| Aug 14 14:47:30 | Dora De'athsplorer | ♥ 2 | Funny idea! It really fits the theme, and it's a fun game overall! That being said, the controls could use a little work. It's almost impossible to click the arrows while they are moving, and the abcd keys are spread all across the keyboard, making it impossible to use them. Maybe WASD would have been a better idea. Anyway, I love the graphics, and the music is pretty great! Great job, and happy coding! Cheers! - The Koala Squad | |
| Aug 14 14:55:51 | 8m 21s | 35 Seconds to Arrival | ♥ 1 | Good job! I like the art, and the fact that you took on the compo really impresses me! It does have some issues on the fun side of things. First of all, the window size makes it impossible to see asteroids coming. Second, there's no way to tell how close you are to dying. Third, you can just fly in the space between the asteroids all the way down and just skip the challenge in the game. I know you already knew most of these things were a problem, but I'm trying to be helpful. I like what you did with the theme though (I just KNEW someone was going to take "Running out of space" and use the literal meaning for running on it!) Overall, good job, keep going, and maybe try the jam next year (It's WAY easier, and you get a much better game with the extra time). Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 14 15:08:41 | 12m 50s | Slime Escape | ♥ 1 | Great job! I love the art style! I do wish that it wasn't so madenningly impossible though. If you had a little slower of an approach to the harder sections, that would help a lot. The music is alright, along with the SFX. Overall, great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 14 15:19:25 | 10m 44s | Typewriter | ♥ 0 | Amazing work! I LOVE the art style! It's a really fun game, and I the music/SFX fit perfectly! The theme fit really well too! Great job! Keep on coding! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 14 15:31:05 | 11m 40s | Artemisa | ♥ 3 | Great job! I would also agree that the game is really tough because of the wacky camera. The art looks amazing though, and it fits well with the theme! The game is quite fun too! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 14 15:54:40 | 23m 35s | Laser Rails: Chase! | ♥ 1 | Great job! I love the art, it really looks great! The gameplay is a little lacking though, and it's really hard to know what's going on and what to do. I got stuck on zero points for about ten tries because I didn't know that the jetpack has LITERALLY unlimited speed. Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to make the connection between this game and the theme. Overall, great job, and maybe try the jam next time (It's a LOT easier to get a game done with more time). Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 14:50:16 | 46h 55m | Super Responsible Parent | ♥ 1 | I've tested the game on a 144hz screen, and it works fine. No need to worry! The game is fun, although rather hard, and I love the art style (quirky, but very fitting) and the audio! Good job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 15:26:59 | 36m 43s | Zero Star | ♥ 2 | Good job! I like the idea, although the execution was a bit lacking. As far as graphics go, it looks alright, but the fact that it is missing any music is a bit of a mood killer, and since the alien ship shoots straight under you, it's simply a matter of holding down spacebar. Overall, great first attempt! Keep working on this, and it will look SO much better! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 15:39:43 | 12m 44s | Scrap book: A doodle quest! | ♥ 0 | Great job! I love the art, and the cute mechanics tie in with the theme quite well! I would say that you do need some better sound though. Programmer music and SFX won't take you far. There is also the fact that you can quite easily die within a split second if you take 3 hits of damage from different enemies, which is kinda an issue. Maybe an invincibility time would help. Overall though, I'm quite impressed! Great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 15:53:18 | 13m 35s | NEOVOID | ♥ 0 | First thing to address: If you have a screen refresh rate higher than normal, play it on WINDOWED, not FULLSCREEN! The game relies on framerate, not on standardized time, which means that at 144hz refresh rate (As is my monitor), the game is almost unplayably hard. Aside from the major issue, I absolutely LOVE your graphics and audio! They fit the game so well! I also love the fast-paced action of the game. It's really fun, and the challenge is a fun part of it! As a little side-note, the insanely fast version of the game actually works REALLY well if you remove the lasers, which pretty much one-shot you before you can get rid of them. Maybe consider speeding up the game WAY too fast and make it part if the fun! Overall, really great job! Let's see it even faster! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 16:24:11 | 30m 53s | AstroExpand | ♥ 0 | Good job! I like the graphics, and the idea is well done! It is really hard to take care of the planet though, especially later in the game. It definitely fits the theme, and it is pretty fun! The audio is simple, but it works fine that way! Overall, great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 16:36:26 | 12m 15s | Compression | ♥ 1 | I've gotta say, that was REALLY hard. I love the visual aesthetic though, and it fits with the theme really well! The audio is pretty cool too! Overall, great job! |
