| Oct 3 19:54:22 | The Time I Was Stranded on an Island That Kept Disappearing | ♥ 0 | Took a bit of playing around until I roughly knew how to do everything, but ultimately worked out pretty well. In my first playthrough I got stuck because I harvested apples but had no crates (I had destroyed them because I didn't think there was any use for empty crates), so I didn't find a way to drop the apples anywhere and had to restart because I couldn't perform any actions that way. Later I had a much better run but died, despite abundance of resources, because I didn't notice one stat had dropped to 0 - so I guess some indicator, maybe some flashing of the UI once hunger or thirst gets severe, would be helpful to avoid that. Otherwise pretty nice, interesting mix of being a bit frantic but also relaxing, nice art style, and good match for the theme, well done. | |
| Oct 3 19:56:41 | 2m 19s | Cloud Runner | ♥ 0 | As others have said, currently not working: Error The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers) I checked in Firefox, Chrome and Edge, same for all. Will happily try again later in case it gets fixed. |
| Oct 3 20:03:43 | 7m 02s | Cyber Heist | ♥ 1 | Nice music and general atmosphere! Also I very much appreciate how quickly one can just play the game without much reading or explaining being necessary. I would have loved to see where this goes, but honestly found it too hard - tried like 10 times and never got more than 2 coins because I kept running into walls. If at least you could run into them sideways without losing immediately, that would improve things quite a bit, but the way it is it just demands perfection from the player. :D |
| Oct 3 20:27:01 | 23m 18s | Park King | ♥ 2 | Love it! Took me ~20 minutes to finish the game. Skipped only one level in the middle, the one with a skewed road crossing and a lot of traffic, that one was brutal, but the rest I kind of managed after enough tries. :D Probably one of the funniest games I've ever played that has no dialogue/text. The way the game made you disregard the needs of all the other traffic participants is just hilarious - particularly that one bus level with the ticket, and of course that one fully occupied parking lot that really made me appreciate the physics engine. Also really liked the visuals, these roads just all look really nice. Also the plants, very nice slick design! Great job. :) |
| Oct 7 14:33:13 | 90h 06m | LIGHTDANCER | ♥ 1 | +1 to what many others have said -- great atmosphere, lovely visuals, smooth controls, nice tutorial, very well done! |
| Oct 7 15:02:19 | 29m 06s | Tiny Island | ♥ 1 | Very nice! And kinda addictive. I liked the varying shapes of islands you can add, and generally the gameplay just has a nice feel to it. If I were to suggest any improvements, it would probably be to add a bit of challenge to the game, because it seemed rather easy to me. Plus till the end I had no idea what that second resource is about - neither what it represents, nor how I get more of it. I think I got more through houses somehow, but didn't really understand the pattern behind it. And finally, explain in the game the win/loss conditions. Still, great game, would love to see a post jam version of this! |
| Oct 15 15:40:09 | 192h 37m | Six Seats Left | ♥ 2 | Very cool game, and suits the theme super nicely, well done! Only little issue I had is that I wanted to talk everyone before deciding anything, but then couldn't quite remember the details about people. :D But I think I ended up with some good people. |
| Oct 15 15:53:21 | 13m 12s | Tethered | ♥ 1 | Newton's third law raises an eyebrow or two. :D But really cool idea, one of the most innovative game mechanics I've seen so far, well done! |
| Oct 15 16:19:45 | 26m 24s | Hot Drills | ♥ 1 | Nice one! Loved the enemy design. Gameplay reminded me a bit of the very old game Gubble, which I played like 25 years ago (but which was great). Would have liked everything to be a bit more fast-paced, but otherwise really cool, great atmosphere, nice levels, a surprising depth to that relatively small amount of gameplay, I was strategizing quite a bit about how to overcome these enemies. :) |
| Oct 15 16:30:33 | 10m 48s | SPACE LTD. (The Little Prince) | ♥ 2 | Nice game and concept! Controls were a little finicky at times - it is really hard to get away once you landed on a planet, and I wish it was possible to just launch away from the planet instead of having to do it in a weird sideways manner. :) Also, after a while I encountered a bug, and while I was on Earth and getting around it, I bounced off Earth and then very slowly drifted away from it without gravity having any effect anymore. While we're at it, I liked the idea of repelling planets, was a nice touch and fun to play around with! |
| Oct 17 17:36:55 | 49h 06m | Delicious Sums | ♥ 0 | I'm impressed by the scores posted here, didn't get anywhere close to that. 😁 Nice idea though, coming up with your own puzzle game like this is always cool! |
