| Oct 8 00:38:36 | Murder On Peacock Street | ♥ 3 | So I am...a wee bit lost on the ending. It got the (desired) WHAT?! surprise out of me, for that reason. But since I had at least two glitches (first, the known maid one, since I was a fool and didn't read the full page before playing; then, talking to the Mrs. immediately before the door was unlocked, because of lucky mouse clicks since I was multi-clicking everything to make sure I hit an actionable patch of floor) I'm not sure if it was the correct one or if I skipped something else that would've clarified it. The auto-scroll text also may have meant I didn't get all the information that I did access--talking to the maid for the second time, I approached from the wrong side and covered up part of her speech. Then the final phone call was quick and I was distracted by sudden light elsewhere on the screen. All of that said, I love the amount of atmosphere and cliches/tropes you managed to work in before the out of nowhere ending. I'm never a huge fan of voxels and this was still very charming (and I imagine much faster and therefore more polished than if it had been another stylized aesthetic). Also, ensured the dead body etc weren't too creepy/scarring. So good choice! I am detective story trash. | |
| Oct 8 00:54:45 | 16m 09s | Nightwatch | ♥ 1 | Honestly, this was fun playing through the first time even without someone else to compete with. With more levels, that might be enough for the easily amused. Maybe it's my inner criminal nature, but...I mean, I got the most money. Seems good. The flashlight mechanic is brilliant (no pun intended); the alarms and lights going on where you've stolen I would imagine keep it more balanced. And it's really cute. Well done! |
| Oct 8 03:06:34 | 2h 11m | Deboned | ♥ 2 | Aw, it's adorable! I did seemingly soft lock it by trying to bake with bread and seeds. I thought maybe bread on the bottom of the oven crafting would equal the crust of the pumpkin pie, but then it wouldn't remove. So at that point, checking the other ingredients I had for whether they would remove, it looks like only the pumpkins and the sliced pumpkins were set up for crafting. It is pretty addicting (amplified by how late it is and how I'm still giddy from finishing) and took a while; so I didn't risk restarting. But honestly, this is so satisfyingly animated and illustrated and the sound design really helped polish it (it avoided being at all jarring by having the feedback noises blend in with the extended background loop). Since I was a little lost after a while before glitching (and seemingly could only make roast seeds and bread out of sliced pumpkin?), maybe a future version could unlock recipes online as well as the shop (since the internet is a big place). |
| Oct 8 16:01:16 | 12h 54m | Detective Pawsome | ♥ 5 | (From ElysiaGriffin's chat.) I'm in awe of the functionality of the game--and am always in love with detective/crime/hacker aesthetics. Plus the knowledge it's cats, it's almost too much. Truly beautiful. It was a ton of fun. I do wish we got some kind of definition for the words after they're guessed, because yay English (and it would help with lowering the feeling of "that's not a real word! deception!"). As well as it being cool if you said who guessed the full thing first. And yes, we did glitch the game (by guessing the word right as the timer ran out?) and got to the win that way. |
| Oct 9 20:10:20 | 28h 09m | minimal fishing | ♥ 0 | This game puts the fun in functional. And I love that you can continue going and presumably drifting further into the ocean until the monsters of the deep surround you. |
| Oct 11 17:20:30 | 45h 10m | Blank (Demo) | ♥ 1 | This is the cutest. I don't play platformers without getting frustrated and this one was worth downloading 7zip on this computer to access. You timed the obstacles well; the sounds are adorable. Literally the only improvement in the functions you have (though obviously you could add on) is it would be nice for people who straight up walk off the first platform to their deaths (not me, of course not) to have it only rewind to a blank slate if you want to try another configuration. |
| Oct 11 17:39:48 | 19m 18s | Revelator | ♥ 2 | This is great; a fun idea and execution, very directly on-theme. I'm currently enjoying the upbeat arcade music while writing this. The one bug I ran into was my last ball from a multiball powerup knocked the next, waiting ball off the screen and I was unable to continue the level from there (the reset ball button as well as the two remaining effects didn't reset anything). |
