Oct 4 14:36:10 Spell Forest ♥ 1 Really fun game, I played it a bunch of times! The upgrades were really fun, and I loved how the overpowered you could get if you found the right combos (I found speed is absolutely necessary!). I agree that one-hit death makes the game a little hard, and I wanted to keep going without restarting. Having multiple HP and possibly an upgrade that heals back to full would be an awesome addition. Very strong entry! Also, a web build would really help with getting more ratings/feedback.
Oct 4 14:48:11 12m 01s 10 Snekonds ♥ 2 Great art style, all of the assets are really well done! The UI in the top left has great UX and is well thought through, I understood it immediately. The blocks that get shot off and will destroy your snake are a little too visually similar to the ones that you can pickup, I lost my first run because I thought I could re-pick them up. I also found that the blocks that provide abilities spawned too rarely! Very nice game and great entry!
Oct 4 22:27:16 7h 39m Escape The Simulation ♥ 1 Very cool use of the theme and a 3D game to boot! I love the backstory of it being set in a computer simulation. It was very easy to pickup and understand the glyph system, and the controls were nice and intuitive. My only critique is that I wish there were checkpoints so that I didn't have to restart from the beginning- it's a very punishing game!
Oct 4 22:39:47 12m 31s Bleeding vampire ♥ 1 Very funny concept and good use of the theme! I wanted some UI to tell the player their HP!
Oct 4 22:51:03 11m 16s Dimension Rush ♥ 1 Fun idea and great use of the theme! Your pixel art style really works well and the game feels fun to play. My only wish is that there was a checkpointing system so I didn't need to restart from the beginning. Otherwise a really strong entry!
Oct 4 22:57:17 6m 14s Spooky Doctor ♥ 1 Really polished and with great UX all around. The art style is some of the best I've seen yet!
Oct 5 18:18:42 19h 21m Gelato Drift ♥ 2 Loved this entry! Was a ton of fun careening around the turns to get to those hungry folks. I really liked the 3d-in-2d effect and the art style in general. The ramping up of the music was great too. I also appreciated that the timer didn't start until after the first deliver so that I could learn the controls for a bit. My only critique is that it was unclear if running into things had any effect aside from slowing me? Great job!
Oct 5 18:24:15 5m 33s Burn Notice ♥ 1 Very cool idea for this jam. The visual feedback for where the safe zone is during a fireball was really well done and intuitive. I think the controls need a little iteration, but congrats on a really strong entry otherwise!
Oct 5 18:36:33 12m 18s Don't Shoot Yourself ♥ 1 Wow what a unique mechanic! Super well done. It combines a bit of strategy with 2d shooter mechanics really well!
Oct 5 18:55:41 19m 08s Assault on Hartblood Hotel ♥ 1 The battle system in this game is surprisingly deep and the art style is really unique (in a good way!). Serious old school RPG vibes. Good entry, I had fun playing!
Oct 5 18:59:41 4m 00s Lava Crossing ♥ 1 I love the lava VFX and the chill music. I saw your technical writeup post as well- it was super interesting! Really well done entry!
Oct 5 19:04:52 5m 11s Birdwatching ♥ 3 My takeaways: - Scientific bird names are long - Your bird facts are great.
Oct 5 19:08:48 3m 56s Impending Doom of a Thousand Kitties ♥ 2 If I stop playing these cats might starve! Send help!
Oct 5 22:08:31 2h 59m Grandma's Groceries ♥ 1 Fantastic art but that grandma had me fetch some weird stuff indeed.
Oct 6 13:37:23 15h 28m Fish Knight ♥ 0 I love it! It's hilarious and absurd. Like others have mentioned, I wanted the stomp to damage the crabs (but it's surprisingly fun just to knock them back as is), and possibly some UI telling me how many crabs I've killed. Fun entry! Also really dig the 2D billboards in 3D art style you've got!
Oct 6 13:50:13 12m 50s [X-ED OUT] ♥ 1 Wow that was a ton of fun! I played for a good 15 minutes. I think with some added enemy variety and maybe multiple upgrade paths this could be a great full game. Also that screen shake juice 👌
Oct 6 14:03:19 13m 06s Sokobyo ♥ 1 Fun! I managed to beat the first 3 levels, but I got stuck on level 4. The art style in your game is very good! I can see why the players movement changed to 2s instead of 10- that would have been pretty frustrating. Maybe the zombie could have moved every 10 seconds to preserve the theme?
Oct 6 14:17:11 13m 52s Flip and Swap ♥ 2 Very cool concept, I think I made it to level 5! There were some neat platformer puzzles, especially involving the pushable balls and watergun- that was a really nice touch. I would love a way to speedup time so that I didn't have to wait the full 10 seconds during some platforming sequences. Congrats on the good entry!
