Apr 4 05:20:45		A Drag on Chaos	♥ 1	This is excellent. The rebound of the control when it strikes the pendulums is very tactile. Drawing out the paths of the pendulums is an excellent touch, as it's always a mesmerizing thing to watch. The adaptive nature of the music and visuals as things begin happening is fantastic. It all feels incredibly polished for something that started in a different place.
Apr 4 05:45:56	25m 11s	Circleville	♥ 2	Truly bizarre. I always enjoy unpacking strange interfaces and mechanics. This sort of thing takes me back to my earliest experiences with video games, when they lacked the space and processing to explain or tutorialize and game design in general was still being discovered. I especially like the way the audio was generated, very interesting technique, and creates a surprising ambience. Excellent!
Apr 4 07:07:17	1h 21m	Over Horde	♥ 1	This is a nice submission for your first time! With GDevelop, you could also export for web and allow people to play it right on the game's itch.io page.
Apr 4 07:20:56	13m 39s	Don't Melt	♥ 1	This was a fun play. I like how generous the controls are. The music had a good bop, I like the toms a lot. The sun art was funny too, it was so devious and out to getcha. When I got to the end I thought there was going to be a dark twist 😈 Nice work on this!
Apr 4 07:37:28	16m 32s	IRS: Infinite Record Sorter	♥ 1	This game is really fun and funny. Great use of physics. I like that I could tether the objects from anywhere and that there was no restriction on range. The music is nice too.
Apr 4 07:53:28	16m 00s	A duck on ice	♥ 1	Dang that is a sad story. We are all the toy duck too. 😭 I liked this a lot, very funny and enjoyable.
Apr 4 08:20:48	27m 20s	Lava is Deadly	♥ 2	I agree with above. Controlling the timing of the different effects is satisfying. The inclusion of a slippery banana is funny too.
Apr 4 08:50:08	29m 20s	Last Bastion of Wizardom	♥ 0	I like the surreal aesthetic of this game a lot. It feels like a strange and magical place. The odd face balloons are great. Gameplay wise had a rough start as I thought maybe I could not shoot, turned out I was pointing slightly at the ground which seems to prevent shooting. Was a bit confusing.
Apr 4 20:04:24	11h 14m	Wobbly Plankster	♥ 1	Is there a way to jump higher? Wondering how to get on to some of the platforms on the sides. I like the gam over audio 😆
Apr 5 02:50:30	6h 46m	Screen of Death	♥ 2	Wow multiple games for the price of one! I like that one of the buttons is broken too. Really cool idea with the screen failing.
Apr 5 07:24:55	4h 34m	I Would Like to Thank the Academy	♥ 2	I got some chuckle worthy parts, some puzzling ones, and some ho-hum passages too. I love this take on the theme, very surprising! Nice work!
Apr 5 07:44:35	19m 40s	The Streamer's Dilemma	♥ 2	Ah my carpet! Very interesting idea for the game. It was a little difficult at first because I couldn't remember rpgmaker controls 😆 but I eventually figured it out after some false starts. The custom art was pretty cute! nice work.
Apr 5 08:05:45	21m 10s	Model-5C	♥ 2	I really dig the music, fits the setting nicely. Left me wanting to explore more of the ship, which is a good thing! I had a bit of a disconnect when I got to the part where it said I understand because I didnt understand! 😆 Overall a nice entry with a nice setting and vibe.
Apr 6 07:42:40	23h 36m	The VortExperience	♥ 2	This was really fun and funny! The story definitely fit the theme much better than I expected.
Apr 7 05:51:55	22h 09m	Mankind Sorrow	♥ 2	It was fun seeing the different options you chose to make available. Never thought that I could die from flirting, but I guess when it is your time to go...
Apr 7 06:01:43	9m 48s	Encroaching Void	♥ 0	Fun game, I really like the paint erasing mechanic.
Apr 7 06:10:07	8m 24s	Dire Darkness	♥ 1	Not sure what was going on but I couldn't shoot sometimes for odd amounts of time. I enjoyed turning around and seeing the zombie right there. Would definitely like to have more audio, especially cues from the zombies.
