| Oct 8 11:19:56 | Invertaburied | ♥ 1 | I get the criticism you have received so far. I feel like I got lucky in that I understood the upgrades and the best strat at the beginning so it didn't feel /too/ slow. I think the slowness is part of it and pastelly color palette and the music really works with that. Edit: I still keep clicking on the upgrades. | |
| Oct 18 18:02:59 | 246h 43m | Those Darn Nanobot AI Will Be The End of Us All | ♥ 0 | Hey, this was a fun entry! Maybe a bit too hectic but at least nobody gets bored :D The music sounded interesting but the sound effects completely drowned it out. Maybe lower the sfx next time, so we can enjoy the music as well. Like people already mentioned many times, the art is cool and I like the hand drawn text. I was thinking of combos as a good way to improve the gameplay but the last commenter already mentioned it. |
| Oct 18 18:20:54 | 17m 55s | NebuLeet Troopers | ♥ 0 | First I have to say that while I really actually like the graphics it took me embarrassingly long to notice that the first level had more mountains than at the top side of the grid... No wonder my men died so fast. This has a lot of everything for a compo game. Pretty amazing. Not really my type of game but I really appreciate it. The first card click I still didn't quite get, was it supposed to be a blind pick or what do Special and Bonus mean? Also one round took 19 phases, it can get a bit boring just waiting two units to kill each other off... But those are minor annoyances. It's a really well made game! |
| Oct 18 18:35:49 | 14m 55s | 🐜 Antwars 🐜 | ♥ 1 | This was a bit confusing. Every time I added ants to gather food and opened my nest none were assigned to the food gathering and I think they all just died? Nice to see a strategy game here. It's not an easy genre to do for sure. The best way to improve for the next jam would be to use mouse controls. Clicking on the nests and moving around the map with a mouse would make this a lot easier to grasp. Also then you could make the nest menu a bit easier to use with +1, +10, +100 buttons etc. I liked the retro graphics and the big ant sprites! Good job |
| Oct 18 18:47:38 | 11m 49s | Anthill Defense | ♥ 1 | Hey, a fellow jammer that made the poor decision to make an RTS! Love it! Game's art makes it really clean and easy to figure out. The controls are also typical RTS controls so it's easy to pick up and play. On the other hand there are 5 different resources which makes prioritising/strategizing some resources over others really tough. Most big RTS games have only a few and they are still really deep games. The sound effects helped a lot to understand what is happening in the game but I still felt like the game lacked feedback. For example a better selection indicator for the selected ants might have made it feel better. I'm going to go give it another go now. Thanks for the game! |
| Oct 18 19:17:44 | 30m 06s | Bermuda | ♥ 1 | It is pretty impressive that you even dared to make a game like this. Graphics are pretty nice and clean. Gameplay is pretty annoying trying to look for all the possible arrows. I think the up and down are also bugging sometimes... It would have been nice if I could use arrow keys and/or wasd to control. Apart from the bugs seems really nicely made. The voice acting sounds good and really helps with the mood! I'm glad I didn't choose a weird monster caregiver as my career. |
| Oct 18 19:38:04 | 20m 20s | W.A.S.P. - Warrior And Scout Protocol | ♥ 1 | Beautiful graphics with rotating pixels hurt my pixel elitist soul. But I won't let it affect my rating, your sprites are really beautiful. Everything worked together pretty well except the blurry grass at the front. While playing I was thinking this is The War of Attrition: The Game but eventually I got to the boss. I would not have made it to the boss without the addicting upgrade loop. I really liked the powerups but gathering XP felt wrong to me. Some other mechanic for the XP orbs would have been better. Maybe make the float at the speed of the enemies. That would for you to move a lot vertically to catch them before they are gone. Then maybe the XP magnet could be less effective and permanent as well. I didn't take much damage until the boss and almost died during it which felt a bit of a jump in difficulty. But I didn't and I finished the game! Well made overall and I had lots of fun. Thanks! |
