| Dec 4 03:39:41 | Noah's Balloon | ♥ 3 | Really cute game, love the style! Both the banjo music and the voice clips are fun. The mechanics are interesting, but the levels seem like they need further tweaking. The first level was beginner friendly as expected, then the second level seemed like a death trap at every turn. Otherwise the game seems very well polished for a jam. | |
| Dec 4 03:50:36 | 10m 55s | Göldin | ♥ 1 | Using letter keys like that is an interesting mechanism. The art style is kind of neat. It looks like a dressed up version of a kids drawing. The audio is pleasantly suitable. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like there's much gameplay yet. It's also confusing what to do as they all seem to light up a torch eventually. Overall, nice job on trying some unusual game mechanics! |
| Dec 4 04:13:02 | 22m 26s | Sacrificio Inc. | ♥ 3 | This game is amazingly polished for a weekend! The graphics are sharp and professional looking. The music really suits the subject well. You can't really ask much more out of mood and theme. It does seem to be weak in innovation. It has pretty typical puzzle mechanics, but it's fun none the less. This game is all set for touchscreens, but I'm finding the controls a bit sluggish using a mouse. Still, very impressive overall. |
| Dec 4 14:51:06 | 10h 38m | Demon Rabbit Solitaire | ♥ 1 | Really adorable graphics! The mechanics are really enjoyable and have good replay value. The only obvious issue I saw was being unable to deselect a card. |
| Dec 4 20:12:01 | 5h 20m | Sacrificial City | ♥ 1 | This game has a lot of neat mechanics going on! You don't see many building/simulation games in LD with this much depth. It did seem the economy was a bit too generous, but for game jams, it's better to have an easy game than a hard one. I didn't mind the simple graphics so much, but the UI could have definitely used some work. While the font is nice, a simpler one for the lengthy parts(ie. the instructions) may work better. Music is repetitive, but the sound effects were a decent attempt. Overall, still a great entry, especially for one person. |
| Dec 4 23:58:17 | 3h 46m | Cannibal Town | ♥ 0 | Nice start to a resource simulation game! Unfortunately I couldn't seem to progress much. Not sure if I just wasn't seeing feedback or my people failed to get anything from butchering. The resources numbers never went up. I still really like the mechanics and would love to see it further developed. |
| Dec 5 15:48:14 | 15h 49m | Deity Hook-Up (Not A Romance) | ♥ 1 | Short, but cute. Beautiful graphics, I love the color scheme. I ended up with the "Blessed" ending. |
| Dec 5 16:37:58 | 49m 44s | My Little Daily Sacrifice | ♥ 3 | One of the more complete games I've played this LD. Enjoyable gameplay, but a little grindy towards the end. My main complaint would be the text legibility in the explanation/instructions. It might actually be easier to read if you shrank it down some. |
| Dec 6 00:08:29 | 7h 30m | Celtic Fun | ♥ 0 | Cute graphics and nice music. I was a bit annoyed that I couldn't get an ornament at the top of the tree. |
| Dec 6 13:36:31 | 13h 28m | Wrath Of The Gods | ♥ 1 | It's an interesting idea, but the controls and UI need some work. I think the symbols and recipes need to be permanently listed somewhere. I was really lost on how to sacrifice an animal until the end. I also think the people with requests come and go too quick. Maybe they could speed up later? I do like the idea of the drawing symbols mechanic, but I didn't get a chance to try it out much. Overall, still a lot of polish needed, but a neat and ambitious idea. |
| Dec 6 14:48:35 | 1h 12m | Electric Kaiju | ♥ 0 | The game is impressively complex for a weekend, but that also means it can be a lot for a player to take in. It may help in the instructions to have partial animations of what the attacks do. It was a little confusing on how to cancel attacks. The audio sounds really well made, but it's a little abrasive at times(I might just be sensitive). The visuals are very nice too. This game does have the potential to turn into a really good full fledged game. |
| Dec 6 16:40:12 | 1h 51m | Arden's Artisan Artefacts | ♥ 4 | My favorite game this LD so far. I definitely played it longer than I should have. One issue I had towards the end was a lot of repeat items. It made the last request impossible the first time I played through. It was still enjoyable enough to play through again. Only other thing that bugged was the slow or wonky rotation. Everything else about the game I really loved. screenshot.png |
| Dec 6 18:30:38 | 1h 50m | Prayer for the Dead | ♥ 0 | I tried the HTML version and it does seem fairly buggy. Story text isn't fitting in the screen and couldn't exit menu options. The gameplay could obviously use more depth. The one thing it does have going for it is mood. The visual effects and music help create a somewhat eerie feeling. |
