| Oct 3 16:41:01 | Donut Park Here! | ♥ 3 | Such a great take on the theme! SO many great little details too... the physics are tuned so nicely, the way the cars react to getting hit, customers getting pissed off, the art is GORGEOUS, and super cute, day/night cycle, nice sense of progression... even the little horns on the front of the orc truck?? What?? So good. 😄 I was laughing my ass off at this one. 😆 There is also a nice ramp in difficulty/skill required. Like once I figured how to drift etc, it was very rewarding. But I still had a hard time getting cars out without a scratch, which made it aggravating and hilarious. (Because it feels achievable). I am blown away by what you were able to achieve in this time. 😮 It's insane... and so so good. I did have a little trouble running it on my laptop at first, it ran such low fps, I could barely control it (especially in full screen)... so I wanted to give it a fair shot and run it on my PC before rating.... and WOW, it is a blast to play, and just looks absolutely beautiful. Nice work. 😍 ❤️ I'm going to have a hard time getting through the other games, as I can feel myself pulled back to this one to keep getting further. 😝 It's got a great hook. | |
| Oct 3 16:57:40 | 16m 39s | Bloody Barrels! | ♥ 4 | Damn!! The atmosphere is just killer on this one! It really feels like you're below deck with pirates above. So many great nuances to give you the sense you are there. The audio and visuals working together were just fantastic. 👌 Was I smelling damp wood and ocean water at some point? 🤔 😝 Really nice work. The dialogue is hilarious too. It looks so insanely good, I kind of wished the collision shape on the barrels were a bit tighter, it looked off when they clipped into each other sometimes. You set the bar so high! I also kept trying to jump. I get why you didn't have it... but even if spacebar did a terrible low jump, it would help a little with some of the frustration. haha. I actually felt super claustrophobic at the beginning. So... great job? 🤣 |
| Oct 4 12:47:39 | 19h 49m | Tiny Tour | ♥ 2 | Great concept and vibe!! The art is fantastic. I would love if the crash was more satisfying, like car crunches and smoke goes up? But that's nitpicky. You have a lot of great levels that ramp up in challenge. My brain is tired now. 😝 |
| Oct 4 17:24:08 | 4h 36m | Ben The Binder | ♥ 3 | WOW..... the vibe on this one is SO good.... I love the dim lit pixel art look with the immersive audio. I was hooked immediately. Love the take on the theme too! I had multiple times I hit max space on that stupid floppy disk 🤣 I will say, it got a bit grindy for me near the middle.... but I was so in it, I felt compelled to keep going and finish. I loved the premise and setting. I think at the start, I had expected there to be more messing with files on other servers etc. I realize that's probably way out of the scope of the jam... and so for how complete this is, it's just awesome. Part of me wants to replay and deliberately do badly. I was so on top of getting rid of viruses... I'm curious what happens. There was such nice build up and anticipation with the clippy thing.. I love it, but when I did well, it didn't have much of a pay off. Just the audio alone made me jump a couple times. But I thought maybe there would be more of a tease or something happening. The biggest thing I would tweak is the camera bob. I actually felt motion sick and have a headache now. 😬 😝 I think it's the back and forth rotation on Z... seeing your horizon line bob like that will make anyone motion sick over time. I like the bob... but maybe get rid of that rotation? Especially with how much walking you do. This is such a killer entry. Nice work!! |
| Oct 5 13:55:19 | 20h 31m | A Better Place | ♥ 2 | The visuals and audio are just so spot on. 👌 ❤️ They compliment each other nicely. And the little dust effect and audio cues when you are sorting trash make it super satisfying. It did take me a few tries to really 'get it'... at first I thought I was a racoon just sorting trash into the proper bins. And the faster I went, the better the score. Which, as relaxing as it was, didn't seem like it had a lot of challenge. But when I realized I could pre-sort trash into piles for extra points, it got way more interesting. And I really felt like a racoon sorting and organizing trash 😆 That actually felt relaxing and was fun... the downside is, I couldn't get the right-click to work for whatever reason. I finally figured out I could use shift-drag to move those piles... but I couldn't figure out how to get them in the bins. I do think there is something there... there is a risk in piling stuff beforehand, and you get a bigger payoff/score... but you're also risking not getting any points if the timer runs out. I just wish I could figure out how to actually get them in the bins. 😝 The art and audio is so dang good. Great stuff!! |
| Oct 6 03:03:20 | 13h 08m | Limitverse (ludum-54) | ♥ 1 | Cool concept and the art is awesome!! Has almost a modern 80s vibe to it. 😄 I dig it. I felt like I needed the damage or rate of fire higher? The shooting got a bit frustrating. And at one point found I could just bypass monsters and go through the door, so I started doing that instead and just avoiding combat altogether. 😬 I kept clicking on the gun hoping to swap weapons. With the bouncy walls and tight spaces... I feel like there is something interesting here, just need to make the player feel a little more powerful and have some variety of weapons? Nice stuff! |
| Oct 10 13:12:34 | 106h 09m | LIGHTDANCER | ♥ 1 | WOW. 😮 So much polish. The mood, audio, atmosphere, color palette... amazing FX... all work so well together. I love the little shake on the bow. Gives really nice feedback to firing. Really incredible ramp into difficulty as well, and organically teaching the player at the start. The whole thing is so well done. 🙌 I also love the how the red eyes show through in the dark. That was a nice touch. |
| Oct 10 13:22:46 | 10m 12s | Packed to the Gills | ♥ 1 | The music, polish and overall flow is just incredible... it feels like a full game. |
