Aug 14 05:14:49		The Unfortunate Story of Hans	♥ 4	I spent quite some time playing it. I like the idea. I was somewhat confused about the debris vs space thing, but I think that the debris is some kind of punitive measure if you let your things be destroyed? I also wasn't totally sure about how to defend from monsters. Probably bunkers and maybe decoys? Both fonts are also somewhat hard to read, the futurist one only because it is too small and I don't know how to make it bigger. Anyway, I really like the concept, the writing is awesome and the game is charming overall. Hope I can find the chicken nuggets if you guys finish the game :D!
Aug 14 05:25:25	10m 36s	Meteor Shower	♥ 0	Got 1661 at my second try. I didn't really understand why the game ended, I don't think I was hit, and I also didn't fall. The game is simple but it's fun. The meteors are too hard to see though (maybe I was hit?), and I agree that something should show where they are going to fall. It's okay to be random, but I think it's unfair if you have no chance to react. I know you didn't make the music, but great choice, fits well in the game. The character is also cute.
Aug 14 05:33:46	8m 21s	Wackages	♥ 1	Cool game. The concept is really cool, and the parcels do sometimes fall neatly into the shelves, I like it. The graphics are also good, kinda funny/cartoonish, fits well the style of the game. Given the arena, the music fits too. It does get frustrating when the walls are too high, but I guess that is the idea. I also didn't find any use for the dash (it's not really faster than walking I think), it would be cool if it did something to the parcels too.
Aug 14 05:43:44	9m 58s	Finger Noodles	♥ 2	The game is great! I do think you can't really recognize all the keys at the same time. I tried to lift some just to test and the game didn't care. But the concept is awesome, and I guess it's kinda okay if you don't cheat yourself. Really innovative, the art is simple but really charming, the music is cool, there are funny comments at the side. The game fits together really nicely, it would be great in a suite of party games or something like that. Also, different but perfect take on the theme.
Aug 14 05:58:21	14m 37s	Flesh Packer	♥ 1	It's funny, both the concept and the texts when looking/interacting with things... although it is somewhat disturbing haha. I really like the drawings too.
Aug 14 06:26:51	28m 30s	Save the Tomatoes!	♥ 2	I loved it. The graphics remind me of harvest moon snes/FomT, and I really like these type of games. The gameplay is also unique but quite addicting, I lost quite some time playing this. I retried the stage below a lot of times, but I can't seem to stop the vines. I'm not sure what I should do, I realized that depending on the way you cut them they grow in different directions, but I didn't know how to exploit that. sstomatoes.png Anyway, really lovely game. Oh, and the music, did you guys make the music? Used some kind of program? While I find most of the music made for jam somewhat annoying after some time, this one is incredibly relaxing and the game is still in background playing the music. The only downside I can think of, is that sometimes to clean all the weeds you just need a lot of time. The game loses some of it's puzzle aspect, and it's just you going from one side to the other cleaning the weeds faster than they can grow, but still slowly. I did like the idea of an "extra" achievement though, so I don't have any suggestions on how to improve it. And again, the game is awesome. Hope there is an version with a more gradual difficult curve later.
Aug 14 17:34:24	11h 07m	TheFruityEscape	♥ 0	Hey, I think you can host the source code on itch.io too. Way better than mediafire. Can't help you with the building part since I don't have it too. I agree with the other comment, try to find some other engine. Unity is also friendly (but less than gamemaker I think), but you can build for free. There are tons of others, but mostly are not as newbie friendly. Congratulation on finishing it anyway! Hope you sort this out!
Aug 14 18:53:59	1h 19m	Six Spaces	♥ 1	Oh, the game is quite cute. The graphics are good and the ending is heartwarming (also, beautifully drawn). I liked the puzzle solving involved in it too. I like the different take on the theme.
Aug 14 19:06:13	12m 14s	No Room!	♥ 1	I played for quite some time until a runtime error appeared. But I really liked the game. Honestly I just respawn until I get a God t-shirt, and then I'm too OP and I kill every monster (until I need to get another chest). I like the concept, love that you put the source code at github too and it's your own engine!
