LD22 — Alone

Alone by TAX by tax 2011-12-19T07:54:00

Cool game, new idea and quite tricky to play. Can I ask, I didn't know you were allowed to use freesound.org in the 48 hour compo

Alone In Space... by Sandcrawler 2011-12-21T07:59:00

Really cool, reminded me of galaxy on fire. The only issue was the resolution was too high and I could not see my credits. but otherwise great job

Apollo Kepler-22b by David Colson 2011-12-20T08:05:00

Quimby: I agree the game is too hard but can I ask did you manage to finish it?

Shadow Born by edba 2011-12-20T22:12:00

Really cool graphics but the difficulty put me off a bit

Divided by TeamInk 2011-12-21T08:16:00

This is amazing, one of the best ive seen, the difficulty on the last level let it down for me!

City of One by CaptainFresh 2011-12-20T22:05:00

Addicting game, nice work!

LD24 — Evolution

FronSkratx by muh_h 2012-08-30T12:54:00

Really fun game I liked how you implemented evolution it really worked well

Battle Evolved by TobiasNL 2012-08-27T14:59:00

One of the best I have seen so far, great fun and great graphics!

Sporee by tdsmale 2012-08-27T10:48:00

Pretty Simple, but strangly addicting, the staying still to get points is quite an issue but it is fun nevertheless, Score: 112,892

Galapagos by espekia 2012-08-27T11:50:00

Nice Game, I found it quite complex and found myself bewildered at times but other wise quite good

Deep Sea Evolution by atla 2012-08-27T10:32:00

Its quite fun, but the webplayer wouldnt work, and the standalone kept crashing so I wont vote for now

Evolution of Man by tupperwarespoon 2012-08-30T12:49:00

Ambitious game but very difficult. I really like the evolution of games as well as man

The Horrifying and Viciously Aggresive Though Strangely Susceptible To Evolution Monsters From Some Mysterious Random Tomb by Ret44 2012-08-27T11:20:00

Quite a fun game, I got lost on the second level though! Good job

minogear by Andrei Barsan 2012-08-27T09:50:00

This game is epic, super addicting, innovative. Its a bit hard at times but you should be proud of yourself, well done!

Complexitivity by Accidental Rebel 2012-08-27T15:43:00

Great fun. Nice graphical style, best sound I have heard this LD, Great job!

Tree by Canyon 2012-08-27T15:20:00

Interesting Idea, but its not much of a game, as there is no way to win? If there is I take all that back but I couldn't find one? More like a drawing program for tree's! Its very nice nonetheless, just not very gamey

Evidently by jamioflan 2012-08-27T15:31:00

Great fun, the sound is a little annoying though

LD28 — You Only Get One

One String Hero by dementor561 2013-12-16T22:04:00

I found it rather hard to tell what was going on, and what I was supposed to do I love the voice acting though!

Deep Life by 01010111 2013-12-16T23:12:00

The story is very promising, and just as others have said, more would be better. I do hope you pursue this after the compo since it has potential, also kudos on the art. It is very nice

Only One by TylerC 2013-12-16T23:59:00

I really like the atmosphere and graphics, my only complaints are the controls don't quite feel right, and the lack of animation feels strange, I imagine that was due to lack of time though...

YOGO PATH by cesisco 2013-12-17T11:37:00

Great art style and a unique and fun mechanic

Console Wars 3D by wezrule 2013-12-17T22:11:00

Its a cool idea, unfortunately I cannot get pasted the first level

One Twisted Button by etabubu 2013-12-16T21:57:00

This is a fun game however, I'm playing on a laptop and many keys came up that did not exist on my keyboard so I was unable to play very well :/

Defuser by rukbotto 2013-12-16T23:24:00

Really cool, idea. And I like your pixel art!

Leap of Faith by Ysty 2013-12-17T22:34:00

This is an original and fun game, and I like your use of the theme as well!

Spacedentist saves the day by StMatn 2013-12-17T22:24:00

I really like the engine, well done!

Byte's Socks by drkrunk 2013-12-17T11:27:00

The game looks lovely, and its an interesting take on the theme

GASP by Nancybeast 2013-12-16T22:19:00

Fun little game, the idea is really innovative and original, nice work!

You only get one stone by Vladp995 2013-12-17T10:41:00

Couldn't run because MSVCP110 was missing

Cat Gentlemans Play: Insult Spinner 10 Cents by RobotLovesKitty 2013-12-17T10:30:00

Hilarious game, great idea as well

The YOLO game by OniiRam 2013-12-17T22:29:00

This is actually quite fun, challenging though, but not too challenging. I like!

Super Christmas Teeth Basher 5000 by DaanVanYperen 2013-12-17T23:07:00

I love the graphics. I found the game rather confusing at first, but I got into it.

Leap Guy: The Later Years by PizzaPranks 2013-12-17T22:20:00

I don't quite understand what you're supposed to do...

