| Apr 7 01:32:43 | Rocket Lawnchair | ♥ 1 | I have been playing your game during your stream. Oh dear, that was hard. I felt like turning my keyboard around to make the controls feel the right way around. ;) I managed to land two times in a pool and got upgraded tanks. I landed in another pool (but without the chair) and I don't think the tanks changed after that, or maybe there are just 2 upgrades? RocketLawnchair.png | |
| Apr 12 23:47:24 | 142h 14m | EVERYTHING MUST GO (LD 50) | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! :) It took me a few tries to figure out how to control the getting and throwing of the boxes. But when I got it, I had fun running around while avoiding the customers! π Because the boxes spawn a little above the player's head, when you get a box from the top wall, the box will get stuck in the wall. When playing for the first time, it was not clear to me why the box is not moving then. From te bottom wall however, you don't have this problem. So in the end I found a winning (/cheating) strategy: you can just stand near the bottom wall and alternate between the down arrow key and space bar π Maybe you could add a restriction on how many boxes you can get from a piece of wall, forcing the player to move around? I found it a bit surprising that the heap of boxes that I created this way would (only) fly to the next customer when I threw another box. The music is really cute and fitting, but since you didn't make it yourself, I think you should opt out of the Audio category. |
| Apr 13 00:08:38 | 21m 14s | Tartarus Panic | ♥ 1 | Fun mythological mini-games! I liked the different little tasks that I had to do with the mouse. But as @unless-games said, the player doesn't get punished for losing cards. On my first run, I quickly lost most cards, but in the end I was just alternating between the vase and Sisyphus. I stopped after 3 minutes, because it got boring. Maybe you could start with just a few (random?) cards (or even just one card), and then as time goes by you get more and more prisoners to watch over. Or perhaps you gain more points when you have multiple cards open? |
| Apr 16 22:17:43 | 94h 09m | Jailbound Joyride | ♥ 2 | Cool graphics, awesome music, fun game! |
| Apr 16 22:42:54 | 25m 11s | Losing Your Sheet | ♥ 1 | Funky music, cool sound effect, fun title and nice game! I played only once, and because I saw that reaching 150 meant smashing it, I tried my best to get past that point. After around 100 I experienced quite an increase in difficulty. ;) In the end the game became somewhat tedious, so I decided to stop after 167. ;) Great entry! :D LD50LostYourSheet.png -edit- I just had another look at it while giving ratings, and I noticed that if you just immediately hang the sail, the boat just speeds away and you never see the angry man again. My ship then crashed around 127, without doing anything. ;) Oh, and I really like how the particles of water worked! Well done! |
| Apr 19 22:50:47 | 72h 07m | Weed it & Reap | ♥ 0 | Cool! I enjoyed the music (did you make it yourself?) and voice acting. π It's very cool that you made AI enemies, but there seemed to be a problem with zombies that got stuck. I managed to become the reaper a few times. π It felt a bit strange to have a leaderboard, since your score also depends on how quickly your opponents die. Overall, nice entry! π |
| Apr 19 23:43:00 | 52m 13s | Ydunian Prune | ♥ 1 | Cool clicker game! It's nice to see the number go up and the tree getting bigger! And very convenient that the Water Carrier, the Fruit Picker only need one payment to continue to work forever :D Very nice graphics! I also enjoyed how the graphics evolved during the game. Nice soothing music as well, although I think it stopped at some point. I liked the hover-over explanations, but I missed them when I already had bought one of the items/services, because sometimes I wanted to check again what something did. The guards were not se clear to me, so in the first battle I lost before I knew what was happening. The next time I just bought many guards, and then nothing happened for quite a while. At some point I had 250 Water Carriers, 1000 Fruit Pickers, 100 Fertilizers, a lot of guards, walls and a castle. It still took quite a while to find the true ending after that. My hand hurts a little from all the clicking. Well done! Great entry π |
