| May 2 18:18:25 | Grillmeister | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, it reminded me a bit of an old diner/restaurant cooking game that I can never recall the name of but enjoyed. The controls work fine, but I struggled to figure out exactly what I wanted to do, and I never did see the tutorial video you mentioned. At the start I kept tossing my burgers in the garbage because the holes looked like plates to me at first. The one thing I'd suggest if you continue working on this is a more granular meter for doneness, perhaps three levels of green to indicate perfect doneness. | |
| May 2 19:16:11 | 57m 46s | Global Disaster | ♥ 0 | That was really fun! It got so hectic and crazy around the 40k point mark that I was struggling just to keep track of it all. Great take on the theme and a lot of fun to play. |
| May 16 04:35:00 | 321h 18m | 5-Minute Civilization | ♥ 1 | Amazingly fun! I had a blast with this, and it looked and played so very smoothly that I just fell comfortably into the controls and interface. |
| May 16 04:42:57 | 7m 57s | Sky Roads | ♥ 1 | After figuring out the controls (not because they were hard, but because I was looking at it wrong lol), I got to like the gameplay. At first it felt a little arbitrary but after re-reading your post here I got a grasp on the mechanics and it stared making sense. I really liked the graphics, in particular. They were really charming! |
| May 16 04:55:39 | 12m 42s | Stunt Pilot | ♥ 0 | The implementation of flying out a small world was really cool, and it played great. I did, however, find myself instinctively pressing down the go up and up to go down, flight sim-style, and crashing a bunch, but the actual controls you chose probably make more sense in this scenario. Nice work! |
| May 16 05:11:50 | 16m 11s | God of Man | ♥ 0 | Nicely done. After nurturing humanity for we over a hundred generations, I made every attempt to wipe them off of the map - but those little buggers are persistent! lol |
| May 16 05:17:23 | 5m 33s | DUCKTRON | ♥ 1 | Fun and simple arcade-style game. Those ducks were brutal! What were the little green cubes littered around, though? I couldn't seem to interact with them at all. |
| May 16 05:26:39 | 9m 16s | Little Mouse Planet | ♥ 2 | That was fun, and the cat showing up the first time was a jump-in-my-seat moment. I slept for the first time, woke up and went to fill a watering can and suddenly **GIANT KILLER HOT PINK CAT OF DEATH!** I ended up nearly starving to death, though, because stuff was growing so slowly for me, but instead I chose the hero's death and charged headlong at **GIANT KILLER HOT PINK CAT OF DEATH**. That ended just as one would expect. 😆 |
| May 16 05:32:55 | 6m 16s | Attack on Smolwurld | ♥ 2 | I liked the music, the art style worked, and the controls were solid, but my favorite part were the particle effects when you blew up a ship. If they just disappeared or faded away, it would have been missing something. Them shattering and falling to the ground was a really nice touch. |
| May 16 05:40:07 | 7m 12s | A small world | ♥ 2 | I liked the L and D islands for Ludum Dare, and the narrative was ok, but I usually kind of like more gameplay in my games. It actually - in a weird way - reminded me of the FMV games from the 90s, where you basically just pressed a key at a particular time to make the game continue. |
| May 16 05:46:25 | 6m 18s | Globe Guzzler | ♥ 0 | *I am become Globe Guzzler, the devourer of worlds.* It played well, looked good, had good sound effects and music, and was pretty fun. I had a little bit of trouble seeing when I was being shot at, but that's not that big a deal. |
| May 16 05:50:49 | 4m 24s | Small World Simulator | ♥ 1 | I like the concept and it runs really well. I'd be interested in seeing what kind of game play could be matched up with this design, if you continued to work on it. |
| May 16 06:13:33 | 22m 44s | Planetary Defense System Omega | ♥ 0 | I'm not familiar with the clicker genre of games (despite having seen many of them) so it took me some time to get a feel for how it worked, but once I did the system and mechanics worked well together. The clicking sometimes felt a little bit imprecise when trying to select individual turrets instead of the planet, but that might have been just me. Visually, I loved the shadow from the planet and moon. It was such a subtle touch, but it looked very sharp. The audio cues were a good, but perhaps a little louder than I expected. |
| May 16 06:26:27 | 12m 54s | This Is Not Enough Planet! | ♥ 1 | This was fun! It took me three lives to figure out the rhythm, but once I did it played really well. The movement hit that sweet spot between too slippery and too stiff, and the balance was really solid. I did great - growing rapidly, defending my little creatures, harvesting asteroids - when we got attacked, and my planet did not survive. Definitely worth playing through again multiple times, though, looking for that high score. |
| May 16 06:39:11 | 12m 44s | Chroma | ♥ 3 | I loved the music! The action was really solid, and the liked the glowing light effects, but that music was rocking. Aiming, exploiting line-of-sight, and dodging all worked really well. |
| May 16 06:55:50 | 16m 39s | Chordata! - The Planet Exploring Game | ♥ 1 | I liked exploring the terrain, and the ship model was really good. I see a good bit of potential here, so I'd suggest continuing to work on it. |
| May 16 07:40:31 | 44m 41s | Quest Island | ♥ 1 | I really liked this! I would like to be able to play in a window, and also save my progress to come back to, but overall this was really fun, nostalgic and rock-solid to play. |
| May 16 08:17:15 | 36m 44s | Super Collapse Guy | ♥ 2 | This is amazing! I thought I loved the camera shift/collapse mechanic, but then I discovered that it changed based on my look direction, and my mind was blown. The controls, sounds, graphics, everything are awesome. I love this game! |
| May 16 13:42:26 | 5h 25m | Bunny On A Plane | ♥ 1 | That was a lot of fun, and the controls were super easy to use. I loved the visuals (doing tricks in the plane is always fun) but for me, the song is the show stealer. It's fun, catchy, and reminds me favorably of the songs Kap'n would sing in Animal Crossing. |
