| Oct 3 22:21:37 | The Night Owl Murder | ♥ 3 | Wow! What a standout game - beautiful moody art, quality voice acting and a fleshed out story. I really enjoyed this!! | |
| Oct 3 22:36:29 | 14m 52s | Frogwatch | ♥ 4 | What an adorably charming entry! I love the style, music and pixel art, I genuinely felt bad every time a witch took off one of those sweet little frogs. Main criticism is perhaps the movement could have been sped up - getting around felt a bit sluggish. All in all though I thought this an enjoyable and easily digestible little game! |
| Oct 3 22:49:17 | 12m 48s | Schrodinger's Afterlife | ♥ 3 | A really cool take on the theme! It started out pretty straightforward but by the end some of the rooms were really stumping me! The soundtrack is banging too - I've got the heavy guitar riff from the hell part stuck in my head as I type this! |
| Oct 3 22:58:53 | 9m 36s | The Flock and the Flood | ♥ 2 | Devastated! I had 60 sheep and got greedy trying to eat a dark green patch by the water, the rain came in and I lost more than half. A fun game, though! Quite calming, especially with the music. |
| Oct 3 23:14:27 | 15m 34s | Parcel Problems. | ♥ 2 | Good stuff! It took me a little while to get the hang of the controls but once I got into the flow I found it very satisfying. I really like the atmosphere created by the background noise as well. I've worked some pretty bleak jobs in my life but you made it fun! |
| Oct 3 23:22:38 | 8m 11s | Cyber Samurai | ♥ 2 | I really love the beautiful cyberpunk background and the chill music, and I thought the concept and take on the theme was really interesting! I just found the movement a bit too jerky and slippery, I never quite felt that I was in control of the player. |
| Oct 3 23:42:52 | 20m 14s | It moved?.. | ♥ 3 | It literally made my skin crawl when those things were coming after me. Well done! |
| Oct 4 15:20:52 | 15h 38m | Bearly Fishing | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed this! Difficult enough to die a lot but always feel like you were just one slightly mistimed grapple from reaching the next lot of water - "I'll get it this time!". Beautiful pixel art as well! |
| Oct 4 15:32:32 | 11m 40s | Starshot | ♥ 2 | I like the take on the theme with really short, easily digestible levels! Although the movement felt a bit too fast and I'd often lose a life running out of time trying to figure out where the flag was. I don't think I made it past level 5 in many attempts...although the fact I tried so many times means I was certainly enjoying myself, it's quite addictive! |
| Oct 4 16:02:15 | 29m 43s | Space Frontier | ♥ 3 | I'm seriously impressed with what you guys were able to pack into a game jam! I really enjoyed playing this - it was a bit tricky initially figuring out what I needed to do, but once I grasped that I was hooked! Beautiful art and satisfying gameplay, well done! |
| Oct 4 16:15:14 | 12m 59s | Big Irony | ♥ 1 | Love the background music, I had fun playing this with my wife - she never normally plays video games but still managed to kill me a few times! |
| Oct 4 16:28:39 | 13m 25s | Ticktock Tactics | ♥ 2 | This is great! The pixel art is beautiful, the background music fits really well and the whole game feels well thought out and balanced. Very enjoyable! |
| Oct 4 16:43:52 | 15m 13s | Binary Blasterz『ロボット 弾幕』 | ♥ 2 | Using binary for the theme was a stroke of genius, the gameplay itself is fun and innovative and the 1 bit pixel art is beautiful. I loved this! |
| Oct 4 21:45:50 | 5h 01m | Waves | ♥ 3 | Great job! A really beautiful, interesting game that with an incredible ambience and atmosphere, although I found it a bit challenging to know exactly where I was and where to go at times. |
| Oct 4 22:01:05 | 15m 15s | Dreamare | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed reading all the snippets on the bookshelves, they explored different emotional/mental states very well! Nice art and ambient sounds, really smooth controls and movement and I liked the themes and subjects tackled and explored in the game, although I found myself walking around aimlessly at times and I thought it finished quite abruptly. |
| Oct 4 22:26:58 | 25m 53s | Resource: Remixed | ♥ 1 | This was good fun! I thought the art was stunning, and I really enjoyed progressing, upgrading my robot's powers and unlocking new parts of the map! My only real criticism would be the camera, I would have liked to have been able to rotate it around to see where I was going a better. |
| Oct 4 22:44:41 | 17m 43s | Snail Gale | ♥ 0 | Honestly you had me at snail...this game really made me laugh! I loved the art and the music so much, I thought the story idea was great and very original but perhaps Gale could have moved a bit quicker, and I got stuck behind counters as the snail a few times. |
