| Apr 22 19:21:18 | The Planetarian | ♥ 0 | That was a neat little game. I especially enjoyed the intro. It was a nice way to start the off. I also liked the artstyle. Also the narrative twist when you die is a nice touch, would have been cool to see even more versions of dying screens (but maybe that just shows how bad I was at playing). I have to admit that I didn't get very far with the crafting so I probably didn't even see all the game had to offer. I initially got quite confused with the crafting, I thought it would show you the recipe when you hovered over the thing that you needed. It might have been more intuitive to see it this way. Also, maybe clicking on the AI guradian should display the last instruction again, that way you could probably avoid a fair bit of confusion. We will look forward to your next game! | |
| Apr 22 19:50:05 | 28m 47s | Space Ship E.V.E | ♥ 1 | I really liked the narrative part of the game and I wish I could have seen more of it. Unfortunately big parts of the gameplay were not very enticing. The asteroid deflection often felt like a hassle. I like that lines showed where they were coming from, but the fact that the game was constantly scrolling everywhere made it really hard to deflect them. If one level required me to do more than deflect, there was just no time to do it. The sound that played when one was aproaching started to get annyoing after the 5th asteroid. The idea with having to deflect them while you have other tasks to attend to is nice but the asteroids were just too overwhelming, especially with the scrolling. But maybe I just got to bitter after my ship's dog died. There is a lot to like in this game, I just think it needs a little polish with the asteroids which cut an otherwise nice game short for me. |
| Apr 22 20:18:00 | 27m 55s | Keep Me Alive! | ♥ 0 | This was a very cool little game. The premise of the game is quite nice. Once you are in the tune with the rhytm of the game it starts becoming really fun. Took me a few minutes to get the hang of it but when I got there I didn't want to stop playing it. There is one major flaw though, I feel like. The knight is unpredictable. My last game I lost because he ran into two consecutive fireballs of mine. That's the only major thing though. I think a few nice touches would have been something like a highscore I could use to impress my friends or make the ladies go crazy for me. A few more spells would also have been nice to spice things up. Definetly let me know if you continue working on this game. |
| Apr 22 20:30:27 | 12m 27s | Genki | ♥ 2 | I had a blast playing this. A short blast which lasted about 226.45 I think. The soundtrack is an absolute banger and I'm contemplating ripping it from the game files so I can put it in my playlist (that's a joke, unless...) did you make it yourself? The problem was just that towards the end the game it became unplayable framerate wise and unbeatable difficulty wise. Less onscreen enemies or a more powerful projectile could easily fix that though. I really felt quite Genki while playing and I would have felt Genki throughout, if it hadn't been for that impossible end. |
| Apr 22 20:45:52 | 15m 25s | Germicide | ♥ 0 | Definitely a nice concept and a decent Tower Defense. The art is fantastic and the soundtrack is exactly what I want from a TD. It seems like I'm far away from being the first one to say this, but tower placement is very very broken. |
| Apr 23 19:03:08 | 22h 17m | Stranded | ♥ 2 | Wow. From start to finish this game made me feel quite tense. I was especially tense when I had to move the battery down and all my previously built bonfires died one after the other (it took me a while to figure out I could build them). The lighting was really well done and contributed greatly to the atmosphere. The controls were also very untuitive. Maybe the fire could have dwindled a bit faster though because the big bonfires felt really strong in terms of range and lifetime and were not very hard to set up. A hardcore suggestions would be one tree = one wood (but that would probably screw with the balancing quite a bit). I was a bit sad when I dropped off the battery and the game ended, I was ready to go into the forest again. Thanks for making the nice entry to the Jam, we will be looking forward to your next game! |
| May 9 09:50:43 | 374h 47m | Apocalypse Baby | ♥ 2 | With such a title I couldn't just not play this game. While everything is pretty barebones I still had my fun with this. The soundtrack gives me DOOM vibes and the zombies were.... Well, special. I expected them to attack me when they get closer, instead they do a little synchronous dance while getting kinda getting stuck in the ground. This opened up a new opportunity of play: I you can't kill them, let them dance. Thanks for making this! |
| May 9 10:11:56 | 21m 13s | Guilty Transplant | ♥ 0 | I quite enjoyed your game! I really liked the atmosphere. The cover art definetely stoud out to me. The setup was simple but effective. It made myself ask: Why are there creatures crawling around the hospital? Why was Patient 46 a success? I wish you could have had time to add a few story bits. One complaint is that I thought the mapping of the attack was a bit weird, why not put it on the mouse so one does not have to switch hands from keyboard to mouse and back? |
| May 9 10:28:37 | 16m 41s | Exosphere | ♥ 1 | I really liked your game, I just wish I was better at it. Judging from the comments some people made it over 4000. That's insane. I like that you can freely control your speed and have to be extra careful with your life. The aesthetic of the game really spoke to me. It reminded me of a more refined version of those endless mobile games with similiar mechanics. Sometimes I thought that going sideways is a bit tricky, I had my most collisions when trying to fit between two squares which often almost seemed impossible. That paired with the fact that sometimes you would fly into a dead end without seeing it made it more difficult than it had to be at times. I'm glad to hear a soundtrack is in the works! |
| May 9 11:03:29 | 34m 52s | Shooty Moony | ♥ 1 | That was simply awesome. Easily the best game I have played in this Jam so far. I half expected the game to end after I first died. But then the upgrade window opened up and oh boy, was it a blast. The shooting and coin collecting were super satisfying and the progress was almost perfectly planned out. It's impressive that you not only could make such satisfying gameplay but also balance the progression to that degree. No upgrade felt overpriced and even the simple upgrades like double shots changed the game in an meaningful way. I also was impressed that over half an hour in I would still see new enemies. The design of the earth, moon and UFOs was just brilliant and added a lot of character to the game. The little nuances in the gameplay, like the moon changing directions or speeding up shortly when shooting and the money multiplication really helped to liven up the game and are just very fun things to play around with. I don't just wanna sing your praises here, but I'm hard pressed to find something worthwhile to critique. Maybe another soundtrack that could play in higher waves? Maybe a little improvement in the shop UI? Other than that I just want more of the game, more upgrades more everything so I can play more and a save function so I can continue where I left off. Thank you for making this awesome entry! |
| May 9 11:26:46 | 23m 17s | Sentience Protocol | ♥ 1 | The aesthetic of your game is awesome, it's retro yet futuristic and reminds me of outrun or a few more obscure cyberpunk games. Judging by your story-setup, these seem to have been an influence. I like the idea of giving public speeches to sway people and the arguments were nicely written. I think the game would have benefitted greatly from a soundtrack and soundeffects that complement the aesthetic. Like many others here I find what you actually do in the game a bit unimpactful. People stop and listen but there is no indication how many or how effective what you say is. I don't know if it is a bug but at the end it just says 'you have convinced a few people, you have 0 days left' and it doesn't continue... I expected there to be an end to the game where it tells me if I succeeded in my endeavor. I really wish I could see that, otherwise everything that came before: my hard journey to make people see the truth, was for nothing. Building on what you accomplished I see a lot of potential here. Do you plan to give the game a few updates? I would love to check out an updated version od your game. Thank you for making this game! |
| May 10 12:45:02 | 25h 18m | Wildfire | ♥ 1 | This was not like anything I have played before this Jam. I really enjoyed this little game. It's very calming and the music, while being a bit short (and it could loop better), contributed to that. The design and the UI were on point and I never felt information was lacking or hard to interpret. I found the game not very challenging - maybe I just good RNG - but I don't think it was designed to be that challenging. Overall I think you did an amazing job at making a cute relaxing game. |
