Oct 6 14:25:36		Defuse in under 5	♥ 0	Very clever! A good mix of doing some strategy while also trying to be as quick as possible on each run. I'm playing on a touchpad and it was very very hard to be able to enter the code in time.
Oct 9 20:43:56	78h 18m	Oplo	♥ 1	Really clever use of the theme and great puzzle fighter gameplay! It feels great to outsmart the level, and it's great to just sail past stuff that I initially died on when being reckless. Great graphics and audio as well, I love the tactile squishiness of everything. I got to level 10 and my one criticism is it just feels way to harsh to start from level 0, and for a Ludum Dare game I had to little patience than to start over again. There's satisfaction in the above mentioned sailing past previously difficult levels, but for the levels you aced the first time it's just fairly boring to play through them again in a turn-based game. Potentially a checkpoint every 3 levels or so would work if the difficulty was balanced around this instead, if you want to keep some of the long-term survival aspect of it and not have the player restart on the current level.
Oct 9 20:54:25	10m 29s	FROGS Training to be Heros (In a large 'wheel-thing')	♥ 1	Great take on the theme, and feels very satisfying to play! The physics are just right and it's fun to plan out the jumps. Very impressive that you made three different playable characters.
Oct 24 16:45:19	355h 50m	Debugger	♥ 1	Very clever entry! It's well implemented and "feels" like being in an IDE. It might stray from the concept but more effects and general feedback would be cool, and I think less silly music would fit better.
Oct 24 16:52:49	7m 30s	a nice place	♥ 1	Really good graphics - like a little lofi Link's Awakening. The different palettes for different times of day were very nice. Cosy wave sounds! The story and general concept was good. but could perhaps been explored a bit more clearly. The houses being flipped was a bit disorienting and I usually tried to walk up upon entering from muscle memory of other games.
Oct 24 16:58:56	6m 07s	Arcade Legend	♥ 1	The graphics are great and it looks like a great cozy dingy arcade! If you added some bleeps and bloops in the background it would go a long way to further sell the setting. For me the gameplay was a bit repetitive - it somehow reminded me of Tamagochis which were always a bit too much busywork and too little satisfaction for me.
Oct 24 17:05:29	6m 33s	Fish Balls	♥ 0	Really cool graphics, and cute audio! Also good physics, everything bops around in a satisfying way. For me the crane game action is a bit too slow and I do find myself tiring fairly quickly after missing a few fish in a row. That's part of that genre more than this particular game I guess - in real life there's real money on the line and the potential for a real prize, and without these things it doesn't quite have the same allure.
Oct 24 17:11:47	6m 18s	Gravity Blade	♥ 0	Good music and general vibe! The snare controls did feel a bit loose to me and I did have trouble getting it to do what I wanted.
Oct 24 17:18:12	6m 25s	BOOTLOOP_RECOVERY	♥ 1	Great graphics, audio and atmosphere! And the little radar worked very well, it was fun to sneak around and avoid the red slime ghost monster. I thought it was hard to know what I could interact with, and the mouse sensitivity was a bit high - perhaps because I played on a laptop and touchpad.
Oct 24 17:24:42	6m 30s	two tapes	♥ 1	A very full game experience! The graphics and cool music really help sell the concept and get you invested. Very clever and engaging puzzles, however a bit too tricky for me to line up things correctly as you got further.
Oct 24 17:29:14	4m 32s	The Dusty Work	♥ 1	Clever gameplay, cute graphics and nice choice of music! Certain interactions felt a bit hard to time correctly, like activating the fan - might be good with some indication on the tile it pushes for the duration it's active to help the player learn the timing.
Oct 24 17:34:58	5m 44s	ME! vs the unrelenting alien invasion	♥ 1	The core gameplay loop is satisfying, and it is just the right level of frustrating to have to wait to be in a proper position to blast the aliens. The funky tunes and crunchy sound effects help a lot too. Initially a bit too much text stopping you from playing.
Oct 24 17:41:53	6m 55s	Plasma	♥ 1	Good audio and general atmosphere! And the gameplay is satisfying - the only caveat is the controls were sometimes a bit too sensitive so I didn't feel like I could always line up the shots I wanted to take.. I did fairly quickly start running out of bullets and astronauts as well.
Oct 24 17:53:32	11m 39s	Stuck In Paris	♥ 2	One of my favourite entries so far! Pure, unadulterated silly fun. The "Fun" mode was a laugh, and the cute little cars have a nice wobble to them. I liked the ones with a cat on the roof. It was potentially a bit to slow to try again and replay the first few levels to try and do better. Surprisingly close to that real roundabout!
Oct 25 14:55:05	21h 01m	Minecart Dungeon	♥ 1	I like the general concept a lot and the game plays well! It was sometimes hard to see exactly which parts the switches affected, and with having to wait until you reached a switch again to test it again this got a bit frustrating.
Oct 25 14:59:20	4m 15s	Mom! I've got a job!	♥ 1	Very cute graphics and audio! And perfect autumn atmosphere. The gameplay might need a bit more of a twist to make it really engaging, but it played well.
Oct 25 15:11:56	12m 36s	Suburban Bus MAYHEM	♥ 1	Very funny and suprisingly satisfying to play - the controls are kinda wonky but it fits with the silly theme. Great silly music as well.
Oct 25 15:20:38	8m 42s	Ragtime Loop	♥ 0	I like the silly music! And the rhythm gameplay is fun. The timing felt a bit wonky at times and I didn't quite know when I successfully hit an enemy or not.
