| Apr 9 16:41:19 | Doodley Descent | ♥ 1 | Neat little game. Difficulty didn't seem to ramp up, so the lack of challenge became boring after a while. A great entry, well done! <3 | |
| Apr 9 16:53:52 | 12m 33s | A Quick Dive | ♥ 0 | What a fun little game! Took me a whole run to realize there are money collectibles I'm supposed to pick up, so had to play again to get a score lol. Loving the retro vibe with the art. Great work! <3 |
| Apr 9 17:17:36 | 23m 44s | Blind Depths | ♥ 2 | Nutty putty cave accident meets Barotrauma. Unique visuals and incredible atmosphere! Gameplay was somewhat monotonous, so might have benefited from some secondary mechanic to mix things up a bit (e.g. currents in some caves pushing you around, something to mess with the sonar, or anything really). I'm also not a huge fan of jumpscares, but I'll give you a pass on this one. A truly exquisite little jam game nonetheless, love it! <3 |
| Apr 9 17:52:44 | 35m 08s | Onkalo | ♥ 6 | Gorgeous visual novel! I encountered a few situations where I had bugged dialogue (some dialogue I had earlier seemed to pop up again later on in places where it didn't make as much sense) and a few cases where the dialogue box stayed blank, but no game-breaking issues whatsoever. Great work nonetheless! <3 |
| Apr 9 18:40:17 | 47m 33s | In the DEPTHS | ♥ 1 | Looks interesting, but wasn't able to get into the game :c The game always freezes on generating world 0% and never seems to progress anywhere from there. |
| Apr 10 10:57:17 | 16h 17m | Umbrage | ♥ 2 | What an impressive entry! A neat little platformer with fun and easy to learn mechanics, but still difficult enough to take a while to beat! Not a huge fan of 1-hit deaths and resetting to start at every death, as that gets frustrating easily. So perhaps some form of checkpoints could have been nice. Might just be a skill issue, though 😄 Great work, one of the best I've played thus far! |
| Apr 10 11:10:29 | 13m 12s | Deep Descent | ♥ 2 | Simple mechanics, easy to learn and quite fun! To me the most glaring thing the game lacks is a difficulty ramp-up, as it felt like I had to intentionally try to lose for the red wave to catch up. A really solid compo entry, great work! <3 |
| Apr 10 11:19:55 | 9m 26s | The Dive | ♥ 1 | Cool little game! Mood was intense enough to keep me hooked during the first act. It was a bit hard to tell where the character was moving at times, as there were nothing acting as a point of reference. The second act was nice, but quite easy to just cheese with the drill/dash attack. A solid entry, great job! <3 |
| Apr 10 11:50:28 | 30m 33s | Into The Abyss | ♥ 1 | Interesting concept, but difficulty was way too hard for me! Micromanaging just a few turrets was already very taxing, leaving very little time to do anything else. Very intense experience. A great game, I liked the strategic building aspects and the economy was interesting. Selling your hard-earned rooms felt a bit weird way to make more money. Aiming the turrets was quite tedious as attempting to micro the aim always required two clicks (one to select the turret and another to actually aim, which was very punishing when making mistakes. A solid entry, good job! <3 |
| Apr 10 12:06:22 | 15m 54s | Turtles All The Way Down | ♥ 0 | Yup, it's a rage platformer. Had to stop playing after a few tries, I can't manage these lol. Well done, a solid simple entry with good execution, great job! <3 |
| Apr 11 13:34:13 | 25h 27m | Hooked | ♥ 1 | Cute and simple little game! The pumping mechanic was fun, although a bit of smashy. Maybe it could require a bit of rhythm for the taps to make it a bit more engaging? Enjoyed the casual experience and the music complemented the mood very well! Great work, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 12 16:28:42 | 26h 54m | St. Harold the Devout | ♥ 1 | Fun and unique little game, nice Getting Over It vibes! The hard reset on first hit was a bit too punishing for me to finish the game. I got quite far and had some ~30mins of fun with the game, until it got too frustrating. Had fun playing it, great work! <3 |
| Apr 12 20:32:30 | 4h 03m | More in depth | ♥ 1 | Creative interpretation of the theme, and an interesting proof-of-concept! I loved Fez and this kind of puzzles remind me of that gem of a game, so waiting with interest to see what kinds of puzzles you can cook up. A solid entry, good work! <3 |
| Apr 12 20:50:59 | 18m 29s | Mirror City | ♥ 1 | A great puzzle game! Got stuck on the second puzzle for a good while, due to misunderstanding the placement rules at first, but once I got past that, it was a really fun little puzzle game. Great work! <3 |
| Apr 12 21:04:08 | 13m 09s | Project: Coreline | ♥ 1 | Cool city builder! A difficult genre for a jam game, but solid execution and easy-to-understand mechanics. The hex grid with fixed number of sites in each hex was an interesting idea. Difficulty was a bit on the easy side, as past certain point, the production quickly steamrolled to victory, but a fun experience nonetheless! Some form of significant difficulty increment from advancing the drill stages could have spiced things up a bit, there is only so much one can get done in the time limit. A great jam game, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 12 21:23:18 | 19m 10s | HOLE | ♥ 1 | Fun and simple, a great jam game! Loved how chaotic the physics feels, the gravity/acceleration is just perfect. The difficulty ramp up was slightly slow and could maybe have been slightly more gradual (felt like the eventual "oh shit this got difficult" moment was a bit too sudden for me, but that's more matter of taste than an actual issue). The chosen music complements the overall feel very fell. Great work, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 12 21:39:41 | 16m 23s | Escape Into the Darkness | ♥ 1 | A solid entry, quite hard but that's fine for a jam game! Great visuals and nice eerie atmosphere. The batteries were slightly annoyingly hard to pick up, maybe the pickup radius could have been slightly bigger. Great work, enjoyed it! <3 |
| Apr 12 22:11:52 | 32m 11s | Low Maintenance | ♥ 3 | That was great, played the full game and got most of the secrets! Very solid retro-ish fps. The garage was great until I got lost and being terrified of the open space turned to frustration, but that's was for just a moment. Nice writing and pacing. Change in visuals from the intro to the gameplay was quite sudden, which hurt the visual cohesion a bit, but that's just a small gripe. Intro was great nonetheless. Good work, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 16 20:24:32 | 94h 12m | The Trench | ♥ 1 | What a fun little educational experience! Visuals were superb, loved the lighting effects and the sonar. The cute little bubbles from the propeller were a nice touch. As others have mentioned, there wasn't much to do gameplay-wise, but I kind of liked it as-is; as a sort of interactive educational experience. Impressive solo compo entry, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 22 13:33:46 | 137h 09m | Splorer | ♥ 0 | Cool idea! Game was a bit slow and somewhat tedious, but liked the concept! Managed to win the game, although it was a bit of a grind to get there. Nice work! |
| Apr 22 13:50:28 | 16m 42s | Pit | ♥ 0 | That was fun! Still a bit confused on if there was some target I needed to reach to get to the next floor, but just going for maximum score was interesting enough to keep me hooked until the end. Loved the art style and writing. The overall mood was on-point. Audio was **very** loud, had to turn it down to ~2% to get it to comfortable levels. Great work, loved it! <3 |
| Apr 22 14:01:04 | 10m 36s | Fish.Net | ♥ 2 | Cute little fishing game! Resolution was a bit wacky and I had to resize the window to get graphics to behave. Nice chill mood, had some fun for a while with it. Great work! <3 |
