Aug 14 18:11:35 Upwards ♥ 1 This game is pretty fun! I like challenging arcade games like this, and I like how this games difficulty builds up over time in a natural curve. It feels very responsive which is nice! I like your menu page too!
Aug 14 18:17:32 5m 57s Blacking out of Whiteness ♥ 0 I like the effect of the spray, it looks really nice. The game feels really responsive which is good. I had fun running around in the game for awhile. I didn't feel like I fully understood what I was doing but I had a good time doing it.
Aug 14 18:24:46 7m 14s Gravity Hook ♥ 1 I really enjoyed this game! The grappling hook in space feels so satisfying, and the difficulty is just right for me. Getting some of those keys was tough! It always felt good to finish each level. Fantastic job!
Aug 14 18:30:24 5m 38s Compress Chaos ♥ 1 The game is really fun, but having to restart from the beginning feels bad. I enjoyed playing it though, and did finally manage to beat all the levels. =)
Aug 14 19:23:38 53m 14s Character Assassin ♥ 1 Wow, what an awesome idea for the jam. The theme is really strong, and the multiplayer element is really smart.
Aug 14 19:42:16 18m 38s Laser Racer ♥ 1 The game was pretty cool. I liked the art, especially the character. It was really challenging, but in a good way! Great job.
Aug 14 19:48:57 6m 41s Mini Organizer 3000 ♥ 1 I enjoy sokoban games so this one was fun for me :) Puzzle games are my favorite. I liked the simplistic art style, it was really effective for the game, and this is a nice variation on the stereotypical sokoban style. I like how you have to manage the different block mechanics together.
Aug 14 19:52:26 3m 29s Deadly Delivery ♥ 0 I like this game a lot! The game feels really nice. The smooth movements in a grid based game were a nice touch. My only gripe would be that moving quickly made it kind of hard to tell where you would end up, since the movement is semi-fluid. Overall I really enjoyed it!
Aug 14 20:01:34 9m 08s LimitedActions ♥ 1 I like that you decided to add dialog to this game. It makes the game a lot stronger. Overall it was fun, although the speed level was quite challenging.
Aug 15 01:51:19 5h 49m Running Out from space to Live ♥ 1 Fun! The double jump physics feel really nice. It felt a little like a rhythm game, learning patterns and improving each time I played. I did get to a point where the big pacman got stuck on the wall behind me after I escaped through the door, and I wasnt sure if the game ended or if it was a glitch. Love the music too! Nice work!
Aug 15 01:57:49 6m 30s Leave me alone ♥ 1 Cool idea! The camera jerking between turns was jarring. If it was a smooth transition that would help a lot. I like that it can be played entirely with mouse only. Nice low poly look, and fits the theme very well!
Aug 15 02:04:06 6m 17s CowHerd - machine trained cows ♥ 2 The visuals are wonderful, and I love the machine learning aspect to this game. It was fun to watch the ragdoll physics and look at the beautiful environments. But (and this may be very intentional) I wished there was more of a structure or clear goal/win condition. I know the goal is to get the cows to grass, but there isn't much feedback on progress. However, an interesting and fun playground!
Aug 15 02:09:54 5m 48s Space Defender ♥ 1 Cool game! I think the art of the blocks, the music, and sound effects jive well together. I found the movement controls sluggish, though.
Aug 15 02:14:15 4m 21s Space, Space and Space ♥ 1 Simple, fun, and satisfying! Very nice work, and fits the theme perfectly!
Aug 15 02:17:03 2m 48s Tetris with Physics ♥ 0 Fun and interesting idea! I like how you can nudge the previous pieces with your current piece to correct past mistakes on easy mode. Great work!
Aug 15 02:23:03 6m 00s Extra Trash ♥ 1 Wow, excellent job! Love the trippy visuals of rockets and debris floating all around the globe. Really cool distance blur effect. Also found the twitter feed quite entertaining. Fun and fits the theme too! My only nitpick is the How To screen is a little overwhelming.
Aug 15 02:32:15 9m 12s Little Planet ♥ 1 Cool idea! It was satisfying to balance cleaning the waste and building turrets. I like the art and the sound design. Nice work!
