| Oct 4 14:24:35 | Lab Slime | ♥ 3 | Simple, brutal, and unforgiving, I love it. Made it to level 15 before I had to go get my laundry, will definitely give it more attempts. Those arrow-to-circle teleport tiles are devilish. As others have already mentioned, the camera movement is really abrupt. I can feel my eyes straining if I move too quickly. Just a very slight smoothing would make it feel a lot better, I think. Great game, guys, really fun! | |
| Oct 4 14:35:50 | 11m 15s | Four Seasons In One Play | ♥ 2 | Neat little game! I haven't tried out the co-op mode, but in single player I felt the enemies might be a bit too easy to stunlock which made the game less challenging. I like how they take cover, though, and how you can pick up their weapons once killed! Nice job! |
| Oct 4 14:41:20 | 5m 30s | Cult Of the Сelestial Knight | ♥ 4 | Nice, moody game with great art! I appear to be too smooth-brained to figure out how to do the combat mini games, but super cute nun so 10/10. |
| Oct 4 14:47:33 | 6m 13s | Deep Down There | ♥ 2 | Love the hectic multitasking, only made worse by the constant beeping! Looks great, plays great, stressed me the fuck out - amazing game! |
| Oct 4 14:54:53 | 7m 20s | Toad Cat's Cemetary Watch | ♥ 1 | Excellent little game! I'm usually not a fan of pixel art, since it often feels very low effort, but this is really nice! Got that Gameboy/SNES vibe goin'. Nice difficulty ramp-up, gets real hectic real quick. Enjoyed it a lot, great job! |
| Oct 4 15:03:13 | 8m 20s | Rough Day | ♥ 1 | Hectic, chaotic, stressful, and tons of fun. I love it! I absolutely sucked at it, and I couldn't for the life of me find Kate to give her her god damn coffee, but I thoroughly enjoyed it! Knocked it out of the park, really impressed! |
| Oct 4 15:09:41 | 6m 28s | Slow Mo Samurai | ♥ 1 | Simple, fun, really stylish and cool - great game! I clipped out of the level in a couple spots, but always managed to get back in so it's all gucci. Love the strategy aspect of planning your moves under time pressure. Super solid, color me impressed! |
| Oct 4 15:16:56 | 7m 15s | Frogwatch | ♥ 4 | Frogs status: saved Bad witches: BTFO'd Lovely little game! Throwing the frogs in the ponds is a bit janky, and they don't always go where you expect them to, but a really nice experience overall! Cute witch/10 |
| Oct 4 16:14:37 | 57m 41s | Laika's Revenge | ♥ 1 | Cute, simple game with a solid core loop! I would've loved to see even bigger and faster waves of enemies as time goes on, though, since the challenge was more or less gone already when I had both gun and coil at level 2. Music got a little bit repetitive, but not enough that it was annoying. Really nice game overall, I love the little dog! |
| Oct 4 20:09:51 | 3h 55m | Thirsty Vampire | ♥ 1 | Fun and hectic little game! I like how you only get a couple of seconds per victim, which keeps the tempo high. The music is good but way too loud, though! |
| Oct 4 20:32:48 | 22m 57s | Timebound | ♥ 6 | Really cool game! I hope you'll forgive me for nitpicking here, but it's so close to being really great that even small things stand out. Discovering the mechanics on my own was a little rough, but only because the explanatory text is rather subtle. I didn't see the "E" in the second level for the first couple loops, for example, and thought that I just had to shoot the switch. Puzzle design is really good. They're the kind of "What the hell is this? Wait... Oh, I see!" puzzles which I enjoy a lot. Once you grasp the situation it's all about execution. Very satisfying to solve. The graphics could've used just one more pass to make sure everything reads well. The cube blended in with the pressure plate so well that I just thought that's the plate looked like that when activated. And I'm not sure if the audio is actually glitching out, or if it's an intentional stylistic choice. If it is, I think you went a little bit too heavy, the glitching isn't "melodic" or "rhythmic" enough so I thought my audio drivers were acting up for a second. Overall, even though I sound really critical, I thoroughly enjoyed your game! I liked it a whole lot! Great job! |
