Oct 19 21:05:19 Old As Taxes... LD60 ♥ 1 Good little game, pacing does feel a bit slow (cooldown for magic rage too long for its effect, progression is a bit slow), but does have its charm. Game can benefits a lot with a bit more explanation/hints, but understandable knowing the context of the jam. Definitely can be very fun with more time worked on it.
Oct 19 21:39:32 34m 13s TYP-0 ♥ 3 Amazing soundtrack, great visual polish, and a really interesting concept! The game features original gameplay mechanics, although it can be difficult to get the hang of it at first. The energy system can also feel punishing when exploring, especially when you're kinda lost and trying every button to find what you were missing. Overall, a unique and fun experience! Also duck.
Oct 19 22:03:09 23m 37s Punch Card 0 ♥ 2 Great ambiance, visuals, and sound design! There are a few typos, but nothing too major. I was a bit confused by some mechanics at first: after photo was exposed all black, took a long time to figure out that you could hang on photos to develop them. I also struggled to figure out how to use the cassettes and tried to get the signal to 100 before realizing you had to press E to play the tape. The game also feels a little slow-paced, with days being quite long and perhaps too many punch card to handle each day. Overall, while horror games aren't usually my cup of tea, I still found the overall experience pretty enjoyable!
Oct 19 22:33:43 30m 34s Oxidize ♥ 1 Cute graphics and SFX that, while a bit lackluster, get the job done! The controls feel pretty janky for a platformer, though, and the difficulty spikes are quite brutal. Combined with the imprecise controls and near pixel-perfect jumps, the later levels become very hard! I had to skip level 2-1 and sadly couldn't finish 3-2. Still, a cool game with plenty of charm!
Oct 19 22:55:45 22m 02s Rental Breakdown ♥ 3 Cool little game with great graphics and sound design! The gameplay is simple and easy to pick up, but it still requires some skill to avoid getting overwhelmed too quickly. Really enjoyed the overall vibe the game was going for. A fun little experience!
Oct 19 23:13:11 17m 26s Zombie Apocalypse ♥ 1 Cool short game, found out it is easier to just rush for the turrets components to win the game. At first was also having a somewhat hard time with items holding, dropping the sword when going for another item. Maybe if there is a slot available, item picked up goes in this slot?
Oct 19 23:23:25 10m 14s Hold it There ♥ 1 Fun game, definitely has some "getting over it feels" for movement. Graphics and sound are simple but so on point, really nailed the theme! Good job!
Oct 19 23:38:08 14m 43s Quiet Carriage ♥ 1 Love the feels! The artwork is amazing, even if the gameplay itself falls a little short. The controls feel a bit clunky (maybe being able to move around the train by dragging horizontally could make navigation feel more natural?). I also feel like the game might take up a bit too much screen space for something intended to be a desktop companion app. Still, a lovely concept with a great atmosphere!
Oct 20 09:52:06 10h 13m My Rusty Giant ♥ 1 Love the concept! The game feels a bit rough around the edges, especially when it comes to balancing. Some upgrades feel almost useless: what's the point of upgrading or repairing engine speed if we can't even handle the enemies we're already facing? Radar upgrades seem useful for spotting enemies early so you can first strike them, but the upgrade rate is so slow that they barely feel worth investing in. Maybe adding a visual indicator for the tower's range could help! The visuals are otherwise great, and I can definitely see this game becoming something amazing with a bit more time to cook!
Oct 20 10:11:25 19m 19s Ancient Core ♥ 1 Nice concept! The game does feels a bit rough around the edges. For example, I had several instances where the orb disappeared right in front of me while I was trying to reach it, which kinda sucked. Maybe add a visual when orb is about to disappear? Otherwise, it's a simple little game that delivers a fun five-minute experience!
