| Oct 8 03:31:33 | Tiny Territories | ♥ 1 | I love this cozy aesthetic! 🙂 At first I was a little worried that the game was going to be a bit too "cerebral" for my tired brain, but I was delighted to discover just how flexible the game's systems are to allow for multiple different solutions (or at least, that's what it feels like). Your minimalist UI, and *especially* your "happiness" indicators, go a really long way in easing the player's mental burden as they try to solve your intimidating-looking puzzles. Proud to say I was able to see this one through to the end! Great job! | |
| Oct 8 03:39:12 | 7m 39s | Kumamushi no Samurai | ♥ 2 | The character sprite's tippy-tap animation as it runs around is my favorite. 😄 Was kind of hard to judge where the hitboxes were, but fortunately once I got the hang of it I found them to be pretty generous! Wish there were more reasons to block, but I imagine some enemies probably had to get left on the cutting room floor to make the deadline. 🙂 |
| Oct 8 04:12:22 | 33m 10s | Butter Time | ♥ 4 | Easily the most adorable butter in the world. 😄 Great job with the wall jump mechanics! Those are usually pretty tricky to pull off. The surprise traversal shake-up near the end was a delight! |
| Oct 9 04:57:31 | 24h 45m | Minibot Super Championship | ♥ 5 | What a charming little game! I love the classroom aesthetic with the kids cheering their little toy machines on. 😄 I do wish the rounds maybe did last as long though? I didn't know what kind of game it was going to be until I created my first little guy, and I quickly realized that I didn't add any movement to him, so he was pretty useless. Rather than waiting the round out, I just reloaded the page. I think ideally a round should last 30 seconds max, to give me more opportunities to experiment with new builds and see what works/doesn't work. This is such a neat and solid idea, it would be great if players were incentivized to experiment with it more! |
| Oct 9 05:07:20 | 9m 49s | About Crayons and my garden | ♥ 1 | This was a very pleasant and relaxing game! 🙂 The art style and chiptune-y soundtrack complement each other so well! I do wish there were more characters to interact with. I was kind of disappointed that I ran out of unique NPCs after a few minutes (unless I missed something). Would love to see this expanded upon! |
| Oct 10 00:19:57 | 19h 12m | BeetleBall | ♥ 2 | Ridiculously ambitious game! I love the spin that you take on Rocket League. 🙂 If I had one complaint it might be that I'm not the biggest fan of being able to "explode" a golden ball by adding mass to it. It always felt bad when it happened (whether by accident or maliciously) and made the matches feel a lot longer than they had to be. 😕 Still, the personality and silliness of this game is off the charts, and I love how it brings people together on streams! Very excellent job with this one! 😄 |
| Oct 10 17:53:42 | 17h 33m | B&B: Bugs 'n' Breakfast | ♥ 2 | Very impressive for a Compo game! I especially love the extra thought that went into the gameplay feedback, such as when you're "done" squashing a pile of bugs and the eyeball indicator that let's you know when the inspector can see you. Would love to see a version of this with some kind of audio, even if it's just mouth sounds for when the bugs get squished or some general mumblings or vocalizations as the inspector walks around 😄 |
| Oct 10 21:12:48 | 3h 19m | Tiny Balance | ♥ 2 | I love the transition between home, commute, and work 😄 The abrupt change in music really sells it, too! I wasn't 100% sure how to avoid losing money (outside of avoiding cars). It seemed like there were some things in my path that I wasn't able to avoid that would cost me $20? Unless I'm missing some sort of jumping mechanic... PS I love how I can change my costume by pressing space, ESPECIALLY because it puts lil hats on my little pig children at home. 🤣 Nice job! |
| Oct 10 21:32:14 | 19m 26s | Lil Fella Killa | ♥ 2 | Finally, I get to fulfil my dream of being a Bliblie Exterminator! Untitled.png This one was pretty fun! I especially loved how y'all opted to forego an "open cabinet/door" mechanic, and instead had the players blast them open, to great comedic effect! 😄 |
| Oct 10 21:53:45 | 21m 31s | Don't feed the frog | ♥ 1 | A nice, fun, and simple idea with a cute aesthetic. 😄 With a little tweaking, it could make for a fun arcade game! I think my biggest frustration came from my character's movement speed. Because the chameleon moved about as fast as a falling bug, if a bug ever passed my vertical position, it was practically guaranteed that I wouldn't be able to recover from it. In general this wouldn't be too big of an issue, but far too often I would find myself getting blocked off by a falling spike in a way that would make it impossible for me to get a fly, which would then mean that it would fall below me and make it unobtainable, which was annoying. 😅 The rest of the game is very solid, design-wise, though! The spikes prevent players from just sticking their tongue out and waiting, and there's actual incentive to move up and down to collect them. If you just tweaked that ONE number that controls the vertical speed of the character, I think everything else in the game would click into place without any other changes. 😄 Good job with this one! |
