Only 1 day left to rate games ! I\u2019ve rated about 160 games. I didn\u2019t really like \u201cMinimalism\u201d at first, but seeing how many great concepts people came up with, I guess it was a good theme after all \":)\"<\/p>\n

Here are some highlights, in no particular order.\n\n<\/a><\/p>\n

[placeholder] \u2013 mtrc \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"12174-shot2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a puzzle game for programmers, which is a great idea, as the audience here (us, participants) mostly is. Lines of commented code help you figure out what to do, and you have to deal with nasty bugs. Very cool !<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Unst \u2013 Milo \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"3ee6d9edabd14304dc39212925be7c0c\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

A very challenging puzzle game with a concept I\u2019ve never seen before.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Floating Point \u2013 7Soul \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"2958-shot0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A very uncommon entry. You have to have two browser windows opened side by side to play. On one side, there\u2019s the detailed world, on the other, there\u2019s the abstract world. It\u2019s a point and click game, and your actions on one world have an effect on the other. The graphics and mood are excellent.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

The Road \u2013 GeorgeBroussard \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"8631-shot0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This one nailed the theme in my opinion. The graphics are very minimal. You play a red square, you have to go forward and avoid stuff. The whole thing represents real life. When you die by hitting a black triangle for instance, the game tells what it represents, how you died in real life. Some deaths are very funny.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Street of Rave \u2013 TinyDrakkarStudio \u2013\u00a0Jam Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"23501-shot1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So much fun in this game ! You dance, and you have to run around people in the street to make them dance too. You have to avoid the walls and the cops that will chase you will make your life harder.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Minimal Annihilation \u2013 Zener \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"12819-shot0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Starcraft in 2D with minimal graphics. I think it\u2019s perfectly done, and the UI is very intuitive.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

MONO \u2013 timtipgames \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"15341-shot3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A highly polished and professional looking entry. An amazing work in 48 hours.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

CLRS \u2013 acatcalledfrank \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"1ab8561b689e76f3a85cb10020e49d63\"<\/a>\nAnother great looking entry with a very cool concept. Evil color circles are attacking you and you have to defend yourself by drawing lines of the right colors around you. It\u2019s a \u201cdraw-em-up\u201d, as the author says \":)\"<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Zip \u2013 Chronodrax \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"21759-shot0\"<\/a>\nA fun puzzle game with cool graphics and a very nice concept. The little character can absorb the color of the platform he\u2019s on, and then he\u2019ll be able to pass through any block of that color. You have to do things in the right order, or you\u2019ll fall !<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Schrodinger \u2013 myachin \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"10579-shot1\"<\/a>\nA very interesting experience where you play a wave function. You have to change state to go through obstacles, gain speed, and avoid the black hole that chases you. I really like how the graphics twist when you start to lose.\n\n<\/a><\/p>\n

nadir \u2013 Zillix \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"bc88d4db3863fd9a3f045fc75268b4d5\"<\/a>\nThis game tells a story in such an interesting way. Your character (a pink square) is falling and she\u2019s trying to remember what happened to her by reliving her dialogs with her fellow adventurers. While progressing through the memories, you have to avoid the dark walls around you, and it really adds something to the immersion.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Lunar Rain \u2013 LeafThief \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"3923-shot0\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A point and click with fantastic graphics and mood.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

L\u2019Hypnose \u2013 Wan & Almudys \u2013\u00a0Jam Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"9172-shot2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A very artsy, oniric experience.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Reich 18 \u2013 jerombd \u2013\u00a0Jam Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"d59094383329c0af5591d6f83ab3f54a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Game & Watch like looking game with awesome visuals. Really worth a look !<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/p>\n

Dragon Drop \u2013 Tom 7 \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"1984-shot1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A game with a great twist that made me smile \":)\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

LOOP \u2013 vandriver \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

\"4241-shot1\"<\/a>\nYou play as a crow in this entry with a fantastic mood and very cool graphics.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n\n

Escape Shaft \u2013 Zathalos \u2013\u00a048 Hour Compo Entry<\/i><\/h3>\n

<\/p><\/a>\n\"644fa72423da6ed3b1ea5d76e2207dfd\"<\/a>\nIt\u2019s a very cool puzzle action game with a concept that works very well. You have to optimize your shots and be patient to kill all the monsters in the room.\n\u00a0<\/p>","time":"May 19th, 2013 1:02 pm","title":"Up for rating a few more games ?","title_was_empty":false}
