Aug 16 00:11:09 One Billboard Outside Of Catville ♥ 1 i feel very stupid because i feel like i didnt really get it, i need to try again lol. but the art and concept are great i imagine seeing this as a mini game in a future animal crossing or something!
Aug 16 12:59:25 12h 48m GoIn- Behave or GET LOST! ♥ 0 nice idea and felt really polished! i would like to see more dynamic events or unique things that could happen. or perhaps a day/night system like a game like paper's please?
Aug 16 13:05:16 5m 51s Crate Stacker 📦 ♥ 2 i like the way you've done subtle world building, by making the like club on top and the little lights it really places the game in a world, which often games like this dont tend to do. i got upset when it insulted me though because i thought i was doing a good job :(
Aug 16 13:07:30 2m 14s Night Shift ♥ 1 wow this looks great! please let me know if you put out a mac build i'd love to play :)
Aug 16 13:12:39 5m 09s Keyboard warrior ♥ 2 i really loved this game i think the idea is so great! I don't know if you know of Bennet Foddy's work (QWOP, Getting Over It), but he talks about utilising the computer keyboard by designing games specifically for it, rather than using the keyboard as a controller substitute, and this is a great example of that. really great stuff! beautiful hand drawn animations as well! big score from me :)
Aug 16 13:26:40 14m 01s The Consumer ♥ 1 this is a great game! exactly the kind of work i like to make and like to see! i think it would work really well in an installation setup with multiple screens. really unique interpretation of the theme! nice one :)
Aug 16 13:33:48 7m 08s The Return ♥ 0 to me this felt as though it would work better as a puzzle game, the way the poison spreads is a clever idea to make the player hurry to the next floor, but i think it would work better if it was specifically designed rather than random, as it feels unfair often. but as others have said the music helps create a great pace!
Aug 16 13:36:53 3m 05s Dungeon Trader ♥ 0 fun game! really frantic! beautiful music!
Aug 16 13:38:17 1m 24s PLS Grandma STAPH ♥ 1 great game! reminds me of rhythm heaven a lot! (which is a good thing)
Aug 16 13:40:51 2m 34s ENCRYPT3D ♥ 0 very punishing game, nice graphics, but maybe a bit too repetitive?
Aug 16 13:45:27 4m 36s Crate Typist ♥ 1 i really love typing games! good fun haha, i got 320. i reckon what would be cool is being able to build towers to help defend, and maybe theyd run out of ammo and youd type to refill them? just to help when it gets super hectic. good sounds tho made the typing feel really satisfying
Aug 16 13:50:04 4m 37s The Sand Will Bury Me ♥ 1 really nice game! love to see games like this made for the ludum! the art is beautiful and the puzzles are great, but i wonder if failure has to take you back to the previous level? i think being trapped on the same level when you fail feels more thematically in check and is not as punishing? but i dont know, obviously it's your game lol. great stuff tho i really like it, probably my fav so far!
Aug 18 12:50:10 47h 00m Take care of her ♥ 2 any chance for a mac or web build of this game? would love to play it!
Aug 20 21:27:01 56h 36m Stuck! ♥ 1 fun game! wish that you took the idea a bit further and developed it into some new concepts etc but it's very well polished and fun! love the music as well
Aug 20 21:45:16 18m 15s We Have Important Work To Do ♥ 1 hey really liked this game a lot! i thought the sound was especially great! really fun! dont have much else to say really O Y S T E R
Aug 20 21:49:31 4m 15s Croatan ♥ 1 this game is absolutely fantastic! fantasy narrative games to explore ideas of capitalism! this is the best stuff! keep it going please please please
Aug 20 21:54:53 5m 22s Sofamino ♥ 2 greag game very polished very smooth very fun and rewarding! really makes you plan out your moves
Aug 21 23:15:35 25h 20m Evercloud ♥ 1 great game! really love the sense of time progressing, routine, learning the surroundings. i liked the snippets of dialogue from the character but often wished that they remained quiet as they spoilt some of the joy of discovery/puzzle solving. graphics are gorgeous and so is the sound, really helps to create a mood! beautiful stuff! the music is great. would have loved if there was maybe a couple more sound effects to just make it feel more punchy to play, but seriously cool stuff one of my favs so far
Aug 21 23:20:28 4m 53s The Sword in the Darkness ♥ 2 i actually found the silence, minimal graphics, and claustrophobic camera zoom to be quite effective at creating a mood! i liked how worried and still it felt - the calm before the storm. but i had no idea what i was doing and couldn't find the sword unfortunately
Aug 21 23:25:31 5m 03s No Space In My Stomach ♥ 3 i found it hard to tell exactly what was going to happen with each pill due to the colour coding that mostly worked? but sometimes not. the levels are really well designed and fun to solve! but i wish the snail thing could have moved slightly faster. good entry though in general! reminds me of the game Spewer somewhat... some similar ideas i think...
Aug 21 23:29:50 4m 19s CapyBarbra: A New Brow ♥ 1 very funny idea, good stuff. the animations on the hair really stood out to me, feels almost like some kind of cosmic horror these monobrow hairs bursting through the groundskin like that i dunno lol
Aug 21 23:31:45 1m 55s Demon Space ♥ 1 is there any way at all you can port this to mac? i really want to play it, looks amazing
