I liked this game, it was a bullet storm game and that isn't hugely innovative but that's fine, the gameplay was fun but a bit too repetitive, some variation on the enemies and more swarm like A.I would have really helped to give a fun experience, it suited the theme perfectly in an interesting way but the mood was tanked by no soundtrack or ambient noises. Overall nice entry but really could do with improvements in certain areas.
Overall I liked this game, I didn't really find it innovative but that's okay too, the gameplay is fun but a little repetitive, it suits the theme perfectly, I really like the art and audio but I didn't think you did enough to set the mood. Overall good entry, well done.
Overall I thought this game was quite nice, some in-game instructions would be nice though and I found the wall jumping hard to grasp at first, I found the platforming mechanics nice but the wall jumping was a bit repetitive in nature, I didn't find my self enjoying this game that much as much of the gameplay was the same thing over and over again with slight changes, it was quite funny at parts but I think it would have been better if you polished off the mood a little, nice game overall though, well done.
I LOVED this game, it wasn't really innovative as there are games like this out there, the gameplay was really fun as I absolutely love games like this e.g Game Dev Tycoon (when you test your game the enemy is a little OP though), it didn't really suit the theme though, the graphics and audio were nice and the mood was okay I guess. Overall LOVED it in terms of gameplay but could do with a tune up in certain areas, besides really enjoyable game well done.
Just a black screen with music when I ran it, sorry.
Overall I loved this game, I found all the mechanics to be innovative and I overall really had fun building the web and found it oh so satisfying when I caught a fly, it suited the theme perfectly and in a very unique way, I did however find that the art style could have been polished a little better, I liked the playful audio and I think it suited the vibe the game was giving and helped to provide an excellent mood, overall an excellent game, great job.
I really enjoyed this game, I found the style of gameplay a lot different to other entries and found this upped your game in terms of quality in my book, It was really enjoyable for a while but it was too easy for the first few levels as I could just keep killing humans and not worry about the missiles as my I'd get my health up, after a while it became a lot more difficult and you had to worry about the missiles but in the later stages the fun was kind of ruined as everything was the same and repetitive (Kill humans, destroy missiles, kill humans destroy missiles over and over again) but it wasn't too bad. I thought this was a really cool take on the theme and a funny one at that. I LOVED the cute art style and the game was really quite funny, I really liked the audio and it really helped the slightly serious but quite funny and playful mood that this game had, really good game, well done.
Overall I really enjoyed this game, I found the style of point and click you were going for was really innovative and lead to fun gameplay by solving puzzles in an unorthodox way. I think it suited the theme perfectly in a very unique way and some of the dialogue was quite funny. The music and art lead to a perfect game mood and overall I only see some thins that need to be improved, well done.
I really liked this overall, the idea is quite unique and I like the mechanics, the game is quite fun to play around with for a while and I felt that the execution of gameplay was really well done. I absolutely loved the cute simplistic graphics style. I really liked the ambient audio and the drums at the menu but it could have done with some smashing and exploding sound effects for when you were on your rampage, it was quite funny in it's own way but I felt the lack of sound effects besides the police sirens (which I really liked) sort of tanked the mood. Very good overall, well done.
Couldn't get passed the first screen, (might just be me being an idiot) sorry.
I LOVED this game, the concept and style of gameplay was really innovative, I really enjoyed the gameplay and it suited the theme in a really interesting way like no other entry I've seen, the art style and lighting was excellent and the audio and especially the lighting set an excellent mood for this type of game, absolutely terrific entry so well done!
I found this game quite good overall, I liked the overall mechanics and found the controls that others might find clunky actually quite nice to use, I found this dungeon crawler really fun and it suited the theme nicely, I really loved the retro dungeon crawler art style and found that the darkness vibe I was getting made the mood excellent, the sound effects were good but I think the fact that there's no sound track puts down the quality of the game a bit, really good job overall good job.
I LOVED this, best game I've played so far entered in the compo, I found that the way everything intertwines with the story is great, I found it a very enjoyable read and trying to find all the endings a thrill, I did find however that not all the endings suited the theme well but some did suit it excellently, I found it really funny at parts and the overall mood (even in text form) really nice. Excellent job overall, well done.