| Oct 10 22:11:14 | 17m 29s | Swarmcore | ♥ 1 | This was a very pleasant little experience. 🙂 I think some kind of gentle ambient music music would go a long way in setting up the mood, but the silence of is feels like the next best thing. 😄 Something about the little pixels swarming around and dancing in the darkness just tickles my little ADHD brain. |
| Oct 12 02:20:12 | 28h 08m | Petri Plate Potpourri | ♥ 2 | wr.png Did I do that? |
| Oct 13 02:24:50 | 24h 04m | BoroPoro | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=00h33m25s) I felt like I was getting the hang of it near the end there. 👀 Maybe I'll pop it open again later and try to get higher on dat leaderboard. |
| Oct 13 02:29:03 | 4m 13s | Walk the Planck | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=00h53m08s) Y'all obviously killed it with the audio again, but I'm also a fan of the visual polish going on there, despite the simple sprite graphics. The shrinking/growing rings is such a great effect, and the "blueprint" style background is a great contrast to the other moving elements in the game. 👍 Add to that a novel game mechanic that is fun to mess around with, and it all comes together in a great, well-polished package! Great job all around! |
| Oct 13 02:35:54 | 6m 51s | Da Eg Hatcha | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=01h23m44s) All hail lil wormy!! I think the main mechanic here's got a lot of legs. 👀 I never quite got good enough to do wall jumps, but I feel like I could learn and practice and become an eg hatching masta. |
| Oct 13 02:39:43 | 3m 49s | Tiny Creatures as Us | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=01h43m05s) As always, I love the way you tend to prioritize "vibes" and "emotion" over classic gameplay elements when it comes to your designs. So glad that it seems to resonate with so many people! |
| Oct 13 02:42:23 | 2m 40s | Widdle Werewolves | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=01h59m58s) This is a pretty interesting take on the snake-like genre! 🐍 I wish the map was maybe a little smaller and it was easier to find enemies that would ANNIHILATE me at the beginning, but once I found a good path, it was smooth sailing 👍 |
| Oct 13 02:47:07 | 4m 44s | Adelie - When We Were Young | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=02h13m33s) Once again, this was just a nice, tight, polished action game experience 👍 This might be a personal preference, but I do feel like it would be great if I could cash in all of my fish when my PENGUIN was in the safe zone, rather than it being dependent on whether or not each individual FISH was in the zone. After a while, I felt like I had to be super slow and careful to fit in the zone, which felt a little antithetical to the fast-paced sliding mechanics of the game. Again, that may just be me, though. 😅 Personal preferences aside, this was an awesome game! |
| Oct 13 02:50:17 | 3m 10s | Insect Racing League | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=02h29m28s) I'm usually pretty "meh" when it comes to ring flying games, but the extra polish you put into the guiding trail, leaderboard ghosts, and different bugs actually made this a really fun experience that I wanted to keep playing despite the usual 10-minute time limit we usually put on playtests 😅 Great job! |
| Oct 13 02:53:45 | 3m 28s | Gob | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=02h46m07s) I love the absurdist escalation of this one 🤣 Plus, obvious bonus points for the lil wormy cameo 👍 👍 |
| Oct 13 02:56:37 | 2m 52s | I'm Next! | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=02h56m20s) The mechanics here are really solid! 👍 Would love to see some more levels to see how much mileage you can get out of 'em! |
| Oct 13 02:59:21 | 2m 44s | Poppet | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=03h07m37s) Sorry for any unintentional pain we may have caused making you watch us try desperately to use the microwave. 😅 The design, aesthetic, and overall execution of this game is both ambitious and really solid! 👍 I think with just a few minor bug fixes, this would be an excellent spooky experience. 🙂 |
| Oct 13 03:01:39 | 2m 18s | Petri Dish RogueLite | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=03h34m42s) I love what you did with the sliders. It's a genuinely unique way to handle upgrades that I haven't seen before. Would love to see what else you can do with it! |
