| Apr 24 19:20:36 | Scarry | ♥ 2 | Love the concept and having to use the mic to boost. Feels satisfying to yell when you're being chased and the music is pounding. The graphics and ambient sound effects are very creepy. Great job on this! | |
| Apr 25 03:51:45 | 8h 31m | Super Balls Defense Base Craft | ♥ 2 | Interesting idea! First pinball game I've played where you have to destroy the balls haha had a blast playing! |
| Apr 25 16:23:09 | 12h 31m | Ryth | ♥ 1 | Great submission! I really enjoy the music and the game is fun to play. My first 5 or 6 attempts were admittedly terrible lol but once I got into the groove I felt like I was actually banging out the melodies. Very well done! |
| Apr 25 16:33:42 | 10m 33s | Lost Without You | ♥ 2 | Excellent graphics, beautiful music, and a blast to play! Very impressed with this! |
| Apr 25 17:00:36 | 26m 54s | Math Blast! | ♥ 1 | The sounds made me legit lol haha they're great! The genre combination was well done. It took me back to playing Math Blaster in the 80's! My only critique was already mentioned above relating to lack of dynamic equation generation but you already mentioned variation was a priority in the next version. Great job! |
| Apr 25 17:11:56 | 11m 20s | PainBall | ♥ 1 | Wow this is awesome! Graphics/art style are great and the concept is original and skillfully executed! I found having one person in the crowd hilarious. Top notch submission right here! |
| Apr 25 17:47:01 | 35m 05s | Fishing With Mr Bear | ♥ 1 | Nice creepy atmosphere! Audio is funny and Mr. Bear keeps the paranoia level on crank! This could be heart attack inducing in VR lol. Cool idea |
| Apr 25 17:58:41 | 11m 40s | Learning with Mr. Bear | ♥ 2 | Very well done! Creepy atmosphere with great visuals. Audio was on point and I dig the genre mashup. Great job you 2! |
| Apr 25 19:06:21 | 1h 07m | Nuclear Fission | ♥ 1 | lmao this is great! Love the concept! |
| Apr 25 19:29:26 | 23m 05s | Very Realistic Waiter Simulator | ♥ 1 | Great job you 2! There's something satisfying about flinging food at people haha fun to play! The facial expressions are great and the audio suits the game. The only issue I experienced was crackling audio but I haven't seen anyone else mention it so perhaps it's an issue with my setup. I could go for one of those burgers right about now :P |
| Apr 25 19:44:54 | 15m 28s | Rhythm Attack | ♥ 1 | I dig it! Great mashup of genres! The music is excellent and I'm a fan of the pixel work. A bit of head bobbing got my timing on point and I was lighting em up haha great job! |
| Apr 25 20:09:44 | 24m 50s | Cornivore | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea! The controls took a little getting used to but after that it was smooth sailing. The music is very peaceful and suited to the game. I dig the worms! I'd like to see some kind of indication of when seeds are being planted (maybe a sound effect?) just to be a bit more tactile. Great title as well haha good job with this! |
| Apr 25 20:40:43 | 30m 59s | Dream World | ♥ 1 | Great concept! I dig the procedural level idea. It's a very unforgiving game which is exactly what I expect in a rogue-like. There's something satisfying about hopping off the edge and free falling back into the level. There's no escape! I came across a bug that I haven't seen anyone mention which leads me to believe it could be on my end. Every time I played, at some point the screen would randomly go black but the game would continue running (I could still hear myself jump and enemies shoot). I installed the Java runtime to play the game and didn't restart (wasn't prompted to) so not sure if that had an impact or not. I'll try it again later after I reboot to see if it has any effect. [edit] Fired it up again today after rebooting and still came across the bug. Doesn't happen with any specific action but it goes all black every play for me before I can complete the level. Playing on a 4K monitor if that matters at all [/edit] |
| Apr 25 21:02:07 | 21m 24s | Humaning | ♥ 2 | lol this is amazing! Hilarious game with great graphics and sound. Surprisingly polished for such a limited time frame. I really enjoyed playing it. I found the tutorial a bit intrusive in that it obscures the whole game view but the gameplay experience is still top notch. You guys crushed it! |
| Apr 25 21:15:10 | 13m 03s | Retroviral | ♥ 1 | Lots of fun to play! The aesthetics are gorgeous and the music/sound are great! I like the variety of weapons as well. Very polished - great job guys! |
| Apr 25 21:34:10 | 19m 00s | Baseball Nightmare | ♥ 1 | High score 30. Great artwork and animation! Nice mashup of genres and fun to play. Awesome job on your first LD! |
| Apr 26 03:37:14 | 6h 03m | Infinite Typer | ♥ 1 | Great concept! I'm a big fan of the graphics. The game is hard as hell but I enjoy the challenge. Excellent submission! |
| Apr 26 03:52:03 | 14m 49s | Chrono Blaster | ♥ 3 | You did a good job on this! In only 9 hours is very impressive as well. I haven't played Super Hot so this was new to me and I really enjoyed playing it. Dodging between bullets whizzing by and landing your own shot is very satisfying. I thought the mouse sensitivity was a bit on the high side but tossing a slider for that in a future version would be a breeze. Great submission! |
