Am interesting take on a true classic of games. Expanding on it by giving it a narrative twist. I enjoyed the puzzle challenges. The pixel art style fits well with the audio.
Very beautiful game which I loved the art style. Simple game mechanics with touching message. The audio fits the mood. I enjoyed playing on my smartphone which fit well compared to a click and mouse game if done on PC.
I am not a huge fan of text adventure. But cool to experience overall.
Nice pixel game that has a good 8 bit audio. I enjoyed that you can play it on a mobile device. Good puzzle elements.
Love the art in this game. The game design reminds me of a rhythm game meets a multitude of mini games. The task ask is cool and has a time sensitive feel giving users the pressure to do well. I like the game and was beautiful to look at.
Interesting game. I liked the shader used in the game. 3d modeling could be improved. Audio was funny when hitting the crab.
It is a very intriguing puzzle game. well built from the ground up. art style fits well. continue expanding on the game engine.
Very game. I enjoyed game design of balancing the assets is great idea. Especially of the trees and the consequences of it. The audio and arty style creates a good solid mode to the game.
A very interesting take on RTS games. I like the dooms day Attack on Titan scenario. Very cool.
I enjoyed the game. Very challenging and easy addicting. Good work
Art was simple but fit the design with voxel destruction. Audio was repetitive. It could have had SFX when shot or destroyed. I enjoyed the challenge which disabled the use of certain controls. Good job on the game.
It is a very cute game. Love the cover or menu art style. Wish the gameplay art was consistent. Also it was difficult to see the side fences. If the fences in an isometric view then this would not have been an issue. The game had good elements of balancing resources which help engage players to strategies.
Interesting puzzle element game with water rising. Users are press to solve the puzzles before the water reaches to high. Art is good. Could improve on the audio with background music. I enjoyed the game
An interesting infinite runner game. I had difficulty in getting a groove because me hitting so many obstacles. Art style is great especially the character design. Love that the level is auto generated and makes each play through a new experience. I would have like to have background music which could have added depth and mood to the game. Excellent work.
Love the visuals. The art style is great. It relates to be as a person I charge of have my little 1 to go to bed. Awesome game
Like the mood of the game. Game play is simple but works. Click based game are not my thing but it is a beautiful game. Worth check out.
I like the art in the game. This game is interesting because it is like a pinball game but the player are require to make the path and strategize how to make more money to increase the puzzle elements. I like the use of the rag doll system that makes it humorous. good job
Love the art style. The game mechanics are unique. It is a well thought of game. Love the use of the network to help share their artistic taste and ideas.
The graphics is nice very Tron like. They game controls were challenging to get a hang of but got into the game.
It's is a beautiful game. There was another game that I played that had similar constraints as your game in LD. Which was a Mars rover with limited power supply. But your has more complexity and it is a 3D beautiful world. Audio was great and complements with the art style.
The game could have better level transition. I felt that I died right away when playing the game. Could of limited the obstacles. Art could have had animation in the beginning which you had the rabbit curled to fall in the whole. I would not have know it was a rabbit if I did not read the tittle of the game. Audio was OK. Good work on a limited time frame
I could not play the game because my laptop does not support more that 2 keys press at the same time. If I understand the game users have to aware of the other limited resources in their to achieve longer distance. It is an interesting entry.
I had difficulty in getting into the game because of the high bar in the game mechanics. Art is good and voice audio to belittle your skills was humorous.
cool game. I enjoyed the art style and audio which created a good mood, especially the voice acting. Glad there was a good level progression balance to the game. I enjoyed the game.
Art was beautiful with good sound track and audio. It was a polished game.
Like the art style which is 50-60's loony toons or that game Cuphead cartoon style art work.
An interesting take on chest creating a puzzle element.
Simple game mechanics. Making the user wanting to know what I would say. Good voice and audio with tons of humor.
I enjoyed this. It brought back memories of Mario Treaches Typing. I like your artstyle. Wish it was more depth to the gameplay similar to the old Mario. I hope if you expand on it you would utilize the environment making it more of an adventure then a fighting style game.
I like the voxel art in this game. The game mechanics was hard to get custom to but I enjoyed the chaos game design. Good job
An interesting pixel game that relies on limited energy resources. Odd thing was that there was another game that had the same idea you had but in 3d and complex mechanics. Your is simple and easy to get into.
Love the art style and use of rhythm mechanics.
Very cute game which reminded me of the original Kirby game. I like the art style. It is a well built game.
