Oct 7 13:40:33		BlockBeat	♥ 0	Good idea and fun to play at first. But 2 out of 3 tries the game doesn't recognize the shape is correct and I had to skip it even if it was completed. Not sure why, if there are some tricks (some cube hard to see so I thought it was completed but it was not) or if the validation is broken. Still the result is unfortunately that it feels a bit frustrating.
Oct 7 19:25:08	5h 44m	14 billion years	♥ 1	Quite interesting but becomes very laggy around 3rd level. The audio SFX is good, but the background audio a bit too "intense", although I guess it gives to the atmosphere. Couldn't really get past level 3 unfortunately so a bit frustrating I had to stop before the browser crashed :(
Oct 7 19:26:50	1m 42s	PlainMan	♥ 0	Win10 firefox gets me "abort(114). Build with -s ASSERTIONS=1 for more info"
Oct 7 20:03:18	36m 28s	Click-N-Move	♥ 1	That is a pretty fun game, congrats! A bit difficult at start, and a bit too easy in the middle, but getting a good balance eventually around 100k! Damn robots are tough... Audio is a bit repetitive and sfx is basic (except the damage one, high quality! 😁), although it gets the job done.
Oct 7 20:09:46	6m 28s	The Runner	♥ 1	Very cool audio! :) Interesting concept, but in the end it seems this is only based on shear luck, no? So past the wow effect it gets boring quite fast.
Oct 7 20:13:17	3m 31s	Blank Page Syndrome	♥ 0	I have no idea what is going on. Am I controlling that pale yellow thing over a white background? I can't see anything unfortunately. Things are happening and I can't make sense of them :(
Oct 7 20:20:44	7m 27s	There is more	♥ 1	There were very good ideas, it's a shame this was so short. Maybe missing some very simple background audio. Overall pretty consistent, nice platformer. Did you realize the LMB platform can be moved at will between jumps, so basically ruins the level since you can access anywhere with it? 😀
Oct 7 20:25:30	4m 46s	Witch's Cauldron	♥ 1	I got the frogs, but couldn't understand anything else. Got killed by dragons (?) but I am supposed to collect their scales, how? Good overall idea, descent music and graphics, but couldn't understand the game so not much fun unfortunately.
Oct 7 20:37:00	11m 30s	The Scout	♥ 1	That camera motion is... interesting 😁 Cool idea, but I ended up wandering around without really knowing where I was going, until I found the medallion by chance, and gave up on coming back because the character was a bit too slow, and I quickly lost track of directions.
Oct 7 20:43:20	6m 20s	Amor Fati	♥ 1	Very good mood and polish, attention to details (that itch.io theme matching the game's is rad). Good introduction and storytelling, but the game was too short once you realized you can spam LMB to get through it. Kudos on the non-violent theme. 👍 PS: I thought we cannot use external audio in Compo and have to make it from scratch?
Oct 7 21:00:02	16m 42s	Bartered	♥ 1	@mathstr0fficial summarized it pretty well, it feels like a waste to have such a good polish on a compo entry with graphics and gameplay depth, and fall short on move speed and a somewhat confusing UI. The universal "trade UI" is one trader on the left and the other trader on the right; I still don't understand the UI so pressed all possible buttons and got stuck immediately. I am not inclined to visit all shops and design a strategy when the character is slow and I have only 60 seconds :(
Oct 8 21:19:22	24h 19m	Life to Live	♥ 1	Interesting idea, pretty good game if not for the missing audio. Quite hard and somewhat creepy though.
Oct 8 21:38:37	19m 15s	Polterheist	♥ 2	Very good entry, loved the dialogs and the humour. Movements are a bit slow, as you tend to go back and forth to find the right trigger. Music and graphics are quite good quality. Overall quite enjoyed playing! Congrats 😁
Oct 8 21:48:57	10m 20s	Caravan Wars	♥ 1	Interesting concept. Took a few tries to understand how to play. It's lacking some audio, which would have helped understand the gameplay I think. Otherwise pretty solid mechanics, not that easy. Nice ✌️
Oct 8 21:59:41	10m 44s	Sneeter	♥ 1	Very inventive and unexpected entry! Graphics are funny but make the UI a bit confusing with the all-pink color palette and thick borders. Quite fun game at first, although I am not sure if I need to remember the names of all sneeters over rounds or not? Otherwise how can I guess at each round? I mostly played randomly without really understanding what I was doing, which kills the fun after a few rounds of reading the hilarious variations.
