| Oct 8 19:08:13 | HOTFIX | ♥ 2 | The idea works really well for the theme, but I do think the game moved too fast for it to be as effective in it's humor as it could be. It would probably help if the email prompts stayed up for a couple more seconds. I get that chaos is suppose to be part of it, but I think most stuff will go over peoples heads if they don't get a chance to get their bearings, at least initially. Maybe give the earlier quests more time than the later ones? | |
| Oct 9 16:17:08 | 21h 08m | In Balance | ♥ 3 | The combat has interesting mechanics, but it's probably too much for a player to grasp in such a short time. It took me a few times to even realize that the cat keeps attacking after a successful attack. It would help to have the elements with their keys listed somewhere in the UI. The graphics are overall well made, but not as cohesive as they could be(I would assume multiple artists). The audio is also pretty good. Overall it's a neat jam entry. With some more work and polish, the combat could be pretty fun. |
| Oct 11 23:14:13 | 54h 57m | Weather Control Device | ♥ 2 | The graphics and weather effects are neat. I also liked the illumination effect. Like others have said, it could use more UI and feedback mechanics. I especially noticed the lack of a health bar. In a pinch, I think even text would be acceptable to show health. The bullets could have also used some kind of feedback mechanism(ie. sound or the enemy flashing when hit). They were also simply quite small to see. Overall it's decent enough for a compo game. Just needed a couple basic elements added in. |
| Oct 11 23:22:35 | 8m 22s | I can't remember | ♥ 1 | Nice job on the atmosphere! The audio and the glitchy graphics work well. Only notable issue I really had was the collision with the floating ghost. Got stuck against the wall one time before I even saw him. All around though it's a pretty solid game. |
| Oct 14 01:25:20 | 50h 02m | Toil and Trouble | ♥ 2 | Very cute little game! I really like the moving leaves background. The audio and atmosphere is very charming too. The movement going through doors did feel a bit clunky. Same with how the ingredients go into the pot. Drag and drop would have felt a bit more natural for that. Only other issue is it felt like some of the text was missing or something? Like I don't know why I suddenly needed a gravity stone. Did I miss a conversation with the cat? Other than those minor issues this game is really solid. Awesome work on this, I really enjoyed playing! |
| Oct 16 15:46:28 | 62h 21m | Ecotopia | ♥ 0 | Neat little game! The graphics are really cute and I like the music. I do think the game could use some more feedback for the player. It's hard to really know how many tigers or sheep are left with such a limited camera view. It's also difficult to figure out how much each living thing is breeding as it goes so fast. It's a nice concept though. With a bit more work it could be even more fun. |
| Oct 16 18:28:53 | 2h 42m | Destructo | ♥ 1 | This really looks like it was a lot of work for one person. The base mechanics are fun too. The audio is simple, but works well. The graphics are nice as well. Only thing I'd complain about for visuals is the smaller script font in the menu. It's not the easiest to read. I did encounter a couple bugs. The first time I played and the first level, I did not receive any gold or xp. I think I had killed 2 enemies and got 1 chest. The other bug that stood out was when the character was surrounded by fallen land, all the actions vanished. Shouldn't it have just gone to game over? Overall it's a nice jam entry. The mechanics are fun enough that it would be nice to see a more fleshed out version. |
| Oct 21 17:11:31 | 118h 42m | fixOS | ♥ 1 | Really intesting game concept! I had the progress bar over halfway. I kind of wonder if I screwed up something early on before I understood the controls. I'm not sure if it would dumb it down too much, but if the crash error said what folder was the culprit, that probably would help stragglers like me. Otherwise though I really enjoyed playing this game. It fit the theme well and it's well made. Nice job! |
| Oct 21 18:53:20 | 1h 41m | Happy Glasses | ♥ 1 | Surprisingly fun for such a simple little game. If anything the levels were a bit too easy, but that's not a bad thing for LD. Nice job! |
| Oct 21 19:10:17 | 16m 57s | The Mines | ♥ 1 | The audio and the lighting set a nice atmosphere. I did have a ghost spawn right on top of me and pretty much instantly lost. It's a little hard to tell how far you've dug with how the graphics look. Maybe a rock crumbling animation would help? The game could use a bit more work, but it's decent for a jam. |
| Oct 21 19:18:57 | 8m 40s | Uns' Table | ♥ 0 | Fun game, but I do wish the table was a bit less stable. |
| Oct 21 19:29:05 | 10m 08s | Diamonds in the Rough | ♥ 1 | A little more complicated than expected for LD, but it doesn't take too long to get the hang of it. As someone else mentioned, I wonder if not taking a turn for the magnify glass would make a bit more useful at the start? Still it's a neat game that makes people think. Nice job! |
