Curse of Apep by cogcomp 2021-10-04T20:44:07Z

I'm definitely intrigued, this is like a fever dream. For some reason all the sprites are squished with their normal map showing below, but with the trippy music I didn't even realize it (I thought all enemies were balancing on pink and blue soda cans for some reason, because why not?). The levels are somewhat confusing, but I appreciate that they offer so many solutions; it definitely suits the theme when you push a block the wrong way and accidentally fall through the ground into your goal. It straddles the line where I'm never sure if I'm doing what I'm "intended" to do. At the volcano level (it's shaped like a volcano with two thick platforms along the center passage) I keep falling through the floor though, which crashes the game. Is there a level select? I really wanna try to beat this game.

Surprisingly addictive! Got a bit overwhelming at the last level, but I beat that one by brute force and luck. There's a whole lot of strategy in here for those who can think many steps ahead, and the unpredictability of the color switching makes it very tense. Also really digging the landscapes in the background and the way the music perfectly fits, especially in the later levels when you get into the zone. Some things that could be useful in an expanded version: - a speed-up button for the earlier levels - clearer indicator for where each arrow is pointing (maybe the selected track could be highlighted?) - a pause button, and ideally an end screen after each level That's all I can think of, very charming and challenging game!

Pretty charming in terms of sound and art, and I appreciate being able to speed up and slow down in a game like this. I do feel like the boat turns way too slowly though, after a few hundred meters there's not enough time to dodge even if you start to turn as soon as you see a rock.

A Towering Climb by Hefka 2021-10-04T21:40:47Z

I dig the concept and the music! Somewhat buggy though; moving platforms can be climbed, the list of conditions dissapears on death, some conditions don't seem to work (such as "darkened room") and on level 7 there was no ground under the spawn point so I got stuck in an infinite death loop.

Horse To Home by tims 2021-10-04T21:28:34Z

Very funny idea! The physics feel a bit wonky, but with some sound effects and some variation to the levels (like having the pens change location and size) it could be a pretty fun time!

The teleporting jump is driving me nuts, because this game has tons of charm, and despite the wonky collision the levels are pretty well-designed (well, I couldn't beat the second one, but what I saw definitely had potential)!
