| Oct 10 02:38:22 | Collecting Dust | ♥ 1 | I LOL'd many times at this one. 🤣 Such a great take on the theme! 😄 At first I was doing the wrong thing.. thinking i needed to literally collect dust. haha. So I was running around trying to collect the dust particles like it was an idle clicker. And the roombas were my upgrades. And couldn't figure out why I was not advancing. 🤦 😬 😆 I was like, damn, I need to collect a LOT of dust I guess. Here i was thinking I was trying to clean... but I need to in fact make it dirty. Those roomba cats were so dang cute and made me laugh everytime! 😻 But also caused me to rage quit. LOL. Great little game and fantastic art! Nice job! My main point of feedback might be the font color? The grey was pretty light and I had a hard time reading some of the prompts. 😬 But that is a super nitpick. Oh, and maybe the sequel, you play the roomate and clean up the dust? 🤣 Nice work! | |
| Oct 10 02:57:18 | 18m 56s | The Collector | ♥ 1 | WOW!! I'm legit impressed you pulled this off in one day. 😱 Similar thing happened for me where I had so much going on that weekend, I decided I couldn't participate, but then when the theme dropped, I had a little idea I just HAD to try out even if I didn't finish. And only had Monday to do it. 😭 But dang!!! You completed an entire game!! It's funny how your idea is related in that I thought it would an interesting idea and choice for the player to try and collect things, and either deposit it, or use it as ammo. 😄 This was so satisfying. I'll admit, I played so many rounds in a row, I had to take a break eventually because my fingers started to hurt. 👀 😅 It's a very addicting loop. Especially with the upgrades. (Was definitely a "ok, one more round." then kept going for 10 more type of experience). 😝 Loved the art, sound, game mechanics, loop and everything... ❤️ The only thing that didn't quite suit my tastes might be the pace of enemies? It felt like you only got a tiny window of a few seconds at the start to 'collect'. Something about the collecting was really fun in itself. And once the enemies spawned, they came so hot and heavy.... it became stressful SO fast, with no breathing room. Even when I cleared them successfully. I wished I had more 'moments' to just collect if I managed to clear some enemies. I know that is more nuancy tuning... but I think I would've dialed down the enemies just a tad, and made things cost a bit more? idk. That is very subjective. The enemies made it crazy stressful, that's all I'll say. I loved what they added, but their spawn rate was so aggressive. 😆 Overall, this has been one of my favs. Loved this little gem of a game this jam. 🙌 |
| Oct 10 15:19:07 | 12h 21m | Outward | ♥ 1 | SO GOOD! I love the chill experience, the art, sound, UI and everything is so cohesive and appealing. ☺️ The sound and music add SO much imo. Some really nice polish on the upgrade pop-up. The way it rewards you when you complete your tasks. The zoom and moving around all feels nice, and I like how you gradually reveal the map. I love these resource gathering games.. and this one has a great vibe! with lots of potential to add more 😄 This is such a great entry!! |
| Oct 12 15:41:19 | 48h 22m | Raccoon Captain: Cosmic Feast | ♥ 1 | So cute!! Love the crazy creature design! 😮 😍 I couldn't quite figure out how to put on my mask, but I did eat a lot of food! 😂 Kind of wish the movement wasn't as grid locked... (like I couldn't press up and left at the same time) but it didn't hurt the experience too much. For a first gamejam entry, this is crazy impressive! |
| Oct 12 16:20:12 | 38m 53s | Out of Chalk | ♥ 1 | The atmosphere, art, color palette, audio and mood are all sooooo good!! Wow. So much polish to the movement and everything. The puzzles are really well done. The difficult ramps dramatically though 😬 😅 I was able to finally do it, but had such trouble with the 3rd one I think? Then gave up on the next. 😬 The puzzles might be TOO good. My brain is tired now. |
| Oct 12 16:34:02 | 13m 50s | Bug Bequest | ♥ 1 | The controls were a bit tricky going from aiming to mouse controls... and the aiming was kind of sensitive, I struggled a bit. Couldn't figure out how to get the bugs in the box. But the environment and cute art!!!! So good. Loved the overall idea. |
| Oct 12 16:57:24 | 23m 22s | Super Sucker | ♥ 2 | WOW. This is so cool! I love the look and feel. I played with a controller and it felt so nice. Such classic vibes. My sucker really sucked at first. 😂 🤣 Such an interesting take on a puzzle game... sort of more open, but solving puzzles around the map to get upgrades. I read this part AFTER I played: ""Every run is different! You’ll spawn randomly, and the upgrades are also randomized "" <----- WHAT???? This is random generated. Holy crap. 😮 I can't believe how much you crammed into a weekend jam. This was insanely IMPRESSIVE! 😱 🔥 🙌 Fantastic job. |
