Leonardo's Space AdVinci by rucksack 2026-10-21T14:34:17Z ♥ 2

What a nice entry! Once I started playing I could not stop, simple but very very effective. If I must name a flaw I would say that the music became a bit repetitive by the end of it. However, this does not affect the greatness of the game at all! The orbital mechanics are very polished and is satisfying to see the ship´s parts floating around from previous attempts. I wonder if there could be a level with complicated orbital fields that would require you to see where the previous pieces are floating to know how the gravity is behaving? (maybe a weird planet that shifts gravity at some intervals and you must use the parts as visual cues to know if the planet has a pull in one direction or another). I could very well see this as a complete entry and would love to see more of these puzzles. Good job!

Scavenger by kayrum 2026-10-21T14:13:17Z ♥ 1

Who doesn´t love grappling hooks in video games? This game unlocked a core memory of me playing Worms Armaggedon with my father and using the grappling gun in crazy ways. It´s amazing how well implemented the grappling mechanics are. As others have said, some of the sections are quite challenging. However, I do appreciate the polish in the mechanics and the game is very fun nevertheless! The pixelart is pretty with nice lighting effects. If I have to say anything negative is that I would have liked to hear some banger sountrack with this entry! I think it would have fit well. However, I completely understand that gamejams have limitations and audio is not easy to do, so good job to the developers on this detailed and well-polished game!

Plane Trip by boids 2026-10-21T14:01:27Z ♥ 0

This game sort of reminds me of Luftrausers (and that is a very good thing!). The controls are a bit hard to get at first, as others have said dropping bombs may be a better introduction to the game's mechanics (after all, what does not move is easier to hit, right?). I love the tiny details in the flight mechanics like how flying too sharply upwards may cause the plane to spiral out of control. Overall a quite polished and interesting entry.

Obsolete Absolute by skigfx 2026-10-21T13:40:37Z ♥ 0

Graphics and music were very polished. Seems like a full release game! Also I like the theme of progressing through the tech tree in a literal way, unlocking not only better weapons but more modern ones along the way. However, the gameplay was quite repetitive especially at the beginning. I think it serves no purpose to move so slow and have such limited inventory at initial stages. Also the gates mechanic expects you to gather large quantities of materials and bring them back to the machine which makes you retrace steps very often. The game has a lot of potential and fun progression but the start demands too much patience and grind of the player.

Morse Strike by estelgames 2026-10-21T13:20:26Z ♥ 1

Very original and nice game. I was captivated by the art style and stayed for the fun and polished experience. At first I did not realize that you could send only one command (either row or column) to change the airplane's position which made it a bit hard but once i figured it out it was very satisfying. I feel like the dashes could be a bit quicker since I tended to avoid numbers like 1 or 2 due to the high amount of time I had to spend on them compared to something like 5, E or I. I don't know if less pauses would make inputs too hard though. The upgrade system felt very rewarding (if a bit overpowered, which is understandable for such a short experience) and gave the satisfying feeling of a power trip. Very nice entry!

LD60 - Switchboard Hell! by nevertoucharunningsystem 2026-10-21T13:01:04Z ♥ 0

I come here from the post about switchboard games as we also published one. I have to say, for a solo dev it is quite impressive what you have achieved. The art stile is simple but nice and the gameplay is solid. This game really just lacks a bit of polish like visual cues for when a call has been properly connected or some background music would be nice as well. However, as I said it is very solid for a solo dev's first submission as is. You should feel proud and keep iterating on it. Nice job!

The Switchboard Operator by Isline 2026-10-21T12:52:06Z ♥ 0

It is inspiring to see a switchboard game with such a different pacing to our submission. I love the art style as it gives a very nice ambient to it. The mechanics of looking up addresses in cities is something we did not think of and is quite a nice addition to the gameplay. However, I wish there would be more wires to manage as the downtime between calls can feel a bit repetitive at times.
