Fit the theme of the jam perfectly. The game play was intuitive and overall pretty easy to play without any necessary instructions. The graphics, sound and music was all done well. You'll probably do well in the scoring. Best to you! :)
The opening music is quite impressive! The game play was rough for me. I had great difficulty moving around on narrow platforms. There seemed to be some graphical issues too, for example; the lighting was not very effective, and despite having a torch, I always felt like there wasn't enough light to see where I was going. The character seemed to have too much light on him, so he appeared overexposed. But I think my biggest issue was with the apparent spine based character animation. In fact, it didn't really behave like a traditional character animation at all, sometimes the legs would rotate around in a 360 degree circle. The character's motion didn't bob up and down at all. It was very robotic looking and oterhwise just unnatural. There wasn't a lot to do other than explore. I didn't really fight anything, pickup anything, or do anything other than just walk, jump and try to avoid landing in the water. I'll admit, I didn't advance very far. I quit just as I entered the 2nd level. I think there must have been a lot of work done on the game, but it might have been a bit more work than was anticipated. It was a good solid effort, and I wouldn't mind seeing the game again if you decided to polish the game, especially if you ever intend to publish. Great job, congrats on finishing. Best to you
cute!
I like the concept of entering 3 different rooms to change occupation. It is a bit cumbersome to the game play, but there seems to be plenty of time to make the transition. The pixel art graphics and animation were all very well done. The sound effects and music both matched each other, as well as fitting the visuals of the game. The music itself was executed professionally. I particularly enjoyed how the music transformed during the death into a nice long sustained chord. (Nice touch!) There were also some pretty fast handed musical arrangements happening too. (As a musician, I notice these things). There were a few minor problems, but easy to dismiss with a game of this caliber. For example, there seemed to be some kind of hiccup in one of the animations, or maybe it was the movement script (hard to tell). Also, I found myself getting stuck on some of the corners (or edges) as I passed by objects in the game. Great team work! Looking forward to your next game.
Congrats on finishing an entry for the game jam. This game has very little content, but the pixel art for the fire and the lighting caught my attention. I didn't feel like there was very much to do in the game, and I got bored very quickly. I hope your games continue to improve,and look forward to your next one. Best to you.
I started to play the game, and felt like the content was a little too deep for me right now. But the game design, graphics, sounds and so on were all done very well. As far game design goes, I rate this game pretty high.
First of all, I think the game looks fantastic! I mean, everything, the music, the audio, the graphics. What a great job! The only real downside I expected was the controls. I felt the "J" and "K" were probably not the best options for the only 2 action keys in the game. However, I do intend to play this game a little more during some of my free time. So consider that a compliment! Great work, hope to see your next game soon.
The music was relaxing. I actually grabbed my guitar and tried to jam along. The simple melody is peaceful and a good choice for a game like this. The graphics looked 3D in the still images, but definitely looked 2D once I was in the game. Overall, I think the graphics and sound were both attractive and complimented each other. I would definitely play this game again.
this game concept seems to be very popular for this game jam. I did enjoy the environment, lighting and the wolves lurking in the darkness and mysteriously killing campers in the night. It added a certain sense of intensity to the game. However, I could only find about a half dozen sticks in the nearby woods, and despite a few quick attempts to explore, I never really figured out where to find anymore wood. The graphics and sound effects are nice. I hope you do well with the votes. Best of luck! :)
I didn't think I would enjoy this, but came at it with an open mind, and to my surprise, I actually did enjoy it very much. In fact, i plan on coming back and playing it some more after I get a chance to rate a bunch of other games. The pixel art and animations are nice, the music is interesting, because as a musician, I pickup on the improvisation at hand, and think it's kind of cool that you put this track together in this way. Way to go! Best of luck with your votes, and hope to see your next game.
To be honest, I didn't really connect with this game. There seems to be a couple of different phases in the game play.... you start by collecting sun, then spending your energy points on some kind of defense or whatever, without really knowing what offensive opponents are coming your way. So it's kind of like blind spending. Then you are attacked by various enemies and basically just sit there taking the abuse until the phase cycle repeats. It's the blind buying mechanic that makes me feel detached from the game play. The graphics and sound are mediocre. But don't let any negative feedback keep you from continuing to make games. You can only improve, so I hope to see what your next game submission looks like. Good Luck! And best to you!
This game is very creative and fun. The graphics are somewhat minimalistic, but that's ok, because the game focuses on beat matching and the music. The music is also awesome by the way. Congrats on submitting a really good game into the jam. Best of luck!
