| Apr 29 22:00:01 | Money Heist | ♥ 1 | This is a wonderful game, the obstacle course seems quite well designed. only complaint is that it is a bit difficult to tell whats going on when you take a lot of damage at once- your "blood" looks just like your "body" and the center of the screen is a big green blob (although it DOES make reckless heists feel incredibly messy relative to more careful maneouvers, which is cool). | |
| Apr 29 22:26:20 | 26m 19s | Unpredictable dungeon | ♥ 1 | The melee cube enemies are very fast and incredibly difficult to deal with, and it's hard to tell where the doorways are. The guns feel unwieldy too- the lasergun can burn through its magazine in less than 5 seconds, and a missed shot with the sniper rifle makes it hard to handle the deathcubes attacking your kneecaps. It's a great concept for a game though. the random floor layouts work well (although sometimes the exit portal is only one room away from the start), and the pillar enemies are very fun to fight. getting to the end of a dungeon floor feels good. |
| Apr 30 01:46:44 | 3h 20m | Bet on it | ♥ 0 | I don't know how to play poker, but the dialogue and music are great. |
| Apr 30 23:52:56 | 22h 06m | Mahou Shoujo Monster: Promised Fate | ♥ 2 | I like how the deaths in this are handled so lightly. The music grows darker, you vanish suddenly with a splatting noise, and 🐥 dances on. |
| May 1 00:13:28 | 20m 32s | Nein Lifes | ♥ 1 | Its very cool how you changed the sprite with the body parts you lose. Cant seem to get past giant spike pit on 2nd level. |
| May 1 00:29:07 | 15m 39s | Earth External Station 4 | ♥ 0 | Wonderful little text game. Love how everyone seems sleep deprived when you talk to them. I can't seem to figure out what a lot of the game is? I encountered the Akkari and their friend, but beyond that I can't figure out if there's much more to do. |
| May 1 00:52:10 | 23m 03s | bblloodd | ♥ 1 | Screenshot (843).png Oh god i love the dialogue. you are the pronce of the word pond. HP as everything is a very literal take on the theme, and is easy enough to understand. downsides would be how grindy the game seems? it's fun though. |
| May 1 01:01:42 | 9m 32s | Treasure Hunt! | ♥ 2 | A bit tedious to nab the coins, but it looks beautiful, and it's satisfying to pick apart the world. |
| May 1 01:07:44 | 6m 02s | Placeholder_Game_1 | ♥ 1 | The controls seem messed up for me. left clicking around launches me in a random direction, which is (maybe) tied to where im clicking but i can't figure it out. there is nothing that happens when i click the right mouse button. i lasted 7 seconds. |
| May 1 01:23:41 | 15m 57s | Bear of symph | ♥ 1 | you know this does have to do with the theme if you think about it hard enough. for a game with absolutely no instruction beyond "press buttons youll figure it out", bear of symph does a great job of teaching you how to play without telling you. I enjoyed it a lot. The audio does not seem to loop. |
| May 1 01:44:45 | 21m 04s | The upside(down) | ♥ 0 | Enjoyable game. short, but full of clever bits. Was a bit difficult to understand the skin purchase page. |
| May 1 02:18:15 | 33m 30s | RogueLife | ♥ 1 | "Green eyeball" is mispelled as "gren eyeball", and trading things besides my own life doesn't seem to remove them from my inventory? Love the games aesthetic, it's beautiful. Humanity is for the weak. |
| May 1 02:37:13 | 18m 58s | Perfect Date | ♥ 1 | short, but funny. the art is good. The menus were a laugh to read through. |
| May 1 03:56:05 | 1h 18m | Maeko's Memories | ♥ 0 | I've enjoyed this game so far. The artstyle combined with the music give it the odd combination of being both moody and colorful, and everything looks really beautiful. I say "so far" because I can't seem to progress past this point, as choosing dialogue options will only reload the same set of options.Screenshot (845).png this is on the downloadable windows version- i couldn't get the HTML version to load in my browser. if this is something y'all have already fixed, sorry for redundant report. :P (Post edit): i like the game so far! It was mysterious trying to figure out who i am without memories, and it was nice having at least a little bit of identity left. Avi is a good bean and im sorry for forgetting them. I havent looked at all the lost memories yet, but the ones ive seen so far have filled in lots of holes in my backstory while still leaving enough mystery. |
