Oct 8 02:25:18		Hundreds & Thousands	♥ 3	Super cute art style, the music and sound design fit perfectly. The hammering is satisfying, but I feel like there should be an option to turn off or at least scale down the screen shaking, it gave me a bit of a headache but could just be me! Great entry overall, very humorous and creative :D
Oct 8 04:07:27	1h 42m	tiny villages	♥ 0	very nice job! I love these kinds of games, the art is really cute and I like the little sense of progression you get.
Oct 8 04:27:36	20m 09s	Save Nebuville	♥ 3	Nicely done! Simple concept done quite well. I like the upgrades and the different faces and was certainly surprised by the last guy haha. Well done!
Oct 8 04:40:05	12m 29s	Rise of the Wee Giraffes	♥ 1	yeah I vibe with this
Oct 8 04:48:04	7m 59s	Lil Fella Killa	♥ 2	Big Win! Fun game, really like the audio and the contrast between the surroundings and the little fellas. I went into a trance just focusing on cleaning them up haha, great job!
Oct 9 00:03:15	19h 15m	Gobblin' Goblin	♥ 3	Super cute art and I like that there are different audio tracks for the different levels. The gameplay was a bit difficult to figure out but once I did it was quite fun and it got pretty hectic. I came across a bug where if you had two gobbos with different ingredients at the prep table, they would both turn into whatever ingredient was prepped first. I also had a case where I had -1 ingredients and it wouldn't go up regardless of how many times I added it to the pot. Otherwise, though, neat entry and really creative idea, great job!

Oct 9 00:25:07	21m 52s	Mighty Mice	♥ 1	Neat RTS! I like having a commander to run around as and give orders. As others have pointed out, it was difficult to tell how to create units, I went to the comments to see and thankfully found an answer, and then Q+E were swapped for the buildings as well. I couldn't defeat the cat, it seems like the archers do no damage to it, but overall a good entry, props to building this with just two people!
Oct 9 00:38:21	13m 14s	Happy Birthday Logan	♥ 1	gosh this was wonderful, I don't even know where to start. The visuals are stylized and perfect, the writing is spot-on, the audio... oof, going up those stairs hurt in that specific way. Gathering the gang together to just SIT around the tv is so incredibly heartwarming and just the thing a good friend would do in this situation. 5/5's all around. Happy Birthday Logan.
Oct 9 00:52:02	13m 41s	Critter Conflict	♥ 3	Really nice entry! The boss designs are fun, the gameplay is smooth and responsive, the attacks are all really well telegraphed - all comes together to make for a really satisfying run. Awesome job!
Oct 9 01:09:30	17m 28s	You Can Save The Rat	♥ 4	As others have said, really love the contrast between the regular gameplay and the death scenes - it really makes you want to get the true ending. Great job!
Oct 9 01:18:09	8m 39s	Flea Circus	♥ 2	What a fun concept! The idea of having inputs recorded and replayed is really clever and really ramps up the flea circus vibes. Love the audio as well, very fitting. Nicely done!
Oct 9 01:41:32	23m 23s	Little Friends	♥ 1	Really nice entry! As others have said, it was unclear that the second flower that spawns is interactable for class change, but once that's done the game is quite solid. The music is relaxing, but I found the attack noises by the slimes quite jarring. I like that the player is able to zoom out to watch their workers, really feels like you're overseeing an ant colony :D
Oct 9 01:56:06	14m 34s	a pixie perfect fairytale	♥ 0	aw this is wonderful, love the art style and the audio, really nails the fairy tale vibe!
Oct 13 16:01:34	110h 05m	Tiny Galaxies	♥ 3	Oh this is incredible. Super well polished and fun, I could spend hours playing this getting all the achievements. As others have mentioned, I found the difficulty curve a bit steep, and I didn't realize the different critters give you different upgrades at first and it took a few runs to memorize them. Overall, amazing job!
