| Apr 23 01:38:08 | Atlas Runs | ♥ 1 | The game freezes when you place a temple! :'( | |
| Apr 23 01:43:43 | 5m 35s | Draw --> | ♥ 0 | We had a very similar idea! Great execution. Funny to see how even with the same basic combination, we ended up with _very_ different entries. đ |
| Apr 23 02:03:38 | 19m 55s | The Magic Shotgun Coloring Book | ♥ 1 | This is genuinely a great entry. I'm glad I get to be the first to say so. đ |
| Apr 23 02:18:58 | 15m 20s | Puck Off | ♥ 1 | This is really a fantastic entry! The "Puck Off" is particularly enjoyable. I'm impressed at the setup and level of polish. Well done! My one gripe is similar to your feedback on my game: I'd love to better be able to predict where my puck people are headed... But again, perhaps that's part of the skill. đ |
| Apr 23 02:29:26 | 10m 28s | Ryth | ♥ 1 | Wow, you have some serious musical talent! Really enjoyed your creations. The game played really well, even in the web, which is hard to do with a rhythm game (so extra points for that). I'd have loved to see a cleaner interface: all the pixelly images kind of distracted from the experience. Overall, extremely well done! |
| Apr 23 05:16:24 | 2h 46m | Love Is A Battlefield | ♥ 0 | Took a minute to figure out the z/x controls in the menu. It would have been nice to see the other side of the conversation; maybe add in pick up lines when enemies are killed or something? Good execution of bullet hell mechanics. Difficulty rating felt good. |
| Apr 23 05:35:22 | 18m 58s | Jet Boy | ♥ 1 | Rated mood for 5, due to my rage at the inability to even pass the first boss. xD Seriously though, this is a good entry. I liked the graphics and music quite a bit, though you do feel a bit slow for how punishing the boss(es?) is. The screen shake is also just a bit much for my tastes. I also question how these genres are even a little bit incompatible. đ Overall, something to be proud of and I'm mad I couldn't get further. đ |
| Apr 24 05:34:22 | 23h 59m | Hyper Beat Engine | ♥ 1 | Really enjoyed this entry! Thought it was extremely well polished, and loved both the music and the art. You really found your style and nailed it, was one of those that I wanted to get better at (and did, marginally). The minimap felt a little useless because it was just a smaller view of what you saw anyway, and I felt that the track could have been a different color/background than the... not-track? Also, not sure if you intended this, but you can button mash to get boosts. Maybe a reset on incorrect arrow key press? Overall, very solid entry, and enjoyed it a lot. đ EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 05:39:43 | 5m 21s | OLEK | ♥ 0 | Any game that lets me play as Gambit is a win in my book. đ Really though, solid entry, and great interpretation of the theme. Very fun to play, which is a big win. The challenge also felt good: enough to be difficult and make me want to get better. I wish there was a little more UI interactivity on the between level scene, didn't realize that it was a multi-choice until quite a few rounds in. Also, it was frustrating to be stuck with a bunch of shields and not be able to q, and that keys were random as opposed to matched in number and color with chests present in the level. Overall, really well done! âī¸ EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 05:57:14 | 17m 31s | Brickris Tetout | ♥ 0 | Really enjoyed this entry! Thanks for hanging out with us on the stream. đ |
| Apr 24 06:07:02 | 9m 48s | Turn-Basedball | ♥ 1 | I really liked the intention of this entry, but as you're aware, there are a number of bugs that are fairly frustrating to play around. More attention to the setting, layout, and sound would have been nice as well. Overall, I liked the idea and found it fun when it worked, but sometimes that time limit has a way of sneaking up on you. EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 06:23:27 | 16m 25s | Turn-Based Invaders from Space! | ♥ 1 | Very solid entry! The UI, graphics, sound, idea, and general feel of the game were all extremely well done and coherent. I did seem to die inexplicably every time, and I don't think it's beatable without forward and back movement, which really hurts the fun factor (to know you can't advance, that is). EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 06:39:16 | 15m 49s | Shootanoid | ♥ 2 | I liked the direction you were headed in, but I felt like it would've been more fun if your shots had been additive instead of just setting direction and speed. Also, it felt like I spent a lot of time just idling, passively dodging balls while waiting for them to clean up the level. Overall, a good idea that could use some more mechanically interesting ideas. đ EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 06:50:19 | 11m 03s | Harvest Royale | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed the concept quite a bit! With more diversifying gameplay elements, this could be a really fun game: as it stands, it was the perfect length. I liked the extra tension of the encroaching blight, but I'd really love to see some battle and some royale in play. Also, some interesting offset of textures when moving diagonally causes the tiles to separate, which was kind of distracting. EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 06:59:55 | 9m 36s | Travis Beacon Teaches Fighting | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the artwork! I'm not a huge fan of typing games, and would've liked to have seen more of the fighting aspect at play, as opposed to just a skin. Also, committing to the fighting theme with an arena and the trimmings that go with it would've definitely scored some points. đ EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 07:27:39 | 27m 44s | Heartache | ♥ 1 | For some reason, I spent like twenty minutes playing this, well into the territory where they died instantly to my souped up hitscan towers (level 61, 800 ups on some towers). Definitely could use a balance tweak, but really, this game is great fun! I'd love to see some handcrafted levels, more music/sfx diversity, and proper screen scaling: but make no mistake, it sucked me in and I really did enjoy it! EDIT: To see my live thoughts, check out this recording of the livestream [here](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253875862). |
