Not Quite Alone by Bloodyaugust 2012-01-06T16:53:00

I press Q and W on open spaces but nothing happens for me?

Mini Blue Box Boy by Mr. Wonko 2012-01-06T16:28:00

Took me a while to realise you can wall jump, so I was stuck on the 2nd level for a bit.

Then it turned into a standard super meat boy style plat-former, only the difficulty is insane.

I had fun

Lonely God Dude by alfredofreak 2012-01-06T16:22:00

I can't figure out what to do, do you simply just watch the dudes attack each other? It seemed like just a demonstration video, really really couldn't figure out what to do sorry.

Aloneasaurus Rex by jovoc 2012-01-06T16:20:00

My review is based on the video.

Looks like there's no difficulty curve and based from the video it looks like it didn't capture the theme too well, but the touch screen controls for the land is great idea, very original.

Follower by bobbobowitz 2012-01-06T16:18:00

You didn't correctly destroy the graphics when you close the game so you get a "Stopped working" message, use destroy_bitmap(mybitmap); at the end of the run time and make sure every bitmap is destroyed.

The difficulty curve is non-existant, there's no training, it's a shame as it's quite solid, just that it's instantly near-impossible.

The double jump wasn't even hinted at, so I nearly gave up on the first jump until I read that there is a double jump from the comments on this page.

Really is a shame, this could have been very good.

Friend by gmfreaky 2012-01-06T02:50:00

This was very fun, very original, I was like "Not another platformer!" but then I started pushing the boxes around :D

The friend was a nice addition, but I can't quite get them to jump over the pits.

Are you still there? by rynti 2012-01-06T02:42:00

I also get a blank, white screen. Sorry!

Alone In Space by Gregory 2012-01-06T02:40:00

Why are so many games using that damn XNA installer! Get rid of it!

I have no clue what you were supposed to do in this game, lol.

Enneige by envy3d 2012-01-06T02:38:00

Not another entry that requires an installer! Bah!

It got boring after day 1, but it had a lot of potential!

You Are (Not) Alone by De10ter 2012-01-06T02:26:00

Very good, spooky and mysterious. Shame it lacks content.

Descension by bigbadwofl 2012-01-06T02:23:00

I love voxel graphics :D

I killed everything on the first level, but nothing happened afterwards?

Am I Alone? by semaperepelitsa 2012-01-06T02:22:00

Not another one of these zombie shooter games!

I didn't have fun, but I liked the messages at the bottom right.

Lonely Space by guru-guru 2012-01-06T02:19:00

I had fun, but there were sections where you get stuck.

ESS: Escape the space station by Silodon 2012-01-06T02:13:00

It was short and easy to play.

Loyd's Tale by pillowdrift 2012-01-06T02:10:00

It was fun and moody, but it later became too difficult for me to stay interested. It's better than the other 600 generic plat-formers that were submitted.

AL One - Artificial Lifeform #001 by s0ulcrusher 2012-01-06T02:06:00

It worked for me, but I really didn't get the game, I shot every head, but then what? Didn't seem really intuitive at all.

Missin Kitten by goosefraba19 2012-01-06T02:00:00

I really couldn't figure out how to run it after installing pygame and I don't have the patience, sorry you should research into building it into an executable.

Alone and Stranded by AwesomeKT 2012-01-06T01:57:00

I don't get why it needed an installer, makes it annoying to run.

The game itself has a concept, but it no variety. Just seemed like a button mash that only works 40% of the time.

Sleepwalker by LucaPavone 2012-01-03T16:53:00

I found the dialogue to be really immature, the graphics fit, but I wasn't really compelled to keep playing, I started clicking like mad then stopped when I read "Dunny", what the hell is a dunny?

*Looks it up*

Ah it's Australian slang, I stopped playing when I read dunny and saw the porn mag, just thought "This is getting silly, I'm getting no where".

The audio was perfect though, the piano notes coming in with the clicks worked very very well, even if the sound is overwritten it works well, it fit with the graphics too.

