| Aug 2 20:33:37 | Runnerbot LD39Entry | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun and innovative runner! Love the UI stylization. Also, procedural generation is a cool feature to have! I implemented it for my game as well, and I can say it is really tough to execute under such little time. Great work! | |
| Aug 2 21:03:50 | 30m 13s | Thermal Power Plant K-13 | ♥ 4 | Крутая графика! Flavour text на предметах и постройках тоже офигенный. Но без туториала и описания предметов, действительно, нужны пол-литра или больше. Как-то можно спасти парня на снегоходе от волков? И от чего зависит шанс нападения? Проиграл несколько раз из-за рандома, надеюсь на пост-компо. |
| Aug 2 21:22:11 | 18m 21s | Character Building | ♥ 2 | Very distinctive and very deep. The constrast between music and colors one side and writing on another works. Reminds me of [Nebraska](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821549/), especially the way how it depicts casualty of the life. |
| Aug 2 22:22:34 | 1h 00m | Run, Joseph, run | ♥ 1 | Арт крутецкий, особенно палитра. Музыка атмосферная. А ещё селфи с рыбой, это-ж просто фича фич. Понравилось. |
| Aug 2 23:03:29 | 40m 55s | Exponential Maintenance Engineer | ♥ 1 | The idea is really neat! Controls are very solid and smooth as well. It was pretty tough to predict rockets' paths though, as well as match 2-part explosives. A very strong time killer overall, might get back to it later! |
| Aug 4 15:53:38 | 40h 50m | KOCMOHaBT Spaceman | ♥ 1 | The artwork is really distinctive and cool! So is the music, which also adds a lot to the mood. It was rather unclear though that connecting satellites restores your power. The fact that the ship slowly loses momentum in the open space is also weird. I doubt I managed to visit all the planets, but flying around and trying to use the gravity to accelerate / deaccelerate was really fun! |
| Aug 4 16:37:48 | 44m 10s | Engolasters January 2021 | ♥ 1 | Fancy graphics, especially colors and detalization! The text was fun to read as well, love the jokes from AskTerisk guys, haha! Driving the car was a little bit off though. Big open world is a great feature, but it felt somewhat empty. And yeah, you should definitely add an option to skip the dialogs. Solid entry overall, I imagine this may evolve into an interesting open-world adventure game. |
| Aug 4 16:57:58 | 20m 10s | A lone crewman | ♥ 1 | The idea is really cool, love the gameplay! Running around, powering systems and trying to dodge asteroids you just spotted on the map is quite fun! Although, it was unobvious what are gun turrets for and what does the ship's speed depend on (can you turn off one engine for example?). Great power-management game overall with huge potential! |
| Aug 4 19:10:16 | 2h 12m | The Light City of Karola | ♥ 1 | Art is lovely, especially particles and lightning! As some have mentioned already, it's difficult to realize that the sphere represents your health. Aside from that, great platformer with solid controls! |
| Aug 4 19:42:17 | 32m 01s | Despot 3900 | ♥ 1 | Very retro and authentic looking, great level of polish! And awesome theme interpretation too! Gameplay though has some room for exploits and overall is heavily random. If you work more on the scale and depth of the game (to the level of, say, [Warsim](http://gamejolt.com/games/warsim/217136)), it can potentially become an amazing turn-based strategy. |
| Aug 6 07:08:55 | 35h 26m | BAT-BATTERY | ♥ 1 | Loved the controls and the physics! The fact that you can block projectiles with your battery using momentum is pretty cool. The battery seems to run out too fast in my opinion and it immediately jumps from full to almost 0, so it's hard to tell how much time you have left. Due to that, exploring the levels wasn't as fun as it could be. Anyway, the game does have potential for sure, keep it up! |
| Aug 6 07:26:52 | 17m 57s | Zest & Goop | ♥ 1 | Art is great, and the music has a tune! The concept of powering the towers is somewhat innovative, but the gameplay is really slow and thus it feels like no challenge for me. I guess, a little bit of balancing might turn this into an awesome tower defense game. |
| Aug 6 07:41:09 | 14m 17s | Soul Gun | ♥ 3 | The core mechanic is unusual and fun! The difficulty is over the top though, maybe you should throw in some more checkpoints. The hero also changes velocity too quickly, which makes him hard to control, but it might be a feature. However, I still had some fun, cheers for the game! |
| Aug 6 08:22:20 | 41m 11s | Plug Me | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game and impressive level of polish! Loved the power bar mechanic. And yeah, level design is great, difficulty curve, diversity and the all-around use of mechanics are all there. Oh, I'm also a fan of both the animated logo and the ending sceren. Such a cool entry. |
| Aug 7 12:24:49 | 28h 02m | Zombies and RVs | ♥ 1 | Fast-paced and cool. Love the parallax background and the physics, that moon is bad-ass. But shooting lacks juice in my opinion - bigger projectiles, screenshake and more bassy sounds would help, I guess. It also felt not challenging enough, but it might be just me. |
| Aug 9 11:57:45 | 47h 32m | Despotism 3k | ♥ 2 | Атмосфера офигенная, музыка очень контрастирует с анимациями, и это прямо круто! Наткнулся на несколько багов. 1) Не смог пройти второй уровень, энергия постоянно висела на максимальной отметке. Перезапуск помог. 2) На 6 уровне закинул людей в food producer, и они перестали отрисовываться. Еду не производили, забрать их было нельзя, но их энергия отображалсь. В целом, геймплей интересный и динамичный. Понравилось. Иногда, правда, не хватало паузы или возможности сменить скорость игры. |
