| Apr 28 09:40:00 | Into the Castle | ♥ 5 | Man, I geeked out when playing through the tutorial section! So many right decisions. Spawning the player in where you teach them to shoot and placing them JUST out of range is pure genius. You tell them how to shoot but you also teach them naturally exactly how long their range is WITHOUT having to tell them. Really well done. Another moment is the first introduction to jumping on enemy "heads". If you just walk onto them, they will slide you on down to the platform you want to go to. Hand-holding the player through the first head jumping. These parts show a clear understanding of design, which I really appreciate <3 Super well done! | |
| Apr 28 10:05:52 | 25m 52s | Into The Forest | ♥ 5 | Clear example of quality over quantity for the art. Well done <3 I played through a couple of times and my best time was 0:55 :P I don't know if that's good or not but I tried my best! |
| Apr 28 10:39:27 | 33m 35s | The Fool's Descent | ♥ 2 | I enjoy it when a game explores its mechanics beyond what is obvious at first. The early barrel placement on an elevated platform that you could only shoot down by hitting the ceiling and waiting for the arrow to drop was a nice example of you exploring the mechanics in a creative way. Really appreciate stuff like that <3 Well done :D |
| Apr 28 11:47:59 | 1h 08m | RAMnesia | ♥ 4 | "You win. Great job, penis" XD Took me 18 minutes but I made it. There was so much to process at once I think my head was close to frying under the pressure but I prevailed! :D Fun game and considering it's a compo, I am super impressed with the overall package; the visuals, music and sound is very well done, just like your last game <3 |
| Apr 28 12:28:40 | 40m 41s | Deep Seek | ♥ 3 | Took me about 20 minutes but I finally found all 10 pieces of wood 🌲 You nailed the atmosphere/mood. The audio suited the visuals well and I gotta admit I developed a sense of anxiety while playing 😅 I got over it, though (thank god for pockets of air). Well done for creating so many items and animations in 48 hours! Pretty impressive considering it's a compo entry. Thanks for making it <3 |
| Apr 28 12:40:06 | 11m 26s | Trek Through Billy | ♥ 4 | Multiple choice dialogue, hilariously self aware writing and an epic adventure to the heart of the body! So glad I managed to save the day. I was worried that the slithering creature at the end might put up a fight or that the guard earlier might show some resistance, but it seems everyone had the health of Billy in mind and got along, despite their differences. What a wholesome story 😄 Always love playing your entries! |
| Apr 28 13:08:08 | 28m 02s | Archeo | ♥ 3 | Honestly, this is a really good skeleton for a full game. If you made it into a museum tycoon and gave the player more things to find and different kind of artefacts, it would be worth paying for. Imagine different excavation sites that you can unlock by paying for the rights to dig there or buy the property. Dig up, run a museum and pay for more digging with the ticket admission prices and government culture funds. Really enjoyed it and it inspired a lot of ideas :D |
| Apr 28 13:49:02 | 40m 54s | Monkey Quest | ♥ 3 | Really well executed art, suitable audio and fun gameplay loop that kept me playing far beyond the average LD entry :D I don't think I came across a single bug so it's clear that you put a lot of work into polish, which I appreciate! Solid entry! |
| Apr 29 09:56:39 | 20h 07m | Quick Scrap | ♥ 2 | Wow. Solid, clear visual design (making enemies and hurtful walls having the same color for example) as well as quite a few assets for a compo. 5/5 graphics 👍 The game itself is also one of the more fun experiences I have had so far! It gave that feeling of "one more try" to either get a better time or because I died and couldn't end on a loss 😄 Well done! |
| Apr 29 10:33:02 | 36m 23s | Goo Grab | ♥ 4 | I am really impressed with the use of color here. Green being a healthy player character and the hurtful stuff being pink/red is genius as they are essentially opposites on the spectrum. On top of that, green is also used to indicate full HP as part of the traffic light system! So good! That is such good, clear design and everyone around the world will understand the relationship those colors have to each other. I also appreciate the procedural levels. It's cool to be able to put in any seed and play against friends 😄 Really good entry! |
| Apr 29 11:36:33 | 1h 03m | HELLEVATOR | ♥ 4 | Polished, high octane action and the only way we're going is down 😎 I managed to get 2258M down 💪 which must make me the world's most average player 😓 Still, fun was had and monsters died. Solid entry 👍 |
| Apr 29 12:16:02 | 39m 29s | Magic Frontier | ♥ 4 | Possibly my favorite entry so far. It is certainly the one I enjoyed playing the most! I love strategy games in general and this game tickles that itch in a clever way and also inspires new ideas where this kind of mechanic is the skeleton of the game. I hope you plan to expand this into a full game; if you do, let me know! Well done on the polish and quality of life additions like options menu etc. Really appreciate it! |
| Apr 29 13:34:41 | 1h 18m | Gem Raiders | ♥ 1 | It was Christmas 2002 and I was hoping dearly that I would get Dungeon Siege for Christmas! I had told my parents I wanted it and waited eagerly! Christmas came around 🎄 I opened one of my presents and it was Dungeon... keeper? oh. Not quite what I wanted but I guess it's a game. Fast forward and I sat down to actually play it. I loved it. This game tickles a lot of the same spots as that game does. I love the fact that you added the height adjust feature for the walls! Quality of life improvements like that are so rare in LD. Would love a post-jam version <3 |