Oct 13 16:15:15	13m 41s	Wink and the Fae	♥ 1	What a cute game! I really love the aesthetics and how it plays. I also appreciate that just having your critters in a conga line doesn't keep them safe - I was unsure at first at how I had some that died, but it totally makes sense that you should avoid touching the enemies, haha. I wonder if having to reload would be good? It would make the game more difficult but maybe it doesn't need it, with how many enemies you could end up with on screen. I'd love to see how this gets expanded either way, really nice entry!
Oct 13 16:20:35	5m 20s	Run Lilliputes	♥ 1	The jumping mechanics could use some work but it's a neat idea with having to change forms!
Oct 13 16:29:40	9m 05s	Wish Town	♥ 2	Ohhh this is creepy with the visuals and audio design, nicely done!
Oct 13 16:37:17	7m 37s	Beyond Fear	♥ 2	Love the visuals, they're so beautiful and moody!
Oct 13 16:54:18	17m 01s	FrogScape	♥ 0	Neat game! I like the chess-like movement of the different characters combined with the audio of the movement, really sells the feel. Having to move each unit individually though felt like a chore, especially when you have no more enemies to fight. There's no more challenge and it's just tedious to have to move all your pieces when you just need one to get a key and another to open the door for efficiency. Otherwise neat entry! Love frogs! :)
Oct 13 17:01:58	7m 40s	Tiny Mutators Descend	♥ 2	Neat game! I like the art and the one voice line haha, made me giggle. The different creature mechanics are fun and puzzle was good. I feel like it could use some more audio, as well as indicator of which creature you have selected, but otherwise well done!
Oct 13 17:30:30	28m 32s	Nights in the cozy shack	♥ 3	Ohhh I like this a lot. The graphics are spot on for a game like this, along with the lighting and audio. Once I figured out that the mimic can only be the objects highlighted (I was originally looking at the furniture as well haha) it was very fun memorizing what objects were where with every match life. Nicely done!
Oct 13 18:03:05	32m 35s	Prince Charmony	♥ 2	This is super clean and impressive, even more so for a Compo entry, holy. The voice acting is top tier, the graphics are great, the singing along audio is incredible, the puzzles are so so clever. I ended up using the walkthrough for one of them (didn't think about what solid objects implied!) but for the rest of the levels it felt great once I had the solution figured out. Amazing amazing job!
Oct 13 18:12:32	9m 27s	Escape from Wonderland	♥ 3	The visuals are nice and the tutorial is incredibly helpful. I wish there was a bit more feedback when you're hitting enemies and when you get hit - it sometimes feels like I die out of nowhere. The jumping doesn't feel great, it's a little too floaty, and the base camera position feels a bit low. Overall though I like the premise and the ideas there, great job!
Oct 17 00:06:28	77h 53m	Backpack Dungeon	♥ 1	Screenshot 2024-10-16 190551.jpg Cute game! I like the chill music and the click clack sound of the mining, and all the faces haha. I wonder how this can be expanded, maybe different types of pickaxes that mine in a different pattern? Or little temporary buffs you can pick up? Solid start either way!
Oct 17 00:11:32	5m 04s	Tiny World Mayhem	♥ 2	omg love the visuals and the audio, from the music to the little noises they make to the splatter sounds. Great intro as well, it adds a lot to the feeling of polish. Great job!
Oct 17 00:17:45	6m 13s	Stuart's Perfect Day	♥ 2	ah what a cute relaxing game. Love the visuals so much and the music and the little guys. Plantyhead is my favorite so far.
Oct 17 00:28:56	11m 11s	My Crazy Little Garden	♥ 1	ohh this is really neat. I feel like a lot of thought went into making such a chaotic looking game feel less chaotic, especially the big arrow and shadow under the active bug, the bugs being very clearly different looking and having an interactable object highlighted to make sure the player knows exactly what 'job' they're assigning. I wish there was some audio but it's such a polished game otherwise, great job!
