Oct 6 23:35:35		Egg Problem	♥ 1	Really good. Really liked the sound effect for shooting. You didn't have any music but the shoot effect seemed to oh most turn into a nice beat for the game. My only complaint is that I would have liked for there to be a pause between waves as it felt a little like once I started losing I quickly started heading downhill.
Oct 7 00:00:28	24m 53s	Start Powerless	♥ 2	Really enjoyable. I have never used Stencyl before so I can't comment as to the limitations of its ability to implement movement, but I found it a little difficult to accurately figure out where I should from. Some jumps I seemed to be fine with jumping from the block I was standing on others I found I couldn't make unless I was standing basically in mid air with just the hit-boxes of the player and floor touching. All this being said you made a really great game. Not only does it match the theme, but its interesting to play and looks really nice. If it controlled a little better I would put this on par with some indie games I have bought and paid for.
Oct 7 00:18:30	18m 02s	Start With Rain	♥ 1	My first Jam game was a clicker so I may be a little biased in saying that I really enjoyed this. Most clickers take forever to get anything interesting happening which usually doesn't work out well for a game jam audience, but the desert slowly turning green then blue then to islands then a waterworld actually made it a lot better. Also consider me super jelly of your music skill. I can hardly string together a chord and you are giving off the mood and vibe of a desert. Really good.
Oct 7 00:38:48	20m 18s	Star Twit: H. Nothing	♥ 2	Very enjoyable sound was definitely a little louder than I would have liked. Took me a little longer to beat because I got distracted playing around with the physics engine (may or may not have tried to beat an entire level using only bouncy balls as my method of locomotion). Really was great fun.
Oct 7 00:46:40	7m 52s	The Journey of Life	♥ 1	"You lacked creativity a bit, but still A for effort" why... why must you portray my game jam experiences so accurately. On a more serious note would have liked some feedback for button presses or even just some ambient noise. I know those can be the hardest things to get going in a game jam as they take so much time and if you don't have any experience making music or SFX it can seem daunting, but without them the game feels very empty.
Oct 7 00:52:59	6m 19s	Unstable Ground	♥ 1	Your art style is nice, but your sound effect for jumping is a little loud especially when compared to the sound effect for shooting which was so quite I didn't realize it was playing at first. I do appreciate you having remappable controls although I did find the text telling me to pick a button a little hard to read. All in all a pretty enjoyable game.
Oct 7 01:03:22	10m 23s	No.thing	♥ 1	I enjoyed this. I especially enjoyed it when I realized that I had just looped myself through the conversation with the Lord. Very clever how you did that. Not really a lot can go wrong with a good old text adventure like this. Would have liked some music or sound effects but this was so short it wasn't a real bother. I did like how as you progress through the loop the clickable text color changes when you hover over it from light blue to pink (note I am using f.lux so it might be some other color than pink and I just can't tell sorry!) helps break up the monotony of the same text repeating.
Oct 7 01:10:54	7m 32s	Pit Fight	♥ 0	Arrow is definitely the best. Actually took me a minute to find my enemy to kill him. Let me just say your music was great a nice simple loop that conveyed the mood and feel of the game. Did notice that sometimes I would try to walk through a doorway right at the edge and get stuck with the player hitbox and wall colliding never got stuck but had to stop and walk away from the wall then walk through the doorway.
Oct 7 01:16:34	5m 40s	Buzzsaw Cat	♥ 1	Nice. Never played much Pico-8 before, but this was a good experience. Really liked the music and sound effects they had a nice feel to them. Wasn't a huge fan of the battle at the end. Felt a little like I was just doing the same thing over and over again without going anywhere and then the cat died. Dash is definitely a little OP there where times where I should have gotten hit by the saws and passed right though them by dashing.
