Jul 31 10:42:18 Escape from P.O.W.E.R. ♥ 1 Really like your interpretation of the theme! Bit intense for me though, might want to put up a epilepsy warning ;) Animations look good too. PS. it's really god damn hard... Can't get past the first level to be honest :^)
Jul 31 10:58:29 16m 11s Encounters ♥ 1 I really liked the game. Though it doesn't have much (challenging) gameplay, it was still very enjoyable. The enviroment is nice and graphics are more than I would have expected from a jam game. Had a few laughs too. Well done! Ps. I cracked up big time at selling kids for alcohol and credits! :^)
Jul 31 11:05:21 6m 52s Who Wants to be Alive? ♥ 1 I really liked the fast past question-answer style gameplay, didn't manage to get too far, but it was tense! Only problem I had is that WASD didn't work, so I could only move with the arrow keys, which slowed me down a bit. Good job on finishing this.
Jul 31 11:12:43 7m 22s Smash ball ♥ 1 I CAME IN LIKE A WRECKING BALL!! Seriously though, smashing through cubes like crazy is really fun! I think there is some good potential for a game here. For now (I think because of time restraints) there is an end-goal missing, but I like the mechanics.
Jul 31 14:58:31 3h 45m Jeff Long Run ♥ 0 Dangit, can't play this one because avast thinks it's a virus. For some reason it won't let me ignore the warnings :/
Jul 31 15:09:40 11m 09s Stoked ♥ 1 This is a lovely game. The aesthetics really pulled me in and made me try it. It's cute and works great. The only critique I would have is that there isn't much of a challenge right now, because it's really easy to keep the fire going. I like the addition of the slimes, and you having to respond quickly, maybe they could climb up to the mineshaft too? Anyway, good job.
Jul 31 15:40:27 30m 47s Electric Neon ♥ 3 This is honestly the most addictive game I've played this whole jam. I TOTALLY DIG the artstyle and music. Controls take some getting used to but are intuitive after that. The only thing that could make this game better would be drifting for those sharp corners <3. But great job man, this should be rated way higher than it is!
Jul 31 15:47:15 6m 48s LD39 - Runner Clone ♥ 0 Avast thinks this is a virus and I since you can't ignore the warnings, the .exe file gets deleted. Dangit :/
Jul 31 16:06:59 19m 44s Alone in the night ♥ 1 I really liked the look and feel of this game, although it's still pretty empty (which I totally understand because it was made for this jam). The drawings (I assume they're drawings) are really great. I would love to see more of this style throughout the game's environment. As some others already pointed out, the 'hold w to walk towards the mousepointer' controls can be a bit weird to get used to, but isn't too big of a deal. One more thing: is it just me or are hamsters really rare? I was sometimes walking around for a few minutes without finding any. They would also escape super easily and be gone forever, leaving me with no way to defend myself. Anyway, nice job! Good luck and have fun working on this in the future :)
Jul 31 16:21:44 14m 45s Programmer Energy ♥ 1 I'll start by saying: that ragequit animation is amazing haha! I like this game, I really do. Whether it's because of it's cute artstyle, the fast typing action or the sheer panic I experience when I need to press two buttons at the same time. Only critique I would have is that sometimes it prompts you to press two keys at the same time, that you would type with the same hand. I'm not sure about you, but I don't practice yoga on my hands, so this is where I usually come to my inevitable doom ;) Anyway, good job on finishing this! You put a lot of work into this, and it shows. Best of luck.
Aug 1 21:00:50 28h 39m Deep Space Nine Volts ♥ 1 It's really quite challenging, but a really great idea and use of the theme! It's such a simple concept on the surface but works super well. Good job!
Aug 2 07:58:42 10h 57m INVISIBRO ♥ 0 I really really liked this concept. The going invisible pretty quickly fits the fast paced gameplay very well and I had quite a bit of fun. The controls are super responsive. I would almost say, too responsive, in a way. It takes some getting used to (which is not necessarily a bad thing), but makes the 'jump up and move to another platform' motion a bit harder, since you'll be doing lots of 'I moved too much to the side and now bumbed my head against a platform'. This might just be me though ;) One more serious critique that made the game borderline-unbeatable for me: the reset button is 'R', which is a bit inconvenient in the first place, as you have to move your hand to reach it every time you die, but also 'T' is the button that resets the ENTIRE GAME! Everything I've gotten far into the first level I would die a lot and blindly hitting T would stop everything, sadly :( So some (possibly subjective) advice: Make spacebar the 'last checkpoint' reset button and maybe move the 'main menu'reset button to a button in the escape menu. Anyway, I really didn't mean to ramble for that long, because I actually really love this game! Good job on creating it, I would love to play some more if you continue development.
Aug 2 08:24:29 25m 47s Zombies and RVs ♥ 1 Super glad you made this game! it's fast paced, fun and the graphics look super duper nice. The idea reminds me somewhat of a clustertruck vs L4D kinda deal, which is a compliment. Some possible tips for future development: I would make the levels a bit longer, it does feel like you fade to black rather quickly. Also, just an idea, but maybe make it so the stream of RV's is a loooot longer, the level is a bit rougher (more hills, gaps, bumbs that force you to stay moving), remove the front rv bonus and add an 'on the move' bonus. This would maybe activate people to jump more, because you never know which rv's are gonna crash/ explode. But overal, very fun and nice game. Good job on making it!
