| Oct 8 02:16:30 | Dusk Strider | ♥ 1 | A fun mechanic and overall enjoyable game that can be played with one hand. Quite liked the color scheme and I felt the character movements were fluid. Sound stopped shortly after starting for me. One of the checkpoints was placed above spikes and put me in an infinite death loop which is where I stopped. Before this happened though, the platforming challenges were very fun. | |
| Oct 8 02:47:01 | 30m 31s | Bumpkin's Spooky Adventure | ♥ 1 | At first I was like "Man im so weak." then I was like "Man Im so strong!". Really like how attack upgrades were not just an increase in damage numbers. I think the coins should had scrolled towards the left when they are dropped. Hard to get more coins when you kill enemies as soon as they appear due to high attack upgrades. |
| Oct 8 03:04:06 | 17m 05s | Full Moon | ♥ 2 | I came for a full moon and I was not dissapointed. Nice timing of the scene transitions! |
| Oct 8 13:54:34 | 10h 50m | Nun in the Chamber | ♥ 1 | Nice job on the enemy AI. I love how they can figure out how to get around doors if u try to get them stuck and how they scatter if you try to rush them. Made it hard to find exploits to the system. And exploits tend to ruin games are designed to be soul-crushingly hard, lol. Nice work! |
| Oct 8 14:14:10 | 19m 36s | Wisp | ♥ 2 | Nice job with level design. I can tell you guys spent some time getting the levels to flow well as the player gets comfortable with the controls. And the interplay between the different sizes was great! |
| Oct 8 14:36:11 | 22m 01s | Leaf blower | ♥ 2 | Nice job with the physics of this game. It was fun to discover how to navigate the environments. And I like how it was challenging but the checkpoints were generous. Made the challenge fell less frustrating and more relaxing which was the mood you were going for. |
| Oct 8 15:15:03 | 38m 52s | Nothing Matters | ♥ 8 | Truly "Nothing" is only a state of mind. This game made me look at the world and my relationships differently. Really though, I thought this game was going to be cheesy but that quote in the first level and how the mechanic was introduced was great. Speaking of the mechanic. It was very cool, I have not seen anything like it and it made for some fun discovery as I learned about the extent of the mechanic. Especially in later levels where you have to mix the nothing mechanic and the items you actually hold. The music was really nice as well, putting me in a bit of a zen state as I figured out the puzzles. Nice work! The mechanic would make for a cool full game. |
| Oct 8 15:41:40 | 26m 37s | Addicted | ♥ 2 | This was a nice horror game. I felt pretty spooked through it. The only thing that ruined the mood somewhat was the dolls T-posing right before attacking but it was a good laugh. Wasn't sure how to escape so I didn't finish it but from what I played it was a nice visual and auditory spectacle! |
| Oct 8 16:43:58 | 1h 02m | Just A Minute | ♥ 1 | I like how this was essentially a puzzle of conversations. Also these characters really do like to waste your time. But that is fine cause of how amusing all of them were! |
| Oct 12 04:08:51 | 83h 24m | Murder On Peacock Street | ♥ 1 | I like the graphics. They look well polished. I also like how you went for a cinematic mood. It would be nice if the dialogue could appear above object like with the character tending the bushes. |
| Oct 12 04:22:31 | 13m 40s | Nothing On Frontlines | ♥ 1 | I really appreciate how there is an tutorial room to allow the player to be comfortable with the game before starting the real game. Made the game a lot more enjoyable as I was able to learn things at my own pace rather than scramble to not lose immediately. Core concept of the game is straightforward and effective. The addition of walls as your progress is also great. I think my only criticism would be to add a visual indicator of getting hit (maybe a red screen flash). I also think de-spawning the bullets on the ground at a faster rate would be good. Overall Nice! |
| Oct 12 04:37:27 | 14m 56s | Save Her! | ♥ 1 | This was pretty fun. The art is cute and I like how you made it so that you clearly should NOT step on that porcupine though its design. Character could be a bit heavier and some platforms a bit wider but overall nicely done! |
| Oct 12 05:18:00 | 40m 33s | Nude In The Forest | ♥ 3 | This game looks great! The world looks interesting and I love the color scheme. The player walk cycle is also nice. It would had been nice to add a simple tune for the level to complete the atmosphere. My biggest criticism is that I think melee enemies should have dealt damage after a wind up animation. Allowing you to weave in attacks without getting hurt if you are skilled enough. Because you instantly get hit when touching a melee enemy it makes using the crossbow a much better option. It was a cool adventure, nice job! |
| Oct 12 13:33:57 | 8h 15m | Tender | ♥ 0 | The audio and visuals combine for some interesting ambience to the gameplay. Took a bit of time to figure out what too do but not crazy long. |
