| Apr 29 12:12:04 | Memorandum | ♥ 1 | Beautiful game! The artstyle is nicely pulled off (loved the last screen), the audio supports the mood perfectly, and the story is simple but touching (for me, the good ending was the most beautiful one). Gameplay-wise it's not too exciting but I couldn't care less if everything else is so compelling. Still, the bad path was pretty boring, some differences in the writing would've been nice. Also, it was quite hard to read which memories were lost, as they disappeared so quickly. An amazing game overall though and good use of the theme. It's the first game I played this LD, how are the other games supposed to keep up with this level of awesomeness? :) | |
| Apr 29 12:37:26 | 25m 22s | TheMechanizedHero | ♥ 1 | Pretty nice game! The movement feels good and the attack satisfying. Visually, it also looks quite nice, especially the main character. The idea of having to save up your strikes is well executed and it seems pretty hard at first, but after the first few tries the game actually becomes quite easy and the gameplay feels a bit samey. Some more enemy types could help with that. Overall though, I really enjoyed this and played up until wave 12, good job! |
| Apr 29 13:13:26 | 36m 00s | Life Is Currency. Currency Is Life. Choose Your Future. Choose Life. | ♥ 1 | Pretty nice and humorous little game with good writing. Congrats on checking out bitsy AND making a game in such a short amount of time. That super obedient parrot is hilarious, the article reads a little like an april fools :) |
| Apr 29 13:29:42 | 16m 16s | Bear of symph | ♥ 1 | Like you said, it has nothing to do with the theme, but who cares? :) It's a pretty decent little platformer. Finding out that you could propel yourself much higher into the air when pressing jump while going up inside a cloud made the game way more fun, was this intentional? The visuals are quite psychedelic but not so much to be unbearable. I enjoyed playing it, good job overall! |
| Apr 29 13:48:36 | 18m 54s | Sacrifies Life To Save | ♥ 2 | A very basic game, which could be improved in several ways. The artstyle is kinda weird and the graphics clash with each other, if you'd want it to be a little more psychedelic I'd say double down on this. The gameplay works quite well, with the main challenge being to remember which key holds off which enemy, but it gets a bit boring quickly, some more variety would be cool. I never got into the situation where I had to really keep on eye out for my health. Just a thought: If you'd add a visible cooldown on the skills and design the enemy waves accordingly, this would probably turn into a rythm game, which might be worth exploring. Anyway, despite my criticism I enjoyed this game, good job and congrats on finishing it! |
| Apr 30 16:24:43 | 26h 36m | Inflate Me to the Moon | ♥ 0 | Pretty awesome, slightly hectic, really funny game! The visuals and audio are both top notch, the gameplay is varied but a little to repetitive, would've loved to see something other than "more of everything" in the other rounds. The cursor leaving the window was a little problematic at the hammering part. The flying track sounds a bit too noisy for my taste, but otherwise the music is just amazing (as usual from you!). Overall, this was great fun! PS: I felt really bad for those cute little turtles... :) |
| May 1 17:19:34 | 24h 54m | A Merciful God | ♥ 0 | This is a solid foundation for an interesting god game, but in the current state it doesn't work that well. The beginning was the most interesting part, figuring out what exactly is going on. It quickly spirals out of control with a massive population and being able to afford everything (did anything do something else than increase population growth? if so, it was not understandable). Some of the upgrade texts are cut off. The visuals are actually quite nice, although at first I didn't get where there are humans on the planet. Thanks btw for the mute button, the "music" was funny at first but got a little annoying quickly. Overall, if you add more content and polish, I could very well see this becoming quite the interesting and different game! |
| May 1 17:36:21 | 16m 47s | Seize the Clay | ♥ 3 | Pretty damn awesome game! The mechanics are quite innovative, the visuals are beautiful and cute, music is quite fitting and relaxing. The color mixing was a bit beyond me, I think there could be more feedback what color you currently have. Also, some sounds would've been nice. Still, a great game from you yet again, good job! |
