| Apr 9 16:36:55 | Some Heart For Your Boyfriend | ♥ 1 | Nice entry, the controls feel responsive and the story is cute. I do wish there was sound to tie this all together though. | |
| Apr 9 16:50:26 | 13m 31s | Delaying Death | ♥ 0 | Nice game, everything is really responsive and feels good to play. I couldn't tell if keeping the windows boarded up was helping or just extending the amount of time it took for the wave to bust in. Overall I think this was a nice entry, great work! |
| Apr 9 18:24:15 | 1h 33m | RIITA | ♥ 7 | Wow this is an amazing entry, it's wild how much you were able to accomplish for the jam! |
| Apr 9 18:36:18 | 12m 03s | Bitboy | ♥ 1 | I was not expecting such a narrative experience from a jam game. Awesome work, this was an incredible entry. |
| Apr 9 19:09:51 | 33m 33s | Evacuation of Zorkid | ♥ 0 | This is an interesting idea for the theme. I enjoyed the strategy of picking what to build before the moon crashed. I do wish there were some sounds, as that would have really kicked this up a notch. It took me a little bit to realize the power station wasn't out of power, due to the lighting bolt looking similar to the other buildings when they needed more power. Overall the controls are responsive and the effect of the orbit showing the path of the moon towards the end is cool. |
| Apr 9 19:16:02 | 6m 11s | Floody Hell | ♥ 2 | I actually really liked the way you handled the water in this. The sound effects were also pretty funny. Nice entry. |
| Apr 11 00:12:22 | 28h 56m | Brakeless | ♥ 1 | This is a great looking game. I had issues easily getting stuck on objects but I still had fun exploring the world you built. Great work! |
| Apr 11 00:18:29 | 6m 07s | Meteor Storm | ♥ 1 | Classic game setup and it's incredibly well made. I could see this deployed to mobile as a full game. I really liked the graphics, though the main song got a little annoying with the "wa wa wa" after a few minutes. Overall though this is a solid entry, awesome work! |
| Apr 11 01:08:29 | 50m 00s | Farm Dog | ♥ 4 | It's really cool that you have a leaderboard, that's a nice feature for a jam game. I really liked the style and graphics. I think it would have been nice if there were some sort of hit registration when attacking or being attacked. Overall I think this was a great entry, nice work! |
| Apr 11 01:18:09 | 9m 40s | Hotel Lazarus | ♥ 1 | This was fun! I like the mechanics that are in this as it's simple and entertaining. I also think the characters are charming. Some additional SFX and a little more UI work could push this up to the next level. Great work, the entry is a solid one! |
| Apr 11 01:29:45 | 11m 36s | The Gallows | ♥ 2 | I really like the style of this and it's a really interesting method for story telling. I did get soft locked on this level with a few null reference errors. Or maybe I got a game over? Overall I think this was a really cool entry, nice work! Screenshot 2022-04-10 212931.png |
| Apr 11 01:39:55 | 10m 10s | Wicked Wilds | ♥ 2 | Love the graphics and general game idea. The small detail I was really impressed with was the way you accomplished the little flame on the main character. It looked great! I do wish there was an easy way to replay, or at least I couldn't find one outside force closing the game. IT would also have been nice to see how much time I had, it took a while for me to figure out the timing. Overall this was a great entry, nice work! |
| Apr 11 01:54:27 | 14m 32s | Monkey Seen, Monkey Screwed | ♥ 1 | I'm apparently really bad at this game as I couldn't get past the main menu. From what I saw the graphics look great! Based on previous comments this is probably an issue with my browser. |
| Apr 11 02:26:40 | 32m 13s | Panic | ♥ 0 | This is a really interesting concept. I enjoyed exploring the city and was surprised there were vertical areas to reach by spamming jump. Some of the people walking looked weird, but it gave them a creepy sort of appearance so maybe that was intentional. Great work, solid entry! |
