| Apr 17 09:54:23 | Dark Roast Cafè | ♥ 1 | The visual presentation is fantastic, super coherent. And along with the music, you set a great mood. It feels very well polished, and I enjoyed successfully paying back my debt! I love that you can continue running your shop after you win, great touch. | |
| Apr 17 10:47:39 | 53m 16s | Bergmål | ♥ 3 | I love the presentation and the art. You did a great job setting the mood, I was intrigued throughout! Love a good twist ending. There are obviously a lot of systems in place here, and with the amount of art you had to do... I can see why you said you were too ambitious haha! I'm so happy that it resulted in a complete experience though, I really enjoyed it and would love to see more of the story! |
| Apr 17 11:28:43 | 41m 04s | Salmoning | ♥ 2 | Nice puzzle game with funny dialog to keep things interesting. I brought my salmon to the breeding grounds! Giving a puzzle game some personality with the fish was a great idea, even if it is completely absurd. I enjoyed your game, thank you for making it! |
| Apr 17 12:59:16 | 1h 30m | Bendirat | ♥ 2 | I love the world building. You did a great job making this little town feel alive. I tried so hard to understand the puzzle, but I just couldn't connect the dots unfortunately. I would have loved a hint. The writing is so good, and I was genuinely intrigued throughout. The twist ending had me even more intrigued! |
| Apr 17 14:09:33 | 1h 10m | Incorporeal | ♥ 3 | I really like the world building and the mood you have built here. Exploring the world was fun, and combining materials was engaging. I'm glad I created a body on my first playthrough, because I may have sacrificed a squirrel or two on my second... oops xD |
| Apr 17 14:43:49 | 34m 16s | Purrfect Stack | ♥ 3 | So many cats! All beautifully illustrated. I reached 12.6 ach with 67 cats. I thought my tower was strong, but I was mistaken. Each new cat having an introduction was a great touch. I also really like how the water was animated, it's so effective! The physics felt fair as well. Overall, a very well-polished experience! |
| Apr 18 05:46:04 | 15h 02m | Summon craft: Ritual Simulator | ♥ 1 | The drawing mechanic is great, and choosing ingredients is fun. I unfortunately did not understand why my rituals were failing on my first play, as I didn't know you could scroll the ingredients. Some guidance would have been very helpful. If I hadn't read another's comment about scrolling the ingredients, I would have given up. I'm glad I didn't though, it was quite fun when I realized I had more options! I played to the end, and enjoyed my experience. |
| Apr 18 06:32:35 | 46m 31s | Wannabe Warlock | ♥ 1 | There are a lot of systems in place here, nice work! So many animations as well, I enjoyed exploring all the different ways I could die. The timing is very tight, there is almost no leniency to get those demons summoned in time. I would have loved a bit more time to prepare between waves. I got stuck when I started summoning two demons, I could no longer channel one of the demons, and it kept killing me. I like what you've created here though, thanks for making it! |
| Apr 18 14:01:23 | 7h 28m | Don't Get Summoned! | ♥ 2 | 43 tasks in 5:24. What a great game! Super hectic but in the best way possible. My favorite task was the country locator. I was sometimes unsure when I actually failed or succeeded in the tasks, the sounds sometimes sounded negative, but the satisfaction bar rose. A small issue in an otherwise enjoyable experience. Also, the portraits are fantastic! Great job. |
| Apr 18 15:21:43 | 1h 20m | Summon Salmon | ♥ 1 | The art is great, and the difficulty ramps up nicely. The hitboxes are a bit hard to gauge, but chasing a high score was fun! |
| Apr 19 10:00:03 | 18h 38m | Fall of the Ritual | ♥ 3 | firefox_k3B7KzR8m7.png Nice amount of challenge. The buttons were a bit difficult to memorize, even after reading the help section. Having some icons and button prompts on screen during gameplay would have been very helpful. But I got the hang of it, and found the bullet hell to be challenging but fair, a good balance. I also really enjoyed the animations! The backgrounds are nice, the music is great, and you set a good mood. Overall, solid entry! Nice job! |
| Apr 19 10:48:41 | 48m 38s | Motivation | ♥ 1 | I liked that a lot! Nice job with the writing, it was intriguing without being too cryptic. I'm sure writing with a certain shape in mind was quite a challenge for yourself! The art is great, very coherent, and I loved that you decorated the room with the items that are summoned. I would love to play more of a game like this! Great job, regardless of it being your first solo entry! |
| Apr 20 15:03:24 | 28h 14m | Salmoning | ♥ 5 | I'm sad I didn't play on day one, because I bet it was an absolute blast to bike around with tons of people. I still had fun though. I love the sounds of the bike, and riding around in the first-person camera was my favorite. The bike controls are great, and the speed boost from staying on the roads being balanced by having to avoid traffic is just really well done. The GPS works so well, that's really dang impressive. This world feels very alive, and I really enjoyed spending time in it. I would have loved for a couple different tasks to complete, but the deliveries kept me entertained enough to buy a crown! Great job to everyone involved. |
| Apr 20 18:42:19 | 3h 38m | Parmigiano Rolliano | ♥ 3 | That was great. Amazing art, controls felt nice, and the challenge of making it to the bottom was tense without feeling too punishing when I failed the first couple of times. Nice work! |
| Apr 21 07:47:18 | 13h 04m | Devotion - A fairytale | ♥ 1 | Great choice of color palette. The mood is through the roof! I really liked experimenting with all the items, and I felt the experimentation was very intuitive and fun. I'm glad I wasn't handheld through it, it added to the mystery and fun. The puzzles were challenging enough to keep me engaged without being frustrating. The art and animations are so dang good. The music is very fitting. Overall, just a fantastic jam entry, you should be proud. Thank you for making this! |
| Apr 30 14:09:13 | 222h 21m | The Weaver from the remote hamlet | ♥ 5 | That was such a nice experience. The art, the sound, the story, the puzzles, all very well done. I had to play twice. On my first playthrough, I felt like a hero. On my second playthrough, I felt like a monster! I had the hardest time on the owl puzzle, but the eureka moment when I figured it out was great! My favorite part is how much complexity came out of very simple weaving rules. I never felt frustrated or that the solution was out of reach. A really enjoyable experience, great job to everyone involved! |
