| May 1 15:28:38 | Belaruse Panic | ♥ 2 | I loved playing the old GTA games back in the day. There is definitely something here.. but it needs something to make it more fun. Presentation is generally nice although a bit cluttered. When I first started I was honestly overwhelmed by all the icons and meters although I did get the hang of it quicker than I thought. There is some humor and personality with the customers but I never felt like I could stop and take it in since there were so many timers to keep track of. I'd personally scrap them in favor of customer tied timers instead. Maybe some customers could prefer speed, maybe others prefer safety. You could go further with the customers too if you decide to keep working on this. The thought of picking up Jason Voorhees and then watching him go on a teenage murder spree once you drop him off seems funny to me :D. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing another old school GTA-style game and I think you have a great base here. | |
| May 1 15:48:52 | 20m 14s | Place Them All | ♥ 3 | This was great! The trial and error approach to try to figure out the rules to how the tribes will interact with each other really works in the games favor. I just wish I didn't have to tilt my head to read the dialogue :P. |
| May 1 16:18:41 | 29m 49s | The world is (a) flat | ♥ 1 | Oh those pandas and their politics :P. Interesting take on the theme! I wish there were some more puzzles, unless I'm missing something (which I might). Are there more endings then one? |
| May 1 16:48:45 | 30m 04s | Planet Desumaton | ♥ 1 | Simple and fun! Art is simple but polished and cute. |
| May 1 17:11:39 | 22m 54s | Stable Orbit | ♥ 0 | Nice and moody. Really like the concept and name of the game! Starts of challenging but once you get it down it's really not that hard. Would be really interested in seeing additional challenges, perhaps involving multiple planets. Definitely see potential here. |
| May 1 17:53:20 | 41m 41s | Cartography | ♥ 1 | Ok, initially I gave up and felt I didn't have the patience for this. But I gave it another shot and made an effort to map it out and I'm glad I did. Mapping things always seems like a chore but it's actually pretty fun and a lot less frustrating than not doing it and just trying to keep it all in your head. Point taken game, point taken :). |
| May 1 18:25:25 | 32m 05s | Yours | ♥ 1 | While there isn't much of an objective, the world shaping is cool and it was.. just really relaxing :). I can see potential here. |
| May 1 19:38:33 | 1h 13m | C_NFINEMENT R__M | ♥ 0 | Interesting game! I had to cheat to get to the end though :P. My letter was on the second to last word _"O"__. |
| May 1 19:50:17 | 11m 44s | Pineshore Planet | ♥ 1 | Really digging the art style and it was overall super charming. One of my favorite entries so far! |
| May 1 20:18:48 | 28m 31s | eiland | ♥ 0 | Looks and sounds great and really sets the mood. I only wished there was a bit more to do. |
| May 1 21:25:38 | 1h 06m | Blomst 🌻 | ♥ 1 | Cute and charming and certainly looks beautiful. Although I personally prefer to have something working against me, I don't think every game needs a challenge as long as there is a goal (which there is). I can see something more fleshed out being pretty interesting. |
| May 1 21:47:52 | 22m 14s | Cat Ed | ♥ 1 | This was way more enjoyable than it had the right to be. I can't explain it, there is just some kind of charm in the art, the ridiculous premise and even the repetitive dopey music that it made me smile :D. |
| May 1 22:06:07 | 18m 15s | NO STEP ON HYOOMINS | ♥ 1 | Haha, great idea. Had some fun not stepping (and stepping) on hyoomins. My best time is 14 seconds, no casualties. |
| May 1 22:28:33 | 22m 26s | A Perfectly Lovely Expedition | ♥ 2 | Nice entry! Had a hard time telling what the items were sometimes but otherwise the art is good and that's an impressive amount of different mechanics worked in there! |
| May 1 23:20:34 | 52m 01s | Game of Worlds | ♥ 3 | At first I thought Cartman had changed his tune to become a nice guy but then I figured he just wanted some kids to be monster bait while he safely got away :P. Really nice art! |
| May 1 23:58:23 | 37m 49s | D4RK and the Small Worlds | ♥ 2 | Man that was super enjoyable but I like a good platforming challenge. Boss fight especially was great! Writing made me laugh too and although some might think the theme is kinda forced, once I got to the end I think this is a complete legit use of the theme. One of my favorite entries definitely! Edit: Forgot to mention the excellent music! |
