| Oct 20 09:38:15 | GONZO ALCHEMY! | ♥ 1 | I liked the art style and the mood, but unfortunately I didn't managed to sell anything to customers. I succesfully brewed 1 potion, but it was never asked to me. The rest of the mixes I made resulted in failure. I think the game could benefit from a first tutorial phase where you lead the player to each actions he must made, step by step. Good work overall! | |
| Oct 20 09:43:02 | 4m 47s | Shaky Shack | ♥ 3 | Very cool graphics and mood. I think the game could benefit from a counter of potion succesfully made. It would increase replayability in order for players to try to beat their own high score. Good work! |
| Oct 20 09:48:20 | 5m 18s | Soul Quest | ♥ 3 | I missed being able to move the character. Also, didn't understand what made me change form from time to time. The challenge seems a bit too easy for my taste. I liked the mood induced by the graphics, but a bit of audio would be cool. A fine little game overall |
| Oct 20 09:59:35 | 11m 15s | Family Little Horror Show | ♥ 1 | Really liked this one! A point'n'click style adventure with a nice darkish mood. And music gave the tone nicely. Not much else to say but I had fun, thank you! |
| Oct 20 10:07:35 | 8m 00s | Glown-Up | ♥ 1 | The game was actualy quite mysterious, but I had fun exploring the little world you constructed and watching the workers do their job. I tried to imitate them but I'm not sure if it was good or bad. Had fun throwing nuclear wastes around anyway :) Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 10:13:32 | 5m 57s | BALANCING ACT | ♥ 3 | So sad to start a game and see it is in memory of a good doggo :( The gameplay was ok but I felt like the enemies's AI was not at it best ^^' I think you have a good premice for a complete game but it needs a bit of work to increase the fun. Also, wasn't a big fan of the music. Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 10:20:29 | 6m 57s | Unstable Ninja | ♥ 2 | Good old Synty's assets! I liked that you mixed Qwop with a ninja game. I admit I just mashed the buttons until the enemies are dead, but it was fun! A simple concept but it always makes me laugh :p Good work! |
| Oct 20 10:27:48 | 7m 19s | Purps | ♥ 1 | Made me think about Enter The Gungeon. A nice little game, but I must say the difficulty of the bullet hell part is real! Was rolling around to try to avoid being shots ... but still got shot a lot ^^ Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 10:37:20 | 9m 32s | Speedboat Alchemy | ♥ 0 | That was simple but very fun! At first I didn't know what to do to reload, but when I understood I had fun! Unfortunately my potato pc couldn't handle the amount of frogs, so it was a bit laggy. Overall a simple but effective game! Very good work! |
| Oct 20 11:14:14 | 36m 54s | Warp Glider | ♥ 0 | Imho this is the perfect scope for a LD game. A simple but effective concept that you can explore throught a lot of small (but quite challenging) levels. Very good work! |
| Oct 20 11:21:36 | 7m 22s | A Stable Life | ♥ 1 | I liked the idea of having to investigate, but since I'm kind of an ampatient gamer, I found myself just clicking everywhere in hope of triggering the right event (that's more or less how I play point'n'click games too). So, not a game for me, but I appreciated the mood and the minimalistic 3D models. |
| Oct 20 11:24:50 | 3m 14s | Unstable pathing | ♥ 1 | A simple puzzle game, not spectacular but enjoyable. Would have like to see more twists with the gameplay and the mechanics. And a bit of audio too. Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 11:31:42 | 6m 52s | Toil & Trouble | ♥ 0 | I liked the concept, but I never was able to cook anything that didn't blew up. The art style is good and the overall mood of the game is great. Overall I can't say I had much fun because I didn't really understood how to play. Maybe a tutorial that help you create your first potion could be useful for first timers. Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 11:37:19 | 5m 37s | You Gonna Cry? | ♥ 0 | I liked the design of Kevin, wasn't expecting that! The controls and the physics are a bit awkward, but I like how you switch between two states (crying and angry). A nice concept that could use a bit of polish in the controls imho. Good work! |
