| Jan 9 00:14:22 | Chess The Second | ♥ 2 | Screenshot 2023-01-08 181311.png Deliciously strategic!! I quite liked this one. The only problem I encountered was that I sometimes couldn't take spaces and didn't understand why (even when no enemies had line-of-sight). | |
| Jan 9 00:42:49 | 28m 27s | The Gleaning Samurai | ♥ 1 | Fun! I got overrun by weeds eventually, but stuck it out long enough to see the derpy tomato |
| Jan 9 00:47:41 | 4m 52s | 🥕 Grow a Carrot! 🥕 | ♥ 1 | Seed planted! Easy 5 for humor |
| Jan 9 00:59:48 | 12m 07s | Moon Harvest | ♥ 4 | Really really fun! It gets surprisingly tense when you're low on fuel. |
| Jan 9 01:17:57 | 18m 09s | Salvage City | ♥ 1 | Fascinating and gorgeous little game. I got a score of 28, no idea if that's any good |
| Jan 9 01:34:20 | 16m 23s | Iris's Scrappy Rumble | ♥ 2 | Simply fantastic. Charming art, great concept, wonderful game-play. Somewhat ars-magicka-ey while taking a unique and awesome spin on the concept. Final score: 11483. (I suck) |
| Jan 9 01:50:10 | 15m 50s | Monster Harvester | ♥ 1 | Fun! The gameplay is fairly simplistic, but damn if those spiderlegs dont look cool |
| Jan 9 02:03:09 | 12m 59s | Asteroid Rush | ♥ 1 | Great graphics and **incredible** sound design! Seemed sorely lacking in some kind of gravity for the asteroids, though. I have to admit-- I had much more fun with this game after I started trying to blow up all the planets instead of safely crash my asteroids into them. |
| Jan 12 14:28:02 | 84h 24m | Strange Orchardist | ♥ 1 | Super great!! The gameplay is really fun & smooth, even on a trackpad (I really appreciated the inclusion of the spacebar to jump in addition to clicking.) The art is charming, and the sound fits well to the game. Very intuitive, and left me wanting for it to be expanded upon (the inclusion of ice opened up all sorts of new avenues of gameplay.) My only complaint would be that the game seemed to fit better to a kind of precision platforming rather than the strictly timed gameplay it uses. That's a small complaint, though, because it works great as is. Overall, awesome game. |
| Jan 12 14:40:47 | 12m 45s | Cube Digger | ♥ 1 | This is really really great!! I'm not sure why there are so many negative comments, but this game is incredibly charming, relaxing, beautiful, and has a wonderful soundtrack. I adore the unique captain-toad-esque spin on the minecraft look (it reminds me of these tiny Minecraft Lego sets I used to have when I was a kid). Not sure if this was coincidence or is actually programmed-in, but I loved how the music resolved when I got to the end of the game. |
| Jan 22 21:54:16 | 247h 13m | Harvest Goddess | ♥ 3 | Very very pretty game, took a lot of rather slow-paced experimenting to figure out how the mechanics worked. Overall, I think having quicker restart times and a more clear mechanical explanation (though optimally with less text than the game has currently) would be helpful. |
| Jan 22 22:09:45 | 15m 29s | The Last Outpost | ♥ 1 | Absolutely fantastic!! The sheer magnitude of this game blew me away. There's so much here, so much to explore, and after about half an hour of playing, I have no doubt that I could keep playing for hours more. (Which I fully intend to, at some point when I have more time.) This has a great core loop, lots of interesting micromanagement mechanics, and on the whole really captivated me in a way no other game I've seen in this jam has. |
| Jan 22 22:22:55 | 13m 10s | Escape From The Ostrobothnia | ♥ 1 | good stuff! Felt very fleshed out for what it was, almost stardew-valley-esque not only in its contents but in its chill tone as well. |
| Jan 22 22:35:38 | 12m 43s | World's Best Soul Harvester | ♥ 1 | Really fantastic! The movement was often a bit buggy, but the main mechanic was solid and led to some interesting puzzles. Those puzzles were made much clearer whenever there were identifying features in the level to hold on to, but obviously making unique art this gorgeous for the length of this entire game would be impossible. Also, of course, it was funny and the story is interesting though I'm not really sure if I 'got' it. |
| Jan 22 22:50:30 | 14m 52s | The Dealer | ♥ 1 | Possibly the best ludum dare entry I have ever played, for one reason: this game knits together story and gameplay *perfectly*. The building stress as I need to go faster, as I need to harvest more of my customers, of making sure I'm well-stocked with all the organs I need mirrored perfectly the story of a black-market organ dealer that you're telling. Between the effective art, the stressful sound effects, and the engaging gameplay, I was brought into the shoes of the character I was playing as. Fantastic job. A few minor notes, though I think if you had more time to playtest you probably would have caught these: if I'm already in a growing tube and I click on another one, I wish it would switch to that one rather than requiring me to click out of the menu first, and also I think it would be helpful if your current organ counts were listed while buying new ones. Again, absolutely fantastic and an easy 5/5. |
| Jan 23 02:01:27 | 3h 10m | Travelling Tea Maker | ♥ 2 | Really lovely, and felt surprisingly open with a lot of replay value, given that it's a jam game (usually narrative jam games like this are much smaller and more linear in scope.) I loved the mechanic of experimenting to find the best teas while not using up all your special herbs, and I loved that it took some real skill to brew good teas (I didn't make anything anyone liked until my second playthrough.) The art is charming, fantastic, and polished. My only complaint is a few typos and story inconsistencies, but those could easily be ironed out through playtesting. Good stuff! |
| Jan 23 02:10:35 | 9m 08s | Late Harvest | ♥ 0 | Genuinely, unironically, quite fantastic. The art, though a bit abrasive, coheres well and ends up more charming than unpleasant. The mechanics, though simple, are satisfying and aided by good visual and audio feedback. On top of all that, the background music goes really hard and the sfx are great. |
