| Oct 8 18:47:02 | Buggy the Bunny | ♥ 2 | Cool game idea! I like how it goes back and forth with being creepy and cute lol Sometimes the physics are a bit funky but it works well overall. | |
| Oct 9 06:49:50 | 12h 02m | Shattered Star Realms | ♥ 1 | I think I won, but I'm not really sure how? I set up a few planets with some buildings and then let a couple turns run by and then I was back in the menu. I think I get what was going on for the most part, but I thought that I had to control a fleet on the screen and send them to different planets to conquer them or something and I don't think that's what was happening at all. I get that its also pretty hard to teach people how to play your game, especially if it's for a game jam and you're on a time crunch. I thought it was a cool thing to do though! |
| Oct 9 07:05:44 | 15m 54s | Unstable Towers | ♥ 1 | Very difficult game. Simple concept that's executed fairly well. But it feels a bit hard to control and kinda floaty. Having the rotation snap to 90 or 45 degrees would make it easier to control how/where you place your blocks. Nice work overall! |
| Oct 11 23:21:13 | 64h 15m | Core Weapon | ♥ 1 | Cool idea! I had a similar thing going on mine, where you have to juggle different tasks at the same time. Wish there was an option to start with all 4 of the bars activated at the same time for those that keep replaying. Having to wait for them to show up is good for teaching people how to play the game though. Nice work! |
| Oct 12 00:41:28 | 1h 20m | Singularity | ♥ 1 | Cool game, though I have my gripes with it. I was fine mostly fine with the enemies going through walls since there's not much time to set up pathfinding during a jam. Though if the enemies can walk through walls then my bullets should also go through the walls to be able to stop them. I would've also liked some more advanced upgrades, rather than just damage increases. Different firing modes for the weapon would add to the replayability as well. Overall nice work though! |
| Oct 12 00:50:50 | 9m 22s | Unstable Concoctions | ♥ 1 | Tried to juggle keyboard and controller in an attempt to play this. Cool concept, didn't know what the hell I was doing the entire time. Not sure if the potions are random or certain recipes make certain things, maybe some UI to show what potions I am making would be helpful. Even a simple test room where you can experiment and learn the game would help a lot. |
| Oct 12 01:03:18 | 12m 28s | Wine Guy | ♥ 0 | Cool idea, but I feel like I'm at the mercy of RNG to get any kind of score. Either I'm real bad at the game or you can't really fix the glass after it starts to tilt at all. My best scores were from just holding the mouse in the middle of the screen. |
| Oct 12 01:15:38 | 12m 20s | Manoe's Quest | ♥ 1 | Great entry! Love the optional bits that make each level more challenging, and having 2 different gameplay systems that complement each other is cool. Really challenging game and has lots of neat levels too. |
| Oct 12 01:26:59 | 11m 21s | Tangerine Massacre | ♥ 1 | Cool game, well executed too! My only problem with it is that deflecting the apples feels like it has to be weirdly timed sometimes. Maybe I have to be facing it directly rather than at an angle but there were times where I definitely should've deflected them but I got hit instead. Everything else about it feels and plays well. Having the floor crumble and come back later for a higher score was a great addition! |
| Oct 12 01:41:30 | 14m 31s | Falling Tower | ♥ 1 | Nice twist on the tetris formula. I thought I just had to keep any blocks from falling off of the side, having to make a stable "building" is a better idea. |
| Oct 12 01:54:03 | 12m 33s | Unistable | ♥ 1 | Extremely difficult game, yet fun enough to have me trying for a bit too long lol Thank god there are actually checkpoints in it. |
| Oct 12 02:04:27 | 10m 24s | Hazmat Magic | ♥ 1 | Great game! Love the little puzzles. The dialogue disappears a bit too fast for me to read though. I see lots of room for expansion for this one! |
| Oct 12 02:11:52 | 7m 25s | Wobbly Warbler | ♥ 1 | Nice little game! Adding more difficulty as you go up is a really nice addition. I couldn't just spam the same moves over and over, which makes the gameplay more interesting. Giving the player the ability to dodge and jump would've been nice too though. |
| Oct 18 03:22:58 | 145h 11m | Tribulation | ♥ 1 | Cool game! Love how the map is different depending on the players sanity level. Gameplay is otherwise simple but it gets the job done. Since bullets can go through walls you can cheese a lot of the enemies but there's not much you can do about that since they don't have advanced pathfinding. All around though good work! |
| Oct 18 03:35:08 | 12m 10s | The Show Must Go Down | ♥ 1 | Cool idea for a game, wish I had more options to mess around with stuff. Unless I'm missing what I use the money, sword, and leek on then all I can do is the piano and hack the teleprompter. Still though, seems like there's a lot of dialogue in this and possibly some replay value. |
| Oct 18 03:43:26 | 8m 18s | 00:00 (ZeroTime) | ♥ 3 | Great game! Love the games where you have to multitask and manage multiple systems. Looks great, is easy to understand how to play, and has some replay value. |
