30 Days in the Fog by NBumgardner 2025-10-11T20:22:21Z ♥ 2

Interesting mechanic of two different factors to improve and alter the training of the actions, and from what I gather, not just a flat bonus, but what particular things you get. Even better that the action taken + the weather affect the next mood, which allows us to find a path of action.

- What is lacking: Text, hint, and forecasting. It's nice to have simple icons for stuff like UI : - Anger -> Improve physical-related (like MTG has symbols for the actions, but cards, and actions have a name). Names are important because, in a sense, they allow me to read the card in my head. It helps immerse me that tomorrow I'll be "running, swimming,..., doing mathematics or whatever" (the voice acting helps, but it's only after). I went into the code to dig (wit, physical, study, craft, misty) - The diary is super cool, saying what will improve the next day, but you don't have this information when you take the action (e.g., for the first day, or just after an event). It could be a glow on the cards, or a tooltip on the mood/weather. In old games, we would have a booklet with diagrams and mechanics that we could refer to.

I got a "default Title" along the way

The art is beautiful, the music soothing, and the voice acting is a nice touch. There seems to be a lot of replayability with the choices and paths to take (and the different characters) but the lack of more story elements while playing makes it a bit less enticing to replay it again and again.

Star fleet Telescop by VikFX 2025-10-09T22:07:24Z ♥ 1

- It takes time getting used to the reverse LR controls

Quality of life improvement : - Having a "pinned" notes of what I am looking for. - Easy mode, where in the notes, there are the colors for each filter (the expert will know the colors for each element). On the other end of the scale, having a "mini game" for the different parameters, like having multiple instruments for different parameters. You could have - an oscilloscope where a radio signal would appear, and you would match it, or turn knobs to filter it and it would give you an answer. - absorption bands could help know the atmosphere / or the sun - Other frequency could help you guess the mass

Fend Shui by niterich 2025-10-09T21:44:53Z ♥ 1

Nice, a bit sad indeed that the randomizer give you impossible instructions. Control are smooth, but the player should first turn then move in my opinion, it'S hard to place thing in the right position because you keep moving into it!

Tiny Museum by Keith Wang 2025-10-08T21:55:14Z ♥ 1

I enjoyed it! I become a bit busy quite rapidly, and you feel like managing it becomes overwhelming, but in fact, you can just let it go and everything is fine. My youngest (2.5y) really enjoyed the art and wanted me to play longer to see the snails.

ASM - Automatic Spider Machine by Sylf 2025-10-08T21:51:26Z ♥ 2

Cool and interesting game, I enjoyed the art, the real sensation of having to deal with things going in inaccessible places. I think you really nailed the concept. The jazzy/funky music reverses that vibe like everything is chill, whereas it's more and more uncontrollable. Indeed with a trackpad it's uncontrollable, grasping the spider is almost impossible. I ought to find a mouse to try again, I think flicking the spider in the top right corner might be a strategy.

In the end, a enjoyable entry! Congrats

Veggies Clash by Yorsh 2025-10-08T21:40:58Z ♥ 1

THat's a nice entry!

The good : - Complete set of cards with different mechanics - a beginning (tutorial) and an end game, several mechanics (duel, trading). - You feel invested in the gambling of one of your cards (which is properly attenuated with kids being really clumsy and dropping cards all over) - You have very nice art - humour - music (albeit a bit repetitive in the end)

the bad : - The controls make me dizzy and do not always lock up properly - I am not sure I really understood all the mechanics when fighting the final boss (the big one). Healing would go over the max health, the damage reduction sometimes made it appear that the leaks were not even doing anything (while being a 3 attack). The endgame felt frustrating because I was switching combos again and again, not really managing anything.

overall, a very strong entry!

Wha @liquid, that's a crazy game

This is really impressive to be able to build a city builder; everything works quite well.

How could you managed so much in 48hours ! - I love the color palette you have selected, your building and assets are beautiful - Two musics for the day/night cycle is awesome, that's one of my goal for the future : more than one track. - The game mechanic works well, I agree with previous commenters on a bit more info on availability

Fantastic entry, continue rating other people game and giving feedback so you get ratings !

What a neat entry : clever and original concept. I'll come back fresh to fully enjoy this one, cause my brain is not braining enough tonight!

I agree that a bit more of a tutorial on how the square interact to guide the player would have been nice, the hints help a bit ( I brute force solved 6 by adding a bunch of parts..?)

Monsters in Jars by T4RAN 2025-10-07T21:56:11Z ♥ 2

Beautiful game, art, and sound design are really nice, controls are responsive. It feels good to play. The character mechanics are varied and interesting, but I failed to really have the time and patience to develop a strategy. Your characters play often just once, and when there are more enemies than you have, it's even harder. But kudos on attempting and successfully producing a working game in that genre because it is really impressive.

The Legend of the Mondrokko by ditam 2025-10-07T21:05:14Z ♥ 1

I was the mondrokko all along! Very nice storyline. The game loop is perfectly timed, each trip is not too long, and the progression in terms of money is fine as well. I mostly increased backpack size and a bit of speed. - The merchant giving hints (rocks, poison mushroom) is really nice, maybe more trivia about what mushroom are valuable would be even better ("Whaa! a shitake, that's super", "boletus, so common..." ) - Maybe some sound would have been nice.

Paperboy: Time to Collect by sslees 2025-10-07T19:08:13Z ♥ 1

Nice, I directly went to Github to see the code as I made a canvas/js/html/css game as well, I have used p5.js to do all the drawing. I really dig your approach of overlaying regular HTML over the canvas to provide the UI. I continue to burden myself with drawing text in p5 for my game. Although this year I have used the overlay trick for the menu and info boxes but I haven't fully committed to this mix approach yet. But your code inspire me to do so for future events.

Mushroom! by Tim Eriksen 2025-10-07T19:03:32Z ♥ 1

Nice, this game has the vibe of mushroom hunting, chill and relaxed. I got them all in perfect condition.

- I don't see the point of getting money, though (you had more features planned ?) - Sometimes the view radius get larger?

If I were to expand on that game I would go in the following direction : - A more dense forest-like environment that makes it harder to find mushrooms - "spots" that are good, maybe having another collector and trying to reach your spot without them following you! - Weather for the mood - Eating mushrooms and getting buff (speed, extravision, one that make you large, and one that make you small) or debuff (~extravision~, dizziness)

I am getting inspired!

Jars for the Collector by BlackCat508 2025-10-07T18:48:48Z ♥ 1

Beautiful, reminds me of games I play on DOS a long time ago where you would mix colors to make potions. You are a cheeky b... on the last one, so i played again but I may have misclicked cause it said I made a mistake (sometimes the sound doesn't play...), So I tried the other end. The game is a bit too slow to replay a forth time time (you can't skip for faster play)

Life of a Mayor by Dean James 2025-10-06T15:32:30Z ♥ 1

Beautiful (I love the house and their color variation), simple and enjoyable. A bit slow loop at the beggining maybe.

- the UI is terrible small on my Mac/Chrome Screenshot 2025-10-06 at 17.27.53.png

The Game would be even better with : - quality of life : Dragging the road instead of manual placing. - Building upgrade

Paper Fishing by iovorobiev 2025-10-06T06:25:31Z ♥ 1

I liked that you could use one fish as bait for another, and that I had to fish it first. That is an interesting mechanic, but it would @plastus said be cool to keep that bait on abort, because currently it is painful when you can't catch bigger fish... A bit more control on how / where to throw would have been nice. I understand the DIY feel you wanted for the game, but for now, it still feels a bit too bare ( what kind of precision do we have while reeling, for instance? It took me a while to understand that it was a precision task).

I like the aesthetic and the sfx are funny, nice entry!

You should opt out of graphics, audio if you have used assets that you haven't created during the compo.

I don't really understand what consume or replenish my pick, nor what is open space/rock

Fatal Morgana by amirblum 2025-10-05T23:41:35Z ♥ 0

nice graphics, really cool music, the mood is really there. But can we really reach the next oasis, I was clicking as fast as possible on the elements that appeared but did not reach far...

Hexa Fort King Collector by EmojiMaster 2025-10-05T23:39:07Z ♥ 0

Nice concept!

building an upgradable tower defense in 48 hours is quite a nice challenges, you have a lot of content and quite a polished look. The Ui is quite unresponsive, and I am a bit confuse why I can upgrade some building and not some other

Overall great entry!

