| Apr 17 01:10:03 | Duct Tape in Space | ♥ 1 | Cool idea! The controls took a minute to get used to, but they actually worked pretty well once I got going. I didn't fully understand what was going to happen by reading the instructions, but the game explains itself very well. I had fun, and it's easy to imagine a few more bells and whistles thrown on if you ever want to expand the concept. Thanks for the game, and congrats on your first jam! :) | |
| Apr 17 01:17:15 | 7m 12s | Word Wizard | ♥ 0 | Awesome! Game was pretty easy once I found the start button. Very charming. I love the style. Audio and graphics work well together. Congrats on the great entry! |
| Apr 17 01:25:07 | 7m 52s | Embers | ♥ 1 | Nice! Looks like you've got your sights on making an RPG ;) The hex animations were cool. The best thing I can think of to add would be to allow the player to input the next move during the walking animation, so the next move can start as soon as the player arrives in a hex. I think that will make it feel a lot smoother. I just finished my Extra entry, too; feel free to check it out! |
| Apr 17 01:31:31 | 6m 24s | Stop the ocean | ♥ 1 | Cool concept. I don't think the difficulty selector was working for me on Windows 10. I couldn't tell which was selected, and it was very easy. The controls were very sensitive, especially the zoom, and I kept getting left and right confused. Interesting theme though, and I dig the funky island music :) |
| Apr 17 04:39:16 | 3h 07m | You will drown | ♥ 1 | Nice! This game has some good ideas and was a perfect fit for the theme. The music wasn't really my style, but I appreciated the fun game. BTW, the guide says to right-click for buildings, but I think everything was working with left-click. |
| Apr 17 05:52:58 | 1h 13m | Earth Watcher | ♥ 1 | Cool concept, and an interesting take on the theme. The main issue I ran into was slightly missing the hitbox for playing a card, and accidentally spinning the world around. Congrats on the cool entry! |
| Apr 17 05:59:42 | 6m 44s | Breakfast Time in Dream Land | ♥ 1 | I love the interpretation of the theme! The struggle for trying to sleep in is real. I was a little disappointed that it ended up being a pretty standard shmup and didn't necessarily feel like trying to sleep. But it's a pretty solid entry. Great graphics, sfx, and music. Congrats on the game! |
| Apr 17 06:19:59 | 20m 17s | Kiwis Can't Fly | ♥ 1 | I love it! We took very different approaches to bird games :D I don't want to repeat everyone else here, but you got top marks from me. I found the game on itch.io and I would recommend linking to this page there (there is a spot for it in the game details page). Congrats!! |
| Apr 17 15:57:56 | 9h 37m | Somnum Exterreri | ♥ 2 | I love the spooky atmosphere! The bridge took me a few tries but I got it eventually `:D |
| Apr 17 16:11:11 | 13m 15s | Lava Tactics | ♥ 1 | Very cool! I really felt like I was delaying the inevitable :D Everything made sense and worked as it should. It would be nice if dead teammates looked different than living ones. I liked the hotdog, and the fact that you can aggro the bears. Congrats on a great entry! |
| Apr 17 16:25:24 | 14m 13s | Final Forest | ♥ 0 | This rules! I think everything works great. I had two issues. The first was figuring out how to go back to the build menu. Clicking the big tree is a good idea, but it just didn't come to me naturally. The other thing was that enemies would hide behind trees so I couldn't target them. Other than that, the game was fun, good looking, had a fitting soundtrack, and fit the theme perfectly! Congrats on a great game. |
| Apr 18 23:54:07 | 31h 28m | CLIMATE GARDENING | ♥ 2 | I think you have a solid foundation here. The concept is great, and the artwork and audio support it very well. I think it could use some fine-tuning. I would start by making everything go maybe 4x faster. Either I didn't know what was happening or there is just a lot of waiting for plants to grow. It didn't look like my spruces were fighting the cars; I don't really know how that whole part of it works. But a great starting point, congrats on the entry! |
| Apr 18 23:57:17 | 3m 10s | Defend 'till the end | ♥ 0 | Nice! The spinning earth is a true work of art 😍 |
| Apr 19 00:01:34 | 4m 17s | Ready... Set... SLOW!! | ♥ 1 | This is great! Love the mode 7 style graphics. Very clever and works well. Congrats! |
| Apr 19 00:25:54 | 24m 20s | Demon Sigil | ♥ 2 | Cool idea where the first part strengthens the boss fight. I couldn't find my health bar though, so I died unexpectedly. |
| Apr 19 00:36:19 | 10m 25s | Beebs Bump | ♥ 0 | I didn't get it, but I clicked everything and got to level 48. |
| Apr 19 00:49:46 | 13m 27s | Waking Gerald | ♥ 1 | This is a tough one. I love the aesthetic. The calming Receiver-style narration was great, but too quiet. The graphics are super. Unfortunately, the game was really upsetting to play. I had no clue that triple-jumping was a thing until I died four times and checked back here. Then I didn't get much farther without lots of deaths and gave up. Maybe it could feel more dreamlike and be more forgiving? But great work on the art! |
| Apr 19 05:09:29 | 4h 19m | Coming for you | ♥ 1 | This is great! A fun concept and the frantic gameplay fits perfectly with the story of the game and theme of the jam. One thing I would suggest is to allow the player to get their bearings before Death appears. Maybe let them get a key and open a door just to get a feel of how the game works. Congrats on the game, I enjoyed it! |
| Apr 19 05:19:40 | 10m 11s | Wayfinder | ♥ 1 | Excellent interpretation of the theme. Procedurally generated levels are a nice feat for a compo game. Good level of difficulty. Great job! Be sure to review a bunch of games so you get a score! |