The audio/visual quality is very good. I really love pixel art when done well. But what stands out the most with this game is the creative use of the "Chess" environment. This game mechanic is definitely thinking outside the box, and I will most likely come back and try this game again after a few days. Good job!
The Sound & Music are nice, the graphics are peaceful and goes along perfectly with the audio stuff. The controls seem spot on. The game play is very casual (which I happen to prefer) and overall, I think it's a beautiful entry into the game jam. I wish you the best of luck.
The graphics are obviously not the focus of this game, as all I really see are icons and lines. The color scheme is appropriate. Unfortunately, the game is a little deeper than my little mind can understand, so I didn't seem to get very far... (or maybe I did) I don't know. At least you were able to finish a game and get your entry in on time. I wish you the best and look forward to your next game.
The pixel art graphics are done very well. Congrats for finishing your game on time. It looks like it might have taken some time to get everything working right. You've got a couple of game mechanics, such as the speed strips and the scavenger hunting that were done perfectly. With that said, the game content seems to be very thin. I only experienced one level and it appeared to be somewhat small. Best of luck in the game jam.
I enjoyed playing this enough, that'll I'll come back and play it again after the jam is over. The color scheme is easy on the eyes. The graphics, are also very pleasing and kept simple and less distracting. The game play is about my pace, which I really appreciate. And you went through the trouble of making audio/music sliders to adjust the volume (BIG THANKS!) Good stuff! Keep it up!
I gotta say, the concept of this game is truly unique! Way to go on presenting something new to the table. (at least, as far as my limited game playing experience has ever gone) The animations and screen transitions are highest quality. The sound and stereo effects were all very well done. I wasn't able to play the game, but I can imagine someone who is up to the challenge having a lot of fun with this. I could imagine you getting a good score in this game jam. I wish you the best of luck.
It's classy that the artwork completely reflects this particular time period and has a nice color palette and matching style. The pixel art is very nice. The game play is so-so... It took me a few minutes to pickup on some of the basic mechanics, but I did eventually start to catch on. Nice entry in the game jam. Best to you.
This game presents a very unique concept of racing on the surface of a gigantic Torus (hence the name of the game "PlaneTorus" (clever name by the way). The graphics are visually pleasing, the music selection really fits the game. I realize that the game wasn't finished, but I can imagine the possibilities. I look forward to your next and wish you the best of luck.
The game seems like there are many layers involved, which might make the programming a bit complicated. So I am a bit impressed that this was accomplished in just 3 days. Congrats on finishing your game on time by the way. The graphics are done tastefully and I noticed that all of the art matches each other well, and stay to the same color palette. The sounds fx and music are both good for the game itself and done well. Overall, it's a good entry into the jam. It's unfortunately that I don't' typically play these kinds of games so I didn't make it too far myself. I can see how someone who likes this sort of game might find it highly entertaining.
I think the general concept of this game is very unique. The player is expected to sit back before taking action and determine who to target based on information given. The graphics (at a glance) may not look spectacular, but once you get into the game and start playing, you immediately realize that there's something special going on with the graphics... That is, everything is animated! Everything! I mean... EVERYTHING! Right down to the Font, icons and even the talk bubble itself is fully animated. This level of detail is very impressive, especially for a game jam. The music writing was good, but the 8-bit sound quality is never a good thing for me (being an old man with hearing problems). I would definitely play this game again when I have a little more time. I consider this to be a good candidate for the game jam. I hope to see you near the top. Good luck!
I have never played a rhythm game before, so this was my first time experience with this genre. As a musician with over 30 years experience, I felt that the timing was not synced properly, but then again, it could also be my inexperience with this game genre, maybe I just need a little more practice. The graphics were awesome, the music was equally amazing, and I really loved the look and feel of the game. The main character was a hoot, and the presentation of dialogue was groovy, to say the least. Much respect and enthusiasm. Best to you! Good luck with the voting, I think you'll do well.
It's always nice to see original works of pixel art graphics. The game concept was kept very simple so that you could complete the game jam on time, so congrats for meeting that goal. The controls worked as expected, but I wasn't able to follow the game intuitively. I felt a little lost along the way, but I am sure if I spent a bit more time, I might have figured it all out. Best of luck in the jam! Keep making games
Congrats on finishing a game entry in 3 days. There's not a lot to talk about with a clone game, but at least you can say that you finished a project, and that's always a good thing. I had trouble playing your game, but I also had trouble with the famous Flappy Bird game that this seems to be modeled after. This is a very difficult game to play. one good thing that you added was the ability to go forward and backwards, which is a nice mechanic. Good job and keep making games!
