| Oct 7 23:11:34 | First summer - a bee story | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I really like the ambiance, and its a pretty original game concept! Although I manage to get myself locked by taking all upgrades but the astrology center and administrative center, I couldn't find any new hive to get upgrades from, or i didn't have a big enough inventory to get them! Otherwise awesome job! | |
| Oct 9 20:35:47 | 45h 24m | Wish Town | ♥ 4 | Nice game! Interesting ambiance and nailed the aesthetic! I think the camera controls felt a bit stiff sometimes, but otherwise very nice! |
| Oct 9 20:49:36 | 13m 49s | Nibblers | ♥ 1 | Interesting! I really like the concept and I'd like to see this idea expanded! Though i also had at one point the glitch where the fleas suddenly started shaking and then exploded and froze the game.. 😅 |
| Oct 9 20:58:38 | 9m 02s | Critter Crawler | ♥ 1 | I like the "reverse tower defense" idea! I think there's good potential in this game, and a little more polish would greatly improve it! |
| Oct 9 21:58:24 | 59m 46s | Wispering Woods | ♥ 6 | Awesome! It was sometimes a bit hard to navigate and to know where i could and couldn't go, but still pretty straightforward and well crafted level design to guide the player! well done! |
| Oct 9 22:09:14 | 10m 50s | Who's Behind the Fix? | ♥ 3 | Nice game! I'd love to see it a bit improved! Maybe having a timer to add pressure, and instead of just fixing three each one fixed would add a bit to a progress bar, and killing enemies adds a bit too! This way it becomes a race against time and you have to chose between fighting and fixing as well! Good job! |
| Oct 9 22:26:22 | 17m 08s | Tiny Dirty Tricks | ♥ 4 | Interesting ambiance! I think the controls could use a reworking, maybe a quicker transition between the two screens, and only confirm a cauldron once the mouse button is released? This way it can be a little more fast paced, and It becomes easier to try things and understand the game! |
| Oct 9 22:34:13 | 7m 51s | One day | ♥ 1 | I like the focus on storytelling ! Feels a little confusing, and I'd have loved to be able to use WASD as well to move, but still lots of efforts visible, well done! |
| Oct 9 22:43:32 | 9m 19s | Datiny Five Hundredths | ♥ 1 | Cool game! Looks really well and the three-sprite turning works amazingly well with the way the controls work! I'm not sure if there was any way to actually finish a race or not, but the base game is awesome and definitely deserves to get upgraded later! |
| Oct 9 22:53:55 | 10m 23s | Frogotten Focus | ♥ 3 | Nice job on your first ! Starting with a compo is ambitious, and its a nice result! Here are the little issues i felt in the fixed build : - Sometimes i received damage without knowing why - Having Q and E as shooting button makes it hard to move at the same time, maybe using the mouse buttons could make it more comfortable? - Only being able to shoot from the sides makes it difficult to deal with some situations, though it could also be intentional to add challenge! Overall a nice piece! Keep it up and I'd say definitely keep working on this one! |
| Oct 9 23:02:29 | 8m 34s | TheCoon | ♥ 2 | Simple, but functional! Having food spawning far can really mess up your run though! I think there could be a few minor additions to make this more enjoyable |
| Oct 9 23:14:29 | 12m 00s | Sea Beckons | ♥ 1 | What's there is already a nice proof of concept! Had some performance issues on my side, and I'd say definitely add a control scheme in the description so people can better test what you've uploaded! Keep it up! |
| Oct 9 23:49:39 | 35m 10s | Wild Ketch | ♥ 2 | Loved it! I think this is an amazing base to build and improve into a bigger game! Would love to see more upgrades, maybe something to auto-sell, or to make the hook useful again after a while? Great job! |
| Oct 10 10:23:14 | 10h 33m | Defend Squeeb | ♥ 0 | Pretty fun! I think the explosion is pretty over-powered compared to the other attacks, but still super fun! |
| Oct 10 10:53:46 | 30m 32s | Deadly Trails | ♥ 2 | Nice work! Hard to master, and impressive mechanics! |