| May 1 22:13:56 | 18h 17m | Sweat Shop | ♥ 1 | Love the graphics, and the mechanics seem pretty creative. Minor, non-gamebreaking glitch:Screenshot (846).png Stretching the block to cover your legs prevents you from moving, but you can just shrink it back down. Also can't seem to get past the ATM tutorial puzzle. I'm too old, and it won't make me young again. |
| May 2 04:23:16 | 6h 09m | Space Rescue | ♥ 2 | I love the mechanics. placing traps and guns everywhere was fun. love the soul icon. It was very difficult to place traps without them immedately catching me, though, and i kind of wish i could rotate the camera when the gun is not selected. |
| May 2 04:29:50 | 6m 34s | Deterring Delinquents from a Dragon's Dwelling | ♥ 1 | Oh No. The ui was difficult to read, but endearing. handdrawing everything was unique. The sound effects were the same way- I love that the dragon just says "oh no" when people steal his stuff. |
| May 3 23:56:13 | 43h 26m | A Deal on the Moon | ♥ 1 | Very flavorful. I feel bad for all the moon frogs I killed. Kind of wish it had been longer, but it's understandable given the time constraints, and what you have really works well. |
| May 4 00:02:08 | 5m 55s | Welcome To The Machine | ♥ 2 | it's difficult to figure out whats going on (at first). I accidentally killed a man because i didn't know how else to progress? which was alright i guess. and then i accidentally revolted because i wanted to explore. There's a lot of good stuff here, but it shows up when it's not expected. The graphics are really intresting though! i liked seeing the little mysterious tents and bridges. |
| May 4 00:14:03 | 11m 55s | Mr. Lootbox | ♥ 1 | Hard, but fun. having the eyes of mr lootbox face the direction i move in was a nice touch. |
| May 4 00:26:15 | 12m 12s | Gaming for Life | ♥ 1 | I can't seem to find the gamestop. :p Also there are some spots where you can get in loops of being punched by bullies? They are escapable, but quite annoying. Aside from those two things I LOVE THE MECHANICS. This game does a good job of trying to make me manage my resources. do i buy candy, or hope i can avoid bullies? do i go the long way and drop some money, or do i go through enemies who will steal it? |
| May 4 00:54:09 | 27m 54s | Arrow of Light | ♥ 3 | There's a lot to say about this game. I'm a big fan of the music, its the right mix of campy and unnerving and is really fitting for the game. Also i can shoot fireballs. As in, i cannot launch them, but i can kill them with my arrows. thank you for letting me be stronger than the flames. |
| May 4 01:09:40 | 15m 31s | Battin' Bats | ♥ 0 | I love the speedometer! Didn't really see much need for the powerups, but it's a clever way to include the theme. |
| May 4 01:23:45 | 14m 05s | Escape from the Bank | ♥ 1 | really fun. I liked that you could conserve your COINFRIENDS by letting your momentum carry you through longer passages instead of keeping the arrows held down. |
| May 4 01:34:38 | 10m 53s | Plant-iverse | ♥ 0 | I like the descriptions of the plants, and i liked that the condition of the earth improved as you played. |
| May 4 01:40:31 | 5m 53s | Cyborg Highway | ♥ 1 | I love the concept for this. Ironically, it's much easier than frogger, and that's a good thing- i appreciate it letting me hone in on cars when i jump to them. |
| May 4 01:48:58 | 8m 27s | Hajime no Botto | ♥ 0 | short, yet complicated. and yet entertaining still. Sometimes the opposing robot acted faster than i could react, which is not something i expected in a button clicking game, and i thought that was pretty interesting. |
| May 4 02:09:01 | 20m 03s | The life you have... probably | ♥ 1 | quirky little game. wish there was a bit more explanation of the mechanics somewhere. |