The visuals for this game are very hard on the eyes. I did continue playing the game, despite the appearance, and thought the concept was good for a young child learning basic math. The graphics were not that stimulating and the audio was also not much to talk about either. I'm sure that you'll do better with each new game that you make. Just keep moving forward and congrats on finishing a game, because that's a really big deal at the end of the day. Best to you.
I didn't think I was going to enjoy this game much because it seemed like there would be an excessive amount of reading, but after playing for a few seconds, I quickly realized that you can skim through the content and make quick decisions based on certain keywords. The concept of the game is fairly unique, and I thought it played fairly well for a game that I wouldn't ordinarily play. I did have difficulty getting the game to close, ALT+F4 didn't work, so I had to ALT+TAB and then Right Click on the icon on my task bar to close it. Also, I was playing during a live stream, and couldn't move the screen over to my second monitor where my viewers could see it while I played. not bad for a game jam entry, especially for Python! Good job! :)
I love the look and feel of the game. The drunken character is a lot of fun. Low-poly, flat color graphics are my favorite. The music and sound effects all work very well with the game play. Overall, it was fantastic experience for me. Some drawbacks might include the weird way the character dies from tripping over things. I wasn't 100% clear in some cases what was killing me, but I'll come back and play the game again and take a closer look next time. Great job! Hope to see more by your team. Best to you.
Most of the pixel art is nicely done and share the same color palette and resolution, but the character's art is a bit out of place. The player character is about half of the size that I feel it should be. The controls seemed to be working as intended and intuitive, so that's good. The music in the menu started out extremely loud, and then became quieter during game play. Thanks for sharing your work in the game jam. Good luck and best to you!
First of all, let me start by mentioning that Tim is an online acquaintance, and I did lurk on his channel for a few minutes to see him developing this game. I happen to love driving games and also am a big fan of low-poly flat color textures. So the game immediately struck my interests. That, coupled with the egg basket mechanic made this driving game a little more interest, because just racing around a track is one thing, but keeping a fragile egg from falling off of the car is a whole other thing. I noticed you can't go backwards, so it's possible to find yourself in a situation where you are stuck and forced to restart the game. Also, I love how the eggs stay in the environment with each reset. It really added a little extra flare. Great entry in the game jam by a fantastic person and professional developer. Best to you!
The pixel art style is really my favorite part about the game. The game itself is a standard rogue-like game, maybe even more like Angband with the sprite based tiles. I loved what I saw and played very briefly to just get a feel for it. The procedural generation seemed to work perfectly. There was a bit of a problem with some of the enemies being too powerful so early in the game, so there could be some advancements in difficulty arrangements. fantastic game jam entry. Best to you!
The trampoline performance was the best feature of the game. I had no trouble bouncing the babies around. The only problem I personally had with the game, was the content. I hope you will find something a little more mainstream with your next game. Best to you.
The graphics are nice and the controls are all very intuitive and easy to handle, however, the enemies come at the target very quickly and there seems to be a challenge collecting ammo and dealing with threats so quick and early in the game. There was a couple of moments where I felt the game cheated me, because the enemy health showed one heart, but I had to hit them multiples time to kill them. I did have fun playing the game, but wish there was a slower paced version for old guys like me. hehehe Good luck with the jam. :)
This is a great game, and I hope you do well in the scoring. First of all, the graphics are very well done. Grade A! The town layout is very strategic. The look and feel of the game makes sense in both art and strategy. In other words, it's very easy to tell what you need to do based on simple shapes and colors for different types of pickups. The music was very fitting, and left me in a sort of elevated mood while I raced through the game to collect what I needed while avoiding obstacles. Overall, great jam entry. Best of luck!
I didn't play for very long, but I got the general idea of the game. You are locked in a very confined area, and have to dodge incoming missiles (bullets) to progress in the game. Due to the small area of movement, this doesn't lend much to the actual game play. The visuals reminded me of old Atari games, so if a person was into that sort of thing, I imagine they would be happy to play the game. The graphics looked good in that they matched each other, and blended well with the game environment. The sound effects suited the graphics. There was a few unintended game behaviors, such as enemies shooting other enemies, and the vehicles melding together. I'm sure with a little more time you could have easily fixed that. But the biggest problem of course was that the game had no End Condition (it didn't actually tell you that you lost and offer the ability to try again) For that, I had ALT+F4, which is no big deal for game jam, but could have easily been resolved if you had thought of it in advance. Good entry, and best of luck in the jam. I look forward to your next games.
