| Apr 21 02:37:18 | Block Pusher | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun little game :) Very simple, but maybe something persistent would make it a bit more enjoyable :) Good job! | |
| Apr 21 02:40:41 | 3m 23s | Capybaba | ♥ 3 | Works with the theme, a tiny bit janky but it was a neat idea for sure! Throwing babies to beat shadow babies hah :) |
| Apr 21 02:47:05 | 6m 24s | Garden of Error | ♥ 2 | Interesting, didn't quite get it in the first 5 minutes though and a bit hard to read the font (maybe it's my old eyes or the 4k:) ) |
| Apr 21 02:49:30 | 2m 25s | The Dragon's Curse | ♥ 2 | Beautifully drawn, interesting take on the theme. A choose your own adventure with board game type elements :) |
| Apr 21 12:21:09 | 9h 31m | Project Kepler | ♥ 3 | Honestly I love the look, simple, elegant and detailed like you would expect a clean ship to look :) There should probably be a bit more explanation since there is a degree of complexity here. I'm not 100% sure but this felt like a sim/builder type game where I had resources, research, balanced services that consume resources (I assume) and things to build. I saw the direct impact of thrusters was what I expected but beyond that I wasn't too sure what would do what :) Great looking game though and likely the math working behind the scenes is well tuned too, just wish I knew more about how to approach it! |
| Apr 21 12:28:15 | 7m 06s | Keep IT Alive | ♥ 3 | I love this haha. As someone who used to repeatedly say "Hello, Georgie, would you like a balloon?" for months after watching the movie, this is priceless lol :) The nitty gritty: Everything is quite well done! I like the music, it's super appropriate, the sound fx are a little basic but it's ok it's retro look fits imo. The twist on the theme is ridiculously good (I'd give you 6 there if I could lol). Gameplay is pretty self explanatory and doesn't need a lot more intro but for some reason I wasn't aware my paths were switching off the first time through, figured it out later. Anyway, great job with this, and best of luck :) |
| Apr 21 12:49:04 | 20m 49s | Keep IT alive - The daily struggle | ♥ 1 | 341 seconds, many points, not enough coffee :) Sounds like my day haha. Well done. I actually quite like the idea and implementation. There might be some notion of making it to day end and the next day being harder but that's just another layer on top for later, not sure if there is currently an end game, seems like it could go on forever! If you continue working on it, some variety of task descriptions and solutions could be cool too, I saw a few problems and a few solutions, maybe there is more I didn't see :) |
| Apr 21 14:01:37 | 1h 12m | Party - Sea Battle - Keep your battle fleet alive... in music | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, will come back to it in a bit when maybe there are lobbies or players! :) The music is sort of fitting! I like the twist on the classic Battleship of being able to move ships but it seems like it might be Battleship other than that? |
| Apr 21 14:08:47 | 7m 10s | A Wild Yeast Appears! | ♥ 1 | lol apparently my motor skills aren't up to par, what even happened here!?: brewingwhaaaat.png Honestly it's cool it reminds me of a lot of VR games where you have to dextrously handle things (at which I also usually fail miserably! I was not cut out to be a surgeon). While I didn't get to really make a drink I did manage to lose many things flinging them around the room :) Good work, would be cool to see it in VR and with more features :) |
| Apr 21 14:55:05 | 46m 18s | Live, breathe, beneath | ♥ 0 | Hey, I don't want to rate the content since there isn't anything playable, however don't feel bad at all! One of the biggest and easiest traps to fall in is overextending the scope of your game and missing your targets. AAA studios fail on that every day, not to mention countless indie devs :) If it's your passion, keep trying, you got this next time! |
| Apr 21 15:12:14 | 17m 09s | Pet Sitter! | ♥ 1 | Hi there! Super cute style and I love the theme (Tamagotchi styles!), definitely something we considered :) I understand how it should work I think but the happiness tanks fast and I don't quite get playing (Granted I suck at playing with our cat!). I tried both one and two balls, hitting him and not hitting him as well as a room of balls. ballmadness.png |
| Apr 21 15:17:16 | 5m 02s | You Live Like This? | ♥ 0 | Haha great voice over work, a bit dark but funny! Didn't realize I had to reboot on a blue screen but then thought "duh" lol :) Good job guys! |