I found 10 objects! I am not sure if that's was it.

- The image being larger than the screen is a bit clunky, it was slow to explore the border, where most of the navigation to the next area was, and when you get to a room you have already be, coming back is not immediate (since you can't see the portal again). It was not always obvious where was the way back as well. - bug: The object reappears in the fields when you come back to the house. - I like the red hint for the portals - The art is really good. - It cruelly lacks music or sound for an exploration game. - Nice to have the editor embedded in the game. Was it built during the jam?

Coco-llectors by tanis 2025-10-05T23:13:00Z ♥ 1

whaaa, you're the first game I try this edition!

I have cramps in my arm trying to frantically collect those coco de mer. I was really into it!

my notes: - Both players are a bit too close in terms of colors. - the controls are a bit hard (slippery ?) I don't know, but it felt weird moving around. Maybe the grid is a bit too rigid, or we only move on tick (or the music made me move on tick). - The swapping with the piles on the end is a nice feature, a bit clunky sometimes. - It's hard to know when the pile is high enough. Is there a combo to bring two 6 piles, rather than getting the point at height 7 (if I understood) - I like that they hold the coco de mer on their head when there is only one. - The AI is good, I felt it was good pressure. But at the same time, it could have destroyed me if it had been a bit smarter in stealing my piles

Prepare for the worst by Remote_ms 2025-04-24T19:06:53Z ♥ 1

Really hard to play with so much of delay betwwen shooting and reaching the target. Although the challenge is interesting, the progression could be better, slower bigger ennemies first, then reduce size and increase speed as the game progress would make it more enjoyable.

Orpheus Scroll by Triliks 2025-04-22T19:54:27Z ♥ 1

I love the concept, having the player play the music you have composed is very nice.

The only miss is that reading and playing at the same time is quite hard, it would have been nice to have the text be a voice-over (saying that, I am self-conscious of my own voice and I don't think I would dare have it recorded for all to hear). Also knowing which is the note that I am expected to play next was sometimes hard to guess (If I played to early)

The art is gorgeous, is it physically or digitally painted (if the later, what software are you using ??)

Deep Protocol by elykx 2025-04-22T07:24:49Z ♥ 0

Very interesting, I love the art and the mood. It feels dark and gritty just as hacking should be :)

I should have read the comment about the rules, that would have help tremendously, you should use that comment in the description or point to it.

Freak Waves by Rewzu 2025-04-20T16:22:31Z ♥ 1

Whao!

First, let me preface with the fact that waves are my absolute nightmare! So this is literally hell and so stress-inducing! And with that entry, you perfectly capture that terrible feeling, so I think you nailed it!

I really felt the tension to navigate and keep my cargo, holding my breath throughout.

Game wise a bit more UI (level, radar, or some other element would be nice). The fact that there was no coast or any clue of where the end goal would really be played well in my anxiety of being lost in the middle of the ocean. But being more in control of what is happening, would happens would be nice.

The wave being somehow random in their direction is an interesting challenge but a bit out of context. A more steady set of challenges (front facing, then starboard, then maybe changing the frequency or intensity) would feel more like a progression. In one run an extreme freak wave got me from behind with no way of reacting which was a bit frustrating.

Good luck

Into the Depths by Troloze 2025-04-20T16:09:57Z ♥ 1

Strange entry, really moody! It took me several tries but I got it in the end.

Overall I found the mechanics quite interesting but a bit muddy in their mix, like I was going down mostly blind because the light would most of the time kill me. sometimes the hand would be in the same time as the angel. I don't really know how to express it, but it did not feel either like a sequence of events or a balance of skills (enough speed, light or dark, and so on). I only really know of the mechanics from the description rather than overcoming the challenges.

Antz vs Plantz by Blue Pin Studio 2025-04-19T08:28:21Z ♥ 2

Very nice, scale well upgrade well and the boss destroying the pin makes for a good end game rather than an infinite session!

2D INFINITE MINE by Cafe Spectrum Studio 2025-04-19T08:15:38Z ♥ 1

145m!

Nice game!

Some cool features to consider for a follow-up game:

* Pressing down: increase game speed, similar to Tetris. This would be helpful when waiting between actions and could make the experience more enjoyable. You could experiment with this feature: + Plain: Just a nice-to-have addition + Enhance it with effects (overclocked engines SFX, visual speed effects) + Make it resource-intensive (but then we might be back to square one, watching the game scroll by while waiting for the next interaction) + Introduce a delay in response when leaving the speed effect, making it a timing challenge like an out-of-control machine * Reduced visibility or increased enemy speed: * Upgrades between runs using earned money (vertical speed, lateral speed, more ore, fewer enemies, better enemy visibility)

Voidwood by Tobius 2025-04-19T08:01:07Z ♥ 3

Great graphics and music!

Although I am experiencing some issues :

- a bit lagging on my mac/chrome which makes it stutter which is at the point of not really playable.

- My brain wants the control reversed! I keep pressing left to move everything right maybe because I am not controlling one element I think I am controlling the background ? A reverse control option would be a nice feature !

- I am restarting over and over because I want to experience the second phase, but even missing only one water makes me lose before that

edit: I have downloaded the Mac version and I have the same stuttering effect... but I powered through and got to see the second phase, which stopped the game to a crawl before painstakingly getting back to speed... Strange as I don't see anyone else having performance issues and my setup is not that bad (albeit a mac...)

In Focus by miroreflect 2025-04-17T08:33:34Z ♥ 2

Is there only two levels of focus on level 3 ? I can't see a way to solve level 3, the right most is blurred at the same time as the opening, so no way to having him reach the right star...

Maybe on my mac the scroll is too fast and I get only the extrema ?

Deep Space Photography by Verbante 2025-04-15T20:31:10Z ♥ 1

I win! Nice I really love that you don't kill the monsters but just push them away! Some fun strategies to keep them at bay.

I did so well (for once) that I did not even take a picture with a monster, I have to replay to see if there are funny complaints!

Great entry

Edit: I played again the web version, in a corner not shooting to get a monster, and they aggregate around you and avoid the picture by themselves... So I won again not playing.

Lone Digger by The Spinning Sofa 2025-04-15T20:09:37Z ♥ 4

Impossibru with a trackpad! Game look so nice though!

Edit: I found a mouse, but it is still really hard, reaching the top of the screen, the Mac menu bar reappears and keeps getting me out of the game... Some sort of mouse capture (and maybe some track assist for newbs like me ...).

In general, the game is beautiful, and the concept is nice, but in the end, it did not click for me (tracking + clicking is just frustrating)

Focus! by grid96 2025-04-15T19:00:04Z ♥ 1

Seems lovely, but the sensibility of the mac trackpad mouse scroll is to high. a sensitivity setting or alternate control would be nice.

I'll try again tomorrow with the help of a external mouse!

Edit: I just saw that you did all of that without your hands, and I am complaining about sensitivity of the controls...

It's a bait ! by Dyecode 2025-04-15T18:47:17Z ♥ 1

**Really cool entry!** I had a lot of fun experimenting with the four different weapons.

**1st run – Fork:** I didn’t realize (and didn’t read the instructions, oops) that I could swing it, so I got wrecked pretty fast.

**2nd run – Bubbles:** Much easier! I was a bit confused when the weapon upgraded itself — not sure what triggered that? But it was super cool to see multiple versions of the weapon appear. The boss didn’t trigger, though, so I ended up chilling at the bottom for a while. Discovered the swing mechanic during that downtime!

Hard refresh

**3rd run – Stick:** As with the fork, This one felt a bit too hard for me. Didn’t get very far.

**4th run – Slingshot:** Nice and easy! Made it to the final boss and finally scored a victory, Fintastic!

---

**Overall, a very polished and enjoyable game.** You’ve packed in so many great mechanics: - Multiple starting weapons - Unique, named upgrades for each weapon - Visual progression - A final boss encounter

You really check all the boxes!