| Apr 26 04:09:36 | 17m 33s | Submerge | ♥ 1 | Lots to like about this game! The artwork is excellent and I really enjoyed the music. I like the theme and it was well executed. I got just over 32k (my memory is like that of a fish in the game :P). I found the powerups a bit too plentiful and make the player OP (I was launching an insane amount of torpedoes haha) although I tend to associate rogue-like with overly difficult. Great submission! |
| Apr 26 04:25:20 | 15m 44s | The not-so Correct Platformer | ♥ 1 | I love this! Great genre mix, clean minimalist graphics, and very fun to play! The music was enjoyable and I like the use of camera shake to provide feedback. Great job! |
| Apr 26 04:46:48 | 21m 28s | Rythem Hell | ♥ 1 | Love the narration! "And then....you are dead" lol I laughed every time I heard that. Nice mashup of genres. Is it possible to dodge the enemy's attack when it's the 3 rows that spread out? I died every time during that. Nice submission! |
| Apr 26 16:24:46 | 11h 37m | Scoop | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea! I enjoyed the sprite work and the stealth component with enemy FOV. The intro cutscene was a nice touch as well. I couldn't figure out what the freeze button on the keyboard does but I didn't need to use it to beat the level. Good submission! |
| Apr 26 16:41:32 | 16m 46s | Tsun Tsun Button Mash | ♥ 1 | lol only NSFW game I've come across in the jam so far. Good artwork and humorous dialogue! The experience reminded me of back to when I was a kid playing those old strip poker games except now I feel like at least 2x as much of a creep lmao good job guys! |
| Apr 26 20:34:59 | 3h 53m | Bloodtype Coffee - Timco - Supported by Graphickly | ♥ 0 | Very cool! I dig the concept and like how you pulled it off. The graphics are great - especially the 3D portion. Nice aesthetic! Very trippy lol I think there's something in the coffee :P The music was on point as well. Great submission! |
| Apr 26 20:55:26 | 20m 27s | Toppen Ultimate Anime Defense | ♥ 1 | Wow this game is excellent! Great voxel graphics, awesome sound (announcer is on point!), lots of content, and very fun to play! Very polished especially considering the time frame. Great job guys! 5/5 |
| Apr 26 21:15:23 | 19m 57s | Fatty Boy Run | ♥ 2 | Great job on this! I like the art style and the audio is great. It runs well (nice animation) and it's fun to play. I think I found a bug. On my last run (my best) I noticed the popup at the end said my best score was lower than my current score. Attaching pic. Great submission! FBR.png |
| Apr 26 21:27:34 | 12m 11s | Extreme Fishing: Shark Bait Edition | ♥ 2 | Fun to play! The animation is fluid and everything is responsive. Nice take on the theme. The shark mouths flapping had me cracking up haha good job all! |
| Apr 26 21:41:01 | 13m 27s | The King of The Hill | ♥ 1 | Very strange and equally awesome haha I like what you did here. My first play I couldn't understand the controls at all but I got it the second time around (still wasn't easy :P). I managed to get up top and then accidentally launched myself off lol it's a funny and unique game. Great submission! |
| Apr 26 21:56:12 | 15m 11s | Ms Grunhilde's Sandwiches | ♥ 1 | Simple and well executed. It definitely captures the essence of making a peanut butter sandwich, a sandwich I'm a big fan of for the record :P The music is relaxing I kind of wish it was playing throughout rather than just when you deliver the sandwich. Good job! |
| Apr 26 22:13:16 | 17m 04s | SCARE-CADE | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this! Great dark atmosphere and I dig the art style and the shifting of the player's face when you move/change direction. When I first fired it up it defaulted the graphic quality to very low (I didn't notice) and the movement was insane. I would tap the keyboard and the player would rocket off in a direction. When I loaded it up again and changed the quality to ultra it felt perfectly responsive. Just a note for anyone else who may have experienced that. Excellent submission! Especially for compo! |
| Apr 26 22:24:04 | 10m 48s | FishOut | ♥ 2 | Wow great job with this! Simple mechanics in a very polished game. The artwork is amazing, the concept is original, and the audio compliments the mood nicely. Very impressive for 72 hours! I managed to beat the AI on my second try but it was a close one haha excellent submission! |
| Apr 26 22:42:59 | 18m 55s | Rail of Rhythm | ♥ 0 | Nice genre mashup! I like the art and sound. Enemies look great (nice animation) and the environment definitely has that wild west feel. I didn't get to see enough of it though because I couldn't reload my gun. Tried mashing buttons and clicking around everywhere but I couldn't figure it out. A bug perhaps? Cool idea! |