| Oct 4 20:43:31 | 10m 43s | Red and Black's Discommunicative Communication | ♥ 1 | Man, what a promising game. The gameplay itself is alright, a fun little card matching game, but the presentation is really good. It definitely suffers from the lack of a running dialogue as the game goes on, which would have made it great! Love the art - obviously influenced by Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou which is always nice. Would've loved to get to know the characters better! Overall I enjoyed the game a lot, and I can easily imagine a more polished version that's a real banger! Great job! |
| Oct 4 20:58:08 | 14m 37s | Minute Monet | ♥ 2 | Nice little game, enjoyed it quite a bit! Love how not only do you get a random color, but you also have a limited amount of paint. (Color randomization seems to favor greens a lot though, at least for me.) |
| Oct 4 21:07:49 | 9m 41s | NN7 Guardian | ♥ 2 | Really cool game, with a very polished aesthetic. It's pretty hard, but I enjoyed it a lot! |
| Oct 4 22:12:00 | 1h 04m | Temple of Harmony | ♥ 2 | This is a nightmare when you have absolutely no relative pitch! Very cute and comfy game, though, with nice art! |
| Oct 5 13:23:41 | 15h 11m | CHAOS CONDUCTOR | ♥ 1 | Cool game with a really neat aesthetic! Got 6365 feet and 440 kills on my best attempt. It does gets a little bit slow once you realize that the enemies hitting the train don't actually do anything, and neither do the bats as long as you don't jump, so you really only have to stand by the button and prioritize the foot soldiers gunning for you. Cool music, though, I like how the train honk is incorporated as an instrument! Overall very enjoyable, and it's easy to see how the concept can be expanded (Co-op, having to repair the train, more weapon and enemy types.) into a really good game! Solid foundation! |
| Oct 5 13:38:38 | 14m 57s | Witchy Sketchy Alchemy | ♥ 2 | Art, music, gameplay - all absolutely excellent! In a game like that even tiny things stand out, so forgive me for being nitpicky. Revealing the intro text letter by letter felt a bit slow, almost frustrating. Just speeding it up a bit, or revealing it line by line would probably flow better. It's pretty easy to accidentally touch the mortar and pestle while trying to drag the leftmost ingredients directly to the cauldron, which was a bit frustrating. (And I can't help but think that maybe "Sketchy Witchy" would sound better than "Witchy Sketchy"?) Love the music, probably the best background loop I've heard so far this jam! The art style is fantastic, really cute and characterful. Gameplay is fast paced and fun and with four lives the time limit never feels unfair or frustrating. Very cute witch! Overall, I loved it. Very impressive, great job! |
| Oct 5 13:42:29 | 3m 51s | Homunculus Heist | ♥ 3 | Spooky! Love the aesthetic, controls feel really fluid and nice, the random teleportation was jarring and disorientating in a good way. Overall a very moody, claustrophobic and unsettling experience. I liked it a lot, good job guys! |
| Oct 5 14:01:10 | 18m 41s | Miller's Palm | ♥ 1 | Yeah, that was real good. Feel like I can't even go into detail without spoiling something, but I think when I finally solved it, I did it exactly the way you intended. Masterful clue placement, straight up impressed. Incredibly well done! |
| Oct 6 18:29:20 | 28h 28m | Card Empires | ♥ 3 | Great little game! Had to restart a couple times before I realized that building a house only took one turn, and leaving the farmer on that square blocked the new farmer from being created, but once I got the hang of it I really enjoyed it! I love these little pocket-sized strategy games, and this one it really good! I can just imagine it with more unit types, buildings, enemies, different terrain - a really, really solid foundation for a game! |
| Oct 6 18:34:47 | 5m 27s | Potat-OS | ♥ 4 | Wow, that's pretty nostalgic! If only popups cascades were actually this fun back in the day, and didn't just cause your mother to confiscate your modem for downloading questionable content off of Limewire. Nice game, good job guys! |
| Oct 6 18:50:44 | 15m 57s | Cubical Mayhem | ♥ 2 | This is almost cheating, because I love simple (in design) little puzzle games like this! Very cute, easy to get a hang of, looks good, and fun! I didn't feel that the flipping did that much later in the game and you ended up just waiting for the cube to flip to a position that gives you the resources you need - maybe letting the player choose which row/column rotates would make it more strategic? Either way, loved it! Great game! (Music did get a little bit repetitive, though.) |
