you only get one chance to save christmas by titoboss 2013-12-16T11:51:00

The intro screen was a bit confusing. White text on light gray background is not a very readable look. Especially if there are so many different keys to explain and so forth.

Shooting direction was very confusing. Seemed random if the shots flew a bit up or down when shooting left or right.

Obviously this could all use some work. But I am going to have to say great job overall anyway! Because creating this from scratch in C in that time is awesome. Good job!

The Only Journey by Cthulhu 2013-12-16T21:47:00

Interesting. The "like life this game can only be played once" part is awesome. Music was the best I've heard here so far. Good job!

My First Day at the Snowman Kit Factory! by Loren 2013-12-17T20:30:00

Pretty interesting idea a "factory worker simulator".

Prototype by Cheshyr 2013-12-17T17:45:00

Pretty interesting and cool game. Love the use of theme in this one. And creating a 3D in this time is also awesome!

Only thing that bothered me were the controls. Very hard to explain why, but it just felt off and not a very good control system fps wise.

Other than that. Good job!

No Mistakes. by meek 2013-12-16T12:02:00

Great style all round. Both graphical, audio and gameplay. Absolutely awesome game idea and execution.

Really frustratingly difficult though. And I would've changed it so you can keep typing from memory when the numbers have already scrolled out of view. That would be more interesting. I kept finding that I'm not making mistakes, but I just can't type the last two digits until the thing already leaves the screen.

Would be awesome if that memory typing was a feature. It would still be just as challenging. Just would add a bit.

One True God by kidder 2013-12-17T20:21:00

This was pretty good. I spent a good amount of time playingit and enjoyed it.

The lack of graphics was a let down though. Just the small thing of having a few buildings around to signify the cities would have changed a lot for me. Just a few blocks and the whole thing looks a lot better and is more exciting.

Other than that a cool game. Good job!

You Get One: Crappy Torch by robopossum 2013-12-16T11:57:00

Idea was good and everything felt solid and polished. So great job on it overall! Graphics and the torch effect was the best part.

I think the torch was a bit too crappy though. Maybe not more field of vision, but a bit more contrast. It was frustrating that even the walls completely next to you were hard to see. I think adding contrast (most lit up areas are brighter than now) would take away some frustration therefore adding fun. But if you keep the field of view the same the challenge still remains.

Humanity's Last Hope by stenol 2013-12-16T16:53:00

Overall solid effort.

Would have wished for more content though (powerups for instance).

Captain Spacebeard in: The Centauri Run by DaleP 2013-12-16T10:34:00

Awesome game. But I really didn't understand where the theme "you only get one" came in. Would have liked to see a lot more of that.

Other then that the graphics were awesomely retro. Gameplay with the non violent options (using the tractor beam to hold the asteroid in as a shield and steer it) was something I haven't seen before. Great idea.

Alien Plant by internetpaulicy 2013-12-16T16:59:00

That was pretty fun. Good job!

Graphics and overall style was great.

The One - A Tale of Bliss or Sorrow by ploogle 2013-12-16T21:34:00

That was absolutely lovely! Great ambience with the music and overall atmosphere. Great graphics, great bendy balloon rope physics. Awesome creation!

[OBVIOUS] by hate-marina 2013-12-17T17:24:00

Interesting idea. But really confusing at first. The chart basically means nothing and does nothing. Just have to listen to the guy? That's how I understood it atleast. That combined with having the chart (and knowing what it would mean in reality) and no bitcoin counter was really confusing.

I enjoyed the graphics a lot though. But overall I would've liked the game to be a lot clearer.

Planet LD-28 by Tragon 2013-12-16T10:37:00

1 FPS was a very interesting idea on how to use the theme. Haven't ever seen that before. Everything worked great. Awesome game!

One shot, One opportunity. by Sr. Nice 2013-12-16T10:08:00

Pretty good job overall.

For some reason it says "right mouse button to shoot", it's left.

I'd have wanted the enemies to be a bit slower and jumping height less. Those are personal preferences though.

MoneyPlanet by PlugNPlay 2013-12-16T10:44:00

I don't agree with "ThatGuy" no industry is not the only option. There is a certain balance here with 1-3 industry where the planet regenerates by itself.

If you use the money to cleanup then you can have a bit more than 3 and still have a balance.

More of a slightly hidden lesson then an actual game. Pretty interesting though. So good job!

One Wall by joppiesaus 2013-12-16T10:18:00

Surprisingly challenging. Pretty good overall. Could of course use a bit of polish and would have wanted more theme orientation somehow. But the one wall thing worked aswell. The wall was gone pretty fast though.

The file size was a lovely change from downloading 10MB a piece games here.

YOGO Mom! by Coblynau 2013-12-16T10:22:00

That was quite good! Good job overall!

Graphics were my favourite bit. Worked quite well. Would've been cool to have a few kitchen furniture obstacles in the middle though.

Finding Serenity by BraindeadGeo 2013-12-16T09:54:00

Quite humorous, a bit surreal. Good job!

The ending was the best part!

There was a world by Kar 2013-12-16T10:50:00

Interesting little idea for a game. I like the view with the rotating planet a lot.

But I think the game is broken I couldn't figure out how to do most things (instructions on controls would have been helpful). Also I could buy and build everything right from the start and basically insta-win. The system which checks if you have the correct resources or not appears broken (I didnt have any and need any to build).

Love, Bullet, Minute by the 2013-12-16T10:04:00

Mood and atmosphere were great!