| Apr 21 15:21:45 | 4m 29s | Hard Beat | ♥ 1 | A decent little platformer with a whiff of Corona :) It lacks a bit of depth to be completely honest! Something persistent like a score would be a nice little addition so there is something to work towards :) |
| Apr 21 15:36:02 | 14m 17s | Power Glove | ♥ 2 | I had to try this when I saw the assets used! Love Synty's stuff, and you can see more of it on our game (we used the Dungeon Pack, this would be the Town Pack). Great little concept, pretty unique, good interactions, love the idea of quests to get batteries. Missing a few colliders and a pause menu and I didn't see an overall score or anything? (length of time you gave your bro to play?). Honestly though, pretty darn good imo :) |
| Apr 21 16:39:47 | 1h 03m | Abidance | ♥ 1 | Well done entry for this game jam! :) Right mix of mood, atmosphere and length here! Future ideas for simple expansion: add extraction point to get to with an aggressive holding off of shadow monster and local fauna (didn't find a use for the laser? Can you shoot the shadow thing?). |
| Apr 21 19:19:28 | 2h 39m | FirePlace | ♥ 0 | Hi @zacharia , the game built fine for me in Unity. I did import it to 2019.2.21f , maybe that made a difference? Built for Windows worked fine. Played it in the editor a bit, and the only issue I see is some wood has no color (should that go nowhere?). Seems pretty straightforward otherwise, though it's a large project! |
| Apr 21 19:30:43 | 11m 15s | Civilitris | ♥ 1 | Pretty good! Interesting but not too sure how the wood and sheep meters work, I had both but wood seemed empty a lot of the time lol, not sure if matching them reduces it or what not :) Also fire streaks can be rough (4 fire tiles in a row!? hehe). |
| Apr 21 19:53:39 | 22m 56s | Power Defense Game | ♥ 0 | haha nice victory message :) Sorta fun idler, I like it well done :) |
| Apr 21 21:22:20 | 1h 28m | Defenseless | ♥ 1 | Hi @cocosar07 ! Feedback probably similar to others here: - I enjoyed the game overall! Pretty cute, I like the angry looking bees/wasps/flying baddies! - Sound would add a bit more depth. You could get away with: fire crackle, guy yelping, flash sound, buzzing, ice. - Score would be a nice addition for some overall goal or persistence but more of a nice to have! - Great work! :) |
| Apr 21 21:27:42 | 5m 22s | Keep Your Town Alive! | ♥ 3 | @codechomper Cute game, not too clear on the proper methodology to milk cows or load the truck though I figured it out by trial and error! - Would be nice additions: brief explanation or how to, indicator for what's on the truck rather than the negative notation to required items. Great work :) |
| Apr 21 23:18:55 | 1h 51m | O Jardim | ♥ 1 | @tarcisiotm I like it! Exactly what I thought it would be when I saw the icon :) Very simple, elegantly designed, I was worried there might not be an "END" and then there was! Looks like a cherry blossom tree from Synty Samurai :) |
| Apr 21 23:40:20 | 21m 25s | Kitty is King | ♥ 2 | It's a cute game! The graphics are interesting and the theme is awesome (I love my cat haha). I'm not really sure what the bed/bath/cushion is for lol, but then again I kept getting my cat stolen :( Great job! |
| Apr 22 00:33:31 | 53m 11s | Zima | ♥ 2 | The idea is awesome, the setup is great too, great work for a short period of time :) There might be a slightly better indication of what wood/temperature ratio might be needed to not freeze in the morning as that's probably the worst way to wake up! (IRL and in game!), you could have some sort of book with notes in it to keep in the theme :) |
| Apr 22 12:37:23 | 12h 03m | The Last Raccoon | ♥ 2 | Really solid little game! I don't think I have any suggestions, definitely didn't encounter any bugs, and clearly if you did want to expand on the experience you already have the right path laid out for you :) Great work all around! |
| Apr 22 12:51:08 | 13m 45s | Goblin Slayer | ♥ 1 | Pretty solid little game, great first entry, no need to apologize :) |
| Apr 22 16:19:03 | 3h 27m | The Hero of the Hamlet | ♥ 0 | Hi there! It's a cute little game but it's extremely fast! I'm not sure if I'm just terrible though :) Simple concept, decently executed, just needs the pace slowed down a bit at the very least :) |
| Apr 22 16:30:56 | 11m 53s | Lich Clicker | ♥ 2 | Beautiful artwork, well organized thoughts and a lot of love went into this project :) Great submission, good fun, good clicker (even though these aren't usually my jam!). The upgrades were well planned and thought out though I didn't catch why my temple stopped doing damage over time (probably that big rock I added! :)). |
