| Apr 5 09:39:11 | Don't Fall Asleep! | ♥ 3 | This took me way too long to finish (irl) XD in game time of 3h30, so not bad. I had a hard time understanding the logic behind the objects that makes you more sleepy or awake, some are pretty obvious, others are random. Once you know which is which, it becomes pretty easy, everything you need is in the bathroom, you don't really need to go anywhere else. The minigames were fun. The controls are a bit janky, like the very low mouse sensibility. But overall it's well polished. | |
| Apr 5 10:49:04 | 1h 09m | Click to Continue | ♥ 1 | It was pretty fun overrall. I won't say it gets boring after a time but you clearly feel the time passing after some point. The reaction of seeing what I'm gonna push next is the funniest, the voice acting is high quality but after some time it keeps being that same outrage reaction so I lost a little of interest in the narrator's reaction and I was more looking forward what the game would make me do. But I laughed a lot ! |
| Apr 5 11:22:01 | 32m 57s | Mow Bot | ♥ 1 | "I had this idea of having to eat to delay the inevitable starvation but that was very grim" You should have gone for it, it's a shame that your game has no link with the theme. Anyway, it was very fun, I didn't realise that you could step on stone until you stepped on grass for the first time. You should have some indicator for that, like the mow vibrating only when it's working. |
| Apr 5 11:26:25 | 4m 24s | Zombie, M.D. | ♥ 2 | The itch link doesn't work :( Maybe your page isn't public or you made a mistake ? |
| Apr 5 12:09:38 | 43m 13s | Gladiator Graveyard | ♥ 3 | Hey it was nice, my highscore is 63 tho I did only played 3 times. I appreciate the intro that can be skipped. I recorded a video, Dm me @ DarkPeace on the jam's discord if you wanna see it. |
| Apr 5 12:23:43 | 14m 05s | Snowmageddon | ♥ 1 | Fun overall :) But one thing, the random noise that goes like "tic tic tic tic tic tic", I found it absolutely infuriating for my ears ToT But that's all. |
| Apr 5 12:34:47 | 11m 04s | Reaplechase | ♥ 1 | Can't get better than 51, I recorded myself playing, you can message me on the Jam's discord @ Dark Peace if you wanna get the recording. Sometimes I feel like the characters are going through stuff, maybe it's just the perspective but I actually don't know because it feels like you could softlock the Death if you do it right. |
| Apr 5 12:53:47 | 19m 00s | Procrabstination | ♥ 3 | It was nice and very relatable. I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Maybe the music was a bit loud, I did not get what was on the radio. |
| Apr 5 13:07:11 | 13m 24s | Orange Mécanique | ♥ 2 | I found some collision bugs, I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord and I’ll send it to you. One tip I'd give would be to introduce the obstacles one by one instead of pure random, because once you know them all, it's fairly easy. |
| Apr 5 13:22:43 | 15m 32s | Morituri | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord and I’ll send it to you if you want. The "narrative experience" was promising but since it's not finished, yeaaaaah. I mean I'm sure you had a great vision. I didn't finish my narrative game either on my first GMTK jam, those things always take time. |
| Apr 5 13:34:54 | 12m 11s | Death's Gambit | ♥ 1 | I wish there was more power ups but at the same time, those were very well balanced so maybe it didn't need more. I like the laugh too. I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. |
| Apr 5 13:50:37 | 15m 43s | The Final Day | ♥ 1 | I found a bug to one shot enemies. It didn't happen during the boos though. I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Can the boss actually be beaten ? Like, theoratically ? |
| Apr 5 14:06:45 | 16m 08s | Space Voyager | ♥ 2 | And that's why I'm not a NASA operator. I couldn't do anything XD The gravity was pretty fun tho. |
| Apr 5 14:40:23 | 33m 38s | 22h38 | ♥ 4 | I think it's one of the best so far. I recorded my whole run, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was nice, cool story, cool concept, good humor, good music. But it got a bit long. Also at the end you straight up tell that the Factory is the cause of the problem. It's pretty obvious with the shrine text so you should trust the player to understand by themslves. But that's a detail. |
| Apr 5 14:59:15 | 18m 52s | PopCat Hoover Disaster | ♥ 2 | I read that as poop cat. I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. As I say in the video, it's actually an original take on the endless runner. But the things you can not/collide aren't very clear. |
| Apr 5 15:14:55 | 15m 40s | My happy weedy farm | ♥ 1 | Looks like I'm not the first one who found the bugs. Maybe next time XD It was fun, tho I was terrible at it. But it's an original take on the theme. |
| Apr 5 15:16:44 | 1m 49s | Catronaut | ♥ 0 | Build V2 got me "error: failed to load mono" I'm trying V1 |
| Apr 5 16:35:09 | 1h 18m | Alien Annihilation | ♥ 0 | So the walk animation sometimes continue when I'm standing still. And I have no idea what was happening for the entirety of the game. Like, I was just going from left to right and right to left over and over, it was empty and the objectives were just completing themselves. |