Sandwich Quest by G 2012-01-03T16:49:00

It runs at 1 frame every 2 seconds on windows, probably because your timers are incorrect, I liked the idea though.

Solitude by dastry 2012-01-03T16:46:00

It was funny, but became hard.
Didn't like the controls.

Only complaint is the collision box, seemed like I lost lives despite there being a big gap between the "cats" and the avatar.

Alone in Space by fakeshadows 2012-01-03T16:43:00

When you don't find the story and run out of fuel then you're stuck without being able to do anything, it seems like it was tested very much, ran out of time?

Loneliness by Vit 2012-01-03T16:40:00

The beeping with each message is very annoying, a bloop would have been easier on the ears.

If you leave the game running in the background for a while the fog disappears, then where ever you walk you always end up to where the broken robot is.

Is the background supposed to be black? In the screen shots above there's tiles drawn, I'm not seeing those when I play?

I'm guessing when I played it it was rather bugged.

A run button would have been nice :D

Starlighter by kutuup1989 2012-01-03T16:32:00

Long intro was very very annoying.

I'm afraid I got the instant game-over bug too, there is also no way to close the program (Tried Alt F4 which works for me with other allegro-made titles), when I did manage to close it I got a "Program Stopped Working" error.

Sokobot by kpullen 2012-01-03T16:28:00

No download, no play, no rating.

LDKittenRL by zackhovatter 2012-01-03T16:28:00

I like it, I didn't actually find it difficult which is good as I usually die within 2 hours on rogue-likes.

The simple game-play does good for it, installing was a pain and running it was too (I'm on Windows), once it was running all was good.

The Last Man on Earth by h.attila 2012-01-03T16:20:00

The timing needed is frustrating to the point of annoyance and it felt slow. The intro had lots of text which i skipped over, and at the barracks the text was in the way of one of the enemies for me, making it hard to shoot them.

The hit box for the player is too wide, i tried jumping onto a ledge but would hit against the corner and died as the hit box was so wide.

I am Alone by berky 2012-01-02T01:51:00

I kind of scared me, I liked it, it really hit the mood for me, but didn't really feel alone.

Escape by Jaime von Schwarzburg 2012-01-02T01:48:00

You can move in four directions, but it's restricted, would have been nice if there was more exploration and if it was serious too, perhaps a game where you're blind and you only have the sense of touch and sound described to you as you move?

Alone - Island Generator by Spujika 2012-01-02T01:45:00

Feels a bit clunky (All tile-based, even movement, no diagonal movement either).

The Lonely Island by Bezza 2011-12-29T18:13:00

liked Wilson

Space Game!!! by TrevorDasch 2011-12-19T15:13:00

Annoying that I had to download an engine for it to work.

It crashed part way through so I was unable to play it, sorry.

The Lonesome Pixel by Kaslai 2011-12-19T15:10:00

It was hard as nails. That's all I really have to say, wasn't fun enough for me to get through it.

Lone Wolf by Oliver Simon 2011-12-19T15:06:00

Very nice, the bridge finding was annoying, didn't like that the camera could look up and down but not turn, it was like it was thrown in there just to show off the moon.

Hikikomori by quasi 2011-12-19T14:57:00

It was a nice take on the "you-gotta-burn-the-rope" style game, i was confused as to what to do, but when i worked it out it was good.

Crazy Old Cat Lady by Indivicivet 2011-12-19T14:54:00

I need to say that SDL is a requirement, you need to download all the DLLs and throw them into the game folder for it to work.

Didn't feel alone, it was a good take on the sheep herding style game, but you obviously didn't finish it in time.

Abandoned by Noel Berry 2011-12-19T14:50:00

Brilliant, however it was rather dull near the end, nothing really changed it was same-styled puzzled. Got a bit confusing with the amount of screen turnings that occurred.

Leave Me Alone! by blahoink 2011-12-19T14:44:00

Oh my god, it's so simple, but so so so funny.
I didn't even realise it was notch until they said it was.

