| Oct 4 22:51:53 | Spooky Glitch | ♥ 6 | It's Halloweeeeen season!! I like to see we were not the only ones to choose "minigames every ten seconds". I love the portable console feel and the graphics :D | |
| Oct 4 23:02:09 | 10m 16s | Game 0 | ♥ 2 | That was quite a powerful story, through visuals. Impressive work tackling this! |
| Oct 4 23:30:18 | 28m 09s | Le Petit Jardin | ♥ 3 | I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I spent a lot of time just turning around in the garden while cutting grass and pretending to be Link ahah. Clever mechanichs, beautiful graphics, and amazingly relaxing. The humming <3 Looking forward to seeing what you do next! |
| Oct 4 23:40:37 | 10m 19s | Rockatoo | ♥ 0 | Easily one of my favourite games so far. I followed you since LD46, and you always present amazing stuff. I am trying to get a perfect score in each scene ahah. The pixel art is just breath-taking, the music got me head-banging, and the twist on rythm games was a nice touch. |
| Oct 4 23:48:58 | 8m 21s | The Sandwicher | ♥ 0 | You always deliver on game feel!! The juice was so very juicy. Awesome game, will definitely try to improve on my way of the sandwicher. |
| Oct 5 00:04:04 | 15m 06s | Escape the Breach | ♥ 1 | 523m, final run for me. I saw the dinosaur after a few runs, and really wanted to see what else you has in store! The inversion of the screen, then of the colour broke my last brain cell of the day ahah. The laser bot got me on the third shot :') Loved that the patterns are randomised, the retro feel, and my favorite element (apart from the dino), was the animation of the dimension change. Gameplay is really intuitive and works super smoothly. |
| Oct 5 00:15:45 | 11m 41s | Garden Panic | ♥ 2 | Aaah! I love the graphics :D Great work there, like always! The music sounds nice, repetitive and never annoying. Simple and to the point :) I look forward to seeing your team's next game. |
| Oct 5 00:24:02 | 8m 17s | Sidekick Highschool | ♥ 1 | This is a great first jam game! Welcome to this fantastic world. I went throught the games a couple times to get all the answers, I was curious hehe. |
| Oct 5 00:49:06 | 25m 04s | Pet the Damn Cat! | ♥ 2 | My favourite game so far. I shook my head 360 style on Zoom, as one would do in real life too. As a cat mom with a needy boi, this is so very accurate. Fantastic. |
| Oct 5 18:35:10 | 17h 46m | Groceries Please! | ♥ 2 | I love it! Played three times to select different choices and see how the story would unfold. Balancing everything, and strategising about crate placement and stocking shelves was really fun. Great work!! Also, Pico8 <3 |
| Oct 5 18:42:11 | 7m 01s | Speed Barber | ♥ 3 | I love beards. Thank you for making me achive my dreams of shaping them. Simple, to the point. Works perfectly with the theme. Very nice art and beard hair physics, I might add. |
| Oct 5 18:53:03 | 10m 52s | Watch Out | ♥ 2 | The pixel art is fantastic, the difficulty and challenge just right, the music catchy - let's be honest, the best bit is when the batteries are dead :D I loved your take on the the theme, it was such a clever twist! |
| Oct 5 19:06:29 | 13m 26s | Decrypt | ♥ 2 | I also ran into the "I cannot see words" from stage 3 ahah. I adore word games, so glad to have found one! The bonus/malus combo was just the perfect balance too. UI makes it very comprehensive. I struggled a bit with understanding how to change the letter order as I wanted, but had a lot of fun. The timing works so well, imo. Job well done! :D |
| Oct 5 19:32:02 | 25m 33s | J-Menuing | ♥ 1 | That was such a challenging one! The randomising of the kill order AND attack menu... it took me a few rounds to notice ahah. Dies on stage 10, it was going too fast for my tired brain x) Sold entree, and smart choice focusing on gameplay - the simple graphics just work. |
| Oct 5 19:38:16 | 6m 14s | BackroomsBreak - Alpha version test v0.1 | ♥ 1 | - I like breaking walls too. - Simple to pickup, intuitive controls. - Sound design and monster approach are manageable, even for people hating jumpscares - It just works. - 10/10 would swing mallet again. Edit : AND I ESCAPED, YESSS! |
