Oct 8 12:56:36 Dice Killer ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/AS4g3D13BEk Really cool concept for a tower defense style game! Like @ruruie i felt a bit of lag with the dice and some delay on attacks so I missed a few targets, but otherwise it was really fun and intuitive. But why did the single target crosshair turn brown instead of blue like the rest? That was hard to see sometimes. I think the real-time aspect made it a bit too difficult and could possibly be interesting with a turn-based aspect like Curse of the Necrodancer or something, where each time you attack it causes the enemy to take their actions (moving down), so there's a bit more predictability and strategy. When I had some bad luck with 1's 2's and 3's it was difficult to clear the wave and it was a bit too fast for me to look ahead at my next dice and think of the optimal attack strategy. Overall cool idea, love the pixel art!
Oct 8 13:08:35 11m 59s Plush Party - Funland Arcade ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/1qK4Oq3DkXE Really nice environment and interesting perspective to explore! The lack of music made it feel a bit empty but the design was so vibrant and interesting. Loved all the little details! The mouse sensitivity was a bit high, even when i turned my mouse DPI all the way down as low as it goes, so it was a little tricky to control. I liked how each character had a unique ability too! I also loved each character's animations :) nice work
Oct 8 13:45:16 36m 41s ANTventure Time ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/GxFklKIzyGA (Sorry i recorded without my cursor most of the time, oops!) Aww man.. I am so easily hooked by incremental games... or should i say incremANTal? SUPER WELL DONE clicker game. 30 min flew by so fast! Love the music and pixel art, and really well balanced and fun theme. I really wish there was a win condition though! A few notes from my playthrough: The skills in the upgrade tree that cost 2 or 3 need an indicator, I was confused for a while why I couldn't click them. When you're not in full screen, the UI gets a little bit squished and overlapping. Overall, really fun :) Great job Screenshot_49.png
Oct 8 13:59:47 14m 31s Bunny’s Dusty Odyssey ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/fJoq5l9QKgE Super interesting aesthetic! Love the color scheme and designs. Feels very.. "digital glitch dimension" though as opposed to being inside a vacuum like the story suggests, so I didn't really feel connected with the story. But I liked the concept! I basically hold down shift the entire time and there's not much reason to walk instead of run, so that would be better just toggled permanently by default. Level 3 music got SUPER LOUD and gave me a reason to end my play session. Had fun for the first few levels tho :) Nice work
Oct 8 14:04:44 4m 57s Leapo Froggo ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/KyScUf-Fp-Y Wooo 24th place! (for now) Fun short simple minigame :) Love the funny face he makes when he jumps.
Oct 8 15:27:57 1h 23m Chimeracle Maker! ♥ 3 https://youtu.be/Z4qsvBT8R2c Love the art and design of the creatures! The music was excellent too. I liked how the music got more and more intense as you progressed. Everything felt really nicely polished. The game loop itself felt a bit simple at times. I found myself focusing more on the selection part menu, racing against time instead of getting to appreciate the charming and funny characters. There's a unique appeal in creating your own little chimera, but the gameplay of matching the CPU's design and then quickly discarding it to progress kind of took away from that 'design-a-monster' charm. It might be worth exploring ways to let players enjoy their creations a bit more before moving on. Really nice game overall tho!
Oct 8 15:58:53 30m 56s Human Heist ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/ryF31fW5tXw Really nice game concept with lighthearted cute characters. I love the level designs! Very well thought out and interesting use of the switching mechanic! I like the details like how the cat will sleep when you're switched to the dog. Gameplay was responsive and felt good, although the gravity felt a little bit odd but I still felt really in control with the platforming. I love the 8bit sound effects, but maybe just a tad bit loud / too crunchy at times. Overall, really solid platformer game that had me engaged the whole way through. The well-crafted levels really stood out to me as the star of the show! Great work! Screenshot_50.png
Oct 8 16:08:21 9m 28s Clumpnuggets ♥ 0 Clumpnuggets!! Funny title, fun little game. I definitely agree about having mouse visible. Alternatively, if the mouse dragging simply rotated you left or right it wouldn't be necessary to show it. But since you move towards where it's actually pointing, that becomes an issue.
Oct 8 17:50:14 1h 41m Tiny Game Hunting Holiday ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/vMj1XwPVuB8 Really nicely made UI and the character's bouncy animations are super fun!! My lack of geography knowledge definitely was the hardest part of this game. Wish the map was labeled or at least had more lines between countries to help me get my bearings better! Felt confusing when I'd land in "Unknown lands" and not have a way to reveal what country I was in or where the borders were.
Oct 8 19:33:23 1h 43m You Can Save The Rat ♥ 5 https://youtu.be/6T3sz4CKst0 The game is very sweet, cozy, and relaxing UNTIL THE VICIOUS DEATH SCREENS which were a very high contrast to the mood of the rest of the game. But I really liked the art style!! Writing was well done and interesting. The ending death scenes definite hit the emotional note, since the writing with Tiny is so wholesome and heartfelt. If the cat simply scares him back into his hole and a soft reset rather than a death restart... i think the ending would have been even more impactful from a writing standpoint, since the player wouldn't be prepared for it or have any expectation of it coming. It kind of pales in comparison to the gruesome death we've already been exposed to.
