| Dec 5 20:35:16 | 101 Ways to Die in Alpha Complex | ♥ 1 | Not sure if it's a bug or if I'm missing something but I can't seem to give the cake to anyone (I assume it was for the purple one but I think I tried everyone several times with no results). | |
| Dec 5 21:23:12 | 47m 56s | F.O.U.R. | ♥ 1 | That was a fun little adventure game, I really want to make one myself one day. I thought it was going to be about sacrificing your morals (which is also is, I guess) but it went a little darker than that :P. Took a little while before I discovered how to use the inventory but other than that it went pretty smooth. |
| Dec 5 22:03:45 | 40m 33s | Slimy abilities | ♥ 1 | Congrats on your first Jam! Has some kinks to work out, most issues I had with it has been mentioned by others. But it controls and feels better than many platformers you see during, jams. You can dash and get stuck in walls sometimes but for the most part I had no problem with collision. Final advice, get a sound generator (like bfxr) and always add basic sounds, at least for player actions (jump, shoot, dash). It makes a big difference. |
| Dec 5 22:20:21 | 16m 36s | For Brain ! | ♥ 1 | Nice take on the theme! Jump feels a bit floaty and and the "jump cancel" (after you release the button) is definitely too sudden. Still I enjoyed playing it and wish there were a couple more levels. Music was kick-ass too. |
| Dec 5 23:23:21 | 1h 03m | Vikrifice | ♥ 3 | This is really well made and polished. Level design is great and it switches things up with stuff like taking away your double jump when carrying the sacrifices. At times though, the game feels a bit too slow paced for my taste and the music, while fitting, gets a bit grating after a while. Overall a great entry! |
| Dec 5 23:51:58 | 28m 37s | Aetherspirit | ♥ 1 | Great stuff! Concept is really cool and can definitely be expanded on. I love how you gave all characters some personality, especially with the music changes. |
| Dec 6 02:39:28 | 2h 47m | Food Chain | ♥ 2 | This was a great little puzzle game! Concept feels pretty original. Art is cute and music fits great too. Would probably make a great mobile game. Definitely see potential here. |
| Dec 6 02:50:41 | 11m 13s | Throwing Shade | ♥ 1 | Yeah, collision is pretty buggy but I kept playing till the end because the art and music was charming. |
| Dec 6 03:18:33 | 27m 52s | Ursa | ♥ 5 | Cute! Controls do need to be tightened up a bit. Love the music and mood. |
| Dec 6 03:40:44 | 22m 11s | Lava King | ♥ 1 | Simple but pretty fun arcade style game. Made it over 200 :). |
| Dec 6 04:10:16 | 29m 32s | Grandma to hell | ♥ 1 | Lol, interesting take on the theme. I think picking up and putting down could be done with the same button to streamline the controls a bit. You really need some feedback for the burns too. Where is the music from? It made the game so much more enjoyable. Had a fun time! |
| Dec 6 04:55:21 | 45m 05s | Cultists vs Demons | ♥ 1 | Although combat isn't super engaging at the moment you have a nice base here. I wish there was some downside to sacrificing because there doesn't seem to be a reason not do it to at the moment. I'd probably add some goal you have to reach before being able to exit as well. Graphics are simple but nice and consistent, I like the pallet too. I always give this advice when it comes to sound: Get a sound generator (like BFXR) and just spend like 20-30 minutes adding basic sounds. It adds so much to an entry just to have some audio feedback for things. Congrats on finishing your first game! |
| Dec 6 05:39:38 | 44m 17s | God of the Well | ♥ 2 | You've got a nice little metroidvania upgrade system going. I like the design of the main character and some of the animations were really fluid. The biggest problem with the game is that going back and forth through the same area picking up the same creatures multiple times gets tedious fast. It would've been better to spread them out and have you explore more and maybe have some more platforming challenges. Also a tip when exporting from Gamemaker (at least when it comes to jam games). Choose "single runtime executable" instead of "windows installer" so people can just run the .exe file directly and not have to bother with an installer. Edit: Just wanted to add, the little cutscenes were a nice touch. |
| Dec 6 06:46:39 | 1h 07m | Mary had some lamb to spare | ♥ 1 | Nice, I enjoyed it. Art is nice and the music too, I only wish there were some sound effects (imagine all the baaaahs you could add :P). Feels pretty polished and has quite a lot of content. Great entry! |
| Dec 6 07:29:37 | 42m 58s | Oregon Tail | ♥ 1 | That was pretty charming. Managed to beat it on my first try and avoid both cholera and dysentery. Are the encounters preset or are there other random ones? |
| Dec 6 07:37:03 | 7m 26s | Lighter Than Air | ♥ 2 | Excellent and nice take on the theme! Looks, sounds and plays great and feels overall really polished! |
| Dec 6 18:21:11 | 10h 44m | Diortem | ♥ 1 | Cool stuff! Feels really solid to play, graphics are nice and all the sound effects are fitting and give good feedback. I did find myself running in circles a bit, a map might've helped or maybe some more direction. I think the enemies should be fewer but more aggressive. Right now you have to get really close before they even do anything so I just picked them off from afar pretty much which is kinda boring. Also as some have mentioned there are a few too many upgrades that don't feel necessary (or that I didn't even knew I had). I didn't feel I gave up anything by sacrificing them. |
