My Own World by Jwatt 2011-12-23T11:46:00
The physics were kind of difficult for me to handle, so I didn't get very far in the game. However, you stuck with the theme and the graphics were good, so you get points for that.

Wheeeeeee.
I love the lighting so much, I just gotta say. It was also cool how the monsters were glowing eyes in the darkness before you turned to look at them. Blasting apart those monsters was a good time, and the darkness helped enhance the feeling of being alone in a cavern. Not sure I liked the choice of yellow for the cave walls, though.
Omigosh so cute eeeeee :>
The idea was pretty good- carrying stuff around and using it to propel yourself. The graphics were definitely my favourite- So adorable. The personalities of the characters were excellent- "Sorry nya!", etc. I felt sorry for the pigs when they died :c Good game!
Very cute game. I liked the graphics a lot, and the gameplay fit the theme + was fun. Would love to see this finished!
Excellent, original concept. Audio and graphics fit with it well. SImple but brilliant.
Excellent game. Good mechanic, good art, good mood, good story.
A brilliant reimagining of the tale of the king Midas. Beautiful art, great puzzle mechanic.
Pretty good game. The graphics felt nice- I especially liked the bullet particles. I beat the game with all 25 relics, finding it pretty easy to blast through the hordes of zombies. Though you didn't really work with the theme, the mood was great, with the darkness around the player. However, the audio was really annoying- I can only guess that the player is some form of clown, judging by the squeaky sound of him walking around. Apart from that issue, the game is good.
YES. Cat ending <3
A pretty good text adventure. I disliked how closed it seemed- whenever you made a wrong turn it just spat you back to the correct place, and sometimes there was only one option. But it was still a good adventure, and I think it was a nice touch how the background colour changed with the environments. You hardly touched on the 'alone' theme, though.
Quite a nice little metroidvania, especially considering the time in which it was created. Though it didn't follow the theme very well, I had fun adventuring through the world and obliterating everything in my path (gotta love that Douse spell). The music, though good, did eventually get rather annoying. It would be nice if it changed whenever you entered a new area. The graphics were good- I really liked the tiled style of the landscape.
The mood was excellent- the way you used the limited range of vision and the sounds of robots really made the facility a creepy, lonely place. The simple graphics suit it, and the sparse audio serves to further improve the mood. Good job. Of course, one critique- the memes scattered everywhere really annoyed me. I'll give you points in humor for trying though.
The game is too laggy to be enjoyable, I'm afraid. Also, the navigation in 3D space was difficult and I think the concept could've worked just as well in 2D. The abstract graphics were plain and made it hard to judge depth properly, but they worked. The game idea is fairly innovative, and I'd like to see what you could come up with if you worked a little harder on it.
I tried to play, but the game was too laggy to actually do anything. Like, 2 frames a second. I'm on an average laptop, Windows 7, 32-bit.
Game crashes on startup for me. Windows 7, 32-bit.
That was pretty great. The theme and mood were excellent- tiny people among towering landscapes and ruins, the terror of seeing others from afar, the combination of sadness and relief at the end... Part of me really wanted to stay with the red girl, the only one who didn't hurt me when I was around here. I feel that message was powerful.
The graphics are fittingly simple, but I think some ambient music really would've brought the whole experience together into something beautiful.
It's quite good, I enjoyed chucking dice at people like a madman. The bullies were a nice touch that spiced things up. The graphics were suitable and the music fit well. Good job.
Awesome game. I'm surprised you were able to do this much in so little time.
The graphics are interesting- the style should hurt my eyes, but something about its chaoticness just WORKS, I think. It's fun to run around and cut up enemies, and I really liked exploring. The theme of 'alone' only kicked in later, but you kept to that- apart from all of the enemies. THe sounds that you did put in worked well, though it really needs a nice soundtrack to go with it. All in all, a very good game. Bravo.
I failed my task :c
The game is pretty good. I'm pretty sure most of the graphics are from Oryx or Oddball, so I can't exactly rate you on that. Exploring the world was interesting, and it did feel quite lonely. I felt the procedural, chaotic music fit the world quite well.
