| Apr 28 15:32:35 | littleBLASTplanet | ♥ 2 | I like the graphics, only using 2 colors really makes the enemies stand out as well. My only suggestion is to either give the player warning when an enemy is about to drop on their head or only spawn them a certain distance from the player. It was frustrating getting far only to be smashed by a 'thwomp' that randomly dropped on my head. Great game! | |
| Apr 28 15:45:28 | 12m 53s | Starstruck Ducky | ♥ 2 | Very nice game! I think I just got really lucky, no one ever said no to me. Only suggestion would be to make the speech speed to the end if you click while they are talking. I skipped the intro on accident because of this. I really enjoyed the game though! Good Job! |
| Apr 28 16:00:11 | 14m 43s | A Social Network | ♥ 0 | Nice concept you had here! I originally had planned on having a social gameplay mechanic in my entry as well, but had to toss it because of time :( I felt like the beacons didn't stay long enough, navigating around the more complex levels was a bit tedious. Cool game though, and I liked the low res graphics a lot. |
| Apr 28 19:39:58 | 3h 39m | Johi Farm | ♥ 2 | Whoa a boss fight?! Nicely done! The difficulty seemed pretty balanced, I had no difficulty figuring out how damage the boss. I don't have any real criticism, just needed a bit more polish, like tightening up the controls a bit and the graphics seemed a little inconsistent. Other than that this is a really solid game! I had a lot of fun playing. Sweet ending animation btw! :) |
| Apr 28 21:24:39 | 1h 44m | Arrows in Orbit | ♥ 1 | Liked this mechanic a lot! Could be fleshed out and tweaked into something really cool. Camera felt weird, maybe change it to more of a top-down angle? Could also have used more variety in enemies. For a first time jam though, this was fantastic! Keep at it :D |
| Apr 28 21:35:30 | 10m 51s | Yours | ♥ 1 | A really cool simulation. Had fun watching my little people destroy all my forests and build houses/boats. Camera was a little wonky around the north pole, and would have been nice to have more to do, but I enjoyed this! |
| Apr 28 21:55:00 | 19m 30s | World Destroyer | ♥ 1 | This was pretty good! You definitely need to tweak some of the physics stuff, not being able to move after jumping and seemingly random bomb rolling was a little frustrating. Other than that though, this was a fun game! |
| Apr 28 22:14:06 | 19m 06s | Seagazer | ♥ 1 | This was a cool experience. I like my puzzle games to be a little more on the 'vague' side, and this definitely was. I wasn't even sure there was any gameplay at first (which if there wasn't it still would have been a cool star-gazing game). Great entry! |
| Apr 29 01:32:14 | 3h 18m | Amoebros | ♥ 2 | Ahh this is really cool! The complexity is definitely overwhelming at first, but once I figured out exactly what I was doing it was a lot of fun! It did crash on me both times I played it though so I couldn't beat it :( |
| Apr 29 01:49:42 | 17m 28s | Globe Trot | ♥ 4 | This game looks awesome, graphics are very well done. Gameplay is fun too, as others have said the camera is disorienting. The camera seems to be based on your velocity, which works great unless you want to slow down and reverse direction or something. The camera then kinda instantly flips. Other than that this is a great entry! |
| Apr 29 02:00:38 | 10m 56s | Cat Ed | ♥ 1 | "Aaaa..." Death animation was hilarious :) Nice simple graphics, solid gameplay. My suggestion would be to take away the ability to move left and right and only let the player jump as the planets moved by. Also not being able to restart with the keyboard kinda deterred me from playing too many times. Had fun though, good game! |
| Apr 29 02:28:38 | 28m 00s | Space Travel 15 | ♥ 1 | Cool take on the theme. I think instead of selecting an airport then hitting go, you could have just had the airport button be the "go" button. Had fun though, nice entry! |
| Apr 29 03:28:32 | 59m 54s | REDBOW | ♥ 2 | Very solid entry! Was maybe a bit too easy, I got to level 7 or so with no problems. Finding the exit after killing all the monsters was tedious when I couldn't find it. Controls were good. Spin animation looked cool. Overall I had fun! Good job. |
| Apr 30 18:17:55 | 38h 49m | Daydreaming Island | ♥ 1 | I liked the art and music in this game, gave me an Undertale vibe. As everyone else has said, controls are a little wonky, took me a second to realize that right clicking only depended on where my character was and my mouse position didn't matter at all. The puzzles were cool until I got stumped/frustrated, turned on the lighthouse then looked through the telescope but couldn't figure out how to use that information. Really cool game though, loved the mood. |
| May 1 05:34:13 | 11h 16m | Terra Rise | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this game quite a bit. It definitely started out slow, but once the powerups start coming it gets pretty fun. Could use some tweaks, like planets spawning particles or something when killed and the planets would get stuck to each other and not move towards me sometimes. Overall a solid entry, well done! |
