Oct 3 23:42:12 10 second torch ♥ 1 This was so unexpectedly spooky haha! Those grunting noises as you get chased really make you anxiously look at the timer and try to find the next torch. Good job!
Oct 3 23:47:35 5m 23s Come Shell or High Water ♥ 3 Hahaha this is hilarious. You made that song yourself? Such a lovely touch to fit the funny mood. Really impressed, not many jam games get an actual OST πŸ˜‚ 😍 Game is fun, I like the switching of land/water and how it effects the fish visually as well as mechanically, a cool use of the theme! Keep on crabbin
Oct 3 23:50:32 2m 57s Destroy Blocks ♥ 1 Fun stuff, mechanically sound and really satisfying to get everything lined up properly! Really well done. Could be a really relaxing game with a serene soundtrack and some nice bouncy juice
Oct 3 23:54:06 3m 34s 3 minutes in hell ♥ 1 Damn this was really hard, and super impressed this is a compo as well because its so polished! I really especially like the upgrade / pickup system and how you have to risk death to choose to stand on a certain upgrade. Very cool
Oct 4 11:38:16 11h 44m Acid Rain ♥ 1 Haha I love the text conversation! Really fun. A good use of the theme, and the consumable power up mechanic that takes time to use is a very smart idea.
Oct 4 12:58:11 1h 19m A Space Polka in Ten Parts ♥ 1 Very cool, lovely overcooked style game with a good use of the theme! Gets pretty tense :D Good job
Oct 4 13:03:15 5m 04s The Curse of the Four Towers ♥ 0 Fun and challenging, the sprays from the tower were super hard to dodge but it felt satisfying. Love the grungy pixelated effects. Good job!
Oct 4 16:29:37 3h 26m 10 Snekonds ♥ 2 So fantastic, I THINK I got to the last wave but then I had so many evil little turrets running around I was doomed 😭 So much fun, a real blast to play. And a great take on making tense situations from the theme, despite the relaxing music! Very addictive.
Oct 4 16:42:25 12m 48s CHAOS CONDUCTOR ♥ 1 1847 feet! Crikey, good fun and a lot of chaos as advertised haha. The shooting is fun, would have liked a bit more juice but it was really good. Having to keep an eye out for enemies attacking the train was good.
Oct 4 18:40:47 1h 58m Bless the Last Ones ♥ 1 This was fantastic. I played it about 5-6 times to try and get the most story out of it that I could. So much lovely and hilarious narrative hid in these people!
Oct 4 21:36:31 2h 55m Silvi ♥ 1 This was so polished and so zen I could happily play it for hours. Love the art style, and the gentle thoughtful premise. Great job!
Oct 4 21:40:08 3m 37s Lucky Lefty Lost In A Labyrinth ♥ 2 Interesting puzzle game, I didn't understand what to do at first but then it clicked and I really enjoyed figuring out the path to take. Love a good snail!
Oct 4 23:06:23 1h 26m Thornscatter ♥ 1 Really great theme and mood as others have said, love the vibes. The animation on the vines is fantastic too, I love watching them grow in even after I die haha. Great job!
Oct 4 23:13:36 7m 13s Call It A Day ♥ 2 Beautiful art, interesting concept and a fantastic soundtrack! The music switching between night and day was a great touch, really well executed.
Oct 4 23:23:43 10m 07s Jekyll and Hide ♥ 1 Very strong idea for the theme! The uncontrollable burst every 10 seconds is a take that a few people have done, but this does it so well and with such a great narrative choice for explaining the chaos. I loved how it was a puzzle game as well as a stealthy strategy game too. Great job!
