|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2 02:45:34 | Squid Belt | ♥ 1 | Nice Asteroids like game. The rocket feels good to control. I like how the arrow rotates around the rocket to point you in the right direction. Nice simple pixel art. Good job. | |
| May 2 03:05:00 | 19m 26s | BALA!!! | ♥ 7 | Nice twist on normal kitchen server games by having you check the food that's already made instead of making it. Neat mechanics of chopsticks and tasting. The sound effects for them and plates sliding were great. I loved the chill jazzy vibe of the game. Art style is very well done but the text was a little hard to read in that font. On thing I would like if you expand this game is for the rejected dishes to come back maybe not immediately but in some sort of queue where you have to keep track of customers. Fantastic job! |
| May 2 03:15:50 | 10m 50s | COLD CHEDDAR | ♥ 4 | Great art especially on the car and it's tire marks. I love the pizza shop building and all the little food icons. I wish the car was a little easier to control but crashing it was fun. If you were to expand it it would be nice if there was some sort of gps because you just got to keep driving until you find things. Car sound effects and music fit well. Great job. |
| May 2 03:32:53 | 17m 03s | Rail Blazer | ♥ 4 | I love the art style of this game. I like seeing my little train bob up and down. Took a little bit of learning to figure out that building tracks on forest and mountains cost more money. The game is really hard so you might want to balance it a little in the future or maybe I'm just bad at it. Really dug the music a lot. Great job! |
| May 2 03:51:57 | 19m 04s | Cracken Cargo | ♥ 1 | Amazing art and spectacular music. The theme and lyrics were amazing. I was humming along. I wish the crates fell faster you have to wait a long time while they fall onto your boat. They also are too easily knocked off. Small bug: My score didn't change on replay. It was fun, I wanted to play for longer than 60 seconds. If you expand upon this game I would love for a more fleshed out mission structure. Maybe have different types of cargo. Different boat abilities and powerups would be cool too. I enjoyed the simplicity of this version though. Very well scoped for a game jam. Tentacle pickup interactions were perfect. Incredible job! |
| May 2 04:12:13 | 20m 16s | Pizza Inspection & Shipping Service | ♥ 4 | I love that you stamp the pizzas. All the sound effects are perfect but my favorite is the sizzling of the stamp. Few bugs: The stamp will glitch between 2 spots infinitely while going back to it's base if you try to pick up while it's mid stamp. The pause menu doesn't actually pause the game. The receipt goes over the bottom of the screen if it's too long. All minor bugs the game was still really fun to play. The requirements for different days was so creative. The art is super polished. I love the style of the skinny long glove hand. The phone number is really memey. Fantastic job! |
| May 2 04:24:20 | 12m 07s | Spaghetti Rails | ♥ 1 | Neat rail puzzle game. It's a little hard to control but I got used to it. I like the cozy vibe of the game. Good job. |
| May 2 04:32:36 | 8m 16s | A Blacksmith's Gift | ♥ 2 | Super creative idea to be delivering a sword with health so you don't want to use it and giving you the ability to steal weapons. If you expand upon the game I would love a walk animation, music, and a progression bar to let you know how far from the finish line you are. Different enemy types would be a cool edition too. I love the pixelated art style. It's hard but fun to play. Fantastic job! |
| May 2 04:45:31 | 12m 55s | E.T. Eats | ♥ 1 | Really fun little pico game. The ship controls felt good. I loved the art especially the smoke. I would love for you to expand and add music to elevate the vibe. Simple to learn and simple to play. Super addicting. My best score was 12. Fantastic job! picogame.PNG |
| May 2 05:00:11 | 14m 40s | MailBeats ✉️🎶 | ♥ 1 | Nicely done rhythm game. The art was very well done. Kind of a trippy visual of the sidewalk. Great visual feedback on inputs. Minor gripe the arrow keys all work but the W in WASD doesn't work even though you have A and D working. Funny music titles. Good end game stats. Great job! |
