| Oct 9 14:52:43 | Leapo Froggo | ♥ 1 | Simple and fun, leaderboard definitely hooked me a bit longer and works great for this kind of game. Frog sprite is great lol. | |
| Oct 9 15:23:42 | 30m 59s | Attention Spam | ♥ 1 | Great concept! I started off focusing more on the gameplay but ended up getting drawn to the feed and let my lower brain take over the critters (which feels appropriate). I ended up wasting about 10 minutes before quitting. Not sure if the challenge ramps up more after that but it didn't seem like it. |
| Oct 9 15:49:40 | 25m 58s | Cardboard Kitty | ♥ 1 | Super cute from the drawings to the cardboard world! Almost feels like it was actually made by real cardboard. |
| Oct 9 16:19:37 | 29m 57s | Look | ♥ 1 | Really cool concept! I got about 10 at my best. Music definitely adds to the mood, I also got some creepy vibes from those googly eyes staring at me π . Maybe this could work in some kind of horror game. |
| Oct 9 17:59:30 | 1h 39m | Honey Hoard | ♥ 1 | Cool graphics and cute audio! Definitely a bit janky and confusing at first but after reading the description I think I kinda get it. Main timer is definitely short though unless there is a way to extend it? As it is time runs out before you really get a chance to get things going. |
| Oct 9 18:24:24 | 24m 54s | Tiny Creatures Creator | ♥ 1 | What do I press for the tech support for the tech support? :) |
| Oct 9 18:37:18 | 12m 54s | SNANT | ♥ 1 | Really cool mix of genres, like snake and tower defense kinda. Screenwrap go me confused at first but I figured it out eventually. |
| Oct 9 18:57:28 | 20m 10s | TINY GOON (Ludum Dare 56) | ♥ 2 | I really wanted to continue to see where this goes but there were 2 jumps that seemed near impossible to make blocking my progress. Feels kinda like a creepy pasta game lol. Like it looks cute but everything from the graphics to the sound, the kinda janky physics, the sword that does nothing, "find the monolith". Everything has this eerie and "off" feeling π |
| Oct 9 19:17:52 | 20m 24s | Those Darn Nanobot AI Will Be The End of Us All | ♥ 1 | I always love claymation in games. Cool! I like that there are good guys mixed in as well so you can't just spam the keys (something I've seen overlooked in these kinds of games sometime). Using the mouse as well constantly keeps you occupied as well which is good. The music and sound gave me kind of a rythm game feel which could be one way to go for something like this. |
| Oct 9 19:46:02 | 28m 10s | Immune Defense | ♥ 1 | Nice tower defense game! Polished graphics and sound. Not sure how much it the difficulty ramps up but after I had built up a solid defense line the enemy had a difficult time to break through. I got up to wave 16 but then the game crashed on me π . |
| Oct 9 20:24:19 | 38m 17s | Dream Quest: Land of the Living Wishes | ♥ 2 | Looks amazing! Really polished graphics and sweet music too! Could use a bit more sfx for feedback. Not sure I really understood the wish system. I could never make it past the duck room so not sure what is left to discover there sadly, they were a bit too tough for me π . |
| Oct 9 20:35:05 | 10m 46s | Critter Switcher | ♥ 0 | Nice and complete package! Took a bit until I learned how to deal with each enemy but I got there. Each animal having it's own little gameplay trait was a nice touch (never figured out the birds speciality though, unless it just flies like the bat). Sound was a bit screwed up for me on the web version (playback got progressivly slower and slower) but the game ran fine besides that. |
| Oct 15 17:10:21 | 140h 35m | Kanker Killer | ♥ 1 | This is a really cool and ambitious concept. The left panel intrigued me more than the actual gameplay (it's a totally fine twin stick shooter though). Would definitely be cool to see the system used in something bigger and with some more explanation (I wish I had a better grasp of human anatomy π ). |
| Oct 15 17:48:12 | 37m 51s | Llort | ♥ 1 | Damn goblins always making me late. I expected a platformer but it was fun that it was more of a classic beat 'em up which I don't see that often. A bit janky and short but still quite fun to kick some goblins. |
| Oct 15 18:13:42 | 25m 30s | Microbe match maker | ♥ 1 | Really cute! At first I thougt there would be some logic depending on how they look but once I figured out it was more a kin to mastermind it made more sense. Was a bit frustrating to place the creatures in the box before I worked out you have to put them a bit lower than you think. Some cute sound effects would've been nice to have for some added feedback and polish. |
| Oct 15 18:51:10 | 37m 28s | Gnaw MoreοΌ | ♥ 1 | Such a simple and fun concept. At first I though you were just supposed to get to the exit and was like "is that it? π " but I'm glad it was a bit deeper than that. Could definitely see this expanded with more food items and hazards. |
| Oct 15 20:05:18 | 1h 14m | Shrew | ♥ 1 | Awesome! Super polished and really a complete package. Really neat 3D effect for the cave. Had a lot of fun solving all the puzzles in the cave. |
