Sausage Gobbler by Entity2D 2013-08-27T01:46:00

Like pretty much everyone here, I thought the goal was to eat all the sausages. Got THIS close to the giant sausage, but that damned bee every time!

Elemental Siege by DWallin 2013-08-27T01:24:00

Very good game concept, and looking good too! Would have been nice if the difficulty scaled a bit so you don't get overwhelmed early on. Had some fun with it :)

Corn PoP by 01rafael 2013-09-01T09:55:00

FATALITY. 40 highscore :D

This game feels very finished, like that a lot. Good graphics, gameplay and sound.

Robby by Morusque 2013-09-01T10:22:00

Very funny game, loved the humor behind it. Didn't discover how to beat it tho!

TimeFlex by jprogman 2013-08-27T10:46:00

2023 points! And still 23 timeflexes left. ;)

So every time you time flex, the game gets added to a list for you to come back for? And when you pick up clocks you get more time, interesting.

It is much easier to get points in the fireball games btw. I had a lot of fun with it still.

Chronored by kidanger 2013-09-02T11:58:00

Challenging game. Mechanics are smooth and well-explained. Difficulty ramps up great. Great that you implemented health so people can't just bounce themselves to the goal.

The Ten Ten Seconders by Subi 2013-08-27T13:50:00

The easiest strategy is actually to just dodge everything and not fire a single bullet, they will kill themselves anyway. :p

Still an enjoyable little game, had some fun playing with it .

Anti - Explosive Babies by ToadieTechnika 2013-09-01T09:38:00

Enjoyed playing this game for a while, the physics are fun to play around with! I noticed there were a few levels which were basically the same situation mirrored twice, you should watch out with that, doesn't add much to the level.

Lair Raid by Parappa 2013-09-01T09:51:00

At one point in the game, 2 of my characters started one-hitting bosses with 5000-10000 dmg hits. :p

To be honest, why would you ever want to change characters if they level up? You just stick to your first characters anyway. That makes for 20 seconds of waiting with nothing to do. Otherwise it's fun to watch the monsters get wiped out.

Good concept, could use some fleshing out!

Robots vs. Evil Zombie Birds by jaspreetdhanjan 2013-09-01T10:11:00

Got a score of 341. What I don't get is that I'm firing left most of the time, or down-left. Aiming is really off! A restart button is always nice too.

Criticism aside, it's still a fun little game to play. I like how there are multiple maps :)

Ten-2nd Scientist by whiteravens 2013-08-27T02:05:00

This game is very enjoyable! Cute art and fun minigames makes for good time passing.

Your last 10" by Sithdown 2013-09-02T12:03:00

The concept to avoid your death by using anything but yourself is great. I've seen more polished games however.

Owned in 10 Seconds by wtfrara 2013-08-27T14:46:00

I don't have a clue what is going on, are you supposed to play purely on the defense or do you have to attack too? Also is the bitcoins thing a joke, how do you get them ingame?

Switching Trap by Kimidori 2013-08-27T10:54:00

Very good game! I think "Switching Traps" is a very appriate name btw. My end score was 2.06 I think (is that the time in minutes?). Had a little trouble with the jumping, seems like you have to wait an extra frame before the player fully touches the ground.

Kickbox by Epiphane 2013-08-27T01:42:00

It's hard to judge a game like this without someone to play against nearby, but the quirky engine makes for some good fun.

QuickHunt by MvdLaar 2013-08-27T11:06:00

It's amazing how you managed to put up so much animations in this amount of time! Really adds to the game. It's a fun concept, but it's also frustrating sometimes to be running around the entire map when you don't see the right animal.

Rather daring to put it up on Kongregate already btw ;)

SUPER NUKE ROMAN EMPIRE by brogrammers 2013-08-27T01:34:00

Fun game, played it through twice! I like how you thought up a nice setting for the game.

laGrengine by fdevant 2013-08-26T22:38:00

Actually managed to beat it! Pretty hard to actually hit things, but it was fun to play around for a bit. It has been said a lot, but the font wasn't very pleasant to read. Luckily it doesn't matter for the actual game ^^

Wait what... you did multiple themes? :o

Ninja Cube by 2A1S 2013-09-01T09:14:00

A neat little game. What's important with such trial and error games is that you can quickly restart, takes a bit of the fun away if you have to wait 3 seconds every time you die! (e.g. Super Meat Boy)

Lead to Live by Herman Groenenboom 2013-08-27T18:09:00

@almightyzentaco
Sadly enough we didn't really have any good idea's for an end condition, nor did we have time left to work on one. I agree that the timer on its own isn't very fulfilling.

Hunt by Finn Stokes 2013-09-01T09:40:00

Local multiplayer AND controller exclusive...? I don't even have words for this :'(

squaredare by Inertia 2013-08-27T11:18:00

The irony of a game being pointless, when it is actually about points. :') I scored 28,500!

"Hmm, this isn't too bad, plenty of time for grabs. Hah, I could do this all day! ... OH GOD THE -8's ARE EVERYWHERE."

Loved playing this, because even if it's a small game, it's very polished! (except for spawning in a wall on my first try, hmp)

The Link by simonnaus 2014-08-25T21:42:00

Dem worms. Took a while to understand but can't make a full tutorial for a jam game haha. Really nice graphics and more difficult that it looks.

deer hunter by rubna 2014-08-25T22:49:00

Delicious, scrumptious pixels. Mhhhh. The plot twist was really unexpected haha, that's what you get for shooting deer I guess. Plays really nicely too.

Hammer Man by Wolve 2014-08-25T22:41:00

Not a lot of gameplay but the guys swinging around and the funny end sound more than made up for that. Looks good too!

Far, far away by 4KbShort 2014-08-25T11:15:00

Liked it! Clever idea and smart use of time. The overal atmosphere is good and it's easy to play. Especially liked the EXTERMINATE option. Yes I'm evil. >:D

Virtuoso by Doubstract 2014-08-25T12:14:00

I laughed a lot at some of the texts you had to write :)
It's funny in some ways but not very enjoyable to just mash buttons.

Driver's License by Sanguine 2014-08-25T13:15:00

This is a lot of fun! Definitely an amazing take on the theme.

Got all kinds of lovely messages from the other contestants too. :D

Dario Runner by Herman Groenenboom 2014-08-25T13:16:00

We aren't really artists so it was hard to convey the idea better than this. ;)

In any case, I'll ramp up the difficulty a bit!
