| Apr 5 02:48:54 | SHUTTLECOCK: ARMAGEDDON | ♥ 2 | Nice game! Has a full game loop and is easy to get back into once defeated. Followed the theme of delaying the inevitable (destruction of earth). Simplistic, but impressive AI position prediction and some cool swing mechanics. Would be nice if the audio kept going instead of starting over, but it's an entertaining enough tune! Love the old school art style and the intro cutscenes set up the game nicely! | |
| Apr 5 03:00:57 | 12m 03s | Malpractice | ♥ 6 | Really enjoyed this one! Lots of different interactions and the pacing keeps up a nice challenge, even if the ramp up is a bit steep! The music is nice and smooth, contributing nicely to the style. Cartoony graphics, but seems to fit the mood very well. Great job! |
| Apr 5 03:09:52 | 8m 55s | Defending Hope | ♥ 0 | Nice little simulation game. There really isn't too much to do once the game begins, but it's entertaining enough watching how your placements affect the outcome of the sim. Nice creepy audio jam and some decent gunfire sfx. Graphics are simple but get the job done. |
| Apr 5 03:19:28 | 9m 36s | Untitled Arrow Game | ♥ 0 | Fun little game, you essentially shift your "shield" to one of the cardinal directions in order to eliminate (protect yourself from) the arrows. Took a little bit for me to understand how it all worked. Has a great selection of accessibility options and easy keybind changes. Cool little audio jam. The variations on arrow behaviors got me going, and the orange ones take you for a loop (literally!) |
| Apr 5 03:56:56 | 37m 28s | The Eclipse | ♥ 2 | Wow, what a cool game! Had me the most transfixed of anything I've played so far. A bit hard to understand how some of the resource conversions work and what's keeping the faction balance in place. Amazing animations, cool soothing music, neat art style! Great job! Hope y'all will keep working on this so I can play a more refined version in the future! |
| Apr 5 04:15:56 | 19m 00s | Salvation From The Alien Planet | ♥ 3 | Nice little RTS style game! Has a good bit of challenge, mostly introduced by the intense waves of enemies and managing health pools so your characters don't die. Has leaderboards, though I can't seem to get on them even though I seem to have beat the high score a few times. Really cool, cute pixel graphics. Great job! |
| Apr 5 04:28:04 | 12m 08s | Death and Taxes: A Puzzle Game | ♥ 1 | Took a bit for me to get the hang of the system Essentially, you can ignore the left most move (the one you will do) and shift it to the back of the queue (far right). Once you've resisted a move, it will be deleted after it is finally used. Cool puzzle mechanic; would make a neat mobile game! The install was a bit weird. Had to unzip, then had to extract again after running the game file, then could run the 2nd extracted set of files. |
| Apr 5 04:37:43 | 9m 39s | Doomsday | ♥ 2 | Pretty basic game, but kept me entertained for a few minutes and tired out my blasting fingers. Definitely fits the theme once you manage to break through the first meteor. Seems like you can't do anything to stop the second one. |
| Apr 5 04:41:46 | 4m 03s | Down The Rabbit Hole | ♥ 0 | Fairly basic, but the difficulty curve starts out as super difficult. Could use a slower ramp up and a bit more responsive controls, but really, it gets the job done and is entertaining for what it is. Is essentially an "endless" faller where you circle around the stage loop. Random generation? Seems like it. |
| Apr 5 04:47:21 | 5m 35s | Extreme Plant Sitter | ♥ 3 | Love the premise! Actually is pretty funny and Humor is one of the tougher categories! Interesting premise, but fairly hard to manage everything. Could use a slower difficulty ramp up. |
| Apr 5 04:52:43 | 5m 22s | Magma Melt | ♥ 1 | Really good for a Compo entry! Stop the lava from burning down all of your houses. Never could figure out what button 3 was used for, and my general inclination was to try to push the "tool" icons which would cause me to waste moves. |
| Apr 5 05:13:34 | 20m 51s | Dungeon Crawl | ♥ 3 | Neat little menu based dungeon crawler. I like your take on needing to not succeed too much in order to "delay the inevitable" rise of your own possessed tyranny. Some of the options are rather humorous, though I can see that many of the enemies are far beyond the characters ability to deal with effectively. Cool pixel art and great base for a more in-depth game. Great job! |
| Apr 5 05:23:43 | 10m 09s | Mythical Mediator | ♥ 4 | The use of real videos is a really cool idea! The costumes y'all had were very good and this is quite an original concept! Understanding how to appease the gods and what will anger them was a bit unclear to me. |
