Latvian Milk by Dreyan 2015-05-10T17:19:00

Wonderful juicy little shooter. Great fun, good work!

Super SALT Helmet by DarkwindMedia 2015-05-10T17:15:00

This is a wonderful little arena game. Awesome tactile and audio feedback. Amazing job!

OPERATOR 42 by TravisChen 2015-05-10T17:11:00

Wonderful. Just like real life.

Static Charge 'Cleaner' 5000 by SeriouslyCrunchy 2015-05-10T16:59:00

Cute little game. It'd be nice to have bonuses for more challenging finishes (i.e. using less static discharges, or killing only via enemy bullets)

pick your poison_ by Sanguine 2015-05-10T16:57:00

The visuals were amazing. Nice little strategy game! Really nice job.

The morning type by Liam :D 2015-05-10T16:54:00

Not much theme, but managed to create quite a nice thoughtful little game. I especially liked the alarm clock sequence.

Slug Fest by jmborden 2015-05-10T16:51:00

Great little game, awesome for a first try! Nice job.

Space Boy by Hyoga-3D 2015-05-10T16:47:00

A lovely little technical design. I'd probably like a little more feedback during the dash; right now it just jumps ahead in a single frame, which I think could feel improved. Awesome work :)

The War Dog by Xinelu 2015-05-10T16:44:00

Really lovely audio and mood. A thoughtful entry, nice work.

Answer Questions by tonypai 2015-05-10T16:39:00

I really liked the idea of the game. I would like some variety in challenges, like having to answer no, or asking if what color this object is, with words in mismatched colors, etc. Nice idea :D

Dino Warriors by ito123456789 2015-05-10T16:37:00

I think it's a cute rock-paper-scissors concept for a quickplay combat game. Pacing and combat systems could use some work, but I think it'd be worth exploring more!

Soulseeker by xandy 2015-05-10T16:33:00

Great entry. I thought the enemy swap mechanic was cleanly integrated into the puzzles and quite innovative. Nice job!

Cheesy Defender by SledKnight 2015-05-10T16:29:00

Awesome first entry. I would like if it was more clear when and when you can't throw an airplane, as I'd have gaps in when I could throw that weren't completely clear. Great first entry though!

WHISTLE COMMAND by thristhart 2015-05-10T03:41:00

You're the best!

Fe-Line of Sight by davient 2015-05-10T03:38:00

The concept and implementation are wonderfully innovative, though it's rough enough around the edges that it really hurts the fun. I'd love to see this developed a little more, I love your aesthetic!

Phage Therapy by uberscientist 2015-05-10T03:13:00

I *LOVE* the aesthetic, looking down a microscope. The game itself is pretty basic and ultimately unfulfilling, but amazing work on the concept and look of the thing.

Lazy Sunday by CtrlAltTea 2015-05-10T03:10:00

I thought this was surprisingly effective. I think it would be more enjoyable with snappier controls over the old man, it feels a little mushy at the moment. Nice game!

Wax Attack by lkpridgeon 2015-05-10T03:06:00

This is a great idea, though the pace is too slow and I found it effectively impossible to lose. If it ramped up quickly, ore even had an audio-rhythm component, I could see this being a highly effective little game!

Sss by Esenti 2015-05-10T03:04:00

Reminds me of good ol' crystal quest. Great fun for how simple it is, good work!

Ninja With A Teddy Bear by agmcleod 2015-05-09T02:16:00

Funny, though spamming shift on windows asks to enable stickykeys, which makes it problematic to play. :)

Just a cookie by Babiole 2015-05-09T02:12:00

Haha this is really fun, though I am depressed it didn't let me build my throw-a-knife-tied-to-a-fishingline-with-the-leafblower-to-impale-my-enemy-like-scorpion weapon :(

Yappy Monsters! by scampie 2015-05-09T02:07:00

Yabba is OP in my opinion!!! Very funny, nice job.

Ludum Racing. Weights 20kb ! by rinat.kh 2015-05-09T02:05:00

I really like the idea of the combat racing, should give it some more development and flesh it out!

Zombies Took My Strawberry by Dungeonation 2015-05-09T02:02:00

Haha, very funny, nice work! They DID take my strawberry! oO

Hyper Memory Ocean by Yudaidhun 2015-05-09T01:58:00

Great idea :D

NO TIME TO EXPLAIN: GET IN THE LLAMA by Nidar 2015-05-07T01:21:00

Haha, some great weapons! Silly and fun, good job!