Oct 8 19:38:09 4m 46s Domohavoc ♥ 1 Character is really funny! Quite funny being able to grab such huge objects. Music loop way too short but i guess that's why Domovoy is "sooooo annoying"? Sounds are extremely loud and hurt my ears. Gravity is a bit too low and hard to see platforms underneath when you're in the air. Pixel art was well done!
Oct 8 23:04:54 3h 26m Remy The Roach ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/gZ_JhsSgYM0 Perfect little Warioware minigame :) Really fun! Loved the sound effects and art!
Oct 8 23:11:23 6m 29s Dusty Desk ♥ 3 Really cute designs and super nice art style throughout the whole game and UI!
Oct 8 23:20:53 9m 30s Gweeble Garden ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/NRmCDkVV_-w Interesting concept! I didn't really know what I was doing but the sound effects were funny :)
Oct 8 23:33:49 12m 56s Towerfall ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/-xLn70cPqaI Really cool concept and fun game that had me hooked all the way through! The core mechanic has a lot of depth in its simplicity, gave me Downwell vibes but with a new spin on it. The levels were really well designed over all, but a few of the levels I felt like I had to break the game a little bit to complete. I wasn't sure about the intended solution so just had to spam wall jumping a little bit to get past the crumbling blocks. There was a little bit of stuttering in the movement here and there that made it a little tricky too, but overall felt good to play. Great job i enjoyed it a lot! :) Also love the music!!
Oct 8 23:43:12 9m 23s Alice's Tiny Adventure ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/a9wCwvhq3HE Lovely flute tunes :) I really liked the pixel art design of the cheshire cat!
Oct 9 00:00:10 16m 58s Nectarmancer ♥ 4 https://youtu.be/DEY32W-FYMQ BEEE BOIIIIDS!!! I'm a big fan of anything boid-related, so this concept was right up my alley. Really well done and fun to control! Not sure what killed me exactly but I had a fun time :)
Oct 9 13:21:43 13h 21m Monster Strike ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/7VqRiHXeqkM Very cool proof of concent! I like the idea of mixing deckbuilding with controlling your units too. I really liked the monster's pixel art design!
Oct 9 13:52:09 30m 26s Ogron Gramsay's Culinary Journey ♥ 3 https://youtu.be/0U6ffsgDjIY Fantastic game!! :) I was really hooked by it. Really great recipe for a fun game loop!! Love all the environmental animations and details. So much charm! Only thing I'd suggest is a tracker for the 5000 gold objective. I didn't realize it was cumulative, and thought I had to forego upgrades for a while to stockpile 5000 so I could win. I would have bought a few more upgrades while I was farming! Had a great time playing. You also made the length of the game perfect, around 10-15 minutes to beat. Great work!
Oct 9 15:26:38 1h 34m Royal Critter Tossing ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/LXUN4QtIlg0 The boosting mechanic is really interesting and made for a fun deckbuilding gameloop. Very challenging at first till I started to see the way the boosts work. I like the theme and character designs. Well done! Fun game
Oct 9 17:54:39 2h 28m Tiny Survival Tactics(Puzzle) ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/UNIxtmIPW04 Nice puzzle game! The clicking to exit felt inconsistent and I had to click a whole lot to get it to trigger sometimes so I think that could be easier. Overall was very tricky and fun!
Oct 9 18:05:14 10m 35s Three Tiny Toblins ♥ 1 https://youtu.be/uD1fy2fXIPo Love the characters! I like how each had a unique voice along with gameplay power. It was a cool start of the game but I got stuck really early on! I tried resetting and the same thing happened again so I'm just not sure how to get past the first checkpoint. I enjoyed what I played though :) nice work
Oct 9 18:19:28 14m 14s Leafling builders ♥ 4 https://youtu.be/Er-9kcNDvRw Lovely game perfect for this time of year. Love all the characters and dialogue that makes a super cozy game! I enjoyed the game loop but it did start to feel a little repetitive without much obstacles or challenges, just more branches doing the same task. But it was really well done! Love the physics of the branches and all the little pixel art animals. I really like the Leaflings and their little acorn hats. Well done!
Oct 9 19:42:48 1h 23m Head'quarters ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/GF7l_Xez9tM incredible work!! Everything is so polished and cohesive. The art and sound design is really inspiring. I wasn't very good at the actual game loop but I appreciated the creativity! I would love to explore this world using this style of point & click gameplay to be more of a slow-paced thinky puzzle, or lemmings kind of game rather than fast reaction times and high score though
Oct 9 20:25:49 43m 01s Pom Planet ♥ 5 https://youtu.be/3aNWSU6bI4Q I really enjoyed this game! The real-time aspect of the puzzles once the enemies were introduced made it a really unique puzzle game that was not only challenging to solve, but then required careful execution and timing. The mechanics have a few flaws that let you cheese the game a little bit on occasion, but most of the time I felt like I was solving the puzzle as intended. Like others have said, a pause button would have been nice at times, but I can also see the impact it would have on the synchronization so maybe that wouldn't work in this game. In any case, many of the little creatures were given as sacrifice to learn the flow of each level first before I made a move. Great pacing and level design. Love the art, really liked how the sounds had reverb and made you feel like you're inside the cave. Only complaint was the 'breaking glass' sound that starts around level 16 was kind of loud. Excellent game that had me engaged the whole way through!
Oct 9 20:41:48 15m 59s Carbs vs Protein: A Scrote Jenkins Story ♥ 2 https://youtu.be/MypohIdPL1c masterpiece
