| Oct 7 21:38:41 | G'nope | ♥ 1 | That was g'nice! It gave me a few big belly laughs actually. It watched the Dungeon Soup videos after I played and it made alot more sense, but honestly the game stood on its own without the context. Looks great, smooth as butter and hilarious. Thank you. | |
| Oct 7 21:51:00 | 12m 19s | Don't Scratch That Itch | ♥ 2 | Really cool implementation of the theme, and creeped the bejesus outta me (which I'm assuming is intentional) so great job there. I didn't initially understand exactly what I had to do, but because it's such a tight gameplay loop it became clearer each time I had a go. Nice tight game :D. |
| Oct 7 22:42:27 | 51m 27s | DWARFS | ♥ 1 | So I'm potentially going to go against the grain here, but my eyes were glued to the fat stacks my DWARFS were making, I guess it's swings and roundabouts with this sort of game. I would have loved to be able to buy some upgrades for the probes, but I suppose the 'company' wouldn't have wanted that to eat into their margins. Overall, it's extremely polished, but I have come to expect that from you now so no surprises there. It is consistent throughout, has a satisyfing and engaging loop. Thank you. |
| Oct 8 06:57:24 | 8h 14m | Fairy Haven: The Search for Home | ♥ 2 | Beautifully presented game, I love the cohesive style and focus on storytelling. I certainly echo what has been said previously regarding balancing but that is of course beyond the scope of this length of jam. I found stories very hard to come by; and were often at the expense of resources critical for a good score. I'm pretty sure I found a very good location on one playthrough, but hadn't been fortunate on stories, so wound up with a score of 16k. I had a good amount of fun trying to figure it out, thank you. |
| Oct 8 07:22:23 | 24m 59s | AntToTopia | ♥ 1 | Unfortunately the game is crashing when I use the 'E' and 'R' hotkeys, but 'T' isn't causing the crash. Tested on both Firefox and Chrome and it crashes the same in both. Hopefully you might be able to get a bug-fixed build uploaded! anttotopia_crash.jpg |
| Oct 8 08:02:52 | 40m 29s | Small hope for a tiny sea creature | ♥ 2 | This is a great game that kept me engaged throughout. It was the perfect length too, just enough to keep me happy but it never felt repetetitve. Some of the hitboxes were probably a little too big, and the camera did some wild stuff when transitioning between views. I would probably have had a few cameras and then switched the viewport to the new camera rather than moving it, but this is a really minor thing for what was an enjoyable game. The art style is nice and consistent, and I knew I recognised that shark; Finding Nemo right? 😂 Overall this is a really solid entry, well done. |
| Oct 8 09:04:14 | 1h 01m | CYBERGERM 9001 | ♥ 1 | This was SO satisfying. I'm a real horndog for a good 'clear the whole screen with one button' power fantasy; and when my fully upgraded gatling gun bot was clearing things so fast the sound system could barely keep up, my monkey brain hit me with an overdose of dopamine. It's a nice and tight game, a simple idea that has been executed super well in my opinion. I went the completely opposite direction and I'm learning the hard way why scoping is important! The UI is really well done, the font did confuse me on the XP bar though, because I read it as HP for **ages** and was confused why my health was jumping around so much 😆. The browser version didn't run on Firefox with me, but I have a number of extensions that might have been interfering, however it ran perfectly on vanilla Chrome. I've been so inspired by the fact you guys seems to always try a new framework or engine with each game, it's really impressive. Honestly, great job, well done. |
| Oct 8 09:46:05 | 41m 51s | Ants Assemble | ♥ 1 | Really nice entry; the graphics, sound, and general feel all compliment each other and the whole experience feels really cohesive. I did run into some performance issues on the HTML5 version as my colony grew, I'm not sure if it was the pathfinding or something else, but it became noticably slow and stuttery. However this isn't reflected in my scoring because I'm certain it wouldn't be an issue on the Windows version. The gameplay loop is solid, however after an while it did get frustrating to have to keep sending out ants to reconnoitre areas I had already been shortly before and it started to feel like a bit of a chore. I think this is a great execution of a RTS for a jam, a thematically it makes complete sense. The pheromone trail system is fantastic. Overall I really enjoyed this, and it's a wonderful entry, thank you. |
| Oct 8 19:43:35 | 9h 57m | Evergrove | ♥ 3 | Wow this is really impressive for such a short jam. While it certainly stands on its own as an impressive 3 day project, it's also a great vertical slice for what could be more. The procgen and AI is extremely well done for the time, and it's no surprise or concern that music got waylayed as a result. Thematically it's just about there. Whether dwarves are a tiny or just short-kings is a semantic digression. Of course I don't need to talk about stuff you already know about improving the gameplay loop and such. The only thing that I wish wish was different would be to be able to cancel a dig. There were a few times when my dwarves started to dig to Narnia because of a misclick. But really overall it's an incredibly solid entry. Artistically it's great and the systems design is top-notch for such a short jam. |
