Oct 7 18:36:35 Crewman 49 ♥ 0 Really cool visuals and nice voiceovers. Loved the knockdown effects! The camera was way too wobbly and it made me uncomfortable. Was better once I stopped using A and D for strafing.
Oct 7 18:46:52 10m 17s Giant Horse Deathball ♥ 0 I have no idea what this was :) Hard to tell if I was using the controls as intended. Music was pretty cool though :D
Oct 7 18:56:51 9m 59s Our autopilot is somewhat unstable... ♥ 1 The controls are a bit clunky, lots of mouse clicking. I liked the presentation and the graphics. User interface could be smoother to use.
Oct 7 19:03:13 6m 22s Grim Tripper ♥ 1 No idea what this was but I had a laugh :D I just attached myself to the dudes and they'd run away killing themselves. Not sure if that's what I was supposed to do. Nice graphics and fun animations but not much in the way of gameplay.
Oct 7 19:12:53 9m 40s The Madness of Larry Donovan ♥ 0 I COULDN'T FIND THE TAZER OMGGG Tbh wasn't really sure what the goal was. It felt like I was just mindlessly exploring. Sometimes the monsters felt really easy to avoid, and other they'd just pummel you to death in an instant. I quite enjoyed the atmosphere!
Oct 7 19:19:23 6m 30s Scoop the Pool ♥ 1 Excellent production quality! The graphics was adorable and the GUI very aesthetically pleasing, albeit not immediately obvious. I wasn't really sure how the scoring worked or what the strategy was supposed to be like, so I just kept playing pretty much randomly, but was still quite fun :D
Oct 7 19:57:24 38m 01s House is not always a home ♥ 0 Really cool! The art was really fitting. Ended up playing the whole thing, though I got the bad ending :( Hard to judge the whole game since I've only seen one story path, but if there's one criticism is that at times I thought the story moved a bit slowly and at some point there didn't seem to be a clear direction to the plot. Good job though, doesn't seem to be easy to come up with IF during a jam!
Oct 7 20:49:24 52m 00s Picasso Bridge Disaster ♥ 1 Really cute! Collisions bugged out on the red and blue cars level. Couldn't get the bridge to stay up. But of course the wonkiness of physics is what makes these things super fun :D
Oct 7 21:13:10 23m 46s Girl in a red car ♥ 1 This was beautiful! Really well written and very intriguing. Commands were a bit long to type and it took me a while to realize I could use tab completion, but then it was quite smooth. Might have been cool to also use the typical one-letter shortcut aliases for the commands. Good game! The whole terminal realization was very well done and felt buttery smooth.
Oct 7 21:17:22 4m 12s Humble Homestead ♥ 0 Couldn't really figure out what to do! The camera scrolling was also very frustrating. It seemed like it could have been a good game!
Oct 7 21:28:43 11m 21s Hot nucleus ♥ 0 Very nice! Enjoyed playing. This forced me to use unfamiliar finger chords; very interesting! O and zero could have used a better font difference. Numbers were very awkward to use and made me realize how little I'm familiar with their positioning! Difficulty ramped up a bit slowly so playthrough is a bit drawn out and does not inspire a second attempt. Really liked the graphics and overall idea!
Oct 8 12:55:09 15h 26m Burning Down the House ♥ 2 Nice little game. I initially thought the red squares were the damage when it was really just the warning and that got me quite confused. Also wasn't sure shooting the fire was the correct thing to do at the start due to the lack of feedback that my shots were doing anything to the fire. Still managed to somehow beat the game on the first try!
Oct 8 13:03:14 8m 05s Okay & Alright ♥ 1 A very beautiful experience. Would have been perfect if not ruined by the painfully slow pacing! The visuals are so simple and yet so charming!
Oct 8 13:23:00 19m 46s SCANLINE ♥ 1 Very cute. Had to really turn on my brains for this one. Got stuck eventually anyway :( Really cool atmosphere!
Oct 8 13:30:50 7m 50s Gem of Stability ♥ 1 253 seconds. This was glorious! Everything feels just right. Great visuals and amazing sound design. At some point difficulty ramped up very quickly and was very difficult to keep up.
Oct 8 13:49:34 18m 44s Cryptomancer ♥ 0 I had very little idea of what was going on :)
Oct 8 13:53:17 3m 43s Hopper Unstable ♥ 1 So quick! The timer could have been less annoying without all those decimals. Graphics were really cute.
Oct 8 13:59:31 6m 14s Bad Buckets ♥ 1 Quite hard to play! Not being able to pickup buckets when dirty was a bit confusing, and getting dirty seemed a bit random. Took me a while to understand what was happening.
