Pit King by VeryEvilTomato 2019-04-30T21:05:03Z

Guys, please, next time write somewhere that there are no limit to the waves, I went to wave 20 because of how awesome it was to play :) Art is awesome, animations are great, sounds are sooo satisfying... The entire game itself is just so satisfying indeed. There is an intense feeling of destruction which pops from every destroyed knights, and it is truly captivating! As a simple advice, maybe consider a key shortcut or just a more reliable way to upgrade turrets, it took me time to understand why I was in fact upgrading the tower under the button: :) But frankly that was just awesome, thank you guys for giving this experience!

Theseus Capturing by Nikipedia 2019-04-30T20:38:34Z

Really great job! Art is nice, music is veeery nice (love the change of tone when catching a flag), and it is pleasant to walk in this maze (sorry, labyrinth). It is however suuuuper hard to avoid the little monsters, it is really hard to estimate when to dodge them with your abilities. I was thinking, maybe 3rd person view would be nice? Anyway I really enjoyed, keep going like this!

Space Hunt by Rewzu 2019-04-30T11:10:29Z

Nice work as a compo, but pretty hard due to lack of projectile visibility. I like the light effects !!

Rashness by Saering 2019-04-30T22:18:12Z

Really simple idea, awesome realization. I think it is first time yet for this theme that I really had to think about finding the right balance between life loss and upgrades. The mechanics are overall really great, the art too. Yet I don't like when the boss disappear, it is impossible to predict what he will do, and it feels a bit unfair. Also I really don't know about the mouse click, bullet hell with kind of auto fire is easier and handier, so I understand the idea of making it more difficult by clicking every time, but this such a pain x) Overall bery very nice work, I really like it!

The Last Dragon by FlyingKiwi 2019-04-30T20:09:47Z

That is a really great parallax effect here! It contributes to create a real nice atmosphere, quite unique with this weird orange dragon in this creepy forest :) Also really good plus of thinking a game for mobile devices! It might just need a correction on the jumping mechanic as it feels a bit laggy, but great contribution.

BloodVirus by Team-on 2019-04-30T20:25:41Z

OK this is impressive. You guys are crazy to try doing a RTS in a jam ;) I like the idea, I like the potential, and I clearly played much more time that I thought I would x) There are some visibility and comprehension issues, that is really not a problem for a jam RTS, however for me the How to play button was broken so I really missed some information:) Anyway, keep going guys!

Sick Business by very dark lord 2019-05-01T14:55:46Z

This is so great, had much fun with this game! Despite its appearance, it is way simpler and intuitive that I thought, and going through minigames is just excellent! The general atmosphere is awesome, as the graphics, and the games remind me how great playing WarioWare was. Keep going like this, I could continue for hours!

Notorious Bum by Barbiche 2019-10-10T10:41:00Z

Thanks all for your kindly comments! @coffeedrinkers me too actually! Didn't have the time to add another level though :) Maybe for a release version!!

Notorious Bum by Barbiche 2019-10-12T21:16:25Z

Aww @norris-eldridge so sad to hear... We realized we had some troubles with our html export, tried solving some issues with the updated version but seems like everything is not covered yet. Maybe it depends of the browser, you might try with Chrome if not already. But thanks for your review!! :)

Medieval City Sim by coffeedrinkers 2019-10-10T10:47:13Z

Your idea is really great! It is really interesting, and overall a really good job. Points to be reviewed are already in other comments :)

The Void by Norris Eldridge 2019-10-12T21:26:49Z

That was great, loved it! Very good work on sounds and arts, and the game is pleasant to play overall. I can now say to my emo friends that I saw the void. And he is scary

Witchcraft: the Collecting by theufo 2019-10-10T10:56:07Z

It is a interesting concept! Who care of playing with the cards as long as you can collect them? :D In general I really enjoyed, you can spend much time on it without realizing. The minigame during the card battle is a good idea to keep the player engaged too. Would really need an upgrade on sorting the cards so that you can organize your collection better and sell what you have. Nice job overall!

Seedvilization by graslany 2019-10-12T21:38:09Z

Astonishing entry!! Enjoyed it so much. The mechanic is known but it is so pleasant to play! This works as a very great adaptation to the theme, with great graphics, and polished code as it is really fluent and enjoyable to play with.