| Apr 27 03:49:57 | 5h 06m | Bloody Battle | ♥ 2 | This is a great submission! Large variety of sprites that come together and make a kind of abstract hell that's as weird as it is eerie. The music is very ominous and totally sets the mood. I like being able to tunnel through walls and I'm a big fan of procedurally generated games. Great job! |
| Apr 27 04:03:49 | 13m 52s | Permadate | ♥ 1 | Good use of the theme! A roguelike dating sim haha that's a great idea. I enjoyed the art/audio and it's cool the girls are randomly generated. I dated 3/4 and then DIED ALONE :*( right in the feels lol great compo submission! |
| Apr 27 04:26:51 | 23m 02s | Love is not bulletproof | ♥ 0 | Great use of the theme on this one! First game I've played where you can persuade the bullets not to hit you haha it's a funny one. I like the music and the contrast between the action and the sappy parts made me laugh. I would like to see some kind of floor sprite just so it doesn't feel like you're floating through space but I had fun nonetheless. My highscore was 98. Good job! |
| Apr 27 04:38:53 | 12m 02s | Seagulls | ♥ 1 | This game is awesome! I've played a few times now and it's one I'll be holding onto. I love the pixel graphics, the variety in weapons/cards/enemies, and the mayhem! Good use of camera shake and the audio is great as well. I agree with what other people have said about pulling the camera back a bit but you have something solid here to build on. Great job! |
| Apr 27 04:57:46 | 18m 53s | Dog Petter | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed it! Great use of the theme. Having to strategize which cards to play to best take care of the dog is a cool idea. I was always low on food and got stuck with a ton of bad cards at the end but managed to finish. Makes me miss my doggo! Great submission! DP.png |
| Apr 27 05:19:23 | 21m 37s | Armagedunk | ♥ 1 | An interesting take on the stealth genre! The story/dialogue is great. I thought the ending part about traveling was hilarious. The stealth mechanic could use a bit of work (I found I was either getting spotted really quickly or able to get away with too much) but that's something that can be ironed out post jam. I wasn't sure how to finesse the ending part so after failing on my first attempt I just went for it haha good work guys! |
| Apr 27 16:31:23 | 11h 12m | Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) | ♥ 1 | Very original concept! Even though you didn't make the graphical assets you chose them well and created a convincing scene. The music was very suitable as well and I thought you did a good job with the voice recording. I hid everything beside the toilet haha had a great time playing. I love the idea you came up with here - great submission! |
| Apr 27 21:01:56 | 4h 30m | Stirfry's Rhythm Rave | ♥ 1 | Great use of the theme! I had fun with this one. Took me a bit to get the timing down (I find it's about a 1/16 note off) but after that it became easier. I enjoyed the pixel work and the audio suited the game nicely. I was determined to get to the top haha good submission! SRR.png |
| Apr 27 21:15:01 | 13m 05s | Rogue Race | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept/use of theme! I like the minimalistic graphics/color scheme. It's tough but that's what I expect in a roguelike. I got 1800 score (and lower haha) good job! |
| Apr 27 21:50:43 | 35m 42s | Order Up! | ♥ 0 | Nice idea! Simple premise that works well. The controls are very responsive (I like that feel of the platform mechanic) and the double jump is a nice touch. I think there should be some kind of cash penalty for leaving with a full inventory rather than just clearing the inventory so there's more pressure on the player to collect the right food items. Either that or timed orders as was mentioned above. Something to think about if you pursue the game further after the jam. I had fun playing - great submission! |
| Apr 27 22:10:06 | 19m 23s | Let's Not Make This Weird | ♥ 1 | Fun game with an interesting premise. The text based dialogue was humorous, the graphic style was simple and consistent, and the audio was dope! I agree with what @siimer said about taking a lot of side missions to get items for the main mission but there isn't much time for balancing during the jam so that's something that could be worked on if you guys pursue the game further. I enjoyed it - good job guys! |
| Apr 28 20:50:06 | 22h 40m | Catchinko | ♥ 3 | Nice colorful/friendly art style! The rainbow trail is a nice touch. I also thought the music suited the game nicely. Would have liked to try it with the rogue-like mechanic but jam timeframes are tough! One suggestion for the trail - when the cat teleports you should use .Clear() on your trail renderer so the trail doesn't draw from the old position to the new position. Nice submission! |
| Apr 28 21:03:26 | 13m 20s | Devil's Playground | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept! I dig the idea and the difficulty progression with the commands being displayed a shorter amount of time is a good idea (although when it gets fast it's a bit hard to sync up). Not sure why but for my first two plays only 2 of the 3 icons came up so I couldn't understand the inconsistency of an icon meaning a different action at different times. On the third try I got all 3 icons and a score of 92. Cool idea! Nice submission! |
