| Oct 3 20:47:03 | Pandora’s Box [WebGL/Win/Touch] | ♥ 1 | This was quite fun. Nice progression of difficulty. The controls were maybe a bit slippery. The thumbnail artwork of the girl is beautiful. | |
| Oct 3 20:55:02 | 7m 59s | Teen Detective Allegra Gumshoe in Temporal Troubles!!! | ♥ 2 | I like the artwork a lot. The 10 second countdown, as it is implemented here, doesn't lend itself well to this genre of game, unfortunately. Even when slowing down the time, the countdown just comes in the way of me wanting to read and enjoy the dialogue (which is quite good). |
| Oct 3 21:11:13 | 16m 11s | Oasis Escape | ♥ 1 | Not bad at all for a first jam. The gameplay is quite fun and engaging, even if the controls and camera are a bit slippery, and the game is a somewhat unforgiving, at least in the beginning. Usually you want a game to be easier at the beginning, and gradually become more difficult (instead of the opposite) As a point of constructive criticism, I would suggest always keeping these things (controls/feel and progression) in mind whenever designing a game. I did enjoy it however, really good job. Really hope to see you making games in the future! By the way, will we get a face reveal of the alien? |
| Oct 3 21:15:17 | 4m 04s | just got mutiny'd (so I'm making sick jumps and posting about it) | ♥ 2 | I like the look of the game (the bird/kite thing is a legitimately cool design). Controls are a bit unintuitive, unfortunately I didn't get very far. But when I got it to happen, jumping from the ramps felt very satisfying. |
| Oct 3 21:21:14 | 5m 57s | You Have a Call | ♥ 1 | This is a clever take on the theme. The dialogue is a bit long-winded, a lot of the lines could be condensed into something more concise. It also makes it easier to keep up with the flow of the game (especially since you're on a timer and don't have time to spend reading everything). Also, swearing for the sake of swearing kind of brings down the dialogue for me. But maybe that's just me. Graphics are really appealing. |
| Oct 3 21:37:50 | 16m 36s | 10 seconds love | ♥ 0 | Don't want to be that guy, but the font isn't very readable. This is a really unique take on the theme, however. I like that. Good luck with the girl, I hope she appreciates it! |
| Oct 4 16:04:55 | 18h 27m | Tones of Singularity | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, it's like Simon Says but a platformer. Controls/camera were a bit finicky, and it's difficult enough to both find the sequence, find your way to the next letter without falling AND avoiding touching the wrong letter. If these things were addressed, it would probably be a quite enjoyable game. Also I like the design of the character. Overall, good job! |
| Oct 4 16:08:43 | 3m 48s | VÖLUSPÁ : Twilight of the Gods | ♥ 3 | I really like the idea of a turn-based RPG where you attack by solving puzzles. However, I feel like these were a bit too difficult to solve under just 10 seconds! Maybe it's just me though. Nice artwork. |
| Oct 4 16:14:24 | 5m 41s | Puzzle Meme | ♥ 1 | Who made the music? It's lovely! This was a relaxing and enjoyable, if not very simple game. I'm not the biggest fan of incorporating internet memes in you original work, although I have to admit they made me laugh, especially in this context. And I suppose it's a good compromise if you don't have time to draw a lot of artwork. Overall, good job! I quite liked it. :D |
| Oct 4 16:27:44 | 13m 20s | Decachronomorphia | ♥ 5 | I like the idea of a game where your abilities keep changing. I feel like this game was a bit too difficult/unforgiving, and that the game is a bit unclear on the objective. Am I supposed to explore, or kill every enemy? I also like the characters and their characterization, not to mention their designs. Overall, good job. I think this game holds a lot of potential, but suffers from a lack of polish (which is unavoidable in a game jam). |
| Oct 4 16:48:23 | 20m 39s | Stormlight Manor | ♥ 2 | This was cool, though I feel like the only challenge comes from waiting for the light to flicker, which isn't the most fun gameplay mechanic. On the other hand, it challenges you to remember the layout of the map, which would be an interesting mechanic and work better if the map wasn't so big. Also, I feel like the doors are a bit too small. The goal should be more obvious, and I missed it during my first playthrough. Nice job overall. |
| Oct 4 16:53:56 | 5m 33s | CONJR Rapid Text-to-Image | ♥ 1 | This is really creative and well put together. My only criticism is that the 10 second limit feels kind of tacked on; it doesn't really serve any purpose other than rushing the player. |
