Oct 8 22:43:26		Antibody	♥ 4	Really cool idea! I liked the idea of using other "tiny creatures" (literal cells that are bigger than you, another smol cell) to attack others. Wave feature makes it manageable and I liked the risk and reward of shooting the wrong thing leads to a cycle so that you can't really effectively spam it. It was pretty good, I felt like it got a bit overwhelming with creatures at some point and I didn't have more eaters to fight off the other guys. A tutorial or some intro could've been nice. Other than that, very nice!
Oct 8 22:57:26	14m 00s	Stacoon	♥ 4	Congratulations on your first game! Love the basic idea you got going, the puzzles and progression was done well. Some tips: - Pixel art should be cohesive! Pay attention to resolution sizes and the size of pixel art, differences in size can look a little jarring. Your racoon designs are super cute and the little launch animation was pretty funny, but it being different pixel size than the background and other objects are a little off. - Limit yourselves! You have a lot of little mechanics that was not necessary. I loved the repeat use of the pipes, underground, and launch. I thought the moving platform bridge might've been a bit much. Other than that, nice game!
Oct 8 22:58:57	1m 31s	Stolen Colors	♥ 2	The web link on both ld page and itch page seem broken?
Oct 8 23:15:41	16m 44s	PEPE's wall of pride	♥ 2	Funny idea, and the controls were interesting to make it that you had to do a rocket ship. Unfortunately I have to say that in aggregate, it ended up not being that fun for me. The voice acting made it funny and felt like it could've been more fun, but the resolution size made it very difficult for me to see the screen, then the graphics made it hard for me to tell how fast I was moving and going. The good thing is that the the mini map and goal indicators was a great and necessary touch. I applaud you for that!
Oct 8 23:37:58	22m 17s	You Can Save The Rat	♥ 5	What a funny game! Loved the sudden change of mood with the death scenes. Loved the little sounds and the small story done here. Definitely did not expect a couple of these things. Couple of aha moments were really good. Overall a great game!
Oct 9 01:34:04	1h 56m	Tiny Colony	♥ 2	This was a phenomenal submission! The audio was honestly the bow that wrapped the gift. This was a well designed game, the levels and the mechanics and the funny twist at the end where turns out I could've destroyed the bases to consider it colonized. The only thing was the small glitches with the slingshots and I'm not entirely sure what the purposes of the objects were, seems like planned content. Either way, this was a strong submissions. (P.S. definitely had a lot of use out of your game juice videos).
Oct 9 01:45:18	11m 14s	Tiny Rexes: Professional Dinosorting	♥ 2	This was a GREAT submission. Was excited to play it before since I've seen your stuff on the game endeavor discord, and you definitely did not dissapoint. A unique and innovative game that really hit me hard with an "AHA" moment once I was making an orange dino follow my yellow circle, finding out the key of the mechanic and where the challenge lies. The polish was great, the loop is good and the progression works well. I loved the small QoL improvements like the speed up and pause to make replays easier to go through. Amazing entry, feels like a winner honestly!
Oct 9 01:52:59	7m 41s	Cheeese Watch	♥ 1	What a lovely game! Gave me an aha moment once I figured out that I flick mice onto other things like the lil porcupine. Simple to understand, but so satisfying to try with all the combos and the score and everything, such a charming game that I have nearly no criticism for. Just promote your game more so people can play this great lil game!
Oct 9 02:00:16	7m 17s	Drinlan Madness	♥ 1	This was a fun beat-em-up! I enjoyed the variety of moves and the interesting theme of being able to only kill with the color you have. It did feel pretty punishing to fight all of them with the same moveset, but you massively made up for it with the checkpoint against the boss, and it was impressive you had a boss! Pretty well done!
Oct 9 02:17:26	17m 10s	The Witch's Offspring	♥ 1	Very touching little story. Wish there was move, was invested. If you enjoy doing sketches and art, I highly recommend leaning into your strength and making the whole thing a 2d raster art game rather than just pixel art. Otherwise, congrats on your second solo jam!
Oct 9 02:25:56	8m 30s	Gettin' Squirrely!	♥ 1	So the climbing mechanic is pretty great, that's definitely a feat to do. But unfortunately it was hard to read the text which spent time, and then handling it to grab nuts from the trees was a bit difficult. I wish the hitboxes for the nuts were bigger and there was more contrast to see the nuts better. I love the idea but the execution needs a bit of work and polish for sure. Polish is so important!
Oct 9 02:45:34	19m 38s	Tara	♥ 2	Extremely cute game, I loved the idea of kicking to stun, level design was brilliant, I've seen games like this before but never with this degree of design. Amazing and reminds me of 4 swords. Great job!!
