Apr 5 04:15:57 Day of the Flame - LD 50 ♥ 1 Very cool! Love the pixel art, the especially the flame dude! Simple but fun mechanic, jumpy-ness felt pretty good but the wall jumps were a little unforgiving sometimes. I couldn't figure out the boss fight. Good job overall!
Apr 5 04:21:44 5m 47s 50 Second Apocalypse ♥ 2 The rewind mechanic is very cool, reminds me of Tracer in Overwatch. I like the little touches too like the blood spatter and the way the crystals coalesce. Good job!
Apr 5 22:47:57 18h 26m One Last Letter ♥ 5 Cool game! Art and music is really good. I ran into a handful of bugs I needed to alt-f4 away from, but typing and arranging the words was an interesting story telling mechanic. Good job!
Apr 5 23:03:19 15m 22s Time, Commander? ♥ 1 It takes a little while to figure out and get used to the controls, but it gets pretty engaging when it clicks. The time control mechanic was great! Good use of sound, Visuals look good, but it looks like I could drive through some objects and I'm not sure if it was intended or not. Overall good job!
Apr 5 23:17:04 13m 45s The Fumbling Wizard ♥ 1 Cool game! It was a fun take on the theme! I like looking up and seeing the moon falling down lol cool detail. Visuals look good, it plays smoothly and feels good overall. Nice touch of humor too lol Good job.
Apr 5 23:21:57 4m 53s Slither And Fire ♥ 1 Very cool cutting mechanic. The things creeping towards the base look very cool. Good use of sound. I was eventually cutting everywhere like a MAD-MAN lol good job!
Apr 5 23:27:34 5m 37s Do the Dishes Tomorrow ♥ 2 What a cool idea, I'd never think of something like this! It looks good, and sounds good, plays well! There's an unfortunate bug that allows me to drop nothing and get points, but the main idea is super cool! Good job!
Apr 6 00:04:28 36m 54s Orbles ♥ 4 Fantastic work, everything is amazing. I played this for longer than I want to admit, especially because I'm terrible at it lol. I never figured out how to produce soldiers fast enough to keep my village safe, but it was a lot of fun to try! Great job everyone!
Apr 6 04:17:16 4h 12m Inevitable Seige ♥ 1 Solid TD Game! A great foundation to build on! It took a little while to get used using the keyboard to select my abilities, I still occasionally wasted money trying to click the UI on the screen. Might be nice to just use a mouse. The money mechanic is definitely fun, but I still wish it was less of a chore, because I'd often get fixated on watching the critters on their path. The impending doom of the spider is very impactful and nails the theme perfectly. Good job overall!
Apr 6 04:26:04 8m 48s Wizardfall ♥ 1 Very cool entry! Everything is very good! Looks and sounds good! Artwork/Animation is fantastic! The gameplay and narrative are fun and engaging! *(A/D did feel a bit bugged/sticky, like it wasn't reading my inputs after dialog or something, but I managed to fight through with extra clicks)* Great job overall!
Apr 6 04:41:33 15m 29s Highrail to hell ♥ 1 Love it! Overall very good, among the best I've played! I liked how you used progressed the objectives for each car, and the ending was perfect! My only (super minor) complaint is the input scheme was kind of weird for me and I never really got used to it. I'd like to WASD Space + JKL or something like that.
Apr 6 19:39:39 14h 58m Road Rage Mage ♥ 5 Very cool. Looks amazing, sounds great. The gameplay is a little difficult for me to understand. I won a couple times, but I'm not sure what I was doing to win. I think it might help to have descriptions for what's happening like "you used boost, enemy used shield", then see the result, I think it would help on-boarding faster. I think animations are trying to communicate that, but it's easy to miss. Overall a very good entry! Great job!! Also, I won in just 3 turns so that has to be a record or something right? win.png
Apr 6 19:57:13 17m 34s BOX IN OX ♥ 1 Great job! Looks good, sounds good (deceptively catchy tunes), Very innovative! The only nit-pick I have; The shape and color of the objects getting squished while dropping introduces some confusion because the urn and the teapot look a little too similar and makes me thing they can match, but they don't. Maybe the plates should also be purple? Unsolicited Ideas: Would be cool to see some kind of power ups. Clear all your china, put the bull to sleep, maybe even something that makes it go into rage mode! Anyway, great job overall!!!!
Apr 7 07:29:01 11h 31m The Fire Will Die ♥ 1 Very good entry! Presentation of everything is solid. Constructive feedback: I feel like the gameplay of gathering supplies was a bit of a chore, the walk speed feels appropriate, but also kind of slow, sorry if that's confusing lol. Maybe a sprint mechanic w stamina would help that and keep movement a lil more interesting and engaging. The wolf interactions were the most fun, and I really liked the pace change at the end where we need manage carrying the girl but also fighting the wolves, even though it's kind of easy to just drop her and take care of business, it was a nice touch. Good job overall!
