| Dec 9 04:55:57 | The explorer | ♥ 1 | The clicking gameplay is not a bad idea but there is no way to know where you're going to land and no way to correct your trajectory, so it gets really frustrating. The generated levels are a nice touch (though this doesn't make your game a roguelike, see [this](https://bp.io/howroguelike/) :) | |
| Dec 9 05:23:53 | 27m 56s | A simple man | ♥ 1 | The world is so big, it got boring after some time to walk back and forth. Nice game though, I really liked the leaf physics! |
| Dec 9 05:40:41 | 16m 48s | Rocket Boom | ♥ 1 | I like the idea, the rocket movement is interesting and fits the theme. Maybe the levels could have used the controlling multiple rockets at once gameplay a bit more. It's also quite frustrating to restart the whole game when you lose a level. |
| Dec 9 06:00:03 | 19m 22s | Droplet | ♥ 0 | Not the most innovating game I've played, but really relaxing and it kept me playing for a while. As the circles get bigger, it gets harder to tell if the ones you want to eat are actually smaller or bigger than yours (and that's a good thing). I think the left/right click is a bit confusing because you tend to forget which click corresponds to which color. I would have just inverted the color when the player clicks. Good job on your first entry! |
| Dec 9 06:25:39 | 25m 36s | All Followers Lost | ♥ 1 | This is sooo fun to play! You always need to move to get your own followers out of the way, and this turns a simple arena shooter into a very dynamic game. The voice samples are funny, too bad there is no music! |
| Dec 9 07:50:41 | 1h 25m | Sky-Corsair | ♥ 1 | The ship controls fine, though the camera is too static, it feels like you are moving the world around rather than moving the ship. The goal of the game could be a bit clearer, I had the choice between gathering water or shooting pirates, so I did the latter because it was way more fun. Overall it's a great game, I hope you continue working on this! :) |
| Dec 9 13:46:00 | 5h 55m | Jonathan The Sorcerer | ♥ 1 | Impressive level design! It took me ~1 hour to get to the last level, and I still can't beat it. I also had trouble figuring out what to do because the holes and the stones looked so similar. |
| Dec 10 06:06:48 | 16h 20m | Breakpoint | ♥ 1 | It was a bit confusing at first, but then I realised you could turn the camera around and I understood why I kept falling. The controls were a bit frustrating considering the kind of platforming challenges the game gives you. This was still an enjoyable experience, the game looks really good, and the audio is nice too! |
| Dec 10 06:52:10 | 45m 22s | GooBall | ♥ 1 | Interesting take on the theme, I played it for a couple of iterations but I wasn't close to saving all the goo. It's hard to tell if it's better to use the 3rd form or to save the goo as soon as you get some. My strategy was to use it only to go to the last level that gives more goo (I think), then forget about it for the rest of the game. The game could benefit giving the player more feedback (What are the pink walls? Why would I want to change levels? Why can't I stop the charcter?). Of course these questions are answered on the game page, but it would feel more natural to explain that in game. Congrats on your first compo :) |
| Dec 10 07:36:36 | 44m 26s | Alchegator | ♥ 0 | Interesting game, kept me playing until the end but I had to use the guide to understand how to combine items without crushing them. Apart from some minor collision bugs, pushing/holding/throwing items felt very natural. The graphics are pretty and the audio is great. My only issue with the game is that I never felt like I had too many items, I think the room could have been a bit smaller to counter this. Solid entry, I enjoyed it a lot! |
| Dec 10 09:12:12 | 1h 35m | Hungry Dino | ♥ 1 | Cute game! I needed more challenge so I made [my own level](https://pastebin.com/raw/SRPNddKs). It's quite hard, tell me if you can beat it! :) |
| Dec 10 09:59:10 | 46m 58s | Snowmans Dilemma | ♥ 0 | I like the idea! I think the game would benefit having smaller levels and a snowman that melts faster, that way you would have to plan your moves more carefully. Some of the levels were so big I had to kill some snowmen in order to locate the level and door. Anyway, good job on your game :) |
| Dec 10 10:16:35 | 17m 25s | Theme - The Game | ♥ 1 | The beginning made me laugh (especially the sounds), then I was a bit confused during the shmup part. The collisions are a bit weird, I have no idea if you can destroy the theme at the top and what to do next. 5/5 Theme :D |
| Dec 10 10:40:10 | 23m 35s | Super Goop! | ♥ 1 | The camera is a bit frustrating. When I'm climbing platforms, I'd prefer it centered on the character in order to see what is below. It's even more frustating when you have to jump but you can't see where the next platform is, like in the last two levels. I like your use of the theme, and the graphics are nice. Good job on your game! |
| Dec 10 11:13:06 | 32m 56s | Toxic Towers | ♥ 2 | This is a very challenging platformer game, the theme is well integrated. I like how you don't die if you hit the toxic gas, but it gets worse. The level design seemed a bit too random, maybe it was meant to show a destroyed world, but it's hard to tell with only one kind of tile. Nice game, I enjoyed it :) |
| Dec 10 11:38:51 | 25m 45s | Speedy GOO-zales 3D | ♥ 0 | That's a fun game, it's so upsetting to see your dinner outrun you AND take all the speed-ups! |
| Dec 10 12:00:01 | 21m 10s | Cardhoard | ♥ 1 | One of the best entries I've played so far, this is so addictive! I don't have much else to say, this is a really polished arcade game, you did a fantastic job! |
| Dec 10 16:55:17 | 4h 55m | Pixel Cartel | ♥ 1 | I like this kind of game, it was simple but still enjoyable. The wall collisions were a bit sticky, and it made the indoor fights frustrating at times. I liked the music and the overall atmosphere. Good job on your game! |
| Dec 10 17:26:07 | 30m 50s | The Quiet Mind | ♥ 2 | Perfect controls and player movement for a platformer, some parts were hard but I never felt cheated. Just a small detail but I missed some text, especially at the end, because I thought pressing E would make it go faster. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the pretty pixel art. Congrats on your game! |
| Dec 11 05:07:14 | 11h 41m | Ominos | ♥ 1 | It's quite challenging, I like the unusual pieces. It would be nice to show the next shapes, that would make the game more interesting. Good job on your entry! |
| Dec 11 05:27:44 | 20m 30s | you are the coin master | ♥ 0 | The glitch effect is interesting, and I'm impressed that you made the whole game in only 3h. I found the controls a bit frustrating but that was still an enjoyable experience. Nice work! |
| Dec 11 05:54:43 | 26m 59s | The Speed of Greed | ♥ 0 | I like the idea, and the fact that you have to go the long and hard way to avoid most of the coins to prepare for the second level. I hope you practice your drawing/animation skills for the next jam to make your game more appealing! |
