| Oct 8 18:16:04 | Orchid | ♥ 0 | Very original game! 👏🏻 But also quite confusing at first, because it's such a new mechanic. Some more visual clues about what the goal is and why the attempt failed would be nice, for example by highlighting the symbol of the hour glass, the goal or piece count in red or shaking it. At first I thought the tiny creatures would also attack the white edge even if it wasn't growing, so I was frantically moving the white edge around to avoid them, until I found at that this was not the case. 😅 I had to get used to the gameplay, but the it really grew on me, and I enjoyed finding the space between the creatures to grow. I liked the shapes I was making. I would of course try to wait till the very last moment to stop growing a piece, but often I continued a little bit too long 😉 I found the sun! ☀️ | |
| Oct 9 19:11:28 | 24h 55m | Bug Squad | ♥ 2 | Sooo cute! Both the in-game art as well as the cover art are lovely 😍 Epic music choice as well! Very nice that you provided an in-game tutorial, a help button and a menu! 👍 Somehow I was confused where to find the HP of my characters for the first levels. I am still a bit confused as how to know how far my creatures (or those of the other team) could reach with their attacks or which 'skill' could summon more creatures. 🤔 I managed to finish the game! 😄 🐭 🌰 Well done, great job again! |
| Oct 9 19:21:27 | 9m 59s | Shrimptopia | ♥ 1 | Cute! I like the graphics. As @coderaurus said, I think you should opt-out for the audio category, although you it chose well and it adds to the mood 😄 |
| Oct 9 19:48:55 | 27m 28s | DWARFS | ♥ 1 | I was also a bit scared by all the texts in the screenshots, but the gameplay was not that hard. I found the mini-game quite boring quite soon though. I reached the end of the first planet. I really like the graphics/effects! LD56_DWARFS.png |
| Oct 14 20:14:10 | 120h 25m | Tinybuns | ♥ 0 | Cute! Enjoyed playing it, and got to 146 on my second run. It started off a little bit too simple, but when the salamander got close it got much harder suddenly. 😉 Good job! |
| Oct 14 21:17:20 | 1h 03m | Moon Picnic | ♥ 2 | I love the choice of music, that really kept me going! I got to level 5 before I gave up. I would have liked to be able to select the different buttons with the number keys. Well done! 😄 |
| Oct 17 21:13:50 | 71h 56m | BeeGone | ♥ 3 | I like the idea and how it looks! I didn't like the controls, but I am also not used to playing 3D games. My mouse was blocked by the edge of the screen, so I couldn't turn far enough to comfortably navigate. I like the graphics, the sun is really beautiful. I enjoyed singing/bzzing songs to make the bee fly. Together with my boyfriend we finally managed to find the flowers and the end of the game. |
| Oct 17 21:42:35 | 28m 45s | Pied Piper's Payback | ♥ 3 | Very original game! I enjoyed playing it, and played a few times. I wish I could skip the cut scenes from the second time onwards though. Nice graphics, and the controls are smooth. When I could selected the difficulty, I kind of expected the music to change accordingly. 😉 The music was nice, but could use some more flute! I liked how there were more and more squeeky sounds as I gathered more rats behind me. I like how there are musical notes surrounding the player. Well done! 😄 🎵 |
| Oct 18 09:12:33 | 11h 29m | Autumn Picnic | ♥ 0 | So cute! I love the soft 3D graphics and pastel colors, as if everything was made from fondant/candy. I loved it when it was happily shaking its tail after completing a level. Very nice how the color of the caterpillar changes depending on what it ate. There was a moment where the hood of a mushroom was still floating in the air because I already ate the base, but I somehow managed to eat in the end. Very well done! |
| Oct 18 09:29:12 | 16m 39s | Fry Quest | ♥ 3 | Haha, how the 'pleeeeeaaaaassssse' was moving. Cute game, with cute graphics. Maybe a little bit too much text, but I enjoyed playing it. Impressive that you made multiple mini games! Nice music and song! I was wondering if you made all the sound effects yourselves as well? Well done! |
| Oct 18 15:52:34 | 6h 23m | The Wriggling Path | ♥ 1 | Very original game! The music is cool and all the tiny creatures creating the levels are nice. I like that there are many small levels with checkpoints. You made a lot of content! I got stuck quite a few times, because I didn't know what my options were. The controls/jumping could be improved a little bit. Often the interactions with the surroundings felt somewhat unpredictable, like the creature that should make you jump. Sometimes I got stuck to it, and sometimes not. And also the part where I had to jump from fly to fly felt too random. Overall, well done! 👏 |
| Oct 18 16:20:47 | 28m 13s | Cute Animal Jigsaw-like Puzzle | ♥ 2 | Cute! Would be fun to be able to make a platformer game in which you can rotate pieces of the level like thi,s before or while you are playing a level. 🤔 😄 |
| Oct 25 23:22:04 | 175h 01m | Tinysaurs | ♥ 1 | Very original! The game looks nice, I like the little sandy winds rolling over the floor. The music is great and the colors are pleasing. I missed some more gameplay/goal and the digging could use some particles. I haven't figured out how the dinosaurs would help digging. Cool 3D models of the dinosaurs! |
| Oct 25 23:47:57 | 25m 53s | Mutation Machinations | ♥ 0 | Nice game! I was a little bit confused at the start, but I managed to figure it out and finished the game. The second time I played it, it was already much easier to understand and win. There was one hover over explanation, and I think it would have been nice to have some more of them, as well as even more graphical clues which cards are playable/selectable. Funny names of cards and nice graphics. Well done! |
| Oct 25 23:53:24 | 5m 27s | Mobile Group [Ballbam]: Together We're Strong | ♥ 1 | Fun and original game! I really like the concept of combining the ammo, the health and the player character in one. I enjoyed playing, although I wasn't sure what counted as a combo. I found the birds really annoying haha! Well done! ld56_ballban.png |
| Oct 26 00:26:47 | 33m 23s | Immune Defense | ♥ 1 | Cute defense game! I was quite bad at it at first, but slowly got better and better. Quite addictive, got to wave 10! I like the cute art. I would have liked if the energy blobs were easier to see (often they would fall behind some character) and easier to click (they are quite small!) Sometimes an enery orb would land outside the playing area, and was even harder to click. Maybe just moving your mouse nearby could be anough to collect the orbs? Big fan of mr. T, very useful. Great job! Edit: also played the Post-Compo version and got to Wave 22! Here's a screenshot just before the end... Schermafbeelding 2024-10-26 025229.png |