Apr 7 19:24:45 11h 55m Endless Ninjas ♥ 0 Everything looks, feels, and sounds, good. Great job! I'm not crazy about stamina mechanics because it doesn't feel great to press a button and not do the thing you wanted to do. Doesn't effect the rating at all, just wanted to share my lil peeve lol 😅
Apr 7 19:49:57 25m 12s The Inevitable Blast! ♥ 1 Very cool asteroid/defender type game! Artwork is great, music fits the aesthetic, very nice. The gameplay was interesting, not sure about the sprite flipping thing, feels weird. I'd also like to aim with the mouse, but using the keys is also more challenging. Good job!
Apr 7 21:03:24 1h 13m Foster The Beeples ♥ 1 Very cute! I'm a terrible caretaker lol I really like the cute characters. Keeping your room for each new Beeple is a nice touch of progression. My biggest suggestion would be to try and make the visuals a little more consistent. There's a variety of pixel sizes and even different fonts. I ran into a bug where adopting more people through the camera's position out of whack. I'm sure we can chalk it up to jam time constraints. Unsolicited Idea: Randomly generated Beeples! Good job overall!!!
Apr 7 21:19:42 16m 18s Cursed Unicorn ♥ 2 Funny lore! Not sure why you opted out of humor. I kind of like the auto aim thing, the upgrade mechanic is great but the attack speed upgrades don't feel impactful enough. Eventually the zombies were giving each other piggyback rides and I couldn't jump over the conga line lol Good job overall!
Apr 7 22:37:49 1h 18m Into The Light ♥ 1 Beautiful! 5/5! I love the 1-screen survival thing, but I also think this could be expanded into linear levels where you try to shepherd your bros to the promised land passed all the different types of lights. Seems like a really cool universe/idea to explore. Great job!
Apr 8 20:18:33 21h 40m Strata ♥ 1 Very good. Amazing visuals, animation and presentation, everything is very good, that hit effect with subliminal messages is very cool. The IK walking hands very cool and creepy but needs bit of fine tuning. I wish it was a lil easier to get bullets because of how fun it feels to shoot 😄 Great job overall!
Apr 8 20:34:51 16m 18s Erefos ♥ 4 Very good entry! Everything looks feels and sounds great! I wish hazards were a lil more visible. While most areas are nice and simple, that down attack section seemed especially brutal while introducing a more complicated maneuver. The fading light mechanic looks cool and is appropriate for the theme, but also feels a little cheap when it gets too dark to see anything I just have to wait the next few seconds to die and try again. Very good job overall!
Apr 8 20:44:38 9m 47s Volcano Maintenance ♥ 1 Very cool! Visually cute, love the style. Sounds appropriate and the game pace is nice and speedy. I don't know if I was doing something wrong, but the big meat men who shake the trees didn't seem effected by my tossing bananas (or any of the fruits) into their face.
Apr 21 02:46:16 294h 01m Quota Qrunch ♥ 3 Very nice... Only constructive feedback I have is the font is nice, but is a bit hard to read for dialog. Everything else is great, I love the ending. Beep boop. ps (I like Y-axis inverted 😉 )
Apr 21 02:55:41 9m 25s Lava is Deadly ♥ 1 Very interesting delay mechanic. Gets a hard to understand but has a lot of potential.
Apr 21 03:01:13 5m 32s Clear Skies with a Chance of Meteors ♥ 1 Fun game! I think it could be bit more engaging with a clear goal, like "save 100 people to win", or something like that. Just a thought! I like the visibility of the meteor on its collision course. Great job!
Apr 21 03:08:00 6m 47s The Assessment ♥ 2 Very fun Wario-ware-Like. Music was great! Crazy being able to make so many games within a game while the rest of us struggle to make 1 lol 😄 Great job yall!
Apr 21 03:20:55 12m 55s Sakura Shrine ♥ 1 Looks and sounds very nice. The gameplay was hard to get into. I wish the pedals had different colors or auras or something, and even with all the sign posts it's a little hard to figure out where to go. Great job on the visuals and overall mood.
Apr 21 03:26:22 5m 27s Merge Getaway ♥ 0 Solid and fun hyper casual experience! Very good job!
Apr 21 03:39:26 13m 04s Ground From Under Feet ♥ 1 Very cool idea. First off the visual effect on the dash is very cool, and it feels fun to zip around! I did that for a good 2 minutes before actually trying to play. I think a little "on-boarding" moment would be nice, just make sure the player understands all the buttons before the platforms start falling and such. Great job overall!
