| Dec 4 15:22:09 | COIN MANIA | ♥ 3 | Overall, an alright game and a good starting point. I liked the mechanics of both wanting/being wary of coins, and the level design worked to back that up, playing like a puzzle platformer. The graphics while simple worked well at getting across what was going on, with the player inflation upon collecting more & more coins being better than just a simple UI counter. A few more gameplay elements (stuff like switches or doors you have to pay money into to activate) would've been nice. It seems you didn't have much time though, no worries about that! Music was a bit erratic but was ok. Good job! | |
| Dec 4 17:11:32 | 1h 49m | Thief | ♥ 1 | Nice game that fits the theme well. Simple to start but gets harder as time goes on. Did get caught out by the guards a few times from them suddenly turning around. In later playthroughs I was extra careful not to even get near them but that meant waiting a lot as time goes on. Treasure would spawn on me from time to time as well. Overall though I had a lot of fun with this entry, good job! |
| Dec 4 17:25:14 | 13m 42s | Fatigue Blade | ♥ 1 | A fun game that fills the theme very well! Great job for a first submission. Collisions felt a little off in places (pickups especially) and it was hard to tell if I was actually hitting anything. That said as soon as I powered up the combat felt much nicer and fluid. Exploring was fun. Graphics were a little weak in places (could see the bar hidden underneath the health and stamina), but these are little irks. Overall a good job! |
| Dec 4 17:39:54 | 14m 40s | Retro Rocket Run! | ♥ 1 | Fun game and I like the idea of a dodge game where all the walls are made of pickups. Had fps problems but it didn't really effect my ability to control the ship. Liked the music, although it did repeat a little too much. It was really enjoyable to play though, getting multiple pickups at once was panic inducing. Once you get inverse controls it just snowballs out of control! Good job. My best score was 53828. |
| Dec 4 18:03:40 | 23m 46s | The Adventures of Marty Graw | ♥ 1 | A very fun game and good homage! The game was simple to play, ran smoothly & looks very nice. Music was great, sound effects were good and features like the chest outline when able to interact & marty holding gold after a 5 pickups added a lot. Good job! |
| Dec 4 18:21:00 | 17m 20s | Pandas Picnic | ♥ 1 | Loved the game idea, feeding a whole buncha animals at a picnic feels like part of some whimsical fairy-tale. Gameplay was good albeit a bit buggy. I was matching plates (even their favourites) but some of them just kept getting hungrier! Another thing I noticed is that I could grab a plate and move it around the whole game area to shift any other plates to where I wanted them. Don't know if that's a bug an inbuilt way of easily getting massive chains though. Music was very nice & fitting, although it didn't loop. Graphics were great. Overall though I had a lot of fun with the game. Good job! |
| Dec 4 18:35:39 | 14m 39s | Just one more level | ♥ 1 | A good entry that I had a lot of fun with. Graphics are nice, gameplay is good. It feels a little awkward on keyboard though it's great on a controller! I liked the random gen of rooms, bats and loot too. The game was a little difficult, even so I had a lot of fun. Audio work was great. Good job! |
| Dec 4 18:50:32 | 14m 53s | Elf Fortress | ♥ 0 | Finally! Dwarf fortress I can actually understand! But really, this game is a great entry and was very fun to play. Not much more to say, really solid game. Good job! |
| Dec 4 19:00:26 | 9m 54s | Blob Hell | ♥ 2 | Fits the theme well and is a good game all around. Liked the addition of difficulty and graphics settings. The bullets are little hard to see though and a little too fast. Would've liked to be able to restart after playing a round rather than have to refresh or upload a score but an upload for a scoreboard is a great feature. |
| Dec 4 19:18:53 | 18m 27s | A Growing Problem | ♥ 0 | The core idea is good and the story is a neat idea but the intro sequence takes too long. The game itself is alright but the momentum feels iffy and jumping is really unresponsive for me. The lack of graphics doesn't bother me too much though. The first level is too much to start (especially the long upwards section after the first pit) but after a while you get used to the game. Overall though, a really good job for your first compo! Spending the extra day to polish out the game and enter the jam however would've probably helped a lot with these issues. |
| Dec 4 19:30:18 | 11m 25s | Quibbles | ♥ 1 | The physics of the game are great, being pushed around by an amorphous blob on tiny spheres was maddening! I really enjoyed playing it, and while the graphics are limited they're not painful to look at. I would love to see this game expanded, with more levels, audio and some graphics. Good job! |
