Apr 4 07:49:03 Game Launch Delay Announcement Generator ♥ 1 Really liked it! Clever take on the theme in my opinion.
Apr 4 17:54:14 10h 05m Cold and Alone ♥ 1 I really love the graphics, 10 out of 10. Gameplay feels good until you get to the end game, as was mentioned before. The amount of batteries is maybe too much compared to what you can do with them. I wish the game had some sort of ambience and perhaps a rover engine sound. Good job!
Apr 5 06:41:38 12h 47m The Last Church ♥ 4 Very enjoyable game, had a blast playing it! I think you match perfectly the visuals with audio for the atmosphere. I decided to see how much I learn from just playing the game (ignoring instructions on this page) and gate repair confused me, probably because I saw a glimpse that you can upgrade and hammer icon has been used for that in other games. Maybe adding a gate with it could telegraph better its purpose. You could consider including the turret upgrade cost to the actual upgrade button. Otherwise the button is pretty small and you might miss it in the heat of battle. Great game, I think I'll play one more round... :D
Apr 5 07:30:12 48m 34s just drive. ♥ 1 Liked the atmosphere! Just chilling and driving. But I wish you could actually do more in it and the game would engage the player more. Moving the car feels really heavy and I ended up doing nothing at all. I have to commend the menu you did, it's impressive. Good job!
Apr 5 07:45:25 15m 13s The Final Day ♥ 1 Nice game. I liked the looks of UI and enemies. I feel the pace could be faster, though. Takes a good while to get started. I feel this a jam specific thing. You want to get into the meat of the game fast. I didn't hear any music, but maybe I didn't get far enough? EDIT: If you can enable full screening the game, it would be great. I was having some difficulties reading. Good job with the piece!
Apr 5 08:02:30 17m 05s Slime Survivor ♥ 1 The game looks fun, but I'm having issues running it on my PC (anti-virus blocks). Can you make a web build?
Apr 5 08:17:10 14m 40s ENTROPY ♥ 0 Great game. Challenging but enjoyable. Appreciate the drumming :D This reminds me of older PC games in a good way.
Apr 5 08:25:53 8m 43s Keep It Warm ♥ 1 Nice game! Well executed. Juggling between the tasks was fun. Quite moody as well.
Apr 5 08:47:54 22m 01s Growing up ♥ 3 What a lovely game. Enjoyed the story, although I wanted a different ending haha. The text overflows outside the window here and there and I got stuck in the kitchen, pushing the chair wrong way. Didn't install any fonts and I would recommend not requiring the player to do so, no other game does. Good job!
Apr 5 10:43:00 1h 55m Bloodlust ♥ 1 Nice game. Nice touch with the day/night cycle. Graphics looked good. Gameplay wise I liked the weapon switching. Hiding was a good idea in theory, but I didn't see a reason to do it. Good job overall!
Apr 6 06:50:24 20h 07m Gate Keeper ♥ 1 Nice, polished game. Great graphics and quite challenging gameplay. My only gripe is clicking and selecting things outside the game window when aiming, causing frustration. But I'm pretty sure that's on me.
Apr 6 08:06:25 1h 16m B-Game ♥ 1 Cute game! I really enjoyed the graphics and the music fit the mood perfectly. I was having trouble understanding what was going and I feel it would be clearer if the game was zoomed out a bit. The levels felt very RNG heavy and sometimes you had no chance of winning because next flower batch was miles away. It seems the game starts during the load and you can miss the action, only hearing the sfx. Something I would prefer to experience myself. Good job!
Apr 6 09:47:51 1h 41m Whoa! It's like a space game or something! ♥ 1 Nice, vast universe you have here! I enjoyed the graphics and the good tunes. I'm unsure how your ship upgrades, as it seems to just happen. And as far as game feedback goes, I think it would be nice to hear or see when any action is done. Like hearing the trade happen etc. Appreciated the control customization and that you address them in the tutorial. The tutorial was ok for the first time, but the amount of text gets tedious when you come back and try the game again. The text was slightly too small for my taste and could use some background to help readability. Overall it seems you got a lot going on here and that's impressive. Good job!
Apr 7 06:17:31 20h 29m My happy weedy farm ♥ 1 Cute farming game. The otherwise relaxing atmosphere is stirred with intense weed picking and deliveries to fulfill. Maybe the pace could be slow at first to get a hold of the mechanics and slowly pick up the pace as the farm grows.
Apr 7 06:22:49 5m 18s Timeless ♥ 1 Can't run the game, I think GM games in general are blocked by anti-virus and can't get past it. Is it possible to build a web version?
Apr 9 07:17:19 48h 54m darkwalker ♥ 1 Very interesting concept. The sniffing got kinda repetitive after a while, especially when the thing was circling around you for a while and you couldn't do anything. Appreciate the audio design otherwise. There were quite a lot of transmitters and around mid-way I was wondering whether the game had an ending or not :D Maybe there could be less of them due the slow pace. Or indicate somehow where you are in the progress every now and then? I thought I beat the game at power supply but got the game over screen instead. Didn't hear anything near me. Good job, very different approach than usual!
Apr 9 07:27:13 9m 54s Estrella ♥ 1 Great game! Good visuals and feels very polished for a compo game. The difficulty seems to ramp quite fast, though. Couldn't quite keep up. Not seeing the spaces you had to type visually threw me off and escalated my doom. Good job!
Apr 9 07:41:27 14m 14s FlowerPower ♥ 1 Relaxing and chill game, just what you look for in a farming game imo. Very solid game overall, good job!
