I always really like the comment and cut scenes you put in your games and this was no exception, great if a little in need of checkpoints.

As a seasoned roguelike player its really important to be able to get straight into the game, maybe add a random character mode for people who don't want to sit through the quiz each time they create a new character. That would even allow for more variation in the game.
A very impressive attempt at a CCG in three days! However, the tutorial was a little unclear and as a result the rules seem overly complex. I also had an issue with cards in my hand enlarging so I could see them but then not decreasing back to a normal size so that I could continue to play. Overall a very good effort if a bit unpolished. Well done.
Errrr, da fuq? I personally found the story quite inappropriate and badly handled (I have a sister who is a wheelchair user) but it did take a lot of guts to do something like this. So I guess, well done for trying.
Could you add a pre-compiled version of the game please. I barely have time to download games let alone compile them myself. Not Rated - unplayable.
Maybe work on fixing what ever issue is causing the build to crash and then upload a link to that playable build. You can fix crash bugs after the deadline, just not add features. I'll be waiting until then to rate, obviously as you shouldn't rate unplayable games.
A nice idea certainly and I like the art style, but let down by the illegible font and glitchy jump/swimming.
Very interesting, the main mechanic is actually one that I employed in a previous project. I will say it is a bit glitchy in places and the title is missing a exclamation mark ;) but other than that a good entry, well done.
Making an mostly multiplayer game is not a very good idea, especially online only. The game itself didn't seem to really hit the theme or be terribly engaging.
A very interesting mechanic, nicely executed with a spiffing art style. Well done.
Very compelling especially with the art and sound!
Wow, very interesting art work! With very strong, if repetitive gameplay!
Very original idea, cleanly executed, if fiendishly difficult. :) Both the art style and music is awesome! Good work.
Amazing art! The music is awesome too but it did go really static-y after awhile.
A pretty original concept, I liked the art style and the customisation a great addition! Could use a bit more depth, though.
For some reason the gun didn't work but from the screenshots it certainly looks intriguing! Props for actual voice acting!
Awesome graphics and a nice take on the theme!
Kind of simple, but could be great with some work! Very nice graphics.
Nice idea, props for the RPG aspect!
Good, but your timer has 50 more seconds on it than it should. :)
Wow, that was amazing I especially like how the stories overlapped!
An interesting take on the theme, a little to portal-like for me and I found the intro was a bit long. Good art style, though.
Fun game, actually quite similar to a game I made for my college course earlier this year!
Hey Galman, very nice game. I especially like the use of the theme to enforce the main mechanic.
Really good music, could use a bit more control for the movement of the bird but a very good game, none the less. :)
Cool idea but very difficult. Could probably do with a way of healing.
Nice collection of gameplay with a good variety of minigames, well done.
Very innovative puzzle game, well done!
What the hell just happened! Really weird but very interesting!
Nice one George, I thought you'd manage something. Very nice if a little tricky to control but with a great art style!
The controls are a bit weird but I like the style and the music is great!
Certainly very minimal but not to much gameplay.
Tricky and a bit floaty but well made!
Well made, the controls are a little confusing but it's very nicely presented.
Good idea, but I kept failing. :)
Interesting, a nice mixture of game types. Good job.
If every thing in that guy's house is covered in knifes I'm not surprised he died. :)
Couldn't get past potato, but very innovative, with cool art and music!
Tricky, but very fun with awesome art and great music. Good job.
Very well done, good AI and pathing with a cool idea. Nice one, Zapa.
This game is amazing! The platforming's smooth, the art cool and the story awesome!
Amazing! Great art, music and really interesting gameplay! Well done!
I got a bit stuck, but very interesting art and smooth gameplay!
The menu was a good idea and the music is great, but it broke not long after starting. :(
Nice. I do like a good choose-your-own-adventure game!
First LD26 game I've been compelled to finish! Amazing art! Let down by bad performance and screen tearing but that's just GameMaker's way.
Good game, fun and high quality but very tricky.