| Apr 11 17:11:45 | 14h 45m | HungryBot | ♥ 1 | Nice graphics and I love the way your menu animates in and out. This is a great entry, nice work! |
| Apr 11 20:12:08 | 3h 00m | Delayarrhea | ♥ 3 | Fun puzzle game, I like the way the seats work into the solution. The SFX were a little loud and the repeated clicking sounded more like a plastic toy popping than a train going along tracks. Though I knew what you were going for, so in a way it still works. Overall I think this is a clever entry and interesting use of the theme. |
| Apr 11 20:25:15 | 13m 07s | Running Out of Time | ♥ 4 | I played both the web version and the windows build. The web version ran really slowly, but I think that may have been an issue on my side. For a jam game you were able to get a lot done and I really like the stealth mechanics. The use of lighting to create a mood was great. The audio peaked a bunch or sounded like it was recorded in a room with an echo. Having some sort of lean mechanic to look around corners and not get caught would have been helpful, though after getting caught a few times I was able to learn the guard patterns. Overall I think this is a nice entry, great work! |
| Apr 11 21:08:38 | 43m 23s | Say Something | ♥ 2 | I really like the graphics and theme. I almost lost after winning by not realizing I had to wait for the time to run out once I got 20 clouds. I was running around hitting all the red things and realized my score dropped. Cool entry, nice work! |
| Apr 11 21:16:37 | 7m 59s | The Lute & The Liar | ♥ 2 | LOVE the style of this. The graphics are incredible and the audio is equally amazing. This is the perfect length for a jam game and really highlights the mechanics you built. I'm sure this was cut, but there should probably be some sort of negative effect to pressing a key too early as I was able to just slam HJKL to hit most the notes (I'm bad at these kinds of games). One other thing, the keys are out of order on the how to play screen. It showed "HJLK" instead of "HJKL". Overall this is a very solid entry, awesome work. |
| Apr 11 21:22:32 | 5m 55s | Deity of Jigsaw Puzzle | ♥ 1 | Really interesting mechanics. The graphics look solid and the game played well. It's a little hard to tell what the icons are and what puzzle pieces can fit together. Overall I like this game and think it's a really neat idea. |
| Apr 11 21:27:44 | 5m 12s | Let's Do Alien Taxes! | ♥ 3 | I love this so much! I've never had so much fun doing taxes. I wish there was a way to change the sorting order to bring some of the forms forward, but this was easy to work around by just shifting everything to the edge of the screen. Great work, solid entry. |
| Apr 11 21:36:34 | 8m 50s | Life - Delaying Death | ♥ 1 | Nice game! It was wild how many objects were falling which made it almost like a living maze. The Sound was really nice, though it sounded really crazy when I plowed through everything across the screen. I think I hit some objects when I thought they were off the screen yet still partially there. Overall, great work and nice entry! |
| Apr 12 04:14:29 | 6h 37m | Bathroom in the Backrooms | ♥ 0 | Interesting entry, I like the style though the hum of lights is a little loud. I think if it was toned down a bit it could help accent the knocking/foot steps. I like the style and the mechanic to spam space bar does give the feeling of struggling. Great work! |
| Apr 14 19:18:40 | 63h 04m | Don't save the planet | ♥ 1 | Nice entry, the mechanics were simple and fun. The bus ship for people evacuating was a nice touch. I liked the cut-in graphics as well. Overall this was a good entry and solid game. |
| Apr 14 19:21:43 | 3m 03s | Sheep Heard | ♥ 2 | I'm really bad at this game but it's amazing. I love the idea of queuing up commands that take a moment to reach the dog. The graphics are wonderful and the music is on point. Awesome entry! |
| Apr 17 01:23:35 | 54h 01m | The Final Clue | ♥ 1 | Wow you put a lot of work into this story, great work! I wish I had more time to enjoy the story, but I was able to catch most of it. Great entry! |
