Very cute idea 🙂 Shame about the music but hey it takes time to learn. Great job.

Spirit Desperate by zanagi 2018-12-06T07:02:52Z ♥ 0

Really nice game. Had fun playing it 🙂 The only minor thing I had issues with was the aiming. At times found it difficult but I guess that adds to the game right! Great job.

Flaming Resistance by C1FR1 2018-12-05T14:28:23Z ♥ 1

Like the concept nice and simple but effective. The controls are really intuative and I love how the darkness coming in makes you feel panicked to find more weapons. Really nice work well done 🙂

Lucifer's Plain by drikdrok 2018-12-05T14:17:39Z ♥ 1

Wow. This was an amazing little game. For what it lacked in the initial visual sense it made up for with the music, mood and story. Love the sacrifices you have no choice but to make. Have to say this is one of, if not my favourite game of the jam I've played so far purely based on how well you made the story. Great job.

ChosenProtector by Suchista 2018-12-05T14:09:03Z ♥ 1

Yeh easy mode is hard haha. They just smash your little dudes once they kill one. Like the idea though but yeh the difficulty could definitely be scaled down a touch. Nice work though.

SheeBalloon by Rudenko 2018-12-05T14:04:17Z ♥ 1

This is a beautiful little game. Love the handdrawn graphics haha and the poo shaped balloon gave me a good giggle. You should review some more games so you get some more views yourself. Really fun.

Kamikaze Kevin by Bit 2018-12-05T13:19:42Z ♥ 1

Lol I love the fact I can win by just instantly blowing myself up. Maybe you could have different levels where you need to hit a certain target before blowing up to kill the other bunnies?

Skeleton Key by Zigg 2018-12-05T13:17:26Z ♥ 4

Love the concept. Its a shame the arms didn't match the rest of the graphics style. Didn't really understand why i was collecting the gold things and losing a whole limb. And it didn't seem to cause me any issues sacrificing a leg 😆 Overall though nice. Good work.

PuzCol (Solo) by harshyyness 2018-12-05T13:09:40Z ♥ 1

Very cool idea. I love the SFX and the music. The graphics are really sweet. Shame it is so short! Great work

Mermaid VS Unicorns by mrwillowb 2018-12-05T11:39:14Z ♥ 0

I love the back story haha. But the game play was a bit strange. Like my jetpack ran out so fast and then I had to wait down the bottom for it to pick up again, shoot one unicorn and repeat.

Fishy 2 by ProWolf 2018-12-04T14:42:36Z ♥ 0

The first fish I caught was worth over $2000 then the rest were under $100. Sold them...then couldn't buy anything in the shop....it just kept on repeating the same message everytime I hit b.

Dungeon Clicker by legulysse 2018-12-04T12:46:43Z ♥ 1

I really enjoyed this. Is there an end? I played for a while and nearly had the whole map exposed. The music is perfect and I didn't feel the need to turn my speakers off at all haha. Fun different concept. Well done.

The Chickening by Ryvencore 2018-12-03T14:47:48Z ♥ 0

Cute. Really nice graphics. Took me a bit to realise killing the grey chickens was doing to opposite to what I wanted to do haha. Short and sweet. Love the dialog. Nice work.

Z-Trail by oxrock 2018-12-03T14:37:32Z ♥ 1

Cool idea I like it. Was a little confused when my people were dying before they were fully starving but overall it was nice. Haha and I love the sound fx.

WAYT by wsKilljoy 2018-12-03T14:26:13Z ♥ 1

Really like the style. I am a huge fan of platformers. Have to say though I was ready to throw my keyboard out the window at one point haha. I think maybe the platforms should disappear if you land on them not if you accidently brush them. Sooo many times I touched one in the process of landing on it and bam it was gone before I could jump. I agree with everyone it doesn't really fit the theme. but that's just one ranking criteria I guess. Awesome work. I always enjoy a good challenging game...one I finish it that is 🙂

Antony's Automatic Animal Asylum by Nehvis 2018-12-03T14:15:56Z ♥ 0

Really cute. Like the graphics and the music fits really well. What did you use to make the music/where did you get it from? Was a little confused with the lazers and then arrows changing direction but I think I got there in the end. Really nice. Awesome work.

