Apr 4 00:55:01		5 More Minutes	♥ 1	Fun game that really tests your multitasking. Really like the little story on the phone. Sadly we all had to inevitably have a productive day.
Apr 4 01:28:27	33m 26s	Not Enough Time: The Game	♥ 1	I like the concept, with shooting giving more time. It is very difficult, but it kept me entertained for a while. The explosions were great as well.
Apr 4 01:32:06	3m 39s	Don't Touch It!	♥ 1	I love the idea of delaying a world disaster. The graphics are good too, although you can see that the arms and legs are floating and detached with the camera angle. The gameplay was easy to learn as well. The menu was also very creative. I love the small touch that you can hit the button during the game.
Apr 4 01:44:19	12m 13s	Ludare OS	♥ 1	The game is fantastic. There was a lot of polish for this GameBoy game. The graphics were spectacular. I loved the small touch of the game glitching out when the encryption started to grow. It was hard to realize where the little plates to apply the operation however. This is probably one of my favorites already.
Apr 4 01:55:21	11m 02s	Over the Rainbow Bridge	♥ 4	The art style is simple but effective. The story about the dog's life is pretty emotional. The symbolism of the rainbow bridge is great as well. The game is simple, but achieves what it set out to do.
Apr 4 02:01:57	6m 36s	Boing & Bonk	♥ 1	The game is very simple, but it was entertaining. The itch.io page was very well done. I had no idea you could use GIF files for the banner. The presentation is good, and the characters are cute. I do think the game should get more difficult the longer you go on. Maybe a wider variety of obstacles would help as well.
Apr 4 20:56:55	18h 54m	Super Cyber Jelly	♥ 1	The game is incredibly difficult. It is hard to tell where the lasers are going due to the poor camera angle. Jumping is difficult due the lack of vertical depth. The graphics were good however, and the main character's design is nice as well.
Apr 4 21:06:06	9m 11s	Getting Old	♥ 1	The style is good, with the 2D characters on the 3D world. The concept is great as well. The gameplay is fairly fun. It is hard to see the enemies in front of you as the camera blocks it.
Apr 4 21:15:53	9m 47s	Out of Controls?	♥ 1	The concept of losing your controls and having to remap them to get a fighting chance is amazing. The controls are very sensitive which makes it hard to dodge projectiles. Overall it is a very creative and entertaining game.
Apr 4 21:37:45	21m 52s	RESET	♥ 2	The story was good, the ending was really dark. It really fit the theme of trying to delay the inevitable. The gameplay was really simple but it worked fine. The music was decent, with the small touch of it slowing down. Good work! I love lamp.
Apr 4 21:48:27	10m 42s	...Rise of the Toasty Tomato	♥ 1	The art style is great, with the monochromatic art. The gameplay is pretty decent, although I was confused by the lack of mouse controls at the start. I feel like adding color to differentiate the cards would make it more easier to understand. I ended up breaking the game as I selected an enemy after I died, and the menu stayed while the battle was occurring.
Apr 4 22:00:33	12m 06s	🙃 Misaligned AI: The Game 🙂	♥ 1	The presentation was good, although the music seems really quiet. The AI just gave me really confusing cut off sentences. There doesn't seem to be a particular goal to achieve that isn't to keep the HP above 0. It is a pretty clever idea though. Nice job.
Apr 4 22:13:06	12m 33s	Alien Recon	♥ 1	The building was a bit confusing, maybe a description of what each item does would make it easier to understand. On one of my runs, the aliens seemed to only spawn on the top left corner. The gameplay is good as well. It was a fairly fun game. Nice job.
Apr 5 19:28:51	21h 15m	Winter strikes back!	♥ 2	The art is really nice, especially the painted style. The cutscenes are good, although I think an indicator to click would be a nice QOL change. I liked the controls, it was like controlling a pogo stick. Nice job!
Apr 5 19:41:05	12m 14s	Foster The Beeples	♥ 1	Fun game. Taking care of the Beeples is good, and the money is fairly balanced. Although when my Beeple died and I selected another one, for some reason the second one was invisible. Except for that strange bug, it was a good game!
Apr 5 19:48:25	7m 20s	jobbie	♥ 1	Didn't like how you had to install it. It should've been exported as a single runtime version. A decent game. I feel like a wider variety instead of the 2 questions the boss asks would be better. I liked the multitasking required. The graphics are very basic, and there seems to be no audio at all. The game functions as expected, although it is hard to tell which letter you have to type.
Apr 5 20:20:57	32m 32s	The Beast Within	♥ 1	The idea is amazing. I feel like it could be expanded into a fuller game. Navigating the house is a bit confusing due to the diagonal camera. It is really fun to try and stop yourself from escaping. I stumbled across a glitch under the first floor stairs where I was able to get the character stuck in the stairs, making the game very easy. I really liked this game, probably one of my favorites.
Apr 5 21:11:11	50m 14s	Meteor Power	♥ 2	The game is surprisingly polished, with a very detailed settings menu. I really like how you can zoom the camera in and out. The graphics and music are also very good. I like the controls, even if they did take a while to learn. I feel like a way to pan the camera would make things significantly easier. However, I can't seem to find out how to finish a level. I built all of the solar towers and seemingly plugged them in, but I always inevitably end up in a massive meteor storm that inevitably wipes out all of them. Unless the game is meant to go on forever, but the fastest time and total score in the menu seem to hint at the level having an end goal. I feel like a more detailed tutorial would be very useful.