I loved the mechanics, but the gameplay was put down a lot because at times I found it quite difficult to find a target due to the size of the map and the speed of the character (even with sprint), I found it a very unique and interesting take on the theme and thought it suited it perfectly, the art style was nice but I thought it could do with something more (it's unique but maybe sort of in a unique way like some indie games do it? If that makes any sense) I thought the mood could have been better maybe with the addition of audio to give off a city vibe (even just a soundtrack would have been great) I found that when you started the game at first you could be caught by the police VERY quickly. Overall very nice game, well done.
I LOVED this game, it wasn't very innovative however as I've seen other games like this, the gameplay was really fun especially due the variation in the enemies and the way they swarm and come from all directions and how it got really hard at later stages, I did feel however that the player could have had a lot more variation in how they fought, (more ways to kill enemies, more stats besides mana?), the art was nice but looked a bit odd to me and the mood was tanked by the lack of a soundtrack. Overall loved this entry but needs improvement in some areas.
I LOVED this, I found that the whole "hunter killer" style of stealth gameplay was really fun, it suited the theme really well in my opinion and I adored the unusual dark visual style, the audio was on point but could have done with an ambient background soundtrack to put in a bit of a scary factor and the visual style, the gameplay and the audio (especially the footsteps) gave an excellent mood, well done.
I really liked the concept of the game (shame it is two player though as it will be more difficult to get ratings), I found the mechanics and overall gameplay to be very innovative and I salute you for that, I think it was a very enjoyable game and found it very competitive with the person I was playing with, I really liked the cute art style and the introduction voice-acting was of great quality, I found that the mood was forwarded by the introduction, great job overall, well done.
Overall I liked this game, I thought it had a very unique and innovative concept and overall was quite fun but I found the short gameplay a bit repetitive (if it was mine hit the guy on the way up dodge mines on the way down, if it is a guy with a rocket launcher just pop up and down as quick as you can, this could be fixed by the addition of varied enemies but you obviously wouldn't have time in 2 days), it suited the theme in a unique and very interesting way and was perfect for it. I loved the cute art style and the audio was quite nice as well. The audio and art style were perfect for the mood and vibe I was getting from the game and overall I enjoyed the experience, good job.
I actually found this game really fun, I really liked the mechanics and the upgrade system, it was really enjoyable and quite difficult at times which actually helped the enjoyment even more, it suited the theme well and I really liked the cute art style, the sound effects were nice but the game could have done with a soundtrack which would have helped the mood a lot. Overall very enjoyable game just could have done with some polish in the parts I critiqued well done.
Sorry dude, it was too buggy for me.
The concept was a bit hard to understand at first but you learned as you played, I liked the gameplay mehanics and they added a lot to the game. I liked the cute art style and the lighting was great for ambience. But I found it like a maze at times to navigate around the building (especially when it was dark). The only real issue I noticed was sometimes humans would block a hallway and for a time you were unable to pass. Overall good entry, well done!
I really enjoyed this game overall, the platforming between planets was a great innovation which I enjoyed a lot, the gameplay is really fun (I most enjoyed the platforming) but is a bit difficult to control at times and could have done with some polish, it suits the theme okay I guess but it could have done with something to connect the game with the theme better, I liked the art style and the soundtrack was really nice as well as the sound effects which contributed to a really nice mood as well. Really enjoyed it overall, well done.
I wasn't able to run it sorry.
Overall I liked this game, it wasn't very innovative as it is an endless runner, it might have been fun but there are some issues, the spears are way to hard to dodge, the rolls last way too long and you can't jump from them and it often screws you over as a result, the art style was nice but the cartoony characters and pitchforks and torches didn't go well with everything else being serious (especially the background), just looked a little odd to me, the audio was nice but the mood was bad due to a lack of ambience. Decent entry but could really do with a lot of touch ups here and there, well done all the same.
I found the idea behind the reverse-tower defense cool, I did find the gameplay a little boring however as I did find at times I could just let the minions attack the castle on their own without any need for my help. Unless you read into the description the game didn't suit the theme very well but you explained why in your description. I really liked the cute art style and it reminded me slightly of the Castle Crashers vibe at times. I was annoyed by the non-existant audio. The mood wasn't great (didn't find it really ambient or dark enough)Overall the idea behind this game is great but when it comes to actuall play it didn't deliver what it could have but we all run out of time so well done overall!
