Apr 18 02:38:00 Buck Shift Hehe this is great! It's fun once you realize that picking up the blue dots upgrades your weapon. I was surprised that there was 3 separate music tracks. <br/> <br/>I think the game would be much improved by scaling everything up. There's a lot of black space on the screen that isn't really useful. It would also help appreciate the cute pixel animations more. <br/> <br/>I was also missing some sort of hit / impact effect when your bullets hit an enemy, or when an enemy dies. <br/> <br/>Lastly, I wish there was more dialogue that I could read in a scottish accent!
Apr 18 02:49:00 11m 00s The Void Walker Oooh smooth framerate and animations! The pacing of this game is really good. New challenges get introduced at the right time and I never got bored. <br/> <br/>Falling into the gap gets a little frustrating though. Most of the time you can't see that the gap is beneath you. It's a good thing falling doesn't take away your health. <br/> <br/>I like all the shades of blue you used. Blue is great.
Apr 18 03:59:00 1h 10m The Canis Incident Lol that was a lot more fun than I was expecting! The machinegun is awesome. The white flash and sound effect when you hit an enemy is both efficient and satisfying. Good variety of enemies and the way they swarm you makes the game pretty fun! <br/> <br/>The hit detection on the bullets seem a bit inconsistent though. If there was some small effect to let me know that the bullet was hitting a wall I think the game would be even better.
Apr 18 04:32:00 33m 00s Under and Above Fun to play! Cool concept and I like the design of the creatures. I also like the mouse-only controls, it makes moving and shooting very convenient. <br/> <br/>Exploring the strengths and weaknesses of each form was fun! I only wish that when you defeat enemies you can eat them for energy or something. Right now they just disappear, along with all the energy you spent attacking them.
Apr 18 04:45:00 13m 00s Operation SHIFT Most fun I've had yet! I loved the screenshake, and amazing attention to detail like how the flowers sway in the wind and bushes explode into leaves. This game is awesome. <br/> <br/>I played till I beat the final boss. I think I enjoyed playing this more than Hyper Light Drifter.
Apr 18 04:52:00 7m 00s Tito's Revenge Awesome! Best graphics yet and feels great to play! The particle effects and vector art style are excellent. Shooting felt good too. <br/> <br/>I think it would be improved by making it more obvious when you get hurt, like a flash or shake, and it needs more enemy variety. Other than that, great game!
Apr 18 05:02:00 10m 00s Grokh's Arena Fun little arena figther/shooter! I like the variety and combinations of enemies - it keeps the game interesting. Great music too! <br/> <br/>I think the game would be improved if it were more obvious when you get hurt or when you land a hit on an enemy.
Apr 18 06:02:00 1h 00m Attack of the RGBobots Man, you nailed the retro aesthetic! The visuals, sound, and theme match perfectly. Simple and easy to understand with great execution.
Apr 18 06:06:00 4m 00s Angry Squid Ha, rage-rolling was awesome! Not sure if there is a way to destroy the helicopters, but I wish there was. Could also use a hit animation to let you know when you get hit.
Apr 18 10:23:00 4h 17m Hide and Squeak Haha this is great! Just walking around is amusing because of the bouncy animation. The gameplay is pretty fun and I somehow managed to get 45 guards on screen before I got seen. And of course the sounds.
Apr 20 03:15:00 40h 52m Sub Dragon Amazing as always! Beautiful graphics and particle effects. Love the variety of bullet patterns. I like how the gameplay balances between careful thought and quick reflexes. My main strategy is to do strafing circles for most enemies, and freeze my shape for the tough entrenched enemies. Love the easter egg at the end also :p
Apr 20 06:27:00 3h 12m Operation R.E.P.T.I.L.E. I stared at the title screen longer than I should have... <br/> <br/>Gameplay itself is fun and easy to understand, but still challenging to find all the reptiles. Animations are clean and stylish. I just wish there were sounds when you hit a reptile with your gun.
Apr 20 06:33:00 6m 00s The Black Crystal Excellent use of the 1-bit artstyle! My favorite thing about this game is how the enemies break apart when they die. So satisfying! <br/> <br/>I just wish the shapeshift ability had more balanced trade-offs. Right now there's no reason not to become a cube when you see an enemy. I think the game would be improved with more enemy variety so that there is some strategy to shapeshifting.
Apr 20 06:36:00 3m 00s CubeShift I like the smooth and minimal style! It's quite hard until you realize you can pass right thru red blocks so long as they are moving. I think the game would be improved if that mechanic were made more obvious.
Apr 20 06:40:00 4m 00s Black Heart Great colors and I like the abstract minimal style! It's fun but I got a bit annoyed that the black trail you leave when you move obscures your path, and makes it harder to see the black hearts. The little black dots also make it harder. <br/> <br/>In general I feel it's better to make things that can damage the player very obvious, so that the player's skill and reflexes are tested.
Apr 20 06:56:00 16m 00s Space Shifter Woah that got intense! Really fun game! By then end I was just wrecking everything so I had to stop. <br/> <br/>Would have loved some brighter explosions and autofiring weapons. The weapons don't drain energy so there's no reason not to be firing all your weapons all the time.
Apr 20 07:07:00 11m 00s windowframe wat. WHAT!? mind = blown. BSSHHH
Apr 20 07:15:00 8m 00s Shoop-da-Poop lol wtf? Love the facial expressions. But now I feel bad about myself for some reason...
Apr 20 07:47:00 32m 00s SHΔPE Beautiful! Very rewarding once you memorize each shape. The smooth way the shape morphs into other shapes combined with the gentle sound effects make this game feel lovely to play.
Apr 20 08:00:00 13m 00s GapeJaw McGraw a TOUR DE FORCE. <br/> <br/>I lol'ed when he started choking. The sound effects are perfect. Delightfully silly concept.
