Apr 5 17:37:48 Musical Thrones ♥ 1 this is the first game i've played for the jam and we're off to a great start! this was a great entry. the second i opened the game and there was this weird/funny musical gibberish talk it put me in a good mood. i suppose my only comment would be that the memorize the symbol mini-game wasn't super clear at first, i was able to figure it out on the second try though. good job! 👍
Apr 5 17:58:04 20m 16s Herbert vs Homework ♥ 1 great entry! at first i thought i just lost randomly, but it looks like i reached the end based off of the text. in general it would've been nice if there was more visual feedback, like a when you got hit and stuff. but this entry made me smile and i'm glad i got to play it!

Apr 5 18:16:19 18m 15s Prison Arena ♥ 1 the second i hit the play button the enemy moved across the screen at like a million miles and hour and punched the crap out of me. it scared me, but in like a funny way lol.
Apr 5 18:35:01 18m 42s Loop ♥ 2 the visuals and the audio made for this to be a really interesting entry! i wasn't sure if there was some sort of objective at hand but i had fun playing around with the platform drawing tool, good job!
Apr 5 18:48:37 13m 36s LeapSheep ♥ 2 great entry! i wasn't expecting the twist. the movement felt a little unwieldy, but in a fun way. it felt really good once you reached top speed and the feeling of "oh please just make this jump" really added to the vibes. unfortunately it seems that the retry button on i think the 4th level doesn't work, so i had to stop playing there. i don't think i can reach the end without making any mistakes ðŸĪŠ but i'll check back later in case it's fixed!
Apr 5 19:59:13 1h 10m Morth II - but you are a shopkeeper in the forest town. ♥ 1 i was a little confused at first, but after a while i got the hang of it. it did feel kind of random whenever the customer would leave. the music and the graphics for the items are great! good job 👍 ld_morth2.png
Apr 5 20:34:13 35m 00s Evacuation of Zorkid ♥ 1 it took a few tries but i was able to complete it! it was fun figuring out how to keep the moon away while managing resources. it's funny, i often felt overwhelmed and frantic when the moon would get closer, spamming repulsors and making things worse haha. i noticed there wasn't any music so i just put this on in the background haha. ld50_zork.png
Apr 5 21:05:28 31m 15s You will become a vampire. ♥ 1 i made it over a year, i'd call that a success! i was a bit confused by the general gameplay at first, but after a while i was able to figure things out. i couldn't ever find the stairs so i was just stuck on the first floor the whole time. also i liked the designs for the characters! vamp.png
Apr 5 21:51:29 46m 01s You Will Fall ♥ 3 awesome entry! the narration was great and there were plenty of surprises! i was able to make it 38m. i only wish there was more!
Apr 5 23:02:52 1h 11m Pay Up! ♥ 1 great entry! not much to say in terms of feedback, the art style and gameplay were pretty effective and were relevant to the theme 👍
Apr 5 23:33:51 30m 59s The Bedtime Resistance ♥ 3 very cute entry, it made me giggle! [spoilers] i did figure out you could cheese the game pretty easily just by making a loop and running through it endlessly. perhaps if you go through a tile a certain amount of times it gets destroyed? i dunno. oh i'd also say that it was kinda hard to tell what the different tiles did based on the art. it would have been nicer if that was initially clearer. but yeah great music and art! good job 👍
Apr 5 23:43:22 9m 31s Hungry Bird ♥ 1 very cute and simple game, i suppose it would've been nice to see more variety. here's my high score! bird.png
Apr 6 00:04:30 21m 08s Super Mowser Bros ♥ 2 i love this idea! it fits really well with the theme, i guess it is inevitable that babio always saves cheap ðŸĪŠ the game explains itself really well. i did figure out around the 10 minute mark that the game was pretty easy. i made quite a few castles very spread apart, so i guess i could play it kinda like cookie clicker... i'll check on it tomorrow and see if babio makes it ðŸ‘Ļ‍🔧
Apr 6 03:39:45 3h 35m Robster ♥ 2 i was able to make it to 99 seconds! i'll never know if it was possible to make it into the triple digits... i thought the game was simple and effective! i guess it would've been nice if there was more scenery and stuff. robot.png
Apr 6 04:24:23 44m 38s Halberd ♥ 1 i was able to complete the game, and *mostly* without killing anyone! aside from the grappling hook i thought the controls were pretty intuitive. i almost thought the game ended at the first flat area because i couldn't figure out how to use the grappling hook halberd.png
Apr 6 04:37:42 13m 19s Farm Defender ♥ 3 it would've been nice if there was a way to replace troops, because i did find my self in a situation where none of my troops could fight someone at the door and there was nothing i could do because all the spots were taken
Apr 6 04:49:52 12m 10s Mad Monkey Manor ♥ 2 great music, great monkey noises. what else could a game need? monke.png
Apr 6 06:16:16 1h 26m Different Strokes ♥ 4 i loved this entry, what a cool idea! i have no feedback, but i hope you like my bug i drew bug.png
Apr 6 15:39:41 9h 23m Curse of the Blood Crystal ♥ 3 after a few tries i was able to get my name on the board! at first i thought the little red flames enemies drop was bad so avoided them, but later i figured out that it was health ðŸĪŠ i liked the music and the gameplay was effective, i think the high score board added a lot. i'd only like to see some more variety and stuff. crystal.png
Apr 6 15:50:28 10m 47s Ice Ace ♥ 0 i thought the game and the art were pretty cute! i'd say that the game really doesn't give you a change to get your bearings when you start, it kinda comes at you fast at first but i was able to figure things. maybe i'd suggest slowing the bar down a bit and/or making it so it goes up and down as opposed to filling up and immediately firing off. but yeah i liked the idea and i thought it was cool that it progressively got harder, with the globe spinning around and stuff. good job! 👍 ice.png
Apr 6 16:47:30 57m 02s Foul Play ♥ 0 i had someone to play with but unfortunately i couldn't figure out how to get the client to connect to my server. i have port forwarding setup on my machine, but the game doesn't tell you what port it's on. it would've been nice to have some instruction.
