| Dec 6 10:25:55 | Circus Tyke Balance Hype | ♥ 1 | The best thing about this game is the art style. I really liked it. The audio is also great and the noises that are made when the character is about to lose balance really helps to give feedback to the player. I also enjoyed the circus music. The game play was quite repetitive however, with the challenge being very simple and easy. I think the game could have benefited with some variation, like perhaps a sudden gust of wind blows into the tent and makes the player have to compensate to maintain balance or something. I also felt the intro was too long, and I always found myself skipping the dialogue. The game play was a bit tedious but it had great audio and visual design. Well done! | |
| Dec 6 10:52:24 | 26m 29s | Double-Edged Arena | ♥ 0 | I don't normally enjoy wave based games, but I found this one very fun! I liked the option to choose between two items at the end of each wave. Most of the time they would offer a stat increase but with a penalty like inverted movement (which I am terrible at, so I tried to avoid those items). The visuals were good and I really liked the music and sounds. There were a few things that bothered me: The inverse screen effect didn't seem to do anything. The list details of each item were hard to read sometimes as some of the statistics overflowed to the next line. I'd much prefer the game putting me back to the main menu when I died rather than quitting the game entirely, as I wanted to play again quickly! Overall though I really enjoyed this game, the controls felt great and the game ran smoothly. Good entry! |
| Dec 6 10:59:43 | 7m 19s | KITTEN SITTER | ♥ 1 | Interesting game. I liked the concept of managing loads of kittens, and it getting more stressful as it progresses. The music was nice and I liked the visuals. Unfortunately there seems to be a bug where a hungry kitten cannot be picked up. This is rather annoying because if they become hungry, there is nothing I can do and it's game over. The game play was simple which is fine, but it did get tedious over time. Overall though it is an OK game. Nice entry! |
| Dec 6 11:09:21 | 9m 38s | Fan Favourite | ♥ 1 | I started the game on expert difficulty, which was a mistake. I found the game very challenging, even on the easier modes. I feel the precision required to hit a note is too high, but maybe I'm just terrible at playing it. I liked the idea of having to keep an eye on the rhythm of the music but also watching the fans as well. I enjoyed the visuals too. I finished the song on the easiest mode, but the fans just seemed to keep coming onto the stage. There seemed to be no end to it. Overall, a fun game but very hard. Good entry. |
| Dec 6 11:39:51 | 30m 30s | Greed Weighs you Down | ♥ 0 | This was a good concept, and I did enjoy trying to sneak past the police. I had spent ages walking really slowly with about 10 bags of cash, and then the music changed and I realised the police had spotted me and they managed to catch me. That was frustrating but it's part of the game, which is why I enjoy it. It is great when you manage to get back without being caught. I felt the music got annoying, and I would have liked a way to return to the menu once a game had ended instead of being forced to quit. Overall a fun game though, that fits the theme well! |
| Dec 8 10:36:23 | 46h 56m | Pirate Cat | ♥ 1 | I managed to reach the ocean, but dropped most of my money in the process. I really liked the concept of the game. I found it rather hard to avoid the cats however, because they seemed to attach to the balloon even if they didn't collide with it. I only managed to reach the ocean once, after that I tried to do it without losing much money, but found that almost impossible. Overall it was a fun game to begin with, but it got a bit tedious after a few attempts, but I enjoyed it. Good entry. |
| Dec 8 10:58:34 | 22m 11s | Factory Panic | ♥ 1 | I found this game fun, but very challenging. I was terrible at managing my resources correctly and found it very overwhelming, but that's why I like the game. I like the points system too, as it gives a reason to choose between highest earning ores, or the ore which is overflowing. Overall, a fun game. Good entry! |
| Dec 8 11:36:48 | 38m 14s | Dead End Office | ♥ 0 | When I played at first, I thought the game would get repetitive, as I'd be just completing the same objective in the same room over and over again. But the upgrade system made the game fun. I managed to buy the supercomputer, and had fun along the way. I experienced a bit of performance issues once I had maxed out the money making machine. I didn't feel the workers were helping me much as I didn't see much of a boost in income when I had them. Overall a fun game. Good entry! |
| Dec 8 12:07:02 | 30m 14s | Mizu | ♥ 1 | The look of the game was great, I enjoyed the music too. The game was fun to play. The water filling mechanic was great and the different puzzles were interesting. I wasn't very good at some of the puzzles, but I don't think that's the games fault, it's just my lack of skill. Having to start the whole game again when out of lives was a bit annoying as I wanted to see new levels but the only way to do that was to repeat levels I already did. The game is good overall though. Good entry! |
| Dec 13 11:11:24 | 119h 04m | Scotticus' Crypt | ♥ 0 | I enjoyed the game and would have liked more levels because it would have been fun. The level art was good, the character art was good, but putting them together didn't seem right in my opinion. I liked the concept of the keys having a negative effect on the player. I would have preferred some UI to show which keys I had picked up and what effect they had on me, as I forgot the effects by the time I reached level 2. I found it hard to tell whether the spikes on the ground were raised or lowered, because they have a similar colour to the floor. I eventually managed to work it out, but making them stand out would be a good improvement. I found the game fun overall, and it fit the theme well. Good game! |
