Absolute ton of fun, really engaging, lovely complementary audio, really enjoyed it!

Cubic Cathedral by frosty 2023-10-03T18:43:03Z

It's so simple and yet possibly the most fun I've had so far. It's a real testament to the truth that something doesn't have to be complicated to be fun. I've had a frankly unreasonable amount of enjoyment out of this super simple concept done really well. Amazing work, I may end up sinking too much time into this lol. (score was 78 :sunglasses: )

Cubic Cathedral by frosty 2023-10-08T21:35:52Z

I keep playing this, this is the only submission I've bookmarked so I can play it more. If that isn't a testament to my enjoyment I don't know what is! Really good fun (I'm up to 92 now :grin:)

EDIT: Reached 101 now!

Too Many Towers! by rekate 2023-10-07T00:26:36Z

I love this! Pacing is really good, excellent concept that's well executed, I like how it's a really cohesive experience and feels like something I could genuinely waste half an hour enjoying! My only minor things I'd like to see, more just to elevate the experience rather than any bugs (I actually didn't find any bugs so awesome job there) would be to slightly randomize the pitches when collecting the scraps and to have some simple background music, even just something ambient. I loved this entry though, really solid game

Genuinely had a blast (pun absolutely intended) playing this! I love what you did with the theme, I've always loved that RE4 inventory management style of packing stuff in. One of my favourite submissions so far :)

Edit: Oh man that difficulty curve from level 1 to level 2 I just got demolished lol. Tons of fun, love it <3

Outland Escape by Spike Studio 2023-10-02T23:28:39Z

I love this, this has been one of my favourites to play so far. Amazing work, it feels polished too!

Capurrcino - Your Own Cat Café [v1.2] by Aetherswitch 2023-10-03T23:00:37Z

Thank you all so much for your feedback! I've added a cat placement guide now @netarion as well as a restart button :) I'm hoping to add a slightly better system for scoring as well to encourage people to complete customers back-to-back and in the same turn

Capurrcino - Your Own Cat Café [v1.2] by Aetherswitch 2023-10-04T18:32:58Z

@tomrijnbeek that's a really, really good point and its something I identified in my playtesting. I'm planning on figuring out a solution to this, I'm thinking a simple check to see if there's a customer present and, if not, force one to spawn. I'm also planning on revamping the scoring system too so I think those'll both be in v1.2 :) Thanks so much for your feedback!

Capurrcino - Your Own Cat Café [v1.2] by Aetherswitch 2023-10-04T23:23:26Z

@super8bitrafa ahh that's a holdover from the previous iteration where there was no guideline (or should that be guide**cat**?) showing the next piece to drop. It was never intended that the player could see two cats into the future but I could definitely add that. I think the way it would change the strategy would be really cool actually! Would require quite a bit of code changing but I may give it a go! :) I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!

Capurrcino - Your Own Cat Café [v1.2] by Aetherswitch 2023-10-07T14:18:20Z

@silkworm-sweatshop there is sound! It's just that Unity starts it muted by default on their site. One bug to note (that I don't think as I can fix as it's to do with how Unity host games) is that you have to mute and unmute the background music after unmuting the game player (bottom right for game player, top left for background music). Hopefully you can get the audio working :)

Diminutive Dungeon Draft! by Maste 2023-10-03T13:47:57Z

Good fun! Was a tad confused at first but quickly picked it up. One bug/exploit I found is that, since some tiles at the bottom give mana and clicking a tile refreshes the one that was in that slot with a new one but doesn't charge you until you've placed the tile you can cycle through tiles until you get a tile that gives you mana. Still, I had far more fun than I expected, I like the retro art style too and it's a very unique entry! :)

Box of Squingus by leckert 2023-10-19T17:51:01Z

Really, really good! Very innovative, I love how you've used the theme. It's simple yet polished, not found any bugs. There's a lot of controls to remember but I feel that's where the challenge comes from and I like that. Overall I really like it, awesome work!

Circular Nest by ShidyGames 2023-10-03T18:18:03Z

I wasn't prepared for the sound effects, my sides have left me, that's phenomenal. Solid gameplay loop too, nice graphics, simple, clean, fun. Really good submission :)

Lost on Island by zaykin_timofey 2023-10-03T13:56:27Z

Really unique! Love the way you used the theme! Only complaint would be that picking up objects feels frustrating at times. It wouldn't be such a big issue if I wasn't on a timer! Really cool submission otherwise :)

The Shroud by Etienne Robert 2023-10-04T13:44:53Z

Audio is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous, rich timbres that are a joy to listen to! I found the controls a bit tough to get along with and didn't get very far but I reckon that's more a skill issue from me rather than an issue with the game!
