| Apr 19 18:43:09 | Keep Your Rage Alive! | ♥ 2 | Awesome game you've made, congrats! There were lots of neat things in the levels I played (I got to the second one with green barrels) The animation of the opening text was nice, the explosion sounds v. realistic :P and the TNT and gun turrets were lots of fun to mess around with. | |
| Apr 19 18:53:26 | 10m 17s | campfire | ♥ 3 | A Pico-8 game, very impressive! I really like the colour scheme you went for and the music changing depending on the state of the game. Very stylish minimalism all round :) I had a look at the source code, I didn't realise Pico-8 was scripted in Lua, neat! Love the way the graphics and sound are encoded right there in the same file too. |
| Apr 19 19:02:38 | 9m 12s | The Game of our Lives | ♥ 2 | Beautiful game there. I really liked that you decided to add a voice-over to add to the experience. Just like Conway's game of life little clusters of cells do the best. I still liked making as many as I could in close confines for the nice particle effects. |
| Apr 19 22:19:00 | 3h 16m | Shy Talker - Keep the Conversation Alive | ♥ 2 | Good use of the theme, I liked that you had a running score of correct guesses so that making mistakes wasn't automatically a failure. Challenging game, much like real life D: |
| Apr 19 22:21:45 | 2m 45s | In A Game Wherein | ♥ 2 | Meta commentary for us all 😄 I thought the choice of colour and presentation was nice. |
| Apr 19 22:30:08 | 8m 23s | Star Buffs | ♥ 2 | Challenging game, reminded me of geometry wars. I really like the neon lighting the ships and the bullets have. I managed to kill 18 enemy ships but I suspect I was playing it wrong as I never switched. |
| Apr 20 05:03:51 | 6h 33m | Cellular: Automata | ♥ 3 | Loved it, great use of the theme and the Game of Life. I really liked the presentation of the project with well laid out interface. I too find cellular automata fascinating and have made games exhibiting it in the past, a good memorial :) |
| Apr 20 05:26:00 | 22m 09s | Soul Survivor | ♥ 0 | I really liked how simple and effective the controls were, only shooting in cardinal directions makes the action more exciting. Good feel on the shots with recoil and passing through enemies. The gems were a bit hard to pick up for me only managed about 3. The soul is a cute companion 👻 |
| Apr 20 05:37:07 | 11m 07s | Not Clowning Around! | ♥ 1 | Difficult game here, at least on easy you can win just by talking to him. I had problems getting the cannon to fire, the button seemed to be obscured by the buttons on the itch.io interface. Still I liked the sound design. |
| Apr 20 06:52:07 | 1h 15m | Tiny Fragments | ♥ 9 | Wonderfully innovative gameplay here, really liked the additional puzzle elements that get added in the levels. Lovely music and graphics as well, the polish is incredible for a compo entry 😃 👍 |
| Apr 20 07:09:54 | 17m 47s | Keep Vlad Alive | ♥ 1 | A puzzler farming game, lovely :D I thought the animations were really neat and the concept of a vegetarian vampire amusing 👍 |
| Apr 20 07:24:02 | 14m 08s | Save Ivee | ♥ 2 | The tutorial was very good, glad the game had that to get used to the controls. I found the game to be quite difficult as I wasn't sure how to get to the colours of the crystals with the colours provided. Art was nice and the sound effect was good :) |
| Apr 20 07:47:12 | 23m 10s | EICON TOWN | ♥ 1 | Wow this game is complex for a compo entry, congrats! :o Really like that there is a little town to run around in, the graphic style is simple and stylish. Took a while to work out how the economy worked but once I did I was running to a fro like a busy little bee. I hope you continue to iterate on this game once the competition is over, I think it could become a full fledged title :D |
| Apr 20 10:40:21 | 2h 53m | LifeLine - Music Pattern Obstacle Dodge | ♥ 1 | How did you make such nice music with procedural generation, amazing! :D The music is phenomenal, still listening to the guitar on the gameover screen as I type. The graphics are a nice Tron-like synthesizer style. It was neat listening to the procedural song as you play, only issue I had was stepping on too many green spikes and speeding up to an unmanageable amount. |
| Apr 20 10:53:41 | 13m 20s | Bubby | ♥ 1 | Bubby is such a cute 🐶 (is he a dog?) and I enjoyed the Lemmings-esque gameplay. You did good in coming up with as many levels as you did, bravo 👍 |
