| Apr 5 14:03:26 | Nelson's Nightmare: Remastered | ♥ 2 | Really fun game, I had a good time playing it! I loved all the time polish and UX things. I noted the spawn animations, healthbar delta animation, store open/close animation. The game ramps up difficulty really quickly and I could only ever make it round 4. My only feedback is that the coins were jumping all over the place and were hard to pickup at times. | |
| Apr 5 14:09:35 | 6m 09s | Don't burn my Nugget | ♥ 3 | Very pretty art style and great atmosphere! The game is very difficult though, I could only ever make it a few hundred meters without landing on my face or running out of speed! |
| Apr 5 14:15:31 | 5m 56s | Herbert vs Homework | ♥ 1 | Very fun game- and funny too! I liked that the different attacks had independent cooldowns so that I could weave them together. I also felt that the roll felt very nice. The pixel art (especially the player animations), and music were also quite good. My only constructive feedback: too many Mama Mia's, not enough screen shake. =P |
| Apr 5 14:25:15 | 9m 44s | Super Me CID Quest | ♥ 1 | Fun game! Here is some feedback from my playthroughs:= - Camera lerping and zooming was really well polished - I liked the story, it felt very mysterious. - Fought 2 bosses and had to choose the giveup option on one of them. They were really hard. - The hit detection on the players weapon felt off. A lot of my swings didn't connect. - The background music is good and very atmospheric |
| Apr 5 14:36:49 | 11m 34s | Model-5C | ♥ 1 | Fun game! The web version worked just fine for me. The audio was really well done! |
| Apr 5 14:38:53 | 2m 04s | Department Of Demise | ♥ 6 | Really unique and fun game. The intro had really great atmosphere and the voicework was so good. It took me a bit to understand how the game worked, but once I got the hang out of it was very enjoyable. I absolutely felt like I was a grim reaper doing menial office work! Constructive feedback: I felt that the + and - buttons should have been switched around. It felt weird to make the number go up by hitting the button on the right (or D). |
| Apr 6 01:29:56 | 10h 51m | CinderWoods | ♥ 2 | Hard game, but the short length let me play through a couple of times. I liked the pixel art and the gameplay was very unique. Constructive feedback: placing the barriers accurately with the keyboard was hard to do in a pinch. I would have preferred to just click with my mouse. |
| Apr 6 13:44:40 | 12h 14m | Cat in the Bag | ♥ 4 | Being a side character to an inevitably doomed hero is such a great take on the theme! Really well written game and great art and music to boot. Even though I'm not a cat person I enjoyed this entry anyway! =P |
| Apr 6 13:54:18 | 9m 38s | Earworm Jam | ♥ 4 | What a wonderfully weird game. Very difficult, but I loved the absurd character and the animations were really well done. Great job on this game! Constructive feedback: adding gameplay depth via a hidden mechanic when gamejam play sessions are so short is a pretty big risk. |
| Apr 7 02:00:33 | 12h 06m | Wait For It ! | ♥ 1 | That was a surprising amount of game variety for a game jam game! Really well done. |
| Apr 7 02:05:04 | 4m 31s | Terminal Hydrophilia | ♥ 1 | Your game has a very nice (and consistent!) visual style and a unique take on the theme! I was surprised by the amount of enemy variety and I enjoyed using the dash. Constructive feedback: I was hoping to find more weapons and/or some powerups. |
| Apr 7 02:15:15 | 10m 11s | TOOB | ♥ 3 | Really fun game. It gave me some nostalgia for old scifi racers. The art style was extremely well executed and consistent, I dug it for sure. Your menu is amazing- background, layout, font choice, etc. just super well put together. Constructive feedback: dying in one hit felt really punishing, I wanted to keep going without restarting. Maybe a health bar would have been more forgiving =P. Otherwise, great entry! |
| Apr 7 02:57:37 | 42m 22s | 22h38 | ♥ 4 | This is the most thematically strong entry I have played so far- working backwards from the inevitable end of the world. What a game. Totally felt the Outer Wild vibes I think you were shooting for. Really well done! |
