Apr 4 13:48:37 Hydropy ♥ 1 It took me a couple plays to get exactly how the mechanics worked, but I thought it was really cool once i figured it out :D An initial screen just explaining the mechanics in a tiny bit more detail would be cool (I think you just have to cut down X generations of trees in one spot to "find water"?), but the mechanics were simple and intuitive enough regardless. Original take on the theme :D
Apr 4 13:50:42 2m 05s Too Real ♥ 1 im out of pills and food but this game helped me avoid reality for a bit longer
Apr 4 14:18:43 28m 01s Super Crusher Fighters ♥ 4 Super cool game, love the graphics+audio and the fact that you made a NES game :D tbh I found it quite hard, I think the speed the crusher goes is good once you've internalized the controls but when I'm just starting out I found I was mostly struggling to mash the right buttons instead of thinking about where to place blocks lol. maybe I just suck though :)
Apr 4 14:23:34 4m 51s Wait For It ! ♥ 1 omg this is so cute, really put me in a good mood :D you did a great job setting a really lighthearted atmosphere, awesome work. All the mechanics felt good too and the individual games were easy to learn.
Apr 4 15:57:57 1h 34m Venting Machine ♥ 2 2022-04-04-105321_2560x1440_scrot.png Loved it :D gave me a good does of nostalgia, reminded me of some old flash games I was addicted to. The character sprites are fantastic <3
Apr 4 16:20:36 22m 39s Spiraland ♥ 1 THE SHINIES. Really like the visual style of this game and found it really fun. Sometimes I'd lose control though (wouldn't move in the direction I'm holding, or start jumping weirdly?) and I wasn't sure if this was a mechanic that I didn't understand or if there were a couple bugs. Fun regardless though!
Apr 4 16:57:16 36m 40s Cynodon't ♥ 1 they sprites are so cute omg. kinda relieving that they couldn't actually escape with my eggs tho lol
Apr 4 17:16:00 18m 44s NumberCatch ♥ 1 This was really cool, I wasn't sure what to expect but something about this is really fun!
Apr 4 17:19:43 3m 43s If you try hard enough, you can win. ♥ 2 hell yeah, this was fun :D i liked that the weapons switched up super crate box style. cool music :o
Apr 4 18:09:08 49m 25s The Flower of Marasca ♥ 1 Really cute game, and the level design is really good! It seems like you can get stuck at a few points if you die after hitting a switch or run out of ammo, but I might just have been missing something.
Apr 4 18:50:03 40m 55s Distract The Cat ♥ 1 SO CUTE :D managed to break the 1:00 mark. Really like the idea of making a single button game like this, works really well for a jam ^^
Apr 4 19:02:33 12m 30s My Girlfriend Wants a PUPPY!! ♥ 1 omg this is so cute, and very accurate lol. the art was really nice and the gameplay gave me a danganronpa vibe. Some kinda UI that shows the order of the colours might have been nice, maybe just always have them listed in order but highlight the one you've selected? I found it hard at the start to remember which direction I had to scroll. Not a big deal though, loved the game!
Apr 4 20:18:04 1h 15m Flameline ♥ 1 The double jump mechanic off the rewind is suuuuuuuuuuper cool, as is the fact that you wrote this with your own engine :D awesome work. Linux build seemed to work fine btw, using Pop!_OS 21.04
Apr 4 20:28:54 10m 50s Cup Half Full ♥ 1 Probably the most memorable take on tetris i've played :D really well executed. Had me screaming in frustration, but in a good way lol. Setting up combos is haaaard but I think I'll just need to practice a bit :3
Apr 4 20:39:13 10m 19s Last Look Up ♥ 1 Super cool, still impressed by the explosion effects on the building. +1 to loving the narration and sounds too
Apr 4 21:05:57 26m 44s Wormy ♥ 2 This is so addicting, and I love the terrain generation/art. Superb job ^^
Apr 4 22:28:36 1h 22m Cold and Alone ♥ 1 Absolutely fantastic, this is super atmospheric. The writing is great and the resource management mechanics work really well to add tension. The atmosphere of the game really made me want to explore the planet more :)
Apr 4 23:12:14 43m 38s Hostile Life ♥ 2 Cool, I love the glitchy art style and sounds. Looks like you went at some of the graphics with a hex editor :D I would have liked to be able to hold Z to actually carry the crates or something instead of just knocking them around, but overall a solid idea for the main game loop!
Apr 4 23:31:14 19m 00s Extinction is inevitable ♥ 1 This is a really cool concept, and the execution was enough to make me excited for where you could go with it :D I'm not sure if I was supposed to use the evolution to adapt to the environment (ie. different enemies, amounts of vegetation) or to try to guide evolution towards a more specific end goal of my choosing. Personally, what initially really excited me is the idea of being able to decide what sort of organism I'm trying to "create" (a fast predator, an evasive prey animal etc) and guiding evolution in that direction. I love the idea of making evolutionary tradeoffs instead of just improving stats, and would love to see this explored further! Really cool game.
Apr 5 00:59:41 1h 28m Unproduced game (delete entry) ♥ 1 dope. the off-screen shurikens were pretty brutal so I appreciated the generous health lol. appreciated the ~special~ message at the end
Apr 5 01:13:04 13m 23s Can You Out Run It? ♥ 1 the graphics are really cute and the game is super fun, I liked balancing my greed to get a little higher with the need to refuel! good level of difficulty for a jam game imo
Apr 5 01:22:39 9m 35s Death Chasing ♥ 2 ahaha I lost it when the bars first started moving. really fun, awesome job :D here's my high score, idk if I'll be able to beat it: 2022-04-04-202100_2560x1440_scrot.png
Apr 5 01:36:49 14m 10s AutoGrid ♥ 1 This is a really cool take on a tactics/auto battler sort of game! Good variety of monsters, made it interesting ^^
Apr 5 12:55:48 11h 18m Tax Mage ♥ 1 Loved it :D Really impressed with the music especially, having the extra tracks for various events added a lot. Only found one secret, might have to do another playthrough later to see if I missed any~ ... also thanks for reminding me i still have to do my taxes ...