**Balance-wise,** I think the close-range weapons could use a bit more love. Maybe some knockback on hit to help manage enemies? And possibly fewer enemy bullets to give short-range weapons more room to shine, or make the ranged weapons feel a bit less dominant. Also I see the difference in weapon attack pattern between the fork and the stick, but the two ranged weapons feel less distinct

Lol wtf ? Get the humor rating back on the menu! this was hilarious. Just some random dialog about it definitely not spending the money on drugs would make it perfect. Add a timer with a dimming / eyes closing effect for each round and you have an end game!

@protzz You have to share the source code to be in compo! Move to Jam if you don't want to disclose your source code. That's the spirit of LD, playing other people, providing feedback, learning game dev, it's not a promotion platform for you upcoming game....

Neuronic Netronics by kaliuresis 2025-04-13T06:39:10Z ♥ 1

Lacking a bit of explanation about dragging the weight along the edges.

For me, the -1,1 range is really hard to understand with your visualization. Maybe a bottom/top splitting of the node and edge would make it more visual.

I'd love to know more about asm and the dev setup you have use. Have you per chance use git / github during the dev process ? Would you share the source code that way ?

Jellylight by Steven Garberg 2025-04-12T06:20:25Z ♥ 0

Beautiful game, with a nice mood and music ambiance!

I lost my first game because I didn't see the light meter, and I was trying to collect everything on the screen instead of going down. I won the second by doing only left-right and capturing only a few of the "light" food, bumping on top of the "enemy." Were some of the fish nice and some bad? I don't know.

A nice entry but some elements could be improved to make it greater - Lack of feedback on nice/bad entities or on damage, I didn't really understand who I should avoid and when I was not avoiding thing was that bad. - the food/light elements feel disconnected. It still fills like collected dots before the meter gets to 0. And if enemies take away your light, it becomes a "life" meter. So is it more like "air" or more like "life"? (edit: I went again, and it seems to drain faster when you touch an enemy) To make it more like a light meter, maybe it should integrate more into the overall render of the scene (making it darker). The Food should be more connected to light (have a glow effect maybe). - the controls are a bit slow/unresponsive (normal to an extent as we are underwater), but I didn't feel I could really do something but gently float away; I don't think I understood the effect of pressing space. That's fine for a chill, nice experience, but less so if the goal is to make it challenging.

Crabs in a Bucket by busisen 2025-04-11T22:08:35Z ♥ 1

Great concept, I loved it. I was half expecting it to be less rogue-like and more of a die-and start-over more powerful every run!

I would play more if the music was a little bit less oppressive. As a chill game, a more sunny / beach/surf rock vibe, maybe!

A Present for Ama by oliver_day 2025-04-11T12:20:23Z ♥ 2

I liked the music and the art!

I was confused by the controls at first because "ASD" doesn't work until you press click at first, maybe it's just an itch.io thing. So maybe a splash screen would help engage in clicking.

Procedurally generated floors are great, but sometimes I would just fall from the beginning to almost the end in one go. Maybe having some sort of rewriting grammar like : |---- --| => |---- | |-- - --|

And then either having a template for a level or rules to create a simple level that ensures no direct path, then those are transformed into more interesting levels.

Not being able to move during the fall is a valid design choice, but that means the player should know the consequences of falling and have some sense of choice on where to fall. Otherwise, the game would be a bit meaningless.

Earth Below by whateverdat 2025-04-10T19:09:12Z ♥ 1

Interesting mechanic! Extremely frustrating mechanic! Both at the same time! Well done! Really innovative. Took me a while to understand that I was in the Intro, then not understand the falling trough at the beginning ! Maybe a visual effect like a fading to/from black with falling streaks would help.

Down Wheel by neowhoru 2025-04-10T14:37:42Z ♥ 2

Nice! Too hard for me! restarting at the beggining of the color instead of the frame makes it a bit frustrating (maybe a "hard" / "easy" mode for jam reviewer where you restart at different depth)

also : When you dash from right to left, the sprites still are facing right

Is that a visual glitch to not be on top of the floor ?

There are a ton of nice mechanics, and we can sense that there are tons of mechanics to play around to discover. However, the controls are a bit too slow and slippery to be fully enjoyable. For ex., the umbrella is nice, but then every drop takes too long, and traversing the level again because you die from lava or such is quite painful

Cool entry, thanks for the mac build.

Knocking On Hell's Door by Frib 2025-04-09T13:50:02Z ♥ 1

WHaou, I usually hate these kind of game, but I really enjoyed yours. My set up (a mac with a trackpad) makes it difficult to control both weapons but never the less I managed to traverse several levels of hell!

I don't understand why sometimes the rocket launcher would not fire anymore (just after entering a new level I have "one" ammo, then later in the level "infinite" again ?)

Hell R Us by CaptainDreamcast 2025-04-09T13:41:34Z ♥ 1

Very funny entry!

the hit boxes are a bit too small, hard to predict. I am usually terrible at this kind of game, but managed to win by just running into the ennemy and spamming A..

The double A/enter control for skipping text / menu is strange.

Holy Moly! by Thomas_Bringer 2025-04-09T08:36:00Z ♥ 2

@thomas-bringer Nice to play another game of yours! smooth controls for a fast game, zooming to farmer, death from below, maybe a bit too slippery. I feels more like I am sliding like a penguin than digging through earth

It would be nice to have a charging animation for the farmer, to get a sense of when to duck, especially a to close range.

Very nice entry, good luck!

Delver Delve by khaotom 2025-04-08T20:52:53Z ♥ 1

- Solid mechanic of having 2 kind of terrain to dig with two kind of tools - Ambiance is solid, dark but not grim - The rogue-like aspects of missing stuff and not being able to get back without replaying adds a certain level of "frustration" / "one more game!"

Very nice entry !

Yellow-But-Legally-Distinct Submarine by ThisIsSpy 2025-04-08T20:00:04Z ♥ 1

25k$ and 104m depth!

Nice first entry! Regarding the controls : - the stopping is a bit too jarring compared to the smooth acceleration. - The submarine is not really responsive as every increase in speed is slow compare to the actual current direction. Maybe having a weight average between (Current Direction Speed, New Direction Speed Increased) would help rather than just increasing in the direction of the sub.

Talkie Escape by Yvanor 2025-04-08T19:39:18Z ♥ 1

What! I love the esthetic, the smoothness of the movements, the controls explained in the game (also it says A for answer but I had to press Q on my QWERTY keyboard). I really like that the weapons/trap don't kill you. That makes it enjoyable to poor player like myself.

Playing the other character was a bit fiddly as the player was not always in the right spot to jump for example

I am not really good at games where I have to shoot at stuff :( so I die easily, but I managed to dig through "the end ?"

I Loved the ambiance, the digging, and the lights!

Having the bullets and the F light be the same resource could have been a nice twist, with some sort of mechanism around the light being necessary to get down.

Drop Into Hell by boboneoone 2025-04-08T18:39:30Z ♥ 1

Nice first entry I like the parallax of the wall, and the three tone color palette there. The game play is not really my style as I am very poorly coordinated, but I can feel the idea.

Some notes

- the red of the health bar is invisible against the red background. - Having any kind of music/sound would make the game 200% more enjoyable. WHile It can be hard to do everything in one Jam, you can even opt out of the sound design and use some nice Creative Commons assets. Practice in between jam with quickly creating music. In my process I tend to do the music around noon both day, just before starting coding again, when I start to become tired. THis year I have discovered in the feed beepbox.co which was amazing for prototyping some music! As for sfx, I usually make them with my mouth (the shutter sound in my game is me mouth-clicking)

