| Dec 4 23:57:15 | CHRISTMAS PRIME | ♥ 1 | Hi! I have a few suggestions for your game. First of all, the "speed up" process is very slow. I played 6 minutes and speedup was very small. Can't feel the hard part. But I am sure you can fix that. Secondly, the preview panel is not good at all. It always disappearing and you should rub the conveyor 😊. But the game has a Christmas atmosphere and some items are funny. Good work! | |
| Dec 5 00:12:41 | 15m 26s | Lightmare | ♥ 1 | Wow, the game is really melancholic. The idea is quite interesting and simple, so it could be the base for a big game. I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere, so good luck! Hope you'll continue developing your idea. |
| Dec 5 00:24:06 | 11m 25s | AdBlock Doesn't Work! | ♥ 1 | I really liked the YouTube player design. It is very stylish and clever decision for that type of game. But the first video with hardbass was way too long. It almost gave me a headache. |
| Dec 5 00:41:50 | 17m 44s | Towers for Nuclear | ♥ 2 | I am a big fan of tower defense games so I have some suggestions for your game. 1. Leveling up should show you stats increase. It's hard to determine which tower should be levelled up. 2. Wave count should have max waves. At first level it was unclear to me is it 10 waves or they are infinite and I should use the nuclear strike. 3. And, of course, speed up button. Why not? Good game, though. Small improvements and it will easy become better. |
| Dec 5 00:54:15 | 12m 25s | Captain Capsize | ♥ 0 | Amazing graphics. Looks very and very good for 72-hour jam. But why can we grab some items on board? It could be a bug, but they fall down through the ship. |
| Dec 5 01:14:16 | 20m 01s | Consecutive Meteor Crunches | ♥ 0 | Quite funny and simple game. I didn't get at the start that it's not the main menu, lol. Instant loose. 🙂 Camera movement and HUD transitions are very smooth. It helps not to get seasickness with so much camera rotations. But why OnePunchMan? If I remember correctly, he has no problems with crushing meteors. 🤔 |
| Dec 5 01:22:09 | 7m 53s | Rabbits Rains From Above | ♥ 2 | I thought these are cats! My life will never be the same now... Yeah, it's unclear what red and blue bunnies do. Maybe some hints in the menu or when the game actually starts? It will be nice. |
| Dec 5 01:37:05 | 14m 56s | Bee Holder | ♥ 1 | Nice game. Local multiplayer adds some clever elements to bee-evading. But the game really needs some sort of pause or main menu button. Plus it will be good to see not only normal bees, but the hornet himself! Like different type of enemies, you know. Hornet is very slow, but he could one-shot you. The name of the game looks like reference to Beholder, isn't it? |
| Dec 5 01:48:47 | 11m 42s | Shadow and Planet | ♥ 0 | Same for me, it doesn't work. Please, mention me when you fix the exe. Or tell us what to do. |
| Dec 5 01:57:48 | 9m 01s | Drgn | ♥ 1 | Wow, the dragon! 🐲 I am not sure if it should be grey... whatever. Nice graphics and gameplay, but I found minor issues. Our projectiles disappear very fast, maybe you should increase their lifespan? Controls are really simple, no way you can screw up with the input. Well done! Are you really worked alone? Quite nice assets and images. |
| Dec 5 02:07:57 | 10m 09s | More Money More Problems | ♥ 1 | Heh, hey, nice game. Very good idea, we have something similar. But I really didn't find any slowdowns of a huge bag. The safecracking is neat! Easy and cool. No overcomplicated mechanics. But why guards just take back our coins? Or they shoot us with taser? |
| Dec 5 02:22:43 | 14m 46s | Drunken Soviet | ♥ 0 | Can't pass through the first door. Tried to shoot green circle, to press "E", just to walk through it. Nothing helps. |
| Dec 5 02:30:43 | 8m 00s | Noisy Thief | ♥ 4 | It is very cool to see how people come with the same ideas but so diverse implementations! First of all, I should admit that you have no wall behind the gold goblet :D I fell down immediately. Secondly, enemies should have some indicators with their FOV, you know? It's quite hard to understand where they can see you. The idea with habilities is quite solid. Plus very simple and clean level design and UI. Good job. |
