Super Mutant Horse by cannashblue 2021-10-05T17:30:42Z ♥ 1
The horse was definitely unstable to control, but other than that the general movement and combat were quite solid, other than couple of times when the rope refused to go where I wanted it to go. The graphics were great, but the framerate seemed a bit unstable(heh), though this could be just my laptop. The music was quite endearing and the game itself was quite well put together as a whole. Good job!

A terrifying concept executed phenomenally well. I really enjoyed it -- fits the theme perfectly and certainly stands out with its mood. I'm a sucker for analog horror and similar stuff, so it's right up my alley as well! The technical implementation of the sounds blew my mind; amazingly done for a jam project.
Good Boy eats the treat. by RobbzenOne 2022-04-20T20:33:36Z ♥ 1
Unbearably adorable -- fantastic work on the aesthetics! The scale is perfect for a jam game and the theme is represented perfectly; the good boy MUST get the treat, after all. A very coherent whole that was a delight to play.
FWOG by Corrupt Spaghetti 2022-04-20T20:28:49Z ♥ 1
A clever twist on the original (in both title and gameplay) with plenty of character. The distance being measured in centimeters adds so much to the hilarity -- and futility -- of the experience. Nice work!
IBYH!? by Trabasura 2022-04-20T14:55:15Z ♥ 2
Love the look and sound of the game! The theme is highlighted excellently by both the narrative and genre. One of my favorites all jam. There could have been more variety to the microgames, but they were still a blast. Wonderfully done!
Procrabstination by sebastianscaini 2022-04-20T14:45:01Z ♥ 2
A laugh-out-loud experience that looks excellent and really gets the theme right. There's a lot of stuff to do for a jam game, too! My only gripe is that it contains a lot of mashing, which isn't exactly accessible (something to keep in mind for your next jam), but overall a fun game. Well done!
Divine Rain by Jackaljk 2022-04-20T14:36:50Z ♥ 1
A fun concept that does quite a lot with quite a little -- it's simple but effective, which is the sign of a successful jam. Disliked the mashing mechanic though, having slight accessibility problems -- something to consider for your next project!
The Lars Mission by Honest Dan 2022-04-20T14:25:21Z ♥ 2
Incredibly smooth both aesthetically and mechanically for a jam submission! The tasks are mostly fun and engaging, and the theme is represented quite well.
Nightwaker by Bottled up Dark Peace 2022-04-19T20:25:21Z ♥ 2
A solid idea presented very well. Really nails the mood. Bonus points for the custom keybinding option!
Battery Low by Milestone Games 2022-04-19T20:18:26Z ♥ 4
What an adorable game. It's gorgeous to look at and listen to (especially love the little "ouch")! The mechanics are interesting and the theme is represented very strongly. I would definitely play more of this -- wonderful work!
Perseverance by ql28 2022-04-19T20:09:18Z ♥ 1
It looks and sounds fabulous -- you really got the mood right! It gets the theme across quite well, too. The writing is nice and really helps establish the atmosphere you're going for, but sometimes there's not enough time for the amount of text on screen at once before it fades out automatically. Some prompts were also simply unattainable for yours truly (thanks, bad hands!). All in all, it's a coherent, enjoyable submission with a nice message as well.
The Gallows by Burn Tree 2022-04-19T15:09:25Z ♥ 1
A touching and poignant game with phenomenal presentation. The writing is effective; the graphics and sound design are perfect for the theme and topics. My only issues were the slightly awkward movement and a glitch where the scene change wouldn't apparently trigger properly -- the "press any key" prompt kept throwing errors and took a bit of fiddling. Altogether a very coherent, well-made, and memorable submission that's got the theme and mood completely down!
Beyond The Veil by Hare Software 2022-04-19T14:51:50Z ♥ 2
Incredible work. The first thing that caught my eye was the game's look, but the writing and voice acting take it even further. The overall quality is astounding. Mechanically it's deep enough to keep things interesting for the game's duration. Really solid for a jam game!
Akashica by Skruffye 2022-04-19T14:39:19Z ♥ 1
Thoroughly thrilled to see well-written interactive fiction among the submissions. This was without a doubt one of this jam's highlights for me, and not just because I'm a sucker for the subject matter. The theme is such a core part of the game, and the tone does wonders to support it as well. I'll certainly be experiencing it again to see how much the game does with its procedural nature -- for now, however, I'll extend kudos for its incredible quality.
Drama Crusade by Stenblood 2022-04-19T14:26:31Z ♥ 1
Aesthetically a bit messy (although some of it is certainly intentional) and structurally a bit confusing, but overall a unique game that's well executed for an RPGMaker project. You nailed the mood category for sure.