Needed a bit of patience to understand what's going on. But once I got what's up it was great! Good job!

I didn't quite understand the significance of the minute part though.

Tank Shooter by MrJavaFrank 2013-12-16T10:14:00

Nice little game. Everything seems to work well.

I would've wished for you to do something a bit more with the "you only get one" theme. Otherwise good job!

CROSSBORE by (Not) Ivano 2013-12-16T10:25:00

Going through the games one by one yours is the best so far overall!

Pretty challenging though.

Lost in Universe by Doubstract 2013-12-16T16:52:00

Quite confusing.

Seems like there is a whole lot of stuff in game and very many options. But I couldn't figure out what I actually have to do in the game.

The UI is pretty confusing and unintuitive (information overload and stuff all over the place) and so is whatever your mission is.

But I applaud you for making what seems to be a very big game in this time. Flight physics were solid. Graphics were solid. Loads of content. Just confusing though.

One Soul by edrache 2013-12-16T10:53:00

One of the very best ones I've rated here so far. Great atmosphere, awesome graphics and a very interesting premise.

No Drag in Space by lincore 2013-12-16T10:58:00

Very cool little game. Felt completely polished and well made!

The level with the rotating boxes was awesome and added something new to the mix.

Protogun by Solluxx 2013-12-16T21:39:00

Awesome pixel graphics and absolutely great gameplay aswell. There really is nothing negative to say you made a very well polished awesome game in 48 hours. Great job!

Dolphin Rescue by capnramses 2013-12-16T11:02:00

Overall quite good!

Interesting effect with the algae at the bottom. Also loved the shaking effect when the ship reached the bottom.

Flickeroid by rorycooke 2013-12-16T10:28:00

Too easy to just stand there and shoot into one spot.

But visually and stylistically its brilliant! And what you chose to do with the theme is really interesting aswell.

Space Highway Clearance Simulator by milugames 2013-12-17T17:13:00

Thank you everybody for the absolutely awesome feedback! :) I especially enjoyed the comments that picked up on the humor in the game. I would've added a lot more if I had time. Maybe in the "real" version. If I ever get to it. Thank you again!

@broepi What do you have against GM:S and why shame? Read the rules. I clearly did not break any rule nor the spirit of this competition!

@PlugNPlay I was 100% sure I removed that. I just used that for testing. That's pretty bad that that was left in. But then again 48 hours.It happens.

You only get one bullet by isaacmarco 2013-12-16T21:24:00

Pretty cool. Plenty of atmosphere and the city itself was great. Seeing the city before you play was awesome aswell.

That single bullet was a bit unsatisfying when fired though. I would've wanted more effect from that one last chance shot. But maybe it was feeble on purpose?

Movement felt a bit weird aswell. Like I'm piloting some strange vehicle not walking.

Overall still a great job and pretty cool though.

$1 Hero by Microfrog 2013-12-16T21:59:00

The idea and style were awesome. But actually playing it is a bit tedious. Maybe it should react a bit faster.

Great job on the graphics and overall mood though. Nice retro tribute.

One chance to save your ass by occash 2013-12-17T20:09:00

I would've wanted more theme apropriateness, but other than that it's an awesome game.

Very interesting puzzle mechanic which I haven't seen yet. Good job!

You Only Get One Carrot by Crisius88 2013-12-16T21:31:00

I like the graphics. Nice simple retro style.

A few things I'd change about the controls though. If you use mouse button as shooting then it would make sense to shoot in the direction the mouse is aswell. Otherwise just use another key like "control" for instance.

But hey you made a game in that short a time. So awesome job anyway!

A.D. 2101 by d2king10 2013-12-17T17:36:00

A very nice platformer.

The artwork and overall mood are absolutely awesome. Great job!
Some of the controls feel a bit iffy though. Jumping especially- when underneath a platform I saw variable jumping heights when I was not doing anything obviously different each time. So at some times I reached the next platform other times I didnt. As far as I know I held the jump keys exactly as long each time. This felt pretty weird.

Also one enemy spawned inside the ground (or a wall or whatever you would call it)

Other than those control issues and that small spawn bug it was absolutely great. Good job.

G.T.F.O. by Centhra 2013-12-17T17:29:00

Pretty cool little platformer!

Everything seems to run and work nice and smooth. Noticed no problems and it felt good. Graphics and sound style were pretty nice aswell.

Fighter-01 by Thalikoth 2013-12-17T17:40:00

Very interesting idea. Took a minute to figure out what's going on though.

Nice and challenging. Good job!

One by bodsey 2013-12-16T10:23:00

Yup. No go for me aswell.

The Last Swordketeer by talecrafter 2013-12-16T11:16:00

Graphics are awesome and because of that overall it feels very polished and good.

Gameplay itself is a bit confusing though. (mainly because the attack animation is a bit confusing) Hard to understand when you're actually doing damage and when you should step away.

Like BrainDeadGeo said it would be cooler if you looked toward the mouse.

Overall still pretty good work. Especially on the polish!

Defusement of the Pyong by Kvisle 2013-12-16T22:05:00

Awesome game and quite an achievement for 48 hours.

The controls are frustrating though. Use keys the right hand could push to turn and fire. Or better yet mouse.

I saw no connection with the theme though.

You can become only one!!1 by multikorv 2013-12-16T22:09:00

Awesome new concept for a puzzle game. Game itself is well made and solid aswell. Good job!

Once Charged by pighead10 2013-12-16T21:54:00

Awesome use of the theme. And overall a really interesting and well made little game.

Quite challenging.