| May 2 05:36:22 | 36m 11s | Hellfire Pizza | ♥ 2 | Amazing job on this game. Adored all the character art and the limited color palette gave me Earthbound vibes. The controls were super intuitive and driving the bike felt great. I love that you go slower on off road. The camera moved super smoothly to points of interest. Dialog was super charming and funny. The vibe of this game was on point. I got the heaven ending. I don't know if there was another ending if you don't go with Dylan. If you expand on the game I would love if you added music. It would be nice if you had health because the enemies and obstacles aren't really threatening with out it. A sense of level difficultly scaling as you progressed would be great. But those are all nice to haves. This was super well polished for a jam game. Who knew hell could be so cozy. I would totally play a full game version of this. Superb job! |
| May 2 05:45:30 | 9m 08s | Unsafe Delivery Co. | ♥ 1 | Super well done pixel art and animation. Music and sound effects matched well. Super simple but cozy and satisfying game. Good job. |
| May 2 05:59:04 | 13m 34s | Parcelmecium | ♥ 2 | A little hard to get used to the controls but one you get the hang of it it's pretty fun. I adore the art style. The guy looks so derp. The click and drag slow mo is super well polished. I love that the music slows down too. Fantastic use of visual feedback. Great job! |
| May 3 01:36:47 | 19h 37m | The Bear of Bad News | ♥ 3 | This game made me laugh out loud it was so funny. The dialog was super clever and well written 4 reel dog. The pixel art and animation was so well done. The mini games were fun. I wasn't sure if there was a strategy for the 3 roars mini game. Title is perfect. Incredible job! ait imma head out |
| May 3 01:47:57 | 11m 10s | E.G.A.D.S. | ♥ 3 | Neat concept. I liked the pencil drawn style. Bug: A few times it would skip me a level ahead after 1 failed attempt. I liked all the different obstacles you had. It switched it up and kept it interesting. It was challenging but fun. Great job. |
| May 3 01:55:36 | 7m 39s | Delivery Dashers | ♥ 1 | Simple but well made game. It would be cool if you expanded it to have different types of packages worth different amounts and have different weight to them. Also it would be neat it you had specific target houses or houses worth more but are more difficult to hit. Obstacles like trees, street lights, and civilians might be cool. I liked the arch displaying your aim. Good job. |
| May 3 02:10:31 | 14m 55s | Baby Delivery Service | ♥ 1 | Neat little game jam game. With a little more time you could expand and polish this to make it into an infinite runner. Great to hear you used this jam for learning new tools and I'm glad you had fun. That's what it's all about. I had fun playing your game. Congrats on completing your first solo jam! Your next one is going to be even better. Good job! |
| May 3 02:23:11 | 12m 40s | Out of Pigeons | ♥ 2 | Clever puzzle platformer. It's a little finicky to control but the puzzles were well designed. I love the chicken animations. Great job! |
| May 3 02:37:14 | 14m 03s | Am I your "Type"? | ♥ 5 | Very cute game. The different types of cards were really neat. I actually had to strategize what my next move would be because of the different stats. It's cool that you mixed a typing game, dating sim, and card game together. Art and music really set a vibe. Fantastic job! |
| May 3 02:48:01 | 10m 47s | Sunshine Trial | ♥ 2 | I liked the art style. It kind of reminded me of Limbo. I was a little confused at first what to do for each level. I got a few levels deep though. The game kind of has a trippy vibe. Good job. |
| May 3 03:16:56 | 28m 55s | Beep Boop | ♥ 2 | Amazing art style and animation. The dialog was really clever and funny. It ended kind of abruptly I bought chocolate but never got to deliver it to my kid. It really reminded me of the old point and click adventures I used to play when I was little. This was so well done you should make a full point and click adventure game. Fantastic job! |
| May 3 03:27:34 | 10m 38s | Election Day | ♥ 1 | Fun concept. I'm not a very good typer but I swear sometimes the space bar wasn't being responsive. Still fun though. The dialog was funny and the art style was well done. Great job! |
| May 3 03:35:08 | 7m 34s | Ninth live | ♥ 1 | Cool spooky vibe. Simple but well done game. It was a little too hard for me though. Couldn't quite get the correct combo of paddle and light. Nice art and sound. Good job. |
| May 3 03:51:26 | 16m 18s | Parcel Panic | ♥ 1 | Super well polished game. Art is simple but neat. It matched well with the vibe of the game. I loved the explosion sound with the screen shake and the bright light when delivering bombs. I laughed out loud the first time it happened. The controls are a little finicking with the click and hold to pickup and the bounds of the edges of the truck felt a little off. I would rather it have been click to pickup and click to drop because it felt like it wasn't releasing when I wanted it to. All minor gripes. The game was very addicting to play. Spectacular job! This was my best attempt packagebomb.PNG |
