| Apr 30 07:06:03 | Knight Time | ♥ 0 | Interesting concept. The dungeon crawler card system kind of reminds me of The Guild of Dungeoneering. Not sure I like the colour scheme you went for though. White, Cyan and slightly greener Cyan doesn't make for great legibility and I found it hard at times to see what square I was on, or even where the first starting square was. | |
| Apr 30 07:33:00 | 26m 57s | Elthus | ♥ 1 | Fun little platformer. I like the hookshot mechanics, although because it had no cooldown or resource cost, it made the jump upgrades almost completely useless. I would have liked a bit more of a connected feel between your life and the resources you spend, because it felt a bit more like a timer than a resource/life bar that lowers when you perform actions. Otherwise good implementation of the theme. |
| Apr 30 09:07:06 | 1h 34m | For the captain. For the ship. | ♥ 1 | Nice little game. Sailing around was fun, even though it took me a while to figure out you had to come to a stop in order to land on an island. I died at the first enemy who was multiple times stronger than me, which wasn't very nice, but overall good job |
| Apr 30 09:22:10 | 15m 04s | Escape from Hell | ♥ 1 | Absolutely amazing art, very well done. Decent implementation of the theme too. This game could have done with some sound, but the quietness is it's own atmosphere. Having to respawn near death everytime got a bit tedious and the game was actually really easy after only a minute of gathering souls, but very well done nonetheless. |
| Apr 30 11:29:47 | 2h 07m | Lonely Heart | ♥ 1 | Nice art, good music and sound, decently fun gameplay. Great job! I wish that you got a little more feedback during combat because it was hard to judge if you hit/got hit. Some feedback on cooldowns would be appreciated as well. I was able to cheese the boss as part of the arena had a deadzone and he didn't shoot back. Overall solid entry. |
| Apr 30 11:39:54 | 10m 07s | Drop of life | ♥ 2 | Wicked art and animation. Love the little swaying in the trees and water. It does seem like you can just move through all obstacles though, so the rocks, trees and pillars don't seem to actually physically be there. I think some more feedback about attack range would have been nice, as it was hard to judge how far your attacks reach. Well made music as well, it really help set the mood. Would have liked to hear some other sound effects but well done regardless. EDIT: I see now that the music was royalty free from a youtube channel. Did one of the developers make this? If not, you should really remove yourself from the audio category as you didn't make any of it yourself. |
| Apr 30 11:49:39 | 9m 45s | Glad - Gladiators! | ♥ 3 | Amazing art and music. Really fantastic. Maybe I missed something but the special attacks didn't seem to work? Would have liked to hear some sound effects. (Edit: woops, just had my sound turned down, sound effects were great as well ) Also, I didn't really get the theme. In what way was life your currency? The control screen appeared before every other screen, even the credits and following your kill order got you punished anyway, so it seemed a bit buggy. Fun concept for a pvp game though. Being only able to kill a specific player without punishment is very interesting. |
| Apr 30 12:21:44 | 32m 05s | Heart Sacrificer | ♥ 1 | Fun little small game. Digging the art and music. Really gave me an atari vibe almost. I like the double jump mechanic. Really innovative way of doing it. It is quite a difficult game with some tricky jumps. Also, dying in level 2 spawns you in a broken location with an invisible wall to the right, and endless void to the left. It was overall quite easy to walk out of the map. Well done overall. |
| Apr 30 12:28:02 | 6m 18s | Lifleline Warriors | ♥ 1 | Solid work for a (almost) single man team. Good art, fun gameplay. I love the little _swoosh_ effects on the melee weapons. There appears to be a broken upgrade in the shop. It just shows a white square and you can't buy it. Otherwise, great work! |
| Apr 30 12:36:18 | 8m 16s | Ticker Clicker Defence | ♥ 2 | Wow, great game! Absolutely love the aesthetic and sound. Worked together really well to create a wonderful atmosphere. I did eventually die to a bug. Opening two upgrade dialogues, buying one upgrade, not having enough health for the second one but still being able to buy it and then dying. No big deal as I mainly did it to see what would happen 😜. Very well done. |
| Apr 30 12:43:13 | 6m 55s | Ice Crime | ♥ 2 | What a happy, fun game. Good graphics and sound (did you make all of them yourselves?), lovely little tune in the background. The movement felt slippery, which makes sense since snowman and all. The people did'nt seem to pose much of a threat though. They just ran away from me, not really hurting me in the slightest. Great job! |
| Apr 30 13:47:21 | 1h 04m | PizzoTyping | ♥ 3 | Haven't played a typing game in a long time. Good execution although it seems to sometimes drop inputs. That and the apostrophe doesn't work very well. Other than that, great art, good sound, good theme. Great job. |
| Apr 30 14:05:48 | 18m 27s | Ente | ♥ 1 | Extremely innovative. Most interesting interpretation of the theme I've seen so far. _Your life_ is currency. Brilliant. The sound effects and visuals created a great atmosphere, although the walking sound got a bit annoying after a while. > What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets -Dracula |
| May 1 07:12:44 | 17h 06m | PayTime | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept. The whole thing gave me a bit of a 'Papers Please' vibe. I'm not that fond of math as a game mechanic, but I won't hold that against you. I didn't hear any audio in the game. Is that intended? If so you should remove the _audio_ category from the ratings. |
| May 1 07:25:29 | 12m 45s | Hearts for Coins | ♥ 1 | Fun little platformer. I like the idea of exchanging resources like this. The theme could have been a bit stronger. Music was nice but got a bit repetetive quickly, especially with the 8-bit like sounds you used. Good job overall. |
| May 1 07:50:25 | 24m 56s | ｉｎｖｅｒｔｅｂｒａｅ | ♥ 1 | Whew! What a ride. Extremely innovative way of doing a text adventure. Loved the music even though it was only like a 8 second loop. Fun gameplay, although some solutions were rather ambiguous (I did need the walkthrough to get the ending). Very well done. |
| May 1 08:10:57 | 20m 32s | The Last Drop | ♥ 1 | Awesome game. Art looks really good, music is great. I love the light/dark fade in between levels. I would have liked additional sound effects as it feels a bit empty without them. Creative concept of investing your health like that. Very cool |
| May 1 08:17:13 | 6m 16s | Leap | ♥ 1 | Great entry for your first LD. Love the pixel art. Haven't seen an infinite runner yet this jam, forgot that genre was even a thing XD. Music was nice and happy. Good execution overall. Great job. |
