May 2 05:28:29 Bundle Dumper: Florida Edition ♥ 3 Fun game! I found it pretty addictive even though I'm really bad at it, I kept trying but couldn't get very far. I like the sprites a lot. I think a couple tweaks to the controls could make it less frustrating, mainly being able to cancel the drop or at least flap while aiming the drop. Overall nice job!
May 2 23:30:55 18h 02m Asteroid Outlaws ♥ 3 Really good looking game, good execution on a solid concept. I found some difficulty with the thrusting when buying the main thrust upgrade, the ship was constantly spinning, but I probably just needed to change input modes. Nice work!
May 2 23:34:46 3m 51s AstroFreight ♥ 1 Cool game, i like the spraypaint looking asteroids/nebula! For some reason the music is really quiet though??
May 2 23:44:49 10m 03s TOWER CLIMB ♥ 1 I love the enemy boost mechanic and the fact that you can do it multiple times to climb, really fun! Nice job.
May 2 23:50:39 5m 50s Derry ♥ 1 The game has a great look to it, I love the animation too. Impressive that you were able to make PBR materials and stuff for a compo entry! The movement was slightly frustrating and slidey but that may be part of the challenge. Nice work overall
May 2 23:54:14 3m 35s Delivery Man ♥ 1 Animation of the player character actually looks pretty great, i love the smooth camera movement too. Only wish is that the jump height could be controlled by the amount of time the jump button is held.
May 3 00:01:46 7m 32s Signs of Corruption ♥ 1 Really fascinating game concept that I don't fully understand. I think like others have said the amount of explanation and text that you have put into the post here really needs to be a preface to the game, just simply having the verbatim explanation text in game as a tutorial would be huge. Super original though, i love it.
May 3 00:26:04 24m 18s Stand and Deliver ♥ 2 Good concept and well done even though its mostly leveraging AI, you used it well here :)
May 3 00:33:57 7m 53s BobKnight ♥ 1 I absolutely love the character portraits in dialogs, hilarious.
May 3 00:39:12 5m 15s CUBE RUNNER ♥ 1 Simple but really solid game, love the rocket league controls, was having a lot of fun trying to go fast and make tight turns and stuff :)
May 3 01:47:35 1h 08m Warmazon ♥ 3 Solid classic game! I really liked the variety of items that you implemented.
May 3 23:57:19 22h 09m Zero gravity delivery ♥ 1 Awesome concept! Its like a blend of puzzle bobble, araknoid and ikaruga. Great game.
May 4 00:07:46 10m 27s Postman Bat ♥ 2 Nice game! I finished it. I love the look of the sonar texture, its really nice. The game would have benefitted hugely from a simple flying or sonar *ping* sound effect. But nice job overall.
May 4 00:11:00 3m 14s GRAVEYARD SHIFT ♥ 2 That was fun! I agree that having to return all the way to the bottom maybe gets a little tedious, but i still enjoyed playing. I loved the song too.
May 18 05:58:21 341h 47m Medieval Package Delivery Company ♥ 3 Love the look of this game! It looks like a much better version of the aesthetic i was trying to go for on mine, i love the grass especially!
May 18 06:05:24 7m 03s Obeyzos ♥ 1 LOL i was not expecting the bezos bullet hell surprise, that was a hilarious (and impossible) ending. Nice job
May 18 06:11:04 5m 40s Deliver From the Dead ♥ 1 Nice job on this one, im really impressed with the turn based stuff, it feels like a complete game. Like you said its pretty hard, needs a bit of balance. I also couldn't figure out the pistol...does it need ammo?? Nice work overall!
May 18 06:17:42 6m 38s Xerpa Delivery ♥ 1 Really awesome game idea, its pretty fun to place ramps while you're driving, i like the dual keyboard+mouse control.
May 18 06:23:15 5m 33s Mobile Drone ♥ 0 Nice one! As others mentioned I really appreciated the tutorial as well. Voiceovers were funny and a nice touch. I think the game was straightforward all it might need is a little arrow/compass pointing to the delivery target, which can be hard to keep track of when flying high.
May 18 06:30:32 7m 17s DIVE or DIE! ♥ 1 This game has immense potential, its extremely polished for a jam entry. The atmosphere, audio, visuals and mood are really well done, it looks *fantastic*. The problem I have is simply that the game is not fun yet, mostly because its a bit too slow and the controls are a bit janky. I think if the mechanics were simplified a bit and the controls given some love, this could easily be a top 10 entry. Really nice work everyone involved on this project.
