| Apr 28 11:37:27 | Corporate Mole | ♥ 1 | That was hilarious. There's definitely a great deal of work that went into polishing. I was surprised by how sleek the models and animations looked, especially for a 3D game. The lighthearted, funny writing was the icing on top. Awesome job ! | |
| Apr 28 11:47:44 | 10m 17s | Vile Things | ♥ 1 | Real question : how many frames on these animations ? They look incredible ! The sprites themselves are really cool too. Gameplay reminded me of Hollow Knight, though it was a bit on the easier side. Pretty polished submission, good job ! |
| Apr 28 12:54:55 | 1h 07m | Mole Hole | ♥ 1 | This is amazing. I'm really, really fond of the visuals here. The boss sprites, the intro art, the fight animations, the fading level transitions, all the little effects, everything just feels so polished. Gameplay is simple but dynamic and, overall, pretty damn effective, the patterns of the three bosses are all fun to learn and fight against. Awesome work ! |
| Apr 28 13:35:59 | 41m 04s | Le bateau ivre | ♥ 2 | Jolie expérience ! J'aime beaucoup ton art, et le côté un peu "surréaliste". |
| Apr 28 14:37:14 | 1h 01m | An Eggsellent Escape | ♥ 1 | Pretty cool ! There is definitely a lot of work here, both art and gameplay-wise. Levels are varied and fun. I liked the eerie atmosphere of the beginning, even though the voices of the later levels made it a bit more silly. Only bug I found was that the screen would get stuck when restarting after finishing once (which isn't too much of a problem, since it only seems to happen after a first playthrough :p). |
| Apr 28 15:21:39 | 44m 25s | I Stole a Wizard's Sack and All I Got Was This Lousy Infinite Pocket Universe | ♥ 1 | A really unique, innovative take on the theme. And not only is the core idea incredibly clever, everything else just further improves on the experience : the fun level design, the witty writing, the engaging music, the whimsical, lighthearted atmosphere. All of it just screams polish and personnality. Great work on this little gem. If you ever decide to make it a full, standalone game, i'd play the hell out of it. |
| Apr 28 15:58:13 | 36m 34s | Fire in the hole! | ♥ 1 | Cool idea ! I like your take on the theme. You could definitely try to make a post-jam, multiplayer version, it has a lot of potential. |
| Apr 29 22:48:39 | 30h 50m | Her Bedtime Stories | ♥ 1 | Great work on setting up the eerie, disturbing atmosphere. The unsettling audio and dreamlike art mix really well, and a lot of work has definitely been done on polishing everything. Even the text animations are gorgeous. And as others have already mentionned, you deserve even more respect for trying to create something that deals with this kind of touchy subject. Using the mechanics as a way to tell the story through small interactions is a really powerful tool, and I kind of like what you tried to do in this area (i.e the high "fighting off" countdown to express the protagonist's apparent helplessness, drawing the curved line to represent the unproperly set boundaries...), but my only gripe is that the execution could have been a bit more impactful, as there was a lot of potential here. Overall, it remains a well made, and refreshingly meaningful submission. Good job. |
| May 1 15:14:36 | 40h 25m | ATOM | ♥ 1 | Really interesting idea. Controls and physics were a bit hard to master, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes surprisingly fun. The levels are all great and well-designed, and the progressive introduction of new mechanics is perfect makes a perfect difficulty flow. There were a few bugs there and there (i.e some objects getting out of the map then coming back again), but overall, a solid puzzle game concept. My only real gripe is that I hardly see the relation to the theme, but you already mentionned that in the description. Still, I encourage you to keep working on it and make it a standalone game, as this has a lot of potential ! |
| May 1 15:36:02 | 21m 26s | Carpet Flea | ♥ 3 | Vraiment génial ! Un concept réutilisant des mécaniques très simples mais super bien exécuté, avec levels intelligemment conçus. Le tout se mêle de manière très élégante, c'est intense, et surtout fun ! Et on voit que vous avez bien prit le temps de bien tout polir. Y'a énormément d'effort sur la direction artistique, les sprites, les animations, les backgrounds, mais aussi les musiques et le sound design. Tout ajoute énormément à l'expérience. Sérieusement, bien joué à vous ! |
| May 1 15:50:30 | 14m 28s | Dice Explorer | ♥ 1 | Cool twist on the dungeon crawling genre ! The game has a nice traditional roguelike feeling, and I really like the concept of building your own road. Combat was a bit rough though, maybe adding a bit more diversity to the way you use dices in it could further improve it ? |
| May 1 19:48:13 | 3h 57m | 6 Feet Under | ♥ 3 | Really fun take on the theme, built around a pretty cool mechanic. Controls are a bit hard to get into, but oh so satisfying when you get the hang of it. It's gorgeous, extremely well polished, and entertaining. Good job ! |
| May 1 20:51:52 | 1h 03m | Deeper and Deeper Mining Operations ltd. | ♥ 1 | A by-the-book approach to the theme, but it's quite fun and challenging. I like the way it plays, the controls are simple but the flow is pretty intense. Though I found it a bit hard to distinguish between all the different materials/ores. |
| May 1 21:02:13 | 10m 21s | Not So Grimm | ♥ 1 | Plutôt cool ! L'atmosphère onirique est très réussie. J'aime beaucoup le mix de 3D et de sprites crayonnés, ça rend super bien. Et les petites créatures sont absolument adorables, même si j'ai eu un peu de mal à les trouver. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas plus d'interaction à avoir avec elles, il y avait pas mal de potentiel à ce niveau là. |
| May 2 19:32:36 | 22h 30m | Hole Down | ♥ 2 | Gameplay was extremely confusing, and hard to figure out without guidance. And that is literally the only negative part I can think of, because everything else is just absolutely awesome ! The visuals, the animations, the intro, the music and sound design are all astounding, and the level of polish and work you've put into this is just on another level. It's incredible you managed to make something look and feel this good during the timeframe; that's the level of quality you'd expect from a released, standalone indie game, not a jam submission. Seriously, well done ! |
| May 2 20:18:29 | 45m 53s | Mind Depths LD 48 | ♥ 1 | Bonne atmosphère, et c'est renforcé par la musique et les sprites qui donnent vraiment bien le ton, même si je trouve que la transition entre les différents "stages" d'hallucinations aurait pu être un peu plus progressive pour un effet encore plus perturbant. Peut-être en rajoutant un peu plus de texte ou en diversifiant les différentes actions et en sombrant plus lentement. J'étais un peu confus par la fin, mais je suppose que le perso se jette par la fenêtre en pensant s'échapper ? En tout cas, ça reste très cool, on voit beaucoup l'inspiration Yume Nikki. Et l'interprétation du thème est sacrément intéressante. Joli travail ! |
| May 3 01:53:08 | 5h 34m | Submerged | ♥ 1 | It's surprisingly relaxing, and this atmosphere is further amplified by the calm, chill music and smooth movement (the latter feels great, btw). Managing your sources of light as it keeps getting darker is a pretty interesting concept, well done ! |
