| Oct 7 23:50:03 | Alteration | ♥ 1 | I'm not much for puzzles, but it was mostly easy enough... then I really struggled with "There and Back Again". But everyone is different. Maybe post-jam you can add something that lets you know how far along you are. The music and sound effects were great, but like others commented I also found the implementation didn't totally work with so many fast switches. Nice work on the pixel art, especially the perspective on the surrounding frame. Good creativity on having a variety of levels to make use of the mechanic. And a neat concept to fit the "unstable" theme. Overall well done. | |
| Oct 7 23:58:16 | 8m 13s | gunstable | ♥ 1 | This was a fun game. I enjoyed the wacky variety of characters and guns. Took me a minute to realize I was collecting cheese, not gold, I think! Definitely a little tricky to manage the changing weapons, but that's the challenge, and it's a neat idea given the theme. |
| Oct 8 00:15:54 | 17m 38s | Pizza Pony | ♥ 2 | This is kind of how it feels to back up a truck with a trailer - you need to go in the opposite direction a bit first. I loved that the music lined up with the galloping! Double points for the "unstable" theme on this one. |
| Oct 8 00:31:33 | 15m 39s | Failing 4 You | ♥ 2 | I finished the game! The floaty ship lips seemed like a combo of Navi from LoZ and Hal from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Neat concept, and overall did feel very "unstable" for the theme! The music and sound effects were a highlight for me. |
| Oct 8 00:48:22 | 16m 49s | SOLAR CANDY | ♥ 1 | Great work! Seems like a simple idea with a twist and executed very well. Definitely "unstable". Actually after playing a bunch it felt like my screen was turning back and forth! It seemed the best strategy was to try and keep things balanced - once I got a corner too heavy it kept flipping back and forth and I was done for. At first I couldn't make sense of the three dots in the top left - then I realized I was reading it backward. Always cool when games use a smaller play space and the rest for general aesthetic - very cool! I especially liked the music & sound effects. Overall a solid game. |
| Oct 12 00:51:36 | 96h 03m | Pale Moon Shone | ♥ 1 | This is a neat entry, nice to get a break from platformers. The poem snippets add a level of class, and the music selections were great fits. Trying to think what could be improved... sometimes I wasn't sure who was talking (me, the person at the door, or the bartender), so maybe that could be made a little clearer somehow (different colour or font for the text?). I kind of just kept looping, wandering, until I found my way to the end, but the end was satisfying. Maybe you could add a final image to the ending, so it's a little more rewarding or enlightening to the story. |
| Oct 12 01:00:15 | 8m 39s | Stable Mind. | ♥ 1 | Sorry your initial idea didn't work out, but good job putting something together in very limited time. The chill music fits well with the feather, I think! I found the gameplay too difficult though. Maybe you could start with just the feather and blower and no red things, for the player to get used to it - the challenge of keeping the feather on the screen is enough. Then gradually add more red things to avoid. |
| Oct 12 01:19:16 | 19m 01s | Unscrambler | ♥ 1 | The best game I've played so far from this jam. What a creative idea! It's tricky but you gave us a lot of hearts so it helps to compensate. Cool to have a leader board. And I liked the fine details, like how the text shifts and goes kind of rainbow when you get a good word. |
| Oct 12 01:33:57 | 14m 41s | NEKONOVA'S NOT HOME | ♥ 2 | Very addicting, very challenging. I think my highest score was 7 when I got lucky near the start, and I never did nearly as well later. I especially enjoyed the pentatonic music and inclusion of a cat instead of just being a boring spaceship! Felt very fitting for the unstable theme. |
| Oct 12 01:45:57 | 12m 00s | Where's My Tripod? | ♥ 1 | I really loved this, thanks for the relaxing take on this theme. My only wish was to get to keep the pixel photographs at the end! My best photo subject was a black bear that went running by. |
| Oct 14 22:57:24 | 69h 11m | No More Stables! | ♥ 1 | Wow, this game rocks! It's really kind of three games in one. Very fun and funny! And I thought the music, though simplistic, was fun and fit the game and moods really well. |