| Apr 29 14:22:31 | 47m 50s | Sonder (a story) | ♥ 3 | This game oozes atmosphere. The light tones of the soundtrack, the carefully crafted sounds for each inspected element in frame and the distinct, muted art style really evokes emotion and intrigue. It's wonderful to see a different take on the theme. Thank you for the experience <3 It was soothing. |
| Apr 29 14:32:40 | 10m 09s | Magic Takes Root | ♥ 5 | EEEEK! I LOVE IT 😄 I love the silly narrative, I love stacking hats (TF2 anyone?) and I love the enthusiastic voice work. This game really appeals to my senses and after playing game after game that tries too much and fails, it's refreshing to see such a wonderful execution of a fun idea. Well done! |
| Apr 29 14:44:49 | 12m 09s | Deeper and deeper | ♥ 5 | That was an interesting experience. I think you did a good job on the visuals; the style is consistent and damn 👀 look at those floorboards 👀 It was also intriguing to find out what sort of mischief I could get up to with R 😏 |
| Apr 29 15:03:40 | 18m 51s | Kicks'n'Relics | ♥ 6 | Return to Monke 🐒 Really well animated. Loved lining the mummies up against the wall and whooping each and every one of them. I sent them running to their mummy's 😉 I also really appreciated the humor. The "crow"bar got me 😆 Well done! :D |
| Apr 29 15:36:36 | 32m 56s | Freg, Fregg, and Freggy: The Last Band | ♥ 5 | First of all, loved the presentation and music. You know I appreciate intro sequences 😉 You also know I am trying to make LD voice acting a thing so I appreciate the solidarity on that front 😆 The art, especially the hand drawn images were gorgeous. The sound effects during fights were fun and charming; hearing each note, strum and bump of instruments go along with the animation was well conceived and executed. The music was so good that I sat on the menu screen long enough to find out it didn't loop 😅 So I restarted the game to keep listening. I love jazz! The gameplay was intriguing. The approach of having the player not directly control, but rather influence the Freg brothers on their journey was an interesting one. I understand it may not be exactly how you planned it out but honestly, the idea shines through. If a post jam version is in the pipeline, let me know! :D |
| Apr 29 16:05:22 | 28m 46s | CAELUM CORE | ♥ 6 | Gotta say, the music was a Bop! The art is also distinct from basically any other LD I have played so far and looks stylish 👀 Once I got used to the controls, I was flying all over the map like I was speedrunning 💪 A timed run would be sweet! |
| Apr 30 10:54:07 | 18h 48m | Mind Diver | ♥ 2 | Ayy, look at that 👀 Another LOVE game 😄 This reminded me of how bad I am at precision 😅 (Probably why I suck at FPS games) It was engaging to try and get higher and higher scores but I didn't get very far in that regard 😓 My lack of skill aside, I enjoyed it 😃 With mouse control, it could even work as a shooter game trainer 🤔 |
| Apr 30 12:02:14 | 1h 08m | So-so-phia | ♥ 4 | I though this game was... So-so. Sorry, I had to. I actually think it was pretty good :P I loved being able to combine abilities (rather than have my projectiles replaced). Blasting off a ton of abilities at once was exciting! The end where I could blink around and completely tear the big dude a new one was particularly fun! So yeah, I think this game was So-so-Good! |
| Apr 30 12:24:22 | 22m 08s | Wall of Red String | ♥ 3 | 3f5784d8a4dd75f6d5d92bf1f4a5fec1.png I got the villain 🕵 Nobody can elude my gaze forever 👀 For real, this was one of those games that IMMEDIATELY tickled me. As soon as I moved stuff and more stuff appeared, I audibly got hyped. I love the concept and it would be so cool to have a this be a mini-game in a larger game about investigating worldwide conspiracies! The truth is out there! The music is also extremely fitting and a beautiful piece! Top quality stuff! To cap it all off, it's made with LOVE! 😄 Nice! Glad to see more people giving that framework some ... LOVE... |
| Apr 30 12:51:49 | 27m 27s | Fever Dream | ♥ 4 | 🔵 🐀 Gotta go fast! Man, what a blast. Good tutorialization and fun gameplay! I also appreciate the direction the music took; the perfect blend of fun and dreamy. I am sad to say I didn't beat the developer time 😓 I tried. |
| Apr 30 13:13:46 | 21m 57s | Trposhi | ♥ 3 | Gotta say, I love the soundscapes, both above and below ground ❤️ What is here is quite fun. I see you have talked about a post jam version and I would encourage it! 😄 Maybe some artefacts to be found? Maybe a town above ground as well as dwellers in the caves? Maybe let the builder build beds to increase sleeping speed? So many ideas come to mind! I look forward to what you come up with! great entry! |
| Apr 30 14:44:01 | 1h 30m | Gone Fishing | ♥ 4 | There were a *ton* of fish 🐟 🐡 🐠 🍣 congrats on making so many 😄 Must have been fun. It was cool that the music changed as you went deeper! It helped keep the game fresh as you progressed! I also appreciated getting a fat pay day from rare fish 😎 |
| Apr 30 14:53:06 | 9m 05s | Dive to live | ♥ 7 | Loved the music 🎶 Loved the art 🖌 Loved the atmosphere 🌊 Solid entry 💕 |
| Apr 30 15:08:26 | 15m 20s | Masseuse you Loose | ♥ 4 | 4d8caff42f81375205aa131b77c5dd40.jpg Messed up on the last body! Almost got straight As. Oh well. The controls are superb! High marks in innovation. It really felt like I undoing knots and poking a body. On top of that, the controls were all distinct but in reach at the same time so I could go from one to the other no problem. Really well done on that front! This is like cook serve delicious but for touching people. Make a full version! |
| Apr 30 15:27:18 | 18m 52s | Kira's Flower Delivery | ♥ 4 | The gorgeous art and fun music help create a wonderful atmosphere. It's cute and charming! Well done ❤️ |
| Apr 30 15:46:47 | 19m 29s | Deep Dive Drive 2000 | ♥ 3 | This game is all about the V I B E 🌈 and on that front, it succeeds! Wonderful art and atmosphere. Impressive amounts of radio broadcasts 😄 |