| May 3 04:07:13 | 15m 47s | Special Delivery | ♥ 3 | Nice to see a different take on the theme. I with there was less time between choices. Sometimes it felt like reading a short story rather than playing a game but I don't play visual novels very often. Very moody. The music and art fit well. Good job. |
| May 3 04:18:02 | 10m 49s | TukTuk Delivery | ♥ 1 | Nice simple but cozy art style. I was fighting the car controls and the camera a little bit but it was still fun. I really liked the compass a lot. The UI was very well done. Good job. |
| May 3 04:40:49 | 22m 47s | Ultimate Package | ♥ 4 | Funny game. I love that the tower you climb through is entirely made out of duct taped together boxes. The boss fight was a little wonky I wasn't sure if I was doing the right thing but I eventually won. If you were to expand this game maybe add some more visual feedback. The guy you play as looks like the host from that old Cartoon Network show Destroy Build Destroy. Dialog and story were super silly. Gave me a chuckle. Good job. |
| May 3 05:21:51 | 41m 02s | Inbox Fool | ♥ 2 | Perfect entry. Really blew me away. Clever dialog hilariously delivered with perfect timing. The visuals were insanely well polished and the music was an absolute banger. The puzzle design flawlessly executed to teach then become more challenging as you progress. The mechanic of dragging around the bounds was incredibly unique. And somehow you still had time to make a great boss fight. I don't know how you do it man. I almost immediately recognized that you were the guy that did Watch Out for LD51. It's so cool you do every one. Excited to play your next game. Spectacular job! |
| May 3 05:41:43 | 19m 52s | Olith | ♥ 1 | Super great job on the mood. The visuals, music, and gameplay feel all meshed together really well. Very challenging but fun game. The map kind of reminded me of Ori and the Blind Forest. Fantastic job! |
| May 3 05:48:04 | 6m 21s | Jitto | ♥ 0 | Neat Game and Watch game. Really dug the old handheld game visual. Simple but fun. Great job! |
| May 3 06:14:48 | 26m 44s | Broomstick Post | ♥ 2 | Absolutely adorable game. It felt so cozy. The art and music really made it. The characters were so sweet. Great job! |
| May 4 00:05:15 | 17h 50m | Kingdom Post | ♥ 1 | I like the pixelated art style. I was a little confused because I wasn't receiving coins on any of my deliveries. Music was good. It's a little hard to follow. Maybe if you expand your work on it make a tutorial in game. Moving around the map and clicking on things felt good. Good use of visual feedback. Good job. |
| May 4 00:13:21 | 8m 06s | Hungry Creatures | ♥ 3 | Neat concept but the controls need a rework in my opinion. I kept miss-clicking a lot. Having the tutorial be spread around the map in no particular order was a little confusing. Maybe look into numbering them. Being able to place routes was cool and seeing the car go slower on certain terrain or weave through trees was cool. Good job. |
| May 4 00:18:32 | 5m 11s | On Time | ♥ 1 | Neat little arcade game. Would be cool if you updated it with a background and some music. Good job. |
| May 4 00:25:36 | 7m 04s | Delivery! NYC | ♥ 2 | You got to watch out for those D trains. Very silly game. Got a chuckle from me. Good job. |
| May 4 00:35:03 | 9m 27s | Uberroo | ♥ 2 | Nice delivery game. The phone popup visual was good. I liked all the fake restaurant chain names. It would be nice if you added a visual like a bar for your speed boost. Maybe make a neighborhood layout. The seagulls attacking was funny. Good job. |
| May 4 00:40:50 | 5m 47s | Pro Epistula Mori | ♥ 0 | Very clever game. Love the style. Art and sound are on point. Music is good too. The game buildings in difficulty very well with the new kinds of attacks. Great job! |
| May 4 00:48:07 | 7m 17s | Pizza Survivors | ♥ 1 | Cheese whip is best weapon especially when you get 2. Neat bullet hell game. Good job. |
| May 4 04:46:29 | 3h 58m | Lexicon | ♥ 3 | Really unique idea. The line drawing sounds and it recognizing your writing is really neat. Flipping through you notes to memorize the language is so well done. The art, music, and sound effects really set a cool sci-fi mood. Fantastic job! |
