| Oct 4 04:44:42 | Life on Cards | ♥ 1 | I like the aesthetic, and the card swiping animation is really clean looking. Interesting idea for the theme. Nice! | |
| Oct 4 05:02:32 | 17m 50s | Greedy Miner | ♥ 1 | Interest concept executed pretty well! At one point I realized you could stack a lot of houses on top of each other to increase production. If I have any real criticisms its that its not clear what all of the upgrades do. Anyway, nice! |
| Oct 4 05:09:02 | 6m 30s | Pong-Anoid | ♥ 2 | A really fun idea! It's a little chaotic trying to play it by yourself, but it would be fun to play with two people huddled over a keyboard. The pixel art is really charming too. Nice! |
| Oct 4 05:14:06 | 5m 04s | the adventures of catboy in blobtopia | ♥ 4 | My dream of becoming a catboy is finally fulfilled. I do wish I could see how much health I have left though. Still, nice! |
| Oct 4 05:22:22 | 8m 16s | The Madness of Larry Donovan | ♥ 0 | A lot of ideas implemented pretty well! It's clear there's a lot more depth to the gameplay than I had the time to explore. Nice! |
| Oct 4 05:26:06 | 3m 44s | Captain Quack | ♥ 1 | The music in combination with the freakin' duck flying all around sent me. Nice! |
| Oct 4 05:29:31 | 3m 25s | I Want to Summon a Hot Demon but My Pwr Lvl is too Low so the Portal is Unstable | ♥ 1 | Cute idea! I like that the title is basically the title of a light novel. |
| Oct 4 05:33:05 | 3m 34s | Place Called Home | ♥ 1 | Not sure I get how to properly play the game, but good job regardless! |
| Oct 4 05:40:05 | 7m 00s | Poverty boy | ♥ 1 | I got to the end(?) of the game and it was pretty interesting. I feel like I'm not smart enough to get what it all means though. |
| Oct 4 05:45:18 | 5m 13s | Unstable Ball Game | ♥ 1 | I mean, it's pinball a clear as I can tell. Pretty fun though. |
| Oct 4 05:48:13 | 2m 55s | UNSTABLE OSCILLOSCOPE | ♥ 1 | Pretty trippy. Fits the theme really well! |
| Oct 4 06:02:10 | 13m 57s | Midnight Maintenance | ♥ 1 | I'm pretty impressed. I played for quite a while. The text on the signposts were fun. Nice job! |
| Oct 4 06:14:23 | 12m 13s | Tama Town | ♥ 1 | The theme is cute, and I eventually got kinda used to the controls. I even beat a few levels. Unfortunately the the constantly rotating background started to make me queasy so I stopped. Pretty interesting though! |
| Oct 4 06:20:16 | 5m 53s | Cybotica | ♥ 2 | This was really great! Super cute pixel art, and the unstable theme is really represented well. Great job! |
| Oct 4 06:26:04 | 5m 48s | Trapped | ♥ 2 | I like the pixel art. I couldn't figure out if there was more to the game than just avoiding ghosts and finding your way through the maze. I did get to the end though, I think? Still, nice job! |
| Oct 4 06:36:16 | 10m 12s | Alien Disco | ♥ 1 | Simple and well executed. I like how the time bar gets faster over time. There is some strategy to dancing in the right spot to make the bar go up faster. Pixel art is cute too. |
| Oct 4 06:40:26 | 4m 10s | Space Truck | ♥ 0 | Interesting game. Gives me FTL vibes a little bit. Definitely fitting for the theme. Nice! |
| Oct 4 06:43:39 | 3m 13s | Cold Eyes | ♥ 1 | Fun little arcade survival shooter. |
| Oct 4 06:52:41 | 9m 02s | Hello Darkness. My old Friend. | ♥ 1 | I really, really enjoyed the pencil drawn aesthetic of this game. There were a lot of really cool platforming elements too. Unfortunately I got stuck on one level with some pretty scuffed design so I wasn't able to finish it, but I really enjoyed what I could play. Nice job! |
| Oct 4 07:35:36 | 42m 55s | Life Is... | ♥ 1 | I liked the music. I played it twice, selecting totally different answers each time to try to get a different ending, but I got the same one. Pretty cute though. Nice! |
| Oct 4 07:48:52 | 13m 16s | Unstable Ground | ♥ 1 | A fun little masocore platformer. This is right up my alley. I think the concept is interesting. Losing progress every time you die forces you to get better and better at each level in order to progress. It's definitely not for everyone, but I enjoyed it. |
| Oct 4 08:11:14 | 22m 22s | Break Through | ♥ 1 | This is a really interesting game. At first I couldn't figure out the rules for how the player moves, but once I did it was a pretty enjoyable time. My only criticism really is that it's too hard to distinguish between breakable walls, and walls that kill you. It's kind of a toss up most of the time. Still, it's an interesting idea for a platformer, and I had fun with it. |
| Oct 4 08:26:07 | 14m 53s | Harry | ♥ 1 | Interesting story and lovely atmosphere. I was a little taken aback at the question sections though. It kind of took me out of the story. |
