| Oct 4 15:36:42 | Swapwood Quest R | ♥ 1 | When you need to save the world, but your only tool is bubble sort 😂 | |
| Oct 5 17:45:46 | 26h 09m | Choo Choo Crossing | ♥ 2 | Woah, amazingly done entry! I really loved the character designs - they were simple but conveyed a lot of personality. And the sound design was excellent, I loved the way it integrated with the credits. OH! and also major props to any team that has time to implement onboarding for their jam game. The only thing I can think of that I would've liked is if there was some sort of display to let you know how much of the day is left. Towards the middle, I wasn't sure if the game was endless or if I had something I was working towards - but once the message told me the sun was setting I kept going until the end. Other than that, super solid entry! Also throwing passengers around felt great 😄 *(I may have thrown several of the red guys into the river out of frustration)* |
| Oct 5 18:11:24 | 25m 38s | Just Roll With It! | ♥ 2 | I'm a simple man, I see a cel shaded rollerblade game and I hit play. Incredible amount of polish here, I love the character design and the animations are amazing too. I loved *almost* everything about this entry. The thing I didn't like is that I found it a bit too unforgiving, kept both running out of hearts way too fast or falling off because I clipped through the rail. I got quite good at the first level with the bumpers, but couldn't work out how to get to the very highest platform and so didn't get enough gems to complete any of the levels past the tutorial. If there was a mode with more hearts, I would love to give it a longer go! ...even with that aside, this is such a good game - I'll probably wake up tomorrow and feel compelled to give it another go 😄 |
| Oct 7 19:59:24 | 49h 48m | Cowboy vs Tumbleweeds | ♥ 2 | Those are some aggressive tumbleweeds! It reminds me of this movie called Rubber where a homicidal car tyre chases people down and murders them 😂 I found it quite relaxing to run around the desert, never shooting anything, just trying to collect as many chests as possible. ...that was until I turned around after a minute or two of just gliding in one direction 😱 tumbleweeds.png |
| Oct 8 14:24:49 | 18h 25m | Best LD Game Ever! | ♥ 1 | I think like some of the other players, I saw the thumbnail and thought it would be a joke entry, but glad to see I was wrong! 😄 Not that this isn't funny, because the humour is great, but it's a well-made entry with more depth than might seem on the surface :) |
| Oct 8 14:33:22 | 8m 33s | Spaceship Parking Simulator | ♥ 1 | Managed to get a high score of 100 on my second attempt! My first try I crashed on my second landing... I like the way that you kinda have to aim at a moon, then flip-and-burn to cancel out the velocity, it reminded me of when they do that in The Expanse, so in my head that's what was happening every time I flipped around 😄 |
| Oct 8 15:18:15 | 44m 53s | DIMENSION LOOP 2 | ♥ 1 | One of the juciest games I've played this jam! Lots of polish, although I'm inclined to agree with the above commenter that the red box made the game less fun. The dynamic music was a great addition - also, I love the creativity of making a sequel to a previous jam with a different theme, while matching the new theme too 😄 ➿️ |
| Oct 8 17:16:52 | 1h 58m | Garden Grind | ♥ 0 | I liked this one a lot, was surprisingly chill despite the constant timer - but I think this is an example of an entry that really used the theme to make the game more interesting. I also really liked that at the outset you picked a match time, so you know exactly how long you're going to spend playing this game, massively appreciated! The only thing I didn't really like was that the score was how much money you happened to have at the end of the game. I think I would've preferred if it was how much money you made overall, otherwise it seems like the best strategy is to stop playing towards the end, rather than speed up and try and make the most of the time. |
| Oct 8 17:32:35 | 15m 43s | WindBots | ♥ 3 | This was super cute and well designed! My only real complaint is that there wasn't more of it, so much charm and potential here! ^_^ |