Wow, amazing! Very nice art style and good music. Not to mention the story!
Nice. Very difficult unless you block the entrance, but well made otherwise.
I didn't really get what was minimal about it, but the game is solid. Nice one.
Interesting, nice idea and the art style reminded me of psychonauts but it took a very long time to load.
Very frustrating, but a nice idea. :)
Would have been better for evolution but a good game none the less.
Didn't really understand what was happening, an in game tutorial would be good.
Really nice art style and good music but John is a little short. :)
Interesting idea, very minimalist! Good job.
If anything I'd have to say that it's not very minimal, in terms of art style, etc. But as far as content and gameplay goes, it's as good as ever. Well done.
Interesting mechanic, however, rather confusing. Could have used a tutorial.
Fun with great graphics, a bit too like Pokemon for me but still very fleshed out!
Very cool art and fun addictive gameplay. However, I found that the victims procrastinated a lot... ;)
Very nice art and original gameplay, well done.
A kind of confused (in terms of the theme), very simple god game.
First LD game I've got to hundred percent with! Amazing!
Rather complicated, could use a tutorial but very well done with the art.
Nice graphics, good A.I. and a solid take on the theme, well done!
Very difficult but I like the graphics and the song!
Nice take on the theme and well executed!
Really nice graphics and visuals in general!
Incredible graphics! With decent gameplay!
Nice entry! Great job on the title screen
The terrain art is great but it's a shame that didn't reflect on the characters or gameplay.
Very nice graphics, but limited gameplay.
Can't run. :(
Great art, shame about the collision and gameplay in general.
A very nice take on the theme, if not all that upbeat. ;)
Nice art and simplistic gameplay!
Interesting bullet hell!
Very nice graphics! With really unique gameplay!
Very nice physics!
Amazing art!
Nice art!
The movement of the UFO is good, not much else though.
Good, RPG! Well done!
Nice simple dwarf fortress! Well done!
Confusing but nice graphics!
Nice graphics, rather repetitive gameplay.
Nice graphics and a solid adventure game!
Couldn't run, but the art from the screenshot looks cool!
Amazing art and very slick gameplay, as good as McPixel!
Very slick art! With fun gameplay!
Nice art style and original gameplay!
Cool graphics, but I couldn't get past the first level.
Nice graphics and good sense of speed!
Weird, but I like the graphics!
Good graphics and interesting gameplay!
Interesting gameplay, graphics could use some work.
Connection error! :(
Good gameplay but could use better graphics.
Very nice graphics! Weird gameplay, though.
Can't run!
Seems to crash after a minute, but the concept is really cool.
Very nice graphics, well done!
Rather spread sheety, can be fun though.
Nice graphics style but rather hard!
Very nice graphic style and cool destruction physics.
Really nice art style, but rather simplistic and the continuous movement gets annoying. Amazing art, however!
Nice take on the can't seen stealth genre, but doesn't really relate to the theme.
Fairly new gameplay and nice scrolling!
Nice different idea, but unity's web player doesn't really do right click.
Rather minimal, but has great graphics!
Very nice 3D graphics!
Incredibly innovative gameplay, very original!
Awesome graphics and good AI!
Really slick graphics with very original gameplay!
I have no idea what's going on, but whatever it is it's amazing!
A very cool 'mature' Pokemon! Nice job!
A nice take on a more 'futile' Villain and +1 for the knights of nee! ;)
I found the jumping a little floaty, fun anyway!
Smooth camera controls! Rather hard, though.
Great art!
Interesting if a bit repetitive.
You should probably port it to plain Java so more people can play. I think that would count as a port in the rules.
Cool graphics. But not much gameplay and you move too slowly.
I couldn't even turn.
Good concept, but the camera clipping, high mouse sensitivity and lack of graphics let it down.
Really nice, I think I'll bookmark it for later!
Interesting map editor, not much gameplay.
Nice with smooth gameplay, good art and none of the control issues of you last LD game! Well done!