Dungeons of Forfeit by figglewatts 2018-12-03T14:07:00Z ♥ 1

Really liked how you could choose your character. Died pretty quick the first time because I panicked when I saw a skeleton and mashed the keyboard trying to attack it. Once I figured out I just had to push into them it got easier. I got to level 6. How many floors are there? Cool idea. Only issue for me is the movement and the sound of it. I had to turn my speakers down because by the second floor it was sending me a little batty lol. Maybe decrease the level of the sound for the movement. Also the having to click to move got irritating travelling long distances. You could mayeb allow holding the button down but to attack you have to tap it? Anyway there is my novel lol. It was a good idea though. I like the fact you lose something each floor. Well done :)

Make sacrifice! My teammate! by thmokedfish 2018-12-03T13:50:40Z ♥ 1

I like the use of 2 characters. I couldn't figure out how to get down to the cross I just kept on getting spiked. I will have a bit more of a play and see how I go. But I like it. Cool idea.

Runaway Bus by TheGameDev 2018-12-03T08:17:19Z ♥ 1

Haha I think this should be called the Running over Pedestrian simulator. My first few attempts were pathetic...I didn't even make it around 1 corner. Got the hang of it though after a few tries. Really neat idea and fun.

Battle of the Occultists by SlizzBen 2018-12-03T08:10:45Z ♥ 1

Took me a little while to get that the bone wasn't something I could attack with haha. I found that I rarely started with attacking cards and by the time I got some the AI already had like 4 on the board. Nice graphics and solid idea.

SANTA'S DEATH SQUAD by paperjack 2018-12-03T08:06:39Z ♥ 1

This was so fun. Love the flinging of the "death squad" haha. The only issue I had was with the controls. Sometimes at the beginning when I still had most of my squad, it was difficult to change directions and I was stuck for a few seconds up against walls etc. Really enjoyed it though. Awesome job.

Meaningless dungeon by Ethan Losten 2018-12-03T07:59:16Z ♥ 1

I played it a couple of times. After the first time I died and restarted the game, the second level was just full of the red circles and there was no X to finish the level. The movement is a bit jolty and once a skeleton comes into view they pretty much have you killed they just jump places so fast. Nice effort though 🙂

Sacrifice Management by Aycan 2018-12-03T07:54:26Z ♥ 1

I really like the idea. Cute and simple. The only thing I found that was annoying was after items were placed in the altar, their hover menu was no longer available. Became more noticable as the levels went on.

Foothold by Vinay Rao 2018-12-03T07:41:59Z ♥ 1

Kind of didn't understand how I fell down sometimes even when I have foothold available. Neat little idea though. Maybe it could be expanded with different weapons to pick up or different moving enemies?

Space Traveler by SanyingLi 2018-12-03T07:36:03Z ♥ 0

Really nice simple graphics that work really well. Nice idea and nicely presented. Good work.

Cargo Crunch by MCRewind 2018-12-03T07:31:29Z ♥ 0

Really nice explaination on how the game works. I started knowing exactly what I needed to do. Maybe just needed some more crew members. I found once I plugged up a wall or 2 I had none left. Really liked the start screen transitions. Nice work 🙂

Lost In Space by Sargonius 2018-12-03T07:24:22Z ♥ 1

Nice concept. I agree this would be a cool little mobile game. Good work 😃

What could go wrong.. by iMer 2018-12-03T06:25:08Z ♥ 0

This was cute. Was kind of frustrating getting them stuck in the corners, but if you jiggled around a bit you can get them out. Love the finishing touch on every level having them jump into the volcano 😄

God of Indecisiveness by JakobTheQuizGuy 2018-12-03T06:11:08Z ♥ 2

I think I enjoyed that more than I should haha! The worst part was stabbing the poor little pigs right in the face. The last level was probably the only one that was challenging. Once I got the rhythm down though I picked it up pretty fast. Maybe instead of levels continually get faster you could change when the god wants part way through the level. Like start with goats and then it changes to men. Keep the mind working. Overall though it was good. And I did a bit of an evil giggle when I saw the first level and realised what the game was.

Quest for the West by tigerj 2018-12-03T05:56:53Z ♥ 1

I found after a while the text really started to hurt my eyes. Maybe for the decisions and options the font could have been a little more generic. I do like the look of it though very nice.

Squad Wipe by No-Nate November 2018-12-03T05:45:49Z ♥ 0

Cute concept. Kind of feels a little hollow with no music.

thacrifaazth by s4m4di 2018-12-03T05:40:20Z ♥ 1

Got the hang of what I was supposed to do after a few goes. Kind of hard to stop the gears at the right time to stop the whole group getting killed.
