May 4 01:26:09 Small World Resort Manager ♥ 2 Really loved the sound effects, I always want to record little voices like that but always end up throwing some bfxr sounds in at the last second to save time. The only constructive feedback I would have is that it maybe takes a little longer than is ideal to get up and running. It was really fun to play and watch everything happen once I got going, but it took me a little long than I would have wanted to get up and running. Really enjoyed it! Didn't have any issues with research btw, and played in chrome.
May 8 01:17:20 95h 51m Jumpy Green ♥ 1 It took me a little while to understand what was going on, but once I figured it out it was pretty fun. I think my problem might have been my screen size, since I wasn't really able to see what was happening on the bottom side of the planet. Anyway, this is a great idea, and I really like the art.
May 8 01:21:59 4m 39s Rock Hammer ♥ 4 Really great concept, I'm a huge fan of one button games! I feel like the design elegant, and the game just needs some more polish. If this is your first game as you say in the description, you should be really proud!
May 8 01:26:46 4m 47s Party in Buntingville ♥ 0 This is really awesome! I didn't read any of your description before playing, and everything was totally intuitive anyway. I really love the idea, execution, and the look and sound mesh really well with the theme and mechanics. Great work!
May 8 01:32:33 5m 47s Seagazer ♥ 2 I really like the concept and feel, although it seems like it might not be completely finished (which is totally forgivable for a 48h jam). It was really pleasant to walk around and take in the sights and sounds, though. I will say that the sound mixing could probably use some balancing, I jumped the first time I heard the solve sound haha! Hope that doesn't sound too negative, I actually really like what you've got here. Great work!
May 13 03:29:39 121h 57m Devoured Intellect ♥ 0 I really like the idea and the way the sound, art, and writing mesh together well. The only complaint is that I wish I didn't have to click the little triangle to advance, maybe just click anywhere on the screen when there aren't buttons?
May 13 20:45:15 17h 15m Small World God ♥ 1 Looks like the WebGL Link is no good?
May 13 20:52:54 7m 39s Tiny Planet ♥ 1 It has some rough edges, but I like a lot about it. It's like an adventure game without the banging my head in to the wall for hours. Btw, I wasn't able to finish, as I couldn't figure out how to get out of the hole on the left side of the planet. I climbed the ladder, but it wouldn't let me walk either direction without falling back in.
May 13 20:59:25 6m 31s The Burrow ♥ 0 Wow, this is really good. Its really nice to just watch the pretty things and hear the pretty sounds, and occasionally have something surprising happen.
May 14 00:26:08 3h 26m Insect Attack ♥ 2 I had a lot of issues with right clicking to fire (my browser kept trying to scroll and bring up pop up menus. I'm sure this wouldn't have been an issue on the downloaded version, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I actually like a lot of the sprite work and the direction you were headed, but it's fairly obvious that you just ran out of time, which is understandable. Maybe some thing to think about if you go forward (aside from bug fixing) would be a little more variance in enemies? Maybe some different movement patterns, etc., instead of just more hit points?
May 14 00:43:42 17m 34s The Core ♥ 1 Really cool idea, and a lot of polish and content here! I really like the level select screen, and the core gameplay loop. One thing that took a while to get used to was the mouse cursor being invisible. Wish it was visible at all times when a tile wasn't selected.
May 14 00:54:36 10m 54s Heroes of Old Lennieh ♥ 0 Really like the artwork! The idea is really solid too, although my lack of a mouse at the moment probably made it a little more difficult than it had to be.
May 14 00:59:25 4m 49s Bureaucratic Deity Simulator 2018 ♥ 2 What a cool idea! I really hope you guys find a way to expand on this mechanic in the future. I was also really impressed with the level of tutorialization, I did basically no reading going in to this one and just about everything was intuitive. Great work!
May 14 01:05:01 5m 36s Communitas ♥ 1 Really like the idea of a collabrotive city builder, and it seems especially ambitious to build one in a game jam. I didn't have any network issues or bugs, but it also seemed like I might have been the only one playing. The graphics are fine, and the gameplay is really intuitive. Good work!
May 14 03:34:18 2h 29m Small World Simulator ♥ 1 This is awesome. I watched it intently for several minutes, and even though I don't fully understand what's happening it's beautiful to look at.
May 14 16:56:45 13h 22m Tribal Tension (Twitch) ♥ 0 This is really amazing. I'm glad you guys are continuing to work on it, as this has some real potential.
May 14 17:03:40 6m 55s A small world ♥ 1 Really like the sound and pacing. Wish it was longer, but you really nailed the mood.
May 14 17:11:40 8m 00s Intergalactic Lemonade Inc. ♥ 2 This is really good. I had a similar idea a few LDs ago (can't remember which) but had to abandon it because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish. I'm always really in to games about the parts that the other games skip, like logistics and assembly lines etc. The sound in this makes it really relaxing, and I like that the physics of the ship and the solar system sort of work together to create interesting decision points. Great job!
May 14 17:18:10 6m 30s Sky Roads ♥ 1 I really love the polish, art and sounds. The tile sliding effect at the beginning of the levels is particularly good. I also like the idea of the game, but even after reading the instructions, it's difficult to tell what's causing income and expenses. In most cases, it seemed like I was better off making a road to nowhere anytime I was profitable rather than finishing a level. That seems relatively simple to fix, and other than that I think this is a really promising puzzle game. Great work!
