| Apr 4 02:34:21 | Cursed Unicorn | ♥ 1 | I was able to make it to 5:17 on my 3rd try :) - Fun. I liked the mood and this definitely fit the theme. When the game first loaded I was left wanting start screen or a "click to continue" message to know the game is ready for my input. Nice work and thanks for the game!! | |
| Apr 4 02:46:35 | 12m 14s | RE-FUSE-AL | ♥ 0 | I managed to stay alive for 77 seconds! Quite fun game once I got the hang of it. The mechanics of transferring the flame was a bit finicky and at times it was hard to get the game to do what I wanted it to. The bombs would spawn under or too close and there didn't seem to be a good way to know which bomb was lit without waiting. A sprite for the flame/lit bomb would have gone a long way! Overall good game!! Thanks for the uploading!!! |
| Apr 4 03:02:39 | 16m 04s | Eventually Corn Runs Out | ♥ 1 | I struggled a bit without a resource counter on the screen for the cures and food. Having to actually go to the city to inspect it and find out zombie vs human count felt appropriate though! The style was definitely a highlight! Love the gameboy game idea. Good game and thanks for the upload! |
| Apr 4 03:16:51 | 14m 12s | The world is breaking | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun game, but I really wish there was an indicator for where the next meteors would be! A random well placed meteor turns the good base of a strategy game into punishing RNG. That said, I did enjoy it and the tile progression is really clever! It gave me board game vibes. You should continue to iterate on this post-jam as I think you have a really solid game! |
| Apr 4 10:14:10 | 6h 57m | Debt Train (card construction game) | ♥ 1 | I had a lot of fun with this - I drew 202 cards. I don't know how RNG and strategy affect people's experience but I think you did a great job. Music was solid for the style of game I felt appropriately challenged with the cards I drew User feedback was good Overall I really liked this one! Thanks for uploading! You could probably continue working on this a little to give quality of life improvements on the setting of stations (maybe snap to the nearest track) |
| Apr 4 10:24:31 | 10m 21s | A duck on ice | ♥ 1 | Nice submission. Based on the first voice line it sounds like we were so close to having a turtle island instead of a duck island |
| Apr 4 10:45:55 | 21m 24s | Why Bother | ♥ 1 | I was able to survive through wave 4, but couldn't figure out how to survive any longer Great graphics!! Addition sounds and ambiance would have added a lot, but this is a very solid submission! Thank you for uploading! |
| Apr 4 10:54:51 | 8m 56s | Inevitable | ♥ 1 | I clicked my way up to over 600, but in the end I still lost, haha Good quick one! Thanks! |
| Apr 4 11:44:35 | 49m 44s | Tile Sparce | ♥ 0 | I managed to get to turn 128 with a score of 135200! I'm still not sure exactly how the crystal works, but it was fun. I liked the manual control over the turns to give that added strategy! This could definitely be expanded and built out post-LD! Great job, thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 4 12:03:00 | 18m 25s | Invaasion | ♥ 1 | Fun classic game. I normally try to post my score for these types of games but the MASSIVE wave of enemies made the final score unreadable haha. Good game and thanks for the upload!! |
| Apr 4 21:42:46 | 9h 39m | 1868 | ♥ 1 | I won! It took two tries, but was fairly trivial once I figured court out. I liked the humor in the game. Thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 4 22:04:15 | 21m 29s | Evacuate Immediately | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I cleared the planet with 53k miles remaining! The numbers tuning felt nice as I was on edge almost the entire time! The game was a little long, but you nailed the the doomed feeling. Really impressed! Thank for the upload! |
| Apr 4 22:13:05 | 8m 50s | MoonDoggle | ♥ 2 | I lasted 2:41 with 214 bugs killed. It definitely ramped up in difficulty quick, but I enjoyed the transition from slow to fast and how the player goes from calculated and precise to wild spray and pray. Nice game and thanks for the submission! |
| Apr 4 22:23:18 | 10m 13s | CliffCart | ♥ 1 | Good game! As others said, the clicking of the floating coins was borderline toxic, but it was still fun. I'd have preferred the building and flame buttons to have keyboard input alternatives to alleviate a bit of the carpal tunnel. The graphics and core loops were great though and the art had a cute consistency to it! Overall nice submission and thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 4 22:55:30 | 32m 12s | A Thousand Islands, and One | ♥ 1 | I liked this game, but it lacked purpose and I'm not sure if there was a theme part that I missed other than just not being able to "win" The art was good and the retro style worked great! I actually spent a long time playing. Great compo game and thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 4 23:00:19 | 4m 49s | Belecint | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed the simplicity of this. It feels like a game that knows what it is! Thanks! |