| Apr 20 00:25:40 | 42m 40s | STUDY LADY (cookie mix) | ♥ 2 | I think this is this first βincremental music videoβ that I played. I enjoyed the concept and the music, but the game was quite long/repetitive (for a jam game), it took me almost 40 minutes to complete it. On the one hand, there wasn't much time to check out what the different upgrades did, but on the other hand, I often found myself waiting because I didn't have the right amount of the right crystal. I enjoyed the graphics and the animations, and the different styles in the different levels. AFter completing, I finally took the time to have a look at what actually was happening: a lot! Overal, great entry! :) |
| Apr 20 00:50:05 | 24m 25s | Afwas | ♥ 2 | Cute game, and very recognizable, haha. Nice theme, cute graphics. The score and leaderboard keep you trying again and again. Nice entry! π |
| Apr 20 21:07:34 | 20h 17m | Tree loves Sun | ♥ 1 | Nice original balancing game! Soothing music, and I like the night background. |
| Apr 20 21:26:03 | 18m 29s | Delay Decay | ♥ 1 | I was already mesmerized by the start screen with the moving voronoi polygons π I found the gameplay somewhat confusing at first, I followed the arrow down/south, in stead of interacting with the door. ;) But I managed to find the end of the game. Cool music as well! |
| Apr 20 21:48:11 | 22m 08s | Jelly Defense | ♥ 0 | First, awesome music and cute graphics and animations! Original twist on a tower defense by letting the player move the towers. I didn't get what the orange thing was at first, but I figured out that the minions go there and produce coins. A little animation/tween of coins going towards the coin total would have been nice here. I found it a bit weird that you have to wait for it to finish, when you already finished the round. The game got more interesting around Round 8, when enemies were coming from 3 (and later 4) directions. I died in level 11. |
| Apr 20 22:11:26 | 23m 15s | Work Avoider | ♥ 1 | Haha cool game and fun concept! π I tried a couple of times and managed to delay work for 2:31. I didn't see the calculator at first, whoops. I was just trying to type in the right answer, and lost quite a few games on that. The rotation/aiming with the ketchup bottle was a bit clunky, as well as operating the calculator. It seemed there was some delay in the input (I played the HTML version). I love the office sounds, and when the boss checks in I notice that I react with my body and face in a cartoony "pretending-to-work" face, haha! Well done π |
| Apr 20 22:29:19 | 17m 53s | A Simple Game of Clock Themed Pinball | ♥ 1 | I like the overall clcok theme in this pinball game. It was fun to play! The physics was (in the HTML version at least) sometimes a bit weird: the ball bounced very hard. I liked how heavy the ball seems because of the sound effects. The game seemed to be quite easy, so after a while I just sat back and watched for a while to see how long it would take to let the time run out and got to 7260 points. |
| Apr 20 22:50:22 | 21m 03s | The Itsy Bitsy Jumper | ♥ 1 | Haha, fun game! Original mechanics, but even after completing the game I wasn't completely sure about the controls, haha. I just kept randomly jumping around. It seemed that the raindrops only really hit you when you are standing on a leaf, so I just kept jumping around. I tried a few times and my best score so far is 16. I had fun! :) |
| Apr 20 23:03:58 | 13m 36s | Life - Delaying Death | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Pretty graphics. As a jigsaw enthusiast, I immediately went for the puzzle pieces, but apparently that was wrong, haha. I got my score quite high, and was just thinking "this is too easy", when I noticed that there weren't any positive things anymore... Best total after 1 round: 2878 |
| Apr 20 23:22:26 | 18m 28s | Delaying the Waking World | ♥ 1 | I really like the idea of the game, very relatable, haha. The graphics are very cute. Maybe I missed something, but I didn't get when the alarm would go off or how to delay it. I found the character movement a bit slow, and the field of vision a bit small. I played several times, and really wanted to skip the introductions on the re-runs. π |
| Apr 20 23:37:48 | 15m 22s | Inevitable Cubes | ♥ 1 | Nice game and original idea, and clever idea to put the tutorial on the sides of the cube. :) I like the sound effects and how they blend in with the background music. My best: 2:26 |
| Apr 20 23:54:08 | 16m 20s | You are Quitting | ♥ 1 | Haha, funny game! I stopped after 6:00 thinking that I really should stop playing LD games and go to bed. ;) Great entry! |
| Apr 21 00:12:09 | 18m 01s | Oops, I'm Sinking! | ♥ 2 | Nice music and simple but clean graphics. I got 05:08, but the game was just a bit too repetitive to give it another try. |
