Apr 30 04:29:25 The Aging Soul ♥ 1 Solid art, and a good use of the theme, though I wasn't sure what to use the old man form for?
Apr 30 04:30:57 1m 32s Spirits of the Unknown ♥ 1 It looks like your itch.io page may still be private. Have you published the game?
Apr 30 04:37:09 6m 12s Treasury Trouble ♥ 1 I really enjoy your pixel art, especially the dude's bouncy little run animation. I think it would help to have some arrows that show you where the enemies are off screen, the first time i didn't even notice the A and B chests.
Apr 30 04:42:52 5m 43s Life Bet ♥ 1 Well done! I like the idea of using the theme as a gambling sort of thing, currency isn't just for spending. I don't think I understand the easy/risky/deadly thing. risky and deadly seem to have worse payoffs than easy?
Apr 30 04:55:35 12m 43s Blood Chest ♥ 3 Wow the graphics here are really impressive, I like the little hop animation too. I ran into a bug though, where the tongue got stuck out, so I couldn't fight anymore.
Apr 30 05:05:05 9m 30s Bioenfluencer ♥ 2 Haha, what a creative mechanic. I love the feed thing where you have to pick words out of the matrix, excellent! I wish I understood the blood/sweat/tears thing better. My sweat seems to go down when I do stuff, but I can't find any way to push it back up.
Apr 30 05:23:46 18m 41s Bot escape ♥ 1 Well done! I really enjoyed playing this game, and I like the audio as well. In the end though, it was too difficult for me >.<
Apr 30 05:54:36 30m 50s The Boxer's Pact: Fausts of Fury ♥ 2 I had fun doing the boxing, and enjoyed the sort of mii-esque graphics, but after I beat the third guy a box came up telling me I lost, which I didn't understand.
May 1 05:12:51 23h 18m Ancient Current See ♥ 1 I like this idea, it could have used a tutorial but I eventually figured out that I could hit the things more than once. I think it needs more mechanics, as it got a little bit repetitive towards the end (it looks like you were starting to build coins/speed but ran out of time?)
May 1 05:20:21 7m 30s Your Life, My Currency ♥ 1 What a clever idea! I'm a big papers please fan, and this checked a lot of the same boxes. Trying to quickly read through the things and make a judgement call was pretty fun. However, I think the scoring must be broken, I scored 16 right and 4 wrong and got 0 points, which doesn't seem right. Also, your flickery font hurts my eyes a little. Great idea, and well done
May 1 05:28:45 8m 24s Life in the Fast Vein ♥ 2 This is a _great_ game, and a wonderful interpretation of the theme. I really started having fun once I noticed I could get extra blood by running the other racers off the road. My only issue with the game is that sometimes the collisions would be weird, it definitely didn't pick up some blood items I had hit. I made the leaderboard, but probably won't stay there long. Great work!
May 1 05:35:39 6m 54s Evil Dungeon ♥ 1 I like the idea here, and the flashlight is well done. I found the level design a little problematic though, because there was no way to tell which way I was supposed to go, so the decision of whether to cross a gate or not felt less like a tactical decision and more like a guess. A good fit for the theme though, well done! As the other commenter mentioned, it could use some music, but time is a big limit in these things.
May 1 05:47:29 11m 50s Catiro ♥ 1 Your graphics are excellent, and I love the references to Sekiro. The idea to do a rhythm game is very creative, though I don't see the connection to the theme. For me though, this game really struggles in the audio department, because the music doesn't match the beat, it feels very unnatural to play in time with the beat which makes it somewhat unsatisfying as a rhythm game.
May 1 06:11:24 23m 55s Samurai Zombie Girl ♥ 0 I enjoyed the feel of hitting enemies with my weapons, melting them with the heavy attack was especially satisfying. It sounds like you know this, but the balance is _way_ off in this game, to the point where even after buying the best armor and weapons, I still couldn't really go anywhere because getting hit even once meant losing my arms and my weapon with them (which meant death moments later). I got the humanize buff, figuring it would be a game win condition, but it just turned me pink, not sure what it was for. Gave up after that. The graphics and animation are pretty solid, I don't feel the music really fits the game (it's too sad for a game this hectic) Solid work for one weekend!
May 1 06:17:04 5m 40s What Death Has in Store ♥ 1 Uh, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this appears to be a game where you click a button and then it tells you you lost. All of the buttons make you lose. ???
May 1 06:20:47 3m 43s Hearts for Coins ♥ 1 This is a clever idea, but the platforming is a little slow, music is pretty good.
May 1 06:26:40 5m 53s Welcome ♥ 1 Haha A cute little runner. Shame I didn't get to use the jetpack until after the game was over!
May 1 06:51:43 25m 03s The Haunting of Jonathan David Jones ♥ 3 The audio is the star of this game, excellent work. The graphics are pretty impressive too. There's a lot of walking around though, and it took me forever to figure out you had to touch the paintings first. I did finish the game, though it was kinda tedious. Would have been nice to learn more about the characters, so that throwing away their memories would actually mean something to me.
May 3 01:49:38 42h 57m King's Alchemist ♥ 2 A solid entry, the basic management game you have here is enjoyable. I didn't really understand the link to the theme playing it (though now reading it, I see... but I beat the game easily without the blood...). Clearly, it could use some sounds/music. The big thing I wanted during the game was that when I clicked an ingredient in the list, it would just go in the pot for me, the dragging was kinda annoying.
May 3 01:55:59 6m 21s Deenero ♥ 0 This seems like a cool concept, but some technical issues make it difficult to appreciate, the most significant of which is that the text shrinks as it appears, which makes it very hard to read.
May 3 04:45:05 2h 49m Collecting Really Nice Cats! ♥ 1 I lol'd, and something makes me think that's what you were going for.