Doctor Dilly-Dally by Sine Nomine 2022-04-19T14:20:03Z ♥ 1
The line deliveries, dedicated cough and mumble keys, and general look made this a standout in my eyes. The theme comes across really well and in a manner I haven't really seen from other games this jam. As others have noted out, some feedback of when you're doing something right would've been nice, but ultimately I thought it added to the awkward atmosphere. The submission's sense of humor combined with its fun premise made me very happy I didn't miss this one!
Grapecheese by jandourek 2022-04-19T14:14:34Z ♥ 1
Visually it's one of my favorites from this jam. There are some clunky elements that together make it a bit difficult to really enjoy, though: abrupt transitions, awkward sound implementation, no ability to turn off text scrolling, and esc just flat-out closing the game among others. It's a solid submission with a hefty amount of content, however! Nice work.
Shotgun King: the Final Checkmate by benjamin 2022-04-19T14:03:55Z ♥ 1
It's impossible to say something about this that hasn't already been said. Easily one of my favorite submissions of this jam. The aesthetics are phenomenal, the core gameplay is clever, and the setting is interesting. The quality across the board is incredibly high for a jam project. Playing this was a blast.
Reapers & Retirees by Carraka 2022-04-19T13:57:58Z ♥ 1
An amazing concept -- the theme is really front-and-center! The genre is also a great fit for the theme and enhances it mechanically (it's why we went with tower defense for our submission as well, heh)! The gameplay is kept fresh by having to juggle the different characters, resources, and mechanics. The individual characters are a treat to control and watch; not only are their designs wonderfully quirky, but their personalities come through in their dialogue very well.
Overall, congratulations on a great submission.
It's Not Me It's You by John Livingston 2022-04-19T13:46:45Z ♥ 0
A fun premise with hilarious presentation. Everything from the (literal) menus to the control schemes was fun to explore. A well-made, chaotic, and thoroughly entertaining submission that doesn't outstay its welcome.
WHEN NANA SAYS IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL by alyd asmar 2022-04-19T13:38:22Z ♥ 3
I absolutely loved this. An incredible concept and executed very well. It had my attention from start to finish and was a delight to play. One of the most unique jam projects I've had the pleasure of experiencing, and one that left me craving for more of this kind of stuff in general. Really well done for a jam game -- it really shows how creativity can go a long way!
Post Solis by Nikolay Zapolnov 2022-04-19T13:28:58Z ♥ 5
An astoundingly complex and polished game for a jam project. It looks great, has real depth to its mechanics, and plays like the biggest hitters in the same league. The UI is phenomenal, as it's very clean and helps digest the vast amounts of information and resources you need to use. A neat concept developed and honed beyond what I thought was possible for a jam game.
Dont Wake Up! by Bloham 2022-04-19T13:23:10Z ♥ 3
The environment and sound design really stood out in this one. The gameplay was quite dull, however -- it could have used a few twists to keep it fresh, as waking up felt like being released. The theme is represented well, though!
Campfire by Shadowcast 2022-04-10T22:57:06Z ♥ 1
A wonderful short experience. It's well-written and looks great; the jam theme is a core part of the game's make-up. The campfire is an amazing way to pace the dialogue and separate topics, not to mention functioning as an effective metaphor, even if not particularly subtle (it doesn't always have to be!). Definitely one of the games I'll have the fondest memories of from this jam -- great work for a game with such a tight schedule!
I Sink Not by eeldam 2022-04-10T17:54:48Z ♥ 2
An astonishingly deep game for a jam project. The mechanics have real complexity, the theme is strongly present, and it looks and sounds good to boot! It takes a bit to get acquainted with all the different parts, but it's very replayable and quite rewarding. The only thing I feel it's missing is a clearer, more polished UI -- outside that, this is one of my favorite submissions so far.
The Apocawiz by shadow64 2022-04-10T17:36:21Z ♥ 1
A fun game! It looks delightful and plays pretty well. Indeed, mashing the shoot key gets tiresome quite fast, but I'd like to commend you for taking all the feedback into account and treating it as a learning experience!
SILAS by googlypoo 2022-04-10T17:31:07Z ♥ 1
A clever game, excellent work for a first-time entry! It looks and sounds good, the writing is solid, and it keeps the attention with its puzzles. My only gripe is the lack of a "view map" option, but otherwise a commendable submission!
Fly and Dive by SeabirdDigital 2022-04-10T16:58:50Z ♥ 1
A simple idea with great execution. It handles well and it's quite fun (although my depth perception fails me even with the shadows).
Tamaghost Jump! by Kaiyaki 2022-04-10T16:58:15Z ♥ 2
Astoundingly cute in its look and feel, but gets the spooky vibes right as well! Thoroughly polished aesthetically and the theme is represented quite well. Gameplay-wise, the jump arc is a bit hard to get used to and even some early jumps are perhaps unnecessarily tricky, but I enjoyed it a lot overall -- will recommend.
