Oct 3 03:30:10		Raiding By Myself	♥ 1	Fun game! Really great use of a replay feature. Wouldn't mind having restart level on a keypress, but otherwise no complaints!
Oct 3 03:41:31	11m 21s	Turnip Terrace	♥ 0	Lovely and charming game! The nostalgic art and sound take me back. The tutorial made me a little nervous it would be complex, but the game turned out simple and fun to play. I think instead of day counter that counts up, it would be nice to have a counter that counts down to the final day.
Oct 3 03:54:51	13m 20s	Crazy Beat Switcher	♥ 1	Nice, using proc gen music. I like the tempo switching as a use of theme. I found that the prompts didn't matter, I could just tap all the directions at once with seemingly no penalty as long as I was on time 😉
Oct 3 04:46:58	52m 07s	Parcel Problems.	♥ 2	Funny game! I am glad this isn't my real job. At one point I thought I was doing ok as my vision cleared, but then I still got fired moments later. I guess that's a mood too.
Oct 3 04:59:26	12m 28s	Ten To Zero	♥ 0	I think I got the good end. You're welcome. I enjoyed it.
Oct 3 05:31:33	32m 07s	The Landfill	♥ 1	Ah, i had a hard time at first until I remembered my ABCs. "Always Be Cocktailing". Once I learned to hold the left mouse down instead of trying to be to strategic I had better luck. Still no good end though... Quite a nice game and those chain reactions are satisfying!
Oct 3 05:58:03	26m 30s	GameWhereYouRunAndShootThings	♥ 1	I thought at first, well this is easy I can just avoid the bowling balls. Then I turned around. 😂 Was their audio and I had a bug? I didn't rate it since I heard nothing, maybe opt out! I would have liked for the pistol to auto reload when empty for a smoother gameplay experience.
Oct 3 06:11:22	13m 19s	DUNGEON I/O	♥ 1	I thought I would never be able to do it, but eventually my brain worked and I was able to solve the equations.
Oct 3 06:22:52	11m 30s	Jumprope	♥ 1	what if buddy's legs got more big as they jump more rope
Oct 3 07:05:43	42m 51s	Time Warp	♥ 1	Amazing level of polish and amount of content! Nice work!.
Oct 4 02:03:32	18h 57m	Chertilo: Infernal Creature	♥ 2	I was an infernal creature and they stood no chance against me. I noticed that sometimes I got the same upgrade offered, just one would be a different amount. Like one card would be Size + 10% and the other would be Size + 15% for the same spell, this made those level ups a bit disappointing as there was only one real option.
Oct 4 03:12:09	1h 08m	Time To Go	♥ 2	I like the speed of the characters. Having 10 seconds with each character was a fine use of the theme. I think being forced back to the entire beginning of the game after missing one jump is a little too brutal though.
Oct 4 05:42:40	2h 30m	Moo Moo Care	♥ 1	Wonderful game! I was able to retire. Wish it was so easy in real life. Sigh. One thing I noticed is that I didn't really have to plant grass or make fences. I kinda haphazardly placed these down. Mostly because I kept getting the buttons mixed up so I'd place grass when I mean to place a fence. I blame Pico 8 for its button icon choices.
Oct 4 09:41:13	3h 58m	DiscoTech	♥ 3	Really nice audio! I liked how each selection added its own part to the music. Very nicely done. I had some trouble with the collision on the character and found it hard to accurately know where exactly it was, I think a more noticeable shadow at the character's feet or more well defined feet to ground it would help.
Oct 4 09:47:04	5m 51s	Balloon Time	♥ 1	Cute but brutal! One mistake and its the end. I enjoyed how the clock arm played in to the game, it actually does affect how you've got to play as it circles around. I'd have liked some sort of recovery mechanic, maybe a very timing based way to catch more of a bounce from the balloons, just to have a way to recover from small mistakes.
Oct 4 16:30:16	6h 43m	Rayna Runs	♥ 1	I forgot about the theme at first and was getting frustrated. Then I realized that 10 seconds passes and the floor turns to lava for 10 seconds before returning to grass 😅 I think having coyote time would help with the platforming, to give it a little better game feel when jumping last second. I found it frustrating that I couldn't jump onto platforms when starting the jump too close, I'd bounce off them or not be able to get on the platform for some reason. The camera lagged behind too much, I would much prefer being able to control it myself. For a first try at third person it's not too bad! Reminiscent of early third person action games.
Oct 5 02:04:33	9h 34m	Neon Speed Gauntlet	♥ 1	I like the optional gems as an extra layer of challenge that the player can choose to engage with or skip. I instinctually tried to skip the game over screen by pressing escape but that closed the game entirely and I lost my progress.
