| May 1 05:41:57 | Sheep Delivery | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! The audio is catchy and you nailed the retro style. I like the take on the theme about delivering baby sheep. I think it would help make the gameplay feel more innovative if you emphasized the sheep number-matching/breeding mechanic. There could probably be some fun strategy elements there. Awesome job on completing the compo! | |
| May 1 05:57:48 | 15m 51s | POSTMAN | ♥ 2 | This game was a ton of fun to play through! I'm always impressed to see a compo entry with all the polish and excellent puzzle design as you've done here. The difficulty curve ramped up gradually enough where I never felt totally lost, but there was still a few times I had to think it out and then have those eureka moments. My one critique is the on-screen control icons seemed to be for a controller, so they weren't too helpful to me since I used a keyboard. I had to keep checking the game description for my controls, which took me out of the experience a bit. Not sure if it would be simple to check the player's input device and show a different UI accordingly, but that's one idea to make it even more seamless. Awesome job with this game and thanks for sharing it! |
| May 1 06:06:37 | 8m 49s | SMTP | ♥ 1 | Very beautiful, relaxing game! I really like the tranquil atmosphere and your take on the theme is clever as well. I found the difficulty ramped up pretty quick after a couple of minutes. I feel like this mechanic would be especially suited for a touch-screen interface! |
| May 1 06:15:51 | 9m 14s | Oregon Truck | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! You really captured the style of the classic Oregon Trail quite well. (I chuckled at your comment in the description about the square-wave music, it was a bit gnarly haha) |
| May 1 06:28:17 | 12m 26s | K-SANDWICH | ♥ 1 | This game is a blast to play! I love the crazy physics from getting pulled across the map by my own punch and you've built some clever puzzles with it. I'm impressed by how polished this entry feels, between the excellent music/sfx and the little things like camera shake. Great job! |
| May 2 00:50:19 | 18h 22m | Orbo's Way Home | ♥ 3 | I really like the mechanic of your light source being an NPC that you have to protect, great job! |
| May 2 00:56:51 | 6m 32s | Postal Pandemonium | ♥ 1 | Would love to play this! The page becomes unresponsive for me when I go to the itch.io link. |
| May 2 00:57:50 | 59s | Ludum Dare 53 | ♥ 1 | I'm getting a 404 at that itch.io link. |
| May 2 01:03:47 | 5m 57s | Out of Time | ♥ 1 | The graphics are really cool! It was fun to explore the world, even if there aren't many things to do yet. If you make a post-jam version I would love to play it! |
| May 2 01:09:14 | 5m 27s | Bullet Worm | ♥ 3 | The gameplay is a fun twist on the classic snake-style game, I like it! The graphics are very nice as well. Great job! |
| May 2 07:33:15 | 6h 24m | The Pigeon Post Principle | ♥ 4 | Such a fun and polished puzzle game! The music and graphics were really charming. Amazing work! |
| May 2 07:41:35 | 8m 20s | Hungry Creatures | ♥ 3 | The visuals are really awesome! I like the concept of plotting routes around this fantasy land. I found it a little challenging to figure out where to go around the map, it would be cool to have some kind of visual indication. :) |
| May 2 20:00:14 | 12h 18m | Hungerztec Games | ♥ 2 | I really like the Aztec-type art style! It feels like some kind of mystical board game. I always love to see jam games that come up with an innovative new puzzle. I found it a bit tough to figure out the rules, but I think if you added some sort of in-game tutorial it would make it easier. Nice job! |
| May 2 20:20:11 | 19m 57s | DO NOT OPEN THE LETTER | ♥ 2 | This is a very unique and cool game! The dialog, art, and music all combined to make a creepy and immersive aesthetic. I had a great time playing it. Awesome job! |
| May 2 20:25:16 | 5m 05s | Package Deal | ♥ 3 | Really fun and polished game with a unique puzzle mechanic! Awesome job. |
| May 3 00:31:55 | 4h 06m | Spuggy's Pizza Delivery | ♥ 1 | Awesome job doing all of this in a compo! The city looks great and it's fun to drive around. The only things I might suggest for the future are decreasing the turn radius to make it a bit easier to steer and also I noticed my money went back down to zero after every round--not sure if that's intentional but I was hoping to save up for some upgrades :) EDIT: Forgot to mention, I love the subtle animation of the guy leaning on the bike when you turn. Great touch! |
| May 3 00:48:07 | 16m 12s | BANKWAVE: Neon Networth | ♥ 4 | The music, art, and dialogue for this game are all incredible! Feels like a retro Papers Please. I would've loved to see a bit more feedback in response to my actions. I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to do with the slips, so I eventually just started pressing next and let the money pile up. I hope you keep working on this game after the jam, I'd love to see where it goes! |