| Oct 5 20:21:13 | 42m 57s | Village Defender | ♥ 2 | Here for the music and the pixel art :D That chiptune is getting me nostalgic! Thank you for sharing. I unfortunately cannot play, as I encountered the same issue as blk_dog, stuck on 0% for quite some time, so I'll rate what I can see and hear :D PS: the details put in the settings are INCREDIBLE |
| Oct 5 20:39:01 | 17m 48s | Dodge48 | ♥ 2 | I played against myself, and I must say, one of me is better than the other...! I love pico8 games, and doing multiplayer is a fantastic idea - although I couldn't find an opponent at home. |
| Oct 5 20:41:55 | 2m 54s | Ludum Date | ♥ 0 | Good luck with the bug fixing! I look forward to seeing more :) |
| Oct 5 20:53:12 | 11m 17s | A Handy Job | ♥ 2 | Thank you for sharing your musics :D The concept is fantastic - and really makes me realise how bad I am at coordinating at the moment... The pixel art is brillant, I love when the manager just randomly sneaks up on you on the side, I couldn't hold a laugh, and I then got fire for failing ahaha! |
| Oct 5 21:15:00 | 21m 48s | ☕️ OverBrewed ! | ♥ 3 | I am in love with the music! Thank you for sharing, ohlala <3 Exactly the kind of autumn chill vibes I am looking for. Hygge, like they say in Danemark, I might add. Easy to pick up, hard to master. After a couple runs, I am now able to memorise the recipes and only mess up every 1 out of 5 orders! I don't even want to imagine the hard mode ahah. Difficulty number 2 is enough for me - and the simple fact you actually have multiplayer and several difficulties is astonishing. Just the right amount of everything! |
| Oct 5 21:24:59 | 9m 59s | Bad Thoughts | ♥ 4 | Thanks for sharing your music. This is so very trippy! The artistic direction is right up my alley ahah. Loving the sounds and graphics dearly. ...I managed to get a jumpscare from a ball sneaking up behind me, and killing me. |
| Oct 5 21:34:02 | 9m 03s | HeartBeat | ♥ 1 | Such a moody little story. This was absolutely lovely. I loved the pixel art and sound atmosphere, solid entree. |
| Oct 5 21:47:53 | 13m 51s | [X-ED OUT] | ♥ 2 | Thanks for sharing :D The music works so well. And oh my, this juice! I cleared 16 waves, after being a liiittle bit too daring to optimise money grabbing on the last few ahah. |
| Oct 5 21:59:57 | 12m 04s | Sprawl: A cyberpunk interactive graphic novel | ♥ 0 | You win for innovation! |
| Oct 5 22:08:58 | 9m 01s | T-10 | ♥ 4 | I clicked 61 times and got a raise, but then I got fired reapeatedly for being unable to build even the one rocket ... Challenging and fun, but I am unfortunately no rocket scientist. |
| Oct 5 22:16:36 | 7m 38s | Natural Snek-lection! | ♥ 3 | I fell in love with the drawings! Not to mention that mouth-track, and the fact that it is about GENETICS. <3 I truly think I have bred the most fabulous snake there can be. (I did try to disable Math) Screenshot 2022-10-05 231535.png |
| Oct 5 22:31:32 | 14m 56s | The CyberZapper | ♥ 1 | Smooth and efficient. Visually stunning. |
| Oct 5 22:42:35 | 11m 03s | The Curse of the Four Towers | ♥ 0 | Minimalistic pixel art is so complex to me, I admire what you did. Everything is so legible. I really enjoyed playing! The atmosphere with the music and environemental changes is greatly efficient. The Wilhelm scream had me laugh. Managed to destroy towers, but not four in one playthrough. Awesome work! |
| Oct 5 22:47:13 | 4m 38s | Birdwatching | ♥ 1 | Birbs! I enjoy your take - as well as typing, and latin. |
| Oct 5 22:55:46 | 8m 33s | Impending Doom of a Thousand Kitties | ♥ 3 | This games has : - cats - adorable pixel art - a music loop that will turn in your head minutes after playing - more cats Should you play? Yes. |
| Oct 5 23:05:42 | 9m 56s | Grandma's Groceries | ♥ 1 | I did NOT expect the ending ahahah! Really nice play on the theme. I was really invested in fetching those groceries! |