| Dec 7 03:15:56 | 8h 45m | Medic ! | ♥ 0 | I really like the mechanics in this game! Probably the most polished game I've seen this LD. As someone else mentioned, it was hard to see the effects of the upgrades in the First Aid line. I unfortunately did hit a bug in the last round. Left most card wouldn't move after the most recent upgrade(first aid line). So that card was totally unusable in the last round. Still great job on the theme, nice music, and I'm envious of your artist! My score isn't great, but I'm posting a screenshot since it's always nice to see as devs how players are doing.medi_score.jpg |
| Dec 7 21:39:16 | 18h 23m | Head Over Hooves: My Heart Bleats For You | ♥ 2 | Very well written, especially for a weekend! Now I feel like I need a full length goat dating sim. I actually didn't hit any bugs despite playing the earlier game version. I actually enjoyed the Mastermind like mini-game, but obviously that needs more polish. Only thing that bugged me a little is the lack of contrast in the text and text background. Overall very charming game! |
| Dec 9 18:06:39 | 44h 27m | Save the Sheep | ♥ 0 | I like the graphics and the mood set by the music. While it's a very functional game the controls are very clumsy. As someone else mentioned, it would be nice if the sheep would automatically follow the shepherd to some degree. |
| Dec 9 19:43:56 | 1h 37m | Firefighter | ♥ 1 | Simple game, but it covers the theme well. I think the graphics are the strong point. It's a little hard to tell what some things are(ie. the babies), but it's a neat style. The burning sound needs to be broken up or replaced. The constant sound is a little much. Overall a decent effort. |
| Dec 10 13:33:49 | 17h 49m | Gold is Heavy in a Dwarven Satchel | ♥ 1 | Interesting idea. I liked the variety of actions the character could take. The main issue I see with the current setup, is there little reason why someone couldn't just make a path to the end, then grab the gold. I also think it would fit the theme better if you could pick which action to sacrifice. Still a very neat game for a weekend! |
| Dec 11 23:40:16 | 34h 06m | God's Thirst | ♥ 1 | I don't usually care much for pixel art, but this game looks very nice and smooth. The mechanics are simple, but seem to work well for the most part. I wish there was a little more of an indication of when the enemy is about to attack. Also, while it's amusing to "sacrifice" the enemies, I don't feel it fulfills the theme as well as it could. Like there isn't anything you're giving up in gameplay or even story really. Still a nice little game for a weekend. Nice job! |
| Dec 12 18:31:20 | 18h 51m | Humanity Hero | ♥ 2 | The UI is very sharp and professional looking. The characters waving their arms as they move is kind of funny. The audio also sets a suitable mood. The mechanic felt more like a math game than one requiring sacrifice. I did really like the idea though and would like to see it developed further. |
| Dec 12 22:32:52 | 4h 01m | Unicorn Rescue | ♥ 1 | Adorable art style! While the animations look smooth, it looks to me as if the walk animation is backwards. The mechanics are simple, but it could be a good start to something more. |
| Dec 13 19:59:26 | 21h 26m | Scapegoat | ♥ 0 | The game has a very nice mood set to it thanks to the graphics and music. Picking up the goat actually made me sad from the sound effects. I did play the original version rather than the post, so there was issues progressing through the puzzles. The goat wasn't very cooperative, but can't really blame him.... Still, an awesome entry overall. Would love to see more of your group's games in the future. |
| Dec 14 19:45:38 | 23h 46m | A Man and a Dog | ♥ 1 | The art style and mood are very charming! Almost everything feels very well made and thought out. There's something about this game that makes me what to keep going back to find each ending. The good ending I have to say does feel out of place from the other two. Every other path and object seemed far more obvious to interact with than the bat. Also minor, but the movement was a wee bit clunky. Still an awesome game overall! It would be great to see a full length game in this style. |
| Dec 16 15:27:27 | 43h 41m | Sweet Suffering | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately I kept knocking the enemies off screen before I could finish them off. The enemies weren't very threatening either. The characters and audio are interesting at least. Like some other people already said, this could be a good base to build off of, but it needs some work put into it. |
| Dec 18 00:16:31 | 32h 49m | Apothecary | ♥ 0 | Neat concept, but kind of rough execution. Trial and error can be fun to some degree, but it's a bit tedious having to go look back at the book. More visual cues in general would help keep players engaged. |
