| Oct 6 15:22:16 | SKYHAND | ♥ 1 | Hey, really cool! Nice little game :-) First thing I had to do in my browser was to inspect the embedded HTML element and open it in a new tab because the embedding frame is too small for it :-) Consider putting the embed line (https://files.jam.host/embed/$417581/43009/index.html) in the description as well. I love the programmer art, both graphics and sound effects :-) What framework did you use for this game? I cannot tell from looking at the page source. | |
| Oct 6 15:34:01 | 11m 45s | Chickens Go Home | ♥ 1 | 198 Chickens, yay! :-) What a really cute game! I love the animations and the sounds, very funny! One thing: the game did not load in my browser, so I had to inspect the HTML element and open the link in a new tab. Consider adding the link (https://files.jam.host/embed/$415836/42144/index.html) to the description. The white text at the start is low contrast over the white chickens, maybe put a semi-transparent background around the text :-) You really took the theme literally, collecting the twigs! :-D I liked the booster ramp, nice feature! At the end, I have to admit, I did not collect things in the third level, I right away "got to de chahpper" like Arnie and was quite amused when it started spinning in its entirety :-D Along with the music, this made for a pleasing finale ;-) |
| Oct 6 18:17:53 | 2h 43m | Invasive Spectral Projectiles | ♥ 2 | Really awesome game - and you did that all in 48 hours?! This is insanity! Really great job! I have had a look at your other games, you know what you're doing. Do you do this only as a hobby or do you make games/art professionally as well? The game's graphics, music and sound are so cool! The bottle on the back is such a cool detail. All the enemies, guns and bullets, the sheer mass of content of this game in 48 hours is amazing! How did you pull this off?! :-) One thing I noticed, not only in this game of yours: Z and X might be good for US keyboards, but for me on my German layout they are far apart :-) Really cool bullet hell, I admire you for your efficiency ;-) |
| Oct 6 18:26:16 | 8m 23s | Stamp Collecting on Planet Q | ♥ 2 | This is a really cool and very solid entry! I have yet to clear the sixth or seventh stage, but then I am not all that good at puzzle games :-) I was missing the instructions on screen. At one point I had to look up the controls in the description. You could make them more prominent, e.g. right at the top of the description or better yet in-game. I see that this does not fit the alien race language here, so I would be fine with controls in the description in this case ;-) The tiles are clear, the animation works very well. Not too distracting but still it looks very nice. You get the hang of the hand movement easily. It is tile-based and you know it but it looks smooth. That is a really nice touch. The music is also very nice, gives off good vibes, fits the mood of this puzzle game. The stamp collection thing and the alien theme are very funny. Overall, really well done game, congrats, this is awesome! |
| Oct 7 18:17:18 | 23h 51m | ShroomBound | ♥ 5 | Your rap skills are too funny :-D When I click the credits button in the main menu I have to refresh the page to get back to the main menu :-) Couldn't the old lady stoop over in the other direction? That is a funny gimmick :-) The art is really cool, you got a lot done in 72 hours, impressive! At first it was not very obvious to me why I died, I had to figure out that I needed to let the creatures follow me, then hide until they were gone. But I got the end eventually. Overall a really cool game, great job, good work! |
| Oct 9 04:18:35 | 34h 01m | Bubble&Lasso | ♥ 1 | Awesome game! Really great graphics and attention to detail! Played in on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 9 05:16:52 | 58m 17s | Can you give me a hand gesture? | ♥ 1 | As I said on stream - really great compo game! Awesome idea and great execution :-) https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 9 05:20:13 | 3m 21s | Claim thy Land | ♥ 2 | Awesome game and I still have to beat it! :-D Played it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 10 04:12:02 | 22h 51m | The Tooth Fae | ♥ 1 | Really awesome disgusting game you have there! I have played it on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz It is the first game I play in this VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2587813989 Let me say, this is highly digusting and very awesome :-) One thing: I was not able to get 100%. Is it correct that teeth are totally random, so I am not guaranteed to get ALL the teeth in a single game? |
| Oct 10 04:27:59 | 15m 57s | Photo Tamer | ♥ 2 | Awesome game, played it on stream: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 10 04:47:46 | 19m 47s | Butterfly Gathering | ♥ 3 | Awesome game, played it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 10 05:09:22 | 21m 36s | Rujum Jare | ♥ 1 | Awesome game, really well done! Played it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/schmonutz |
| Oct 10 07:08:34 | 1h 59m | DEEP FROST | ♥ 2 | Wow, the graphics on this one are strong! This is some really good pixel art! I did not manage to beat the game yet. Do the arrows point to the direction of the next arrow? |
