| Apr 8 04:24:24 | The Lift | ♥ 2 | Great job on this game. The graphics, UI, and music were all very polished. Our team also made a top down survival game with limited vision, so it was interesting to see how you approached this. Considering the player's limited vision, I think The Lift would benefit a lot from having more sound effects for enemies such as a sound for the turrets moving or the drones flying towards the player. | |
| Apr 8 04:51:24 | 27m 00s | What Lurks Below | ♥ 3 | Good job. The pixel art and sound are great. I wasn't aware I could scroll to go deeper until I saw you mention it in the comments here. Now that I know, I'm keen to find out what lurks below. |
| Apr 8 05:43:30 | 52m 06s | Rapid Eye Microgames | ♥ 1 | Awesome art style and music, especially given the short time frame. The mini-games were also fun. I did unfortunately run into a bug where the game was stuck on a black screen after I lost and tried to go back to sleep, but I was able to just close and open the game again. |
| Apr 8 08:16:15 | 2h 32m | Kika's Eggsplosive Descent | ♥ 5 | The painterly style of the cover art drew me in. I'm glad this style was incorporated into the game. You should definitely lean in to this style more in your future endeavours. The gameplay was relatively simple but surprisingly challenging. Suffice to say, I have yet to find out what is at the end of Kika's Eggsplosive Descent. |
| Apr 8 14:33:23 | 6h 17m | Blind Abyss | ♥ 2 | Cool and funny. I like this. I feel like it could use a simple story to justify why I am madly and blindly descending into a pit and throwing off every passerby along the way. Unfortunately, I don't have the option to rate this on this page for some reason. |
| Apr 8 14:46:26 | 13m 03s | Memories O'5 | ♥ 3 | I think there is a lot of ambition here with the 3D interaction that couldn't be matched in the development time frame. The game is a bit buggy and I could only find a single bottle so I couldn't progress beyond the first task. The game looks great but it doesn't feel great yet. The buttons and animations are not reactive in the right places. For example, an animation for taking a pill is semi-present but this seems unnecessary. As a player I would probably be happy just to right click on the bottle and hear a good consumption sound without actually needing an animation of picking it up to consume the pills. Alternatively, the lack of animation or noise for the UI buttons feels really bad. I think the game achieves some ambitious things but didn't focus enough on fixing the basics. I do really like the visuals. |
| Apr 8 15:03:56 | 17m 30s | DI(V)E - Beneath the Waves | ♥ 3 | I like the bio-technology aesthetic. I think the currently the art style (while swimming) and specifically the enemy movements would need to be worked on to make this game more of a horror game, though I think the game could be developed more in the exploration direction instead of trying to make the horror more extreme. I think the art style and worldbuilding could together make a cool non-linear map with a similar goal of finding a bio-corp package. |
| Apr 8 15:32:22 | 28m 26s | Deep City | ♥ 2 | I think the vibe of the game is very good. I like the sound and the colours and I think the aesthetic actually has quite a bit of potential in a chill game of this genre. Some of the assets used were unusual, like a hand print on the metal quarry and a graffiti face on the submarine. I found the start of the game hard to figure out. I was instantly dying over and over till I realised I had to very quickly place a farm then a "uranus" quarry. |
| Apr 8 15:37:50 | 5m 28s | EXIT | ♥ 3 | @texugo I was able to get it to work just by extracting the files into the same folder and double clicking exit.html to get it to run in the browser. Though the game seems to just be a single screen where you play as an exit sign symbol endlessly running to the right to find nothing. @paprikaka Please tell me if there is any more to this game than a running loop and I will play it, though it is not listed as something I can actually rate. |
| Apr 8 15:47:13 | 9m 23s | Upstream | ♥ 1 | Cool Heart of Darkness like idea. The sound is really good. Title screen is very good. The game is fun, reactive and tense. The story stuff definitely adds to it. I do feel like the game has a very psychopathic view of history or at least wants to convey the colonial conflicts the story is based on as a very psychopathic, heartless and gameified process. |
| Apr 8 16:08:54 | 21m 41s | I'm 14 and this is deep | ♥ 2 | I got a disguise but didn't know how to continue. I really like the two different soundtracks for when you are in or out of the water. I think the general aesthetic is fun and inspired. I'm quite impressed with the dialogue options to a degree I would consider this game a proper RPG. The physics was sort of buggy, but I don't think it mattered at all and I think its obvious that the time given was used where it actually matter. This game has the most heart I feel I've seen in a game jam project, though I haven't reviewed many game jams before. |
| Apr 8 16:25:17 | 16m 23s | Deepnaut | ♥ 2 | Graphics are good and premise is concise and well delivered. I think the game has a lot to improve on specifically in the audio. There were no problems with the audio, but for the underwater atmosphere to really work there needs to a lot of detailed sound work and considerate decisions in that area of the design. |
| Apr 8 17:09:01 | 43m 44s | CoreBreaker | ♥ 1 | It's like *A Game About Digging a Hole* on Steam but its 2D. |
| Apr 9 10:34:07 | 17h 25m | Amigasa | ♥ 1 | I like the story and I think the atmosphere could be developed into something strong. I find the controls far too tough. Turning is sensitive and is annoying especially when you just closed a menu and it makes you spin. I think a more traditional approach could be better for the turning. |
| Apr 9 10:56:15 | 22m 08s | Lust4Life | ♥ 3 | Very similar world building to our game! |
| Apr 10 11:59:07 | 25h 02m | Drill la Drill | ♥ 2 | Played to the end. Quite fun, though I think the sound design could have had a little more work. |
| Apr 10 12:03:25 | 4m 18s | KILLWARE | ♥ 4 | Cool UI. |
| Apr 10 12:17:58 | 14m 33s | Shroomberg | ♥ 2 | Good work! |
| Apr 10 12:20:22 | 2m 24s | See you at the bottom | ♥ 1 | This is dark... |
| Apr 10 12:48:26 | 28m 04s | abyss | ♥ 2 | Well made. Ending sound gave me a fright. |
| Apr 10 14:51:11 | 2h 02m | Spider Cave Offensive | ♥ 2 | https://www.youtube.com/embed/pAoDgCF-feg?si=BpTGWhsJUc2oPAx7 |
| Apr 10 15:37:48 | 46m 37s | Cartoscoot | ♥ 3 | Holy polish. Impressively concise game where everything has its place. This is a great show of level design. |
| Apr 10 15:43:54 | 6m 06s | Mine Goblin | ♥ 3 | This is pretty fire. |
