| Oct 8 19:03:55 | Mystic Mites | ♥ 3 | Love the quirkiness and visuals (cursor/hand art in particular). Getting what the game wants me to do on my own was also pretty fun! My only issue was that colors of mite spawners, request/deliver lamps and target portal all seemed a little bit inconsistent - same color value in all those places looks different I think? But not sure. Otherwise, being a mite wizard sure sounds tempting ❤️ mites.png | |
| Oct 9 12:10:35 | 17h 06m | Unlucky fried chicken | ♥ 2 | Hey there fellow flinglike game 😄 I appreciate the overhead icons to remind you of needs that need to be fulfilled, although the imminent death makes it somewhat difficult to focus on other tasks sometimes. Maybe if there was less consequence for not meeting them, like a hen falling asleep for a while or not being fed enough to lay eggs? I dunno. Otherwise it's a consistent system of flinging things into things, and pretty funny too, trying to get your chickens out of the way of incoming cars. Congrats on your entry! |
| Oct 9 13:05:00 | 54m 25s | Nostalgia Castle | ♥ 3 | Got it rather quickly and enjoyed it! The UI could use some visual polish obviously (especially tooltips - transparent background sometimes overlapped with units on the level, making things hard to read), but the elements themselves were laid out quite sensibly - and over time everything was clear to me. I had fun making the decisions about unit placement. Good job! |
| Oct 9 13:37:18 | 32m 18s | Flea Circus | ♥ 3 | Awesome idea and execution - everything fits together very well! Really the only complaint I have is the S key for a spin/flip - I couldn't get used to it (I'd probably prefer it to happen on pressing jump mid-air). But other than that it's very polished and feels complete, congrats! |
| Oct 10 19:42:45 | 30h 05m | Fry Quest | ♥ 3 | It's pretty, has funny dialogue and I *think* the story is cute although we didn't learn if it hurts to get eaten in the end. Seeing Fry make it was inspirational. If he could do it then maybe there's a chance for us all... |
| Oct 10 20:53:45 | 1h 11m | Animal Golfing | ♥ 2 | A bit rough around the edges in terms of controls (especially camera controls) but I got HOOKED either way. Really enjoyed the worlds and trying to find the best route through them. The artstyle and color palette are lovely too. Boing. 1.png Kinda want to do a golf game now, damn it. |
| Oct 10 21:41:55 | 48m 10s | Fear of the Ungnome | ♥ 2 | This is extremely impressive. I finished it like 5 times noticing something new every time and getting stuck on some other thing again. The fact that the solutions change every time makes it so much more replayable. The art and overall vibe are spot on. The only nitpick I have is that the movement controller could feel a tiny bit better, it seems a bit rigid - but that's really not what the game is about so whatever. Anyway, that's all 5s from me. gn.png |
| Oct 10 22:41:46 | 59m 51s | Kumamushi no Samurai | ♥ 2 | The background and characters are fun. Combat needs work. Wouldn't need to be that complicated even. Maybe if attacking also dashed the character forward, so that you'd have to weigh that against obstacles or near enemies. |
| Oct 11 18:48:48 | 20h 07m | Quantum Swarm | ♥ 1 | That's a stylish and clever game. I particularly liked the pheromone mechanics and how they can be used to coordinate groups of bots. An expanded version would need some improvements in terms of "board editor", so that you could move terminals or whole sections of the board without redoing it. But for a jam game that's not an issue imo. |