Not bad. The graphics and mood are very good, and the music is fitting. But the gameplay is rather lacking- holding down the right key is neither challenging nor interesting. When all of the followers had died, I figured there was nothing left to do and closed it.
Very difficult! Or maybe I'm just bad at it. I liked the graphics quite a bit. The gameplay was pretty repetitive, though I liked the challenge of juggling the gun and the cart, making progress while keeping zombies at bay. The threat of being alone made it fit well with the theme.
Well that was... Interesting.
Mediocre game. The graphics are meh and the gameplay didn't hold my attention, but the core concept was interesting. Polish it up a little and you'll have a neat little game on your hands.
The game has good graphics- though it's been done to death, I think you pulled off the voxel feel pretty well. However, aside from that, there's not much to it- the game doesn't feel fast-paced or frantic, which would make sense in a shooter like this. There was no variety in the enemies, no threat. But I think that with more work done, this little shooter could go places.
Good game! The graphics are very cute, they're probably my favourite part. The interesting creatures kept me going, but it would be interesting if there was some more variety- I'm not sure in what form, but some threat would be interesting. The sea didn't feel very lonely because I was constantly creating new friends, though. But I get the idea of alleviating loneliness by creating friends. The audio was nice and relaxing, but I think the hitboxes on the dots should be bigger- it was sometimes frustrating eating them.
Congratulations on creating your first game. The idea of shooting organs is kind of funny, so I'll give you points for that. However, the game isn't very fun- the level design is bland and without direction, the music is grating, and it barely fits with the theme. Excuse the harshness.
I hope you have better luck with your next game.
Well this is... interesting.
I don't feel you tried very hard with this. The collision is terrible, the jump sound is annoying, there's no challenge to the level design, it's short, and it's just not very fun. Also, did you do the graphics in mspaint or what?
Hm. Very good. The graphics, though simple, fit the style well. The lines of code in the background were a nice touch. I also really liked the way that you made otherwise mundane abilities interesting by wrapping them in a context of programming. I don't feel it focused on the 'alone' theme, though. The music was fitting.
This was interesting. I was unsure who the voice at the bottom was, but I found it interesting how the zombies (?) would mimic what you said. Very creepy, good atmosphere. It also felt kind of lonely, despite the others roaming about. I gave up after just trying to talk to the zombies and the disembodied voice- I don't know if there even was anything else to the game.
The mood was quite good and the game fit the theme well- the bunker did feel pretty lonely. I liked the graphics, especially the walkcycle, although the rest seemed bland and lazy in comparision. The gameplay of navigating through a maze and avoiding spinners didn't hold me for very long, though- it swung easily between frustrating and boring.
This is pretty good. I got a score of 58 in the end. Not very connected to the theme, I think, but the game entertained me for a while. With a little polish, it could really turn into something.

The White Rabbit by kato9 2013-01-02T02:16:00
Great mood, but I wished there was more. I think it could make for an interesting story- uncovering something horrible that you had chosen to forget, and then having to make the choice- forget it again, or keep it in your memory so you don't make the same mistake?
Fugitive X by frosty 2012-12-24T02:56:00
I like it! Nice moody, dystopia style setting. While I would've preferred if stealth was involved via line of sight on the robots or something, I did enjoy the innovative game play that the robots' all-encompassing awareness gave rise to.
ECHO CHAMBER by loren 2012-12-18T23:31:00
Interesting mechanic- it was nice that there was strategy in clicking rather than just chaos. The audio is fitting.
Crime Scene by saulotti 2012-12-18T20:49:00
I love it! Nifty interpretation of theme, cool graphics, and a fun and innovative mechanic. Kind of reminds me of spy party.
Bad Business Croc, Nobody Likes You by intmain 2012-12-18T20:42:00
Not your best work, but still good. The graphics were great, but the gameplay wasn't very innovative and didn't end up being very interesting. However, that suit makes me feel pretty villainous.
Alphanauts by dom2d 2012-12-18T20:32:00
I got up to room U... And that's where it all went wrong D:
I guess the 'villain' part is where you accidentally create omeganauts by pressing the wrong key?
The gameplay is innovative and very challenging towards the later levels. The graphics were good, and the music was fitting. Well done!
