Oct 9 18:53:53 Mobile Group [Ballbam]: Together We're Strong ♥ 1 This is a lot of fun. I especially like how you set up level 2. It seemed too convenient at first to have all my critters rolling back to me, until the sharks started eating them all!
Oct 9 19:11:07 17m 14s Are you listening? ♥ 2 This is really beautiful. I played through all the endings, and I appreciate that you put the time into showing a variety of outcomes. The extra effort it takes to even consider healthy choices when you're in a dark place is so relatable.
Oct 9 19:23:54 12m 47s Shrink ♥ 0 This is a cool way to use the theme as a time limit! I think if you made the growth a bit more obvious visually, you could remove the timer and let the art communicate the urgency by itself. I'd love to play more levels exploring this concept. Putting some hazards on the ceiling could be an interesting way to add more tension.
Oct 23 18:14:43 334h 50m Wispering Woods ♥ 5 Beatuiful art and mood, cute dialogue! It took me a while to figure out how to get into the swamp, but I managed to find all the wisps in the end. I hope you continue working on this, it feels like a great intro to a longer game.
Oct 23 18:22:59 8m 16s Shrimpy ♥ 4 This is surprisingly challenging! The art and animation are adorable, and really well polished. I would totally play an endless mode.
Oct 23 18:40:08 17m 09s Ludum Dare 56 ♥ 2 The constant sound of kids screaming stressed me out almost as much as the gameplay 😭 This is hilariously chaotic. Instead of being thrown into the deep end after one big tutorial, it might have been helpful to ease in by unlocking one skill at a time. It was a lot to figure out while children were dying horrible deaths all around me. But the panic definitely enhances the mood!
Oct 23 19:06:31 26m 23s PATCHONOMICON ♥ 2 I love my new hideous demonic outfit. I started out with the best intentions to fill in the right colors, only for it to inevitably devolve into a mess. This is delightfully creepy, and a super unique take on the theme!
Oct 23 19:17:22 10m 51s Bodega Bandit ♥ 1 Cute art and animations! I like the design of the critter, and the freaked out expressions on the people make it really funny to mess with them.
Oct 24 14:03:37 18h 46m Rogue Creatures ♥ 1 Love the minimalist art style! The animations and color palette make it feel polished despite the simplicity. The upgrade options add a lot of variety. I appreciate the distinction between upgrading current vs future creatures. Especially early on, it makes the choices more interesting and impactful. Great job!
Oct 24 14:37:58 34m 21s Chanterune ♥ 6 This is gorgeous. Great platforming, and a really cool concept! I appreciate how you managed teach the mechanics by integrating the tutorial into the environment design. The firefly area was a bit confusing at times, since some sections never got any light. I wish it were slightly more friendly to navigate when the fireflies are lit, but I like the general idea. There are a reasonable number of opportunities to practice each song before having to execute combinations of them quickly, so it felt like a good challenge without getting frustrating. I would play a full version of this!
Oct 24 14:48:24 10m 26s Magical Girl Danmaku Dandelina ♥ 1 You fit a lot of variety into this! It's tough, but that's probably mostly a skill issue on my part. Those rainbow candy-looking projectiles look so appealing that I kept wanting to collect them. I appreciated starting with enough health to get a good feel for the game even when I was terrible at it. It was nice to have time to get some upgrades, see a variety of enemies, and try to get enough practice to suck less the next time.
Oct 24 15:03:14 14m 50s Kick That Cat ♥ 1 Very funny! I'd have liked the kick to be more responsive, or for the cats to fall quicker. I was so focused on not missing the timing that it was hard to manage the distance or pay as much attention to the enemies. A successful kick was super satisfying when I got it right, though! I felt my cat silently judging me the whole time 😬
Oct 24 15:25:32 22m 18s The Fish that Figured it Out ♥ 2 I love a good idle game! The music is perfectly chill for a long play session, and the color palette is so cozy and inviting. Super minor nitpick, but I'd like if the fish were just a little bigger. They're so tiny that I didn't feel like making the effort to click on them after the first couple of minutes, so I ended up just letting it run at its own pace. It still works fine without any clicking, but given the slow early game, it would be nice if that option were a bit more compelling.
Oct 24 15:49:23 23m 51s Tardigrade Travels: A Tardigrade's Terrifyingly Terrific Traversal Through Time! ♥ 1 Adorable, funny, and unexpectedly educational?? The animation is absolutely stunning, especially considering the time limit. This is a unique experience. Well done!
Oct 24 16:27:44 38m 21s a Tiny Working Day ♥ 1 Super cute art style! I enjoyed it a lot once I got the rhythm down. You definitely succeeded at introducing a little magic into mundane tasks.
Oct 24 16:35:46 8m 02s Snail away ♥ 1 That movement is crazy satisfying! I'm impressed by how intuitive it felt to navigate the level in an unexpected way. The snail animation adds so much character to a unique concept. Awesome job!
Oct 24 16:52:10 16m 24s Color Critters ♥ 1 You packed in an impressive number of levels and mechanics! I really enjoyed the variety of puzzles. The mechanics were well introduced, and just the right level of challenge. Love the retro asethetic, too!
Oct 24 17:05:04 12m 54s Gut Check ♥ 0 I think it could benefit from a faster pace, but it's a neat concept. I like the minimalist aesthetic. The RNG was cruel to me every time, so a little balancing would be helpful.
Oct 24 17:21:22 16m 18s AquariumHunter ♥ 1 More games should include a color picker. Of course I stupidly chose a color that blended into the background the first time around πŸ˜… I really like how the boost meter encourages stealth. Having to be patient and strategic about stalking my prey made for an interesting challenge. The evolution mechanic is a cool way to add a bit more long term strategy, too.
Oct 24 17:37:20 15m 58s The Mech-Ant’s Last Stand ♥ 0 The music is AWESOME. I'm terrible at bullet hell games, but this one didn't feel unreasonably punishing, so I appreciate that! Cool interpretation of the theme. The employee of the month sign made me laugh. And then feel like a jerk.
Oct 24 17:54:12 16m 52s Souls of the Lost and Insignificant ♥ 1 This is crazy polished for a jam game, and my favorite so far. The art is gorgeous! I'm a sucker for a creepy cult aesthetic. The titles add a ton of replayability. I'm going to come back to this one later to try for all of them!
