Oct 6 10:17:40 Tax Hans! ♥ 1 Pretty fun, I liked throwing objects around and having them rotate and especially Hans' worried face. - When Restarting the objects didn't have any coins in them. - I wasn't able to complete the game always being 2 coins short, and I think I searched all the objects. - It would be cool if coins could drop out of upside down pouches, and if Hans had 2 worried faces, worried you will break something and worried you will take his gold.
Oct 6 10:48:41 31m 01s Far Fetch ♥ 2 Cool game, had fun dashing around collecting the spheres. - The initial mouse sensitivity was very high for me, but got it down to a nicer level - Sometimes when shooting at things far away it was difficult to see when I missed since the crosshair was obstructing vision, maybe the crosshair could be somewhat transparent.

Oct 6 11:09:10 20m 29s Tiles Collector ♥ 0 Cool game, quite complex. I think it would be nice to have a reset button to clear all inputs, as I found myself to almost randomly changing colors when everything was filled in, and also make it easier to distinguish the set tiles (like a darker color)
Oct 6 11:20:37 11m 27s Rastic Rush ♥ 1 It's hard to understand what is going on most of the time, on the boss level other people just formed a line going diagonally from one corner to the opposite one and I felt singled out since he only shot at me.
Oct 6 11:37:16 16m 39s Windows Explorer 2 ♥ 0 Interesting incremental clicker game, maybe it should start with the menu and an explanation what the power ups do (apart from help you collect more). I also only had 2 different backgrounds, with like 4 same icons showing up.
Oct 6 11:51:25 14m 09s Mister H. ♥ 1 Looks cool, doesn't seem to have much gameplay as of now, would be nice to have an indicator of where the character is going (after pressing a button), several times when I clicked inside the house he went outside and not where I expected him to go.
Oct 6 12:07:35 16m 10s Sewernir ♥ 2 Cool game, I like the music and the dialogue. - The introductory dialogue is a little bit long, maybe leave the story out of the first tutorial level for the next level so the player can get into trying out the instructions faster. - A bug, the guy got stuck after being sucked.

Oct 6 12:26:17 18m 42s LD 58: Loot Collector ♥ 1 Interesting game, I liked the balls dropping out of the tube and being able to identify multiple at a time. - I feel it relied to much on randomness and too little on player skill, the only thing was to figure out the optimal path. - The balls had different color, but I feel that didn't indicate what you would get out of them (random color, then random item) Zrzut ekranu 2025-10-06 141934.png
Oct 6 16:04:05 3h 37m Swarm Surge ♥ 1 Very neat game, I loved the art and the music was also nice. - The game was cool, but it was very hard to try and assassinate the leader without first getting rid of his minions, since they would often times stand in front of the leader and rotate towards the player, and it was impossible to outrun them. - It's probably just me, but the guys with the shields got wrecked on my team, and were almost invincible on enemy team. - I was 19/20 and had a few guys, but the enemy had a shield so it was hard to get in and they got a lucky hit through all my minions, it would be cool if you minions jumped in and took the bullet for you 😆 - Maybe there could be some collision between the unit, since often they would clump up together with the enemies when I had no more map to run.
Oct 6 16:11:50 7m 45s 1100 Dots ♥ 2 Interesting experience, it looked cool, though I still don't fully understand how it worked, I think the dots only seemed to turn green on the left of the cursor. I liked it the most when the white ball appeared and started ramping up a cloud, when everything started moving it looked too chaotic and I was just spraying everywhere.
Oct 6 16:21:35 9m 45s Sorting Master ♥ 1 Interesting game, I liked chucking the figures. - The timer started when the screen was black. - I assume the restart button, restarted the level, but I was unable to move. - The "garbage" had labels which weren't helpful, but I managed to correctly match shapes. - There were extra objects around the room and the bombs, which I was unsure what they do. - It would be cool to load up on several items at a time and then chuck them and see them bounce off of each other.
Oct 7 10:20:53 17h 59m The Crossing ♥ 0 Simple yet charming, I liked the ghosts art, though sometimes there were too much shadow and the slower ones were pretty annoying, but it was very satisfying to get by then by a hair's length.