| Oct 4 22:55:43 | 11m 02s | 10 Second Traffic | ♥ 3 | I thought the controls, especially the jump, were smooth and responsive, and I laughed at the little death sprite every time I died! I also like how the new cards stack on top of each other - it got pretty hectic after a while! Simple but fun and addictive. |
| Oct 4 23:10:38 | 14m 55s | Cat Blaster | ♥ 1 | Nice job! I can't put into words how perfect the sound of the cat taking damage was. I liked the way that the levels got harder and harder, as well as the variety in what's needed to be done to complete them - I died quite a lot on the last few levels but always wanted to try again! |
| Oct 4 23:25:03 | 14m 25s | Adrem Amet | ♥ 5 | Wow. I genuinely struggled to play this at times because it was so unsettling! Well done! Those footsteps put me so on edge and the killer looked creepy even in such low poly - it's rare for me to feel this way after playing a game but it gave me the shivers. There were a few technical issues like texture clipping and I thought it was a bit too difficult but overall a very, very creepy and enjoyable entry! |
| Oct 4 23:41:29 | 16m 26s | Seasons Journey | ♥ 1 | Congratulations on your first game! Nice pixel art, and I really liked the idea of the changing seasons and the impact it has on how you can move through the levels - very creative. I would suggest looking up about jump buffers and coyote time just to increase the smoothness of movement on platforms in the future. Well done on the submission! |
| Oct 4 23:52:51 | 11m 22s | Table Scraps | ♥ 2 | As a dog lover and pixel artist this hit the spot!! It was bonkers, I was laughing the whole way through (and plus points on The Simpsons reference!) although it hit me in the feels whenever the poor little fella died 😢 The anticipation frames for the jump got me a bit - generally I think that for player characters they feel laggy (even if they look better) but other than that I enjoyed playing this fun, zany little game! |
| Oct 5 00:11:25 | 18m 34s | Clockwork Owl | ♥ 1 | I'm tempted to give you full marks on everything for the puns alone!! I liked the concept and it was really satisfying watching a whole heap of cogs drop and clearing half a fox's health in one go. Very charming art and nice, calming vibes, although it felt a bit too slow to progress. |
| Oct 5 20:02:36 | 19h 51m | Chromo Trigger | ♥ 5 | I had so much fun playing this! The voice acting was epic and the gameplay loop was fun and really addicting. I especially like the way taking damage reduces the gems, and powering up to the wizard felt just the right level of OP. Great stuff! |
| Oct 5 21:35:01 | 1h 32m | Void Well | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I really love the retro style pixel art and the controls were really smoothly implemented. I thought the game itself was straightforward yet innovative and fun. Challenging enough that you'll die in a couple of minutes (at least in my case!) but gripping and fun that you want to try again and get a higher score! High Score.png |
| Oct 5 21:43:33 | 8m 32s | Cyber Survivor | ♥ 1 | An enjoyable game - the controls and shooting felt very smooth and well implemented, and clearing out chunks of enemies with the skills felt really satisfying. |
| Oct 5 21:55:55 | 12m 22s | Tumbletris | ♥ 1 | A really cool take on the genre, I thought the screen flip was a really inspired idea! The pixel art and audio are cute and charming too. Nice job! |
| Oct 5 22:03:19 | 7m 24s | Psycho Petting | ♥ 3 | An interesting, quirky, cute little game! Great atmosphere - both the dream and the nightmare in their own way, and well implemented controls - fluid movement and combat. I was pretty devastated on my first playthrough when I realized all the dead spiders turned into dead bunnies! 😢 so I just tried to run away from them after that. |
| Oct 5 22:25:49 | 22m 30s | It Comes At Midnight | ♥ 1 | I had SO much fun playing this game! The whole experience was pretty unsettling, there were times early on that I never thought I'd finish it in ten seconds but every round a got a little bit further. The art is great, the sound effects really eery and I can still see those two red eyes! Definitely one of the standout games I've played for this jam, well done! |
| Oct 6 13:16:40 | 14h 50m | Helping | ♥ 1 | A nice, chilled game with just the right level of stress and quick reactions when you see the orderlies running across. I played it on the PC and it ran just fine! |
| Oct 6 13:24:34 | 7m 54s | CyberBeat | ♥ 1 | Nice pixel art and really cohesive music that fits with the graphics. Good job getting so much done despite restarting on Sunday! |
