| Apr 30 01:43:00 | Oh No! My Coins! | ♥ 0 | A nice, simple, fun to play game. It controls well and is simple to understand, but it could be communicated better that a 40 coin minimum is required to jump walls. Nice job! | |
| Apr 30 01:51:44 | 8m 44s | Liquify Bo! | ♥ 1 | A nice game that feels good to play, though it lacks a bit of complexity. It would be nice if there were enemies or coins to collect, making the decision of where to create a platform more complex. Theming and graphics are both good. Nice job! |
| Apr 30 02:41:36 | 49m 52s | Arrow of Light | ♥ 3 | A fun game with a surprising amount of content to it for a weekend project. Also, the number of music tracks in the game is surprising, and I love the "one, two, three, four" in each of them. The shooting mechanic can feel a bit slow at times, however, and the final area is a bit too difficult. Otherwise, the game is great and surprisingly fleshed out. |
| Apr 30 23:15:13 | 20h 33m | Face to Death | ♥ 3 | It's a nice concept, but it could use some work to be a bit better. For example, enemies could be made a little more forgiving and the game could use a bit more polish in telling the player what they can jump on and need to avoid. The graphics are nice, though, and the animation is fluid. Control is not bad, either. |
| Apr 30 23:30:11 | 14m 58s | Bet Your Life | ♥ 1 | Nice game, but can be a bit repetitive and there is little incentive to take risks with the amount of life that you bet. The music is nice and simple, and the animations are good, as well as the connections to the theme. Can be seen as commentary on the effects of real world gambling. |
| Apr 30 23:58:17 | 28m 06s | The Tail of the Serpent | ♥ 1 | Very impressive! The snake mechanic has a lot of complexity to it, resulting in some genuinely difficult puzzles. |
| May 2 23:59:49 | 48h 01m | Coin Puzzles | ♥ 0 | Really like the concept, but it suffers from poor implementation in some places. Controlling your weight is a good idea, but it is cumbersome to have to continually jump to get rid of it. Also, since landing gets rid of your weight, it is difficult to keep consistent if you need to have a certain weight to press a switch. Aside from this, there are many bugs in the game that could use fixing. This could turn into a very neat game, though, with the proper adjustments. |
| May 3 03:22:55 | 3h 23m | 2nd Bank | ♥ 1 | A nice, polished entry with good graphics and music. It would be nice if it was explained how to please each customer, but I suppose it is intuitive for the most part. |
| May 3 03:43:10 | 20m 15s | LD44: Minter | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun multitasking game. Nothing is ever completely fixed, so you are constantly rushing around to attend to this and that. It creates an engrossing sense of urgency, but it becomes repetitive after a short while. The music is quite something, too. My final score was 1164. |
| May 3 04:16:48 | 33m 38s | Mint Sprint | ♥ 0 | Very cool game and fun to manipulate with the physics of the engine. On one level, I couldn't quite figure out what to do, so I used the buck to slowly guide coins that were coming out in the wrong direction into the direction of the bag. The animations are quite fluid, and I love the background noise from the coin materials. One gripe, though: I see no disadvantage to implementing a pull feature: it would eliminate having to restart if one of the parts ends up in an unmovable position and would make things much easier. But I understand the time limit in the jam is a factor. |
| May 4 04:15:49 | 23h 59m | Bubble Blitz | ♥ 0 | Simplistic and fun. I would recommend making the bubble more responsive and having a smaller maximum velocity, though, because it takes a while to start the bubble moving and controlling it is difficult. |
| May 4 04:25:44 | 9m 55s | Hearts for Coins | ♥ 1 | Nice game concept. Switching characters could add a lot of mechanical complexity to the game, but I feel it would be better if each character had different traits and required working together to solve a puzzle. |
| May 4 04:38:59 | 13m 15s | Life in the Fast Vein | ♥ 2 | Really fun and interesting game. Blood-fueled cars is an interesting concept, and I like the incentive to crash other cars to fuel your own. Also, I love the mouth noises used to create the sound effects (at least, I assume so). Nice entry! |
| May 4 04:51:01 | 12m 02s | Cash Money Mole | ♥ 1 | Nice game! It has some challenge to it and depth with the different layers the mole can go on -- though I do wish the upper layer had more to do on it, aside from sporting a fancy new car. Also, it is a bit too easy to run into the sleeping area of a fox, grab a coin, and slip out without repercussions. |
