| Apr 5 08:40:01 | Flowers Photos & Pills | ♥ 5 | Short, but very moving. The hand-draw art is so lovely, as is the concept of the game and taking pictures to put in the memory book at the end. The only thing I wish is that you had a bit more control over what you can take pictures of, but I totally understand why its restricted! A super unique take on the theme, well done y'all <3 | |
| Apr 5 08:49:57 | 9m 56s | Damaged | ♥ 1 | Good fun! Felt like a little dungeon crawler, and very fast-paced action. I wasn't expecting the (spoilers) dragon at the end either π Some suggestions for improving it in the future: - I would make the dash shorter and less floaty, currently it turns you into a big floaty sonic the hedgehog haha. It did make it fun though! - Add feedback to hitting enemies like making them flash for 0.1 seconds - Make the health drain faster and more obvious, I think it was hard for me to see the constant drain effect (or maybe I'm just that good at the game π) |
| Apr 5 08:57:07 | 7m 10s | No Match | ♥ 1 | This made me realise how terrible my currently covid-infected-brain is right now haha. How is it so hard to remember what I drew 5 seconds ago! Such a great vibe, I love it. |
| Apr 5 09:04:06 | 6m 59s | Bussin | ♥ 1 | I am terrible at this game! But its fun, and definitely an innovative take on the theme. If I had to make a suggestion, I would say to give a more accurate idea of where you're going to grab, as a lot of my failures were because I coulda sworn I was picking up the plate but instead flung a shot glass into space π stellar game though, well done |
| Apr 5 10:03:13 | 59m 07s | I Don't Wanna Reincarnation | ♥ 2 | Incredible. Beautiful mood, love the little slices of life you're told through each time's event. The artwork is fantastic and really sells the whole thing. |
| Apr 5 10:27:42 | 24m 29s | Fire Punch | ♥ 2 | This was a fun lil platformer! I wasn't sure what the connection to the theme was, but the movement was tight and the combat was juicy. It was excessively hard though! Getting past those fire wizards with only 4 health and no health pickups was a real task. Fun though :) |
| Apr 5 10:45:21 | 17m 39s | Miss Bunny & Mr le Sheep | ♥ 3 | Christ! This was a lot more emotionally taxing that I had been expecting π Wonderfully written and very cruelly made to make it hard to choose - how could you! It would have been nice to see a text write=up at the end for the person you saved too π great job! |
| Apr 5 10:53:53 | 8m 32s | Witch's End | ♥ 0 | Super fun! And addictive as the screenshot of that stream shows ;) You can get some fun crazy builds, very much enjoyed |
| Apr 5 11:05:42 | 11m 49s | Don't Fall Asleep! | ♥ 4 | Nailed it! Very impressed by the amount of minigames and detail around the apartment, can see this was a big team effort and its super dope that it came together so well! I didn't notice a single bug (except the ones i had to squish myself ;)). Visuals/sound design/gameplay, all stellar. Great job y'all <3 gem.png |
| Apr 5 11:11:51 | 6m 09s | OBRUTA | ♥ 2 | Such beautiful graphics! Very fun to play around in, the roll and character controller are very satisfying. Very impressed by the visuals |
| Apr 5 11:22:43 | 10m 52s | Cosmic Contact | ♥ 2 | Crikey! Was not expecting to have the crap scared out of me π The ending part was great and very unexpected, I started out thinking it was just exploration and chatting but wow. Great job! |
| Apr 5 11:25:15 | 2m 32s | Destination Hibernation | ♥ 1 | Ahh its such a shame that you didn't get a chance to put gameplay in, because these visuals are amazing! I absolutely adore the hand-painted style and chill vibes music. Great job on what you did get done, and next time I'm sure you'll get it done in time! <3 |
| Apr 5 13:46:09 | 2h 20m | The Fire Will Die | ♥ 1 | Fantastic. Really impressed by the writing in this game, I loved reading all the dialog and learning about the characters even though I'd only just met them. I felt bad for all the wolves I threw rocks at, but it was a necessary evil π Great job! |
| Apr 5 13:50:55 | 4m 46s | Orange MΓ©canique | ♥ 2 | Lovely little citrusy game, I like the style a lot! The colour scheme is great and the gameplay is fun and kinda addicting. I hope the orange spent his money on something nice! |
