Wilhelm's Escape by glovecat 2013-12-21T17:43:00

Amazing visuals, great atmosphere, and fun gameplay! Excellent job!

Dragon Child by fractoluminous 2013-12-20T02:02:00

An interesting minimalist narrative. I felt the constant jumps between pages made for a sort of disjointed feel to the whole story, which added to the mystery, but it didn't give me a whole lot of context with which to make the choices, and as such I felt like they lacked some of the narrative weight they could have had. Still, an interesting piece that I could definitely see being expanded.

An ordinary story about death by irma vep 2013-12-19T22:06:00

Well-told, although I thought that some of the choices were unclear and the medium of the interactive narrative could have been utilized better. That said, it's a powerful tale and you really get the sense of emotion from it. The song was a very nice touch too. Overall, very well done, and thanks for sharing this with us.

Starbeard: The Curse of the Space Whales by Those 30 Ninjas 2013-12-18T21:15:00

Fun mechanic and definitely felt very pirate-y. Great job!

Lumen by Nelien 2013-12-18T21:00:00

Astounding visuals and audio, super innovative mechanic, and amazing overall feel. Excellent job!

APOKEALYPSE by OnionBlaze 2013-12-18T19:45:00

Interesting idea, and pretty fun!

VisiOne by ThatGuy 2013-12-18T19:43:00

Very interesting idea, and pretty fun to play! Good job!

You Only Get 1! by Danman9914 2013-12-18T19:13:00

Funny concept and fun execution! Loved the music! Great job!

The Great Quest of Internship by Ekilibr 2013-12-18T19:09:00

Cool concept and generally well-executed. If you plan on submitting this as it stands in English, you've got several grammar errors which, while not too bad, do detract from the professional feel of it if you intend to use this as a CV - I'd recommend having a native speaker read through it. Just some friendly advice!

Moments of Paranoia by SpellingPhailer 2013-12-18T19:04:00

Cool concept and good atmosphere, but the text moved maddeningly slowly. Good job overall, though!

One Douchebag by raisedmedia 2013-12-18T19:00:00

Funny stuff.

One way out by lennaert 2013-12-18T18:45:00

Cool looking, and I guess you were going for "only one life"? But it was really unclear what to do after that, other than fly around pointlessly.

You only get one! (match) by Fenixin 2013-12-18T18:41:00

Well-done in terms of art and music, really captures that arcade-charm!

OP is OP by TeamQuadratic 2013-12-18T18:35:00

Awesome music, but the physics system is really annoying and makes things that seem like they should be simple become extremely frustrating.

Ultimate Wish by Carduus 2013-12-18T03:05:00

Amazing graphics and interesting gameplay mechanics! A truly awesome job!

One Minute Rogue by Verrazano 2013-12-18T02:49:00

Great music, fun little game!

An Ashwick Winter by killerstarbunny 2013-12-17T21:58:00

Felt like there was too much "hang time" of nothing in between each decision. The music is good and the art is passable. The font chosen is kind of hard to read, and I would have liked a bit more emotional context for making the decisions - I don't know anything about the son, the daughter, the wife, etc.

That said, it's a solid start!

Leap of Faith by Ysty 2013-12-17T21:48:00

Pretty sweet overall, although the jumps are hard to control and the text looked bad. Still, the overall visual presentation and audio was good and it was fun!

At The Count Of 3, Baby, I Hope I Disappear by Joker 2013-12-17T21:44:00

Confusing, but intriguing at the same time. had no idea what to do, but I liked the multiple angles mechanic and think it could be a lot of fun if expanded on.

One Outcome (is all you get) by bitserum 2013-12-17T21:40:00

Interesting, really conveys a good sense of mood!

Out by eli 2013-12-17T21:36:00

Causes a CATastrphic meltdown to your browser, but worth it.

Medieval Fantasy Island by aayars 2013-12-17T21:30:00

Well you definitely succeed in making a beautiful game that I'm impressed you did in the time! Combat's a bit stale but the little touches like auto-run are great and really, this is quite an impressive endeavor! I can only imagine what something you guys work on for a while must be like and I'd love to see more!

One Conversation by SenorDiablo 2013-12-17T21:21:00

Fun little game with a nice message!

One Last Hack by PlayHabit 2013-12-17T21:13:00

Funny music and interesting gameplay!

The Witch's Weak Point by Agram 2013-12-17T18:25:00

Beautiful art, great soundtrack, and interesting gameplay - the full package! I can't get over how polished this game looks and feels!

The Hotdog Parable by SunShiranui 2013-12-17T18:21:00

The controls took some time to discover, but the game is pretty decent and the art is great!

