| Apr 29 23:14:43 | BetYourLife | ♥ 1 | Ha, I like it! It's funny because this was very similar to my original idea so glad I went another route :) Not really much I can say about it, it was entertaining for a few seconds which is exactly what these games should be. The animations and controls were satisfying. I suppose the only criticism I could offer, and it is nitpicking, is I didn't understand the betting at first. It took me a few seconds to figure out I couldn't bet more than $100 the first round because that was all I had. Not sure I could say how to make it better and it really doesn't need to be probably, I'm just dumb. | |
| Apr 29 23:24:32 | 9m 49s | Scrapitalism | ♥ 0 | Missed your stream this go around but as always you impressed with your entry. Sounds we great, graphics were nice. It got a bit too much bullet hell like on the boss and occasionally the boss would let out a scrap but I couldn't collect it (missing a collider?) Otherwise very well done! |
| Apr 29 23:35:58 | 11m 26s | Board Life | ♥ 1 | A good example of team work in my opinion. You could tell it was thought out and each of you had a role to play in the design. There were a couple little bugs where icons overlapped text on the popups but nothing terrible (HTML version). I played around a couple times, well done! |
| Apr 30 22:32:41 | 22h 56m | Cashier Simulator 2019 | ♥ 1 | I liked this! Took me a few tries to get the hang of it. Drag and drop was a bit hit and miss but worked most of the time. |
| Apr 30 22:45:48 | 13m 07s | Battery Life | ♥ 1 | Nice puzzle game, I did have a couple on the first level where the battery didn't seem to make contact with the receiver at the end of the belt. After restarting several times I got it though. Sounds were fitting and the game fit the the theme well I thought. |
| May 1 21:24:45 | 22h 38m | Kessler | ♥ 0 | I rather enjoyed this for a few moments. I think maybe a slightly faster rate of fire would be nice. The physics felt pretty good though. |
| May 1 22:10:13 | 45m 28s | Alleycat Faust | ♥ 0 | I like some of what is going on here but I couldn't ever figure out what I was suppose to be doing aside from eating fish. Did I miss something? |
| May 2 22:26:11 | 24h 15m | Deadrun | ♥ 0 | Nice maze game! Level difficulty progression was really nice. First person games make a bit dizzy so i didn't play past level 4 but still really nice. |
| May 2 23:00:56 | 34m 45s | Might of the Druids | ♥ 0 | Nice game, very easy to understand. The leader board was a nice touch. Maybe some ambient noise music would have been nice, I myself failed on that part. |
| May 3 20:18:07 | 21h 17m | TimeForYourSouls | ♥ 1 | I may have to come back to this to see if I can figure it out more. I didn't quite understand what was going on but the mechanics look fun. Nice effects and sound. |
| May 3 21:28:18 | 1h 10m | UnderBreak | ♥ 1 | So I liked the game but I'm not sure how it really fit the theme? From the description I assumed I was spending life to shoot but that didn't seem to be the case. On the third level (I think, the level with stairs) the controls seemed backward like I had to use S to move forward but I actually ran backward (WebGL). What I did like was the great graphics and general game play. There seemed to be a lot of thought put into it. |
| May 3 22:02:15 | 33m 57s | 60 Days Till Summer | ♥ 2 | I like the concept, too bad you didn't have time to finish but I know what that is like. |
| May 3 23:38:20 | 1h 36m | Courage, My Knight | ♥ 0 | Nice little game, the art is perfect fit. As others stated some ambient music would be nice, I missed on that one myself. |
| May 4 00:11:38 | 33m 18s | Mana Loss | ♥ 1 | Not a bad first try but maybe you bit off more than you could chew for a first time, card games are can get tricky :) I'd suggest keep working on it a bit just to iron it out some so you can learn where to put focus in the next jam. Art is not bad at all for a jam entry where you did it yourself. |