Apr 9 07:49:00 7m 33s Void Prison ♥ 2 This game is great! Nice take on the theme. I love the visuals and the up-beat music. It's very fun, enjoyed it!
Apr 9 08:02:43 13m 43s The Last Savior ♥ 2 Very enjoyable hack and slash. Gameplay felt smooth and flowing. The different types of attacks and the enemy colorization indicating their weakness are a nice touch and give depth to the game. Good music choices as well, giving that epic battle feel. Sadly my monitor was not big enough for the game so I couldn't enjoy it in fully. And love the intro! Good job!
Apr 9 08:15:54 13m 11s Alien Annihilation ♥ 0 I feel the interaction doesn't quite work. I tried to buy a cow farm but it didn't appear to do anything. The game could give proper feedback on what's going on. A lot of the time I was unsure if the game was done or something was happening. Depending what you aimed for, I suppose some filling bar or even text would help the player to know what's going on. And sounds! Sound effects are very effective feedback to player as well, even with low effort. I liked the turning left animation, wish that applied to both sides. Well done!
Apr 17 07:00:00 190h 44m DLAY's Buffet ♥ 1 I like the design of the take away cup deity. Graphics are quite nice overall, actually. Love the drums. I only checked the controls from description and assumed golden sheep doing extra damage, didn't realize they heal :D One thing to consider, in my opinion, is giving feedback when taking damage. Without it you can end up dead without knowing it. Good job!
Apr 17 07:15:29 15m 29s Wither ♥ 1 Nice game, I like it! Couple things caught my attention. First, the difficulty ramps quite quick and you're overwhelmed by bugs during the first day. And secondly, I wish you wouldn't have to go through the watering process, if the plant is already dead. It's disappointing when you're in a critical situation and you try to save a plant - only to find out there's nothing you can do to save it and you wasted time. Then again, I guess that's kind of the point of the game, huh. On the other hand I like the upgrades and the very simple controls. Good job!
Apr 17 07:30:32 15m 03s Game User Experience Manager Simulator ♥ 1 I had some trouble keeping up with the text and then deciding what to do. Other than that the game feels interesting and has a unique concept. When booting up, I was waiting for a boot sounds, not the basic selection beep. Great job!
Apr 17 08:06:55 36m 23s Clone Frenzy ♥ 1 Nice game! I feel the music fits the erratic tone of the game. I assumed the clones would mimic my movement and/or spawn on my spawn point and do that. As already has been said, the movement of copies is kind of unpredictable. I also found the top left being the safest spot on the map. Good job with the entry!
Apr 17 08:19:29 12m 34s mote ♥ 1 Beautiful game! Loved the harmony of graphics and music, great job on both aspects. I felt the game had a decreasing difficulty, since existing wasn't a problem after the first level. I loved how you played around with the audio space. I think there should've been a fade on the music when you stop moving in the last level, the clear cut doesn't fit the rest of the game. Great stuff, quite enjoyable!
Apr 17 08:32:19 12m 50s FINAL BONES ♥ 1 Good game! The visuals are great and I appreciate the puns. I feel the music keeps up with the mood as well. The gameplay didn't allow me to analyze the available skills so I used them half randomly. I think the cooldowns were too long, would be more fun to spam more spells! I didn't quite understand what launches the intermission scene. First I thought it was game over, but then the game kept going. Others have also raised good points for improvements. Lots of good stuff here, hope you do more with the game!
Apr 21 15:07:48 102h 35m Wizardfall ♥ 0 Short and sweet! Loved the graphics and the different ways to deal with the conflict. Nothing wrong with the music either, but I think it could've been slightly more dramatic or upbeat.
Apr 21 15:50:47 42m 59s Lovers Defence ♥ 1 Lovely game! I liked the graphics, the animations and the music. And it had a lovely little story to tell as well. Gameplay wise I had some issues understanding the controls first. I usually try to see how well the game gives you instructions without relying on the rules and guides in the game page. Once I checked what did what, it was okay. Other thing was the lack of information about the units. I feel usually players would want to strategize their next move in tower defense games. It can also leave the player frustrated if - for example - they don't know where they can place their units and there is no indication of it either. Very cool entry in any case! Oh, and I liked how you change the music over the levels. Nice touch. Good job!
Apr 21 16:46:34 55m 47s Hearts Ablaze ♥ 0 Damn, such a fun game! Loving it in every aspect. I was having trouble getting the character to move and thought stationary gameplay was a feature... :D
Apr 21 17:11:27 24m 53s Mama ♥ 0 Loved the concept and the atmosphere. The music set the mood straight away. I expected to game over as a little dragon if I hit the vines, but for better or worse it didn't happen. The vine collision wasn't what I expected, but I appreciate how you did them, making them twitch. Early game (first minutes) felt quite easy. I don't think it's a bad thing, though, since the mood is very calm anyway.
Apr 21 17:23:05 11m 38s Duck It! ♥ 0 Great art and music! Loving the concept. I don't know what's wrong with my controls, but couldn't find any other actions than moving and jumping. And that didn't get me far. But it seems others got it working so great! I feel the intro could start the text automatically and fill just like in-game.
Apr 21 17:42:07 19m 02s Somnipathy ♥ 2 Very solid entry! I liked it overall, the graphics, the music and designs (especially the chasing one). You captured the creepy atmosphere for sure. I feel the interactable objects could have had a slightly bigger collider. Good job!
Apr 21 17:58:21 16m 14s The Death Delayer ♥ 1 Neat game! The concept is great, unfortunate you couldn't implement the tasting part. I like how the wizard follows the projectiles, and the eye interaction altogether actually. If something, I wish you had more power in the shot when charged. Good job!