I found that the gameplay mechanics were a little dull as you could just spam G and B (and then came the unbearable lag. I think this had great potential but wasn't hugely fun when it came to actual play. It suited the theme... nicely I guess, but something to put everything into conext within the game would have helped. I liked the art style overall and loved the trippy effect which sort of reminded me of hotline-miami. It was quite funny, but I think you could have worked on the trippy mood maybe with some hotline-miami style audio. Good game overall, well done.
Overall I really enjoyed this game, I found switching between human form and fox form a really innovated way for the player to solve the small puzzles you are presented with, I really found this game enjoyable but found that some of the jumps were a bit tedious to say the least and at one stage I just stopped playing for a bit because I wanted to move onto something else (some checkpoints of some kind would be nice too so you don't have to walk all the way back to a jump every time) I thought that it really suited the theme in an interesting way. I LOVED the cute art style and the audio was amazing (but since you didn't make it during LD I don't think that you can enter the category? But I rated you highly in it anyways), it was a bit funny at stages and the art style and audio made a wonderful mood and vibe. So I really loved this game besides some issues I had with the gameplay, still you are owed a well deserved well done.
I LOVED this game, overall it wasn't really what I'd call innovative but SO MUCH FUN when it comes to play, it has a difficult edge but you just attack a village then go find some defenceless villagers to munch up when you're about to die and as you progress it becomes REALLY hard but really fun. I loved the art style and the lighting and the audio was great (especially the voices and screams) which overall set an excellent mood. Excellent job guys, this entry is great!
I liked it overall, there wasn't much innovation or anything new though, the gameplay was fun and I enjoyed the platforming somewhat (not so much the shooting), I thought it didn't really go hand in hand with the theme though, I got that the whole idea was they were nothing but innocent creatures but I felt that without the text at the end you wouldn't have gotten that at all, it would have been a lot better with a soundtrack which would have helped the mood out a lot, good entry overall, good job.
Overall I really liked this game, the gameplay and mechanics were really innovative and made for a fun game, I couldn't close the popup that came up at the start to explain the game but that wasn't all that bad, the physics were hilarious but I would have liked more effects rather than people essentially just bouncing off my car, it suited the theme perfectly in a really funny way, the concept was funny as well as the gameplay but the mood was tanked by the lack of any audio, I had been hoping for some hotline miami style audio. Overall this game is really good but could do with some polish here and there, well done.
I LOVED this game, I found the very difficult gameplay and the way you can dodge lasers etc really fun and innovative almost hotline miami style, the gameplay was really fun and hard but there was a pointless lives system? And an energy stat that did nothing? From what I could see. It didn't really suit the theme. And I loved the art style (especially the way things changed colour as you play) loved the audio and the trippy style was funny and overall set an excellent mood. EXCELLENT entry, well done!
I liked this game overall, it was an interesting take on a runner, the gameplay was fun as you had to watch out for going past your target as well so you had to manage your speed both ways and the addition of different modes was a nice touch, it suited the theme perfectly and in an interesting way, the audio was good but I didn't really find anything that set a cool mood, graphics was good but could do with some polish, all that said good game overall so well done.
I LOVED everything about this game, the concept and gameplay is really innovative, the gameplay is fun (jumping over knights and throwing maidens for the win), it suits the theme perfectly and in an interesting way, I love the visual style (especially that it's cartoony and polished), I love the audio especially the maiden scream and the knight alert sound. Throwing the maidens and the scream is hillarious and overall the visual style and audio set a great mood. One issue though on the second level I can only throw two maidens then it forces me to press retry.
I liked this game overall, the whole flip around on classic space invaders was very innovative, I did find it a bit difficult at times and that did sap some of the enjoyment out of it, I thought this was an absolute excellent take on the theme and a very interesting one at that and don't be harsh on your self with the audio I find that it suits the mood perfectly and makes it better, good job overall so well done.
I liked this game overall, the concept was innovative and the gameplay was fun for a while but got repetitive and after the tutorial you had to attempt to play with unbearable lag, it suited the theme perfectly and I really liked the simplistic art style as well as the menu with the popup text that would slowly type on screen (really cool effect), I LOVED the soundtrack and that really contributed to an excellent mood. Overall was really nice but suffered greatly due to lag.
