| Apr 21 01:13:24 | GNOME | ♥ 1 | Cool, congrats on your first game jam! It would be helpful to display the instructions either on the web page or in a pause menu, since it's difficult to remember them in one go. Loved the music and the funny little Gnome! | |
| Apr 21 14:06:02 | 12h 52m | Keepin' up with the Sams | ♥ 1 | Quite tricky to avoid wetting yourself! Funny game although I kept on accidentally missing the text because I would click too quickly on the wife, so they didn't feel like proper events. I enjoyed the weird look and you can see how it could be developed to become a full sims-inspired game with some more narrative. Cool stuff! |
| Apr 21 18:56:52 | 4h 50m | The Little Bakery of Horrors | ♥ 1 | Quite a rush! I enjoyed the theme of this one, although it was a little unclear how the mechanics worked on my first go. On my second go I got 5000! |
| Apr 22 11:31:28 | 16h 34m | Houston, We Have A Problem | ♥ 0 | A tutorial or introducing systems 1 by 1 would be great in an expanded version, although obviously tricky to get done in such a short timeline! I think it's a really innovative idea, and could be expanded a lot. One thing is that there's not much to do at the moment while you wait for cash, and it's a bit hard dealing with the oxygen/water. But I had a good time and ran through it a few time (and lost 😢). I was a bit confused about the price of the Oxen, sometimes it's cheap and sometimes it's price would be very expensive? But I liked the design and it was great having a LD game with some story, really cool! |
| Apr 22 11:41:50 | 10m 22s | DON`T DIE STAY ALIVE! | ♥ 0 | I agree about making the backs of spears not kill you - maybe just the very back quarter or something? But the music is great and doesn't get annoying, and I like the cute little penguin! I played through a few times and got 179 which apparently isn't as good as lots of players here! I actually disagree about the edges of the screen - I think it makes moving there an interesting risk, but I would make the grid bigger so there's more room to move around inside. Cool game! |
| Apr 22 19:39:11 | 7h 57m | Prince of Al Harrah | ♥ 1 | I like the graphics style of this. A bit tricky to understand, I think using some words in the tips that pop up would have been helpful! But once I got the idea I had a really good time! That last level was tricky and it felt great figuring out the solution. Very innovative! |
| Apr 22 19:44:32 | 5m 21s | Wanted: Alive! | ♥ 2 | Great audio, very good models and animation! I wish there were a few more levels to play, maybe some with more focused zig-zagging while avoiding bullets. I had lots of fun with this one! |
| Apr 22 19:54:16 | 9m 44s | Keep the Plants alive! | ♥ 2 | Cure little game, marking enemy spawn points is a great feature! I couldn't figure out how to switch bake to the watering mode though. Ran well and shooting was fun although only seemed to work when standing still. Good job! |
| Apr 22 20:06:48 | 12m 32s | Magic Valley | ♥ 1 | Cool! I would maybe remove that GitHub link, originally I thought I would have to download from there or something. Or maybe move it to the end because I think it might confuse some people! I think the building should maybe be a bit cheaper, it's difficult to build up much stuff without having to run all over them map, which takes a while. I liked the turrets and defense style gameplay most! |
| Apr 22 21:12:14 | 1h 05m | Keep it Alive - the Rectangle that is | ♥ 1 | Nice, simple but effective! I like the design a lot but struggled a bit using a track pad, which is my own mistake, not a problem with the game. I liked that it was really intuitive and a mix between puzzle and quick reflexes, not many games pull of that balance! |
| Apr 22 21:29:32 | 17m 18s | Minor Inconvenience | ♥ 1 | Cool! I like the way it gets harder over time and it was a really good decision to make the saws pretty forgiving. I would love to see a bit more bits added for variety Overall a really solid entry! One of the best ones I've played so far |
| Apr 22 21:33:46 | 4m 14s | Adrenaline Rush | ♥ 1 | Great art and sound! You can see where it gets its inspiration from but it's super stylish! If there were more levels, either mashed up or with a connecting narrative I would rate this very highly instead of pretty highly. Great job! |
| Apr 22 22:10:47 | 37m 01s | The Adventures of Eggbert | ♥ 1 | Cool, looks like you're already making the improvements that the game would benefit from! I hope you get to a finished product because this is a really cool start! Love the graphics and the sounds fit just right! |
| Apr 22 22:17:22 | 6m 35s | Life of the Party | ♥ 3 | Cool, I enjoyed the vibe of the writing in this one! Funny stuff and feels like a heightened version of a real party! Lots of fun little bits and choices! I think it might work a little better if the graphics were used for anything, or if you got rid of them. Like, either the camera changing places or player movement to match the hyped up music, or if you instead got rid of the 3D and either just used text or had illustrations every now and again. But the core of the game was great and I was excited about every choice I made, and it was funny seeing the results! |
| Apr 22 23:11:00 | 53m 38s | Keep me alive #iamthevirus | ♥ 1 | interesting idea and well tutorialised! I can see the design decisions behind the turn-based vs realtime aspects and I think they work really well. The theme was well implemented and gives a real (if small) insight into the current crysis, even if it's a little strange seeing it from the virus' perspective. It all ties together well, really good job! |