| May 1 17:52:55 | 16m 34s | Nomnipotent | ♥ 0 | Super hard, but interesting game! I needed a few tries to figure out how to survive for at least a bit and then my strategy became using dead towers as blockers, but eventually there were just too many enemies. So, the balance seems a bit problematic, but other than that this is quite awesome, I enjoyed the visuals and gameplay a lot. PS: When going back to the menu after dying, you get to the tutorial and can't get back to the main menu, so I had to restart the game after each try. PPS: This is what my screen looked like in the end :) waaaaahhhh.png |
| May 1 19:54:58 | 2h 02m | Les liens du sang | ♥ 3 | Very interesting game! The mechanics are unusual and intriguing, it's not often that you see a game like this in a jam. The visuals are quite nice, as are the music, sounds and writing. I played two rounds, one that ended very quickly and one longer one and really enjoyed it. Is there an end to the game besides having no more heir? |
| May 2 15:46:31 | 19h 51m | Brittle | ♥ 1 | An interesting and quite well executed game with neat visuals. I tried a few times and got quite far I think, is there an end? Would've liked the movement to be just be a bit more speedy. Good job overall! |
| May 2 15:56:11 | 9m 40s | Power of Blood | ♥ 1 | Neat little top-down-shooter! It controls quite well and the upgrades feel powerful. Actually a little too powerful for the price to pay, it would've probably been a better balance if the upgrades cost 20 of max AND current health instead of just 10 max health. Would've loved to see a bit more content, but had quite a bit of fun with this one, good job! |
| May 2 16:09:43 | 13m 32s | Lost in Space | ♥ 0 | Solid foundation for a nice game, but in its current state it's a bit lacking. I could've easily gone through the levels without any powerups, some more tension would've been nice. The controls are quite floaty, which fits the setting really well. The artstyle is quite nice I think. Before the end screen I thought the levels were randomly generated, which could be a path worth pursuing if you plan to develop this game further. Had fun playing your game, good job! |
| May 2 16:32:20 | 22m 37s | Fokusiro | ♥ 1 | Very nice and relaxing game! The visuals, especially the animations, are pretty awesome. I really got into a sort of flow playing it :) Would've liked to see some more story, I think with the day to day gameflow this would've fit very well inbetween days. Good job overall! |
| May 3 16:43:59 | 24h 11m | LifeMutation | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun little game! The upgrading mechanic is nice, but seems a little buggy too (could sometimes click mutate even if I didn't have enough lives). It's pretty fast-paced, dodging the bullets is kinda hard but at some point you just don't care anymore :) Some sounds / music would've been great. Still enjoyed this quite a bit, good job! |
| May 3 16:59:36 | 15m 37s | KYNIGI - LIFE, DEATH & ROBOTs | ♥ 1 | Pretty neat game, it's fun and looks really cool. The sounds are also nice, but seem a little loud and overwhelming. The biggest issues are the camera, which often let me see only black, and most of the time I got hit constantly but couldn't make out the source of damage, as all enemies were quite the distance away, which was very frustrating. Still, I enjoyed this game, good job! |
| May 3 17:20:59 | 21m 23s | Life or Gun | ♥ 0 | This feels like it could be a cool game, but it seems very unfinished. At first I thought there was so audio at all (despite the obvious fmod splashscreen), because it is hidden in the options menu and turned off by default, better have it on at the start at a medium volume or something. Speaking of audio, it was nice, but the sudden shifts between what I presume are different areas were very confusing. The movement and shooting and enemy variety was really fun, but the whole game is just an endless dungeon with no real goal or purpose. The visuals look quite nice, but there are some layering problems with the hero and the walls and the floor tiles could use some variation. The shop in the beginning was broken, there were four identical items that all said they give 0 health for 0 cost and there didn't appear to be any more shops inside the game. And what I presume is your core mechanic, namely that shooting costs health: It doesn't work, I could just plow through everything with my trusty shotgun. So, overall this seems very promising, but is a little broken in its current state. Still, I enjoyed it mostly due to the fluid gameplay, good job! |