| Apr 4 23:37:22 | 37m 03s | Space Onslaught | ♥ 1 | Fun game! Started lagging a lot once I got to 1000 kills because of the number of enemies. Recommend having the in-game information presented before starting the game. Really nice submission! Thanks! |
| Apr 4 23:45:45 | 8m 23s | Inevitable Cubes | ♥ 1 | 3:22 was as far as I could get. The camera management started to get really difficult with the boxes so far away from the center. It was nearly impossible to get the boxes on the screen. Although I suppose that's part of the game! It was surprisingly fun to get used to the unique way of interacting with the world. Zooming out would have been nice, but otherwise a super nice entry! Thanks for the game! |
| Apr 4 23:52:29 | 6m 44s | Total Collapse | ♥ 1 | Atmosphere is definitely a highlight on this one over other compo entries! I really think you could take this further post-LD. Thank for the upload!! |
| Apr 5 00:00:50 | 8m 21s | Low Tide | ♥ 1 | I survived 93 seconds only. Tough game! I wonder what it would play like with a top down/isometric camera. Art style is obviously a highlight for a compo game! Cute sounds too! Thanks for the upload! |
| Apr 5 00:06:19 | 5m 29s | Castle Defend | ♥ 0 | Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how to make the attacks work. There was one time an AOE indictor showed for the fireball, but I wasn't able to get it to show up again upon restarting the game. |
| Apr 5 00:19:48 | 13m 29s | Hex'd | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed the graphics and music. Definitely felt like a speed-runner kind of game. Most of the potions hearts were not useful and the difficulty ramped up at the 4th screen to what seemed near impossible.. not sure if that was just part of the theme and we were never supposed to win? Overall a great submission for compo! Really impressive! Thanks! |
| Apr 5 00:34:25 | 14m 37s | Caravan to Empire | ♥ 1 | I made it to day 54 with 3756 steps! I'm still not really sure what strategy to employ for efficiency and I think that makes this a great game! Definitely some more strategizing that can go on for the player than a simple snake game. Nice innovation! Thanks for the entry! |
| Apr 5 00:38:26 | 4m 01s | Worm Food | ♥ 1 | I made it 1:11. Simple but cute game! Thanks for the submission! |
| Apr 5 00:52:23 | 13m 57s | Dire Darkness | ♥ 1 | I survived for 8:31 seconds, but now I need to take a break from gaming because I now have carpal tunnel. I liked your usage of light and the camera position was on point for having to turn to see what is behind you! Nice entry! |
| Apr 5 01:03:39 | 11m 16s | The volcano woke up ! | ♥ 1 | Nicely made UI and interaction with the map. I definitely got the feeling that my efforts were futile pretty early on. I didn't feel any motivation to continue trying though, so I gave up at around 15 rounds. Feels like it just needs something to hook the player into continuing despite the inevitable end Great submission though! Thanks! |
| Apr 5 01:10:56 | 7m 17s | Save The Dinosuars | ♥ 1 | I saved the dinosaurs! This is a really good feeling submission! The UI, the effects, the background, the shake. It was all really well done! Thanks! |
| Apr 5 01:18:14 | 7m 18s | Exclusion Zone | ♥ 2 | I wasn't really able to figure out whether was I was doing had any effect on the outcome of the game. Also the feedback for what action I was performing wasn't well indicated. When moving houses I often dropped walls instead. The art style and sounds were definitely a highlight though. Very consistent and made a great mood. Thanks for the upload! |
| Apr 5 01:46:44 | 28m 30s | Dog Days of Summer | ♥ 1 | I spent a long time trying to make my virtual friends happy and in the end it just taught me that some people shouldn't hang out together. Fun game! Thanks for the upload |
| Apr 5 01:53:55 | 7m 11s | Asteroid | ♥ 1 | Nice game. I didn't figure out if the upgrades work, so I think I played without them. For these games I always like a score screen to compare my progress across attempts Thanks for the upload |
| Apr 5 01:59:03 | 5m 08s | Until the end | ♥ 1 | 1:30 seconds with 200 kills. Nice simple game! |
| Apr 5 02:15:32 | 16m 29s | Digital Pet | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately I couldn't play through the game to the end if it had one because of having played too many spam click games today lol The character was cute and I liked the idea. More user feedback for when/if an evolution would happen or how long the pet needed to be outside would be good. Thank for the upload! |
| Apr 5 02:29:54 | 14m 22s | Deathly Delay | ♥ 1 | A quick into to the controls as the game starts would be a fantastic add. I was confused as hell on the throwing one. Overall great entry though! Thanks! |