Oct 4 23:26:51 3m 08s Birdwatching ♥ 2 Ooh well I definitely learned a lot about birds! Who knew there was a bird who's wings excreted wax? πŸ‘€ Great art, solid mechanic (I love typing games) and well put together and polished! Great job
Oct 4 23:29:47 2m 56s New Edition - A Publishing Adventure ♥ 1 Haha I love 'the Leadership party' πŸ˜‚ Well written and very funny, and a fun and definitely unique main mechanic for a overall unique take on the theme! I'm not sure I'll quit my job to become a journalist, but this gave me the experience all the same ;)
Oct 4 23:35:13 5m 26s Cure Casimir ♥ 1 Casamir is both cute and terrifying πŸ˜‚ I love his human teeth πŸ‘€ And a cute sneeze! I think the early levels might need to space the pickups further apart to add a bit of challenge. But a good entry, well done!
Oct 4 23:40:16 5m 03s Gagaku ♥ 2 Fun and thoughtful game! The construction mechanic is verrrry interesting, I liked building patterns of constructions that fed into eachother πŸ‘€ Really interesting take on the theme!
Oct 4 23:49:26 9m 10s Room Again ♥ 3 Art, music, concept, all great! Like an escape room mixed with groundhog day, I love it. The duplicated item mechanic is a neat twist that makes you think tactically. Great job!
Oct 5 10:50:12 11h 00m Slime Can Fly ♥ 1 I like the idea of a short level based platformer like this! It would be good with a bunch of levels and leaderboards. I did feel like the acceleration curve could be a little steeper but the challenge was nice!
Oct 5 11:02:36 12m 24s Arcade Station ♥ 1 This was really great! Love the setting and the idea! Would 100% play a more complete version of this with greater variety of building and events. Would be really cool to see people moving around the station and having building give you feedback as to what they are providing/using on the stats. Could also possibly have people visually arriving (on space ships/space ladders from earth) so you can plan for population increases accordingly.
Oct 5 11:05:59 3m 23s TOOT TOOT ♥ 1 I like to TOOT! Good game no notes :D
Oct 5 11:12:25 6m 26s You Fix Spaceships! ♥ 1 Great idea and lovely excecution for a jam game! Really enjoyed the mood of the game and would 100% play more of this. I think the text could maybe be a little faster! Loved the diagetic UI it was really cool!
Oct 5 11:16:34 4m 09s Alapai ♥ 1 I liked the style of the game! It was nice to start out without too much challenge or risk, I felt I understood the mechanics well enough by the time the game started to get challenging which is impressive to achieve in such a short period of time!
Oct 5 14:13:39 2h 57m Exp10sion ♥ 1 That was cool! I love the character and the idea! Would be nice if you could manually explode to get faster times!
Oct 5 14:21:40 8m 01s Zombie Rush 3: Escalation ♥ 3 This was ace! Loved the music changes with weapon was really nice to help understand what was going on! Also the general game feel was great and leaderboards for a jam were a nice touch!
Oct 5 17:17:48 2h 56m Endless Loop ♥ 2 Good fun, and the relaxing audio design makes it easier and less frustrating when you get teleported back! Love a good color-key-door puzzle :D Great job!
Oct 5 17:25:33 7m 45s Headcount ♥ 0 Got to 11 after being surprised it went past 10 haha, I thought I'd won! Really simple concept made fantastic by polished audio design and CLEAN interface design. Great job on this little experience!
Oct 5 17:30:14 4m 41s Rockatoo ♥ 0 Interesting mechanic with the poses, adds some good fun to the base rhythm game which is also mighty impressive to have done for a compo game, the rhythm timing is done perfectly! Good job
Oct 5 17:37:21 7m 07s Sasha Jump ♥ 1 Graphics and such are fantastic! Really cool take on the theme too, great job. Very impressive to get this all together as a solo dev!
Oct 5 18:01:45 24m 24s Cult Of the Π‘elestial Knight ♥ 4 Absolutely phenominal artwork, really impressive. I love the sound design too of the little enemy jumpscares haha. The battle was a bit confusing at first but then I understood it after a couple of goes. Good job!
