| Apr 27 10:14:24 | OPEN SEA DEEP SPEAR FISHING DELUXE | ♥ 1 | This is a great looking game! I had some trouble aiming the spear, maybe a crosshair or some kind of lock-on targeting would help? The tug-of-war "surfing" mechanic feels amazing! Really cool! | |
| Apr 27 13:18:11 | 3h 03m | Mine The Beat | ♥ 2 | Really cool Crypt-of-the-necrodancer-like (is that a real genre? 🤔) I love how you put in the effort to add character customization as well! As others have commented, the movement feel a little unresponsive. I think responsive controls is one of the most important things to get right in a rhythm game like this. The GDC session "The Best Animation Tricks of the Trade" from 2016 has a great section about responsive animation and anticipation that I highly recommend you checking out! Other than that I think this is a solid entry. Cute graphics and amazing music (I ran around in a circle for a while just listening to the soundtrack :P) |
| Apr 28 18:53:13 | 29h 35m | Freg, Fregg, and Freggy: The Last Band | ♥ 2 | This is a really nice looking game! I'm impressed by the amount of content you managed to add in such short amount of time, and the art looks amazing! Great soundtrack as well! I enjoyed the card mechanics, but I didn't really understand the point of the zone cards? The game initially launched Steam VR and played through my VR-headset. This seems to be a common problem with games made with unreal, does the engine default to launching in VR-mode or something? For anyone experiencing that issue, the workaround is to launch the game with the `-nohmd` command line argument. Sadly I couldn't finish the game because of the random crashing. The furthest I got was to lantern level 3, but I would have loved to continue playing to the end. Technical issues aside, overall a great entry, well done! |
| Apr 28 19:10:13 | 17m 00s | Into the Deep | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed that. Very peaceful. The ending felt a little abrupt though. Bumping into the whale near the beginning was oddly satisfying, haha. Good job! On a side note, it looks like you are missing a thumbnail for the game (unless the website is just acting up) you might want to consider adding one :) |