Kalinka Christmas by serebroff 2012-12-18T07:31:00
haha what
The graphics were... interesting, and the music was okay.
The game mechanics seem pretty simplistic, but they work.
I love the house's dance, though...
The Cropduster: A study in gaseous villainy by team-cropduster 2012-12-18T07:28:00
I really liked the music (was it made in the jam timeframe), but... Fart humor? Really? It's neither funny nor villainous :/
Atomic Creep Spawner!! by deepnight 2012-12-18T03:32:00
Great stuff! I found the hero's comments to be genuinely hurtful- it's MY dungeon, I'm sorry if you think it's a wreck ;n;
Tinysoft 2 by wurstknifte 2012-12-17T22:37:00
Interesting. The mood and theme were well done, but beyond the monologues it's basically a glorified fetch quest. Maybe some more difficult puzzles would help.
Do Not Help The Princess by sharbelfs 2012-12-17T22:30:00
The graphics were cute, but... I had no idea how to play. Clicking the buttons at the top did nothing, so I could only sit there and watch as the knights stormed the castle.
Fear Inc. by luclabelle 2012-12-17T21:50:00
The graphics are great, but the music/sounds don't really fit- too lo-fi. As for the gameplay, I found it difficult, and sometimes difficult to understand. I wasn't able to win.
X-Moon by leafo 2012-12-17T08:12:00
Great graphics- how did you even achieve that planetlike effect? I love it.
Happy Little Murder Friends by farmergnome 2012-12-17T08:10:00
Awesome game, amazing what you've done is such a small amount of time. It's fun, it has a good aesthetic- the music is a little repetitive though.
Pet Buster by Nanolotl 2012-12-17T07:42:00
Awesome little zeldalike. While combat was rather drab (it was much easier to push enemies off the edge rather than bash them to death), it's supergood.
Hunter to Hunted by Jwatt 2012-12-17T06:13:00
This game's mechanics are incredibly confusing- but perhaps that's only because of the innovation. Once you get the hang of it, the game is interesting and hides layers of complexity. I'd like to see the mechanic fleshed out more and perhaps explained better.
Burglary by TobiasW 2012-12-17T06:09:00
Very nice! I liked the mechanic of brightening/dimming your light, and I think it would be even better if more things revolved around that, rather than just lockpicking and seeing your surroundings. Maybe light-based sensors or something, I don't know.
Minions by ripter 2012-12-17T05:27:00
While the idea is interesting, the game lacks challenge. Really, all you're doing is clicking in the correct sequence so that you can amass enough forces to storm the next town. However, it would be interesting if the actual fight against the town could be played out, with the outcome changing based on how skillfully you command your troops.
The Good Doctor by Sestren 2012-12-17T04:11:00
Quite a sad game- depicting the plague as a traveler with no home is rather depressing.
social commentary by zaratustra 2012-12-17T04:02:00
Good social commentary. It would've been nice if there was a way to close up shop or something- can you, once you get enough money?
You are Bankster! by Deril 2012-12-17T03:58:00
Good message to deliver. Audio is quite annoying, but so are bankers, so I guess it's fitting? Would be interesting if the workers had less linear paths to follow.
Growth by Manuel 2012-12-17T03:55:00
Well, that was depressing :c
The gameplay was repetitive, but the mood made up for it. Cancer sucks.
Curse You! by caasi 2012-12-17T03:53:00
Nice little game you have here. I really like the villain's runcycle, as well as the rather humorous theme. Could be improved by some chase music, or perhaps changes in terrain that you need to jump over.
Storm the Castle by vanZeben 2012-12-17T03:50:00
While the music is enjoyable and the graphics are good, this game lacks challenge. Basically, all you have to do is find the unit with just the right amount of health to get past the obstacles and send as many of it as you need to win. This could be fixed by adding more decisions to make- maybe certain units could be good against certain towers, maybe you could pick multiple paths, or maybe you could strategically destroy/move towers around.
Sleeping Dragon by ethankennerly 2012-12-17T03:45:00
Interesting one-button game. However, it's not particularly difficult- it was easy to just continuously breathe fire with a little timing practice. The mechanic, however, is sound. With improvement and polish, it could make a really cool game- fitting for a mobile platform or the like.