| Dec 4 19:45:29 | 15m 11s | Rich in Space | ♥ 0 | Intro is a bit long but the game after it. Damn! I had a lot of fun playing, slowly building up my base with its turret perimeter before watching it get blown apart. I'd love to see you continue work on this adding features like: building multiple objects without having to re-click UI, hotkeys, better music (although I didn't mind it that much & the slower version on game over was neat) and highlights when building to see if an object is within range (rather than just clicking like a madman). Loved this entry, keep it up! |
| Dec 4 20:31:17 | 45m 48s | Money Is Everything | ♥ 0 | The graphics are amazing! The single button control scheme was really cool. The game getting harder as I collected coins was great. Would've loved some music/sfx with it, but time restraints. Overall it's a really addictive and fun game to play! |
| Dec 4 20:40:19 | 9m 02s | Snake++ | ♥ 0 | Cool take on snake! Music was a little abrasive to listen too but still good. Loved the way it looked though. |
| Dec 4 20:46:45 | 6m 26s | Heavy Hearts | ♥ 1 | Those voices were brilliant! Enjoyed the gameplay, game fits the theme well with your flying capability getting worse as you collect pickups. The music's alright but the graphics are great! |
| Dec 4 20:54:53 | 8m 08s | Interview at Cacophony | ♥ 3 | Really fun game with a great concept. It's funny and gets quite challenging as more instruments are added in. The game looks nice too. Good job! |
| Dec 5 00:06:19 | 3h 11m | Reaper Boy LD40 Edition | ♥ 0 | I had such a fun time with this game! I loved the mechanic of loop around the edges of the level and falling far onto an enemies head was very satisfying. The art style was great, as was the music, and it all fit together well. Good job! |
| Dec 5 00:07:06 | 47s | Boiler Room Defense | ♥ 0 | A really fun game with a cool mechanic that really rewards accuracy. I found myself avoiding pickups as much as possible as most would make my situation worse! The musics fits the game well, the graphics are fantastic. The feeling of escalation was really well done as well. |
| Dec 5 23:35:32 | 23h 28m | Cool Hat Mr. Hat | ♥ 0 | Very fun game, albeit lacking in some sort of distinct progression. While enemies do seem to get faster as time goes on without a timer or coin goal the game feels a bit lacking. That said the controls are spot on, the graphics are great and the sounds effects are very good. What amount of game that is here is wonderful. |
| Dec 5 23:46:52 | 11m 20s | Midori has a cold! | ♥ 1 | A very fun game with a really cool idea behind it! Loved the funky music & the great art style. I found the gameplay a little awkward in places (things like only being able to rotate once placed) but it never became such an issue that I wasn't having fun. As a whole I really like this entry and would love to see it continued on! |
| Dec 5 23:59:48 | 12m 56s | The Pointy Stick Hypothesis | ♥ 0 | The audio & graphics were very nice, and the dialog was hilarious at parts. It did feel a little long winded in places but I still really enjoyed it. The idea fitted the theme well and was, overall a really good game. |
| Dec 6 00:19:20 | 19m 32s | Tetripitalism | ♥ 1 | A fun variant of Tetris that follows the theme pretty well. Found myself playing it a lot longer than I thought (though to be fair it is basically Tetris). The idea of moving costing meant early game involved a lot more planning though once I had a stockpile of cash the game just became normal Tetris with the occasional sell block being used. Music was great though, very good job with that. |
| Dec 6 00:35:11 | 15m 51s | Cursed | ♥ 3 | Beautiful game with really nice music and sfx. Had a lot of fun playing once used to the movement & wall jumping. Really good game! |
| Dec 6 01:38:13 | 1h 03m | Crosstalk | ♥ 1 | Fun to mess around with, but not much more. Would like to see what could be done with this though as it's a very interesting concept! |
| Dec 6 01:48:13 | 10m 00s | Tiny Empires | ♥ 1 | I had a lot of fun playing this game. Found an issue with moving troops around causing turns to advance & the game got a little easy at one point as I was far too rich. The game looks quite nice though, and the sfx is good. |
| Dec 6 02:05:47 | 17m 34s | OverPowered! | ♥ 0 | I was always torn between wanting more power and not wanting to get myself killed. Pretty difficult, but very, very fun. Music and sfx were alright. Some graphics work would really boost this game up a lot. Good job though, a very good entry! |
| Dec 6 15:48:08 | 13h 42m | Drink For Money | ♥ 0 | A really fun idea that you turned into a really fun game! Good job with the art & audio especially. Gameplay was great fun & a little panic inducing at times. Overall, a great game! |