| Oct 15 20:18:13 | 12m 55s | Cheeese Watch | ♥ 1 | Nice! Love the frame by frame animation and both graphics and sounds have some nice juice to them. Feels great chaining attacks. Maybe the background could use some color, especially since the mice and particles are gray as well. |
| Oct 15 20:55:16 | 37m 03s | Tinyzilla | ♥ 1 | Clicking around feels really satisfying, not sure if it's the sound effect, the circle animation or the pretty smooth pathfinding but probably all. I died the first time because it didn't dawn on me that the little player guy had health and needed to be protected. Background hurt my eyes a bit but the character art has it's charm lol and that title screen spiral was pretty neat. |
| Oct 15 21:33:00 | 37m 44s | Petri Wars | ♥ 1 | Nice and polished! Looks really great and cohesive and soundtrack fits as well. You can always add more to these games but for a jam it feels just right and not overwhelming. You don't really need that many cyanobacteria before you can pretty much build constantly but that could probably be balanced with more expensive bacteria (or other ways to spend resources) if you ever expanded on this. |
| Oct 16 13:46:16 | 16h 13m | My Crazy Little Garden | ♥ 1 | Cute and beautiful graphics! Really love the color palette, the only thing missing visually would maybe be some effect when you do an action for some extra juice and clearness. Sound would add a lot too. |
| Oct 16 14:02:11 | 15m 55s | Nomnoms | ♥ 1 | Quite satisfying controlling a swarm! Wasn't sure there was an end game as I struggled to find more enemies after a while but after checking the comments I hunted the big guy down. Fps definitely dropped by the end but maybe that's just the web build. |
| Oct 16 14:17:00 | 14m 49s | Peculiar Pickings | ♥ 1 | I liked it! Without the music, I would've probably stopped way sooner but it kinda put me in a zen state while messing with the creatures. Pretty cool messing around with the music too. |
| Oct 16 14:47:52 | 30m 52s | Beetle with a Mixtape | ♥ 3 | Great little metroidvania with some nice level design and art. Only thing missing is sound. All forms feel quite balanced and no one really overtakes any other in what they excel at. The gauntlet at the end where you have to quickly switch forms was super fun! |
| Oct 16 16:38:28 | 1h 50m | INFESTED | ♥ 2 | Nice and suspenseful! Simple graphics but they work well and are cohesive, great music track fitting the mood. Really nice to have the little minigame for the antidote as well to mix things up. I appreciate the checkpoints so deaths weren't too frustrating. |
| Oct 16 17:55:32 | 1h 17m | Critter Catchers | ♥ 1 | Simple idea, great execution! Very polished all around. Music speeding up was a nice touch. Pretty humerous dialogue so not sure why you opted out π . |
| Oct 16 18:11:21 | 15m 49s | David vs Goliath: What the government doesn't want you to know | ♥ 1 | As a tiny creature, I approve of representation. Pretty fun boss fight but not too challenging. Dodged and shot the first time, tried the spear the second time and realised I could just stand next to the boss and spam it to win so could use some balancing. Voiceovers and cutscenes are always fun as expected. |
| Oct 16 18:40:50 | 29m 29s | TINY PACK | ♥ 1 | Pretty addicting, I would've kept playing if it didn't end π . Really fun and super polished. I have no complaints, I just wanted more. If I were you, I'd consider making a full release of this. |
| Oct 16 19:33:39 | 52m 49s | Mini Mutiny | ♥ 1 | Dream sequence confused me because I got the sensor bug, failed the mission and got sent to prison. I thought that would restart me but it led me to the next level anyway π . I got the hang of it after that though. I like that there are a variety of jobs and once you learn where everything is (and what they are) it goes pretty smoothly from there. |
| Oct 16 19:58:42 | 25m 03s | Frogotten Focus | ♥ 1 | Congrats on your first jam! Biggest issue I had was the control layout, like others have mentioned. I'm happy you didn't neglect audio as it gives important feedback that sometime is overlooked (although sound effects are a bit too loud compaired to the music). Visual effects can also be added for additional clearity/feedback, for example some particles or flashing when an enemy is hit/dies or when you are shooting charging. Little things to add polish and better game feel. Good job on finishing, keep it up! |
| Oct 16 20:15:06 | 16m 24s | Mobile Group [Ballbam]: Together We're Strong | ♥ 1 | "as a mecha of tiny creatures" made me do a double take. Not sure what I expected but it was also exacly that π€£. Pretty fun arcady game with some pumping music. The sharks making the same noise as the wolves made me crack up. |
| Oct 16 20:30:54 | 15m 48s | Tiny Inc. Repair Shop | ♥ 1 | Nice puzzler! Nice and polished graphics, the only thing that felt a bit off style was the you "fixed it popup" but it's a minor issue. Wish it had some sound effects but other than that I have no complaints. |
| Oct 16 21:04:23 | 33m 29s | Cosmic Critter Chess | ♥ 1 | Awesome chess variant! My mistakes always came down to treating it like normal chess and not one where my knight can move 2 times in a row or a rook rams through everything in it's path. On top of that there are special abilities adding another layer. One thing though, I wish there was a bigger color difference between yours and the opponents pieces to easier tell them apart. |
