Apr 30 02:43:28 The Gold Digger ♥ 1 Congrats on another great game! Funny concept, pretty art and very original interpretation of the theme. I wish the game were longer, haha.
Apr 30 12:54:31 10h 11m Ticker Clicker Defence ♥ 3 A great take on the classic tower defense with a hint of clicker. Bright, colourful, lovely. I got to level 20 by just stocking up hearts from the previous levels. **Pros:** Nice, clean professional graphics. Awesome soundtrack and sfx. Felt great watching the lasers go pew-pew and enemies' blood spatter. **Room for improvement:** (ignoring that it's a limited-time Game Jam) Game started out slow for a long time, then really picked up the pace by level 12, and I mean *really*. So that experience could be balanced better. If I'm honest, the clicker mechanics felt a bit forced. I'd rather be upgrading my turrets than clicking mindlessly at hearts. I think the thematic connection still works without it, and it's still very original. For three days, it's a great attempt. Hope to see more from you!
Apr 30 13:09:43 15m 12s FINGER FIGHTER - High Stakes ♥ 1 Awesome game, fun and lovely graphic with a gruesome twist. Really clever take on good old rock-paper-scissors, I am floored by how the penalty is also part of the strategy. How did you think of that? Small bug: I pressed Play then opened the Help Menu and then got into the game, and it got stuck on screen. (This was on Mac)
Apr 30 13:18:20 8m 37s Zoltan's Idea ♥ 5 I actually chuckled to myself when I realised what the game was about. This was one of the funniest AND most fun games I've played so far!
Apr 30 13:39:33 21m 13s TRIWAR ♥ 1 Oh my god, I could rave about that triangular aesthetics for DAYS! This was great fun, at least until the Spawning pools got me. That was a big difficulty SPIKE (get it? Cause the whole game is made of spikes? No?)
Apr 30 13:59:32 19m 59s Don't think about others ♥ 1 Great satire in the form of a humorous and original concept!
Apr 30 14:01:47 2m 15s ATM {At_The_Machine} ♥ 1 I didn't have a friend to play it with, but it's an interesting concept. The names you've chosen, LOL!
Apr 30 14:17:22 15m 35s BulletLife ♥ 1 Sweet game. Only gripe I have: I would have liked to be able to slide off of obstacles, hated getting stuck whenever I'm blocked. Other than that it plays really smoothly. Good job!
Apr 30 14:36:41 19m 19s [SHIP-WRE-KT] ♥ 2 That thing at the ending infuriated - and delighted me! (I won't spoil it for anyone else, haha.) This seemingly simple game made me feel epic emotions. I wish the game was longer, and chock full of experiences just like that. Great job!
Apr 30 14:54:58 18m 17s Phantom of the Malá Strana ♥ 2 Really interesting game. Looks great. I think the fact that the "head" of the "snake" is on the wrist makes it hard to get right. You can make games hard, but it's better if the difficulty is challenging, rather than annoying.
Apr 30 15:59:26 1h 04m Coin Defender ♥ 0 I love combining games! Would have played on if you had more levels. Great job!
Apr 30 16:13:19 13m 53s Courtyard Madness ♥ 0 A really cool little shooter combined with what could be considered idle systems. I think this has great potential to become a full length game!
Apr 30 16:16:42 3m 23s Guttula (HTML) ♥ 1 Congrats on finishing your game! It's quite enjoyable and I wish it were longer. I like how you interpreted the theme. Good job!
Apr 30 16:33:51 17m 09s King's Alchemist ♥ 2 UI is a bit clunky, but the graphics makes up for it! Really cool Alchemy system, good job.
May 1 00:33:25 7h 59m Vampire Quest ♥ 3 Cute graphics, fun idea, some issues stopped it from being perfect. Pros: - Brilliant art, the colours work really well together - Nice audio that compliments the gameplay - The blood sucking animation is hilarious! - Smooth gameplay (Until it stops working, see below) Cons: - I'm not sure if it's just my browser but the game freezes at a few points, once at the start and once when I felt into the ditch. (I'm on Firefox on Mac) Judging from other comments I'm not the only one. If you don't mind me talking shop, you could look into your while loops, maybe there's an infinite loop somewhere. You did a great job nonetheless, I hope you fix the freezing bug and release a post-jam version!
May 1 00:46:42 13m 17s THE SAVER ♥ 0 This is one of the best experiences I had this jam! The punch felt really powerful and satisfying. Wonderful job. I only wish the puzzles were actually designed instead of what I believe is generated? And sometimes my position works in the testing phase, but in reality it misses.
May 2 03:16:42 26h 30m Basil Price: Mint Investigator ♥ 1 Detective games are my favourite! I really felt like playing more of this storyline. You did a great job in the short time you had. Congrats!
May 2 03:26:44 10m 02s Social Lite ♥ 1 I loved figuring out what each reference is supposed to be! (that Brooklyn Nine Nine one!) You did a great job for a jam game, I loved upgrading the room with the little trinkets. Really cute graphics and music. Awesome work!
May 2 03:43:55 17m 11s Dont Drop The Bass! ♥ 0 Feels great when I get it, but I couldn't always get the correct timing, even with offset adjustment. Still a great job for a jam game!
May 2 03:52:47 8m 52s Cursed Samurai ♥ 0 Really hard game but SO beautiful! You did a great job with the mechanics, your actions just need more frequency AND reaction time. Harsh games usually give the player no waiting time to jump back into action (see Super Meat Boy, Cuphead, etc). Still fantastic for a jam game!
May 2 04:04:10 11m 23s Clock of Your Life ♥ 1 What a unique concept, well-executed! I spent like 60% of my time working... This could be used as a personality test 😉
May 2 04:08:21 4m 11s Pit King ♥ 1 You made a full-fledged releasable game! I'm on laptop without a mouse at the moment, so I would have appreciated some alternative to right-clicking. Still I had a great time! Fantastic job, I hope you place very high on the rankings!
May 3 09:35:07 29h 26m Warlock Cardgame ♥ 1 The UI got me a bit confused at first as to which side I was on, and the cards need a bit more balancing. But the game works very smoothly, I knew exactly what I was doing after a while. Hope you'll put more work into the game and expand it. Overall a really good job!
May 3 09:40:23 5m 16s Death Coin Battle Royale ♥ 0 There are bugs here and there, but how can there not be with this SUPER AMBITIOUS project? You put so much thought and polish into each part, it really felt like an actual feature-packed ship-ready game. So much game juice, and it was satisfying to see the little players move around and shoot each other. The name references are amazing as well. Overall fantastic job!
May 3 12:50:22 3h 09m Rent is Due ♥ 1 This game is bonkers! It's so hard but it's worth it. It made me realise that the theme essentially stacks the odds against you by having your health linked to your ability to upgrades... If you fall behind you're screwed!
May 4 04:20:56 15h 30m Robo Portrait ♥ 1 Lovely game! I really enjoy the art and music. It was clear and fun. However, the gameplay itself felt a bit unfair at times, as there's no breathing room (a "press J to start level" would be nice), and there's no indication of how fast the brush is going to go. I keep getting caught off guard by the level starting with a completely different speed. Still those are minor problems, the product itself is impressive for a 3-day jam product. Good job!
