Troubleshooter: A Drag and Drop Adventure by Phlip45 2020-10-10T15:55:19Z ♥ 1
Really fun adventure game with game play cards. I really like the pixel art for the game play and the mesmerizing star field in the background. The settings menu gives the game a nice feel of polish. A lot of thought about the story and items went into making this game.
2 opportunities for improvement I would suggest is to use a font for the card text which matches the pixel art feel of the game throughout. Also, consider keypresses for card play to simplify play without a mouse.
Great job.
in Dreams you can't find clocks by OmarMoBadr 2020-10-10T15:00:20Z ♥ 1
The story driven adventure game is ambitious but well done. I would suggest that the pace of the dialog screens be increased or may click-to-proceed to get into the game. Audio monolog of the text could really drive up the mood. I think the concept is really strong and could be developed into an really neat game.
A Boy and his Ghosts by Rolly 2020-10-10T14:41:01Z ♥ 1
Very fun take on a puzzle game. I liked the challenge of getting the timing right with the ghosts. Also, guilty pleasure, it was fun to make a bunch of ghosts all synchronized jumping of the platform. The dancing is the best part of the game.
Crazy Running Cow by Vollfeiw 2020-10-10T14:30:26Z ♥ 0
The cow theme with farm audio affects are great for the mood. The graphics are impressive too, especially for a quick weekend. The smooth well done graphics and audio environment make this game really enjoyable. The only things I would suggest are to leave the lap completion text up for longer, its really quick and progressively add more obstacles to the track to increase the challenge level.
A bright light flashes and when it subsides... by KunoNoOni 2020-10-10T14:21:26Z ♥ 0
Great idea of a text adventure game. First one I've come across so points for originality. It brings back fond memories of the Zork series long ago. Well done providing and in-depth, well thought out story for such a quick turn around time.
Rim of Zitra by Listonos 2020-10-10T14:14:24Z ♥ 1
Great feeling of mood on a creative adaptation of the theme. Fun choose your own adventure game.
Etracyte by bentglasstube 2020-10-10T14:08:26Z ♥ 1
I really liked the pixel art and the introductory cut scene. The game mechanics are fluid and easy to pick up. I think its also really cool that its your own engine and uses cellular automata. I did see a crystal or two that seemed to be stuck in an inaccessible region. Well done.
Eternal Run by kovalok 2020-10-07T13:24:54Z ♥ 1
A fun game. Kids and I played countless times of "racing" around the track and killing the zombies. The game mechanics were quick and easy to learn and play. I love games with this "old-school" feel of graphics. My only improvement suggestions would be to support keypad in addition to the mouse to support laptop play, and some of the fences seemed to be blurry. All in all, though, this was a very fun game. My kids keep going back to play it so that's a win in and of itself.
Loopball by Teapoly 2020-10-06T04:13:56Z ♥ 0
Very interesting and enjoyable game with a very unique control interface. Very enjoyable. I can definitely see this game becoming a mobile hit with more levels. A great play, especially as your "fall-back".
Ring Rush by blotosaur 2020-10-06T04:05:07Z ♥ 0
Unique take on the theme and a great game play. It took me a few tries to get the hang of the mechanics, but once I got the hang of it it was really fun. I like the fact that even with the same levels, each play is different based on your timing and control.
Trouble in the Loop by DMac 2020-10-06T03:52:09Z ♥ 2
The bowling ball textures are really nice and look great. While maybe not what you intended, the great think about these quick time frames are seeing what comes out and how developers adapt to them! Nice job getting the game out.
Cluck of the Time Egg by Yeomsley 2020-10-06T03:40:20Z ♥ 2
All around great game. This is my first jam, but wasn't expecting to see an RPG. This game brought back fond memories of the original Final Fantasy (I still have my original Nintendo Power guide in my basement my kids find fascinating). I love it. The sound effects are great and the graphics have that old school feel.
Dino Chomp by diaonic 2020-10-06T03:11:21Z ♥ 2
Who doesn't like a dinosaur game? A nice platformer with fun graphics. A few tweaks could make the gameplay much smoother. A smoother rotation around the dinosaur during the wall climb and smoothing the speed out of the dash could make the transition smoother and less jarring. That said, the game is enjoyable and plays nicely.
Pollution by Athryell 2020-10-05T16:50:46Z ♥ 3
One of the best implementations of the theme I've played. Great gameplay. Great sound effects (I love the this style). All packaged with a social message. Cut up those 6-pack containers!
Koinax Loop by dreamscale 2020-10-05T15:39:02Z ♥ 1
Really, a lot packed into 1 weekend of development. The terrain mountain and canyon graphics were really nice. The controls were very intuitive.
F=g(m1m2/d^2) by mungobulge 2020-10-05T15:29:21Z ♥ 1
I like the gravity idea and the boost & asteroid. I may prefer additional uses of the boost or asteroid as opposed to restarting the level. That said, I found myself determined to find a way to reach my ship.
Altered Nexus by clemonades 2020-10-05T15:21:27Z ♥ 2
Love the inspirational messages. They make for a feel good game. Took me a couple runs to discover "double jumping" but after that I didn't want to stop. Really well done.
Motor Loop by Mr.WVJ 2020-10-05T15:10:33Z ♥ 0
Same, 404 error. Make it public?
Kinalo by mutuware 2020-10-05T15:07:11Z ♥ 0
As previous said, the mood is well set. While the game feels incomplete, the foundation is set for a fun game.
It Makes Plants... by Aaron Smith 2020-10-05T15:02:17Z ♥ 3
Cool game concept. I feel a bit like WALL-E trying to maintain a planet all by myself! I think this game is a solid foundation for adding additional challenges or ways to interact to grow the environment. Nice job.
Karmic Circle by TheConfusedCyborg 2020-10-05T04:28:47Z ♥ 1
I really enjoyed the concept of changing your character based on how you died, innovative. Additional obstacles in the level to avoid or longer maps would make the game more challenging and replayable.
Spyral by Symnel 2020-10-05T04:20:12Z ♥ 1
Has a Roblox "Obby" feel to it. Could use more obstacles to avoid or randomization. Good start.
What Goes In Must Come Out by SimplePotential 2020-10-05T04:15:07Z ♥ 1
I like the DOS style feel. It really plays like one. I think the game struck a balance between easy and hard. With more time, I think that icons to help differentiate between colors would help color-blind players like myself. Although this might take away from the style of game the blocks provide.
Race Condition by pekuja 2020-10-05T04:05:04Z ♥ 1
I like the unique idea of "racing your past self." The gameplay is nice and smooth too. I like the attention to detail for the quick turn-around jam such as the stands with spectators.
The Loop by minibobbo 2020-10-05T03:39:09Z ♥ 1
Classic SNES vibe clearly came through. Nice smooth game play and controls. Nice job!
Loop Swat 'em Gravity by Nick Rafalski 2020-10-05T03:33:14Z ♥ 1
The smooth sleek graphics are an instant draw. This easy to learn, difficult to master game was a great play, both solo and a pass-and-play with the kids trying to one up each other. The unexpected sound effects had us all cracking up as we played an wondering what would be said next. Great job.
Knock, knock... Boooooo by FussenKuh 2020-10-05T03:30:39Z ♥ 1
Apology accepted from a color blind guy! Eventually made it through (with some help). This game has it all packed into a classic. Physics, particle effects, sound effects, and colorized code IDE spice up this old-school Knock Knock joke! Great investment for 5 hours!
