Oct 3 10:06:23 Office Spaced ♥ 1 Well polished game, good tutorial at the begining. Just a bit lost about the goal in the mid period. Love the art and the feeling of immersion!
Oct 3 10:19:10 12m 47s Neon Barrier ♥ 1 A nice TD game with unique arts! Just need a little time to fully understand the rules. But once understood, it becomes fun. It can be a good base for a great commercial game.
Oct 3 10:44:41 25m 31s 3 Spots Castle ♥ 2 A nice short version for a potentially large strategy game. I love the mechanics between units. The art and music can be improved a bit. But overall well done!
Oct 3 11:24:21 39m 40s Speedy Getaway ♥ 0 A fun game. It's a bit hard to tell objects in the game. I like the atmosphere. Overall a nice game for your first game jam, well done!
Oct 3 11:49:46 25m 25s Expendable Continuum ♥ 4 Really nice graphics! The space in the game is so immersive. Love it!
Oct 3 13:36:45 1h 46m Prickle ♥ 3 Really love the innovative concept in the game. Gameplay is fun though somehow mechanics is a bit few. Some levels need patience. Really love the art of the game, hope sometime I can have such an art skill or have a friend with an art skill lie this in the future. BTW, R is a bit too close to E, I mispressed R for several times, it's kind of annoying :(
Oct 3 15:08:45 1h 32m LD54 A Space Station Odysee ♥ 1 Love the atmosphere when playing the game. The map is a bit too big while objects are too small. Game flow is not smoothy. I also encountered the issue that the music stopped at some point. But I can see the potential for this to become a good strategy or simulation game.
Oct 3 15:19:16 10m 31s Core Values ♥ 1 Art is good, but some UI issues to fix. Also there seems to be some bugs, when the bot dies, the scene doesn't update. Love the idea of turn-based fighting tho.
Oct 4 05:46:22 14h 27m Jar World ♥ 1 A nice and fun entry. Graphics is simple but it works and fit the mechanics. Yeah, I also think gravity will help improve the control and increase the fun. Overall a great game!
Oct 4 06:04:11 17m 49s Bimbi's Cosmo Party ♥ 3 Tested alone as well 😢 Impressed by the game a lot! Party game is very uncommon party in game jams. Really love the art style of mixing 2D cartoon characters and 3d scenes. Every animal is lovely and funny. Music also fits the game very well. Mini games are short but fun. Hope to see this on steam or some markets in the future!
Oct 4 06:26:25 22m 14s Behind The Darkness ♥ 2 Really immersive game! Managed to make it through. Impressed by the fantastic art and music! This game provides a mixed feeling of both horror game and survival game. Would be better if more oils or some kind of save points are set on the map.
Oct 4 06:57:44 31m 19s Dodge the Cubes ♥ 1 I like this game! It's fun enough, tho art is simple. I can easliy see the potential of this simple mini game. Happened to brainstorm some random thoughts on adding more mechanics: 1. More enemy types, e.g. some could be fixed, some could charge 2. More obstacles, e.g. some could be pushed 3. Different regions, e.g. in some region player's speed could be slow down 4. Player skills, e.g. charing 5. Some maze levels Has a potential to be a popular genre like vampire survivors. You did a really awesome job for your first game! I really like this succinct game.
Oct 4 12:55:39 5h 57m Delicious Sums ♥ 1 Cool puzzle game. I feel the optimal solution is very hard to find. Lovely art of dim sums. Overall a nice game!
Oct 4 14:00:06 1h 04m Art - Official Intelligence (an AI fever dream) ♥ 0 An impressive experiment! I actually learned a lot from your summaries. BTW, the texts you wrote is really funny.
Oct 4 14:14:18 14m 12s File Defender ♥ 0 Good concept. Apart from the troublesome system, I have to do a click for each shooting, which is kind of cumbersome. But overall great job for your first game jam!
Oct 4 15:12:20 58m 02s LazerPhaser ♥ 2 Very fun puzzle game, the difficulty of the control part outweighs the puzzle part. Art is really good tho UI is a bit simple which could be polished more. Not sure if it's bug but sometimes my character just gets stuck and I can't control him anymore. I love this game. BTW, I feel myself more like a rotation scientist instead of a laser scientist 😎
Oct 4 15:25:50 13m 30s Princess can jump ♥ 1 A nice and fun game. It's a bit hardcore (I guess this is to show how limited the space is). One thing is the resolution doesn't fit in laptop well (the contents close to horizontal borders are not showing). But I love the art style.
Oct 4 16:29:56 1h 04m Mediterranean Smuggling ♥ 1 Yeah I agree it's a bit stressful. Allowing multi-selection for people could help a lot IMO, it could be a square to select all people within the range. And I can see it's not well-balanced. It has a great potential to be a good strategy game. Keep updating it!
Oct 4 16:37:50 7m 54s Truck Chef ♥ 2 Nice game with great art. I love those colors of the drinks. The table seems broad at the begining. But soon it becomes so narrow after some customer orders about 10 drinks! This game is fun tho no audios.
