| Jul 31 21:09:32 | Mech Core | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I got to 174 bots before I realized how much time had passed! I like the variety in pickups and enemies, and I was really surprised when the boss enemy showed up. I think it would be helpful if you made a rundown of what each enemy was and what they did. I was really confused by the guys with the red spheres around them because I kept shooting at them but they didn't die. I think one big improvement is having some in-game way of seeing what the mechanics are. Other than that, really solid game for 3 days of work! | |
| Jul 31 21:17:45 | 8m 13s | HellOnEarth | ♥ 1 | Really fun, the graphics and style really gave me nostalgia of playing games as a kid on my dad's computer in the early 90s. Has a very creepy vibe, especially with that intro voice over. Gameplay is really fun, I really enjoy the risk vs reward factor of keeping people alive. If you kill them then you won't get as many, but if you don't kill them you might run out of ammo or lives in a rough situation. Only thing I would really suggest adding would be some music to set the vibe. But I'm really digging the creepy horror theme you have going on. |
| Jul 31 21:29:39 | 11m 54s | Tycoon | ♥ 1 | Cool game, definitely different than lots of the other games. I got to Uncle Scam but he filled his money meter first. The controls are tight, and I like the board-game look to it. The sound effects I thought were a little bit silly and somewhat annoying, and it could have used some ambient music. Other than that, really cool game! |
| Jul 31 21:37:34 | 7m 55s | R0m-B4 | ♥ 2 | Interesting idea for a puzzle game, I like the mix of memory games and the fact that you can use information from dying to choose a better path next time. I wish it was a little bit more forgiving though. I died multiple times on the second level due to being just 1 battery point off. |
| Jul 31 21:45:23 | 7m 49s | Jim The Small Electrictric Man | ♥ 1 | "WTF Bird!" Really cute endless runner. I loved the little things he says when he runs into things. I didn't manage to make it through with 4 batteries though, I'm pretty bad at these types of games. I really enjoyed the music, it's a solid retro-like song. The sound effects were good too! One thing I'd recommend is making it a little bit lighter though. I had a hard time telling what was going on because everything was so dark! Maybe use lighter shades of navy blue or something to make it look a little bit brighter. |
| Jul 31 21:53:39 | 8m 16s | Delivery Drain | ♥ 1 | Nice relaxing game, though I even struggled with Easy after being up for 3 days! Cool concept, mixes memory games with delivery games. It could use some more stuff added into the gameplay. Free-driving, hazards, other traffic, etc could be added. Even easier would be a point system based on how long it took you and how much battery you had left. Really cool relaxing game though! |
| Jul 31 22:00:18 | 6m 39s | Baby Space Saucer | ♥ 0 | Hey I like the concept, but I want to let you know your game is oversized for itch.io's player and you can't see some of the controls. Everything to the right of the ball with spheres in it on the right side is cut off :(. |
| Jul 31 22:12:21 | 12m 03s | Super Power Frenzy | ♥ 1 | Really fun game here. I found myself playing quite a few rounds and surviving for quite a while once I figured it out. I'm really a sucker for orbital-based mechanics and thought it was really fun. |
| Jul 31 22:14:29 | 2m 08s | Dying (Phone) Light | ♥ 1 | Phone was stuck at 0% battery even while charging :/ |
| Jul 31 22:19:04 | 4m 35s | Inefficiency | ♥ 1 | Got stuck on the second level, cool idea though. I would recommend adding in some sort of attack effect, because at first I was confused when pressing left mouse button and only a sound played. Would be nice to have some visual feedback. |
| Jul 31 22:25:54 | 6m 50s | Burnup Blade | ♥ 0 | Cool little beat-em up. Only issue is you can get infi-locked due to no recharge time after hitstun. |
| Jul 31 23:14:22 | 48m 28s | Luvius | ♥ 0 | I really enjoyed the concept of having to rely on your hearing to solve the levels. And, in response to the other comments, it worked fine on my Windows. |
| Jul 31 23:19:48 | 5m 26s | BatteryPackMan | ♥ 2 | Really interesting idea, this would have fit well with "You are not the Main Character" as well! I found a small bug, if you right click to charge something, and then you release right click and stand still, you won't be able to right-click charge again until you move. Small issue in what is overall a really cool project. |
