Lettuce & Tomato Evolution for the SNES by cdoty 2012-08-27T20:16:00

can you maybe recommend (if there is) a web-based snes emulator? might help to get a higher exposure and more ratings...

Probes of fury by zeoverlord 2012-08-27T20:13:00

only see the blue sky appear after the menu. nothing else... (at least it is the same color as in the screenshot). let me know if you can fix it; will rate then.

Deal with It by midgard 2012-08-27T20:10:00

uff; this is a little hard. and reminded my of "super meat boy". which is good! :-)

just searched for "meat" in the comments befor pressing "save": yes, not the only one that is reminded by it... :-)

Dawn by SteelRaven7 2012-08-27T20:07:00

love the visual style of a somewhat "2 1/2 D" Jump-and-Run. I have to remember this for a future LD myself :-)
i dig the palm swinging with the wind!

like some others: no fan of "find out the controls for yourself". even though if you say it is not hard, think from the perspective of someone that knows nothing of the game: how do I know I have found all controls. it is always the feeling of playing the game and not having discovered all features; at least for me.

but visually a great game!

Path of the Warrior by akovaski 2012-08-27T19:58:00

I think the game needs a description. Was not able to find out what the goal is. The devil looks funny, though :-)

Genotype by Filth 2012-08-27T19:17:00

visually a nice game; controls are not so nice with german keyboard as "y" and "z" are interchanged compared to the US layout.

Human Evolution by emveyh 2012-08-27T19:10:00

the game is actually quiet hard. might be due to the complex controls...
nice though that you did it from scratch without using any frameworks.

SUPER ROBOT EVOLUTION. by LiteLab 2012-08-27T18:44:00

nice feel to the game (style and controls). did not understand though, if there is a goal. just seems like new enemies a spawning forever...

Genvaders by celeron55 2012-08-27T18:40:00

Score: 3360
For me, you cannot do anything wrong with a space-invaders clone. liked it.

Super-Human by talhakaya 2012-08-27T18:35:00

i don't like the sounds and music very much. graphics are nice though.

Xelution - Game of Time by tryzor 2012-08-27T18:20:00

you should host the game on dropbox or similar. the download i was getting was a setup.exe and was not sure if i clicked on some wrong popup and might be actually downloading malware now...
so, did not play it, if the setup.exe was the actual thing...

Breaking Through The Deepest Nightmare Evolution by Alex Shestakov 2012-08-27T18:18:00

Get an error telling me MSVCP100.dll is missing on my system.

Evolution - Caveman by siondream 2012-08-27T18:14:00

really would like to play but don't have Java 1.7 at hand...

Strike of Rage ! by deepnight 2012-08-27T17:36:00

great game. feeling inspired to try to get a raise tomorrow ;-)
great visual style and gameplay. looking forward to see the sources. still polishing the up? :-)

Germ Super Spy by LeetLeaf 2012-08-27T17:32:00

like the visual style of the game alot.

Cow (Game about evolution of the game) by LemonTree 2012-08-27T17:31:00

liked the text-based level and a lot of diversity in general.

Unnatural Selection by Porter 2012-08-27T17:28:00

you definitively should follow up on this concept after the compo. nice pixel art (especially the character animation), nice sound and a great overall feel.

Project "E" by RobProductions 2012-08-27T17:25:00

there is a nice mood to the game. i guess it is the "snow-flakes"; feels like winter and I love winter :-)

Blobber by Mstrp2ez 2012-08-27T17:20:00

i like the moving/crawling sound of the creature... :-)

How Mosquito Became Human by SaintHeiser 2012-08-27T17:00:00

this i actually quiet hard. nice pixel art and feel to the game. very nice controls.

Super Robocade by VoEC 2012-08-27T16:55:00

nice. i loved super mario bros. but actually harder then the original.

deevo by TheSheep 2012-08-27T16:48:00

I love the graphics. Could use some minimal sound to make it even better.