| Oct 6 18:56:11 | 5m 27s | CATS AND COFFEE | ♥ 1 | Blown away by the art, extremely polished and impressive! The game's fun, but the art really sells it. It was a little bit hard to distinguish what parts were interactable, even with the outline, though. Great game, guys, really well done! (I did encounter a bug where spam-clicking a cat dumped me back in the main menu, but I can't reproduce it.) |
| Oct 6 19:01:14 | 5m 03s | 🌋 FlareScape | ♥ 1 | Cool game, the simple aesthetic looks really neat. Controlling the ATV is pretty tricky, and I the physics did jank out a bit and send me bouncing. It was fun, though! I think having the solar flares be 10 seconds long makes the game feel slower than it actually is, maybe having them slightly shorter would make it flow better. Good job, either way! |
| Oct 6 19:06:13 | 4m 59s | Homerun for your life! | ♥ 2 | Very cute game, love the TV reporter freaking out and the silly headlines! It's hard to tell exactly when to time your hits but otherwise I enjoyed it quite a lot. Gets really hectic when you're juggling multiple comets - fun! Great job! |
| Oct 6 19:07:48 | 1m 35s | Hyperlooper | ♥ 1 | Controls feel good, I like the puzzle aspect of figuring out what to unlock in which order, overall a pretty fun game! Good job! |
| Oct 6 19:39:53 | 32m 05s | 10 Second Mixtape | ♥ 3 | Incredibly polished and impressive! Big Jackbox vibes. Absolutely love it! |
| Oct 7 12:45:45 | 17h 05m | Cursed Kingdom | ♥ 1 | What a nice change of pace from other, more hectic entries! Enjoyed this one a lot, but I'm also very biased since I love strategy and puzzle games. Clean, polished presentation with nice art, and gameplay that's simple to grasp. Really well done! |
| Oct 7 12:57:37 | 11m 52s | Match it Fast | ♥ 3 | Very charming game, I like it a lot! It's got a bit of everything - dodge-based Soulslike combat, wave survival, random upgrades - and it really gels! Excellent visuals, too, love the intensifying flames as the clock ticks down. Great job! |
| Oct 7 13:35:31 | 37m 54s | CART CRASHERS | ♥ 1 | Excellent game, and excellent representation of Swedish culture! (Except it should probably be HÄLL, not HËLL, but that doesn't read as well to a non-Nordic audience.) Bunnyhopping is peak game design, literally nothing can convince me otherwise. The only way this could be better would be if you could slope surf off cars. 10/10 |
| Oct 7 13:42:23 | 6m 52s | Purfect Thyming | ♥ 1 | Cute game! Took a while to understand what to do, though. (And swiping isn't optimal with a mouse, but it wasn't too bad.) Really cute art! I love the stirring animation! Music was also nice. Quite a charming game, overall! Well done! |
| Oct 7 13:47:51 | 5m 28s | Keep Skating and Nobody Explodes | ♥ 1 | Decent game, although pretty tricky! Never managed to get very high, but it was fun. The main sprite looks really, really good, but the rest of the UI could've used a little bit more love. Overall, though, pretty fun! Great job! |
| Oct 7 13:59:17 | 11m 26s | Lavalette | ♥ 2 | Fun game! Feels a bit like Dorfromantik, but with time pressure. Great idea, and great execution - great job! |
| Oct 7 14:16:35 | 17m 18s | Déka! | ♥ 1 | As you said, really frustrating, but also pretty fun! I like this take on the theme a whole lot! Great job! |
| Oct 7 14:46:44 | 30m 09s | Spacemine Defense | ♥ 1 | Absolutely excellent! Blown away by this game, to be honest. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it. Simple in design, but still challenging. Great aesthetic making excellent use of the simple graphics. I was thoroughly disappointed when there were no more levels to play. Absolutely brilliant, 10/10, probably my favorite game so far! |
| Oct 7 15:08:09 | 21m 25s | Supply & Command | ♥ 3 | Excellent sound and great use of simple visuals! That autocannon sounds great, and holy shit is the special ammo beefy. Also really good voice acting, which was pleasantly surprising! (Activating special ammo with E and getting on/off with space felt a bit confusing though, feels like it should be the other way around.) All around an enjoyable game, great job! |
