Oct 4 14:05:31 Equilibrium ♥ 1 Nice game! Personally for me one big improvement would be to invert the controls e.g. let the up button do what the down button does now, and vice versa. Then it would be much more intuitive for me. But otherwise I had fun. Good job!
Oct 4 14:16:08 10m 37s Drops of Neon ♥ 1 Nice game! Can't really find anything bad to say about it. I find it impressive you actually have your own website to host the game. But on a side note you can probably try tweaking your website a bit, for me I had to zoom out to 80% in order to see the instructions at the side.
Oct 4 14:41:03 24m 55s The Landscape Hates You! ♥ 2 Honestly I think you should feel proud that you managed to finish a game at all, no matter how bad you think it is, there were a lot of others that didn't manage to finish their game and had to drop out. Whatever complaints you had about your own game, you only had 48 hours. Btw happy birthday to your brother! My 20th birthday is coming up soon as well, so guess we were born very close to each other. Now time for me to get that "boing" sound out of my head.
Oct 4 15:08:26 27m 23s Unstable Ecosystems ♥ 1 Nice game! I especially liked the quote at the start of the game. Some feedback I have: - It would be better if you could clearly distinguish between the different groups (plants, herbivores, carnivores), say by assigning a certain colour(s) to each type of organism, or putting a letter on each one of them. Because after a while you will forget which colour is which group. - The game doesn't feel that challenging. By right what is supposed to happen is that if you do not manage the animals carefully the whole ecosystem will die out, but what happens really is that the choice to add a certain animal comes fairly frequently, which means if I lack, say, herbivores, when the choice comes to add an animal I can just add a herbivore, or add more plants if the choice for a herbivore isn't there. So because this choice comes so frequently, it's very easy to prevent this game from reaching the tipping point where the whole ecosystem collapses and you lose the game. An idea would be to use some sort of currency, where a thriving ecosystem gives you currency which you can use to add organisms of any type you want, and if the ecosystem is failing it becomes harder and harder to save it unless you make very wise choices.
Oct 4 15:14:54 6m 28s The Wind Rises ♥ 1 I can't seem to access your game... LD49 Not Working.png
Oct 4 15:37:33 22m 39s Unstable Genius ♥ 1 Very nice game, gonna come back to this after the rating period is over to see which game you pirated...:D Unless this game wins the Compo, in which case... On a side note, that pirated copy seems very expensive, most likely more expensive than actually buying the game lmao
Oct 4 16:11:05 33m 32s AnoidBuild ♥ 1 I feel like moving left and right is a bit too restrictive, especially on Level 3 where the blocks are basically the same size as your racket, making it hard to move them when you are stuck at the bottom. Maybe adding up and down movement would make it better...? Other than that, I had fun :).
Oct 4 16:24:24 13m 19s An oddly SATISFYING game ♥ 1 AMAZING graphics and sound design, I love the Monument Valley-esque vibe the game gives off. Like the others said, if you made a few harder levels that would be great. I suggest you could do that post-jam, and release it as a puzzle game, similar to Monument Valley.
Oct 4 16:58:48 34m 24s Critters ♥ 1 Sorry is it okay if you explain the controls? I can't seem to wrap my head around them.
Oct 5 06:52:38 13h 53m Mystic Push ♥ 2 Nice game, very polished! The puzzles were maybe a bit too hard, I managed to solve all of them but took me a long time.
Oct 7 00:38:12 41h 45m Politics and Power Grids ♥ 1 It took me some time to understand what I was supposed to do, that gazz=good, electricity=bad, and generators=good. But otherwise interesting game, seems effed up that I can just cut off the power entirely, let half the goober population die off, and still win reelection. I also had fun resigning multiple governors in a row.
Oct 7 06:17:55 5h 39m TECHNUCLEAR ♥ 2 It's a great game, very polished, super good music but I still don't get how the ball is supposed to be affected by the music... :|
Oct 21 18:09:27 347h 51m Disconnection Bridge ♥ 0 Nice game! Just my personal opinion, but maybe A and D/arrow keys might have been a better control scheme, at least for me.
