Apr 16 06:11:06 Illusions of Grandeur ♥ 1 very neat concept, I love mind bending puzzle games and this is no exception. the level design is super neat! a couple light critiques would be the characters movement is very slow, and the experience of placing blocks felt a little tricky to get right. great entry and congrats!
Apr 16 06:20:03 8m 57s Cat Wizard ♥ 1 love the cat animation and the idea of a cat summoning baloons. It was tough to understand how I was progressing, but I did manage to defeat the candlestick. I really like the idea of entering in combos to get things to happen in the game -- definitely an idea worth exploring further!
Apr 16 06:26:28 6m 25s Escape from zoo ♥ 0 The art is definitely the standout here. Very great looking impressionistic art. Echoing the sentiments above, however, I did get stuck, my character disappeared after going left cause I thought I got stuck in a loop. would love to see this concept explored further though! reminds me of the game gris a little bit.
Apr 16 06:42:30 16m 02s Tao ♥ 2 Huge fan of this -- such a solid pico8 entry. the level design was top notch and the mechanics were super interesting. and the art! amazing feel. had a blast playing this one.
Apr 16 18:19:19 11h 36m Underworld Kitchen ♥ 2 Once I got the hang of what I was supposed to do I got into this one! Nice job with the lighting and the general feel -- the controls are nice and fluid and the attack feels pretty fair. One suggestion would be to add more audio cues, for attacking, summoning, etc -- which would definitely provide some valuable audio feedback during the experience. nice entry!
Apr 16 18:30:39 11m 20s Exorcist Pianist ♥ 1 great entry, super fun -- kind of reminds me of the beginning of frog fractions for some reason -- loved the sequencing of numbers. one suggestion for audio might be to include a backing track, and have the notes you play work with the backing track, rather than just a single major scale-- that might make the game feel more musical. instantly engaging game, and clear objective just from the visual information alone, so great work there!!
Apr 17 03:01:27 8h 30m Cat Summon Simulator ♥ 2 puzzle design top notch on this one -- really clever use of rules and the expansion of the mechanic was clever. love the little cat designs too. managed to get through all 8 puzzles. great design, congrats!
Apr 17 03:14:30 13m 03s Revenge on Grim ♥ 2 Strong VS vibes with this one and really fun! Nice work, I liked the rotating skeletons. Great work pulling this together
Apr 17 03:55:48 41m 18s Star Seed: Apocalypse ♥ 2 nice entry! the art is definitely a standout for me -- the colors and character design are excellent. I think something that could help is some sound effects for attacks, damage, etc.. would help build immersion. also I admit I got jump scared when the music started after the dialogue, haha. Nice work on this one :)
Apr 17 04:03:39 7m 51s Readybuns ♥ 1 how did you manage to make this on your PHONE!? okay despite it being one level I love the idea and it was pretty fun. my best time was 9.48 seconds.
Apr 17 04:29:02 25m 23s Diner Dash ♥ 1 love the twist on the theme -- love how I could pick up on what to do even with such a low-res game! I think that speaks to the power of the design. definitely felt the pressure, but just enough to feel really engaged the whole time. great entry
Apr 17 05:09:40 40m 38s Summoner's Song ♥ 1 I was able to play for a little bit but then my browser crashed! What I did get to experience was pretty interesting though. It took me a minute to understand that the keys were Q,W and E -- I mistook the E for a <- arrow key.
Apr 17 05:23:47 14m 07s Throes of the Javelin ♥ 3 absolute banger of a game and a terrific entry. love the art aesthetic and the moody vibes, and the sound design work is extremely solid. well done y'all, definitely a game i'd love to play with a controller -- would definitely love to see a build with that supported!
Apr 17 06:32:42 1h 08m Blood Rite ♥ 3 Pixel art is a huge standout for me here -- fun concept too! I went the rat farming approach, which seems to yield success. I did struggle in understanding the UI, I'll admit. The audio was on point. Overall though a nice entry!
Apr 17 16:57:44 10h 25m Emperor's Gems ♥ 2 awesome work -- the feedback you get from the buttons is very satisfying, and the resource management loop is pretty nice! and the art is so cute!