Apr 5 13:06:59 11m 11s OVERCOME ♥ 1 Really liked some of the smaller details like the player looking towards the mouse and the text in the empty houses. I do agree with other people that the boss fight was probably ~2X longer than it needed to be, but that was my only minor complaint! Great theme of overcoming your anxiety/depression :)
Apr 5 13:17:19 10m 20s The Sea Won't Stop ♥ 2 Absolutely tragic that my affirmations didn't stop the ship from sinking :\ I always love your entries, great sense of humor.
Apr 5 13:23:50 6m 31s Glide ♥ 1 very peaceful game :)
Apr 6 01:39:26 12h 15m Forest Guardian ♥ 0 cool game, I liked having to manage my orbs by running around to see which trees need them most :3 the art for the player character and dragon are really nice, would be cool to see what you could do with more time for environment art
Apr 6 02:20:25 40m 59s Akubi ♥ 3 Art and music are both super pretty, and the combat mechanics feel really nice. Only minor issue I noticed was that the you can reset your timer by sliding into an energy drink (i assume that's what they are) after dying, in which case you're still dead but have to wait until the timer goes down again to continue.
Apr 6 12:56:26 10h 36m Hydroponica ♥ 1 First of all, great art/sounds/music. I think my thoughts are the same as your own and what's been said before. I found the first playthrough a bit surprising since I didn't expect the plants to take over so quickly, but had a lot of fun trying to organize my machines to contain the plants on subsequent playthroughs. I think a game like this is hard to balance, sometimes it felt like the plants snowballed a bit too quickly once they reached a certain threshold but at the same time without that the game may have been too easy. I think just starting off a little slower so that you can spend the early game preparing a bit more by mining and setting up buildings would have been nice. Overall really enjoyed the game though, great work.
Apr 6 13:20:28 24m 02s Stay alive ♥ 2 I really like the art + music. I agree with other that the animations felt a little long, it adds some tension but I'm also kinda impatient lol. Overall a really fantastic atmosphere though :D
Apr 6 13:42:01 21m 33s Legacy Survivors ♥ 0 Really fun game, much like other people I ended up spending a long time playing it :D i had a chest spawn in a solid block once but other than that I didn't notice any bugs or anything! Cute art.
Apr 6 13:49:30 7m 29s Trash Panic! ♥ 0 Really good idea for the gameplay imo, it was a fun struggle trying to open the right bins at the right time. Sound effects were really funny too.
Apr 6 14:02:42 13m 12s Brain Burgers ♥ 2 I really like the art, this game has a super funny/quirky attitude <3 I agree that the whole burger making process was a bit much for me to remember, but overall I like the idea of switching between those tasks and fighting off zombies. Only bug I found is that during one playthrough I seemed to get stuck fixing the toaster forever?
Apr 6 14:12:13 9m 31s Running the Clock ♥ 1 Really cute music and art, I like the vibe of this a lot. The switch puzzle took me awhile to figure out lol.
Apr 6 14:26:46 14m 33s Click to Continue ♥ 1 I... feel like the game might want me to leave... but I won't :3
Apr 6 20:45:22 6h 18m We Need To Talk ♥ 2 Awww this is such a sweet game, I especially love the characters :D The difficulty felt good to me, took a couple tries for me to be able to get past the first "level" but from there it was fun seeing how far I could get.
Apr 6 21:02:50 17m 28s chronis ♥ 1 really cool mechanic, it plays a more like a puzzle game than a normal strategy/tile matching game imo which was interesting. the art and sounds are suuuuuuuper nice too, great work.
Apr 6 22:17:17 1h 14m Warming up! ♥ 0 Really cute game, enjoyed the art and arcade gameplay. Sticking in one area and spamming x seemed like a bit of an op strategy but maybe i just got lucky :3
Apr 6 22:44:32 27m 15s Delaying Ludum Dare ♥ 1 Had a lot of fun platforming through your development process :D Very unique/memorable game for me, sort of played like a weird development fever dream which is a vibe for sure
Apr 6 22:51:28 6m 56s Volcano ♥ 1 SO CUTE. lost it when i realized I could basically pick up everything lmao ^v^
Apr 7 00:46:49 1h 55m Helly Belly ♥ 1 Clever mechanics and a really beautiful aesthetic. Being able to push the walls back by shooting was a really really cool detail, even if I felt like it ended up not being suuuuper relevant mechanically since you spend the whole game shooting regardless of the walls advancing on you.
Apr 10 02:19:41 73h 32m Crisis Bot ♥ 0 really liked the art, especially for the sci lab and submarine. the game has a really cool atmosphere to it. I found that the bombs created a good sense of urgency, which was probably my favourite part of the gameplay. I think honing in on that (frantically trying to defuse high impact events) could be really cool. As others have mentioned the maps felt a bit large. The size didn't really detract from initial playthroughs, but when replaying it's nice to jump into things a bit faster. I found I had a lot of fun when only a couple rooms were left and I was constantly forced to make tradeoffs. as an aside, this is a rare case where i actually think the lack of music added to the experience. the sparse sound effects created a really eerie soundscape.
Apr 11 02:08:51 23h 49m Duck It! ♥ 1 loved it :D the music is especially cute. I appreciate that you kept the level design compact so that I could get a feel for the mechanics and move on without anything getting repetitive. kinda wish I could dash straight up? but lobbing myself around at angles sorta fit the charm of the game.