Apr 6 17:13:50 26m 20s Domotichaos ♥ 1 great entry! i liked how the music always felt like it was going up, kinda like the endless staircase music super mario 64. gampa.png
Apr 6 18:08:53 55m 03s DisasterGuard ♥ 2 i thought this was a lot of fun! it kinda reminded me of old call of duty zombies in a way. lots of running around and managing different issues. i will say at first i had a hard time getting my bearings, just like figuring out where everything is and what i was supposed to do. maybe a map would've been nice? it also would've been nice if there was some more visual feedback in terms of when things went wrong. maybe like a text log would've worked, like "x aliens have landed, reactor 2 needs repair" as opposed to the flashing symbols and colors. oh and i noticed my mouse was invisible in the pause menu, so it was hard to change the mouse sensitivity and stuff. i played through it a few times so i could try out different strategies, i figured out the sniper rifle was pretty over-powered. lotta fun, great job 👍
Apr 6 22:17:11 4h 08m PsyDog ♥ 2 i am dog, i protec >:(
Apr 7 15:27:04 17h 09m UFOTag ♥ 2 it seems i was able to find an infinite cow defense strategy! i would've left it running in the background but the game pauses when you click off, so i just called it at 40 :) ðŸŪ pretty solid entry, i can only say that i would've like more in terms of visual feedback. at first i thought the bombs would hurt me if i got too close to them when they exploded ufo_cows.png
Apr 7 15:38:40 11m 36s Stay Afloat ♥ 1 good job! i thought this was simple platformer executed well. i suppose i could say that during those "now updating" dialogues the platforms would still lower, so your first time through a level would be a little harder. oh and the power distribution feature was interesting, but i didn't find myself using it very much. and this is prolly my fault but i didn't know there was sound at first because it's muted by default haha. anyways solid entry! 👍
Apr 7 15:47:56 9m 16s Aliens...S ♥ 1 good job on this entry! it worked pretty well and i liked the premise. i guess i'd say that it would've been nice for there to be more visual feedback, i wasn't sure what the blue bar was, how much health i had, or if it was okay to just let the aliens fly by.
Apr 7 16:08:26 20m 30s Star Keeper ♥ 0 i thought the scenes were interesting and well executed! i was able to complete it, though i'd say i found the puzzles a little confusing. also, i fell off on the yellow planet and had to restart the game because i was falling for forever.
Apr 7 16:19:34 11m 08s Fruitloose ♥ 1 cute little game! i was able to get like 40 points on one level 😏. pretty simple and well executed entry, not much to say about it. more visual feedback is always nice i guess, maybe the walls could glow when you hover them? i dunno.
Apr 8 15:11:55 22h 52m Chase ♥ 1 i like evading the police
Apr 8 15:29:36 17m 41s Cussmuss: the ice cone fuss ♥ 1 this was wild haha. between the music and the art, this left for a memorable experience, i liked this a lot. i did find the gameplay pretty confusing, but that kind of added to the experience for me
Apr 12 15:05:37 95h 36m Boop The Balloon ♥ 1 very cute game! it made me smile :) i only wish there was more to it, it was pretty easy to keep the balloon up. but i thought all the different ways you could keep the balloon up were pretty witty! doggo2.png
Apr 12 15:18:11 12m 34s CinderWoods ♥ 1 i was able to survive for quite a while! i thought that with my strategy that i could play indefinitely but it seems like it gets more difficult over time. i'm happy to see that! overall a solid entry 👍 fire.png
Apr 12 15:57:33 39m 22s Desert Oasis ♥ 1 i really liked the art style and the atmosphere! there wasn't much in terms of gameplay, but i appreciate the chill pace this game offers. i mostly just felt like an on-looker. i ended up just leaving this on in the background, checking up on the blups every once and a while. i would say that the pure black text could be a little hard to read at times, but aside from that the game was pretty clear.
Apr 12 19:00:51 3h 03m Lost In Space ♥ 0 i thought the audio and the graphics were really well executed! this is a good lookin game! gameplay was simple as well. for my feedback it was kinda hard to tell if the robot was carrying a battery since i was mostly seeing their back the whole time. battery.png also i did have an issue when first booting up the game. i have 2 monitors, one landscape the other portrait. i had a problem when opening the game where it would convert the main landscape monitor to portrait and would display the game sideways. i was able to fix it by temporarily disabling my portrait monitor. not a big deal, but thought i'd let ya know 🐛
Apr 12 19:12:40 11m 49s Beach Breach ♥ 2 i thought the graphics were really cute! and i thought the chill beach vibes were really great! i didn't find it particularly difficult, i was able to build an unstoppable wall of sandapults after the first few rounds and i didn't have to do much of anything after that. sand.png