Apr 7 16:27:27	10h 17m	Snailatouille	♥ 1	The frog painting is my favorite. the visuals in general are great. I think the premise is hilarious, how you dug up or remembered a random reddit post for inspiration is quite funny. Physics games in general are hard to balance, but I think you pulled it off pretty well!
Apr 7 18:23:13	1h 55m	Final Forest	♥ 0	The machines are so OP. We woodland creatures don't stand a chance. 😿 I like this entry. The music gives it an almost whimsical feel despite the life and death situation going on in reality. I wouldn't mind a version of this where you just build up a massive squirrel empire.
Apr 8 03:44:42	9h 21m	Corbeille de Fruit - A série noire investigation	♥ 1	Interesting story, I like how it unfolded and surprised.
Apr 8 07:56:47	4h 12m	REWOB	♥ 1	Really nice work here. Great art and music. The interactions between the different entities in the game add a lot of complexity from just a few simple rules. Awesome! 🚀
Apr 8 07:59:31	2m 44s	The Apocawiz	♥ 1	Good to see you back on the LDJam jam!
Apr 8 16:29:11	8h 29m	Don't Let Them Sit There	♥ 1	This is fantastically creative and charming. Even though the goal was to not let them sit... I ended up letting them sit just to hear the dialogue. Really wonderful little game!
Apr 9 04:57:35	12h 28m	Disaster City	♥ 1	Something that struck me as I played was how much I enjoyed the simple experience of 'balancing the books' to achieve victory. I also think part of what makes this effective for me was that there weren't a ton of options and variables to consider. Many turn based strategy games bombard you with numbers and stats and options. Whether it be from the time constraint of the game jam format or through intent, you've managed to create a simple but satisfying distillation of the genre. Cheers! ☄️
Apr 9 05:08:52	11m 17s	Possum Blitz	♥ 1	I like the simplicity and purity of vision here. You simply must avoid being run over by an increasingly fast wave of traffic. The cars do not care about you. The game does not try to trick you. It looks nice, the controls are perfect and the sounds match the aesthetic. 🚗
Apr 12 00:40:11	67h 31m	Fronk Frizby - Qoffee Cuest	♥ 2	@liquidfunk I don't think the combat being shallow is a bad thing. I appreciate it. I think jrpg combat is shallow by nature, and games tend to just throw more options at it to make it seem less so, but ultimately its just a gate where you either have the numbers to bypass it or not. If you lose you reload the save and grind or hope for better RNG. Since your game focuses more on comedy, the combat feels more a parody of those mechanics. I also found it interesting that I wasn't sure if I could lose or not. I really liked the varied descriptions of the attacks as well, very creative and funny! TL/DR I like the combat feeling like a parody and think you should lean into it even more!
Apr 12 01:08:09	27m 58s	Holding On	♥ 1	This is definitely one of those cases where the "Fun" category doesn't really make sense. The graphics are nice and the audio while sparse is totally appropriate for the mood. Seems definitely a very personal project, I hope making this and putting it out there was therapeutic in some way! Well done.
Apr 12 01:22:45	14m 36s	Pig-ment: Eat n Die	♥ 0	Head scratcher at the beginning, got better after I watched the gifs here on the submission page. the sprites are very cute, though I felt bad for devouring the cute bird!
Apr 13 07:18:33	29h 55m	Vesuvius	♥ 0	I loved this theme usage. Sacrifice living things in a silly attempt to stop nature from unleashing the inevitable destruction. I liked the sound effects, in particular I found the different levels of noisiness or bitrate between them rather fascinating.
Apr 13 07:26:01	7m 28s	Turbo Toilet Tomfoolery!	♥ 1	This game made me laugh out loud! The goofy steering controls fits the comedic aspect. The way the character looks when he runs. And that inevitable pee. Very funny!
Apr 15 21:48:44	62h 22m	Virtomae - Virtual Pet Buddy - Pet Anything	♥ 1	Neat. I always thought virtual pet games were pretty interesting and wondered what happened to them. Nice to see one. Alpha v0.2.9 thoughts: The various customization options are a neat idea, I didn't dig in and test them just noted that they were there. I like the street view with different places to visit. I think this is a promising project!