| Apr 5 14:13:31 | 22m 36s | Concave Knave | ♥ 0 | As others have said, cool to see a side on fighting game in a jam! Interesting concept to keep adding features to the boss as you beat them over and over, kinda like phases in some other boss fights. Good job! I think it could have used player health in the UI, and some wind-up on the boss melee attacks as when they happen its too fast to dodge (for an old person like me anyway haha). |
| Apr 5 14:20:19 | 6m 48s | Neon Meltdown | ♥ 1 | Fun to play, reminded me of the old asteroid games but with a neon twist. The flight was a bit floaty with the controls, and the bullets I think could use a slightly bigger hitbox, but otherwise a good entry. Good job! |
| Apr 5 14:27:37 | 7m 18s | Mr. Psychologist | ♥ 5 | I think I literally always got the wrong answer π good fun though, enjoyed reading all the whacky dialog of the patients. I was impressed at how many different situations there were, and how subtly the painting / music changes as you continuingly get it wrong (at least in my case). Encouraging! |
| Apr 5 14:35:26 | 7m 49s | PopCat Hoover Disaster | ♥ 2 | Haha hilarious, I love this lil cat! Especially its face when it moves :O Nicely made, and fun to platform across - I got to 46 items dropped I think, about 84 seconds was my max and then the hoover sped up to light speed π Great job. |
| Apr 5 14:52:00 | 16m 34s | Highrail to hell | ♥ 1 | Well if it aint a BadPiggy game π Great as always. Love the super responsive controls and movement, the juicy kick, the terrifying horde, and your classic 2/3d-ish style. As always, i just wish there was more of it because I'm greedy haha |
| Apr 5 15:06:17 | 14m 17s | Locomorphosis | ♥ 2 | Ooooh I love the track laying mechanic on here, I wanted it to keep going forever! Very impressed at this being done for a jam, there's so many things going on! Great job, great sub |
| Apr 5 15:12:28 | 6m 11s | Boris and the Miserable Factory of Mr. Bossman | ♥ 3 | This is a fantastically fun experience! Really hope more people see it because its loads of fun. Where do all of these weird objects come from in a soup factory? Boris doesn't care, just get the job done. Must say taking a baby off the production line only to throw it into an incinerator was an experience. |
| Apr 5 15:26:40 | 14m 12s | Misfortune in the Galaxy | ♥ 2 | Hilarious! The instructors face was mildly terrifying, but then he got hit by that meteor which is okay π Very stressful and a fun engineering minigame. Great fun! Only complaint I will echo from above is that when the time gets in the last 1-2/10ths, the screenshake makes it literally impossible to do tasks as you cant hold your cursor on anything. Otherwise all dope! |
| Apr 5 15:32:49 | 6m 09s | Market Maker | ♥ 2 | Hilarious and depressing at the same time π Good fun! The text on the cards was also very funny. Great job. I got wrecked inside of a month! |
| Apr 5 16:01:55 | 29m 06s | Earworm Jam | ♥ 6 | Haha this was adorable, and I love that you made an actual earworm for the earworm game - its damn catchy! The song kinda reminded me of the Lava / volcanoes song that Pixar did a while ago. Super cute and nice! Once I understood the mechanic was more than *just* getting perfect beats, I got much further. Got around 1600 on my best run, then the jump was too slow to avoid obstacles in a row haha. Really good submission, super impressed! |
| Apr 5 16:05:17 | 3m 22s | πΈ Froggy Thunder: Toad-al Recall πΈ | ♥ 2 | ^ I second the above comment π what in the fruit fly WAS that thing? Those squishy sounds will live in my nightmares. Good job! |
| Apr 5 17:20:59 | 1h 15m | Different Strokes | ♥ 3 | This is astoundingly good. I wandered around for like 20 minutes, drew a caterpillar, fixed some rude drawings, reported some dicks, got lost in it all. The aesthetic is MWAH, beautiful, and the vibe is dope. This is a game I would love to come back to frequently to see how it evolves. |
| Apr 5 18:38:08 | 1h 17m | Strangling | ♥ 3 | Really dope hand drawn artstyle, felt very dark in a sort of Limbo-esque kind of world. The whacky characters all over the place were very interesting, would love for some deeper lore in the story of this weird universe. Great job! |
| Apr 5 18:47:08 | 9m 00s | Delayed Trickshot | ♥ 1 | Suuuuper smoothly put together. Wasn't sure on the theme at first but then it clicked - very clever! Reminds me of similar games from the past but with a new twist. Also the bouncy block's visuals are hypnotisingly nice haha |