Oct 7 10:45:22 24m 29s Numismatic ♥ 1 Pretty cool concept, I enjoyed collecting the different coins, although I didn't get to win any bids (not enough money) I made some profit.
Oct 7 10:56:12 10m 50s Inspiration collector - I wanna join gamejam ♥ 5 Really good art and nice music, but the writing was a bit hard to understand at times. - After I managed to switch to English the beginning dialogue window had no text (Chinese had text) and several dialogues later also were text. - Sometimes it was hard to get in the right place to interact with NPCs and they didn't always seem to be intractable (at the end I started a dialogue and the day just finished)
Oct 7 11:03:06 6m 54s Applause Collector ♥ 1 Cool game, I like the buffoon art. It was a little weird that the other emotion was evil/fear coming from a jester, not all the evil guys ran away and they got scared for a short period of time, I'm also not sure if there was any indication whether they are scared or not, apart from them moving to get you when not scared.
Oct 7 11:13:28 10m 22s Keychain Clash ♥ 2 Nice game, I liked the keychain art, but some modifiers (rainbow) made it harder to appreciate the original art.
Oct 7 11:29:38 16m 10s ​Treasure Thrower ♥ 1 Very good game, I enjoyed gathering momentum on the items and hurling them at my foes, my only 2 gripes would be the items got stuck between the fast enemies at one point and couldn't deal damage and the enemies varied in art but there were only 2 types normal and fast (swarm of fast or 1 big one) so a little more variety there could be good.
Oct 7 11:42:09 12m 31s Pure soul ♥ 1 Cool game, I like the art and sound effects were fitting. - At the end there were 2 ability slots, in which I could put my only ability at the same time, but only the first one worked. - It would be nice if you were able to select target before pressing start, and if the target switched after the current target died
Oct 7 11:49:57 7m 48s Leely in the Sky... ♥ 0 The game looks good but it is quite difficult, especially when after analyzing a planet I got rotated into game over. Cool concept just needs a bit of refinement.
Oct 7 12:00:09 10m 12s 🩸 Peeping Tom ♥ 0 Interesting concept, I liked the random news showing up and the police investigations, but I think the map had too much areas that were blocked off and similar to each other, I had a hard time figuring out where I am and just wandered around aimlessly most of the time.
Oct 7 15:24:00 3h 23m Squish ! ♥ 1 Cool game, I like the main character and that I could jump on the slimes.
Oct 8 11:24:17 20h 00m Magpie's Kleptomania ♥ 0 Interesting experience, I liked meeting the various characters and options for each location. - The button pressing seemed to make the text box change size, but then the buttons seemed to appear in the exact same space? - The final image seemed to have all possible loot and not only the ones collected, it would be cool to only show the items collected.
Oct 8 11:34:12 9m 55s Cawlector ♥ 1 Cool game, I think the enemies made it much more interesting and would like to see them appear way earlier, probably after the first 2 introductory levels. Sometimes when trying to deposit seeds, the nest would highlight and as I'm waiting and not moving it would go dark and I would have to move closer.
Oct 8 11:43:58 9m 46s Skull Issue ♥ 2 Cool experience, the skelly without legs was tumbling a lot, but once he got his legs ho got moves.
Oct 8 11:55:58 12m 00s Odd projections (Spicy hot chocolate 4) ♥ 1 The art was nice, but unfortunately it was very confusing and I had no clue what was happening, I was getting cards, moving them around the table and pressing the bottom eye which seemed to be the only way to advance as it made one bar go up and another go down.
Oct 8 12:19:23 23m 25s Death Collector ♥ 1 Interesting game, I liked how unlocking new abilities allowed to take shortcuts (not so much with the first one). I felt like the character had a bit too much slidiness and it didn't seem to turn around the sprites center.
Oct 8 13:44:34 1h 25m BulkUp ♥ 3 Great game, love the music the art and the cutscenes. The only things I could point out would be that the easter egg is easy to miss the first time (had to do a second playthrough) and the lack of nay obstacles stopping or at least slowing the player down from munching, munching on people was hilarious.