Oct 9 03:02:35	17m 01s	Fallen Angel: A Larry Chin Mystery	♥ 3	Interesting story! I did get stuck though. No idea how to proceed after collecting the brace and can of sardines and stuff. It's not the clearest how to navigate around. Appears pretty ambitious for a jam!
Oct 9 03:08:11	5m 36s	I'm Next!	♥ 0	Fun little game. Liked the little voices. Neat idea to have different powers for different characters. Neat puzzles and was left kinda wanting more haha. Would definitely add more polish, polish is so important! Game juice and squish and stretch goes a long way!
Oct 9 03:17:59	9m 48s	Turtle Shepard	♥ 1	Very interesting take! I think it's cute that the birds were by your kids. Got very sad when I first stepped on a small turtle.
Oct 9 03:48:32	30m 33s	Another Day	♥ 1	Very cute and charming game. I love the little pixel art characters and seeing what everyone has to say. I liked the lil breaks of monotenity (if that's a word) with the small unexpected happenings and the funny moments related to the job. This is a cute entry and I'm happy to have played it :)
Oct 9 18:58:55	15h 10m	Tiny, Young, Dumb	♥ 1	Was pretty cute to see the little people. Not sure if there is an end game or if there's a goal, perhaps make it more clear? If there is no goal then maybe make that clear too? Music is pretty fun
Oct 9 19:17:29	18m 34s	Happy Birthday Logan	♥ 1	Visuals and mood were definitely on point. I liked the small little story you had going on. Quite a bit of emotions going on. I wish there was a better indicator of what to do at the end, had to go to the comments to figure out I need to literally sit in a spot. Guitar player was impressively intricate. Great entry!
Oct 9 19:26:48	9m 19s	Ludum Dare 56	♥ 2	Very cool idea! Kinder Guardin is a clever name and felt very chaotic haha. Was pretty funny and tutorial was definitely needed. I wish there was a bit more polish to the actions but also less actions to do or worry about. Was pretty cool and was a very funny idea. Good job!
Oct 9 20:16:16	49m 28s	Beetle Era	♥ 1	Honestly this is a pretty strong entry with the mechanics and use of stat building and everything. Thoroughly enjoyed the game, couldn't get past the double base part though, felt pretty hard but I'm not a usual RTS player. This was pretty well designed as a unit builder. Saw another game with a similar concept but very different aesthetic and theme and genre. Pretty well done!
Oct 9 20:33:13	16m 57s	Candyween	♥ 2	Very cute and cozy little game! Understanding the mechanics was nice once I figured out what to do and there was a generous amount of time. Pixel art was adorable. Wish there was more. Good job!
Oct 9 20:40:49	7m 36s	Play With Me	♥ 4	Wow, honestly did NOT expect a tomagotchi + DDLC combo this jam. Very well done, nailed the vibe and mood you wanted. Wish there was more, felt like there could've been a whole story. But you told it well in such a small amount of time. Good job!
Oct 9 20:53:58	13m 09s	PATCHONOMICON	♥ 3	Pretty funny little game. No pressure to get it right but was kinda intellectually interesting to see how much I could fit. I wish the feedback / results were a bit more immediate like maybe a little bar that shows fill score and color score to see where I'm going when I place something and see if it's getting better or worse. Other than that, the creepy little ending was actually pretty funny, didn't expect this combo haha. Good job!
Oct 9 21:06:19	12m 21s	G-news	♥ 4	WOW, this was a real winner of an entry right here. The music was phenomonal and loved keeping up the propaganda up to the clarinet. The art was so charming and sweet. Wish there was a bit more feedback when it came to whether I had to hold or just click (I rushed through the tutorial a bit so I ended up punching the wires to repair it and thought it was kinda funny actually). Hilarious take on the theme, great music and vocals, liked the combo of high paced FFNAF gameplay but lighthearted and fun with a papers please storyline that takes itself lightly with a running joke. GREAT entry and I applaud you all.
Oct 9 21:14:25	8m 06s	Autumn Picnic	♥ 0	Phenomenal entry! Loved the mm cumbchy sounds and the fact it starts off a bit cozy and calm and peaceful (while secretly teaching me how to play) to then becoming kinda like a puzzler on how to proceed and grow so you can avoid the fly traps was actually brilliant. Loved the small color changes on the body segments on things you eat. A masterful combination of art, design, sounds, and gameplay. This one is a winner. Only criticism is that I wanted more. But it ended beautifully with unexpectedly eating the whole stump haha. Great job!!!