Smooth Operator by pjchardt 2013-12-17T18:13:00

Plays very cleanly, the graphics and audio are great too! Sweet game!

This world is broken by toaster 2013-12-17T18:11:00

Cool graphics and the mechanic and its use is quite clever!

Spell by dark_hunter 2013-12-17T18:06:00

Solid gameplay and an impressive amount of cards!

Me and My Box by Kaslai 2013-12-17T18:00:00

Sweet visuals. Gameplay is short, but it's obvious you intended more, which is fine. Animations are also quite well done, so kudos there.

Monoskill by Smitty333 2013-12-17T17:56:00

Impressive variety of skills and fun, frantic gameplay! Great job!

The Vigilante: Single Shot Justice by MagnesiumNinja 2013-12-17T03:30:00

Great art, good music, and an excellently told and compelling story. Bravo!

Like a Boss by Skulls 2013-12-17T03:16:00

The boss fights were pretty creative, fun stuff!

Air by TFJO 2013-12-17T02:48:00

Good music and funny opening text!

One Video Game by SoundGuy 2013-12-17T02:33:00

Funny stuff, great ending! Liked the video format.

YOLO, Obviously by carlsommer 2013-12-17T02:16:00

I was going to be disappointed in your reductionist views of utilitarianism, but then I realized you were actually talking about utAlitarians. And I think we can all agree, those guys suck.

That said, the dialog was pretty funny, and you DO say up front that it represents your views, so I can't really fault you there.

Shades of One by tommakesgames 2013-12-17T02:08:00

Good music, and I like the message. Physics and jumping managed to be entertaining too. One thing I will say though is that theme repetition isn't entirely due to the same people making it - it's also because of things like cost (why you see so many indie pixel art games) and just the difficulty of making a game that pushes people towards a "safe" genre game instead of an art game - often, it's just too much to risk what could be months of years of work for the sake of art. That said, yeah, diversity would help.

The Click Of Destiny by Integershift 2013-12-17T01:56:00

That was...weird. Interesting...but weird.

The Day the Laughter Stopped by Crabman 2013-12-17T01:44:00

Powerful use of the interactive fiction medium. Excellent. I think this is a great way to talk about a subject like this.

Put A Word On It by Anachron 2013-12-17T01:16:00

Funny and great music! Short, but hey, you made it in 48 hours!

Science Ship Cleomedes by KunoNoOni 2013-12-17T01:14:00

Fun game, nice combo of music and graphics. Difficult, but interesting!

The Only Journey by Cthulhu 2013-12-16T21:44:00

Loved the song. Pretty weird, though.

A Little Bit of Everything by pom9898 2013-12-16T21:38:00

Weird, but sort interesting!

Wraith by AgentParsec 2013-12-16T21:36:00

Decently scary, and I love the music! Great job!

Free Sample Sim by Jack Zackowitz 2013-12-16T21:30:00

Funny, and the memory gameplay works well!

Loops of Fate by Symmeteer 2013-12-16T20:59:00

Cool concept, although I felt like the 'hit box' for the loops was a bit small. Still, pretty fun and creative!

NUCLEAR by backflipppp 2013-12-16T20:53:00

Atmospheric, although I think it's way too dark. Good choices for music and sound!

The Last Promise by Team-KwaKwa 2013-12-16T20:41:00

Story was intriguing and DAMN those graphics! Not to mention the mood, the way the text was displayed...it's amazing! Sure, all you do is walk, but when everything is like THAT it's all you need to do. Excellent!

You can become only one!!1 by multikorv 2013-12-16T20:35:00

Cool concept and fun gameplay!

You only get one COLOUR by soy_yuma 2013-12-16T20:26:00

Excellent and innovative mechanic and the story parts were solid too! Would love to see this expanded on!

One Hour, One Shot, One Way Out? by Eskoala 2013-12-16T20:16:00

Interesting, but suffers from a lot of trial and error due to not that many actions being supported and there not really being a guide for which to take.

One Soul by edrache 2013-12-16T20:14:00

Cool premise and great graphics! Short, but sweet!

[OBVIOUS] by hate-marina 2013-12-16T20:11:00

Liked the music, but I was a bit (see what I did there?) unclear on exactly what to do. Still, a solid showing!

Dat Pig Yo! by Samsturai22 2013-12-16T20:07:00

Loved the graphics, music, and the quirky concept!

Gods of Baloo by timtipgames 2013-12-16T20:02:00

Great graphics, good atmosphere, and an interesting story. Controls took some getting used to, but I imagine that's a large part of the intended challenge of the game.

