Who is the villain? by davidllanos22 2013-01-04T06:56:00

nice idea -- had a board game just like this as a kid -- but very boring in execution. I played three times: won the first two in two rounds, due to the limited number of traits to choose from, thereby almost immediately weeding out my opponent's identity. The third round my villain was "null", and I lost. I have no idea what that meant. Also doesn't make sense that my villain is still among the choices each time -- he/she ought to be removed from the lineup.

Muffin the Destroyer by Beanalby 2012-12-18T06:02:00

when i booted it up, i groaned and thought "another stupid cat game, and an ugly one to boot". i almost closed it, but decided i'd play past the tutorial anyway.

i'm SO glad i did! that was hysterical!

Spread by mailman105 2012-12-21T21:25:00

the flames always appeared above my head instead of at the proper place.

Super Meter Maid by drmanitoba 2012-12-22T03:51:00

game wouldn't run, and I'm not sure why. it tried to run; then sat there with the "not responding" message and never changed.

Evil Inc. by DWallin 2012-12-18T06:40:00

it looks good and it's a potentially fun premise; but as-is, it's just dull. all i really do is watch numbers go up and click a button when i can afford something. i hope you expand on it after judging is over and make it into something really fun.

Regnant by phaze0 2012-12-18T06:17:00

i really dig the scribbly art. will try getting into this more in-depth later.

Vixen by bentosmile 2012-12-29T09:42:00

the lack of audio made the text much more effective (nice graphics too). overall a fascinating little game. really gives the player a taste of how little a person's feelings mean to a bully.

In My Evil Dream by pirate-rob 2012-12-18T22:31:00

the screen port isn't great for me -- the font and some graphics are squiggly around the edges. and while the idea of corrupting a good dream into a nightmare is great, the execution is pretty weak. the music's adorable though.

Hunt by someone 2012-12-18T23:21:00

plays all right but gets dull quickly. the units all seem the same, but wearing different costumes.

Nosferatu by jerombd 2012-12-18T06:12:00

stylistically its fantastic -- there's something very appealing about speccy graphics. but i was never sure i knew what i was doing, and the bad collision detection made me stop caring in a hurry. would love to see this expanded on though.

Lumberjack by BrothersT 2012-12-21T01:23:00

dude, you missed the bus by not calling this "Lumberjerk".

Trina of The Depths by Christina Antoinette Neofotistou 2012-12-29T10:05:00

sooo cuuuute!

yeah, with story and refinement it'll be better for sure. i don't think the control scheme is terrible; trina's "falling" rate, however, could really use adjustment. if she were to "float" rather than sink like a rock, controlling her might actually be kinda fun.

Cure 48 by SonnyBone 2012-12-22T00:10:00

was a little disappointed that the end text doesn't change based on whether you're hero or villain. i played right into your hands, though, and felt like a shithead for killing that one poor blobby.

Bank of innocence by jamezogamer101 2012-12-24T10:00:00

freezes about a second after i blow the bank.

Ekil-Eguor by Zabot 2012-12-18T22:12:00

essentially a poor man's Dungeon Keeper -- which is cool, since Dungeon Keeper rocked. would be nice if there WAS a menu to return to though, so i don't have to refresh and deal with pop-ups when i want to restart. also, the hero seems to freeze after grabbing money sacks; and in its current build there seems to be no reason to do anything other than fill a large room with minions to swarm and kill the heroes. Loads of potential though.

London Bridges by LPGhatguy 2012-12-24T09:50:00

very cute and fun, although i wasn't too crazy about having to change views between the upper and lower level. the voice work and music really do raise this game from "neat" to "fantastic".

debatable whether i'm really the villain, though: it's self-preservation!

Rex (Applet) by Bouyer 2012-12-29T21:34:00

super funny! couldn't beat the hunter dude, even by throwing barrels at him. hilariously executed concept though.

Cookie Caper by commanderstitch 2012-12-24T10:05:00

not bad, has a nice bizarro vibe to it, and the bubble attack is pretty sweet. but could be a lot better. random enemy placement is terrible: they either bunch together in wads of death or start off stuck inside walls. and the minute i got a cookie i was killed by a bullshit stampede of angry cats.