| Apr 7 13:27:36 | 10h 29m | Nightwaker | ♥ 1 | Wow very unique game, I really enjoyed playing it. At first I wasn't thrilled with the constant J+L, but it really adds to the tension when you have to type other words. The audio and art style were so well done and nailed the atmosphere I think you were going for. I was really surprised by how creative the puzzles were with these mechanics. Constructive Feedback: the player movement speed felt just a tad slow. |
| Apr 7 13:35:08 | 7m 32s | Forest | ♥ 0 | Unfortunately I am also getting the ‘Incompatible Vulkan driver version’ error on launch. I have updated my (AMD RX 5700 xt) GPU to the latest version (21.30.23.04-211216a-376209C) and still no luck. I watched some of your Twitch stream and I really want to play (and then rate) this game! @ me if I can provide anything to help debug this. The log directory contains two empty text files, so no help there. |
| Apr 7 13:41:36 | 6m 28s | Will There Bee Another? | ♥ 2 | Great art style, I love the color palette that you chose! Had fun trying to woo Mel! =P |
| Apr 7 13:46:33 | 4m 57s | No Touch The Cat | ♥ 1 | Hilarious game! The art style is super cute. The cats eyes tracking the cursor too is a nice touch. |
| Apr 7 13:51:16 | 4m 43s | Global Eggstermination | ♥ 2 | Very fun but pretty hard game! Great art style and humor, I got a kick out of the enemy eggs. I especially appreciated the inclusion of the grenade. Constructive feedback: the reload time felt really long, I wanted to keep blasting! [I did not play the post-jam version] |
| Apr 8 17:32:56 | 27h 41m | Hole | ♥ 2 | Really great entry, I managed to make it to the end on my third try. The ending legitimately scared me. I think some visual indication that a limb isn't attached to the wall would have helped since it blocks movement of other limbs. I was confused at first why I wasn't able to move other limbs. Once I figured that out, the game played really well. I'm not sure how this old man got to be so flexible. Would have loved some backstory explaining how he ended up in this situation in the first place! |
| Apr 8 17:44:30 | 11m 34s | Balloon Rush 2 | ♥ 2 | Really love the visuals. The hand drawn style works great here. The game feels surprisingly fair with the gust of wind not being overpowered but also not too weak. Like many of the other comments, I found myself replaying this one quite a few times. |
| Apr 8 18:24:25 | 39m 55s | Last Bastion | ♥ 1 | This is really impressive for a weekend game. I wish there was a bit more prep time before waves, at least in the earlier waves, since it's chaotic right out of the gate. The graphics and overall atmosphere are really nice. I was able to hold out on the final gate for a while but eventually the enemies got too strong to do anything about. This game would be really fun with a second player. |
| Apr 9 16:23:38 | 21h 59m | Heal me, please! | ♥ 3 | I loved the art style you have going on! I had a lot of trouble figuring out your game. A tutorial, even a written one, would be an amazing addition to an otherwise super creative game! |
| Apr 9 16:28:44 | 5m 06s | 1 Man 6 Bullets | ♥ 3 | Very innovative gameplay, really nicely done! The production value added by all the post processing effects really sold me on this one! My only critique is that I found the game to be very difficult at times. |
| Apr 9 16:32:53 | 4m 09s | Pixel-Panic | ♥ 1 | A+ game, really enjoyed playing it! I especially loved the well made tutorial! |
| Apr 9 16:39:15 | 6m 22s | The Assessment | ♥ 2 | Absolutely fantastic Warioware style game! Pretty much everything here was executed well, but I want to call out just how good the audio design on this game felt. The background music during the cutscenes, the mini-game fanfare, all of it just sounded sooo good. Great game and congrats! |
| Apr 9 16:50:14 | 10m 59s | Omni Empire | ♥ 1 | I had a good amount of fun playing your game, and for a jam game it felt very complete! I did notice a few bugs, such as one of the planets going offscreen so I couldn't build there. I also felt the game was a bit easy, and the music was repetitive. Despite that, the good far outweighs any negatives here. Very innovate tower defense, well done! |