I took special interest in the way you change the Order in Layer based on the Y-Axis of the character. this is an old trick, but the fact that you used this in a 2 day jam was nice for me as a fellow developer who has created games much like this in the past. Good job on that. The visuals are very pleasing. The artwork itself is desirable. The missing sounds is excusable considering the 3 day limit, but of course it would be a much better experience with sound (I'm sure you already know that). The controls felt very natural, I didn't really have any trouble navigating or fighting off enemies. The concept of the game was kept extremely simple. Overall, good game entry. Best to you!
Realizing that you have used the Synty Store assets, the game obviously looks very nice. I thought the controls were done expertly. The game dialogue didn't really give me a lot of time to absorb what I was reading, but I did eventually figure out how to progress through trial and error. I enjoyed the gun fire action of the game, and the visuals were splendid. I will likely play this game some more when I have a little more time to soak it in. Thanks for your submission. The game felt immersive enough to keep me engaged a little longer than the usual game jam. Congrats! and Best to you.
The music is really good. I grabbed my guitar and started jamming along. The intro music really had me in a groove. The pixel art is kept very simple, but effective in that at least the entire game's art matches in the same artistic scheme. The game mechanics seems to be working as intended. It's a nice entry for the game jam. I wish you the best.
The music is way too loud. I thought the water physics was done well, although water droplets could have looked better if they were round VS square. The game seemed to be missing sound fx, which would have added a bit more flare, but congrats on finishing your first game. I look forward to seeing your next entries.
The graphics are cute. The gameplay is very stereotypical. I had a little trouble in the beginning understanding the pickup, but that's my own fault for not reading the instructions very carefully. Once I was able to pickup items, the game started to play more comfortably. The movement was a bit fast, but otherwise it was pretty good game jam entry. Congrats :)
The music probably wasn't original, but it was decent music for the game style. It was, unfortunately, way tooo loud, but I was able to adjust the volume outside of the game. Another unfortunate event was that the mouse sensitivity way very difficult for me. Moving barely 1mm with my mouse caused a 90 degree rotation. It made it impossible for me to make any progress in the game. The graphics were fair. The concept of the game seemed fit. I'm sure you'll learn from the experience and continue to improve as you invent more games in the future. Best of luck! :)
The first thing I want to say is, the music is extremely loud and the 8-bit style is often difficult to take even at a low volume. Other than that, the graphic quality of the game is actually quite nice. A lot of work goes into making good pixel, so it's evident that the artist for this game has some real experience. The game plays like any typical platforming, nothing that innovative or fancy. I might have missed a few features, but overall, it's a standard platform game with average controls and nice looking pixel art. Good luck in the game jam!
The music was wayyyyy toooo loud! The game play is kept extremely simple, but still very difficult to play. I've seen many games like this, so there wasn't much in the realm of innovation. But congrats for finishing a game within the 3-day deadline. We all know how difficult this is to achieve. Keep working on games, they'll only continue to get better. Good luck! :)
It seems like a fun sort of IQ test game. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have tried it at 4:30 in the morning. lol... Overall, I think the game was done tastefully. It's too bad that I was a little too tired to answer the IQ style questions. Maybe tomorrow I'll try again. Best to you. And good luck in the jam! :)
I like the 3D tiles mostly. The lighting is also done tastefully. I'm not overly fond of the way the character looks when he moves, or the character itself. The game seems to be lacking things to do. I didn't play long enough to fully explore it, but the controls themselves seemed accurate. I imagine it would be difficult to put everything together in just 3 days. So for that, i think you did a pretty good job. Time constraints are rough... Would have been a little more interest (of course) with some audio, but I understand the limited time factor. Good luck with the jam! :)
This is not the kind of game I would ordinarily play, so I wasn't really able to understand it. It took me a few minutes to even realize the webpage was the game. (I guess, I don't even really know)
I really think the GUI is one of my favorite things about the game. Also, the way the music slows down when you fail, it really conveys the failure and fits the game very well. The low-poly graphics are also very nice. Good job. Although this is not the kind of game that I would ever be able to play very well, I do think that there are other people out there who can pat their head, and rub their tummy at the same time while chewing gum, and this game might be perfect for those individuals. I wish you the best.
The graphics for this game are tight. Everything looks like it was drawn by the same artist and all goes together perfectly. I mean, everything! User Interface, Characters, Environment, everything! The music was blaring loud, but if adjusted would probably be good for the game pace. The controls seemed intuitive. I was able to jump in and start playing immediately. This is a nice entry for the game jam. I wish you the best of luck! :)
I do love the pixel art graphics. I don't often see games that remind me of Asteroids that use pixel art in this manner. good job! The sound fx and music fit the 80's arcade style, but not soothing to my ears. The controls are appropriate to the genre too.