| Oct 4 08:31:33 | 5m 26s | UnderControl | ♥ 0 | I like the wolves. Since the game is only moving around killing enemies, it would be nice to have some sort of score system to give a feeling of progress. Edit: I reread the description. So it does have a score system! For whatever reason it wasn't showing up unless I put it in fullscreen mode. After I did that the game made a lot more sense. |
| Oct 4 09:59:28 | 1h 27m | The Vortex | ♥ 2 | I beat the game. I like the design of the ghosts. Pretty creepy. I think implementing coyote time would help the game a lot. I had no problems with any of the levels until the last one because I kept slipping off the platforms with the high acceleration. I also think the ghost's hitboxes are a little too big. There were several times when I would visibly jump over a ghost only to die by an invisible hitbox. Still, its not bad! I like the theming of closing up an unstable portal with ghosts flying out. |
| Oct 5 01:32:44 | 15h 33m | MANIC MELTDOWN! | ♥ 4 | Love the art, and the concept fits the theme well. The highlight of my playthrough though was when I died and was greeted to a newspaper article of me as a skeleton getting fired. That one got me. Nice job! |
| Oct 5 01:41:34 | 8m 50s | Unstable pathing | ♥ 1 | A simple little puzzle game where you have to choose the right path to get to the end. It's essentially the ice puzzle from the last gym in pokemon ruby/sapphire, but deeper because you have to execute your pathing quickly so you don't fall. It's a neat idea for a game and fits the theme really well! |
| Oct 5 01:55:20 | 13m 46s | Swing Gobang | ♥ 0 | Html5 link is broken :/ |
| Oct 5 01:58:34 | 3m 14s | Cyberwalk 2049 | ♥ 3 | Oooh I like the concept. Having powerups that you physically carry with you and have to keep stable in your backpack is really cool idea. Nice job! |
| Oct 5 02:03:59 | 5m 25s | Life Unit X330 | ♥ 1 | A really interesting little arcade game. Trying to juggle keeping the life support system alive and shooting rocks/enemies is really unique. I will say, I felt really hopeless whenever it was destroyed and my death was unavoidable. Nice job! |
| Oct 5 02:08:42 | 4m 43s | Unstable Ground Squirrel | ♥ 0 | This is really cool. When the ground started collapsing, creating new ways to access the ladders I was really impressed. I was wondering if there was more to it than just getting the acorns, but then I read this page saying it was just a rough prototype. Still, for a prototype it's really interesting! |
| Oct 5 02:16:52 | 8m 10s | Unstable Concoction | ♥ 1 | The art and music are really wonderful. I like addition of spoken lines. I'm not sure I ever understood how to actually play the game, but I had a good time watching all the cute pixel ingredients fly around |
| Oct 5 02:22:38 | 5m 46s | Glitch | ♥ 1 | I thought at first it was going to be just a super simple platformer, but then the addition of fun little glitches caught me by surprise. Good job! |
| Oct 5 02:39:05 | 16m 27s | JankenMaho | ♥ 1 | It took me a second to understand what I was supposed to do, but once I got it it was pretty fun! Love the artwork as well. Good job! |
| Oct 5 02:46:10 | 7m 05s | Tripple Trouble | ♥ 1 | This was a really fun idea! I like how the various things you change into give you different attributes for the platforming. The opening cutscene was a nice touch. Good job! |
| Oct 5 02:51:47 | 5m 37s | Witch Season | ♥ 1 | I think the idea of having quests (like the apples the mushroom guy wanted) be completable by changing seasons around is an interesting idea. |
| Oct 5 09:02:29 | 6h 10m | Witches Brew | ♥ 2 | Really lovely art. It was fun to see all the ingredients flying everywhere. Nice job! |
| Oct 5 09:09:43 | 7m 14s | Orbital Cascade | ♥ 1 | An interesting concept executed really well! I love the pixel art, very clean looking. I'm personally not a fan of thruster movement but it makes sense in context. Great job! |
| Oct 6 05:06:29 | 19h 56m | Drunken Master | ♥ 2 | The vomiting sound was a bit much for me imo |
| Oct 6 05:12:26 | 5m 57s | Realignment | ♥ 1 | I liked how the AI would keep having a conversation while you go about the tasks. |
| Oct 6 05:56:00 | 43m 34s | Hikari’s Journey 光の旅 — the umbral world | ♥ 1 | It was very fun to see a whole narrative play out. Unfortunately I got stuck on one of the block puzzles later on, so I wasn't able to see the end. Still, this is one of the most impressive entries I've tried. Really wonderful job! |
| Oct 6 06:18:15 | 22m 15s | Solar Colonies | ♥ 1 | Super cool game. I love the atmosphere and pixel art. Really well polished too. Great job! |
