| May 13 22:03:17 | Life Merchant | ♥ 1 | Cool little block pusher. The shop/aging mechanic was pperhaps a tad too slow moving to be really involving, and the graphics have a bit too little contrasts before you get used to them (though I do like the general artwork and GB graphics!) | |
| May 13 22:12:52 | 9m 35s | Hell's Business | ♥ 1 | I liked the silly basic MS paint art! The physics are a bit wonky and there's not much feedback to hitting the enemy or getting hit yourself, but some audio would have helped a lot with this in general I think. |
| May 13 22:17:40 | 4m 48s | Fortress Knights | ♥ 1 | At first I thought the graphics were a bit too glitchy, but they have a nice charm to them! The sounds are great and definitely classic GB ones fitting the graphics. The generla shooting/jumping physics don't feel that satisfying and the "ball" you shoot just kinda goes in a weird way - this kinda works with the general glitchy asthetic, but I think I would have liked this to be a bit tighter. |
| May 13 22:23:45 | 6m 05s | Space Gunner | ♥ 1 | Good general feel of the gameplay! Great visual feedback with the explosion effects, and solid control. Could perhaps used some more "spice" since the main Theme mechanic isn't that interesting and a pretty generic wave-game one. Sounds is good but i do always feel weird rating "chosen" music and would probably opt out of that category when doing this. |
| May 13 22:30:00 | 6m 15s | Heartful Decisions | ♥ 1 | Cute little graphics! and good animation and sound on it. i was a bit too impatient to really figure out which bacteria were good and bad - would probably have . liked that part to be simpler and just more focus on survival! |
| May 13 22:35:51 | 5m 51s | The Ultimate Frontier | ♥ 1 | Intro is nice, but a bit long! And in general the gameplay takes a bit too long to get going. The general feeling of shooting is nice - some more feedback when hitting enemies would do wonders I think. |
| May 15 20:47:51 | 46h 12m | Cyborg Highway | ♥ 1 | Very addictive and smooth gameplay! Sometimes you get into these little duels with people knocking each other back and forth and it's really great, as well as when there are multiple enemies close by and you have be really careful. It would be either fun or annoying if the traffic in the lanes changed a bit more in speed, or if cars could start blinking to move between lanes. It possibly takes slightly too long to get going, but that's a general issue with wave based games and hard to solve without making it very difficult for first-timers. Got to Wave 3 and $14 000 |
| May 15 20:53:48 | 5m 57s | Sand and Blood | ♥ 1 | The graphics are nice if slightly unpolished, and some more feedback when hitting enemies / getting hit would do wonders for the general feel of the game! It also felt a bit to random walking a lot to find the hearts. It would be cool if enemies got stuck a bit more behind cactuses and had to walk around them, so that you could run around them strategically to avoid the enemies. |
| May 19 09:24:28 | 84h 30m | Seaway | ♥ 0 | Yeah this was pretty amazing! Relaxing music, amazing graphics, very fun to just sail around. Am on a touchpad so could not change weapons, and would have been great to have a keyboard fire button as well. The fights did have a tendency to become a bit too chaotic, but maybe that was due to me getting closer to the enemies then I should have anyway! |
| May 19 09:33:25 | 8m 57s | Timezone | ♥ 1 | Great overall gameplay, and really fitting graphics and soundtrack. The platforming and shooting have a very good feel and visual feedback. It does really start out way too difficult I think, and with enemies taking 3 shots it's very hard to find good places to actually shoot them. |
| May 19 09:36:18 | 2m 53s | Idle Idol | ♥ 1 | Very polished and great graphics and audio! I'm not really that big on clickers - generally, and with this game, there's a bit too much time taken compared to interesting stuff happening |
| May 19 09:42:58 | 6m 40s | DISREGARD LIFE, ACQUIRE CURRENCY | ♥ 1 | Amazing graphics! Really cool reflections. I did not actually get what you were supposed to do and lost interest pretty quicky, but I did enjoy my time with it. |
| May 19 09:57:30 | 14m 32s | Zap Signal | ♥ 0 | My favourite game so far! The silly voice controls brought a smile to my face. It would've been great to more of a hit/explosion sound when hitting enemies. |
| May 19 12:00:48 | 2h 03m | SHROUD (Synthetic Human, Radiation OUtput Determined) | ♥ 0 | Some nice graphics (I really like the player sprite and the water bottle!), could use some polish and cohesion in certain parts though. Audio is nicely mysterious and fits the atmosphere. It's perhaps a bit too slow to get going |
| May 19 12:04:20 | 3m 32s | NecroBlood | ♥ 1 | Very nice graphics! Good animations and the UI works well. Some audio would honestly have done wonders - it does feel a bit empty without it. |
| May 19 13:20:05 | 1h 15m | Soul Surge | ♥ 0 | Nice graphics! Movement does not seem to be normalized so you move a fair bit faster when moving diagonally. Some audio feedback when attacking / hitting enemies / getting hit would do wonders. |
| May 19 13:25:06 | 5m 01s | Arrow of Light | ♥ 1 | Very nice gameplay! Feels like a mix between Yoshi's Island, Towerfall and Max Payne (stopping mid-air feels bullet time-y). Enemy bullets not getting stopped by the environment feels wildly unfair, and there are a lot of fun strategic duels that would happen if this was implemented. |
| May 19 13:32:50 | 7m 44s | Cats Without Cars | ♥ 2 | Great graphics and general atmosphere! Awesome music as well. Would have been nice with shadows to better "ground" the cats Bullets almost just vanish when hitting something, a bigger explosion would've been nice as well. Gameplay feels a bit too glidey and unprecise - it's still fun, but could do with some tuning! |
| May 19 13:40:02 | 7m 12s | Drytown | ♥ 0 | Great mood! Good graphics and very fitting music. Clever attack animation, and very nice feedback on attacking. The font is potentially a bit too hard to read, coupled with possibly slightly too much talking initially led me to be a bit impatient. Really good entry, definitely a full experience! |
| May 19 13:55:12 | 15m 10s | Escape from Hell | ♥ 1 | I do like the simple graphics, especially attack animation. Some audio would do wonders for general feedback when attacking etc. |
| May 19 14:03:25 | 8m 13s | D.R.I.E.D. | ♥ 1 | Wow! The music is just amazing and really help sell the whole thing. The graphics are great too, and the general atmosphere of walking around. Would potentially have liked some more tactical manoeuvring or choices - I felt like I did pretty randomly, but perhaps I just didn't play enough to really learn it. |
| May 19 14:14:08 | 10m 43s | Guardian Sphere | ♥ 0 | Normally not too big of a phan of shmups with this low firing rate, but it did feel strategic enough that it was still fun here! Amazing graphics and music and general vibe of game. No bullet or explosion sounds make things a bit more lifeless than they could be, and it doesn't quite get hectic enough for me to not lose interest after a while (though maybe I just didn't advance far enough?) |