| Apr 5 16:47:14 | 12m 05s | Too Close | ♥ 1 | I didn't get what zap did. I mostly used the rock for everything. I like the procedural generation tho. But a lot was unintuitive imo. Like the fact that it unselect the item once you use it. Or that you can't outrun the flood. Those are neat concepts on their own but there, they were thrown all at once at the player and it makes it unintuitive. Introducing the cocnepts one by one with some clever level design would solve that though. |
| Apr 5 16:56:13 | 8m 59s | Unladen Penguin | ♥ 2 | That game was BRUTAL. The physic is well done. I thought it was an endless game but I read it actually has an ending. Maybe I'll retry later. |
| Apr 5 17:28:13 | 32m 00s | Timebound | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I think the concept is good but the visual design makes it confusing. I see you added a lot of effects but with the rapid movement of the game and the screenshake, you can't see what icon the enemies have on them so you can't really see who is who. You culd at least change their shape or color. For the different enemies like the different weapons, I can see some differences but not that much, it can be tied to the fact that all the bullets have the same color. It's confusing. Also it always spawns kill, you should add some safe time at the beginning. I would calm down on the shaking too, maybe only when you take damage. |
| Apr 5 17:54:10 | 25m 57s | Comet | ♥ 1 | Pretty pixel art, well polished. I liked everything except that little slime that can pop out of the meteors. It's very rare but too punishing imo. |
| Apr 5 18:05:31 | 11m 21s | Dads don't die | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. This was so great. I loved it ! The photo album was a good idea too. And the music was neat. |
| Apr 5 18:13:42 | 8m 11s | Mr. Final Boss | ♥ 1 | Underrated gem here. The art is awesome and the idea is awesome + funny + meta. The fire slash power is an absolute scam tho. |
| Apr 5 18:16:14 | 2m 32s | Great Escape | ♥ 0 | My pc doesn't even want to download because "virus detected". Windows defender being annoying again... |
| Apr 5 18:24:37 | 8m 23s | DIZT | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I found a way to go out of bounds and it was pretty funny. Nice game overrall, except when the camera prevents you from seeing a zombie. |
| Apr 6 08:13:47 | 13h 49m | Human Resource | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I had some trouble seeing where the icons of the things I needed to do popped. Idk why, maybe because everything is colorful. Maybe they could have a more energic spawn animation. |
| Apr 6 08:27:27 | 13m 40s | Tick | ♥ 3 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was cool, I'm not sure why we need to press E, I feel like you could just pass on the area. Also I'd have liked to read the text but it's impossible to do while playing. |
| Apr 6 08:38:51 | 11m 24s | Circuits | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was pretty fun but I think I had a bug at the end, it just made me lose instantly. Also "virus loading" sould be outside the textbox so it's not mistaken with the name of who is speaking. And the games shouldn't start while someone is talking. |
| Apr 6 08:58:02 | 19m 11s | Horde of Methuselah | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I had trouble understanding the mechanics, granted I did not read the page the first time but I generally assume there's an in-game tuto XD Anyway, you can get stuck when you don't have enough wood and you can't do anything anymore. Except that I got like infinite food, which technically means I won ? It was fun but just fix the stuck part (and fix the text in the buttons, it could all fit it) |
| Apr 6 15:46:00 | 6h 47m | From Beyond The Stars | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was a fun game, plus the tuto was good AND skippable. |
| Apr 6 15:54:55 | 8m 55s | Battery Low | ♥ 5 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I liked everything excpet for the ending where you have to get to somewhere else after getting all the artifacts. You have no way to know where the ending is before getting it, so you can't optimise your run to leave enough battery to go there. |
| Apr 6 15:58:02 | 3m 07s | Steady Birds | ♥ 2 | Idk if there's a way to stop the castor, I guess the fall is inevitable but it was pretty quick. |
| Apr 6 16:11:21 | 13m 19s | Super Mowser Bros | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I loved the game but I stopped playing when I saw I wouldn't lose anyway. |
| Apr 6 16:14:55 | 3m 34s | Space Ninja | ♥ 1 | I also had lag problems on my brand new computer so maybe you should look into that. My game was laggy on loading so I know it's hard to fix. |
| Apr 6 16:24:42 | 9m 47s | Extreme Plant Sitter | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I had no trouble going through the game until I decided that I wanted to have fun and use the poison or what I thought was an explosive. It was fun until I realised there was no checkpoint. Which I did not understand since you KNOW players are gonna want to do something bad for the fun. So WHY would you punish them by making them redo the whole thing ?? What is the point of the poison can ?? |
| Apr 6 16:33:18 | 8m 36s | Time's... Up! | ♥ 1 | Nice, I have some details to point out tho. The coins weren't aligned, it's just a lack of polishing but sometimes I couldn't grab coins because of that offset. Also you can't see the traps below you and since you start on top and have to go down, it's annoying. |
