May 5 00:17:03 Holding Out ♥ 1 Screenshot 2023-05-04 170746.png Just getting started on my games rating sweep and had to start with the illustrious Jeremy Ryan AKA plasmastarfish! Solid entry dude! The pic is from my first attempt, guessing there is no end game? It was frustrating to have to wait on hold (of course!) but I thought your spin on the delivery theme was pretty unique! I am a HUGE fan of Enter the Gungeon so as soon as I saw your entry I knew I had to give it a try. Impressive balancing from what I could see too! Definitely going to play again and see if I can beat this score (also, I think I've figured out the strat but I won't spoil it hehe). As far as the cat ears on inanimate objects I could find: the reticle, the coffee mug, the phone, the headphones, nametag, window, and floor tile... I guess I'm missing just one! Game seems super polished from the perspective of movement, kinesthetics, sound effects, varying music track and simple controls that have the tutorial lying on the floor, how creative! I know this is a compo entry so the only thing I have to critique is that I wish there was more! Great job again, excited to see how you rank up this time around. Peace out 😎
May 5 00:48:08 31m 05s Bundle Beeline ♥ 0 Hey team, impressive entry! Also, Squidly, I recognize you from Renaine game, been following that project on Twitter! Cool to see the team competing in game jams. Really love the pixel art (nice chunky outline and color scheme) and the music. The SFX and environment all felt compelling, especially with the little villagers having dialogue after you delivered a package, reminded me of Animal Crossing a little bit and thought it was really cute 😆 As mentioned, I did struggle with the controls a bit. Doesn't seem like I could drop down through platforms when I sorta expected to given the nature of it being a platformer. Also, the overall movement seemed a bit laggy. I sense there is some mastery to be gained, so I want to come back and try again with a gamepad soon. All in all, really solid entry and I imagine your team will rank really well. Good work!
May 5 01:07:54 19m 46s Kirk's Food Delivery Game ♥ 1 Awesome compo entry Kirk! This seems like another one of your classic jam entries: a unique control scheme / gimmick that you could easily build into a commercial release. My first attempt was 4 min 15 seconds 😬 but now that I've figured out how to dash I'm gonna finish way faster next time haha! There seems to be a little jank when you land in the lava for example and get stuck for a bit, I think that's the intended mechanic but it didn't translate well for me. Nonetheless very impressive entry for a compo, would love to see this game expanded out to have more levels. I'd pick it up on Steam like I did with Cardhoard too! Love the SFX on the submarine btw. Great job Kirk :D