Apr 17 19:01:07 2h 03m Hell's On Hold ♥ 4 Very neat art & audio, and once I understood the task, the game picked up. Really neat idea, the deduction gameplay element felt pretty rewarding when you got it right. I do wish there was a way to speed up text, or click through text, as I found myself waiting a lot to read the information, when It would have been nice to just see it pop up immediately if I wanted. Solid entry and thanks for the mac os build! <3
Apr 17 19:22:32 21m 25s Gods of the Forest ♥ 1 The writing in this game was excellent! Well done there. Also enjoy being able to click through dialogue so I can read it at a faster pace. Enjoyed the platforming and spellcasting too. Great solo entry.
Apr 17 19:26:58 4m 26s Nightshroud ♥ 1 Cute art, easy to pick up and play, and thanks for the tutorial! I do agree that having a more visible cooldown might help with the experience (perhaps knowing how much time it will take to get your move back with a progress bar?) -- that way you could strategize around that progress bar.
Apr 17 19:36:14 9m 16s Kiss, Marry, Kill ♥ 2 funny dialog and also my favorite game to play IRL, in summoning form! music would have helped with the experience and perhaps more polish on the UI and visuals, but a solid entry and pretty fun to read through all the dialog options :D
Apr 17 19:45:11 8m 57s Shenanigans at Schmendy's ♥ 1 so much tomfoolery excellent voice acting and the gameplay was super easy to pickup and instantly enjoyable, which I love. great work y'all
Apr 17 19:55:14 10m 03s Clone Stacking ♥ 1 Awesome puzzle game entry -- the pixel art style was top notch, loved the particles and the camera shake behavior. I do agree with the above that a reset option would be nice -- and I encountered the same bug as above which I think soft locked me? Also, I had to use Z as my input, but the game was telling me A -- so something funky is going on there. A great game though!
Apr 17 19:59:35 4m 21s Poisonous Pact ♥ 1 Cute short game, the pixel art is a highlight for me! Beautiful work there. Pretty easy to pick up and understand as well. Would love to see more expansion on this one -- perhaps additional levels if you plan on expanding on this game. Nice entry!
Apr 17 20:07:37 8m 02s Bean and Brew ♥ 5 Lol this game is so chaotic and I love it -- great art style, banger music, fun gameplay, really excellent work all around. the 2.5d style is super neat too. I love how the audio changes per level, which helps keep the game feel fresh. Also that last level is hilarious. Love this entry, great work y'all
Apr 17 20:18:17 10m 40s Demon Lord Revenge ♥ 2 yay for controller based games! nice bullet hell entry and easy to pick up. I will say I got jumpscared by the intro SFX, it was a lot louder than the music! Fun and easy to get into. I liked it a lot :)
Apr 17 21:46:16 1h 27m Alvo Canto ♥ 3 Had a lot of fun with this one -- the game felt smooth and responsive, and there was a mystery to what I was doing at first that I was interested in understanding. I love that the dialogue forced me to use my brain a bit and really think about what I was doing -- after a few failed attempts I really started to get the hang of it. The art is fabulous, the game seems really nicely designed and coded, and holy moly the sound design is stellar. I love the pitch-shifted vocals speaking in what sounds similar to Simlish but more slurry and strange, fitting the mood nicely. The ambience of the cauldron bubbling, the anticipation buildup of cooking, so good. It kind of reminds me of Breath of the Wild's cooking experience honestly. the way the music changes when you choose a mood / nightime or daytime is an excellent touch. All of this makes my brain very happy and really has a huge impact on my experience playing the game, its excellent audio feedback that keeps me engaged and builds anticipation. I will say I wasn't _too_ clear on how to proceed after making the rahmen, but I did manage to get through a few rounds using my intuition, and figured I should match the number of ingredients that I used to make the first creature. I also found that the book didn't reveal more to me other than the Rahmen and the Blog -- maybe I missed something? great work y'all!
Apr 18 19:58:01 22h 11m Phasebound ♥ 1 excellent work! love this mechanic, love me a good platformer. the song is rad, the sfx are on point, feels very arcady and classic.
Apr 18 23:53:09 3h 55m Out of Chalk ♥ 2 this game is sick! the music vibes, the art is stellar, game plays smooth, dialog makes me laugh. the puzzle solving element requires some lateral thinking but in the best possible way. also extra cool to recognize some celeste modders in this jam... hi <3
