Apr 4 08:15:22 Circleville ♥ 1 Played for about half an hour and think I got the controls figured out. The audio fits very well with the aesthetic for the game, like some old glitchy piece of arcane tech. The game is more of an inductive reasoning exercise to figure out the controls, and what looks like the main goal is just a way to test whether your ideas are correct. Once you've done that though there's not much of reason to keep on playing, which is fine but feels a bit lackluster. Would wipe my memory to play it again if I could.
Apr 4 09:14:10 58m 48s FEEDING_LOG_01172013 ♥ 1 Awesome use of video and sound. This is a really good implementation of a reality bending monster. Hearing the sounds even after pausing the tape and the realization of what it meant tweaked my brain in an odd but good way.
Apr 4 15:54:47 6h 40m You shall not pass ♥ 1 Fun puzzles. The only one that was mildly annoying was the flying kill block as it was a bit tedious to get past. Like mentioned above the talking on first contact with every enemy was the only thing I'd want removed.
Apr 4 16:42:55 48m 08s Delay the CATastrophe ♥ 1 Wasn't able to get too many cats. The difficulty was mainly in the controls though, would be nicer if picking up a cat was a bit more forgiving. Other than that everything else was really good.
Apr 4 17:51:35 1h 08m Imagine Him Happy ♥ 2 Liked it a lot and was able to eventually get to the top. Next time will have to take the ball with me as well. Add me to the list of people that would like more checkpoints. One thing with Getting Over It that's missing here is in that game the repetition of obstacles eventually leads to a level of skill that lets you quickly get past them. It's also entirely possible I'm just not good enough yet to notice if that is in the game. Also bonus points for the Albert Camus reference.
Apr 4 19:12:57 1h 21m Lords of the Deck: 50 cards to WAR ♥ 1 Got a score of 25. Enjoyed playing it. Only issue I had was with understanding how Advantage worked at first, but after starting a game and stepping through the rules it became clear. Had a fun little interaction where I wanted the top discard card, and after playing a Jack of hearts realized that I wouldn't get it because the discarded Advantage cards took it's place. Good job on a making a card game. Have done a couple of them myself and the hardest part is making sure the rules are easy to parse, but you did a good job avoiding that issue here.
Apr 4 22:20:55 3h 07m 🙃 Misaligned AI: The Game 🙂 ♥ 1 Played and got bored after a while and tried to see what I could do to make my score as low as possible without being overtly negative. Was very difficult to get anywhere with that approach. Even with being overtly negative it was difficult to get the score down. Got a few laughs out of it, well worth the time spent.
Apr 5 01:39:10 3h 18m That One Time I Woke Up and Saw Vines Outside My Window ♥ 1 Really good for a second game. The collisions could use some work, had some difficulty telling when it was safe to attack. I also would have liked it if everything was a bit faster.
Apr 5 22:38:24 20h 59m HERE COMES THE HORDE ♥ 0 Good variety of enemies. Destructible terrain was fun to play around with. It wasn't immediately obvious that the white boxes were health pick ups. There's plenty of room for improvement, but it's a good start.
Apr 5 23:13:56 35m 32s Hopes ♥ 1 The borders glowing as the box closed in on you was a nice touch. The visual effect for shrinking was rather nice. It looked like the background was glitching out as squares kept appearing and disappearing. The music was a bit quite and I had to turn up my volume a lot to hear it, but once I had done so it sounded good and helped with the atmosphere.
Apr 6 23:26:27 24h 12m Reactor Guy ♥ 1 Nice game. Was able to beat it on easy mode. Figuring out the minigames wasn't too hard, just need to work on my speed.
Apr 6 23:56:33 30m 06s DataWorker ♥ 2 Liked the graphics and sounds. Did have issues with the physics objects getting stuck in or falling through the tray. Really solid for a first attempt.
Apr 7 01:12:18 1h 15m Ludare OS ♥ 1 Can't say I was expecting a GB game, but after watching the tutorial had a good time with it. Works well within the limitations of the platform.
Apr 7 01:28:40 16m 22s Bastet's Quest ♥ 1 Everything about this is so simple and works together so well. Enjoyed it a lot.