DeepFrame 9 by JavaSaurus 2025-04-08T18:19:44Z ♥ 0

Nice Entry, As some of the comment said I felt the control where reverse. I was also having my mouse lower and lower every pull, having to reset to a higher position after a few hits. Nice to have made a repo, you should add topics (ludum-dare, ld, ludum-dare-57...) and a ludum dare badge if you'd like

```md Ludum Dare Ludum Dare ```

River Woods by the3rdHunter 2025-04-08T11:37:36Z ♥ 1

I had to zoom out to see the full game. Having the control, fullscreen toggle or explanation on the top left rather than bottom right would help. Nice control, would be fun to play as a two-player game, that would reflect my actual experience of canoeing (going in circle forever!) It was a fun experience

Your text keep saying that if we see danger level 3 it could be 2 ver1.0 and a ver2.0 but that would make difficulty 4 ?

It was hard at first, but then I understand the bullet increasing with my level and the reason for killing ennemies.

Solid entry!

This game remind me of my time on a canoe! I was dying of laughter paddling in a circle never getting anywhere. I managed to get to the coffer. I thought, that's it I know how to swim ! I don't know if the coffer add some weight or is it just that I can't swim but I never managed to get out!

10/7 would swim again

Au fond du trou (Down in the rabbit hole) by thogg 2025-04-07T12:18:03Z ♥ 1

Congrats on making a game for LD!

The introduction of the special weapon was interesting, but the controls felt very sluggish, and I kept dying... I sometimes got stuck while walking on a flat surface (e.g. after the second wine rest on the left before the drop, especially frustrating because it would be nice to run and jump there.)

The walking sound is a bit overwhelming and repetitive.

Drinking wine as a campfire mechanism is funny.

The Waters of Lake Peipsi by R4musMC 2025-04-07T12:06:07Z ♥ 0

The embedded version doesn't work... Usually you need to get in your root folder (where the index.html is) and select all -> archive / compress instead of archiving the root directory.

I'll play on itch.io in the mean time

Handbag Havoc by fnelix 2025-04-07T12:02:47Z ♥ 3

Seems fun, Graphics are beautiful, music is really funny!

I can't grab items using my Mac, neither the right click nor the two-finger gesture work: - I have tried on the trackpad - the magic mouse - I have tried holding ctrl, which sometimes trigger the right click event.

@ me if you fix the issue, I'll come back to rate the game on the game aspects then.

Wormin' Down by Cobear25 2025-04-07T11:57:38Z ♥ 2

I lost while reaching the bottom, It was a nice entry. The look is polished and the audio very nice!

Is the goal to get the deepest or to reach the most points ? It's maybe missing an END screen with score / high score.

La Révolution Francheese: Bonamouse by MrBananaz 2024-10-25T15:55:53Z ♥ 3

It was so slippery with a crazy turn radius for a mouse that it made me orbit around a piece of cheese for a frustrating amount of time! My mice don't interact with the rats, so I was always under the impression that the defenses were not properly working. Maybe make the rats "attractors" during the "battle". Otherwise very beautiful game

Small Sands by zimny11 2024-10-22T20:42:43Z ♥ 1

Amazing, it was really engaging, I spent way too long on the game. I don't think I ended up using the ropes to pull the stone, and I made way too many rollers, thinking that they might be used to carry the stones up the levels! I was always pleasantly surprised to see a new mechanic appear just at the moment I was going to all in on the hauling! (ok, it's too late, I'll see myself out)

Maybe a zoom-out would have made the experience more agreeable.

Insecticide Express by Quackqack 2024-10-22T08:09:44Z ♥ 0

Herding these things by qfeys 2024-10-22T07:07:17Z ♥ 0

I could not crouch (mac os/chrome...) and ran around for a little while; it was nice to collect cats, the difficulty increases nicely with them fighting and preventing you from moving. It does feel like having cats, although it lacks some in-game feel for the progress.

Summony Flute by Amolker 2024-10-21T19:20:06Z ♥ 1

I love the drawing to summon creatures!

I liked the diverging path; it gave me a sense of choice in the path I could take. I am guessing the mask on the ground are a hint of which creature I should summon.

Are you using a 1$ recognizer for the shapes ? I am drawing with a track pad, and it was not always easy.

In terms of progression, It's hard to guess what each creature will do based on just their pictures; maybe you could have added a Statue of the creature instead of the mask with hints of their property (the pick axe, the (as I am writing I don't really know what the power are yet, I am still waiting to see anything else than mining stones) Edit: I have encountered the oni! I feel like my unit are invincible ?

When drawing the owl and the cat the wrong indicator appears (the cat for the owl and vice versa)

Overall the game is beautiful, the units are really cool and the summoning mechanism neat. Unit movement is well done. The progression, difficulty, sense of direction could be improved (maybe adding some increasing tension, doom sensation of the shadow getting overwhelming by increasing the darkness or something)

Very solid entry well done!

Cyber Critter by rucksack 2024-10-20T21:59:06Z ♥ 2

I came from your comment on my game, and I see the similarity! I like the customization mechanisms. I have seen it in another game, and find it super cool to switch between parts of the model! I find the phase / turn switch to be a bit cumbersome (when all have moved, there is nothing to do but click on next), or maybe it's just because the Ui is missing some hints when the actions should be clicked (which pawn as still some AP when no move is available ... ), but that just quality of life improvement.

Great game!

Tiny Heads by DashVirus 2024-10-12T10:55:32Z ♥ 1

Excellent puzzle game! It was really fun to discover the rules of each element! I don't know how many levels there was, maybe have or current/total level indicator or breadcrumbs (a dot for each level that would fill, the dot could also be stylize for what the level introduce (new tile, new grid size)... that would allow the player to assess its progress a bit better

Tiny Creature Word by candlesan 2024-10-10T07:25:45Z ♥ 0

English is my second language, so this was harder to play. That said, I love word puzzles, so I was hooked from the beginning. The 6 letters word felt easy to guess just by looking at the grid, or maybe it's because pets are easier than what the theme was for 4

I was wondering if there were algorithmic challenges while playing (like a word you would not have to see coming that could be formed but not a "valid" one). I am guessing that's most probable around 4/5 letters. edit: I saw the Extra word thing

The flat graphic (reading the comment above) is nice for this kind of entry. It inspired me so much that it prompted me to do a 30-minute session of fiddling in Krita on how I would have done it. But that may be insensitive to share!

Great job!

Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-09T20:48:44Z ♥ 1

You've got a really cool concept here! I love how the flea flock reacts to itself, allowing it to jump on itself. I got through a lot of levels just by hugging the left wall and then the ceiling thus.

The music is nice but get repetitive, the art style remind me of children book that would be about flea and wolves, and it fits very well.

Congrats on an amazing entry!

Could not really play it :

- Line break in the email, made the characters to appears delayed (instead of becoming green when I press it, it would become green when the next character is pressed, and it get wors with each line break (I am guessing on macbook doesn't use the exact same linebreak CR instead of CRLF ?_ - I can right click while holding an object on a trackpad...

Game is cute though

Tiny Poopers and You by Chuckiee 2024-10-09T15:40:24Z ♥ 1

Thank you for your entry!

Spoiled Harvest: Defend your plants from tiny critters by FrontiersEnd 2024-10-09T15:32:03Z ♥ 0

Great first entry ! It was nice to play.

With some strong elements to make it a game + Having levels + Having a menu selector + Having a score system and an end-game

Some possible improvements : - The difficulty doesn't ramp up as fast as your cash: maybe to add difficulty you could have two circle :one for kill zone and one for an exclusion area where you can place another turret. - More instructions/tutorial, since you have multiple levels, one where you explained the concepts/weapons would be nice (even if the game isn't difficult per se) I was not sure how the weapons worked (the fire in any direction in the circle, do they block line of sight...) - Basic sound sfx on element placement adds a lot of depth.

I hope you participate in more ludum dare in the future!

Beetle Era by icxon 2024-10-09T14:05:12Z ♥ 1

Cool Cool Cool, I'd love to do a RTS some day in a jam, but that's seem so difficult to balance. I loved the mechanisms you had put in the game, the pheromone to guide your soldiers, the body part selection is very innovative as well.

Not super sure of what agility/power do though. Is one related to movement speed ? Are the ability useful for harvester (like max collectable energy, collect speed, movement speed ?)

Tiny Escape by Loig 2024-10-09T12:10:46Z ♥ 1

