| Oct 8 12:02:51 | Nth Space | ♥ 1 | Lovely concept, I like the possibilities of what you could do with it! While the mechanics weren't the most intuitive at first, the levels were thoughtfully designed too, so that through experimentation I could gradually get to grips with the mechanics of world. The music was really nice and relaxing too, and it felt like it suited the setting quite well. | |
| Oct 8 12:13:00 | 10m 09s | Fault | ♥ 1 | Certainly an interesting concept, but unfortunately for me I wasn't able to get very far because I was only able to explode once. On top of fixing that bug, I think having it recharge faster (I assume that's what the blue bar is for) would generally be a good idea, as it would allow for faster-paced gameplay rather than forcing the player to kite the enemies and stall for a looooong time before recharging. That said, I really like the music; it's well-made and definitely feels like it fits the unstable theme! |
| Oct 9 00:48:28 | 12h 35m | Shards of Me | ♥ 2 | Really cute game and lovely message. I adore the music, very well-made! In the end I never unlocked the hug or dash attacks -- I ran around and tried to attach the positive messages to every other unhappy blob after the first, but none of the messages seemed to stick on any of them :( Maybe I just couldn't find the right message for each of them haha. I think the platforming could do with some minor ergonomic tweaks. For instance, in many jumps, the platform you're trying to land on ends up off the bottom of the screen at the peak of your jump, which makes it difficult at times to correctly judge where you're going to land. Maybe I'm just bad at platformers, but I ended up missing jumps and falling down a bit too frequently. Overall though, I really liked this game. Excellent effort! |
| Oct 9 03:34:30 | 2h 46m | Atomic Rock Paper Scissors | ♥ 2 | Ended up spending a much longer time playing than I was expecting. Implementationally it's very well-made; the music, while minimal, suits it very well, the sound effects are good, and the gameplay is well-done. Good work! |
| Oct 9 04:27:07 | 52m 37s | Nightstruck | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game! Gives me a little bit of hollow knight feels. The landscaping is and atmosphere is absolutely sublime, the pixel art is great, and the music is incredible. Not only that, but you managed to produce on OST 15 minutes long in only 3 days?! As an aspiring composer, this is a level of productivity that I can only dream of. I actually went back for a second playthrough just to see the second ending haha. The standout character for me was definitely the rope maker. Incredible work overall! |
| Oct 9 08:42:50 | 4h 15m | Among Monolyths | ♥ 1 | Fantastic game with amazingly-designed puzzles. The presentation is very clean, there are no bugs in sight, and the music ties it all together. |
| Oct 9 13:58:34 | 5h 15m | Yarnball | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I made it to 201 before I decided to call it and let a cat get me haha. I like the concept; very unique and enjoyable. The music was also very lovely. Well done! |
| Oct 9 14:15:05 | 16m 31s | Perhaps a Friend? | ♥ 0 | Absolutely hilarious concept, and quite well-executed too! |
| Oct 9 22:25:11 | 8h 10m | Prakzar's Problematic Potion Puzzle Pit | ♥ 1 | Neat game, and pretty cool concept! The music is really nice; I'm a sucker for choirs so I really liked it! Just like the commenter above me, things got pretty out of hand pretty quickly, so I ended up only really focusing on trying to dodge projectiles rather than strategising for maximum points. That said, because there was so much going on in the larger chain reactions, I wasn't very successful in my dodging haha. Nice work! |
| Oct 9 22:38:20 | 13m 09s | Unstable Ground | ♥ 0 | Nice concept, and solidly executed! The level the design for the first few levels is very good, introducing you to the mechanics of the blocks, and then jumping (including jumping after falling off a block), and then the new block types, and so on. The gameplay is tight too! The game would've definitely benefitted from a checkpoint system, as the first big level did take the wind out of my sails each time I died somewhat far in. Just like the commenter above me I reckon the block falling sound is a bit too grating; an easy fix is to pull up an audio editor (e.g. audacity) and apply a low pass filter to it -- a gentle one would probably do the job. That said, the music is good and the sound effects fit the setting well. Good job! |
| Oct 9 22:46:03 | 7m 43s | Reactor | ♥ 0 | Really cool game! The concept is novel, and the gameplay is well-done and bug-free. Incredibly high quality, especially given this is a compo game. The music is nice and soothing, as are the sound effects. Very well done! |
| Oct 10 03:23:27 | 4h 37m | HONK III | ♥ 1 | Simply incredible. Everything that could be said has already been said, but as a fellow composer I want to send my admiration to Sava and Syntheslav for the OST. Amazing work! |
| Oct 10 03:57:36 | 34m 09s | Quantum Qitty | ♥ 2 | Great game, very polished! The graphics are superb, and the music and sound effects fit right in. Really cool core mechanic, and really satisfyingly executed. Some of the levels were a bit challenging and took me quite a number of attempts, but it wasn't frustrating at all and in fact rather enjoyable. Well done! |
| Oct 10 11:35:55 | 7h 38m | Cyberduk | ♥ 2 | Incredible game! I really do love the idea of a physics-based platformer and you did a wonderful job of creating one! The aesthetic is superb and the music fits it very well. Great job! |
| Oct 19 07:41:41 | 212h 05m | Fuse | ♥ 1 | Cool game! I really like the burning shader for the wood, that's a cool effect! The tutorial was helpful, but it was a bit hard to focus on the text at times. The gameplay was solid. Good work overall! |
| Oct 19 07:52:00 | 10m 19s | Unstable Signal | ♥ 1 | Cool game, I like the graphical effects! The idea of figuring out, then planning and timing your jumps is a novel one. As one commenter said above, a little bit more midair control definitely would've gone a long way. Nice work overall! |
| Oct 19 08:03:20 | 11m 20s | Arranging The Deckchairs | ♥ 1 | Nice game! The idea of a tilting/rotating environment is pretty cool, and makes for a nice challenge (i.e. only being able to make it to the left area when the ship is sufficiently tilted... though admittedly waiting for the ship to tilt back to get into the main area again was a bit boring haha). The graphics are quite nice and the music and sound effects suit it well. Well done! |
| Oct 19 08:14:24 | 11m 04s | 鬼心伝 - A Story of Heartful Oni | ♥ 1 | Reminds me of Touhou games! Very nice! |
| Oct 19 08:22:38 | 8m 14s | Escape From DIABOLACORP | ♥ 1 | Cute art :) |
| Oct 21 01:23:56 | 41h 01m | SIRTET | ♥ 1 | Excellent take on the theme! |
| Oct 21 02:14:19 | 50m 23s | QWOPcrate | ♥ 0 | I managed to get into a bit of a rhythm using only two keys. Interesting concept! The music is quaint too. :) |
| Oct 21 03:56:49 | 1h 42m | Kinetic Space Mining | ♥ 1 | Really cool, and I'm a huge fan of the fact that you used Rust (I wouldn't have noticed that if another commenter hadn't pointed it out though haha). The game feels mechanically polished, and the music, while very simple, actually works incredibly well for creating the mood. Well done! |
