| Dec 6 06:25:18 | Crate Expectations | ♥ 0 | Really nice job! Once I got the hang of it (and saw some return customers) I got into the organization groove. Found it was easy to get stuck in the pathing of the robot when there were lots of crates around me, but that's all part of the experience, I guess. 📦 | |
| Dec 6 06:32:30 | 7m 12s | Drone Invasion | ♥ 2 | Agreed with @tetra -- was confused when the score wasn't updating. I was pretty sure that I was getting rid of some of the aliens, but they would continue to float around. I really like the risk/reward mechanic of hitting the aliens with the meteors, but having them avoid your ship. Nicely done! Wish there was some music/sfx to go along with the game, too. |
| Dec 6 06:41:27 | 8m 57s | Avarice | ♥ 3 | Interesting take on the theme, gameplay was fun, and the music help me keep the pace up in the kind of way you'd like to see in an arena shooter. The tradeoff of gems to points wasn't always clear, however, especially while in the middle of a fight! 💎 |
| Dec 6 06:45:41 | 4m 14s | It's raining tennis balls! | ♥ 2 | Really cute game! I think the graphics and audio really went well together to create a nice 'lo-fi' aesthetic. Game was fun, although I didn't get the high scores of some of the other posters. Wasn't sure exactly what changing the racket side did; a little more feedback on that would have been helpful. Well done! 🎾 |
| Dec 6 07:32:21 | 46m 40s | Crapbag | ♥ 1 | Fun to play, fun to learn, fun to master. Just left me wanting a little more in terms of length! |
| Dec 6 08:02:16 | 29m 55s | Globstopper | ♥ 2 | I really liked your take on the idea! In the end I found it a little difficult to strike a balance where the ship was nicely controllable, so I found myself generally playing it safe. The boss battle and additional worlds were nice and refreshing, too -- well done fitting all that stuff in! |
| Dec 6 16:50:07 | 8h 47m | HUDdled | ♥ 2 | Really enjoyed playing the game, and I'd say it ended at exactly the right time before I got too frustrated. Despite the (rather loud) volume, the music helped to create the frantic feeling even before I found myself overwhelmed with multiple cooling options. Nicely done! ⌨️ |
| Dec 6 17:03:50 | 13m 43s | Epitaph | ♥ 1 | Overall excellent job. Beautifully-drawn visuals and excellent use of audio really helped to establish the mood you were going for. Mechanically, though, I felt that the process was a little bit slow and was a little bit too subtle in revealing what was going on. Some more obvious feedback that years were passing, or that the 'chores' were being accomplished, would certainly have helped. Very memorable experience! |
| Dec 6 17:18:41 | 14m 51s | DeLight | ♥ 2 | Have to agree with the others, found this game very difficult and could not progress very far, even though I really wanted to - theme was very well established, the concept was interesting and I would've liked to explore it further. Audio and visuals really worked well together to establish the mood. I died very quickly many times, unfortunately, because I couldn't figure out how to run away from any monsters. |
| Dec 7 06:42:06 | 13h 23m | Beware the Slime | ♥ 3 | The crisp, vibrant graphics really help to pull the concept together and reinforce the theme & aesthetic you're going for. Really well done! Unfortunately couldn't play too much of this due to needing a Player 2 handy. |
| Dec 8 02:03:32 | 19h 21m | Brilliance | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the concept. It took me a while to figure out how to change colours -- would help to have an in-game reminder at the same time. I wish the challenge ramped up a little more slowly, but regardless, you've made a really interesting and replayable game. Well done! |
| Dec 8 02:41:38 | 38m 06s | Coffee Run | ♥ 1 | Really solid game, nice polish with the cell shading and run animation. Generally easy to pick up, but it was hard to avoid water bottles when you're moving slowly, so it could be really slow to pick up enough speed from coffee mugs. SFX were quite nice, would have liked some music to go along with them as well! |
| Dec 9 02:15:30 | 23h 33m | Lose weight | ♥ 1 | Really cute game! Easy to pick up, clearly understood mechanics, and a good take on the theme. Just would have really enjoyed a little music to round out the presentation! |