Oct 5 02:18:39	14m 06s	Graveyard Scramble	♥ 2	Nice spoopy month mood. Game is tougher than at first glance. The 10 second shot timer really starts to hurt once there are many mobs. Going 10 minutes is a pretty brutal ask. I could get to almost 3 before my earlier mistakes in kiting came back to haunt me.
Oct 5 02:39:47	21m 08s	RADARE	♥ 1	Very nice action game. I found the day/night shift a really innovative way to implement the theme. Web build worked great for me. Out of curiosity, what toolchain did you use to convert from love to web?
Oct 5 05:47:15	3h 07m	Just One More	♥ 2	I like the speed of this game. The movement is quite fast, and there is no friction between deaths, just quickly get back into the game. I found myself jumping to death whenever i'd get an ability I had already completed the challenge with. Kinda dark.
Oct 6 05:47:50	24h 00m	MAGIC-281: Intro to Alchemy	♥ 2	Worth it just for the fun lecture!
Oct 7 02:04:09	20h 16m	Dichotomy	♥ 1	Really nice presentation and chill music vibes. I like the switching between sandbox and real world. Eventually the 10 second theme gets to be a drag though. Maybe I just need to learn to be more patient.
Oct 8 03:23:06	25h 18m	Nuclear Descent	♥ 1	I liked the underwater exploration and the progression from being short of breath to being able to stay out for longer and longer each time. The most difficult part I found was trying to swim back up through some of the floor cutouts. I think this was due to the turning radius of the character while swimming, if I was off and missed it I couldn't just easily circle back around, instead needed to back way up and aim like I was landing a plane. I found a blue key looking thing but it didn't seem to do anything and I couldn't figure out how to pick it up. Overall though I found it pretty engaging and I achieved victory in the end!
Oct 8 03:37:47	14m 41s	Bills to Pay	♥ 1	I saved Billy. Fun little grind game, I liked it! One thing of note, character movement was sluggish when tilting the left stick diagonally.
Oct 8 21:02:15	17h 24m	Hamster Defense	♥ 1	I had a lot of fun with this. Everything felt odd and a little glitchy which I really liked. It took several plays to start to understand some of the game. The music is just great, I like the snes era sounding instruments and the arrangement was both playful and unnerving. Something about having to die to win the game also just made me smile.
Oct 11 06:20:22	57h 18m	Artifact Control	♥ 1	Not really a huge fan of rts these days, but I enjoyed this super fast and stripped down version! The artifact effects made a big difference to how I played. My winning strategies tended to be to keep building and hoarding units until the artifact was in my favor, then attack the circle. I needed a good mix, with a few ranged and hoards of rats to frontline. I also liked seeing all the details in the bases, like the stairs down in the enemy base. Could there be a whole dungeon down there? Fun to imagine.
Oct 11 07:19:20	58m 58s	Rock the Rule	♥ 1	I like the uplifting feel of the text. "Hi bro" and "Cheer up!" and "Believe in yourself!" It's nice to read these kinds of messages at a time I was not expecting them. The little world you've made here is fun to look at as the monsters move around. The game was very easy, and I don't have a problem with that at all. I think could add bonus endings for having more and more oil at the end. Another idea is to have new game+ where more oil is needed to launch the rocket.
Oct 11 07:37:57	18m 37s	Pipe Nightmare	♥ 1	I think it's fun as a sandbox with no losing state. It was fun to just click around the parts and connect them. Maybe there is an idea for something there. I actually think the stress of trying to solve it with a time pressure would be a nightmare... in fact the original Pipe dream game should be called Pipe Nightmare and this one should be called Pipe Dream 🤡 I also dug the chill vibe of the music, and the low fi grit of the sound effects. I felt it captured the spirit of windows 95 days. I took a look at esper, it looks interesting, might have to try it out.
Oct 11 08:02:19	24m 22s	Sun's out Buns out	♥ 2	I knew it. Bunnies are pure evil. Their art is cute though. I appreciate that I could carry both rocks and water. I don't know why I didn't think to try this in my first play. The way the game has 2 alternating phases is really nice. I think a less difficult version of this would be really fun for kids, obviously the tyranny of this 10 second theme makes it hard to do that right now.
Oct 12 02:10:28	18h 08m	Quick to Judge	♥ 1	The 10 second time limit and ever growing list of special cases added to the laws just made for a truly horrifying world. The job was impossible for me! Very excellent idea, and the mood is truly scary to think about. I was actually relieved to be fired though for a only a moment 😅 Despite the rush and struggles, I think you made something pretty innovative and unique! Nice work.
Oct 13 12:41:23	34h 30m	That Which Catches Your Eye	♥ 1	Interesting story. I like the art style as well. Also accidentally restarted thinking the button would repeat the current segment. I was a little disappointed when I found that each hidden object section was the same scene, but it's a short timeframe for dev so I get it. Glad you were able to differentiate them by having a different type of signal for the objects in each section. Music is great, love the vocals and the chop at just the right times.