Oct 5 16:45:39 24h 07m Hanabatake ♥ 3 I guess the ratings of this game will be polarized. To me, it's a cozy and fun game, which I could play for hours. The graphics and audios are also wonderful! As for the gameplay, I have the same feeling with others. It really took me a while to understand the rules. **Here is my understanding of the rules for planting new flowers** (correct me if I'm wrong): 1. **New flowers must be planted near a flower with the same color - totally hidden to players**❌️ 2. New flowers can't be planted near a flower with incompatible colors - clear to players✔️ 3. "Near" means the squares two flowers stayed share one border - not fully clear, but could be easily reasoned✔️ 4. If two flowers are not next to each other on the book, it means they are incompatible - not fully clear, but could be easily reasoned✔️ I think the gameplay itself is good, it just lacks clear explanation about **rule 1**, which could make **rule 3** and **rule 4** ambiguous. Once **rule 1** is clear to players, all rules should be clear, and it should be much easier for players to enjoy the game. Overall you guys group of freshmen made a really nice game! BTW, would you guys mind sharing how you made nice music like this one with AI tool?
Oct 5 17:14:27 28m 48s 2048 - Space Corp Limited ♥ 1 This is a really fun game! I love this game! It seems a bit overwhelming to remember the resources and buildings at the begining t, but soon all become clear to me. The AI-generated voice is natural, and art fits the game very well. Also this game is a very rare well-balanced simulation game in game jams. One of my favorite ones. One minor complaint is that I want a speed-up button :D
Oct 6 12:34:50 19h 20m Candy Catcher ♥ 3 I hate my forefinger! Please cut this bad evil off right now! Lovely game with fun gameplay. The art is so admirable! And the music is also very soothing for the game. Request for the candy with heart shape!
Oct 6 12:46:45 11m 55s Sip & Slime ♥ 2 Really nice art! Love the cozy and relaxing gameplay and music. And I also think the resolution is a bit too big for web, had to drag the bars.
Oct 6 13:31:17 44m 32s Trash Truck Hero ♥ 0 Never knew collecting trashes was that hard! It's a fun game. Graphics is simple, but works.
Oct 6 13:46:16 14m 59s Nice Park! ♥ 2 Very challenging but fun game! Art and music are very soothing. Congrats on the work!
Oct 6 14:10:05 23m 49s Pazuru Packing Sushi ♥ 6 Nice puzzle! Cleared all levels. It's a good take on the theme. The pixel art makes the food look really delicious. The music is really relaxing. One of my favorite ones.
Oct 6 16:32:17 2h 22m Troubled Turtles ♥ 2 Great puzzle with a relatively hardcore difficulty curve. Level 17 really took me a while to solve. About half of the remaining levels were hard levels. One thing I am wondering is: how long did it take you to design each level? Because our game is also puzzle, it took us about 0.5-1h to design easy levels, 1-3h to design hard levels. We felt those hard ones were much more time-consuming. Also, would you mind sharing how you drew to design each level? We used excel to draw. We feel it's convenient but wonder if there are any better ways. Overall it's a really fun and challenging puzzle, one of my favorite ones. I loved the turtle facts, too :D
Oct 6 17:14:49 42m 32s Verliies ♥ 1 Great platform game! This somehow reminds me of "I Wanna Be the Guy". All the traps, full of fun of being teased. A great take on the theme. One of my favorite ones. Congrats on the really nice entry!
Oct 6 17:35:17 20m 28s Cubic ♥ 0 It's a really really nice puzzle. Very fun and addictive. It doesn't have any deliberately man-made rule, but still works as a puzzle. It's like an art in the natural. One of my favorite ones. Really solid entry.
Oct 6 17:47:50 12m 33s A Bit Too Hot ♥ 3 The cut scenes are really nice! Had the issues with other players that left click to lift sometimes go outside the map, and it's hard to return. I feel like the control part could be improved a lot. But overall a nice game!
Oct 6 17:51:59 4m 09s Mechanizyn ♥ 1 The concept and mechanics seem good. Just need to add more levels to expand the gameplay. Otherwise it will be a really good game.
Oct 6 18:05:00 13m 01s Stacked ♥ 2 A fun game with lots of humor! To be honest, I kind of enjoyed deliberately making the passengers crashing on the obstacles and seeing the effects when they dropped 🙈 Is there any other cruel guy like me? 👀 Overall it's a great game and I had lots of fun playing it!
Oct 6 18:17:25 12m 25s cyber_serpent ♥ 2 A solid entry! Really love the fancy effects. Gameplay is a bit tough to me since I'm not good at this kind of shooting game. But it's still very fun. It's well polished and could be a mobile game in app stores. One of my favorite ones.
Oct 6 18:29:07 11m 42s Gyronimo ♥ 2 Damn it! This awesome platform game is sooooo difficult! Did you guys design the clumsy jump deliberately? I bet only <10% players could finish all levels. But I love this game a lot! (Probably I am a masochism, no😱) Thanks for making the game! One of my favorite ones.