Oct 9 21:21:41	7m 16s	Tiny Fallk	♥ 2	What an unbelievably cute game. LOVED the pixel art and the animation of the little guys. The ending building was incredibly adorable and the little story told was also super cute. Don't really have any criticism for something like this, maybe the physics were a bit wonky sometimes but other than that it was really well done and I loved it. Great job!
Oct 9 21:28:32	6m 51s	Tiny Adventure	♥ 1	Honestly loved this little entry. Pretty funny take and I thought the visuals were well done even for being tiny. Wish there was more. A boss or something even if it was simple would've been a great way to end it. I thought it was funny you can still talk to people and I just felt compelled to despite not being able to read it. Well done presentation. Good job!
Oct 9 21:47:16	18m 44s	Blood Crux	♥ 2	Pretty strong entry! What a wonderful little game loop, it was incredibly satisfying to kill enemies and then seamlessly turn into bats to kill a horde and then turn back for more beat downs. Pretty incredible feat of programming for the visuals but definitely would've benefitted from a boss or two at some point, or something immune to the bats. Could've kept going endlessly. Other than that it was a real solid entry and the name on the grave was a cherry on top. Fantastic job!
Oct 9 22:08:23	21m 07s	Beyond Fear	♥ 2	Very impressive art and mood! I think it's an interesting take that reminds me of limbo, felt like you could've leaned into that a bit more and instead of populating the level with more of the same insects and stuff, loosen up the controls to be more forgiving with bigger jumps and make it kinda like a precision platformer than a single sidescroller. Also a check point right before the boat or something would've greatly increased the replayability of attempts. Good job!
Oct 9 22:25:29	17m 06s	Little Chef	♥ 2	Very cool little game. One of the neatest ideas and honestly wonderful inspiration to take. However for some reason I wasn't able to cut very much after a little bit. Wondering if it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. Nevertheless, scrolled through a bunch of little characters and thought the designs were funny. Nice job!
Oct 9 22:42:58	17m 29s	Cosmic Critter Chess	♥ 1	Very nicely done game! Liked the chess but with a twist and abilities kind of angle. Would've loved more and maybe some kind of free play mode. Definitely an expandable game. Great job!
Oct 9 22:57:33	14m 35s	ONE MILLION MICROSCOPIC KITTENS	♥ 3	Haha this was a pretty funny little game. Never have I been more terrified of a roomba before. Wish it was a little shorter since the loop was repetitive but otherwise a fun little 3d platformer. Loved the catscan pun!
Oct 10 00:32:01	1h 34m	Small Problems To Grapple With	♥ 2	Loved your take on a paper aesthetic! We also had a paper-like artstyle for a game made in Godot. But it was definitely different (check it out haha). Would love to ask about how you did the physics for a grappler since I liked how it played and I had trouble making my own grappler. On the game itself: Loved the art style and the loop, it was a bit confusing to figure out exactly what kills the bugs, could've had more feedback/juice on that. But really enjoyed grappling around and I enjoyed the protagonist very much! Good job!
Oct 10 00:44:56	12m 55s	BeetleBall	♥ 2	Really ambitious to design a MULTIPLAYER game that's team based, well done and seems both funny and also well designed as a viable sport like game with interesting rules. Great take on a theme! Good job!
Oct 10 01:24:59	40m 03s	Koi	♥ 1	Wow, what a fun little game. Enjoyed the procedural animation (I love how I know exactly what method you used) and the boids combined into a fun flow game of basically boids snake. Fantastic idea and I loved the changing color. I think I did pretty decently right? image.png
Oct 15 22:55:40	141h 30m	My Keyboard is Full of Ants!	♥ 2	Wow. Another very impressive submission! I loved the way each different type of ant made you really have to think. The upgrades for scores was really interesting and to top off the great ant gameplay along with upgrades, it has a hilarious little story using the words that was typed. I've always liked your submissions since 11th Hour, and I have to say you continue to impress me and I continue to pretty much look up to you and your work. It's always fun seeing what you have in store for a jam and reading your follow up posts. Excellent job! [P.S. Thanks for the inadvertent shout-out of our game Wink and the Fae with your gif showcasing your game haha]
Oct 15 23:54:19	58m 39s	Tiny Checkers	♥ 1	WOW, what a great game, I can't believe you packed so much into one weekend. It's very well polished, well structured, so much content. Lots of pieces and levels with lots of little bits of polish on the board, I mean having a whole board game is already crazy. It was really good! How did you manage to do so much? It's super well done! Good job!!
