| Oct 5 22:25:00 | Unstable: Incendiary Cargo | ♥ 2 | This was so fun but so hard!! To be fair, I was making it hard for myself by trying to go full speed, even though I know the real timer is just the gas bar. It was fun trying to figure out what the fastest bump-free/bump-cancelling path was. Also highlight of my play time was one time where I floored the gas and did a crazy jump on the hill after the 1st checkpoint and almost got to the valley of the 3rd checkpoint. Obviously exploded on impact, lol... Well done overall ! It might be nice if it was more obvious where the bumps are visually. The terrain graphically all blended together so it was hard to pick up on height cues. Maybe that's intentional though - definitely added some suspense. also made me laugh at "your kids might tolerate this kind of driving, but these bombs won't" haha | |
| Oct 6 03:09:28 | 4h 44m | Spook It Up | ♥ 1 | Loving the Halloween theme! Music and assets are good. |
| Oct 6 03:22:45 | 13m 17s | Meltdown: The Complete Guide to Reactor Maintenance. | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept. The 90s looking 3d graphics and jarring music add to the gritty chernobyl-esque atmosphere. On the other hand I felt like it was asking too much from me at the beginning, removing a bit of the fun aspect of it. |
| Oct 6 03:39:17 | 16m 32s | Witches Brew | ♥ 2 | Love the music! Fun concept! |
| Oct 6 03:55:35 | 16m 18s | Trailer Trials | ♥ 1 | Amazing! Love the simple graphics and good job at teaching the mechanics to the player. Super hard to reverse but feel accomplished when succeeding at it. |
| Oct 6 04:23:23 | 27m 48s | the cards we're dealt | ♥ 3 | Great entry. The art and music really set the mood for a game about life. Most of my outcomes where feeling manic or angry, reminds me how hard is to feel good when you are in a low emotional state. Great job! |
| Oct 6 05:45:29 | 1h 22m | Paper Route | ♥ 1 | That was so much fun to play. It can get tricky at parts but when you get used to the mechanics it gets more and more rewarding. Great work on the art and physics engine. |
| Oct 6 06:10:17 | 24m 48s | Bullet Hellements | ♥ 1 | This is actually pretty fun once you get used to the mechanics. Letting yourself get hit enough so you can get back up and shoot back. Really appreciate the nice pixel art graphics and good job tutorializing the first part. |
| Oct 6 06:15:53 | 5m 36s | In Balance | ♥ 2 | Amazing! Really enjoyed reading the second entries when interacting with objects. Beating the monsters is really hard, but I appreciate the care to introduce the world at the very beginning. |
| Oct 6 13:38:22 | 7h 22m | HexFall | ♥ 1 | Very cool, well-crafted puzzle game! The ideas are well presented and build nicely on top of each other. It was pretty rewarding to figure it all out and plan out your moves. However [[ SPOILER-ish ALERT GO PLAY FIRST ]]: I think I was able to jump farther than I was supposed to, 2 tiles, which didn't seem intentional (?) and maybe made it easier than it should have been at the end. Great job overall though :) |
| Oct 7 01:32:10 | 11h 53m | Portal Problems! | ♥ 1 | Pretty neat game! I think I'm gonna start calling wrenches "twist assists" now :) Just to throw some improvement idea - I had to go back and read the text instructions to figure out that the middle text was the "hint". Maybe you could have put the hint by the PC/drop box instead to make that clearer visually in-game. Good work on the voice acting! And well done overall |
| Oct 7 01:41:40 | 9m 30s | Sire Sleipnir | ♥ 1 | LMAO IT IS TIME TO UNSTABLE this was amazing. was not expecting all that red... stomp stomp. splat. wow. |
| Oct 7 04:35:22 | 2h 53m | Beff Jezos: Time Shift Manager | ♥ 1 | Amazing work on the puzzles! Voiceover is super funny, but came in a bit unexpectedly and got mixed with the music, making it a bit confusing what he was saying. The idea and concept are very well thought out. |
| Oct 8 03:55:46 | 23h 20m | Fractured Space | ♥ 2 | This game will probably feel too absurd/abstract for most people but I loved it! I like how you can become a floating pile of junk with a will of its own, floating through space. I can definitely imagine a much higher production value version of this - kinda reminds me of the ending of the game Inside. The mood of this game was great. What are those color blobs? And the colorful creatures chasing you? So much mystery... you really built the vibe very well. The camera did act kinda weird sometimes, but otherwise I think I understood and appreciated what you were going for. |
| Oct 8 04:06:30 | 10m 44s | Monster Lab | ♥ 1 | Cool idea, I can definitely see you put a lot of work and thought into the system behind it, like generating all the descriptions for the creatures. I wasn't able to understand what each lab really meant and how it affected the generated creature - with some more work on the presentation of the tasks and the labs, this seems like something that would be fun to play around with. But it was still funny to see all the weird generated creatures! |