| Oct 13 03:04:54 | 3m 15s | Blob, To the Top! | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=03h52m59s) Absolutely one of my favorites I've played so far! 🙂 Great job putting a bunch of polish in all the right places with the blobby shaders, eyeballs following the mouse, goopy SFX, and more! I think with a little tweaking to the control scheme, it could make for a great mobile game too! Great job all around! 👍 |
| Oct 13 03:07:26 | 2m 32s | Dr Shrink and the Horrors of the Infinite | ♥ 3 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2273720699?t=04h31m28s) I love how much mileage you were able to get out of designing a single level. The character's size really does change the whole dynamic of the traversal, which must have taken a lot of thought and planning. Well done! |
| Oct 13 03:12:18 | 4m 52s | ArachnoNinja | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=00h23m17s) Once I got the hang of the slicing controls, it was really satisfying to slice through all of the spidies! 👍 Now just put a secret at the top of the cliff at the end screen. 😏 |
| Oct 13 03:14:40 | 2m 22s | Shadow of the itty-bitties | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=00h54m08s) As a huge fan of Shadow of the Colossus, I am frankly embarrassed at how long it took me to notice what you were doing with this game. 🤣 Great job all around! |
| Oct 13 03:18:44 | 4m 04s | Emberlight | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=01h09m50s) This was a very atmospheric entry! Very ambitious to make a lighting-based game, well done! |
| Oct 13 03:20:58 | 2m 14s | Ego | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=01h40m36s) I can see myself coming back to this one to discover the other endings. 🙂 "Serious" games are quite the rarity in LD. Always happy to see 'em! |
| Oct 13 03:23:25 | 2m 27s | Window Creatures | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=02h05m35s) This is such a dope idea that I would love to see expanded upon. 👍 It reminds me of those little Desktop Companions back in the early days of Windows 😄 Would love to see something like that make a comeback! |
| Oct 13 03:25:40 | 2m 15s | Rattalion | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=02h29m09s) As you can tell, I kind of got into a bit of a trance with this one 😅 Great job! |
| Oct 13 03:28:45 | 3m 05s | Bug Squad | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=02h52m51s) Despite being overwhelmed by the tutorial, once I got into the game, I had a great time! Would love to see more levels on this one! |
| Oct 13 03:30:50 | 2m 05s | Skyfall | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=03h24m25s) I will proudly wear my 5th place medal 😎 (until someone steals it from me, lol) |
| Oct 13 03:33:03 | 2m 13s | Night Critter | ♥ 2 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=03h41m25s) Although there were moments when I raged a bit, it was only because I was LOCKED IN tryin' to get those bugs. I could feel my third eye opening near the end. 😄 Great job on this one! |
| Oct 13 03:35:56 | 2m 53s | Quantum 47x | ♥ 1 | [Thanks for submitting your game to stream!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2274205446?t=04h04m18s) This was such a cool take on the minigolf genre! I can totally see myself coming back to this to get better. 🙂 Great job on this one. One of my favorites! |
| Oct 14 21:00:05 | 41h 24m | Moldable Monster of Mine | ♥ 1 | What a charming entry! It's impressive what you're able to convey at such a low resolution. 🙂 I do wish that the different colored pixels gave me different abilities, but I totally get how that would be out of scope for a compo game. 😅 Very nice job with this one! |
| Oct 17 04:25:24 | 55h 25m | Miku's Minion Madness | ♥ 2 | This was a novel little idea! My personal favorite minion was the glass cannon Lemon Terminator 😎 I would've liked to see a bit more info about the cards before I played them (Size, move speed, attack range, etc.), but I can't say off the top of my head how you would go about explaining that information without the UI getting cluttered. Overall, nice job! |
| Oct 21 18:26:22 | 110h 00m | Moon Picnic | ♥ 2 | I really enjoyed this one! I love the polish that y'all put into the UI (particularly the level select) and the game mechanics themselves are pretty novel without being overwhelmingly confusing (which is a huge feat, given the chaos that is constantly unfolding on screen). I do think that if y'all were to map the abilities to some keyboard keys (like QWERT or 12345) it would make the experience feel a lot better and enhance the chaos and frenetic gameplay, but that's a minor complaint for an otherwise fantastic game! |
| Oct 23 19:01:06 | 48h 34m | Tiny Survival Tactics(Puzzle) | ♥ 1 | I'm really, really, *really* bad at these kinds of games. 😅 However, despite my obvious skill issue, I still had a lot of fun with this entry! I love how the little critters change sprites to indicate their effects on the other types of animals. 😄 Very nice job! (PS: Thanks for NOT showing me what the "minimum possible" steps is to solve a puzzle. It made me feel a lot less stupid about my solutions.) 🙃 |
