| Apr 23 11:47:03 | Travis Beacon Teaches Fighting | ♥ 1 | Great game. I really liked the art style, and typing/rhythm game idea. I was afraid it would be too easy for me at the beginning but then the difficulty went up and it was great fun with the 3rd and 4th fighters. Haven't made it past the ghost character yet, maybe I'll try one more time... | |
| Apr 23 15:16:12 | 3h 29m | [LD41] Antibody | ♥ 2 | It was hard to understand how to play since the instructions are in French. The keyboard layout is also French, so the WASD keys on my keyboard don't work, I had to use the arrow keys. It seems there may be an interesting idea behind this, unfortunately I was unable to really understand it. The enemies would all group together, and it seemed that my shots against them weren't doing anything. I pressed tab to go the upgrade screen, but I didn't understand how it works. |
| Apr 23 15:47:26 | 31m 14s | Bumper Buddies | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea! The general table layout is good and everything seemed to work well. The physics seemed to be just a little "floaty", although I'm not sure why. As @aterlamia said, the ball should be a bit bigger. Also, the sound effects should feel more powerful, with stronger bass, that's important for a pinball machine. The difficulty seemed too easy, I played for a while without ever losing. Anyway well done for not giving up and finishing the game! :) |
| Apr 23 16:17:44 | 30m 18s | Super Bigbo Commando | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Graphics are very good, and the top-down platformer mechanic works well. I just wish there was mid-air control, and a better way to gauge the height of platforms (such as the size of shadows they cast). A player shadow would also be helpful. But perhaps this would add perspective, which would go against the top-down nature of the game? Regardless, it was an enjoyable game, with a good amount of content. Well done. |
| Apr 23 16:28:50 | 11m 06s | Endless shooter | ♥ 1 | Fun little game. I wish you could just hold the mouse button down and automatically shoot. It was a little easy for me, the game did not seem to get much harder after a certain point, and it could use some more variety. |
| Apr 23 16:48:12 | 19m 22s | CaveThing in a Futuristic World | ♥ 0 | I didn't really understand what was happening or what my objective was. Then I noticed that my hammer would break things inside the ship so I started hammering away! Then the ship lifted off and I got out of it. I guess I was a low-technological species who encountered a high-tech spaceship? The game has an intriguing atmosphere, I just wish there was a bit more story. |
| Apr 23 17:39:55 | 51m 43s | Demon's in the NFL | ♥ 1 | Fun idea for a story :) The interface was confusing at times (what does "start", "finish" mean?), I unintentionally skipped part of the story because of this. Also, the red letters don't contrast well sometimes, especially with the blue background. The mini-games were entertaining, although sometimes they started or changed so quickly that I had to die a few times to figure out what was going on. Anyway it was intriguing enough that I played to the end, nice job :) |
| Apr 23 19:09:16 | 1h 29m | Rockin' Horse | ♥ 1 | Nice idea, really enjoyed the music :) It was however a bit confusing to know which beats I was supposed to press enter to, a visual indication would be helpful. The control seems to need some work, it felt a bit stiff, although that could be in part due to do my failure to press enter on the control beats. My bike got stuck into the stairs at one point. Anyway, I enjoyed playing, thanks! |
| Apr 24 11:01:37 | 15h 52m | TDshooter | ♥ 0 | I really like the idea of a tower defense for 2 players. Online play is a plus, although I was not able to try it. Playing with the bots was way to easy, and the sound effect for the machine gun was kind of annoying. Graphics are nice. Good job. |
| Apr 24 11:22:45 | 21m 08s | Shape Destroyer: Ascension | ♥ 1 | This was pretty cool! It took me a bit to figure out how to play but then I really liked the idea. I wish there was a way to get more ammunition, and sound effects. Nonetheless, well done! |
| Apr 24 11:33:58 | 11m 13s | Dance Dance Shoot 'Em Up | ♥ 0 | Nice idea. The game lagged quite a bit when I first tried on Firefox, then I opened it in Chrome and it did not lag until near the end. It was a bit hard to look at the beats and enemies at the same time, perhaps if the beats were at the top it would be easier? Or maybe make it easier to just listen to the audio cues; the main beat was easy to guess but sometimes it would not be there, or other beats added, which was a bit confusing. Anyway, I enjoyed it, good job :) |
| Apr 24 11:55:45 | 21m 47s | Sleeping Cat Drumkit Defense | ♥ 0 | Great idea, I really liked how the rhythm changes depending on which items you purchase. It was a bit easy for me, although the rhythm was quite complex by the end, I could almost randomly hit keys and win. |
| Apr 24 12:13:29 | 17m 44s | Dancing Car | ♥ 1 | It was a bit frustrating at the beginning, car was always exploding, but once I got the hang of it (by always having the car angled up) it was enjoyable. Music was nice, just not much of it :) |
| Apr 24 13:43:58 | 1h 30m | Beat'em Art | ♥ 1 | Looks good visually, slicing mechanic is an interesting idea, although it didn't seem to work very well. Sometimes no slice appeared, or it seemed to lag. This could be interesting for mobile devices. Nice job :) |
| Apr 24 14:01:28 | 17m 30s | Problematic Powers | ♥ 1 | Interesting setting, athough I'm not sure how this is related to the compo theme. I wish that I could continue moving as I attack. There didn't seem to be much strategy involved in switching powers, since it seemed to be a matter of keeping the temperature in the middle. It was entertaining, though. Good job. |
