Oct 20 04:11:52 Kamchatka ♥ 1 One thing I found a bit inconvenient is checking the temperature in each apartment — or maybe I'm missing something? It seems like the temperature is only displayed when you hover over the round thermometer. Also, for such a relaxing, meditative game, it's a bit unfortunate that switching to another window automatically pauses the game, especially since there's no downloadable Windows version. That said, such a unique and atmospheric idea! I love the Soviet setting, and the lo-fi arrangements of Viktor Tsoi's songs are a really nice touch. Turning the everyday job of a stoker into a game is a clever interpretation of the theme. Great work!
Oct 20 04:37:12 25m 20s Nightcall ♥ 2 Quite educational! I've only ever seen a telephone switchboard like this in the movie *Changeling* with Angelina Jolie. I got confused pretty quickly, though! Operating an old telephone switchboard is a perfect fit for the Old Tech theme. Love the art style, and the optimization is excellent. Great job!
Oct 20 10:09:49 5h 32m Love, Trash & Robots ♥ 1 Your game looks great! I really like the stylish minimalist art style. However, it's not immediately clear what's going on, and I eventually got stuck too. After about an hour of playing, my robo-wife was still unhappy that only one flower was growing, but I couldn't find any new flowers in the trash pile.
Oct 20 10:29:55 20m 06s Old Ship Crane ♥ 1 Wow, this game is brutal! I haven't managed to beat it yet, but I really enjoyed it! Controlling the boat and the crane at the same time is quite a challenge, especially with those whirlpools around. Tough but fun! Great job!
Oct 20 10:44:40 14m 45s Jelly & Bones ♥ 4 Really nice visual style! I loved the atmosphere and the way the little characters wobble around. Puzzle games aren't usually my thing, but I can definitely appreciate the creativity here. The controls took a little getting used to, but overall, it's a charming little game. Great job!
Oct 20 11:22:58 38m 18s The Blacksmith's Story ♥ 2 Really cool concept! I love the hands-on approach to sword crafting — heating the metal, hammering it, cooling it down, and assembling the final weapon. It's a great fit for the Old Tech theme! The atmosphere is nice too. The controls could use a bit of polish. Overall, a very interesting idea with lots of potential.
Oct 20 12:52:47 1h 29m LiNX LiGHTSPEED ♥ 3 The plug-and-socket mechanic is such a cool idea! I really like how it fits into the fast-paced platforming. The movement looks fun and chaotic, and the whole game has a lot of personality. Great job!
Oct 21 10:41:08 21h 48m STORM, RADAR, SLOTS! ♥ 1 Holy crap, this game is INTENSE! I feel like you need superhuman reflexes and at least three hands to survive out there! You're steering a boat through thick fog, constantly scanning for hazards, desperately trying to dodge what feels like a million obstacles — and somehow you're also supposed to find time to play a SLOT MACHINE?! That's absolutely insane, and I love it! I definitely struggled to keep up with everything, but I had a blast trying!
Oct 21 10:56:15 15m 07s Check the Piss ♥ 0 Well, that's definitely a game I never expected to see in my lifetime! Of all the possible interpretations of the Old Tech theme, you somehow managed to find the most disgusting one. Great job! The idea of combining Papers, Please with medieval urine tasting is absolutely hilarious. I especially love how seriously the game treats this absurd profession. A highly skilled specialist, a sophisticated quality control system... Absolutely insane, incredibly creative, and definitely unforgettable!
Oct 21 11:14:40 18m 25s Korobeinik ♥ 0 Great interpretation of the Old Tech theme! I love the idea of running a market stall in old Moscow, weighing goods, calculating prices on an abacus, and trying to keep impatient customers happy. It's a nice mix of historical atmosphere and time-management gameplay!
Oct 21 13:10:50 1h 56m The Animation Morgue ♥ 1 What a lovely little game! I really enjoyed the idea of manipulating animation layers to help the cat find his way. It's such a creative interpretation of the Old Tech theme! The whole experience feels like stepping into an old animated film. Great atmosphere, clever mechanics, and a charming story. Really glad I played this one!
Oct 21 20:46:15 7h 35m Loops 4U ♥ 2 Now that's an interesting take on the Old Tech theme! While everyone else is making games about ancient machines and forgotten technologies, you went ahead and made a game for the Wii! Great work!
Oct 22 10:30:39 13h 44m Let's Make Fire ♥ 0 I love the idea that the oldest technology is fire! That's a really clever interpretation of the theme. The two-hand interaction system is quite unusual and interesting, and I really like the atmosphere of the island. There's also a surprising amount of content for a 72-hour jam! However, I have to admit that I never quite figured out how to actually make a fire. I tried experimenting with different objects, but the process wasn't very intuitive. Thousands of years of human civilization, and here I am, still unable to make fire! Great concept and impressive work overall!
Oct 22 10:42:29 11m 50s The Switchboard Operator ♥ 0 Really nice atmosphere! I love the old-fashioned office setting, the sound design, and the idea of manually connecting phone calls. A great fit for the Old Tech theme! But I have to admit, I got stuck before my first shift even started! I couldn't figure out that I was supposed to drag the time card into the slot to clock in. I kept clicking around, trying to understand what to do. Once I figured it out, the gameplay was quite enjoyable, although the waiting time between calls felt a bit too long. Overall, a really cool concept with a lot of potential.
Oct 22 10:51:02 8m 33s Agent Punchnikov ♥ 1 What a chaotic little game! There's something incredibly satisfying about punching enemies and desperately trying to defend the bunker. I really like the visual style and how you can interact with the environment! I do wish the punches were a bit faster, though. Sometimes I felt like the enemies were having more fun beating me up than I was fighting back! Fast-paced, stressful, and surprisingly fun.