| Oct 18 19:51:02 | 12m 58s | Tiny Escape | ♥ 1 | Ooh, I love the click when you hover the hexes. There's just something so nice about it. Pretty well made puzzle game. Too bad it ends just when it has taught you all the mechanics. One or two really puzzling levels would have made it perfect. On the other hand I was just about to run out of my folk so even one more level would have probably been a game over. Graphics were so nice too. Making a game with Go and using a live coding platform for music is pretty crazy! Good job! |
| Oct 18 20:24:16 | 33m 14s | Buzzy Hill | ♥ 1 | At first I was like "oh, another weird platformer" but boy do I love throwing those larvae and stuff around! I really like that not only can you throw them but you also don't have to go "place" them after. I won when the timer was 00:00. Not sure if there was a check at the end of the timer if my last ant was just about done. If there was that's genius because the last second ending was really exciting! Too bad you didn't have time for any animations or sounds. The humor was great, art fit well and was cute and the platforming mechanics worked nicely. Good job! |
| Oct 18 20:34:08 | 9m 52s | Stick Racing | ♥ 0 | This is so cool. I'm glad I tried the SUPER ULTRA FAST as well so I'd notice the funny paper crumbling effect for broken car. This must have been so much work and still it's pretty playable. Maybe it's just me but a bit better turning rate would have been nice. The art style kind of makes me emotional and takes me back to when I draw weird games on paper before I even knew how to make them. Love it! |
| Oct 18 20:45:57 | 11m 49s | Dollhouse Blaze | ♥ 0 | Wow, this has a lot going on! All the physics, platforming, grabbing stuff and using them. I really loved throwing the people through windows from the top of the building to their safety. Maybe I should become a firefighter :) This would work as a game with humans and faulty electronics or whatever but you came up with a really nice way to include the theme as well. Only bad things about this game is that the tutorial is a bit confusing because you don't know what the goal is before the fire starts and that the levels are pretty trivial after you come up with this strat: smash your way through to the closest window, defenestrate. Anyway, really well made and enjoyable entry! |
| Oct 20 19:01:58 | 46h 16m | ppl. Converter | ♥ 1 | Mood is on point and I love the music. I wish the excitement came from the gameplay and not from me being unsure if this causes carpal tunnel... |
| Oct 20 19:25:32 | 23m 34s | Tinyzilla | ♥ 1 | Neat game. I think there's a lot of possibility for more depth in this. I liked the controls and how the Tinies moved a lot. I don't know if I should have done more micro attacking the enemies but I feel like there was no way to beat the game. I don't think I did anything wrong... Seeing that others beat the game, I guess that I'm just bad at this :D Anyway, I like the Pikminness of it and see the potential. Nice work! |
| Oct 20 19:31:51 | 6m 19s | Brood Defense | ♥ 1 | I saw a lot of potential here. The graphics are great and the bug variety is nice. But the bugs were big old dummies that crashed into each other and got stuck into nothing and I had to retreat or watch them die... Good stuff anyway, thanks for the game! |
| Oct 20 19:48:24 | 16m 33s | Badabees | ♥ 0 | I used to love Patapon but didn't get very far. Now I remember why... But this is really cool though! Only thing I didn't like is that if I tap one line really fast it's ok but if I try to tap two of them in a quick succession it takes it as one 8 tap song. |
| Oct 20 20:03:34 | 15m 10s | Become A Hundred Thousandaire Or Have Fun Trying | ♥ 1 | I liked how my screen turned brown when after vacuuming hundreds of butterflies and caught them all at once. I wish the upgrades got even more crazy but it was pretty crazy already. Nice job! I like this kind of over the top crazy but wholesome and chill. |
| Oct 20 20:25:23 | 21m 49s | Amoeba With A Shotgun | ♥ 1 | Everything is pretty good art is nice, music is good and gameplay works. Though, it doesn't take too long to get boring. There was one circular wave of big baddies. Maybe more of stuff like that would have helped. I wish there was some other mechanic to spice things up. My wrist hates me for clicking frantically for 5 minutes straight. |
| Oct 20 20:37:19 | 11m 56s | Office Pets! | ♥ 1 | I want office pets and I really need a "cope" button on my work laptop too! Nice and wholesome chill game. Nice experience :) |
