That was unexpected that you can run away stepping on empty brown hex. 2. Sometimes you have negative value of food and can gain more food to continue the game. 3. It was confusing that tutorial asks you to buy apples and arrows but you can buy only one of them in one turn. 4. Tutorial messages remain on screen after completion. Good entry! |
| May 13 10:14:34 | 35m 28s | Stories in the Stars | ♥ 1 | Emotional and atmospheric performance! Pretty catchy story messages. Some remarks: 1. Story message at the beginning disappeared too quickly. Expectation: more time to read or pressing a key to continue. 2. Hint once showed down direction when character was near bottom of space. 3. Looks like story message on last constellation is skipped before ending. Good entry! |
| May 13 12:45:09 | 2h 30m | Divey (VR Only) | ♥ 0 | Interesting experience! Submarine controller feels cool. Mask adds some immersion. Oculus Quest 2 with Air Link here. Some remarks: 1. Game feels pretty empty and hard to navigate underwater. 2. Sometimes battery in hand just disappears but charge indicator is still visible. 3. It is hard to open doors while carrying two batteries. 4. Switch between two moving modes underwater sometimes confuses: you try to swim but nothing happens because you've touched ground. Hope this will be helpful. Cool entry! |
| May 14 08:56:58 | 20h 11m | Scuffed Runner Game | ♥ 0 | Nice atmosphere and sense of speed! Some remarks: 1. Cursor disappeared on first run so there was no possibility to start the game. 2. Lines in the distance flicker, looks like game lacks of anti-aliasing. 3. Timer freezes on 0s. Hope this will help. Nice entry! |
| May 14 09:05:10 | 8m 12s | Kaibuturan | ♥ 2 | Nice short game. Pleasant music. Some remarks: 1. Game lags sometimes. 4K display here. 2. Game lacks of duration and variability. Expectation: at least one chance to use every mechanic, e.g. one more room with enemies to use healing before entering it. Keep going! |
| May 14 09:49:26 | 44m 16s | Malleus Pistrium | ♥ 1 | Nice boss fight game! Pretty fun to play. Some remarks: 1. Boss fight feels monotonous and too long. Expectation: more damage to boss or/and more different boss attacks on the first half of fight. 2. Game lacks of lore introduction so music is turn away of gameplay. 3. Fight continued when boss lost all the health. Looks like health bar has zero length on little amount of health. 4. This might be intendent, but jumping feels irresponsive sometimes.

| May 16 15:26:14 | 53h 09m | WhiteSnow | ♥ 2 | Interesting and fun concept! Pleasant graphics and sound effects. Pretty hard to play and get prepared for the next level, so this forces you to find working tactics. Some remarks: 1. It was slightly confusing that weapon shots upper than cursor is. Expectation: character shoots right in direction to cursor. 2. Character gets stuck in obstacles when you try to move near them. Expectation: character slides like enemies do. 3. Game has micro-freezes. Perhaps this is affected by 4K display. 4. Resources consuming bullets confused, sometimes this forces you to run from one side of level to another to hit enemies. Expectation: bullets can fly through resources. 5. Game lacks of indication of what healing does in shop. Expectation: game indicates of gnomes' health. Hope this remarks will be helpful! Good job! |
| May 16 15:38:59 | 12m 45s | Minigun Miner | ♥ 0 | Nice concept! Pleasant collisions. Sound effects provide sufficient feedback. Some remarks: 1. [F] key does nothing in main menu in Windows version. Expectation: [F] key toggles fullscreen mode as mentioned. 2. This might be intendent. but minigun feels too strong: it pushed you back to top too much so you need to fall down longer. Expectation: minigun pushed you back with less power. Hope this will be helpful. Nice entry! |
| May 16 16:06:38 | 27m 39s | Cosmonoid | ♥ 1 | Interesting and fun to play concept! Pleasant and atmospheric music and sound effects. Nice abstract graphics. Cool and slightly hard to control physics. Reminds me of Swarm game for VR. Some remarks: 1.

That was more comfortable to play after mouse inversion. Hope this remarks will be helpful. Cool entry! |

| May 18 10:17:36 | 40h 10m | The Burden | ♥ 0 | Atmospheric and stylish graphics and audio! Pretty simple gameplay but atmosphere and animations make it interesting to play. Some remarks: 1. Sometimes game lacks of feedback on why nothing happens after clicking on items, e.g. clicking on diary at the beginning. Expectation: cursor or text indicate that it is too early to click on item. 2. Text on TV disappears too quickly, so it is hard to read it. Expectation: more time to read or clicking to continue. 3.

| May 18 15:28:00 | 1h 23m | Mindy's Mind | ♥ 1 | Pleasant and atmospheric art! Nice animations. Interesting story messages. Some remarks on Gamejam release: 1. 4shared hosting was time-consuming.

Expectation: sounds used to give feedback on actions and music supports mood and atmosphere. 3. Sometimes enemies hit you at the distance after you get hit while jumping on them. Expectation: enemies hit you only visually touching you. 4. Background image is centered without stretching the screen, so background is mostly black. 4K display here. Expectation: background is stretched to screen. 2 is partially fixed with music added to the game, 4 is fixed and looks like 3 is fixed in V6. Hope this remarks will be helpful. Good entry! |
