Apr 23 23:59:10		Deck Shooter	♥ 1	Awesome game, great execution, neat graphics! I love the highscore, and the fact that you allow updating your name after you actually played the game - I totally forgot to give me a reasonable nickname at first... This game fits the theme so well it almost hurts 😀
Apr 24 00:11:58	12m 48s	DeadBeat	♥ 2	Cool idea. I have some issues with the beat (looks like off-beat for me, or my browser isn't following the playback speed exactly, who knows), but I like the pixel look. Could be a little less course, though ;-)
Apr 24 03:21:30	3h 09m	Stop The Munchies	♥ 1	Nice game, great interpretation of the theme. It seems like card-based games are pretty trendy on this LD 😁 The graphics is sweet, but the mood could be improved by having sound effects, and not (mostly) only the music. It also seems that the cookies can be partially diverted by having multiple possible routes, this wasn't clear to me in the beginning. I guess this is part of the design, to make it less difficult to finish?
Apr 24 03:39:07	17m 37s	I bet that your CATS look good in the dance floor	♥ 1	Weird name, I like it. Would improve a lot with real music, but doing that in a game jam... for me would be close to impossible, so I understand it. Graphics is neat, gameplay interesting. I had the last tile in yellow, so I couldn't end the game - the check for valid moves seems not to respect this.
Apr 24 03:49:35	10m 28s	Shufflefish	♥ 0	I don't see the theme very prominent here. That said, it's a very solid game, the graphics and music is great and pushes the mood. I love the 3D pond, even if it does nothing to the game itself. A deck builder would of course improve the game, but that's a huge pile of work. Again, I have to say card based games are really trendy on this LD 😁
Apr 24 04:05:53	16m 18s	Remote Bot	♥ 1	Holy crap, I never thought I could hate ssh... 😭 Great job, the ASCII-artish graphics is lovely, the sound fits, awesome mood.
Apr 27 13:30:02	81h 24m	KEYBOARD WARRIOR	♥ 1	Very cool idea and implementation. Playing made a lot of fun! Some points for improvement: * Sound effects would improve immersion * The score counter vanishes the second you die - I don't know my final score, but it was around 300 * The enemies seemed to be too passive - they only try to home on you when they are already pretty close - or is that even just by chance? * A sort of goal would be great - e.g. try to get to the bottom / right / some destination point * The difficulty could slowly increase while getting to that point
Apr 27 13:47:43	17m 41s	Dungeon of High School romance	♥ 1	Really a funny twist for the genre! I liked playing, though it was almost too easy 😁 Having a bit of sound (e.g. music) would help the mood quite a bit, but creating music during LD is... almost impossible. At least for me, it is.
Apr 27 20:58:31	7h 10m	Zombie Soccer	♥ 1	Fun game, and a very good interpretation of the theme IMO. I like the hand-drawn graphics style, I'm missing some action sounds, though. The ball also sometime kicked past the zombie in front of me, and I died. BTW - I consider using a game engine produced in the past as totally compliant to the compo rules. Thumbs up for submitting as jam to be on the safe side, though!
Apr 27 21:09:54	11m 23s	Tsun Tsun Button Mash	♥ 1	Ok, so this is a standard cookie clicker game with a twist. Very funny lines from the girl, and very cute hand-drawn graphics, I like it 😁 IMO this doesn't really combine two incompatible genres, even though I understand your argument. Anyway, well done!
Apr 27 21:30:14	20m 20s	Ultimate Hero Simulator	♥ 1	Wow, this is way too stressful for me 😲 So far the best game I played on this LD. Astonishing graphics, I really like the comic style introduction. Sound kicks ass. The theme is thoroughly matched, I find this very innovative. And I like the subtle humour (tentacles and all).
Apr 29 12:46:53	39h 16m	Type2Flap	♥ 0	Very unique gameplay, very nice graphics. I'm missing sound, and saying "It is very hard." is the understatement of the year... 😬 Sometimes the level generator creates combinations that are impossible (or nigh impossible) to manage. Also, I don't see a level progression, so it's about the same difficulty from the very beginning.
Apr 29 13:12:35	25m 42s	Shuffle Climber	♥ 1	Very polished and styled game. Makes a lot of fun, the game mechanics works well (apart from the occasional random generator hickup that gives you the wrong cards for the very moment 😝) Very nice interpretation of the theme, and I absolutely love the graphics and especially sound and music. I'm always amazed at entries in game jams that include music... I'm not sure whether there is level progression; the game seems to be easier at the beginning than later on in the game, but I'm not entirely sure... The only thing I dislike a bit is the aspect ratio - this game is truly optimised for phones.
Apr 29 15:27:47	2h 15m	Axe and Roses	♥ 5	I'm in love with a rock! How hilarious! Thanks for this unique entry. The text is well written and funny. I also love the music, and the pixel graphics is great too (could have a few more animations, but you already included reasons why there are not any more in the text ;-)
Apr 29 16:28:58	1h 01m	Conquering Magic	♥ 0	Hm. I wasn't able to win against a single component; seems I'm missing something fundamental from the game design. It almost always seemed that the opponents knew what I was doing and acted accordingly. Music and sound effects are the strongest points of this entry, graphics is also neat. I didn't understand the theme relation at first, but I did in the end.
Apr 29 19:20:11	2h 51m	Elemental Monk	♥ 1	Nice interesting gameplay. I have some difficulties with the order of the elements - just like others had here. However, I don't think this is a problem of the game, rather about the ruleset it is based upon. Nice graphics, all in all a cool entry.
