| Oct 6 12:50:14 | Link the Fire | ♥ 0 | Interesting game. I really loved the art style and it made me want to explore and learn more about the cryptic world these guys live in. I enjoyed the small touches like how they blow bubbles when they are not working. One criticism I have is that I don't think you should allow the player to run into the black void at the edges of the screen unless you can find something there. The other boy with a torch kept running into the darkness so I did the same, but I never discovered anything. Maybe add a sound effect when you tell someone to go back to work to make it more obvious. Also on the web version on itch.io I believe the frame was cropped (your screenshot showed more of the world). Overall I really liked the mood and feeling of the world. The art, music, and cryptic statues made me want to know more about the world. | |
| Oct 6 13:12:50 | 22m 36s | The Mortal Coil | ♥ 1 | Nice game. I got up to the final boss but did not beat it. Overall the progression of upgrades carried the game, and I felt a real urge to keep collecting loopholes by hunting down enemies because I knew I would be using them to buy upgrades. What would have made the game even more engaging to me is if the enemies posed more of a challenge. The most difficult enemies seemed to only lock up my movement for a second, which asks the question of why I am working so hard to grab all the upgrades if the enemies don't really threaten me (besides giving me more time to hunt them). The music really added a lot to the game, but more sound effects would have made the experience more rich. The artstyle was charming as well. Overall great job :) |
| Oct 6 13:38:13 | 25m 23s | Hangin' Around | ♥ 1 | Very nice game. When I first played it, my I accidentally muted my sound, so I thought the there was no sound in the game and left 1 star for audio. Then I realized my sound was muted and replayed the game, and the sound of the light alone was enough to boost my rating way up. I really enjoyed all the mini games, especially the energetic music that plays. Overall great job. |
| Oct 6 18:05:07 | 4h 26m | Hot's Dogs | ♥ 2 | Very cute and nice world. It was fun to explore and give hotdog to the cyclops and sea monster. Physics were a little glitchy but I still wanted to complete the game. |
| Oct 6 18:14:09 | 9m 02s | Demon Watch | ♥ 1 | Cute game! I liked the different options and that you can get multiple endings (I got the second one). Some sound effects could have made the options feel more engaging, and the option to quickly finish reading text would have made it faster to play. Overall great job on the game, especially the mood. |
| Oct 6 18:26:53 | 12m 44s | Dash Or DIE! | ♥ 3 | I really like the pixel art animations and the shadow effect. Since you said you want to keep working on the game, some tips I would give are to add sound effects so that the combat feels more engaging, and use your pixel art skills to flesh out the world more. I would also polish the movement since for some reason the character feels a bit weightless. Otherwise it was a fun game and I hope you keep working on it. |
| Oct 6 18:31:15 | 4m 22s | The Loop of Death | ♥ 0 | Nice game. I think you should make some kind of effect when you hit enemies so the player knows they are dealing damage. It was fun to explore and try out some of the different weapons. |
| Oct 6 18:40:28 | 9m 13s | Swing to safety | ♥ 0 | Cute game, but it was really difficult to control the path you take through the air. The concept was pretty unique and there is a lot of potential for the mechanic you have. I think focusing on reducing the difficulty will help improve the game. A good tip is to ask someone who is really bad at video games to playtest your game, and see how they react. Even if you want your game to be difficult, most players should be able to get through a few levels. Overall nice job, you should keep working on it! |
| Oct 6 18:49:09 | 8m 41s | Threaded Loop | ♥ 0 | Sweet game! I really liked the artstyle and feeling of the game. The mechanics were a bit tricky to understand, I found myself trying to brute force past some of the levels. I definitely think you could expand this into a bigger game! |
| Oct 6 23:19:21 | 4h 30m | Beyond Death | ♥ 7 | Wow great job! I liked how the colors changed on death, and the art and animations were awesome. The forced perspective did make some traps a bit sneaky though. I thought it was really clever how the player's death can serve to both allow you to progress, and also stop you from dying to the same spike trap again even if it is not on the critical path. Outstanding work! |
| Oct 6 23:34:51 | 15m 30s | Untitled cat unboxing | ♥ 2 | Great job! Very charming style. I was verrryy confused at first as to what was happening (even the instructions on the itch page say it is indescribable), but after I got the hang of the swap mechanics I started having a blast. It really is a cool system for solving puzzles. Would love to see this expanded into a larger game -- I'm sure there are many ways you could explore tying the time loop system to level mechanics, like with the pressure plates. |
| Oct 6 23:53:36 | 18m 45s | Ekko | ♥ 1 | Sick game! Loved the art style and mechanic. I thought you explored the mechanic very well. I was anticipating the final level being boring since it seemed like it was going to be tedious, but I ended up enjoying it the most. It felt like a race against time, trying to get all my clones in place before time ran out. That being said, it would have been nice to have a "kill" button to let me instantly skip to the next clone so I didn't have to wait on the button for a few seconds. I also agree with Julius's comment above, this mechanic deserves more exploration! I'm certain there are more ways to interact with the level besides standing on buttons, and I'd love to see what you guys come up with if you continue development. Great job overall. |
| Oct 7 00:06:07 | 12m 31s | For { } | ♥ 1 | Wow, this might be my favorite game of the jam so far! The functionality of each block became really clear as time went on. I was able to predict how the loop would run and what I should edit and in what order. The error messages were sick, the low res pixel art was sick. Sorry, I can't think of anything to criticize so you can improve the game haha |
| Oct 7 13:35:28 | 13h 29m | SORO BORO | ♥ 3 | Very nice entry! Really cool premise. It was difficult but fun. I especially loved the mood of the cursed temple. |