| Oct 12 13:41:42 | 7m 45s | Catsaway | ♥ 0 | That was stressful in a cool way. Dying the first time and hearing that horrifying sound really made me not want to die the second time. Going through the game with the music speeding up and those off putting graphics left me in an odd trance state of NOT DYING. This might haunt me whenever I lose my internet connection. |
| Oct 12 13:54:23 | 12m 41s | Space trial | ♥ 1 | I think you guys did a good job easing the player into the mechanics. There was a good variety of abilities. I think the enemy difficulty could ramp up a bit faster as the player gets a lot stronger very quickly, leading to less strategy and more spamming strong attacks. Besides that the art is great and I think this is a cool spin on combat! |
| Oct 12 14:18:35 | 24m 12s | Small Town | ♥ 1 | Great art, your style is very soft and inviting! The songs could be a bit harsh and hard to listen too. The book choosing minigame being the biggest example. |
| Oct 12 14:31:57 | 13m 22s | Reutemeteut (web) | ♥ 2 | Fun game. At first I thought the ball had too much inertia but I got used to it. Level design is interesting and I usually hate wall-jumping mechanics cause they tend to feel unnatural but I think you did a really good job with it here. I especially like how u can use the wall jumping to save yourself from death, but it is not so forgiving that it works every time. Like others said, the most important thing about graphics is that they communicate clearly what needs to be known about the gameplay. I think you did a great job with that here! |
| Oct 12 14:40:30 | 8m 33s | Inky escape | ♥ 1 | That was a pretty unique experience for me. I think you did a good job with the difficulty curve. The music was great as well, it fit the mood of the game and there was a good amount of variety. You did a good job making an addicting experience as this game is a great fusion of two different gameplay types I would never had thought would work well together. The numbers next to the buttons was confusing at first as I thought I had to press that button that amount of times, but when I caught on to what they represent, it helped me to react to the button prompts much quicker. |
| Oct 12 14:45:31 | 5m 01s | Word Crush | ♥ 2 | This is an amazing idea and I think it would make for a great full game as the possibilities are endless. The graphics are simple but are well juiced and really add to the charm. I also adore the music. A great spin of a crossword puzzle and a game puzzle. I wish it was longer but I think the little we got to experience was amazing! Nice work! |
| Oct 12 17:30:16 | 2h 44m | Thierry's Adventure | ♥ 1 | Presentation is nice and makes me feel like im playing a much older game in a good way! The wall jumping was pretty frustrating and I wish the levels has less of it. Besides that, its cool how you gain more skills over time. |
| Oct 12 17:36:00 | 5m 44s | ZomPunch | ♥ 1 | I need to know the story behind this man. Why is he half-naked? What happened to the city? Is he cold? When did zombies get proficient at riding motorcycles? This game gave me a really good laugh and I had some fun with the gameplay. Music gave a kinda dreadful feel to such ridiculous visuals. Nice work! |
| Oct 12 18:40:46 | 1h 04m | The Factory | ♥ 2 | Sfx is on point here. Helps make the place feel more alive as the sounds get louder and softer depending on the room you are in. If it wasn't for that I don't think I would had been as invested in the game. You really took advantage of the factory setting in that department. |
| Oct 12 18:52:05 | 11m 19s | The items, that change everything | ♥ 0 | I like how you added a message to take away from with this game. A cool spin on the "Start With Nothing" theme. The puzzles were less mind games and more trying everything until something works for me, except for the last one. I really liked how you finish the game. Audio was also nice, helped me to get lost in the game world. |
| Oct 12 19:54:53 | 1h 02m | New Project | ♥ 0 | I knew one of the "start from nothing" games would be something like this and I am not disappointed. You guys did a great job making the game feel like it was being created as you progress (just needs 20 cans of empty monster energy drinks). The animations from the square to the bipedal character were great and well juiced. I also got a good chuckle from all those script names. Only problem is the platforming was awkward due to feeling a floaty (possibly due to gravity not being strong enough) plus very small platforms to land on, this wouldn't be so bad if the camera didn't follow the player so tightly making it hard to see the ground you want to land on. Also wasn't sure if this was intentional but my controls were reversed when I got to advance movement. Despite all this I am impressed with the amount of things done in 72 hours and still rate this game highly and recommend it to my friends. Great Job! |
| Oct 12 20:33:30 | 38m 37s | Karl and Timmy | ♥ 0 | Very funny game. I bursted out laughing for a good minute within the first few sentences. Art is pretty good as well. The mechanics are also solid, I like the stress mechanic which gave a surprising amount of dept (pun intended) to combat. |
