| Dec 5 06:25:08 | Phrygian Fantasy | ♥ 1 | I played through to the end, so I must have enjoyed it! This is a great little platform and discovering the secrets about the world and the story as it opened up really kept my interest. I encountered a tearing bug (?) when jumping out towards the cave exit. I tried again multiple times and encountered the same tearing artifact. (Played on Chrome). I wish the jumping was a bit easier, but that might just be me being used to hitting the Space bar to jump. Loved the story, loved the changing world, and loved the music. | |
| Dec 5 07:13:23 | 48m 15s | ClickerVillage | ♥ 3 | Hah! Couldn't help but click the clicker to check it out. I like the layout of the central village, and the humor as things take a turn for the worse. Can't say much on the innovation side of things (cause, clicker!), but I played it for way longer than I meant to, which is kind of the point. |
| Dec 5 07:17:57 | 4m 34s | Post Morton | ♥ 1 | This game drew me in right away . . . but I crumbled into an ocd mushpile because I wanted to do too many things. The upgrade tree is nice, the graphics are perfect for this game, sound effects are cute and fitting. I love the idea, and it suits the theme well, but I wish the gameplay was more approachable. I found it too punishing early on, like having to go back to the post office to find out which letter I was holding when I could swap them out in my bag. |
| Dec 5 07:31:33 | 13m 36s | Stealy | ♥ 1 | This is a great game all around. I'm impressed by the amount of content and the level design. It was really fun, I'll definitely be back to play it some more. |
| Dec 5 07:40:38 | 9m 05s | Starving Blue | ♥ 2 | Simple, but solid. The balance adds a bit of something new to the idea. I liked the character and the concept. |
| Dec 5 07:55:01 | 14m 23s | Bunnyfication | ♥ 2 | I was a bit lost at first until I figured out I needed to build right away. Later, I found myself wishing that drop bait and click rabbits were different buttons, but I guess that's part of the theme! Too many bunnies! Really fantastic game though. A pleasure to play. Relaxing, yes. Adorable, yes. But with gameplay that made me want to play a bunch more. |
| Dec 5 19:04:23 | 11h 09m | Sushi Secret | ♥ 2 | Oh man, that took quite a turn! The parody was great, the base game was great. My only unmet wish is that I could've had longer to play it before the shift! |
| Dec 5 19:21:50 | 17m 27s | King's Gambit | ♥ 1 | Wow, lots of content! Great job with all the writing and storytelling, that's no easy feat in a weekend. It took me a minute to figure out the UI and how to progress, so maybe with updated graphics or buttons that could be made more intuitive. Great work! |
| Dec 5 22:20:15 | 2h 58m | K-Tar: A Musical Odyssey | ♥ 2 | Fantastic, bite-sized game. The graphics are spot-on and well executed. Nice animations, nice sound effects, and solid concept. Light on the gameplay side of things, but the rest is so solid I can't really complain! There is an issue with viewing your inventory when you get to the top of the screen, since the (awesome) radial menu follows the character. I hope you keep fleshing this out to add more levels and challenging gameplay, I'd love to see it! |
| Dec 6 01:44:09 | 3h 23m | Speed Date Shuffle | ♥ 1 | Really solid game, with multiple levels, in 72 hours! Way to go! I particularly enjoyed this one and progressing through the different levels. I encountered no bugs or any other weirdness, overall, just a polished game. As for gameplay, it was a lot of fun. Figuring out the strategy and balance of when to pounce into the conversation is bit like...well,...real dating! Then, figuring out I could lay day cards and then swap them out if the conversation shifted was an exciting gameplay breakthrough. My only suggestion would be to add a way to swap out cards (say, swap your 2nd card with something else), especially for the harder levels. The voiceovers in the audio were a bit jarring for my taste, but overall, this was a ton of fun to play. Thanks for sharing it! |
| Dec 6 02:12:02 | 27m 53s | Traffic Jammers | ♥ 1 | Great casual game. I'd love to see it on Android someday. It was surprisingly difficult to cause traffic jams! But with a bit of balancing, this could be an even better game than it already is! |
| Dec 6 02:21:17 | 9m 15s | Quantum's Rick | ♥ 3 | Hah! This was fun. Hard, definitely, but fun. Loved the music, the art, and the simple yet deceptively difficult gameplay. |
| Dec 6 04:20:10 | 1h 58m | Epitaph | ♥ 1 | Very nice experiential game. The visuals were lovely, and I appreciated your attention to details, like how she stops walking when she coughs. You've certainly managed to communicate the difficulties of aging and I appreciate the care you took in conscientiously dealing with that topic. |