Oct 8 22:06:34	6m 53s	Untitled Goop Game	♥ 1	I loved the in-game tutorial (buttons inside the level) and the very cool and unusual sticky effect! Great game and great levels, gets hard pretty fast but very interesting. Some simple background music would have make this even better, although the sound effects are pretty good.
Oct 8 22:15:17	8m 43s	Cascade	♥ 1	Doesn't work with Firefox nor Edge. Chrome was ok. Pretty interesting concept and nice graphics, but the single-sound effect makes the gameplay a bit confusing, as the dodge animation is fast (as expected) so it's not always clear if you hit or got hit. Would also have benefited from some form of background music. Game is hard without being unforgiving, good balance.
Oct 8 22:19:16	3m 59s	Acorn Rush	♥ 2	Nice music but the audio effect on moving get annoying fast. I couldn't understand what to do once I collected some acorn, so ended up with a score of 0, which is quite frustrating.
Oct 8 22:36:11	16m 55s	Paws of Gold	♥ 1	As already mentioned, skipping dialogs would have been nice. Some background music too. Overall good entry with some interesting concept, but the prices feel too random, like the cat saying that an item's average price is X when the previous day it said 3*X. So the mechanics feel random and it's unclear how to make some good profit, which makes the game drag too much (I stopped at 200, after several days of trade, that was becoming too monotonic).
Oct 8 22:48:26	12m 15s	Trashwars	♥ 2	Very solid overall entry, with decent everything, including title screen. I missed the instructions in the separate image instead of inside the game, and with not-so-intuitive key mapping couldn't figure out how to do anything during almost the entire first game. Otherwise I liked it quite a lot, except for some phases where CPU has a slight time advantage and both sides spam some Sexy, resulting in the CPU accumulating points since they collide always on my side and have same power. That results in a possible situation where the game gets rigged unless the attacker stops spamming.
Oct 10 19:21:30	44h 33m	Nothing Box	♥ 1	Same as @shrapx I cannot get past that oversized axe. 😫
Oct 10 19:31:16	9m 46s	The Desert of Nothingness	♥ 1	This is a very good idea, but hard to grasp at first, and pretty hard to play from the start. Pros: - Good game mechanics - Decently usable UI Cons: - Lack of music/sfx - A bit hard at the beginning, could have slowed down the timer to start - Lack of explanation of the selling system Congrats on the first entry! 👍
Oct 10 19:35:16	4m 00s	Cemetery Sweep	♥ 1	I liked the game mechanics, although it's tough from the start (didn't finish a single level). Audio and graphics were ok. Cool entry!
Oct 10 19:52:20	17m 04s	Escape Room	♥ 1	Pretty good idea, and very clever use of the light-as-blocker to balance the reward it gives. Nice touch with the background music and sfx, missing on a lot of entries unfortunately.
Oct 10 19:56:33	4m 13s	Colour Shot	♥ 1	Very good entry which really lack only by the absence of music! Otherwise pretty well polished for a compo entry, I'm quite impressed, congrats!
Oct 10 20:02:49	6m 16s	Global Warming Is Coming	♥ 1	Interesting and ambitious idea! I liked the idle (?) animation on the axe while I was trying to figure out how to build that raft. A tiny bit confusing to find the axe and build. Would have been even better with audio, even a very simple background sound. Congrats on the entry!
Oct 10 20:21:02	18m 13s	The Card Crafter	♥ 2	This is a very good game! Seriously one of the best entries I rated so far. The game is a bit easy, so would need rebalancing, and of course audio, but otherwise it's a solid game with good mechanics, that really shows some potential to be developed into something really amazing. Congratulations, really! You're much too hard on yourself, this is an awesome entry!