First of all, the 3D Robot model is very well done, congrats! The look of the game is very nice. I did have trouble with the game play, mostly because I'm an old man, and my old brain doesn't think quite so quickly anymore. But I appreciate what you have created, and think that anyone who likes a face paced thinking game would likely appreciate this.
The graphics are pretty good. I didn't think I'd enjoy a typing game, but it did keep me engaged. Some of the words were a little tricky in the beginning, but I think that's because the phrases get randomly generated. I'd think that the game would start with simpler words first and then gradually increase in typing difficulty as you play. (maybe it already does that, I don't know, but I had trouble typing L.A. Deli due to the punctuation. Overall, I think it's a good entry. Best of luck! :)
This game is really amazing. The 3D art and sound fx are all very soothing. the fire effects are very nice too. The urgency to keep the fire lit are a good game mechanic for this theme. I was glad it was not another Don't Starve knockoff. I will definitely play this game again very soon. Thanks for your entry. And best of luck!
I really loved the low-poly 3D art in this game. The music and sounds were soothing and matched the nature theme of the game. I did have trouble with the mouse sensitivity, but it's forgivable considering the 3-Day time constraint. I will go back and play this game a little more when I have some extra time in the next few days. Great job! Hope you do well. Best to you!
This game really stood out as innovative. I also loved the graphic style. The people were simple, but functional. The airport told me that you probably have spent a lot of time in airports. Music was perfect for the environment of the game. And the fork in the outlet was hilarious. This game jam entry is really great. I wish you the best of luck.
I felt engaged with the game play. It was intuitive enough to keep me playing, and I'll likely come back for a second try when I have a little more time. The music loop was short, but didn't turn me off. I thought it fit the game. The sound fx were also fitting. Thanks for your game jam entry and good luck!
The game played very intuitively. It was simple enough to play, so I would play it again at a later time. The graphics were very nice. I wasn't fond of the sound fx in the game. They didn't seem to be recorded at the same volume. The music seemed very professional. Good job! Best of luck!
I thought the graphics were done very nicely. The music was also soothing, however, the volume of the music was a bit too loud compared to the sound fx, and I wasn't able to adjust the volume in the game at all. I also enjoy games that are non-violent, and this game definitely fit into that category. I hope you get lots of good positive feedback. Good luck on the jam! :)
The graphics were my favorite part of the game. After reading a ton of dialogue, I eventually stopped reading and quit. It didn't seem like there was much more to do than reading. I suppose there are people out there who love to read while playing games, but unfortunately, I am not one of them. The overall experience was not bad. I do wish you the best of luck with the jam.
Boo! The intro to the game scared me into quitting. I thought it was a virus or something. I'll have to give it a second try.
I originally didn't think I'd enjoy the game based on the animated graphics, but after starting the game, and moving around, it was actually a bit more engaging than I predicted. The minimalist graphics has a certain appeal to it. The graphic style was consistent. The music was soothing, and the audio sound fx seemed to fit the style of game. Good job and I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks for making this game. It reminded me a bit of Don't Starve. The graphics were nice, the audio and music were well placed and the wolf mechanic kept the player on guard. The ram pet was a bit weird, but that's only because I've never had a ram pet. I wouldn't mind getting one after playing this game though.
I really enjoyed playing this game. The art style was very well done. I love the mix of pixel art and low poly. The tutorial was paced nicely, and I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. Good job! :)
I really loved your pixel art. I found the controls fairly intuitive. There was a good sense of humor in the game play and the theme was fitting. Good luck with the jam! :)
Great job with the low poly modeling. I did have a little trouble at first maneuvering the ship, but it was easy to dismiss, seeing that I have never really driven a boat before. I really enjoyed the look of the game very much. I can see that you put a lot of work into this. Good luck with the jam!
I thought the graphics were very interesting, a bit bold in the color department. The sound fx were suiting. I guess I started the game poorly by falling off of the building. I wasn't sure what to do from the ground, but I can see where you were going with the game once it came to my attention that I should have been on the rooftops. Good luck with the jam! :)
I thought the pixel art graphics were nice. I wasn't that engaged with the game play. Congrats on successfully making a game 'with your girlfriend' :)
I didn't have the patience to clear the first level. The micro-movements and pixel perfect positioning killed it for me. The first level of a game like this should be less challenging, in hopes to peak the interest of the player while filling them in on the game mechanics along the way.
For example, Level 1 could be a very simple level that involves merely jumping over gaps or obstacles. Level 2 might introduce avoiding harmful objects such as spikes or blades. Level 3 might introduce a tricky maneuver such as jumping atop a dangerous object or jumping over a projectile with careful timing.