Oct 7 00:41:59 10h 24m Termination Imminent ♥ 1 Wow! I had a blast playing this game- it felt like a twist on Hotline Miami. Excellent use of the theme in this game with the global bomb timer that was always ticking. Great music and art too. Just a great entry all around.
Oct 7 01:17:31 35m 32s Bearly Fishing ♥ 1 An absolute blast to play! Also had a really well done difficulty curve which is no easy feat for a physics game like this.
Oct 7 01:57:18 39m 47s Impact-Effect ♥ 1 Excellent game with top notch enemy design! I managed to beat I, but it took me a few tries. Just an absolute great entry all around. The minimalist art style, the way the enemies moved, and the great soundtrack you selected. Excellent work, I didn't want it to end.
Oct 8 13:58:56 36h 01m Boulder Bash ♥ 1 Fun games with simple mechanics like this are just awesome! I made it to wave 12 and was just about the size of the island 😆. I would love to see different kinds of enemy behaviors or shapes in a future update. Fun entry!
Oct 8 14:06:01 7m 05s Sun's out Buns out ♥ 3 Very funny and with a really unique loop. I really like the wall building idea! One variation I think might be interesting to explore is if the bunnies only attack the wall if there is no other path to the plant. This way the player would have to create a "maze" for the bunnies to take- sort of like in a Tower Defense.
Oct 8 14:12:21 6m 20s A Quick Bunny Affair 🥕 ♥ 2 Fantastic art style and great music. I loved the stylized tutorial screen too! Really well done entry! I think it would be fun to explore requiring the player to plant different crops to meet the objectives.
Oct 8 15:27:06 1h 14m Exorcist Patrol ♥ 2 Super unique entry, I've never played a game like this! I loved the strategy element of it as I got to the later levels. This could definitely be extended to a full game!
Oct 10 13:43:06 46h 16m Spacivery ♥ 1 Solid entry! I really liked the 3d graphics (especially the dog and space house models!) and your choice of background music. Having only 10 seconds to pickup a package was really hard, I would consider making the map a little smaller, and then making it progressively larger over time.
Oct 10 13:51:00 7m 54s Anne & the Raccoons ♥ 2 WOW what a polished entry! The gameplay is a little simple, but the art style and UI are really well done! It's such a small thing, but I really loved all the little UI animations that you added- makes the game feel so professional. I think with some extended gameplay this would make a great little indie game. Great job!
Oct 10 14:04:07 13m 07s 10 second base ♥ 1 Took me awhile to figure everything out, but I had a great time once I did! All of the buildings felt necessary, and the resource generation/collection was very satisfying! The only things I felt was needed was better feedback when inserting resources into buildings (some UI animation, sound, etc.). Congrats on the really great entry!
Oct 10 14:19:02 14m 55s NN7 Guardian ♥ 2 Managed to beat it on my second try- what a great twist on traditional tower defenses! I really enjoyed playing it! The homeworld-esque graphics are top notch, the music is very chill. Definitly want to callout that transition VFX, very well done especially for a jam! I think with some added unit varity and different enemy types this could really but a fun full game. I want to play more!
Oct 10 14:30:29 11m 27s Escape from The Aquillus ♥ 1 Very fun game! I managed to beat it after plenty of dying! I really loved your pixel art style and how the abilities were given to me slowy. Excellent level design too! Great entry, congrats!
Oct 10 14:38:34 8m 05s Loop Arena ♥ 1 Very cool idea, I was not able to beat it though! I really liked the unique color palette of your art style- very cool asthetic! The UI that pointed me to the pillers was a really good addition, thank you for that. I think it could use a bit of shoot feedback, maybe some SFX and screenshake juice?
Oct 10 22:36:27 7h 57m ScramBumble ♥ 1 Fun game, I managed 690 points! I really liked the art style, especially the background color palette! I would make the wasp bullets a different color though, I found them hard to see against the background.
Oct 10 22:44:05 7m 38s Ten Till Doom ♥ 0 Fun and polished card battler- I think it's very unique gameplay! I found the most valuable card by far was the Fighters.
Oct 10 22:54:17 10m 12s Mages Arena ♥ 1 Very interesting gameplay loop! Teleporting to a safe room at any time to escape death is a suprisingly interesting mechanic. Neat entry!
Oct 10 23:00:01 5m 44s Thirsty Vampire ♥ 1 Haha! Managed to score 30 with only 2 blood types necessary. It's a simple game, but I enjoyed my frantic race to find victims. The player art and run animation is well done!
Oct 10 23:08:14 8m 13s Silvi ♥ 1 Such a zen game, and the plant growth game loop was really unique! I spent a little too long worried I would wake that cat though.... thank you for the great entry!