Bad Kitty by aare 2012-12-19T23:13:00

this game is adorable and really funny.

SUPER Witch Hunter Pro by Gungnir 2013-01-03T11:38:00

its beautiful, fun...and disturbing. the art in particular is really wonderful, and juggling witches, wood, and torch fuel was pretty maddening.

Missile Rider by rylgh 2012-12-18T23:13:00

damn hard to get the hand of, but funny and awesome as hell.

Reverse_Shmup by EARink0 2012-12-18T22:48:00

pretty great idea, as bare-bones as it is. would really like to see an expanded version.

Black Licorice by swinestudios 2012-12-22T03:20:00

it's okay. yet another stealth game, just with a kooky candy twist. the visuals are the best part -- they're cute, consistent, and very distinct.

also, licorice salty? really?

Robbie's Revenge by bubar 2012-12-24T10:06:00

i die WAY too quickly -- before i even get used to the awkward controls.

Mine Sneaker by raincole 2012-12-24T09:52:00

level 2 is impossible due to what appears to be input reading.

Villain - the game by Arihy 2012-12-18T22:51:00

GREAT idea. would love to see a more developed version with proper graphics and refined gameplay.

Necrusio and his Machine by agumaster 2012-12-24T01:28:00

It looks okay, although the sidewalk tiles look too similar to the wall tiles, and the perspective doesn't match the sprite bounding boxes. Also seems weird that combat is only horizontal, given the map layout. With polish this could be a fun romp, though.

Also sad that there's no sound effects, but the background music was pretty rockin'.

Villain Simulator 2000 by TheCze 2012-12-18T23:25:00

good god i laughed my ass off.

Curse You! by caasi 2012-12-18T21:51:00

cute idea playing off the respect a villain has for his adversary.

Friend of Tokyo by cdata 2012-12-31T23:14:00

cute idea, although i'm not too sure about the colors' significance. I figured the red "missile" buildings were defenses that would hurt me, but they didn't seem to.

Jean Jaures Reloaded by Toki Anholmes 2012-12-18T05:56:00

unusual idea -- almost feels like the assassin is in hell, and this is his torment. the music makes it hilarious.

HeroDontSavePrincess by pvp 2012-12-18T22:38:00

i agree with zenmumbler. i can't even get him killed on the monster, no matter where i place the block.

The Plague by Joozey 2012-12-18T22:58:00

couldn't restart the game after i died: the map reset, but i was still dead. and do i have to be near lots of living things in order to create decay?

love the idea and love how it looks. just needs a bit more work, and a readme file also.

Mortal Fear by TDRGames 2012-12-21T01:22:00

i can't even tell where the hell i AM...

The Tim Thomery Extravaganza!!! by ElliotCollis 2012-12-18T06:26:00

too many "leaps of faith" for my liking, and tragically lacking a good "silent film" score. looks awesome though.

Who stole christmas by StMatn 2012-12-18T06:27:00

i can't get it to run...

Crime Scene by saulotti 2013-01-03T11:24:00

unexpected use of the theme. surprisingly fun to weed out suspects as the body count rises.

Villain on a train by pinion 2012-12-18T23:45:00

pretty damn cute.

The Legacy by Swofl 2012-12-19T23:21:00

i felt very lonely here.

The villain's Rules ! by zimra 2012-12-22T02:57:00

very fun and extremely cute.

Kill? by feili 2012-12-19T07:25:00

there's no substance here at all. i feel like most of the dev time was spent making the models.

Pet Mr. Snugglebutt by JoeProgram 2012-12-18T22:44:00

bradleypollard hit it on the head: the fact that i need to find the position-changing hotspot on the cat to make him purr should be better explained. otherwise the game is pretty damn neat.

Super Goon by issa 2012-12-24T09:59:00

kinda funny, but that's about it.

Rude Bear by Alex Rose 2012-12-23T02:49:00

absolutely hysterical. the puppet theme is fantastic and the over-the-top hip-hop music just makes it perfect.

