Danger Castle by bwalter 2020-10-10T09:52:41Z ♥ 1

Really like roguelikes and this was fun! The way the UI has the game window, controls, inventory etc looks really polished, like a control panel. I agree with the other commenters that keyboard controls would be great, maybe move using WASD or arrows, and if there is an enemy in the way, attack instead? Had fun :)

SUNSTYX by Jasper Hansen 2020-10-07T21:12:27Z ♥ 1

A bit confusing at first, I wasn't sure how the stabilisation mechanic was supposed to work. The graphics, colour scheme and music all make for a really nice atmosphere. A nice rounded polished game :)

CUB by Loig 2020-10-07T21:02:33Z ♥ 1

Really nice and polished implementation of this mechanic. Seen a few others and yours seems to have the best level design, simple but challenging at the same time. Always a fan of clean pixel art and 8 bit noises too!

Dungeon Simulator by Yeti Kid 2020-10-07T20:42:58Z ♥ 1

Really nice aesthetic, and the concept is great. Turned it fullscreen so that the up and down keys weren't scrolling the browser :) The only thing I didn't like was the mouse being tied to the camera, made it a little tricky to place items. A deadzone would have been good, but thats only if I'm being picky! :)

The Good, The Bad and The Fluffy by shide 2020-10-07T20:31:37Z ♥ 2

Great game, took some thinking through and I enjoyed it. Graphics and gameplay are fantastic for something produced in 3 days!

Dwarven Delve by fronwewq 2020-10-07T19:59:22Z ♥ 1

The pixel aesthetics work really nice for a match-3 like this, and the loop is a nice additional mechanic :)

Ribbon by 100th_Coin 2020-10-07T19:47:32Z ♥ 2

Beautiful game design. Took me a while to work out what to do, but very imaginative!

Quivering by SandPile 2020-10-07T19:39:00Z ♥ 1

Shot myself so. many. times! :)

maximum loopage by arseneauol1 2020-10-07T19:27:50Z ♥ 1

Shame noone else was online! Felt like Mad Max. I think it would have been a bit easier to plau if the controls were a little bit less sensitive and if the camera was either fixed or zoomed out more like @mnursey said. Impressive to make a multiplayer game in the short time :)

Minute Sniper by Danga 2020-10-07T19:22:07Z ♥ 0

Good idea, but I was a little bit confused about who to kill - I thought i found the person who delivered the (no spoiler) but I didn't save Mr White? I had fun anyway, good idea with the theme!

Looping Robot by zilulu 2020-10-06T22:22:58Z ♥ 1

Nice game, would be good if you could look around the map before playing and as @diego-escalante said, to be able to edit your code or move the commands around rather than starting from scratch if you get it wrong. Good fun :)

Bee, leave it or knot by Hanra 2020-10-06T22:14:58Z ♥ 1

Tried a few times but the 60 bees is a bit tricky to get past the first level! Liked the idea though :)

Bind Off by dumplingsquid 2020-10-06T21:54:43Z ♥ 1

The poetry and design was lovely. Some of the mistakes were hard to find, I think if they had been a little bit easier the flow would between sections would have been smoother, but thats just being picky :) I really enjoyed it

This House Looks Familiar by CesarGary_ 2020-10-06T21:29:31Z ♥ 1

Great progression, the changes each time were different which kept it fresh. The subtle music changes and darkness changing slowly sinks you into an unnerving feeling. Reminded me a bit of Tranquility Lane from Fallout 3 at the start. Engaging :)

Roll your Dough by ancient-pixel 2020-10-06T20:42:57Z ♥ 1

Felt a little bit like Papers Please, with the dystopian text and bills/paycheck! I think I got a glitch where dough was being thrown onto my breakfast table! I enjoyed the controls with the mouse controlling the hand :)

OROBOROS by ArBe 2020-10-06T20:23:34Z ♥ 1

Pretty challenging! I agree with @coderaurus , the sound and pixel graphics make for a really nice mood. (Also I like the name you have used for the link to your github repo, I feel the same about my code 😂 )

Super Platypus Drifter by ricargoes 2020-10-06T20:14:03Z ♥ 3

The voices and story text are funny, and the music and graphics make for a really nice experience. The artwork could have been a bit more cohesive (all pixel art or non-pixel art) but I really enjoyed it

Are We There Yet? by JudgeZedd 2020-10-06T16:33:14Z ♥ 1

Great humour, felt like being a kid on a road trip again haha. Not much money left for the arcades with £2800 repairs!

Candyfactory by Rakowu 2020-10-06T16:26:24Z ♥ 1

I found the controls quite tricky but I think that was by design. It felt frantic in a good way

The Power Loop by maxflav 2020-10-06T16:06:01Z ♥ 1

I like the art and the puzzles ramped up in difficulty nicely!

Stuck In A Loop by davidcmcdonald 2020-10-06T15:53:46Z ♥ 1

I like the concept, and you have turned something that affected you into something creative which is great :)

Free Hamster by Hozoku 2020-10-05T21:26:23Z ♥ 1

Just a heads up, there are 2 Free Hamster.exe files at different depths in the extracted directory. Only the one deepest inside works, the other throws an error :) Little tricky to control with the keyboard, might just be me though! The environment and graphics are fantastic for such a short development time!

loops by irwatts 2020-10-05T19:46:37Z ♥ 1

Impressive graphics and surrealism! I like how minimal it is

Portal fall by astlock 2020-10-05T19:44:07Z ♥ 0

I agree with the other commenter, the speed is really fast, with pretty much no time to react to the obstacles unfortunately

Hamster Simulator by Alfadas 2020-10-05T19:41:33Z ♥ 1

The hamster models are so simple but adorable, and I really like the motivational/kind message when you collapse

Race Condition by pekuja 2020-10-05T19:30:07Z ♥ 1

Haha after >50 laps its absolute chaos. All these stupid drivers!

LoopHole by PixelMoose Studio 2020-10-05T08:42:42Z ♥ 2

Nice art and game idea! The difficulty increase on each loop keeps it fresh, and the idea to pick up spent shotgun shells as ammo on the next loop is great

The Same Odyssey in Space by pedrohph 2020-10-05T07:53:50Z ♥ 2

Took me a few attempts to get close to the end, but I couldn't work out how to check the pods? I like the little book with tips, and the hand drawing is charming. I also couldn't quit the game once back at the main menu.

Looper by jk5000 2020-10-05T07:34:16Z ♥ 2

Nice simple visuals. Would be nice if the parameters could be labelled, at least by the user. Would make it slightly easier but would allow progress to later levels where keeping track of the parameter function is tricky!

Oscillator Panic by tjm 2020-10-05T07:12:02Z ♥ 3

Like the art and aesthetic. Nice gameplay loop of seeming too hard, working out the enemy pattern, progressing, then being introduced to new enemies/gameplay features like the angled walls. The undo and reset buttons are a good idea and stop it becoming frustrating.

Collateral Damage by Michael Parrish 2020-10-05T06:56:07Z ♥ 1

Very hard, but if you fail it is over pretty quickly so easy to jump back into another game. The pixel art is really clean. Would have been nice if the difficulty was easier to begin with and got harder (Earth could take more hits or enemies were slower?), just so that you can get used to aiming.

Prison of the Dream Weaver by candlesan 2020-10-05T06:51:31Z ♥ 1

Liked the concept, nice loop and feels good when you manage to get some decent upgrades before the next round! Nice artwork too. Always fun when there's a high score table!