| Oct 4 17:00:18 | 6m 22s | Dragon Breeder | ♥ 1 | This is really good. The graphics are really cool, it looks like one of those old atmospheric point and click games. The gameplay is engaging and fun, and the music is quite good as well. I don't really have a complaint, this is a very solid entry. |
| Oct 4 17:06:40 | 6m 22s | Love is Legal: Speed Dating For Criminals | ♥ 2 | This was cute, I very much like the designs and the concept. It was quite engaging to play as well. |
| Oct 4 17:37:01 | 30m 21s | Paper Summoner | ♥ 3 | This has to be my favorite game so far. As a Paper Mario fan, you have no idea how happy this makes me. The game, character design and animations are beautiful. The battle system is actually really fun and engaging, I like the combination of turn-based + bullet hell + shmup + DDR. You're mixing and matching a lot of mechanics at once but it all works together really well. The sound design is really good also. And I really liked the battle theme, it's well composed and catchy. I do think it would sound even more amazing if you got your hands on better sounding samples, even a decent soundfont would do. I would encourage you to turn this into a full game, or at leash a post jam version. |
| Oct 4 17:47:00 | 9m 59s | Discomobulate (ง'̀-'́)ง | ♥ 1 | This is really unique and well made. The gameplay got me a bit confused at first, it took me a while to understand it. If you make a post jam version (which you should, I think a game like this would be well received), you should definitely focus on a good tutorial. Great job. |
| Oct 4 17:51:11 | 4m 11s | Glitch Quest | ♥ 1 | Hahah, this was quite the experience. Not sure if I found everything I could, but it was quite engaging. |
| Oct 4 17:57:21 | 6m 10s | Coffee Rush | ♥ 2 | This was well done and interesting, although I did get stuck pretty early on. |
| Oct 4 18:21:02 | 23m 41s | Water Drop | ♥ 1 | Interesting game, it's strangely atmospheric. Would have liked a clearer description of the objective. |
| Oct 4 18:24:40 | 3m 38s | Night At The Orphanarium | ♥ 3 | Really solid entry. Love the graphics and artstyle. Good job on the music as well. |
| Oct 4 18:37:33 | 12m 53s | Fast Food In10sifies | ♥ 1 | This looks and plays really well. Granted, the game gets repetitive pretty quickly, but it's super polished for a game jam game. Really solid entry. |
| Oct 5 17:17:14 | 22h 39m | StrayaCraft | ♥ 2 | This was quite unique. Controls were a bit unintuitive, and weren't easy to find. I would have preferred if the game told you the controls instead of them being buried in the description. I enjoyed the faces you've drawn... Would love to know more about these characters. And the music was quite good as well (if not a bit loud and abrasive). Good job! |
| Oct 5 17:25:26 | 8m 12s | A Space Polka in Ten Parts | ♥ 0 | Very nice. This was actually quite fun, and well made overall. The gameplay loop is engaging, and the music is well composed and fun (it reminds me of the soundtrack to The Neverhood), although I'm not quite sure if it fits the game. Anyway, good job! |
| Oct 5 17:40:35 | 15m 09s | Lock Up | ♥ 1 | The artwork is pretty strong, you have a good eye for composition. I can't say the story really gripped me, I couldn't really make sense of it. Really nice mood though. |
| Oct 5 17:54:55 | 14m 20s | Bygone Melodies | ♥ 1 | Game jam games don't get much better than this. It goes without saying, but the artwork is fantastic and extremely charming (it reminds me a bit of the game Later Alligator). I sincerely hope you turn this into a full game, where you expand on the mechanics. |
| Oct 5 18:19:58 | 25m 03s | A Quick Bunny Affair 🥕 | ♥ 4 | This game looks, sounds and play amazing. Don't really have any complaints. I like the gimmick of the changing seasons, very nice take on the theme. |
| Oct 5 18:24:54 | 4m 56s | 10-Second Magic Artist | ♥ 0 | This is a fun little application. Obviously generative AIs are nothing new at this point, but you packaged and presented it really well. I like the idea of a prompt-based AI art generator. Really nice job! |
| Oct 5 18:28:17 | 3m 23s | Piggy's adventure | ♥ 4 | He's dead, and it's my fault. |
| Oct 7 09:40:28 | 39h 12m | Home R.I.P.airs | ♥ 1 | I quite liked this. First off, the artstyle is wonderful. The gameplay is simple, but engaging enough to keep you on you toes. The lack of music is a minus. Understandably, maybe you didn't have time to write a song (or access to composers), but even using a royalte free track would have made a lot of difference in terms of mood. Overall, really nice game. I hope you keep making them! |
