| May 1 20:37:46 | Age of Mail | ♥ 1 | Hey that was cool! I really liked the artstyle (the map-view feel was really nice) and the core gameplay loop was interesting. I definitely think you could have done with a minimap (or just a map that you can pull up to see where everything is), but I understand the restrictions of the 48 hours. Well done! | |
| May 1 20:47:44 | 9m 58s | Drone Diner Dash | ♥ 1 | That was pretty fun and chilled out. Once you get the hang of the physics (avoiding the tempation to go at high speed is 100% the key), it's quite relaxing to go back and forth between tables. I do agree with the other comment that inverted controls would have been a nice option, but it wasn't too hard to get used to it. |
| May 1 21:03:50 | 16m 06s | Catnip Express | ♥ 1 | That was fun! I had a great time zipping between the planets and the visuals were very impressive - not to mention the great sound effects :) I probably would have liked some sense of progression towards an end goal, as it stands the game is "deliver cats until you don't want to anymore" - but hey, that's the compo life! |
| May 1 21:10:52 | 7m 02s | Rain Sleet Zombies | ♥ 1 | The lighting and fog effects gave it a pretty cool ambience - weirdly I think the tones of the music might have undermined what could have felt a lot spookier/scarier, but a lighter vibe might have been what you were going for! The "feel" of attacking zombies wasn't quite punchy enough, I would have liked the animation to have a faster "swing" (even if the overall animation time is unaffected). Other than that, cool idea, and welcome to the game jam world! |
| May 1 21:27:30 | 16m 38s | Delivery Boy | ♥ 3 | That was really fun! I got $2080. It surprised me at first just how fast Boy moved, but I quickly put on my platformers hat and blitzed through it as fast as possible. That was great fun, just the right level of frantic intensity, and the time limit stopped it from dragging on too long. Great game! |
| May 1 21:41:19 | 13m 49s | Apocalypse Express | ♥ 0 | Incredible game. I'm honestly quite baffled this is a compo entry - well done! If I had one criticism it would be the difficult-to-read font choice and the fact that we're not given any control as to when we're done reading a given text box. However, the graphics, audio, enemy AI, humour, and overall presentation is absolutely top-notch. Fantastic work. |
| May 1 23:22:59 | 1h 41m | 30 Minutes Or Your Potion's Free | ♥ 1 | Very impressive, especially for a compo entry! I admire the boldness of deciding to make a deckbuilder. The theme inclusion felt like a bit of a stretch, but regardless the game was very fun to play about with! |
| May 2 07:55:15 | 8h 32m | Oliver the Bartender | ♥ 1 | That was pretty fun and well put together - I think the idea was solid but I would have liked to be able to hold a button and move in that direction, having to repeatedly press the arrows did make my fingers very tired. There were a few bugs with customers that randomly wouldn't accept their food, but overall the game was nice and pretty polished. Well done! |
| May 2 10:39:53 | 2h 44m | Courier Cacophony | ♥ 1 | A very elegantly designed puzzle game! It's got all of the hallmarks of a classic great puzzler - all of the mechanics are simple to understand, but how they interact with each other creates the difficulty. The animations gave it a lot of polish, even though the icons themselves were very simplistic. Well done! If I had a criticism, it would be to allow the player to instantly press an arrow again to move without having to wait for the animation to complete, but that's more of a nit pick. |
| May 3 21:55:24 | 35h 15m | Postominoes | ♥ 1 | That's a cute little concept! It works really nicely within the theme and it's very relaxing. Good job! |
| May 3 22:21:24 | 26m 00s | Fetch Quest. A small text adventure | ♥ 2 | That was really nice! It's really novel to have a text adventure in LD, well done. |
| May 3 22:53:52 | 32m 28s | Burger Galactic | ♥ 2 | Managed to get it done in 23. Good concept, you should pick this up and go further with it! |
| May 4 10:23:21 | 11h 29m | Pizza Pete's Peculiar Predicament | ♥ 1 | That was fun - the movement felt tight and I always felt in control (crucial for a platformer) - the abundance of animations and sound effects added a very nice polish to it. My only real criticism is the very slow animations between levels. Well done! |
| May 4 10:29:52 | 6m 31s | Claw Express DS | ♥ 1 | I'm very impressed you made a game for the DS - brings back memories! The game itself isn't really much - there doesn't seem to be a loss condition, and I didn't find a reason to have the arm in any state other than fully extended, but as a technical achievement, well done. |
| May 4 10:46:27 | 16m 35s | Dingsi | ♥ 1 | That has a really interesting atmosphere. The graphics and audio are both absolutely unhinged, and it gives it this surrealistic vibe which I really like. The mechanics were a bit janky in places but that was alright - however, the inverted horizontal camera controls during the robot section made it really hard in a way that didn't feel good. Well done, though! |