| Dec 5 02:54:40 | 23m 57s | Hotel Nero | ♥ 2 | Oh my god. Simple and very, very beautiful game. How did you manage to create so good looking game within 3 days? You have very good artists. What I can't find and will be very glad to see -- level picking. That would be nice. |
| Dec 5 13:43:47 | 10h 49m | The worse it is | ♥ 1 | Hard game. It has lots of potential, but the game has some minor flaws. First off all bullets are the way to random. It is hard to kill the enemies and not to lose some health. Tweak the spreading and it will be better. UI is good, but I think you should pick the difficulty instantly without pressing Enter. |
| Dec 5 14:04:15 | 20m 28s | Fallen Knight | ♥ 0 | I didn't get it. A few chests and nothing? Am I having bugs or the game has no gameplay at all? Jumping is very bad, honestly. And rotation pivot is broken. Audio is glitchy. I hope you guys can improve the game so it would be playable. Art-style was pretty, though. |
| Dec 5 14:15:18 | 11m 03s | The Semi-Realistic City Game | ♥ 0 | Amazing progress for weekend game jam. At first it looks complicated (because so much buttons and very big text tutorial), but immediately it become more intuitive. You could be in Compo, but as I understand, you've ran out of time, yeah? |
| Dec 5 14:30:46 | 15m 28s | Drugrun | ♥ 1 | It is a very trippy game, in a good way. I really love the art-style and general idea of using different drugs to get some powers. But, the controls seem to be very clunky. It's not easy to control your character. And where is the audio? |
| Dec 5 14:51:52 | 21m 06s | Warehouse Worker | ♥ 1 | Yeah, screen shaking is very annoying. And why doest it shake in main menu? The game is really tough. It is difficult not just because you running out of time, it is hard to notice all text for items and boxes. More indications, please! Graphics and sounds are neat. But you should tweak the gameplay. |
| Dec 5 15:03:37 | 11m 45s | Jade | ♥ 1 | Really depressing game. I love the background sound, what's the name of the song? A quite interesting idea, like Fez or Echochrome. Clean and neat. But atmosphere. I think with some tweaking it could be the game about the loneliness. Don't you think? Some metaphoric "mysterious place", dark and dangerous, where you are alone with the puzzles. And you have only yourself to reflect. But this place represents you head, your mind and your dreams and problems. Huh, I got carried away a little, sorry. |
| Dec 5 15:25:48 | 22m 11s | Horny Bunny | ♥ 6 | Nice art style, nice graphics. Funny idea and simple design. Good, but it's very vulgar, you know 😄 |
| Dec 5 15:29:53 | 4m 05s | Quantum's Rick | ♥ 4 | Cool art. But I didn't actually get the idea. What multiples the scene and what divides it? |
| Dec 5 15:35:09 | 5m 16s | Antibody | ♥ 1 | Yeah, colors are really aggressive. But the idea with 3 layers is nice. I don't know, why does my speed decreases significantly when I am close to the edge? It's hard to collect spheres if they are there. |
| Dec 5 15:49:37 | 14m 28s | Dish Rush | ♥ 3 | I like balancing plates, it's a really engaging mechanic. And yes, it becomes harder just with the right scale. But why one man uses 3 plates for MntDew and burgers? It will be good to stick to the "one man one plate" concept to strategically plan your route. Good luck! |
| Dec 5 15:55:29 | 5m 52s | Courier Springs | ♥ 3 | The very good progress you have. The game reminds me of old Driver games. Like, you should get as many cash as you can driving in a big city. Same is here. Few suggestions: car handling is quite hard, especially at a low speed. And I think you can make some indicators to the goal building, arrow above it or something similar. |