| Jul 31 23:32:33 | 12m 45s | Enter the dark tunnel | ♥ 0 | Really interesting take on the idea of a clicker game. I was really bad at it and still had 1500m to go but I loved the way you could upgrade things. Suggestion: Maybe make it a bit more clear what some of the upgrades do. I could tell what two of them did, but the rightmost 3 I was kinda confused about. |
| Jul 31 23:35:52 | 3m 19s | daemon | ♥ 3 | Cool art and mood, a little bit too difficult for even me though. Also experienced some graphical glitches (lines being drawn on screen). |
| Jul 31 23:46:58 | 11m 06s | Be The President | ♥ 1 | I agree with xand, super interesting take on the theme. While everyone else is thinking of power as energy, you are thinking of it as political power. I didn't last long at all, but I thought it was hilarious. |
| Jul 31 23:57:31 | 10m 33s | Doki Doki Magica | ♥ 4 | I loved the art style, especially the boss. Couldn't get past it though, kept dying. I think the sound compliments the game nicely too! |
| Aug 1 00:09:06 | 11m 35s | Defender of the Energy! | ♥ 1 | Really, really great art. Simple, yet enjoyable gameplay. I made it to 2:10 before I finally died. |
| Aug 1 00:15:47 | 6m 41s | Fleeting powers | ♥ 1 | Really liked the spell system, lots of cool spells in there. I think they would work great in a full game release! |
| Aug 1 00:20:32 | 4m 45s | Star Looper | ♥ 1 | Cool concept, felt like it moves a little bit too fast for me to keep up with though. |
| Aug 1 01:28:28 | 1h 07m | Turn 0n D@ Gohst Z0n€ | ♥ 2 | Oh man, this game was short but absolutely hilarious. I really enjoyed the humor and the art was absolutely amazing. You know those eyes that look through the floor board, the ones in the second screenshot. They render on top of the player, which I'm guessing wasn't intended. Only issue with the game overall, short but sweet, and really funny. |
| Aug 1 01:41:10 | 12m 42s | QTechnologic Quest | ♥ 5 | Really cute game, I really like the big splash screen after you beat the level. One thing I did notice is even if your power is at 0, you still keep moving and the counter goes into the negative. Also, is there supposed to be only one level? Either way, I'm happy this cute little robot managed to get QT.Lib :D. The song is really catchy too. |
| Aug 1 01:49:08 | 7m 58s | Tales of a Hamster: A Clickable Journey | ♥ 2 | Really like this game's art style, it's really, really funny. Only thing I'd recommend is allowing the player to spend power to upgrade the wheel, and each item to have a couple tiers of upgrades. |
| Aug 1 02:14:03 | 24m 55s | Electric Castle | ♥ 1 | I had to give up on Level 5, it got a little bit too hard for me with the bouncy pads. But I love the main character and the platforming controls are very tight. |
| Aug 1 02:28:19 | 14m 16s | Deep Jellergy! | ♥ 1 | My sub just sinks right at the beginning, even though I hold down space bar. Am I missing something? |
| Aug 1 02:43:31 | 15m 12s | Evil Lab: the Profane Enlightenment | ♥ 4 | Edit: NVM seems you caught it quick enough. |
| Aug 1 02:53:40 | 10m 09s | Mechbot 2000 | ♥ 1 | Super funny, nice attempt. Could use some explanation of the mechanics in game, and I got stun-locked by that enemy at the end of the first level. His bullets kept shooting me up into the air and it took forever to fall. |
| Aug 1 02:59:39 | 5m 59s | Blackout: Security Breach | ♥ 1 | Hey so I tried out your game, I think there's a bug though. Two enemies start on the screen and no more spawn in. I killed both of them and ran around left and right for about a minute and nothing else happened. I love your running animation though, it's really really cool. |
| Aug 1 03:13:23 | 13m 44s | Deep Space Burrito | ♥ 2 | Oh man the art in this is absolutely incredible and hilarious. So much detail put in! I really think this is one of the funniest submissions I've seen so far. Also, I love the panoramic style of the camera. |
| Aug 1 03:17:40 | 4m 17s | Eat pray live | ♥ 1 | Beautiful Art style, simple yet really fun game play. The giants design are incredible. The game had me laughing. I couldn't find any bugs either. Overall a really fun game. "Giants run on Jesus" |
| Aug 1 03:21:36 | 3m 56s | Sip Sip Universe | ♥ 0 | Really cute, funny idea. The character is adorable, and I love the wine making and how you can name things. The character moves a bit slow though making traversing the landscapes a little bit frustrating. |
| Aug 1 03:35:42 | 14m 06s | A SWELL BULLET-HELL | ♥ 1 | Really fun shoot-em-up. I got a little bit confused when I pressed E and I ran around as a dog for a while, but I thought it was really funny. I really enjoyed moving around blowing up robots left and right. |
| Aug 1 03:55:43 | 20m 01s | Mountaintop Groovy Robot Laser Battle | ♥ 1 | Beautiful art and music, unique gameplay idea. I had a lot of issues timing the actions to the beat to something as swingy as that song. |
