Oct 3 00:13:55 What to leave behind? ♥ 5 The art was really pretty and the music was a nice choice. I liked that all items had an associated sound and how the story of this person was told through them. I wish there was more to this game, the decisions on which items you keep currently make no difference at the end. I can totally see this expanded with more moves and branching narrative paths depending on which items you keep.
Oct 3 00:32:03 18m 08s Attack of the Robot Crabs ♥ 2 OH YEAH! Genuinely fun little FPS with great movement, great gunfeel and great difficulty ramp. Once you start getting a feeling for your movement speed and gun control, you can just chain absurd shots. Sound design is excellent and the game looks really nice as well. There could be more variety with the enemies or their behavior but this is a compo game so I'm impressed. You could totally turn this into a round based mini FPS with multiple stages and enemies though, the gameplay already feels incredibly rewarding.
Oct 3 00:49:29 17m 26s Limited Parking Space ♥ 2 I swear my car was driving into oncoming traffic and every street corner ON PURPOSE :D Great little game, loved how hectic everything felt by design, how you wanted to get a parking space close to the restaurant and how stressful the entire thing felt. Truly a good representation of real life. My earliest arrival was at 5:30 :D
Oct 3 01:13:29 24m 00s Dogtor Jones and the Holy Bone ♥ 5 Very very nice entry! Loved how he would just pop up from the side when you get it wrong. Adds some nice humor to this game. The gameplay was nice, especially how you had to contemplate getting treasure vs getting out of danger in time. Music and audio were very fitting and well done. I encountered one bug where I accidentally used a time slowdown right before the stage ended and the first walls on the next stage wouldn't close until I used another one. Other than that, I had a great time with this :D
Oct 3 01:22:57 9m 28s Riven ♥ 2 This was REALLY WELL DONE! The movement took a few rounds to get used to but once you get the hang of it it's super satisfying. I like that there are so many hazards and things you have to look out for. The background animations like the birds are also really nice. The music is cheerful and made it so I never got frustrated. Because damn is this game hard! On my first few attempts I got absolutely blasted to shreds after a few seconds. Once you learn what the items do it becomes manageable though. Overall, fantastic entry!
Oct 3 01:32:12 9m 15s BBD-MK0 ♥ 3 Loved this! Nice idea having to change your button mapping on the fly and the building block approach incorporated the theme very nicely. Loved the level design, graphics and audio as well. The inclusion of a speedrun mode was unexpected but I completely understand it :D Only thing I would criticize is that sometimes you have to change your button layout a lot in a level and it can get a bit tedious when you die and have to rearrange everything every time. Other than that, I loved this.
Oct 3 01:39:00 6m 48s Box of Squingus ♥ 0 Really nice game! Loved the animations, the game concept and the levels. The difficulty progressed nicely and the overall presentation was really smooth and polished. I wish there was sound, some nice music and simple sound effects would make this a really solid experience, but what I got was already nice so that's ok. I don't really like the Space+Arrow Keys solution for shrinking the border, it feels a bit weird to stop and resize that all the time. You could try making the border auto drag when you exceed the maximum size so you don't have to pause as often.
Oct 3 01:45:18 6m 18s Lines ♥ 1 Neat little game. I can't finish it to save my life but I enjoyed trying. Music is nice and enjoyable on multiple listens, controls do what they're supposed to and graphics are simple, but clear.