Oct 5 18:04:30 2m 45s Teck Tronix ♥ 3 Felt like a mix of a rhythm game and a card battler which was fun. Sound design is good and the art is great, gameplay confused me a bit at first because I didn't read the rules first (my bad) and then I got it! Good job all around
Oct 5 18:07:40 3m 10s Impending Doom of a Thousand Kitties ♥ 2 There definitely was a lot of cats! Very cute artwork and sound, and I like the idea of herding this giant group of thousands of cats! As others have said, would have liked to see an indicator of how fed each cat is, but overall cool game!
Oct 5 18:10:30 2m 50s RETROFUTURECATS : Admeownistrators of Hell ♥ 0 For the name pun and the nail chairs, I love it πŸ˜‚ Really love the cool paint textures on all the surfaces as well, felt abstract and interesting aesthetic-wise.
Oct 5 18:25:36 15m 06s Cat That Steals Stuff and Gets in Trouble ♥ 3 Haha such an amazing little stealth game! I love the cute little sneezes too when you're hiding 😭 So cute! Really good looking game, I'm a big fan of scanlines aesthetics too and it went well with the security camera vibe too ;) Great job!
Oct 5 21:49:26 3h 23m Spaceship Parking Simulator ♥ 1 Highscore of 70! Really actually super fun landing mechanics, I love games where you can gently tweak your acceleration as it felt very 'space-like'. From one space game to another, really good job!
Oct 6 10:33:09 12h 43m One Hell Of A Time ♥ 1 Very fun! The particles and boss were really cool! I was a little confused about the UI at the start but other than that it was great!
Oct 6 10:40:34 7m 25s Cosmic Crashers ♥ 2 This is really impressive for the time limit! Game was brutal but in a good way :D I like the loop of pushing to see how far out you can get before returning to base, sfx and vfx were good and had good game feel! The idea was actually quite similar to our game! Nice to see how you excecuted certain things differently I'll be making notes ;)!
Oct 6 12:07:20 1h 26m DecaDare ♥ 3 Haha, this was a fantastic little jaunt! The minigames were funny and I really really hated that seagull for stealing my pasty >:( Great visual / audio design too, great job all around!
Oct 6 20:38:13 8h 30m PULSAR ♥ 6 Amazing achievement for a jam game! Impressive how many people managed to collaborate in a small space of time! Game was great, loved the art and would play more for sure!
Oct 6 20:45:53 7m 40s Junkyard Space Race ♥ 1 This was awesome, what a great spin on simulation management games! The art was awesome! I was a little confused by what to do at the start of the game but got really sucked in after a little while and ended up playing for ages! Could imagine this being a full game, adding in things like piolets with their own funny quirks!
Oct 7 19:46:42 23h 00m To Catch a Wizard ♥ 1 9 mins, im ashamed to say πŸ˜‚ Really good fun, and the rewind mechanic was a great idea that made really good use of a small level space for replayability. Love how well planned out the sequence of unlocks are to make you feel like you're making good progress and always know where to go. Great job!
Oct 7 20:10:55 24m 13s EPOCH ♥ 2 Woah this is soooo polished! I absolutely adore the retro hacker aesthetic and the idea of the shifting maze of bugs. Good fun, although I got tracked quite a few times for 3-4 refreshes in a row πŸ˜“ Super impressed you made this in the time given, really good job!
Oct 7 20:45:58 35m 03s Decrypt ♥ 2 Hahah for some reason, I love scrambled word puzzles even though I am terrible at them... The dragging UI felt a bit off for me and made it quite hard to move letters under pressure, but otherwise everything was very well polished and put together, and a good use of the theme. Good job!
Oct 8 10:57:38 14h 11m The Curse of Tencond ♥ 1 Haha, fantastic humor, fantastic visuals and audio, fantastic take on the theme. I love games where you discover bit by bit all of the things you could already do, and such a nice use of a small area but keeping the exploration fresh. Great job!
Oct 8 11:05:42 8m 04s Spooky Doctor ♥ 1 Super impressed at how polished and good looking this game is, as only one dev too? Fantastic! Good gameplay and having a working tutorial is very impressive for a gamejam. The gameplay was simple at first but grew in complexity and fun and fleshed out nicely.