| May 4 02:26:36 | 17m 35s | Mutual Exchange | ♥ 1 | An interesting mechanic, although it took a while to figure out some of the early levels. The frames for exchanging life force were a good touch. |
| May 4 02:44:32 | 17m 56s | Life Death + Lemons | ♥ 1 | interesting game, love the sfx. i will quench the thirst of angels. I wish it was possible to clear the slots i accidentally shoved the wrong items into. |
| May 4 19:39:07 | 16h 54m | Life in the Fast Vein | ♥ 2 | WOAH..... BURNOUT. THis game is quirky and i like it. blood fuel was a clever mechanic. |
| May 4 19:50:55 | 11m 48s | Is it a drag? | ♥ 1 | I like that you can choose to let life take you where it wants to go. |
| May 4 20:20:00 | 29m 05s | Long live the king! | ♥ 1 | I dont feel comfortable rating this based on the features it didn't have on release, but I love the art. and it's really goofy to watch my soldiers crumple into flesh blobs after being attacked by other soldiers. |
| May 4 20:51:02 | 31m 02s | Citrine | ♥ 0 | I love RPGmaker games with surreal, overly casual dialogue. |
| May 5 03:26:14 | 6h 35m | Teller Me More | ♥ 1 | I made the raccoon vomit cash onto the floor.Screenshot (848).png This was a good use of my banking skills. Loved some of the dialogue. Wish the main menu was a bit cleaner, but the UI for the rest of the game was beautiful. |
| May 5 03:56:12 | 29m 58s | The Legend of the Peixaralho | ♥ 2 | I asked one of my siblings to play this with me. He won by disabling my ability to USE GUN. The graphics were adorable, and I loved the fish floating around in the background. Sometimes the physics did weird things, like repeatedly launching me off a cliff, but it was pretty funny. The fish powerups were interesting, although I couldn't figure out how to activate them? (my brother did, somehow.) Watching him fly across the stage while i am helpless and unable to shoot was terrifying. |
| May 5 04:01:11 | 4m 59s | Parkour De La Death | ♥ 1 | I can't get past the first area. where is BUTTON to destroy TREE'S? I like the graphics a lot. |
| May 5 04:28:04 | 26m 53s | Gacha | ♥ 0 | i left the music on this running in the background. Really liked the art and the mechanics used for this. nice and relaxing. |
| May 5 15:37:36 | 11h 09m | Kill The Money | ♥ 1 | wonderful little game. It feels like enemies don't drop enough change for me to have a net gain after killing them, especially early on. I love the graphics and music. |
| May 5 16:04:02 | 26m 26s | Tanemaki | ♥ 2 | feels like reverse katamari. I wish the seeds were easier to grab, and i wish it had been more clear when starting the game where the planting spots are. |
| May 5 16:10:39 | 6m 37s | Just a Dungeon | ♥ 1 | enemies deal a LOT of damage. you don't gain anything if they take a few hits out of you early game before you kill them. Aside from that, I love the game. interesting mechanic design, good tiles, and vampire shopkeeper. |
| May 5 16:36:13 | 25m 34s | Rich Robots | ♥ 1 | would have been a lot easier if it had a crosshair, or something to help me aim. the robots are SMOL and had difficult hitboxes to hit. Overall very fun, simple zombie game. |
| May 5 20:26:47 | 3h 50m | BULLDOZERS! FROM OUTER SPACE | ♥ 2 | Took a while to figure out how to play, but it was fun. simple mechanics that allow for complex gameplay. |
| May 5 20:44:01 | 17m 14s | Daybreak Inn | ♥ 1 | tavern questgiving games are fun, and I like the twist on that formula you used to incorporate the theme. |
| May 5 20:48:25 | 4m 24s | BIOFUEL | ♥ 0 | a wonderful way to incorporate the theme. yes/no games work really well with space themes. I wish I found more ways to get biofuel, it seemed the only event that would net me any was from selling my crew. |
| May 5 21:01:03 | 12m 38s | U Wouldn't Shoot a Ship | ♥ 1 | this was an incredibly fun game! felt like a good arcade shooter. The graphics fit well with it. I liked that the upgrade stations were planets. -putting all the different versions of the same file in one .ZIP was a bit odd, though it's not a very large game, so i guess it works out? -including a splash screen intro was hillarious and good. -i didn't really see how the theme was incorporated into this. |
