LD46 — Keep it alive

I'm really impressed that you managed to make an entertaining and challenging puzzle game in 72 hours! The music and mood is awesome. If you ironed out the bugs and polished it up a little I'd pay good money for it. Well done :)

Bonfire 🔥 by ColinBellino 2020-04-21T12:59:01Z

I love this game. The art style is cute and distinct. The sound effects are fun, and given the limited time you did an awesome job exploring the different consequences of the puzzle mechanic. I also love the interpretation of the theme! Burning down huge chunks of forest is super satisfying so I'd love to see a score at the end of each level based on how many trees you burned down to encourage players to do so. Excellent job 5 stars

Wow, that is a crazy polished game, well done

Clive's Flight by Ben Newington 2020-04-21T14:34:25Z

Thank you everyone for your very kind feedback! This was our first jam (and first game) ever. We were very rushed to finished it and published it in a very buggy state. Nevertheless we're still very happy with how it turned out and are continuing to work on it. If anyone wants to play a less buggy version that runs in browser you can do that here: https://clivethebird.itch.io/clives-flight

We will continue to update the project on that page

Clive's Flight by Ben Newington 2020-04-22T14:00:37Z

@nazorus @maaya

Thank you for your kind reviews :)

You need to hover near cherries for a while before you collect them

They should wiggle when you are close enough :)

Very fun game, I agree with the others that the controls could use some tweaking. I'm really impressed with the amount of content you were able to implement in 72 hours, so many different enemies and abilities! I'm a huge fan of the art style too. Well done :)

Mr. Fluff by Nazorus 2020-04-24T11:28:13Z

Love this game! It reminds me of old school flash games. You could say you're keeping them alive since flash is dying this year. I love how there are no visible meters for Mr Fluff's wellbeing, getting to know his needs from the way he looks/moves makes me feel so attached!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Vertigo by GaryS 2021-04-28T13:40:26Z

The music, sound and graphics are awesome! i like the little hehe he does when you get a statue. Easy to understand and it feels very polished well done !

Deeper and Deeper into Outer Space by TheMightyTrout 2021-04-27T00:00:57Z

eh its alright

Mycelisation by bereg 2021-04-27T14:24:42Z

great game ! it looks and sounds awesome and was satisfying to complete :)

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Bonanananza by shieldgenerator7 2022-04-05T20:44:32Z

The graphics were cute and it looks super polished ! unfortunately it might be bugged :( there are way too many bonobos and I die pretty quick :(

Helly Belly by lootgrounds 2022-04-06T11:58:17Z

This is my favourite game in the jam so far ! A really unique idea that's very fun to play. It felt so polished as well, I love all the themes and the music. Well done :D

Tilted Saloon by Vitor Milioni 2022-04-05T16:21:13Z

Great game ! the art is fantastic and I really liked the idea. Only suggestion is to randomly vary the pitch of the sound effects by a small amount each time they are played. It can sound a little odd hearing the exact same sound over and over. Good job !!

Blasty Tag by GreenPig 2022-04-05T20:36:33Z

I really like this game :D its fast paced and exciting and the music is great. My only frustration is when the AI pushes me into a corner and I get stuck :( great job !

Lucky Lefty Loves Late-night Literature by TheBookSnail 2022-04-05T16:06:22Z

Adorable game, I always died due to lack of heat because sticks are the hardest to collect. The art is super cute

Last Stand by TheMightyTrout 2022-04-05T09:32:54Z

@math1369 Thanks for your review ! Our initial idea was actually reverse angry birds haha

Last Stand by TheMightyTrout 2022-04-05T09:43:16Z

@cad Thanks for your review ! The hit detection code was soooo buggy for most of the development so I'm glad you noticed it :D

Rage Against The Cocoon by JoeDev 2022-04-05T15:45:53Z

Very funny and cute :) also super polished, I loved the little details like icons for the button press prompts and stuff. There was a weird bug I experienced where Josepi stood up on his hind legs like he was pretending to be human lmao. The dialogue was great and I would love to play Josepi again :D

What Have You Drawn? by MrPouletBZH 2022-04-05T08:50:24Z

This is such a cool game ! with a unique take on the theme and unique mechanics. Some of my favourite art so far this jam

Above the clouds by Radowicht 2022-04-05T17:28:43Z

Cool game ! I really like the controls, and the game has a very peaceful atmosphere. Unfortunately the results won't show up on the leaderboard for me but my high score was around 4000 :) My only complaint is that the camera kind of clips through the player model causing you to see little segments of it in the first person view. Other than that excellent job ! A really cool take on the theme. I'm especially impressed that you managed a start/end screen and a leaderboard in a jam game.

A Ship Out of Time by deighta 2022-04-05T00:21:57Z

The upgrade system is quite cool, one suggestion would be to telegraph where the enemies are going to come through just before they do, so you don't die unexpectedly. The music and art are awesome :D

Ecollapse by Daniel Robledo 2022-04-06T12:11:17Z

Cool game ! The art is super cute and its a cool take on the theme. I agree with the others that the tree growth could be a bit clearer visually. Well done, feels very polished :D

Tominrigg Tactics by Dan Allison 2022-04-05T08:35:34Z

This is an amazing game ! especially for only 1 developer. The heroes have so much character, you did a great job making them all feel unique. P.S. the art is awesome
