| Aug 13 15:00:36 | Overflow | ♥ 2 | This is great! Feels really polished—the boat is fun to steer around, and the visuals and sound have a really pleasant sort of Monument Valley vibe. It feels a little odd that you both get scored on the number of people you save and get an instant game-over if one of them drowns—I expected to get a not-perfect-score on the level rather than to be unable to finish it. Overall, though, nice work! | |
| Aug 13 15:11:02 | 10m 26s | Body Hiding Simulator 1995 | ♥ 1 | Fantastic. Great idea, solid execution... it could do with being a little faster-paced, but it's still a romp. Good voice acting too - that was money well spent. :) |
| Aug 14 02:43:31 | 11h 32m | Summer's Lease | ♥ 1 | This is great! Fun story with well-realized characters. I liked how much your early choices popped up again throughout the story. Nice work. |
| Aug 14 02:56:44 | 13m 13s | Cosmic Collapse | ♥ 1 | This is really well done! Great use of the theme, and the gameplay's fun and challenging. Some sound would've been good, but I ran out of time for that on my own game so I totally understand that. :) Nice work! |
| Aug 14 03:04:03 | 7m 19s | Surrounded | ♥ 2 | This is really well polished, as Handle said; the incoming-enemy indicators are a nice touch (though they seem to not always appear?), as are the particle effects when you hit or destroy an enemy. We actually had very similar ideas - your enemy AI works a lot better than mine does, though. :) Great work! |
| Aug 14 03:08:51 | 4m 48s | Explodasharks | ♥ 1 | This is fun! The barrel-throwing is a little fiddly - a few times I threw it and it landed next to the shark so I had to wait for it to respawn. Seriously impressive for having been made in less than a day - nice work. |
| Aug 14 03:13:35 | 4m 44s | Void Incoming | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is superb. Seems like a simple premise but it's really challenging - the sort of alternating figure-out-the-puzzle then execute-it-without-messing-up pattern is a lot of fun (though I'm not much good at it, haha). Great work! |
| Aug 14 03:19:56 | 6m 21s | Collapsing Reality | ♥ 1 | This is fantastic! Love the look and feel of it, and the music adds a lot of intensity. It's super hard - I have no idea how you got up to 1500; by around 100 I was permanently low on energy. Still, great job! |
| Aug 14 03:30:22 | 10m 26s | Judged! | ♥ 1 | Hah, this is fun. I would not be a great judge in this world - my prison was half empty most of the time and I got down to 1 population on my last day. Still made it to day 30, though, so I'll take it. Nice art, too. Good work! |
| Aug 14 03:36:10 | 5m 48s | Rampart | ♥ 0 | This is fantastic, but oof, that pun in the name... :) Seriously, great work - it's simple and fun and really well polished. Really liked the art - the engraving at the front of the board is a nice touch - and the animation / effects are solid as well. |
| Aug 14 03:40:25 | 4m 15s | Spiritship | ♥ 1 | Huh, I like this idea - I'd really like to see what it would be like as a finished game. Love the art style; it makes me think of a hand-drawn version of Broken Age. I hope y'all make something for the next LD! |
| Aug 14 03:44:46 | 4m 21s | Dyson's Fear | ♥ 1 | Oof, I had to play this just for the title. Really impressed that you built this in assembly in a weekend; it feels super polished, though I'm not clear on what the wrenches were actually doing for me. Great work! |
| Aug 14 03:49:24 | 4m 38s | Nether Flood | ♥ 1 | Nice! The ship controls are pretty challenging, as others have said; it felt pretty hard to steer. The graphics are a nice twist on pixel art; the particle effect for the center portal thing looks particularly good (and I didn't think you could do that kind of spiraling with particles in LOVE - shows what I know). Really impressive for your first/second LD - I look forward to playing more of y'all's games! |
| Aug 18 17:39:22 | 109h 49m | Kakapo | ♥ 1 | This is a superb little stealth game. I'm not good at stealth games, so I only made it to the third or fourth level, but it was a really fun challenge. Great artwork and music as well. |
| Aug 18 17:56:43 | 17m 21s | Junk Dealerz | ♥ 1 | This is great! Fantastic art and writing, and the gameplay's tough enough to be a real challenge without being impossible. I agree more tutorializing would have helped, and the inventory menu felt a little fiddly, but I figured them out eventually and had a lot of fun. Excellent work. |
| Aug 18 18:04:50 | 8m 07s | Greedy Guts | ♥ 1 | Clever idea! Makes me think of the Magic School Bus. The flying felt fine to me, though it took me a few tries to realize I needed to find the... esophagus, I guess? at the beginning. It was a little hard to judge whether or not a given piece of food was going to hit me. Overall, nice work! |
| Aug 18 18:09:20 | 4m 30s | TOROID | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is really ambitious! Love the art style in 2D mode, with the drifting particle-things in the background - gives it a feeling of depth, ironically. Would love to play a finished version. Great work! |
| Aug 19 15:39:24 | 21h 30m | Too Much Post | ♥ 0 | This is fantastic! Really charming art style and music - I love the variety of houses. The gameplay's simple but fun - I started to try to strategize but the pace picked up too fast so I just ended up dashing between houses at random. Great work! |
