Apr 4 04:37:55		The Final Day	♥ 1	Played this game 2 times. I am very impressed that you coded an entire RPG combat system in 2 days! In terms of feedback, I think a bgm for each of the three areas can be nice. Also in terms of balancing, I picked HP instead of attack the second time, and I do no damage to mud frog lol. But nice game overall.
Apr 4 04:56:15	18m 20s	a	♥ 1	Really fun and cool game. The music was pretty chill, and I appreciate the mute button! It is satisfying to watch the ants move sands, and I like all the upgrade options available. In terms of feedback, I find the game's difficulty curve needs some tuning. Game becomes too easy after your economy gets inflated by gold and diamond sands. The sense of survival is removed until very late in the game when the difficulty finally catches up. Still, a fun game overall!
Apr 4 05:03:37	7m 22s	THERE IS A FIRE HERE	♥ 1	Simple yet addicting game. I can see this being published on mobile and get played on a bus or something. One small feedback I have is to have the game restart instantly after game over. Other than that, well done.
Apr 4 05:12:18	8m 41s	🙃 Misaligned AI: The Game 🙂	♥ 1	I asked about pineapple pen, and the bot responded.. well. unexpectedly https://imgur.com/a/6vqh346. Cool game overall. One feedback I have is to make the score system more specific. Right now, I can't tell if the bot's response is positive or negative based on the text alone. Maybe instead of positive/negative, have happy/sad as metric instead.
Apr 4 05:17:47	5m 29s	Chronos	♥ 3	Cool game overall. Graphics are cool, and there are some interesting mechanics in the levels. For some feedbacks: The levels are a bit too easy, and can be passed without much thinking. Also, some tiles are confusing, and I am not sure what they do even after completing the three levels. Still, thanks for the game!
Apr 4 12:23:24	7h 05m	Casually Comitting Tax Evasion	♥ 1	Can't figure out how to play, maybe it is because I am an accountant irl haha. Like the idea though.
Apr 4 12:32:12	8m 48s	Tree loves Sun	♥ 1	Cool game overall. Collecting the flowers is satisfying and the tree looks pretty once it is grown w/ flowers. For some feedback, the score UI is blocking the tree and the player, and the tree can grow out of screen. Maybe zoom out the camera once the tree grow to a certain height. Also, I understand why there is some confusion in the comment section on red branches. I think people are assuming that it is being burned by sun when it is red, but actually it is the opposite. Maybe change the color to something else, or instead of color make the branches smaller when they are close to dying might be helpful. But overall a great game, I really enjoyed it.
Apr 4 12:38:16	6m 04s	Crazy Cats	♥ 1	Cool and funny game, I like the concept. I have a cat at home and I confirm it is like this LOL. One bug I found was that the cats can sometimes overlap, and you can shine the light on both of them at once. Also, I think an indicator (visual or sound cue) that shows when you are about to lose can be helpful,
Apr 4 12:46:39	8m 23s	Sisyphus loop	♥ 0	Not sure what to do in this game. I think the character move and collect resources automatically, and you can upgrade the frequency of the resource spawn after you die. I think it is a cool concept and you can make it fun by allowing the player interact more during the play phase, like putting the resources on the path manually, and create branching paths for the player to select. Also, there are a few visual bugs, for example the upgrade menu UI is blurred, and sometimes the item text does not go away after you die. Still, it is a cool concept and I like it.
Apr 4 12:57:35	10m 56s	Losing Your Sheet	♥ 2	Fun game! I really like the sheet animation and the sound effects. The gameplay is interesting and I can see it being fun time killer on a phone. Really hope the bucket does something though LOL. One feedback I have is that the game becomes too slow after 100m, when your boat is full of water after moving 1 meter, and I had to spend 20seconds to remove all the water before moving another 1 meter. To balance this, you can make the boat go faster as difficulty rises. Other than that, well done.
Apr 4 13:22:40	25m 05s	Wrath of a Dying God	♥ 1	Surprisingly good enemy variety and upgrade depth for a game made in 48 hours, well done! Card UI can be hard to read sometimes (the bright blue cards). Pre wave 20 is also too easy, and at wave 24, the black tentacle enemy literally wiped my base singlehandedly as my spells and troops deal no damage to it LOL. Other than that, I had a lot of fun, thanks for the game.
Apr 4 13:29:02	6m 22s	I'm Not A Robot	♥ 1	Funny game! I like the variety of the puzzles and the game's pacing overall. One feedback I have is that deducting from the timer feels too punishing and games ended too abruptly when that happens. Also, I can't get the traffic sign one for some reason lol, I lost to that one 4 times. Other than that, well done!
Apr 4 13:35:14	6m 12s	Inevitable Orbit	♥ 2	Cool game and concept. The controls are intuitive, and I like the music as well. In terms of feedback, I like a bit more variety in game play, for example dodging meteoroids, or collecting spare tanks may be nice. Also, the thrust animation appears at the bottom of the spaceship every time, which does not make sense when the spaceship is under Earth lol. Other than that, well done.
Apr 4 13:41:45	6m 31s	Soul Dilemma	♥ 1	I like the concept of playing as the zombie and smacking houses haha. The gameplay is fun, and the sound effects are funny. For some feedback, I feel like the controls are a bit sluggish (the slooowww turning speed), and maybe remove the fences. Other than that, fun game overall.
Apr 4 13:49:27	7m 42s	Lumi and the Cloud Shepherd	♥ 4	Cool game overall. I like the concept of delaying spring, it fit the theme well. I also like the scoreboard, I am at 67 seconds. I wish there is a way to avoid the grandpa with the stick. Even if I don't go near him, he will teleport behind me and mess me up.
