Oct 7 17:45:32 Grinder^2 Tower ♥ 2 Managed to last 15 minutes! Really cool atmosphere, though it felt a little slow towards the start of the game. The ability to speed up time definitely helped a lot with that though. Good entry!
Oct 7 18:50:23 1h 04m Pigment of your Imagination ♥ 1 I enjoyed it! Collecting the pigments was satisfying though I wasn't sure if I had completed it or not. It might have been useful to have some indication of which pigments we still needed to collect to finish the mural (as I thought I had all the colours available on the mural but the game didn't progress / end.) Still a very calming game and very satisfying!
Oct 7 23:09:41 4h 19m The Headpatting Cat Collector ♥ 1 Super cute little game, I love clicker games and this was definitely my vibe. I don't really have any criticisms, just wanted to say I enjoyed it and thanks for playing our game too!
Oct 7 23:12:11 2m 30s Harvester ♥ 1 Like others have said I'd have really loved to see more of this game, it felt like it could have built up to something bigger if you had more time. I enjoyed the atmosphere and would love to hear what you had in mind for the game if you had more time though.
Oct 7 23:20:42 8m 31s The stamp thief ♥ 2 Really cool concept, great work making some of the most and least valuable stamps look really close. Allowing the player to choose where the letters are in the mailbox is also great since it allowed me to sort them into "definitely not worth taking", "check closer" and "definitely take" piles. All around a really cool game, my only complaint would be that the sound where you place the sound into the box is a little too loud compared to the rest of the audio. Still a really solid entry, nicely done!
Oct 7 23:35:22 14m 40s The Compliance Enforcer ♥ 1 Honestly a really faithful take on a Hotline Miami-like! Sounds like the story would've been great if you had time to finish it. Really enjoyed what I got to play on it, though I will say the red background on the level where you have to kill 20 enemies was a little too harsh for my eyes. Maybe bring it down a bit to avoid eyestrain but otherwise really solid entry. Thanks for playing our game too!
Oct 7 23:52:05 16m 43s A Lifelong Hobby ♥ 1 Had a good time with this, I encountered what I think was a glitch towards the end though. After getting 1000 coins working at the office job I suddenly found myself only able to buy basic packs again and had to start over from lawnmowing. Weirdly, the lawnmowing level had no grass to mow, but I was quickly moved onto fast food and then finally the office job again so it all worked out. I do get the sense I lost some of the experience buy just buying singles rather than the excitement of opening packs after grinding for cash but I really enjoyed the storyline and the way we progressed through life stages. Loved all the card art too, my first card was a simple Blue Shoe, and how quickly my collection grew after that :D Thanks for playing our game, really enjoyed yours too!
Oct 8 00:04:10 12m 05s HUEVO ♥ 2 Very cute graphics and relaxing gameplay, I'd say the only thing I'd say is that it'd be good if the egg priced scaled a bit or there was a way to make eggs more valuable to reach the later upgrades. I'd agree, some kind of auto-seller might have also helped though that might lose some of the charm of running the farm yourself. Either way, had a good time with this, thanks for playing our game as well!
Oct 8 00:38:55 34m 45s The Tithe of Souls ♥ 1 Really cool concept, had some trouble understanding at first but once I got going I was really invested. Unfortunately I used all my souls to buy an upgrade at the first shop and then had no way to defend myself in the next battle though. Really solid entry, great work!
Oct 8 00:53:56 15m 01s Catch a Critter ♥ 1 Really cute game, only just managed to get a score over 100 on one of my runs but I did manage to catch one of the fast moving rare bugs, so I'm content. Great scaling and difficulty curve. Can't really think of any criticisms or places that would need improvement for this one, really fun game. Nicely done!
Oct 8 11:31:45 10h 37m The Collection Machine ♥ 1 Really cool game. I'd have to agree that the shades of blue were very close together and a little difficult to distinguish at times but that kind of added to the challenge of the game. I ended up spending more than I had on food and dying, so my feedback would be to disable the buy buttons for things the player can't afford. Otherwise, really solid game and good gameplay loop. Nicely done!
Oct 12 13:01:33 97h 29m Collector`s Insomnia ♥ 2 Great graphics and mood, loved the environments. I had some trouble with the controls, and in one level I seemed to die when touching the floor beneath the spikes (I believe it was the second level of the final sphere where you probably need to dash to get from one side to the other, but I jumped thinking it would be safe but then got killed by the hitbox of the spikes above.) Still, really cool little platformer. Nicely done!
Oct 12 15:02:52 2h 01m ingest|digest ♥ 0 Really love this game, great mood and aesthetic. Great work!
Oct 12 15:32:18 29m 26s BulkUp ♥ 2 Love how absolutely ridiculous the premise is, short but sweet and fun game. I can't really think of anything I'd critique, it just seems like a good game jam game! Great work on this!
Oct 12 15:50:31 18m 13s Gibberwave ♥ 1 Really cool idea for a game! I definitely had some trouble detecting the correct choices in the final area but once I understood the rules it made sense. Great work on this!
Oct 12 15:55:17 4m 46s A suspicious game ♥ 1 Funny concept for a game, glad to see I'm not the only one who realised you could steal the baby haha. It'd have been cool to see more levels but for a game jam game this is really great! I saw you mentioned a future version in another comment, would be great to see that. Nicely done!
Oct 12 16:00:19 5m 02s A1 MAS Collector ♥ 1 Great aesthetic and pretty cool mood too. Loved how you handled the NPC animations for the opening cutscene.
Oct 12 18:33:35 2h 33m Call Hector ♥ 4 Amazing idea with the codes, what a cool way to make the game multiplayer without having to worry about people being online at the same time to experience it together! It perfectly ties into the core theme around trading too, not to mention the collecting angle. Honestly a really solid entry for the jam, fantastic work all around! :D
Oct 12 18:50:39 17m 04s Keklik ♥ 0 Really sweet little game, enjoyed it a lot. I can't really think of any critique to give just wanted to say I had a good time with it. Thanks!
Oct 12 18:59:58 9m 19s Clawful ♥ 5 Love this so much! There are few game jam games I'd keep installed after I'm done playing them to review them but I could see myself coming back to play this over and over until I have the full collection. Incredible amount of content for such a short time frame, congrats to the team! Hope you get a high ranking for this one.
Oct 12 23:17:51 4h 17m Hatterdashery ♥ 2 Great concept for a collection-based game, had some difficult moments where I tried to decide whether to hold onto my hats or add them to my growing collection back at my home base. Only thing I can think to mention is that when I went to the snowy area to the left of the base it became nearly impossible to see the text for when the next wave was coming. A black border around the text would've helped a lot. Still, overall a fun little game, well done!