| May 4 00:24:08 | 12m 30s | The Money Hole | ♥ 2 | RPGMaker is a great tool, great assets to get you going quickly. Unfortunately I felt like I was mostly just running around. Didn't seem like I could ever find what I was suppose to do beyond the first encounter. Only ran into one other monster and otherwise I was just walking through scenes. For 12 hours of work, I'd say it is a solid entry though. I'd echo @shunaky comments, I've used RPGMaker when I first started and you can really get into some powerful scripting. You'll still be bound to some of the engine's pit falls but it is a great place to start. The hard part is getting away from the fact that everyone knows it was RPGMaker :) |
| May 4 10:56:33 | 10h 32m | Pew Pew Crew! | ♥ 2 | Very solid entry! Played through a couple times in order to get the hang of it but ones I did it was very enjoyable. Great sound effects, graphics, and game play. Some constructive feedback might be to have a way to pick up crew members that didn't hit the target or maybe the enemies could drop some crew when destroyed. But more importantly, a way to exit the game without having to use Alt+F4 :) This is probably my favorite entry I've played thus far. |
| May 4 13:28:37 | 2h 32m | Memory Run | ♥ 2 | I like the old school text based game feel to the command system though it could probably be made a bit clearer in the tutorial how it worked. Overall I thought it was pretty creative! |
| May 4 16:08:55 | 2h 40m | Elevator Pitch | ♥ 1 | Haha, I like this! Well designed. Only thing I didn't like was the long intro and the long wait time for the elevator. Otherwise very nicely done! |
| May 4 16:46:36 | 37m 41s | Enemy Of The State | ♥ 2 | Really liked this. Performance was a bit of an issue but it was still playable. AI seemed surprisingly good. |
| May 4 17:30:35 | 43m 59s | Dead Frog Tell No Tales | ♥ 1 | While I wasn't sure exactly how the theme was represented and I really enjoyed the game. The graphics were great. The game play was a bit addicting. |
| May 4 18:00:02 | 29m 27s | Sword of Hearts | ♥ 1 | I loved this but I never could figure out how to get the sword! Played several times, might try again later. Animations were good and puzzles generally seemed thought out. Nice job |
| May 4 18:20:23 | 20m 21s | Real Life | ♥ 1 | Nice concept, played through several times and never could make it across the darn road. A restart button would have been nice instead of the black nothingness that inevitably is probably too life life ;) |
| May 4 18:59:50 | 39m 27s | Luci's Little Trinkets | ♥ 0 | How very needful things of you. Nice departure from the types of games we using build out here. When I died though, I always got "RIP" with "Invalid Date - Invalid Date" under it with an Age of NaN. Otherwise, worked well. |
| May 4 20:54:46 | 1h 54m | Rashness | ♥ 2 | Love it! I beat the boss and after a time or two it was pretty easy to understand the mechanics. I love that it felt was a shooter that just takes you to the boss, a good way to focus and get all the mechanics in. Only constructive feedback I'd have is I wish shooting could have been another button/configurable or holding down the click would auto fire. Ultimately I programmed my mouse to push left click over and over :) |
| May 4 21:57:40 | 1h 02m | Stay alive! | ♥ 1 | lol, that was interesting to say the least. Nice take on the theme and it was some unique game play. I couldn't live longer than 36 seconds unfortunately :) |
| May 4 22:01:43 | 4m 03s | Peak Myths | ♥ 1 | Very strange but oddly a bit fun. Maybe a bit more instruction would be nice but otherwise pretty good. |
| May 4 23:25:20 | 1h 23m | People Poker | ♥ 2 | Not bad, a bit difficult as others pointed out. Really liked the graphics. |
| May 5 01:08:25 | 1h 43m | Fools Fortune | ♥ 0 | I like the idea but the tarot card draw was always the same thing asking me to joust or fight hand to hand. If I went hand to hand, I lost an arm. If I went joust, I injured my leg. I always drew a 4 on my card but the three cards drawn at the beginning were 3,3,4. Seems like there may be an issue with random generation? Even with just 4 scenarios I should have hit at least one thing different I'd think. That said, the game play was really fun and I look forward to a post jam version to try out. |
