| Apr 22 20:45:32 | Scrap Cargo | ♥ 1 | Great game! Best score was 100,000+ points (no idea if that's good though...) Loved the music and the art. The survival side was quite harsh and got frustrated with the laser beam (maybe the fire rate was too slow??) and had a hard time killing the suicidal pirate ships :( I did think the issues coming up on the ship was quite well balanced and never got too many things to do at the same time. Good job on that! Great jam entry guys :) | |
| Apr 22 21:14:44 | 29m 12s | Salad Days 2: Pipe Dream | ♥ 2 | "Very relaxing entry but maybe a bit too much..." First of all, great music! That really sets the mood for the game: no rushing, you're here to build a pipe system and you got all the time in the world to do it. Also loved the "pick up and set down" pipes mechanics. It always felt good to do it, even after 10-15 minutes. Graphics were great and loved that huge tower design. Couple things would have been great to implement in my opinion. First, a sprint/run mechanic. I know we're not rushing but there is a lot of back-and-forth to do so we see a lot of the same scenery all the time. A way to accelerate this process would have been awesome. Finally, maybe different shapes for the pipes would have been good to add. Around the 3rd/4th cage, it started feeling like a job to do, more than playing a game. That would also improve the puzzle mechanic which would have been great. Overall, great entry and very nice concept !! |
| Apr 22 21:32:51 | 18m 07s | Keep It Alive top-down shooter | ♥ 2 | Cool mini-game, fun to play ! First of all, loved the "HP is your Ammo" mechanic ! That was a cool concept to go with (sadly not too original...) but you nailed it !! And it fits the theme, so... congrats ! The music, despite being frantically cool, suddenly stopped a few time before starting all over. If it was the end of the soundtrack, it would have been cool to loop it :) I didn't think the controls were that bad. Though, I don't think the choice of having a square collider collide with the inside of a circle collider was a good idea. When reaching the poles, both vertices from the square were colliding with the circle, making it impossible to move unless going back towards the center. To remedy to this problem, or all characters should be circles or just remove the ring :) Overall, this was a great entry and a good execution of the theme. |
| Apr 22 22:12:18 | 39m 27s | Desert Decryptor | ♥ 2 | Very nice game guys ! Loved the puzzle side of the game a lot. Made me think enough to care about what to give that poor alien. Graphics were great. Also liked the backstory at the beginning. That was a nice touch! Great music choice too ! One of the drawbacks for me was the theme. I didn't really feel like I was keeping the poor alien alive but more helping him. I took my time fetching the furniture he needed to power-up its ship but never felt the rush of anything. Adding a timer of some type of countdown would have probably help on that side. |
| Apr 23 16:55:27 | 18h 43m | No Time to EGGsplain | ♥ 1 | Got to level 6 after a lot of tries but very fun and great mini-game ! Fits the theme well and has good replayability. Would definitely see a game like this on the app store :) |
| Apr 25 00:23:42 | 31h 28m | UhUhUhUh Staying Alive | ♥ 0 | Cool little game guys ! I had a hard time doing everything at the same time but like the concept 😄 I like the mix between "Keep it alive" and "Staying alive". Smart choice !! Cool jam entry overall |
| Apr 26 22:30:36 | 46h 06m | 9Lives | ♥ 4 | Cool game guys ! I liked where you took the theme and gave it a story. The art was very enjoyable though I would have loved to have a few animations on the main character and/or the cat (since they both were the main gameplay characters). I think there is still a bit more work to do on the controls, making them more responsive and tight. Good jam entry and hope you guys had fun making this game ! 😄 |
| Apr 28 04:31:07 | 30h 00m | Sacred Guard | ♥ 2 | Great game overall ! First of all, I liked the soundtrack (literally stuck in my head for an hour after playing) and the visuals. It looks good and feels good but it isn't without flaws. I think you could easily add more visual feedback. Here is a few things that you could add to improve it: - Health bar on top (or around, or anywhere else...) on the enemies. - A written level (or different kind of indication [maybe change of sprite??]) over the towers so we know what level each are after upgrading them. Also, I will not list the bugs because other people did but it wasn't too bad for me. Try also balancing the overall gameplay (maybe amount of currency earn after each kill can increase depending on the wave??) and of course, limit a maximum amount of turrets 😄 Otherwise, it was a fun mini-game. I had fun playing it and hope you had fun making it! One last thing: for this kind of mini-game (that doesn't require too much performance), try exporting it to WebGL (HTML 5) so there isn't any download necessary. It is always faster and I know many people tends to avoid downloading every game. 😃 |
| Apr 28 04:42:01 | 10m 54s | Scare Your Pants Off! | ♥ 1 | What a fun jam entry ! I really liked the art style and the music was perfectly fitting. I had a few bugs but I won't go through them since they have already been developed in the reviews ahead 🙂 If the game gets a little fix, I'll definitely come back and try it again! |
| Apr 29 17:59:03 | 37h 17m | Repair-bot Rodeo | ♥ 2 | This was a pretty good game (reminded me a lot of FTL, which was probably the main inspiration for this game) but I was quite confused at the beginning. Even though I was told what to do, I was confused on how to repair (figured out how after a couple minutes eventually). |
| May 6 06:19:09 | 156h 20m | Helicopter M.O.M. | ♥ 1 | Great mini-game ! I was terrible at splitting my attention. Died so many times falling into a hole... You succeeded very well the split controls and overall gameplay. It is quite well balanced but just wished there was some background music accompanying the game. Also, I found out that the keyboard inputs for movement (arrow keys) had that gravity to it (momentum) that could have been good to remove to improve precision. But overall, that was a great jam entry ! |
| May 12 19:15:25 | 156h 56m | Don't Let The Party Die | ♥ 0 | I really enjoyed this game ! The concept was nice, the art was great, nice balancing (got quite hard after level 5 since I started getting the pace from the beginning). I just wish the movements were a bit more snappy and know what has colliders or not. Overall, this was a great entry :) |