Oct 8 14:28:42 44m 08s Fluster Fencing ♥ 1 I liked the pretty character designs, and the flirting fencing, however they did get repetitive (since all characters seem to have identical combat) after the second fight, and I fought for land the first time before going for the jewels, and it seems the land and gold don't matter so I'm not sure they should be included.
Oct 8 14:38:55 10m 13s Treasure Goblin ♥ 1 Cool game, I liked moving the boxes and that they could be pushed with players directional movement (not only cardinally away from the player, allowing the player to get unstuck from a wall) - Escape is probably not the best key for web builds as it exits fullscreen, and it seemed to be the only way to close the trophy case. - It seemed that in the menu only arrow keys worked, where anywhere else it was WASD or arrows - The transition was a little slow to start, leaving me wondering if pressing the button worked.
Oct 8 15:38:31 59m 36s Goblin Goopmaxxing ♥ 1 Interesting game, I liked exploring with the ingredients, but the goblin noises were a little bit too much (at the beginning).
Oct 8 15:45:16 6m 45s Madness bar ♥ 3 Neat game, but the movement was a little wonky while trying to maneuver between the stools.
Oct 9 11:34:06 19h 48m Interstellar Collector ♥ 1 Cool game, I think I saw the species sucked to the ship once, which was nice, but then I just collided with the planets to get closer to them since there was no penalty for it and it was hard to get the otherwise, having the abductor activated also seemed to have no negative consequences, so there was no the reason to have it off.
Oct 9 11:43:16 9m 10s 1 of 8,031,810,176 ♥ 1 Cool game, I liked the story with the beard getting longer and an interesting ending. The audio was also nice.
Oct 9 11:59:34 16m 18s Don Trickle the Taxmaster ♥ 3 Cool game, lots of good humor, my main concern is that from what I experience it seemed like you are supposed to buff up the combo and stick to him ignoring damage, since it's more important to raise your combo then to dodge, if you dodge you can lose the combo and you need it to make any kind of money, I liked when he jumped up to do the shotgun blast, but not when he did it multiple times, the only way for him to break my combo since even with double jump I couldn't reach him.
Oct 9 12:15:41 16m 07s Gibberwave ♥ 1 The art is nice, but it was rather difficult for me to read all the options before the time running out, especially the ones that had much more words then the others, but they seemed to get shorter with time, overall it was very confusing when I was getting things right or wrong.
Oct 9 12:26:21 10m 40s Capital Dungeon ♥ 0 It took me a long time to click around and figure out how to get to the fight, but then in the fight there was nothing I could do, and even trying what seemed like lower level enemies, my hp didn't replenish and I didn't level up, so I have no idea what I was supposed to do.
Oct 9 12:46:11 19m 50s The Collector ♥ 2 I liked the cutscenes, the story, the twist and the art were nice, the gaemplay was a little simple, not even being able to squish the slimes 😢
Oct 9 13:02:16 16m 05s Beast Collector ♥ 0 Cool experience, though a little tough to figure out what to do in the beginning and a little too dark for me to see clearly.
Oct 9 20:08:21 7h 06m Crumbs ♥ 2 Cool game, I liked how it escalated with multiple buttons and reversed colors.
Oct 9 20:17:08 8m 47s Gamedud ♥ 1 Cool game, I liked the mini-games and the end was clever.
Oct 9 20:24:30 7m 22s Mamudo ♥ 3 Nice game, I liked the art, but the character seemed to be stuttering when moving and sometimes I could see spaces between tiles.
Oct 9 20:31:12 6m 42s snake-collector ♥ 0 Really cool, when I picked the 3d I had instant regret, it would be so much easier to jut pick them up in 2d 😆
Oct 10 13:34:42 17h 03m Collector's Coast ♥ 1 Cool game, was a bit lost at the beginning, but eventually I figured it out and was intrigued as to what will happen. A little bit hard to see at night.
