| Oct 2 17:29:06 | roadtrip | ♥ 2 | Seems like a chill game but I feel like it's missing a few features that would make it feel nice to play, namely character interaction and some sort of goal/reward. If I understood the game correctly, it plays endlessly on a road and you can stop to get passengers into your car or drop them. Currently, you can't talk to the passengers and there isn't any benefit in-game for getting passengers or dropping them. Adding these would probably make the game more interesting. Still congrats on Compo submission, hope you had a great jam! | |
| Oct 2 18:12:25 | 43m 19s | Hexle | ♥ 1 | This was a very creative take on sudoku-like games. Initially, rule 6 seemed really daunting but after actually giving it a try it was clearly doable π I did feel like I had to take notes on possible restricting bits after they were hidden; I wish that it would've been possible to do that in-game. Still, this was a wonderful game with a nice and clean look, and congrats for submission! |
| Oct 2 18:26:05 | 13m 40s | Star hotel | ♥ 3 | Really nice game, it gets super tense in the later stages when you have lots of guests and different colors. I wish the characters' hitboxes were just a bit larger so that I could more easily see their likes/dislikes when hovering (maybe a fullscreen option would've also helped?). Did manage to clear the game on my 2nd try and it was fun! Congrats on submission! |
| Oct 2 19:44:49 | 1h 18m | Packed Blobs | ♥ 1 | A chill puzzle game, I like how the slimes look and move. Congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 2 20:19:42 | 34m 53s | Pazuru Packing Sushi | ♥ 6 | A nice and chill game, great job! My only complaint was that the dragging of sushi didn't feel very responsive (at times it was snapping to places where I didn't want it to). Would've liked if the dragged pieces followed the mouse freely and there would be some kind of colored indicator below it showing where the piece would go. Still, really enjoyed this one and congrats for the submission! |
| Oct 2 20:30:42 | 11m 00s | Limited Space Cart | ♥ 1 | Nice game, my best score was 2550 π I can see this game getting better with some minor tweaks, maybe objects with different weights, some that require you to charge the punch? |
| Oct 2 20:50:07 | 19m 25s | Rift Escape | ♥ 0 | Interesting one, I like the snappiness when you collide and destroy one of the boxes. Though as others have mentioned, 5 minutes is quite a long time and it could definitely use something more to spice it up (e.g ship upgrades, shields, boxes that explode after a delay etc...) |
| Oct 2 21:10:43 | 20m 36s | Grave Danger | ♥ 1 | Nice game with clean pixel art, congrats for the submission! My one complaint is that if you dig a hole right on top of the coffin, the tombstone will appear on the tile above player but it can't be seen since the player sprite is blocking the view (I often tried to move up after burying a coffin only to be blocked because I didn't realize that there was a tombstone there now) |
| Oct 2 21:38:06 | 27m 23s | This Game Only Weighs 8 KB! | ♥ 2 | These types of creative takes are why I love game jams, great job π |
| Oct 2 22:19:19 | 41m 13s | Tower Swap - A Card TD Game | ♥ 2 | Interesting take on the theme, I like that you need to move tower cards back to the hand to upgrade them. Congrats on the submission! Like some other people I initially was confused that I wasn't able to drag cards to the tower slots, but apparently it was because dragging is disabled during the pause between waves. Glad that I was able to figure it out π |
| Oct 2 22:39:21 | 20m 02s | SURFSTRONAUT - Limited Space | ♥ 2 | Wasn't able the master jumping off the board, but managed to enjoy it nonetheless. Loved the sound effects, and was positively suprised that there was a public leaderboard. Great job and congrats on submission! As some others have already mentioned, would've loved to see the background move a bit as well so that it would be more clear that the character was moving. It does get better later in the game, though. |
| Oct 3 08:28:56 | 9h 49m | SlimeTastic! | ♥ 0 | As others have already mentioned, the controls are quite unclear. I think that you're supposed to click a slime, then use WASD to move them, which worked for me for a while until it didn't work anymore. I also got a "You Win" and "You Lost" screens at the same time so it was quite confusing what was going on. |
| Oct 3 11:56:51 | 3h 27m | Shutdown | ♥ 1 | There's definitely potential here, got a little frustrated from jumping as I felt that I had to jump with near-perfect timing to reach a higher platform and some times the jump input wasn't working. Still, a very nice game and congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 3 12:13:40 | 16m 49s | Prickle | ♥ 4 | Cute visuals and interesting puzzles, great job on the submission! |
