Apr 5 07:34:16 save me ♥ 1 Had a lot of fun with this, really liked the style of the game. It got quite chaotic towards the end!
Apr 5 07:45:23 11m 07s Executioner Must Be Present ♥ 1 Has a really cool style, both visually and in terms of audio it's great. Shooting feels really nice and solid and the explosions were very satisfying. Overall, a bunch of fun!
Apr 5 07:52:58 7m 35s Don't Drink and Dive ♥ 3 Very unique take on the theme, and honestly just very funny! Art is great, I especially love the sealife (That jellyfish animation is amazing!). Love the music too, very nice contrast from the boat to the more atmospheric underwater track. Swimming feels good and exploring around the place is a lot of fun. Good job!
Apr 5 08:20:15 27m 17s Precious Sleep ♥ 3 This is really cool, very unique art style that I think really captures the dream like concept. Feels good to play, it's satisfying to blow up the demons with the bombs. Maybe I'm just not very good but I did like how quick the rounds were, made it nice and easy to go again and try and beat my previous score. 104 was my record! Also, the inbox is too real!
Apr 5 08:51:20 31m 05s What Have You Drawn? ♥ 5 This is really great! It looks and sounds amazing, the animations especially are fantastic. It feels good to move and the shooting is nice and satisfying. Everything is stylish and it all really comes together. Excellent job!
Apr 5 09:23:30 32m 10s Domotichaos ♥ 2 Very impressive to get something like this made in such a small amount of time, it all looks great! Fun concept and a nice take on the theme. Best part is the dancing Grandad at the start though, I could watch him for days!
Apr 5 09:31:03 7m 33s Punch Bean and the Legend of the Gold Coins ♥ 1 Mario who? Punch bean is where it's at! Great job, fun to play/explore and I love the character.
Apr 5 14:17:13 4h 46m Neon Meltdown ♥ 1 The game does a great job with it's VR/cyber aesthetic - the ships, bullets, UI all look very cohesive and the soundtrack really fits in as well. Feels fun to move and shoot, very satisfying when you manage to narrowly dodge an enemy. Like the upgrades too!
Apr 5 14:29:16 12m 03s Foster The Beeples ♥ 2 RIP Alfonso, sorry you never made it to your third Schmeckledorf birthday, buddy. Great game, honestly love everything about it, it's the longest I've spent playing one of the jam games so far!
Apr 5 14:43:13 13m 57s Rifthoppers ♥ 1 There's a lot of great stuff here. It looks amazing, really nice sprites, animations and effects but it also plays really well too. The roar is the perfect secondary ability, really coming in handy with how chaotic it can get at times. Think the upgrades are really good too and I appreciate how quickly they come through, means you're constantly being rewarded. Great job with this one!
Apr 5 14:51:31 8m 18s Mages and Essay Pages ♥ 1 This is such a great concept. The card game part especially is a lot of fun and even just with a few runs I got to see some clever combinations. It looks great as well, really nice spritework here. Would be very interested in playing something like this if it made it to a full release!
Apr 5 15:17:13 25m 42s Misfortune in the Galaxy ♥ 1 This is seriously impressive for a game jam game! Would honestly love a full game like this, just chilling being a cool space janitor fixing loads of stuff, it was all very satisfying to fix. Looks and sounds great and the intro got a huge laugh out of me. Amazing job.
Apr 6 08:01:10 16h 43m Under the Moon ♥ 1 Had a lot of fun with this one! Enjoy a good tower defense game and impressed that this one is so robust and well designed considering the time limit!
Apr 6 08:13:31 12m 21s Dungeon Escape ♥ 1 Great entry and really impressive that you made it yourself within 48 hours. Love the art style especially, it's really polished. I do agree with what others said about difficulty but not an easy task to balance things properly in such a short amount of time.
Apr 6 08:17:12 3m 41s TO THE DEATH (Definitely not a psyche experiment) ♥ 1 Amazing! Has to be best use of theme I've came across so far and can't see it being topped! Gave me a good laugh so thanks for that.
Apr 7 10:00:40 25h 43m 100 Seconds to Midnight ♥ 5 This is really cool! Really like the style and think the audio (spoken and music) do a really good job in setting the tone of the game. Having the four resources to manage is a good amount, it felt balanced in the right way - I tried a few runs where I focused on one specific resource and it always ended badly but did much better when trying to do things more evenly.
Apr 10 10:28:00 72h 27m Different Strokes ♥ 4 Echoing what everyone else is saying but this is really an amazing experience. If I didn't go in knowing it was a game jam game I'd have never even known it. Such a great idea that ties everything together so well - the writing, art, sound all come together and really set the tone. You should all be very proud of this!
Apr 10 10:29:15 1m 15s Click to Continue ♥ 1 Had a lot of fun with this one! Great sense of humour and a really clever idea.
Apr 10 10:54:28 25m 13s The Last Tower ♥ 1 I played this for way longer than I expected to, had an absolute blast! Shop/upgrade system works really well and I love how much variety there is with the wizards. Really impressive that there's so much here for a game jam game, well done!
Apr 10 11:26:54 32m 26s Five Knights in France ♥ 1 It looks and sounds amazing and I thought it was a really unique take on a stealth game. The difficulty curve was spot on, the first night only having one knight let me search through furniture and figure out the layout of the map so when it got more intense later I knew what I was doing. And it really did get intense towards the end, had a few narrow escapes where knights were chasing me down corridors into other knights but managed to escape and grab the chocolate in the end! Really enjoyed this one, great job!
Apr 10 11:34:29 7m 35s SensenCemetery ♥ 1 Well this is genuinely terrifying! The music was perfect in building up the tension, gets really intense when you know the Sensenmann is right behind you. The look behind feature was really clever too, just another way to make sure I was appropriately scared while running away!
Apr 10 11:48:31 14m 02s Road Rage Mage ♥ 3 First thing that jumps out is how incredible it looks, everything from the title screen to the characters to the environment is honestly amazing. Same with the sound, it's fantastic too and together it really sets the mood. I like the idea of doing something a bit different than the normal turn based game, instead of an RPG you've made a turn based mage racing game which is a really fun idea. A lot of fun to play too, especially after I'd figured out how everything works and was thinking tactically. Only complaint I have is that the UI is a bit small but not a huge issue and it being small really lets the art shine. Regardless, great job!
Apr 14 10:40:33 94h 52m To Build A Fire ♥ 1 Absolute chaos in the best way. After I got used to the controls (Not that I was actually good with them!) was feeling pretty good until I accidentally swiped a match alight and the amazing base for a fire I'd been working on had to be frantically thrown into the matches instead. Then did pretty well, managed to get most of the sticks aflame and then a few fingers which gave me a good laugh. Had a blast with this, normally I get quite frustrated with games like Qwop/Surgeon Simulator if I'm not playing with friends but I didn't feel that way with this for what it's worth. Great job!
Apr 14 10:48:25 7m 52s Day-leave-ry ♥ 2 Holy shit, what did I just play? That hit hard. Really good getting that kind of emotion in such a short space of time. Game was excellent though, looked and sounded great, writing was on point, great job all in! I'm sad now.
Apr 19 14:08:54 123h 20m Over the Rainbow Bridge ♥ 1 Wow, that hit me hard. Think I might need to play with my puppy for the rest of the day now. But great job, really. You did a lot with very little time, the writing was great, so were the graphics/audio. Everything was very polished too. One of the best I've played as part of the jam.