| May 2 01:22:16 | 1h 23m | Backyard Warriors | ♥ 1 | When the art is cute but then you realize it's a game about kids beating the shit out of each other 😅. Yeah, bots are not really that challenging but that stuff is hard to do. It might make an interesting multiplayer game honestly. Imagine an MMO version of this :P, "backyar.io"! |
| May 2 15:14:34 | 13h 52m | Echoes | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! Echolocation mechanic is cool and it was overall well designed with a nice sense of progression and challenge without getting frustrating. |
| May 2 16:37:53 | 1h 23m | Uncharted Dreams - Fate of the Miniatures | ♥ 3 | Can't say too much about the game since there's not a lot of it. Graphics and animations are neat as usual. It's always nice to make something even with limited time. Have you ever gone over your animation/rotoscoping process anywhere? Would be an interesting read. |
| May 2 17:34:38 | 56m 45s | Spermicorn | ♥ 2 | No groundbraking gameplay but the presentation was really charming. Cute art and great fitting music! |
| May 2 17:48:21 | 13m 43s | Puppy's World | ♥ 2 | Short and sweet! Love the aesthetics and that adorable bark. Puzzle was good and intuitive but you always want more. |
| May 2 18:15:38 | 27m 17s | Hamster, RUN! | ♥ 1 | I think this is a game where an extra lives system could be argued for. That would make it less punishing while still keeping that sense of challenge and urgency you might lose if you could restart each level as many times as you want. Maybe picking up more food would grant you more extra lives too as a risk reward system. Anyway, nice little puzzely game. It's just a bit too punishing. |
| May 2 18:48:01 | 32m 23s | Advanced Mitosis | ♥ 1 | Interesting and some great puzzles, especially when you had to "herd" the other blobs to eat some of the pellets. |
| May 2 19:38:09 | 50m 08s | Antnator | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I honestly wasn't expecting much when I saw the art but it definitely surprised me. There is a lot of content in there and it's fun to play. I like the weapon variety and they all feel satisfying to use. Even the art kinda grew on me even if it has problems with consistency. That player sprite is pretty dope though! :) |
| May 2 19:56:32 | 18m 23s | To Valhalla | ♥ 4 | There is something satisfying in how the boat controls. Really nice graphics and the narration was great! |
| May 2 21:20:05 | 1h 23m | Bubblenaut | ♥ 1 | Woah, beautiful art, it sounds great too. Very polished! Some of it (like the old man) reminds me of Felix Colgrave but that might be because I recently saw Double King. Nothing amazing in terms of gameplay but probably the best entry I've seen in terms of presentation. |
| May 2 21:42:44 | 22m 39s | Cosmic Cleaner | ♥ 4 | Nice entry! Love the nervous look on the planets :D. Good amount of content too, I played around half the levels and had a lot of fun. |
| May 2 22:00:26 | 17m 42s | The Adventure of Malvin | ♥ 1 | Nice platformer! Controls and feels really good to play. Pixelart looks great too! |
| May 4 13:13:37 | 39h 13m | Agoraphobia | ♥ 1 | Nice take on the theme! Graphics were simple but worked. The white field really added to the sense of isolation. I probably played longer than I had to, wasn't sure at first what the end goal was besides growing my house (which became huge) but when I figured it out the end was very fitting and the lack of instructions serves the game well imo. |
| May 4 13:51:33 | 37m 56s | Statera | ♥ 2 | Wow this is a really cool concept and nice take on the theme. Sadly, windows version didn't work for me as the creatures would just stay in one spot and not move. Web version worked but had some issues of its own. Still I can see there is something interesting here. |
| May 4 14:04:04 | 12m 31s | Batter Bros. | ♥ 3 | Nice! Great art and just super polished overall. Good use of the theme too and the curved wall gives this type of game a bit of a different spin. |
| May 4 16:30:25 | 2h 26m | Symbios | ♥ 1 | Simple graphics but the style and amount of polish makes it look and feel really really good. If I have any criticism it would be that after the initial separation period, once you got them in two separate camps there was not much of a challenge left. |
| May 4 17:18:46 | 48m 21s | Until Tomorrow | ♥ 2 | Great entry! Interesting to see a good narrative game. One of my favorites! |
| May 4 17:46:07 | 27m 21s | Headroom | ♥ 1 | Nice visuals and audio. Puzzle was great too, short but satisfying. |
| May 5 12:28:13 | 18h 42m | Johi Farm | ♥ 2 | That was fun! Just enough things to manage to still feel engaged without being overwhelmed. Nice sense of progression too and even a boss fight. |
