Apr 21 11:26:09 Hack'n Dice ♥ 4 The graphics and sound design for this was really good considering the time limit, I also love the 'paper mario' 2.5D perspective. I will say that maybe you could have added a tutorial screen or something in-between the exposition and game play scenes. but that's a minor note since the overall design as so intuitive and responsive I figured out how to play relatively quick. Overall great job guys, I'm impressed.
Apr 21 11:52:57 26m 48s Checkmate ♥ 3 oooooh wow, this was really good. I'm super impressed that you managed to get all this done in 72 hours! As an amateur chess fan I realize that I'm a bit biased here but I would have loved for the 'chess' aspect to be more integrated in the game-play/level design, like instead of something like a knife as a secondary weapon you could kill opposing pawns 'an passant' or something. I was also kind of expecting the black queen to be waiting for me fully decked out with a machine gun and a pawn army ready to f my shit up. so I was a little disappointed. As a minor note, I almost just dropped the game at the start because I didn't realize that you could move the king! that's on me to some extent but maybe really make sure you tutorialize the player so that idiots like me get it :) but this was fantastic, good job guys!
Apr 21 12:00:24 7m 27s Save Satan ♥ 0 As others have said, I struggled a bit in the beginning to understand how to play, but I think it's just because the game doesn't communicate that well. When I died and the screen just froze for like 2 sec and the tutorial text move around, so I thought that I was still in the tutorial, not that I was getting my ass handed to me.
Apr 21 12:12:39 12m 15s Project Kepler ♥ 1 “A way too complicated space ship management game” that about sums up my experience haha. but it would be nice if you added some tutorial text to the description, since you said that it's about 70% feature complete I have no idea if what I'm pressing actually does anything
Apr 21 12:19:14 6m 35s Doctor Lit ♥ 2 I'm actually really upset that you didn't have time to add all the features you wanted, since I really enjoyed what is here, and I've love to 'get in to it' so to speak. anyway, good job man!
Apr 21 12:28:20 9m 06s EsfandTV : In Defense of His Purity ♥ 1 I don't know this stream so I guess I don't really get any of the jokes, but it's overall a smooth experience, and I'm quite impressed that you got the fmv stuff to feel this good.
Apr 21 12:35:56 7m 36s Looking for Group ♥ 2 I really enjoyed this, it's really hit the mood of some light-hearted adventuring fun! It's was a bit hard to understand that I had to click the characters to cast my spells (I know the tutorial tried to tell me) but since there was to feed back and I didn't get at first that I was playing as the cleric I just saw that stuff was happening, so I thought I just had to hover over the character I wanted to cast on.
Apr 21 13:17:12 41m 16s Pollice Verso ♥ 2 I almost didn't play the game since I didn't realize you had to use the keyboard to navigate, so I was clicking the start button like an idiot, thought the game was just broken. anyways, this was a really cool twist on the theme I love the idea that you just have to make the fight interesting, but not actually kill the opponent. It'd be nice to get some feedback/tutorialization for the 'prepare for fight' screen, since I didn't really understand how it worked, but I made a lot of money so I guess I did something right! I really liked this, but if you checkout our submission you might find that I'm a little biased for gladiator themed games, ahah.
Apr 26 09:53:22 116h 36m Marx's Graffiti Squad ♥ 1 I LOVE the interpretation of the theme, unfortunately I think the Balanced Win build has some sort of bug, the games runs at like 3fps, unless I hold space to bring up the map, then it runs at normal speed, but it's really hard to tell where I'm going since I'm suddenly speeding around and the map covers most of my view. Anyways I'll still rate it as if that wasn't an issue, I still thought the main loop was fun and the graphics are quite nice, it's a shame you didn't have time for sound as I think that would have really sold the mood! good job guys!!
Apr 26 10:04:43 11m 21s Bestseller ♥ 1 This one gave me a good chuckle, I really enjoyed the sound effected as they put my in the right mood when I was frantically pressing left/right trying too keep him alive. The only thing I would have liked to see was some sort of indication of how fast the dial was moving to the left or right.
Apr 26 10:20:02 15m 19s ALPHA PAPA ECHO ♥ 1 holy heck I should never become a pilot, haha. This is a really solid submission, fantastic work!
