| Oct 6 08:16:28 | Straight Through the Instability | ♥ 2 | Got 48, didn't manage to drop the boss :0 Definitely a fun & enjoyable entry and a game prototype that might be promising to continue working on. Well done! Some abilities to use would be fun as well. Double jumps, dashes, bounces to hit multiple platforms at once.. stuff like that. :) | |
| Oct 6 09:27:25 | 1h 10m | Snmuloc | ♥ 1 | Interesting to put a reverse spin on the match 3 mechanics! This makes it a bit hard to read though - I would recommend putting in some visual hints about what is encouraged and what not. Otherwise you're risking turning rewarding moments into unexpected "ok I think I did something right" ones. I wasn't sure what to do until the first pile of gems disappeared without an explosion. Aside from that, your visuals are nice and it's easy to pick up and play. These kinds of games always need a lot of eye candy rolling around and you still got room for that. But it's definitely a good entry and an interesting take on the theme. Well done! |
| Oct 6 09:40:19 | 12m 54s | RIFT | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is incredibly strong in its core idea and design. I like the symbols and overall style it goes for a lot. And I can see the mechanics as a solid base for any environment - it makes sense as a 2D black&white platformer, but could also be a 3D puzzle game or a puzzle dungeon in a top-down rpg. It's just a fun mechanic to play around with! What I missed was animation on the character and a bit of eye candy in general - not that there wasn't, the symbols and instable cubes did an amazing job - but it made me notice things like the character and lack of environment more. Showing later levels you can't jump to yet is pretty fun too - it creates a metroidvania vibe foreshadowing things yet to come. I guess games like these need a lot of testing for levels to really be on point, so I'm ok with some of the puzzles feeling a bit tedious with their waiting periods. It's impossible to finetune puzzle games in one weekend. But the ones you made were creative and showed your imagination. Cool entry! And definitely a prototype worth exploring further. |