Ted by frozzare 2015-05-07T01:16:00

Simple, but it's a start! Keep going!

Love is a Weapon by MdotEdot 2015-05-07T01:15:00

Doesn't seem finished, the robots always seem to just vanish.

CurseMan by sbarrio 2015-05-07T01:13:00

Fun little entry, would have liked a stronger puzzle aspect to selecting which curse to use against which enemy.

Bubble Trubble by Jon Reid 2015-05-07T01:08:00

This is a beautifully done game. Excellent premise and really solid execution. The physics felt like it could use some tuning, but I'm sure with a couple weeks of fiddling you could get it razor sharp!

Spinnicus by NickZangus 2015-05-06T16:38:00

Awesome entry! Great job!

Spitball Shooter by ocarinasurge 2015-05-06T16:35:00

Has nice, reasonably crisp physics, though still feels a little floaty. I'd probably bump the gravity and weight of the main character a tiny bit.

Mortpuno by Celt 2015-05-06T16:30:00

Hah, very nice, thought-provoking entry. I enjoyed the stately pace.

Evil Cube: The Game by lxd1 2015-05-06T16:22:00

I really loved the visual style; I thought it was beautifully done.

Thug Life by ChaosRound 2015-05-06T16:19:00

A thoughtful essay on altruism.

Hotdog-pocalypse by adamk33n3r 2015-05-06T16:11:00

Dog-dug!

Orb Defender by Acuity 2015-05-06T16:08:00

Great audio, though I thought the pacing made it nearly impossible to play. Maybe if you had two mice controlling the combat? With keyboard, there's a real mismatch of control vs speed, imo.

Rainyblow Bash by ceosol 2015-05-06T16:03:00

Your game is terrifying, great job.

Fashion by drsr 2015-05-06T16:00:00

This was a great entry. Sort of introspecting into people's minds while they do unusual (for games) things in the context of a typing game is a great idea!

Kurt Unger by kunger47 2015-05-06T15:57:00

This was a cute game with a unique targeting mechanism. It'd be more fun if it ramped up a bit over time, I think.

Orion's Battle by w1n5t0n 2015-04-29T18:50:00

I like the concept quite a bit. It's innovative and interesting. However, the choice to reverse the controls feels a bit contrived and not very fun, though I understand the physical reasoning.

Pixloscosis by James Foley 2015-04-29T18:45:00

Good concept. Very tiny hit boxes and non-contrasting colors make it quite non-accessible. Colorblind & anyone with any sort of RSI or movement disorder will have a tough time! Audio was quite nice.

Teapot Diplomacy by kempy 2015-04-29T18:41:00

A wonderful little gem. Nice work.

Poland space program by hate-marina 2015-04-29T15:02:00

I like you.

Sliborg by Coconut Mage 2015-04-29T15:00:00

Very basic but at least there's a victory condition!

Invasion Pizza Defender ! by Lord_Vinzz 2015-04-27T17:22:00

I really enjoyed the soundtrack!

UN Convention AL Weapon by coderkeith 2015-04-27T17:17:00

Well that's very unconvention***BOOOM****

Flight by Norgg 2015-04-27T17:15:00

Wonderfully evocative. Short but sweet.

TANKED by OrangeSpikyGames 2015-04-24T06:05:00

This was really a very effective and fun rail shooter. I would have liked if the levels ended instantly when the last enemy was killed, because waiting for the end of the rail got quite tedious, especially in later levels.

Unconventional Typing by cravingsleep 2015-04-24T05:58:00

A fun idea. I think it'd be more enjoyable if you used a dictionary of real words, as well as added some downside to mistyping.

Focus Locus by revx 2015-04-23T01:01:00

Love the live action video and integration of lensing into the weapon. Awesome!

Unconventional Tower by F. Wiktora 2015-04-23T00:54:00

Awesome job for a first game!

Tungsten Orbital Destroyer by runvs 2015-04-23T00:06:00

Cute little game, though I'd have liked the weapon effects to be more substantial. The music was a wonderful throwback to the old demoscene days.

Trap For Ants by wellingtonbecker 2015-04-23T00:03:00

Ants are the natural enemy of man. Relive the halcyon days of youth.

