Apr 24 22:24:14		Sky Roads	♥ 2	I really enjoy the art in this project. Overall it's calm and relaxed. I like it, although the puzzles could be a tiny bit more challenging. I've fixed the link on my page, thank you for pointing out my mistake 😁
Apr 29 14:57:15	112h 33m	Conquer Earth	♥ 2	Thank you for your feedback on my game. After playing few rounds of Conquer Earth I must say I really enjoyed the experience. Combination of board game and card game mechanics worked great. The gameplay was a bit slow however. I found myself repeatedly clicking "Mine" to get resources a lot. The RNG was unfair, sometimes placing all the starting weapons on the other side of the map. More distinctions between weapons wouldn't hurt either, but we all know how precious the time is during LD. It would be great if it supported multiplayer, as the AI definitely has it flaws and I can see myself playing the game with friends. The sleek design suits the game, it keeps the screen clear. The character art is... "unique". Music and sounds are very pleasant to listen to. Hope to see you next time during LD39!
May 2 08:26:48	65h 29m	Near kingdoms	♥ 1	I find this game really intriguing, mostly because of combination of fighting and resource management. The randomness might have been a bit too "random", I think that more trees spawning near the center of the screen would help the balance. Graphics were pleasant, sounds enjoyable, I wish there was some music in the background.
May 2 09:19:57	53m 09s	Colorfly	♥ 1	What a beautiful experience it was! As others have said the gorgeous graphics and peaceful music create a wonderful atmosphere, which makes one want to come back to this game. The only cons are real nitpicks, like uneven audio levels between stages or flipped wing of the butterfly. I could also add that I was quite confused when the game changed into a sidescroller as I was not expecting it at all! Played the game twice, completing it 100% on the second attempt. I wish I could save my lovely winged friend.
May 2 09:39:52	19m 55s	It's A Small World	♥ 3	Ah the twist! While the ending was not really my favorite, the idea itself was mind-blowing. Fantastic story, absolutely adorable art, great animations, cute speech bubbles and so much more. It's incredible how much was done in 48 hours. The way the buildings and other objects tipped when on the edge of the screen gave it so much charm. My only nitpick is that the music was a bit repetitive.
May 2 10:15:32	35m 40s	Leucos	♥ 1	A solid game! The art is very well designed and suits the theme so well. Everything was sharp and easily distinguishable, a big plus for me. Audio was pleasant with nice music. Good pacing and sharp controls made it very enjoyable to play. I had some problems with jittery movement mid-jump and the fact that to get any power-ups I had to leave the target completely undefended.
May 2 11:23:01	1h 07m	Terrartisan	♥ 1	Lovely concept and nice music. I had good fun solving the puzzles (especially the fourth one), I wish there was more. It took me some time to figure out what the numbers at the bottom mean, they could have a better description. It's a fun toy!
May 2 17:02:55	5h 39m	NO STEP ON HYOOMINS	♥ 2	It's incredible how fun such a simple idea can be. At first I was a bit disturbed by the graphics and amount of gore but decided to read your post-mortem and finally to give the game a try. The feeling of being a giant is real! I was so wary where I step. The fact that my feet block the sight only adds to the tension. While the sounds are not entirely yours they suit the atmosphere well. I admire how you executed the principals from "Game Jam Survival Guide", your game shows, that it's well thought out.
May 2 17:19:52	16m 57s	kumo.	♥ 2	Oh! So relaxing. Slow revolutions of the Sun, calm growth of the grass, peaceful notes hitting my ears with every flower grown, lovely! I can only nitpick, maybe too much. Why does the Sun pass underneath my flowers? Why does sound of the rain go so quickly from one side to the other when the cloud crosses the middle. And what am I supposed to do after I finish? I ask because I need more! I liked it so much.
May 19 11:23:57	402h 04m	SmallWorlds	♥ 1	Fun, demanding and with fluid controls. Got to 620k on my best run. Asteroids should be little bit less punishing, I often died just because I hit one by accident and were not able to reach the closest planet. Music was a bit repetitive, but it's not a big issue.
May 19 11:36:01	12m 04s	Inner Circle	♥ 0	Interesting idea but definitely needs more work. Catching friends was very difficult, they moved way too fast. I liked how one has to balance time they spend with different people and finding new friends. It also sows how short life is and that we should live it the best way. Love the end message.