I can't run the unity web player. :(
Interesting gameplay, not really on theme though.
Nicely done, very slick and fun.
Nice art but I really can't get on with the control scheme.
Quite fresh and original gameplay with cool graphics.
Not really sure what to do, there doesn't seem to be much gameplay. Looks great, though!
Fresh if a bit basic gameplay with a nice art style.
Nice movement and a good sense of speed!
Great graphics, and nice physics!
Great GUI art and nice lighting.
Really good graphics and I like the Monty Python concept.
Incredible graphics with fun gameplay. I got stuck when I ran out of cells, but it was fun before that.
Nice idea with mostly good graphics (except the guards) but the inverted mouse really makes it almost unplayable, you should probably make it optional.
Nice concept but the gameplay is a bit obscure.
Nice graphics, unfortunately very over done gameplay.
Very interesting Slender-like game. Rather funny win screen as well.
Technically pretty cool, but the goons must be incredibly powerful!
Nice one, I like the concept and the graphics!
Very nice opening cut-scene and the graphics are great!
Gameplay was rather pain and repetitive but the concept isn't bad.
Nice gameplay, music and graphics, shame about the Deus ex machina, though.
Very funny, well done. Can't wait for the continuation.
Nice concept and technically the gameplay seem very impressive but I didn't know how to beat the first level beat the first level.
I found the controls a bit obscure but I like the concept.
Nice graphics and +1 for an in game menu system. However, I couldn't jump high enough.
Nice RPG like thing, not really on theme, though.
Nice montage, shame that the gameplay is rather unoriginal.
Very nice graphics and interesting gameplay, but I got a bit stuck by the end.
Very nice, strangely funny! It's really refreshing to see a non-combat game!
Very nice but I did run out of ammo rather fast.
Quite good, nice gameplay.
It won't render for me :(
The new (if slight more complicated) super hexagon! Great!
A very simple, kind of repetitive, super crate box with nice art.
Just seems like tetris, I couldn't seem to change the piece.
Rather fun, the controls took some getting used to but the sense of speed was amazing! I managed 100k, quite easy once you get going.
Not bad, the art is a bit unclean and the game didn't reset properly. Other than that pretty good.
I like the graphics style but didn't really know what to do. I think a mini map would have been good. Not bad, though.
Really, amazing game! Great atmosphere, sound and story. Probably, overall, the best game I've played so far. However, there were some issues, such as the game auto jumping constantly while being a pixel and the rate of firing in the second stage. Very good, despite this!
Could have possibly used some sort of evolving underling monster or something, that maybe chased you like the weeping angels or even, Slender Man. Despite this, I still jumped at the end. However, I was more annoyed by the visual, static(y) build up than actually scared.
Not bad, but I found it very hard as I can't type very quickly. Nice graphics, though.
Very interesting, calming music, fun progression and good pacing. Overall, very good!
Nice mechanic but aiming is rather clunky and after I ran out of DNA I couldn't finish the level.
Very solid and smooth, with a really nice mechanic!
Worked fine as many Love2D games have, really nicely done. With great art and music but not much progression, or even evolution. Overall great, could use expanding on!
Fun with a strong mechanic, and rather innovative! Unfortunately it lagged very badly and became almost unplayable, despite changing the quality. This is probably due to using flash but it's still hurt my enjoyment of the game. :(
Really solid and fun! First game I've played with a simple, innovative and fun mechanic! Well done for your first game!
Nice overall with an ok engine but far to easy. Also still had the unable to respawn bug in the .JAR file.
Really interesting, nice graphics and smooth, polished gameplay!
Fun to play, absolutely no idea what I was doing or why I was doing it!
Interesting but had to translate it from Italian and I think that may have broken it. :( However, from what I managed to read I didn't find much on the theme, but still had to scrape my mind off the floor.
Almost infallible, amazing with very nice graphics and innovative gameplay. I did however find it rather hard and unforgiving, especially once I got to the bit in the main screenshot.
