Apr 29 21:14:23		Blood Money	♥ 4	I believe I encountered a glitch where I had the shotgun, got cornered by a skeleton, and my gun was not hitting the skeleton point blank, and that happened again on my second playthrough of level 1, but was able to escape the second time. Overall it was a pretty fun fps but could definitely benefit from more polishing.
Apr 29 21:36:24	22m 01s	The Gold Digger	♥ 1	Very nice puzzle platformer! I love the faces of the guys when you break up with them.
Apr 29 21:58:21	21m 57s	Choice Master	♥ 0	It's a pretty good game. The art was great and you had a good choice for music.
Apr 29 22:07:39	9m 18s	Instagram Boyfriend	♥ 2	The art is really well done! I do wish you were able to add in more camera functions into the game other than filter, and take picture. Overall, it was pretty good.
Apr 29 22:37:35	29m 56s	Keep Dem' Sick !	♥ 1	Very nice game, love the concept. As mentioned before, the controls are a bit wonky, however I do appreciate that you could move with the arrow keys as well. Overall it was a very solid game.
Apr 29 22:47:46	10m 11s	My Life As Currency	♥ 0	Really fun puzzle game, keep up the good work!
Apr 29 22:55:04	7m 18s	Bankrupt by Desire	♥ 1	Very nice. Love the execution. I do feel the game needs a title screen as you do get thrown in without warning. Good Job!
Apr 29 23:09:14	14m 10s	Coin Puzzles	♥ 0	Very cool game and very nice execution of the game. I do feel that the difficulty ramps up a little too much when you enter the level where you have to jump over the lava, grab all the coins, and push the button. Part of the reason I believe that is because the coin placement between the gaps are a straight line when they should be in an arc or a diagonal line because the player jumps forward in an arc; most of the time you will miss at least one out of the three coins. Still, it was a pretty good game.
Apr 30 10:42:04	11h 32m	Wheel Keeps Turning	♥ 1	I love the idea you had for the game, however I believe there was miss steps in the execution. From what I gather you were going for a precision platformer, but the movement itself didn't feel precise as you tend to slide on platforms which makes the game feel unfair in some cases. Also, a way for you to restart the level without having to reload the page because a poor placement of where one of your dead bodies could screw up your progression. Overall you have some great ideas, but could've really benefit from more fine tuning.
Apr 30 16:37:12	5h 55m	Skeleron	♥ 1	You have a solid idea, but the execution was lacking. I do like the sprite work and animation on the skeleton player but I would've sacrifice that for a better build of the game. The invisible wall doesn't make much sense, especially given the fact it looks like you should be able to explore the area past the invisible wall. Enemies spawning behind the walls where you can't reach them makes it impossible to beat. I do want to say that it's alright for this game to turn out not great because you are still learning and I hope you keep learning and keep striving to improve!
Apr 30 16:48:45	11m 33s	Killing in the name of...	♥ 3	This was a really fun game to play. The game would've benefit from a more zoomed in screen. It's a really overall fun game!
Apr 30 17:03:52	15m 07s	Super soul wipeout	♥ 1	This was a really well made game. graphics were great, the audio was awesome, and the game play was fun to play. I was having trouble exiting the game. I'm not sure if I wasn't pressing the right button or if there was a button for that option. I managed to exit out of the game because of my dual monitor set up. Definitely did a good job with this game!
May 1 14:19:59	21h 16m	In Exchange For My life	♥ 1	It was a fun game, melee attacking felt a little slow to me due to the animation and the game could really benefit from music. Overall, good job!
May 1 14:49:29	29m 30s	Deep Space Prospector	♥ 1	Very nice game and I love how everything was tied to the theme of space nicely. I do feel that the song didn't loop well as you can clearly tell when the song starts and stops. That's just a nitpick because his truly was a good game. keep up the good work!
May 2 16:04:40	25h 15m	Orgain	♥ 1	Fun game, I really enjoyed it. It wasn't necessarily clear how to purchase items or where to put the organs initially and the game could benefit from more polishing. Overall, good job, keep up the good work!
May 2 17:24:41	1h 20m	Aipi The Little Fire	♥ 1	This was a really well made game. The art looks really good, the music was nice, and I really love the implementation of the theme where you are given the choice to have better stats and less life or more life and worse stats. I do want to not that some of the layering visual wise felt off as in some objects looked like they were above other objects when they probably should appear below them. But overall, great job! keep up the work!
May 3 18:37:25	25h 12m	Social Poker	♥ 1	I love your take on the theme and how that's integrated. I do feel there needed to be more variety when it comes to the poker aspect other than the deal button. I do love how the game ends. It was overall a pretty fun experience but needed a bit more game play
May 6 13:33:24	66h 55m	Gaia Hero	♥ 0	Nice game. You did an excellent job on the audio for and visuals this game. However, you should've implemented a title/menu screen as the game starts right off the bat without warning which will feel unfair to players who weren't expecting the game to start off right away. It would also help with the block of text on the side describing important information. In game, you don't have a chance to read it without going into the risk of losing so most players will end up not bothering to read it. The placing of land,prey,and predators, made the game feel a bit too difficult as you have to manage where it's being placed while doing the rhythm game. A way to counter this is make it a button system and have the objects be placed in automatically. Overall this was very nice take on the theme and you have some really fun mechanics, just needs some more polishing and refinement.
May 8 15:20:51	49h 47m	Deenero	♥ 0	I believe you have a neat concept. The visuals are very inconsistent, I recommend you stick with a style and stick with it. Like other's mention that the text changing size makes it difficult to read. Speech bubble text should've had you press space to go to the next dialogue as it was moving too fast to read, especially with the amount of text in each box of dialogue. Also, I would highly consider investing more time into gameplay mechanics and game design. I do want to stress that you absolutely nailed down the humor for the game. Overall, There's a lot of room for improvement, but the humor of the game was great. Congrats on finishing the jam, and I hope you keep improving!
May 10 16:54:20	49h 33m	MONEYMONEYMONEY	♥ 0	Pretty solid game functionally, everything ran smoothly and I give you props for including a difficulty mode. I didn't have much fun, but that's because I don't generally like to do math for fun so I'm probably not the target audience. Admittedly I had to grab a calculator out because I wasn't doing well at all lol. The graphics were pretty bare and I had trouble figuring out how to use the currency at first, because I'm American, nut I managed to figure it out. I agree with Evan that labeling could've solved this issue. I don't believe it fit the theme well, I understand what you were trying to go for with the cashier, and could've been integrated better. A simple change that could've made the game fit the theme better is if you said "when the timer strikes 0 you die" I do feel 60 seconds was not enough time for probably easy mode, however I did like how you seperated the difficulty with more difficult math problems. Overall this is a very well put together game, but very simple at the same time. Keep up the good work!