| Apr 22 16:57:47 | 26m 51s | Green Space | ♥ 1 | Hi @stanlkm ! Great first entry! It gives me a bit of a Star Control Vibe :) Maybe to build on @kaijiro 's observations, Earth probably shouldn't produce Greens if you want a game with a bit more urgency (it also fits your intro and concept). Earth should probably be stripping Greens and maybe that even accelerates over time and can be countered with tech investments. I think the above alone would probably make it feel more like a game! Couple of other questions: Is there anything beyond transferring greens or what would you plan if you had more development time? Currently, is there a reason to have HP? (I didn't see anything that would damage me) In general, I quite liked it and like i said maybe it's the planets and top down but I get a star control vibe hehe (Nostalgia!). |
| Apr 22 17:07:07 | 9m 20s | Cat Shelter Simulator | ♥ 3 | @fat-cat I love the approach and the theme, and more importantly my girflriend adores it though she did ask @ifidamas 's question about dogs :) It actually seems fairly well balanced to be honest, though having enough content in a Sim game can be tough in this tight a time frame! |
| Apr 23 02:27:17 | 9h 20m | Save Me! | ♥ 2 | @banksho Hi there, interesting wave based shooter :) Personally I found it pretty hard lol... Reload times felt long to the point where I just couldn't prevent zombies from reaching the damsel. Agree with @honey-pony about the shop pause, I think that would help the pacing a bit and noticed the same bug on restart :) |
| Apr 23 02:38:25 | 11m 08s | Lantern Lagoon | ♥ 2 | @quade-zaban and team, great work, cute game and good run on the fire/keep it alive theme :) Got to a point with three hanging things that I presume require some skills to all light that I don't quite have lol, but good variety in puzzles (design) cute graphics, solid sound, great little game :) |
| Apr 23 03:25:24 | 46m 59s | Dungeon Farmer | ♥ 0 | Well done @theqiwiboy for your first entry! :) WebGL can be tricky (I had some issues with mine earlier!). Some great ideas already shared by others for improvement, maybe later on you can allow the sword to move the full range and have the farmer randomly move around and plant things too :) Neat idea! |
| Apr 23 13:39:14 | 10h 13m | Keep The Party Alive | ♥ 1 | Great idea, great little game, little to say other than it would be cool if there was some indicator of what's wrong because running to the different areas to find the issue is not as fun ;) Maybe the queues could be different sounds (pretty obvious when the music stops for example). Maybe I missed a proper queue to distinguish the two cleaning scenes :) Either way, I loved it overall! Only ever got my party to 450 :) |
| Apr 23 14:40:58 | 1h 01m | Nest Guard VR | ♥ 3 | Hi there NestGuard team! I'm not able to test this, but as it shows first on my Smart list I really wanted to pop in and say props for doing a VR game! We need more good VR content out there :) I can already tell this sticks to the theme well, and will be fairly innovative, hopefully you get enough people with the required hardware rating it! |
| Apr 23 14:50:53 | 9m 55s | Last Light | ♥ 2 | Hi there! I love the original art and that you shared some design thoughts! :) I'm not 100% sure i get the mechanics though. My flower grew, I planted 3 little ones, but what happens next? Is there a fail mechanic? |
| Apr 23 17:38:59 | 2h 48m | Dino Volleyball | ♥ 1 | Pretty simple and fun little game! I'm pretty terrible, but got to 6 rallies lol :) Well done :) |
| Apr 23 19:02:05 | 1h 23m | Fuel Onward! | ♥ 2 | Great work! @drury saw this in ElysiaGriffin's twitch feed and had to try. Good work all around guys, no specific recommendations good LD entry! :) I love the end! |
| Apr 23 20:54:30 | 1h 52m | Someone called for an ambulance? | ♥ 1 | Very cute little game! :) Saw it on stream and decided I had to try it! Good music choices, fits the theme, great interface, good controls (sure it's hard on keyboard but you say it up front lol). Could easily be an app store game, really great job in the tight constraints of LD! |
| Apr 23 21:12:35 | 18m 05s | For The Band | ♥ 0 | Interesting, but not sure I quite get it, I recruited like 5 ppl in a row and in the next scene they said they're all leaving and it seems to freeze? O_o Might be missing something key hehe :) |