| Apr 6 17:00:27 | 27m 09s | Revenge is Inevitable | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was one of the best games I've played, the clicking mech, though not perfect, was very original ! I made a lot of comments in my video that I don't have the time writing here so contact me on Discord. |
| Apr 6 17:10:54 | 10m 27s | Un-Rooted | ♥ 3 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. This game is the definition of unexpected. From the character creator (why in a gamejam ?? XD) to absolutely everything that this game was. I just dont understand how you can water the plant without touching the desk and making it fall. I think that mechanic should be dropped, the coworkers survival is hard enough. |
| Apr 6 17:11:34 | 40s | Stay Afloat | ♥ 1 | Looks like people have been able to play it. For me it freezes at 90% loading screen. |
| Apr 6 17:32:16 | 20m 42s | Sorcery's End | ♥ 3 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. The first time the game loads, it seems that you spawn quiet far away from the tower and I didn't find it until the monsters attacked. After a restart, it's fine though.The game is not very interractive and it's a pretty generic tower defense. The random gen is nice but it didn't feel like it played a big role. The monsters can walk on grass and on sand. I liked that the mine makes a big explosion and can destroy multiple enemies. |
| Apr 6 17:37:11 | 4m 55s | The Bay of the Ineffable | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I didn't really got how it was possible, it feels like you really can't do anything. I mean that might be the point but I can't last longer than a min so idk. |
| Apr 6 17:54:52 | 17m 41s | Coyote Time Lord | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Lvl 4 beat me but I take that as an attack on my intelligence so I'm not giving up. Only taking a strategic break XD As a game designer, I can recognise good puzzle design when I see it tho. It's a shame that the visuals aren't quiet there. Also, the fact that sometimes you can climb the crates and sometimes not... well I see when you can/t but it doesn't seem very logic. |
| Apr 6 18:15:02 | 20m 10s | Graveyard Path | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was nice, I finished it. You should cut the section when you fall and there's random spikes that you can't see, it's not platforming, it's not puzzle, it's not fun. I like that the roses were used for multiple things, it gives a kind of unity. |
| Apr 6 18:24:05 | 9m 03s | Sunday Traffic | ♥ 2 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. The design of this game is incredible. It should be so stressful but it's not ! There's so many stressful games in this jam, at least that's the intention, but yours made the most stressful thing into something chill ! The globe was very cool too, you could have done the game without it, but you went out of the way to find this mechanic that makes the game 2 times as cool. |
| Apr 7 07:04:29 | 12h 40m | Energy tower defence | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I liked the graphics a lot. I felt like the enemies' hitbox was quiet small, sometimes a bullet passes on their side and I felt like it should've hit them. |
| Apr 7 07:16:35 | 12m 06s | Hostile Life | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I loved the glitchy graphics. I got a bug where going on a tree's roots send you off in the air at hyper speed. Also I have no idea how the crates / plants growing works but I got to survive a bit. |
| Apr 7 07:33:21 | 16m 46s | Heaven Fallen | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. This is really good but I got f* up by the metal spawning way too late. I was ready to build metal stuff but got no metal, and the time metal arrived, my units didn't survive. |
| Apr 7 07:46:27 | 13m 06s | Farewell | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I got some bugs but it wasn't annoying, just amusing. The only bad thing is the mother just traversing the screen at hyperspeed. There's no way to avoid her when you have a full party. |
| Apr 7 07:53:54 | 7m 27s | Untitled Shooty Game | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I got a random boss spawning when I restarted a run, idk if it's normal. It was a pretty cool game tho. |
| Apr 7 08:01:42 | 7m 48s | Last Moment | ♥ 2 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Reading the comments, I'm not sure I truly got what the game wanted me to do but I tried to go right and at a certain point, there was like, a collision problem with one of the animals so the others couldn't mount on them. So I wasn't able to go pass the mountain, I don't thinkg I got pretty far into the game. |
| Apr 7 08:16:16 | 14m 34s | Ultimate Mushroom Damocles Revenger | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I have no idea how you're supposed to dodge anything, the knifes are sync to the music but there doesn't seem to be any coherent pattern or way to guess where to go to be safe. Plus the hitboxe isn't very clear, I'm always hit when I think I'm safe and the 3D doesn't make it more obvious with the perspective. I couldn't pass stage 1. I think the game wouldn't been 3 times better with 2D pixel arts than 3D, even tho your graphics are sick. |
| Apr 7 08:27:15 | 10m 59s | Cleric Wanted | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. It was pretty enjoyable until I died randomly with half health at fight 5 I think. |