Oct 7 01:31:27	14m 53s	From Space	♥ 1	Really good with the exception of moving the player around. It just felt a little slippery which would be fine if I didn't get my first couple of rooms forming in a square the required tight cornering. Im sure over time I would get used to it but as a first experience it was not so great. Other than that I really enjoyed it. I do wish there was a little more time between waves of enemy attack, also I didn't know what the pink square did at first (I figured it out pretty quick but some instructions on what the different room types are would have been great.) Really loved your music and the sound for shooting they where very mellow and good. Also without going into full screen mode the game window was a little small for my taste (checking it is size 960x600 abouts)
Oct 7 02:54:38	1h 23m	Space Crash	♥ 1	Played pretty good, but I found a bug right at the end. When I got to the gameover\you lose text prompt I quickly hit enter to try again and found I still had all the stones I had gotten before and none of the enemy's I had already run into played there sound or moved when I came near them. Other than that the game was fun and I really liked the music.
Oct 7 03:06:16	11m 38s	Appeasing the Quadopus	♥ 1	Definitely worth playing for the amount of giggles I had while playing. I was already charmed by calling it a Quadopus but when I saw the hamburger take of his top bun to use it as a shield I knew that this was going to be good. Only real complaint is that its really hard to understand the voice acting but you put text with it as well so that wasn't a real problem. Also some glitchyness with the donut fight but nothing game breaking.
Oct 7 03:15:17	9m 01s	Alchemy Jam	♥ 0	Very cute. I really like the sound and music but I absolutely adore the graphics. On the gameplay front I enjoyed the time element although my first play through felt a little pressed as I realized there was a timer then I realized how slowly I read on my second playthrough I could get right to work so that really made the diffrence in getting a good score. All in all a very fun little game that is also super cute looking.
Oct 7 03:28:26	13m 09s	Sokobaiogenesis	♥ 1	I am terrible at Sokoban games but this was pretty fun. I got stuck a lot but that is more to my own general incompetence than your puzzle design. I really like the art style reminds me very much of pico-8 games. I also think you did a really good job matching your mechanics to the theme. Really good job.
Oct 7 03:43:38	15m 12s	Nothing To The Moon	♥ 1	Really enjoyable. Controls felt a little slippery but this game doesn't really call for precise controls so it doesn't matter. Really liked the push pull mechanic (especially with the giant AA battery) I would play a game that was just solving problems using that. Biggest flaw in this entire game is the computer password is just long enough that by letter four I am jamming on my number keys and end up skipping the letter I wanted to stop on and have to try again, but that's more my fault than your.
Oct 7 03:51:36	7m 58s	Nothing On Frontlines	♥ 2	Pretty fun with laying down towers and destroying enemy's, but the gun fire sound effect started to grate on me a little bit.
Oct 7 04:00:57	9m 21s	Ex Nihilo	♥ 0	Pretty cool. Although I played the Web version so I don't know if its different on the desktop version if it has a bigger view space or something but I found it very hard to avoid making black holes, and then once I had one everything I made just naturally fell into it.
Oct 7 04:08:55	7m 58s	The Void	♥ 1	Really nice sounds the music track that plays in this is really nice to listen and I didn't realize it until the music left and I was about to fight the void and grabbed a weapon that the weapons had a sound for swinging them. I wish the void showed some sign it was damaged but it not having a hurt frame didn't stop me from beating the game so alls well that ends well.
Oct 7 04:31:29	22m 34s	Gridwords	♥ 0	I'm not that great of a scrabble player but this is really quite the interesting puzzle game. Certainly makes great use of the theme and is pretty fun. Personally I'm not one for word games most of the time but this was pretty enjoyable to try and struggle my way through a couple puzzles.
Oct 7 04:57:21	25m 52s	Ad Infinitum	♥ 1	Really good game, glad I played it with f.lux enabled on my desktop otherwise the white mixed with other bright colors would really have put a strain on my eyes. That being said it was fun enough game I would have been willing to put that strain on with no second guessing. This is a really solid game.
