Apr 20 03:47:00 The Teabaggers o/
Apr 20 16:31:00 12h 44m Alexis' Mission 10/10 would unscrew again
Apr 20 18:25:00 1h 54m Risk of Color Nice job! Congrats on finishing your first game btw :) <br/> <br/>I would improve a bit on the controllers, it's a bit troublesome to have to cycle through the colors. You could assign a key to each color (QWE would work) so it's easier to switch on the go. <br/> <br/>Jumping is a bit weird, I need to have momentum in order to go up the platform. If I try to jump and then move I won't be able to reach it, instead I have to be moving when I jump. <br/> <br/>Try to keep polishing after LD so it gets better! :)
Apr 20 18:31:00 6m 00s TypeFighter Nice! At first I thought it was just like "Typing of the dead" or those kinds of games. But the word being gone forever after you use it really sets it apart. <br/> <br/>Great work! :D <br/> <br/>PS: this game is hard
Apr 20 18:42:00 11m 00s Roll Initiative Woah. This game just FEELS great. Pretty nice job! Graphics and music is excellent, the overall style is pretty good and consistent. <br/> <br/>Really really polished :) had lots of fun!
Apr 20 18:57:00 15m 00s Bacannon This was amazing. <br/> <br/>It was really simple game and I had way too much fun with it anyways. Great job :)
Apr 20 19:08:00 11m 00s AN UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON This was pretty well done :) <br/> <br/>I did get that words being harmful was the message behind it, but the bullying part I'm not so sure. <br/> <br/>My only complaint is that maybe it could be a littler bigger or allow some kind of resizing? on a 1080p screen it looks kinda small. <br/> <br/>Great job :D
Apr 20 19:20:00 12m 00s Intergalactic Alien Boy Band Conquest The flavor text made it for me haha. it was pretty good, had a good time playing thru it and trying out different combinations :)
Apr 20 19:24:00 4m 00s The Happy One The game works weird for me on windows. Jumping sends people to the moon, including both you and npcs. <br/> <br/>PD as reply to your comment on my game: Thanks! I went for weird and strange, so I guess I did the job well hehe :)
Apr 20 20:07:00 43m 00s Rare Drop Right out of the bat: Great intro screen! <br/> <br/>Overall the game was pretty nice, the ambiance and vibe was good. <br/>Bonus points for Fez skeleton and Mom swords. <br/> <br/>Things I didn't quite like: <br/>- The knockback on all attacks <br/>- Having half of my initial drops have n/a stats makes getting drops not feel rewarding. Swords with no stats aren't legendary! You could try making swords have more than one stat or effect once you're further into the game, that would help set them apart from the ones you get from the beginning. <br/>- Enemies should be more aggressive when they're harder. Even when they have tons of hp, they're still really slow and can be kited to death <br/>- No level indicator <br/>- Picking up swords was a bit difficult <br/>- The game is pretty long and doesn't have pacing so it feels quite tedious <br/>- The +dmg stat &gt; any other stat. After I got my first +dmg sword I didn't use any other sword with a different +stat. I think removing the your own knockback from your attacks would help make aspeed a viable option too, since right now by a attacking faster you just go farther away from the enemy and have to reposition a lot more. <br/>- Takes a while to get to other parts of the map. Make the map shorter or make more monsters appear, since I have to take long walks to get to the next fight sometimes. <br/>- I couldn't get to the end since there were no more monsters :( <br/> <br/>Phew. That was a lot, hope it can help you make the game better :)
Apr 21 02:19:00 6h 12m Flavourish Te quiero &lt;3 no te desmotives
Apr 21 02:41:00 22m 00s Elem3nts Protip on LD: Don't make installers! Some people get discouraged by it and don't play it. I know GameMaker:Studio can export either a single executable or a .zip, check the dropdown box after you type the filename and you'll see the options :) <br/> <br/>On to the game itself! The element system was pretty nice, most TDs towers don't interact that way with one another. <br/> <br/>Considering you spent most of the time on graphics, I can say you did a great job :) looks pretty good. Maybe next time you can team up with a programmer in case you're doing Jam instead of Compo? <br/> <br/>Keep it up! I want to see what you make next. <br/> <br/>PD: Release your font! :D <br/>PD2: Q is indeed a funny letter
Apr 21 20:51:00 18h 10m Billy McMath Solves Problems All my stars are belong to you, this made me laugh way too much
Apr 21 21:00:00 9m 00s Off to the Races Brought a friend and had way too much fun :D <br/> <br/>great job!
Apr 21 21:08:00 8m 00s Pillow Fight! Had lots of fun! <br/> <br/>There was a slight problem in audio though, after you win, the sfx gets stuck and keeps playing even in the menu.
Apr 22 19:50:00 22h 42m Rock Paper Scissors ATTACK! Nicely done! I could 'cheat' thru the first 85~ points by just alternating weapons and shooting as fast as I could at the spawn point. At 111 they just became too much for me tho haha
Apr 24 21:54:00 50h 04m Home Alone 4 I found the secret room :3 <br/>Loved the Charlie Brown-esque vibe! Enjoyed the game, was a pretty nice experience :) <br/> <br/>Good job!
May 4 04:32:00 222h 38m Ay Pinatas! My only complaint is that all piƱatas should have dropped candy :c (thematically). <br/>Otherwise it was a pretty great game! I would have liked for there to be sound, would have been pretty nice :) <br/>Good job!