May 19 12:10:54	34m 53s	TARJECTORIES	♥ 0	I spend too much time playing this game, I think it means I like it! Could use some music to go along with it. I found your post mortem very enjoyable to read. Having worked on a similar project in the past, I know how fun it is to play with gravity and multiple planets. There are some little improvements I think could be made. The UI is too far away from the action, I need to move my eyes so far to check relevant info like power and time. Maybe place it under the turret? Levels with two planets are introduced too late, they are way more fun than single planet levels and I should at least know that I can expect the start (even a screenshot on the page would do). One level with three planets for the final would be awesome. The game is still absurdly fun as it is. Loved it!
May 19 12:51:03	40m 09s	_Save_	♥ 1	I absolutely love the graphics! Game is fast and addictive. I like how the player is invincible, it gives a great feel.
May 19 13:06:50	15m 47s	Lonely Moon	♥ 1	Good looking game, it sets an atmosphere very well. I tried to complete it several times, always run out of oxygen needing just 1 or 2 seconds more to make it. The time limits should be a bit lower. Great graphics, very impressive for a compo entry. Have you really done the textures and models yourself?! They look so professional.
May 19 14:01:55	55m 05s	Defense Against the Giants	♥ 0	Very fun tower defense game! Love the graphic style, impressive textures for a compo entry! In my experience enemies were well balanced. I found an exploit, where after alt-tab the time between waves was infinite and I was able to spam goldmines to get infinite money. Without the exploit mines and runes seem quite useless, runes range is to small to really help with the quick guys. And as previously noted, reaching high enough wave causes wave counter to count up every frame. Game lacks polish but is fun anyway and very pretty.
May 19 14:08:47	6m 52s	ATLANTIS	♥ 2	Very confusing at first due to the lack of tutorial. UI could use some work but other than that it captured my interest well. Graphics are cute, audio pleasant although the flood sound effect was a bit too loud. I would like to see it developed further.
May 19 14:25:59	17m 12s	Little Mouse Planet	♥ 1	Looks nice, the cat is so gruesome! I enjoy the concept, although even after figuring out how everything works I still didn't manage to survive first wave of hunger and died of starvation. The cat is a scary addition, I like how it gives a lot of "horror" to this peaceful game.
May 19 14:42:27	16m 28s	More Room!	♥ 1	Graphics don't show it at first but the game is deep and very polished. I enjoyed it immensely especially the tutorial, which is a rare sight on LD. Main mechanics are well executed, nothing to complain. The concept of increasing the scale of operations was a nice surprise for me, great. The game shows you are ambitious and have done a good job.
May 19 15:23:30	41m 03s	Leafcutters	♥ 1	Not a big fan of management sims myself but your game managed to keep me interested for longer than I'd like to admit, congratulations! It shows such a great potential, it's a real shame you didn't manage to expand it but it's still impressive for a compo entry. I could basically copy what @cerno-b said, I agree with his points. I also wish the game was a more demanding and with a proper lose condition. Would like to see it developed further!
May 19 15:48:33	25m 03s	Where is mommy?	♥ 3	Incredible game. The music sets the mood perfectly. The game itself brings me back to my childhood like no other, the dread and fear of the dark, oh! When the girl ran away for the first time I didn't realize why it had triggered and it made the experience even more frightening! Having figured out why my heart starts beating so loudly and that buttons area labeled it was a smooth ride to the end. Maybe even too smooth, as I was no longer afraid.
May 19 16:21:14	32m 41s	A Relatively Small World	♥ 1	Interesting where The Little Prince has taken you. I adore the graphics style. The puzzles were a bit over-complicated in my opinion. The sound effects were adorable, wish there was more.
May 19 21:07:40	4h 46m	Strangeness	♥ 1	First of all, thank you for your incredibly insightful comment on my game. Having played your I am very pleasantly surprised. The graphics give a rather poor first impression. I liked the puzzles and a steeper than usual learning curve. The ability to throw rocks at enemies gave the game depth while being simple itself, good design! My complaint would regard the level design. On few levels there are extra keys which are absolutely unnecessary (played bug-fixed version) and only confuse the player, distracting from the actual puzzle. This aspect should be improved. Other than that and music being a bit repetitive, it's a great entry!
May 19 21:37:22	29m 42s	Unlucky Planet	♥ 1	Great game, keeps one interested! However gets boring after you get all the upgrades and can just spin in one direction and jump constantly to get over 3k every time. Lovely graphics, a bit repetitive music but good sounds.
May 19 21:48:38	11m 16s	MicroCHIP	♥ 0	Great graphics and especially the animations, I would love to see some on the character model as well. Game is polished although a bit bland. Maybe one gameplay mechanic would give it enough depth to make the game truly stand out. The sounds were enjoyable. The idea itself is very interesting, I wish there was more depth, because I can see potential in this game.