| Oct 3 13:08:34 | 54m 54s | ICEomation | ♥ 2 | Survived 256 seconds, still sweating. Great job on the game and congrats on submission. π I feel that this game could go a long way with a bit of polish, such as sound effects when building, when fish/ice is ready, when ice melts etc..., would also be nice to have some sort of timer/indicator of when the ice is going to melt. |
| Oct 3 14:51:10 | 1h 42m | Veggie Rush | ♥ 4 | Really nice and relaxing game, really appreciate the effort of showing the whole farming building/area even though most of the game happens in the greenhouse. Funnily enough, I also made a game about vegetables, so this was nice to see π Congrats on the submission! My only complaint would be that the texts/icons for player controls were sometimes a bit too transparent to see. |
| Oct 3 15:30:12 | 39m 02s | Gacha Fever | ♥ 1 | Really nice take on combining survivor-like games and the theme. A few typos here and there, but overall an amazing experience. Congrats on submission! |
| Oct 3 15:39:38 | 9m 26s | THE RAT - Adventures in a limited space | ♥ 1 | Had a bit of trouble trying to get the rat to eat wall tiles that were above them but still it was a nice little game. Congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 3 16:10:40 | 31m 02s | FELL OUT | ♥ 3 | Definitely the best looking game I've played during the jam so far, the music was nice too. My main complaint is that overall the game plays a bit too slowly; lots of lines of dialogue with no way to skip through them, the character and the boat move quite slowly and there's plenty of backtracking due to the fetch quests. Still, this was an amazing work for a game jam, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 3 16:48:24 | 37m 44s | Bucket Buffet | ♥ 2 | Oh man, I feel like a horrible person knocking all that food to the floor. This was a nice and short game, good job and congrats on the submission! π |
| Oct 3 16:58:43 | 10m 19s | Hell Space Ltd. | ♥ 0 | Probably the goofiest game I've played during this jam, great job π Would've loved a restart button somewhere as I was soft-locked during my first playthrough but luckily managed to beat the game during my second playthrough. |
| Oct 3 18:59:29 | 2h 00m | Modular | ♥ 1 | There's definitely potential here; the graphics are great and using abilities from killed enemies feels satisfying. As some others have already mentioned, moving abilities into inventory seems to sometimes oddly fail and the hitbox of enemies doesn't completely match their sprites. Still, I had a great time with this one, thank you for making the game and congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 4 11:38:46 | 16h 39m | Limited Space | ♥ 2 | Really interesting take on the theme and really clean look. Great job and congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 4 11:58:33 | 19m 47s | Bubble Pets | ♥ 1 | That was funny π Good job and congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 4 13:23:47 | 1h 25m | In Search of Space | ♥ 4 | Really nice-looking game and great have some story bits to connect with the gameplay. Would've been nice to unlock some shortcuts or new tools as you play since currently you mostly repeat going from starting point to another point, then back to start. Still this was great for a jam game, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 4 13:59:01 | 35m 14s | Limi### Space (2 players) | ♥ 2 | Super trippy but awesome experience. The storytelling at the start was a very nice touch. |
| Oct 4 14:26:17 | 27m 16s | Pandalele | ♥ 1 | That was a nice and chill game, really enjoyed listening to the music playing in the background. Congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 4 19:06:48 | 4h 40m | Sip & Slime | ♥ 2 | Really cozy and well polished game. Great job and congrats on the submission! |
| Oct 4 19:11:45 | 4m 57s | If I Fits, I Sits! | ♥ 1 | Very creative and cute game. The only thing missing are cat noises. Great job and congrats for submission! |
| Oct 4 19:43:24 | 31m 39s | Perse Auki Aavikolla | ♥ 2 | I wasn't very good at this game (best score 81) but enjoyed it nonetheless. Nice visuals too. Personally, would've liked that the pickups were more noticable (maybe something like an outline or flashing?). I didn't even realize on my first few playthroughs that the white stick-like things were guns that could be picked up. All-in-all, great job on the game and congrats on submission! |
| Oct 4 20:06:04 | 22m 40s | Art - Official Intelligence (an AI fever dream) | ♥ 0 | This game made me realize that I actually wouldn't mind watching a devlog of someone trying to make a game using AI, interesting stuff here. The game itself could've used some QoL improvements, mainly text skipping and faster walking speed, music if possible. Still, made me chuckle a few times, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 4 20:22:54 | 16m 50s | Burger Blitz | ♥ 1 | Burger-flipping simulator, really interesting idea π Personally, wasn't a fan on being an one-handed chef, not being able to pick up stuff while holding a knife/spatula, but I guess this way there was more challenge. Great job and congrats on submission! |