Heartbeat by LukasDonkers 2020-04-21T16:15:00Z

That's super super great! I do love rythm games besides :) The feeling is sweet, the idea is very cool, that's a frank success!

Flower Power by jharler 2020-04-21T17:11:01Z

You will clearly make a lot of smiles with this game :) That was a great experience! I am wondering if, particularly for a kids' game, you should have added an arrow or something to indicate where the monster is, in case you're lost. Very good job !

Trap-o-mancy by karreg 2020-04-21T11:20:11Z

DUDE. This is awesome. The game is super original, appealing, and the game is super greatly executed. You've pointed an excellent concept for a future release !!

Breaking Point by R3L0ad1 2020-04-22T17:30:53Z

I liked that, quick and efficient, that's cool! I really like the music choice, it's quite relaxing. An interesting choice. Good job!

Morose by 100th_Coin 2020-04-21T16:55:59Z

Very beautiful, I really loved your game! The graphics are great and the game is super smooth, I am impressed by this result :) Good luck for the future !

Continuity by LogFlames 2020-04-22T17:52:12Z

On a technical side the game is super great! I loved the planets, and mostly I loved the star lights, + the cool music it really gave a "space" sensation. Really cool! The idea is well executed, but I quickly felt that my actions were a bit "useless". But I'm quite sure with some additional components the game would be really awesome! Good work!

Abidance by Kriss 2020-04-21T16:37:36Z

Nice game, controls are nice and the light usage is very good!

A lost fire by Barbiche 2020-04-22T11:47:22Z

@ben-taylor thanks, capsules are nuts !

@alferbayter Glad you enjoyed the animation, it was real fun doing it !

@itskdog I am surprised actually of the power of just some piano notes! Thanks a lot for playing.

A lost fire by Barbiche 2020-04-25T17:14:18Z

Thanks all for your reviews! Indeed the controls are a pain. I had a lot of troubles having a good third-person control system, + the fact I wanted it to come from me (and not from a distant package), it leads to this situation. I will train for next time.

DAVAI DAVAI by p0l4r 2020-04-21T10:37:26Z

I like the concept and the visual. Simple, but with style ! Controls are a bit weird I suppose :D But overall great job guys!

BLOOM ETERNAL by samboyer276 2020-04-22T18:02:37Z

It was so great! You guys made me wanna try PICO 8 dev now x) Audio was awesome, graphics were neat, and although I also feel it to be a bit "frustrating difficult", it was really a great play. Awesome job!

Raising the bar by SpaceMonkey 2020-04-21T11:01:09Z

I like alcohol, so I liked mixing all these stuffs together ! Overall it's nice, but it took me way to much time understanding I could buy other slots to mix stuff (the one for a new bar is great, but the small one it took me 10 minutes until I saw the overlay). From this point it was indeed more fun :D

Parenting Crash Course by hollowspecter 2020-04-25T17:34:43Z

SO COOOOOOOL hahahaha send some times to see a baby die was so awesome haha It was great, thank you for this game guys

Amalgamage by TheWustache 2020-04-21T10:41:47Z

Dude I love this game, the idea is cool and the art is great !

It Hungers by arkinrev 2020-04-25T17:25:54Z

Great works, you put a lot of efforts in the effects of combat, and it was fun to play! Indeed would be awesome with sound effects, it would add a lot of punch in the fight. Cool compo game, keep creating !

Running Old Game On Windows 10 Simulator 2020 by Kszaku 2020-04-21T19:51:21Z

OK I actually liked it haha I'm surprised :D I think this idea following this theme of "Keep it alive" is really excellent and well thought, and it's a very good message you tried to pass here. Now I think indeed you could have gone a bit further in the concept, although I admit it could be hard for a lot (you know, the normal people, not us)

Viva La Revolution! by WilhelmStein 2020-04-23T11:36:51Z

THIS. IS. AWESOME. I freaking love the pixel art, the music, (and the theme and the message behind it ooooops), the game is really well executed and interesting! I felt it a bit messy at the beginning though. For example, you can fire your influencers fine, but the graphics helper show what you will gain when firing them, it would have been more useful to see how they contribute each day instead. After some games you're use to these of course.