| May 4 05:00:17 | 13m 48s | Light My Fire | ♥ 4 | Neat platform runner. Minor gripe: Space is restart level but also throw fire so whenever you respawn you throw a little fire. Might want to switch that to a different button or change it so fire isn't thrown if space bar is already down. I was surprised every time I passed the torch and there was all new art the next level. Music got me in the zone. Great job! |
| May 4 05:18:57 | 18m 40s | Warehouse Tycoon | ♥ 1 | Incredibly well scoped and polished jam game. Was activating the Tetris part of my brain. Amazing art and wonderful visual and audio feedback for interactions. The sound effects and art together set such a great mood. I wish there was music to go with it but honestly it was great with the just the hum of the truck and the tactile sounds of the buttons and boxes. I love the cool color scheme for the background. It really made the boxes pop. Fantastic job! This was my score: boxes.PNG |
| May 4 05:32:12 | 13m 15s | eelBay | ♥ 3 | Amazing art in this game. The music and sound effects paired with it really set a cozy vibe. I found the puzzles however to be too difficult for me but I understood what I was supposed to do. Maybe add easier levels to teach people good strategies before they make eel soup out of the puzzle like me. Still thoroughly enjoyed it though. Fantastic job! |
| May 4 05:41:32 | 9m 20s | Liver Die | ♥ 3 | Super creative use of theme. I love the effect you do when the title pops up. Great logo. Leader board was a nice touch. It would be cool if there was more variety in the dialog people say. I love the ragdoll and blood effects. Super silly but fun game. Got a laugh from me. Having x-ray liver vision is amazing. Fantastic job! |
| May 4 05:52:16 | 10m 44s | Pigeon Post | ♥ 1 | This game is so well polished it's insane. The art and animation are wonderful. The music and sound effects set a great mood. I really had to strategize and double check the notes and the weight the letters to get everything right. You should definitely make this into a full game. Incredible job! |
| May 4 06:02:50 | 10m 34s | An't it here yet | ♥ 1 | The art and animation in this game is wonderfully well done. I love their little ant voices and the music was really great. The control scheme was a little weird having 'A' be interact on keyboard but that's my only gripe. Super polished. Fantastic job! |
| May 4 06:14:16 | 11m 26s | The last help | ♥ 1 | Neat platformer game. Interesting take on the theme. Art style reminded me of Thomas was Alone. Catchy music. Good job. |
| May 4 23:21:55 | 17h 07m | Theater of the Dead | ♥ 3 | Neat game playing basically an Alamo Drafthouse server. I liked the level design layout with the different colored rooms. I really liked the vibe of the game. The music with the simple but clean art style blended well together. The silent films playing on screen was a nice touch. The echo effect you did on the voice over was great too. Would be nice if you could rotate your plate to carry more things at once. The popcorn machine didn't work but I assume you just ran out of time. It would be great if you expanded this with more features into a full game. Great job! |
| May 4 23:37:32 | 15m 37s | 26 Minutes or Less | ♥ 1 | Funny dialog. I thought it was just a text game until the first fight. I liked the combat. It was simple but still required some strategy. Good job. |
| May 4 23:44:04 | 6m 32s | FoodEx | ♥ 2 | I liked the simple graphics and driving the truck actually felt really good. The customers can collide with the truck they started to shove me into a wall. I might have been better to turn off collision on them. If you expand the game it would be cool to add ragdoll and other game features. Great job! |
| May 5 00:04:45 | 20m 41s | MagiCat | ♥ 1 | The art style is absolutely wonderful. It sets such a great medieval play vibe. I found the game kind of complex and hard to understand but I really liked the concept. I think with better tutorialization and an easier starting point you have something really special here. Great job! |
| May 5 00:16:31 | 11m 46s | Delivered With Care. | ♥ 4 | Wow really creative use of theme. I love the puzzle mechanic of the box giving you a double jump but you can't jump while holding it. The character felt really good to jump around and slide with. The simple drawn art style is really great and the animations are so smooth. I wish there was some music it would really tie this whole thing together. Very well thought out and polished game. Fantastic job! |
| May 5 00:54:54 | 38m 23s | The Mailman | ♥ 1 | Very well made beat em up. I like the motorbike power up. Really polished and well done. Great retro mood with the art and music. Great job! |