Oct 6 18:36:49 7m 42s Air-Raid Architect ♥ 0 Good roguelike fps game with nice minecraft-like art style. Tho mechanisms right now is a bit too few, it's a solid base for a commercial game in the future. I feel like roguelike game is very hard to balance in 72 hours, do you guys have the same feeling? Overall it's a great game. I had some fun playing it.
Oct 6 18:49:28 12m 39s Private 621 ♥ 1 A solid entry! I love the gameplay, it's a bit tough but fun. Also the art of the toys is very nice, it makes each of them lovely (tho I died several times being attacked by them :(
Oct 6 19:27:33 38m 05s The Legend of L0nk: Tears of Encumbrance ♥ 1 It's a good take on the theme. I played to the end and scored 2203. This game was funny and enjoyable. I love this game.
Oct 6 19:35:54 8m 21s Keep Sailing ♥ 1 Very nice story and atmosphere. Managed to survive until saved, with 2 buddies died. This game reminds me of "60 Seconds!". I love this kind of genre and enjoy the game. Well done for the entry!
Oct 6 19:57:19 21m 25s Craftship Ltd. ♥ 2 This is a good take on the theme. I loved the mechanics of how the scores was calculated. The negative scoring made me think more about each step. The art is also great and soothing for the game. One minor complaint would be no music. Well done on this entry! (From your animal friends🐘🐒)
Oct 6 20:24:10 26m 51s Space! Ltd. ♥ 1 A well polished puzzle game! The music is so relaxing that it's easy for players like me to forget time when playing. The concept is brilliant and it's well executed. Really liked the randomness of the game mechanics, it's combined very well with these puzzles. This entry is definitely one of my favorite ones. BTW, I also request for a "Undo".
Oct 6 20:29:53 5m 43s Limited (in) Space ♥ 1 This game is so hard for me! It's a great take on the theme. A solid game with fun. One minor complaint might be the death effect is too long for me.
Oct 6 20:40:13 10m 20s FROUST! ♥ 2 I am the snowman king 👑 ⛄️! You son of XX, get out of my way! A really fun game, which could have multi-player mode and become a party game! The gameplay is really enjoyable, art and sound are funny, I couldn't find any disadvantage of this game. Definitely one of my favorite ones.
Oct 7 11:34:09 14h 53m Stingy Seating ♥ 1 Super hardcore puzzles. Racked my brain. It's a great take on the theme and well executed. The orientation of the bus was anti-intuition but it's just a part composing the difficulty. I loved the simplicity of the rules. With such simplicity, the game was full of challenges, it's an art. The game is also well-polished. Congrats on this entry!
Oct 7 12:29:15 55m 06s Pixel Piles ♥ 5 This fun game is sooo challenging! The hardest parts to me are (seems same with some other players): 1. The rotation for some blocks required too many steps (4 types of shape in total), I was so slow to complete the rotations 2. Again, it's the rotation, I have to hit the wall to rotate, which constrained my movement a lot 3. It's hard for me to take care of both preparing to escape the incoming block and arranging a good position for it. It's so easy for me to get distracted by one of them😂 But this is very innovative and original game. I definitely love this game! I really love the concept. Art is cute and soothing. Music sounds cozy but it also provides some feeling of challenging. Well done on this entry!
Oct 9 03:21:33 38h 52m Packed to the Gills ♥ 1 Awesome game! I enjoyed all the four levels. It feels like our real life and we are the sardines in the game haha. Impressive art and music. Really well-polished entry!
Oct 9 03:29:23 7m 50s LIGHTDANCER ♥ 1 Wonderful graphics and SFXs, which provides an awesome vibe. Gameplay is a bit hard (soul-like) but fun. It's incredible to make such a game in 48 hours. Really impressive entry!
Oct 9 03:48:11 18m 48s FELL OUT ♥ 2 Really impressive and enjoyable art, music also fits a lot. Normally I don't touch story-based games, but this one seems really unique, so I tried it. It turned out the game was full of full, so my investment was worthwhile. It somehow reminded me of Animal Crossing. One minor complaint would be I hope there is a map because the sea was a bit too large, I got lost for a few times. Overall a really solid and impressive game!
Oct 9 04:09:56 21m 45s The King is Watching ♥ 3 10 out of 5 here, a masterpiece. This is a super rare well-balanced strategy game in jams, and it's well polished. As a fan of strategy game, I enjoy and love this game sooo much! It's amazing! My favorite game in this jam!
Oct 9 05:06:42 56m 46s Escape from the clutches ♥ 1 Great art and impressive SFXs! Gameplay is a bit unfluent but still fun. Overeall a good entry!
Oct 9 05:17:01 10m 19s Floodwater ♥ 1 A well thought out puzzle with some twist on Sokoban. I enjoyed all levels. The first level was not a bit confusing but managed to figure out the box could be pushed. I just hope there were more levels and some levels had a little bit more complexity. Overall a great puzzle and well polished!
