| Oct 5 06:12:33 | SpaceSparse | ♥ 1 | Very fund and addictive game with catchy music! Cool that you implemented a scoreboard! At first I thought, how do people get such high scores 😮 Until I discovered the warp, haha. It was nice to notice that gradually I got better at the game. It was a little bit annoying to steer the rocket, since 'feathering' the fuel was not really an economic option but it was also funny. I would have liked it if the game would remember the name that I put in, so I wouldn't have to fill it in every time I broke my own record. Creative take on the theme and cool visual effects! | |
| Oct 5 22:30:49 | 16h 18m | Don't Get Crushed! | ♥ 1 | Fun game with original mechanics! I enjoyed playing and got to the "endless" level. 😄 I liked the different shapes that could be used to find a safe place. It was rather easy to play, since there was no rush - one could just take it one obstacle at a time. Perhaps it would have been fun if some things would get progressively faster or if there was a timer of some sort. Or, perhaps something could chase you from the bottom of the screen as well! 😮 🤔 Anyway, well done! |
| Oct 7 10:54:04 | 36h 23m | Fowl Play | ♥ 4 | What a great entry! ⭐️ I really loved the theatre setup, with the other ducks carying the decor around, that was very cute, funny and original! I managed to solve the mystery, although my character got invisible after I got into a fight outside. 👻 The music and graphics are perfect. Very well done! |
| Oct 7 11:18:10 | 24m 06s | FROUST! | ♥ 2 | Fun, polished game! I like how the ice floe sinks as there are more and more snowmen on it. Great (choice of) music! We got to 83 seconds! :) |
| Oct 7 19:05:37 | 7h 47m | Compress(space) | ♥ 1 | Very cool and original game! Very well done 👏 I enjoyed it very much. I wish there were more levels! ❤️ I didn't find the levels very challenging, except for one jump in the last level. That's always tricky, combining a puzzle game with challenging mechanics. For the controls I would have liked to be able to use up/W for jump. I also would like a button to just undo the fold I made, so I don't have to drag it back. Overall, very good job, and I hope to see more levels in the future! |
| Oct 7 19:38:00 | 32m 23s | A Little Bag Story | ♥ 1 | Awesome graphics! I liked the different funny items to choose from. Gameplay was ok, it got a bit repetitive, all the levels were practically the same. I also sometimes had a problem with the slightly overlapping columns, resulting in some misclicks. I'd prefer if the dialogue was a bit quicker, or that I didn't have to wait for it/click it away before continuing. Overall, well done! 👏 |
| Oct 7 19:49:26 | 11m 26s | LD54 - Box Survival | ♥ 1 | LD54BoxSurvival.png Fun little game! I like abstract games. I also didn't notice at first that the area was shrinking. 😆 On my second run I noticed that the orbs were aiming at a spot where I was before, so I could more easily predict what would happen. I like the color palette of the orbs. Well done :) |
| Oct 7 21:26:34 | 1h 37m | PIO | ♥ 2 | LD_Pio.png Yay, I did it! It was a bit unclear sometimes when I could or couldn't eat, or why something went wrong, but I got the hang of it eventually. :) Funny original mechanics, with some fun challenging levels. 👍 I enjoyed the level with the many eagles and the 1x1 tiles. I managed to finish it without eating any! 😄 |
| Oct 8 01:23:31 | 3h 56m | Make Room | ♥ 1 | There is something really satisfying about squeezing these shapes into a box, haha! Managed to complete all levels, and had a lot of fun doing so. 😄 Thanks for this fun entry! |
| Oct 8 13:59:22 | 12h 35m | ROLLiE and the Desert Drive | ♥ 2 | Awesome game! We were a little confused in the beginning, but slowly we got to get it, and managed to win the game after an hour of playing. 😄 Cool music, nice graphics and fun gameplay. Well done! |
| Oct 10 11:00:56 | 45h 01m | QPCA-77B | ♥ 1 | Interesting programming puzzles in a new language! Well done 👍 I finished the first 5 exercises, but now I should get back to work 😉 I'll try to finish it later and collect my certification! 😄 |
| Oct 10 18:11:41 | 7h 10m | Unbelievable Universe | ♥ 1 | Original game! I enjoyed playing and finished all the levels. I like how the planets and moons look, but some of them move strangely! 😆 😉 Original take on the theme, well done! |
| Oct 11 16:04:00 | 21h 52m | Space Inserters | ♥ 1 | Fun little game! Well done :) |
| Oct 11 16:58:42 | 54m 42s | The Great Ghostly Candy Heist | ♥ 1 | I like the art work of the main character. I found the pink flying things hard to avoid, and I was wishing I could shoot backwards. It took me a while and a rereading of the "how to play" to see what the space bar did. The difference is not immediately visually noticable. Perhaps you could add some other visual change to signal that the space bar is doing something; change a color somehwere or give Kelly a different facial expression? The music is funny and creepy at the same time, but also a bit uncomfortable with the off beats blips. I managed to get to the end of a few facilities. 😃 Well done! |
| Oct 12 14:33:00 | 21h 34m | Blashout | ♥ 2 | Fun game with cool light mechanic, well done! I survived for 527 seconds (wave 7) with a trackpad and without knowing about sprinting, haha. 😆 |