| May 5 01:08:47 | 13m 53s | Orbit Express | ♥ 2 | Super polished game. At first I thought the drop zone was the entire green ring and that the drop zone was asteroids I should avoid. You might want to change the visual on that if you continue to expand the game. Other space ships and space debris would be a fun addition. The game controls so well that anytime I died I knew it was my own fault. The art is wonderful and mixed with the sound and music makes a great mood. Fantastic job! |
| May 5 01:17:48 | 9m 01s | Spider Sorter | ♥ 1 | Really fun simple game. I wish it ramped up faster as it took awhile to get challenging. I really like the art. The only thing that was missing was sound effects and music. It would have brought it to the next level. Would love to see this expanded with sound and more levels. Fantastic job! 37 was my best. spider.PNG |
| May 5 01:32:09 | 14m 21s | Game Genie: Crunch Time | ♥ 3 | Man I can't believe you fit so much into this game. Amazing vibe with the outstanding visuals and catchy music. I love how retro everything was. It was a little weird you had no health but but I'm glad because the game would a have been really hard. Maybe regenerating health would have been cool. Dialog was funny and the tutorial(that you actually had time for) was great. Loved the 5th element reference Big Bada Boom. Fantastic job! |
| May 5 05:15:00 | 3h 42m | Delivery Survivor | ♥ 2 | Neat little game. I was a little confused where I was supposed to go and that I could buy upgrades. If the tutorial had pictures or diagrams it would help a lot. I like the art style. The sword attack and the circle glow effects looked cool. Good job. |
| May 12 05:27:26 | 168h 12m | IT'S ALIVE | ♥ 2 | I'm really "digging" the art style. Great camera movement. I love that you can see the lab below. I wish there was a little more to the gameplay but its well scoped for a game jam. Aiming the throw is kind of hard. Timer is kind of fast but I might just be bad at the game. Music is good but I would have liked interaction and feedback sound effects too. Very moody. Great job! |
| May 12 06:17:58 | 50m 32s | Debbie's Diner Derby | ♥ 0 | Incredible art and animation. The characters are so cute. Environments are eye candy. I adore the skate trails effect. UI is amazing. I love the menu. Wonderful music and sound effects. The game is so charming and super polished. The game is too hard. I got one star for every level except 1, 2, and 7. I think if you zoom the camera out just a little bit and center the skate girl on the screen from her feet instead of her body it will make it much easier. It's easier to go up than it is to go down. The collider edges were a little hard to tell sometimes. Some of the levels are very memorable but a lot of them blend together and don't feel very different. It would be really cool if you expanded this further with more environmental variables and other gameplay elements to make levels more memorable. Like you go faster on hard wood vs carpet. Indoor dining vs outdoor dining. Different foods effect you movement. Multiple floors with elevators or ramps/stairs. Launch pads. More enemy types. This game is so well done I don't know how you pulled it off but congrats. Terrific job! You should be very proud. |
| May 12 06:35:07 | 17m 09s | Fed Up Delivery | ♥ 1 | Really creative game. The windshield filling up with boxing rattling around blocking your view is such a great idea. Good job on the physics. I loved the food mechanic getting in the way of your deliveries. Throwing out the packages left or right both seemed to work. I was unsure if you were only supposed to throw right when the stop was on your right. Same with left. I would be nice if the packages were labeled for specific locations. The camera movement worked very well. Driving felt good though I wish there was a break button that was separate from reverse. Art style is simple yet charming. Music and sound effects worked well. As for the title of your game, great minds think alike. Fantastic job! |
| May 12 06:45:53 | 10m 46s | Bullet Worm | ♥ 1 | I love the simple but colorful and entrancing art style. Game is easy to learn and chill. I like that you can cycle through the songs. I wish there was a compass pointing towards the delivery spot because I got lost. It also would be nice if you added more enemy types. The black squares were pretty easy to avoid. Great job! |
| May 20 14:39:58 | 199h 54m | The Ferryman | ♥ 1 | Nice point in click adventure. The game is a little dark and the areas you can click should be a little more forgiving but it was still a good time. Very moody. Good job. |