| Oct 18 21:35:46 | 17h 52m | Zap! | ♥ 1 | Cool game, I think I got the gist of how to play it but it's still not easy to stay alive. Maybe it'd be easier if there was some way to see all of what's happening at once. I feel like I don't get enough advance warning about the battery levels. By the time I start hearing "battery low" I basically don't have enough time to make more stuff to fix it. I could also be reading the comms system completely wrong, too. |
| Oct 19 01:03:59 | 3h 28m | Into the Forest: Out of Your Mind | ♥ 0 | Nice little game, not sure what the identify actions are supposed to do though. Seems like most monsters take fire damage, some a little poison, and nearly none take earth damage. I tried different actions to see what they were weak against but couldn't really figure it out. Maybe having an explanation on that or a more obvious way of telling would be nice. |
| Oct 19 01:06:53 | 2m 54s | Cyber Maze | ♥ 0 | Neat little game. Everything seems like it works as intended and its fun to try to beat your record. |
| Oct 19 01:11:46 | 4m 53s | Half Summoned | ♥ 0 | Cool game! Like the different monsters and having to maneuver based on who you're playing as. The bombs were kinda weird, I wasn't sure how big the radius was and whether I was getting hurt by it or not. Having some explosion animation or sprite would help that a lot. Was pretty short and sweet otherwise. |
| Oct 19 05:11:11 | 3h 59m | Ecologist | ♥ 1 | Nice game, simple enough that I got what I was supposed to do within a minute. The help menu is really helpful despite just being a few images and having no words. I can see where this can be expanded upon too, so good work! |
| Oct 19 05:27:37 | 16m 26s | Solar Colonies | ♥ 2 | Great game! Took me like 4 tries to figure out how to get it working right, but after that it was pretty fun. I just kept buying the climate control machines and spammed those and the big trees on a planet. Then I farmed the colonists until I had enough money to go to the next planet. Having a random galaxy every time would've been really cool, but I get that time constraints exist lol |
| Oct 19 05:36:23 | 8m 46s | Ruins of Instability | ♥ 1 | Cool game, I like the mix of 2D "platformer" and turn-based movement. Enemies and levels seem pretty basic, but they're randomized enough to be interesting for a bit. |
| Oct 19 09:43:10 | 4h 06m | First Flight | ♥ 2 | Nice little puzzle game. Got through it pretty quickly but it was pretty enjoyable. Having the crown system for doing less moves was a nice touch. |
| Oct 19 09:54:06 | 10m 56s | StackItToSpace | ♥ 1 | Nice use of the theme. Wish there was a way to reset the current level when you accidentally mess things up and objects fall off-screen. Otherwise cool game and the random generated items keep things interesting. |
| Oct 19 23:08:18 | 13h 14m | Lizzie's Lucky Potion Shop | ♥ 2 | Really enjoyable game. Love all the different kinds of potions you can make, and the flavor text is fun. Not sure what you can add to the gameplay to make it more interesting, maybe the play has to grab the ingredients from different rooms or something? Or interacting with the potion while its being made, but its solid enough on its own. Nice work! |
| Oct 20 00:28:33 | 1h 20m | Cubility | ♥ 1 | Cool game, though the physics are a bit jank at times. The blocks stick together half of the time, and the other half they disappear when they are balanced correctly. Nice idea for a game and its pretty fun though, good work! |
| Oct 20 04:18:45 | 3h 50m | Clay Boy | ♥ 0 | A very... disturbing yet interesting platformer lol feels very uncontrollable at times but its still pretty fun to move around in. |
| Oct 20 04:24:38 | 5m 53s | The Climb Out | ♥ 1 | Nice little platformer, the story and atmosphere really add to it. The games not too difficult so the player can read as the story plays out. |
| Oct 20 04:55:22 | 30m 44s | Rocky Rhodes and the Cracked Case | ♥ 3 | Very good game, fits the theme perfectly XD love all the little minigames and the dialogue is great! |
| Oct 20 21:52:23 | 16h 57m | How high How many | ♥ 0 | Hard game but fun. The controls make it hard to stack in a way that I want and add to the chaos. The setup for the game is unique and makes it more fun. Though I had a bug where I couldn't drop the blocks that I picked up, and it happened more than once. |
| Oct 20 22:03:53 | 11m 30s | Hold it ! | ♥ 3 | Nice looking game, fits the theme well. I like how the idea is simple but the levels add more shapes as you go to steadily increase difficulty. You can cheese the levels a lot by throwing stuff into the air and catching it right before the timer goes out, but I prefer that than having to hold all the objects still for a long time. |
| Oct 20 22:16:09 | 12m 16s | 鬼心伝 - A Story of Heartful Oni | ♥ 1 | It seems like I always play your jam games and I always really enjoy them. I'm glad I can at least read some of the Japanese(kanji is hard, okay). The gameplay is solid and the music and art are great like they usually are. Nice work! |
| Oct 21 00:55:27 | 2h 39m | The Lunatic | ♥ 1 | Nice little platformer. Its a cool idea, but I would've liked to see it used in different ways. The visual in the top left for the gravity is a nice touch. Having some variety in the gravity changes and orbiting speed would be cool too. |
| Oct 21 01:07:34 | 12m 07s | Unstable Spore | ♥ 1 | Nice little game, I enjoyed playing it. Noticed a few bugs like certain cards not working or my cards disappearing. Overall though the gameplay is nice. Good work! |
