| Dec 8 21:12:15 | Birden | ♥ 0 | Excellent! Great use of the theme. Art is cute and level design is great and varied. Only thing keeping it from a 5 is the lack of sound. | |
| Dec 8 21:35:30 | 23m 15s | Life's A Glitch | ♥ 1 | Simple arcade-y fun. The visuals are really cool and fitting and the sound too. I kinda wish jumping down was (down + jump) instead of just holding down as it caused me to accidentally jump to my death a few times when I just wanted to aim down. Might just be a preference thing. |
| Dec 8 22:28:58 | 53m 28s | Mallio Cart | ♥ 1 | This game made me annoyed and frustrated.. which was the point of course. I got close so many times just for something to go wrong. Still, I couldn't put it down until I beat it. Looks and sounds good. Great use of the theme and quite fitting with the season :). |
| Dec 8 23:11:03 | 42m 05s | DO NOT FEED | ♥ 1 | Good job! Even if you didn't finish you always learn something. I like the look of the birds and the way they move feels pretty natural. The dog is also strangely adorable even if the art is simple. For some reason I felt kinda zen playing it :). |
| Dec 9 02:01:58 | 2h 50m | Tycoon of the HighSeas | ♥ 1 | Good job finishing your first game jam! Graphics and sound sets a good mood, I like the touch of the fishes, sharks and occasional rain. The biggest problem is the gameplay as there's really no challenge, no stakes and hardly anything to manage. Most of the time is just spent passively waiting which isn't really fun. I'm sure you had more things planned and the game can probably be expanded with more time. Making a game in just a few days isn't easy but I hope you'll continue participating and improving :). |
| Dec 9 02:45:32 | 43m 34s | Cyberpunk Nerd Move | ♥ 1 | Haha, really nice idea and cool use of the theme. I would feel worse throwing away some stuff if I didn't have 5 backup ones though :P. I know it's unfinished and yeah, it needs something more but I do like the core concept of making snap decisions, judging one value against another. |
| Dec 9 03:26:10 | 40m 38s | Burn Bunny (in space) | ♥ 1 | Great entry! Very polished and the gameplay loop is simple to understand but with enough things to manage to keep you engaged (although the difficulty might ramp up a bit too fast). Nice job, Mamazon! |
| Dec 9 03:48:58 | 22m 48s | Sushi Factory Frenzy! | ♥ 1 | Nice and fun entry! Managing orders really fits the theme. My biggest struggle was also waiting for white pieces but I guess it adds to the challenge when all the other pieces start piling up because of it. |
| Dec 9 04:23:31 | 34m 33s | Corruption | ♥ 0 | That was really fun! The powers feel great you made the metroidvania-style go well with the theme. I also like the level design and the amount of content makes the game feel really complete. Great entry! |
| Dec 9 05:01:44 | 38m 13s | Soul Matter | ♥ 1 | Cool little adventure! I actually did 3 runs to check the differences and I kinda wish there was a bit more to it. Still, I do like that there are more than one solution to things. Graphics work well and that music had a nice little bassline going on. |
| Dec 9 06:22:34 | 1h 20m | The Dark Castle | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I made an interactive story-game for my entry too although this one is a lot more interactive. I got three endings but it's cool that there are a whole 18. The different negative stats are an interesting take on the theme and I like how they effect what kind of choices you have available. Art and sound really set the mood. |
| Dec 9 17:35:17 | 11h 12m | Home Raider | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! > did the levels work for you? Sure! The only thing that I felt took away from the game is that you can farm an easy part of a house over and over. I would prefer the challenge to be to clear an entire house before moving on. The store might not be necessary either but instead maybe have a limited number of the items at your disposal depending on the level. > was the sound mechancic clear and balanced? Yes it was pretty easy to grasp, the visual representation helped and it made sense that you would make more sound the more loot you have. It might ramp up a bit too fast, especially if you want to try to clear an entire house. I also hardly used any items and they might be more of a counterbalance than I realized. > how did you approach level 3 (if you did)? it is super basic, being created 60 minutes before the finish line which items did you use, and which not, and why? :) I ran in, did 1 smoke + 1 flash. I think a well timed flash would be enough though. I like that it was a bit of a different challenge. |
| Dec 9 18:04:10 | 28m 53s | ToggleGoggle | ♥ 0 | Trippy! I wish there was a bit more variety to the effects. Except for the raining cats I couldn't really tell what changed with every pair except that things got a bit more blurry and distorted and hurt my eyes more. It fits with the theme I suppose but I think it would be cool if every effect was more distinct and unique. |
| Dec 9 18:18:27 | 14m 17s | A path to follow | ♥ 1 | The art style is really cool even though there are some animation issues. The rest of the game does feel very unfinished though but that's how game jams go sometimes. |
| Dec 9 18:44:33 | 26m 06s | Quest for Harmony (Audio is required) | ♥ 1 | Haha, interesting entry. Really make you think about how much you take your vision for granted. I'd love to see this expanded on. The harmony fights game me some real LOOM vibes. |
