Dec 15 05:54:00		Feed The Hole	Wow, this is actually quite satisfying to play! I love watching the physics at work here. <br/> <br/>I think I found a small bug, where if I'm absorbing, then release the button and immediately hold it down again, suction power stops working while I continue holding it. <br/>A cryptic representation of what the button-holding pattern looks like: <br/>____________/\_______________ <br/> <br/> <br/>But overall it feels pretty solid, and it's great fun! Nice job!
Dec 15 06:28:00	34m 00s	Bud the Gardener	I was fumbling with the controls for a few minutes but eventually got the hang of it. I also did something weird with the two button controls, so I can't complain. Just takes some practice and getting-used-to! :P <br/> <br/>Anyway, I think I kind of screwed myself over by planting grass on all the tiles I had, and it seems the spade can't dig those up, so I was unable to acquire more dirt to expand, if that's how it works? WHOOPS! <br/> <br/>But you've got a lot of cool mechanics going on here, especially for a first LD--and a compo entry, at that! Nice job!
Dec 15 07:43:00	1h 15m	Bridge Balance	I got far enough to see the screen move a little bit (899)! Really cool mechanic. The logs kinda make me hungry for chocolate. Like a bunch of Kit-Kats, all wedged up against each other... that chocolately coat over crispy layered wafers, and nomnomnomnom <br/> <br/>The gameplay is simple and easy to understand, yet is unique. Nice job using the themes too!
Dec 15 08:04:00	21m 00s	Binary Button Battle Blobs	I sure do miss the pet-raising games, and this sure helped to fill that hole. Poop, food, battles, poop, growth, old age, poop... Good stuff! The big blob battles get pretty insane too! The blobs are pretty cute, and nice alliteration in the title, haha. Nice job. :)
Dec 15 08:38:00	34m 00s	Croc Climber	I tried to bring a bag of fertilizer to the menu screen, but alas... no holy grail for me! <br/> <br/>And those moments when I think, "Oh, I'll just carry this fertilizer with me up the beanstalk." Go ahead and laugh at me... LOL. <br/> <br/>I think I had a bug a couple of times (Windows) while I was climbing down the first beanstalk on the left (or second beanstalk in the stage), and I got teleported straight down somehow and landed in the spikes. Not sure exactly what it is. Maybe I'm slightly clipping the corner when it happens too? <br/> <br/>Overall very polished! Well done, clever and challenging too!
Dec 15 08:53:00	15m 00s	Meowtastic Present Panic	Too cute! I did 14 presents. On my first try though, I sat on every green arrow and delivered a total of 6, haha. The juicy animation, sounds are satisfying, and gameplay is super smooth and responsive. Everything fits together so nicely. Awesome job!
Dec 15 23:52:00	14h 59m	CMDR LR	Love the super clean style. The music also makes me feel alone in space--awesome job! I went through all the levels. <br/> <br/>I have no idea how VascoF does it so well. I suspect they're a robot that does everything optimally with perfect precision. Insane! :P <br/> <br/>I really have nothing to complain about. It takes some practice, but what doesn't? The controls feel pretty solid, and the levels are all challenging in their own ways. Really well done!
Dec 16 00:41:00	49m 00s	WONKS	You focused on the audio, and you did a superb job with it! The atmosphere is quite relaxing (once you get out of the WONKS dream sequence thing--terrifying! :P), and the sound effects are all delicious candy to my ears. <br/> <br/>I like to click things a lot because those clicky clackers just sound so addicting. Unfortunately, I end up queuing up a bunch of lines of dialog, and I can't activate the bed until they all go away... Keeping myself by awake talking to myself, haha! <br/> <br/>I also found a bug where I put more than just 5 seeds in the seedalyzer in a day, and then press the button to multiples at once. It runs through the dialog for 5 of them, but after that, I get stuck because the door is locked, and trying the bed only says that I'm "almost done." <br/> <br/>I also like the art style. Nice details with the ripples in the water too. Please do finish this game. I really wanna try the farming. Really well done so far!
Dec 16 01:18:00	37m 00s	The Legend of Da'addad	Really interesting combat system! The way the moves are randomized helps to add replayability. First time, I squeezed by with .5 seconds left or something, and the second time, I had 6.x seconds. Probably both Easy mode, I think. <br/> <br/>For a while, I thought I was the blue guy, only because I'm so used to being on the left side from all my gaming as Player 1, haha. <br/> <br/>Dat music is pretty kickass doe. And it's quite entertaining to read the combat messages to find out you did something pretty bad, or stupid even, LOL! Nice job!
Dec 16 01:58:00	40m 00s	Space Cactus	Yaaaay! I am amazement! Now I see why it's called "Space Cactus," haha. It looks so happy out there. Art is cute, and space is awesome. <br/> <br/>It got a little difficult to read the text around the mid-high 20s with the black text on top of the dark backgrounds, but at least reading that isn't necessary to win. :P <br/> <br/>The higher levels are certainly more difficult, with higher growth point requirements and only a few points per pass with the sun. Had me wondering if a way to score a CRITICAL SUNBEAM could be devised for the user doing something special right on the center. But I dunno, I can't really think of a way to wedge that in with the current mechanics either. <br/> <br/>Really cool how the background changes as you progress, and the cactus gets happier. Well done on your first LD, and congratulations too! Be sure to enter again for LD 35!
Dec 16 02:10:00	12m 00s	Don't Be FAT	Nice idea flipping around the "catch the falling object" kind of game. Also the way that being larger makes it harder to not eat food is a clever parallel with the real world. <br/> <br/>The torrents of food were quite amazing to watch. I just have to stand there in awe, mouth gaping open... and soon, it's all over, haha. <br/> <br/>Well done on your first LD! Now, probably the hardest part--keep going! :)
Dec 16 02:30:00	20m 00s	neon fall	I got to 8 points. So close! <br/> <br/>The graphics are simple but slick and effective, and the sound effects yummy. :) <br/> <br/>A couple of times I had a red one hit me from above the screen, I think. Didn't even see it coming! <br/> <br/>Really satisfying and fun game. Nicely done!
Dec 16 02:58:00	28m 00s	Sticky Stuff	Amazing mood, somehow even if it's just a game just about a spinning circle and things sticking to it. Also really fun to spin fast. Super well done!
Dec 16 21:37:00	18h 39m	The Star War	Hmm, I don't know, the art and music could be of higher qualit- JUST KIDDING <br/>Everything's exactly how it's supposed to be. <br/>Funny game. Noice jerb. :)
Dec 16 22:19:00	42m 00s	Grow Pandora	It's neat how, unlike a typical tower defense game, the placeable units don't attack by themselves, but instead you spawn attackers from them which don't just sit in one spot. <br/> <br/>I did feel like the mages died too quick for them to be worth the cost. I seemed to do quite well with hordes of archers though, but I also never got past wave 12-15 or so because the game kept freezing up. I looked at my task manager and it was using like nearly 1GB of memory when it happened. Memory leak? (Windows 10) <br/> <br/>I was really trying to see what the Vargos and Thull things were like, but alas. <br/> <br/>I think I would also appreciate a counter of your units that are still alive. It's really hard to tell who's dying when they're all clumped up in one spot attacking a single enemy. <br/> <br/>Overall pretty nice. I just wish I could have experienced the whole thing!