| Oct 17 17:50:32 | 13m 37s | Going Up | ♥ 2 | Hahaha, amazing game! "How about that!" Don't know what to say other than that it's a really great effort, super well done, very funny, lovely pixel art. :) Can definitely see this ending up high up in the rankings! If I were to look for something to improve, the only thing that comes to mind is that it lacks a bit of progression, it's like 5 (or so? Didn't count) levels that are mildly different but don't really differ very much in difficulty as far as I can tell. I was quite unsure until the end whether there's even any ending, or I just get endless randomly generated levels. :D But didn't take too long anyway and the ending screen was a nice touch. 👌 Great job. :) |
| Oct 17 18:01:22 | 10m 50s | Hank The Busdriver | ♥ 1 | Scandalous! I had a capacity of 3, had 3 pupils inside, and the message said I left kids waiting despite having empty seats! :( But very funny game, love the hectic energy of the swarm of children. Would of course be nice to have a goal or something and have the game end after n busses and get a score or so. But it's a great and very entertaining start. :) Also, as has been mentioned, it seemed very pointless at first when I used space as this didn't yield any feedback - but after reading here that this is different when clicking the button with the mouse, I switched to that strategy and that worked. :D |
| Oct 18 16:09:52 | 22h 08m | Stardust Slingshot | ♥ 0 | Nice game! Took me a bit to find the last mineral, but got there eventually. I liked the faster rockets, was nice tagging along. :) |
| Oct 18 16:19:35 | 9m 43s | Space Ltd. | ♥ 0 | Pew pew pew indeed! Man that was difficult to get used to. :D Game overed by flinging myself far out of screen it seems, before finally making it. My strategy in the end was to just stay on the right half of the screen and wait for the asteroids to destroy the items on the left, as it was just far too dangerous to fly out there. :D |
| Oct 18 16:29:30 | 9m 55s | Distant Horizons | ♥ 1 | Phew this is pretty difficult! For like 5 rounds I thought it was impossible because the towers always kept spawning outside-in for me, so I was effectively unable to ever use the contact destruction, and they crept in to the middle before I could ever build a second factory. Gave it one more go however and was much more lucky with the spawn points. But still, money came in too slowly and eventually the towers kept destroying my buildings until I eventually perished. Pretty unique concept though, well done, maybe this would even work nicely as a round based game. |
| Oct 18 16:38:25 | 8m 55s | Spinstack | ♥ 1 | Got 1440 and am happy with that. :D Cool concept, I remember playing a rather similar board game many years ago. But this virtual version has much less of the chaos of dozens of small bricks eventually crashing down onto a table haha. |
| Oct 18 16:48:42 | 10m 17s | RAMpage | ♥ 3 | I ran into the same bug some others here mentioned - for a time it seemingly allowed me to have multiple files on top of each other, but ultimately it made me lose a file which vanished as soon as the round started, which happened to made me just weak enough to lose the round. :( Very nice game though, really like the audio & visuals & general mood, also the banter by the virus was really fun. With some adjustments and more (transparent) variety in the files it could become really quite addictive I think! |
| Oct 18 17:02:08 | 13m 26s | Installing Engine | ♥ 0 | Hahaha, oh man, this felt too real, and these trade-offs when deleting files were harsh as hell. :D Really funny idea, well done! |
| Oct 18 17:16:29 | 14m 21s | 3 Spots Castle | ♥ 1 | The most beautiful moon I've ever seen. ❤️ :P Interesting take on the theme though, well done. I just wish there was more I could have spent my money on. :D Pretty soon I felt like horses + archers were the best approach for the situation, and then could just wait and watch. Don't quite get why I lost though, suddenly my base dropped from 400 to 0 in a matter of seconds while I thought I was doing pretty well for myself. |
| Oct 18 17:37:11 | 20m 42s | Cosmic Cargo Chaos | ♥ 3 | Loved the intro. :D And I was so engrossed in the game I didn't even notice my girlfriend brought me a hot chocolate! Overall one of the funniest games I've playes this time around, both the writing and the forklift gameplay, great job. 👌 |
| Oct 18 17:51:15 | 14m 04s | Keep Sailing | ♥ 1 | Veeeery cool! I really like the art style and overall mood and the floaty animations. Also quite funny albeit the darkness. Only thing I was unsure about is if there's any way to save your crewmates - they are often hungry or thirsty and then just die without there being any possibility to give them food or water I think? Plus, I don't think any of the items I brought impacted the game. And of course it would have been nice for the people to look a bit differently. :D But all that aside, really well done! |
