Jan 12 00:27:04 Afterlife Assistance Agency ♥ 2 As a pixel artist myself I'm just in awe of your talent. Those faces look amazing and the amount of variation is just astonishing. Fantastic job. I do though agree with one comment that maybe UI would be better as an offscreen bar not overlapping the area where those characters walk. It happened to me few times where the guy I was looking for was hiding behind it. My absolute maximum was 12, and with each consecutive try I only got less and less simply because I couldn't stop just observing all those amazing characters and details you guys placed on them. Fantastic job!
Jan 12 01:13:43 46m 39s Human Harvest ♥ 2 This is probably so far my favorite game this jam. I'm a sucker for a good pixel art game, and this game is simply beautiful. And gameplay wise it's super fun to, though around day 20 it got really grindy to the point where collecting 350 (my record) gave me like 35% progress to the next level, and I still had like 4 upgrades left and just couldn't do it cause it felt like I would have to double the amount of playtime to finish my UFO. Regardless of that controls are super tight and responsive ( I played web build and had zero issues what so ever). The only thing in my mind that game was lacking was the enemy variation. Something like some kind of air force getting involved as time progresses would be nice and could spice up the game. Some jets hunting you from the sky would definitely help, as just flying higher up was the safest solution and tanks stopped being a threat. Also not sure how much would it screw with your game, but maybe starting in different spot on the map each time would help with repetitiveness that you struggle after 20 days. Still loved the game and could only wish there was more. Fantastic work guys!
Jan 12 01:38:39 24m 56s Carvest ♥ 1 I saw your game on one of the streams and I knew immediately I have to try it out for myself. For a compo this is astonishing amount of work done. I'm not gonna lie I cheated a bit on the last level when I found out I can just never place the wall on the ground and just hold it with my cursor and bump it directly in to incoming cars. :P still loved the game and I think you should be very proud of yourself. Fantastic job.
Jan 12 03:13:29 1h 34m Bow Knight Drifter ♥ 1 What a fun experience this was. I loved the graphics, the art style reminded me a lot about the Titan Souls game. Advance Bow is busted, it took me three tries to smite the beast! Super cool entry. Also who't this dude? eda465c018ddb76f303b62623dd075d7.png
Jan 12 03:38:27 24m 58s Collector of _ ♥ 2 As a pixel artist myself I tend to pay more attention to graphics, but I'm a sucker for a good platformer. Not gonna lie it took me a while to figure out how the mechanic works, but I blame that on me for not noticing sooner. I faced an issue though that almost made me skip this game. When the game loaded at first I couldn't control the character. I could swipe my scythe though so I thought I was missing something. I had to reload the game webpage to get rid of that issue (the download on this page doesn't work for me). Overall this is pretty neat game I enjoyed it enough to be glued to the screen and bit whole game. Great work. Also the art is astonishing!
Jan 12 03:54:06 15m 39s Mushrun ♥ 1 I'm so bad with games like this. Even though the art is cute I was so surprised when I saw the monster for the first time and I got literally scared. That design is terrifying and I will never look at the snails the same way after playing this game. Artwork is fantastic, so is the music and the mood. I'm not a huge fan of grid based movement but hey that's just my preference. I manage to build two levels of the ladder but sadly beast got me. Also I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but throwing my parts seems to be doing nothing and snail never cared about them. Needs a bit polishing but it is a cool entry nonetheless! Good job!
Jan 12 04:36:38 42m 32s The Gold'n Apples ♥ 2 I'm so dumb for taking so long to understand the simple rules. This game is AWESOME! It took me some time for it to finally click with me but when it did I had ton of fun. The simple pixel art is beautiful and the game has amazing mood. This is the most original game this jam I had play thus far. I have only grape with the game that really pissed me on few occasions. I wish that you could deselect picked tile by just simply choosing other tile.I screwed myself over few times but forgetting it doesn't work like that. Pressing the white square in my opinion is less intuitive option, or should be on of the options to change the tile. Regardless of that I enjoyed my time with this game tremendously. Also I believe this could be a really nice mobile game. And as promised my Islands. The first island is half empty cause I'm slow and didn't thought about farming it till I max out space, and traversed to the other Island as soon as I had enough money :P 8631a39856aceb88cc6a119a7a416d3b.png
Jan 12 09:28:24 4h 51m Adelie - Water Under the Bridge ♥ 1 another game that I saw on one of the streams and immediately fell in love even without playing it. Playing it though was exactly how I thought would be, super fun and addictive! I'm a pixel artist so I always focus the most on the graphics, and I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of the pico8 graphics. Somehow, you madlad, have no idea how, but you made this game look so so good. With such small resolution, your game still looks super clean, easily readable and cute. I love your enemy sprites and the penguin is adorable. On top of that gameplay is simple and as mentioned before very addictive, with you somehow squeezing it randomly generated levels that never feel cheap, unfair or unbalanced. Not sure if its good programming or great game design or both, but it doesn't matter. What matters is that you're very talented developer and can't wait to play more of your stuff in the future. Amazing job for a compo game! @edit OMG I just checked your previous games! All of them have penguins and the naming pattern <3 ... that's some sick dedication and I love it even more now :P
Jan 16 15:36:09 102h 07m A Day in the Life of Death ♥ 1 yes, yesssss, YESSSS! Cocoamoss is back baby! And what return this has been, this must be my favorite game of your so far, the art is better then ever, the music fantastic as always and game is so fun, charming and heartwarming. When my cat yelled at me cause I started spamming my space made laugh so hard I almost fall down from my chair. Not spoiling anything but the ending made me so happy, with widest smile possible present on my face the whole time.
Jan 17 07:36:33 16h 00m Doki Doki Ninjin ♥ 2 It's amazing how much content you guys managed to fit in in such short amount of time, and gives me a lot of joy knowing someone else took inspiration from the same games we did :) Excellent job team!
Jan 27 06:33:25 238h 56m Moon 2023 ♥ 0 Was this game done in pico8? Outstanding art and mood!