| Oct 16 02:07:43 | 77h 34m | Started from the bottom | ♥ 0 | Quite the assortment of minigames. Gave me a good laugh. The 3rd minigame controls were confusing but didn't frustrate me since you are allowed to mess up alot. |
| Oct 19 03:31:00 | 73h 23m | バクラウBloodless | ♥ 4 | Great game and unique concept. I think this a great interpritation of the Start with nothing theme. I also think you guys nailed the difficulty. I felt myself get better and I didnt get too frustrated along the way. Movement speed felt a bit sluggish and hit boxes felt a bit bigger than they should be on the red enemies but besides that amazing work! |
| Oct 19 03:48:41 | 17m 41s | Nothing Ground Down Nothing | ♥ 1 | This was a really cool game to go through. I think there are only 6 stages? It stopped after I finished that stage. I think the puzzles were challenging but not too difficult. I felt very satisfied when I figured out each stage. Great concept with endless possibilities. Visuals are minimal but effective. |
| Oct 19 03:57:26 | 8m 45s | Hungry Holly | ♥ 1 | At first I was thinking the game would be boring but as the difficulty slowly ramped up I was having more and more fun which was a pleasant surprise! |
| Oct 20 01:19:57 | 21h 22m | Inventory Loss | ♥ 1 | How dare you. How do you expect me to get rid of everything when the objects keep making me laugh lol. Nice game. |
| Oct 20 01:46:34 | 26m 37s | Tightrope Gauntlet | ♥ 1 | It was a good call to make the death sequence skippable. I think what often makes a hard reaction heavy game enjoyable is the ability to be able to retry quickly. I don't think I would had gotten as far if it wasn't for that. This is an entry I enjoyed alot because I could really feel myself getting better. At first I was blaming the controls when I got rekt, but as I experimented more I found that the controls were pretty tight! The random generation of the enemies and weapons could get a bit annoying as the weapon would fly along a row of enemies sometimes. To mitigate that I think increasing the rate the weapons spawn might be a good idea. I will say however I felt a big feeling of satisfaction when I caught a weapons and I was suddenly overpowered. tight rope LD45.png Overall amazing job! I have to say, whenever I died and all the red guys just turned to stare at me I truly felt defeat lol. |
| Oct 20 02:16:02 | 29m 28s | Neon Void | ♥ 2 | First of all the art is amazing. Second of all the music is amazing. 3rd of all the concept is amazing. I think the one big flaw of the game is the control scheme. I didn't really want to switch between all the powers due to how far I had to stretch my hand to hit some of them. Also really like the ending. I see what you did there. |
| Oct 21 02:45:33 | 24h 29m | Shuǐmòhuà | ♥ 1 | This is cool. It felt like abstract art but in game form. The sounds really complement the visuals leading to a very relaxing experience. Good call deciding not to give the player any information. The sense of discovery I got out of this was great. |
| Oct 21 03:01:38 | 16m 05s | Healthy Competition | ♥ 2 | Cute main character. Difficulty ramps up quite a bit but becomes manageable after some upgrades. Attacking was a bit odd with it being based on which direction you last moved. I think attacking should be based on where you click since enemies can move fast and attacking while running away can be difficult. The boss was also surprisingly easy |
| Oct 21 03:23:39 | 22m 01s | Trick or Retreat | ♥ 1 | Great choice in music it really complements the risk vs reward gameplay. I was trying to get to 100 but died at the last second. This was really fun. Great job! |
| Oct 26 07:40:25 | 124h 16m | Spikt | ♥ 1 | It was fun collecting the parts and gaining more abilities over time. This game has a nice progression to it. I got confused when one of the parts made me lose my arms. Not sure if that was intentional |
| Oct 26 08:01:59 | 21m 34s | Terminal Reset | ♥ 2 | Great game. It is impressive how you essentially made two games and combined them into one. The progression feels pretty rewarding. Sprinting is somewhat awkward (very fast and useful in only one part) and the SHMUP portions could had used a bit of a invicibility-on-hit. Despite this I had a blast with the challenge and the final SHMUP was really fun. |
| Oct 26 08:36:01 | 34m 02s | Rebuild of Edge | ♥ 1 | Mood wise this is one of my favorite games. I love the storytelling and it motivated me to move on from level to level. Even to replay the game to get the full picture of what is going on. This is a nice physics platformer which introduces concepts and controls at a nice pace so that the game doesnt get too intimidating. Great Work! |
| Oct 26 08:55:25 | 19m 24s | Once upon a chip | ♥ 2 | Great graphics and audio very charming. I had trouble with the first level cause I would often get stuck in place when trying to jump which was pretty frustrating |
| Oct 26 08:59:14 | 3m 49s | Crazy Run Game | ♥ 1 | Funny graphics (and made me a biiiiiiiiiiiiit uncomfortable but in a good way). Not really sure what is the point of collecting body parts. It seems staying a head is better for a smaller hit box. |
