| Apr 20 03:44:49 | Where did this baby come from? | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the smart level design, and outsmarting the pathfinding in the later levels felt great. | |
| Apr 20 04:01:20 | 16m 31s | Square Loves Circle! | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this a lot. The controls can be a little funky, especially when the forces that are supposed to be applied to the circle are also applied to the square at seemingly random times (I also periodically forgot that the wall-jump existed), but there are also times where the controls feel great. The puzzles are smart and enjoyable, and accomplishing a difficult level feels really good. My only huge complaint is that the relationship between square and circle feels a little one-sided, circle really needs to step it up. Circle could use a makeover as well, the horrified screaming stare really contrasts against the rest of the game's tone. Oh and the music is very atmospheric and cute. Well Done, Milo!! |
| Apr 20 04:30:55 | 29m 35s | Torchbearer | ♥ 1 | Controls can be a little wonky sometimes. I liked the torch mechanic and the lighting effects a lot, the gemstones look good too. Checkpoints would have been nice but the same can be said for my game, lol. |
| Apr 20 04:52:07 | 21m 12s | Broken Threads | ♥ 3 | Fantastic game, absolutely excellent on all fronts. Only comments are just a couple typos, and the music could use more "oomph". The name thing is a great moment, and all of the effort you put into the writing and the message displays themselves really shines through. I had a longer, equally glowing review already typed up most of the way through, but well, y'know... Since there's already a massive spoiler in the comments, I'll just say - as incredibly well executed as that was, it did make me panic for the safety of my computer lol. The thanks doc is super cute. Thanks to you for the experience, it definitely got my heart pumping... |
| Apr 20 05:16:22 | 24m 15s | Keep It Alive | ♥ 2 | The punchline is AMAZING!! Setup and delivery all in all, so good. Style is reminiscent of all the recent gorefield stuff, really spot on excellent work. I can echo everything above me. Just an awesome game all around, really unique and charming. I wish I had any real criticism. |
| Apr 20 05:24:01 | 7m 39s | Feed Me, see more | ♥ 1 | Too bad there's no dentist to chuck at Audrey II. The environment, NPCs, and sound design are all spot on. The camera kept me from enjoying the game to the fullest. I think top-down would have been a better format for this. Otherwise great and hilarious. |
| Apr 20 05:35:17 | 11m 16s | DeeperWeDelve | ♥ 1 | The downloadable version had me start with 0 coin, so I couldn't hire anyone to start the game. Visuals look really good! |
| Apr 20 05:45:17 | 10m 00s | The Great It | ♥ 1 | There's a great foundation here in terms of the systems themselves, if the buildings were a little easier to use I think this would be a ton of fun. |
| Apr 20 05:52:44 | 7m 27s | Parvus Anoplolepis gracilipes | ♥ 2 | Keep practicing! Focus on not throwing too much text at the player all at once. It's very creative and the subject matter is very interesting!! |
| Apr 20 06:03:19 | 10m 35s | Hacking is Probably Not Like This | ♥ 0 | Great variety of puzzles and a great reason to complete them! The hacking style feels really great to play around in too. Well done! |
| Apr 20 06:09:09 | 5m 50s | Mad Antimatter Mania | ♥ 1 | I love the visual style of this - most of it, anyway. The UI is a little ugly and I'm not a fan of the font, but the colors in the gameplay are great and I think the premise is really interesting too. The abstract idea plus the visual style could really work if some of the clunkier parts were cleaned up. The sound design is pretty fascinating too, so I'm pretty polarized on this one. Good work though! |
| Apr 20 06:19:51 | 10m 42s | Just Fishing | ♥ 1 | Very satisfying to play and to look at. I found the glare to be a little too much at certain angles, that's my only complaint. It truly is just fishing. Normally I hate motion blur but it works really well here, congrats on a great project. |
| Apr 20 06:24:47 | 4m 56s | I am the mason, i didn't get payment for 3 days, i'm hungry | ♥ 1 | Scan the QR code in the screenshot for an awesome easter egg!!! |
| Apr 20 17:11:14 | 10h 46m | Guardian | ♥ 1 | cute and fun!! It's very simple but it works really well. The timer & other ui elements being inconsistent with the art style is my biggest complaint. I think enemy bullets could stand out against the background a little more too. Well done! |
| Apr 22 01:14:26 | 32h 03m | Creature Coraller | ♥ 2 | This game made me feel pretty badass. The character art was very neat and the controls are very satisfying. I had some issues with the sound. Game fits the theme very well, excellent job on this game. |