Allez, On y va! So cute. Nice puzzle game, I like the balance of two energy levels (food/people) being able to sacrifice one of them but being able to continue on levels is a very nice take on the puzzle game. Winning the war over each battle. I really love How you introduced each game mechanism in a show dont tell manners, very well done!

Scrubby Shrimp by Steven Garberg 2024-10-09T11:48:36Z ♥ 1

Played for a bit, I enjoyed the art and the music.

The control felt a bit clunky, sometimes the shrimp would stop getting up and would drown... Having the controls on the same block ( all arrows keys) would have felt more natural I think.

It feels like the end stage arrive too soon (There was a least one algae left) I thought a fish had made me lost, but when I played the level again my score (coins) was still there.

I liked the bonus levels, just for the sheer enjoyment of collecting coins!

City Saver by BuzzyDev 2024-10-09T11:28:43Z ♥ 1

Nice entry, The art style is great!

Some notes on my experience: I was confused by the buttons, I realized the "?" was a tutorial only after reading the comments on the page. IMHO game Jam should always start with the tutorial if you had one made, because tutorial are such a great aspect of a good game, it would be to bad if a rater would miss it or have a lesser experience if they miss one of the nicely crafted elements you put in the game.

I am bad with "agility" based game, my coordination of moving with the mouse then orienting toward the enemy was not my thing. (to many interactions on one "device") But then, that's probably the goal of an agility based game to learn how to use it!

A more evident feedforward/feedback on where the attack impacts, the amount of damage etc.. would be a great addition if you plan to do something more with the game

BOILERMEN by diabolical-sloth 2024-10-08T22:12:03Z ♥ 1

What an amazing mechanism! Having synchronous input that has different effects! You want the perfect choreography that never happens; it ends up being hell! Excellent, had a ton of fun. I'm not sure what the bar was about. Was I trying to fill it up or prevent it from filling up, I could not tell in the excitement!

Cool music, and ambiance!

Snail away by Thomas_Bringer 2024-10-08T22:01:24Z ♥ 1

Excellent! The movement is so smooth and snail-like! Amazing work on the animation. The level design is perfectly done to highlight the different game mechanisms (the mushrooms surprised me so much :)). There is no difficulty, making it a very nice and relaxing experiment.

My only two caveats are the picking sfx being too loud/high pitch compared to the music, the control being reverse when you are upside down (if you stop moving and start again, you have to press what seems to me the wrong button... I have no correct interaction that would feel good to offer)

Kokins by ladybenko 2024-10-08T19:14:46Z ♥ 1

Nice entry, same comment about having only one minigame. - The key layout is strange but maybe it's a pico thing ? - You could auto move the action selector to sleep at night, I kept being confused by it being the only one not greyed out, but not being selected

Little Chef by DERRIXX 2024-10-08T19:04:55Z ♥ 2

Requires way too many motor skills for my tiny brain! The concept is cool; - I would have preferred a more symmetric layout for both hands ( awsd + e(pick),q(use) and jikl + u,o ) and c and n to move, for example. - an action key (cut) - Art and music are a perfect match for me being clumsy in the kitchen!

As mentioned in the comment, it seems buggy I could not managed to cut the courgette.

THank you for making and sharing this game!

Laverino by Kirass 2024-10-08T18:56:22Z ♥ 2

I love the art of the plush (the cover art is a very beautiful render).

- The sensibility was too high on my Macbook/trackpad, and the keyboard made the game hard to navigate. - I got stuck on exiting the music box and could not move anymore or do anything but open the sound menu. - I don't know what triggered the speed challenges (pressing keys), but it was always too fast for me to complete. So, it didn't bring value to the game

Great entry otherwise

Shrimp Tank Simulator by Harmadillo 2024-10-08T18:45:19Z ♥ 1

Nice simulator. I would have liked to know in advance the preferred ranges for each species and fiddle with the components to reach the goal rather than randomly adding stuff until the colors change in the right direction. It didn't seem that the environment changed on its own. Water evaporation or the water needs to be cleaned would have been nice features.

Thank you for the experience.

Squizzard by JammedGame 2024-10-08T18:37:38Z ♥ 2

Nice entry! Finding the right combo of spells to win is the key. I ended up maxing the fire first to stop the mob + then spamming the ice

The first wave is super fast, making it a challenge to react from the menu, a countdown on the "fight" scene would feel better.

Not too long, not to short perfect for a Gam Jam. Congrats on working on a great entry with such a big team!

Tiny Trails by Custodi 2024-10-08T15:49:25Z ♥ 1

Nice, I am bad at agility base games, but I managed to get far enough to discover the different mechanisms which is nice in a Game Jam entry. I once added a "cheat" mode to allow players to discover more levels

PATCHONOMICON by pepnou 2024-10-08T15:32:29Z ♥ 3

Very Nice idea, and I love the stitching it really ties everything together!

The game feels a bit slow, and the piece to extreme in shape to match the target. Having a biiiig pile of pieces to sort through rather than the conveyor belt would be nicer. It would please ocd people in first sorting by colors! and the realizing your design. This kind of game really work well in my opinion in the "sandbox" genra, give enough freedom to people to express their creativity.

If you want to have a competitive mode, I would go along the "restaurant/serving" genra with multiple order and an abundant supply of random shape / colors.

Evergrove by Chariot 2024-10-08T15:19:00Z ♥ 2

Nice entry, I love dwarf fortress and you made a great hommage to the game.

- Are the ladders randomly generated? Or just my dwarves pick the strangest path when I order them to dig on the layer below? - It would be nice to be able to cancel a dig, because when I select a tile below it sometimes very far away from the spawn point and not useful to dig there.

- Is there audio ? I can't hear anything in the embedded version

Birbs Chat by SpaghettiCupcake 2024-10-08T14:59:41Z ♥ 1

Nice design, controls are smooth. Sadly I was alone, I shouted a bit, Don't know what to do when no one is around.

Multiplayer on game jam are tricky if no one shows up when you are there to rate them. Maybe have some sort of replay of previous players, repeating what they said before (that would probably lead to hilarious conversation) Trying to guess if you are alone in the room, if other are real birds (or drone by the gov :D )

I love the different game mechanisms you have implemented they are really unique! The art and the music really set the mood. I love the springiness of the branch, how did you implement that ?

- I missed that I had to go back to the beggining once all the leaves were serviced, took me two fall to read that press E at the beginning

Scary Ocean by Rusu Gabriel 2024-10-07T21:50:42Z ♥ 1

I like the aggregation mechanism of tiny creatures, it's a nice idea for the theme!

Some user feedback: - The pivot point should probably be the fish at the front rather than the fish at the end - Or Maybe have a tracking invisible element in front of the fish that they follow.. - implement the fish as boid rather than a rigid block - Zooming out makes things appears slower, while this is normal, a small increase in speed would make the game feel more responsive - The trackball is interesting but the position at the bottom makes it hard to manipulate (bottom side feel more constrained). It's hard to manipulate with a track pad.

Dawn of the vertebrates by Ceres 2024-10-07T20:49:21Z ♥ 1

The movement mechanic feels weird, like I don't really get how the creature react to my inputs. I think that's because the center of rotation is misplaced on the smaller creature

The music is really setting the pace, good job!

Are you listening? by Sockenpuppe 2024-10-07T20:38:24Z ♥ 2

I think it's too heavy for me, I want to cry just from the beginning. My sister share the main character name as well.

I love the art style. Congrats on making game about important subject.

I don't really get it, on what the ball are bouncing ? they sometimes seem to just randomly bounce

Swarmcore by lantto 2024-10-07T19:19:17Z ♥ 1

I love swarm of particles, I like the glowing effect you managed to get. It made me think of a demo of radiance cascades I saw the other day (https://simondev.io/projects)

Same comment as the other about sound/music.

Was there a strategy to the evolution/growing of the swarm ? It felt nice having them much on some of the colors, but I was not sure if some were harder or had different benefits

Tiny Ducks by osh.studio 2024-10-07T18:49:22Z ♥ 1

Nice game, I was really into it! Some card stay unplayable even if your duck revive or in between runs.. I got to level 8, but lost by one because I could not play the shiv... I am too lazy to replay it now, but I might give it another go later on!

Ephyra by Flipsy 2024-10-07T18:14:35Z ♥ 2

Whao, nice game, It is very cute, and fun/challenging to play!

I like how each move costs you energy, so getting up to gather more food is a very nice risk/reward thing. The movement economy is a very nice dynamic for this game. I would have liked a "take a rest" mechanic, where you slowly recover health when waiting, because I am bad at this kind of game, but this is a very nice entry, well done. (I see that you have used the ludumdare badge on your gitlab :)