| Apr 24 11:18:51 | 14h 06m | Keep Charlie Alive | ♥ 1 | Hey @coolguy6316 , I quite liked your little platformer, and love the assets (Kenny Assets!). These are the same ones I'm using in a little game called Sam Jones Treasure Hunter :) I think the only feedback I have is that the water by default is difficult (maybe I have old man eyes) to see haha but managed to finish it pretty fast after two water deaths :) Great entry! @bigbadollie , SamJones! |
| Apr 24 11:31:07 | 12m 16s | Take Care Of Health Care | ♥ 1 | @mlho7 Cute game! Very original honestly, don't think I've seen anything like it. Cheh! I didn't quite understand the timing or if I was supposed to hit the dude, the buzzer, a specific part of the dude at first until I got a hit so maybe that could be clarified given the tight timing :) Also was trying to watch his great speeches so missed some opportunities lol. |
| Apr 24 16:24:55 | 4h 53m | The Dark Cave | ♥ 1 | Cool game, great atmosphere, as others said, definitely has Limbo vibes :) Good use of tools too! Well done! I particularly liked that I thought I was safe having cleverly given myself a big lead and then... nope :) haha :) |
| Apr 24 20:22:56 | 3h 58m | Mission Control | ♥ 0 | Decent little game, took me a sec to figure it out but in time to get past the first stage :) Good job :) |
| Apr 25 13:57:46 | 17h 34m | Knyttskogen | ♥ 2 | @sotsnut @jordgubben Very interesting interactive experience :) Took your advice and let it run while I worked on some course material (fortunately I do enjoy the sound of fire crackling, nicely done there!). Had some people pass and some stay, but mostly I just let it go and interacted with the fire now and then :) Nice little experience, thank you :) |
| Apr 25 17:01:56 | 3h 04m | Biorunner | ♥ 2 | Awesome little action game! :) I enjoyed playing, thank you for sharing! Not much in the way of feedback, although I found I got a little lost at times :) |
| Apr 25 17:09:41 | 7m 45s | Wife Is Life | ♥ 2 | Couldn't quite win the game, but interesting and unique for sure :) Yep some in game instructions like people said might be good as you start (even how to start the game!). |
| Apr 25 18:21:30 | 1h 11m | Faire L'Amour aux Plantes | ♥ 1 | Interesting choices and game :) I don't know who Neil is but I will google that lol :) |
| Apr 26 18:01:14 | 23h 39m | Yakka | ♥ 1 | Hi @midnightmist , same issue as @cliff-lee-cl not being able to progress... oh didn't find the plank though lol! Nice little game, and big props to your sister indeed, that's some beautiful hand drawn scenery and characters. Just some thoughts: Animation on the main character could have done with a little more motion on movement I find (not a big deal) and the tongue kinda moves strangely (not attached to the parent's y position it seems? Restart froze the game for me both times I did use it (though I played a few times anyway!), maybe not setting time.timescale back (I had that bug too on pause menu restart!). |
| Apr 26 18:14:24 | 13m 10s | The Last Flower | ♥ 1 | @unimaginable-code-studios great job :) I got stuck in an infinite death loop at the start of level 3 (damn flying octopuses!), a pause menu to exit to main menu would be a great addition later (no worries though, not many games had that!). Really interesting 2d action game honestly... I love the sword chucking with zero gravity :) In the time frame and with the limitations, you did a fantastic job overall. Next stage would be work on some player feedback for damage/death and maybe some running animation for the hero. The platforms behave a bit strange too, maybe by design though :) |
| Apr 26 20:06:44 | 1h 52m | Sunlit | ♥ 1 | Just an amazing experience overall, it might get a bit stale but the challenge ramps up so that doesn't matter too much, really really good in all categories, truly great job :) |
| Apr 28 13:57:19 | 41h 50m | Exterminators | ♥ 0 | Hi @zachary-shah ! Fun, interesting and as far as I can tell, quite unique game :) The instruction manual looks slick at the beginning and I read it but still wasn't quite sure on the mechanics I guess (didn't really get that I had to stand on the pads to charge them but I think that was my bad :) For the game itself, it looks good, plays well, but maybe some additional feedback to the player for a pad charged or indicators of what is going on would be good. The final level seems nearly impossible lol (at least for me!). EDIT: Should add that I tried only one character, I assume all are different and kudos for that too! |
| May 5 23:56:45 | 177h 59m | FLOWER | ♥ 1 | @shivart cute game for sure :) As you say, there isn't much to it as a game but as a short story it's pretty sweet :) |
