| Oct 4 11:40:25 | Alchimia | ♥ 1 | That was super fun! I feel like you made the side effects just difficult enough to add a good challenge. Really great idea and a great looking game, too! | |
| Oct 5 05:41:22 | 18h 00m | Warhead Stroll | ♥ 1 | This is great! I just *could not* beat the boss but I tried so hard! I love the humour in the dialogue, especially in the boss battle. Visually very unique, too. Great game! |
| Oct 5 05:50:34 | 9m 12s | Lost In Time | ♥ 2 | What a fascinating game! I have a real soft spot for these kinds of thought provoking ambiguous narratives. The concept itself was also quite unique and fit the theme perfectly. Well done! |
| Oct 5 06:01:51 | 11m 17s | Bling! | ♥ 1 | Considering that you didn't quite get the game finished, I think what you have done is really impressive and quite fun. I like a card-based battler and the minimalist art style is also very appealing. I'm not 100% sure how it fits the theme but I'm sure that would have become clearer once you fleshed it out more. There's no real point in criticising an incomplete game and I'm sure I wouldn't tell you anything you didn't already know, so I won't bother with that. I'm glad you have a plan to finish it off and I'll be interested to see it once it's done! |
| Oct 5 06:11:23 | 9m 32s | -Y- | ♥ 1 | It's certainly a beautiful game. The colour palette, the lack of text and the squawking of crows gives it a definitely unsettling feel. I am not 100% sure I really understood what the pictures/icons were telling me to do but I still managed to complete the puzzles. I'm kind of sad that it was so short because I was just starting to get into it when it ended. Overall, a gorgeous game that left me wanting more. |
| Oct 5 06:26:08 | 14m 45s | Greedy Miner | ♥ 1 | I DID IT! win.png I love this game. It's funny, creative and suits the theme well. At first, I didn't see how it related to "unstable" but then I started stacking power plants on top of houses like some dystopian nightmare... and then a tsunami came rolling in. I feel like a bit of music and some sound effects would have added a lot to the game but, overall, I really enjoyed it! |
| Oct 5 06:34:38 | 8m 30s | Unstable Them | ♥ 1 | This is FANTASTIC! It took me a few attempts to get the timing right but once I did I became.... a FORSE to be reckoned with 😆 The music is great. The animation and art style suits the game idea perfectly. I love that the little babby horses sound like puppies barking for some reason. Just a great fun game (although my top score was 229... which I probably pretty bad) |
| Oct 5 06:43:56 | 9m 18s | c0rrup73d | ♥ 1 | This is really nice! I don't think I've seen a platformer where the levels swap as you play them - great idea and really well executed! I was utterly hopeless at it, unfortunately. The art was excellent. I wish it had some music to amp up the intensity of it all. The glitch effect and the way that new levels painted themselves in was also fantastic. Really impressive! |
| Oct 5 08:07:52 | 1h 23m | 10 minutes to instability | ♥ 2 | Great game. I love Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes so naturally I was pretty into this game. Using the 'bad signal' mechanic and text messages to reveal the puzzles was good but I think it would have been nice if new texts became available after you completed the puzzle. My fingers got saw from cooling down the bomb while waiting for the next text. I had a couple of issues at the start because the character got stuck on the walls and I didn't think I could interact with the bomb but once I got past that, it was good! Well done! |
| Oct 5 08:17:41 | 9m 49s | A Towering Climb | ♥ 3 | Nice game! I found some parts of it quite easy but other parts of it super hard (which is probably how a platformer should be, really). It all ran smoothly and there were some cool ideas in there. I think the axes were swinging too slowly as you spend a while waiting for them to get out of the way in some parts. Also there's a slight bug where you can infinitely jump against moving platforms but it doesn't really help the player much. Overall, well done! |
| Oct 5 08:31:26 | 13m 45s | Civil Unrest! | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept and I like that you interpreted the theme as "civil instability". The game idea was quite unique but I did find that I struggled to come up with a winning strategy. Some chill background music (or maybe not-so-chill seeing as it's about riots) would have been good. Overall, great job! |
