Oct 5 20:26:56 Harborea ♥ 1 Great entry, the ambiant music works well, a i liked details like the shape of the ship for transition screens or the wave effects you used on the water. It looks great
Oct 5 20:47:44 20m 48s You Are Beach Cop Sign ♥ 1 Greate entry, especially if it's your first with PICO-8 ! It was really fun to follow the running guys, and trying to follow their unexpected change of direction I feel like the hitbox is not really fair sometimes, as you need to almost overlap your target to catch them, and it can be a little bit frustrating to miss, maybe it can be upgraded by buffering the action or something Other that that, solid entry, and welcome to the pico gang 😄
Oct 6 09:58:21 13h 10m Ability Management ♥ 2 Nice game, the core concept is very effective ! when playing the game, it feels like you just scratch the surface of what you can do with it, and i wish there were more trickiest levels or a bigger moveset I think a bit more polish on the movement or deaths with visual feedbacks could easily add more fun to the game
Oct 6 10:10:16 11m 55s SHARK MOCKER ♥ 0 Simple concept and well executed, it's a nice entry ! particle effects add a lot to the game Also, having the water level going down is a clever design, it's very effective I feel like having to wait that the character goes all the way up before having the ability to go down again is a bit frustrating, because i would love being able to go up and down in the water. I think it would reinforce the mocking feel, and it could bring some more greed / risk and reward satisfaction
Oct 6 10:35:41 25m 25s Indcosmus ♥ 1 great entry, the visuals and musics work great for the ambiance of the game. For plateformers like this, there are lots of known tricks to make to character movement fells better that you could use, for example making the player fall quicker than he jumps so the jump fells less floaty You already use a variable jump height depending on the length of the jump button pressing, that bring lots of control 👍 , and there are lots of great tutorials that you can find on this subject, that can greatly improve it even more !
Oct 6 16:04:05 5h 28m Shrinking Universe ♥ 1 Nice game, the concept is really great and perfectly fit the theme visuals are very effective as well I saw that you used VCV rack, that's cool. I think the music could use more layers and a longer loop, because it quickly feels repetitive, even if the theme you made is already catchy and fit the game Also, some simple particle effects could improve the visual feedbacks of the game (when catching a coin / killing a bird, jumping / landing ...)
Oct 6 16:24:35 20m 30s Norton ♥ 2 Great entry, really impressive visuals and music I feel like it's really hard to make precise jumps, that could be caused by the camera keeping the player in the middle of the screen, even in the air Also, i feel like the shooting could be clearer. You don't really see the enemies die, it's hidden by the orange trail, and i was wondering everytime if i kill them all or if there are still up But these are details, solid entry overall
Oct 6 16:36:19 11m 44s Dimensional Grove: The Rotational Odyssey ♥ 1 Really solid entry, the game is beautiful, the music is nice and the concept is really cool I especially liked the obstacles in the other dimension, forcing you to go back and switch dimension again after, it gives a nice dynamic in the game
Oct 6 16:45:35 9m 16s Parking HELL ♥ 1 It was fun playing your game, simple idea but well executed, and very polished Controls felt good even if the game was hard, and the sound design helped with that It was also cool to see your own tire track during a level, nice polish
Oct 7 15:34:57 22h 49m Limited Parking ♥ 1 The game looks really nice and the controls fells really good, really impressive work !
Oct 7 16:05:43 30m 46s how you use it ♥ 1 nice game ! the graphics are really cool, and the concept is effective. Also great addition to use these medieval sounding like tambourine and flute
Oct 7 16:16:34 10m 51s Malthus and The Rocks ♥ 0 The game looks great, and I love what you did with the controls, where everything is handled with the arrow keys, even the post-game summary, that's very elegant
Oct 7 16:31:29 14m 55s Ticket to Mars 🎫🚀 ♥ 1 I loved the art and musics, there is really a unique vibe about the game. Great entry !
Oct 8 08:25:14 15h 53m Bubble Trouble ♥ 0 Really great visuals and polish, I especially liked the pipes that brougth you back earlier in the level when you die at different places, it's really classy !
Oct 8 08:38:46 13m 32s Claustroshooter ♥ 1 solid entry, musics and visuals are great. Giving more points to the player when the black hole is not totaly expended is a very smart way to add risk/reward in the game, it's very effective
Oct 8 08:50:48 12m 02s Sampler ♥ 1 Solid sound design and great atmosphere ! It makes you feel your own tininess as a rat lab, that's really cool
Oct 8 09:01:01 10m 13s Blockhead ♥ 1 It's a nice tetris twist, I really liked the character animations (that's what made me click on the thumbnail 😄 ). I agree with most of the comments above, being able to jump just one block more could allow to unlock lots of situations, even if the teleport mechanic is a good way to avoid being stuck. Because it makes you loose points, it always feels like cheating a little
Oct 8 09:07:07 6m 06s Piper ♥ 0 SOlid entry ! I liked the feedbacks when drawing pipes, it really brings life to the game
Oct 9 11:13:11 26h 06m Sea Kelp Tower ♥ 1 Really cool art and musics, the controls feel nice and juicy, and the synergies with the ball are great. I especially liked having the sea kelp slowing you down, and so having to make quick decisions on either throwing the ball or keeping it if it's needed for the next obstacle Very solid entry, well done !
Oct 9 11:32:48 19m 37s Spectra ♥ 2 The game really looks fantastic ! nice work on feedbacks and the background, and also on the level shape-shifting, all the rendering is so cool. As other said, sounds and music for this kind of game could really bring more fun, but i agree with you on what you said in the comments, making a sound for a very repetitive action in the game can also make it unpleasant I think Vampire Survivor could be a good reference in this case, because it only plays a sound when you kill an enemy, and the sound itself is a quick percussive sound (kind of a popping popcorn sound 😄 ) and so is not too aggressive with repetition But anyway, very solid entry, good job
Oct 9 11:48:08 15m 20s PUNCH ♥ 1 Really fun game, the controls felt goofy at first but you can quickly learn and start to setup boxing rotative move which are very satisfying. Great entry
Oct 9 18:21:01 6h 32m Rush Hour ♥ 1 Really fun game, i especially liked being able to push people in the black pit 😄 You really managed to bring that chaos race with all the people blocking each others and the high-tempo music
Oct 9 18:46:28 25m 27s I Hate This Recoil ♥ 1 Really nice game, simple concept but very effective The No Oxygen mode is a really nice addition with nice challenge, that's really cool
Oct 9 21:42:02 2h 55m DeskStop-30 ♥ 1 Impressive to manage to create an OS in pico ! I love discovering creative ways to use Pico-8, and you definitely did great, the game was really fun I especially like the QR twist 😄