| Dec 13 11:26:53 | 15m 29s | Midori has a cold! | ♥ 0 | This was a fun game and I enjoyed playing it. I managed to reach "The first challenge" level and gave up because I found it too difficult, but there is nothing wrong with a difficult game. I liked the new items that were introduced as the game progressed, although I didn't know what some of them were. The visuals, music and sound were great, and the game mechanics were easy to understand because of the helpful tutorial at the start. Great entry! |
| Dec 13 11:48:33 | 21m 40s | Fuga | ♥ 0 | I enjoy the bullet mechanics in this game, and the idea that the more loot you have, the harder the enemies are to defeat. The visuals were great too, especially the ship at the beginning. The game play itself was a bit easy however, since one could just spam the bullets and defeat all three enemies easily. I went back to the ship to see what I could buy with the loot, but I didn't understand what the "duration" bar was. I also noticed that the player can repeatedly go back and forth between room 1 and room 2 and rack up a lot of loot, without having to venture deeper into the cave. I don't think this was intentional, but if it was, I'm not keen on it. More varied enemy types and levels would make this game more fun, but obviously you wouldn't have time to do that over one weekend. Overall this is a good game with interesting mechanics, but I am struggling to see what the point of going back to the ship with the loot is. Good entry! |
| Dec 13 12:01:43 | 13m 10s | Alien Overflow | ♥ 2 | This is a decent game, with easy to understand mechanics. I liked the art style especially on the aliens. It was hard to tell which objects the player could stand on, as I thought they were just part of the background. I also think an indication as to when the player or aliens took damage would have helped with knowing whether I was doing something right. The first few seconds of the game were manageable, but when it got up to around 1700 on the timer, it got much harder. I like this and it fits the theme well, but I think the aliens were too big, and it was just luck if you managed to make it that far and not have a massive alien spawn on to you directly. I did finish it once, by spamming the left mouse button and hoping for the best. Good entry! |
| Dec 13 12:13:41 | 11m 58s | Present Panic | ♥ 1 | This was a fun game. I liked the Christmas theme and I felt the visuals and sounds all fit in very well. The game play was fun and challenging. I found it funny when I'd try to knock a present into the red bucket, but I'd do it slightly too late and so it would bounce and land on the edge of the green bucket. Then, for every green present, I'd have to time it perfectly so I could knock the present in, without hitting the red present in as well. The game matched the theme of the jam well. I could not beat the regular mode though as I am too bad at the game. Good entry! |
| Dec 13 12:36:21 | 22m 40s | Games: Behind The Scenes | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is a very unique game, and I found it enjoyable. The visuals are great as is the audio. The idea of the game is good too, and I found the game play mechanics were rather fun. There was a lot more to this game than I was expecting. It took my a while to understand what I had to do, and I'm not sure I understand it completely now. A tutorial would be very helpful. I managed to gain 6 players, I don't think it's a good score, but I had fun along the way. After a while, walking between the rooms got a little tedious, but overall this was a great entry! |
| Dec 21 10:19:48 | 189h 43m | Oversize Load | ♥ 0 | Great game. It was really fun trying to balance the boxes. Having a variety in the size and shapes of the cargo helped make the gameplay more interesting. I liked the different levels, and could definitely see more being added, like extra levels, longer truck, new types of cargo etc. The music was nice and the visuals were simple but fine. Great entry! |
| Dec 21 10:29:33 | 9m 45s | Snake Keeper | ♥ 0 | Fun game, managed to win on my first try. The game seems rather simple, just move around the enclosure, clicking repair when you see a crack on the glass, and upgrade when there are a lot of snakes in one area. Seemed easy to maintain and was lacking in variety, but I like the idea. Having different types of snakes that do more damage, or have different types of upgrades would make the game more challenging and require a bit more strategy to win it. Overall it's a decent entry! |
| Dec 21 10:58:39 | 29m 06s | Bus Mayhem | ♥ 1 | A fun game. I loved the way the bus became harder to control as the number of passengers grew. I did manage to reach the end of the level on my first try, so I would have liked to have seen more passengers piling up in there! I was expecting more levels and was disappointed when the game ended because I had a lot of fun. The music was great, the visuals were nice and the game play was fun. My only issue was that the other cars would bump into me when I was loading passengers, which didn't feel fair to me. Overall, a fun game with great potential! |
| Dec 21 11:07:44 | 9m 05s | Brick Racer | ♥ 1 | This game is very fun, I found myself replaying to try and place on the scoreboard. The more health you have, the slower you are mechanic was very interesting and made this a very unique game. I found the balance of health vs speed very hard to get right, but I still tried over and over again because I was having a lot of fun. With some improved graphics and music, this could be a great game. Good job! |