| May 5 19:00:19 | 17h 51m | Arrow of Light | ♥ 1 | You have a lot good going on here. Firing was well done though enemies seemed to fire a bit to fast for me to actually shoot them, put I could just be bad at it. Overall I liked it! |
| May 5 20:29:18 | 1h 28m | Medieval Worg | ♥ 0 | Neat game, no real complaints other than it would be nice to see prices of the items you can buy. The core is really overpowered I think too but without it I probably wouldn't have figured out how to win so take that for what it is worth. Nicely done. |
| May 5 20:45:47 | 16m 29s | Seize the Clay | ♥ 3 | I liked this but I never could figure out how to shape the clay. I could make it tall and slim or short and fat but no hour glass shapes or anything like that. Obviously possible form other people's screen prints though. I liked the take on the theme and the controls were done well (aside from what I'm sure is me not figuring out the aforementioned shaping). My stuff sold for about $1100 each but only played for 3 days so I guess shape didn't matter much |
| May 5 20:56:00 | 10m 13s | Soul Surge | ♥ 0 | Some audio would have went a long way to making this feel better but overall it was a good entry otherwise. The attacking seemed to not connect as often as I would have liked. Graphics were really nice! |
| May 6 22:10:30 | 25h 14m | Meter Maid DX | ♥ 1 | As other have stated, the art is fantastic in this game. It was enjoyable, good work |
| May 9 21:48:44 | 71h 38m | Something Of Legend | ♥ 0 | I like the concept but I couldn't figure out how to get past the first enemy. It looks really good and other that I sucked at it I can't really fault it. Nice job |
| May 12 13:51:55 | 64h 03m | NecroBlood | ♥ 1 | Wow, very nice game. Perhaps some more balancing on the vampires. Controls nicely and easy to understand. Could really of benefited from some sound effects and ambient music of some sort but otherwise I didn't have any real complaints. Nicely done! |
| May 12 18:29:12 | 4h 37m | Tunnel Bug | ♥ 1 | I think with a little polish and challenge added you'd really have a fun game I'd enjoying playing at length. The sound is good and the look of the game is really refreshing in an old school sort of way. |
| May 16 12:44:41 | 90h 15m | Face to Death | ♥ 3 | Not bad. Looks great. Controlled okay, but game seemed to freeze on death (or maybe just that it isn't intended to do anything after you die?). EDIT: Tested out the post version as well just to see if lockup would go away but you get a NullPointer when you die sometimes otherwise still stalls out but I noticed the speaker in the bottom left was still functional so the game is technically still running so I guess just no way to restart. I'd highly suggest adding that. |
| May 17 20:15:26 | 31h 30m | Welcome to the REDstar Polis | ♥ 0 | fyi - i couldn't get this to download. |
| May 17 20:17:45 | 2m 19s | Bad Guy Inc | ♥ 1 | Sorry, as others have stated I can't get the game to load either. |
| May 17 20:25:13 | 7m 28s | Monolith | ♥ 1 | There are a lot of good things going on here, such as the movement and the level layouts. I wouldn't mind playing a post jam version. Sound would have went a long way here. The intro while really nice was a bit to long. |
| May 17 23:00:27 | 2h 35m | ｉｎｖｅｒｔｅｂｒａｅ | ♥ 1 | Play style was inventive. Not really my kind of game but overall I thought it was well done. |
| May 18 00:47:27 | 1h 47m | Blood Money | ♥ 1 | Wow this is well done for such a sort time. Controls were difficult to get use to but once I played a few times I started to get the hang of moving. Graphically it great. I rarely saw any life spawn thus died a lot. Concept is really nice and I look forward to the post compo version! |
| May 18 11:16:53 | 10h 29m | Failing Human | ♥ 1 | At first this seemed easy but then... not so much :) Generally I liked this. The Tutorial screen was good though the font was a bit difficult to read. The scene transitions were a simple and nice touch. |
