| May 1 08:27:02 | AstroNews Dispatch | ♥ 1 | I like this in general, but I find the motion of the background disorienting. | |
| May 1 08:36:28 | 9m 26s | Le Laitier | ♥ 3 | I like the sliding mechanics. The atmosphere is really good, too. |
| May 1 14:52:11 | 6h 15m | Merge Barge | ♥ 1 | This game is great! There is a surprising amount of strategy required to manage the space and fuel. The audio fits the game really well too. One small nitpick is that it is a little jarring and confusing at first when the game stops if the mouse hovers over a smog cloud. It would happen at random times as the smog went under my mouse, and for a split second I would think the game froze. Maybe you could just pause one time at the beginning to introduce the smog. This is a nitpick though. I really enjoyed the game. |
| May 1 15:26:12 | 34m 01s | Watching | ♥ 0 | The enemies are super creepy and I really want to shoot them all. I would like to see what this game would be like after developing it further. A couple of points of feedback for you: 1. I think this would be better with mouse controls rather than just keyboard. Along the same lines, the enemy hit boxes seem too big. I think changing to mouse controls and tightening the enemy hit boxes will go a long way toward improving the feel of the game. If you want to keep keyboard controls, consider adding some smoothing to the motion. 2. It gets repetitive pretty quick. Understanding that this was made in a very short time, if you develop this further, I recommend adding more variety of enemies, weapons, etc. to keep it interesting. 3. The transitions are a little harsh, particularly when the scene changed. Also, I think the boss fight could be improved with some signaling to let the player know what type of attack is coming. When it changed from the sweeping attack to the targeted attack, there was no indication that the behavior was going to change. As a result, it felt a little cheap when I got hit by the first targeted attack. |
| May 1 15:37:52 | 11m 40s | Skyway Delivery | ♥ 2 | I like the looks a lot. The colors used in the buildings are especially nice. I think it could be even better with some attention to the lighting. The camera pointing to the next objective is a great touch that helped keep me oriented the entire time. I feel the pausing/locking the player controls until I press enter is unnecessary. As others have mentioned, the controls are not immediately obvious, so giving the player some instruction at the beginning would go a long way. |
| May 1 16:02:53 | 25m 01s | Spirit Mail | ♥ 2 | Amazing! Beautiful world. I love the entire concept behind the story, and the ending is very touching. I have no idea how you created this in such a short time. Bravo. Minor nitpicks: some of the interact prompts are difficult to activate. Also, the signposts could be improved by displaying the text without activating them. |
| May 1 16:20:26 | 17m 33s | The Silver Fleet | ♥ 1 | This is a fun game. Good variety of enemies that are visually distinct from one another, and the upgrade system is a nice touch. |
| May 1 16:40:53 | 20m 27s | soul sender | ♥ 1 | Controls are difficult, but interesting. Really like the art style. Good choice of color palette. |
| May 2 04:14:38 | 11h 33m | Thou Lines | ♥ 3 | I also had the idea of this interpretation of delivery, but I could not think of a way to make a game out of it. This is a fun game, and it has a good range of difficulty. The hardest level is really hard. The music is also very catchy. |
| May 2 04:23:20 | 8m 42s | Harpoon Lagoon | ♥ 3 | This is a very chill game, and I like it. I could listen to the music for a long time without getting tired of it. |
| May 2 04:29:41 | 6m 21s | Winged Delivery | ♥ 2 | Fun, simple game. Good job |
| May 2 04:51:03 | 21m 22s | Supply Heroes | ♥ 3 | I am not very good at it, but it is a lot of fun. The game looks great and has great sound effects. It is an interesting interpretation of the theme also. |
| May 2 05:16:05 | 25m 02s | Supply Line Simulator | ♥ 2 | Fun game. I did not consider a strategy game with this theme, but it works. Some indication of when a unit is running low on supplies would be helpful |
| May 2 05:26:51 | 10m 46s | Special Delivery | ♥ 1 | Great game. I love the pixel art, especially all the animations and little details. The audio is really good too. It fit the game perfectly. The mechanics are simple to learn, but harder to master. Very well done. |
| May 2 05:48:33 | 21m 42s | Delivering Better Worlds | ♥ 4 | A good, fresh take on a classic. It's a fun game. |
| May 3 01:33:31 | 19h 44m | Dispatchers | ♥ 1 | This is a very fun game. The difficulty really ramps up! I think the levels are really well designed, and I like that the player has to take the length of the paths into account to solve the puzzles. The music is very relaxing too and highlights the casual nature of the game. Great design and well executed. As far s feedback, I agree with others that allowing the player to delete the paths we place would be a nice qol improvement. |
| May 3 03:16:36 | 1h 43m | Parcel Panic | ♥ 1 | This is a fun game. I made it to 2:44, and it felt very panicky at the end. The gameplay is well done, and the audio is really good. |
| May 3 03:56:28 | 39m 52s | Days on the Lake | ♥ 3 | I love the pixelated graphics combined with the water physics. The boat was genuinely fun to drive, and the upgrades were pretty well thought out. I was not able to buy the gun or the cannon, though. I had enough money, but clicking on either one would do nothing. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or if it's a bug. Still had a ton of fun. Great entry. |
| May 3 04:07:09 | 10m 41s | FredEx | ♥ 1 | hilariously difficult. I managed to get to the third guy, but I think his TV fell off at the beginning, so all I had left was a mattress. The art style fits the mechanics perfectly, as do the sounds. |
| May 6 05:17:21 | 73h 10m | Drone Diner Dash | ♥ 1 | This is a fun game. I played for longer than most other games I have played so far. The controls are simple to learn but difficult to master. |