Again I really loved it so congrats!!!

MOTHER QUACKER by ZMVL 2020-04-21T11:06:39Z

The duck is great, the jazz touch is AWESOME, and I love the quacks. Great!

Feed Me More! by Itskdog 2020-04-22T17:38:13Z

Grats for your first jam! The game core mechanic is quite cool, but at some point the monster really annoyed me saying he was hungry all the time x) Nice entry though !!

Flame Bearer by canti 2020-04-23T11:45:36Z

This is a great concept congrats ! I liked the art a lot, indeed to bad we don't have music but it will be super solid soon if you continue it as you said :) Definitely a lot of potential. Good job ;)

Floating Puffer by just-stanley 2020-04-25T17:20:30Z

Great, I love the effort you put on the crab leg animation x) the concept is cool and well executed, well done. Was the music a remix of "Cruel Summer" from the Bananarama ? It's awesome haha

Heart Kicker by The Iddmeister 2020-04-22T11:44:07Z

This game is AWESOME, I mean it. I am very impressed by the work you've done here, struggling myself on 2D controllers like this for other projects. The art is minimal but works nicely, and the music rocks. Really nice job ! The only thing I could tell is that I really don't like having a black screen + retry button on a 2D speedrun hardcore platformer. That cuts the rythm and it's not necessary. Anyway congrats!

BLOBIUS by chaoclypse 2020-10-06T16:29:03Z

Your game is really special actually. In one hand I think it's great. Visuals are great, controls are simple, precise yet it manages to create a very interesting challenge. Also the slowdown when approaching a bullet is awesome and satisfying! But on the other hand, I felt completly overwhelmed after one or two tries. I think your visual are great but maybe is it too much? I don't know. Overall I like almost everything independently but in its globality, I wasn't stuck to it. Really great work no matter what, I felt you put hard work on your compo!

Moby's Trip by blaster391 2020-10-08T17:37:52Z

I admit, I went into this game because of the synthwave :sweat_smile: Graphics are cool, the sun is pretty nice and the overall mood was well set. I also liked the three cars :) Music is great as well, some variety and it fits very well in the mood. For the game itself, overall I felt good things, but I would say it lacks on some details to make the experience really engaging. Well I know how hard it can be to make this car physics works though ^^ but indeed it really lacks a strafe / turning animation. Currently it is right in the middle of, one side the thrill of speed, and other side a precise racing game where the goal is perfect track completion (and I agree with other comments though, I think part of it is cause of the randomness of the obstacles). Overall I wonder if maybe you should have focused on only one but perfect track? I can feel the love you put in this game though, and I imagine you had a lot of fun doing so :D That's quite a nice entry, keep up !

Beat Bash by Overlook Studios 2020-10-08T16:57:07Z

That was great guys! The idea is great, there is indeed quite some potential for multiplayer mode and further. This is a nice loop which catches really well until the boss fight (and that was great), didn't really feel like continuing the loop over and over again though. The art is GREAT, really. Animations are nuts and there are some really good details. The overall UI is pretty cool as well. However readability is a bit an issue, most obvious example for me is the tutorial, I like these kind of images / charts for the visual, but man I clicked the tutorial button before playing I was totally lost x) Music is great and well fitting, I love the smooth evolution throughout the terrains. Great synchro with the game as well !! Overall I really liked your entry ! Kind of game I would prefer playing a definitive edition on mobile with a lot more features :3 Thanks for this game and good job!

Brick'd Out by Game Endeavor 2020-10-06T16:17:05Z

Nice game, I like the concept, fits perfectly to the theme and it works well! Visuals are great too. The bar movements are kind of disturbing though, I don't really know why, it might need some polish. Great overall !

Neo City Express by Pedro Medeiros 2023-05-04T09:15:46Z

Well, I'm a huge fan of your respective works in general, so when I saw the entry on Twitter I tried it immediately.

I expected to play an excellent entry for this jam. Instead, I've played the best game so far of the year.

I'm truly amazed and overexcited. This is a masterclass. Congratulations and thank you for this entry.