Leapof-8 by chamberlainpi 2013-12-16T19:52:00

Nice graphics and I found the little death messages quite funny. The game's not very 'deep' (if you'll pardon my pun) but it's a good time while it lasts!

Only One World by Calahagus 2013-12-16T19:46:00

Interesting game, and I feel like it could definitely be worth expanding! Thought the mechanics worked well and the visuals were cool. But my favorite part was the soundtrack - it totally captured the theme for me. Great job!

One shot, One opportunity. by Sr. Nice 2013-12-16T19:33:00

Solid gameplay, felt smooth. Not the most original implementation of the theme, but it worked and provided a pretty fun time!

Pizza Delivery Hero by Recursiveanomaly 2013-12-16T19:30:00

Graphics are fun, music is cheery, gameplay is pretty typical endless runner fare, but works. I had fun boosting off the fire hydrants! Solid showing!

Mr.Rect by Mindtricks 2013-12-16T19:25:00

I'm getting a 'this computer can't run this because zlib.dll is missing'. I'm running Windows 7.

Epic bird fight by Hiku 2013-12-16T19:20:00

Controls are kind of crazy, but I loved all the bird designs!

Can you hear me? by Jago 2013-12-16T19:15:00

Cool concept (I'm actually working on a game with the same "hearing only" premise myself!) but it's not working for me in Firefox.

Mikes toy by d_0o_d 2013-12-16T19:02:00

Fun game, good use of the theme and puzzle platformer mechanics, loads really slow for what it is though.

UniFlagellete by vanaficionado 2013-12-16T18:54:00

Waited for quite a while after clicking survival and it just wasn't loading, sorry man.

Casual Friday by TheWhiteLlama 2013-12-16T18:50:00

Choosing jump height down is kind of a problem, and I have NO idea what the heck you were going for with the visuals and the concept and everything, but it was still kind of fun to beat suited men to death with a key, so you have that going for you. Could have used a crazy fast techno loop soundtrack.

You Only Get 1 by haltoncz 2013-12-16T18:46:00

Weird, but a super clever premise, and some of the questions were really interesting. Cool idea, bro!

Redneck Safari by pereubu 2013-12-16T18:34:00

Amazing! AMERICA SALUTES YOU, SIR

Singular by nerial 2013-12-16T18:30:00

Interesting story and the mechanics are interesting, if rather trial-and-error.

You Only Get One Life to Live by jsjwooowooo 2013-12-16T18:25:00

You know, at first I thought I was making friends with the other squares, but after a while of them pushing me away and me wearing down their defenses I felt more like a cult leader than a friendly guy, Still, makes you think.

Refuge by chardish 2013-12-16T18:19:00

An interesting story. Could have used more build up and a clearer way to navigate the wherever they were, but a good attempt. For how short it was, the dialog conveyed a lot.

City of Death by dznemotion 2013-12-16T18:12:00

Sweet game, man! Love the atmosphere you've created, and it manages to really give you that 'Oh shit zombies are chasing me!' feeling. Excellent!

You Only Get To Save One by PEBKAC 2013-12-16T18:00:00

Controls were freaky, and the zombie just pile on you! The decision of who to save has pretty much no narrative weight, coming so soon and with essentially no context. Still, for 10% of what you were going for it's not bad.

My First Day at the Snowman Kit Factory! by loren 2013-12-16T17:51:00

Good concept, nice graphics, and an excellent simulation of being QA for a conveyor belt. Unfortunately, the main difficulty for that job is fighting boredom, which is probably the least useful enemy for a game.

You Only Get One Dollar! by VideahGams 2013-12-16T17:45:00

Funny stuff!

Time Detective by mruno 2013-12-16T17:39:00

Avast! is detecting this as Malware and refusing to run it, sorry man!

The 9th Life by adcrusher 2013-12-16T17:31:00

Fun concept and good graphics but how the heck are you supposed to beat jetpack dogs? I couldn't quite jump high enough and they kept killing my cat.

Pilot's Last Stand by phi6 2013-12-16T17:27:00

Great sound and graphics, controls were a little difficult, but it was fun!

You Only Get One Shot: Eminem Rapping Simulator by Afal 2013-12-16T17:24:00

Pretty funny, and the graphics cross the threshold of 'so bad they're good' for sure. I would have liked the game to play faster, and for the sounds to change more often, but for a jam game, it works!

Diamond Warning by canary40 2013-12-16T17:18:00

Despite the simplicity, I liked the graphics, especially the way your bullets fire out in this wavering cascade - it's cool. Solid gameplay too!

Drain by hydancer 2013-12-16T17:12:00

Sweet aesthetics and an interesting premise!

