Apr 5 18:35:47 Life of an Intern ♥ 1 I must say I am glad to say my internship did not involve assassinating people on the streets. The main menu is hilarious.
Apr 5 18:42:03 6m 16s Nature Is Healing ♥ 1 The mood is pretty well set up with the sound and the fog of war. The creeping plants were very well done. The effect that it spreads around corners and that little spots grow very fast is really cool. I wish I had more fuel and the fire would be more destructive. It felt very satisfying to blast away and burn the plants down. So facilitating that gameplay more would make it more satisfying to play. It would have been better if the movement speed of the player was always set to the sprinting speed without an additional sprinting button. There was no reason to not sprint.
Apr 5 18:54:28 12m 25s Vomit Mage ♥ 2 Its a pretty funny game. I had a good time launching magical glowing puke to kill some critters for a change. The art and bloom is pretty good, but the game overall is too dark to see anything.
Apr 5 19:13:55 19m 27s RESET ♥ 2 This is a fantastic entry. It is simple but does what it tries to do well. The story being told has a very nice progression and finally. Forcing the player to take the action at the end is a very good way to make the player connected to the character and the story. The walking animation at the start is so very smooth it hooked me immediately. The sound slowly becoming more distored is also a very nice way to set the mood. The dialogue is nice and does what it needs to do. And the little quips about random objects is always very nice for player agency. Overall very solid entry, good work!
Apr 5 19:23:45 9m 50s The 13th Colony ♥ 0 A very nice entry. I got very immersed in exploring an alien world. Exploring around the planet and around the individual hexes was really nice. I encountered a bug where if you die and restart in the same session you keep the resources from the previous game, meaning I started with negative water.
Apr 5 19:37:50 14m 05s Defend the Earth ♥ 3 A nice LD entry. The game over screen is really amazing. That alone deserves a good rating. Two pieces of feedback I would have is to make the controls more snappy and have way faster (or even instant) acceleration and deceleration. And the other thing would be to make the comets a little less quick. When they come from the top or bottom of the screen you have significantly less time to respond.
Apr 5 19:53:48 15m 58s Settling On Mars ♥ 3 The visuals grabbed my attention immediately, especially the isometric title screen and the press-able buttons.. I like this kind of games a lot and I was not disappointed. The economy seems very explosive. In the first moments you can get your income so high that you can quickly take over all the resource deposits on the map. The meteor showers and laser towers are pretty cool. I do wish I had an end goal to work towards. As the end game for me looked like having to repair everything the whole time, which was starting to hurt my wrist. Overall very good game!
Apr 5 20:03:28 9m 40s ClickToJump ♥ 1 Pretty well done for 4 hours.
Apr 5 20:10:47 7m 19s GrimTide: Delay the Inevitable ♥ 1 The mood and impending doom were really well delivered. As a fan of Creeper World, this game is right up my alley. I do normally preferer some passive way to protect yourself as the clicking can become very repetitive. I am also not sure about the buying aspect, it is fairly tedious. Overall very nice and well executed entry!