Apr 30 12:30:41	17h 10m	Bloodsport	♥ 1	All in all one of the most fun games I played in this LD! Also very funny (bottles and roses and explosions). Gameplay itself wasn't actually very demanding, just clicking on the audience like crazy. But thinking about how to balance the points spent made up for this. I never had to tell a bot to pick up a weapon or to go to the ball, and when I tried it it didn't work as intended.
Apr 30 13:08:56	38m 15s	RTHM	♥ 1	Very funny, the graphics are hilarious 😆 The music is a bit to arythmic for me to succeed, but that's probably just me. Very nice twist on the the theme!
Apr 30 13:19:32	10m 36s	Gender Circles	♥ 0	Awesome music, very nice graphics style, gameplay works very well, all in all very polished and fun! I still don't think it fits the theme extremely well, but as you mentioned this is personal interpretation. I find the entry very innovative, haven't seen anything similar.
Apr 30 13:24:42	5m 10s	Cruise & Co.	♥ 1	FYI - the game requires WebGL 2.0 - the only one I encountered so far, so it doesn't work on my laptop. I'll try to play it on my desktop at home eventually. Maybe this is only an export option?
Apr 30 16:41:47	3h 17m	Grid Gunner	♥ 3	A very cool and well executed project. I love the way you combined the genres. Graphics and audio are well suited. Easy to learn, it's getting hard damn fast. I also often accidentally clicked on movement buttons when I wanted to aim, but hey, that just happens. What I dislike a bit is that the scaling factor for the pixel optics seems to be fixed - I initially couldn't see the whole playing area on my screen, only in full screen or when using browser based resizing. I also find the bullets difficult to differentiate when they overlap, mostly due to the coarse graphics.
Apr 30 16:56:34	14m 47s	YOU LEFT ME.	♥ 1	Unfortunately, several textures don't load for me (RenderTexture.Create failed: format unsupported - 2.). This could be due to the fact that my machine doesn't support a WebGL 2 context. Because of this I can't check this entry yet, I will do at a later time on my desktop machine.
Apr 30 18:24:27	1h 27m	ASM Hell	♥ 0	Managed primes in 14 lines, after approx. half an hour of playing. I wonder if there's a shorter solution... Awesome job! Very nice puzzles, good gameplay, even the editor does work. A few possible improvements: * Command line editor could use a history 😛 * I'm missing a load register direct; this way I always had to use register 6 as a zero to load a constant with e.g. ADD [0] [6] 1 * There is (almost) no chance to detect whether there is a wall in the way of the character; if you had an input register for that you would have the chance to do more puzzles like escape a labyrinth etc. * Putting markers or something similar would also be helpfull For more ideas see e.g. Carol the Robot Again, thanks for this little gem, I loved playing it!
May 2 22:48:32	52h 24m	PE@CE	♥ 1	Very well working ASCII art, good sound effects. And you really did quite a number of levels, nice!
May 2 22:59:49	11m 17s	Rythm is Lava	♥ 1	Very(!) interesting game, cool genre mix. I, personally dislike the lava, because it adds quite some stress to that more logic puzzle style of the game, but that's personal taste. Graphics is nice, audio fitting. I'm fascinated how many different puzzle styles you managed to include, and the number of levels you were able to create...
May 2 23:06:55	7m 06s	BIRKANOID	♥ 1	Funny concept, cool mixture of genres. Very polished, great graphics and reasonable sounds. I guess success is a little based on luck, which kind of cards you get. Well, if you don't get the right ones, you'll just have to use up the cards you have, it should be possible, so I don't think that's a big issue in this case.
May 3 12:03:20	12h 56m	Line'em up	♥ 2	Very cool game mechanics, I like the graphics style with the sort-of post-glow effect. Having some more explanation what different types of bullets do would probably good, but all in all the game is already in a pretty neat and polished state!
May 3 22:17:26	10h 14m	'Meme'bumps	♥ 3	Very nice mood, this is definitely a horror game. I don't see the theme reflected too well, but that's personal opinion. I really love seeing the footprints on the dark screen, and the idea of the flashes on screen. I would like to see more situations when something (unexpected) happens, maybe even jump scares. Some light suddenly flickering on, and dying as soon as get close, or similar things. That would intensify the mood even more.
May 13 23:03:29	240h 46m	Unbeheaded monarchs	♥ 0	I couldn't play it because it is a windows game; some tips for getting more ratings: * Export as a Web game - I guess this is the single most important thing! * Include a screen shot in your description; the description itself is already promising (could be a little longer), but having a screenshot helps enormously * Play & Rate & Comment games!!! The more comments you give the more people will try to play your game and comment on your game * Advertise by posting on the main channel; this is probably the most difficult and time consuming job, so be sure to do the first three items first!
May 15 19:46:44	44h 43m	InvadTris	♥ 0	This is probably the most innovative game I played during this LD. All in all I think the game was too easy. I find the Tetris part way more difficult than the Space Invaders - did you think about having bullets continue during the Tetris play (and being able to move the player at the same time with different keys)? Also bullets should probably be able to shoot down the "shield" you get by removing lines. Sometimes I found that a bullet hit me, even though I was behind a whole set of shield blocks - I don't know what happened here. Sound is nice, graphics fits. Good addaption of the theme. Great job so far!
May 15 19:57:02	10m 18s	Shady Cards	♥ 0	Very interesting take on the theme; I love the graphics and the music, however it's a bit to fast for me, and I found the game concept really hard to grasp. You wrote one can read the signs on the road to get more information, however, I didn't find any signs... maybe I misinterpreted something.
May 15 19:59:43	2m 41s	The Story of my Life	♥ 0	I really wanted to play this game, however, my browser tells me that WebGL2 is not supported. I guess this is due to the intel graphics I have in my laptop. What a pity.