| Oct 5 23:19:28 | 13m 46s | Game Name | ♥ 3 | This is so meta ahaha. The polishing is incredible. Loving the art, music and excecution. All minigames have a fun easy to pick up gameplay, and they feel great. Beautiful entree, and probably my favourite game so far! |
| Oct 5 23:27:34 | 8m 06s | Psycho Petting | ♥ 3 | This is a brilliant idea, the duality between wanting to pet, but also wanting to optimise the kill by attracting all those rabbits to the soon-to-be bomb... ah! I love it. |
| Oct 5 23:43:48 | 16m 14s | Poda Wants a Statue | ♥ 2 | 113 years! Long live Poda. Fun and simple mechanics, really makes you hit replay to try and get a better score :D |
| Oct 6 21:34:02 | 21h 50m | Scratching By | ♥ 4 | Beautiful art! The recipes are great, and learning curve smooth. I just struggled a bit understanding the coffee. Impressive work here :) |
| Oct 6 22:23:43 | 49m 41s | Rain Systems | ♥ 1 | Working perfectly well on Win 11 here! I love puzzles like this. Took out a pen an paper, noted down all things, and tried commands one by one. I think I get it, but it seems my execution is off, unfortunately. Had a blast just thinking about it. Thanks for the fun!! And congrats on your entry. |
| Oct 6 22:39:24 | 15m 41s | Clique Hell High | ♥ 4 | That was fun! I am terrible at bullet hell, but the "you get a chance to heal" saved me more than once ahah. Great use of the theme. Congrats on your entree :) Happy these two can get their lives back in the end :D |
| Oct 6 22:49:24 | 10m 00s | Jekyll and Hide | ♥ 1 | BRILLANT! I had such fun! At first I was trying to avoir killing, but it quickly become a needed mechanic. One of my favourites. |
| Oct 6 23:14:36 | 25m 12s | The Night Owl Murder | ♥ 2 | That is art. The story and voice acting were brillant, and I loved the deeply contrasted pixel art - legible and gripping. One of the most impressive entries in terms of moodiness. |
| Oct 6 23:23:18 | 8m 42s | Headcount | ♥ 0 | 10 hits! I managed one within 8ms, somehow! Simple and efficient, solid. The SFX and music are quite soothing, and the slow fading to increase difficulty is just perfect. Nice job! |
| Oct 6 23:38:39 | 15m 21s | autoball | ♥ 1 | From reading the comments, I almost feel like I was playing it right ahah. Super easy to pick up, hard to master : a recipe for a fantastic game that just works. Clean, polished, solid. Nice one. |
| Oct 7 00:20:03 | 41m 24s | Bygone Melodies | ♥ 1 | Untitled.jpg First playthrough, tired and in browser, happy with the result nonetheless! It takes a bit of getting used to for each song to get hold of the rythm, and then it's such a pleasing ride! The drawing are beautiful, all animations so smooth... The music is soothing and catchy at the same time, I would definetly love to stream the soundtrack even out of the game :D Impeccable polish, and funny story as the cherry on top. Beautiful entry, thank you for the nice bedtime story. |
| Oct 7 00:44:48 | 24m 45s | Cult Of the Сelestial Knight | ♥ 4 | Win! Art style and animation are stunning. Props to you for making a really simple gameplay with intuitive controls, and a solid visual/auditive experience. I found that the battles grew increasingly easier due to the enemies throwing several attacks at you, and clicking when the candles was underneath several would count as a double attack/defence. Does not get in the way, the satisfaction of winning is still there ahah. |
| Oct 7 17:58:16 | 17h 13m | Zoombie Massacre | ♥ 2 | Big Hotline Miami vibes, here! Dynamic and pleasant gameplay. - Like some people mentioned, feedback for the guns for instance would be nice. - I struggled a bit with the white flashes, and the dark green of the grass might make the enemies a wee bit less legible. The sprites and cover art are dope. That's a solid one, great work. |
