| Apr 16 16:05:36 | Unpetrify | ♥ 2 | Exploring the world was a lot of fun, though I raised too many skeletons... I wasn't sure what to do after exploring, so I mined all the resources... but didn't figure out if there was an end (although the screen went tinted green at some point?) The simple graphics really work. Thanks! | |
| Apr 16 16:47:06 | 41m 30s | Summonundrum | ♥ 2 | I liked planning my combos to take down chains of enemies - around level 6 it started to get frantic and I felt limited by how quickly I could navigate the icons! I wonder if every ability had a unique key (QWE/ASD/ZXC) it I could go further. |
| Apr 17 01:11:58 | 8h 24m | The Weaver from the remote hamlet | ♥ 3 | Really enjoyed playing - though I felt I was just brute forcing the permutations rather than having a logical theory for why I was extending my patterns. (Maybe I missed some clues in the art or text?) |
| Apr 17 14:55:35 | 13h 43m | SUMMOGON | ♥ 1 | Great little puzzle game! I loved how the tutorial was integrated into the play experience. I wish the later puzzles hadn't given me hints about what card were correct though... |
| Apr 17 15:10:39 | 15m 04s | Indistinguishable From Magic | ♥ 1 | Really brought back tech support memories for me! Rushing from place to place to repeat the same almost mindless procedures but the list growing faster than the you can solve them... |
| Apr 17 18:08:24 | 2h 57m | Gravenguard: Rift Protectors | ♥ 2 | Fun! It's a little hard to tell what is happening in the battle early on (maybe that's by design?). Got everything leveled up to 30+ and needed levels 4+! |
| Apr 17 18:18:43 | 10m 19s | ⌰⟒⏁⍜ (leto) | ♥ 1 | Best I've played so far! Wasn't sure if it was going to loop forever though... (one nit: web version, sometimes a second key press wasn't registered) |
| Apr 18 14:29:28 | 20h 10m | Horrors from Beyond - The Bayou | ♥ 2 | The introduction was great - I really liked it's art style and the voice over! I was super excited to explore the mansion. (Kept getting crashes so didn't get to finish the game unfortunately.) |
| Apr 18 14:45:48 | 16m 20s | Split-Decision | ♥ 3 | Nice job. simple fun game with lots of replay value - took me a couple tries to understand how my interactions modified the light though. |
| Apr 18 15:09:24 | 23m 36s | Summon the Armada | ♥ 1 | Really nice to see games that focus on bypassing the enemy instead of destroying it! Flying the ship takes some practice... and collisions get a little weird by the asteroids. |
| Apr 18 15:21:21 | 11m 57s | Type My Name | ♥ 4 | Looks incredible, really love the art style - any chance of a web version? |
| Apr 18 18:55:47 | 3h 34m | Matthew, Emissary of Balance | ♥ 2 | Nice! I had fun defending my castle against the waves. The music really works with your concept. I kept running into a problem where I couldn't pick up more tree leaves - sometimes even at the beginning of the level when I had 0! Bones always seemed to work. It also seemed weird that I could plant trees on top of each other, and it'd be nice to be able to select units with the keyboard so I wouldn't need the mouse. (Edit: I played a few more times and it seems like there is some progression in the maximum I can pick up, so maybe that's an element of the game - of course not being able to pick up any at the beginning seems like a bug.) |
| Apr 18 19:15:11 | 19m 24s | Exorcist Pianist | ♥ 1 | Neat graphics, I liked the game overall. I expected some sort of melody to arise out of the music I was playing - maybe the patterns could fit a piece of standard music in their order/timing and "keeping rhythm" would control the sanity? Thanks! |
| Apr 18 19:22:57 | 7m 46s | The Freakency | ♥ 2 | Nice little mini-game - wanted more! |
| Apr 19 17:23:05 | 22h 00m | Oil Creatures | ♥ 2 | I liked the art and it was was a fun little clicker... but I didn't feel like there was any way I could lose so maybe some type of timer would make me want to reply it to beat my previous time? Also I'm not sure if any of my upgrades ever took, the unit displays didn't show any change and I didn't know if I was upgrading all of them or just the last one clicked? (Also, in general I couldn't tell which unit I had selected.) |
| Apr 19 17:32:10 | 9m 05s | The Unsummoning | ♥ 3 | I love fun typing games! I really feel like typing correctly and quickly is a lost art - glad to see things that bring it back. While some repetition was nice, I felt like the word bank was maybe a bit small and I got tired of seeing the same ones (or maybe I didn't get to a high enough level!0. I especially like the touch there you had to type the menu names to work the menu (though maybe if you click on them it should show a hint at the bottom.) Good use of simple 2d art too. |
| Apr 19 19:04:11 | 1h 32m | Ghostslayer | ♥ 2 | Did not get very far but was definitely running and firing. It ran well on Firefox but I couldn't bring the spell book up. On Chrome I could bring the spell book up but the framerate was unplayable and the screen was clipped. |
| Apr 19 19:11:51 | 7m 40s | Bard Summoner | ♥ 1 | Sounds like a neat idea - I couldn't make it work though. Sound didn't play consistently, movement was extremely hard to control and keys often didn't register as being pressed - hopefully you'll get the issues worked out. Good luck with your debugging! |
| Apr 19 19:23:18 | 11m 27s | Summon Cats | ♥ 4 | Really cute cat art and nice music. I ended up trying every possible combination trying to find one that summoned all the cats at once looking for some logic puzzle. To be honest it felt more like a little piece of interactive art more than a game - still fun though! |
| Apr 19 21:32:44 | 2h 09m | The Summoning of IN-SI-LA | ♥ 3 | Really enjoyed the interactive fiction and it's great that choices actually lead to different dialog and endings. I played through to two of the four endings, and while I completed my mission I'm not sure I could have done it in one try without getting lucky (but maybe I missed some clues). The art worked well and the audio too. My main feedback would be that the text pace was a bit slow (even when sped up with space) and it didn't seem like the order I asked the question in mattered (so that felt like a "false choice"). Thanks for the story! |
| Apr 23 19:09:00 | 93h 36m | Devotion - A fairytale | ♥ 1 | Liked the pixel art and the free-form nature of the little puzzles, though maybe they were a bit easy? I thought the interaction worked okay - my biggest stumbling block was on maybe the 5th puzzle involving some triangles I didn't realize were interactive. (I think I should've realized I needed to explore more from the third puzzle.) |
| Apr 23 19:35:44 | 26m 44s | Vassal | ♥ 1 | Surprisingly addictive! I really wanted to save my astronauts... and figure out the range on the gravity! Got to the second ship, but had trouble figuring out how to land it. I also gave up on trying to destroy asteroids - not sure how many hits it takes but it seems like a lot! |
