| Apr 21 14:11:12 | Bullets & Babies | ♥ 4 | This was pretty fun! I think trying to keep a baby alive in the middle of a warzone is a pretty clever take on the theme. It feels good to shoot guns, and the graphics and audio are great - the particle death effects are a great touch. Would be nice to have more varieties of enemies or perhaps more on the screen at a time. Also was kind of frustrating getting shot by enemies that were still a bit off screen. Really good overall though! | |
| Apr 21 14:16:02 | 4m 50s | Tiny Fragments | ♥ 1 | Wow, this is awesome - kind of the perfect LD game. It's quick, simple, but makes you want to keep playing. You nailed the core mechanic and it works really well. Some of the puzzles got pretty difficult, especially after level 6. I loved it, really well done!. The audio and graphics really bring it together too. |
| Apr 21 19:17:35 | 5h 01m | PlayBack | ♥ 1 | Dang, this is a really cool game. It's a really simple core mechanic but you nailed the execution. It's a perfect jam game - simple, fun, makes you want to keep playing, and the background music you used just adds to the overall ambience. Graphics are great. I'm really impressed by this, well done! |
| Apr 21 19:29:47 | 12m 12s | Civilitris | ♥ 1 | As others have said, I think this is a great concept for a game. You've taken resource management and civilization building and combined them with tetris/2048, and it works out really well. I think not having a tutorial/general explanation of what you need to do does hold it back a bit, it took me a couple tries before I actually figured out what was going on. Also, is there a way to hide the quest log? It was a lot harder not being able to see the left side of the world. Besides that though, I loved it. The graphics are simple but great. It's cool actually seeing your people grabbing resources. I think the core gameplay is really awesome, but just needs some further explanation and some quality-of-life stuff, like maybe being able to see the next tile coming, to really make it something that would be fun to keep replaying and trying to do better (also going with that would be some kind of a score or game over condition). Really nice work! |
| Apr 21 19:32:50 | 3m 03s | Lonely Year | ♥ 1 | Nice to see a fellow Godot entry! This was really cool. It's a simple game. I died the first few times but once I figured out the different ways you can interact with stuff it got more interesting. The graphics and the audio work well and help give the game a nice feel without being obtrusive. I think it would go a long way to have some kind of a tutorial or a bit more explanation about what you can do. A really cool entry overall! |
| Apr 21 19:50:33 | 17m 43s | Lich Clicker | ♥ 3 | This is so awesome! You guys did such a good job with the art and the audio. I'm impressed you got both of those aspects so fully-featured for the jam, and it really gives the game a high production value, even for a weekend project. I think the game feel is really nice too - the camera shake and click feedback are really good. This was really fun! The only thing I'd say is that it seems to kind of take too long to get the next story progression near the end - I had to just click for awhile before it happened. Also, there wasn't really any challenge to the game. Not a bad thing I suppose, I still wanted to see what happened, but it might have been interesting to incorporate some kind of a mechanic that made it progressively more difficult. I noticed my hunger meter seemed to be depleting quicker, but it still wasn't fast enough to really change anything. Overall though, this is a really impressive entry. Well done! |
| Apr 21 19:53:57 | 3m 24s | The joys of parenthood | ♥ 2 | Wow, that was not the game I was expecting when I first started playing. But it was so good! I'm really impressed by this entry. I like the incorporation of different minigames - you actually feel like you're improving and different jobs. As others have noted, some background audio would be nice, and I think it would help ease into some of the sound effects that happen later on haha. Overall, this is awesome, well done! |
| Apr 21 19:56:58 | 3m 01s | Wispering Away | ♥ 0 | You wrote all of this in Rust and WebGL? That's really impressive to do over a weekend, well done! This is a cool entry. You did a good job with the ambience of the game and setting the atmosphere. It's a pretty simple concept at the core but I think the main game mechanic is done well. It would be cool if there was some other element or challenge to it that appeared over time, but for a jam game this is really good, especially considering the technical work you put into it! |
| Apr 21 20:03:12 | 6m 14s | Distant Messages | ♥ 1 | This is a really cool idea! I think it's a really cool concept for a game and there's a lot of potential here. It might have been nice to give us some backstory as to who we are or what the relationship has looked like in the past, so you have some context for the messages you choose to send. Also, sometimes the messages I sent or received didn't seem to totally line up with each other - like you have the option to say both "sorry I missed your call" and "why didn't you call", but the game seems to assume that Mark just didn't call, regardless of what you said, so that seemed a bit off. But this is a cool entry, and I think something that has potential! |
| Apr 21 20:06:13 | 3m 01s | The Heart Pieces | ♥ 1 | This is awesome! I'm really impressed you put this together for the compo. The overall mood of the game is great - you did a good job with the graphics and the audio. They really work together well. The game itself is fun too. You did a good job creating the core game mechanic and I genuinely liked playing it (and it also had a nice amount of tension + cool take on the theme with dealing with relationships). Overall this was an awesome entry! |
| Apr 21 20:08:44 | 2m 31s | Social Distancing For LadyBugs | ♥ 1 | Woah, this was your first game jam? That's awesome, this is a pretty great entry, especially for the compo. I'm really impressed! You did a great job - the game is fun and the audio really makes it stand out. Being able to post high scores is pretty fun, I've liked seeing what other people got here in the comments. I had some minor complaints with hitboxes, but overall this is so good! |
| Apr 21 20:12:07 | 3m 23s | Oaks & Pines | ♥ 3 | Woah, this is so cool! The atmosphere of the game is great - the audio is awesome, and the graphics are really impressive for a game jam (can tell you were art students!). Once I got the hang of how to play, it was really fun. After awhile I wish there was a bit more challenge or some rewards to incentivize continuing on, but I wanted to keep playing just because the game is so calming and charming. Really well done! |
| Apr 21 20:16:39 | 4m 32s | Pirabbit | ♥ 1 | This was great! The graphics and music really make the game feel good to play. The controls took me a bit to get used to but once I did I really enjoyed it. The additional mechanics like dashing really add to it, and the variance that comes later on with the birds and all really makes it fun. It would be kind of nice to have more of those types of elements, and potentially to introduce them earlier on so the game moves a bit faster. This is a pretty impressive entry though, well done! |