Had lots of fun, I don't get why the timer was there (I never died, quit when I got bored), but I was laughing the entire time. The title graphic is priceless.

Worlds End by ControllerKid 2011-12-19T14:39:00

Another platformer.
Get the key, get to the door.

The box form is a brilliant idea, loved it, but seemed rather pointless.

Had a bug where the robot went mega, mega fast with movement.

The Lone Adventurer by harusame 2011-12-19T14:35:00

It is a platformer, not much variation, too difficult early on, didn't really pull me in. The vibrant colours didn't help towards the mood or theme.

Punished by StormForce 2011-12-19T14:27:00

It was way too short, not so...engrossing. Feels like you did it in a minute in paint and GM.

Dark and Alone by Keehan12 2011-12-19T14:24:00

I liked the graphics a lot, but I dislike the bug on level 2, if you die you get a bit stuck in the ceiling on respawn.
It was too silent for my liking.

Speed to Freedom by helloserve 2011-12-19T14:20:00

It still generates impossible situations (I had an entire blocked wall with a tiny, tiny, tiny gap in the middle once).

It was okay

Dwarven Isolation by Milo 2011-12-19T14:15:00

Windows version doesn't load, when I have access to a Mac I'll come back and rate this, sorry.

Joe Vs. Loneliness by N427 2011-12-19T14:12:00

It was really fun, but one problem, there is infinite jump. I just got my neice to help me win, she would jump i would mash the arrow keys, never needed to use the slide.

Dark Isolation by ekun 2011-12-19T14:07:00

Excellent, I like rogue-likes, but I couldn't really get too far as there were always bears around me to kill me quick.
Love it.

Volcanox by leafo 2011-12-19T14:02:00

It was great, nice gameplay, i played it twice which is a good sign, it reminded me of metroid. Hated the respawn rate of the enemies, kill one and another drops on your head.

Alone with zombies by petterroea 2011-12-19T13:58:00

I couldn't work out how to change back to melee weapon so I died once i ran out of ammo, also couldn't get any money to buy stuff, the upgrading barricades is good. Didn't really fit the theme, alone...with zombies. Not really alone when they are zombies there to hug you

Not/Alone by davecheesefish 2011-12-19T13:52:00

The alternating worlds is a good idea, but the simple graphics didn't convey it very well. It is more of an impressive HTML5 demo than a game that has loneliness

Adrift by johnl 2011-12-19T13:49:00

It's a maze game with things that shoot at you and obstacles that delay you, it kept me on my toes with running and dodging, i did eventually die, it felt like i wasn't really progressing, seeing the same graphics over and over

The Amazing but Lonesome Adventures of Greg the Spaceman by dem0 2011-12-19T13:41:00

It was super fun, just like most landing games.
The hand-drawn graphics are a big++, very nicely done.

Sound fits.

Difficulty is a bit too hard, but once mastered it's fine.

Didn't know the fuel metre was for fuel, thought it was health.

Take care of the trees by prettymuchbryce 2011-12-19T13:33:00

Graphics and audio worked well, generally it was short, sweet and enjoyable. Don't understand where the saving trees comes into it.

Brothers by austinbreed 2011-12-19T13:27:00

I think it was great, the music was nice and fit well, the gameplay was easy to pick up, hard to master, there are different levels as well so it progresses nicely, and it really captured the mood

The Last Leech by Daz 2011-12-19T13:23:00

It would have been nice to have level advancements in the form of short breaks, the problem with the survival forever games is that you need short lullings for the player to rest during

Depressive by caribou 2011-12-19T13:19:00

Your game is broken, may need to download it to a test computer to fix it, I tried everything to try and make it work except recompiling the source.

Lonely Robot's Kitten Quest by Beerman 2011-12-19T13:06:00

The isometry-2 colour graphics was innovative and fun, but made the judgement of distance difficult, perhaps a 3rd colour for shadowing would have helped?

Santa's Survival by TerranLol 2011-12-19T13:02:00

It wasn't very good, seems like a 20 minute job rather than 2 days?