| Oct 8 20:30:51 | 47m 16s | Watch your step | ♥ 2 | Wow that is such a creative interpretation of the theme! I love the audio and the controls are really well done. It took me a couple of goes to get a feel for the collision, the greenish shadow was helpful but I still accidently stepped on some little people. Great entry, thank you. |
| Oct 9 07:18:33 | 10h 47m | Cheese Capade | ♥ 0 | Nice little entry! The art style is sweet, and the music and sound goes well. I think the collision / hurtboxes on the spikes were a little too big, as you would get spiked standing just on the edge of the platform where the sprite isn't touching the spikes. The level design is really well thought out and it the mechanics clicked quite quickly. Well done for finishing your first jam game together :) |
| Oct 9 07:26:34 | 8m 01s | Tiny Creature Dodger | ♥ 1 | Sometimes less is more. It's really simple but executed well. Really great job getting it put together and polished after meeting your other commitments. |
| Oct 9 08:48:50 | 1h 22m | Pan-galaxy!!! Deadly Beasts Obstacle Course Grand Prix | ♥ 3 | This is such an interesting and enjoyable interpretation of the theme, honestly I really loved this. I quite like that I don't have to do too much, and can just recline back and interfere with the other contestants. The reclined gameplay is a thumbs up from me. I did find the click boxes to select your racer were a little big maybe? For example when I was clicking on the last row, it would often choose the 4th. Not a big deal really in the grand scheme of things. The art is really great and the only thing it needs is some light music! Thank you, what a nice, light polished entry :). |
| Oct 9 09:00:25 | 11m 35s | Zeus Needs You | ♥ 2 | Such a great concept, really good for your first jam game. The UI, controls and loop is spot-on, and the art is great. Awesome job. |
| Oct 9 09:36:40 | 36m 15s | Carbs vs Protein: A Scrote Jenkins Story | ♥ 1 | This is such a fever dream, but in a great way. Pure chaos, but a really solid TD implementation for the timeframe. The performance is so much better than I was expecting. Totally a minor point, but with these short jams it can be a problem with lots of units / projectiles, but everything ran great! The art is great. AI music is always going to be a contentious one, even with opting out of the rating, but I did find the lyrics to be really funny. Scrote Jenkins needs a Brotein Fart area-denial ability that can clear large spaces of all living things. Nice work. |
| Oct 9 11:58:48 | 2h 22m | Feeding the Farm | ♥ 1 | The sound effects are brilliant! It's got a lovely little gameplay loop with nice progression. I like how there are a few different ways to approach the levels; whether by placing everything beforehand, then test and adjust - or drop stuff on the fly. Great job. |
| Oct 9 14:27:15 | 2h 28m | Those Darn Nanobot AI Will Be The End of Us All | ♥ 1 | Oh I feel like I've had a really good hand-eye coordination workout! You've really nailed the UI / control scheme, I really didn't had to think too much as all about what keys to press and it all felt very natural, which I think it entirely down to how well the UI was fit for purpose. The art is absolutely fantastic, and I think this is is the perfectly length of time and difficulty for a jam game. Thank you that was fun! Capture.PNG |
| Oct 10 07:58:29 | 17h 31m | Carnivorous Corpse Aquarium : Feed & Thrive | ♥ 1 | This is a really nice vertical slice of what can easily be a bigger project. Everything looks and works great, and while I know you wanted to add more in the timeframe, this stands on its own as a self-contained little game. I think what I like most is how cohesive it all is, the art, sound, music, buttons and font all match in style and feel. Had a lot of fun, thank you. |
| Oct 10 14:27:36 | 6h 29m | TinyWar | ♥ 3 | The art is outstanding, nice little gameplay loop! Very brave on your part to have animals harmed in any way ;). It took me a couple of tries to realised that kiting the dogs around to group them together and then aoeing them down with fleas was the way to go, but I like that this was a viable and perhaps the correct way to do it. The dialogue was funny too, overall it's a super polished, concise game. Nice one. |
| Oct 10 14:36:53 | 9m 17s | Ratquarium | ♥ 2 | Great effort for your first jam game, it's really solid. I think some larger collision boxes for the cheese, and smaller collision for the projectiles would help to make it feel a little better for the player. The art is spot on, great job. |
| Oct 10 14:49:16 | 12m 23s | Creature Falls | ♥ 1 | Super cool entry, and great interpretation of the theme. Certainly very tricky and requires shaking the machine lots, but I started to get the hang of saving the little guys. Just a small note, make sure to assign a platform when you upload to Itch, otherwise it won't let people download and install it through the Itch app (which sandboxes it, so people don't have to run random executables directly on their system). Great little game, thank you. |
| Oct 10 15:20:03 | 30m 47s | Bugtallion | ♥ 1 | This is awesome. It's a really complete experience, and thouroughly enjoyable. I can see a few comments from people about unluckly dice, I have no idea whether it's truly random or not, but most games cheat with dice and 'random rolls' because humans usually feel hard done by on rolls that are truly random. Truly great entry, I love the strategy element, the art is great, but possibly is mismatched in places? I feel like the font on the Main menu and then the start button clash for example, but I'm really having to clutch at straws because there's really nothing about the game I didn't like! Amazing, thanks. |