| Oct 20 11:43:22 | 6m 03s | Nice Work, Nimrod! | ♥ 0 | A simple but surprisingly effective concept. After my first try I was like "ok, I saw the game" ... but I ended up retrying multiple times. So in the end, I would say that the fun factor is definitively here! Also, good scope for a jam. Nice work! |
| Oct 20 11:49:49 | 6m 27s | Unstable Core | ♥ 1 | I thought that the game was a bit hard to read. Too much infos on the HUD imho. I wandered around the station, trying to charge stuffs but I'm not sure I did it right. I think that in order to not scare the players, you should start with a very small and simple level. Maybe without all those infos on the UI. So that we can get use to the systems. Also, the music was pretty good, but there was an instrument that seems out of tune, and that was very deconcentrating. Good work anyway! |
| Oct 20 11:59:55 | 10m 06s | Kei26 - Union Game Engine | ♥ 1 | I like the meta side of the game, I honestly thought it was a legitimate game engine and that the game was uploaded by a noob who wouldn't rename his own project. However, I'm not sure what I was supposed to do in the "editor" part of the game. Had fun playing the simple platformers. The iterations of the games were pretty close of my own gamedev journey (2d, 2d with more stuffs, 3d , jams...) It's very much a game for gamedevs, but I enjoyed that. Was hoping for a happy ending, but the ending is more ambiguous. Very good work! |
| Oct 20 12:17:19 | 17m 24s | A Towering Climb | ♥ 1 | Firts death was at level 10. I think you could increase the difficulty of the game. Overall taht was a fun little platformer. The changing gameplay events were nice additions that broke the monotony of the game. Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 12:23:04 | 5m 45s | crane-simulator | ♥ 1 | Your game is actually pretty similar of what I intended to do for the jam :) A simple construction game with some puzzle elements, nice and relaxed. I found the tower I was constructing surprisingly stable ^^ Good work! |
| Oct 20 12:25:14 | 2m 10s | Clowning Around | ♥ 0 | You definitively capture the circus mood, with the music and the crowd reacting to your performances. Not much to say, but it's a decent and relatively fun game :) Good work! |
| Oct 20 12:29:40 | 4m 26s | Shopping Spree! | ♥ 1 | A fun little game that plays a bit like a racing game. I especially liked the music! Too bad there were no sfxs. Good work ! |
| Oct 20 12:33:14 | 3m 34s | Animal Farm | ♥ 1 | Great art style ... but I had no idea what I was doing. I just clicked and read some part of stories, while my "lumber" meter went up and down. So good graphics but definitively needs explanations or a tutorial. Good work overall! |
| Oct 20 12:38:35 | 5m 21s | Operation Meteor Shower | ♥ 2 | Wow, the asteroid view gets pretty psychedelic when you rotate! I would say that, for me, the highlight of the game, the thing that made me smile all along are the voices of the asteroids. You get an extra point in humour! Good work! |
| Oct 20 12:41:19 | 2m 44s | Rook Bishop Knight | ♥ 0 | ? I don't know what happened, but when I click on play, Firefox tells me that "Your browser does not support WebGL.". But I've played numerous games made with unity on my browser since the beginning of the jam. Strange. |
| Oct 20 12:48:20 | 7m 01s | LIFT-UP MACHINE (nightly version) | ♥ 3 | Wow, this is definitively the most unstable game I saw in this jam! I can even go out of the screen limit! Good concept but I felt like everything just felt from my machine. Sometimes I manage to catch a wardrobe, but it felt a few seconds later. Had fun with the wacky physics ^^ |
| Oct 20 12:49:45 | 1m 25s | Into the Cone Zone | ♥ 0 | Really wanted to try this one but unfortunately it didn't worked on my potato computer :/ |
| Oct 20 12:54:08 | 4m 23s | Hellblocks | ♥ 1 | Made me think about Tricky Towers. The physic of the objects was a bit odd, but it somehow participated to the weirdness of the game. So not a big deal. Overall a nice simple game, good work! |