I felt like the game started from the middle, and left me having to figure everything out all at once. Add the fact that everything is so unforgiving (no health points, instant death, no checkpoints, etc) It only took me a few minutes to rage quit and move on to the next game.
Regardless of these points, the game physics felt alright, the controller seemed to move correctly, the graphics and sound were all fairly good. Level design is an art in itself. I recommend reading up on the art of good level design. With enough practice, your games will start to become addicting. Best to you!
I enjoyed the game for a few minutes, the voice narrative is a nice touch. While it's nice to be able to move faster by holding shift, I never found a situation where moving at the default speed was beneficial at all. So I played through the game holding down Shift the entire time.
The mazes were a bit much. It's frustrating walking to a dead end and having to backtrack constantly. But I did enjoy it overall. Keep up the good work! :V:
In order to get your game some visibility where more people will see it and inevitably rate it, you need to play other games from the jam and rate them. This Karma system works really well, because if you rate 20+ games, you are more or less guaranteed to get 20 or so ratings in return. I found out about your game from the front page and noticed you were outright asking (or even begging) for ratings or views rather than using the Karma system.
I played your game. It's definitely not a game that I would normally pick to play and rate, so here goes...
Maybe I'll be polite and just say, congrats for entering the game jam. You have 'something', which is more than some people could say. Right?
On the other hand, being polite can often stand in the way of being helpful, which in my opinion 'being helpful' is more polite than merely nodding and agreeing.
I'll try to be a little more helpful then...
The game is not fun in any sense of the word. You play a character who can not visually turn side to side and has no animation whatsoever, who faces a bunch of gigantic guns, which can not rotate in the direction they are shooting but somehow manage to fire off continuous rounds directly towards the player even if there is no line of sight. The object of the game seems to be to find the exit, which is not difficult to do. With each passing level, it's basically the same environment except there are more guns shooting at you... and more barrels to hide behind. Until you die, which I never really died, I just got bored and quit.
You seem to be able to push the guns, for whatever reasons I couldn't figure out. I suppose, it could be unintentional. And there are some random barrels which can stop the bullets, although they cannot be pushed or manipulated in any way, as far as I could tell. I guess they serve as a sense of direction as you look around for the exit.
By the way, you spelled Ludum Dare wrong in the Splash screen of your game; "Ludum Dairy"
The art seemed to be the most interesting part of your game. Pixel art is always fun to look at. I have nothing negative to say about your art. I know how much time it takes to make it, so I'll give you a slightly higher score for that...
But, overall, the experience was relatively poor (for me). I hope you continue practicing, learning and submitting. It's only through experience that we pave the path to excellence. Best to you! :)
I liked the concept too. with the "Start with Nothing" theme, using melee attack to steal an opponent's gun makes a lot of sense. The music was very high energy. The graphics were all placeholders, but with a stretch of imagination I could see this being a pretty fun little game. Nice entry into the game jam :)
I really liked the planet platform. the controls and game mechanics were intuitive. :)
weird is the new cool! :)
excellent concept! I enjoyed playing and watching other people play this game. congrats!
Excellent work! This game fits the theme, is fun to play, the music is fitting, sound fx work, and overall was easy enough to figure out 'how to play', thus making it addicting enough to want to complete.
I'll be honest, I didn't really get what was going on, and I ended up quitting instead of trying to figure it out. The graphics were nice. The energy of the game met expectations. I just didn't feel drawn in enough to get through the initial learning curve.
fit the theme pretty good. I would have liked it more if the first level was beatable. lol.
i always like a good clicker. This one has potential :)
Very unique game concept. This is a really clever puzzle game. Way to go! :)
I really enjoyed the art and ambience of the game. I also have a thing for these kinds of medieval traps, so I felt right at home playing this game. However, I couldn't find my way into the next area. I ended up quitting out of frustration. I really wanted to figure it out and move into the next area. Great job for a game jam! :) good luck!
The movement seemed a bit too slow for a world that was so spread out. I enjoyed the pixel art graphics. The story really fit the theme. good job :)
pretty cool concept that perfectly fits the theme of the game jam.