YOLO Simulator 2014 by EncryptedCow 2013-12-16T22:30:00

Really original Idea, the game is a bit too easy though.

Yo only get one...minute to escape by rvaquero82 2013-12-16T22:35:00

Its a fun idea, although sometimes I would get stuck in the blobs and be unable to move.

Fever Blue by Raiyumi 2013-12-17T23:04:00

This is really cool, fun to play as well. I just don't quite see how the theme fits in?

Hammerfall by Supernaught 2013-12-17T12:44:00

I really liked, this it was fun to play and I liked your use of the theme, nice work!

You Only Get One Shot: Eminem Rapping Simulator by Afal 2013-12-16T23:51:00

This is hilarious! Nice idea!

Dare to Dig! by Mirroar 2013-12-16T22:11:00

Unfortunately the game was unplayable on my MacBook Pro running windows, I have not rated it so you can see whats up, but my computer, and the game just froze when I played it

Eggcited by intelligentbean 2013-12-16T21:50:00

A Fun little game, its quite difficult, but can be rewarding when you make a jump without dropping the egg. Also I really like the concept, you did something other than "You only get one life" or "you only get one bullet", nice work!

Protoport by Und[0]ne Devs 2013-12-17T12:40:00

Fun idea, it just needs a little polish

Our Story by CarlsonAndPeeters 2013-12-16T22:52:00

Superb game design, my only grip is I accidentally got stuck in the *SPOILERS* room where you pick scroll or gold, and I got neither.

_You only get your keyboard! by jackolondon 2013-12-17T11:24:00

I got 29, its quite fun and rather intense as it gets harder

One For All & All For One by BlazingFanfish 2013-12-17T10:24:00

I love the character art, I found the combat a little simple if I'm honest though

Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-17T22:58:00

What a cool mechanic, reminds me of FEZ

Pilot's Last Stand by phi6 2013-12-16T21:31:00

Great game, you played my game which is suprisingly similar. Most of the fun of your game is mastering the controls, got sucked into it quite quickly! Nice job, and also great voice acting!

[You only get one enemy] (Version 0.000001) by SarmagophilisStudios 2013-12-17T17:38:00

The sound effects made me jump in fright....

A Space Game by SerialVelocity 2013-12-16T23:55:00

Great execution, the graphics are nice and the controls feel right. Also I love bullet time.

One Direction by smnbackwards 2013-12-17T10:49:00

I really like the idea, quite original! I got 1100

She Only Has One Day by sjames_93 2013-12-16T23:35:00

Nice game, controls feel nice and it looks really good, its just a bit repetitive, but nice work!

One_shot by Rhysaxiel 2013-12-17T11:50:00

Game would not start, im on Window 7 64 bit and it just says Game Stopped workking

Space Highway Clearance Simulator by milugames 2013-12-16T12:45:00

I enjoyed this, its a little difficult but its not impossible with some practice, also I like the graphics, very nice.

#YOGO Platform by hnzlmnn 2013-12-17T10:12:00

Could not run on Windows, it said "windows could not find javaw"

Fragile Soul by Ashedragon 2013-12-17T11:03:00

I really like this, the mechanics are solid and its fun to play. Your use of the theme isn't very original though

BoxBorg returns home by ColonierGames 2013-12-16T23:19:00

Really cool idea, I've not seen a game do this before!

Decisions by Kemoiz 2013-12-17T10:53:00

Its cool, but I don't see where the theme fits in?

Fighter-01 by Thalikoth 2013-12-16T22:24:00

Fun Idea, I like it much!

Space Postal Service by Colapsydo 2013-12-17T10:46:00

Pretty cool idea, and can be quite challenging

Cubinca by Killswitch 2013-12-17T10:34:00

The game at the start is rather confusing because the red block never moves until 20 odd seconds in, its also a bit easy

Destroy The Core by StabAlarash 2013-12-17T11:33:00

Great game, if a little too hard

Yogo Balls by ahimsa 2013-12-17T11:57:00

This is so addicting, I got 4th place, Im happy

PUSH by Patacorow 2013-12-17T11:13:00

Really good level design, and a cool unique idea!

The one shot by jamesy012 2013-12-17T10:39:00

I really love the idea, with some polish and nicer graphics this could be an awesome game. Unfortunately after my 5th or so run the game glitched out and made a funny noise so I had to close it

Star Chase by David Colson 2013-12-15T22:14:00

I've tweaked the difficulty to make it easier to kill the enemy, and also not to long for the impatient, hope you like the improvements!

Star Chase by David Colson 2013-12-17T23:11:00

@StMatn You make very good points. I think this game was slightly held back by the theme. I want to take it further but I will remove the "One Shot" mechanic.

The game also has dynamic difficult so it makes it easier the more you fail. It probably makes it too easy though...

Monocraft by MaTX 2013-12-17T12:35:00

Its a cool idea, but not much of a game unfortunately