Runic Moon by pke1029 2022-04-10T16:38:41Z ♥ 1
Simple and elegant; very aesthetically pleasing, too. The gameplay loop could use a few twists to keep it fresh for longer, but overall a neat game!
Pizza Gal by No Grapes Games 2022-04-07T22:30:00Z ♥ 1
The character design is great, and the icon on the bottom right really takes advantage of it; the turning animation is a wonderful little detail too. The sound design is nice as well and the premise is fun. The only thing I'd wish for is a smoother level transition -- even just a fade -- as it's a little jarring as is. Overall a really solid submission!
Hymenoptera King by Skleembof 2022-04-07T22:24:02Z ♥ 1
Wonderful presentation. Playing it was genuinely fun, although getting the hang of it took a while. The theme comes through quite well. It's missing small touches like clearer instructions and perhaps sound effects to make things feel really tactile, but it was a pleasant experience regardless.
RIG WRECKENING by WhyNot 2022-04-07T22:12:10Z ♥ 2
I'm a sucker for this kind of look, and the sound design only makes it better. The controls might need a bit of fine-tuning. The theme is represented nicely, though, and overall the game was a treat.
This heatwave will last all summer by videodotexe 2022-04-07T21:56:31Z ♥ 1
The game looks fantastic. The topic is both extremely fitting and relevant.
I agree with the rest that a restart option would improve the experience noticeably. Nice work overall, though!
Gods of Discord by Ghatazorg 2022-04-07T21:52:17Z ♥ 2
The premise is fun, as are many pieces of art and writing! Sometimes it's not very clear what you're actually being asked, though, and the gameplay could use a refreshing twist. I also ran into a bug with the game automatically choosing for me in a couple of cases (a choice was made as soon as the text and portrait came up).
The length of the game is perfect for an homage, though.
The March to heaven by damakuno 2022-04-07T21:15:29Z ♥ 2
Profoundly touching. The theme is front and center, and the polish is astounding for a jam game. A bittersweet, very memorable experience, and not only by jam game standards. Congratulations on a job well done!
Under Performer by Allax 2022-04-07T21:09:16Z ♥ 1
The sense of urgency is relayed very well! The art direction is also very fitting.
My gripes with the game are mostly with the controls; while getting stuck to the plethora of office furniture adds to the (likely intended) chaos, it's quite frustrating in the long run, as is the mashing minigame at the printer. Another possible improvement would be clearing up the instructions a bit.
What Have You Drawn? by MrPouletBZH 2022-04-07T21:01:07Z ♥ 4
The mood is very unique, kudos! It handles quite well, too, which is vital for a game like this. The game takes a while to get going, though; feels like there's more downtime than necessary.
Oh, there's also a little typo in the version I played: when unlocking the speed boost upgrade, the game says it's A on the keyboard, while in reality it's the Q key.
Overall, though, a very memorable experience! Well done.
That Toilet... Feels so good. by Julyyyy 2022-04-07T17:40:37Z ♥ 2
The audio and graphics work together beautifully, and create a fun, cozy atmosphere while contrasting the dull reality. The writing ranges from nostalgic to hilarious to serious, really fleshing out Zoe's inner world (which I think many of us can relate to)! The premise is fun and the stats at the end help in that "just one more attempt" feeling. The subject matter of daydreaming serves the theme well. Good work.
Hearts Ablaze by Jon Topielski 2022-04-07T17:21:16Z ♥ 0
A very polished game for a jam project! The theme is represented tremendously well, and would've been right at home with the "one resource" theme as well.
The aesthetics are fun and coherent, the gameplay is fast enough to encourage multiple attempts, and the upgrades are interesting. Amazing work.
Mythical Mediator by Jahwffrey 2022-04-07T17:13:21Z ♥ 4
The game has a great sense of humor. The wardrobe is hilarious and the takes have just the right amount of jank. Some voice lines are hard to make out clearly due to sound quality, though. Points for the video tutorial that simultaneously introduced the mechanics and feel of the game.
The theme is represented very well and the resource balancing is engaging. Unfortunately, the UI doesn't seem to scale too well with larger screens, so I had to squint a little to make some elements out.
Great work overall -- you clearly made the most out of the limited resources!
Wizardfall by Quite Good 2022-04-06T23:48:21Z ♥ 1
A lovely game! The premise is exciting, the visuals are good and all of the dialogue options were laugh-out-loud amusing while also hinting at a deeper history between the characters and the world. Bonus points for replay value via alternate endings.
My only complaints are that there's a chance for repeated dialogue, which is a relatively small issue, and that the HTML version kept eating my inputs occasionally, which was somewhat frustrating.
Wonderful work overall!
