Oct 7 06:35:50 Tiny Creature Dodger ♥ 1 Enjoyed this little game. Clever way to show health loss, nice movements and color choice. Good luck with your future plans!
Oct 7 17:37:03 11h 01m Kill them with fire ♥ 1 Nice extermination game, enjoyed running around, then scared when found out swarm that left behind! Not sure if full health heals immediate or delayed
Oct 7 17:52:41 15m 38s Hold me closer ♥ 1 Very atmospheric little game, lovely light effect.
Oct 7 18:05:53 13m 12s Micro Wars ♥ 2 Simple but innovative gameplay, liked variations of microbes. Moody art. Lot of potential of develop. For example some enemies could slowly rotate themselves, clearing surrounding you created. Also would like some dash ability, because moving when on opposite side of enemy gives too little angle. @tuism I think spiked can be surrounded only one way (counter clockwise?)
Oct 7 18:26:19 20m 26s Tiny Friends :) ♥ 1 Interesting idea and puzzles, reminds of some retro or flash games, especially with that art style. Need some time to reread controls. Always wanted to toss some friends around.
Oct 7 18:31:18 4m 59s Flea Patrol ♥ 2 Nice game, good take on lemmings idea. It was so chaotic, sometimes not sure if I'm at control or they living by themselves.
Oct 7 19:04:55 33m 37s Ladybird Samurai ♥ 1 Great game, was confused a bit with aiming, also liked that you can change upgrades afterwards.
Oct 7 19:18:41 13m 46s Fifty Six LilyPads ♥ 1 Nice concept, games on graphs feels special. AI is understandable hard to create in limited time, but it does its job to showcase game. I think destroying every leaf is too strong move, would like some more stronger leaves that survive 2 or 3 move through them. Other suggestion might be roaming insect changing cell every turn in some determined direction.
Oct 7 20:06:38 47m 57s Butterjar ♥ 1 Beautiful style, puzzles are good and requires you to think.
Oct 7 20:36:48 30m 10s Welcome to the Jungle ♥ 1 Nice cute game. Interestengly, player is refusing to eat apples, on the other hand, he steals coins from other peacefully eating apples, and kicks them. Also at some point slimes got distracted by coin felt out of bounds.
Oct 8 15:55:12 19h 18m NebuLeet Troopers ♥ 1 Really neat game for a compo. Nice art with Dune vibes. It is has fair bit of randomness in it, but also requires strategic thinking. Currently I'm at level with 15 enemies charging through forest. There it became obvious that I should conserve more of starting troops. What I would like is a way to preview map, may be in form of briefing, like is it open terrain or attack from forest into field. Also I understand that this is like card game. Difference is in the input/output randomness. Here I click card and it's locked, instead of first drawing cards and playing them where player can control order.
Oct 8 16:32:25 37m 13s Moldable Monster of Mine ♥ 1 Neat relaxing game with unique idea and cute lowrez style. I ended up with my witch (or clown firefighter?) taking more aggresive approach, shooting all first rather than evading. Wish there would be some backtracking or maybe even metroidvania thing. Or even could be some rythm elements. Wish you good luck! witch.png
Oct 8 18:11:55 1h 39m Niblo and Mubbit ♥ 1 Great game about tiny creatures. Nice art and colors of them, which is emphased when they arranges in various patterns when you move them. Unexpected moral story ending. Level with wind took some time, but well, you can group them beforehand (oh, pun). Liked reference to 4 elements (rocks scared me, but they just staying firm later) Good luck!
Oct 8 18:28:45 16m 50s Attack on The Piper ♥ 1 Very creative, atmospheric game. Short phrases, yet gives all rats unique character, and so their wishes and motivations. Counting steps before tragedy (and Piper) really helps mood, as well as pipe sounds. I was very close on first walkthrough, but Piper got me. As afterthough, it's amuzing how well it works when you don't know what to expect, but literally it's almost programmed what player can do, even if it looks chaotic.
Oct 8 18:51:08 22m 23s W.A.S.P. - Warrior And Scout Protocol ♥ 1 Solid game, simple at core but with added rich features through upgrades and increasing difficulty, requiring some strategic thinking and agile movement. Appealing retro styled art. The only complain is that shoot and buy buttons could be different so there wont be accidental upgrades.
Oct 8 19:09:56 18m 48s TiNY's GardEEn ♥ 1 Interesting 2.5D game! I didn't noticed how 2 tiny creatures got stolen, so I focused on remained one and clubbed all hunters lurking around. Second action (carry) didn't found much place in my play, may be I should carry them from the start so they sit together. I don't know if food is needed for tiny creatures to survive; If so, there could be many possibilities, like, tree gives limited number of acorns and acorns need to be planted to give new trees. Wish you good luck! scr.png
Oct 8 21:00:42 1h 50m Love and War on Your Face ♥ 2 Very original game, about creatures struggling to live on someone head. Liked orbiting camera. I played and somewhat randomly won 1st time and randomly lost 2nd time. It's not very clear how exactly I start mating. It was feeling like I chase and cannot catch anyone, and even if we're near they ignoring me, then sometimes other colored creature produces larva among those couple of my color. I guess they did all hard work while I just travelled. Wish you good luck.
Oct 8 21:26:32 25m 50s Donut the Hedgehog ♥ 0 Solid game with interesting levels. Lovely hedgehog's head animation and music! I liked concept that being overhelmed slows you down. Altough it's sometimes hard to aim and shake them off. There was difficult parts with blowing stone before powerup running out. Very good job on level variance, that's maze, and chase, and stealth, very well done. Lets all eat sacred donut now.
Oct 8 22:12:25 45m 53s Space Station Pet Rescue Force ♥ 1 Nice puzzle game with cute pixel art. It's interesting that pets has different abilities. May be you could even get away with only 2 keys for controls, since C and V usually mutually exclusive? However that may be not case if you add more items. Wondering what happens with shrunken keycard while pet cannot drop it.
Oct 9 11:28:18 13h 15m Tiny Creature Word ♥ 0 Thanks for this clever game and take on theme! I liked extra words giving you a hint, and chuckled when at some point hint generated other hint. Last level was hard for non-native speaker, on the other hand, with enough dedication it can be bruteforced. sw.png
Oct 9 12:19:09 50m 51s GELATINOUS INVADER SIMULATOR ♥ 3 Nice cute game about GLOBalization with neat pixel graphics and simple one click mechanic leading to strategic depth. At first I had trouble with bombers until I read about right mouse button. Okay, now my guesses. Sent blobs became gray when attacking and then red when they are satiated, then they return collected blood to main blob which lead him to grow. Tanks giving strong threat but also big reward if defeated. So I adjusted tips given above, I send blobs in batches by 2-3, they are drawing fire from tank or large squads, then following blobs begin their massacre. My guess is aim was to get blob above 100 size. At some point I was overrun by tanks but get to regrow from 40 again. glob.png
Oct 9 12:40:43 21m 34s Charge Carriers ♥ 2 Очень веселая игра в духе леммингов. Первые уровни было забавно проходить брутфорсом, несмотря на то, что они старались убежать налево. Думаю что я немного сжульничал, набрав ведерко квантов, а потом подключил параллельно портал - ведь это не постоянный, а только пиковый поток. Немного неудобно было, что нельзя двигать занятый лифт и коробку, приходилось перерисовывать уровень с начала. Игра понравилась, одновременно и легкая и сложная. brak.png quant.png
