| Apr 27 18:02:15 | Descentris | ♥ 1 | An excellent game! It took me a few tries to get the hang of it, but then it's a lot of fun. The music and graphics are very nice. The one thing I'd have liked is better end detection, as in the game knowing I was out of valid moves, getting a long piece when I built up to the bottom of the screen and I'm out of bombs does feel a bit tedious. Not a problem for a jam release of course | |
| Apr 27 18:33:43 | 31m 28s | Beans in space!! | ♥ 2 | Nice game. I like the visual effects and the general idea. I didn't get through the last level, in part because I really didn't want to spend two minutes every time I died going through all the earlier levels again just to die again by getting timing wrong... |
| Apr 27 18:40:36 | 6m 53s | Category Purgatory | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept! The music makes this quite intense! I tried Europe first, which I found hard because while I know where everything is, I wasn't ever sure where e.g. the difference between south and southwest would be. The WebGL version works for me in firefox, by the way. |
| Apr 27 18:50:12 | 9m 36s | Deep Diver | ♥ 1 | Excellent work! My best score is 254, which to be honest was a lucky outlier :) Bonus points for the biographies of all the characters in the intro! |
| Apr 27 18:54:56 | 4m 44s | Deeper in the Void | ♥ 1 | Cute graphics :) I'll send those three souls over as soon as I've collected them from people who owe me theirs! |
| Apr 27 19:10:31 | 15m 35s | Ppbbfftt Mining Ha! | ♥ 2 | The usual commanderstitch chaos, with my usual inability to get very far :) Interesting shotgun! |
| Apr 27 21:16:04 | 2h 05m | The Adventurer Guild | ♥ 2 | A perfect background game :) I managed to make my way to the end, although once I managed to get through the first dungeon everything else was pretty easy. Well done! If there's one thing I'd suggest (apart from balance) it would be item sorting to make item management a bit less clunky |
| May 2 16:31:26 | 115h 15m | Mycelisation | ♥ 3 | Very nice game! I enjoyed it throughout. The graphics are nice and balanced, the sound and music are fitting, and the UI works well. I played on linux (1920x1080 full-screen) and didn't have any of the issues the itch.io page mentions as possible. Some possible improvements if you want to do further work on this could be auto-scrolling to the new sprout when using next/previous buttons ,combined with maybe some adjustments for common screen sizes (it *nearly* fit for me on 1920x1080, one or two fewer rows or slightly smaller graphics and scrolling wouldn't have been needed at all); having a way to skip sprouts with no AP on next/previous; graying out or hiding the upgrade button when the sprout is fully upgraded; and having escape close the upgrade dialog. All of those are fixes for minor things that are entirely expected in a jam game, nothing major at all. |
| May 2 17:23:32 | 52m 06s | Monkey Business | ♥ 2 | Nice idea! I did have fun with this for a while. I like the concept, graphics and sound. I did encounter a few bugs: * the banana grabber seems to check for bananas in reach *after* collecting bananas, so paying for a longer arm after it has run out of bananas in reach doesn't restart it * There seem to be a few race conditions with the truck. At one point I wasn't paid for a load of oil, and at another loading the truck with more oil (it was nearly full already) seems to have subtracted a full load from the refinery, making the stock there negative. |
| May 2 20:22:28 | 2h 58m | The Bothnia Trench | ♥ 1 | Very nice! The music works very well, and the graphics are great. I enjoyed the puzzles, although I did make the mistake of watching it being played first, so I did know the solutions. I did notice a few typos here and there. I know how running out of time for a final proof-reading pass goes :) |
| May 2 20:48:35 | 26m 07s | Diggy the Dig | ♥ 1 | I like this a lot, for the bit I got through. I think I figured out the bone double-jump, but I just can't do it... Very nice theme though! |
| May 2 20:59:53 | 11m 18s | Deep Blue | ♥ 1 | Wow! Very intense, and excellent use of silhouette and sounds to build tension. It was tricky, but thanks to the checkpoints I did get through it! |
| May 3 15:50:45 | 18h 50m | Dive! Dive! | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Everything that needs to be there is there. The submarine and mines look good, and the sounds are decent. Not a bad way to waste some time! The one thing I'd say could be improved is probably the background. The water looks a bit sky-like, so a darker shade could be better. Also maybe some "scenery" (algae on the rocks, ...) to make the downward motion more obvious? |
| May 3 15:58:27 | 7m 42s | DigOut | ♥ 1 | I laughed when I saw the theme interpretation. Great idea! :) It plays pretty well, and the digging mechanic is a nice touch. Well done! |
| May 3 16:40:04 | 41m 37s | Psychology of the Depths | ♥ 1 | An excellent interpretation of the theme! It took me a while to figure out how everything worked (in hindsight that's my fault for not reading the instructions properly), but it was fun to play after that. I managed to get to level 7. Nice voice work :) |
| May 3 16:49:16 | 9m 12s | Gyro Scavenger | ♥ 0 | Graphics and sound are excellent! I do like the controls, but I'm bad at them, so I didn't get very far :) Well done! |
| May 3 17:07:36 | 18m 20s | Drill18^2 - This is Just a Drill | ♥ 0 | Nice game! I can't say I've mastered it yet, but I'll get there :) |
| May 3 20:48:27 | 3h 40m | Celestial Corruption | ♥ 1 | Well done! Nice graphics, smooth gameplay, and a story. What more can one want? :) |
| May 3 20:55:37 | 7m 10s | Depth Orb | ♥ 0 | Nice game! Sound and graphics are great, and the controls work well. I didn't get very far, but that's just me :) |
| May 3 20:59:11 | 3m 34s | Deep Descent | ♥ 1 | Looks very nice, and the sounds are good as far as I got, but I didn't get very far. My reflexes are not anywhere near good enough to control this lander |
| May 3 21:05:05 | 5m 54s | Break your fall | ♥ 1 | I survived! :) Nice idea, and nice graphics and sound. At one point I thought it was starting to go too fast, but then things turned around and I slowed down enough. I don't know if I'd play this for hours, but it's definitely fun for a bit. |
| May 3 21:14:27 | 9m 22s | Project Orpheo | ♥ 1 | Works pretty well! I managed better than I expected with my horrible gameplay abilities :) Graphics, sound effects and music are all pretty good. |
| May 3 21:53:22 | 38m 55s | Bucket: A Space Odyssey | ♥ 0 | Very well done! The story works, and is nicely illustrated, with fitting music. One annoying thing was the speed of text advancing, which was too slow for me. Having some way to control that (or just compete the paragraph when clicking or pressing space) would have improved the experience a lot for me. |
| May 3 22:02:45 | 9m 23s | Spermy the Whale Goes Deeper and Deeper | ♥ 1 | A really nice concept! I enjoyed playing this, although I didn't manage to get past those pesky submarines :) |