| Dec 6 19:11:33 | 50m 22s | RAT LABS | ♥ 1 | There is definitely something here, I just wish I had time and patience to get into it more. Well, at least I took some photos of some burned rats :P. Really ambitious stuff but it probably needs more ingame instructions and streamlined controls. |
| Dec 6 19:34:22 | 22m 49s | The Exchange | ♥ 0 | The writing is great! Concept is neat too and I like the idea of cards representing items. Would be interesting to see where this could go. |
| Dec 6 20:06:34 | 32m 12s | Scapegoat | ♥ 1 | Lovely! Graphics and sound are great and really polished. Love the goat carrying animation, it looks so annoyed :P. |
| Dec 6 22:01:06 | 1h 54m | Melon Squad | ♥ 1 | It's good, just maybe a bit too hard, especially in the beginning. I think the melons have a bit too much momentum but other than that the controls were fine. Graphics and sounds are nice and polished. It will probably frustrate a lot of people (me included) but it's a great rage game if you're into that :P. I did still play up to level 4 or 5 I think. |
| Dec 6 22:14:15 | 13m 09s | Eradicator | ♥ 1 | Cool stuff! I wish the gameplay would switch up a bit somehow but otherwise it's really polished and has a lot of style. Giving names to the victims in the end was a nice touch (but why was an 8 year old homeless person a target???). |
| Dec 6 22:26:19 | 12m 04s | Tendie Revengie | ♥ 1 | This was great! The cutout style works great and the perspective switching caught me off guard and was a really pleasant surprise. I lost it when he brought out the katana, lol. |
| Dec 7 00:07:26 | 1h 41m | Shepherd Sacrifice | ♥ 1 | Not too much here but this was worth playing for the song alone :) |
| Dec 7 12:01:39 | 11h 54m | Pew! Pew! | ♥ 0 | Jam space shooters are typically pretty bland but this one was really nice. Graphics are simple but stylized, polished and work really well. Same with the sound, everything has good feedback and sounds that fit perfectly. Solid entry overall! |
| Dec 7 12:14:02 | 12m 23s | Labrats | ♥ 1 | That was great! Really interesting puzzle game and I love the little narrative that doubles as tutorial. |
| Dec 7 12:51:51 | 37m 49s | Expendabots | ♥ 1 | Might be my favorite entry so far. Great concept and puzzles, lots of content and everything is really polished. |
| Dec 7 17:55:55 | 5h 04m | Slime MUST Survive | ♥ 1 | The intro was great! I finally got through it in about 100 deaths but I was pretty close to rage quitting at times. Hard platformers are fine but this could do with a bit more generous hitbox. Also having to guess which rock had the cookie behind it was not fun. |
| Dec 7 18:11:28 | 15m 33s | Trolleys: A Moral Quandary | ♥ 1 | The idea is neat and perfect for the theme. Graphics and sounds are polished and work well although the lightning effect was a bit distracting. I'd probably slow down the gameplay a bit. Right now I didn't feel like I had time to know what impact my choices would have and felt like it was mostly luck whether people would get run over or not. |
| Dec 7 18:40:13 | 28m 45s | Trahere | ♥ 2 | Art direction is really damn cool. It seems just devouring was the most effective method but I had fun raising a bunch of devout subjects and making abominations of their sacrifices. Great entry! |
| Dec 7 19:01:16 | 21m 03s | Tower of Sacrifice | ♥ 1 | Solid little dungeon crawler. Sprites are nice although I assume you didn't finish the big guys attack animation. At least you can see the hitbox for the attack. Sounds are fitting and give good feedback, only thing lacking is a little music. |
| Dec 7 19:26:13 | 24m 57s | On a Cultist hill | ♥ 1 | Really cool and unique game! I love how it switches things up as you progress. Like the experimental visuals too as you descend into madness. |
| Dec 7 19:45:49 | 19m 36s | DerpSpace | ♥ 1 | I like the little dialogue phrases the astronauts have. Overall a really nice solid entry. |
| Dec 7 21:07:10 | 1h 21m | The Greater Evil | ♥ 0 | Looks and sounds great! It's a bit too difficult though, it's not really clear how close you can get to the priests. |
| Dec 7 21:15:10 | 8m 00s | Glow It Alone | ♥ 2 | Nice and moody! Looks and sounds and feels good to play. Only wish there was some more of it. |
| Dec 7 21:23:50 | 8m 40s | No Step Back | ♥ 2 | Interesting concept and take on the theme! I ended up just focusing on a single soldier to make it through. Sacrifices were made. |
| Dec 7 21:59:29 | 35m 39s | Nature is Harsh | ♥ 1 | Loved it! Cool idea and great execution with a lot of polish. The documentary voice over was a nice touch :D. |
| Dec 7 23:14:39 | 1h 15m | Dilemma | ♥ 1 | Not too much gameplay here but I liked the music (reminded me of Nemo the Dream master). |
| Dec 7 23:26:10 | 11m 31s | GameDev Sacrifices | ♥ 3 | Lol, lost the game when I chose things based on my own jam experiences. Maybe I need to rethink some stuff :D. Really like the art and sound. Concept is neat but I wish there was a little more depth to the game. |
| Dec 7 23:42:02 | 15m 52s | Like Father, Like Son | ♥ 1 | Ooh I also made a game about butterflies (very different though). You clearly spent a lot of time thinking about this but yeah, you never have enough time during jams to do everything you want. Are you planning to continue working on it? The metaphoric take is an interesting one. |
| Dec 8 00:03:17 | 21m 15s | Offerlings | ♥ 0 | Well, I didn't think I'd be intensely looking for a creature's jiggeling butt cheecks today but.. you know.. sacrifices had to be made. Voice over was great! |
