| Oct 3 09:15:01 | Neptune's Wake | ♥ 3 | This is a polished entry! I really enjoyed it and found it had a surprising amount of strategic depth for how easy it is to pick up. My main note is that the sinking islands don't add much (despite looking awesome as an effect!) because there's not a lot you can do about it. Quite often they just split the island into pieces and make the end of the game waiting to see who randomly sinks first. If there was some predictability about it then players could take it into account when making their turns to add an extra layer of skill. Two possible ideas I had were: - Showing which tiles will sink at the end of the turn _before_ you make your move - Making it so the random sinking never completely separates an island (so it would sink from the outside in). This would be quite thematic for the ocean and would stop the final turns just being waiting and hoping. Overall this is loads of fun- well done! | |
| Oct 3 09:29:18 | 14m 17s | Idol Hands | ♥ 3 | The character select screen genuinely made me giggle to myself when I got the joke- nice one 😂 Overall a solid game, well done! If I were to suggest one thing, it would be nice if I could hold down a direction rather than having to press it for every tile, which is a bit annoying for the larger levels |
| Oct 3 09:58:19 | 29m 01s | Bathtub Buccaneers | ♥ 1 | Nice work! I love the visuals and the concept is really funny :) |
| Oct 3 10:17:35 | 19m 16s | Nice Park! | ♥ 3 | This reminded me of some classic flash games I used to play on Mousebreaker! Great job- the art is beautiful and the game mechanics are nicely polished :) |
| Oct 3 10:40:13 | 22m 38s | Fate of Ratlantis | ♥ 3 | Nice job! I particularly liked the art and sound design :) I particularly enjoyed discovering I could hit things into the spikes to deal massive damage. I think the difficulty level is pretty reasonable for a jam game- I agree you don't want people getting frustrated. I'm assuming there were time constraints preventing this, but it would be really cool to have a boss fight to end the game! |
| Oct 3 11:15:16 | 35m 03s | Before I Forget | ♥ 2 | This was absolutely fantastic. A masterfully crafted experience- I really felt involved in the storyline and the true ending was so satisfying. Probably the best game of the jam. |