| Apr 17 01:32:04 | 8m 29s | Salvos | ♥ 1 | Nice game, very ambitious scope for a jam! I played the WebGL version and was getting these weird screen tears in the graphics. I'm thinking the tiles were slightly off or overlapping in a way to cause the tear. Screenshot below. Great entry, nice work! Screenshot 2022-04-16 212806.png |
| Apr 17 02:15:28 | 43m 24s | Princess: Unwed | ♥ 1 | Nice game, I like how the character movement made it feel like a pop-up book or paper doll play. Some of the font was a little hard to read, but in general I like the way you tied the theme into your game. Great entry! |
| Apr 17 02:30:21 | 14m 53s | Dawn of the Karen | ♥ 1 | Great graphics and the gameplay is solid. I like how there are multiple versions of the Karen to make it look like a mob. The upgrades seemed fair and the difficulty ramped up appropriately. Great Entry! |
| Apr 17 02:42:21 | 12m 00s | Asteroid Annihilator | ♥ 2 | Very solid entry! I really liked the graphics and this was a classic setup for the theme. I liked the powerups as it spiced the game up and makes the player adapt to their new temporary power. Great work! |
| Apr 17 02:53:04 | 10m 43s | Outrun the future | ♥ 1 | This is a wonderful looking game. I loved the mechanic of the lanes getting damaged instead of the player. Towards the end it felt close to impossible when the open lanes would be the far left and right back to back. Overall very nice work with a unified style, you nailed the synthwave sort of look. |
| Apr 17 03:09:23 | 16m 19s | Hero's Last Quest | ♥ 0 | Interesting take on the theme. I love the graphics at the lake location. It felt really tranquil and looked great! It took me a little bit to figure out how to reel the fish in, some sort of indicator could help here. Overall I think this was a great entry, nice work. |
| Apr 17 03:16:06 | 6m 43s | Dungeon Crawl | ♥ 1 | Very ambitious for a jam game. I know games with stats and RPG elements can be difficult to balance, but I think you did a good job with this. I enjoyed the various choices and text, great work! |
| Apr 17 03:25:05 | 8m 59s | Grounded! | ♥ 1 | Interesting take on the theme. I thought the mechanics were unique. I really liked the drawn background for the home and wish the characters could have had the same treatment, though with this being a jam I'm sure that was cut at some point in the process. Overall you did a great job and this is a nice entry. |
| Apr 17 03:38:13 | 13m 08s | H U N T E D | ♥ 1 | I love the mood of the game and the solid Oregon Trail style mechanics. I wish I could aim my shots similar to the enemies when ambushed. Overall I think you did a great job on the game, nice entry! |
| Apr 17 03:46:02 | 7m 49s | Alchemy | ♥ 1 | The graphics are amazing, you've done a great job! I found the game to be a little difficult but I think after a few rounds I started to catch on. I really like the alchemy book and having to check on the demon to see what it's doing to know what to start cooking up. Overall this is a very solid entry, awesome work! |
| Apr 17 04:06:52 | 20m 50s | Breakfast Time in Dream Land | ♥ 1 | Classic mechanics with a cute twist. I like the graphics and theme of this. I would agree with previous comments that the addition of some animations, likely cut for time, would have pushed this up. Overall I think this is a solid entry that you can be proud of, nice work! |
| Apr 17 04:10:32 | 3m 40s | Till It's Over | ♥ 2 | Great game the mood is fantastic. I actually really love the way you handle the shadows for areas outside the vision of the character. Solid entry, nice work! |
| Apr 17 04:51:48 | 41m 16s | Housekeep | ♥ 2 | Great looking game, I love the esthetic. The music and sound effects were equally good. I did experience a few issues where the mouse sensitivity with the motion blur was way high. I also think some textures failed to load on the toilet and sing as before cleaning them they were both bright pink. With those set aside I think this was a fantastic entry and think you made a great game. Nice work! |
