| Apr 4 06:16:16 | Halt the Annihilation | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! Props for the full tutorial - pretty rare for a jam. Small suggestion for the UI: it'd be useful to have some sort of indicator for when you're about to lose, maybe the population text flashes red or somethin. Neat game :) | |
| Apr 4 06:31:15 | 14m 59s | Hostile Life | ♥ 3 | Awesome entry! Having a completed game for a first jam is huge. Pros: - The glitchy atmosphere combined with the nature theme works super well - not something I'd think to do. I especially loved the lightning strikes. - The little "z" prompts are a nice touch, really helps guide you to the things that matter. - Great comfy sound effects. - Rain drop physics! Cons: - As others have mentioned the physics are a bit funky. I found it a bit difficult to not clip through crates. - Movement felt a bit floaty. Small suggestion would be to increase gravity/friction maybe? |
| Apr 4 08:13:50 | 1h 42m | My Last Hanami | ♥ 1 | Great entry! Really beautiful art. I like how the mechanics were slowly introduced in a super natural way. |
| Apr 4 08:33:12 | 19m 22s | Cup Half Full | ♥ 2 | Wow incredible job on the interaction, I was so surprised how naturally everything moved around - as in, things moved the way I expected them too. Super satisfying when you complete a line. Great entry! |
| Apr 4 23:36:20 | 15h 03m | ZEZ | ♥ 1 | Nice entry. Super satisfying slash mechanic, feels great. I love the character design for the main dude. Would have loved to have seen some variety in the enemies and levels. I encountered a bug where my screen went all orange almost as if the player glow was scaled up massively (I could be way off) but it meant I coudn't see the enemy rings. |
| Apr 4 23:50:43 | 14m 23s | Dont Sleep | ♥ 3 | Great entry. The art is amazing! Hectic keyboard posture, mans can code with one hand. |
| Apr 4 23:59:47 | 9m 04s | Over the Rainbow Bridge | ♥ 2 | Nice entry - so wholesome :) The limited colour palette for the art looked great. Only issue I had was with the dialog box - it wasn't immediately obvious to me that the paw button progressed the text. |
| Apr 5 00:24:31 | 24m 44s | Ludare OS | ♥ 1 | This is sick - had heaps of fun playing. Super fun concept and surprisingly addictive, once I got the controls down. Art and sound are great too. I'd say my only issue was getting use to cycling through the option. Awesome entry. |
| Apr 5 00:39:20 | 14m 49s | The Final Day | ♥ 1 | Great entry, the amount of mechanics you've included is impressive. Loved the old-school mood. Had some issues with balancing, some enemies would absolutely destroy me and others were super easy. Awesome game :) |
| Apr 5 00:48:51 | 9m 31s | Immune System "Engineer" - Can you Delay the Inevitable Skin Breach? | ♥ 1 | Great entry. Really cool mechanic, the difficulty progression was really well done (with the addition of extra nodes). It got difficult fast, would have been nice to chill for a bit longer ;) The connection sound are super satisfying too. Nice job! |
| Apr 5 00:57:29 | 8m 38s | Venting Machine | ♥ 1 | Great entry! Loved the funky aesthetic - the palette and style really look awesome. The initial hit is super fun but I wasn't really sure what was happening after that - was still satisfying to see the distance go up haha. Nice work. |
| Apr 5 01:58:07 | 1h 00m | Nuts and Volts | ♥ 1 | Great entry. Pros: - It was super fun moving around the level the dash feel great. - Sound really added to the experience and the music was perfect for this kind of shooter/dungeon crawler. Cons: - Would have been good if the battery slowly depleted or something to push the theme a bit more. - The pink enemies were a bit hard to see - they didn't contrast against the floor that much. There's a bug where if you shoot the hole, it'll trigger the level change. Overall, fun game, nice work :) |
| Apr 5 03:05:47 | 1h 07m | Too Close | ♥ 2 | Awesome entry, pretty challenging. The mechanic is really clever and could definitely lead to some super interesting puzzles. The art is amazing and the sfx/music really adds to the mood. One issue I had was I wasn't sure when I could select/use an ability it was hard to tell which one was selected or if I was able to use it. Great game! |
| Apr 5 03:24:40 | 18m 53s | Stuck In Space | ♥ 1 | This is super cute! - The intro was a great way to teach the player what's up - Loved how the characters helmet moves around to indicate direction - interesting mechanic having the ability to jet yourself when you're about to run out of fuel Great job! |
| Apr 5 05:52:26 | 2h 27m | The Squeel of Time | ♥ 1 | Fun entry! Was really satisfying once I worked out how jumping/the lava worked. Couldn't get past 10 though. Nice work :) |
| Apr 5 05:58:44 | 6m 18s | 50 Second Apocalypse | ♥ 2 | Nice entry, great use of the theme. - Loved how the shooting felt - great blood effects ;) - the mechanic was pretty cool, I would have loved to have seen this utilised more in the game. Great job :) |
| Apr 5 06:09:51 | 11m 07s | Model-5C | ♥ 1 | This is super impressive!! - Loved the atmosphere. The music went so well with the dark/mysterious tone of the story (groovy too). - Art was great. The lighting was super moody and the levels looked great, both of which I could look at cause of the neat camera movement. - My only issue was with the aiming. Sometimes it felt a little weird the way it aimed in 3d. Awesome entry :) |
