| Oct 11 20:12:14 | Dear Ghost | ♥ 2 | the sound design was so cute: i love the ghostly sounds when pressing buttons and the dialogue boops and the raccoon noise when you pass the raccoon the music is so precious too! the art is really good, the character sprites are very cute! here's some critique: i think the fade transition that happens, i.e when pressing settings or clicking through the letter, could go faster, because it felt kind of soporific it seems like the text speed setting doesn't do anything unless you put it all the way to the right, in which case it shows all the text immediately; I would've preferred to be able to set the text speed faster but not all presented upon being shown the next dialogue sometimes i felt a bit lost in the dialogue; like when the husband says "if you can show me proof" - what proof? and something about "I see you have that photo of my wife and our kids" - i was like, i do? i don't see anything like that in my inventory? and then when he was like "how did you find this?" and you're like "she wanted me to show you this" or something like that, I was like, what item are they talking about? lol. some strange phrasings I noticed: "I'm here because I noticed something missing from your relationship with your mother" (I think if someone said that to me I'd be pretty offended and not want to continue talking lol) and "I saw your her ghost" some confusions: there's a strange sorting bug: when my character is all the way down at the bottom of the map, the husband and the son are on the wrong sorting layer (i.e. the husband seems to be under the tent) also i wasn't able to get to the end because the white-haired daughter needed another item (which I couldn't figure out what since the dialogue is clipped in half) even though I'm like 99.5% sure I'd gotten all the items? I didn't notice the "You can get duplicate items by exiting and re-entering the house" bug - maybe that got fixed? in conclusion i wish that the characters were more specific when referring to items, so i knew what item each character wanted from me before i left the conversation; i left each conversation getting a good vibe check from them regarding how they felt about the ghost (i.e. mom was cold and caring, i sacrificed a lot for my wife's dreams) which made them feel 3d, but i couldn't remember which item they wanted, which resulted in feeling like i didn't have a clear goal throughout the game, just to pick up as many orange outlined items as possible. i think this was super good for being made in 3 days, i love the creepy/cute vibes it gives off and it was actually pretty relaxing and enjoyable to play despite it being about exorcism! and I always love a good family drama, so thank you for the tea 🍵 if you ever make another version of this i'd love to play and see the end! | |
| Oct 11 20:21:23 | 9m 09s | emoceans | ♥ 1 | This was so super cute and simple, ty! i loved it!! and the title is sooooo good haha. smhing at myself for not having had the idea too, it's such a refreshing new addition to the silly physics games genre :) it was bug free, cute, short, I mean, I don't think you could've made a better jam game ToT congrats and hope to see more from you in the future~ |
| Oct 11 20:34:01 | 12m 38s | Perhaps a Friend? | ♥ 1 | Oh my, well this was certainly fun in a really uncanny sort of way. Definitely high marks on theme and innovation haha. I love the ability to build my own robot thing? And the dialogue was super funny. I agree with some of the above though that the moving camera eventually made it too unpleasant for me to want to continue - it definitely upped the difficulty (good!) but made me nauseous as well. Keep making incredibly weird stuff, the world needs more of it! |
| Oct 11 21:02:49 | 28m 48s | Timmy's Very Bad School Day | ♥ 5 | lmao the music and THE DIALOGUE The fact that like EDM chillstep (?) is playing in the background is soooo funny to me - I mean, it's good EDM, don't get me wrong, I've just never seen a JRPG with EDM before. And the battle music - it's super good, period. And the final song with the school bell and the guitar is sooooo lit. the insult minigame is genuinely so fun, and at the perfect difficulty level. it's kind of like a mix of.... guitar hero and danganronpa class trials? Actually, I have no idea how to describe it - it felt pretty original, which I love! i feel like y'all must've built off some engine or existing code because there's a lot of JRPG features (tool tips, dialogue system, battle system, health system, good player and camera movement) in addition to a ton of content, so much so that i can't imagine y'all could've coded all that in 3 days - it's really awesome! it legit feels like an RPG vs a jam game because f that. the writing is SO FUNNY. the low effort grammar makes things x1000 funnier. "Image Not Found" has been found - I don't even know what to say 💀 the fact that you can regain health by eating from the trash 💀 i can't imagine what the dev process for the story must've been - y'all must've been laughing your asses off making it. some critique: it'd be nice to be able to select buttons like Insult / Cry via keyboard since every other control is through keyboard too it'd also be cool to have a tutorial for how the battle mechanics like insulting work - i failed the first time when insulting the teacher because I didn't know what to do - definitely out of scope for a game jam, but maybe for the future! the dialogue boops when students talk feels like it's scraping my ears which makes for an unpleasant experience at one point a possible insult is "you're more out of place than gteve" - I got confused what that meant because I hadn't talked to Gteve yet - maybe that should only be shown if you've talked to Gteve. anyways this is SUCH a great entry. This is just such a trollish game and I love it. If you continue it I'm sure it'll get more plays than zero three weeks from now 💀 I'd def it again! |