A day in the life of the Minotaur by jfroco 2012-12-18T21:46:00

i often thought about a boardgame where you play the minotaur. great design, catchy tune, and a lot more fun than a game this simple should be!

Land of the Weebums by vrav 2012-12-19T23:18:00

pointless fun!

And No, I Won't Tell You What It Is Yet by wademcgillis 2012-12-24T09:03:00

would be cute and fun if the music wasn't so LOUD AND ANNOYING.

Kleptomaniac by Sanguine 2012-12-19T23:13:00

i'd REALLY enjoy this if it wasn't for the horrendous collision detection.

Pet Buster by Nanolotl 2012-12-18T06:23:00

really love the visuals in this one.

No rest for the wicked. by Jonathan Whiting 2012-12-24T09:57:00

brilliant. absolutely brilliant.

Attack of the Mummy by dray 2012-12-18T22:25:00

could be a lot of fun when it's better refined. love the idea of defending my tomb from explorers...but doesn't that make THEM the villains if they're disturbing my eternal rest?

Illegal Crime Game by angrygeometry 2012-12-18T22:21:00

BEST IN SHOW. great scribbly graphics, fantastic soundtrack. i'm setting time aside to really get immersed in this little world.

there's no wall behind Shifty. might wanna fix that.

Eaten by wzl 2012-12-18T21:57:00

catchy 80's-style tune, and awesome graphics that manage to be full of life (or death) despite the teeny resolution. too bad it's really just an alpha build with no win condition. Would be cool to see more elements introduced, like police officers who chase you.

The Hill by Strkl 2013-01-03T11:15:00

its never established that i'm supposed to be the villain, only that i'm the town outcast, and hence the underdog. for that it fails where the theme is concerned.

The White Rabbit by kato9 2012-12-29T10:09:00

looks and feels great, but the substance is really weak.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-18T07:35:00

i have similar problems on my keyboard with other games. dunno if Lan's strafing ability helps: when you start firing/kicking she locks facing in that direction.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-18T08:05:00

lol i was just about to post "a friend tells me he just kicked everything and beat the game easily."

apparently it rings true.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-18T08:06:00

i'm gonna try adding a second control scheme for people with cruddy keyboards (like me), and see if i can't fix that "bullets go through enemies at point blank" issue.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-18T23:50:00

@StMatn: That's weird, especially considering NiceAlexanderAS was able to download it. I tried the download myself and it worked. Try downloading again?

@ NiceAlexanderAS: Is it the keyboard issue mentioned above? Try using the alt controls.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2012-12-18T23:53:00

by "download" i mean "play". christ, i should try sleeping once in a while.

Valkyrie by mikemacdee 2013-01-07T07:14:00

I've heard Windows 8 hates Game Maker games with a passion. Sorry 'bout that...

Super Paper Monster Smasher by Jesse Freeman 2012-12-23T02:36:00

looks and sounds great, but gets dull really fast.

Mansion Massacre by Bullseye8841 2012-12-23T02:44:00

too buggy for me to enjoy. i can't even tell if i'm killing my victims: half the time they just stand there and stare at me after the animation finishes. one time i killed the dude in the chair and he just stood next to the chair and didn't die. then i killed the guy in the bathroom, and the first dude entered an endless loop where he'd run for the door, then teleport back to where he started.

Legacy of Hamelin by Draknek 2012-12-19T23:28:00

took me a minute to figure out, but was pretty interesting when i knew how to play. unfortunately, i never felt the pied piper was the villain in the story: the townspeople ripped him off, so he made them pay in a different way.

Lens - The Prologue by teh_eria 2013-01-03T11:31:00

it isnt a game -- it really is just a prologue to something larger. in that respect it's caught my interest; but as a standalone it doesn't have the substance to compete with the other much-less-stunning-to-look-at entries.

Let them live by MaTX 2012-12-18T04:34:00

unexpected twist on the theme. in that regard, nice job!

Princess Keeper by lorancou 2012-12-18T04:29:00

i can't believe how much fun i had with this. and everything looks so adorable, too!

Execution Chamber (Now a Jam entry) by Kaslai 2012-12-20T23:54:00

oh man this was WAY more fun than it ought to have been.