| Oct 11 05:06:36 | 21h 58m | Human Collector | ♥ 1 | Really cool game! I bookmarked it during the compo when I saw your progress posts. I remember seeing this right around the same time I saw this very similar game here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/58/skyhand The art style, the screen transitions, the music and sound effects all make this game very enjoyable to play. Two things I have not figured out are 1) what the yellow boxes are for and 2) if it is a good thing to collect cows or if it somehow hurts you. Collecting yellow boxes and cows both make some special sound but they seem not to have any effect as far as I can tell :-) Awesome game, really well executed, thanks! |
| Oct 11 05:27:04 | 20m 28s | lone alien | ♥ 1 | Nice Pico 8 game! One thing: when I lose once, then restart, I will lose right away all the time. You seem not to be clearing the flag there :-) I made 21 Friends :-) Man, this gets pretty unforgiving after level 20 when you cannot reset errors anymore :-) Great concept and execution! The upgrades are cool. At first I did not get what the shrinking is about but when everybody is crowded at the same place shrinking them does help to tell them apart. Very cool that you can still distinguish between everybody. This is a really really cool entry, thanks and keep up the great work! |
| Oct 11 05:57:21 | 30m 17s | Bug Bequest | ♥ 1 | I could not play the unfortunately. When I press E in the browser version, the game seems to lose focus. I guess you do something with the mouse cursor there? So I have to focus the game again at that point. I did manage to pick up a bug, though, but then it seems I have to keep holding down E which does not let me rotate my character anymore, so I cannot drop the bug into the box. So no dice for me here :-) The graphics look very cool, I like the pixel-art-like models and textures! Looks really cool! |
| Oct 11 06:25:06 | 27m 45s | Garbage Collector | ♥ 1 | Hey, I recognize this car model from a tutorial I watched recently :-D |
| Oct 11 19:35:07 | 13h 10m | Head Count | ♥ 2 | Wow, this is an awesome game! And at the end I found out what "Head Count" means :-) Really cool bosses and I love the comic style dialog! One thing I was missing is in-game controls. I had to read up half way through how to use my newly collected powers, also finding out about rolling around like a ball of fur. Putting this up in the title screen would be nice, I don't know how many besides me also just jump right into the games without reading anything ;-) The music and sound effects are really cool, too. Also, let me say, the dialog voice overs are gnarly :-D |
| Oct 15 07:31:45 | 83h 56m | EMBERS WILDFIRE | ♥ 1 | Sometimes text is centered, other times it is not. The text at the end scrolls by way too fast to be able to read it. I played the game twice but still could not read all of the text. The moment I first saw the burning person on the ground really shocked me. Even though it is pixel art, this struck me! The pixel art animation of the person running up the hill in the middle of the game looks just awesome, really well done! The gameplay is good, nice and simple, but at first - without reading the instructions because I accidentally skipped them - I tried to avoid the fires (as you would in real life) and was surprised that I could not get out at the top. Why would you even put an "end" up there when the real end is the last fire to pick up? The same thing is true for the last level where there is an exit at the top and you instinctively think "I'm going to collect all first, then exit up there" but again, the game ends when the last fire is picked up. Close the opening at the top in this case, it is a red herring otherwise :-) I love that you put in a real message here. People dropping cigarette butts is a real problem. I salute you for that. Again, I suggest to really ride that out and have the screens at the end on for at least a couple of seconds, preferably until I as the reader hit SPACE or click with the mouse to continue. Then everybody can read at their own speed, like at the beginning of the game. This game really feels like Conway's Law at play. You are three people and I can easily identify (I think) which parts everybody worked on because they were so different. The animation styles, the pixel art in the middle, the gameplay with the two different kinds of levels. A mixed bag of game elements. They are related by their theme, so I actually don't mind that. It is kind of charming for a Jam game to see what different people have done, but it was so noticable that I wanted to mention it :-) Overall still a great game, even though my review might come of as critical, depending on the mood you are in at the time of reading it. But I really enjoyed this game. Great job and really just a couple of minor things to tweak on the UI side, so no big issues really. Keep up the great work and thanks for this cool game! |
| Oct 19 19:09:09 | 107h 37m | Cardboard Collector | ♥ 2 | Wow, what did I just play? Why don't these cows like me? And why are they made of cardboard? :-) Also, what island were you on? Hammerfest? |