tiny villages by OldDog 2024-10-07T17:47:28Z ♥ 0

Excellent, It took me several time to find the right strat (gold is key!) but it worked in the end. Nice set of mechanics and improvements.

For compo you seem to be missing the source code !

Carrot Patch by Historymaker118 2024-10-07T14:47:05Z ♥ 1

Nice, the embedded version did not have any sound, but the external one did. I like the source code as an image! your entry is way less verbose than mine (about 1k lines) it would not fit and would be ugly!

The black carrot mechanic makes the game!

Great job!

the Last Leukocyte by bad_fetus 2024-10-07T14:38:22Z ♥ 2

Fun to play! I found that getting around my own heart was the most annoying aspect of the game, but I want to replay to get better, which is a good sign of a solid entry!

I like that there is a leaderboard. I am interested in how you set it up, I'll go look at the github page.

Blobbies by tuism 2024-10-07T14:28:13Z ♥ 1

Whaoo, nice entry, it feel super polished. At first the game play on its own and then the speed picks up nicely! Art and sound goes very well together. I love the spin on a classic, I cool see how to make a gooey version where you deform the blob to make them touch rather than moving "solid" bubble. Very very cool I feel too slow today to really try for a highscore, but I'll bookmark it to come back to it later on.

Fish Rescue by CrociDB 2024-10-07T14:18:16Z ♥ 1

Great entry! the controls felt a bit sluggish, maybe that's on purpose because I am a fish ? Love the music, the sfx were a bit loud compare to it.

PocketMen by Brookey1201 2024-10-07T13:54:09Z ♥ 2

I have spent way to much time with this entry! Very nice game mechanic!

I am only getting three pocket men for now, I can't find a space for a smelly one, even though there is a checkmark when I put it in some elements (I try to avoid spoiler), I am trying to get the last two things to buy to see if that's it. But that's making the game a bit tedious!

I can't get them out once I have found a spot, so maybe I'll be done when the third one is sitted or maybe some other will appears. The host page was somehow broken when I loaded it (the game was on the bottom left corner, but unzooming and fullscreen the game made it possible to play)

Genus Arcanus by petit 2024-10-07T13:16:39Z ♥ 1

I played multiple run, it was enjoyable to spam the kill key, and have the blood spatter live to tell the story.

After some reruns I managed to ascend in 4 kills. Is that good or bad ?

I just let them live multiple iterations until I had a bunch of chosen elect! Maybe some additional stats, or metrics to follow between run would help ? Even some random "event" (probably don't even need to be related to what the player is doing, like: People Fear You, People have forgotten about you, A rumor that ...) would be nice to increase the interactivity, making people question what they are doing! Changing the background color with the weather condition would be cool to have more visual.

Some bugs/comments: - The vocabulary is not obvious at first of the gradation of gene level ( mundane < prococious [sic] < sensitive < awakened ? ) - The blue on black for the cold preference is too illegible. - I tried several rounds, sometime the game freeze at some point and I can't get nowhere. - The difficulty is lacking, I managed in one run to finish by killing enough on the first screen, or everyone later on. I haven't find a way to lose.

Bean There, Done That by PhilStrahl 2024-10-07T00:11:40Z ♥ 2

whao, it's a very nice entry, the text is light enough that it's agreable to read. The mood is really nice as well. I'll come back later, when I have finished playing it

Goldfish Husbandry by gnats 2024-10-06T23:57:37Z ♥ 1

The fish designs in the game are absolutely beautiful (their flat colors contrast with the bold choice of gradient for the ui design)! I loved watching them swim around the tank. However, I did find the interface a bit unresponsive at times, especially when using the drag-and-drop mechanics on a trackpad, which made managing the fish a little frustrating. Having only one inspector for observing and managing fish added to the challenge, but it made the process feel a bit tedious rather than enjoyable.

That said, I think the game could benefit from an approach where discovering different breeding combinations rather than just aiming for a perfect outcome would add a layer of excitement and reward for experimentation, making the gameplay even more engaging!

Thank you for your game!

TINY PACK by xk_the_name 2024-10-06T23:19:16Z ♥ 13

Nice Entry! I am already hooked

You have managed to pack so many nice mechanics with the idea of letting tiny creature behind

What's the point of the Ram ? I don't get it. I have some glitches while selecting who to let go when starving making it difficult to see the energy value.

I feel that you can't really do anything against getting damage every enemy, as you need several dice roll to defeat it and there is nothing (bare one creature) to play defense.

Overall an extraordinary entry, I felt engaged directly, lost the first game and played a second round. Sadly to short.

Having other mechanisms like reroll and hand size could be nice if you wanted to add stuff in the future (I think I am thinking balatro Mixed with yatzee)

LD51 — Every 10 seconds (51)

The Blood Tree by strong99 2022-10-12T13:04:14Z ♥ 1

I tried a couple of times, and I was not sure what to do at first.

Visually the game is beautiful, but some of the elements are hard to parse (captured humans) as they blend a bit too much in the busy environment.

the game elements are quite small and fast, but the UI is not super responsive. I felt that hovering and then clicking on capture was too slow to really get the humans in a timely fashion (add the fact that we have no clue about the vision range of humans) and it makes it a bit frustrating. The tree elements could serve as a line-of-sight blocker, and the game could play a bit more like a stealth game if it was a bit slower.

It might be interesting in terms of UI to distinguish actions that are timed (or context-based) like capturing humans that are over a spot, and upgrades that are "permanent". Maybe having a build-up, tutorial mode where you get more and more upgrades and spots to gradually discover elements (maybe unzooming gradually on the map) - first, zoom in on the tree, just the trap mechanism, and find the timing of capturing the human without being discover - Unzoom add an area to "grow" a new root - Add a new path, grow blockade or attack - Unzoom completely

Having diegetic elements ( the fruits are both the actual fruits and a UI marker for health and energy) is really cool! However they could be improved a bit. they are hard to track on the actual tree, and it's not very clear when they appear/disappear. I understand why (appear every 10s, and disappear when someone goes by) but you are still treating them as UI elements and not physical elements (they should grow, humans should grab them and take time to remove them)

The initial menu is Excellent ! The followup text could have been on a paper as well !

This a very solid entry, that deserves a follow up!

Smash Hit! by Tuile 2022-10-12T12:39:00Z ♥ 1

I have played a couple of rounds and The above UI shows three symbols and an arrow on the bottom. Every ten seconds the arrows move to the right. But the symbols reshuffle as well... Am I missing something. output.gif

Otherwise very nice game

Enrum by HOLYPERSON 2022-10-11T12:50:58Z ♥ 1

Very solid puzzle game,

I felt frustrated at time, when I had to remove little pieces of previous infrastructure that was proken up by a new path. But I think that's cool, it just meant I had to find the correct order of removing and placing element.

With a track pad, drawing path was a bit clumsy (Ok, I was clumsy...) There is something to be done to help drawing the path, but I don't know what.

The graphics are is cool but there should be something in the tile (lake, mountain...) and connector (road, pipe, ...) design that indicates on which level they operate (ex: brown tile = underground, green tile = ground level, blue tile above ground).

That would maybe lend to nice puzzles with tiles that could be connectors (brown/blue for electricity going from below ground to above ground, brown/green for roads that lead underground. So you would have to connect house -- road -- tunnel entry -- tunnel -- tunnel entry -- road -- house)

Carton Carrier by dimlight 2022-10-10T09:32:11Z ♥ 1

Fun, but the RNG + the extreme time pressure makes it a bit too tense to build anything that works reasonably. So in the end it's frustrating. I could have played for hours, if for every ten seconds I spent building the ship, a new penalty would be added or something like that. Making it my responsibility to increase time pressure. Very very solid entry, I'd play an extend version :)

📺 You Call The Shots! by Choo 2022-10-10T09:22:48Z ♥ 1

Excellent, I was not always sure of what would be the cues to press (sentence being spoken, word, action, sometimes you had visual cues, so I was waiting for them on the next clip). I feel that on one of them reaction time was super short to discover that I might have to press keys on the other side of the keyboard. With practice the game is super enjoyable, it reminds me of the Raving Rabbids games, for the silliness.

You've Got Mail! by macs 2022-10-08T20:27:35Z ♥ 1

Room Again by SofiGnedova 2022-10-08T20:20:11Z ♥ 2