| Oct 21 18:58:57 | 22h 21m | Pest Quest | ♥ 1 | I've never heard of Spline.design before, interesting! Music is nice and art is really good. I crushed all the bugs but I think they are coming back when I go to sleep... Maybe this is the start of a new genre: cozy horror. |
| Oct 21 19:16:59 | 18m 02s | Tiny Ecosystem SimulatoR | ♥ 2 | Cool game! I was happy how everything was in balance and alt-tabbed away for a second. Suddenly I have no grass and 50+ bunnies. Managed to claw myself back to a more balanced place though. Music was awesome, art is really good and the game just works flawlessly. At least the Bunny is pretty ugly at times because it's scaled down I think. And maybe there could be some visible end goal so there would be something to aim for. Good job! |
| Oct 21 19:40:26 | 23m 27s | Howard and the Ants | ♥ 1 | Impressive game! The digging and inventory works well, lightning is very moody and physics are pretty good. The vision range, ants teleporting from one tile to the next and lights taking random lenghts of time to turn on added a lot to my frustration though. I'd rather play exciting cave exploration game that's fairly easy. If the lights were instant and a bit brighter I can see myself going through every bit of the map. Not to be too negative it's a really well made entry! |
| Oct 21 19:51:34 | 11m 08s | Far From Fairies | ♥ 1 | Love the mood, graphics and mooving in the game. Winter scene is spot on! The rope throwing felt really hard. I think I got less than half of my ropes to go where I wanted them to. Since the level is based on cubes, maybe you could have given us a mouse cursor and snapped it to a cube with a raycast. I really wanted to look at the source code but I guess jam entries don't have to share it :( Anyway, lovely moody entry, thanks! |
| Oct 21 21:20:53 | 1h 29m | Cicada & Les Grenouilles | ♥ 1 | Nice sprite work! I saw the little thumbnail and had to play your game. It was just as retro as I hoped for. Apart from trying to get up the ladders and walking over them on the top everything worked great. I wish there was a pickup sound effect, it's always so satisfyings. Congrats on finishing a nice and complete game :) |
| Oct 21 21:32:25 | 11m 32s | David vs Goliath: What the government doesn't want you to know | ♥ 1 | It's short, it's simple but it's really nice! Had to go for the speedrun and after billion tries I finally got good enough random seed to get under the current best time. Did you watch the new Penguin show, somehow your way of speaking reminds me of the main character in that show :D davidvsgoliath.PNG |
| Oct 21 21:40:06 | 7m 41s | PogoCombo | ♥ 1 | This game is so polished, it's crazy! It's pretty simple but I think it doesn't need anything else. Perfect arcade game. Such a good mood with music and art. |
| Oct 21 22:01:52 | 21m 46s | Fight of the Forest | ♥ 1 | Nice and cozy tower defense :) It was a bit slow, but better slow than way too fast. It was hard to get any value out of the bees reproducing until the last level and even then the enemies rarely got as far as my flower colonies were. But it was a great idea for a game mechanic! |
| Oct 22 21:24:17 | 23h 22m | Snake Sleuth | ♥ 1 | I was going to shutdown my PC but I noticed the thumbnail of this game and had to try it. Regrettably, I didn't listen to the game because I had a podcast on but I had to beat level 3 after I started. After a while I finally managed and seems like I got the highscore out of this comment section :D I usually think to stay away these kinds of games because I feel like I wouldn't have a fresh enough take. This game is pretty simple but it feels fresh enough. Pretty cool idea for a puzzler. Sometimes trying to make a line doesn't quite work, but the game isn't that hectic that it would matter much. Good job, I had fun! snake_sleuth.PNG |
| Oct 23 21:36:36 | 24h 12m | Tiny Game Hunting Holiday | ♥ 0 | This game makes me feel so stupid but also like I'm learning! I played some matches and didn't do that well. In the last one I got three letters for a city name and I was so sure there isn't one like that. It was the closest capital to mine... Everything is so juicy and smooth in the typical Antti fashion. It's a fun idea and a joy to play! Only criticism I have is that sometimes the UI elements are a bit annoying popping up when I don't want them or text (like city names) are covered up by other things. |