| May 5 14:03:10 | 1h 34m | Small Planets | ♥ 2 | Amazing! Very impressive. Even though the resource collecting was all the same, the varied visuals great audio and general mood kept me engaged all the way through. It was pretty funny that "picking" flowers was also just kicking them to bits. Little things like removing the need to backtrack helped too. Low poly style looked great. Even some space flight simulation thrown in there, nice! |
| May 14 12:58:33 | 214h 55m | Bedroom Fishing | ♥ 1 | That was fun! The hook mechanic was nice to play around with and the graphics look good. The title screen music made me laugh though, it's almost crazy bus level chaos. Something more relaxing would've probably worked better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sC0cvwnG0Ik |
| May 14 13:33:45 | 35m 12s | Feather Fighter | ♥ 1 | Really polished stuff and pretty fun! Graphics look good but as people have said it's hard to tell the background blocks from the solid ones. Was a bit frustrated at first before I realized I could aim up :P. Also, shotgun needs a buff, I'd personally make it more of a spread gun probably. @randomhuman: Hmm, moving while aiming up worked fine for me. |
| May 14 14:08:11 | 34m 26s | Daylight | ♥ 0 | Played it to the end despite some frustration. I did really like the subtle changes as you progressed and the music helps set the mood nicely too. |
| May 14 15:27:03 | 1h 18m | Land of the Sun | ♥ 0 | Really enjoyed this! Very different and unique. Didn't read what the game was about before I hoped in and was pleasantly surprised. Starting everything with ringing the gong, I felt like I was participating in some kind of ritual challenge of the gods. Everything from the art and sound was really polished as well. Great entry! |
| May 14 16:26:18 | 59m 15s | Lalao | ♥ 1 | Always nice to see some narrative games. Would be interesting to see this expanded on. Maybe a couple more mini games and the story could develop in different ways depending on how well you do at them. The "going deeper" aspect could be interesting as well starting from the outside and then progressively moving on to smaller worlds inside. |
| May 14 16:51:44 | 25m 26s | Anthill Multitask | ♥ 1 | While not the most polished entry in terms of presentation, the concept is excellent. It's amazing how such seemingly easy tasks becomes so difficult when you need to multitask them. I do wish you were allowed a few mistakes before losing though. Anyway, good entry! |
| May 14 17:25:12 | 33m 28s | Western World: The Traitor | ♥ 1 | Simple and elegant entry! The style works great and it feels like an old school arcade game. |
| May 14 18:04:50 | 39m 38s | Six Degrees of Separation Between Me and the Party | ♥ 1 | Haha, excellent take on the theme and a nice little mini adventure game. Art looks really Lucas Artsy. A bit goofy (in a good way) but still pretty relatable. |
| May 14 19:36:53 | 1h 32m | Island Defender | ♥ 1 | Fun for a little while but I don't really like the build limit (at least not as low as it is now). I'd suggest either making it harder to build things or ramp up the enemy rate a bit more so you just can't build an overpowered defense too quickly but if you manage it well you can progressively keep building it up. |
| May 14 20:10:01 | 33m 08s | Tiny Dentist | ♥ 0 | Haha, that was pretty fun. Takes a while to get used to the controls though. Is there any audio in the game? I couldn't hear any. |
| May 14 21:53:23 | 1h 43m | Bunosphere | ♥ 0 | I loved the exploration aspect and how the world is bigger than you first think. The puzzles were engaging and worked well.. for the most part (damn you compass puzzle!). Most issues I had with it people have already mentioned (better feedback is definitely needed). Despite its flaws, there is definitely something special here and it's probably my favorite entry to be honest. |
| May 14 22:35:42 | 42m 19s | MiniRacer | ♥ 0 | Reminds me of micro machines :). It looks nice and music is pretty funny. Physics are kinda wonky and buggy though (I could still drive while flipped over or on the side XD). Also wished there was a way to reverse. |
| May 14 23:39:14 | 1h 03m | SnowGlobe Warrior | ♥ 1 | Nice graphics and moody music! Combat needs more feedback though, either more visual (like a flash when you hit or get hit) or audio, preferably both. Some knockback might make it more satisfying as well. I'm fine with the slowness of the "Special" but the punch probably needs to be faster too. |
| May 14 23:53:15 | 14m 01s | Of Course I Remember You! | ♥ 2 | Haha this was great! The voice acting cracked me up. I thought about doing something with the phrase "It's a small world" too but I couldn't think of a good way to do it. You certainly managed to though and very well at that! Even the shitty art works well for this and just makes it funnier XD. Kudos! |
