| Dec 6 04:39:26 | Cohesion | ♥ 0 | This seems like a lot of fun, but it isn't working for me on HTML5, I'm just seeing a grey screen with music playing in the background. I'm using Chrome on MacOS. | |
| Dec 6 04:54:30 | 15m 04s | Keyboard Cats | ♥ 1 | This was really funny for the first few minutes, but I got kind of bored at around 1300 characters because I wasn't sure how long it would go and there wasn't much change in gameplay. I'd have two potential suggestions: - Either make the game shorter, or put in more variation to keep the player entertained (e.g. introduce different types of cats that need to be petted in different ways, or different tasks to type the essay). - Make it possible to lose. Right now, it seems like you beat the game without petting the cats, so there's not much motivation to actually pet them. With a few changes, I can imagine this being a really fun hectic game where you have to multitask between lots of cats. I really liked the cat sprites and sound effects, and the polish was also quite good (like the hearts that appear on the cats), but I would have liked a little more variation in gameplay. Overall, nice work! |
| Dec 14 07:10:04 | 194h 15m | Herding Cats: The 400th South Winchester Jr. Semi-Finals with Fiona Pennywhistle | ♥ 1 | This game was extremely funny. I loved all of the effort you put into the voices: at first I felt like I would quickly get bored of the commentary during the puzzles, but there were so many unique and funny lines that it was entertaining the whole way through. Also, the scoreboard narration was excellently-written. Sometimes I feel like games can try "too hard" to be funny and end up just cringeworthy, but the humor here avoided that and was well-done. The funniest part for me might have been when the 10th place person was listed as "deceased", it was just so absurd that I couldn't help but break down in laughter. The puzzles themselves had a cool mechanic, but I feel like you could have done a lot more with it. There were a few interesting levels (like the one with 4 cats in each of 3 corners and each corner having a different color of cat), but most of the puzzles got pretty repetitive after getting the hang of the rules. However, I will say that I never got bored and played through to the end, probably because you only had two levels in between scoreboard commentaries. One small suggestion: I agree with @draperdanman that some indication of which color corresponded to which directions would have been nice. Even by the end of the game I was screwing it up. Overall, this was a lot of fun to play, even though the puzzles themselves were kind of unremarkable. The graphics and audio were very polished, and I never would have guessed that this is your first game jam. Great job! |