| Apr 28 21:20:24 | 16m 58s | Funk Escape | ♥ 1 | Great graphics/audio! I dig the text on the title screen. Cool mashup of genres that makes for a very challenging game. On my first playthrough I didn't have my browser window big enough and couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting the timing right (it was cut off just at the top of the bar the blocks have to be inside of). After maximizing it was easier because I could actually build up some ammo haha. I thought the ship movement was a bit too sensitive using the keyboard (takes awhile to stop after releasing the key) but I didn't have that issue using the mouse. Great concept/execution! |
| Apr 28 21:32:54 | 12m 30s | Crazy Cube | ♥ 1 | Very original! I really like the mechanics you came up with. The game is challenging and fun to play. I like how you represented the health as well. Would have loved some sound! Good job! |
| Apr 29 01:01:00 | 3h 28m | Moon Omens | ♥ 0 | Nice genre combo! I like the dark aesthetic and the player looks really dope. The music is great and having an online leaderboard is a plus. Great submission! |
| Apr 29 01:17:03 | 16m 03s | Rockin' Horse | ♥ 1 | Very impressive! I really dig that low poly look and the environment you created. The music is great and the mechanic of tapping to beat 1/3 or 2/4 is a cool idea. Great submission! |
| Apr 29 01:34:47 | 17m 44s | Zombie Slayer | ♥ 1 | WebGL version still running out of memory for me but the download works perfectly. I like the concept and the dark environment lit up by your headlights creates a nice spooky atmosphere fitting for a zombie game. It was fun to use nitro to hit a jump and land on a crowd of zombies. Well done! |
| Apr 29 23:28:04 | 21h 53m | Driftout | ♥ 1 | The concept is interesting but the execution leaves a bit to be desired. I feel like the player accelerates too slowly and also the invisible side walls are well within the play area which makes for a confusing death. It would also be nice to be able to hit the balls after they are in motion. It's a good idea though and something you could develop into a fun game after the jam. |
| Apr 29 23:53:46 | 25m 42s | Bath Crasher | ♥ 0 | Nice genre mashup! I had no issues playing in Firefox. I like the various turrets and upgrades you can do. Also the palette suited the game nicely. I experienced an issue where I could no longer buy hp (after buying many times) not sure if there's an intentional limit or not. Good submission! |
| Apr 30 00:05:56 | 12m 10s | FarmPunch | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea! I really dig the pixel work. The idea/presentation made me laugh (in a good way haha). The boxing mechanic seemed a bit too random rather than something you could strategize. Maybe if the carrot's gloves flashed right before punching or something along those lines? Compo is short though so I applaud your work. Good job on this! |
| May 3 04:13:33 | 76h 07m | Witch's Escape | ♥ 1 | This is an excellent submission! I love the pixel work/parallax scrolling. The music is great and the ambient audio is very suitable as well. Great use of theme and a really polished entry. Very well done all! |
| May 3 04:24:07 | 10m 34s | Shhhh!nacks | ♥ 1 | Great use of the theme! I can't say I've played a stealth based cooking game before so I appreciate the originality. I really dig the artwork and animation! Would have been great to be able to make it to the next day but there isn't much time with a jam. Great job! |
| May 3 04:39:27 | 15m 20s | NIGHT CLICKER | ♥ 2 | This is a fantastic submission! Excellent graphics and ambient audio that creates a genuinely creepy atmosphere. Good use of the theme. I thought the heartbeat mechanic was fresh. Very polished presentation - excellent work all! Scariest game from the jam I've played so far. |
| May 8 04:26:07 | 119h 46m | Bitcoin Dozer 3D | ♥ 0 | I haven't played a coin dozer game in years! It was fun to play one again. Interesting concept with the cryptocurrency, although as @blushine mentioned, it does feel like a themed dozer game rather than a genre mashup. That said, it plays well, it's satisfying to see those coins fly off the edge (and make it rain haha), and the borrow from grandma is funny. I think it's a good submission given the amount of time we have during the jam. I found a bug you may want to fix if you develop this further after the jam. The borrow from grandma button seems to set the value of coins to 20 rather than incrementing it by 20. I earned 40 coins and clicked it before it disappeared and it set me back down to 20. Would be interesting if the game had a hidden js mining script embedded in it, not that I'm advocating that :P |
| May 8 04:40:15 | 14m 08s | Forbidden Love | ♥ 2 | lmao this game is awesome! Great original concept and use of the theme. I dig the pixel work and the audio is excellent. The game is hilarious (that ending was killer haha) and I had a great time playing. One of my fave games of the jam! Great job! |
