Apr 21 21:09:19 Birdie Burglars ♥ 1 So sweet it gave me diabetes. Loved every second of it!
Apr 21 21:29:29 20m 10s Keep Your Town Alive! ♥ 3 I liked the general style, reminded me of a game I played sometime in the early 00s. However, some kind of indication telling you what will happen if space is pressed. I put down the bucket several times when I wanted to milk a cow. Also, the bucked weirdly floats if the players position is right. Same for the edge of the barn - when standing in the right spot it'll look like the character is floating in front of it. Still a nice prototype though, really enjoyed it :)
Apr 21 21:51:27 21m 58s Pet shop INC. ♥ 0 Interesting concept, really good idea of approaching the theme. Things I noticed: -When I first started it I was unable to move and had to reload. -The fonts when hovering over animals/costumers are very anti-alias-y while the fonts in the shop are super-crisp and kinda break with the general art style of the game. -The background of the animal shop for me only covers the upper half of what i think was the intended area, so the lower buttons just float over the scene while the upper ones are in front of a background.
Apr 22 11:21:25 13h 29m LEADER KEEP THEM ALIVE ♥ 1 This is BY FAR the best game I've seen this jam. I'd honestly pay for this if this was a bigger game. Everything comes together great and I just LOVE the topic, so it really sucked me in. So good <3
Apr 22 22:11:48 10h 50m Balloon Rush ♥ 3 I like the concept, especially with the leaderboards. But there seems to be a bug somewhere: I played the tutorial, went back to the main menu afterwards and restarted the level, I was unable to place any fans. It works fine for the rest of the stages, but the tutorial just wont let you place anything.
Apr 22 22:36:01 24m 13s Bro Loving: Keep the Bromance Alive ♥ 3 Loved it. The only improvement i could think of are better transitions between the games, it just hardcuts off which feels very harsh in relation to the otherwise very chill feel of this game.
Apr 22 23:11:54 35m 53s Keeper of the Flame ♥ 1 I really liked this game. Its cute, the music is nice and teaching the player the general concepts through introductionary levels is really nice, especially given the short time you had to put the whole thing together. I have only two things that bothered my, one less significant, the other a little more annoying: The jumpspeed, especially on springs, seems a little too fast in my opinion, but thats alright. The more annoying thing is that the flame went out the exact millisecond the fan turned on, not giving the player a short moment to take a step back or really realize what just happened. It also feels weird because you have the cute little wind-animation which I'd have used to check whether the flame was touched, like: it actually needs to hit the player to kill the flame which would feel way more natural, especially since you can just walk right through them as soon as the fans are shut off (but the wind-animation is still playing). Those minor things aside: A great game, you should be proud of yourself! :)
Apr 23 13:22:05 14h 10m Madscape ♥ 1 Spent quite a while playing this one (and way more than a few five minutes on the default map :D), it's nicely addicting. Good job! However, I'd suggest to use the default map for a short intruduction on the rules and add maybe a title screen or something since it makes the whole thing look more polished than starting in medias res.
Apr 26 11:43:44 70h 21m Tower of BOOM ♥ 3 Super fast-paced, loved every second of it. the meter-mechanic really pushed me, usually a very safe player, to really go for risky strats. I noticed two things: 1) In the menu, the tips should either be their own screen, vanish after a while or when something else is klicked. Because when you open them and then open up the hints, they are still there and its a chaotic mess. :D 2) The arcade-y sound effect when the player dies is really quiet, i only noticed it when i died for the like fourth or fifth time.
Apr 26 12:03:44 20m 00s KeepAlive ♥ 2 Really charming idea, cute music and minimalistic style. I liked the difficulty curve, at first i was like "oh, thats... easy" but when it came to around 120 packets it got so intense a was staring at the screen and pusing buttons like a madman. Sadly, i actually have no idea how to make this better aside from adding way bigger things or putting this into a wario ware-like collection of games.