| Oct 10 11:02:32 | 8m 46s | Ratrace | ♥ 1 | Nice game! I'd have liked it to be a bit brighter to better see what was happening, but otherwise once i got my bearing it was very fun! |
| Oct 10 11:16:25 | 13m 53s | Critter Wrangler | ♥ 1 | Nice entry! I think as others have said billboarding the decors would help, and maybe also a mouse sensitivity option? Also the lack of end screen made me a bit confused at the end once i found them all. Otherwise, I really like the idea of a sort of hide and seek game! well done! |
| Oct 10 11:28:51 | 12m 26s | Tiny Rampage | ♥ 3 | Confusing at first, and hard to control, but lots of fun still! I feel like the music was a bit too loud at times, and once you're on a building you're pretty much invulnerable, but otherwise its still a ton of fun! |
| Oct 10 20:31:23 | 9h 02m | Whisker Warrior | ♥ 1 | Impressive! Once I understood there was a shield, it became suddenly much more manageable! Didn't manage to make it past the second wave of spiders though... I think there was a slight issue on character animation too? The mouse kept flickering between its idle animation and walking while I was moving. Jumping, attacking and shielding animations worked fine though. Great work! |
| Oct 10 21:19:52 | 48m 29s | Pom Planet | ♥ 3 | Stellar job! The puzzle designs are great and with original mechanics, visuals are cute, go well with the sounds and vibe, overall awesome! |
| Oct 10 21:34:53 | 15m 01s | Child Of Entropy (accidental second upload) | ♥ 2 | Its an amazing idea to use the Game of Life as a mechanic in this game! Very hard to master though, and I'd have liked a bit more explanation somewhere, and clearer use of UI! Maybe being able to click on the blueprint icon to use it instead of "next blueprint" and "previous blueprint"? Anyways, its super hard but super fun! i really didn't expect anything like this, well done! |
| Oct 10 21:46:03 | 11m 10s | Last Lump Of Coal | ♥ 1 | It's clear that the game was planned to have more to offer! Right now its pretty confusing and seems random, its unclear when to bring back the workers or why they die, but still I can see some nice potential in there, I hope you'll update it after the jam! |
| Oct 10 21:48:56 | 2m 53s | walking pet | ♥ 1 | Very cute artstyle! A simple short game, but very enjoyable! |
| Oct 10 22:00:16 | 11m 20s | Clumpnuggets | ♥ 0 | I think a way to shake off the lumps would really help! Right now if you get surrounded you just have to wait and die, maybe something to get rid of a few once in a while so there's a way to fight back? |
| Oct 10 22:27:33 | 27m 17s | Don't feed the frog | ♥ 1 | Nice job! Maybe there could be a way to cross over to the other tree to catch flies from another angle, with a malus if you get hit while crossing? Otherwise I'd say this is a pretty nicely rounded little game! Well done! |
| Oct 10 22:43:18 | 15m 45s | Squirrel Family | ♥ 1 | Well done! That darn owl is really persistent, sometimes it feels a bit too unforgiving! Also the random generation is a nice touch, but sometimes it makes it pretty much impossible to bring the snake to the rock in time.. Nice job nonetheless! |
| Oct 10 22:59:02 | 15m 44s | Spider-Meow | ♥ 1 | Very cool! I feel like the swinging was a little quirky at times, and I got stuck at the same level as the other comments with screenshots. Otherwise the visuals are super cute and the level designs are pretty interesting, so well done! |
| Oct 10 23:13:05 | 14m 03s | In the end there will be the Number | ♥ 1 | Very creative mechanics! The lose condition isn't fully clear, and the theme connection a bit far, otherwise its a super fun game to play around with! Once my tower began falling I started spamming to add a few more to the count, so maybe a cooldown might help prevent that 😅 |
| Oct 10 23:21:50 | 8m 45s | Bunny Wrangler | ♥ 2 | A nice well made game! Love the implementation of the shape recognition, a very smart way to simplify the problem! Well done! |
| Oct 10 23:28:15 | 6m 25s | Fleabags | ♥ 1 | Its nice! I was very much unsure at first if i had any control over anything, but still it was entertaining so well done! |