| Oct 4 22:26:05 | 2h 03m | The Aqua-Eyed Banana | ♥ 1 | While I felt that the story was jumping through the events a bit too fast, the mood, music and words were definitely on point. Thank you sharing the story and ending it on a positive note, and congrats on submission! |
| Oct 5 13:44:26 | 15h 18m | Single Circle | ♥ 1 | Interesting story game, feels cute in some sections and tense in others. I got the 3rd ending on my first playthrough, skipped the poem there by on my 2nd playthrough wrote this: _The time is flowing like a stream Seastars are blinking back at me Yet thereβs nothing I can do And ocean deep is precious blue._ ...and happened to get the True Normal Ending somehow π Thanks for the game and congrats on submission! |
| Oct 5 15:21:55 | 1h 37m | Carrotiles | ♥ 1 | Really nice and chill game, great job and congrats on submission! Minor QoL suggestions: Hide retry button while map is open (accidentally clicked on it a few times) and let players to close the map with right-click for faster game flow. |
| Oct 5 15:51:56 | 30m 01s | Shell Smash! | ♥ 4 | Interesting action game, having both melee and ranged weapons was nice and the ouch sound was kinda funny; would've been nice if there were sound effects when hitting enemies as well. The inventory management for removing items could've been clearer as I was having hard time seeing which piece I had selected. I also think I encountered some sort of max HP bug where I could tank ~10 hits from enemies without health going down. Still this was a nice game, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 5 21:25:21 | 5h 33m | Confession Room | ♥ 2 | Really interesting story, the visuals in the confession room are especially great. Something weird happened during my 2nd playthrough where there were 2 choice boxes constantly in the background during dialogue. Would've also liked to be able to change my choices with WASD. Still this was a very nice experience, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 5 21:39:44 | 14m 23s | Hello, Darkness | ♥ 2 | Nice and short game. I somehow managed to lose the first rope that I made which extended the play time a bit π Design-wise, the items disappearing encourages players to move very slowly and carefully which I personally didn't find very fun. What do you think about making the candle burn-out after some time (could then be re-lit back at the campfire), could give players more sense of urgency. All-in-all, great jam game and congrats on submission! |
| Oct 6 17:22:31 | 19h 42m | Too Maneon Loots | ♥ 2 | Really interesting game, both the BGM and visuals are very nice. The gameplay boils down to checking items with more/bigger numbers and dragging everything else to trash, which makes it _feels_ like there's not much strategic elements here and instead about how fast you can move your mouse. The huge amount of loot reminds me of ARPG games like Path of Exile where monsters drop literally hundreds of loot items and you can have so called "loot filters" which hide low-tier, undesired loot. I would love to see a similar feature here either as a rare equippable accessory, or maybe a passive skill that could be unlocked after you've achieved enough score in a previous playthrough? In any case, this was a great entry, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 7 13:24:33 | 20h 02m | Mini Mason | ♥ 1 | This was a nice puzzle game, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 8 12:48:26 | 23h 23m | SPACE: Spaceship Pilot - Asteroid Collision Escape | ♥ 1 | Interesting game. Could really use some visual/sound effects for weapons shooting at asteroids. Still, congrats on submission! |
| Oct 8 13:23:24 | 34m 58s | Escape from the clutches | ♥ 1 | Amazing work for a jam game. I have mainly 2 small complaints. In these types of games I try to animation-cancel basic attacks if possible, in this game when I try to animation-cancel by looking at animations I seem to often cancel the damage from my basic attack, so I found it more accurate to look at enemy health bar dropping for good timing. Would've liked if there was a much clearer visual effect to show the exact moment when a basic attack would hit. My second issue is with getting ultimate charges from enhanced abilities. It partly discourages you from using abilities so that you can get charges at the right timing, but this lowers your overall DPS. On the other hand, if you spam abilities and happen to get a chance to gain ultimate charge, it feels like you were lucky just because that specific ability was not on cooldown. I would've much preferred if ultimate charges were gained from well-timed guards or animation-cancels. Still, this was a great jam entry and really enjoyed playing it. Kudos also on nice sprites, music and voice acting, and congrats on submission. |
| Oct 8 13:29:44 | 6m 20s | A Better Place | ♥ 2 | Really nice looking game! |
| Oct 8 16:21:56 | 2h 52m | Spacetour Express | ♥ 1 | Really clean looking game, congrats on submission! |