| Oct 7 18:10:08 | 11m 52s | Machine Yearning | ♥ 2 | You deserve so much more love. This is such a beautiful and fascinating idea. It reminds me of the language aptitude tests ([LLAMA](https://www.lognostics.co.uk/tools/LLAMA_3/index.htm)) I did a few month ago, to assess how good one is at leanring a new language, with sentence structures, grammar rules etc through pattern recognition. The way the brain works to make up rules without really being told anything is fantastic, and this game is an absolute ode to it. Couldn't help but read your feedback, @zungryware. It's a meta-level of fun, analysing why we associate one thing to another. You might enjoy going through the LLAMA tests I mentioned above, I had a blast going over why I had ease with this or that. Back to our captchas. It's simple, it's addictive, it looks just great. Loved to see the timer in the background and the colour gradiant. I managed to get 69 rounds in! |
| Oct 7 18:32:05 | 21m 57s | This Date Blows! | ♥ 3 | That's what I call innovation, and brings a nice addition to the dating sim genre ahah. The amount of content is impressive. Voice acting and spacial sounds, yes please. I crave bad puns, thank you for packing them here. If you don't catch that one rule, you pay. Simple gameplay, just works. Great entry. Definitely second the headphones recommendation, I couldn't play with speakers. |
| Oct 7 18:48:44 | 16m 39s | Citri Plays Noirwood | ♥ 0 | The art and animations are stunning. The game in the game is challenging just the right amount. The sound ambiance was on point. |
| Oct 7 19:08:50 | 20m 06s | An Average Day At The Cat Cafe | ♥ 0 | The art is incredible. The coffee making needs a bit of trial and error to remember, but nothing tedious. No hand-holding, all flows smoothly. The night brings a nice unexpected yet gradual twist, very pleasant. The walking one step per key at a time was not very intuitive for me at first, but made a lot of sense when in the kitchen. A great entry, thank you for making this despite the sickness, and I wish you a good recovery!! |
| Oct 7 20:40:35 | 1h 31m | Please don't litter | ♥ 1 | That went into a direction I was not expecting, all for the better. The backstory is just the right amount of cryptic, too. Loved the boss fight. The spawning of garbage lights and sfx are one detail I appreciated the most. The attention to detail you put in this... congrats on your entry. |
| Oct 8 18:07:13 | 21h 26m | Anne & the Raccoons | ♥ 2 | I didn't look at the controls at first, and was using F, so it kinda prevented me to understand on my first playthrought ahah. When I got that it was a debug key, the second time around it quickly made more sense! I ADORE the racoons dancing around, and the wee tune going with it. It's adorable. Low poly works great. You could easily build up on the game and do more tasks, more levels... Nice entry! |
| Oct 8 21:42:10 | 3h 34m | Sweet Seconds | ♥ 1 | This is great! I love the colours you chose - totally not just saying this because purple is my favourite colour, it really does work well. I thoroughly enjoy making donuts and hot dogs. The way things are slowly introduced to you makes the progression very natural. You made a good one, it's hard to stop until all levels are cleared. Very clever pun btw. One tiny thing I noticed, I think the mouse icon might be wrong in two bits of the tutorial : Screenshot 2022-10-08 221242e.png Screenshot 2022-10-08 221434.png |
| Oct 8 22:34:14 | 52m 04s | Silvi | ♥ 1 | Aaah I loved growing plants! I'm amazed you managed to transfer real growing 'strategies' to the game, in such a digestible way. I played story mode, and was really getting in the story. Unfortunately, I don't know if it is not finished or if my game is stuck, but after the small plant with a lot of colourful flowers, I could not get the text to show up :( Screenshot 2022-10-08 233119.png I had a lovely experience, this was relaxing and perfect before bed. Congrats! Cat for the done button? Perfect. Menu and flowers animation for scene change? Even more perfect. |
| Oct 8 22:47:44 | 13m 30s | What's the rules? | ♥ 0 | Like other, I am unfortunately unable to firgure out the watch. Nevertheless, I love the concept of minigames like this, and having to figure out what to do. Starting over from the begining is rather frustrating though. The art style is simple and that's excellent - black and white doodle aesthetics ftw. Great entry. |
