| May 3 23:34:40 | Elevander of the Emu Express | ♥ 1 | The game just looks amazing and the dash/fly mechanics are perfect imo. I did not like how often I hit my head on things, it would have been nice to have a little bit more head room in a few spots for me. But on the flip side, feeling like a lot of punishment up front makes you learn fast. Despite seeing several other people play it first, it was still very engaging to play and fun figuring out where and how to get the deliveries done. Scored 6,333 on first Normal play. | |
| May 3 23:50:21 | 15m 41s | Package Punk | ♥ 1 | So far a personal high score of 7. 8 feels within reach for me but I'll need to try several more times. The game looks and feels pretty great. This is one of those games when I see others play, it looks epic but when I'm playing I'm so laser focused I'm not paying attention how cool it looks. It feels like some randomness to the game with the package bouncing around and getting caught on things, but that's not totally a negative for the game. The random bounces adds some extra stress and feel to the game and playing it a few times you start to get a feel for where they spawn locations are so I you can tackle them slightly better than just brute force dragging. Though when a package gets stuck, I cry. Of course needs all the things you don't have time for in a jam: saved highscore user name, a way to get back to title screen, etc. But otherwise I can't think of any suggestions to make it better, already fun. I'm sure there could be a few tweaks to the controls to make it feel a little more smoother, but they are pretty impressive for a jam game. |
| May 4 00:27:14 | 36m 53s | Brass Monkeys | ♥ 1 | I gave it a few tries but couldn't win. Pretty impressive that it can be placed on a phone! It had a very N64 feel, nice. The models were also good. The controls were a little floaty and felt like the jump was too high, but I did like the jump flip. |
| May 4 02:01:57 | 1h 34m | The Delivery | ♥ 1 | I was able to play it on my phone! 😮 |
| May 4 16:35:33 | 14h 33m | Beelivery | ♥ 3 | Wow, this is such a solid entry. The mechanics were so solid and intuitive. I was holding my breath trying to make it through with my honey at times. The difficulty and time to complete were perfect for a jam game. I could even play without issue on my weird resolution monitor even though the sides of the game were cut off on full screen 😅 |
| May 6 16:25:16 | 47h 49m | Hat Game | ♥ 3 | @jimbly @josemwarrior I made a quick web version of the game to play for those of us with limited access to a printer (with permission from marcmagus). It doesn't track score, valid placement, or anything like that. It's just placing, flipping, and rotating the pieces on the board. You'll still have to read and follow the rules. https://thebooksnail.itch.io/hat-game I would still recommend printing it out on card stock for those who can since it can be more enjoyable as a physical game, especially for multiplayer. |
| May 9 17:28:56 | 73h 03m | Unspecified Postage Service | ♥ 1 | Nice, love the box damage and bouncing around felt nice. I would have liked the movement to be slower, it felt a little random when trying to hit something just right and I would just brute force my way past instead of trying to be precise. I would totally play more levels if they were there. |
| May 11 21:15:14 | 51h 46m | Special Delivery | ♥ 1 | this is so good. i love the transition of the end to the start. |
| May 19 01:05:19 | 171h 50m | Postcat | ♥ 1 | Nice, I've always wanted to make a runner game. A+ on art and intro. Nice little nod to Dino Run in game as a store front? I would recommend making the obstacles stand out a little more to let the player know they need to jump over it and it's not background art, I ran into the mailbox thinking it was background art on first try. Maybe a light color border around obstacles? |
| May 19 16:18:11 | 15h 12m | Spaced | ♥ 0 | Music is great. I loved the aspect of avoiding objects while delivering and seeing objects bounce off you, at first I thought it was a normal over world map going between levels, then I realize, wait, this is part of the game! 😆 The ball was frequently way too fast for me, so some balance of speed would be good for me. I also had some rare slow balls but I'm guessing that's just a bug. |