| Oct 12 17:22:00 | 24m 36s | Star Collector | ♥ 0 | 3 hours??? Well damn. Bravo. 👏 So simple, so effective and a lot of fun. Really impressive. Geez. Nice job. |
| Oct 12 22:01:51 | 4h 39m | Crown Crow | ♥ 3 | Wow! Such a great concept!!! Loved it!! The flying animation and all the art is just GORGEOUS! 😍 Kind of wish the walk speed was a little faster, but maybe it was on purpose to encourage you to fly? But holy crap that golden crow... geez. So hard. Might've been nice to have a return to home button? I didn't like that I had to die to return stuff and then it felt like I lost an item. Overall, even if a bit on the hard side... SO well done!! 🙌 |
| Oct 13 00:05:20 | 2h 03m | Happy Cleaning Co. | ♥ 4 | "Slime is my only joy in life." The voice acting is top notch!!! Such amazing characters. 😂 This is SO INCREDIBLE!!! One of my top entries so far. 🙌 🔥 The art, the audio, voice acting and mechanics are all so crazy good. I can't believe how many levels you managed to create as well. 😮 I loved the toy-like quality of sucking objects up and blowing them back out. I had so much fun playing around with that. Also.... what in the Ninja Turtles??? An underwater level?? 🐢 😄 Loved how you had to use your reverse vacuum here. Top entry. 11/10. Would clean trash again. |
| Oct 13 00:12:24 | 7m 04s | Wizard of toilets | ♥ 1 | As usual... HARD AF. 😱 🔥 🔥 But Oh soooo good. 😄 😭 💓 I said "shit!!!!" and slammed the R key more times than I'd like to admit. |
| Oct 13 21:10:26 | 20h 58m | Energy Rush | ♥ 1 | The masterminds artwork of the team above is absolutely FANTASTIC!! 😄 I was really looking forward to trying this one.. but my machine is too old apparently. 😭 |
| Oct 14 18:43:40 | 21h 33m | Garbage collector's minion | ♥ 1 | I think I'm too dumb for this game. 😬 😂 I managed to get through a few levels, but I didn't actually understand what I was doing. lol Watching you build the code for this was crazy impressive though. 🙌 And I loved how snappy and streamlined it all felt. |
| Oct 14 22:15:36 | 3h 31m | The Witch Chef | ♥ 1 | This was AWESOME!!! One of my favs of the jam. 🙌 😍 The art, audio and vibe are absolutely INCREDIBLE! I loved the explorative nature and discovery of trying out diff ingredients. Over time, after I unlocked most of the recipes... it started to get frustrating as I really wanted to make them all and kept failing and getting the Unknown over and over. I thought maybe the order mattered? But I don't think it does. I eventually gave up, but it left me frustrated as I only had 3 left! 😬 😅 😢 I also noticed the full screen option looked the coolest, but cropped the screen quite a bit on the sides for me. So it made me think I was missing something. I couldn't figure out the soups for some reason. 😞 This was so awesome though. I loved the tactile nature of stuff. And brushing by diff objects and how they would react. Made it super fun to interact with. I could see this expanded into a larger experience with ingredients you could quire or buy. I'm genuinely impressed by the amount of amazing art created in just one weekend. 😮 |
| Oct 15 19:04:51 | 20h 49m | THINGS I KEEP | ♥ 2 | WOW!!! So incredibly beautiful!! The art is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! 😱 😍 ❤️ 😭 I am blown away by how much incredible art you were able to make in that time! Super cute and appealing. Such a heartfelt story too... got me choked up. 😢 The art and audio just creates such an incredible vibe and mood. The monster was scary af. 👀 Gameplay wise... it felt slightly flat to me. But tbh, building any kind of adventure game puzzle in this amount of time is an impressive feat. One other nitpick... I wish I could've had a player initiated prompt to further the story panels. I felt rushed trying to read and take in the art, and then the screen would automatically change. Would've been nice to have more time to soak on the beautiful scenes and artwork. Overall, really great job. |
| Oct 17 19:24:09 | 48h 19m | GEE | ♥ 1 | Brought me back to bus rides! 🚌 😄 Love the nod to those classics. The tactile buttons are so cool. (i loved hitting reset for that reason). I love how minimal the frames are etc. Feels very authentic. But I also had a really hard time reading when an egg would drop. It almost needed a frame of it actually dropping before the splat? I could never get the timing right. I think that may have helped give some 'last min' saves that would feel rewarding. This game is CRAZY hard atm. 😅 |
