| Jan 10 20:17:24 | There Was A Day | ♥ 5 | Aww, the story was heartwarming as hell and got me back in the Christmas mood for a bit! Thank you for the experience. As for the AI art, yeah yeah, we aren't supposed to evaluate that here I guess, but I do agree that it enhances the overall experience, deepens immersion and supports the writing, so I don't mind it one bit. | |
| Jan 10 20:29:06 | 11m 42s | Blood Harvest | ♥ 2 | A pretty enticing game that has it all - platforming, fighting, stealth and watching your life meter deplete slowly while you contemplate your choices. I died quite a few times, but that's because my preferred tactic is going all in and throwing myself on enemies where it's CLEARLY not the right strategy here. On the other hand, I outhopped a few of them and felt pretty good about myself :3 The graphics were extremely pleasant to the eye. I was afraid that scanlines might affect visibility in motion, but nope, you get used to them immediately. All those other special effects thrown on top of already solid pixel art make the picture look shamelessly good! Also, Google Chrome freaked out on me trying to download the game file, but that's because it "can potentially be dangerous since it's downloaded rarely". Well, duh, that's because it was created just now? Stupid Chrome -_- |
| Jan 10 20:38:03 | 8m 57s | Catchy | ♥ 1 | Okay, what is this and why is it so ridiculously adorable. Like, I think I felt compelled to keep playing it long after I should've supposedly moved on to rate other games? But I don't know, it's just so... relaxing. Made me remember those nights I spend browsing stuff on Newgrounds and just chilling after a long and hard day. Navigating along the bursts of wind was unexpectedly exciting. At some point I thought that it would be fun to make the ship drift a little even if it has its sales down in the strong wind, but then I reconsidered. That would add challenge, yes, but also lots of annoyance. Amazing game, doubly so for having been made in 48 hours by just one person! |
| Jan 10 20:54:20 | 16m 17s | Harveyster | ♥ 4 | Incredibly satisfying. Cutting stuff felt good, so good in fact that I spent the first round running around ignoring the crows and harvesting my own unripe green sprouts lol Honestly, I don't know what physics model you used for the crops, but it's just, oomph, chef's kiss. I appreciated the implementation of "stamina", too, since it allows for more strategizing during combat instead of mindless button-mashing. A beautiful entry all around. |
| Jan 10 21:27:24 | 33m 04s | Techno Plants | ♥ 4 | Simple yet addicting, a perfect jam game with its own style! The beats are indeed sick, and while I did notice a slight de-sync between music and animations, it really wasn't that life-threatening (or maybe I'm just used to relying on audio cues more that on visual ones) |
| Jan 15 10:17:11 | 108h 49m | Flavors of Victory | ♥ 5 | An incredibly entertaining game that put a smile on my face thanks to its sheer cheekiness :3 The graphics is right on the crossroads between wholesome and haunting (reminds me of early 2000s cartoons), and the music was RIDICULOUSLY good. I mean, seriously, what the hell, that's pro tier! I know you probably had to cut a lot of corners, working in such a tight time frame (I understand the pain of it all too well, trust me), but the final result is still amazing, so please don't worry about it! |
| Jan 24 09:14:00 | 214h 56m | Children of the Combine | ♥ 4 | Incredibly entertaining, everything from the comic pages to sounds and voices was absolutely hilarious :D This game makes for the ultimate time-burner, and I can honestly see myself sinking minutes upon minutes into munching on people... therapeutically. |
| Jan 24 09:38:27 | 24m 27s | 7 days to harvest | ♥ 5 | For some reason this game really speaks to me ~~and my hoarding tendencies~~. Finishing the level "cleanly" was profoundly satisfying (that's why I replayed some of them when I basically tethered the line), and yes, I was also ready to smash those pesky workers like the useless bugs they are >:[ Thank you for this little gem of a game :) |