| Apr 23 12:45:05 | 13h 34m | Guardian Reaper | ♥ 1 | Excellent entry! Made me laugh a lot, and I enjoyed the mechanics too. I love that it gives you a rank at the end as well, feels really polished! |
| Apr 23 12:50:17 | 5m 12s | Keep the Princess Alive | ♥ 2 | Nice work overall, it's got working mechanics and is easy to pick up and play! I'd like to see a bit more work on the "game-feel" of controlling the dragon, so that it's a bit faster but I enjoyed the handmade feel of the graphics. Congrats! |
| Apr 23 12:56:47 | 6m 30s | Fly Trap Dash | ♥ 1 | Hard game! I think I would speed up the movement a bit and maybe increase the size of the player sprite to make it a bit clearer how much it collides! I wanted a bit more of a rushing feeling to collect flies which faster movement would help with. But I enjoyed the mood and chill sound! Well done! |
| Apr 23 13:05:05 | 8m 18s | Peck Beach | ♥ 1 | Nice, it would be great to see a fleshed out version with a story! I couldn't figure out how to beat the tomato gang enemy, seemed like they were too powerful! But maybe I'm missing something. I appreciated the fast forward option once I found it, and I could see how the battle system could be expanded. Great job! |
| Apr 23 13:08:51 | 3m 46s | What Remains of Us | ♥ 1 | Cool! I like the graphics and audio a lot, they work really well together. Great mood even if there isn't really any gameplay. Intriguing stuff! |
| Apr 24 14:25:03 | 25h 16m | Where`s my Pills | ♥ 0 | Fun stuff! It was a proper rush with the timer ticking down. I would like to see more feedback from the timer, maybe like a sound ticking down to remind you how much time you have left? But the platforming works well and it was nice and clear how to play after reading the tutorial. Good entry! |
| Apr 26 10:52:27 | 44h 27m | A day with Bob | ♥ 0 | Make sure you rate games so more people can find this one as well! You'll need about 20 ratings for a final rank. I really like the humour of this one! I tried a whole load of different ways to die and they kept me smiling. I do wish there was a way to undo or checkpoints because if you make a lot of progress it's annoying to have to replay the whole thing to get back to where you were, and then choosing another option usually immediately kills you! But I liked the weird abstract look and had a good time with this one. Good job! |
| Apr 28 09:52:48 | 47h 00m | The Consequences of Gardening | ♥ 4 | Great job! Obviously there's a lot there and it's super impressive to even organise a team like that! Loved the music and sound design, and the mood was perfect. |
| Apr 29 11:36:49 | 25h 44m | Evergreen | ♥ 3 | Great stuff! The twist at the end is great although very difficult when the letters all stack up, I had more fun when the letters were easily visible! I liked the audio and graphics too, it had a really unique mood. Well done, I'll remember this one! |
| May 9 11:26:02 | 239h 49m | it lives and grows | ♥ 1 | Very relaxing and impressive plant generation. Your theme is very similar to our game but has a totally different feel - I love the geometric shapes in the plants and the different growing methods. Would love to see this expanded! |
| May 11 09:18:30 | 45h 52m | Leap Of Faith | ♥ 1 | This was nice! Could do with some check points maybe? And the camera work was really impressive for a small game. Good job! |
| May 11 19:26:20 | 10h 07m | Toilet Paper Gardener | ♥ 0 | This was nice once I got used to it, although I couldn't figure out how to plant bamboo... I bought a bath but it didn't seem to allow drag-and-drop from the bamboo bag to the bath. But nice graphics and an unusual theme, with good audio as well that helped convey information to the player. It would be good if it were a bit more user-friendly, which I think will put some people off but I had a good time with this one. Love the effort that's gone into the computer and the little truck that arrives, really gives it a polished feel! |
| May 12 11:03:25 | 15h 37m | WKAM: Western Keep it Alive Mission | ♥ 1 | Nice! this is one of my favourites. Not the clearest UI in the world but a really nice, fairly complex gameplay loop. I was rubbish at it and could not keep the leader alive but had a really good time! Go comment on people's games for more feedback karma if you have the time before time is up otherwise you might not get enough ratings for this game to rank which would be a real shame. Great job! |
| May 12 11:17:11 | 13m 46s | Orbitr | ♥ 0 | Nice, well done! Simple but addictive. Reminds me of Super Hexagon and would work well on mobile with the simple controls and a bit more movement in the graphics. Good job! |
| May 12 11:21:18 | 4m 07s | TOTALLY NORMAL GARDENING SIMULATOR | ♥ 1 | Nice job! I liked the silly humour and the gameplay loop was satisfying. The mechanics worked well together and nice to see a game with achievements! |
| May 12 12:16:31 | 55m 13s | Volleybody | ♥ 0 | Super hard but quite rewarding if you take the time to keep going! I got to 4 points and then couldn't see the next fruit, but I had a good time practicing to get there. I would like to see a version of this with less-random aspects, like a proper level system rather than random fruits. With progression and a bit of work on the movement I could see this being a full game. Good job! |
| May 12 19:55:46 | 7h 39m | Keep a Plant | ♥ 1 | Good work! I found it a bit tricky and I would like to see the theme of keeping a plant alive better integrated with the mechanics but it plays well. I really liked the audio too! |