| Apr 9 16:59:01 | 8m 47s | Farm Dog | ♥ 3 | Loved the character upgrade system in your game! Made me want to keep retrying to get ridiculously strong. The voxel art style was very good, and the audio/sfx fix really well! Great game, and congrats! |
| Apr 9 22:43:28 | 5h 44m | Campfire | ♥ 1 | Nice take on the theme, and a very unique visual style. I was expecting some kind of bad ending given the theme, good thing it didn't come to that. |
| Apr 9 22:57:25 | 13m 57s | Bathroom in the Backrooms | ♥ 1 | Who designed this place? It's a cute game, nice work! |
| Apr 9 23:19:22 | 21m 57s | Avoidance Advanced | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun. I managed to get 28 on my first play through. I think I would have preferred using spacebar over mouse click, especially when playing on a laptop. |
| Apr 10 01:33:12 | 2h 13m | Jimbert the Senator Commits Tax Fraud | ♥ 1 | I don't care what anyone else says, this game here is a masterpiece. Trust me, I'm a good guy. =P |
| Apr 10 01:38:56 | 5m 44s | The Boar | ♥ 1 | A neat concept. I like the idea of having to keep eating in order to survive. The pixel art was good, but gameplay wise the enemies weren't very fun and I wanted to find more variety in things to eat. Fun game! |
| Apr 10 01:49:09 | 10m 13s | Papper | ♥ 1 | Really liked your jam game! I unlocked every upgrade and the furthest I could make it was 70m. Very satisfying to play and I really liked your music+art. Great entry! Constructive feedback: the launch angle controls felt a little wonky, I wasn't quite sure how to move my mouse to get the launch I wanted. |
| Apr 10 01:56:08 | 6m 59s | Before Impact: Meteor Fantasy | ♥ 3 | Loved the unique attack mechanic and upgrade variety. The art and music were very good too! I got distinct Vampire Survivors vibes from this game. Really well made entry that I'd love to see expanded! Constructive feedback: it was not clear to me at first that I could enter the water and turn into a boat. |
| Apr 10 02:10:56 | 14m 48s | Battery Buisness | ♥ 1 | Making complete games in Scratch is surprisingly difficult, I'm impressed with what you've made here! Like others are saying, definitely check out another engine for your (bright) future jams! I would recommend Unity, though some find GameMaker to be easier to pickup. |
| Apr 10 02:18:49 | 7m 53s | Snooze | ♥ 1 | Really well polished classic platformer! Pretty difficult at times- or I'm just bad! Constructive feedback: a more interesting background would have been nice. Good entry! |
| Apr 10 02:27:23 | 8m 34s | Crime City | ♥ 0 | I really dig the pixel art of this game. The gunplay sounded good and the bullet shoot was really well done. I managed to stay alive for a bit, but I found your game to be really hard! I possibly add a healthbar so the player can survive more than one hit. Good entry! |
| Apr 10 02:39:08 | 11m 45s | Under Siege | ♥ 1 | Really well polished "mini" strategy game! I especially appreciated that there was an in-game tutorial! I struggled to figure out how many units I needed to send to attack the enemy armies. If the UX provided that, I couldn't identify where! |
| Apr 10 05:11:34 | 2h 32m | Hot point | ♥ 1 | I really like the heat mechanic, would love to see this concept explored more. The game is simple, but it's always refreshing to be able to complete a game jam entry. Nice work making a complete package. |
| Apr 17 16:00:04 | 178h 48m | Swords & Feelings | ♥ 0 | This was such a fun game! I loved the art style, the GUI had good UX, and there is a fair amount of strategy. It felt like an auto-battler version of Slay the Spire; what an interesting take! I played this through multiple times (which is rare!) to figure out how to win. My constructive feedback is that the upgrades are not balanced, (there are definitely superior choices)- I would have liked more variety in strategy, but that is totally understandable for a game jam entry! Well done! |
| Apr 17 17:45:33 | 1h 45m | Fill The Generator | ♥ 1 | Nice game, I liked how the cans gave me more time to keep hunting, that was a well thought out mechanic! As others are saying, the controls are really rough. I would definitely have preferred grab as a toggle, and it would be nice if you could enter a door by pressing up (W key) when standing in front of it. |
