Apr 26 04:39:24 Jamie's Jam ♥ 1 I really liked the music and the animation of the pipes turning were really smooth.
Apr 26 04:47:03 7m 39s Gulp! ♥ 1 If you are having trouble with the arrow keys moving the screen down to play this, try pressing CTRL + '-' to shrink the page down til you remove the vertical scroll bar. Other than that issue this game was very good. I think this take on the theme is unlikely to be used by anyone else. Kudos!
Apr 26 05:06:58 19m 55s The little abnormality ♥ 2 I don't know what I just played but I love it. Controls are difficult and there are collision issues, but the game is short enough that I powered through. The artstyle and weirdness levels are through the roof!
Apr 26 05:25:00 18m 02s Exiled ♥ 1 Art style was great and music was very nice.
Apr 26 05:46:14 21m 14s Scatter Gold ♥ 1 Really nice little platformer. Some of the jumps were a little blind, ie jumped down and landed on top of a missile. Music and sound effects were nice and the physics of the boxes were really interesting.
Apr 26 22:12:18 16h 26m Dig Deeper ♥ 1 Having the lava to force the player to make quick decisions was a good idea. Definitely needs that smaller aspect ratio. It looks like you have the canvas width set to 100% in-line. You can set that to a flat width inline or with a bit of javascript: ``` <script> window.onLoad(function(){ document.getElementById('main-canvas').width = '200px'; }) </script> ``` Something like that anyways.
Apr 26 22:35:44 23m 26s Embark ♥ 1 I wanted to get all the upgrades but it started crashing a lot at around depth 50. That was well past the time I really oughta have played the game though so I can't fault it much for that. Graphics and music are great. I was thinking in the beginning that some sound on collision would be good but then I saw how many balls I got and think not putting that in is probably for the best :P. Great game!
Apr 27 00:03:26 1h 27m Crazy Fishing ♥ 0 Fun little game. I got to like ~60 I forgot the final number. Only complaint is that when you get pretty deep the green bottles start to be hard to see compared to the dark blue background. Maybe that is intended to add more difficulty though. I particularly liked the animation on the waves at the beginning.
Apr 27 05:41:24 5h 37m Deep in the Graveyard ♥ 1 I really like the chess aspect of this. It reminds of another old roguelike that pretty much has you leveling up as different chess pieces and all the enemies are chess pieces as well. I think with a little tutorial when each enemy shows up and a couple power ups this would be a great mobile game. Great job!
Apr 27 05:55:53 14m 29s Drilling With Dice ♥ 0 I think the clicking and dragging is neat but it gets very tiresome. Since there is only really one available slot at any given time (Whatever the current phase it, left most open slot) being able to click dice to have it just go to that open slot would have been nicer. If you misplaced a die you could just click it to have it go back to hand. That being said I didn't feel like there was much choice in the game. You roll the dice and hope to get pairs and stick what you can in, then you hope to roll high numbers and slot those in. I feel the extra failure chance on top of that means that my actions didn't feel like they had much weight. I also had the game crash when I accidentally let go of my drag in the wrong spot and then got a browser alert. All that being said the mechanics are present to make a good game. The sound of the dice and the little spinning animation is really nice. It does feel satisfying when you do slot in a dice. And the music was pretty good.
Apr 27 22:39:55 16h 44m Knee Deep in Magma ♥ 1 Fun platformer! As others have said a little bit of music would have made a big difference. If you've never done music for a jam before I recommend beepbox.co, It is fairly simple to put down a few bars and get it to sound passable in just a few minutes and exports to mp3 for easy insertion into a game. It goes well with the chiptune sound effects you already got in. Some of the jumps were pretty precise later on in the levels but overall making a short game a little harder is a good way to add some extra play time so it isn't that bad. The character model is great and overall very fun game.
Apr 28 04:05:53 5h 25m Chuck Yeager's Jet Janitor ♥ 1 My favorite bit was the helicopter having booster jets. Game is really fun as well. Love the attention to detail with the cutscenes.
Apr 28 04:23:47 17m 54s Wormhole Adventurer ♥ 1 Think I may have found a bug. I entered a wormhole with my last scrap of fuel, but luckily an enemy was there. Killed him and got 5 more fuel, but when I entered the next wormhole it said I ran out of fuel. I like the idea that the runs are seeded so that you could potentially play one seed a bunch to explore more and more of that particular universe.
Apr 28 04:33:55 10m 08s Dice Explorer ♥ 2 I think the main thing this needs is powerups on the sides of the map to encourage the player to do something other than B-line the exit. Time is tough though. Very good game though! The ambient music was nice and the gameplay was pretty straight forward (didn't even go through the tutorial and I managed to get out). The aspect of building your own way through an unexplored cave reminds me of a card game called Saboteur. Very different gameplay but had that same sort of vibe to it.
Apr 29 02:59:14 22h 25m Mineshaft ♥ 1 This is super cool. The mechanics really remind me of a board game called Thebes which is an archaeology game where you have to push your luck pulling either dirt tiles or treasure tiles from a bag. If you've not played it you should check it out. Cards look really clean and nice, the only thing I'd suggest functionality wise is a way to zoom in on the cards. Had to Zoom in quite a bit to see what was written on the cards on the left, and had no way to see what was on the cards in my hand (unless I was missing the way to do that). Great stuff!
Apr 29 22:48:23 19h 49m Grabble Story ♥ 1 Everything is really nice! My only complaint is the crane movement sound, but that is something that can be fixed easily with just an option to mute SFX or a different sound for it. Everything else is great. Played all the way to the end. I especially like the extra effort put into the idle chatter that happens when you return to the top. That did not need to be in there but adds a great deal of character and polish to this. Amazing job!
May 3 18:33:54 91h 45m Dig Deep Get Gold ♥ 1 Great Job! For being such a simple game it really does get you into that flow state that rhythm games tend to pursue.