| Aug 1 04:03:34 | 7m 51s | Zone Slayer | ♥ 2 | Super nostalgia trip with every aspect of this game. Really cool. Wish it was a bit easier to turn though. |
| Aug 1 04:26:01 | 22m 27s | Lantern | ♥ 5 | Got 77 points! Glad I'm not the only one who thought this theme was good for horror :D! Really, really love your art though. It is gorgeous and high quality, and adds to the dark feel of the game. |
| Aug 1 04:29:31 | 3m 30s | CowPow! | ♥ 1 | Really funny, I kind of like how you have to manage the UFO while picking up the cow to make sure you don't lose them. It makes it really challenging. One issue I had is cows jumping on top of my spaceship preventing me from taking off! Pesky cows! |
| Aug 1 04:43:48 | 14m 17s | POWERCUT, Inc. | ♥ 2 | I want to say this game is near perfect, and Turbo mode is a nice touch. |
| Aug 1 05:00:23 | 16m 35s | Pet power is running out! | ♥ 0 | Hey I saw you had no reviews so I thought I'd drop by. First off, it would be super helpful if you zip your game and put a direct link to the zip. I was confused when I ended up in your google drive folder! Second, Art is probably the best I've seen. It's super cool. I couldn't figure out how to play the game. I went to where the gambling was and tried to place a bet but all the other people disappeared. Another thing you should know, you need to rate other people's games so that your game will be more visible more people will play it! |
| Aug 1 15:21:58 | 10h 21m | Trump Clicker | ♥ 1 | Hey, really fun clicker. I've played a few popular clickers and have a couple of suggestions: Your game is susceptible to auto-clickers. I set mine to a duration of 1ms and racked up points really quick. Maybe set some really small but realistic limit for clicks (like maybe 10-20ms between clicks max.) Maybe make an upgrade that increases click power. Other than that, very nicely done. I really enjoy the art. |
| Aug 1 21:10:51 | 5h 48m | Funhouse Blackout | ♥ 3 | I love this idea. I'm a huge fan of horror games and it's good to see other horror entries. The concept is really interesting and creepy, and I loved having to keep track of the map. The positional sound was on point to, and added a lot to the horror with headphones on. Amazing game!!! |
| Aug 1 21:21:28 | 10m 37s | Don't Let the Light Go Out | ♥ 2 | Really cool game, nice variety of enemies. Good character movement, I really like the jetpack and how you have to really take advantage of it to kill enemies like snakes. One recommendation I have is ending the level when the player dies. I died mid-wave and the only enemy left alive was the one that shoots rockets. So I just sat there with static on my screen for a good 15-20 seconds while the robot just lobbed rockets slowly at the light in the middle. |
| Aug 1 21:43:57 | 22m 29s | Greenhouse Dystopia | ♥ 2 | I liked the art style a lot, and definitely liked the gameplay. The character controls really nicely and responsively. Also, when's the DLC coming ;). Two recommendations. The spacebar attack isn't totally clear what it's range or hitbox is. Also, the perspective on the platforms looks really nice but it's a little bit hard to tell where the platforms edge is. I found myself often jumping way too early because of this until I got the hang of the perspective. I ended up beating it in like 6-7 tries but wishing there was more! |
| Aug 1 21:53:17 | 9m 20s | AtomoS | ♥ 1 | Cute little game. I found it to be really hard, only made it to 22 points after a 15 or so tries. But I keep trying to get further and survive for just a little bit longer! Couple of small things: I found it hard to remember what color represented what ability. I'm not quite sure what you could do about it, but it's something I found myself noticing. Also the "Out of Energy" renders underneath the atoms, and I think it would look a tiny bit more polished if it was rendered on top instead. |
| Aug 1 22:02:09 | 8m 52s | Potential Energy | ♥ 4 | You managed to convey a really powerful experience using extremely simple art assets, very very good job. The music definitely adds a ton to the game, and it's absolutely beautiful. You did really well with the lighting too. Really good job! I also wanted to add, most other games built gameplay mechanics about running out of power, but I really loved how you took the theme and made a story about it! |
| Aug 1 22:08:19 | 6m 10s | Out of Power | ♥ 1 | The art was really funny, I thought it was really cool. It would be interesting to add in other management mechanics that you need to do to keep the patient alive. |
