| Apr 30 19:52:13 | A Life At Stake | ♥ 3 | Good interpretation of the theme, and a polished presentation. The gameplay itself (a series of minigames, often based purely on chance) didn't really grab me - don't think there was much to "figure out", more just doing things repeatedly? Great job creating something that feels very complete though! | |
| Apr 30 19:57:10 | 4m 57s | Have a Heart | ♥ 2 | Good job submitting :) Great to get something playable up even if you don't finish all you hoped to achieve! It's a shame there's no way to continue or restart after you die and I'm afraid I really didn't enjoy the music - it sounded sort of like random clashing notes a lot of the time! |
| Apr 30 20:04:58 | 7m 48s | Big Facinating Mutants | ♥ 3 | Excellent sound-track :) In terms of critique, first wave certainly feels very long - might be nice to break and go to the shop more often? Frame rate drops very low, guns clip through the character and oscilate appearance rapidly so it's not super clear which you have, and I wasn't sure why part of the UI is up the top and another part is sort of floating near the bottom left. Overall though gameplay was decent, and I had a few goes :) (Oh, and unlike others, I hated the scream SFX, but then I didn't get the joke it's referencing ;) ) |
| Apr 30 20:13:04 | 8m 06s | Goals | ♥ 1 | Exactly my kind of game :) Enjoyable puzzle mechanic, obviously pretty short but shows you the concepts nicely. I'm not getting "your life is CURRENCY" super clearly, but it was a tough theme. I've only just started paying games, but this is my fav so far - the music/sounds are really nice and atmospheric too. |
| Apr 30 20:18:11 | 5m 07s | Electric Sheep | ♥ 0 | Doesn't feel like there's much to work towards! The mechanics all seem to work properly, and it's interesting to read how you put it together :) I gave up mid play though - felt too aimless! And if the sheep decide to run away from you, they're the same speed as you, so there's little you can do! |
| Apr 30 20:23:35 | 5m 24s | Cat Your Life on It | ♥ 2 | Looks lovely, and it's a neat game :) I think you explained quite well that it's supposed to be played 2-player, and that not every shot is supposed to take a life off, don't worry! Gets big points for theme, humour and mood from me! The gameplay doesn't have much to it, it's more sort of a "graphic concept" with a bit of gameplay for good measure :) |
| Apr 30 20:30:10 | 6m 35s | InstaLifePlus | ♥ 2 | Very cool. Looks great, sounds great, neat interpretation of the theme :) |
| Apr 30 20:36:01 | 5m 51s | Lost In Limbo | ♥ 0 | Neat prototype of the idea :) I didn't enjoy the main gameplay much, not being a massive fan of platformers tbh, so that kind of kept me from enjoying the game too much - I liked the description of the mechanics, though not sure I'd have picked them up from just playing the game :) |
| Apr 30 20:44:55 | 8m 54s | Bioenfluencer | ♥ 3 | Nice interpretation of the theme, and some satisfying interactions in there :) I found a couple of times I made a creature, hit appraise and got booted out without seeing what it was worth tho (and then the creature was gone from the studio). After that happened twice in a row, I gave up, cos that bit was the satisfying part :) The theming of the world, and the creature building are both fun elements! |
| Apr 30 20:54:38 | 9m 43s | TRIWAR | ♥ 1 | Lovely looking game, great sounds, fun to play - tried some levels a few times to clear them :) Getting your units to actually follow you around was the biggest pain - they don't path very intelligently! Still, really enjoyed it! |
| Apr 30 20:59:54 | 5m 16s | Saxman Gold | ♥ 2 | It's nice :) Looks good, sounds good, plays well! I'm not a fan of idle games, so can't really judge if the gameplay is good - it's not my cup of tea at least! Gave up after a while - didn't feel there was any point or objective I was working towards! |
| Apr 30 21:05:09 | 5m 15s | Sweet Sweet Witch Hunt | ♥ 3 | Gosh that's creepy! I like the art, and the gameplay is neat too - my favourite part is the guns literally shooting the word "BANG" :D That laugh is very annoying after a while though - creepy but annoying! Ended up stopping playing after a while because the difficulty seemed to rap up pretty slowly and not much was changing about the game after playing it for a while! |
| May 1 19:39:00 | 22h 33m | Welcome | ♥ 1 | Haha, ok yeah that was actually really fun - glad I took up your request to give it a play :) Has a really addictive quality - had to keep trying until I could make it the whole way through. I guess my one criticism would be that the theme is only really used to deliver a joke setup to the game, but hey, it was a tricky theme! |
| May 1 19:57:45 | 18m 45s | The Branch | ♥ 2 | Enjoyed the style of this one - and the humour was right up my street :) Lack of much gameplay meant I lost attention though - I know that's what you're going for, just wasn't my cup of tea! |
| May 1 20:58:10 | 1h 00m | Basil Price: Mint Investigator | ♥ 1 | Nice job on this one - enjoyed the nods to Ace Attorney, and the dialog was good. Feel it needs some stronger art to carry it if it were to become a further developed game. And even though it makes for some jokes, it's not a great hit on "use of theme" for me ;) Played through and had good fun :) |
