| May 21 13:32:49 | Cat Outta Hell | ♥ 1 | Great stuff! Really loving the dynamic music, not just between levels but also between plays after the power-ups are introduced (a nice twist in itself, that it's not a pure restart). Thought maybe it was a tad *too* dark at first, but then along came the power-up for that as well, so it was cool to see that it was very much an informed design choice. 💃 In the end, it proved a bit too tricky for me to ever get too far, even with the checkpoints, but I'm very thankful that you had them. Would've been nice if the landing on the platforms were a bit more lenient, I guess. :p Nice work! | |
| May 21 13:44:55 | 12m 06s | Investicats | ♥ 2 | Came for the cats, stayed for the puns~ 😻 Always fun to see what sort of story you'll write for the next jam! Had some up and downs. Saved by my vigilance one day but too low on it when returning to the same situation on a later day. It may have been foolish of me, but the at the sight of wee snowball my snivelling self could naught but offer up half my lives. 😿 Nice work! |
| May 21 14:10:48 | 25m 53s | Drowning in the Rain | ♥ 2 | Debated whether I would be able to play this when I heard the first lines of the narrative. I too lost my own father followed by a series of others after having barely dealt with death before then, and it wasn't actually until going over some old moving boxes just a couple of weeks ago that I saw a picture of him for the first time in over ten years. So my fullest sympathies. Decided to push on anyway. I'm impressed. Not sure I'd dare to tackle something so personal in a game jam out of worry that I wouldn't be able do it justice, but you did very well. The combination of graphics and audio and overall setting makes for a very strong atmosphere, and of course the narration, I'm assuming done by yourself, makes it all that more personal. Difficult to say too much other than that. It was touching, and it wouldn't really feel right to delve into nitpicky criticisms given the higher importance of the subject matter, but I don't really have any either, to be honest. It's very well put together and tight, just like a jam game should be, and all the elements are there. Very good work. I'm glad I played it. |
| May 21 16:11:55 | 2h 01m | Grand Theft Life | ♥ 1 | I spent my life on *stuff* and now I'm fulfilled! Seeing that last comment, however, I feel I probably spent it on the wrong thing not turning everybody into cats! But I studied all the subjects, bought all the lottery tickets (for naught), bought and rented out every property, and did all the artsing before slipping into slumber! No murder sprees for me. Nice to have the choice! Great entry! Neat wiggly art and a good beat. Great work! |
| May 21 16:16:46 | 4m 51s | Bradley's Little Money Maker | ♥ 0 | It's too bad you weren't able to finish, but you're getting a high graphics rating from me at least! Not much to do, perhaps, but plenty to look at. Loved all those little idle animations, especially the belly button one! It's always great seeing your very particular style in action! |