| Dec 5 16:00:26 | 4m 57s | El Centro Comercial with Sweatheart | ♥ 1 | I didn't find the end of the game. It became too hard to find boxes. But I have to admit the good graphics, mood and audio. I don't know about the controls, yes, they can give you seasickness, but it's just very subjective. I am ok with that. |
| Dec 5 16:25:40 | 25m 14s | Party Penguin | ♥ 1 | WOW! That game is amazing! The gameplay is very simple (but at the same time the game is really hard, especially at 3rd level) and interesting. Nice music, penguins and the dance floor! I can’t pass the 3rd level, it is really hard to concentrate on 8 keys at the same time. I am not a piano player. BUT you have a real potential. You know how many hardcore players out there who like OSU! or AudioSurf. My suggestions for future content: - Custom songs, so the players can use their music library to play levels - Some sort of leaderboards with song database - More social things like 2 players local coop, or maybe not local? Like, who will last longer? Good luck! I hope your game finds it’s destiny. |
| Dec 5 16:31:55 | 6m 15s | Things are getting worse | ♥ 0 | A little bit complicated game, but it’s not a bad sign! First of all, the graphics and sounds are good. For a 72 hour jam, it’s a big progress. Secondly, the idea of gods who hate you is fun, like they just trying to prevent you from winning. But maybe it will be good to give the player more control over the character? The faith picking is good, but you know, you can always adjust your fate a little bit… |
| Dec 5 16:39:14 | 7m 19s | Larry Kroft and the Temple of Booze | ♥ 1 | Funny game. Good concept with sort of logical puzzles. But I found a bug when you throw coins in opposite direction. It's quite hard to kill enemies. But it's just a minor bug and I am sure you'll fix that! |
| Dec 5 16:50:41 | 11m 27s | Clumsy Paws | ♥ 0 | As some people said, it will definitely be a nice mobile game! Very nice drawing, Sova, your art defines the overall game mood. But I found out that sometimes I can't catch the falling item even if I clicked on it. P.S. Сова, кстати, это интересное совпадение, но я тебя знаю. Я когда-то в старых 2014 был в Бате одним из редакторов, который выпускал Behind The Pixels. |
| Dec 5 17:05:47 | 15m 06s | Overcharged | ♥ 1 | Ok. There should be some sounds. It's a 3D shooter and the sound could be quite useful to hear the enemy. I liked the gameplay, it reminds me of old Quake-like shooters. But there are no indications that I've hit the enemy. That's making it not so immersive as it could be. But nice try. You know, I thought it was UE4, not Unity. I don't know why, maybe because of postprocessing. |
| Dec 5 17:11:45 | 5m 58s | Saving Mr. Mittens | ♥ 2 | Hey! Could you create Windows build? Not so many of us have LOVE installed. It will higher your chances of being rated. |
| Dec 5 17:23:49 | 12m 04s | Hungry Mok and the Amulet of Food | ♥ 4 | I like that kind of game where you should balance. But controls is quite hard at first time, as other people said. And I can't really understand where should I fly and what to do with bananas and black fruits. The music is good, funny and relaxing. |
| Dec 5 18:43:53 | 1h 20m | Radical Relocation | ♥ 2 | Beautiful graphics. Post processing made the mood: some noise shaders and DOF are cool. The game is hard, the best way is to move really really slow, but the sun tells you to go faster. Even alone you did a good job for 72-hour jam. Nice! |
| Dec 5 18:59:49 | 15m 56s | Western Hero | ♥ 3 | Find out that I played the game more than 15 minutes... Nice work, graphics and sounds really amazing (added asset forge tool to my list). But there is one minor problem: you are shooting not in exact pointer location, but it's a matter of habit. |
| Dec 5 19:06:47 | 6m 58s | Student Loan Simulator 2017 Ramen Edition | ♥ 1 | The loose is inevitable, like in real life. Cruel! I would like to see more gameplay features. And is the loan % completely random? If so, a high score is bound to your luck with %. |