So tense! For once the ten seconds is perfectly balanced! I love the fact that there is a phase of discovery, one loop per item, then a aha I have to do two things ! oh no wait it's three ! and then a Frantically running around to achieve the perfect order of steps. It's amazing to have such a nice and complex three loop run.

Last Pawn Standing - Chess Battle Royale by jsloth 2022-10-08T15:32:49Z ♥ 1

Sooo hard, the resolution is a bit to pixely to cleary see the timer

The book of time magic by Senso 2022-10-08T12:31:24Z ♥ 1

Screen Shot 2022-10-08 at 14.11.34.png I played for far too long as well, The game of shooting enemies is slow but in the meantime, it's only really an excuse to continue playing a 4-colour 2048, which is a very nice game! The mechanics work quite well as you are not really stuck, but you can't get all to a high level. I had fun, trying to max several of them.

Unleashing a big 256 Red is a bit underwhelming! It would be awesome to have more of a kick!

I am of two minds about the progression of the tiles you get with you the level-up. The odd 3 and 5 make it impossible to continue your progression, so at some point, I had to try to sacrifice the odd 1, and 3 left that were hindering me. But on the other hand, that was challenging to clean ( you have to stop playing a bit, to avoid getting more of the colour so you can fully clear it)

Having somewhere what the monster are weak to (maybe by hovering them) would be nice, as I could never remember (however it was never challenging enough, so any decent sortilege would go through monsters)

Having an indication of the next tile to disappear, and which just appear would also help (maybe a small border, or a fade of the colour)

Very strong entry! If you wish you can check mine, it's also a tile-matching-based game!

Racoon-aissance by Kimmyx47 2022-10-05T18:59:52Z ♥ 1

Cute, beautiful, funny. It's a super entry. I like that you get a clue every ten seconds, and not a penalty. It's refreshing to have a positive every ten seconds and not a bad omen !

What Do You Know? by Developer On Trip 2022-10-05T18:57:54Z ♥ 1

For the equation, it would have been nice to specify: Solve for x. I thought the x in (-5x) was a multiply... same on the x= without the space I was reading it all wrong...

Otherwise nice trivia game.

Peter OS by Brandsma 2022-10-05T08:19:07Z ♥ 2

I can confirm that with your tips the app now works on mac Os ! That probably means that I can run the same tip on previous entry not working on my system!

But at some point the apps don't recognize clicks :(

What's the rules? by Pusheeneiro 2022-10-05T07:31:09Z ♥ 1

I thought that the rules of every single game would change every ten seconds (like sometimes the plane has to hit the clouds, sometimes it doesn't have to, sometimes you can move the plane and not the clouds). Meaning that it would be sometime interesting to pace yourself so you start the next game on the "right" ten seconds.

Now I have to go back to those vegetables

Edit: I got the vegetables! I understand that for an actual game to gatekeep the levels that way. However, for competition games, I would advocate for cheat code / hidden menu that allows skipping levels to showcase all your nice work in a timely manner (i.e. you might have people just stop and miss the very cool level X, or your funny ending)

I'll continue playing for a bit

Timeslime by asbjorn 2022-10-04T20:51:41Z ♥ 2

I really dig your UI, the top time/action track is very well made! I would prefer a predictable puzzly game rather than a RNG based on, where I would program my next moves. (Reading other comments, I am not original on that one!)

For Whom The Bell Tolls by Diego Teran 2022-10-04T20:47:57Z ♥ 3

Very nice series of twists of the classical puzzle elements. I love how you departed from the "you die every ten seconds mechanism that forces the player to cram the correct sequences of moves" but kept the dying mechanism around! I did not need the notebook as the story was really pleasant to read through, but it is a very nice addition to a competition puzzle game to ensure players will manage through your game! The moving arrows could be a bit bigger, or a larger zone of the border could serve as the hitbox, It was a bit painful with the trackpad to hit that small target. (small target like screws are fine, but basic navigation should be easy in my opinion)

Is there a native shape recognizer in Godot or did you implement a $ recognizer yourself ?

Prize Pumpkin TD by slimefriend 2022-10-04T20:17:20Z ♥ 0

On the plus side, I found it super original to have towers with different states and thus different attacks cycling, making the planting strategy very unique!

On the down side the color palette is a bit hard on the eye/all over the place for my taste.

The first wave, is hard to catch when you don't know the game mechanic very well. It would be nice if you could find a way to balance it so that we don't lose on the first try. Maybe a tutorial mode, or an ideal placement for the first flower would help discover the game.

Laika's Revenge by bloodyaugust 2022-10-04T19:30:17Z ♥ 1

Nice entry! I played until I got all the upgrades. It did not feel really challenging though as I went straight for damage. I never needed the backpack, nor the oxygen one. I felt the dog movement could use some speed improvement upgrade! It felt a bit sluggish. The increase in enemy across time is nice, they could also become faster.

THe graphics are very nice!

Dr. Word's Machine by Kaish 2022-10-04T18:57:39Z ♥ 5

Very nice game, catching elements is a bit hard sometimes. It would be nice to have a larger hitbox than the text and have a feedback on hover to know when click will grab the elements.

Right now I have three keys, I can't find the last one... One of the room is not showing anymore, I am guessing because I finished with all the puzzle in it ?

At first, the game is too easy and then it's not!! I clicked too fast / involuntarily on the explanation for stage 2, and I think from that point all customer were angry! I don't get the water part... where is the glass ? and when they have multiple numbers am I suppose the give them two cups of coffee or fill it twice ?

Miller's Palm by kr4ft3r 2022-10-04T09:51:38Z ♥ 1

Second Chance by vipbasil 2022-10-04T09:33:40Z ♥ 1

Nice one, I love the story part. The combat part is a bit noisy and I mostly skip over it not really knowing how the combat mechanic would work. I think having only the description of the moves, and some hint that with more skills you could disable the guy or avoid the knife would make me more engage on improving rather than having the score. ( Basil was not fast enough to avoid the knife, the knife grazed but the bleeding got him ... )

Very interesting entry!

Chrono Harvest by sirdorius 2022-10-03T21:37:00Z ♥ 1

Ok, it tooook me so long to understand that you meant dragging stuff by pushing them while pressing with your character and not by *dragging* them with the mouse (like click and drag... I really need to go to sleep.). Maybe the splash screen is missing the fact that your character is moving with wasd and can also push objects along

Past that it is a superb entry! The game design is very nice, graphics are beautiful. I love the slowmo when a bullet goes past you!!

Congrats!

Rocket Madness by Martin183 2022-10-03T21:27:05Z ♥ 2

Beautiful game, Peaceful gameplay.

Here are some suggestions : - I had several collisions that happened almost off the screen. Disabling collisions on a small border around the screen, or having a radar view or edge mark (like when an object is outside of a minimap) indicating an incoming missile would solve that. - The game was very low maintenance, the ten seconds rules did not really put pressure as there was not much to do. - missiles coming from their own border are *too?* easy.

great job!

Rail Rush by FrederoxDev 2022-10-03T21:17:03Z ♥ 0

This game is fun, it has a lot of gotcha! I first thought that I would combine the element and then place the rail... So I had to wait a loooong time for my now inevitable first crash... then I didn't realize that it would be a puzzle game where I could get stuck... so I waited again for the inevitable crash!

The game is hard, I can't find the right order for level 2!

It's a very solid first game ! well done

Soul of Seasons by shimmerscale 2022-10-03T21:10:14Z ♥ 1

The ice skidding is very nice, I was able to sometime jump along the wall to gain access without needing to wait for right season to turn up (left after the water i jumped up before spring).

Some idle game to wait between seasons (like when you miss and have to wait for next fall to gain access to the upper level...) would be nice.

I got stuck on the far left wall.

Very nice entry ! the atmosphere of the game is very comforting and goes well with your game idea, great job!

Cursed to Hop by Weston Goggins 2022-10-03T20:56:46Z ♥ 1

Wwwwhha it's too much for my brain to understand that awesome game mechanic first time around! Playing three lanes, holding to go further on some, having delay for one of them.

Maybe having the character come out one at time, to have some tutorial moment would be better than the text at the beginning (I was not understanding it, having not tried anything). Tutorial mode is a pain to make, but it will really make your game stands out if you can pull it up.

At some points I thought it would be better than the arrow key to use a key on each row of the keyaboard to match their lane. but Switching lane broke my mind a bit more.

You clearly have a good set of mechanics, but they are not for me!

