Apr 24 23:05:51 Barry Has a Secret (horror, meal hiding simulation) ♥ 1 Nice work on the animations, quirkiness, and the bananas. I put all my stuff in the fridge and just stood in front of it when the cops came.
Apr 24 23:13:45 7m 54s Helsing ♥ 2 The sound design, music, and atmosphere are nice although navigating the dark maze is slightly infuriating. The game maintains a dark aura and suspense the whole time. Good job.
Apr 24 23:20:07 6m 22s Rainy Night ♥ 1 I wanted to like this but I found myself not having any fun. I like the premise and the design works, it just doesn't engage me much. The 2d rain also messes with my perception from a top down angle.
Apr 24 23:26:12 6m 05s Survival of the Smartest ♥ 2 Neat idea here. Would be very interesting with some more sounds and scares. I found myself getting questions wrong to see what all your spooks are ^_^
Apr 25 23:12:30 23h 46m YOU LEFT ME. ♥ 1 This is so good! Fantastic artwork. The music suits the game but it also seems to be the only thing slightly out of place. I really liked the abrupt changes between darkness and comedy in the dialogue.
Apr 25 23:36:50 24m 20s Modern Fairway 4: Spec-Ops in the Rough ♥ 2 Haha this is such a great usage of the theme. I thoroughly enjoy the mission accomplished screen ^_^ The soundtrack fit just right. I had more fun missing the ball barely than actually hitting it. The only thing I'd change would be to remove the stamina meter for sprint. There's golfing to do, no time to stop for breath.
Apr 25 23:44:30 7m 40s 'Meme'bumps ♥ 2 Slightly humorous and ridiculous at the same time. The 3d audio design works out nicely. The sound for the scares gets a little ear-grindy though.
Apr 26 00:46:18 1h 01m Racingsaurus Text ♥ 2 Love the art style and the mixture of genres :) Interesting take on the racing/dating sim. The music gets a little irritating quickly and some different/more text messages would be a welcome addition. Very creative idea and well executed! I liked how challenging it was to text and drive, good reminder for real life.
Apr 26 00:55:04 8m 46s Haiti Kitty ♥ 2 This is an adorable entry. I liked the transitions between the designs, and how unimpressed the stars were when I only got two of them. Nice work.
Apr 26 22:07:47 21h 12m STEW'M ♥ 1 Really cool idea. I'm an old school Doom fan so was quite engaged from the start. This would be an interesting idea to elaborate on. Old style levels, 3 special stew ingredients from boss-ish things throughout the level to put in a pot. Background music and some more sound fx would do a lot for it too. Stew plopping noises and meat hitting the floor noises maybe? Nice work though!
Apr 26 22:32:39 24m 52s Corn Wars LD (Farming-Shooter) ♥ 1 The concept is well executed but the whole experience feels very tedious, from only holding 24 of one item, the cooldown, and the effort needed to raise coin. It also seems to much like a regular farming sim with gun models instead of rake models. I'd suggest trying to increase the player reward system and making the harvesting run smoother. Could use turret guns to harvest corn efficiently or something. Harpoon gun retrieves crops. To me, it seems to lack any shooter-ness at all, not that it needs to be fast paced and extreme, just needs to feel more like you're using the guns to farm.
Apr 26 22:54:07 21m 28s Musical CCG ♥ 1 The file size is pretty extreme for the game, I'd recommend compressing your audio to some format other than WAV. The card game took some figuring out but right about the time I did I broke the music somehow, had a bug where white noise came in when I hovered a card and it didn't stop. This is a very cool idea though, but it feels a bit tedious and some of the SFX during attacks are too loud. It needs some polish, and definitely a tutorial system (wasn't sure how to remove cards/if you could?). I know it sounds like all my feelings are negative but you did do a nice job and it is very interesting.
Apr 26 23:08:55 14m 48s Puttsy ♥ 1 Good execution and clever puzzle-age. I really liked the sound effect for the cannon tower. One suggestion would be to leave buildings in place when you retry, instead of having to place all the pieces again.