| Dec 5 19:15:34 | 8m 47s | The Luckiest Businessman | ♥ 1 | It have a nice atmosphere of "luckiest businessman". There is no happiness, you are wandering from bar to casino, from work to IKEA and home(Some Fight Club desperation here). Pathetic life, I hope I got the right vibe 😄. Nice pixelart style, very clean and simple. Sounds are great too. But I would like to see more locations, like some beaches or something. I understand that you had no time for that type of things, just suggesting you the future work. Also it will be a good game for mobile devices. |
| Dec 5 19:23:54 | 8m 20s | Squares & Hexes | ♥ 0 | That was a hard but COOOL game. I like it, reminds me of Super Hexagon. I can't find any flaws except you should have the option to turn off screen shake. Very nice job! test.JPG |
| Dec 5 19:46:20 | 22m 26s | Mortal Komba | ♥ 1 | Artists did a good job! And difficulty is scaling very fast so you should be always concentrated. You deserve your good rankings. I like how you've created simple and fun game. |
| Dec 5 19:54:37 | 8m 17s | SUPER COP HERO | ♥ 0 | Wow! I played your Please, Don't Touch Anything! It was good and I am a really big fan of Blinch's soundtrack for PDTA. This game is awesome. IIRC you have 4 people in your team, and this is a huge work for 72-hour jam. Seriously, soundtrack, art, sounds. Да, ребят, удачи вам. |
| Dec 5 20:26:40 | 32m 03s | CATSPLOSION | ♥ 0 | Cute game. You can add WASD along with arrow keys, I think. |
| Dec 6 10:08:03 | 13h 41m | LOSKA | ♥ 1 | Clean and stylish game. I don't understand quite well how can I lose though. Can't feel the difficulty. Played 2 levels and just manually put people to desks. But overall quality is very nice. I love it! |
| Dec 6 10:26:10 | 18m 07s | ImpScape | ♥ 1 | Very nice and good-looking game. Sadly I can't find anybody online, but I've tried it solo and it is a solid game. Very good that you have minimum FOV and player won't be blind if he is so greedy. I really like the artstyle, it reminds me of STRAFE in some way. |
| Dec 6 11:08:02 | 41m 52s | Snaketris | ♥ 0 | Wow, the idea is awesome! Coop Tetris + Snake looks nice. It's a very fine concept to implement in online games, I think, with online coop it would be great! |
| Dec 6 11:44:39 | 36m 37s | ... | ♥ 0 | I think jumps should be higher a little bit. Or some gaps should be more narrow. Nice graphics. I am really impressed that you've made it using pure C. |
| Dec 6 12:00:13 | 15m 34s | Tap me, darling | ♥ 1 | Funny game, at first I was not sure about emoji, but it shows pretty well. |
| Dec 6 12:39:16 | 39m 03s | Althea and the Magical Fruit | ♥ 1 | Hey! Nice game you have, the first impression was like "wow, that's like the old Final Fantasy games", especially that bed trick (when you are standing in bed and it looks like you are actually sleeping). I love how every citizen of the little town has its own personality. And the ball! You can move it to peoples home, that was a surprise. So, I have some feedback ready. First of all, letter sound can be annoying after 15 minutes of play. I suggest you to lower it's volume a little bit. Secondly, I like the overall idea and I think that you can create a full version of that. Plus you know some famous games like Undertale which all have some similar aspects and they did well. I think you can work on the story to create a few hours adventure. Graphics are solid, I understand that it's hard to create something polished and for 72-hour work it's more than OK. The good part is that interactive objects easily distinguished from environment sprites. Good job, hope to see this game polished and ready to Steam. |
| Dec 6 12:53:49 | 14m 33s | Sailor Wolf | ♥ 2 | Why is the music so sad? But the game is good. I like the idea of constant steer control and rescuing cats. |
| Dec 6 13:15:32 | 21m 43s | Awfultown | ♥ 1 | Yeah, 10K points! Sometimes it is hard to pick the right building, maybe you need to add some highlighting for building? Because particle effects can't do it alone. |
