| Aug 14 04:10:34 | Soggy Bunny | ♥ 0 | Cute game. The puzzles are fun and the mechanics are well introduced. It would be nice to have some more levels. It'd also be nice if the game could automatically reset once the player can't move, the water has spread out completely, or some other metric to determine that you've already lost. That's just a minor nitpick though. Overall, it's a great, classic puzzle game. Good work! | |
| Aug 14 04:32:16 | 21m 42s | Anna's Tale | ♥ 1 | Cool idea! The art was nice, and I liked the way you used the theme to deliver a story. I wish more time had been spent on spelling and grammar checking. Also, it seems like I may have hit a bug or there's something unclear in the gameplay because I had the impression that cards that weren't refreshed would disappear and be replaced with new memories but once the board filled up, no new cards ever came in. Maybe there was art missing? Otherwise, great work! You did a nice job of incorporating the theme in a unique way. |
| Aug 14 04:57:03 | 24m 47s | Hot Tub Stu | ♥ 1 | Great game! Love the art, the world space text boxes, and the dialogue. It really makes the game feel complete and polished. The music also went really well with the mood. My biggest criticism would be that the syringe throwing felt unresponsive. Sometimes I'd click and the meter wouldn't start filling up. On top of that, the hit detection was a little rough on some of those bubbles. You'd hit them dead on and it wouldn't count, especially the top one on the cucumber. Otherwise, it was a really polished game. Good work! |
| Aug 14 05:16:59 | 19m 56s | Gutted Goblin Trading Co | ♥ 2 | Fun game! I liked the mix of Diner Dash gameplay with an actual character you control. That said I felt like tank controls were a strange choice for a control scheme, or at least I wouldn't have used w for throttle. That felt especially confusing since the gameplay primarily involves moving horizontally. Other than that, I enjoyed it a lot. Great work! |
| Aug 14 05:29:06 | 12m 07s | Plague Runner (HTML5) | ♥ 1 | Great work! The gameplay was really unique and the puzzles were all really fun. I love the amount of art that went into these levels and the effort that was put into sfx. The spike in difficulty at level 3 felt like a bit much. It feels like you get sick a bit too fast while not in the stench. Otherwise, great game. I enjoyed it a lot! |
| Aug 14 06:07:20 | 38m 14s | Stuck! | ♥ 1 | I liked this game from the moment I clicked on it because of the art and it didn't disappoint. Beautiful art and animation. Unfortunately, the gameplay doesn't really work out. I became really frustrated because I literally couldn't move on my laptop. After a few tries, switched to my PC where it worked the way I assume it was intended. I feel like the game relied too much on faulty physics. Once I got it to work though, I enjoyed it. It's just too bad that it's so platform dependent. |
| Aug 14 06:18:20 | 11m 00s | TINY TOWNS | ♥ 0 | I loved the art and the sound effects. Wished I could've gotten more into the gameplay. I feel like the game could've done a better job with tutorializing because I was frequently confused by the ways things were working even after reading everything. Other than that, it was a pretty polished and satisfying game to play. |
| Aug 14 06:43:15 | 24m 55s | Halcyon Woods | ♥ 0 | I loved the art and environment design. The gameplay was a little buggy in parts with logs falling through the ground, and I feel like it could use some more indication that you are successfully chopping down a tree (since some of them took a good 8 whacks or so). But other than that, it's really unique from the other games I've been seeing and I enjoyed just walking around and playing it like a walking sim. |
| Aug 14 07:27:17 | 44m 02s | Clippy's Awakening | ♥ 2 | Wow! This game was so great! I love it! The whole idea of navigating the computer as clippy was so fun. On top of the great art and sfx, the metroidvania design made it feel super polished and complete. I hope you continue to build on this because I would definitely keep playing! I also hit the end boss bug so that was a bit of a bummer, but that didn't detract much from the rest of the experience. My only other suggestion would be that clearing out files felt really satisfying in the beginning but there was less and less of that as the game went on, so peppering more files to delete throughout the game would be nice. The openable meme file was a nice touch. I feel like you could do a lot of cool stuff with that if you chose to build the game out further. |
| Aug 14 07:49:28 | 22m 11s | Plug And Shoot | ♥ 2 | This was a pretty fun game! Good work! I just wished the difficulty curve was a little better. I died a lot in the very beginning just trying to figure out the strategy and such. This would be a really solid game if it just started out with an easier tutorializing section. |
| Aug 14 20:20:32 | 12h 31m | Cherrytales - Cherryboy and Briar Princess | ♥ 2 | I really like the art and concept! Unfortunately, there were a lot of bugs in the webgl version that prevented it from being playable there. You frequently get stuck in between grid spaces and then the graphics don't update. |