| Oct 5 08:36:47 | 5m 21s | Unstable Block Stacker | ♥ 2 | Excellent! It's like a cube-based Mount Your Friends... but more difficult. I like how you've balanced this game, no pun intended. It's very simple but also very challenging - which is difficult to get right! I would have loved some funky tunes to accompany my block stacking but, overall, this is a really nice game! |
| Oct 5 08:54:36 | 17m 49s | ....To the Ends of the World and Back | ♥ 2 | Interesting game! I really liked the ending. ~spoilers below~ I wonder what happened to Grace's girlfriend seeing as she promised to go to the end of the world for her, yet she also signed up for a mission which, if successful, would see her return to Earth thousands (probably millions) of years into the future. It's a cool little mystery. It would have been nice to have more little tasks to stay do while cruising through space. Perhaps the option to turn on some music (or turn it off if you just want to listen to engine noise) would have been good. Overall, though, I quite liked it! |
| Oct 5 23:06:24 | 14h 11m | Understable | ♥ 2 | It took me a little bit to understand the mechanics (i.e how to plan/charge your meter for the upcoming level) but once I did, it turned out to be quite fun and challenging. I feel like the game has a pretty sweet message about managing your love/expectations/relationships. The music was good but I would have liked some game sounds, too. Overall, good work! |
| Oct 5 23:13:30 | 7m 06s | A Crowded Place | ♥ 1 | You should be really proud of your work given that this was your first game ever! I liked the idea and the general mechanics. The movement was smooth and responsive. It was a good idea to have multiple different endings, too. Nice work, I look forward to seeing more of your games in the future! |
| Oct 6 00:49:38 | 1h 36m | Unstable Investments | ♥ 2 | I was hoping some one would make an unstable economy game. I really like this idea. It had all the crazy unpredictability of the real stock market and just like real life I lost a lot of money! In the end, I had success just by buying when a stock went super low as they always bounced back (unlike IRL). Some controls for the sound and a way to restart/replay would have been good (unless there was one that I didn't see). I liked the art style and the UI was pretty intuitive. Overall, good job! |
| Oct 6 05:25:39 | 4h 36m | Fragile Arms: A Sci Fi Story | ♥ 2 | It took me a while to figure out how to build a weapon but once I got the hang of it, I had a great time. A nice little Binding-of-Isaac-esque dungeon crawler with a good sense of humour. Very impressive that you wrote this in Vanilla JS in just a couple of days! Well done! |
| Oct 6 05:40:56 | 15m 17s | Tipsy | ♥ 0 | If this game has taught me anything, it's that I should not under any circumstances be either a furniture removalist or a tightrope walker. I was SO bad at this. It was a great idea though and a challenging but fun little game! Those L shaped blocks can burn in hell. Great work! |
| Oct 6 05:50:19 | 9m 23s | Sir BaLancelot | ♥ 1 | That is one slapping tune! Also a fun game which fits the theme perfectly. My general approach was to just crash into obstacles and spam the space bar, which worked pretty well! It would have been good to have a bit more variety in obstacles or some different block behaviours (such as exploding blocks or sticky blocks). Overall, though, I really liked it. Good job! |
| Oct 6 06:10:19 | 20m 00s | Overclocked | ♥ 1 | Man, I'm dumb. I really liked the game but after a long day at work, my brain was not up to sliding those blocks around. My poor little guy probably ended up more fragmented than before I started! 😆 Actually, it was quite fun and a bit of a challenge. I did find myself running out of time trying to find the next puzzle. Overall, great game! |
| Oct 6 06:25:29 | 15m 10s | Solar Colonies | ♥ 2 | Beautiful looking game with some really fun mechanics in it and a very polished feel. I loved the animations of the little people running around on the planet surface (but felt kind of bad for harvesting them as currency). The art style was really cohesive and the UI was intuitive. It would have been good if it was a little more difficult, but balance is hard to do in a game jam. Overall, excellent game! |
