| May 1 21:27:33 | Don't Send Me a Puddle | ♥ 1 | Very unusual! A solid entry for a first game. The tutorial was very helpful and the gameplay itself is intriguing. I haven't seen anything like it. One way to improve the game is to decrease the difficulty in the first few levels. It was hard to make progress. Even so, a fun, imaginative game. Nice work. | |
| May 1 22:06:51 | 39m 18s | Pizza Time | ♥ 2 | A unique puzzle game. It's educational to think about the spaces. Challenging but not impossible. I reached Level 6-7, I believe. The graphics are very good and the music is upbeat and entertaining. This game is good for teaching people how to think and make connections. |
| May 1 22:25:25 | 18m 34s | MindWave: Unraveling Memories | ♥ 2 | Very good graphics and music. The background story is very interesting. The puzzles are challenging enough but I couldn't find a way to reset a level in the HTML version. This is the biggest drawback. Also, the connection with the theme is tenuous. Otherwise, an unusual game with an remarkable storyline. |
| May 8 21:14:51 | 166h 49m | Deliver Us From Evil | ♥ 2 | The graphics are superb and the music is jolly and upbeat. Like others I had trouble with the mechanics. In one case I threw the cheese and it just got stuck at the top of the screen. I wish there were a simpler interface for giving items. But other than that this game has a lot of potential. Mood and humor are excellent. |
| May 8 21:29:28 | 14m 37s | The Deliverer | ♥ 1 | A fun game. Kept getting beat on the second level though. Maybe I just need to keep trying. Graphics are appealing and the music is upbeat and fits the gameplay. It was fun getting new weapons and rescuing the damsel in distress. Not sure how it fits the theme, aside from the brief explanation, however. Even so, a solid entry. Nice work. |
| May 15 20:08:30 | 166h 39m | Apricot Kernel | ♥ 1 | A remarkable game for PICO-8 — you’ve created a little world and populated it with strange characters. Some of the levels are beautiful — e.g., Level 6. It is a very good use of pixel art. As for Christian art — it is violent but that is the point. How else can you depict crucifixion? But depressing, no, not at all, if you read it the right way. One improvement you could make is to reduce the text — I think the game would be more fun with concise dialogue. Then, each word carries more weight. That being said, overall it’s a very imaginative game. |
| May 15 20:20:51 | 12m 21s | Isles Express | ♥ 1 | This one sure as heck is difficult — controls are beyond my ken. The throttle was easy enough but the rudder I constantly wrestled with. I was able to steer somewhat, get gas and get some goods, but coulnd’t win. An innovative game with appealing graphics and sound nonetheless. |
| May 15 21:00:39 | 39m 48s | TIFY Boxes | ♥ 1 | Yes, I agree, some conspiracy theories are factual. The ending has a useful message. History is full of conspiracies. Anyway, a very moody and perhaps even surreal game. The music is very impressive, and it fits the story line very well - the best part of the game. I like the raw, edgy graphics as well. Nice work. |
| May 15 21:17:12 | 16m 33s | Lost & Found | ♥ 1 | I like the music in this game very much. The graphics and lighting are also impressive. It took me a while to figure out how to fend off the ghosts; couldn't find the instructions for that control. It was found by accident. It was difficult to stay alive, but managed to deliver a few things and level up. |
| May 15 21:32:57 | 15m 45s | Sheep Delivery | ♥ 1 | I kept thinking of Pac-Man, as if I were gobbling sheep instead of dots. Oddly, a pleasant feeling. The sound effects are strangely appealing, and they add a lot to the game. Did it in 6:55. Fun! A good use of PICO-8. |
| May 15 21:51:43 | 18m 46s | Icy Porch | ♥ 1 | A fun game. I usually don't like puzzle games like these but this one is exceptional. Not too difficult but challenging. The music fits the gameplay well. I like the graphics too; the transitional screens are especially impressive. A solid entry. |
| May 15 22:05:49 | 14m 06s | Night Rider | ♥ 2 | I was reminded a bit of Night Driver, the Atari 2600 game. It took me a while to figure out what I had to do, but then it became smooth sailing. One way to improve this game is to make it impossible for the car to go off-road (it seems I could go anywhere on the map). Music could also use some variety. Just some suggestions if you want to develop this game further. Other than that, the controls are intuitive and it was challenging trying to get the delivery done in time without running out of gas. |
| May 15 22:17:39 | 11m 50s | Alien Postal Service | ♥ 1 | A strange creature in a strange game. Physics work well enough. I was able to get past the first level, then got stuck. Unusual mechanics and game-play — you did well in Innovation. Music fits the ambiance. |
| May 15 22:24:20 | 6m 41s | Brunnen | ♥ 1 | Try as I might I could not get the bird to fly. I like the mood and graphics, however, and the sound fits the gameplay. The game has a lot of potential. |
| May 16 02:12:54 | 3h 48m | Delivery Man | ♥ 1 | I love the black and white aesthetic in this game, and its simplicity. A breath of fresh air this game is. Nice work. |
| May 16 12:16:36 | 10h 03m | Causality Couriers | ♥ 1 | The Egyptians had “highly advanced knowledge of mathematics and especially geometry” — this is very true, but sadly overlooked nowadays. It’s good to see it recognized here. I also like the artwork in this game. It brings to mind Jean Giraud/Mœbius of _Métal Hurlant_ fame. The multiple endings and the overall mood of this game remind me of the _Choose Your Own Adventure_ books from way back when. It seems that the far future and distant past serve as bookends here. |
| May 16 12:41:10 | 24m 34s | Haunted Heights: Tower Delivery Service | ♥ 3 | A challenging running/jumping game. Very unusual mechanics — I like the idea of having the packages serve as instruments for delivery. The difficulty of this game is beyond my ken, alas, but nonetheless I find the graphics and music to be very appealing. Together they create a wonderful mood. A solid entry that no doubt will rank well in the end. |
| May 16 13:01:55 | 20m 45s | Push! Toot Boosting | ♥ 1 | I love the art style of this game. It has a raw, surreal feel to it. The mom in her room — this image in itself is a work of art. The music is good as well. It’s relaxing to watch the baby bounce around, listening to the music. In a way, it’s like life: one bounces and rolls until one stops. What happens afterward? Perhaps a sequel to this game can answer that question. |
| May 16 13:17:36 | 15m 41s | Thou Lines | ♥ 0 | A fun and innovative game. It took me a while to figure it out, but once I did, it felt right, somehow. A breath of fresh air, and a chance to sharpen one’s wits. Music and graphics are both well done. Nice work. |
| May 16 13:49:27 | 31m 51s | ΗΠΛ Debate Club | ♥ 2 | So, Ava, you are a philosopher. I should have known. Brilliant game you have here — as if ethos, pathos, and logos constitute a musical instrument that woos the audience. I aspire to make a game with so much insight. It would be good to see how truth fits in here — if you develop this game then you could have that be the basis of the other three. Logos depends on its starting point. Anyway, one of the best games here. Nice work my dear. |
| May 17 03:22:03 | 13h 32m | The Delivery | ♥ 1 | I love the art style of this game, and the mood is indeed magical, as others have pointed out here. Certainly no nerdrage on my part. Good job for your first entry. Hope to see more from you in future jams. |
| May 18 15:17:45 | 35h 55m | Return to sender | ♥ 0 | Music and artwork in this game are fantastic. Interesting story-line as well. I would have preferred a more human-like ghost, but that's just me. Overall, a solid entry. Nice work. |