Apr 26 23:18:45 9m 50s Ms Grunhilde's Sandwiches ♥ 1 The intro was all adorable and then Carson just came over for sandwiches for the rest of eternity. I really liked this entry. Nice and simple, no jelly, infinite PB. The shwoop sound effect was phenomenal. I tried to smear peanut butter all over the loaf but it just shwooped. I'd suggest the ability to put more peanut butter on the sandwiches.
Apr 26 23:24:50 6m 05s Happy Harvest ♥ 1 Very enjoyable but also very easy. The BGM and art style were all very nice. The contrast between light and dark was also a very nice touch. This manages to set a lot of mood, although it gets repetitive quick and the horror quickly dies down after you realize how little of a threat the enemies are. Nice work overall!
Apr 26 23:30:08 5m 18s Late Night Shopping ♥ 1 Very humorous entry. My favorite was the death animation, the slow decline from shopping cart driver to floor person. It all works well but I think the light flickering could get toned down a touch. Would also be cool with collectables on the shelves on either side occasionally, bread on sale or something. Overall, funny stuff, good job.
Apr 26 23:40:13 10m 05s Snack & Slash ♥ 1 The graphics and art style are delightful. Very interesting game concept. The only negative things I have to is that the audio gets somewhat repetitious, and it can be somewhat hard to navigate at first. Overall great job! Really liked the vegetables.
Apr 26 23:47:59 7m 46s SPORTS ♥ 1 My favorite thing about this game is the name. The music was quite fitting as well, but some of the SFX got old quick. The zamboni coming through was a great touch, especially watching it do the whole court (field?). Would make for great multiplayer fun. Awesome job.
Apr 27 19:41:33 19h 53m A Kid's Nightmare ♥ 1 Nice work! Good audio atmosphere and awesome voxels. I found it a little unclear how to hit the switch in level 2 (and I had tried jumping off the stool and jumping). The UI often appeared and disappeared very quickly before reading it. I thought the music and sound design was very nice but it could generate a lot more atmosphere with a couple more 3d SFX (robot humming movement along with beeps, windows doors slamming, kid moving noise). Overall great work and good job, but I feel I should say it doesn't quite seem to fit the theme to me.
Apr 27 19:52:30 10m 57s Off the Hook ♥ 2 Wonderful entry! The graphics are top notch and the fluid noises and atmosphere are very impressive. I did find the game to become somewhat boring/easy after an amount of time, and the single 'dunn' noise to get repetitive. Maybe the noise could play in different pitches randomly, or have 3-5 different similar noises. Overall great job. Would be very cool to see it pursued in further development.
Apr 27 19:59:33 7m 03s Devil's Doll ♥ 0 Awesome concept but wow is it hard. I very much appreciate your programmer music and art as well. There is a considerable amount of polish for what you produced as well. Great work, but I'd suggest making it easier. Those first two jumps took me a very long time. ^_^
Apr 27 20:08:33 9m 00s The Fishing ♥ 2 I was pleasantly surprised by this game. I'll admit I did feel fear with each fish the got larger and lager ^_^ Great usage of theme, and I'd also consider it somewhat of a platformer. The graphics all work nicely but they are somewhat out of tune with initial casting screen. Nice work on the audio and gameplay as well.
Apr 27 20:23:59 15m 26s City Blocks ♥ 1 Very cool concept and quite a challenge too. I like how you had an excess amount of left hand only words ^_^ The audio was nice but the block breaking noise got a little old fast. I found myself dying after dying because I tried to type then instead of not die again. Great job!
Apr 27 20:35:56 11m 57s In the Details ♥ 0 Nice concept and character art but the lack of audio really drags it down. The controls and camera are a little quirky, especially when you don't even realize you're doing the controlling from the start. Good job on the theme and the execution, but I didn't find the gameplay particularly rewarding or engrossing, even when succeeding, but I'm not a big fan of management sims.