| Oct 11 22:05:42 | 1h 02m | Radish Kid Ascension | ♥ 2 | This is an incredibly solid entry! I love the little radish character and the game mechanic :) It's amazingly bug free and feels super polished. Congrats on your first entry being so solid. Really glad you added WASD in addition to middle click for panning btw since I can't middle click on my trackpad :) I also think I encountered a bug? [https://imgur.com/a/fOcCvms](https://imgur.com/a/fOcCvms) even though the earthquake line was above my structure, it stayed intact? Also my radish pal wasn't able to ascend even though there's a clear path up. Nonetheless congrats, you two should be proud! |
| Oct 11 22:23:47 | 18m 05s | Oh, Hello? | ♥ 1 | pretty funny lmao, nice original concept |
| Oct 11 22:28:10 | 4m 23s | Where's My Tripod? | ♥ 1 | This was a really nice game. I love the description - it's true, this jam is full of horror games, this was a great break from those :) So relaxing. I love the addition of coughs and hiccups - gave me just enough anxiety so that it wasn't a complete snooze fest. I love that I get to see my rating at the end - I'm a Hobbyist, that checks out! :) |
| Oct 11 22:42:15 | 14m 05s | The Swirl | ♥ 4 | Oooh, I just love the art, so avant garde. Ugh, it's so inspiring. I might just have to include more textures in my art too now. The writing is so noir, I can literally hear the swoon of detectives in old b&w movies in the writing <3 And the music is soooo good, especially when Swirl comes on?! One thing I wished for was an inventory so I could see all the items I'd found. I also wished that certain options like Examine drawer were not shown if they didn't have anything new to say (i.e. id clicked them before, then when I click them again, they show the same dialogue) Anyways, you really nailed this one, esp on art/audio/story! Good job :) |
| Oct 11 22:48:47 | 6m 32s | Cannot Wake Up | ♥ 1 | very interesting concept and I definitely felt sleepy yet scared (?) while playing it so I think you emulated the having-a-bad-dream feeling well. The circus and phone noises are super effective in adding creepiness and distraction. |
| Oct 11 23:06:34 | 17m 47s | The Blue Bedroom | ♥ 1 | that was really good :) I love reading about Van Gogh or other famous painters, and Van Gogh's story especially is very unique considering how he lived his life without fame to the very end. It's so refreshing to see a historical entry amidst many fictional ones in LD! it felt like an interactive art exhibit. the scare at the end with the blurred face was very powerful. thanks for teaching me a bit about history while also showing me so many of Gogh's beautiful works. |
| Oct 11 23:52:17 | 45m 43s | Everything is Fine | ♥ 5 | Woah, the audio was incredibly crisp. It set a whole new bar for audio in game jam games. I'm curious about the mic and audio editor you guys used. Very powerful stuff too, story and visuals wise. Thank you for sharing! |
| Oct 12 00:11:16 | 18m 59s | Lizzie's Lucky Potion Shop | ♥ 2 | It was so cute! I love the idea of being a lil witch making potions. It reminds me of the Steam game, Potion Craft. Love it. I think it'd be so nice to play for a long time if it had music. |
| Oct 12 00:22:42 | 11m 26s | Emily vs the Unstable Creatures | ♥ 1 | very cute! <3 loved the music and art. |
| Oct 12 00:28:59 | 6m 17s | the cards we're dealt | ♥ 2 | doesnt work on mac because I think you need to notarize it? idk :/ it also doesn't work on my chrome or firefox, but it looks really beautiful! |
| Oct 12 17:13:42 | 16h 44m | Hunger Of The Elder Slime | ♥ 3 | This is amazing <3 I think it's gotta be one of my favorite entries. I'm a sucker for cute, relaxing games and this just matches that to a T. The pixel art is so cute. This was definitely one of the entries I spent the most time on because it's sooooo addicting and relaxing HAHA. Love the boba bear!!! :)) The only bug I found was that I couldn't click sugar cubes if they were under certain structures (I forgot which ones). I think this would do numbers on mobile. Congrats on such a cute game!! |
| Oct 12 17:33:52 | 20m 10s | LCD DREAM ESCALATOR | ♥ 3 | This was just incredible, the music was awesome, the color schemes were great, I felt like I was transported to ten years ago when silent exploration games were a thing; I also love how the controls are taught to you in the beginning, how their UI won't disappear until you've done the specific input. Also the "Lucid Dare" pamphlet thing is such a nice aesthetic touch and guide. I miss LSD Dream Emulator now, maybe I should boot it up haha. Great job!! :) |
| Oct 12 20:19:33 | 2h 45m | SEXY BOOBY 95 | ♥ 1 | Maybe it's because I'm immature but I found this hilarious :) Great job, I loved it! |
| Oct 12 20:39:51 | 20m 18s | A Long Way Home | ♥ 1 | Really fun! Reminded me of Sea of Thieves. I like Victor, he's funny. Overall a very relaxing bug-free game. Btw, I think the rules state if you didn't make the audio within the 3 days you omit Audio from your rankings. |
| Oct 12 22:19:33 | 1h 39m | Crazy Cauldron | ♥ 1 | This was really cute, I loved the art and the little "yes" "no" sounds :) I wished there was a more interactive tutorial than info-dumping all the controls because I was confused my first playthrough - however, after the second, I got the hang of it and it's genuinely super fun :) The characters are quirky and color-matching had me feeling like some interior designer examining Pantones. All in all good work!! |