| May 1 19:07:35 | 13h 33m | Routine | ♥ 1 | Art style is great and really works for this game. I couldn't figure out the last mission unfortunately, and having to wait until they had days off to switch their workplace was a bit tedious. Really great take on the theme, probably one of my favorites so far. Nice work! |
| May 1 20:24:52 | 1h 17m | World Tetris | ♥ 1 | This was a cool concept! Took me a second to figure out that you had to do a complete ring around the planet. Having 4 surfaces to cover definitely changed the game quite a bit. Graphics were solid for the game. Sounds & Music would have been nice. Nice work! |
| May 1 20:56:14 | 31m 22s | Little Lands | ♥ 1 | This is gorgeous, love the isometric graphics. Once I figured out what everything did this was really fun. Nice game! |
| May 4 03:05:33 | 54h 09m | Alienus-Alienas | ♥ 1 | Not a bad game, very difficult. Definitely could have used some more variety and control tweaks. But overall pretty good! I had fun. |
| May 4 03:24:02 | 18m 29s | Karma is a Bitch | ♥ 1 | Definitely have to fix that collision problem where platforms kill you when they shouldn't. Other than that not a bad entry! Love the fact that the axe can come around and kill you, really makes you think before you throw it. Good job! |
| May 4 03:55:27 | 31m 25s | Beware The Idiots | ♥ 1 | Funny title screen! Gameplay is simple and works. I found there were too many 'fast' sperm for the walls to be effective at all so I just didn't use them. Also think you were a bit too generous with the area around the sperm that would count as a 'click'. Had fun though! |
| May 4 04:28:56 | 33m 29s | Conquer Earth | ♥ 1 | So, wow. There is some depth here. It is a little intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it is pretty impressive. Could have used an in game tutorial for sure but I understand having to cut that. Really impressive entry! |
| May 4 14:53:08 | 10h 24m | StopWatch | ♥ 1 | Art is great, Music was fantastic (loved that it transitioned in and out of the enemy turns), Gameplay was simple and solid! Enemy turns did feel random, sometimes they would go straight for me, sometimes they would just kinda meander. So it felt like I won/lost due to luck a lot of the time. Had a lot of fun with this one, great job! |
| May 4 21:14:05 | 6h 20m | SORLD | ♥ 1 | I accidentally put my houses on the other player's color and couldn't pick them back up! Oops :P Would be a really cool game if you could get multiplayer going! |
| May 4 21:29:40 | 15m 35s | Little Eco Planet | ♥ 1 | Not only is this a solid puzzle game, but you have an actual tutorial! Very well done! Graphics could use some improvement, controls could be a little better but I really enjoyed this game! Took me a while to solve the last puzzle ^_^ |
| May 4 21:38:23 | 8m 43s | Planet Desumaton | ♥ 2 | Gorgeous graphics! That boss has so much health though! :) Finally beat it, but that was tough. Enjoyed this entry good job! |
| May 4 21:49:53 | 11m 30s | A Small World Cup | ♥ 2 | The funniest and funnest game I've played so far. Give me a multiplayer version of this and I'd play it forever. Fantastic entry! Congrats! |
| May 6 03:15:10 | 29h 25m | Smalltrek | ♥ 1 | The amount of content and polish here is very impressive! Music, graphics, gameplay all solid. An undo button would have been nice on some levels. And it did get a little repetitive, I stopped at episode 18. I could for sure see this as a fully-realized game, you should definitely do more to this post-jam. One of the best I've played so far. Great work! |
| May 6 03:21:57 | 6m 47s | Scaleshifter | ♥ 1 | Cool concept! Balancing collecting dna and getting food was pretty difficult, but not too difficult. I agree with what others have said, the photo realistic background definitely clashed with the pixel art. Overall, good job! |
| May 6 03:33:00 | 11m 03s | A Small World . . . or is it? | ♥ 2 | Liked your shark model, and felt like your idea had potential. But you needed more actual gameplay, even just a time limit would have helped, or if you could only eat boxes that were smaller than you, something to make it a challenge. Did you make the shark animation match up with the music on purpose? If so that's awesome :) |
| May 6 19:07:33 | 15h 34m | Song of Fungus | ♥ 1 | Great graphics, music, and gameplay. A really simple yet engaging mechanic. The difficulty ramps up at a good rate and you do a good job of introducing the player to new mechanics. I did get stuck at the Scarlet Mother level, but really enjoyed everything up until then. Good job! |
| May 6 19:23:00 | 15m 27s | Dwelling | ♥ 1 | This is adorable, and kind of sad. Like some of the others have mentioned, I was confused at first and didn't realize that once I ran out of life I would spawn a new dog. Once I figured that out though I didn't have any issues. Really interesting mood on this entry, nice work! |