| Oct 8 23:10:17 | 22m 33s | The Stack Machine | ♥ 2 | Oh myyy! Had not dealt with stacks in a while. This made them fun all over again! It's such a neat game. The instructions are clear, and seeing the result of each input really helps make sure we understood what does what. Like in 'real' programing, I love how there are many solutions for one given problem, I tried digging with fewer inputs for instance... it felt like cheating ahah! Screenshot 2022-10-09 000839.png One of my favourites! Congrats. |
| Oct 8 23:42:39 | 32m 22s | Drum Dance Showdown | ♥ 1 | IT IS SO GOOOD! The track and how sounds were associated to moves really got me going for a while - I managed to go about 17 moves in I believe. The little drummer get is adorable, and the colours scheme is pleasant. I am tempted to go back and try to see if there is an end to it :D Your game deserves more love!! |
| Oct 16 21:18:12 | 189h 35m | Countdown | ♥ 1 | Very nice concept, I really like having to remember the placement, once I understand the puzzle, in order to defuse. Great job, definitely had fun. |
| Oct 16 21:36:22 | 18m 10s | CCTV: The One Who Watches | ♥ 2 | I had fun :D Loving the minigames idea, and how you put it into place. The vibes are fantastic and everything just works o well together. The one thing I would complain about is that last labyrinth... Took me a few MINUTES, ahah. I managed 2:30 - after practicing the maze! Great entry. |
| Oct 16 21:54:36 | 18m 14s | Bear's Home Repairs | ♥ 4 | I really enjoyed playing! I have a thing for cute art and violence mashed together... The little noise the bears make is cherry on top. Changing loadout is a great idea, weapon variety is nice and all have quite a nice gamefeel. Strong entry! |
| Oct 17 19:45:12 | 21h 50m | Fall Girl | ♥ 2 | This was fun! You can easily add onto it by adding levels, too. The length was just right for a quick playthrough. I like the idea and you did a good job with the implementation : controls respond well, it straightforward, and challenging enough to keep one entertained. Nice one! |
| Oct 17 20:05:29 | 20m 17s | Call me. Maybe? | ♥ 3 | I was about to leave the same feedback as the comment above regarding where the cable should be to plug it. Additionnaly, the number above the hole would be nice, so as not to cover them when plugging them. More ambiant sfx (like phone ringing, indistinct conversations...) would be a nice touch. It was a bit hard to track which call to disconnect, but I imagine that's part of the memory game :) I really enjoyed playing, it's definitely not something we see a lot of! You did a great job with this, thank you for creating it!! |
| Oct 17 20:16:41 | 11m 12s | Pandora’s Box [WebGL/Win/Touch] | ♥ 0 | Screenshot 2022-10-17 211335.png Fun little platformer! Love the addition of the collectibles, and very nice timing for each level. Would be quite fun to speedrun! Most of my deaths - if not all of them... - come from that one level with the very close platforms that demand extreme precision to jump and not bump your head :'D Music and art are cute, sfx work, gamefeel is comfortable and intuitive. Great one :) I'll probably come back to it and better my score! |
| Oct 17 20:28:43 | 12m 02s | Every 10 seconds life | ♥ 2 | The art is just fantastic. The old school vibes, and treasuring of moments... such a great idea. Thank you for making this game. It was a great little experience to go through. |
| Oct 17 20:36:05 | 7m 22s | Puzzle Clock | ♥ 1 | I really like the concept, this is really novel! Great idea for the theme. Stuck on the loop as well ahah. |
| Oct 17 20:47:53 | 11m 48s | Sally's Scribbles | ♥ 2 | This was a lot of fun! I loved the pixel art, the variety of drawings was nice, the sfx and design of characters was great, and having to reproduce the drawing in such a short time frame works really well. I am impressed with the amount of content you managed to put here. I had a bit of a hard time with the font you chose for the text, sometimes. Thanks for making your game! |
