Beat Boss! by AfroAnt 2019-10-07T17:29:34Z

For some reason they keys don't work all the time, but I can see the word "attack" show up on screen, still no hits occur!

Also it was kind of difficult with a 1 hit kill lol :P

But the idea fits the theme, and character movement seemed nice and comfortable :)

Ultra Quest by 100th_Coin 2019-10-07T19:51:27Z

Amazing work on the graphics and the sfx! Although short, I really enjoyed the speedrun stats at the end and the difference in weapon mechanics for each levels. Each level felt fleshed out and polished.

Boss fights were a joke tho :P I got 6 death from normal enemies an 0 death from bosses hehe, might've just gotten lucky.

Nice work, keep it up :)

Thief! by MaximBegunov 2019-10-07T18:33:56Z

Super cool entry!

Getting the thievery to stop on the green is really difficult while following the people, also wasn't sure those blue-edge people are police, but I suspected it. Kind of difficult, but I really liked it. Could've used some minimal background music.

Keep it up :)

The Card Crafter by Grhyll 2019-10-07T19:23:54Z

Love it! Fire emblem/Hearthstone merge in a way.

Sometimes it seems to auto attack enemies in range and sometimes I have to initiate it, not sure if intentional or not :)

I'd really like to play a game like this WITH SOUND and some more polished graphics!

Great work :)

Zero/Hero by Beshr Kayali 2019-10-07T17:54:06Z

@grhyll Thakns! And yes! Sorry for not providing a binary, but you literally just need to download Love2d first and open it once, then you can open an .love game :)

Zero/Hero by Beshr Kayali 2019-10-07T17:54:50Z

@randdir thanks :) yeah, box2d was probably too much for this, might've been way easier to do it without any physics.

Zero/Hero by Beshr Kayali 2019-10-07T18:04:36Z

@grhyll @idk-what-im-doing Win executable added :)

Zero/Hero by Beshr Kayali 2019-10-07T18:37:58Z

@idk-what-im-doing Thanks. Yeah physics was a totally wrong decision for this one, but initially i wanted it to be different, but ended up not having enough time to polish it.

I tried to give hints "not all bricks are bricks", because the last brick in that area is passable basically :)

Zero/Hero by Beshr Kayali 2019-10-07T19:57:04Z

@crunchykingcobra thank you :) totally agreed, physics is kind of weird, kep thinking I'll have enough time to polish it and balance it out but never did. Shouldn't have used physics at all for a simple platformer.

Delta Test Site by Derek Volker 2019-10-07T19:08:38Z

Music is really nice, and the graphics too. I know this is probably because of the theme, but it's really annoying to have to walk around too much to get things to open :)

Some terminals can be enabled without knowing really what I enabled, just might be nice to have some on screen message about that.

Also text is kind of too similar to background, somewhat difficult to read.

All in all, nice work :)

Strange Adventure by randdir 2019-10-07T17:20:08Z

Interesting concept! I really like the atmosphere and the music, it's gripping enough to make me try replay around 6 times because I kept hitting a deadend and redirected to main menu :joy: The conversation flows nicely (apart from a couple of spelling mistakes). The graphics are pretty cool and are fitting with the atmosphere.

It seems a bit too short though, or maybe I couldn't find the proper conversation tree?

I'd definitely like to see a more complete version of this, maybe with checkpoints so I don't have to start over everytime I go down the wrong conversation path.

Primordial by Muse en Lystrala 2019-10-07T19:18:02Z

Nice work! I liked reading the story and the sketches were nice and appropriate :) I'd like to see a more fleshed out version of this :)

Ürsoup by J0ye 2019-10-07T18:18:08Z

Nice work! Really like the idea of and the atmosphere, took me a bit too long to figure out that I need to ingest those air bubbles to grow, and those damn toothbrush-like enemies are kinda fast, but it only makes it more fun. Needs some more sfx and varying enemy types maybe. But nice work, I'd like to see more of this :)

Greta by jihem 2019-10-07T17:48:21Z

Nice work! Love Pico 8 :) Pretty cool little game, the variation of tools really adds to it, although I didn't really get what to pick up with what tool from the start. Love the graphics. Would've been nice to have some simple background music tho, but understandable considering time limit!

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

Just A Minute by Skalex 2019-10-07T17:41:18Z

This was a fun one, although I didn't finish it completely, I think I got far enough tho, BALOOONS!

Would've been nice if you allowed the game to auto-restart after it goes white at the end of the minute :)

Vr.Punk by Ravenjm 2019-10-07T18:48:08Z

Really fun game! I also got an error running shaders-version (but I'm running with Wine on Linux).

Reminds me of Vvvvv for some reason. I really like how you can switch with spacebar mid-jump basically to avoid those spikes. Gun/bullets seemed a bit out of context visually, and kind of too big for the guy and his gun lol.

All in all, nice work :)

Leptogenesis by NiKaDra 2019-10-07T19:15:10Z

Damn! This is a really nice one! Very cool concept and the tutorial is fantastic and to the point.

It can get super hectic as material appears and more and more antimatter collides, I think it would've been nice if old material could merge together and become like the ground or some other things around you, but that might be for a later update. And slow-down time bar kind of gets emptied too fast ;)

Awesome work!

LEGION by crunchykingcobra 2019-10-07T20:05:53Z

Amazing graphics. Love the concept and the gameplay mechanic, could've been cool to have matrix-like dodging but not really that necessary, its' really fun as is :)

Great work!

Happy jumper by Trito 2019-10-07T18:26:37Z

Really nice entry!

I like how things became more obvious when it got glasses (I think there's a really neat seed for a nice game idea in that).

The music is calming and fitting!

Good work :)

Unlock by RetroBarbare 2019-10-07T19:41:43Z

"Yes, like Vvvvv" :joy: I loled

Very fun idea :) I enjoyed the narrative to get to level 1. It was somewhat too difficult with edge-death by those yellow bars and intense gravity. But really nice work :thumbsup:

There is no beginning without "Nothing" by VavouZen 2019-10-08T16:58:33Z

Pretty cute game :) Kind of difficult to figure what to type in, so maybe could've used some hints?

Nice work :)

w, a, s, d by virtual assistant 2019-10-07T17:23:55Z

I can't tell if it's broken or I just can't figure out how to play it.

Maybe you should provide a gameplay video for those of us who can't figure out how to get this working :P