Overall I found this game had great promise but poor execution and found it a little difficult to comprehend and play, I didn't expect to find many card games for this theme but glad that someone gave it a go in such an innovative way, I found this a really cool take on the theme with all the different cards and everything, the visual style was nice even for a card game, Some of the cards you could play were quite funny but I think the thing that tanked the mood was no audio, I would have loved a sort of funny or bright and bubbly soundtrack for this game but no audio isn't that horrible but I do really think that it helps. Great concept poor execution but well done overall.
Overall I thought this game was quite nice, the gameplay was interesting, the whole thing where you had to evenly distribute the food if you wanted them to survive was nice, I though after a while though the gameplay got quite repetive and boring but you wouldn't have had time to add the features necessary to fix this with this kind of game, I thought it didn't hugely suit the theme but that's okay, I absolutely loved the dark with a bit of purple and simplistic art style and the audio was nice, the darkness and the dark soundtrack made the mood excellent, nice game well done overall.
I liked this game, I didn't find the style of gameplay hugely innovative but it was good, the gameplay was fun especially when it got intense when those big guys came in, but was a little repetitive when you first start playing. It suited the theme perfectly and the art style was really nice. The music was really good and helped set an excellent mood (along with the lighting) I think this game was nice overall but could really do with some improvements in gameplay but that's just my opinion, besides good job all the same.
I quite liked this game, it had interesting gameplay and was unique, I found myself finding it easy at the start but as I progressed it actually got quite hard and made it a lot more fun, it suited the theme perfectly, you shouldn't be too hard on your self with the graphics they're actually quite nice in a cute way (but obviously could be improved), I really liked the sound effects and the soundtrack was quite nice too, it was actually quite funny (especially the cats) and the mood was fine. Good game overall, well done.
The gameplay was way too repetitive to stay fun after a shortb period and at times I found that there was a delay for an enemy to catch fire after I hit them with a fireball, I thought it would have been way cooler if the game hadn't been so easy and your fire game out in a stream like fashion rather than short bursts and the enemys came in swarms and there was variation in them and they came charging at you etc. It suited the theme perfectly (not in a unique way but it suited it fine), the art was nice but the mood was tanked by no soundtrack. Overall could really use a lot of polish but okay entry all the same, well done.
I LOVED this game, I thought at first that it was going to be a zork clone but you play as a monster but then I liked the fact that you were going for annoyance rather than kills, so you had to play carefully which was really innovative, the gameplay was really fun (especially pissing off heroes), parts of the game were really funny, the retirement and the style of combat in particular, there wasn't really anything for the mood though? Maybe some background ambient music or something. Overall REALLY loved the game.
I liked this game, it's a standard shooter so it's not very innovative, the gameplay was fun but didn't have a lot of variation so it got quite boring but I like the difficulty. It suited the theme perfectly, not interestingly but fine all the same. I really liked all the art except the monsters , they looked out of place with the rest of the art, I really liked the flip animation on the monster it was a nice touch, the audio was really nice but the game needs more sound effects. The music set an excellent mood. Overall nice entry but could do with some tune up and variation when it comes to gameplay, well done all the same.
I really liked the game, I found the concept and style of gameplay really innovative and I really enjoyed scaring of the villagers. It suited the theme perfectly and in an interesting way. I really liked the graphics but the cutscene (as good as it was) didn't really suit the rest of the game also the game overscreen was just like an image layered over the screen (you can still move around and at the edges of the screen you can see the game and that you can move it)I loved the playful music but the game could have down with some sound effects (footsteps, maybe villager's screaming? etc, the cutscene and the concept was really funny and the music was so good it set a good mood, overall very good job so well done!
I thought this game was not bad but not great either, the whole shoot em' up style of play wasn't really innovative (shoot em' ups can be innovated example: Hotline Miami), the gameplay was repetitive and the camera shaking was hell (I don't want to feel like I'm in a city experiencing an earthquake while playing your game) also the player is pretty slow so navigating around the map is annoying and when you kill all the aliens nothing happens, It suited the theme perfectly in a rather hilarious way and I really liked the cute simplistic art style, but the fonts on the menu screen are really hard to read. It was a really funny concept but the mood was tanked by no audio. Overall I think this game was a nice entry but could really do with some polish here and then, still well done all the same.