Except for the Z-battles, the graphics were nice. The music set the right mood. I don't recall hearing any sound fx. Now, as far as the game play.. I had no trouble with movement, but it took me quite some time to figure how to push the crate. The pumpkin's message told me that I could now push crates, but never mentioned I had to use a nail/tack to do it. Once I figured out how to enable the nail/tack tool, or whatever it is, the game became much easier. The exit out of the level was completely hidden in shadows, which made it take me a minute or two before realizing what to do next. The following level was far easier than the first. Probably because I learned how to play the game in the first level. Anyway, not bad for a 3 day jam. :)
I only ran two laps before getting bored and quitting. I understand the 8-directional limitation of sprites, but that doesn't mean the car shouldn't be able to move when pressing the directional arrows. I'm sure the upgrades would have improved the car's performance... I get it. But I just didn't feel like torturing myself only to find out the car handled better after the initial grind. Then again, it's a 3 day game jam, so.... not bad considering the time/effort.
The art/graphics were absolutely amazing. The music loop was a bit short, but fortunately nice enough so it was not irritating. I liked the intro how it seamlessly went from main menu to playing the game. Now, let's get into the game mechanics. I'll just say it like it is... It felt like an arm-wrestling match. There were moments when I thought I was going to be able to intentionally move or look around in a particular direction, but then I would lose the battle and be left staring into the sky or down at the ground. One last point... I had no idea what the object of the game was. There were objects I could pickup, push, and I could jump and swim and do stuff, but never ended up figuring out anything useful to do.
First time I played, I apparently died just after collecting the first couple of items. I didn't realize I was dead, and couldn't move, and there was no "Try Again" option, so I had to close the game and reopen it to try again. The second round, I was able to move around and dodge enemies before dying, but couldn't figure out how to use the stuff I collected. I needed to go back and read a little to realize how to do this. Third attempt, I picked up stuff, used it, and started using a weapon (flame thrower). I killed a few enemies and died. Each time I died, I had to close the game and start it again. The graphics were kept simple, the movement felt like a little slow, and I didn't quite understand the head movement until I was ready to quit playing. I didn't hear any sound fx or music. Overall, for a 3 day game jam, not bad.
I wasn't really able to 'play' the game, since I am just one person. But the graphics, music and sounds were all very nice. Simple concept, and the controls seemed to function smoothly.
I didn't get it at first, but eventually I did catch on, and thought it was fun.
I thought the game was visually pleasing. The audio / music was suiting. The game play seemed fairly intuitive. However, I had some difficulty just aiming and throwing stuff into Jum Jum's mouth. I also wished that there could have been a speed boost, perhaps with a cool down feature so that you have to use it sparingly.
I played the game because the graphics looked nice. I was surprised that there was no rating for the graphics. I had trouble clicking on some of the villagers. It seemed like their colliders might have been a bit too small or something. The music was blaring loud. It forced me to quit the game much sooner than I really wanted to. I couldn't find a way to turn it down or off, so I just left.
It took me a bit of time to figure out how to move the conveyors on level 1. It just didn't feel natural for me using a mouse. By the time I completed level 1 (about 5 minutes) I understood the nature of the game. I played through to level 7 and quit out of disinterest. The graphics are nice. The sound fx are suiting. The music becomes redundant very quickly. The simplicity of the game is typical of a mobile game. Overall, not bad, especially for a game jam. I gave it a better than average rating. Good job! :)

Really loved the pixel art and the idle/clicking was absolutely addicting. I always get trapped into these games, I'm so glad it had an end!

what a great concept! I didn't do so well at first, but with a bit of persistence, I found the game to be quite entertaining. The graphics are really nice too. congrats on a solid entry into the jam.

The graphics were nice. I had to turn off the sound cuz the music was far too loud, but the game play was fun. It seemed to have all of the necessary mechanics to keep me engaged for some time. good job

I really love the graphic appeal of this game and the rappeling mechanic is pretty awesome too. I'll definitely try this game again when I have a bit more time to really focus on it. Thanks for your entry. good luck with the game jam

It took me a minute to figure out exactly what to do, but once I realized what the game was about and how to control it, I was off and running. This game is fun. I mentioned in the live stream how I would recommend re configuring the controls and sound effects layering, but other than that, great job! :)
Get Some Foogin Sleep! by Simayen 2021-04-27T23:15:59Z ♥ 1
very fast paced game. I think it puts Sonic the Hedgehog to shame. The pixel art was very nice and I felt that the choice of music was also very fitting. Overall, a good entry into this game jam. congrats!
Super Turtle Drop by JavaSaurus 2021-04-27T22:35:59Z ♥ 1
I love the reverse-tetris concept. If that's all this game offered it would have been pretty good, but you delivered a bit more than that, which ended up being more impressive. I like it! I think you'll do pretty good in the voting. good luck friend! :)
Labyrinth of the Undead by D34TH0FTIT4N5 2021-04-27T22:21:55Z ♥ 1
the game started off interesting, but I quickly lost interest as the mazes didn't add any new mechanics, but instead just got bigger as the game progressed. The graphics were not bad, and overal it wasn't a bad experience. I hope that you do well in the scoring and look forward to your next game jam entry.