| Oct 7 15:18:58 | 10m 49s | DODGE! CATCH! DESTROY! | ♥ 1 | Really good use of the theme, nice looking graphics, fun gameplay. The only thing I can remark on is that the Dodge minigame was way more frustrating than the others, the risk/reward didn't make it feel worth dodging through them so I ended up just trying to avoid everything and hoping it would switch to Catch and not Destroy. Maybe if dodging through a ball made it disappear, like in the other minigames? It was fun, though! Good job! |
| Oct 7 15:24:39 | 5m 41s | Gelato Drift | ♥ 2 | Slick presentation and extremely polished. Gotta say, though, the controls were pretty frustrating - my brain kept wanting to press down to go down. Took a while for me to adapt to the relative controls. Either way, great job and fun game! |
| Oct 7 15:31:09 | 6m 30s | Poda Wants a Statue | ♥ 2 | Very cute, super polished, extremely impressive. Amazing job, great game! |
| Oct 7 15:59:35 | 28m 26s | Ťɦȩ Ɽḗḋ ꓤⴃὄⴅ | ♥ 1 | Pretty fun! Any puzzle game which I have to use a notepad to solve is good in my book. My only complaint is that the mouse sensitivity is very high, but I just lowered the DPI on my mouse and it was all gucci. Nice game, good job! I liked it! |
| Oct 7 16:19:55 | 20m 20s | Exorcist Patrol | ♥ 2 | Great game, enjoyed it a lot! The music really adds a lot. Love the art style, got some Touhou vibes from the Eastern-style/Western-style exorcist combo. Timeline was easy to understand and experimenting with different spell combinations was fun. All around a really enjoyable experience, GREAT job! |
| Oct 7 16:29:56 | 10m 01s | Tenjutsu | ♥ 1 | Very polished, very impressive. Good use of the retro CRT arcade look. Impressive game! |
| Oct 7 16:38:26 | 8m 30s | Citri Plays Noirwood | ♥ 0 | Making a vtuber game is cheating. Good use of sound, really spooked me the first time he popped up. Great concept and fantastic execution of the vtuber gimmick. Enjoyed it a lot! Citri a cute! |
| Oct 7 16:45:50 | 7m 24s | LoopTown | ♥ 0 | Fun little game! A little bit shorter and more straight forward than I expected, but I enjoyed it. Well done! |
| Oct 7 16:51:14 | 5m 24s | Just Roll With It! | ♥ 2 | Impressive as all hell! Really fun and really hard. A little bit of jank with mouse controls (camera would jump around at the start of every level), but nothing I couldn't handle. Lina's super cute! Very well done, super impressive! |
| Oct 7 16:59:33 | 8m 19s | Tenfold Rim Mining | ♥ 2 | A lot to take in at first, but you've got a pretty solid game there! You've obviously put a lot of thought into it, and I think just a little bit of polish on how to introduce all the mechanics to the player will make it really great! Good job! |
| Oct 7 17:02:55 | 3m 22s | 10s Bar Brawl | ♥ 3 | Neat of use of 2D and 3D graphics. The colors are very eclectic and kind of hurt my eyes a little bit, but the game is fun enough! I like the concept, and with a bit of polish it could be a pretty fun party game! Nice job! |
| Oct 7 19:15:46 | 2h 12m | lemojid | ♥ 2 | To be brutally honest, I wasn't very impressed at first. But then I was intrigued by the presentation (purchasing the UI as upgrades.) I figured I'd just beat the dragon and that'd be it. Wait, there's even more? I ended up beating the entire game and I gotta say, you did pretty well! It's neat, easy to understand, and fun to keep on your second screen. God job! |
| Oct 7 20:02:12 | 46m 26s | Pandora’s Box [WebGL/Win/Touch] | ♥ 0 | A simple little platformer that's fun enough, but that character is just too cute! Excellent character design! Nice music too. Overall an enjoyable experience, nice job! |
| Oct 10 16:51:44 | 68h 49m | ITTTNOALTSFATWWAMPTJBANCKSUE10S! | ♥ 1 | Hell yeah, excellent concept and great execution! Loved the VA-11 Hall-A-like mechanics and the multitasking. I absolutely bombed the test - just like real life! Great job! |
| Oct 13 17:53:49 | 73h 02m | Another one bites the dust | ♥ 0 | Interesting game. Didn't think much of the weapon swapping until I was stuck in a corridor with a fuck ton of enemies and I ran out of ammo, suddenly those ten seconds felt very long. You did a good job creating a creepy mood, nice job! |