Apr 7 19:37:00 18h 08m CliffCart ♥ 1 Fun little game. Was able to get a score of 1970. The size of the screen definitely has an impact on the difficulty. Playing in the little window itch.io provided was much easier than playing it full screen. Shifting the train to the left would also help a lot. Would give the player a better view of what's happening and give you more area to play with.
Apr 7 20:01:05 24m 05s GrimTide: Delay the Inevitable ♥ 2 You nailed the atmosphere for this game. The music, colors, and noise on the tiles gave it a very unsettling feeling. Wasn't to figure out how to get the missiles working. Was able to figure out the permanent spots, would have been nice if there some sort of indicator that they were different than the other tiles. I also really wanted to be able to push the creep back more. Keyboard shortcuts also would have been very nice to have.
Apr 7 21:11:56 1h 10m ...Rise of the Toasty Tomato ♥ 1 Pretty fun game. Loved the art. Main things holding it back are the UI/UX, and controls. Also even a little bit of sound would have added a lot.
Apr 7 21:30:17 18m 21s Chickenator ♥ 1 Good start but got boring near the end. After I got all the upgrades it was just waiting there for the enemies to overwhelm me.
Apr 7 22:08:32 38m 15s A duck on ice ♥ 1 Top notch storytelling, and driving the duck around was fun. Wife watched me play it and she gave it a 10/10.
Apr 7 23:40:55 1h 32m Into The Light ♥ 1 Amazing work, especially for a compo game. The lights gradually turning on to ramp up the difficulty was a nice touch. Also like how the music was a bit muted, felt like there was a party nearby.
Apr 8 00:05:22 24m 27s FUSE ♥ 1 Quick, simple, fun carpal tunnel syndrome generator. Wanted to try hard mode but was barely able to get through easy.
Apr 8 00:33:18 27m 56s Cave companion ♥ 0 Enjoyed this a lot. Was a bit sad to see it end. Was worried you'd kill off the the golem somewhere in the story, so I'm glad it survived until the end.
Apr 9 00:39:38 24h 06m Justin Bieber Peaches Endless Karaoke ♥ 1 What? I'm too sober for this. 10/10
Apr 9 01:05:03 25m 25s SILAS ♥ 1 Nice game. Good difficulty on the puzzles, was able to beat the last one on my first try so that could've been a little bit harder. Only features I would have liked is speeding up the text and being able to look around the level so I could plan more.
Apr 9 01:30:32 25m 29s PLOUF! ♥ 1 Gameplay is enjoyable at first but falls apart quickly. The art and sound save it enough that I played through a couple times.
Apr 10 01:25:19 23h 54m RIITA ♥ 7 Amazing amount of content and quality for three days.
Apr 10 01:57:40 32m 21s Work Avoider ♥ 3 Cool concept and good execution. One thing I would really want is a keyboard shortcut for showing and hiding the game. Could definitely see this being expanded with more random tasks you have to take on.
Apr 10 02:37:37 39m 57s ENDURACE - Drift Or Die ♥ 3 Had lots of fun playing this. Had a bit of an issue with the controls, but that could have been an issue with how I was playing it. The only thing I'd recommend adding that I didn't see in there is some rubber banding on the death race mode AI. Smashing into stuff is the fun part of that mode and hunting down the other cars is kind of boring. Best part of my play though was getting my car to balance on it's front after a jump.
Apr 11 22:48:06 44h 10m Against the Dying of the Light ♥ 2 Nice challenge. Took me two tries to beat. Didn't find the bridge the first time, and on the second attempt was nearly out of fuel by the end. Good job on the the presentation and setting the right atmosphere.
Apr 11 23:18:43 30m 37s Loop ♥ 1 Simple and fun. Music was really good. Played enough that I was able to eventually get into the top 10.
Apr 15 01:47:10 74h 28m Zero Project ♥ 1 Love a good danmaku shmup. Beat easy and hard on the first try, still working on impossible. Only thing I missed were some of the standards for the genre like bombs, but the game is fun even without them.
