Apr 23 05:13:01 Typer: (Word Search X Top Down ARPG) ♥ 1 I actually really like the word search part! Maybe could make a good spell system . . .
Apr 23 05:14:32 1m 31s Overcharged ♥ 1 Wish I had read the instructions -- it didn't even occur to me I could just use WASD to move instead of the rockets. Really fun!
Apr 23 05:25:56 11m 24s Agent Patissier ♥ 1 So cute, and . . . kind of hard! Thank you.
Apr 23 13:55:04 8h 29m Tennis Hero ♥ 0 Loved it! Basically a very unfair version of dodge ball. I think a more "tennis-y" aesthetic could have helped reinforce the racket-swinging mechanic, but for 48 hours this is really really great.
Apr 23 14:04:15 9m 11s (S)Word Forge ♥ 1 The way the orders stack up felt like Tetris :) -- very challenging, and I'm a fast typist! I have seen a few typing/wordsearch + crafting games on here this weekend (great minds... 😄). I think this could make a really cool magic/enchantment system. I did notice in the web version that I couldn't type a hyphen, so when I got to a hyphenated word I had to stop.
Apr 23 14:23:18 19m 03s Rythm is Lava ♥ 0 I'll admit I didn't quite "get" the rhythm part when I played it (although I noticed there was a pattern in each room of the lava's movement) -- probably would help to have audio tied to the lava patterns.
Apr 23 14:33:03 9m 45s Don't text and fly ♥ 1 Really enjoyed the flying/harvesting, very relaxing. And exploring the different options/responses with Tammy. One critique: sometimes I would die while I was flying but I wasn't sure why? (More feedback about potential collisions, at least when not texting) I love how the control scheme really reinforced the central idea.
Apr 23 14:51:03 18m 00s CITY^3 ♥ 0 I really enjoyed this one, there really is a strategy to which kinds of buildings to build when/where. The constrained grid reinforces the "2048" genre, but I'd love to see this expanded with a larger world, special tiles that give bonuses, et cetera. Great job!
Apr 24 02:20:59 11h 29m StealthBeat ♥ 1 Really fun idea, and I really enjoyed the aesthetic. A few bugs I think? (On the Mac version at least, I can't end a level without escaping out to the menu.)
Apr 24 02:28:55 7m 56s Life Is Nuclear ♥ 1 I'm not very good at this kind of game, but I held on to my last 1 hp for a remarkably long time . . . . (maybe a bug? if so a bug that made my afternoon!)
Apr 24 02:40:55 12m 00s GattaZoid ♥ 1 Love the music!
Apr 24 02:47:57 7m 02s Lofoten ♥ 1 Lovely. Just wish there were some moody ambient music. Every island I generated made me want to go play Myst. :)lofoten.gif
Apr 24 03:01:59 14m 02s Cun & Gun ♥ 0 Really enjoyed this idea, it really works. The destructible environment is really satisfying and looks great. One thing I think could improve the gameplay is if the two sides could never actually get next to each other (e.g. they were always divided by a cliff or trenches, or even if they just weren't allowed to move within n tiles of an enemy piece), so they always had to position their pieces behind cover with vantages to shoot from.
Apr 24 03:09:05 7m 06s Interaural Differences ♥ 1 I don't think I "got" this. :/
Apr 24 03:17:09 8m 04s Hungry Rabbits ♥ 2 What a thoughtful game. Thank you.
Apr 24 03:26:06 8m 57s Tetris of the Colossus ♥ 1 What a hard game! Took me a few minutes to figure out what was happening. Will be coming back to this one... :)
Apr 24 13:41:25 10h 15m YOU LEFT ME. ♥ 1 Great job. Still processing. I can tell you managed your time really well, edited down to a few great pieces of art (which I could imagine becoming a big time-suck).
Apr 24 13:50:21 8m 56s Check, Please! ♥ 2 Took me several failed sessions to figure out how to pick up the match, but after that... I laughed out loud when the meatballs arrived. :D I can really appreciate the work that went into this since my game is in a similar vein (physics sandbox solitaire). Nice work!
Apr 25 12:26:12 22h 35m A journey of the block ♥ 1 A lot of fun to figure out what exactly you're supposed to do. :) Is there any way to recover from getting a block stuck on in the wrong position other than jump off the cliff? I didn't see what having the different colored blocks added. There is always only one color that you actually need, so it's not really affecting gameplay. Overall though a great entry.
Apr 26 02:10:13 13h 44m Flowdrive ♥ 0 Solid idea. Great simple, well-executed graphics. I think the controls were a bit tricky since the camera doesn't turn with the car. First person or tighter-in third person with camera might have really set this apart from the typical "flow" fare. I love the music! Just wish there were some sound effects when I crashed my car (happened a lot for me 😃)