Apr 4 14:01:14	11m 47s	Hex'd	♥ 2	Fun game. I like the gameplay and the level design. I also think that it is very impressive to have good pixel graphic, sound effect, and music in such a short time frame. It would be nice if I can see how much time I have before I die as a slime though. Well done!
Apr 4 14:08:31	7m 17s	Anonymous VS Death	♥ 1	Funny game. I like how you can zoom across the map by using w + space and blow things up. However, I am not sure how to destroy the boxes. I placed like 100 bombs on it but it doesn't break. Also, I get teleported back to base randomly, and can't proceed to next level. Aside from that, fun game overall.
Apr 4 14:16:45	8m 14s	TASK CHAMPION	♥ 1	Fun game. Each task is easy, but becomes stressful when you need to complete 5 of them at the same time. Also, I didn't know you can copy and paste LOL, I manually typed in each sentence and that made it a lot harder. I am not sure where to find hard mode. For some feedback, I think you can add more task variety and more tasks.
Apr 4 14:30:54	14m 09s	Apartheid	♥ 1	Amazing graphics and cool music to fit the mood of the game. Also, I like the options to change language and sound settings. Well done! One thing that can be improved is to add a fast forward option to skip the dialog that the player already seen. Otherwise an amazing polished storytelling game.
Apr 4 16:28:29	1h 57m	Gun Survivors	♥ 0	Simple yet fun game that meet the theme of this jam. I like that you can stack many guns of the same type and blast them through a horde of enemies. I wish there is more weapon variety. Aside from that, well done, thanks for the game.
Apr 4 16:44:01	15m 32s	Guardian Angel	♥ 2	I like the various scenarios that complement each level, and how the core game play adapt to the scenario as well. For some feedback, I feel like it is better to use keyboard controls instead of mouse imo.
Apr 4 17:07:33	23m 32s	Tick Tack	♥ 1	Simple yet fun game to play. I like that each game your position changes and you will need to adapt your approach. I think if the teacher have some turning animations, it can make the game feel better and more fair. However, I think the teacher's tiny view cone compensated for that lol. Thanks for the game.
Apr 4 18:53:51	1h 46m	Burger Nightmares	♥ 1	This game is very fun! Very satisfying to fulfill each order, and I really like the design choice of allowing items to be grilled half way. The only thing I would add is some light bgm. Bravo!
Apr 4 22:17:54	3h 24m	Final Warp	♥ 2	Simple and fun game. Love the smoothness and responsiveness of the controls. I wish there is more item variety, like powerups that boost my attacks. Anyways I really enjoyed it, thanks for the game.
Apr 5 04:59:15	6h 41m	Keep it Secret	♥ 0	Love the concept. Definitely an unique take on the theme. I am not sure how reputation works though, I see two people with pink names which I assume is spreading my secret. I kept them in check, but idk why my reputation still drops. Is there a third person I need to track? Anyways, thanks for the game I really enjoyed it
Apr 5 15:22:07	10h 22m	Censor	♥ 1	I finished the game! I like how you can piece together some backstory from the dialogs with the characters. The player walk a bit too slow though
Apr 5 15:53:49	31m 42s	Dilate the time!	♥ 1	Cool game. The controls are smooth and responsive, yet challenging once your speed goes up.
Apr 5 16:22:20	28m 31s	Planet Saver	♥ 1	I love the pixel art and the animation. I think it can be much better with some music and sfx. Other than that, well done.
Apr 5 17:57:58	1h 35m	Paper Plane	♥ 1	I love this game! Very clever take on the theme, and the core gameplay loop is addicting and fun. I also like the music and that you adjust the volume. The background gets deeper the higher the plane goes, which is a nice detail. Thanks for the game.
Apr 6 02:32:13	8h 34m	Eleventh Hour	♥ 1	Absolutely amazing graphics and satisfying kunai hit effects. The player movement is also responsive and I like how you can move down while in air with s/down arrow to land quickly. Thanks for the game.
Apr 6 13:31:01	10h 58m	Deathly Delay	♥ 1	Cool game. I really like the art style, and the variety of the mini games. For some feedback, I think some tutorials at the start of each mini game can be helpful. Well done.
Apr 6 13:41:37	10m 36s	You shall not pass	♥ 1	Amazing game, my first puzzle game played so far and it is great. I can't figure out level 7 haha. Well done.
Apr 6 13:53:03	11m 26s	Battle Cards	♥ 0	Interesting genre. You implemented card combat and economy in 48 hours, which is impressive. Many feedback I have are already discussed above. The card images are a bit blurry, perhaps due to scaling?
Apr 6 14:01:41	8m 38s	Escape the pet	♥ 0	Cool game. I like the menu transitions in the main menu. I am not sure how to get to the platforms above, and I couldn't survive long enough to see cat food xD.
Apr 6 14:17:17	15m 36s	Can't Escape Your Past	♥ 1	Very interesting mechanics and cool puzzles. I also like the animations (wall sliding). I also like that the game is intuitive without the need of a complex tutorial. I can't figure out the lowering door level lol.
Apr 6 14:25:02	7m 45s	RUNOUT	♥ 1	Fun concept and gameplay. Didn't think too much about my dead bodies and it screwed me over later haha. I also feel that the animation and the overall feel of the game is very polished. Well done.
Apr 6 14:32:24	7m 22s	Inevitable Seige	♥ 1	I really like this game. It was genuinely fun, and the level pacing is great for a TD game. I feel like there should be more tooltips in the game. For example, it took me a while to find out 1-5 can be used to select the towers. Also, it was hard to figure out what each tower do. Still, well done.
