Snowman Assassin by aDFP 2014-12-13T00:44:00

I have to agree to that cross-hairs would be very helpful. It is very difficult to aim besides spamming fire to see where you hit. Nice work!

The Paper Dance by TravisChen 2014-12-12T21:08:00

Nice. I liked this one. Controls felt a little cumbersome and I kept getting hung up on the scenery, and I forgot that I could jump, so the black dancers pretty much overwhelmed me until the very end. Really good interactive experience.

Orion by feiss 2014-12-12T19:04:00

Loved it. This was my favorite out of all the ones I've played so far. It's a great little experience.
The effort put into it really shows.
I don't think it's weird that people expect science or realism. We did a game that had strong roots in biology, and people loved that part of it. They loved that realism. Finding that perfect line between fantasy and realism can sometimes be a challenge, especially for simulation games like this. You've done a great job so far though.

Light in the Dark by Olive 2014-12-12T04:34:00

Nice to see another interactive fiction. We did a game in Twine too.
Felt just a little too linear for me, but the choices suited the story well, so it was okay.
I think a lot of readers will only play through once, so you may want to make the hook a little more obvious in all of your branches. That would probably help people come back to make different choices as well.

The Tower by Chaoseed 2014-12-12T04:26:00

Reminds me a little of A Dark Room, somehow. Maybe it's just the feel of it. Really liked the layout of it.
It's not Twine, is it?

Scan Lines by KilledByAPixel 2014-12-12T03:26:00

Really like this one. I'm a fan of platforming, especially on the trickier side. This one wasn't super punishing, which was nice. Sometimes you couldn't react until after you've seen the scanline play out, but there were places whre I saw you indicated future platforms and things, which was cool. Maybe try and make that more obvious.

VanHellscreen by grimgraybeard 2014-12-12T03:06:00

This was a fabulous idea, the learning curve is just a little too mean. Even just using the arrow keys to direct the spell direction would make things much more fun. I loved the idea behind it, this is a really awesome skill based game, and not just twitch reflex skill either. Right now its just a little harsh. Maybe some training levels might help remove some of that, and instill some muscle/brain memory in players. If you do your tutorial right, you probably wouldn't even need to adjust the current control scheme much.

Fido, Fiona & Fidel by pjimmy 2014-12-12T02:56:00

Took me a bit but I finally got it. Wasn't really trusting the cat and dog at all, but I guess that's how it's supposed to go, based in the description. Maybe I just wanted it more like that traditional logic puzzle, one constant liar and one constant truth-teller.

Snowman Survival by CoderDozer 2014-12-12T02:46:00

Nice little game, was made a little difficult by the auto-harvesting and movement. I also couldn't find any way to restart the game after a loss without refreshing the entire page.

REPROPULSOR by blackcode 2014-12-12T02:13:00

I agree that this is a good run at a Super Meat Boy style game but the difficulty curve could be a bit smoother. The character is too floaty even if he is supposed to be hard to control. It was very fun to play for the first first runs though!

DisChord by Grindstorm 2014-12-12T01:58:00

This is a pretty solid puzzle game. It may not be the most original idea, but the design is very appealing. The level design may become a bit monotonous but overall, well done.

Pixplorer by Nega Drive 2014-12-12T00:15:00

Jumps felt pretty floaty. Wasn't a bad thing, just sometimes I wanted to be able to execute smaller ones, which was sometimes hard.

Kaiser by oscarabraham 2014-12-11T23:32:00

Page also scrolls down for me whenever you drop a bomb. It eventually stops, but the top of the window is cut off. This is playing "on Chrome, on a nice computer" but not in fullscreen mode.

Pipe Quest by Hot Box Games 2014-12-11T22:33:00

We've done some work on a tricky platformer ourselves. It's easy for devs to get too used to the controls of their own game, and so opinions from unbiased playtesters are good.

PeriPheral by RobustInteractive 2014-12-11T04:13:00

Like the idea behind it, has a original feel to it. Energy meter wasn't obvious for me either. It also felt like the lightning bolts stopped spawning. I would get a few, right at the beginning, but then no more would appear and I would eventually lose because of it.