| Oct 6 13:42:18 | 17m 44s | Flocker | ♥ 1 | Massive respect with how you've made this game! Working with shaders seriously makes my head spin (and I'm in fact doing just this at university this term!) The game itself is beautiful and absorbing - it took me a second to get the hang of how to control the particles but once I picked it up it was really fun watching the swarms swirling around. Overall a cool and unique entry! |
| Oct 7 14:06:18 | 24h 24m | Psycho Chaos | ♥ 2 | Nice pixel art, I liked the take on the theme - not being able to shoot for chunks of time is a nice twist on the genre, and I thought the almost vertigo inducing camera movement definitely suited the vibes of the game. I thought the enemies perhaps had a bit too much health considering they can only be attacked half the time. |
| Oct 7 14:21:49 | 15m 31s | Taking over the world | ♥ 1 | What an insane amount of work you must have put into this! It's definitely one of the more complex and thought out games I've played from this jam, and I liked the take on the theme - it worked really well for this game. I thought perhaps the movement could have been sped up a bit, and it took me a little while to really figure out what I was doing, but overall a very impressive entry! |
| Oct 7 14:28:31 | 6m 42s | SquareMan | ♥ 1 | A really fun, fast paced game! I died (a lot) but always wanted to go again straight away, knowing I could do better next time. The music perfectly suited the slightly frantic pace of the game, and I loved the sound made when I ate one of the cyan squares. |
| Oct 8 18:06:49 | 27h 38m | Curse of the Wereburger | ♥ 2 | What an incredibly polished game! The art is absolutely stunning, the mechanics are perfectly implemented, starting off nice and easy but getting harder as the game progresses with more enemies and more thought needed to complete the levels. I really liked this, it's clear that you guys have some chops as far as making games goes and I look forward to seeing more from you! |
| Oct 8 20:55:07 | 2h 48m | Words Matter | ♥ 1 | I really liked the art and I thought the concept and idea was cool, original and interesting! Although I really struggled at the beginning to grasp what I needed to do, perhaps some tutorial level or something at the start would have helped. |
| Oct 8 21:11:42 | 16m 35s | Loop Arena | ♥ 1 | I really enjoyed the take on the theme! A really fun, addicting gameplay loop where failure doesn't set you back too far - it's easy to quickly just go again and try a different route this time. Controls and combat was also smooth and responsive. Good job all around! |
| Oct 8 21:22:23 | 10m 41s | Shattering Star | ♥ 2 | I loved this! All three of the time zones had really great atmosphere in their own way, the graphics and controls were really good, and the puzzles required just the right amount of consideration for a game jam game. A really good entry! |
| Oct 8 22:03:34 | 41m 11s | It cannot die so you must not kill it. | ♥ 1 | I thought the controls were smooth and the theme and gameplay loop was straightforward and simple enough yet with increasing difficulty and complexity as the game progressed to keep it engaging. I had a few hit box issues (attacking an enemy and running through it without killing) and perhaps the clock shouldn't have been able to stop the player running, but overall an enjoyable game! |
| Oct 8 22:30:48 | 27m 14s | SecOnDay | ♥ 2 | I had a ton of fun playing this! The timer was a cool mechanic and it was just difficult enough for a jam game to spend a bit of time figuring it out without wanting to give up, (and I felt like a genius when I figured out the last puzzle!) |
| Oct 9 10:16:07 | 11h 45m | Dark Points | ♥ 1 | Wow!! Genuinely blown away by this game. It was unnerving and atmospheric, the gameplay was polished and smooth and the audio was perfect, it really felt like a complete game. Very difficult - it took me closer to an hour to complete, but I love a challenging game so I certainly count that as a positive. Overall, undoubtedly one of the standout games I've played from this year's LD! |
| Oct 9 10:45:29 | 29m 22s | DingDongDie | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this little game a lot - really beautiful pixel art, very smooth controls, good humour and the split between evading and attacking was a nice take. I'd have loved to have played more, and I mean that not as a critique (I know how hard the time restraints are!) but as a compliment, because I was having fun! |
| Oct 9 11:38:52 | 53m 23s | locked in | ♥ 0 | I like the take on the theme as well as the topics covered and the art is very beautiful. The game itself was a bit glitchy and hard at times to figure out what needed to be done. |
