| Oct 5 06:27:38 | Eye See you | ♥ 3 | Fun experience and great graphics, although a little confusing to understand at first, a tutorial level would be a great help to new players. If you expand on this game further I'd recommend you add some different enemy AI to really allow the player to experiment with their arsenal of weapons. Super cool aesthetics and sound design, and a solid jam game :D | |
| Oct 5 06:35:52 | 8m 14s | The Swirl | ♥ 4 | Fantastic play on the classic detective stereotype mixed with the theme. I'm usually not one for dialogue games but this one kept me captivated with it's great writing, artwork and sound design. A really solid entry, good job :D |
| Oct 5 07:04:41 | 28m 49s | Mint | ♥ 3 | One of the most attractive games I've played so far, and great use of 2D lighting. Walking up those glass corridors was one of the most visually stunning things I've seen in an indie project in a while, and the doors were really well designed. If you do continue this I'd recommend adding a waypoint marker on the edge of the screen to guide the player, as the ship is quite large and the no-gravity situations made it a bit difficult to manoeuvre. Really well done on all parts and congrats to the entire team on making such a polished game in only 72 hours. |
| Oct 5 07:59:20 | 54m 39s | Unstable Stick | ♥ 1 | fun game but so incredibly hard, somebody please post a picture of the end haha |
| Oct 5 08:05:27 | 6m 07s | Crystal Town | ♥ 2 | Awesome game and I'm glad you were able to successfully funnel your creative vision into this game in such a short time. Great stuff :D |
| Oct 5 08:53:53 | 48m 26s | My First Nuclear Manuela | ♥ 1 | Loved the graphics and sound design, with the music being the best i've heard in a game this jam. However the game mechanics were a little confusing and immediately puts the player in the deep end (which may be on purpose). If each panel was introduced slowly then the progression would be comfortable and could lead to a slow stress build up of managing more and more panels overtime. Super good jam entry, feels very polished. :D |
| Oct 5 09:26:16 | 32m 23s | Stable Table | ♥ 2 | I like the concept! I have an idea that you could replace the Q and E presses with a quicktime button that if accurate enough will freeze all rigidbodies that have already landed to add a bit more user input. The graphics are polished and don't feel out of place. Great stuff! :D |
| Oct 5 10:32:08 | 1h 05m | Rook Bishop Knight | ♥ 1 | As an occasional chess player this was a great brain exercise, managed to get perfect score on all levels. Loved everything but the incorporation of the theme was lacking a little. Great stuff and one of the better games I've played this jam :D |
| Oct 5 10:37:00 | 4m 52s | Outstanding Acaipowered Spaceship | ♥ 2 | Super impressive work for a compo game, great retro aesthetic and gameplay. Nice job 😄 |
| Oct 5 10:44:53 | 7m 53s | Riot City | ♥ 1 | Great game with great aesthetics. Only struggle was finding the deploy button, maybe give it a white outline and animate it to make it more visible? |
| Oct 5 11:44:07 | 59m 14s | Ninja Mindness | ♥ 5 | Really cool game! Loved the art and effects. As others have said a bit of polish would work nicely but apart from that a really good concept. (Btw you should change the itch.io link type from "source code" to "microsoft windows") |
| Oct 7 00:21:06 | 36h 36m | Path of the Pogo | ♥ 2 | Graphics, audio and humor done perfectly. Difficult but engaging. Good job and solid jam game :) |
| Oct 8 13:33:32 | 37h 12m | uns(table) | ♥ 2 | Probably the largest team size I've ever seen 😅. Enjoyable experience that definitely shows the entire team's contributions and hard work well, I have almost no issues with this game and was a solid jam experience 😃 |
| Oct 8 13:43:25 | 9m 53s | Unstable Tower | ♥ 1 | Originally played it alone but I enjoyed the concept enough to get my sister to play as well. The concept is original and could definitely be expanded on into a full game. I think that instead of the rooms just appearing, make them spawn on the right side of the screen out of view and have the camera move right, killing the other player when they go too far left, this will make it feel a bit more seamless and ensure smooth game flow. Really liked this game and encourage you to keep working on it. Great entry 😄 |
| Oct 8 14:14:18 | 30m 53s | ROBOKILL | ♥ 2 | really REALLY good game, one of my favourites this jam 100%, but their are some issues with the download process that possibly explains the low amount of ratings. Here are my suggestions: ### REMOVE THE DONATION OPTION For game jams it is typically a good idea to not ask for donations when downloading. It's a bit out of pocket in a game jam setting and can confuse users into thinking the game costs money. I'd recommend you change this setting on itch.io. ### VIRUS ISSUE I got a virus detection during the download and had to disable my firewall the entire time I played otherwise the game would get deleted by windows defender. I was super interested in this game and decided to disable it, any other game and I would have given up playing before I even downloaded it. **SOLVE THIS ASAP!!!** ### NO AUDIO ISSUE Unless I missed it I could not find any audio volume settings, not a massive issue but I'd recommend you add it. I apologize if the review sounds harsh but this is honestly one of the best games I've played this jam and just want to help you to get the amount of ratings you deserve. Keep it up! 😄 |
| Oct 8 14:23:10 | 8m 52s | Atomic Rock Paper Scissors | ♥ 2 | fantastic concept, with a fantastic execution. It isn't often you get both of those in a game jam. Great graphics, sound design, gameplay, and really cool custom engine. Great work 😄 |
| Oct 8 14:25:50 | 2m 40s | Unstable Genius | ♥ 1 | Super unique way to make a game, loved it. Great work :D |
| Oct 10 06:00:56 | 39h 35m | Manicat | ♥ 1 | Best advertisements this jam. Good game, made me question my beliefs |
| Oct 11 00:32:44 | 18h 31m | The Last Light | ♥ 1 | Good concept but a bit confusing, maybe a better explanation of the main mechanic at the start of the game would be helpful. Excited to see where this game goes in the future. :D |
| Oct 11 00:37:03 | 4m 19s | Boomsheep | ♥ 4 | A balanced and immersive experience, cute graphics and good audio as well. I felt the difficulty curve was in a good spot based on the style of the game. Overall good stuff, great entry. :D |
| Oct 13 10:45:07 | 58h 08m | Wobble Waddle! | ♥ 2 | Loved it. Graphics reminded me of old PSP game LocoRoco. Awesome entry! :D |
| Oct 13 10:54:52 | 9m 45s | Space-Fix-Attack | ♥ 1 | Super cool stuff! Only problems I had was that the mouse input felt delayed or smoothed out, and I didn't feel like I had much control over it. Maybe some more enemies and potentially switch to a top down view with more freedom on the X and Y and it would be a really solid experience. Great stuff for only 72 hours though, good entry :D |
