| Apr 20 03:49:23 | Medusa | ♥ 2 | I feel like the idea of tentacles growing out to form weird shapes is underutilized by the current mechanics, but it's a cool idea. | |
| Apr 20 03:55:57 | 6m 34s | Adventure Watch | ♥ 1 | Feels very RNG based right now, although I might just be missing something. EG I'm not sure weather the grey things do anything other than ending the minigame, like if they effect the top game. Plus I was never not playing the minigame, which i guess makes sense, but the pay to play thing seems odd in this case. Overall though it's a cool concept and I did have fun figuring out what to prioritize on a moments notice. |
| Apr 20 04:03:19 | 7m 22s | Solais | ♥ 2 | Biggest issue is that by the time I make out the spikes, I'm already dead. It looks great, but I can't tell anything apart. Also not sure text is a great fit for a pico 8 game given the low res. |
| Apr 20 04:08:54 | 5m 35s | A Data Story | ♥ 0 | Short and sweet. Would have like to have seen it introduce some more challenging/interesting puzzles, but enjoyable and charming regardless. |
| Apr 20 04:45:36 | 36m 42s | Power Surge | ♥ 1 | That got tense quick, I like it |
| Apr 20 05:21:13 | 35m 37s | Vital Signs | ♥ 1 | Really cool, nice atmosphere and interesting gameplay. Feels very polished. Only real major gripe is it's quite hard to figure out what I'm meant to be doing. Like, I assume I have to hit space to collect the hearts, but surely it'd make more sense to be pressing space periodically, if my heart beats that irregularly I have fundamentally failed to grasp human biology. |
| Apr 20 05:22:47 | 1m 34s | The Blobbysitter | ♥ 1 | This was an experience |
| Apr 20 17:17:05 | 11h 54m | Tumble Baby | ♥ 2 | Controls could really do with some indicators, like arrows that appear when you hover over the boxes. I spent about a minute trying to drag the boxes and thought the game was broken. Overall though, this was good. I've seen similar concepts but this is probably the best execution. The one thing that could do with some work is that most of the puzzle pieces felt unused, so it was more of a "guess I've done it" rather than "IVE DONE IT!" feeling. |
| Apr 20 17:26:18 | 9m 13s | Cryoloop | ♥ 0 | Looks great. Some sound really would help the atmosphere. |
| Apr 20 17:35:20 | 9m 02s | Reasonably Safe Working Conditions | ♥ 3 | This is the kind of game that makes me wish I had friends, good job! |
| Apr 20 17:43:35 | 8m 15s | Another f****ng escort mission | ♥ 1 | Very simple game is easy to get into whilst still has enough to it to be fun, voice over elevates it to something great. |
| Apr 20 17:48:31 | 4m 56s | Keep your heart alive | ♥ 3 | @edwin I was able to, that or I just got very very lucky. |
| Apr 20 18:05:35 | 17m 04s | Xtreme gardening 2020 | ♥ 1 | Quite charming, and good easy to get tutorialisation. A lot of the levels are very easy though, like did the spiral levels really serve any purpose, they felt more like padding. Also, it's quite hard to tell the tiles apart (broken from super broken) at a glance. The dash definitely helped make the game more interesting though. |
| Apr 20 18:10:31 | 4m 56s | Medieval Messenger | ♥ 2 | Found the mechanics a bit confusing, but they're graspable enough to still be enjoyable. |
| Apr 20 18:13:55 | 3m 24s | Love the Baby | ♥ 1 | Confusing, had no idea what the middle button does or how to get rid of the radio, but it was genuinely funny and charming. |
| Apr 20 18:16:49 | 2m 54s | Keep Earth Alive! | ♥ 1 | The sudden jump back to the sky was quite nauseating, also couldn't tell if I'd lost or not. One I got into it, it had it's charm. |
| Apr 20 23:49:39 | 5h 32m | up in the sky | ♥ 3 | Forgot to add in my newgrounds review, it'd be nice if you didn't have to use the keyboard to restart when everything else is mouse based. Come to think of it, I'm not sure why you need to do anything to restart when it could do so automatically. |
| Apr 22 08:18:22 | 32h 28m | HealWall | ♥ 0 | I'll be honest, I have no idea what's going on in this game. |
| Apr 28 15:40:12 | 151h 21m | Tyson Lee: KEEP IT ALIVE EDITION | ♥ 1 | There's some cool ideas here, but even as someone who understands logic gates I have absolutely 0 idea what I'm doing. Like, if I were given a goal I could probably accomplish it, but RN I have no idea what "it" is. Without reading the hint, how anyone is meant to know what to do on say Mal 3 is beyond me. Am I meant to have it tigger when either buttons are pressed, when both are pressed, I haven't a clue. Am I missing something? |
| Apr 29 10:18:49 | 18h 38m | For Ducks' Sake | ♥ 2 | Quite charming art and sounds and concept. My only real complaint is the controls, just not being to aim 360 degrees whilst still using the mouse feels real awkward. Either aiming using the keys (WASD move, arroys aim) or having 360 aim, either would feel significantly better, even if the sprite doesn't quite line up. But pointing at the thing and shooting somewhere else, it doesn't feel right. Other than that, I have a cruel urge to suggest that you can shoot the ducks by accident, though perhaps spattered duckling wouldn't suit the cutsie artstyle (perhaps it just stuns them or something.) |
