| Dec 5 06:50:28 | Space Crash | ♥ 2 | A solid game. I would recommend making the bottom of the screen kill you when your entire ship goes below it instead of half: I died several times because it felt like I should have more room. | |
| Dec 5 06:55:30 | 5m 02s | Critter Clutter | ♥ 3 | A good game! The mechanic is solid and the music is excellent. A critique: for a game that's about precise clicking, there's a lot of visual noise going on: it's hard to quickly pick up the right critter when the entire area is covered with particles from the last one. All in all, though, an impressive game. Good job! |
| Dec 6 00:28:45 | 17h 33m | IntenSEAty | ♥ 4 | The art and music are very good. However, if you are going to make a bullet dodging game, it is very important to keep the controls very sharp. As it is, it takes too long to stop and turn for dodging to really be possible. I want to like this game, but it just isn't very fun to play right now. A good idea, and I hope you can improve it into a great game. |
| Dec 6 03:09:02 | 2h 40m | Manystar | ♥ 1 | This is a good start to a game. It's a pity it isn't ready: I think it has great potential. I hope you're able to complete is post-LD. |
| Dec 6 03:18:06 | 9m 04s | Somni | ♥ 1 | This is a great game! It's especially impressive given that it's a jam game: the only real problem with it is that it's too short, and that inevitable given the constraints of the game. I hope you are able to take more time with it and make a full-length game out of it. An extremely minor nitpick: If you are walking when you enter conversation, your walking animation continues to play in place during the conversation, which is slightly distracting. Not really an issue, but something you might want to know about if you're going to keep working with this. |
| Dec 6 03:23:35 | 5m 29s | Clutter Bug | ♥ 1 | I have hereby decided that having a phone is no longer important. It can sit at the bottom of the pile forever for all I care, lol. Very nice game concept. |
| Dec 6 03:34:53 | 11m 18s | Mr. Capital! | ♥ 1 | Managed to beat the game. The theme is super strong and the mechanic is great. The one thing I felt this game really needed was a little bit of edge forgiveness: I did a LOT of falling off of platforms I thought I would stay on. |
| Dec 6 03:50:25 | 15m 32s | Starbage Man | ♥ 0 | A very funny game with a clever mechanic. I really liked it. It does feel like the minigame of moving your cargo from hold to hold is never actually important: it's easier and faster to just fly to the black hole and dump the stuff. Also, I ran into a game-breaking bug: the boss appeared, said "Next time, you should be a little bit more considerate" and then the boss screen never disappeared, rendering the game unplayable. Despite all that, I still think this is a really good game. Good job! |
| Dec 6 17:51:57 | 14h 01m | Party Penguin | ♥ 1 | I really liked this game! Judging by the comments above, I may be alone in this, but I actually thought level 2 was the hardest: it took me three or four tries to beat level 2, but I beat level 3 on my first attempt. I found that the extra control granted by having speakers on the diagonals more than offset the number of controls to manage (and of course, nothing is forcing you to use them). Good job! |
| Dec 7 01:54:00 | 8h 02m | Phase | ♥ 0 | It's a good concept, but I'm finding the controls too difficult to manage: I keep crashing into walls because I can't get the car into the center. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like I'm fighting the controls more than playing the game. The graphics and audio are really good for a jam game, and what I've seen of the mechanic seems solid. Good job with those! |
| Dec 7 02:10:20 | 16m 20s | Western Hero | ♥ 2 | This is a really good game. The mechanic is solid, and a great take on the theme. The one thing I REALLY wish I could change is the player's movespeed: it feels like I'm trying to have a gunfight while walking through molasses. Also, I think it would be cool and helpful if the townspeople used their little speech bubbles to warn you of incoming bandits: it would make finding them easier and add to the atmosphere. Of course, I understand that it's hard to do things like that during the jam. All in all, though, definitely one of the best games I've seen thus far. Good work! |