| Apr 5 20:50:14 | 2h 03m | Wormageddon | ♥ 4 | Errrr, this is goddamn amazing. Like, wow. I wasn't expecting to find something like this right at the top of the games queue! The combat is so precise and feels so good, the visuals are sick, the concept is solid and everything just *flows*. The mix of 2d and 3d is done to perfection where it was hard for me to tell what was real and what was faked. Huge applause, very well done |
| Apr 5 21:06:49 | 16m 35s | 1 Man 6 Bullets | ♥ 5 | This is flippin' DOPE. Felt like hotline miami meets SUPERHOT. Very cool game, and an interesting take on the theme. Sound and visuals are poppin', the juice is juicy, and the bouncy bullets are... bouncy? great job! |
| Apr 5 21:10:28 | 3m 39s | The Sea Won't Stop | ♥ 1 | Short and sweet, and excessively funny writing. The comedy in the responses was fantastic, and I do truly wish the pirates had managed to patch the hole with the power of friendship. Great job! Love a good text adventure |
| Apr 5 21:14:16 | 3m 48s | I Know What You Did Last Ludum Dare! | ♥ 1 | This hurt my brain! I would be a terrible manager because my micro management skills are terrible haha. By the time I saw where someone was they were being stabbed π Fun take on the theme, and I wonder what the best score you can get is! Definitely not mine π |
| Apr 5 21:18:16 | 4m 00s | Un-Rooted | ♥ 3 | As others have said, the realism of this game is depressing in its own way hahah. Hilarious, fun physics, and annoying coworkers! Great job <3 |
| Apr 5 21:41:07 | 22m 51s | Dating under the Comet | ♥ 2 | Woah! How was this made in only 72 hours!? So well done, love the fake tinder setup, the allusions to pushing problems away until its not yours anymore, the take on the theme is great. And the art style - superb. Coherent, consistent, and perfectly stylised. Dope! |
| Apr 5 21:47:25 | 6m 18s | Darko | ♥ 2 | Dope style, felt kinda like a stylised samurai kinda deal. The mechanic for dash-attacking to gain height was fun, and escaping the rising floor was a nice link to the theme. I didn't quite get how the combat worked at first but once I did it was buttery smooth. Nice job! |
| Apr 5 21:54:21 | 6m 56s | Balloon Panic! | ♥ 1 | As a pigeon hater, I approve of this game! I like it a lot, reminds me of the games of old like the helicopter game that you moved up and down with 1 button. The repair mechanic was also interesting. I think the movement was a bit too floaty for me, but otherwise dope |
| Apr 5 22:34:43 | 40m 22s | Mr. Second | ♥ 1 | Great job! The puzzle of this main mechanic hurt my head, but at one point it clicked and I got it down. Really beautiful looking game too, good stuff. Really well done! Are you thinking of continuing it? |
| Apr 5 22:49:01 | 14m 18s | Tactical Ghosts: The Impification | ♥ 2 | Haha so cool, though my wrist couldn't even keep up with the speed at 50% of the content! How did you do the rest?!? So fast! Really cool concept and a simple yet effective main mechanic. Great job |
| Apr 5 22:55:25 | 6m 24s | The Inevitable Sinking | ♥ 3 | This went from 'this is so easy!' to 'my wrist is falling off' in about 2 minutes! π Good fun, I loved the whacky enemies and simple but fun game design. |
| Apr 6 18:20:28 | 19h 25m | Horde of Methuselah | ♥ 1 | After reading everyone elses comments and pics I see my strategy was awful π I have massive population density and was building out so slowly! I had no idea the shelters were invincible ;) Absolutely great job, I could play this for ours (and may well do), so fun! Love me some rts sim games like this z.png |
| Apr 6 18:34:20 | 13m 52s | Shoal | ♥ 5 | Great mood! So chill and calming, despite all my lil dudes getting eaten or stuck on rocks π good job, really enjoyed this. |
| Apr 6 22:37:18 | 4h 02m | Life Finds a Way | ♥ 1 | Hilarious and so goddamn stressful! I was so quickly overwhelmed haha. Very fun take on the theme, and I love balthazar's character and mouth noises π great job |
| Apr 6 22:49:11 | 11m 53s | Eggspiration Date | ♥ 1 | Very cute, I love the bird's cell shader that reacts so nicely to the light. I wish the rest had been in the same style but of course its a gamejam and there's always time constraints! The gameplay was simple but satisfying, and I liked gliding around (though wish the flying had a bit more control and oomph to it). Good job! |
| Apr 6 22:54:28 | 5m 17s | Too Cute for Space Fights | ♥ 2 | The robot is so cute <3 Get them outta space and into somewhere safe! They tried their best but holy moly so many explosions π Really good fun, very hectic, and a clear link to the theme. The artwork is faaaaantastic, as is the smoothness of the progressive damage to the ship - very well implemented and very seamless. Great job overall! |
