| May 3 06:47:52 | Special Delivery | ♥ 1 | Simple, clean, and well-explored ideas here. Everything feels so crisp and whimsical, while capturing all sorts of retro vibes. The only thing that felt slightly strange is that the claw behaves differently on the end-game screen than it does in the gameplay. Minor, and doesn't impact my feelings, but I noticed it. Great game here! I played through twice to get all the letters. The first one was the hardest by far for me. | |
| May 3 15:33:09 | 8h 45m | Meat Sweats | ♥ 2 | It took me a long time to realize that I had to fight the sauce boss to get sauce. I was trying to collect things off the shelf. A cool game with fun art to compliment it well. The only recommendation I'd have for the art side of things is to maybe desaturate the things that aren't part of the gameplay. The floor tiles are quite 'loud' visually and the sauce area had me convinced that I was trying to get certain things off of the shelves. I have yet to get him to complete the meat sweats challenge... but I've gotten close. |
| May 3 15:41:21 | 8m 12s | Boxtorio | ♥ 2 | Looks like I'm not alone in some of the confusion around how to play. It looks interesting, but after 5 minutes of trying to figure out how to do things, or what the goal is, I'm a little stumped. |
| May 5 21:39:15 | 53h 57m | Virus Load | ♥ 1 | Cool entry. The audio fits very well with the gameplay and art. I feel like an intruder in a mysterious place. I never figured out how to get enough virus buddies to take on the bigger critters/cells. Depositing one/two at a time on the membrane felt very slow, so I was trying to amass a larger swarm (I assume it's number-based) so I could attack the bigger things, but the immune system seems nearly impossible to dodge once you have more than 7 viruses in your swarm. Giving the player a little more counter-play around the immune system would make a huge difference in the feel with this one. Great work on the game and the atmosphere with this one. |
| May 5 21:51:29 | 12m 14s | Desert Mayhem | ♥ 2 | Visually very cool. Has vibes of the flash heyday, which is wonderful. I found it very easy to get trapped by the other cars, and even with the gun upgrade, they don't seem to be able to die. Without a goal, the novelty can wear off a bit quickly, but the car felt fun and 'car-like' to drive around. Particle effects are on point. Solid entry. |
| May 10 05:07:49 | 103h 16m | The Antidelivery Room | ♥ 1 | We thought about making a game themed around delivering a baby, but couldn't come up with anything. You clearly showed us that there are some good ideas to be had in that area! Pretty fun, overall. My best was level 24! I would have loved to see the game slowed down a bit because it gets quiiiiiite chaotic once the other evil fetuses show up and there is stuff all over the play field. Some squishier sound effects would have been a welcomed addition, too. But overall, it played well and I had a good time with this one. I definitely like your sense of humor with this entry. |
| May 10 05:11:18 | 3m 29s | Panda Express | ♥ 2 | My best was 36! I had a couple times where the pandas would get stuck when multiple would try to squeeze through the same gap together. I do like the mazing mechanic here where you have to be careful about how you collect the pandas so you can get back to the bamboo in time. I'd love for a little more variety in the audio/music, but overall, good job! |
| May 16 22:24:43 | 161h 13m | Package Panic | ♥ 1 | Simple and intuitive. I'd love to see additional levels to expand on the idea and give more challenging layouts. It reminds me of the old Game & Watch games like Fire, but with a different approach behind the mechanic. |
| May 16 22:37:17 | 12m 34s | Continuous Factory | ♥ 2 | Wow! Great vibes of old 90's games like The Incredible Machine. Puzzles are solid (last one took me a minute to figure out), audio is simple, but doesn't get old. The animations are also well-suited to the art style. I'd have loved to seen perhaps an outline on the text so it's more readable when it overlaps other things on screen, but that's a minor complaint. Definitely one of the best games I've played so far. Great work! |
| May 17 21:33:05 | 22h 55m | RELEASE THE MEAT | ♥ 1 | Very reminiscent of Fantastic Contraption (which I played A... LOT...). Very entertaining game. Simple physics, and understandable rules to how things work. I really wish that hitting R to restart didn't force me to rebuild my entire vehicle. I ended up not finishing "The End" because I got very fatigued trying to rebuild my cart with a small adjustment. Outside of that, this game was great. Very enjoyable. I'll probably come back after I take a break. |