| Oct 16 21:43:34 | 39m 11s | Last Rollbug | ♥ 1 | I really like they way you have to travel back and the different challenge it adds by having to clear enemies and escort the other bug. It got pretty hectic. The jump is very awkward to use though and I could never really get used to it but respawns are quick and I got through by the end. Nice artstyle too! |
| Oct 16 22:02:01 | 18m 27s | Forest Tower Defense | ♥ 1 | Was definitely hard until I figured out you get resources and can place additional creatures during waves which helped out a lot π . Nice tower defense game, I like the way it shows the next waves path with the particles (even though it's just two right now). |
| Oct 16 22:22:45 | 20m 44s | Dance with the Sprites | ♥ 1 | Congrats on your first compo! Quite moody with the lightning effects and chime. I figured you'd need to collect the orbs to be able to do the attack but not sure if that was really the case as I always seemed to be able to use it. Maybe some bar or somthing could show how much energy you have and can use. |
| Oct 16 22:47:39 | 24m 54s | Norrland | ♥ 1 | After a few tries, I managed to survive the night with 1 survivor left π . At first I thought the game should have some indicator showing values for food vs warmth but I think that would take away from the point and make it less interesting. It's more of an art game and it becomes more about a gut feeling how long you spend before each switch. What I really want to say is "To Be Fair, You Have To Have a Very High IQ to..." π€£. |
| Oct 16 23:02:24 | 14m 45s | Cheddar Chaser | ♥ 1 | Nice stealth game! I really like the low perspective, you definitely feel small. |
| Oct 16 23:09:29 | 7m 05s | Snail away | ♥ 1 | Super juicy both the graphics and sound. Feels great to play, now it just needs some more levels. |
| Oct 16 23:20:53 | 11m 24s | Hooverfield | ♥ 1 | Cute! It was fun just to switch the cameras around. Especially love how the sound mixing changes with the camera angle as well, super nice touch. |
| Oct 18 14:55:32 | 39h 34m | PogoCombo | ♥ 1 | Nice! Pretty satisfying bounce mechanic. Looks, sounds and feels really polished! |
| Oct 18 15:11:53 | 16m 21s | Eater Scrutiny | ♥ 0 | Great idea! Nice that it kept switching up the rules after a bit to keep things interesting. |
| Oct 18 15:29:23 | 17m 30s | Bug Attack 2 | ♥ 1 | Neat "reverse" tower defense. I like the added depth of having to not only reach the sugar but also be able to consume all of it. Nice polished graphics and sound for feedback. Just needs some music. |
| Oct 18 15:46:47 | 17m 24s | MicroMan | ♥ 0 | The first ant death made me laugh. Some levels are quite clever in how the perspective shift is used. |
| Oct 18 15:58:16 | 11m 29s | Kopeng run! | ♥ 1 | That was fun! Cool 3d effect and love the sounds of the little guys. |
| Oct 18 19:17:26 | 3h 19m | Niblo and Mubbit | ♥ 1 | Great use of the theme! That cloud was quite frustrating but that was the point π . Nice little story, I got both endings in the end. |
| Oct 19 13:43:28 | 18h 26m | Ladybug's Underworld | ♥ 1 | Neat metroidvania! I liked that when you thought you were done there is another door because I didn't remember seeing any other coins at that point. I was curious though so I went back. Sadly I softlocked myself before finding the last coin. Nice moody atmosphere although I feel it's a bit too dark. |
| Oct 19 14:07:32 | 24m 04s | Beefore the end | ♥ 1 | Nice! I found the most challenging part was avoiding bees exiting the hive. I think the slow speed of the bees is fine as long as you are managing multiple bees but once I was down to one bee, much of the challenge was lost and the gameplay became very slow. Maybe there should be a minimum amount of bees you need to keep alive as well. |
| Oct 19 15:13:10 | 1h 05m | Squeezlings | ♥ 3 | Great entry! For some reason I didn't pay attention to the evolution symbols for the longest time and I didn't understand why all my squeezlings just ignored the Brimquince. I think they all had been so imbreed with arm evolutions other than the scissors. Once I made a batch of new squeezlings I finally got som scissorhands and it went smoothly from there. At some point I got a bug where the chopsticks where stuck and I couldn't interact with anything. I kept the game running for a while and suddenly it got unstuck, thankfully and I could finish the run. Nice graphics, the chopsticks and finger were a nice choice. Some nice sounds and chill music as well and a cool evolution system. |
| Oct 19 17:03:56 | 1h 50m | Crazy Critters | ♥ 2 | Neat! Looks and sounds nice! The little voices were great. Wasn't too hard as enemies did not seem to keep spawning in. I tried a second time to see what happens when you get attacked and there could probably be some more feedback when you are getting hit. |
| Oct 19 21:50:32 | 4h 46m | Tiny Car | ♥ 1 | Really cool zoom effect. The feel of the car speeding up as it zooms in because of the perspective change is a nice touch. While it takes some time to get used to the slippery controls they are pretty satisfying. |