| Apr 20 11:12:23 | 18m 42s | Carry the Fire | ♥ 1 | Quite a tricky little platformer. The pixel art flame effects were lovely. I managed to get to the point where you have to throw the torch but didn't get further. Was there meant to be music playing? web version seemed silent. Again quality pixel art 👍 |
| Apr 20 11:17:03 | 4m 40s | Feeding Mr Biggs | ♥ 1 | Cute robot and nice artstyle. The game didn't run too well for me in the browser so I didn't play for very long. 🤖 🍔 |
| Apr 20 11:31:39 | 14m 36s | Plant (Panic) | ♥ 1 | I've never seen a PixelVision8 game before, reminds me of the gameboy advance 😃 The music changing for the bug attack was neat and I liked the dinky pixel art used for everything. Simple but elegant 🍃 |
| Apr 20 11:37:01 | 5m 22s | Be a Good Friend | ♥ 1 | Cute game with cute pets 🐶 🌵 |
| Apr 20 12:30:52 | 53m 51s | Grove Guardian | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game and even more impressive for being made in just 48 hours :O I found spamming roots everywhere to work well and then build up lots of trees to acquire sunlight and storage. Only lost a few exploratory root networks before winning on day 16 with a battery of cacti 🌵 |
| Apr 20 12:50:20 | 19m 28s | Life | ♥ 1 | Hooray another game based on Conway's Game of Life! Really liked the collection of little patterns you had to explore (R-pentomino is a favourite of mine) and the spaceship mode was charming. The TIC-80 looks like an interesting platform is it based on any kind of computer in particular? |
| Apr 20 18:04:12 | 5h 13m | Google: The Good Boy | ♥ 1 | How did you do all the water effects? They were most impressive. Wishing I could move the camera to see where Google is going off to in the far distance. Lovely virtual pet, would care for 🐟 |
| Apr 20 18:14:56 | 10m 44s | Gibi Committee for Shadok Preservation | ♥ 1 | Having a demo video is a brilliant idea, allows everyone regardless of OS to see what your game is like 😃 I really enjoyed the intro and the slow realisation that the Shadoks won't sit still. Good cartoony style characters and space physics 👍 |
| Apr 20 18:26:53 | 11m 57s | Cactus Care | ♥ 3 | That cactus gets quite angry when its thirsty 😅 Tried it a few times before realising I needed the sink to be on first, then when I tried to water it physics shenanigans happened. Good laughs were had :) |
| Apr 21 12:33:40 | 18h 06m | TweeTree | ♥ 1 | Amazing to think such a neat L-system fits within a single tweet. Very cool 👍 |
| Apr 21 12:50:44 | 17m 04s | Help Mr Pinky | ♥ 1 | What a charming little game 😄 I thought it was really cool how the pathfinding gave a personality to Mr Pinky; they way he always bounces along merrily then pauses when he reaches a different obstacle. First level was a good tutorial and the second a reasonably paced challenge. Bravo! |
| Apr 21 13:02:05 | 11m 21s | Link to the Flame | ♥ 2 | Good graphics and the effect of the flames blackening the ground was cool. I tried the first level a few times and found the fire difficult to spread from one effigy to another. I wouldn't say you overscoped too badly and have made a great proof of concept for a bigger game. 👍 |
| Apr 21 13:14:29 | 12m 24s | Confluence | ♥ 1 | Perfect moody atmosphere from the music and slowly floating enemies, felt a bit like a Metroid game. The mazes were an interesting challenge and the boss fight at the end a nice treat. I really liked the art for the main computer with all those wires snaking around. Solid work 😄 |
| Apr 21 13:30:25 | 15m 56s | Plantasia | ♥ 1 | This plant has so much character the way the branches dangle down before growing strong enough to reach upwards. Really impressive L-System with varying branch thickness and leaf sizes, you even put in flowers too! 🌻 |
| Apr 21 13:43:32 | 13m 07s | The Unicorn and the need for coffee..! | ♥ 1 | Amusing and very realistic Unicorn raising simulator 😄 |
| Apr 21 16:37:43 | 2h 54m | Rewilding: The Story of Wolfhead Valley | ♥ 2 | Really nice ecology game with interesting choices in strategy to make. The hand drawn artstyle is very nice. My best attempt I went a little overboard with rabbit colonies :P Rewilding rabbits.png |
| Apr 21 16:58:48 | 21m 05s | Space Station Alpha | ♥ 1 | Impressed at how much detail there is in this for a Pico-8 game. I didn't get very far but enjoyed what gameplay I saw. The ambience was excellent especially the slow reveal of the map. Glad that alien monsters can't go through doors! |
| Apr 23 12:23:23 | 43h 24m | Colony | ♥ 1 | For the queen! 🐜 |