| Apr 7 08:37:22 | 10m 07s | WE ARE DOOMED | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I didn't have too much problems with the mouse controls tbh. But there just wasn't a lot going on. Sometimes a lot of things happened at the same time but sometimes I was just spining the globe, looking for soemthing to do. |
| Apr 7 08:42:38 | 5m 16s | Lokat's Revenge | ♥ 2 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I think the very first cat should always spawn on the first screen, so players can't die right away without seeing anything. You should also add arrows on screen to remind that you can change room. Also after a time, it's totally impossible to stop the cat if you're not on the good screen. Yes, it's inevitable but it's pretty short. But it was fun too. |
| Apr 7 08:53:08 | 10m 30s | Into The Light | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Everything was fun and games until the eldritch mantis one shot me XD Nice concept tho |
| Apr 7 09:04:23 | 11m 15s | Mages and Essay Pages | ♥ 1 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. I really liked the idea of using RPG card in real life, it's one of my favorite concept in this jam. But I got a bug, after my first run, I couldn't kill any more mages. So the game just became insanely hard. One thing that would bring the game to another level would be controlling the randomness, for example : giving more "resotre health" cards when the player is on low health etc |
| Apr 7 09:17:54 | 13m 31s | == Catchbot Tournament == | ♥ 2 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. The concept is very cool qnd original. I'd like more infos on the stuff I'm placing on the arena tho. Nothing worked as I thought. Actually, my best round was where the arena was empty XD |
| Apr 7 09:32:49 | 14m 55s | Somnipathy | ♥ 4 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. The art is fantastic, and the text is probably pretty good too. Probably, because the only way to escape the mosnter is to rush and skip the text as fast as possible. I would even say that skipping the text and choosing the dialog option the fastest possible is the core gameplay. Also it's made harder by the fact that the objetcs' hitbox is pretty janky. Like I got than the yellow line means that you're gonna interract with the object while the blue is just movement but targeting the object is pretty not always easy and sometimes I'm just beside it and it doesn't interract. I do like the "click to move tag", very good tutorial. But there's not much tutorial for anything else, I had no idea what was going on with the monster and the gauge and tbh, I don't know what makes the game end. Apparently some items are good and some aren't but without reading the text it's quiet hard to figure out. |
| Apr 7 09:45:37 | 12m 48s | Closed Circle | ♥ 0 | I recorded myself playing, message me on the Jam’s discord @ Dark Peace and I’ll send it to you. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I found the door, I opened the chests, but there's no way I'm gonna break all the rocks one by one. Also the enemies aren't really dealing damage, which is good because they can't be avoided when they're in the entrance of a room, neither when you open a chest and stand still 5 sec so the enemies cna reach you. Can you tell me what I have to do ? I could replay. |
| Apr 7 13:06:46 | 3h 21m | Decay Season | ♥ 1 | I recorded my playthrough, you'll be able to find it on my youtube channel once I'll be done playing games : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGSR_DYUY_BQIsujY2QXpg It was nice, but it got repetitive pretty quickly. I suggest putting less food, as I never got below 10, I could just run through the levels without making any hard decision. |
| Apr 7 13:11:03 | 4m 17s | The Railroad to Elsewhere | ♥ 1 | I recorded my playthrough, you’ll be able to find it on my youtube channel once I’ll be done playing games : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGSR_DYUY_BQIsujY2QXpg It was my favorite game so far ! It was charming and had great storytelling ! It reminded me of a game I made for the IndieTale Jam : https://bottled-up-studio.itch.io/last-ticket-for-eternity |
| Apr 7 13:28:15 | 17m 12s | Seed Of Time | ♥ 1 | I recorded my playthrough, you’ll be able to find it on my youtube channel once I’ll be done playing games : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGSR_DYUY_BQIsujY2QXpg This was one of my favorite, form the artstyle to the general feel. The level design was really good at certain points and not so much at others but I generally felt like you knew what you were doing. Still, the lacks of checkpoint made me quit after loosing too much on level 2. |
| Apr 7 18:38:57 | 5h 10m | You Will Fall | ♥ 3 | A masterpiece, and it was to be expected. I recorded my playthrough and I'll post it to my youtube channel with all my other recordings : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcGSR_DYUY_BQIsujY2QXpg I liked it a lot, I didn't expect to go very far but I actually got to 28m. I also thought earing the same voice lines every time would be annoying, but after a moment you're just too focused to notice. I also made a prtty good run while thinking about something else and not paying attention XD I was probably subconsciously paying attention. |
