| Apr 17 20:27:42 | God's Rage | ♥ 0 | Top marks for graphics for sure. As a mythology nerd (RIP folklore theme), this was definitely a game I had to play. But, as others have mentioned, I struggled with the controls, especially when it came to jumping. I never made much progress because I got lava'd, since I couldn't see the platform I was aiming for. | |
| Apr 17 21:08:52 | 41m 10s | Fair Dice Game | ♥ 0 | So, it took me a few tries to figure out how cashing out actually worked, but it was a good game as soon as I did. Like @likirus mentioned, it would have been easier to navigate with a mouse rather than just keyboard. I couldn't find a way to bypass the shop without buying something, which is what I usually wanted to do if I didn't like the upgrade options or I was just low on cash. I think that might be by design? It certainly made the game more difficult. Managed to get as high as $19,000. No plans on going to Vegas anytime soon. |
| Apr 17 21:38:13 | 29m 21s | DEATH AND TAXES | ♥ 1 | I played solo, and my poor mouse definitely needs a break. This was an amazing game. The concept was great, and I loved that leafblower. Just spinning it around and watching the papers blow away was lovely. The whole game was lovely, but spinning with a leafblower was just 🤌 . |
| Apr 18 00:16:26 | 2h 38m | Defend 'till the end | ♥ 1 | So at first I thought I could just spin around shooting, and it took one planet's worth of destruction before I caught on to why that did't work. To the denizens of that planet: oops. But seeing an arc of missiles spiralling out from the planet is still satisfying, even if my gun is pointing 180° in the wrong direction. As others have mentioned, the visuals are great. Using clouds to cover up errors strikes me as a very creative solution! It's an all-around great game. |
| Apr 19 00:14:15 | 23h 57m | Princess: Unwed | ♥ 1 | I remember playing a board game as a kid where you dial numbers into a large, pink phone, and they give you clues regarding who had a crush on you. This game has a pigeon, and the point is that you *don't* have a crush on him, but the feel of contacting people for gossip brought me back. As I was playing, though, it started to feel a bit repetitive. Getting good dirt got a bit harder, but the overall gameplay didn't seem to change. Some sort of story evolution might help? Like, who is giving the queen the names of these terrible people, for example. (Seriously, tho, that royal advisor sucks.) |
| Apr 19 00:39:27 | 25m 12s | Caterpillar | ♥ 1 | I am *here* for the psychedelic images. It helped make the mood of this game feel unique and surreal. Absolutely loved it. I did run into difficulty with the game play where my encounters wouldn't end, and I'd be in a bit of a loop interacting with others. I played the web version, maybe that was the issue? Not that it stopped me from playing, though. Slug needs their crouton, after all. |
| Apr 19 01:10:00 | 30m 33s | When Penguins Fly | ♥ 1 | Very cute concept, and the gameplay was really straightforward. The art looked great, and I thought the music was fitting. |
| Apr 19 23:00:40 | 21h 50m | Garbage Collector Simulator | ♥ 1 | Very funny, and I love the aesthetic and design. Very 90s. |
| Apr 19 23:14:01 | 13m 21s | Delay Decay | ♥ 0 | Yeah, I also thought the game was about collecting eggs (and avoiding the doggos) until I got to the comments here. Maybe more explanation is needed right off the hop? |
| Apr 19 23:34:44 | 20m 43s | You've Kidnapped the Wrong Prince! | ♥ 1 | I made it to round 8 with a miner-archer-wizard team. I would have loved being able to buy more than 3 units for my team. But I suppose if wouldn't be thematic if the player won, right? Great game! I enjoyed it. |
| Apr 19 23:49:17 | 14m 33s | Evacuation Route | ♥ 1 | There was a second or so when I couldn't shoot anymore, but I hadn't reached the completion screen, and I thought, is that it? I lost? I don't know if that feeling was built in to the design, but I did have a moment where it seemed like it didn't matter how good I was, I lost. (I was only 68% good.) Full marks for theme! |
| Apr 20 00:34:33 | 45m 16s | Sunny-Life Waste Disposal | ♥ 2 | Hahaha, that was great. That intro is a great way to hook people in. I would have appreciated some explanation of what the icons meant, but the game wasn't so punishing that you lacked the time to figure it out. I really liked the artwork style and how that contributed to the dystopian feel. Here I am, a happy red wagon with an arm, and piles of trash so overwhelming they're not even in focus. |
| Apr 20 01:16:38 | 42m 05s | CLIMATE GARDENING | ♥ 1 | This game is beautiful. I cannot get over how amazing the artwork is. |
| Apr 20 01:55:11 | 38m 33s | Typing at Midnight | ♥ 0 | I think this game needs two things. One, a playlist. Youtube, spotify, whatever, just something the protagonist would be listening to. Second, this game needs to *not leave me hanging like that* **how dare you**. |
| Apr 20 14:46:44 | 12h 51m | PRO TAX SLACKER | ♥ 2 | Laundry that takes 7 hours? Believable. Taking the dog for a 10 hour walk? Excellent. A shower that takes 6 hours, though?! You'd be too pruny to do your taxes after that! I loved being able to explore all the different ways to procrastinate (I see myself in this picture and I don't like it). I did find the camera angles a bit weird, and it took me a minute or two to adjust to that view. I couldn't find a way to get a good look at the dog! |
