| Apr 27 10:10:48 | Boots & Booty | ♥ 1 | Great game as always. The visuals and audio are brilliant. Touches like the coffee mug, seagulls, and little rumbles here and there really set the mood. First time I got the turbulence from the whale(?) was another great moment. I liked that what was happening outside the window was actually secondary/redundant where gameplay was concerned and the game was completely played on the little displays in the game. Downsides? Maybe the grabber minigame was a little too easy. I didn't fail it once or perhaps I'm just that good at games. To be honest though I couldn't really fault it. Good stuff 🎱 | |
| May 12 13:11:45 | 363h 00m | Wormholes | ♥ 1 | It took me a while to understand the portal mechanic. I don't think I've seen anything like that before. Having to pass through at a set speed was really interesting to me. I played all the way to the end, but I don't think that mechanic alone is enough to justify the length. It's well made and the graphics are good. Solid entry 🎱 |
| May 12 13:24:03 | 12m 18s | Minexile | ♥ 1 | The audio had an eerie sci-fi vibe to it. Not sure if that was the intention, but it really added to the mood. The visuals are nice if a little basic. The mechanics all seem sound enough and it's pretty well balanced considering it's a jam game. Looks like you all put a lot of work into this, and you've done a fine job. good stuff 🎱 |
| May 13 09:02:34 | 19h 38m | Subsanity | ♥ 1 | Great entry. The audio in the third(final) area was amazing and really set the mood. The graphics overall were good, but again the third area shone out in that department too. The level design in the third area was also streaks ahead of the other two. In the first area the mishmash of tiles made a few sections unnecessarily confusing, the cleaner look of the third was much better. It was a great decision to switch up the gameplay for the second area, but it did feel a bit lacking with only the sharks to contend with. Hope that didn't sound too negative as I really enjoyed this. I played to the end and even wanted there to be more. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 13 09:39:17 | 36m 43s | Deep Cover | ♥ 3 | Wow! You all put a lot of work into this. Great job. I love the cut out style. Artwork was great. Audio was great. Plot was fun and engaging. I noticed a couple of areas that could have done with a bit of extra work but more than forgivable given the final entry. And you got me lol at the IT Crowd reference so well done for that. This is probably my favourite entry I've played so far. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 15 20:26:12 | 58h 46m | Deep Space | ♥ 1 | This is a solid entry. I had fun playing it. Gameplay is simple and easy to understand. There's lots of scope for player choice and in turn various tactics/play styles. Is there an ending? I feel like I got pretty far. I think I'll go have another try. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 15 20:38:43 | 12m 31s | Lost Mind | ♥ 2 | I didn't get it at first, but once I did it became quite easy. Interesting game though; I don't think I ever seen anything like it. The audio was superb and set the mood perfectly. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 15 21:04:02 | 25m 19s | Down - The game | ♥ 1 | This is good for a jam game. I like the visuals, and the audio was really good. I had plenty of fun playing. The game did crash when my minions reached the portal on level 6 though. My only suggestions would be more variety, but I'm guessing you figured that already and as it's a jam it's easily forgivable. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 16 19:45:42 | 22h 41m | Under Pressure | ♥ 1 | I spent longer than I care to admit building a sub capable of reaching the bottom. It was lots of fun too. My only suggestion is to put a label on each engine with the key that controls it. That would help when the sub tumbles. Great entry overall though. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 16 20:06:41 | 20m 59s | Voyage of Science and Legacy | ♥ 1 | I like the ambition of this one, but I think it needed more time than 48 hours to do it justice. An interactive 'biography' of the Voyager probe is a great concept, and there's a lot of scope for minigames and such. I did enjoy the ride though. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 16 20:37:09 | 30m 28s | Town of Monsters | ♥ 1 | I'm getting some serious TROIKA! vibes from this entry, which is awesome. The art is great and the voice acting was brilliant. Combined they form a really off-kilter mood that works so well to draw the player into this weird and wonderful world you've created. I'm really digging this one. My only quibble was the combat was a little obtuse. A few clues as to which combos were each opponents favoured attack/defence would have helped. I enjoyed it a lot though. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 16 20:50:02 | 12m 53s | Deep Space | ♥ 1 | Ha! This is kinda wacky and whimsical. I have to admit that from looking at the screenshots I thought the game was going to be very basic. But there's quite a bit going on and it has a lot of character. It starts off feeling a little unfair but once you get your head around how to play it becomes more challenging than unfair. This one is a little hidden gem. Good stuff 🎱 |
| May 16 20:58:13 | 8m 11s | Penguins can't fly | ♥ 1 | Well if that isn't the cutest unconscious penguin I ever did see. This is one of those simple concept that's really hard to master. Kinda like a flappy bird. The cute graphics really fit and the audio was good too. Not really got anything negative to say. It's executed really well. Good stuff 🎱 |
