Oct 6 23:17:35 Become A Hundred Thousandaire Or Have Fun Trying ♥ 1 I like this game you can make money in it
Oct 24 01:39:59 410h 22m ISOPODRICK ♥ 1 Very cute, like the rolling and enemy designs. The rendering style and noise the smaller bugs make as they get closer are really cool. Reminds me of Bugdom lol
Oct 24 01:50:51 10m 52s Sugarglider in the Oddforest ♥ 1 Really enjoy the atmosphere, seeing you used paper and pencil is very cool. Like others have mentioned, wasn't able to get branches to work (can grab them and hit the directional buttons, seems like maybe a particular rhythm is needed but I can't nail it). I think there's a lot of style here though and the fundamental movement of gliding and climbing is pretty immediately enjoyable. Very nice entry :)
Oct 24 01:57:31 6m 40s Changeling ♥ 1 Very cute idea, the theming and design of the game is nice. Like others have mentioned a little bit of QoL would go a long way to making this into a great little game. I think the idea of coin storage is neat but don't really know how best to use it, wonder if you could include some other mechanics that might make it more useful, like stacking coins of the same type or it sorting future coins out in some way. Love the punny name too, good job!
Oct 24 02:05:14 7m 43s 🐜 Antwars 🐜 ♥ 1 Super impressive given how it was made. I feel like being locked to only viewing the anthills deprived me of getting a better sense of the context of the game, wonder if tile-based movement/selection would've been better (probably not feasible given the time constraint, like mouse controls). Maybe I missed it, but what purpose does food do? I had a bunch of food but I never gained any more ants or anything like that. Overally, wish it was a bit easier to digest, but very impressed by the scope and content of the game regardless, great job!
Oct 25 00:50:31 22h 45m Tiny Creature Support Group ♥ 1 Cute, don't think I've ever played a text based jam game before
Oct 25 01:11:39 21m 08s Tiny Creatures Creator ♥ 1 Super unique, really funny, great job
Oct 25 14:04:21 12h 52m The Gegnome Project ♥ 2 This was really fun! Loved exploring the mechanics of all the items. One issue I ran into is that it seems like if you fail and play again, any items you bought in a previous run seemed not to be available to purchase. Easy enough to fix by reloading the page, but I did get confused and stuck for a bit before figuring it out. Once I got past that though and beat it I had a great time! Great effort on the art too, really high quality all around!
Oct 25 14:43:18 38m 57s City In My Sleeve ♥ 0 Took a bit to figure out the mechanics but I think I get it now. Seems you can spam E to create units, found it pretty easy to run around dodging guys while doing that which was fun. Not sure if you were only supposed to be able to make them slower but it felt like it made the game pretty easy. How many waves are there?
Oct 25 15:58:53 1h 15m Pseudopseudopodia, or amoeba walking simulator ♥ 1 Cool tech demo, love this sort of stuff
Oct 25 16:04:10 5m 17s Layers of Larva ♥ 1 This is pretty well fleshed out! Really like the mixed use of 3D and 2D assets, it works pretty well!
Oct 25 16:10:50 6m 40s MiniMayhem ♥ 1 I'm worried this'll sound like an insult but this really feels like more than the sum of its parts. Everything looks and plays great but the actual gameplay really feels complex and interesting despite the simple game pieces and systems. I'm super impressed, I'm tempted to put more time into this later!
Oct 25 16:21:08 10m 18s Migration of Tiny Creatures ♥ 0 Cute idea. Feels like it could be fleshed out into something super interesting. Like others I mostly tried to clump everyone together, it'd be cool to find ways to incentivize moving at different speeds or staying separate. Thought all the art was really cute
Oct 25 16:32:07 10m 59s Lil' Chimeras ♥ 0 This is a pretty promising first entry! Like others have mentioned some of the UI is confusing and the gameplay could be better fleshed out, but that's how it goes sometimes working solo (I had similar issues this compo lol). I think the idea here is really fun and a lot of the hard work with random chimeras and card playing are all solid, and that's impressive on its own. Great work!
Oct 25 16:37:48 5m 41s On a Good Bee Hive-or ♥ 1 Simple game but presented nicely. I figured it out but initially I had a hard time noticing which flowers had pollen, wish that was easier to see. The different endings really made this game, fun to try to see them all (are there just 3?)
Oct 25 17:19:36 41m 48s Buggie's Spider Golf ♥ 2 Super well fleshed out, a great number of thematic innovations on a golf game. I'm nauseous thinking about some of the math with the direction of the "floor" changing, impressed by how much is going on here.