One More Lap! by Harrison Dunn 2021-04-27T22:02:57Z ♥ 1
The graphics, audio and music are all pretty good. The controls were intuitive and easy to use. However, the game is definitely lacking content. Also, it seems you mixed up the game jam theme (I think you were going by the previous theme of "Stuck in a Loop". This game entry would have been good for that. Either way, thanks for join and good luck with the votes :)
No matter how deep you are I will find you and revenge my kitty by quackBehavior 2021-04-27T21:26:25Z ♥ 1
the story of this game is cute as hell. I love the humor too. Especially the bit about asking players if they want to see blood and then referring to it as red pixels. The game is not meant to be taken too seriously, which is great for a game jam. The controls were a little weird for me, but with some practice I could get it. Good luck in the jam

nice graphics, music, and sound fx... all very fitting. The game play was fun. I really enjoyed it, and hope to spend a bit more time with it later on. thanks for sharing. and good luck with the jam!
Legend of the Goblin Hoard by Bauke Regnerus 2021-04-27T20:29:46Z ♥ 1
I love the low-poly flat-shaded graphics style, so I was immediately interested in your game design. The controls were very intuitive and easy to use right away. The combat seemed fair, decent AI, that adds enough challenge to keep me trying, but not too difficult to make me want to rage quit. Overall, I believe you have a good entry into this game jam! good luck. keep me posted on future development too.

The best word I can think to describe the game experience... it was gentle. I liked it. The game presented a morale story while keeping the player moving. i was engaged as I learned more and continued to delve deeper. Thanks for sharing.
The Mystery of Stalore-9 by Arthur Mairs 2021-04-27T19:42:52Z ♥ 3
I got entrapped into your game and ended up playing a little longer than I usually allow myself during these voting sessions. That's a good thing however. I will definitely come back to finish what I started when I have time to take it more leisurely. Great entry into the jam. best of luck. you should do well.
Blackout by Frasse 2021-04-27T19:19:45Z ♥ 7
My first thought was... Maniac Mansion, which happened to be one of my favorite games on the Nintendo back in the early 90's. This game is really impressive, especially for a 3-day game jam. It's hard to believe you had time to draw all of that pixel art and still deliver a solid game foundation. I look forward to playing the rest of the game when I am not streaming. Thanks for sharing.
Deep Root by blackoptics8 2021-04-27T18:58:42Z ♥ 0
it took me a while to finally figure out the game. Until I worked out what to do, it felt broken, but once I understood, I was off and running. The game could be somewhat addicting, and with the right graphics could wind up being a successful release. Congrats! good luck with the game jam!

I really loved the visuals on this game jam entry. To me, it looked AAA quality, so great job with that. The audio was also done very well too. The game itself seemed very strategic too. it would take me a few tries to work out exactly what to do, but I felt engaged while playing. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Good luck in the jam!
Selkö by Doot 2021-04-27T18:00:46Z ♥ 4
the visuals of your game are very nice. I also enjoyed the audio, although I got a little side-tracked listening to the music and ended up muting the game because it was causing me to lose focus on game play. then, at some point, I realized that I had to turn the audio back on in order to solve some of the puzzles. This was an excellent game jam entry. i wish you the best of luck.
Dungeon Escape by Crazybot 2021-04-27T17:29:54Z ♥ 1
Thought I'd let you know that @busy-games referred me to your game because apparently our games are very similar to one another. I played your game and thought the traps in your game were much more alarming than the ones I put in my game. You did a great job by the way. Good luck in the game jam! :)

another really fantastic game jam entry. I love the pixel art. I didn't realize that you could fill the earth in with right click until I was told, but that made the game even better than my already awesome score! great job!

beautifully designed puzzle game. I will definitely be playing through the rest of the levels when I am feeling a bit more leisure. Great job! you're going to score very well in this jam.
Objective Atlantis by Catoryu 2021-04-27T09:13:27Z ♥ 3
this game is not short on activities. There was plenty to do as the submarine traversed downward. The graphics were adorable, the music and sound fx were both done very well and fit the game perfectly. I really liked what you did to keep the player busy while staying focused with the theme. Good job.

this is very innovative. I really like the mechanics of your game. The rope felt very smooth too. And the controls very intuitive. On top of that, the visuals were very pleasing. i can't see any reason why you'd score badly in this game jam. Congrats :)
