May 1 03:45:49 LiveOn ♥ 1 The game is quite complete and polished considering the short time. The story setting looks as if it should come with a stressful and harsh atmosphere but the music and graphics are so hopeful and bright... Mechanism-wise, the game is hard. Multiple tries are definitely needed. You can beat the level only if you are super familiar with the map. There is very little room for exploration. I can imagine that the game would be more fun if maps are procedurally generated. In that case it needs to be adjusted so that player can beat it even if they are not familiar with the level map at all. Taking actions are turn-based, but days pass in real time. This is a bit weird. Anyway, this is definitely a solid entry. Good job!
May 1 04:34:37 48m 48s HoldTheButton ♥ 1 This game has a very creepy setting, but conveyed through a funny art style that looks like the combination of Picasso and Egyptian wall art, which strengthened the creepiness in a bizarre way. 5 points for graphics!
May 3 04:52:51 48h 18m Hero ♥ 0 I don't really know how this game works but the pixel art is cute, especially the black bold thing. I like pico-8 games!
May 4 21:52:36 40h 59m Death. Mame. Gun. Kill. ♥ 1 This game seems simple but it is definitely. It took me a while to realize that I need to interact with the central box to start the first wave. I like that you can slow down time for delicate actions.
May 4 22:24:23 31m 47s Empathy ♥ 1 There are some glitches as other comments have pointed out. But the mood was conveyed well. I think it is perfectly ok for a game to be not fun or not even a "game":) With some resolutions, part of some text is out of the screen and not visible. I like it overall.
May 5 16:52:45 18h 28m Demonic Dealings ♥ 1 Fun game! I'm not familiar with poker games so it took me a while to even figure out what is a winning hand. After that it was quite fun to play. It was difficult too. But at least the hand each opponent has does not change so you can try repeatedly. I like the background music.
May 5 17:36:31 43m 46s Sweat Shop ♥ 0 Wow, this is quite an innovative puzzle platformer that fits perfectly into the theme! I really like ATM related puzzles, and getting to the end brought such a big sense of achievement. The animations are so smooth and well made. SFX are also great. My main complaint is that placing and adjusting the position of life cube is sometimes time-consuming. As age bar fills up quickly, sometimes you just cannot beat the level because you spent too much time placing the life cube. Actually I did not really see much benefit of having life bar filling up in real time. Maybe this can be changed so that life bar moves only when the player do certain things (such as buying things, create life cube, using ATM)? In this way life is still a limited resource, but the players would not feel like they are rushed to finish a level. Finally, the UI gets confusing sometimes, for example- Screenshot_1.png It took me a while to find out how to use the ATM. The game is called "Sweat Shop" so I was expecting some narrative elements to explain the title. But there does not seem to be much clue. Overall, very good game!
May 5 18:34:46 58m 15s Vegetable man ♥ 1 This game has super cute graphics and music. But behind all these is the dark theme of "selling your own body"...! I understand that this game was not meant to be intense or competitive so I would not expect a lot of strategic depth or difficulty in it. It gives a relaxing mood and help the player calm down by almost mindless clicking. In this aspect it achieves what it is supposed to achieve as a 放置游戏.
May 5 18:45:27 10m 41s Tod Lost His Dog ♥ 0 This game looks really cool with very stylish graphics. I am also very interested in the topic and story setting. Unfortunately it seems to be demanding on graphic processing power. It is incredibly laggy on my laptop even when I set the graphic quality to be very low...I really wish I could play it :(
May 5 19:18:56 33m 29s HeartShooter ♥ 0 It is simply fun! And I like the minimalist style of graphics. It is quite hard though. I could not survive very long.
May 5 19:46:41 27m 45s THE SAVER ♥ 0 Good concept and well-executed game as always! I like the puzzle and how the game helps you solve the puzzles by showing the hypothetical trajectories. But the connotation of the setting and the three secrets you can unlock are the most interesting thing for me.
May 5 20:12:45 26m 04s Debugger ♥ 1 This is the game that taught me the art of goofing off and how it is the key of surviving 996! I really like the game. It is such a well designed and well polished piece of art that offers fun as well as insights about the society. By the way, although the music isn't original, it goes so well with the game, and it is so cool that the bugs do their motion to the music!