| Oct 12 21:40:53 | 7h 07m | Canals | ♥ 1 | Nice game, well done! I enjoyed playing it :) I also like the improvements of the graphics in the Post Compo version. I think the act of sinking a car (and hence losing a life) could be made more visual. Maybe you can show the car still for a bit (shrinking) when the water is already there, and highlighting/enlarging the number of lives for a bit. |
| Oct 12 22:10:59 | 30m 06s | Pathfinder | ♥ 1 | Fun game! I enjoyed playing, and I think I finished all the levels (twice, I got to a black screen and wasn't sure if it crashed so I started over till I found the black screen again). I liked the in-game tutorial and the gradual introduction of the game elements. 👍 The squares with the arrows were a bit confusing, since they point in one fixed direction, while the action is that it shoots you further in the direction you are going. Maybe four outward points arrows would be clearer? I think the timers would be less distracting if the numbers were formatted with always the same amount of decimals. The later levels get somewhat confusing, it's hard to get an overview. But if was fun to speed around, discovering different pathways. Some levels I suddenly finished without knowing how or why. Unfortunately the levels don't have numbers, but these were the later levels with the big jumps (On the second run I paid more attention and saw a flash of a yellow square.) Overall, original concept! Well done! 👏 |
| Oct 12 22:49:36 | 38m 37s | Flicker of Lumina | ♥ 1 | I did it! Finally! I enjoyed playing this little gem. It's quite hard with the hitboxes and the darkness, but it's very addictive! After many tries I finally survived for 5 minutes, was surprised it wasn't over but still managed to finish the game on that try. I really enjoyed the cheerful music after finishing the game. That's a relief! Haha 😄 Original game with cool mechanics! |
| Oct 12 23:17:25 | 27m 49s | Waltz Royale | ♥ 1 | Very creative game! I enjoyed seeing them dance to the music. Although I have some experience with waltzing, I found the game quite hard. After a few tries, my high score was only 27 ;) The "fires" were too unpredictable, so I decided to just ignore them. Would have been be fun to play some levels with some faster waltzes as well! |
| Oct 12 23:32:51 | 15m 26s | Ascii commando | ♥ 1 | I am now a real programmer! ;) I completed some letters, but sometimes it was not clear why it wasn't complete yet. 🤔 The gameplay isn't the most fun, but I enjoyed the manual and I like the esthetics of the game! |
| Oct 13 12:48:00 | 13h 15m | BLOCKIES | ♥ 2 | Nice game! Since many pieces had a flat base, but my tower didn't always have a flat top surface, I really wanted to rotate the pieces vertically. Nice calm choice of music. I liked the names and descriptions of the different pieces. Well done! 👏 |
| Oct 13 22:50:39 | 10h 02m | Kung Fu Alien | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I completed all levels, but was confused by the lasers. It seemed by punching I could either dodge those particular squares in front of the laser, or the laser shot the alien (most of the time?). I think I would have preferred keyboard controls (left right, forward and a special key (=space?) for a punch) over mouse controls, or have them both as an option. But I did like how the three buttons respond to hovering and clicking, but I missed that button feedback for the restart button. I think it would be fun if the game somehow got faster and faster, punching and kicking aliens around to get to the end! Overall, well done! |
| Oct 13 23:37:01 | 46m 22s | Firebounded | ♥ 2 | Wow, really cool game, with very creative mechanics and original take on the theme! I really like the player animations, especially when jumping or burning. But wow, I am very happy that I am not a paper princess caught in a ring of fire! I am too impatient, and it gave me a lot of stress, having to be so careful. It was quite frustrating sometimes, because it was not enough just to be careful! Sometimes there were unpredictable situations: a deeper fall or an unpredictable enemy. In those cases it felt often unfair that I had to start all over again. Some checkpoints would have been nice, since the levels are quite long for such a unforgiving game. I generally don't like jumping with space, and would have like to use the up arrow for this. Also, sometimes on the edges of a platform jumping didn't seem to work, while it looks like the player character is still somewhat on the platform. Level 2 took me very long. At some point I was quite frustrated, but later I started to like the mechanics more again, developing some speedrun tactics for certain parts. Eventually I found a way to skip the first bit of level 2 by going to the right immediately at the start at the right timing of the growing of the ring of fire. 😄 But... I did it!

| Oct 14 00:30:57 | 53m 56s | Misplaced Tie | ♥ 0 | Nice game! My only complaint is that it was too short. 😉 I like the modern take on the Towers of Hanoi puzzle, and it fits the theme very well! Well done! 👏 |
| Oct 22 00:30:36 | 191h 59m | Hope Falters | ♥ 1 | Congrats with your great scores! It is a very innovative game, and it was fun to play! 👏 |
| Oct 22 00:45:22 | 14m 46s | Mr.AdBar | ♥ 1 | Awesome, enjoyed playing. Congrats with your scores! 👏 |
