| Oct 4 03:27:22 | Cryptomon | ♥ 2 | The game background looks pretty neat! Too bad it isn't interactive though. I think more time devoted to juice (UI sound effects, in-game help like tooltips) would have helped. I couldn't figure out how to look after the cryptomon as their health just constantly drained. Was this an unimplemented feature? | |
| Oct 4 04:38:21 | 1h 10m | Persistence | ♥ 1 | I like this take on the theme, the idea is quite clever. I must admit I'm not good at block puzzles and it was too harsh for me to solve! I think the theme works against this mechanic. The music and art are both pretty neat, it gives it a mysterious mood. |
| Oct 4 05:33:27 | 55m 06s | Lock Up | ♥ 2 | Great use of the theme, it's like a series of time-limited trolley questions, telling an interactive story. LD embed didn't work for me, but the itch one worked. |
| Oct 4 06:23:30 | 50m 03s | WHERE IS THAT KITTY GOING??? | ♥ 4 | Everyone needs a skateboarding cat. Nice game! The double jumping (?) mechanic was tricky to master. |
| Oct 4 07:03:24 | 39m 54s | Pancake Simulator | ♥ 1 | The presentation is very nice, great music, artwork is amazing. It seems to be a bit buggy, sometimes I'm getting invisible pancakes that won't flip, and I feel the screen shake and camera pan are confusing and don't feel great. But overall this is awesome. |
| Oct 4 07:51:40 | 48m 16s | Police Arrive Every 10 Seconds | ♥ 1 | Love the little touches like the cute walking animation, satisfying shoot and hit sounds, and the music is pretty cool too. I feel that the safe(?) opening action takes too long which slows down the pacing of an otherwise fast paced shooting game. Kinda fun anyway! This reminds me of the flash shooting games with upgrades. |
| Oct 4 08:01:07 | 9m 27s | Tiny Jukebox | ♥ 1 | Pretty impressive making so many short tracks in a weekend! This is very impressive, can't think of any major things that could have been better. The presentation is just fantastic, love the dancing jukebox and backgrounds. |
| Oct 4 11:48:50 | 3h 47m | Fungi Forager | ♥ 0 | The controls feel a bit weird, the top speed feels a bit too aggressive. But together with the chaotic music, it gives it a weird madcap energy that is quite amusing. It was a treat to play! |
| Oct 4 11:54:24 | 5m 34s | Two Tanks | ♥ 1 | gotta admit it feels weird to be much weaker than the enemy, and only having three shots that reload in a long time! But once I understood what was going on, it was an interesting game. I think a sound effect when you are firing should make it very obvious that the blue tank is shooting. Overall nice entry for your first jam! |
| Oct 4 12:49:56 | 55m 32s | Kitty Pounder | ♥ 2 | This is a game for anyone who has been judged by cats. Which is everyone. Diabolical! Like it. The sound effects are very satisfying and the music is pretty quirky too |
| Oct 4 13:16:26 | 26m 30s | 10 seconds old | ♥ 2 | The different ages are unique so that was cool to see. Too bad most of the abilities seem to be useless haha! Maybe this is a commentary on life? Interesting take on the theme |
| Oct 7 09:20:45 | 68h 04m | Fall Apart | ♥ 3 | I didn't get any audio... was it because of the LD embed? First off, really nice background art, looks very detailed and a lived-in space. The gameplay seems simplistic, I wonder if more was planned but not enough time available? For example, I think it would be cool if to fix things, you needed to move across different areas, or there were dependencies between problems, so that you can be a bit more strategic about what to fix first. A promising start. Comfy game! |
| Oct 7 09:33:10 | 12m 25s | Internal Business Struggle | ♥ 3 | Perfect use of the theme. Nice work! |
| Oct 7 09:46:15 | 13m 05s | Tumbletris | ♥ 0 | Really nice game! I love the graphics and the juice is very satisfying. The gameplay is pretty interesting, but I can see how crunch really hurt you here - the difficulty rampup is too gradual, and it's quite boring at the start. I'm sure with some playtesting and tuning it could have been really compelling. Small nitpick: the A button also moves left because of Unity; a bit annoying. Overall very good! And congratulations on 10 consecutive submissions, that's very impressive! |
| Oct 9 16:14:42 | 54h 28m | PORTAL TO THE RIGHT WORLD | ♥ 1 | This game ended too soon! The art is beautiful, I wonder if too much time was spent on it than the rest of the game lol! Good effort for a first game |
| Oct 14 13:55:00 | 117h 40m | Murmillo vs Murmillo | ♥ 1 | Pretty neat idea and take on the hot potato mechanic. Some more environmental interactivity might help, for example stunning each other by throwing things, jumping on each other, knocking things over with the bomb and so on. Nice polish with the roman theme! |
| Oct 14 17:59:14 | 4h 04m | Gold Collex Hex Defense | ♥ 1 | The game doesn't seem to work - I cannot drag gold onto towers. Maybe this is an issue with the web build? |
| Oct 14 18:07:18 | 8m 04s | Michael Finnegan Begins Again | ♥ 1 | This is a very good entry. Love the music and attention given to sound effects, nice! As others have said the movement mechanics could have been tightened up, and perhaps some landmarks could have helped the player navigate. The sprites would have been better if the interactive elements stood out more - either via strong contrast or via animation. Just nitpicks, because overall it's a great game. Well done! |
| Oct 15 10:06:06 | 15h 58m | Room Again | ♥ 2 | Nice, tight puzzle game. The puzzle logic makes sense which is pretty good, and suits the fast paced action. Great use of storytelling to teach the player how to play the game. A shame about the abrupt ending! Would have loved to see some sort of creepy twist here. @fae-pdf "jo" is the first part of "johnny" as in "here's johnny", a the shining reference. Nice little misdirection for what to use the axe for! |
| Oct 15 12:03:28 | 1h 57m | Gridlock! | ♥ 1 | Neat game! Works quite well. It is intuitive and challenging at the same time. The art is rough but fits with the sketchbook aesthetic. |
| Oct 15 12:39:47 | 36m 19s | Pablo's piñata party | ♥ 0 | Love pablo's clothing choice, very fiesta! |
| Oct 15 14:38:37 | 1h 58m | Trash Planet | ♥ 0 | Screen Shot 2022-10-15 at 4.38.07 pm.png I'm getting this error as soon as I reach the exit of the first level |
| Oct 15 20:10:40 | 5h 32m | Weirdo Words | ♥ 1 | Nice game! Works well, and fits the theme perfectly. The sound and visual effects were pretty goofy but it made the game very satisfying to play. |
| Oct 19 07:02:45 | 82h 52m | MinotaurRush | ♥ 2 | Couldn't really rate the fun of the game since I am only a single player. Otherwise looks pretty polished! The audio really contributed to the mood, and the run cycles were pretty funny! As others have said powerups would have been awesome, if only to encourage the players to go to certain locations. |
| Oct 19 19:23:49 | 12h 21m | TeleSpy | ♥ 1 | Hit it out of the park with the music, even the goofy sound effects work pretty well! Graphics are nice, clear and functional. This is a great use of the theme, there is genuine tension with being chased by guards and hoping the teleport kicks in! I wish there were cleverer levels that challenge the player and force creative uses of the teleport mechanic. Bit of jank as you can teleport outside the level haha! Great entry overall, very fun. |
| Oct 19 19:36:34 | 12m 45s | MinerLoop | ♥ 1 | The game is definitely interesting, if somewhat puzzling. Really cool to see such games during a jam! |