| Oct 9 12:33:18 | 54m 26s | 10 Seconds Ambush | ♥ 1 | Straightforward to start with but well paced - it definitely gets difficult and bonkers out of hand as the levels progress! Very well implemented movement and a good dose of humour. |
| Oct 9 14:39:54 | 2h 06m | Countdown Cowboy | ♥ 1 | What a fun game! Every level felt polished and well executed, tied together well with a cowboy theme and with a good increase in difficulty. The pixel art was vibrant and readable, and the music suited the game perfectly. Thoroughly enjoyable! |
| Oct 9 15:07:28 | 27m 34s | Teen Detective Allegra Gumshoe in Temporal Troubles!!! | ♥ 1 | I enjoyed this a lot! There's some obvious issues which you've already gone over so I won't bother, but the puzzles were well thought out, there was plenty of humour and the art and audio were great. Flawed but still very fun! |
| Oct 9 22:13:37 | 7h 06m | For Greater Good | ♥ 1 | I was laughing the whole time I played this - great art, music and SFX, a funny, morbid setting and a very original take on the theme. Well done! |
| Oct 10 13:52:48 | 15h 39m | Lights Out | ♥ 1 | I genuinely screamed out loud the first time I saw the monster and played most of the game with my eyes half shut from there on. Absolutely phenomenal mood and atmosphere, and a really great game all around. Definitely one of my top top favourites from this years LD! |
| Oct 10 15:30:58 | 1h 38m | Sisyphean Flash | ♥ 1 | I liked the take on the theme, with short, digestible waves that get progressively harder - perfect for a quick jam game! To add to some of the critiques, perhaps the wave ending after you've defeated the last enemy would speed things up, as well as an option to skip the upgrade selection so that I'm not sitting around watching the countdown timer after spending my scrap. |
| Oct 10 16:53:57 | 1h 22m | Brightsight | ♥ 2 | Wow - what an incredibly polished game! The audio/sfx/voice acting and art was superb, and the levels were really well balanced, starting off nice and simple, introducing the mechanics, before getting progressively harder and harder. I had a lot of fun playing this very impressive game! |
| Oct 10 17:15:41 | 21m 44s | Terraform Arena | ♥ 1 | I really liked the idea of the changing landscape every 10 seconds - a very unique and fun take on the theme! |
| Oct 10 17:25:51 | 10m 10s | Nuclear Waste Disposal | ♥ 0 | I think this game would definitely benefit from some more detailed description of the controls and what needs to be done. It took me a long time to figure out what I had to do, but once that was over and done with I found a really fun, unique puzzler that I enjoyed playing! |
| Oct 10 17:39:52 | 14m 01s | 10 Seconds Til Spawn | ♥ 1 | This was really fun! Dying every 10 seconds is a cool take on the theme, and the gameplay/combat was very smooth and well implemented. I lost quite a few times but always wanted to try again, and for me that's a sign of a good game! |
| Oct 11 13:18:59 | 19h 39m | Kangaroo Court | ♥ 1 | Fantastic art and sound, plenty of humour and an all around really fun game! If I'm going to nit-pick, the gravel smashing mechanic could have been smoother (I often had to swing it up and down a few times to get the verdict) but the rest of the game was spot on! |
| Oct 17 17:56:08 | 148h 37m | Temporal Escape | ♥ 2 | Nice snappy, fast paced combat and good movement controls, the music suits the speed of the game really well and pushes the player on. |
| Oct 17 18:03:36 | 7m 28s | Alfred, Coffee Pot [WIP] | ♥ 2 | I absolutely loved the graphics and art - both in game and for the cutscenes - and the storyline and concept were really cool, funny and original. The controls felt a bit slow - being able to hold the button to move instead of repeatedly tapping would have felt better (at least for me!) and I often got stuck trying to leave the hiding place, with my coffee pot jumping back into hiding as soon as I'd left. |
| Oct 17 19:57:28 | 1h 53m | 10 Seconds Solar | ♥ 1 | A very fun game! I liked the concept - I found it original and interesting, and I enjoyed playing - I always wanted to try again after I died, knowing I could do better next time! I thought the movement was too fast though - I often flew past resources without picking them up or past the shelter without being able to enter in time, and perhaps a few more shelters would have made exploring other parts of the map a bit more feasible. But overall, a really good entry! |
| Oct 19 10:03:05 | 38h 05m | Windy Mountain | ♥ 1 | A fun little platformer! Cute low res pixel art and snappy movement, I think perhaps the hit boxes for the double jumps could have been a bit bigger - I often missed them in a position that felt like it should have worked. But overall this didn't at all feel unfinished - good work! |