Oct 7 18:56:09	13h 58m	LIFE IS HELL	♥ 1	Had a little trouble with the first jump but once I realized it was impossible to make with a single jump I figured out I probably had a double jump and it all went pretty smoothly from there. Also liked the music its a simple loop but it helps break up the monotony of when I fail a jump for the fourth time.
Oct 7 19:09:21	13m 12s	Scrap Spaceship	♥ 3	Pretty fun although on my first attempt of a play through I missed the fact that it told me how many hull, thruster, and turret pieces I had left until I had just about ran out turrets. Really neat idea to put ships together in this way,
Oct 7 19:19:57	10m 36s	Souliseum	♥ 1	Really good my only complaint is that I wish there was some way to know where the enemies where gonna spawn for the next round because I ended up standing right on top of them and getting damaged at the start of the round. Outside of that a really nice game with really nice graphics (Seriously whoever gave the Slime sunglasses needs to be given a high five for his top shelf enemy design).
Oct 7 19:29:00	9m 03s	It never started with nothing	♥ 2	Wow this was really good. Your music, mechanic, and art style all played well together giving your game a mood that then also matched well with the theme. This is an A+ game.
Oct 7 19:49:19	20m 19s	Dr. Deckenstein: Escape from Castle Brainia	♥ 2	The dash "WEEEE" sound effect definitely got a chuckle out of me. I do have to complain about the falling rocks there where definitely times where I had just spawned or just started a jump and one came on screen and knocked me back. I mean the game has infinite lives and a fair checkpoint system but it just feels bad to get hit as soon as you spawn. Other than that good game.
Oct 7 20:01:16	11m 57s	PlainMan	♥ 1	Fun game with a nice little twist ending. One problem with this game though is that the audio is all very much focused in the left ear. When climbing the tree to save the cat you can actually heart the audio bleed more into the right ear as you approach the left hand side of the screen. Its just noticeable enough to be a little distracting.
Oct 7 21:05:51	1h 04m	Bacteria	♥ 1	Interesting game wish I had a little more instructions to go on but it was fun to play.
Oct 7 21:18:19	12m 28s	Little one	♥ 2	Nice little game. I really enjoyed the quick little play through I did. Also high points in audio for actually including an in-game audio slider really helps improve quality of life while playing.
Oct 7 21:23:53	5m 34s	Living Forrest	♥ 1	Very difficult. Maybe I'm just bad at the game, but I found it really hard to hold back the onslaught of bulldozers that started showing up. I enjoyed this game besides that point. You've got nice sounds and music that don't wear on the ear and thats really good.
Oct 7 21:36:36	12m 43s	The Persistent Thief	♥ 1	Kinda wacky controls but it doesn't take long to get used them. Really liked location specific sound effects.
Oct 7 21:45:51	9m 15s	Amnesiac Adventurer	♥ 1	Really good little puzzle game. Little confusing how the player walks backwards but makes sense with the entire idea of the game and all. My only real critical point of this game is actually your color scheme for your Itch page is neon blue which really strains my eyes but gameplay wise you made a really good game.
Oct 7 21:53:47	7m 56s	In the beginning	♥ 1	Shame you didn't manage to make it to seven days in the time limit. Judging based solely on what we got I would say you have a solid foundation of platformed controls but I really wish there was more in the first levels.
Oct 7 22:29:20	35m 33s	Seven Dwarves Brawl	♥ 1	Intersting mechanic and a nice looking game.
Oct 7 22:40:21	11m 01s	Start with WHITE	♥ 1	Really fun arcade type game. I find the color matching to be a little difficult mostly because I'm terrible at art, but also because sometimes it feels a little like you get a bunch of color at random. It took me a minute to realize that you get more color from larger dots (I think, I might just seeing stuff).
Oct 7 23:27:46	47m 25s	Rolley Sh❤t	♥ 3	Very enjoyable definitely got a giggle out of me with the picture of the lady bug just being another bug with a bow.