| Oct 8 04:35:37 | 29m 07s | Babysitting Simulator | ♥ 1 | I did it!!! Am I ready to be a parent now? Haha, great game, I loved the Super Mom character :) The controls were a bit confusing at first as people have pointed out, but really all I needed clarified was how to kill monsters. The rest I was able to pick up on after a few tries (and after knowing that I was supposed to use the mouse). I really liked the concept though, I think the message of the game was very clear and well delivered. I also think it's pretty well tuned after understanding the controls - I was never breezing through or feeling like it was too unfair. Good job ! |
| Oct 8 18:42:33 | 14h 06m | Uranium-236 | ♥ 1 | 9.3 billion kWh!! That one felt like a good run. I really like playing original ideas like these and trying to figure out what's going on, so this was quite fun. The game fits the theme very well - a few times the core was about to explode, camera shaking like crazy, the area is full of "hot" particles, and I just had to spam click around the code and pray that particles would cancel out and let the cold ones reach the middle. Very hectic, unstable vibe for sure! |
| Oct 8 23:23:16 | 4h 40m | Unfairly Unstable Unfun Game | ♥ 1 | Unfairly [x] Unstable [x] Unfun [ ] I felt afraid as I approached that continue sign... that falling platform there might be the most plain-looking and silent jump scare I've ever experienced, hahaha. So it was not Unfun, but rather quite an emotional journey! Good job with this. If you were going for rage-inducing gameplay, you clearly got it right. The main menu animations were a nice touch :) |
| Oct 9 00:20:45 | 57m 29s | Catastrophy | ♥ 2 | noooooooo I couldn't save them all 😠😠very cute game! As some people pointed out, the controls are a bit unforgiving sometimes and hard to use consistently, though I think if I spent a bit more time figuring out the best exact jump spots, I could have won. Nice work on the graphics & audio side of things, though! |
| Oct 9 00:32:15 | 11m 30s | Reactor | ♥ 1 | Super creative game! I like how there are two different gameplay "modes" for growing and shrinking, and each feels risky and rewarding in its own way. The controls were a bit hard to get used to, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. Also, it's a nice touch that the shapes and colors of the elements add up to their compounds/combined elements. Very cool overall! And nice soundtrack :) |
| Oct 9 00:38:07 | 5m 52s | Snake Using Windows | ♥ 1 | Hahahaha, this is amazing. Very creative way to re-implement a classic, and it actually feels surprisingly smooth considering what it is. Great twist to the theme. |
| Oct 9 02:37:14 | 1h 59m | Lightning Ball Rampage | ♥ 0 | The music goes very well with the theme and the kind of gameplay! I gotta agree with some of the other comments though that the gameplay feels kind of off when trying to control the ball. Other than that great job! |
| Oct 9 02:43:00 | 5m 46s | Stack Droid Saves The Party | ♥ 1 | What an amazing masterclass in aesthetics! Loved the intro screen, the text and in general the graphics. For some reason mouse sensitivity was almost unusable, but other than that it was pretty fun. |
| Oct 9 03:01:31 | 18m 31s | Drillbit Junker | ♥ 2 | Love the aesthetic. Had to restart a few times since i couldn't figure out what to do, but once i found the prompts it was golden. Would have loved some music, but all in all it was super fun to play! |
| Oct 9 09:13:28 | 6h 11m | Unstable cars | ♥ 0 | This was such a fun game! Feels really solid on the controls and the art looks really nice as well. It gets hard really quickly from level 1 to 2 which is fun but kind of overwhelming at first. Aside from that really great entry. I suggest putting some images in the description to get more playthroughs. |
| Oct 9 09:44:08 | 30m 40s | Ludumium | ♥ 1 | WOAH! Amazing idea, so addicting. Gameplay makes a lot of sense, chemistry is literally hard to handle. The simple graphic design is to the point, and the idea of introducing volatile elements that float up with the Bunsen burner is genius! Congratulations! Favorite entry so far. |
| Oct 9 10:04:24 | 20m 16s | Puzzled Love | ♥ 1 | Sad story, amazing concept of putting an unstable relationship together piece by piece. Art was very unique and music as well. Great entry! |
| Oct 21 00:02:59 | 277h 58m | 🕷💩Poopy Parker💩🕷 | ♥ 1 | Amazing entry, spent most of the time laughing at the sounds. Really appreciate the small details like the intro screen and the animations. Its a bit hard to get used to the physics of it, that could use a bit of tweaking. Found that spamming both clicks made Poopy Parker shoot turds like a machine gun. Accidental or not, that mechanic was so entertaining to do on its own. Great job!! |
