May 2 15:09:45		Bail Out!	♥ 1	Nice little game, the pico8 graphics give it a little Paperboy vibe. Like already reported, the collisions are a bit unforgiving, but you get used to it. Definitely easier with a gamepad than with the keyboard, at least for me. I would have preferred the money spread a bit less randomly, to help me devise optimal strategies. Extra humour points for the donut mechanics!
May 2 15:40:31	30m 46s	Waves of Chess	♥ 2	An excellent idea, and well executed! Definitely needs some balancing, as the upgrades make everything a bit too easy. I'm a decent chess player and easily reached wave 30 without using any upgrades or piece fusions, by just luring enemy pieces into my pawns, and using the king to finish them. Only the queens were a bit problematic. Some suggestions: - please fix the black/white alternation when the board size increases ^^; - allow to place pieces on the back ranks instead of just the first two - include more pieces from chess variants such as the Janus, Camel, etc. Good job using Godot and making a web version that simply worked on my Android phone!
May 2 16:01:26	20m 55s	Cat and Box	♥ 1	A really excellent take on the genre. Great level design. The puzzles were increasingly challenging and in perfect order (except maybe 14 which felt slightly harder than 15) and not large or complex enough to be boring (like some Sokoban levels tend to be). Did you plan for switches of different colours? That would be interesting, too.
May 2 21:16:51	5h 15m	notepad game	♥ 0	Okay, that is a very strange entry. But I guess it qualifies as a game! Well done.
May 3 14:54:25	17h 37m	HEXX	♥ 1	Okay, I spent a lot more time on this game than I should have. The concept is simple and reminds me of a game I played some 30 years ago (I can't remember if it had holes in the board, though) but it's pretty solid. Good thing that you could write an AI within the time constraints instead of just making a two-player game!
May 3 15:03:27	9m 02s	Kiss, Marry, Kill	♥ 2	This is the first time I ever played a dating sim, and, well, I even played several times in order to see more dialogues. Good job on the mood and artwork. Just FYI, I first tried the HTML5 version on my Android phone and got stuck but it seems like all the controls could be made to work well on a phone.
May 3 15:09:59	6m 32s	Peso	♥ 4	This looks extremely nice! I'm afraid I can only vote for graphics and music, because I couldn't get the pieces to rotate when playing the HTML5 version on my phone. If I get near a computer before the deadline, I will male sure to come back and amend my comment!
May 3 15:23:11	13m 12s	Spectral Fingers	♥ 1	I had a lot of fun playing as bacccbdulehramanaltl from MffsqqpomiahNOYESesopppotamia! Quite hard to master on a phone, because your finger hides the screen, but it worked 😄
May 3 16:08:18	45m 07s	Summoning	♥ 1	I have tried for a very long time but was unable to win a single fight, despite clicking quite aggressively and trying to upgrade as much stuff as possible.. An easier difficulty level would be welcome! Apart from that, the pixel art is extremely well done, I loved it.
May 3 16:20:33	12m 15s	mouche(s)?	♥ 0	Excellent polish for a pico8 entry! The throwing mechanics were a bit tricky to master, but the rest worked well. The fly sfx is exactly as annoying as one would expect.
May 3 16:33:25	12m 52s	Summon the Intern	♥ 1	Thanks for the game, I loved angering n+1s. It's exactly the kind of game that tend to make me really too nervous, like Overcooked and the likes, but the humour made up for it. Excellent look and feel, and the controls are non-frustrating. Also loved the 80s vibe of the music.
May 3 18:42:03	2h 08m	The Weaver from the remote hamlet	♥ 3	Excellent job, guys! Loved the puzzles, they made me long for more, with more runes and more combinations. Loved the story, too; very cthulhuesque. Congrats on devising such a good combination of both, it felt very well thought! Everything is extremely well polished visually, too; if I had one suggestion it would be to use a pixellated font.
May 3 19:10:08	28m 05s	Path of Aratron	♥ 1	An excellent entry, as expected from you! 😊 Surprisingly playable even for the pico8 resolution (thankfully thengame allows to reajust nodes spatially). I rushed through all the levels because I'm a programmer and it's exactly my kind of game, but the difficulty curve seemed very comfortable and I'm pretty sure complete beginners will enjoy it, too. Looking forward to more levels and more actions!
