May 3 02:24:05 Eye of Skozrack ♥ 1 Nice theme, really liked the mood and the sound effects. However for me this game alternated between fun and frustrating. Kinda like playing golf games it was fun when I picked the right angle and power, frustrating otherwise. Visual indication of direction and power level (other than max) would have been very helpful.
May 3 02:40:49 16m 44s The Hunt for the Plastic Bag ♥ 0 It starts out well with some easy to get upgrades, but after that it does feel a bit grindy and agree with what others have said that the balance between getting the small, plentiful items vs just diving seems off (ended up mostly just diving for points). I do like the sonar/flashlight mechanic though. It actually feels like you're diving in the deeps with limited information.
May 3 02:50:20 9m 31s Dino Digger ♥ 1 Nice puzzle game, although I'm still a little unsure about the tile movement rules (were there some bugs?).
May 3 02:56:26 6m 06s Metagalactic ♥ 3 Nice game, biggest gripe is my partner complained whenever the alarm was going off and I had to get headphones.
May 3 02:58:03 1m 37s Work In Progress ♥ 0 Still doesn't seem to be working. :(
May 3 03:05:55 7m 52s Magmatic Descent ♥ 1 Interesting game. The lava time pressure really pushes you to move quickly. Also agree with others that combining the move/dig action would help, especially considering how punishing the levels are and how fast you need to move. Would have been nice to have an easier level or two up front to experiment and learn the game play, but maybe that's the point?
May 3 10:58:59 7h 53m Sinking Feeling ♥ 0 Took a little while to get a hang of the controls and read the dials but after after dying a few times I was able to avoid and/or shoot the objects in the deep well enough while I sank. Progressively introducing the controls or providing more feedback (like sounds) to make it clear what was happening (easy to miss what was going on in the dials) would be helpful. After learning the controls it was fun to drive the sub around, had there been a clear objective would have kept playing much longer.
May 6 00:33:13 61h 34m Hook, Line, Key ♥ 1 Really nice game. Controls were intuitive. The mood and game play were both laid back and relaxing. The relaxing piano music also helped with the mood. Liked the ending too. My only (small) complaint is the tutorial was kinda long, and I missed something in the instructions and had to play it again to figure out what I was doing wrong. Keep up the good work!
May 6 00:57:27 24m 14s Dwarven Depths ♥ 0 Really nice game. Would happily play more levels. The mechanics were easy to use and the voice over and story line added nicely to the mood. I thought the level of prompting made it on the easy side, but that's probably a good thing for a game jam. I did struggle at first though because I didn't see the key and thought maybe I was doing something wrong and died a few times before figuring it out.
May 6 01:20:22 22m 55s Age of Dwarves ♥ 1 Nice theme, nice mood, nice music, very polished. Liked how new resources, buildings, and other elements were introduced progressively.
May 6 01:43:19 22m 57s GA GAME ME ♥ 1 I really enjoyed all parts of this. Well done.
May 6 01:54:50 11m 31s Way Down We Go ♥ 1 Liked the music, the sound effects, and the humor. I think I collected all 6 trophies, but I'm not sure if I actually did everything.
May 6 02:06:17 11m 27s Autumn Hike ♥ 3 A fun little game. I especially enjoyed the Undertale like graphics, text, the humor, and the zoom in/out animation.
May 6 02:28:32 22m 15s Abyssonaut ♥ 1 Phenomenal graphics, sound, mood, and gameplay. Enjoyed the twist. Beat it on my 4th or 5th time and the final ascent was intense. Only change I wanted was different keyboard controls. Found e + x awkward to switch between and also wanted the up arrow to do jump/jetpack.
May 6 03:11:28 42m 56s Snoopin Around ♥ 1 Not much here, but seems like it could be a foundation from which to build a puzzle type game with multiple locations and items you have to go back and forth between.
May 7 20:55:34 41h 44m Deeper Into Technical Problems ♥ 2 Fun game that reminded me many old console breakout style games. Addicting to want to play again to just go a little further next time. I did notice that occasionally bumping into things made me not die, but it seemed ok and was kinda nice to not die. :) Lots of potential for further powerups or terrain types, special bonus levels, starting out easier (or having an easy mode), etc... Would play more.
May 8 01:09:39 4h 14m MENACING MINER ♥ 0 Nice, fun game!
May 8 01:17:41 8m 02s Captain on the Bridge ♥ 1 Was a little hard to figure out at first, but once I did it was straightforward. I would definitely play an expanded version of this.
May 8 01:29:20 11m 39s The shaft ♥ 0 Nice graphics and sound. I like the concept of breakout with powerups. A little hard to direct the balls and little slow because of it - especially at the end of levels where there weren't many blocks left to hit.