An interesting take on a fighting genre. Love the art which reminds me of Scott Pilgrim comic style.
Like the innovative limit resource gameplay. Definitely reminds me of Enter the Gungeon but with challenging resources awareness.
Definitely a challenging game. The objective is not to kill but to survive. Took a while to figure the game out at 1st. I like the pixel art style.
Is it a beautiful game with interesting innovative game balance usage.
The game seems very narrative in their direction. The mood sets the pace of the game making it mysterious. The audio helped in creating the mood of the game.
interesting game which reminds me of Enter the Gungeon. I like the pixel art and 8 bit audio. Good job
It is a very hilarious game of a cat lover and the horrors of taking care of animals. The game play has a feel of Sim pet. Could have added more elements in which the users has to feed the cats because logically were is these vomits and poop coming from. But a good attempt to creating a Sim style of game in 72hrs.
I enjoyed the challenge of the game. Users switching from guns to melee weapon with strategy involved was clever. Allocating additional ammo from killing off the creatures. As a whole it seems like it would be part of larger game. It seems like a good proof of concept for a boss battle. Good work
I think pinball games are cool but would have like more. the controls had a few frames of lag causing my timing of the bumpers not line right with the ball.
I love that your team flip the narrative gameplay. It is a very innovative and creativity thinking of what we already know of a beloved icon.
Love the puzzle game element. I enjoyed that it was done in 3d versus just using 2d sprites. I like how you connected the theme. Great job
Very interesting game which the player objective is to extend time by killing time. The pixel art style reminds me of an old NES Wild Gunman. I enjoyed the game.
Are is unique which reminds me of an old arcade game "zombies ate my neighbors." Cool throw back
Interesting funny game that reminds me of Hotline Miami or older versions of GTA.
Very hilarious game. A nudist avoiding authority. It has simple game mechanics with 2d sprite art.
I like the tight rope balance of work and play. Took me a while to figure out how to exit the game so I can look productive in front of the boss. I like the art it was simple 2d design. Good job
This pixel game was interesting. I like the 8 bit audio. It is simple in design. I felt that the control was a little sensitive which I could not gage the distance. Good attempt in the game.
The artsytle is good with a simple rythm style game mechanics.
Music was good to make the mood of outer space. I was so focus to following the arrow that the game ended so quickly. By exploring and reading the other planets. It helped me understand the game narrative. Like the simplistic pixel art.
The 2d art is interesting. Soundtrack was soothing. Would like to have utilize the soundtrack changing based on what you choose to pick up. I assume you did this solo. Good job for doing it with limit time constraints.
Cute pixel game. The game reminds of of an old NES Little Nemo: The Dream Master but if played on a Gameboy instead.
Simple looking but with complexity when difficulty level increases. The game play is simple. It is evolved version of Atari Astroid with the objective of staying in the play space. It is clever approach.
Game looked good. The soundtrack gave a good mood of being rushed to find the solution of the error. Glad there was a tutorial part in the game to understand it. Overall a good game
Good game with good art style. The resource collection to help player to survive the cold dark winter. The audio and light created a good mood to the game.
The art style is beautiful and the audio complements each other for a visual novel.
interesting game. I had difficult understanding the controls but figure out later. Art design was simple but fits the style which was 2d sprite animation. Audio with punk or techno feel that gave a good vibe.
cool 2d art style. The design reminds me of Ghost and Goblin with a hint of Castlevania. Well done
Interesting game which reminds me of super dodgeball for the NES but with adventure flare. It would have been cool if there was a consecutive combo that created a super move. Good job. I enjoyed it
It a simple game mechanics that is comical chaotic.
The art style was good. It has funny bits that makes the game interesting.
It is an interesting game. I wish the constrain was not so large. I end up hit the locker because of how large it is. I like the 2d pixel art. The audio was ok. It could have added some SFX when pushing over the lockers. Good job on your attempt of the game.
I like the minimalist pixel art style. It is an interesting emotional game
Interesting take on a classic Atari game Astriod. But earth with a shot gun. I enjoyed the game
Like the game. Like the cartoon style. Easy to get into and increases difficulty gradually with obstacles. Reminds me of old NES T&C Surf game.
cool narrative and emotional game. i like the art style with the loose sketch drawing representing past memories. i like the audio which helps to create to mood in the game. thank you for the experience
Love the art style. It has a blend of humor that keeps you wanting to progress. I was stuck in front of a inquisitor. I assume there is test that the user has to balance because of his fame. I was too good and got caught then burn to death. Overall a good game.