Apr 5 21:33:59	22m 48s	End of the World Pinball	♥ 1	Pinball is always fun. The physics seem to be pretty good. The table looks great, I love the pixel art style. I like how there's a goal to launch the spaceship. It reminds me of Space Cadet. It is also fairly impressive being written in Java. Hope to see this developed more. Nice job.
Apr 5 21:46:58	12m 59s	ENDURACE - Drift Or Die	♥ 3	Really liked this game. It's a fun game. I like how the cars get visibly more damaged. The controls work well. The graphics are good, but when going under the tunnel, sometimes the game has trouble figuring out what to cull. The framerate on the WebGL version isn't that good. Nice game!
Apr 5 21:58:33	11m 35s	mote	♥ 1	The visuals and style are great. The audio is really well made, I especially like how the sound pans with where you are. It is a very atmospheric experience. Nice job.
Apr 5 22:11:06	12m 33s	The Pride of South Bastule	♥ 1	A very confusing game, however it's definitely an interesting concept, especially while looking at the code. The dependencies are incorrectly written. You need to install ``webvtt-py`` and ``youtube-search-python`` from pip. It is definitely ambitious, and would probably be better if it was expanded with a longer story and perhaps some clearer instructions as to how the game works.
Apr 5 23:24:16	1h 13m	phon-ey wars	♥ 0	Nice job. The game is pretty fun with the very simple but surprisingly engaging gameplay. I like that you can buy upgrades to assist with keeping the hands away. I think that the game is very easy though, with the high HP and the very overpowered items. It is impressive that you made it from scratch with C/C++.
Apr 5 23:38:41	14m 25s	GameJam Tycoon	♥ 1	Very relatable in some parts. I liked some of the writing, it made me chuckle. Some of the prompts repeated often, sometimes back to back. It's hard to really tell what changed. One moment you may have 500 in savings, and then you'll be in the negatives. Good game though, pretty unique.
Apr 5 23:52:21	13m 40s	Circleville	♥ 1	I surprisingly figured out what I was supposed to do quickly, although more a more specific tutorial would be useful. I like the idea of the puzzle. The controls are strange but it gets simple once you figure it out. I love the atmosphere of the game, with the raw binary audio and the very simplistic graphics, it really has an uneasy mood. It probably isn't very replayable, perhaps better as a minigame. Good job in making it in C++, it must've been difficult to really get it to work properly. Nice job.
Apr 6 00:14:08	21m 47s	Orbles	♥ 4	A really well made game. The visuals are really great and are surprisingly fluid. The music is good, there seems to be not many sound effects however. The gameplay is very difficult, but you learn more and start to progress on the goal. Your team did a great job making this in only ~72 hours.
Apr 6 00:29:09	15m 01s	Dr. Tantalus Quest for World Domination	♥ 0	It was a decently fun game. Although it kind of breaks when you can run around, get in a corner and shoot to avoid the recoil. Maybe if you can't control Dr. Tantalus, then you'd have to think a lot more. When the bomb went off, there was a fail message, but you already addressed that. The gameplay was simple to grasp with a brief, but effective guide at the top. The contrast on the force field makes it hard to see where you're placing it. It's a fun concept, and you did a good job at executing it.
Apr 6 00:40:48	11m 39s	Infection	♥ 0	The game is pretty fun. I liked the sprites, simple but effective. The music is good, although the loop is a bit off. The gameplay is good, with the guns feeling satisfying to shoot. It was really easy to understand what you're supposed to do. I feel that the game is a bit too easy. Maybe making the heals more scarce, making the zombies faster, or limiting ammo would help increase the difficulty. Also when you die, the game keeps your mouse hidden, making navigating the menu difficult. Despite those flaws, it was a fun game and you did a really good job at it.
Apr 6 20:51:30	20h 10m	Extinguished	♥ 1	I liked the use of the theme. The gameplay worked fine, and was simple to understand. I liked the character design. The portal's hitbox is a bit confusing. It doesn't have much variety in it. Nice job.
Apr 6 21:08:35	17m 05s	Kharon's Twilight	♥ 1	I had a lot of fun playing this one. The gameplay is easy to understand and is very entertaining. The biggest problem is that the tusk beasts cause the game to drop in framerate. When you get far enough in the game, it is completely unplayable as it freezes. I really liked this game, sadly the framerate bug really hurts it. Nice job!
Apr 6 21:28:09	19m 34s	Do Your Job!	♥ 1	The usage of the theme is very good. I think putting labels on the bars would've made it far easier to understand that they were supposed to represent water, food, and sleep. The gameplay was super basic, just running to give unhealthy amounts of coffee to people and to also take care of your needs. I feel like the needs fill up very slowly. I think that some audio cues for the people who need coffee would be nice to notify you. The game needed an exit button so that you won't have to Alt+F4 it when you're done. The graphics are pretty nice. I like the funny little story. The controls were simple and easy to understand. Overall, pretty nice entry.