| Oct 6 06:34:28 | 8m 59s | penguin.exe | ♥ 2 | I have never been so infuriated by a cute flightless bird in all my life. Best I could do was 187 points. What kind of mid-90s hellscape have you created here? 😆 In all honesty, it was great. Super simple idea that was executed really well with a cohesive art style and good level of challenge! Well done! |
| Oct 6 06:40:43 | 6m 15s | Nuclear Labs | ♥ 1 | I made it to just under two minutes (yeah, I have almost zero reaction speed and negative accuracy). The difficulty really ramped up quickly. Good game, though. The movement felt good and the sound effects were super satisfying. Perhaps the music could have been more intense? Or maybe that would have been too over-the-top. Overall, a fun game! |
| Oct 6 12:25:42 | 5h 44m | StackItToSpace | ♥ 1 | I've played a few of these stacker games this LD and this is definitely one of the very best of them. The physics feels right and the way the gameplay is designed totally fits the theme. It has a consistent art style and the controls make sense. I just really like it!! |
| Oct 7 05:31:03 | 17h 05m | AFTER SUN | ♥ 1 | This is a super polished, beautiful game! At first I felt sorry for the poor schmos that got burned to death the first time I took off but then I reached the end of the game and... well... maybe dead is better? The presentation, controls, music and just general idea of the game were so well done! Literally my only gripe is that the sound was probably too loud and drowned out the music when you were tearing through space. Other than that, it's just an amazing game! Great work! |
| Oct 7 05:47:01 | 15m 58s | Trenchmouth | ♥ 2 | You've built an atmospheric, dystopian world here through great art, cool music and excellent dialogue/descriptive text. The core game play loop is very good, too. It was a significant undertaking to get a game of this kind of scope done in 72 hours and I think you did a pretty amazing job with it. It would be good to get a little more feedback from interactions (selection clicks, movement animations etc) but in a game jam that kind of thing falls into "nice to have if we've got time" pile. I think there is a lot of potential to grow this out into a bigger game! |
| Oct 7 23:22:28 | 17h 35m | Deathrail | ♥ 2 | This is a great, simple idea that has been executed very well! It has a good level of challenge, the art looks great and the music is awesome! The only thing that could perhaps have been improved is the UI but even that wasn't too bad anyway! Great work! |
| Oct 8 07:50:38 | 8h 28m | Devil's Sitter | ♥ 2 | Good game idea. The art and music really did a great job of establishing a mood! Unfortunately, I got to the final day and simply could not put my the chair in a position to pick something off the wardrobe in one of the bottom right rooms. However, up until that point I was really enjoying it! It feels like it has a good level of challenge and is balanced. I wish I could have seen the end! |
| Oct 10 06:25:29 | 46h 34m | Trailer Trials | ♥ 1 | What a wonderfully infuriating game you've made! It looks amazing and is highly polished. I would have liked a little music to accompany me as I slowly grew angrier and angrier at the very concept of reversing, though. In all seriousness, excellent work! |
| Oct 10 06:38:08 | 12m 39s | Atomic Rock Paper Scissors | ♥ 2 | Absolutely fantastic game! A truly innovative take on an established genre of game with heaps of polish and an excellent progression of difficulty! I thoroughly enjoyed that! Well done! |
| Oct 16 04:04:22 | 141h 26m | Toilet paper ! | ♥ 1 | I feel like this game is a metaphor for my 2021 except I have a broken up key. Nice to see video used in a game jam and an interesting little microgame. |
| Oct 16 04:11:22 | 7m 00s | Å®NSTÃ…BLÄ’ | ♥ 3 | Excellent work! Great game with a lot of polish and some real value adding details (such as prop damage). I was absolutely terrible at it. I loved the Seinfeld-esque intro music and enjoyed the game overall! |
| Oct 17 04:12:42 | 24h 01m | The Un-Stable Ranger | ♥ 0 | A fun little game with quirky controls and a good level of challenge. I loved the animations and the music. It was hard (I was bad at it) but fun! |