| May 3 05:11:35 | 4h 23m | Ultimate Package | ♥ 4 | Great game! I'm especially impressed by how much quality music there is for a compo entry. Really enjoyed the unique concept as well. |
| May 3 05:24:50 | 13m 15s | Space Express | ♥ 2 | This game hooked me for a long time! I love the puzzle design with the orbits, it's super fresh and fun to play. The music and art are great as well. The only change I'd suggest is checkpoints along the way - it was pretty tough to go back to the beginning every time I lost (which was a lot haha). Awesome job! |
| May 3 05:38:37 | 13m 47s | Sender Not Found | ♥ 1 | Very cool game. You told a really compelling story through a fun and unique experience. I've never felt so creeped out by emails before. Awesome job! |
| May 3 05:45:59 | 7m 22s | Postman | ♥ 1 | Very cool puzzle mechanic! It took me a bit to figure out but then it was pretty intuitive. Awesome job! |
| May 3 05:52:33 | 6m 34s | Starlighter | ♥ 0 | This is a great game! The music is great and really adds to the atmosphere of the game. The gameplay is a lot of fun too -- I love the quick rounds that make you want to just keep retrying. |
| May 4 05:47:02 | 23h 54m | Midnight Muffin Delivery Service | ♥ 1 | Very calming and pretty game. The music and art really add to the atmosphere. The gameplay is pretty intuitive to pick up as well. If you wanted to develop it further, it would be awesome to be able to deploy powerups or something to make it easier to hit the money in the sky (I missed just about every time haha). Great job! |
| May 4 05:52:42 | 5m 40s | You Hate Mail | ♥ 1 | The gameplay is really fun! I love this take on the theme, and the comments that popped up every so often had me cracking up. Nice music and art as well! |
| May 4 05:56:39 | 3m 57s | Bord | ♥ 0 | Nice game! I thought the mechanic of the bird getting knocked off your head and having to go get it was pretty clever (although I found it tough to actually grab him haha) |
| May 4 06:07:12 | 10m 33s | Hound Dog Delivery | ♥ 1 | Really fun platformer with some innovative mechanics! The race stage was especially challenging but a blast to play. Nice job!! |
| May 4 06:22:56 | 15m 44s | Love at First Slice | ♥ 1 | This is a really fun and charming game. The story was lovely and had me hooked until the end. The gameplay was relaxing as well. |
| May 4 06:31:24 | 8m 28s | Cyberwurm | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is a really fun and unique mechanic! I like the challenge of trying to block the enemies and how it gets more difficult as you collect more eggs. I didn't realize you could defend against the enemies until I read another comment here, so one thing you might consider adding if you want to work on this game more is a tutorial! Nice job :) |
| May 4 06:40:57 | 9m 33s | Am I your "Type"? | ♥ 4 | Really great visuals and unique gameplay, nice job! |
| May 5 03:49:59 | 21h 09m | T.I.M.E | ♥ 3 | This game is a ton of fun to play! The music, dialogue, art, everything is so polished. Awesome job! |
| May 5 04:05:34 | 15m 35s | Air Delivery | ♥ 1 | Beautiful game! The music and art were very nice. The storytelling was also great--I loved the hints that there was a vast and mysterious world beyond this island. It all captured a sense of wonder that's really impressive for any game, let alone a compo entry. Awesome job! |
| May 5 04:21:10 | 15m 36s | QWOPcopter | ♥ 4 | Very tough, but a lot of fun to play and a great original concept! |
| May 5 05:44:10 | 1h 23m | Crystallium | ♥ 1 | Great game! The gameplay is a lot of fun and has great replayability. The graphics are very sleek. It wasn't super clear to me what the different items/zones I could run into were doing, so I might suggest adding a label or something in-game to make that clearer if you wanted to keep working on this game. Awesome job and thanks for sharing! |
| May 5 05:52:57 | 8m 47s | 30 Minutes Or Your Potion's Free | ♥ 1 | Very impressive amount of content for the compo, awesome job! Fun deckbuilding game. |
| May 6 23:57:11 | 42h 04m | Poop's Delivery Service | ♥ 1 | Fun gameplay! The rounds are short enough that I kept wanting to retry and beat my score. Nice job! |
| May 7 00:03:08 | 5m 57s | Brass Monkeys | ♥ 1 | I love the hectic ship battle scene! The art, music, sound effects, and explosions all combine really well to drive the action. The gameplay is fun and easy to pick up as well. Great job! |
| May 7 22:15:57 | 22h 12m | Chain Mail | ♥ 0 | This game is incredible! I love the concept of managing a courier guild and having to deliver packages in treacherous fantasy situations. It's a lot of fun to play (although a bit easy, but totally understandable for a jam entry)! The music, art, and writing are all fantastic. Great work! |
| May 7 22:26:39 | 10m 42s | Kingdom Post | ♥ 1 | Very cool concept! The map and visuals are excellent. I got tripped up at times trying to set a route for my deliveries, but there's an impressive amount of gameplay here. Awesome job! |