| Apr 5 06:32:08 | 22m 17s | GrimTide: Delay the Inevitable | ♥ 2 | Awesome entry! Took a little while to figure out how the stockpile mechanic worked but after that it was super fun - gets stressful managing all the factories. Sound design is really nice as well. Great work! |
| Apr 5 09:11:07 | 2h 38m | SILAS | ♥ 2 | Such a polished game! - loved the core mechanic really simple but allows for some really tricky puzzles - music/sfx perfectly suited the mood - Would have loved a checkpoint - having to redo parts that you've solved can be rough. Nice work :) |
| Apr 5 09:30:17 | 19m 10s | Trolley's Delayma | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is my favourite game of the jam so far. Some thoughts: - Main mechanic is fantastic, makes great use of the theme - Each level is consistently interesting (even with multiple solutions) with the difficulty scaling nicely. I love how simple the loop detection is - so clever. - Art is minimalistic but consistent and looks incredible - I'm sure it was intentional but I had a chuckle at level 10 when I accidently completed it My only suggestion would be to have some indication of which rail you're interacting with (maybe highlighting it or somethin) when they're close together it can be difficult to tell. Awesome entry, nice work :) |
| Apr 5 09:47:51 | 17m 34s | Heat | ♥ 1 | Cute as hell, great entry. - Love the art, simple and effective. - Solid game mechanic which makes good use of the theme. - Fun difficulty progression, gets hectic quick but has a nice arcadey feel. Only issue was with selecting the people. Would maybe be good to have them get highlighted or somethin when you mouse over. Nice work :) |
| Apr 5 10:01:55 | 14m 04s | NAP GUARDIAN | ♥ 1 | That was awesome. Such a polished entry, I was disappointed when it finished! - Art was amazing and the music/sound was great for the atmosphere - attack mechanic felt really nice so did the dash - would have been great if there was a dash charge up sound effect. - Loved that you included a tutorial in the beginning too. Great work :) |
| Apr 5 10:11:43 | 9m 48s | Keep Cool | ♥ 1 | Great entry, really polished. Some thoughts: - The UI/menu was fantastic set the tone for the game. - art was really nice - super cute - Was fun getting a snowflake and just going ham haha - I found the physics a bit floaty and difficult to control, maybe increasing the acceleration would help. - Sliding was wild, first thing I did was dash off the edge and fall for eternity lol. Nice work :) |
| Apr 5 12:32:13 | 2h 20m | Malarkey! | ♥ 1 | Aw man, unfortunate you couldn't add more - what you have is awesome. - You've managed to capture the lonely, desolate mood perfectly and I love how comfy it feels in the shelter. Also some of the best pixel art I've seen so far - The sound really adds to the atmosphere and I like how even without player animation the footsteps still make it "readable". Great job, I'd love to see more of this :) |
| Apr 5 13:05:27 | 33m 14s | Atlantis | ♥ 2 | Damn this is awesome, easily the most playtime I've had so far couldn't stop until I "finished" it. - The progression felt great, took me a few goes to properly manage resources and was super satisfying once I worked it out. - Great low poly art - Minimalist sound design that doesn't get in the way but still adds to the experience Great work :) |
| Apr 5 13:12:22 | 6m 55s | Can You Out Run It? | ♥ 1 | This was great, surprisingly addictive. Loved the feeling of picking up a gas can and blasting on up. Great work :) |
| Apr 5 13:21:25 | 9m 03s | Save the Planet!! | ♥ 1 | Neat entry. Loved creepy music. This game would probably be great for training mouse accuracy :p |
| Apr 5 13:31:29 | 10m 04s | Avagiance | ♥ 1 | Great entry! - Fun hectic gameplay - took me a bit to work out what was going on but after that it was sweet. - I enjoyed the moody atmosphere - the pixel art was great too. - Sometimes the hit detection for the portal got mixed up with the enemies and I'd inadvertently kill myself. - It'd be good to have some sort of indicator when you finish the stage. The first time I was confused when the next level started. Nice job :) |
| Apr 5 23:33:19 | 10h 01m | RUN COFFEE RUN | ♥ 1 | This was heaps of fun. asdfasdf (2).PNG - Game looked great, colour scheme plus 2d/3d look was beautiful - The progression was super well done, the puzzles were really well thought out - Sound design was great - made interacting in the world satisfying Only suggestion would be to maybe stop the timer when reading signs - I suppose it's part of the challenge but I found it more tedious than fun. Really polished nice work :) |
| Apr 6 00:23:42 | 50m 23s | Lost In Space | ♥ 0 | Beautiful visuals and really moody - really polished entry. Nice work! |
| Apr 6 00:31:27 | 7m 45s | Deck And Decay | ♥ 4 | Was so confused when the table dropped but of COURSE I need to face off against zombies in a bespoke card game to ensure my survival. Super wacky, fun entry. Nice work :) |
| Apr 6 05:02:27 | 4h 31m | Wormageddon | ♥ 3 | Love this one! - The 3d/pixel art aesthetic is great. I'm curious if it's actually 3d or just sprite layering etc?? The character animations are awesome too. - Fun dodging mechanics - good difficulty level - Groovy music. Nice work :) |
| Apr 6 11:42:24 | 6h 39m | Comet | ♥ 1 | Really polished entry. - Beautiful art style, loved the colour palette and animations - Was surprised by how intuitive the grab mechanic worked using the same button as shoot. It always seemed to behave the way I expected - really well done. Only issue I had was the restart cutscene - it was great the first time but would have appreciated a faster restart. Nice work :) |