Aug 14 19:12:18	6m 05s	SAVE THE PICKLE	♥ 2	Hey, I didn't rate yet since I didn't understand how to play. I planted all the things, and then I waited and nothing happened. What should I do? I think you should put a tutorial here, apparently I can attack things but there are no controls anywhere (and nothing appeared to attack).
Aug 14 19:20:25	8m 07s	Don´t Hit The Ducks!	♥ 0	I like that you don't kill the animals in this one :D. I agree with everybody that the recoil after the shot is not cool, makes it too random. I also could get a "high" (192) score by just click crazily at the top of the screen. Maybe put more ducks there to avoid cheesing or limit the cursor area. Nevertheless, cool idea, gameplay, graphics, music, sound, animations. It's all very well done and polished, great job!
Aug 14 19:33:07	12m 42s	Slime Sweeper	♥ 2	I like it, got a score of 70. I'm not sure what's the losing condition, I guess having too many slimes? Anyway, really liked the game. The idea is very clever, the graphics are cute and everything fits well together. The music sets a cool futuristic tone I would say. I also had the same problem with not understanding it's turn based, but after getting it the game is really fun.
Aug 14 20:20:52	47m 45s	Spacetime Landlord Tycoon	♥ 5	I love it. I really miss those tycoon type of games, it's somewhat rare for me to see them nowadays. It's great how you guys did it for a jam since it's well polished. The voices are quite cool and funny, as are the descriptions. I got a lot of people in my house. Two people left and killed (literally killed D:?) two other people. Another one turned into a ghost. But I was somewhat managing it, some people were extremely happy, others not so much. I think I could perfect the schedule if I wanted to. Also, the zombie is cool.
Aug 14 20:38:31	17m 39s	Hose Moose	♥ 0	I liked it, but I found it too hard. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but the fire spread too fast and you extinguish them too slowly. Great graphics and music btw. I agree that it would be cool to know when the fire was extinguished too.
Aug 14 20:45:26	6m 55s	Onion Ring	♥ 2	The game bugged after my first playthrough, and I didn't seem to hit the other guy or hold my ground anymore. I restarted and everything worked fine again. The game is really professional, well polished for a game jam. Great job!
Aug 14 21:02:32	17m 06s	Will Survive	♥ 3	Glad to see a great game made by a team with some brazilians! Funny thing, we thought about the same concept at first too, but in a 3D game (somewhat borrowed from don't starve mechanic). But since we would probably use free assets, it would look like any generic survivor horror game. But you guys did it in 2D, well drawn, with some cool introduction and the experience fits together really nicely! Charming game. I do agree that it doesn't pay off to win. It would be cool some ending scene too. But great game!
Aug 15 19:26:41	22h 24m	Pre Alpha Build	♥ 2	This game is really good! Good music, graphics, and the concept is quite fun. Honestly I would like to know what each thing does, although I have some guesses. I don't know what the lab does, and I couldn't get enough metal. At the same time, the wall which should be really cheap is really hard to build given the cost. But awesome game, with an upgrade system it would be a joy to play.
Aug 15 20:08:45	42m 04s	Unfamiliar	♥ 2	I'm not sure if I wanted to play it, it's fucking sad. I'm not sure if this is a realistic portrait, but looks like so. Hope I don't find any relatives in this situation. I think it has nothing to do with the theme, but this game is perfect in everything else. Thanks for this, I just want to go hug my mother now.
Aug 15 20:24:28	15m 43s	EVOLUTION	♥ 1	I really like it, it's very polished, specially for a compo game made by one person. Deeply disturbing, but we are going down that path anyway. I don't think this game is fun, and I don't think it's supposed to be.
Sep 3 18:23:15	453h 58m	Blocks	♥ 1	I liked it! The concept is really cool and it's well made. The sounds are good, it's well polished. Just the gravity, I thought it was kind of wonky, but maybe I just need to get used to it. Great job!
Sep 3 18:27:18	4m 03s	crushED	♥ 1	I liked the tetris one! I think the game would be better if it were just variations of that scenario. The music and graphics were good, it's just that the 3 stages are too short. But I liked the tetris idea!