Oct 8 14:10:11 10m 40s Volatile Valkyrie ♥ 0 Very cute game. Lovely art and animations! Fighting the projectile monsters felt a bit annoying. Some of the controls like the down+attack seemed very unintuitive.
Oct 8 14:12:39 2m 28s Trick Or Retreat II ♥ 1 Cute! Very short but controls and gameplay felt quite nice.
Oct 8 14:18:14 5m 35s Gunslinger Glitch ♥ 1 I was CONSISTENTLY shooting humans omg. Game seemed quite well made and the elevator mechanic was quite interesting. Other than the frustration of not really knowing how to do better at the game it was quite nice.
Oct 8 14:23:32 5m 18s Un's Table ♥ 0 Very nice theme idea and quite funny! Gameplay itself is very clumsy and not very fun. Hard to control the characters, the food disappears, and clicks don't work as expected.
Oct 9 20:16:51 29h 53m Nails, the great genius ♥ 1 I loved the sound effects! Made me laugh a couple times. Controls are fine, but the drone having collisions was a little annoying. Overall quite fun to play. I got stuck at the level with the door and the two keys. I could not pick up the keys and couldn't continue.
Oct 9 20:22:29 5m 38s Ropy Woply Doo ♥ 1 The music is genius!! I absolutely loved it. The gameplay itself was very hard and a bit frustrating. I got really excited when I saw you the beams were changing planes but I couldn't get past that corner :(
Oct 9 20:34:47 12m 18s Crisis: Reactor ♥ 0 This was so immersive! Really well done. I failed 300k light years away from home :( Wasn't sure how to restore the pressure thing. I really liked the lights going on and off; that added so much to the experience.
Oct 9 20:45:25 10m 38s Unstable Matter ♥ 1 Really nice game idea! The music was really cool. Lots of that hero feel going on. It took me a while to figure out how to beat the last boss. Quite fun and appropriately challenging!
Oct 9 20:59:54 14m 29s 10 minutes to instability ♥ 1 Sound didn't work for me. Also didn't really know what to do :D
Oct 9 21:27:26 27m 32s Unstable Lava ♥ 0 I liked the lava effect! But I think overall, combined with the purple track, it was a little hard on the eyes. Gameplay wasn't too interesting. I think it might have been easier to navigate if there were more landmarks. The jump was quite handy and it saved me in a pinch a couple times.
Oct 10 20:35:03 23h 07m Grabanakki ♥ 0 Really cute game! The controls were a little difficult and the game felt more difficult than I initially imagined. Didn't end up being too fun as it was quite stressful due to the clunky controls.
Oct 10 21:19:12 44m 09s Badly Designed Cargo Delivery Pad ♥ 1 Cute idea. Game felt a bit too frustrating at times. Definitely a really good match for the theme!
Oct 10 21:59:07 39m 55s Politics and Power Grids ♥ 1 The setting was really interesting! I felt like a proper corrupt politician; my secret life dream :) I chuckled quite a bit reading the text. But the gameplay itself didn't feel very engaging and it was a little confusing. At some point I unexpectedly sold a million generators in one go and made lots of money which felt good. But no idea what I was doing really :)
Oct 12 20:17:32 46h 18m Cave Supply ♥ 1 Game works. But the gameplay gets repetitive very quickly and doesn't offer much in terms of fun! The explosion effects were very nice.
Oct 12 20:22:51 5m 19s Hard Drive Homicide ♥ 0 The linux build segfaults on my archlinux machine!
Oct 12 20:30:11 7m 20s Runstable ♥ 1 Really well done game! The controls work very smoothly and it makes for a very fun ninja-like experience.
Oct 12 21:05:49 35m 38s Noinun40 ♥ 1 The music was a little annoying :) Seemed like a very interesting concept. Took a minute to realize how to play. Not sure what the end goal was. Was expecting a score when the board was filled that would reflect the amount of instability.
Oct 12 21:20:04 14m 15s Unstable Prison ♥ 1 The ghosts were definitely VERY creepy. Really nice game though! Very well made and the atmosphere is really effective. Maybe some creepy bgm would have helped even more.
Oct 12 21:28:27 8m 23s Sir BaLancelot ♥ 1 Very nice game! Felt really fun to bash through the walls. The music was excellent and very fitting I found.
Oct 12 21:35:36 7m 09s Unstable Apocalypse ♥ 0 Gameplay wasn't too fun. The shooting felt nice but only with the rifle and the shotgun. But the handgun didn't feel very fun to use. The background sounds of the reactor (?) or alarm was a little annoying. Got to smash 106 zombies though!