| Apr 24 14:15:11 | 13m 43s | Honest Dan's Trout | ♥ 1 | This was really a great idea for the theme. It works surprisingly well, and adds an interesting dynamic to the tetris game, since the ball can destroy the pieces. Perhaps the blocks could fall a little bit faster, since I never felt in danger of losing due to the screen getting filled. Anyway, great job, I think I'm going to try and beat my high score :) |
| Apr 24 16:17:28 | 2h 02m | g3ms | ♥ 0 | I would like to try this, but it gives me the following error: "The code execution cannot proceed because OpenAL32.dll was not found." |
| Apr 24 16:36:38 | 19m 10s | The Fast Dating | ♥ 1 | Pretty funny game :) It would have been nice if the dates were harder, such as losing progress if you say the same thing twice, and changing the position of the buttons. Also, the difficulty needs to get harder, at a certain point I could keep playing forever. |
| Apr 24 16:58:59 | 22m 21s | Type it like Schumacher! | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea, I like how the fast-paced music combines with the typing nature of the game, quite funny :) My one major annoyance is that I can't type as fast as I want, there's a small delay I have to wait for after each key press to be able to input another. |
| Apr 26 10:46:19 | 41h 47m | SKYWOOOD PIER | ♥ 1 | It's pretty amazing how you were able to create so much intrigue with such simple gameplay and story elements. The audio is excellent all around. It's also a complete game, it doesn't feel like anything is missing or needs to be added. It's my favorite compo game so far. Well done! |
| Apr 26 11:21:57 | 35m 38s | Agent Patissier | ♥ 1 | That was fun :) The game is very complete, art is great. It was a little strange to have no penalty for being caught (you actually get an advantage since you keep the ingredients). I would have liked to see more situations where you *have* to bait people with food in order to advance, I think I only had to do this once in the beginning. Regardless, it was an entertaining game, great job :) |
| Apr 26 11:41:57 | 20m 00s | FarmPunch | ♥ 1 | It was a shame the game ended so abruptly, a couple more fights with different characters would have been nice. I liked how you could tell where the carrot was going to punch by his expression. Anyway, nice artwork and original story, good job. |
| Apr 26 11:53:00 | 11m 03s | Flong! | ♥ 2 | Nice idea, having the paddles with "Flappy Bird control" :) I feel like the ball/bird would sometimes move too slow, and it would get stuck moving only at the bottom of the screen. Anyway, good job :) |
| Apr 26 13:29:45 | 1h 36m | Blitzingo | ♥ 2 | Cool idea! It took a bit to figure out that I needed to select the numbers, I assumed they would get picked automatically. Also, it's possible to "cheat" a bit by selecting numbers 1-25 in order, so it's easier to know if you have it. Even so, it was hard to beat it on medium. A high-score table would work well with this. Good job :) |
| Apr 26 17:12:27 | 3h 42m | Gardening Sim 2019 | ♥ 1 | Cool game! My only annoyance is the method of changing weapons, it is a bit confusing and I died because I pressed the wrong button and selected the wrong item. The mood was great and it was a good idea to not say in the description what kind of game it actually is, it was good to be surprised :) |
| Apr 26 17:39:02 | 26m 35s | Blue Marble Sniper: Bullet Hell Stealth | ♥ 1 | Pretty interesting and original gameplay mechanic :) Works well with a leaderboard, it's a good game for competitive play. |
| Apr 26 17:48:57 | 9m 55s | Flat Survival | ♥ 1 | Like Beard or Die said, when I reach the gold line I just collide against it. Cool idea to mix platforming with survival. Good job. |
| May 2 11:26:40 | 137h 37m | Frogger: The Jigsaw | ♥ 1 | Cool game! I like how you have some choice in the way the level takes form as you complete the jigsaw. It's definitely difficult, I made it to the third level. I would perhaps like to have a bit more space to maneuver, it felt a bit cramped; especially since I had to keep looking to the side to see what kind of piece I got. I would like to be able to see the form of the piece better before I collect it, but since it's pixelated I can't really tell. Anyway, good idea, and a great challenge, well done :) |
| May 2 14:21:29 | 2h 54m | Empty Space | ♥ 0 | By mixing a shooter with the sliding puzzle, you're making the puzzle even harder and more frustrating than it already is, so for me this was kind of awkward to play. But it's a neat idea, and if you're a sliding puzzle master I suppose this would be fun. |
| May 2 17:39:34 | 3h 18m | Candy Catch | ♥ 0 | Nice music :) The difficulty seems a bit inconsistent. On my first tries I got killed almost right away, then on my last try, I lasted a long time without difficulty. Funny idea though, and entertaining. |
| May 2 18:02:47 | 23m 13s | DragTypist | ♥ 1 | Cool game, I had fun :) My best score was 51.327s on my 5th attempt. The music during gameplay is great! I think that the speed at which the letters change gets a bit too fast at higher speeds. I would prefer that they changed a bit more slowly, while removing the possibility of hitting a key after they disappear, since that feels a bit confusing. Great submission nevertheless. |
| May 2 18:14:27 | 11m 40s | Boring RPG | ♥ 1 | Cool idea :) I think that the idle attacks need to be more frequent, I felt like I was clicking too much. Once I reached level 4, I had to click too many times for the next upgrade, so I gave up. It would be interesting to see the effect of the different player stats. |
| May 2 18:34:14 | 19m 47s | Bar Fighter - Dating sim + Fighting game | ♥ 1 | Very funny idea :) Everything looks great, but the combat felt a bit random, since I didn't assume that you put a pattern into the way the computer fights. Some kind of hint as to where he is going to attack could have helped. Anyway, nice job :) |