| Apr 6 23:11:35 | 17m 07s | The Last Savior | ♥ 2 | This was good fun! Love a good color-mechanic, and it was satisfying and juicy to smash the opponents with the different moves. I saved the kingdom on the first try, but it was tough! It would have been nice to maybe have a ranged ability too but maybe that would have taken the challenge out. Great submission! |
| Apr 6 23:18:51 | 7m 16s | Sapper Master | ♥ 3 | Got 120 on my second go once I understood the idea of the game - good fun! Very tight mechanic, and well implemented, so it was easy to understand once I got going. The cutting mechanic is great, even if a few times a bit frustrating as it cut like 99% of the wire but not all haha. If I had to make a suggestion it would be to vary the sound effects as they happen so many times, it would be nice to vary them a bit. And also maybe turn the orientation of the wires to horizontal as a random variation to mix it up more and test reaction speed π Great entry! bmb.png |
| Apr 6 23:27:17 | 8m 26s | Stir Cry | ♥ 1 | Hilarious and wonderfully stylised. This game feels like an acid trip in a good way. The shader for the hand-drawn style for 3d objects is dope, and the 2d art fits perfectly with it. Really dope jam submission and I already feel like I wanna play it again! |
| Apr 6 23:37:11 | 9m 54s | Later... | ♥ 2 | This is outlandishly well done - I am amazed at how much you got done for this! The art style is so cute and cozy, so many little unique animations and visuals, the audio is satisfying and juicy, and the post processing is so warm and nice. If only my real jam had been as relaxing as this one seemed π Stellar job, you should all be proud of this (and make something else in this exact style too π) |
| Apr 7 12:31:43 | 12h 54m | Malpractice | ♥ 4 | Very funny, especially the extra weird methods of death π The Ring girl kept getting me by surprise because I couldn't hear the TV sadly. Lots of fun little minigames and an overall hectic experience. Good job |
| Apr 7 12:55:03 | 23m 20s | Block or Bust | ♥ 2 | This is a top entry as many have said before me, really well made especially for a compo. I love the idea of a part time witch/manager harvesting bones to support a slowly sinking blockbusters while still have to split her time to scanning barcodes because of course π Those poor netflix employees! Great job |
| Apr 7 13:02:55 | 7m 52s | Demon Sigil | ♥ 2 | Oooh I wasn't sure I was actually going to be able to win, but I beat the boss at the end! The shooting is satisfying and I love the lil skeleton graphics. Fun gameplay and it did link with the theme with the feeling that it was inevitable that the walls would fall. As others have said aiming can feel a bit off, but overall you adapt to that pretty quick! Great job |
| Apr 8 14:12:24 | 25h 09m | You Are A Bomb | ♥ 1 | 2:30 was my best, good fun and a very simple concept for the player to understand! It was quite frustrating at the end that due to chance, all bombs fell in holes in the ground and blew up immediately for about 5-6 bombs in a row so I died, but hey - it is only delaying the inevitable ;) Good fun |
| Apr 8 14:50:37 | 38m 13s | plant. | ♥ 1 | Calming and zen <3 I wasn't sure what was killing some of my branches, but it was still very satisfying. Love the growth |
| Apr 8 20:58:03 | 6h 07m | Carpe Diem | ♥ 1 | I spent WAY too long on this, and probably will spend more. Too addictive. Super dope entry! The overlapping tiles sometimes throw you up into the air which can be frustrating, and the responsiveness of the rotation could use a little nudge upwards I think, but otherwise great. |
| Apr 9 16:29:52 | 19h 31m | Domotichaos | ♥ 1 | I got 275s which seems to be the going score to get π Very funny concept for a game and a great take on the theme, as someone who also is very passionate about turning off all the electricals in the house to reduce my bills it hit close to home π Great models, great audio, great gameplay! Good job all around |
| Apr 9 16:32:44 | 2m 52s | Drowsy Drop | ♥ 3 | Crazy good looking art as many have said already! And a fun concept for a game that fits very nicely with the theme. Reminds me of a certain mini-game in fall guys, in a good way! Love the gameplay, lots of fun and I am SO bad at it π good job! |