Rather nice, no real problems except for the text disappearing to fast. Fun to play, well done.
Incredibly interesting, did get rather lost, though. would be nice to have some little pointer or tutorial.
Really nice! Lovely music, and interesting story. Got a bit lost, but very nice overall, well done!
Very interesting, nice to play with great music. Unfortunately I couldn't find out how to upgrade, found it weird not to be able to use WASD to move and got lost and died while off the edge of the screen due to lack of boundary collision.
Although, still strong overall!
Collision is rather clunky, kept hitting terrain despite having jumped and seemingly missed the obstacle. Found it fun to start with but couldn't workout how the transforming was meant to help. :(
Really fun and very on theme!
Very nice take on Conway's game of life! The mouse movement is a little slippery but great fun anyway!
Really interesting, with nice quick level progression. Well done!
Nice graphics, fun gameplay and, as usual, enormous game for such a short time span!
Very nice music and fun once I realised what to do! But only made it to wave 107. :)
Overall, very slick and fun with really nice and humorous cut-scenes. One, small issue I couldn't reach 700 as after three playthroughs I had 693 points and then on my fourth go started to lose points and didn't get to the 'true ending'. :( still very fun whilst playing, though!
Really nice UI art and concept, but I was a little confused with the gameplay, such as, why your health decreases so quickly. I tried twice to kill anything before running out of health but couldn't help dying and so, found that a bit unfair. Still definitely not the worst game I've played, though.
Really addicting but fun to play! Could have used some stars in the background, though and a tutorial.
Good job, I liked the upgrades. The movement, however was a bit awkward making docking and not crashing pretty hard.
Definitely has potential but I couldn't finish it as I crash into the ground after getting a few upgrades and I didn't want to start again.
Hi, really great game, one thing that did put me off, though, is that once you can see the whole screen its almost impossible to tell what areas of the map you haven't yet explored and coupled with the static map it makes 100% completion practically impossible. Otherwise technically it seems very strong and the dialogue in places was amazing! Well done, can't wait for The Ascent! (or whatever your going to call it).

Undercowver by PixelStuff 2015-08-26T20:01:00
Really nice look to the game, there are how ever at least one of these UFO cow stealing games per jam so no points for originality there. :) But a nicely presented game all the same.
Hell Wars XVIII: Soul Harvest by quill18 2015-08-26T19:53:00
Very nice overall good audio decent art and fun gameplay, not much sense of threat though.
Dinner In The Dark by DinnerInTheDark 2015-08-26T17:18:00
A good solid game, workable art and a interesting mechanic, just a shame the actually feasting wasn't animated.
Zero NPCs by samcoy 2015-08-26T17:08:00
Hi you're really not meant to hotfix your compo entry only for very minor literal typos and crashes that mean you can't finish the game. If you want release a post compo version with the changes but you should still have a link to your original compo version, bugs and all.
GameApi chess by terop2 2015-08-26T17:05:00
Really just chess without any structure, I did win but I also lost. Nice artstyle.
Autobahn Monster by Indyo 2015-08-26T16:52:00
Fairly fun with a nice gameplay loop and level structure, the plot is pretty clunky though.
Mythos by eduardopras 2015-08-25T20:03:00
Amazing looking art and feel, unfortunatly I ran into a bug where I stoped moving after I left the first room and could only control the guy with the cape. I could make him jump really high though which was pretty funny.
DRUMSTER by SoulGame 2015-08-25T16:27:00
Nifty game, nice art and concept although I can't really see the theme. Still a good job, all-around.
Bear fury by Freebios 2015-08-25T12:35:00
Small issue with particle layering but energetic gameplay and a pretty good looking bear.
Who's the Boss? by fubenalvo 2015-08-25T12:22:00
The art/story is hardly original but I like what you did with the gameplay.
Otherworldly Stars by Sam Twidale 2015-08-25T03:14:00
Amazing visuals, but really not much more then a walking simulator. Worth playing if just for the art.