Oct 10 13:49:40 14m 58s MoruMatrix ♥ 1 Cool effects, the first level definitely felt the hardest and it was quite hard to know what was going on at times. Zrzut ekranu 2025-10-10 154746.png
Oct 10 14:04:59 15m 19s Collect Star Dust ★ 收集星尘 ♥ 1 Really cool game, I liked how the collected objects were represented in the bag and could be ejected, the retry button brought me back to the first level as I didn't have enough time and the amount of resources required got quite high in the 3rd level, I also had to expel some extra rocks from time to time.
Oct 10 14:25:08 20m 09s Cursed Labyrinth ♥ 1 Really cool game, it felt like the money I got only got me to a profit of 1 lockpick at most, It was hard to get back to the portal, I was often lost in the dungeon, maybe some more "landmarks" could help with that.
Oct 12 11:25:58 45h 00m Gemwright ♥ 1 Pretty good game, it was enjoyable to build up my skills and figure out how to get those higher tier gems. - Personally I think the highscore should first be filtered on days completed, and then wealth, otherwise the player is incentivized to grind for money infinity, instead of finishing the game. - I felt the collector requests were a bit too random, I often had gems I wanted to use for upgrade or higher tier gems, but the collector was not purchasing them and had to wait for him to refresh (especially for higher tiers - 4). Maybe having one of the collectors offer always include one of the gems from players inventory?
Oct 12 11:39:13 13m 15s Fume: The PC Gaming Simulator ♥ 1 Pineapple Cool experience, very accurate to the real world one, managed to get 13/16 with 0.10 left over. I agree that being kicked to the main page wasn't the nicest experience.
Oct 12 11:51:06 11m 53s Trash Catchers ♥ 0 Interesting game, pretty cool experience, enjoyed steering both ships at the same time. - At first I thought that increasing the sail speed increased the speed at which the map scrolls, but it turned out to be the actual ship move speed, which I feel wasn't that useful. - I think it would be much better if there were consequences for the line hitting the rocks/reefs. Like both ships taking little damage, or even better both ships being pulled towards that rock.
Oct 12 12:22:41 31m 35s Ionfall ♥ 4 Cool game, the ending was interesting although I'm not sure I fully understand it. It was a bit hard to figure out what to do at the beginning, since I tried to fix the turbines, but it didn't seem to work, maybe a more clear indication of missing resources would help with that.
Oct 12 12:42:43 20m 02s Wasteland Workshop ♥ 0 Cool game, the work, picture and the customers were quite nice. - I'd like the stairs to the roof be more visible/highlighted as I had to run around the corners (like an exit sign, or red emergency lighting). - The polishing could be a little more involved instead of just standing there, like having to take the polishing tool and polish the item areas yourself (even if just like 3 predetermined ones), it got a little boring doing it by just having to wait for a few seconds.
Oct 16 09:27:34 92h 44m Kouko: ♡galgame♡ ♥ 2 Nice story, it was interesting to discover the story and collect this girls emotions. There were a few text errors (like no space between some words) and I would have liked for more text to appear on screen at once then having only a couple of words per click.
Oct 16 10:05:49 38m 15s Goblin Lord's Dream ♥ 2 Cool game, I completed all 3 games (the 3rd one took quite some time) but I didn't see an ending or any new buttons appearing. The second game could be a little clearer on the writing and could last a little longer, like several potions. I liked the third game, if you wanted to make it easier for people you could increase the time between the laser appearing and it shooting, also a slightly smaller hitbox, especially during dashes could make the player feel much more awesome they they actually are.
Oct 16 10:13:38 7m 49s Truth Collector ♥ 1 Interesting game, I liked the characters and their dialogue, at the start I tried to figure out how to play the game, but didn't seem to find much correlations so I just started to click the choices randomly.
Oct 16 10:42:32 28m 54s Claim thy Land ♥ 3 Really cool game, I loved the tactical and strategical aspect of it, the medieval theme and its presentation. One thing I'd like is to be able to see how many decrees I have left, after buying max decree it gets complicated to remember, and I think I started with 5 while the tutorial said I will have 3?