Aug 15 03:37:06 1h 04m FIND - A - MOLE ♥ 1 Very cute game! I like the art style and the simplicity of the gameplay. It is a bit of a finger twister, but it seems intended. Good work!
Aug 15 03:42:35 5m 29s 2058, A parking Lot in Space ♥ 1 Good job, nice double use of the theme "Parking spaces in space". I like the spinning animation with the black hole (frustrating in a good way :) )
Aug 15 04:15:50 33m 15s Kingdoms Fall ♥ 3 Great game. It was a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of the strategy I was grouping my characters together to optimize the defense score and I was grabbing crystal tiles whenever I could so I could spawn more wizards. There were an awkward few turns where the map was split in 2 pieces, but after that I found and opening and rushed in for the win. It had an impressive amount of polish for a game jam game. I'd be curious to hear more details about how you used blockchain for the AI. If you're so inclined please send me an email at apc1993@gmail.com
Aug 15 04:30:57 15m 07s The Curse ♥ 0 I couldn't get my character to move :'(, I tried arrow keys, Q,D, and clicking everywhere. I thought the detail of applying the fire glow to the robed guy was cool though
Aug 16 17:06:37 36h 35m Forklift Frenzy ♥ 1 This game is really nice! It plays great, the forklift controls great, I love the simple gameplay loop, and keeping everything organized on the floor is satisfying. The movement of the forklift kind of reminds me of playing Stephen's sausage roll, especially when the floor fills up, because controlling the forklift well becomes super important at that point. This was a great entry! Nicely done!
Aug 16 17:23:16 16m 39s Spaceabon ♥ 1 Wow this game is great. It gets really tough really fast. The only thing that irked me during the game was when I'd be happily moving a block along and one would just spawn right next to another of the same color and all of a sudden I couldn't move that way anymore. Other than that I think it was great. I love how brain burn-y it gets when there are lots of blocks on the screen. So much fun, fantastic job.
Aug 16 17:27:19 4m 03s Space Golf ♥ 0 I'm really bummed I couldn't seem to get this game to work for me. The clicking seemed only to make planets randomly. I would click and hold sometimes and nothing would happen, other times a planet would start increasing in size when I let go and I couldn't get it to stop. I do still like the idea of this game, and I'll try playing it again soon, to see if I can get it working.
Aug 16 17:30:58 3m 39s Closing In ♥ 0 This was pretty fun. I like the idea of the boost rings helping you get further. I think the walls close in a little too fast though, it makes runs fairly short. I think if the runs were a bit longer and the number of obstacles increased over time it could be even more satisfying. I felt like the difficulty wasn't really increasing, but maybe that was a design choice.
Aug 16 17:42:20 11m 22s DWN ♥ 1 Clever game! Really made me want to go back and play Papers Please again. Only critique would be that I think the game flow would feel better if you checked all the packages first, then put them on all on the truck. Putting the packages on the truck really disturbs the flow of the checking packages bit and makes it feel slower paced. Overall I enjoyed it quite a bit. Nice submission!
Aug 16 17:44:26 2m 06s Prime Planets ♥ 1 Wow, being a math/physics guy I can tell you I loved this game! I would love even more to play against someone else rather than the computer. What a clever game. Awesome job.
Aug 17 05:55:32 12h 11m Mars Web ♥ 0 Lots of fun! Really neat submission. I enjoy rabbit hole ARGs like these. My only gripe is that for one of the bits of the puzzle (trying to avoid spoilers here) you have to actually have a twitter account so I had to make one just to finish the puzzle. Otherwise a fun experience! 059x894
Aug 18 04:56:37 23h 01m Build Build Build! ♥ 1 Nice Game, it looks like you have a pretty good foundation, I was happy to see that you're going to keep working on it. I think adding some transparency to the description boxes and also adding some background to the stats UI would make the game look a lot more polished. You can update the description boxes by deleting the edges of the art in a photo editor and then setting the material to cutout mode within unity.
Aug 18 05:09:18 12m 41s The Jaws Of This World ♥ 1 It's very polished. I noticed several areas that you put extra effort into (like the screen shake in the beginning, and the use of shaders for lighting and black outlines). I'll checkout the post compo version as well to see what you've added.