| Dec 17 23:56:58 | 213h 41m | FriendSpace | ♥ 1 | Really well done! The way you incorporated so many polished elements within a two-room architecture made this feel like a full, complete game. Some additional feedback on when you're spending money to buy gifts would have been helplfull (I eventually figured it out, though). |
| Dec 18 00:07:54 | 10m 56s | Corridor | ♥ 0 | What an excellent twist on the theme. Took me about a second to go from being annoyed at the UI to realizing what was going on. Great job surprising me! |
| Dec 18 00:24:47 | 16m 53s | Zbluch! | ♥ 1 | Really cute concept! Animations were lovely. Would have enjoyed playing more levels! |
| Dec 18 00:37:30 | 12m 43s | The more high level the engine, the worse it gets | ♥ 1 | Really like the idea! Graphics were nice and clean, everything was easy to read. Had some fun playing around with circular Tetris! Being able to win/lose would certainly be a nice next step. |
| Dec 18 00:44:42 | 7m 12s | EPIC Racing | ♥ 1 | Really fun game, just the perfect length for me. Audio was the standout here -- graphics are clean and easy to read, but the 3D projection made some of the controls a little weirder than I would have expected. Nicely done! |
| Dec 18 01:06:52 | 22m 10s | Wumbo No 5 | ♥ 0 | Fun, difficult, engaging, with just the right level of ramp up. Really solid execution! |
| Dec 18 01:13:20 | 6m 28s | Fungus Among Us | ♥ 1 | Graphics are nice and cute, I like the mushroom headbutt! Audio is the standout here, the music fits extremely well. Gameplay loses much of the decision-making when all you're doing is kiting the mushrooms. |
| Dec 18 03:54:14 | 2h 40m | Farming Sim LD40 | ♥ 1 | Interesting take on the theme! I liked that the prices would fluctuate a little bit over time. Presentation was nice and clear, but sometimes line heights would vary a little bit depending on what you were doing, throwing off the layout a little bit. Milking machine made for a good goal to aim for. |
| Dec 18 04:01:50 | 7m 36s | Disintegrate | ♥ 1 | Mood is captured excellently. I had the same issue as @patrick-d, unfortunately, so I couldn't get too far in this one. Still really enjoyed exploring around in the space! |
| Dec 18 04:14:49 | 12m 59s | Starbage Man | ♥ 1 | The voice acting/tutorial/story is very well done. Almost to a fault - I found that I preferred 'advancing the story' over the gameplay itself. I might have preferred more to do in navigating around the stars - without landmarks or anything else to occupy your attention, navigating was a little less interesting than it could have been. Really liked the nod to asteroids. Well done! |
| Dec 18 04:34:52 | 20m 03s | Shall they up? | ♥ 1 | A little more feedback on enemy damage would really help -- the first time I played, I couldn't tell if I was damaging the purple enemy. After that though, I thoroughly enjoyed playing this game. It's one of the most fun I've played this jam. The link between the weapon type and enemy behaviour was, in the end, distinct, but different enough to be interesting. Great game! |
| Dec 18 04:45:05 | 10m 13s | Ionising | ♥ 1 | I think you were able to hit the mood you were going for. I'd like to play a post-jam version with 'fixed' jumping, because it was very difficult to progress when a mis-jump is an insta-death. Nicely done! |
| Dec 18 05:00:19 | 15m 14s | Samurai Shaver | ♥ 0 | Excellent polish, lots of fun, presentation really ties everything together. Not much else to say, other than that I'd have liked a little more connection with the theme. |
| Dec 18 05:11:34 | 11m 15s | Contamination | ♥ 1 | The music really gets the tone and mood exactly right - really makes me feel like I'm in a Mad Max-esque wasteland fight. Enjoyed the game, but found that it would just spawn a lot of normal enemies, but give me no incentive to create/kill more -- getting additional metal just helps against extra enemies. Tutorial was nice and clear. Well done! |
| Dec 18 05:43:55 | 32m 21s | APOLLO v-1.0 | ♥ 0 | Presentation was simple, but very effective. Gameplay was fun but perhaps rewarded caution a little too much. Would have liked to get a little more feedback as to when you 'crash' or not. Very nicely done! |
| Dec 18 06:01:25 | 17m 30s | Eight More Drinks, Please | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed the concept. Graphics and audio were great, and really helped to set the ambiance of the bar. Found the game very difficult -- not just directionality but also when/how much effect I was having on each drink plate. Great take on the theme! |