| Oct 8 13:29:27 | 27h 48m | Impending Doom of a Thousand Kitties | ♥ 2 | Game is cute, but became redundant pretty quickly. It's a neat little idea for a jam though. I like the meowing sound effect. :D Good job! |
| Oct 8 13:34:38 | 5m 11s | 110% | ♥ 1 | This is excellent, I legitimately had fun with this. Presentation is great (i.e. the "juiciness" of the animations work well and are nicely implemented). I wish to see more jam games that revolve around a single boss fight. As a point of criticism, both the sound effects and the music is kind of loud and abrasive, it gets annoying after a while. |
| Oct 8 13:42:09 | 7m 31s | Speed Dating Fantasy | ♥ 1 | This is really bizarre and unique, I really like this concept. I would really enjoy a more polished version of this game. Good job, thinking outside of the box. |
| Oct 8 13:47:23 | 5m 14s | Dolores To Donuts | ♥ 1 | Is there any fullscreen support? I can barely see anything! I like the artstyle a lot, the girl is really cute. Sound effects are a bit abrasive. The gameplay idea is novel and engaging, but takes some time getting used to. Overall, great job. |
| Oct 8 15:02:55 | 1h 15m | Every 10 seconds life | ♥ 3 | This was cool, I enjoyed the combination of minigames and narrative (even if some games took a couple of tries to figure out). Even though I like the script, I don't feel like it went far enough. Nothing in the dialogue or events really surprised me. The visuals are nice, they really set the mood. Also, I suggest using royalty free music if you don't have access to a sound person. It does a lot to set the mood, which would have elevated a game such as this. |
| Oct 8 15:10:15 | 7m 20s | Rockatoo | ♥ 0 | Fantastic entry. Artwork is charming and competent, and the game plays flawlessly and feels great, especially for a rhythm game which I guess isn't the easiest type of game to implement. Music was good as well (although I feel like it didn't go hard enough). Overall, one of the better entries this jam. Great job! |
| Oct 8 15:25:46 | 15m 31s | Cult Of the Сelestial Knight | ♥ 1 | Love the artstyle and the designs, they're really cool. Didn't get too far unfortunately, the gameplay wasn't super intuitive and restarting became too much of a chore after a while. Also, the lack of music brings down the mood a bit (a tip is to use a royalty free track if you don't have access to a composer). Great job however, this is a really cool game if not a bit unpolished. |
| Oct 8 16:29:23 | 1h 03m | Tenjutsu | ♥ 1 | This is insane. It looks and play fantastic, the gameplay is genuinely fun and the escalation of difficulty is wery well thought out. It almost feels like a Souls game in terms of the combat and the challenge it presents. I have one point of criticism: the sound design is pretty grating, collecting skulls hurts my ears :D And it's a shame that a game of this caliber doesn't have any music. Using a royalty free track would have enhanced this game even more. The only thing a "post jam version" needs is a kick ass track and better sound design. |
| Oct 8 18:59:34 | 2h 30m | CATS AND COFFEE | ♥ 2 | Fantastic pixel-art |
| Oct 8 19:03:59 | 4m 25s | 📺 You Call The Shots! | ♥ 1 | This is seriously creative, and the first game so far to make me laugh. |
| Oct 8 19:31:44 | 27m 45s | Holospecter | ♥ 3 | This was absolutely insane. Controls, game design, music, story, everything was on point. The limited voice acting was a nice touch. I can't believe you made this during a weekend. Please turn this into a complete, commercial game. |
| Oct 8 19:44:12 | 12m 28s | Clique Hell High | ♥ 3 | This was great. Really creative concept, the gameplay is fun and challening. The artwork is nice as well. The premise would probably make for a good pitch for a Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon show, haha. |
| Oct 10 19:40:43 | 47h 56m | Choo Choo Crossing | ♥ 1 | This is excellent, super charming graphics, gameplay and music (although it felt a bit quiet in-game?). Exactly the kind of game that deserves a post-jam (or even full) version. |
| Oct 20 21:05:51 | 241h 25m | Citri Plays Noirwood | ♥ 0 | This was excellent, really creative, innovative idea. Graphics, sound design and gameplay is on point. The gameplay was genuinely tense and challenging. The dialogue was also good (although I wish there was more of it).I would really like to see more of this, please make more with this concept and character! also the girl is pretty cute :0)))) |
