| Apr 8 16:15:34 | Through the Brush | ♥ 2 | First off, this is a really cool entry you guys got there, so congrats! After playing it, I would say the character controls are a bit sudden and snappy, it took me a moment to get used to how it behaves. But I really liked the paper-like flipping when he changes directions, it suits the art style well. Also he will stuck into trees or obstacles if I make him jump into them, but this might be a minor collider issue so it wouldn't affect much. About the layer switching mechanic, I think this is the first time I've seen a game using this to blend between 2D and 3D looks, so the innovation and creative is off-the-chart for me! Lastly, the zoom out feature was nice but it made the framerate drop substantially, even with a decently fast internet connection like myself still suffered the stuttering during transitions. So I think on lower-end devices or users with slow internet connection, it would cause freezing or even crashing. But overall, this is a solid entry from your team and I appreciate the effort as well as time y'all poured into this, well done! | |
| Apr 9 16:01:25 | 23h 45m | . | ♥ 0 | This is a really really solid entry, and it was made by only 1 person, within 48 hours? You've blown my mind, man, congrats! I liked the concept of this, although I barely know how to play cards irl, but you made the core mechanics so easy to understand, even with me, so kudos for that! You said this merely a prototype showcasing how the original idea in you head would have looked like, but there are a lot of stuff in this already, so I can't wait to check out the final version in the future! The only issue I noticed is just some typos and formatting problems in some of the texts on the UI, but overall, this is definitely a top contender for the trophies this time, astounding job! |
| Apr 9 17:07:06 | 1h 05m | Align The Sea | ♥ 3 | I liked the cover art and intro cutscene. The core mechanics is clear but it would be nice to have a tutorial or just an on-screen instruction to show how things work. Also, the mix between 2 different art styles was a bit inconsistent in my opinion. But overall, anyone's good at certain things in life, so keep up the good work! |
| Apr 10 15:16:54 | 22h 09m | Echo-Of-Fallens | ♥ 2 | Outstanding visual style and atmosphere, amazing job! The eerie music and sound effects really add up to the dark, unease, and creepy feeling. I loved how there was no main menu or anything, just a single title scene to tell the overall context, which reminds me of games like Limbo or Inside. I tried to go around the map after taking all 3 scrolls, expected it to have anything more to collect or just to see if it would end, by it seemed to be endless, and it took me a while to get back to the first room because I was at a coordinate of like 50-60-ish haha! There's nothing to say bad about this game, even if it does I think it would be that the game doesn't support WASD movement input. But regardless, this is a solid entry for the mood category, hope to see it got a decent placement, as it already takes 1st place in my own result! |
| Apr 11 11:55:43 | 20h 38m | The Chromatic Window | ♥ 3 | This is not a game, it's a movie, or more precisely, it's an interactive playback of one's memories. I can't believe I just sat there for half an hour listening to 3 random strangers talking about their life, their struggles, their "memories". As a fellow game developer who self-taught himself over the year, trying to get better everyday, I relate so much about this. I liked how you guys interpreted the theme as the depth of emotional, the depth of one's memories. It really adds the uniqueness and difference. At first I was surprised about the size of the download, but then I realized you guys put all your previous jam entries into it to make a "credits" to stroll through each of them as you talked about how it was done. That is very clever and cool in my opinion. But overall, this entry might not be the best in most people's eyes, but for those who enjoy listening to deep stories being narrated thoroughly, like me, it's just good y'know, in its own way. Well done to all 3 of you! |
| Apr 11 15:04:04 | 3h 08m | Spider Cave Offensive | ♥ 2 | One of the few PICO-8 entries out there, and I love PICO-8 games, as they remind me of the bygone era of 8-bit visual. The art style is very good, especially the spider animation, the way you animate its legs was really clever, it was not so overly complex but still captured the spider-like movement, super cool! I was a bit confuse with the controls at first but eventually got used to it, and thanks to gods that I could hold the arrow keys to keep mining forwards, lol. But there's one thing that bothered me was the mining sound, it felt nice at the beginning but then it became slightly annoying because it got repeated so many times. I think if you toned down its volume or just played it less frequently, it would definitely improve the overall experience on extended play. But other than that nit-picking thing of mine, this is a really great entry, I bet it already wins the heart of those PICO-8 suckers out there, well done! |
| Apr 11 16:43:54 | 1h 39m | A Final Deed | ♥ 1 | I loved the visual, and the way you interpreted the theme as emotional/mental depths was really clever. The music is also great, it's not getting boring or annoying on extended play, but rather calm and peaceful in some way, so nicely done there. The core mechanic is really innovative too, different elements were corporate appropriately, not making it too repetitive but also keeping the player engaged. And the leaderboard is just a finishing touch to it, really adds up to the replay-ability. One thing I noticed is the text concluding player's results after each session was a bit hard to see because it was blue color on top of a blue background during level transitions. But that is just a minor issue so it wouldn't affect much. Overall, this is a rock solid entry! And as others have said it does in fact retain special for anyone playing it, amazing job! |
| Apr 16 06:06:17 | 109h 22m | Hooky Fish | ♥ 1 | This was a simple idea, but you guys managed to add a lot of elements to expand on it. From the shop, upgrades, collectibles, etc, which really added up to the fun and addicting factors. Well done! |
