Oct 2 13:57:38 Space Limiter Warp Drive ♥ 0 I like it! It took a few rounds to get a handle on the controls (the mouse stopped working a few levels in), and I eventually realized the black part of the ship didn't collide with the bullets. It's really cool that you got the player to do the space limiting, rather than imposing it.
Oct 2 14:02:06 4m 28s Running out of space ♥ 1 Fun! I like how the music pitch really adds to the intensity.
Oct 2 14:10:13 8m 07s MineRaider - LD54 ♥ 1 Cool concept, It's pretty tough to navigate deep into the mine with such a short time limit. Also for some reason I couldn't get killed by lava? When the timer ran out it gave me the normal victory screen?
Oct 2 15:24:36 1h 14m Limited Headspace ♥ 1 Really cool game! It took me a few levels to really understand the mechanics. Once I got through more tutorials, it started to make more sense.
Oct 2 16:20:02 55m 26s Perilous Platforms ♥ 1 Really fun! I would really like to play this multiplayer with friends. I wish it was easier to bump other players though. I didn't expect to just trade places if we tired to bump each other.
Oct 2 16:36:55 16m 53s Sheep Birder ♥ 1 I like the idea! Controlling the sheep is really hard, because the birds can decide to herd toward the cursor, instead of away from it. It seemed that the turn speed upgrade was the best one by far for that reason alone.
Oct 2 16:50:35 13m 40s Negative Space ♥ 1 It's a good puzzle game, and it's nice that there's space at the bottom to test out layouts without having to test and undo.
Oct 2 17:15:33 24m 58s Bouncing Boxes ♥ 1 Really good idea, with tons of room for expansion if you wanted! It would be nice to see more of a reward/punishment system tied to the box size, since there's not much of a reason to not shrink the box as long as the score isn't frozen. On my second playthrough I didn't mess with the box size at all, and I like how there's a planning element to managing a larger box once more enemies spawn in.
Oct 2 17:27:25 11m 52s Magus of the Leylines ♥ 2 Really neat little falling sand game. The limited instructions do a good job of adding a puzzle element as well. It's surprisingly easy to fail the first level. I had to try multiple times despite solving it in the same way.
Oct 2 17:54:44 27m 19s Space Shark Inc. ♥ 1 I like it! I couldn't find every ending, and really wanted to find 5, since 4 seems to be the "good" ending.
Oct 2 19:12:44 1h 18m Limited card space ♥ 1 I like the idea! I was more familiar with what cards existed on my second playthrough, but it would be nice to know how many of each card are in the deck, so I have the ability to plan further ahead.
Oct 2 23:10:36 3h 57m Berg Jump ♥ 2 Fun game. I'm awful at it though :). I kept misjudging the jumps.
Oct 2 23:28:55 18m 19s Briefcase Bandit ♥ 1 Neat game! I had to restart my first playthough because I didn't take any tools with me :)
Oct 3 00:45:38 1h 16m Limited Space ♥ 2 This is awesome! If someone had shown me this with no context, I never would have guessed that it's from a jam.
Oct 3 10:17:39 9h 32m Ace of Space ♥ 1 Fun! I really appreciated the auto target, unfortunately getting it to turn on is what got me killed.
Oct 3 23:54:04 13h 36m Orbital Operations ♥ 1 @bmacintosh I've tried both the web version and the zip, and neither seem to spawn more than 2 ships (I loaded up the zip while waiting on the web version to see if it was different between the two). It's unfortunate, because I can see the point where this gets really exiting.
Oct 4 00:13:19 19m 15s Packed to the Gills ♥ 3 Really well put together! Is there a way to progress the text with the keyboard? I had to keep going back to my mouse between levels.
Oct 5 01:23:12 25h 09m Park King ♥ 1 Excellent! And the start menu acting as a tutorial was a nice touch!
Oct 5 23:59:38 22h 36m Shrinking Universe ♥ 1 Cool game, really hard! I was disoriented for several of my first attempts because I kept dying so fast. It would be nice if the coins always dropped within reach, because they never spawned where I could get to them.
Oct 6 00:16:46 17m 08s Dead Tire ♥ 1 Great game, really fun! I had to drive away from the cones though, because they would get stuck on the car and drain my score to nothing.
Oct 6 01:15:19 58m 33s Deadlinez ♥ 2 Really nice! I played a couple of rounds until about day 25 each time. Some things I noticed when playing: * I'd really like a few more options to manipulate my deck; add/remove cards, add/remove upgrades, etc. * Once you make yourself bust-proof, it becomes a waiting game to find upgrades with as many stars and correct arrows as possible. If you expect players to become bust-proof frequently, I highly recommend a "draw all" button, because clicking through the whole deck is what got me to stop playing. * When I first started the game, the voice jump scared me because it was surprisingly loud and happened before I processed anything on the screen. Once I got my bearings though, the voice was nice.
Oct 9 13:53:38 84h 38m Prairie Dog Panic! ♥ 2 Straightforward and fun! I got to level 13, the difficulty seemed to spike really hard around levels 10-11 or so, also I got hurt by the green puddles a few times between rounds, which was really annoying.