| May 3 17:46:07 | 25m 08s | The ARK | ♥ 1 | Pretty sweet FPS! The visuals are very awesome and create a nice mood, it would've been impressive if you created them yourself, but still, you put them together well. The music and general audio is quite nice too. The movement and shooting feels good, but the constantly shooting enemies were a bit annoying, I do prefer shooters where I can actually dodge bullets. Overall, this is a really enjoyable game, good job! |
| May 5 17:02:38 | 47h 16m | limbostore.heaven | ♥ 0 | Thank you so much for your feedback so far, we really appreciate it! <3 Just fixed the potentially game-breaking multibuy bug (well, not exactly game-breaking, but forcing you to grind, which can be quite annoying) and added some alternative keyboard input buttons and platform builds for Linux and macOS on itch.io. |
| May 6 19:28:57 | 26h 26m | Blood Rite | ♥ 0 | Pretty neat game! I like the artstyle and it was fun watching the units chaotically bash on each other. Seems a bit impossible to loose though, I played till wave 20 and the enemies seemed to not be able to kill anything let alone touch my core. Enjoyed this nonetheless, good job! |
| May 6 20:52:48 | 1h 23m | Blood Alchemy | ♥ 0 | Nice game, quite fun! The gameplay works pretty well and the combat is fun with all weapons, although the ranged ones have a bit of a long cooldown. Infinite running is possible once the sprint bar has depleted. The enemies didn't pose too much of a threat and the boss was also rather easily beaten by attacking it from below, but I don't mind low difficulty. The artstyle is quite nice as is the music. Good job overall! |
| May 7 20:06:42 | 23h 13m | Atria | ♥ 1 | Really nice artstyle! The game is also interesting and plays quite well, but I kinda sucked at predicting the enemy attacks and didn't manage to beat the second enemy in several tries. Still, I enjoyed playing this game, good job! |
| May 7 20:16:24 | 9m 42s | The Legend of the Peixaralho | ♥ 1 | An interesting game! The artstyle looks really beautiful and the gameplay has a lot of potential, but in its current state it is a little broken. The shot is way to strong and its possible to get trapped in an upgrade loop when touching the fish. The movement already felt pretty good though. If you manage to bugfix this a little more and add some more interesting upgrades (and some audio) it could become something really special. Good job overall! |
| May 7 20:31:44 | 15m 20s | Sigilite | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game and a solid foundation for a nice shooter. The movement and shooting feels pretty good, especially with higher speeds. The camera is a little problematic though, especially near walls it goes crazy. I had a bug where the sigils that I activated didn't disappear and I could pick them up again and again, which made for a pretty fun overpowered run :) The music fits the mood well, but the shot sound could've used some variation. Enjoyed this quite a bit overall, good job! |
| May 8 20:21:41 | 23h 49m | Adepts of Virgil | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game! The mechanics work quite well, leading the flock is not too easy and there are always some dying, so it seems well balanced. The artstyle is also quite nice and creates quite the mood together with the chosen audio. Really enjoyed this, good job! |
| May 8 20:29:55 | 8m 14s | Mahouflask | ♥ 1 | Really fun game! I like the fast paced gameplay and upgrade mechanics a lot, although it was almost a bit too fast paced for me, considering you have to choose the correct attack for each enemy type. The artstyle is very nice! Really enjoyed playing this, good job! PS: About audio: It seems like you used audio from another source (the urls suggest this), this is not really made clear and you haven't opted out of audio, so I'm a bit confused, could you clarify this? |
| May 8 20:40:36 | 10m 41s | Money Mafia | ♥ 1 | Pretty amazing game! I love the artstyle, it has a lot of character. The gameplay is quite fluid and feels great, plus having to pick up new weapons mixes it up quite well. I didn't really mind the low accuracy of the weapons. The music is super fitting and somehow the lack of sound effects really supports the whole mood. Overall, this is quite the polished and complete package. Enjoyed this a whole lot and wish there was a little more content, but it is awesome as it is. :) |
| May 20 18:47:45 | 286h 07m | Watt Balance | ♥ 0 | Nice game, the movement felt really good and I see quite the potential for a cool exploration based game, but the screens are just really big and I got lost quickly, maybe a minimap or some landmarks could help with that. The audio is pretty damn good! |
