| Oct 4 02:28:21 | Alfred, Coffee Pot [WIP] | ♥ 4 | What a vibe. I enjoyed watching the cats and bananas circling around. Really great rigging work! | |
| Oct 4 02:44:18 | 15m 57s | Hovering Bird | ♥ 1 | Love the originality! Don't think I've ever seen a card game in LD before. I played a few rounds in MS Paint and furthest I got was 16. When I originally read the rules I thought I knew what the optimal strategy was. After a few rounds, I'm not so sure. Surprising amount of strategic depth. Hope to see more tabletop games in LD, this was really neat |
| Oct 4 02:58:34 | 14m 16s | Checker Jump | ♥ 1 | Love the mood! The chess timers and the moving chimes add a lot (feels like you're in a grandfather clock hellscape). I agree with what the other commentators said about jumping; I feel the gravity is slightly too high. The really interesting part of this game for me wasn't the jumping, but looking at the board state and trying to predict what a sensible next move would be, and planning my route based on that. So if that's the goal of the game, then IMO it makes sense to make it easy for the player to execute on that (which would mean simplifying the jump execution). I love the idea of a board game where you play from the perspective of one of the pieces. Really neat entry :) |
| Oct 4 03:10:06 | 11m 32s | Impending Doom of a Thousand Kitties | ♥ 3 | Adorable art! I think I got carpal syndrome from trying to feed my 20 kitties. Love the animations of picking them up. This reminds me a lot of the (super ancient) cat games by GIGA-RENSYA ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTpTzrKd8jg ) and Louie Zong's games ( https://everydaylouie.itch.io/cat-dance ) Interesting seeing Bosca Ceoil being used! How was your experience with it? |
| Oct 4 03:43:16 | 33m 10s | ASCII Arena | ♥ 1 | Really great audio! I'm not sure if the audio is synced to level transitions or not, but it felt that way. Loved the screen shake and the dots on the ground that would light up, lots of little details that add up to feel really cohesive and juicy. A small addition I'd like is a graphical/sound cue when an enemy dies (especially offscreen). When you're against the clock it saves you from having to double back to check. Additionally, I wonder how hitscan bullets (yours, not the enemies') would feel. Fun game! |
| Oct 4 03:51:43 | 8m 27s | GRABOUL | ♥ 4 | Great jam entry! I could see this being a really fun multiplayer game with a few additions. Very cool concept and execution and I like the trailer a lot! |
| Oct 4 04:01:27 | 9m 44s | Artillery Strike Simulator | ♥ 2 | That was really powerful. I wish you the best in Ukraine and I am sorry that you have to experience the worst that humanity has to offer. Glory to Ukraine |
| Oct 4 05:07:44 | 1h 06m | 10-Second Mechanism | ♥ 2 | Really nice puzzle game! Managed to reach the end. An interesting twist on Sokoban. The mood and graphics are really top-notch. |
| Oct 4 06:25:40 | 1h 17m | SheepControl | ♥ 1 | Really beautiful art and sound design that go well together! Also you reminded me of this super old game that I had to reach really far into the memory palace for ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SP058CHQj20 ). Well done! |
| Oct 4 06:39:21 | 13m 41s | Ten Secs To Pack! | ♥ 3 | This game brought me great joy. At some point I just stopped packing so I could play with all the stuff that filled the room. Awesome work! |
| Oct 4 07:24:15 | 44m 54s | Headcount | ♥ 1 | A trick I learned from drumming is counting the middle beats (out loud!) to help with timing. E.g. 10 2 3 4 9 2 3 4 8 2 3 4 7 2 3 4 ... With all that said I still sucked at this game (got to 9). But that was fun :) |
| Oct 4 07:32:50 | 8m 35s | Tower of Time 2 | ♥ 2 | Wonderful art and I like the concept! Agreed with the commenters above, some QoL on the platforming would add a lot here (especially coyote time (although you mentioned you had tried implementing that), and maybe making it so you "glide" along the ceiling if you hit your head as opposed to just stopping). Particle effects looked super nice and all in all just a really polished experience. I got stuck on this level, and I must be missing something because it doesn't look winnable to me. level.png |
| Oct 8 03:52:57 | 92h 20m | Dr. Word's Machine | ♥ 2 | Wow, one of the coolest games I've played in living memory. So clever and innovative. I found some of the interactions a little confusing but not unfair. Wow, I really really liked this. Awesome job! |