| Dec 6 23:07:03 | 9h 51m | Ricochette | ♥ 1 | Really smart decision to put players in the situation where your bullets can be fatal for you. You can't spam with your bullets and you should think twice before the next shot. Nice job! And I forgot. Game's logo reminds me of Pepsi Cola 😌 |
| Dec 6 23:14:00 | 6m 57s | Techno Fever | ♥ 3 | Yeey! I am the new techno dance king! Yes, Queen can be defeated, didn't have any problems with difficulty. Very nice and fancy art. Gameplay a little bit easy for me, I can't find anything that can kill me (or make me loose), but I think you'll tweak that. Simple and cool game, maybe a little bit of game design will be nice. And more ideas! And it will be a great start as a standalone game. |
| Dec 6 23:21:37 | 7m 37s | Diving for Ludum | ♥ 0 | Yes, very nice graphics, but you should add some cute animations in future. In my opinion, speed scale a little bit high, don't you think? It feels that 3 gems shouldn't slow you down so much. Ok, so, about the gameplay: It is good, and the idea of this underwater thing (I don't know to call that) which pushes you up is very good, no need for boring and slow diving. I want to see some extra items and goals which will make diving more reasonable, you can do some brainstorm if you are interested in supporting the game. And I think that that gameplay is very good for mobile phones. Think about that as your main platform. Good luck, hope you'll find my feedback useful. |
| Dec 6 23:29:13 | 7m 36s | Crawl Control | ♥ 2 | Very timing-oriented game. Real "crowd control". And I like how your difficulty scales not just as you taking more people, but as you progressing through the game (new traps). Simple and nice pixelart is a plus. |
| Dec 6 23:51:20 | 22m 07s | Experience Points | ♥ 2 | Ok, as I see the project is unfinished, but it doesn't mean it is bad. The current problems, of course, are graphics and the UI. But I want you to make battle rate chance higher. I was wandering for about 1 minute before my first fight. I am not sure if you should use default random functions, it could be a pseudo-random function which makes the appearance rate higher each time you didn't find a monster. Or something like that. Here goes the next problem: I can't understand what is happening. You should add some info when you are using some items (net, for example). Like "you can't catch it", "you failed" and etc. You should definitely add some feeling of turn-based combat. Through the sounds or graphics, it doesn't matter. You should rework map and movement. Add diagonal movement or make a character not to stop when pressing two buttons but continue to go. I am really happy with your serious approach and different surveys, so I think that you want this game to be better, so I am telling you the truth. Ok, now here is some very **long term** goals and ideas for you. It's a reversed Pokemon game as you mentioned. Add some towns and quests. It will make all wandering meaningful. Add some real good element-based damage system, with all types of weaknesses and power. Do some game design research and find out what will make your game so special and which mechanics could attract the possible gamer. I hope you will improve your game quality and hope we will see you in the next Jam. |
| Dec 7 15:46:58 | 15h 55m | Sunburn | ♥ 0 | Graphics and music are pretty good, but the game needs more gameplay mechanics and definitely quicker regeneration time. |
| Dec 7 20:13:39 | 4h 26m | Powers | ♥ 1 | Hi! I found a bug: when you are trying to jump and hit the slime you will be launched right into the air. I like your pixel art, but the screen is very small, I think it's because of pixelart size. |
| Dec 8 09:06:41 | 12h 53m | Voxel Mob Arena | ♥ 2 | Nice top-down shooter with good graphics. But the resolution was broken for me (WebGL) and the start menu is quite confusing (There is a PAUSE button when the game is actually paused). |
| Dec 8 19:35:19 | 10h 28m | Headstuck | ♥ 0 | It really gives me some feelings that I've experienced long ago. Thank you for a good personal story and emotions the game gave me. I don't really want to find any cons. Thanks again. |