I loved this game, it was really innovative way to take on a text game, the gameplay was fun especially soul suckin' 'N lootin', it suited the theme perfectly and in an interesting way, the graphics had more too be desired (pictures illustrating the story even?) and the mood was set well through story telling. Well done, terrific entry!
I found this great overall, the style of gameplay was very unique and I found that furthered the quality of the game greatly, I found it fun overall but found it quite difficult and never managed to reach the victory conditions, the art style was great and I loved the dream space fog effect, I liked the audio and found that it furthered the mood and lastly the mood was excellent(the art style and graphics contributed greatly to it), great game well done!
I LOVED this game, the concept of there are benefits and cons to you in your angriest form and benefits and cons to you in your peaceful form proved really fun in this platformer, the gameplay was really nice as it was almost like solving a mini-puzzle each level in a platformer setting, it suited the theme perfectly in an interesting way. I LOVED the art style (especially the background) and the audio was just superb. The environmental obstacles that you meet on your way home are hilarious and all this combined sets a perfect mood. This is my favourite entry yet, WELL DONE!
I liked this game overall, on a side note (why would they stop missiles with nuclear missiles because if they want to go out they want to go out with a big bang?) The concept was innovative and unique and the gameplay was fun overall but could have done with a speed up in tempo to make it more addictive. It suited the theme perfectly in a unique way and I LOVED the cutscene and the slightly-cartoony graphics style, I loved the audio which created an awesome mood and vibe for the game, overall good but could use some polish in the areas I mentioned well done on this entry!
I liked this overall, it didn't have much gameplay but mine didn't either due to time restrictions like you, I did have fun watching the whole thing playing out though, I thought this was an interesting take on the theme as well even if you didn't like it that is, I liked the cute art style and the nice music, it was REALLY funny though, obviously with such a short game the mood wasn't great but overall I did enjoy watching it rather than playing it, hopefully you like the theme next time, well done anyways.
ToloaGames, I only had an hour so editing was in no way an option so sorry about that.
nonetheless, yeah I had to do it in one take so the stutters may be too intense for some audience members xD.
Catquatwa, yeah you might want to avoid the corners I didn't have time for much bug fixes in the hour. Sorry about that.
Jani Nykanen, I had wanted to add them but didn't have time so sorry about that (;
cynicalmonkey I replied on your post-mortem post.
Overall I found this game okay, the concept was very innovative but when it came to gameplay it wasn't very fun. I found that the rotten bananas were pointless as I found that if I just kept mashing peel I ended up with more points then if I was careful to throw away the rotten ones. (this could probably be solved by making rotten bananas a lot more common which would probably make it quite a fun game) The banana animation was a quite a nice touch actually so I upped you in the graphics since you couldn't really exhibit it anywhere else. The soundtrack was quite nice and the game was really funny (especially the back story) the mood was okay and the audio helped it. It suited the theme perfectly in an extremely unique way. Overall I found this could have been great but since the rotten bananas aren't common enough to be remotely a problem it ended up being boring after the first try, good concept but poor execution well done though.
I liked this game, the reverse tower defence concept was very innovative but when it came to actual gameplay got quite repetitive and boring, this could be fixed with a little variation (more than one monster, upgrades for monster(s) etc) I really liked how you could choose what upgrade the hero got and found it very interesting, it suited the theme perfectly, not uniquely but perfectly all the same, I LOVED the art style (especially the menu, it was amazing), the music was brilliant (could have done with sound effects though) and the music set an excellent mood. Nice game but really needs a whole lot of improvement when it comes to gameplay.
Overall I liked this game, I found the concept very very innovative, but when it came to actual gameplay I found it a little difficult and struggled to understand at first what I had to do to "win" so to speak, as for suiting the theme I didn't find it suited it greatly but that's okay too, I really liked the visuals and the audio was amazing and it set a really good mood. Could do with some improvements theme and gameplay wise but otherwise good entry, well done.
I loved this game and probably wouldn't finish it if I didn't want to rate other ones, the gameplay was really nice and I loved all the concepts (not killing too many security guards etc), I found it really fun and the gameplay really compelling (combining the stealth, puzzles and combat all into one really made it a nice complete package), I think it was a really good take on the theme as some features of the game require you to value life, I did however thought that the simplistic art style (which can be really nice) could have been a little more polished, the audio was quite nice. Overall I loved this game but it could do with some polish in the areas I mentioned, well done.