Sun Slayer by dvdfu 2015-04-22T23:57:00

This was a lovely game, great work. <3

Score Attack! by boateye 2015-04-21T23:13:00

I thought this was a clever idea, though having only three enemies meant it was rather quick to solve. I beat it the first time. The sound was unpleasantly piercing. I think the concept could be evolved into something quite nice. Good job!

Suburban Violence by brennen 2015-04-21T23:06:00

Cute little game; I like the fact that there are a few emergent tactics (perhaps unintended) like tossing a banana on top of a cart and then ramming your opponent.

The narrator is dyxleic by madflame991 2015-04-21T23:02:00

This is a cool little puzzle game. Might make for a good time re-purposed as a competitive game, or simply a game versus a timer. I mostly just felt compelled to ignore the story and try to solve the word. I think it would be more focused and fun if it simply gave you a target work to work towards.

South by Verz 2015-04-21T22:58:00

This is a great entry! I love the mood, the audio, the graphics and the basic concept. The only hits for me were the muddled goals (requiring trial an error) and the slight hitchyness going into and out of the tower. Really excellent effort, great job.

Spudcannon by YarharALC 2015-04-21T22:48:00

I think this teaches very many valuable life lessons. Should replace geography in public school curricula.

Move Them by remiv 2015-04-21T22:11:00

I like the basic concept, though I think the range of your grab should be much better telegraphed.

UpCat by RacketHill 2015-04-21T21:26:00

The concept is good. I felt like the controls were awfully mushy feeling, and the green platforms crept up in a way that didnt' feel predictable to me. With tighter controls and better defined platform behavior, could be an addictive game!

SSD - Silly Soccer Deathmatch by philipp 2015-04-21T21:20:00

I actually like the concept here, but the left and right movement is way too unresponsive. It might actually be quite fun with a snappier, if complex, control scheme.

Waterstand by Danvil 2015-04-21T21:16:00

This was a solid little mini adventure. The grammar could use some work, but it was a fun little romp.

Mirror Knight by teamWreck 2015-04-21T21:06:00

No, it seems the exe was uploaded, not a .zip file.

Food Fight! by AtkinsSJ 2015-04-21T02:34:00

I agree that the dark green on blue was pretty unreadable.

It did succeed in making me hungry, though!

Zombie Chicken Apocalypse by salmonmoose 2015-04-21T01:46:00

Now I want to play a chicken based rhythm game.

The Cleansing of Floaro's Tomb by Hopscotch 2015-04-21T01:42:00

This is a clever game, though it might work better with marginally more predictable pathing for the workers. They'd often bunch up and just not go anywhere, which was more frustrating than fun. Very clever idea though, I think it's worth exploring more.

CRUD by block97 2015-04-21T01:39:00

The game mechanic sucks!!!1

The Banana Standoff by SloZigec 2015-04-21T01:33:00

This game has appeal.

Lemmebe by ppvk 2015-04-20T21:09:00

A sordid tale outlining the tragic realities of child stardom.

Unconventional Truth by Techblogogy 2015-04-20T21:08:00

Gorgeous, atmospheric art and music. Great composition on the levels.

Vodka by longloaf 2015-04-20T21:02:00

A social allegory for our generation, Vodka takes us deep into the troubled political underbelly of post-soviet europe.

PukeMan by Will Edwards 2015-04-20T20:58:00

I think it's a sound take on the social dangers and ethical dilemmas of binge eating and drinking in our culture.

Ion cannon by umb16 2015-04-20T20:24:00

I really loved everything about this game, great job!

SHEEP MANIA by SadSmile 2015-04-20T20:16:00

Overall a fun little game. The main drawbacks:

1. There was no way to strategize your location. The wolves seemed random, so if you were on the wrong side of the pen you simply couldn't. defend. If there was an indication of where the wolves would come from, you could eliminate that unfair randomness.

2. There's no reason not to spam your sheep, so to try to mitigate randomness you can fire sheep off towards where the wolves come from. I'd rather strategize than spam!

Smash the Elfiarchy by DevoNoel 2015-04-20T20:10:00

I think you almost reached MVP. Simply having a victory and a lose condition would have gotten there. Good job getting something minimal together, though.

One Hundred Million Screams by Secret_Tunnel 2015-04-20T20:09:00

Lovers alone wear sunlight.

Free For All Monkeys Poop Throwing Battles by isaacmarco 2015-04-20T20:08:00

I enjoyed the unconventional "health pack" mechanic.