| Oct 6 06:32:32 | 14m 17s | A Crowded Place | ♥ 1 | I got all three endings. This was very involved for a first game. Nice job! |
| Oct 6 06:50:52 | 18m 20s | WHERE AM I | ♥ 1 | I got jumpscared the first time the room flashed red. You got me! |
| Oct 6 06:58:14 | 7m 22s | Path of the Pogo | ♥ 1 | Ended up getting more height just making the player spin wildly. At one point I got stuck on a slope. |
| Oct 9 05:30:02 | 70h 31m | Unstable Magicks | ♥ 1 | Super cool little game! The effects and simple pixel graphics are really charming. The only criticism I have is it's a little difficult to tell when a spell is good to cast or not. I really like having the charging me on the curser, but the current animation makes it really difficult to tell at what point the spell's charge is at. If I play it for longer it might start clicking with me though. Really amazing job! |
| Oct 9 05:46:35 | 16m 33s | Unstable(d) | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this one! It's pretty much a full game already. I am curious how much distance you have to go before reaching the forest though. I like how sometimes one of the farmers will jump out ahead of the others as a little surprise. I could see myself playing this for a while. Great job! |
| Oct 9 06:03:00 | 16m 25s | Nightstruck | ♥ 2 | The mix of 2d character sprites with 3d environments really worked for me. I would love to see a more involved rpg made with this art style. This project was short enough that I went ahead and got both endings. Intense ladder gameplay indeed. |
| Oct 9 06:10:36 | 7m 36s | RockyRoll | ♥ 3 | I think if the slipperiness of the controls were adjusted a bit, it would feel better. Also it was really jarring when the character didn't move with the moving platforms. Still, nice job making something like this over a weekend! It's a good foundation for sure. |
| Oct 9 06:21:06 | 10m 30s | Star Drop | ♥ 1 | The pixel graphics, the sound effects, and the ui are all really polished. I'm very impressed. It took me a second to figure out the gameplay, but once I understood it was really interesting and unique. I do think some of the puzzles are a bit tough right off the bat though. I didn't get past lvl4, but there was one earlier that I think I only got past by a fluke. Still, really wonderful job! |
| Oct 9 06:30:42 | 9m 36s | Heat Death | ♥ 2 | The chatbox mocking while playing is a nice touch. Cute graphics and pretty tight controls too. I do agree with some of the above commenters about the dash cooldown being a little odd though. Still, great job! |
| Oct 9 06:38:13 | 7m 31s | Button's Garden | ♥ 0 | The art and music is really wonderful. I might try again later, but it seemed like I was only able to plant one kind of mushroom. I'm probably just missing something though. I do think a little more guidance at the beginning would help a bit, though I pretty much figured out what to do by clicking around. Overall, a very cute little game! |
| Oct 9 06:44:01 | 5m 48s | Unstable Towers | ♥ 1 | I like the concept a lot, and it is strangely relaxing to play. I think it would help if the rotating was a little faster, because it was too slow to be of any use when I played. This gives me Getting Over It vibes with how all of your progress can be undone with a stay physics quirk. Still pretty cool though. |
| Oct 9 06:50:13 | 6m 12s | Astral Collapse | ♥ 1 | The music was the best part for me. For whatever reason zooming out with the scrollwheel didn't work for me, so I played at the default zoom. Would have probably preferred starting zoomed out more and giving the option to zoom in if wanted. Still, its a fun idea executed pretty well. Nice job! |
| Oct 9 06:57:36 | 7m 23s | Proximity War | ♥ 0 | Ok so I think this is a really cool idea and pretty impressive for a game jam. However, the application window is so tiny its almost impossible to play. This game needed to either have a larger window, a resizable window, or a fullscreen option. It's a cool idea, but kind of unplayable on a 4k monitor. |
| Oct 9 07:07:03 | 9m 27s | W O B B L E | ♥ 2 | The super stylized graphics and sound are a big plus for me. Moving the blocks felt a little janky, but I guess that fits the theme huh? Overall a really well put together game. |
| Oct 9 07:23:18 | 16m 15s | Escape from Space | ♥ 1 | Really interesting game. I think it would make a really cool table top game. My only gripe really is that sometimes reading through the various cards was a chore since they wouldn't always display correctly. Maybe the ui could use a little more development. But all things considered I'm very impressed with that was accomplished in the allotted time. Nice! |