| Aug 16 17:48:44 | 1h 12m | Bug Squasher | ♥ 2 | Amazing work! The art is quite good, and the game is fun! It's truly an innovative idea and creative execution works wonders too! The MANY, MAAAAAAAANY puns really helped put your game up there in humor (Especially the pun on the theme), and the audio is great too! Amazing job, and good luck! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 16 17:55:58 | 7m 14s | Line 42: Space Subway | ♥ 1 | I don't know why, but the web version (Which is the only version) shows a pink missing texture the moment you click play game. I'm using Microsoft Edge browser, and the rest of the game does run right, so I'm not sure what's going on. I can still play the game "Normally", but I can't see what I'm actually doing... |
| Aug 16 18:00:04 | 4m 06s | Hivemind | ♥ 1 | Through no fault of your own, I am unable to rate your game because it directly conflicts with some of the software that I have on my computer. I'll rate the game based on what I can see. First of all, the graphics are awesome and clean, and the idea is just flat out AMAZING. It's really impressive that you executed on this idea so well! It doesn't quite fit the theme that well, but it's still impressive! Good job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |

| Aug 19 15:09:36 | 58h 51m | Demonic Digestion | ♥ 2 | Good job! The art is fantastic, and the idea is quite well done! It fits the theme really well, and it is pretty fun. The music is quite well done, but there is one issue with it, and that is looping. Basically, you need to make the songs start and end on the exact same sound, whether that's a note, a drum beat, or silence, because otherwise you get this tearing as the song abruptly changes from he end to the beginning. That's why most radio songs have a few seconds of silence after their songs: to prevent tearing. It becomes even more of an issue for a video game because the one song could have to loop for hours on end! Other than that though, quite a good job! The bugs that I noticed have already been brought up by others and I'm sure you're already working to fix them. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 19 15:30:15 | 20m 39s | Space is Key | ♥ 1 | Quite a good job you've done! The mechanics are pretty solid (Although no matter how hard I tried I couldn't smash an alien with a wall), and the art is really impressive! It fits the theme and is pretty darn fun! The audio is awesome too! Good Job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 19 15:42:52 | 12m 37s | Personal Space | ♥ 2 | Good job! The mechanics felt solid and fun! It could use some work on the graphics though, and the audio is rather lacking. It fits the theme quite well though. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 19 15:52:52 | 10m 00s | 6 K | ♥ 2 | Impressive work! The graphics and audio are amazing, and it feels really fun! The mechanics are great, and the theme fits perfectly! Good job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 19 16:43:14 | 50m 22s | The Junk's Games | ♥ 0 | Good job! The art is pretty good, and the idea is nice. The buttons are almost unusable, working only occasionally. Plus, the game is DEFINITELY a troll. It's almost impossible. However, the mechanics do work for what it is, and the audio isn't half bad. Good job, and keep coding! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 19 16:45:28 | 2m 14s | The Lonely Moon | ♥ 0 | Web GL 2 not supported... What is that supposed to mean? Are you using an older version of Web GL that isn't supported by newer browsers? I'm using Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer and they both get that error when you try to open the game page. |
| Aug 19 18:42:11 | 1h 56m | Haunt TV | ♥ 0 | Great job! First things first, it was a little counter-intuitive. The controls were strange, the ghosts making you lose Mbs wasn't obvious until I read the comments, and the mine level cut to a black screen for me and never moved on to the mine. I just got stuck in a black screen forever. However, I really love the art work, and the idea is pretty darn good! It fits the theme too, and the audio was superb! Overall, great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 23 21:59:09 | 99h 16m | Eye to Eye | ♥ 1 | Great job! My first thought when I jumped into the game was "Worms Battlegrounds." It is very much like that game, and that's not really a bad thing, since the game is fun and quite interesting. I do wish you had an AI for single player, because playing against yourself doesn't really work. The audio is impressive though, and combined with the graphics really sets the mood (although the SFX are a little lifeless, especially the ones when you take damage). The huge pit in the center of the map is kinda a game killer though, because it's almost impossible to stay out of it and it is impossible to escape. Minor issues aside, great job on this one! |