Oct 13 20:01:01 22h 25m Oopsie Potion ♥ 1 Really cute graphics! Gameplay feels smooth enough but there seems to be little replay value. After completing the game a couple times there's not much else to do! The only complaint is that it's a little hard to tell where the acid is flying to.
Oct 13 20:09:12 8m 11s ....To the Ends of the World and Back ♥ 1 Potentially an interesting idea! But currently not too engaging and not very fun unfortunately :( I also had some problems with the mouse not getting grabbed correctly.
Oct 13 20:26:22 17m 10s Slime-a-pult ♥ 1 Very cute slime sprite! The controls worked ok but this type of game I always find a bit hard/annoying to play. Maybe the game was a little too long and monotonous. Could have been a little shorter or easier/faster to traverse to keep players more engaged.
Oct 13 20:50:04 23m 42s Unstable Core ♥ 1 Nice game! Ended up playing until 1156! Quite fun to figure out the best strategy.
Oct 13 21:17:12 27m 08s Rival Sniper ♥ 1 Really liked the setting and atmosphere! The theme of the sniper was really interesting although maybe not too fitting with the jam theme. Quite fun overall! Sometimes it was a little confusing to know what to do, and the text was hard to read.
Oct 14 20:30:13 23h 13m Domino Traverse ♥ 1 This was REALLY addicting. Wished there was a highscore counter so I could remember what my record was! Gameplay is really nice and smooth. The game has a high skill ceiling but very approachable entry-level. That makes it really good for replay value!
Oct 14 20:38:49 8m 36s AnoidBuild ♥ 0 Wasn't sure exactly which strategy I should have gone for to make the blocks stack up. It all seemed a bit random. At the end of the level the paddle gets stuck between all the blocks so at that point one just has to wait for the ball to finish the work and that can be a bit boring. It seems like an interesting idea but needs to be implemented with clearer gameplay.
Oct 14 20:44:14 5m 25s Arrithmetic ♥ 1 Got to the third equation. I consider this an achievement. The timer for the questions were REALLY short. WAY too short. It could have maybe started off slower and increased in difficulty with time.
Oct 14 20:51:48 7m 34s Chop and Sprout ♥ 1 This seemed quite interesting. I'm not sure if I actually won or not when I got the bulb on the green thing. It started changing colors but there was no win screen. The mechanic was quite novel, but I guess it needs a little bit more polishing to become a good game.
Oct 14 21:07:27 15m 39s Greedy Miner ♥ 1 The theme of having to rebuild after the disasters was really interesting! The game went on for a little too long but otherwise was quite fun.
Oct 14 21:45:51 38m 24s Nucleon Soup ♥ 0 Seemed like a very interesting idea. At the beginning I was trying to be careful about which particles to pick up but towards the end it was mostly random and I somehow managed to win. The music became a little uninteresting after a while, and I wished the atom would move a little faster maybe. I liked the simple graphics and overall it was quite intuitive gameplay to pickup.
Oct 19 20:22:45 118h 36m Spherry ♥ 1 The catballs are adorable. Ended up playing the game for a couple minutes. Gameplay feels smooth and intuitive. I didn't like the forced pause at the stage completion popup because I'd often mess up which direction to start with after the pause. With some music and maybe some difficulty ramp up this could be really entertaining!
Oct 19 20:50:33 27m 48s Cesium Factory ♥ 1 This was so fun once I figured out a good strategy! Actually managed to complete all levels. And it seems there are a few different strategies available, so it's quite fun to experiment. I thought the music wasn't very interesting. The crane was a little frustrating to control but it was getting more comfortable towards the end.
Oct 19 20:52:57 2m 24s Chain React TD ♥ 0 Didn't feel very fun to play and the pacing is very slow. There were way too many monsters for the effectiveness of the towers!
Oct 19 21:00:59 8m 02s BIG BAD LAB ♥ 1 Really cute graphics! I liked the minigames. I found the drawings of the arrow keys a little hard to read. And the wave matching felt a little glitchy visually. I didn't like how the same machine would break immediately after repairing it, and it made me second-guess whether my work had succeeded or not. It's quite fun at first but gets repetitive very soon. This could have been a lot more immersive with some 8bit music!
Oct 19 21:17:06 16m 07s Better Tomorrows ♥ 1 Really nice game! Somehow managed to do have very good immersion even without much in the way of sounds and music. The plot unfolding through letters is very well thought out. I did get arrested tho :( Overall the gameplay could have been made a little more engaging. Once you figure out how well the upgrades do you can just sit there and watch the money counter.