One man, one shot by lightsoda 2013-12-16T06:37:00

Gameplay is a little shaky, but the graphics and music are top-notch. Would love to see a more fleshed out game in this style, for sure!

GRAIL by pLaw 2013-12-16T06:32:00

Great graphics and interesting gameplay, if rather difficult. Excellent implementation of the theme! I can't tell you how unnerving it is to walk towards a pit having to trust that my character will jump for me. Fun stuff!

One Minute To War by squibbons 2013-12-16T06:21:00

An interesting concept and cool visuals (sort of remind me of "Papers, please"). The gameplay is a bit stale, but overall, not a bad effort.

One Life by SnoringFrog 2013-12-16T06:15:00

A solid piece piece overall, but I felt like I could have used a bit more build-up. Going straight from being a little kid to disappointment over over-priced Mexican food to having to make a life-changing decision was a bit jarring. That said, it was well-written, and for the time frame, I thought it was a good showing.

My Old Kentucky Home by emmelineprufrock 2013-12-16T06:11:00

Good story, gets across the feeling of isolation well, and you make good use of the Twine medium (hit him again and again). The songs are also amazing! Great job overall!

No double jump :( by Wspon 2013-12-16T06:04:00

Somewhat misleading title, but a very interesting gameplay gimmick! Creative and pretty fun to boot!

Cat Gentlemans Play: Insult Spinner 10 Cents by RobotLovesKitty 2013-12-16T06:00:00

Any game with gentleman cats and duck ladies gets five stars from me. I love that it's multiplayer too, well done!

A Cat and a Jetpack by dingotime 2013-12-16T05:50:00

Funny game, loved the choice of music and the theme. A great showing!

You Only Get One Nap by Gtoknu 2013-12-16T05:46:00

Cool concept, nice graphics, and pretty fun. Hard, though. This guy must be REALLY tired.

Unibrow by ViliX64 2013-12-16T05:39:00

Cool mechanic, and great job for the time limit! Would love to see this expanded on!

Speck by gman1012 2013-12-16T05:35:00

I felt like you did get across a sense of isolation, so if that's what you were going for you definitely succeeded. That said, a game about isolation feels a bit...empty.

Necronomnomnomicon by JoeProgram 2013-12-16T05:27:00

The controls are annoying, but this is a really creative idea, a funny premise, and great art, along with a solid soundtrack. Definitely an excellent showing! I'd like to see this expanded on!

The One Ring by Mocuto 2013-12-16T05:21:00

Fun concept, good music, good graphics. This was a good one!

One Life For Dead by Brunodev 2013-12-16T05:12:00

Not a bad game, pretty simple shoot-em'-up. Top-down pixel art makes for a weird point of view, but not terrible. I also thought that maybe the zombies had too much health, but that's a bit of a nit-pick.

You Only Get 1UP by Thein 2013-12-16T05:03:00

Love the graphics, love the music, LOVE the twist of classic Mario gameplay, and the humor works. Challenging, but keeps you coming back for more! My favorite game I've rated so far!

Out by SuperPokeunicorn 2013-12-16T04:56:00

Mood was great, story was interesting, and I really like the minimalist art style, but MAN was it HARD. Thank God there weren't lives in this game because that poor guy died over and over and over and over. His hitbox is just...weird and it threw me off quite a bit. Solid showing though.

Prototype by Cheshyr 2013-12-16T04:42:00

Not a bad attempt, but definitely feels unpolished (not that that's a bad thing - you only had 48 hours, after all). Man, these diamond-things are unfair - they get these crazy lasers and you only have this little...whatever your gun is. I think this isn't a bad concept, it just needs a lot more work - as you said, a bit overambitious.

Diner Devil! by voidqk 2013-12-16T04:36:00

Great graphics, a little hard to control and a lot to remember, but I guess that IS sort of the point of the game. Still, very solid! I could see this being expanded quite easily.

Dungeon Run by gusanolocovg 2013-12-16T04:28:00

As a huge fan of the original Rogue and Nethack, this game definitely had the nostalgia factor going on. A solid roguelike and an enjoyable old-school experience!

Monad by Piat 2013-12-16T04:14:00

An interesting concept, and I'm impressed at how far you got into making a god-game in 48 hours! A decent bit of fun, too - a very solid showing.

Bursts by sam1373 2013-12-16T04:09:00

A fun little romp, and pretty challenging. The music is actually quite cheery and I like the boxes for the graphics, it works. The quickness of the gameplay keeps you engaged and makes for a fun playtime.

Do not miss! by ambi 2013-12-16T04:03:00

Fun little game, I liked how the second level was a bit puzzle-y, although it took me a little bit to realize the villagers weren't actually enemies.