| Apr 24 08:14:22 | 46m 43s | Hidden Affection | ♥ 1 | Overall, this is a great first entry! I like the idea quite a bit, and the execution of that concept is done in a solid way. There are a few bugs (have to restart to re-try due to getting stuck at the initial "next day" screen), but they don't get in the way of gameplay. Took me a couple of tries, but eventually that poor human could not withstand my romantic wiles. Also, can I be eater of pancakes at my day job please? |
| Apr 26 04:40:47 | 44h 26m | Zlornko Teaches Typing | ♥ 1 | This was amazingly fun and funny. Well done. đ EDIT: I and my gf played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're the first up! [Twitch Video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254590165) |
| Apr 26 04:54:15 | 13m 28s | DragTypist | ♥ 1 | Pretty straightforward, and good at what it set out to do. A solid entry overall. đ EDIT: I and my gf played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're at ~13:30. [Twitch Video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254590165) |
| Apr 26 05:08:37 | 14m 22s | Tetrisnator | ♥ 0 | This was a great entry! It was rather on the easy side, but fun to see JS Floats go past their maximum representable range. With some better scaling difficulty, and some UI polish, this could be a very fun Newgrounds-esque game. đ EDIT: I and my gf played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're at ~26:00. [Twitch Video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254590165) |
| Apr 26 05:26:55 | 18m 18s | CCG Shoot 'em Up | ♥ 0 | I ended with a score of 430! A very solid entry: no noticeable bugs, good UI, solid implementation of mechanics. I felt like it was most in need of a little more "juice"; some sound, more options like bullet hell early on (and maybe tougher enemies to compensate), and something to spice up the visuals a bit. Extremely impressive for a first time entry, you avoided the traps of over-scoping and stuck to your idea. Well done! đ EDIT: I played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're at ~40:00. [Twitch Video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254590165) |
| Apr 26 06:13:14 | 46m 19s | Wild Cards | ♥ 2 | A solid first 3D game! I enjoyed how you went about merging the common survival game mechanics into something that made sense in card form, very well done there. I also really appreciated the card art, and would have loved to see that same cleaner aesthetic in the game itself. It would have also been good to get more of a "forest"-y feel from the sounds, and maybe have some low key music that changes with the time of day, when you get attacked, etc. The biggest issue for me, however, was the unnecessary waiting. I would have rated this game higher on fun if instead of making the player wait so long while he collected resources, which in this game was totally passive, I could have had the same experience in 5 minutes instead of 20. But again, great job, hope to see you in 42! đ EDIT: I played this on stream, if you'd like to check it out, you're at ~1:18:00. [Twitch Video](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/254590165) |
| Apr 30 05:07:48 | 94h 54m | Pseudonarrative Dissonance | ♥ 0 | Not sure how it fits the theme, and the text definitely could be more readable (and size better for larger screens), but otherwise this is a great entry! I really enjoyed the music, and thought that the overall mood and visualscape was a lot of fun! Really, I just wanted more, but this is a great starting point for something larger, well-polished, and about the amount I'd expect from an LD entry. Nicely done! đ EDIT: I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look! [Twitch Stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/256065115?t=00h00m07s) |
| Apr 30 05:19:46 | 11m 58s | Nmbr Krncher | ♥ 0 | I can see this being fun, but as it is, you can just down arrow thru practically the whole game. Play some more with the level design, have some more flashy effects and something visually interesting. Also feel that the first drop shouldn't lose you a point, but hey. You have a solid idea here, and with better execution of things around the core mechanics, I think this has potential. Keep working at it! đ EDIT: I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look! [Twitch Stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/256065115?t=00h20m00s) |
| Apr 30 05:39:21 | 19m 35s | GlowWorms | ♥ 0 | This was a lot of fun! I like good Twine games, and this was a fun marriage of historical fiction and sci-fi. An interesting (if only momentary) look at slavery during the war, and then when shit hits the fan, the timer did an excellent job of creating some stress to move you along. Really enjoyed this one! Text was hard to read due to coloration, so maybe check out https://material.io/guidelines/style/color.html. đ EDIT: I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look!

| Apr 30 07:22:21 | 1h 43m | Neural Network Ratatouille | ♥ 1 | Tried to play this on stream, but alas, cannot use OBS and have the webcam free at the same time. âšī¸ I'll be back to play off-stream and give further feedback. |
| Apr 30 07:23:25 | 1m 04s | Card Racer | ♥ 1 | Definitely a good concept here that can be improved upon with more time. đ I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look! [Twitch Stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/256065115?t=01h35m00s) |
| Apr 30 07:24:44 | 1m 19s | Realm Guard | ♥ 1 | This was a really, _really_ great entry! It does what a game is supposed to at its core: be fun! There are some things that could be improved for sure, but overall, this is a very complete and enjoyable experience. I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look! [Twitch Stream](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/256065115?t=01h58m00s) |
| Apr 30 07:27:12 | 2m 28s | Rockin' Horse | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed your entry, and the core mechanics are fun and interesting, but it lacked in visual feedback for the player. I wasn't sure about what exactly hitting enter was doing for me, or when I should've been hitting it, but there's a great game to be developed further here. Please also enable the humor rating so I can 5/5 for the spicy end rating. đ I played this on stream and provide extensive feedback there, please go and have a look!