| Dec 9 22:33:36 | 3h 49m | Damn Birds | ♥ 1 | Haha, I played this way longer than I thought I would. Simple but fun. I like that the old lady is pretty much a ninja master. It didn't seem like difficulty ramped up though. Sometimes there would randomly come waves with a lot of cats but then it slowed down again. The simple graphics worked well but I wished there was some sound as well. Ending screen made me laugh! birds cats.png |
| Dec 9 23:35:30 | 1h 01m | The wreck of the Pulstar-VIII | ♥ 0 | Nice to see another visual novel! While the story and characters aren't that fleshed out, the premise itself is really cool and a great use of the theme. I really like the art too! |
| Dec 9 23:53:38 | 18m 08s | Paparazzi | ♥ 1 | Nice entry and great use of the theme. Multitasking definitely makes relatively easy things a lot harder. Even if the art is simple there is a lot of visual variety and the music track was pretty dope. |
| Dec 10 00:13:55 | 20m 17s | Clutter Bug | ♥ 1 | Good first Jam! I thought about hording too when the theme was announced but ended up not doing anything with it. It does fit the theme very well though and kept me engaged longer than I thought it would (lv 12) and I chuckled at the postmen. |
| Dec 11 01:18:48 | 25h 04m | Smooth Lines | ♥ 1 | Nice, another visual novel! I've seen a couple around this LD. I think a fun way to expand on this would be to have context depended lines based on what you learn more about the girls. The challenge being, knowing when to step back and when to apply appropriate, flirty "non-sleazy" lines. I kinda sorta think that's what this game was going for but it's hard to get all that nuanced with a Jam game because of the time. Still, a fun play. |
| Dec 11 01:56:00 | 37m 12s | Will | ♥ 1 | Argh, this was pretty hard. But it was the fun kind of frustrating. Played it for quite a while, really wanted to beat it but in the end I failed even when I realized that having more cats aren't necessarily better (in fitting with the theme). Good game! |
| Dec 11 02:46:29 | 50m 29s | Skulls n' Ladders | ♥ 0 | That was really fun! The fast movement is really satisfying and it feels really good to play. The artstyle is great but the music got pretty annoying after a while. Good entry! |
| Dec 11 02:59:30 | 13m 01s | Super Ploogy Rescue | ♥ 1 | This was great, one of my favorites so far! Cute, fun interesting idea with good design. |
| Dec 11 03:54:10 | 54m 40s | Guy is late for school | ♥ 1 | So much fun from such a simple concept. Torn about the theme connection (as you mentioned too) as more potions seem to only bring positives but as a game on it's own it's really solid. Good job! |
| Dec 11 04:13:09 | 18m 59s | Just Ask Her Out | ♥ 1 | Aww. Even though the art is rough it's really cute and expressive. It's short but I had fun going back and trying every option. |
| Dec 11 04:27:09 | 14m 00s | The burden | ♥ 2 | Got Journey vibes and I'm sure it's an inspiration. Looks and sounds great, very atmospheric. Too bad you ran out of time. Might check out the post jam version! |
| Dec 11 04:43:26 | 16m 17s | Too Many Cooks! | ♥ 1 | Haha great and unique entry! Perfect theme use! Really hard though especially towards the end when they really start to pile up. Got a 9 my first go but only because of luck. I'm torn about if it should be explained what each ingredient adds at the start as some are less obvious than others. But on the other hand it might be part of the challenge to figure it out as well. |
| Dec 11 05:36:44 | 53m 18s | The Bystander Effect | ♥ 1 | There is a really cool thematic idea here. Not sure if there are differences in the actions you can take if there are other people playing as well (since I was alone in my game). I understand the bystander effect as it applies to real life but I'm not sure how it would translate to the game. Even if I was playing with other people, is there any reason I would be less likely to act as far as the game is concerned? |
| Dec 11 06:05:54 | 29m 10s | M - (name is too short) | ♥ 1 | Cool! Really kept me intrigued. I kinda wanted to continue as it felt like if I only kept flipping switches I'd uncover some hidden truth somehow :P. |
| Dec 11 06:43:32 | 37m 38s | Donuts!! | ♥ 0 | This was a really cool little puzzle game. Feels like an old arcade game. I like the art too. |
| Dec 11 06:54:37 | 11m 05s | Keep Away | ♥ 1 | Well, that was adorable. Simple and fun concept! |
| Dec 11 07:51:07 | 56m 30s | Haunted House on 43rd Street | ♥ 1 | Cool! I've worked with kids and stories before and they really have a special kind of imagination. Visuals are fun and interesting as usual. It's funny, you kinda, sort of approached "options" similar to how I did in my game (also horror/interactive story). |
| Dec 12 18:57:27 | 35h 06m | Throw Me Daddy ! | ♥ 0 | Looks great and I like the music too. Wasn't sure what I thought about the turning at first but when you get used to it, it's actually pretty fun, especially at high speeds. |
| Dec 12 19:47:05 | 49m 38s | Kittie Reaper: A Depressed Cat Tale | ♥ 0 | Cute! I like the colorful graphics even if there is some inconsistency in style. It's a pretty funny idea having a grim reaper be so adorable to be chased down even if it means death for the other party. |
| Dec 22 16:50:33 | 237h 03m | S - The Game | ♥ 1 | Such an elegant entry! The concept is simple but effective and there was enough new mechanics thrown in to keep it interesting. Music was great too! Kept me **hooked** 'til the end (I'm.. sorry). |