| Aug 23 22:23:53 | 24m 44s | CubiCo | ♥ 1 | Incredible job! The puzzles are absolutely astounding! It's really fun, and the music and graphics are spectacular! I did get stuck on the second level with the NPCs, and I could not kill it because it wouldn't destroy the block as I walked off of it in front of the robot (annoying, possibly a bug). The mood works great, and the theme fits great! This has got to be the best implementation of the most literal interpretation of the theme that I have seen so far. Great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 24 18:17:08 | 19h 53m | Get Off My Lawn | ♥ 1 | Great job! I love the art and the audio, and it's fun! It doesn't fit the theme that well though, mostly because it's way too easy to defend just a couple of squares with your scream and do nothing else. However, I liked the humorous idea and mood! Overall, great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 24 23:11:11 | 4h 54m | Garbage Compactor | ♥ 0 | Good job! The game really fits well with the theme, and although it is short, the mechanics do make it seem oppressive and fun! The mood is pretty good, but the poor audio and graphics do kill the game's overall atmosphere, as well as the buggy physics that send the objects teleporting back and forth between the walls until they are destroyed or just bug out. Overall, good job, and I'd love to see some music, SFX, and better models, as well as maybe a bit more length (levels, difficulty, etc.) Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 24 23:25:58 | 14m 47s | Speed-Shooter | ♥ 0 | Good job! Impressive work on the speedrunning design! The game feels great, and the controls are great for this game. I like the joke about the theme, but it isn't going to get you many theme points. The art is also rather lacking, along with the audio. The leaderboard design is cool though, and the game is fun. Overall, great job, and get some art that isn't placeholder art! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 24 23:40:29 | 14m 31s | Breathing Space | ♥ 0 | Great job! Impressive work on the writing, and the art is well done! The complete lack of audio does kill the mood a little though, but other than that great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 24 23:49:31 | 9m 02s | A tiny corner | ♥ 0 | Great job! I love the art here, and it's a really fun game to play! It fits the theme quite well, and the mechanics work great (even though the page is French, it still works!). The only major issue I have is that the mouse cursor completely disappeared whenever it hovered over the game, so I couldn't use UI elements without a lot of work. Other than that, great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 25 00:06:09 | 16m 38s | Fyrewall | ♥ 1 | Good job! The core mechanic is an interesting idea, and as has been mentioned, it does turn into one big platformer/maze solver. That being said, the mechanics are a little frustrating. You should be able to place the anti-viruses wherever you want rather than at terminals, because it quickly becomes impossible to actually deal with 99% of the viruses, and this does kill the fun of the game. The graphics are decent, although the default unity audio should have been replaced. The mood was kinda killed by the lack of music/ambience and the aforementioned frustrating mechanics. Overall though, good job, neat idea, and a lot of work ahead of you if you intend to take this long distances. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 25 00:15:10 | 9m 01s | Body Hiding Simulator 1995 | ♥ 0 | Great job! The idea is hilarious, although it perfectly resembles a game about hiding body parts from the last time around... Anyway, it's quite fun, although the mechanics are a bit strange. Voice acting is always interesting and a good way to shake things up, so good job including that! Overall, great job, and get some polishing done! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 25 17:20:35 | 17h 05m | Beater | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea! I would agree that more ways to interact would be good, such as different tracks that you can toggle on and off for drums, guitar, etc. Another thing that would be good is to import your own songs rather than just the songs that come with it. If you want inspiration, google did something very similar. Check it out here: https://experiments.withgoogle.com/webvr/inside-music/view/ They obviously have a bigger budget and different goals, so you have some room to make yours unique. Great job on the execution! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 26 16:30:18 | 23h 09m | Play Not With Food They Said | ♥ 1 | Uhhhh, what did I just play? Seriously though, great job! You tried for weirdness and you got it spot on! Of course, it's pointless and completely weird, but that's sorta the point, and I'm really glad to see someone innovating in such a strange way. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 26 16:38:54 | 8m 36s | A D Roll'Space | ♥ 1 | I have one word for you: CHECKPOINTS. Other than the complete lack of such, great job! The mechanics worked pretty well, and the graphics were quite good! The audio was alright, although it really didn't fit the theme. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 30 02:43:11 | 82h 04m | SpaceLab 42 | ♥ 4 | For those wondering, we also received a generic comment about our game being balanced. Moving on, I really love the graphics! I love seeing a game that makes graphics the focus instead of gameplay, as it does tend to freshen up the competition! Now, I understand what people are saying about the assets used. However, I feel like we are making a rather large mountain out of a molehill here. The only reason this has become an issue is because you did not opt out of graphics, for the very reason that this would absolutely kill your game. Now, here's my opinion. Firstly, you should have been up front about all of this, addressing it in the description rather than letting it devolve into a flame-war. Honesty is the best policy, especially with something where you may get panned if you remain secretive about it. Next, I believe you are fine with using the spaceship, as well as any materials for the game, because they aren't the point. The main focus of the game is the art in the menus, not the game or its art. Putting some other people's assets into minor pieces of the game shouldn't take away from the major purpose of the game. Really, it should just kinda be shrugged off, because it isn't the focus of the game. Finally, the biggest issue with the assets: the background in the menu. I've got to be honest about this one: it's going to hurt your score. There's no denying that this is an issue. It's a major piece of the graphics, and the best part of the game at that. I'd take away a full half-star from your graphics score, mostly because it is the visual crux of the menu. Now, the gameplay. I'd say that I'm kinda just going to throw this out the window. It's going to get a terrible score because it is a pretty terrible game. It's got a basic premise, it's almost impossible to lose, and it lacks mechanical interest. It is free from bugs, and it does work for what it is, so I will give you 2 stars, but overall I'd say that because this isn't the purpose of this game, you really should just opt out of it so you can get a good rating at the end. Finally, the audio. It's really top notch stuff! However, I'd like to express some doubts about the originality of it, particularly the ambience in the menu. I don't doubt that the music is yours, nor do I doubt that the SFX are original, so that already is a major contribution. Forgive me and tell me if I'm wrong here, but I just can't tell. The audio that you used work really well to bring home the mood though. The mood was absolutely amazing! Incredible work tuning the graphics and audio to fit the style and mood of the game! Overall, great job on the graphics and mood, not too great job on the theme, and be honest about what you did or did not make as far as graphics go, and maybe make it all your own next time, even if it has to be terrible, simply to avoid this stuff. Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 30 04:11:04 | 1h 27m | Narrowing | ♥ 1 | Amazing! The graphics are incredible, clean and pretty! The mechanics worked really well too! The only issue is that it is a huge guessing game about which bricks are which color, and that is an issue when you have to go for specific colors to reach certain doors. I'm not sure what caused it, but the game crashed due to a "fatal error." Maybe you should get on that... Anyway, the theme fits well too, and the mood is quite well done! Overall, incredible job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
| Aug 31 04:12:50 | 24h 01m | Last Land Heroes | ♥ 0 | Screenshot.png Yay... Your game's video is on the way! |
| Aug 31 18:47:33 | 14h 34m | Placeholder | ♥ 4 | Seriously, guys. You're just making more work for him by making him have to take this game out of the final scores. Lay off the trolling, would you? |
| Sep 4 14:19:02 | 91h 31m | Don't Drown | ♥ 1 | Great work! The concept here is quite interesting, and the physics are impressive! It's not really optimized well though, because I was running at about 6 frames per second or less by the end of it, and I have a pretty powerful computer. The graphics are quite good, and both the raft and the water looked really nice, although the background and the cube container didn't look quite as good. The mood is awesome too, with the nice descriptive text and the great feeling of being out at sea in a cube! As far as fun goes though, it mechanically was just spinning around the torrent of water the entire game, but the visual appeal helped make it a lot more fun, especially with the quirky raft physics! Great job! Cheers! - The Koala Squad |