Oct 20 10:32:15 20m 50s OldTech:老当益撞 Gamejam! ♥ 1 这是一款挺有意思的小游戏,不过“假牙”这个武器确实有点太强了,升到满级后基本上大部分关卡都能轻松过关。整体来说,这款游戏还是很有潜力的,如果能再增加一些升级路线就更好了!作为一款 Game Jam 作品,能做到这个程度已经相当不错了! Fun little game, dentures do feel a bit too strong, easily clearing most rooms after upgrading it to the max. It's a very promising game, could help having more upgrades paths. Game is otherwise a good entry for the jam!
Oct 20 10:52:35 20m 20s Water Reel Eef ♥ 2 Managed to win after the second try! The graphics and visual effects are great, but one thing I found a bit annoying is having to place new pipes next to existing ones, which makes planning ahead more difficult. Overall, a nice little game!
Oct 20 11:56:33 1h 03m Long distance radio ruckus ♥ 0 Great art and atmosphere, with some interesting mechanics around the radio commands! The radio dial feels a bit finicky to use at times, but otherwise, the game has a great vibe. I also really appreciated the little bits of storytelling sprinkled throughout the experience. Overall, a lovely game!
Oct 20 12:24:26 27m 53s Echoes of Fermi ♥ 2 Impressive visuals and content, especially considering this was made in just 3 days! The game feels a bit slow to get started, but it's otherwise a great incremental game, with a level of polish that rivals fully released idle games. The old-tech theme for the this game does feel a bit of a stretch, but overall, a really impressive achievement!
Oct 20 12:35:00 10m 34s Agent Punchnikov ♥ 3 Fun little arcade game! The gameplay could benefit from faster punching and more forgiving item pickup detection, especially given its fast-paced nature. Overall, it's a great way to have some quick fun and unwind after jamming for 3 days straight!
Oct 20 12:46:13 11m 13s Floppy Defrag ♥ 1 You lie, can't do level 4, please gib step by step guide. Jokes aside, the game fits the theme pretty well! The puzzle gameplay does feel done and redone tho, but it's still a nice little addition to the game jam. Good job!
Oct 20 12:59:40 13m 27s PAST SHOULD NOT EXIST ♥ 1 Original and fun premise! The game does feel a bit light on content, as if some features were left out due to time constraints. The controls were also a little hard to figure out without checking the description. That said, I can really see this game becoming something great with a bit more development time. Lots of potential!
Oct 20 13:04:24 4m 44s Troll the King ♥ 2 Game crashes as well for me, but looks great already. Will come back whenever its fixed!
Oct 20 13:11:23 6m 59s Out of Sync ♥ 1 The concept is amazing! However, the game falls a bit short visually, and the controls feel somewhat sluggish for a platformer (Character sticks to the sides of platforms when moving towards it) Otherwise, it's a very interesting take on the classic platformer formula, with plenty of potential!
Oct 20 13:20:06 8m 43s RETRO RECOVERY ♥ 1 Fun little puzzle game! The controls aren't really my cup of tea, tho. Maybe alternative keyboard control schemes could be considered? I also encountered situations where squares spawned on their own and got stuck behind holes, which was frustrating since there we don't really have any agency to fix this. Otherwise, a cool game with a fun concept! top.PNG
Oct 20 13:31:57 11m 51s Screen Dasher ♥ 1 Amazing game with original mechanics and an excellent implementation! The only thing that fall flat is that the movement feels a bit janky for a platformer. Adding features like coyote time could make some of the more precise jumps feel smoother and less frustrating. Overall, an amazing game jam entry with a really strong concept and execution!
Oct 20 13:38:34 6m 37s Mom, I'm ONLINE! ♥ 1 It can in fact run Doom
Oct 20 13:56:27 17m 53s PIP OS ♥ 1 A little hard to understand at first, but I managed to figure things out in the end! I really enjoyed the short story and the overall experience. Remember, kids: don't download viruses!
Oct 20 14:16:27 20m 00s Ghost in the Egg ♥ 2 spinning-banana-banana.gif
Oct 20 14:34:33 18m 06s Pigeon Prompt Engineer ♥ 2 Great art, great audio, great vibes, and a thoughtful story. Everything comes together really nicely to create an enjoyable experience. Congrats! dance-pigeon.gif
