Apr 25 00:00:01 AETHER CRYSTAL ♥ 0 I get a 404 error when I click the Site link.
Apr 25 12:40:56 12h 40m Damn it, Don't Die! ♥ 3 I really like the style, setup, and concept! Right now (for me) the game is a little confusing. (I don't want to sound snooty, so forgive me if any of this comes off like that, ha ha.) It might make sense to start the player with one hamster and one thing to stop them from, so the player gets an idea of what to do before throwing three hamsters at them. It's the concept talked about in Chapter V of this little book: https://secrettunneltimes.com/2017/04/17/how-to-make-games/ Right now it throws you in and some hamster dies super quick and you can't even see where one of them runs off to and it's a little frustrating. I managed to get one of the hamsters interested in food from the fridge (had to read that in the description rather than discover it via gameplay) but the other two run to the stereo and floor lamp. I can manage to stop the floor lamp one by clicking the lamp madly (I think?) but the stereo one always always dies no matter what I do. Also I can't really see what happens to that hamster because the wall blocks the view after he dies. I wasn't sure if there was a way to rotate the camera. (Maybe the walls could be shorter or partially see-through in places?) [Continued in next comment, ran out of room!]
Apr 25 14:19:48 1h 38m Frag Saga ♥ 0 Fantastic! My favorite of the Jam that I've tried out so far. Great job, I hope you continue it and maybe add controller support. :D
Apr 25 14:41:11 21m 23s Slice of Life ♥ 2 Definitely made me want some pizza! I wondered if there was a way to regain power/life, though. Didn't seem like it, so I died every time, lol.
Apr 25 14:49:42 8m 31s Murder Mitosis ♥ 3 It says don't forget to eat, but I have no idea HOW to eat or WHAT to eat. Heck, I didn't know how to even move around until I started mashing keys on the keyboard, lol. Maybe I'm slow...? Anyway, it was super fun other than the fact that I lost every time because I starved to death! Nicely crafted. :)
Apr 25 18:32:22 3h 42m Pollux ♥ 3 Cool concept! I like it a lot, and it made me want to keep trying to unlock other stuff. Only thing I'd say is the controls feel a bit off, but I'm sure with some tweaking that might be fixed. Anyways, good work! Congrats on completing it, too. :)
Apr 25 19:10:50 38m 28s Slightly Angry Max ♥ 2 Nice job overall! I think the opening crawl could move a little faster if you're working on an updated version for future. Just the end bit, specifically. The rest flowed nicely. Anyways, game was a lot of fun and could really be polished up into something amazing! Hope you end up keeping at it and taking it to that next step. :)
May 3 15:32:00 188h 21m Tiny Planet, Big Universe ♥ 2 Nice job. Obviously it could use more depth, but for a Jam game it's solid and not buggy, which is a huge plus. If you took it further, it would be nice if the planet/ship you control had a little more life to it. The asteroids rotate and feel more alive than your actual character! :) Good luck with future jams, nice work.
May 3 15:38:02 6m 02s Star-Crossed ♥ 1 This was a fun game, though I definitely agree with the folks above that the difficulty curve is HUGE. I would love to play a version that ramps up in difficulty. Right now it's too painful to stick with, ha ha. The second planet should be reachable with easy so you feel accomplished, then get tougher and tougher the more you play. Anyway, good job overall regardless, and a very solid LD game! :)
May 3 15:45:43 7m 41s Conquery - Conquer The World! ♥ 1 I really had fun playing this. Obviously it would be great to have more depth but hey, this is a LD 3-day attempt! For that it's a great start. If you were to keep going it would be great to have a countdown for how many planets were left to capture, and also a way to fight back against the enemies (or at least avoid the fire, there isn't much room for evasive maneuvers, ha ha). Anyway, great job overall!
May 5 18:46:12 51h 00m For Eternity ♥ 1 I didn't actually know what I was doing, and I played the Web version which broke a little ways in, but it all seems very well done for three days of production! Congrats! As someone said above, a tutorial at first would be great. I just built things but didn't know what anything did or what would increase my money or anything.
May 5 18:57:26 11m 14s Set Sails ♥ 0 I don't think I knew what I was doing, ha ha. I kept placing things but wasn't sure if it was working or not. Eventually I didn't have enough gold to pay rent. A tutorial of some kind would be nice to have, but overall you did a fantastic job. Well done!