| Aug 2 14:37:18 | 16h 28m | Inefficient Plasma Weapon | ♥ 1 | Intresting! I like how the ship didn't have any weapons on it so you had to rely on outpacing the enemies. I also like how collecting those shields make the game easier in the sense that it kills enemies faster but also harder because there is more stuff to dodge! I played a few times and didn't get very far though. I do like how it has the floating, momentum-based movement of space shooter games but I think it would be a little better if it was toned down a little bit as well as turn speed was increased. |
| Aug 2 15:31:57 | 54m 39s | No Sorcerer's Sky | ♥ 1 | Really fun game, but I struggled a lot trying to stay alive. By the time the asteroid with the mining stations on it passes, I usually end up getting killed by meteors and space ships. Maybe tone down the rate at which those things come in, because as of right now I found it to be really tight on timing. Also I found myself clicking main menu way to much and losing my progress. It should be a little more intuitive that escape exits a screen. Also one tiny bug: you can click on buildings through the different building screens. |
| Aug 2 18:49:43 | 3h 17m | Light | ♥ 0 | Hey I see a new version was uploaded about 40 minutes ago. Is there a list of all the changes, or a link to the original version? You should know that you are supposed to include a list of any and all changes made post-jam and if the changes are beyond minor fast tweaks you are supposed to submit them as a post-jam game. |
| Aug 2 19:40:16 | 50m 33s | Space Rescue. My first Jam game | ♥ 0 | Cool game! The intro screen was a little bit blurry, but I liked having to manage your boosts. I managed to get to 10 pickups before dying! |
| Aug 2 19:42:40 | 2m 24s | Magnetic Power | ♥ 1 | I like the idea of being able to undo your moves and try again, would have been great to see it finished! |
| Aug 2 19:56:08 | 13m 28s | Batterycorp | ♥ 1 | Really cool game, loved the theme of navigating a computer with tons of popup windows. |
| Aug 2 23:03:57 | 3h 07m | PowerMan | ♥ 2 | Hey, first off, it's amazing you managed to make something like this at 14. That is really impressive. Like others have said, the respawn times are really long. The controls are nice and smooth though, but I wish the game was a little bit longer. I found two small bugs in your game though! The snail enemies: if you take a second or two in between shots they die in two hits. But if you tap F twice really fast they don't die and require a third shot to kill. Also, I use D and E as my primary drives, and found the game did not run unless it was on my C drive. Otherwise, really cool entry! |
| Aug 2 23:24:44 | 20m 47s | Energy Thief | ♥ 0 | I like how the game takes place in a game boy screen, it's a really cute concept. I like the character designs. The character moves a bit slowly for my tastes, and I found it a little too easy to get surrounded and cornered in some sections of the map. Otherwise, pretty solid arcade-like game. |
| Aug 3 02:12:28 | 2h 47m | Fat Jack's Fun Run | ♥ 1 | Really, really funny game. ##### Pros I loved the control disable mechanic. I felt like it made the game feel super unique. The voxel art you made was incredible and beautiful too. The music complimented the game really well. ##### Cons The fact that you throw sweets, I thought it would drain my energy meter because they are the same item that you pick up to gain energy. There should maybe be some sort of different item being thrown. Why isn't there more of this game???????????? ##### Overall Really, really well done game. |
| Aug 3 16:09:14 | 13h 56m | Power Plant Simulator. | ♥ 1 | Really, really cool game. I hit 402 energy! ##### Pros * Love the art style, and love the liquid physics. I also liked the run animation. It all looks really cool. * Simple yet engaging gameplay * Good use of sound effects and music * Really unique and cool take on the theme ##### Cons * Could use a bit more management. Maybe every 100 energy generated, new stuff should come along and give you even more things to manage. I found being able to manage the 3 meters pretty easily once I got the hang of it. * Jumping doesn't really serve a purpose. * I discovered a bug that ended my run. If you go to either wall, and spam the jump button, you'll just keep jumping until you fall outside the level bounds (whoops). ##### Overall A really, really cool game! I definitely enjoyed it a lot. |
| Aug 3 19:09:09 | 2h 59m | Katie Kills Zombies | ♥ 1 | Really fun core mechanic, could use some more features added to it. I love the design of the player character. Definitely could have benefited from sound. I feel like the post-jam changelog is a little bit too long and warrants a new build though, and your original build should still be provided. You really should only make changes to the jam version of your game that prevents players from finishing your game. |