Very cool game with interesting platforming game mechanics especially the time delay. Was challenging to get the hang of it. But once you get into the game it was enjoyable
Cool art style. I like that monochromatic style which is similar to SinCity. Game was a little confusing because of lack description and direction. I was lost because after hiding all the body parts I did not know what else to do in the game. But overall a nice looking which had decent audio the set the mood.
cool looking game. The light and volumetric fog with audio created a good atmospheric mood to the game. The play through was confusing but I just played through to enjoy the art style. Thanks for the experience.
I like the 2d asset management game. I had an issue when distributing the the cash. I noticed 2 location that should not be under the radar at level 3 get shut down preventing me to laundry the money which spiraled me to end the game quicker. Overall it was a good game.
Cool game idea. I like the concept because fire eventually dies out and need to continue to fuel it. Would be cool if there was a timer so you can have something like a leader board. The are being blocky or voxel might be because of lack artist in your team which I assume was done by one person. The lack of music background was a good decision because you only hear is the fire. This cause a good spooky atmosphere that effects the mood. Good job
It is a beautiful game. I like the art and audio which creates the mood. The balancing management game design was an interesting take. Good job on the game.
It was OK. The audio could have been more consistent. the art is a nice 2d sprite game with 8 bit soundtrack. I felt the soundtrack changed to more intense beets were confusing. I was expecting a boss battle but nothing changed. Good job overall
It was a decent game. I would suggest a way to give the player warnings birds coming like showing a shadow so the player know when to avoid. I noticed a bug in the controls which seemed to get stuck in one direction without pushing any buttons. Visuals was good and the focus on the theme was top notch. Good job
It was fun. It was challenging to figure out what to do. The song wasn't to good. I suggest giving a tutorial for the player so they know what to do. But over all it was a good game. Good job with this.
It was fun. It was challenging to get block to block. It took awhile to respawn and the movement was slow. The background song wasn't to good. But it was fun with the timer to switch color, it was hard because the color would switch and you would fall and die. Over all it's a fun game to play. Good job on the game.
I really enjoyed the game. It has interesting puzzle elements. I do like pixel art. It was a beautiful puzzle game.
It's a really good game. It could have some music and a bigger map to see a little better. You don't teleport unless you're not moving that needs improving. But over all it's a fun game to play, the graphics are amazing. Good job on the game!
I enjoyed the game it felt like scrabble or wordle meets Tetris. It fits the theme well. I like the design of the game. What I would suggest is improve background sound
The game was ok. I had some issue with the control sensitivity especially side scroller platform. I end up over jumping areas. Overall the game was ok.
I enjoyed the game. Especially with the buffs every 10s changing which gave the game a challenging experience. I would suggest improving on background music and tightening the controls
I enjoyed the game. I did like the use of the theme which the main character changes from Jock to Nerd which was humorous. Improvements would be the background music and maybe moving the camera closer to the main character. Good work
The game was ok. I was at time curious on how I died because I was not even close to the bolder. I noticed that when I was continue to actively move around. There was not rocks falling in the screen. I would suggest having the character have borders so the user do not go off screen.
I really enjoyed this game. It has that Windwaker visual style which I loved. The controls was interesting which was easy to understand but hard to master. Might want to have UI hints stating you can upgrade your boat. I played it through to the end which was sad and pushes the effect of over fishing. Great game.
Visually its a polished especially for being a small team. I would suggest the controls needs adjusting. I have tendency to over shoot my jumps unless its due to the use of a keyboard. I have not tested it on game controller which I noticed the UI displayed on the left. Good game
It was interesting. It was not as easily understood when I initially played it once. Usually I play the game without reading instructions or finding out control fig. But this one I had to so that I can give it a fair grade. Once I understood the controls I had enjoyed it better. Good play through.
simple visual design. I assume there was a larger expansive game to this angry bird style game. but didnt get a chance to explore it further. Not my style of game but was fun.
Interesting sorting game. I was confused in the UI at the bottom. Were they hits for user when playing the game. I enjoyed playing.
This game is visually appealing. I definitely loved the shaders used . I love the innovative game mechanics. I liked the reverse take on crop fields. It is a well polished game. Great game
A very interest and unique gameplay. Took a while to get hang of it. Like the pixel art and fits well with the theme. Good Job