RailGunner by KunoNoOni 2014-12-11T03:59:00

Nice job, especially for less than 18 hours. Solid little shooter. Difficulty curve does a little steep. I think the first wave at least should be a little easier to allow the player a little bit of time to get used to the game/mechanics/controls.

Galvatross by ShuddaHaddaLottaFun 2014-12-11T02:10:00

Like the idea behind it. Flying did feel a little stiff, and I didn't realize I needed to protect my portal until I fully read your description. I just flew around killing things, and picking up drops. I also didn't realize where the indicator for my lives was until my second playthrough, and sort of wished I could see my score as well.

Pixel Platform by Shivur 2014-12-11T01:59:00

Seconding the critiques about collisions, especially for the stones above the lava. I fell through that middle pillar at the end multiple times. You also couldn't move left and right fluidly in places because you got hung up on the terrain, and jumping was the only reliable form of movement.

Lil Dungeon Wizard by BoaHeck_ArtGent 2014-12-11T01:44:00

Cute game. But it froze up completely during the boss fight every time I tried to run it. Felt like some BGM was also needed. Loved the randomly generated levels though. Increases the replay value.

Summoning of the Santa by Slothmachine 2014-12-10T19:44:00

Nice little puzzle game. The Box was definitely my favorite. I had the most trouble with The Tree, I had a problem seeing "the pattern" I guess. Compared to the other two, in time spent on them and difficulty level, the last puzzle seemed kind of simple. I really liked this one though, having different sorts of puzzles makes you think.

He Did it With One Screen by NonameDev 2014-12-10T04:53:00

Nice interactive art piece that memorializes the accomplishments of one of the firsts.

Snake Rider by ETHproductions 2014-12-10T04:45:00

Neat idea, and a nice little game. Movement feels a little slippery, which works (looks at games like Super Meat Boy), but if you're going for that effect try and tighten up and polish the physics there.
Sometimes power-ups would appear right under/next to me, which sucked when they were negatives ones. Power-ups are pretty crucial to this game, so try and make them shine. Maybe some new ones that change the Snake's behavior.
Having another snake for multi-platform movement would be cool. Maybe different levels, some w/ obstacles? Works great as is, but that's one way to spice if up if you were trying.

Myopia by Team Myopia 2014-12-10T04:20:00

Great visuals, but I struggled with a few things, and as a result, couldn't get past the first scrolling level.
I had to run it in fullscreen, which isn't a problem, but in windowed mode, the camera was locked onto the goal point.
I also don't know if this was intended, because the screenshots show a white box, but I have nothing to indicate where the PC is on screen, other than a pink haze.

Beat+Trak by Lynx 2014-12-10T04:02:00

It's rhythm based level generation, as opposed to requiring more rhythm skills from your players. It felt a little like the timing was off, I needed to press down before I reached the blue notes, early, in order to collect the whole bar.

☃ Jingle Calls ☃ by C63 Industries 2014-12-10T03:39:00

Seconding the constructive criticism from everyone. Felt like I could hang up on people, or transfer them, and they'd just call back to continue the conversation where they left off, with no context whatsoever. Couldn't win or lose, only see the story unfold with no clear end. Characters were all great, I wanted hear from more people, helped in part because I wanted the same ones to stop calling me.

Stasis by prymidion 2014-12-10T03:19:00

I like the idea behind it. The time put into level design shows. It'd be cool if you could implement some way to plan ahead better, perhaps being able to look at the level layout for all future levels and needing to remember each one or something, like Concentration. But harder.
Also, if you're planning on taking this game further in the future, you can currently place blocks outside the playing zone. Just something I noticed.

Galactyc Budget Flights by zkenshin 2014-12-10T02:15:00

Have you ever played Space Alert (or Galaxy Trucker, which is set in the same universe)? Space Alert's a cooperative board game. Your game has a bit of a similar feel to it, in story and mechanics. Which is pretty cool.
The stability mechanic took me a little to figure out. What I was supposed to do there (rapid tapping, not just one direction or the other) to control it wasn't immediately clear.

Spiral Wings by Joe Williamson 2014-12-10T00:16:00

It's a very solid interactive experience. Art and sound are all great, as is the story. Story doesn't break any new ground, and the ending could have been a little stronger I feel, but the piece as a whole really works. The movement of the dragon is part of what really sells it, the flying is dynamic and natural. Beautiful piece of interactive art.