| Apr 5 05:54:55 | 3h 25m | Hydropy | ♥ 1 | Got to 5000ish points playing normally and Score: 17164 by making the game window as small as I could so I didn't have as much screen real estate to mouse over :P Nice simple game |
| Apr 5 06:21:33 | 26m 38s | Chess? | ♥ 2 | Got to round 21. The game is very interesting and quite fun. I would have loved to be able to change the directions of pieces already on the board, but maybe that would have broken the guarantee to lose? Overall really great piece! Thanks for uploading |
| Apr 5 06:33:56 | 12m 23s | Block or Bust | ♥ 4 | Yup. This is gold. Great job! Speedrun time 9:11.38! |
| Apr 5 06:42:23 | 8m 27s | Bacterial Protection | ♥ 1 | Aside from the instruction part, I think this was fun! Thanks for the upload! |
| Apr 5 06:46:22 | 3m 59s | Gemship Wars | ♥ 1 | I got to 46! The sound effects were really nice. Projectile prediction would have been nice for game feel I think, but overall fun! Thanks for uploading |
| Apr 5 07:00:19 | 13m 57s | Grandma | ♥ 1 | This is a solid game. It was definitely difficult to get used to the controls, but the rest of the game is really nicely done. Sad story. Thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 5 07:12:31 | 12m 12s | Pass The Torch | ♥ 1 | Story, setting, and art are all on point for just 48 hours! I didn't have _fun_ playing it though. Definitely spend a little more time working on player experience in the future, but still this is an overall really nice piece! Thanks for the entry!! |
| Apr 5 07:21:03 | 8m 32s | Inevitable Orbit | ♥ 1 | Orbital mechanics are real! This is a fantastic and unique interpretation on the theme!! Really nicely done, thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 5 07:35:09 | 14m 06s | Death is The End | ♥ 1 | Well made, thanks for uploading! |
| Apr 5 07:47:27 | 12m 18s | The moss accident | ♥ 1 | I saved the day!!! That was a fun game and well balanced to keep me trying over and over. Nicely done. |
| Apr 5 07:56:45 | 9m 18s | Trolley's Delayma | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I think you nailed the tutorial levels, game length, and scaling difficulty! I was convinced I was going to close it early because of repetition or losing interest, but you kept me hooked to the end. Great job! |
| Apr 5 08:07:24 | 10m 39s | The Dungeon Lord | ♥ 1 | I found this one a little too hard to get used to. Maybe it would have been better if I actually played on a phone where I could use the power of 2 thumbs instead of 1 mouse? I think a video/gif of you playing the game to show how to get started would have been a godsend. Thanks for the entry!! |
| Apr 5 08:16:49 | 9m 25s | Salary Zombies | ♥ 2 | @widdershin had some great input that I want to 2nd. This is a fantastic start to a promising game. I'd love to see this iterated on post LD. I love your art style. Thanks for the entry! |
| Apr 5 08:22:44 | 5m 55s | Glide | ♥ 1 | This is a nice take on the theme! Definitely sound and a score as other mentioned would be huge boons for this entry. |
| Apr 5 08:44:28 | 21m 44s | Can I Win as a Lv. 1 Slime? -underdog rising- | ♥ 1 | Very nice entry. It would have been nice to have a quicker restart or go back as I got tired of collecting flowers each time. I would have enjoyed a solid 1 damage per hit on the hero more than 0 haha Fantastic entry, thanks for uploading!! |
| Apr 5 08:59:32 | 15m 04s | Volcano | ♥ 2 | Super solid entry! I didn't realize you couldn't sacrifice yourself to the volcano to make it happy after running out of other offerings. I wish there was an in-game score. Cute as hell volcano. I also would have liked a counter for how many objects were held as I sometimes had difficulty telling whether or not I actually grabbed the object. Thanks for the upload! |
| Apr 5 09:08:23 | 8m 51s | Tree loves Sun | ♥ 1 | I made it to a score of 399!!! Way higher than I thought I would get after failing miserably the first try. Super interesting take on the theme. I really liked the mechanic or managing the tree. Fantastic job! Its still not clear to me how exactly some parts of the tree heal or die when the sun is out. A little more clarity there would have helped |
| Apr 5 10:33:49 | 1h 25m | Volcano Maintenance | ♥ 1 | I had more fun just collecting and feeding the catapult than I did once I realized there was a throw mechanic. Unfortunate as I felt like that took away from the game a little. The graphics are consistent and appealing and I enjoyed watching my helpers desperately try to help |
| Apr 5 14:12:12 | 3h 38m | Ant CRISIS | ♥ 1 | Exploring the anthill was extremely fun even if I wasn't doing the objective! If you had extra time, a minimap of the anthill's holes or the surrounding area would have done wonders for this game. Overall I still very much enjoyed it and the atmosphere it presented. Nice work! |
| Apr 6 02:48:27 | 12h 36m | Keep It Warm | ♥ 1 | Got to a score of 233! Fun little game with a hint of strategy to make your actions feel impactful! Nice entry! |
| Apr 6 05:54:45 | 3h 06m | Atlantis | ♥ 5 | The great "Island of Erectus" defies the inevitable erectus.PNG |