| Dec 6 16:46:01 | 57m 53s | Sum of Its Parts | ♥ 1 | I like the concept of the game & it plays alright but is buggy in a few places (not gonna list 'em other users already have!) Music was really good though, fitted the game well and the game fitted the theme well too. Having the ship actually build up as I collected parts was neat too, rather than just background stat improvements. Good job! |
| Dec 6 16:59:56 | 13m 55s | Majestyland | ♥ 1 | The game looks very nice and has a great sense of humour (love the dwarf voices). The controls are alright, it's a little hard to get the dwarves to attack my target and in a large group some are always getting caught on things. If I send them in small groups though they tend to get killed before reaching the enemy. The game looks great though and as a whole is fun to play, just a little finicky. |
| Dec 7 01:46:38 | 8h 46m | Dish Stack King | ♥ 0 | I loved the idea of being what appears to be a heavily armoured busboy (well animated) delivering ridiculous stacks of plates. The game was fun to play, though I found the game a little easy once I started clicking as far in the distance as possible (at the start at least). The music was really good as well. Good job! |
| Dec 16 23:35:05 | 237h 48m | The Burger Joint | ♥ 1 | The idea is really cool & the effects/graphics are good. The game felt a little too awkward, moving even a small amount would shift the burger hard, but so much momentum is required to get up the stairs, and with the plate only being able to orbit it was very hard to counter that and the burger would fly. Also with orbiting plate not being able to reach the floor easily (though in a perfect world the burger wouldn't hit the floor!) The music is cool though and as a whole I had fun with the game. |
| Dec 16 23:44:26 | 9m 21s | Cotton Mayhem | ♥ 2 | Very fun game that only heightens my hate of sheep. The game looked great, controlled fine and the audio was very good. Really liked how the sheep would turn immediately upon being selected. |
| Dec 16 23:49:40 | 5m 14s | The Weissman Challenge | ♥ 0 | A really good take on typing games, surprised I haven't seen it before! Loved the SV theme link and the music was cool. Being able to type out of order was cool too. Would love to see more of this under an original setting. |
| Dec 16 23:55:53 | 6m 13s | Ricochette | ♥ 1 | This game is a really good example of simple design executed very well. The game plays great & is very fun. It is a little too simple graphically and the gameplay does become lacking after multiple plays, but it is still a very enjoyable game to play. Reminds me of some old online flash games I used to play in school! |
| Dec 17 00:23:53 | 28m 00s | Mayfly | ♥ 1 | I really liked the interesting & dark story you've written here. The audio cues and effects were great too, and the graphics although simple, worked really well; the shaky text and flashing colours conveyed a lot. Great work! |
| Dec 17 00:29:59 | 6m 06s | Jazzy Beats | ♥ 3 | A very polished entry! I found the game fun to play, though the swarming enemies would sometimes stun-lock me. The audio was fantastic and the graphics/UI were very well done. The idea of a beat-em-up where you convert enemies is a really cool idea too. |
| Dec 17 00:53:17 | 23m 18s | The Legend of the Bikini Armor | ♥ 1 | The art, especially animations, were very well done. The game felt a bit clunky though & combat was really hard. As for the story (based on the occasional comment being upset about the games story) it's your choice to make whatever game you want, and looking back at your past entries it's not like you have a history of insulting specific groups of people. With that stated it had a good sense of humour, all the way down the conveyor belt of armour the smith'd keep giving you. I really liked this entry and would totally love to see it worked on further! |
| Dec 17 00:59:16 | 5m 59s | The 800 Page Hedgehog and Bunny Epic | ♥ 0 | A very pretty game with a great idea behind it. I loved the sounds and the gameplay, while simple, was very interesting and the game itself worked beautifully. But those hedgehogs, damn; they're gonna give me nightmares. |
| Dec 17 01:04:09 | 4m 53s | HUDdled | ♥ 1 | Really liked the way the game ramps up over time. The graphics and audio were really good too. Solid entry & a very fun game. |
| Dec 25 13:19:51 | 204h 15m | Samurai Shaver | ♥ 1 | A really well polished quality game. The humour is on point and the game itself plays wonderfully (it's simple in that warioware way). The music is really cool too, seriously good job! |
| Dec 25 13:27:42 | 7m 51s | Goodnight Sheep | ♥ 2 | A really nice game, taking counting sheep but combining it with the CONSTANT BARRAGE OF INTRUSIVE THINKING that comes with trying to sleep was a really good idea. The game was a bit simple (is it possible to lose?) not that, that matters. The music was pleasant and the look of the game was great! |
