| Dec 5 21:17:49 | In the name of Spaghetti | ♥ 3 | oof.jpg Hey, great game! Had a great time trying to win my soul back from the Spaghetti Monster! 😃 I loved the stealth mechanics with the red death tiles, and great work on getting them to chase you at the end - it was really funny and scary at the same time as they came in on you. 😆 One thing that could be improved for flavour would be some more dialogue from the Spaghetti Monster, it could be a few bits of random dialogue from him between picking levels, this would be great for world-feel. For future development, maybe adding a few variation to the security types, different uniforms/faces graphically or maybe even walking patrols mechanically would go a long way to adding more variety to the game. On [behalf of our team](https://discord.whalesandgames.com/) thank you for making this game it was a pleasure to play! 😋 | |
| Dec 8 00:48:29 | 51h 30m | Death and Taxes (you can't escape) | ♥ 0 | Hey great game - I had a blast playing it! 😄 I loved the zombie enemies and the wall climb ability, they were really cool! Also great interpretation of the 'Sacrifices must be made' theme. 🤔 zombie.jpg In terms of how the game could be updated, it would be nice to possibly have more obstacles which would try to stop you - Maybe giant zombie hands coming up from the ground? Zombie goo dripping down? With longer development goals, the story could be expanded to encorporate the story of death and taxes more, as well as the addition of more zombies along the way. Maybe with we could see the actual tax man? 💰 From [my team](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thank you for making this game - It was a pleasure to play and I wish you the best in further development! |
| Dec 9 17:50:08 | 41h 01m | Sacrificial Idiots | ♥ 1 | Hey, great entry - This was a pretty fun game to play! I loved managing the food bars - As well as picking who to get rid of, depending on how much food they had - it was pretty chaotic and fitting of the "sacrifices have to be made" theme! Screenshot_6.jpg I finally died on day 97 with the "get rid of the hungry people" tactic 😋 For how to improve the game slightly, maybe having a list of the people who have died? It would be funny to see how many people I went through and sacrificed to keep "the group" alive 😆 With expanding it further, giving visible effects of health and hunger to each of the characters would have really been good for game polish, stuff like them looking worse for wear when they're really low - (it was also make it easier to know which ones to sacrifice 😏) It would have been neat with a "heal" mechanic too similar to the "feed" one by using a medicine resource - This would be an improvement on the original system of saying "You found a medkit" and applying it when it could actually instead be individually used and ransacked by bandits! 🏚 Along with [my team](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thank you for making this! It's a really good game 👍 |
| Dec 9 19:29:00 | 1h 38m | Demon Queen's Possessions | ♥ 1 | Wow this was a great game - Honestly had a blast playing! 😄 I loved how you encorporated the sacrifice mechanic into the game, and all the different creatures having different abilities.. It's really well thought out and interesting! Untitled.png Managed to get to level 14 in my multiple runs - But I could easily play on and get a higher score 😋 For a quick improvement on the game, possibly having different scenery would be better - just going on the single grass and dirt track did get a little stale, these maybe could be dependant on what creatures spawn? Mountains for Goblins, Castle Town for Knights and Guards etc? For a bigger update, it would be cool to some cosmetic choice for the witch. It would be fun getting achievement checkpoints such as 5, 10, 15 etc and getting a new hat for her to wear 😋 Regardless, big thanks from [our team](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames), you've made a game really worth playing! 😄 |
| Dec 12 19:22:59 | 71h 53m | SacrificeSimulator2018 | ♥ 1 | Hey, great game just had a play! I loved the combination mechanic, it was unique using the finite state machines for the sacrifice recipes! Also the devil design kind of reminded me of nigel thornberry 😋 Screenshot_9.jpg the_wild_thornberrys.nigel_thornberry.jpg Screenshot_8.jpg My highest score was 180 on Easy mode One quick improvement for the game would be possibly some kind of score screen? It was pretty jarring going straight to the main menu when I died and not seeing my score. For a bigger update, possibly having more indication of what elements attack each other - such as creating the opposite of what creature represents, war for the dove.. demon for the angel.. reaper for the child? It would make more sense than electricity, fireball and poison but maybe that's just me? Thanks for making this game, and on behalf of [my team](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thank you for making this, it was fun! 👍 |
| Dec 31 16:36:07 | 453h 13m | Elektrix | ♥ 2 | Hey nice game, I played in my stream 😮 I liked shooting the ghosts, and the enviroment was really spooky! Untitled.png During the playthrough I got abit confused on what to do, so I just shot ghosts sorry 😅 A possible quick fix would be highlighting that I needed to find the battery in game, so I could have understood what to do easier - although I should have just read the description more closely 😭 For a bigger update, possibly having more mecahnics that use electricity, a dash or maybe even charging up a shot to fire (big radius, piercing etc) 😋 From us at [Whale and Games](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thanks for making this game, it was fun! 😄 |
| Dec 31 17:24:03 | 47m 56s | We Were 5 | ♥ 1 | Hey I played this on stream it was really fun! The story and atmosphere was amazing, and oh man - The guitar riff when the beast comes was insanely scary 😮 It's very well made, and the pictures were not too intrusive and just added to the text adventure experience. Untitled.png One thing I would add would be a couple of more actions to choose between the 5 people, mostly it just boiled down to 2 actions even though there were 5 people with 5 potential outcomes (Probably scope) 😋 Screenshot_1.jpg Screenshot_3.jpg For longer term, the story could be easily expanded to have creepier consequences for your sacrifices - Showing dismembered parts of fellow team members for example.. Either way, honestly a pleasure to play, from my team at [Whales and Games](https://discordapp.com/invite/whalesandgames) thank you for a great experience! 😄 |
| Dec 31 17:59:16 | 35m 13s | Doki Doki no Artichokie | ♥ 0 | Hey nice game, I played this on my stream! I like how you did the sacrifice mechanic, it had great implementation and really fit with the theme! 😄 Untitled.png The mushrooom guys were pretty cool too! 😋 A quick change I would add would be more detailed powerup images or even text - It was hard understanding what each did until I already made the decision. For a more long term update, different map variation/s could be nice - Seeing green all the time did get a little stale, although maybe that would have been too much for the scope of the jam. From us at [Whales and Games](https://twitter.com/WhalesAndGames) thanks for the game, it was a great play 👍 |
| Dec 31 19:59:54 | 2h 00m | The lesser teeth, the better you'll breathe | ♥ 0 | Hey I just played the game, it's pretty interesting 😅 Screenshot_4.jpg The asylum concept was really cool, and I loved the vibe! Picking to sacrifice movement keys was a really interesting concept, great for the theme! 👍 A quick fix I would add though would be some kind of marker to show how close you are to finishing? As for a bigger update, having animations such as teeth being pulled out could add alot more polish to the game 😋 From us at [Whales and Games](https://twitter.com/WhalesAndGames) Thanks for a fun entry! |