| May 5 22:11:38 | 1h 10m | Annabelle & Annabelle Otherworldly Meats | ♥ 2 | sort of zoned out in the intro cutscene, but the game itself was really fun. It was difficult trying to actually grab the MEATS rather than shoot them again. |
| May 5 22:20:14 | 8m 36s | KNIFE=LIFE | ♥ 1 | Mike Wazowski Has A Knife. I love this game! really funky music, simplistic undertale-battle-esque graphics, difficult gameplay. I like exploding into bones. |
| May 5 23:10:37 | 50m 23s | Dont Drop The Bass! | ♥ 0 | Love the soundcloud aesthetic. Doesn't really fit well with the theme, but that's okay. It's a good game about MUSIC. |
| May 5 23:17:03 | 6m 26s | GEMiNiD S484 | ♥ 1 | Hi, what are the controls? I can't seem to get past the start screen. |
| May 6 15:45:55 | 16h 28m | Wu-Wei | ♥ 1 | Very fun platformer. Can't seem to beat the last level, though that's likely due to my own lack of skill. Speaking of the last level, I glitched through the floor by walking over the first row of jump squares. |
| May 6 16:14:09 | 28m 14s | Hearts for Coins | ♥ 1 | Very interesting concept. how reasonable would it be for one character to be controlled by arrow keys, and another by WASD? |
| May 6 17:18:44 | 1h 04m | My Life is Cactus | ♥ 1 | finally, someone with good taste in plants. This game is pretty interesting. I expected it to play like a tower defense at first, but it quickly became "spread my cacti out very far and run between them so i can DRINK." |
| May 6 19:16:12 | 1h 57m | BDE LLC | ♥ 0 | Not too many games with voice acting. for that matter, not too many games based on sound. pretty creative. |
| May 6 19:24:55 | 8m 43s | A life in Far-West | ♥ 1 | I fear the archers. they are very strong and made the game interesting. never ran into difficulty with the spearthrowers, though. |
| May 6 19:29:33 | 4m 38s | Sand and Blood | ♥ 1 | the side walking animation seemed broken, but the other animations seemed well put together. having a stamina bar for my attacks made me think about when i swiped at foes. |
| May 6 20:04:53 | 35m 20s | Heartaker | ♥ 1 | This was a very well designed game. much smoother than most LD games I've run into. great job on the graphics! |
| May 6 23:04:57 | 3h 00m | DEADline | ♥ 1 | Interesting game. inclusion of a leaderboard was a nice touch. it's a bit difficult to type and move at the same time. maybe let the up arrow also act as a jump button, ala Smash Bros default controls? (edit) Also, the option to skip leaderboard uploads. I LOVE that this has a leaderboard, but if my internet is slow, i have to wait for it to send in a new score. |
| May 7 00:07:52 | 1h 02m | Life is Money, Captain! | ♥ 0 | the ship textures are low poly, but consistently themed, and feel like 3d galaga. nice work on them. |
| May 7 00:20:23 | 12m 31s | Keep Dem' Sick ! | ♥ 1 | It was really difficult to keep track of patients 2 and 3, and really easy to keep track of patient 1 somehow? nice commentary on corrupt medical practices. exceptionally good animation for a LD. and the music was short, but catchy. |
| May 7 01:12:07 | 51m 44s | Last Hope | ♥ 0 | Love the UI and art. It was a nice bit of detail that the houses got crushed slowly if i tried to commit property damage. |
| May 7 01:42:10 | 30m 03s | Super Time Boy | ♥ 0 | wonderful graphics. felt polished, aside from the UI. I like how the difficulty slowly creeps up. |
| May 7 01:48:56 | 6m 46s | Don't burgle my BOX | ♥ 2 | while the gameplay in it's current state is completely unbalanced and very unplayable, there's good potential for the mechanics once it IS cleaned up a bit. and the UI is lovely. |
| May 8 16:42:52 | 38h 53m | Heart and Soul | ♥ 0 | self care mechanic was an interesting and logical addition. I wish some of the art had been more consistent - the MSPaint instructions give this game an odd sort of charm, but the mayor is a pixely person wearing a dress? He pulls off the dress well too though, it just sorta, doesn't mix well. |
| May 8 17:39:53 | 57m 01s | ShrekUnknown's BattleSwamps | ♥ 0 | I wish there was a way to get more health, although SWAMP BUBBLE helped a lot. |