| Oct 10 23:40:24 | 12m 09s | Bugicide | ♥ 2 | A cool sandbox type game! I'd love to see it a bit more polished and with more options! |
| Oct 10 23:48:31 | 8m 07s | Zombies Ate My Fruits | ♥ 1 | Nice work! Feels a little unforgiving at first, but in a nicely challenging way I'd say, well done! |
| Oct 10 23:53:34 | 5m 03s | HungryBob | ♥ 1 | Simple but works well! Would love to see an increase in difficulty, or a way to win maybe? Something so that it doesn't get too repetitive |
| Oct 11 11:30:48 | 11h 37m | Betty's Tiny Adventure | ♥ 3 | Very nice little slime rancher game! Its well made and fun to play! That said, there are a few minor things I've noticed : - The slime damage feels very low, it took a while before i even noticed it - I couldn't take slimes out of the pen, so there was no way of harvesting red crystals once I had filled it - It's not always clear what the purchased upgrades do, or what the level ups mean - I'd have loved a "run" option to go a bit faster sometimes On the other side : - The game looks lovely! - There are very little to no bugs or mechanics that feel odd, which is pretty rare in game jams - I'd love to see this in an updated upgraded post-jam version! This is a great base for a game to build on! |
| Oct 14 23:35:04 | 84h 04m | kill the cockroaches | ♥ 0 | Game doesn't run sadly, I think part of the game is either missing or you attached the wrong file.. |
| Oct 14 23:41:48 | 6m 44s | Terrarium | ♥ 1 | Nice little game! I think the ant colony buttons were a bit finicky to use, and I'm not sure if there was a way to get more ants or something like that, but still a nice demo! |
| Oct 15 00:01:00 | 19m 12s | Kat Kicker | ♥ 3 | Fun game! I think it wasn't always clear how things were supposed to be interacted with, or if there was like an optimal way to shoot for points, or what counted towards the actual score, but still a lot of fun a very nice humor! I'd love to see this game upgraded post-jam into something with more interactions! |
| Oct 15 16:17:41 | 16h 16m | Hamster Adventures | ♥ 0 | Nice creation! I think there are a couple little issues, but its still a very nice game! The things i've noticed : - the game closes after a while on its own, not sure if there is a timer that isnt shown - enemies can't get damaged - the berries seem to flip to face you for some reason, maybe its intentional - there is no score shown - decors can hide a lot, so it's unclear if berries are hidden behind or not Apart from these little minor details, great job! I think this is an awesome base to keep building on after the jam is over! |
| Oct 15 20:32:11 | 4h 14m | No more tiny | ♥ 1 | a bit unclear at first, and hard to tell what counted as a win or not, but otherwise a fun idea, and nicely executed, well done! |
| Oct 15 20:36:22 | 4m 11s | Tinny Terror Escape Run | ♥ 1 | Nice little quick platformer game! Reminds me of those old flash games i used to play. The strange window size makes it a bit awkward, but its still a nice base for a platformer to expand on, keep it up! |
| Oct 15 21:11:38 | 35m 16s | Planktos | ♥ 0 | I think a file is broken, because it needed to be renamed for the game to work for me. Otherwise, the game is pretty chill and relaxing, but its pretty unclear where to go, or how to play while in the game.. Still, I managed to find my way to the end but I had to wander around a little bit. Still, well done! |
| Oct 21 09:17:14 | 132h 05m | Tiny Creatures Master | ♥ 0 | Nice concept! I think the different bugs being used differently is a neat idea! Although the combination of mouse pointing and keyboard click felt a little off to me, since I wasn't sure at first how to interact and didn't know how to pick up bugs! Also the number of bugs collected in the inventory doesn't reset when restarting the level, but that doesn't affect the gameplay. Good job! |
| Oct 25 09:34:50 | 96h 17m | Creature Rehabilitation Lab | ♥ 2 | I really like the concept! Feels a little odd to bait them, with some seemingly ignoring your food in favor of another randomly, and I'm not fully sure what the matching criteria are, but still a great idea and a cool take of the theme, well done!! |
