Oct 8 14:43:58 Cosmic Chaos ♥ 2 Very cool little game! Well done. As others have said, the upgrade system is a highlight and a fun use of the theme. The cursor is a bit weird on that screen but just minor stuff that's to be expected. Not a lot of criticism: The controls are a little weird feeling - I also would have preferred to be able to turn without moving. The sfx leave a bit to be desired (though the music is vibey). I did better once I realized that killing enemies didn't help my score. Is there any sense in putting in a reward structure for that? The shadows were a nice way of elevating otherwise very simplistic graphics.
Oct 8 14:55:51 11m 53s Antigravity Cat Orbs ♥ 1 I mean Dan, this soundtrack is purr-fect. What a chill vibe. Spacey and relaxing. Overall, mood is excellent. Gameplay lacks depth a bit but I don't think it would take much to make it a winner (some antagonist appearing - something to avoid booping). Very unique concept as well. Nice job!
Oct 8 15:10:36 14m 45s Limited Parking Space ♥ 2 Wow you did 2 games Dan? Impressive. Love the lil 8-bit beat. Honestly the opening menu music might be my fav. Creative take on the theme! Graphics are fun and it's an easy to grasp the concept. Lot you could do with this post-jam - I think the biggest one would be to have other cars parking and leaving to increase the randomization. Pedestrians, etc would be fun. Great work!
Oct 8 15:29:31 18m 55s Nuclear Arms 9: Tower of Time ♥ 1 Wow, this one was ambitious! Love that it's a series. Overall, this feels like a real game with a lot of potential. There are a ton of ideas in here - they need polish of course. Movement gets glitchy, UI could be scaled better, and the balance needs some help - none of the powerups really compete with the rapid-fire gun (which maybe you turn into a hold and fire thing so it's not about clicking as fast as possible?). Once I figured out you could kill the bombs I was able to beat the game. That said, all my feedback is just balance/debugging stuff. The art is fun, music is vibey, and overall really solid. I hope you polish this up!
Oct 8 16:11:39 42m 08s Spacetour Express ♥ 1 This is a cool game! Really fun and playable. Once I noticed the 'repair' and 'upgrade' buttons I was off to the races. The stowaway mechanic is a great randomized punishment. One of my favorites I've played so far from the jam. Clearer directions/descriptions of passengers would go a long way to smoothing out the learning curve here, but that's a minor complaint. 209 is my high score!