Tremors! by Julian Quirke 2022-10-03T20:46:45Z ♥ 2

Nice although the waiting 10 seconds makes it a bit too slow... since you can easily reach the other end of the board in less than 4 seconds ( correction, I played again after reading Sharkgirl comments with the red challenge, having randomly missed it in my first 12 rounds, and running around makes it now time pressured )

Having the legend for the 4 colors in-game would greatly improve the experience!

I like the character design, it is very well made

Stomp stomp, I am bad at the game...

The graphics are really nice

some *bugs* / caveats - you can sometimes stomp on the way up - A live score would be nice - I think the game elements are a bit too big for this kind of game. e.g. the jumpy guy is a fifth of the screen. I think it should be at most a 6th so you have more room to play, add elements.

Very solid entry! Congrats

Oouhou that's a solid entry !

Nice game mechanic, I thought at first it was easy to hit the corners and then you introduce the real challenge!

The art style is lovely I love the grungy music you got for that game.

Maybe my only complaint is that sometimes the timer end and there are still shields to hit. The time distribution of shield should be made backward from the deadline ( i.e you place the last shield to disapear to synchronise with the end of the ten seconds)

Time To Live: 10 by Lancival 2022-10-03T10:09:19Z ♥ 1

The mac builds "work". Regarding the controls the horizontal surfaces are too slippery and the vertical too sticky for my liking/patience. Q/E doesn't always change, sometimes both of will move at the same time. Not always with the same speed....

Solid entry with the tutorial levels, that you can still skip to see the level design even if you don't complete it (useful for a jam/competition)

Unlucky Town by tanis 2022-10-03T10:01:41Z ♥ 1

Nice game!

I like the creepy guy as a second game mechanic to play around when you have played all you can in the round. I like this kind of game mechanics, but I think it's too much RNG... there is not really any room to strategize what building to build?

I could maybe anticipate, a tornado I'll play a bit more of one or another. Maybe having card to "look into the future".

Solid game (and the mac version works)

beautiful graphics, and enjoyable music. I like the bumpy feeling of the fish people! But otherwise the controls feel a bit too slippery.

Not much to keep you interested for too long, is the difficulty ramping up ? Or was there challenges that I missed ( I can come back and play again if I went to short, I delivered about 5 pizzas )

Samurai Halloween by Nion 2022-10-03T09:36:35Z ♥ 2

I understand the concept, but it feels way too slow, to be entertaining.

Dodging while waiting is fine, but the big attack should wipe a lot of the enemies (so that the wait is worth it). A mix of dodging positioning yourself in the middle of the throng and then unleash your attack.

The player controls are a bit too slippery (I have no idea how to make a player controller feels grounded (maybe ramping up the acceleration?) ), Maybe having a dash ?

I felt that the double Z to actually get something was cumbersome, but didnt play long enough to become good with it. I often got it trying to get the lock on... or forgeting once the lock was on to attack for real.

The graphics / mood is very nice. Some audio would help.

Nice first Entry! You've got a game with a score and a high score (which I tend to forget). I went until 147 but got bored because it does not seem to increase in difficulty across time.

I find the concept of seeing less and less nice, it would be even better if the trail were above the new elements ( e.g. draw a black trail on a white image and use it as a mask to know if you should write the pixel ). You could then clean this mask with the wipe or even have it drips.

Nice entry!

LD48 — Deeper and deeper (111)

ROOTS by TheGreenWorm 2021-05-02T21:06:38Z ♥ 2

I loved how the game changed from find the water with the main root, to go down down down, avoid the obstacles while the smaller root will provide for you! Very nice to have two strategies in one game.

The worst thing is how much it's a hog on my system (web/chrome/macos) the best thing is the autosaved progress that kicked in when I had to kill the tab and reload! I am very interested on how you did that! Note: the deepest is not saved so at first I thought it did not work !

Roots Puzzle by wdebowicz 2021-05-02T16:46:04Z ♥ 1

Super nice puzzle game! So many time I thought "ok I got that now!, I can go straight to the end"... and fail! Back to the drawing board ;)

You could try an hexagonal board version to have a more organic look to your trees and root!

Something Fishy by mharring 2021-05-02T10:54:49Z ♥ 2

I have a very mixed feeling about this game : - By far the worst control for me! I could not wrap my head around the turning and going straight. It was a pain to maneuver the ship. Once you got something in the claw it made the whole thing worse. It got so dark that I could not see anything shortly after the ship head light went on.

- The story and the very nice graphics / mood kept me going for more. When I got to the end, I was scrambling to get out, wrestling the control in pitch black. It somehow gave sense to the uncontrolable ship and poor vision, it increase my stress and I was fully engaged as if I was panicking during a dive. So good job there, it's a great game in the end! Congrats

Could you lose the game if you stay too long underwater when the thing is after you ? I left my fish tank at the bottom :(

I tried to invert my keyboard control but that did not made it better... I know that this controls are fine for a car game seen from above. But strangely for me they don't work when you see the sub from the side. I am research in human computer interaction, and now I wonder if there are research on that.

Deep in mars by DocSystem 2021-05-01T18:33:12Z ♥ 1

Beautiful game and UI.

I was overthinking it : thinking I had to link building or have a correct ratio of worker / storage room / barracks. But in the end having a lot of factories is the only growth factor right ?

Maybe implementing some sort of rules : Factory must touch at least one storage and one barracks, but no factory. Barack must touch at most X and Y. etc. etc. Would make the base a bit more interesting/challenging to build / rebuild when some units are destroyed.

Dig it up, dog! by MaDuShI 2021-04-30T14:32:27Z ♥ 1

Excellent, good timing! Perfect length for a mini fun game.

If I had one thing to add : I would add a badge system to know which of the option I have explored! That would incentivize some replay.

Drilling With Dice by KunoNoOni 2021-04-30T13:25:09Z ♥ 0

I think a die game is nice, but it should have more combinations. Like pair or sequence could unlock different level ( sort of a yatzee ). So you could try to get something with your throw.

* Pair : 10 * die value * Sequence > 3 die : 50 * lenght of sequence * Triplet : 20 * die value * product that make 48 ( 2 4 6, 2 2 6, 4 2 3 and so on ) one free reroll or 500m

You could have a set of challenges for each processing day ( like 3 random sequence to match ) with different values

* you could also buy saving throw, or modifiers ( + 1 to a die, 1 die reroll and so on )

Nice game, the pixel art and the color palette is very nice!

I took some times to get the game mechanics, some mini explanation of the combat would be nice. What is the last upgrade in the list ?

a bit too slow to click, I think it would be nice to reoder the mole or to have them go quite automatically

MineSystem by TheGamerASD 2021-04-30T08:15:36Z ♥ 1

I love a clicker game, yours is nice :

To make it better I would advise starting you compo/jam by looking at some color palettes. There are lots of online tools to create a palette, or some existing ones. It would help tighten the look of your game. Maybe you can challenge yourself to a 4, 3 or even 2 tone palette for the next jam. But otherwise a 16/32 palettes gives you plenty of space to design a great entry.

A bit sad that is doesn't work when unfocus, I have to monitors and I would have played it while reading my mail :) ( I would have miss the story though )

Crown of the Mountain King by vilcans 2021-04-30T07:39:31Z ♥ 1

I remember this kind of game from when I was a kid controlling you descent with a limited amount of fuel (Should I go for sucide burn vs controled descent ?). So much nostalgia. I was bad at them! I thought that it was because I was a kid. But apparently not, I am still very bad at it!

Thank you for your entry

Running Late by Andreia 2021-04-30T07:06:34Z ♥ 1

Excellent fast paced game!

Everything is there, the music set a fast mood of stress to find the items, the theme is there as you go deeper and deeper in the couch! The grabby grabby is just like a claw machine, impossible to get right and completly frustrating (I don't know how much is on purpose, but I love it)

Kudos for the super nice menu, difficulty selection and player customization. I thought At first it would be the couch color... ( you could also add a customize couch (buy a couch) and customize the shirt color).

My only complaints is that going out of the screen to get out of the couch usually lose the focus on the web version. Maybe recommend full screen, or somehow capture the mouse.

Apapon by Occasoftware 2021-04-30T06:50:14Z ♥ 1

NIce and simple entry.

At first I thought I was dying constantly and not getting around anything. Then I understood that I was winning the level!

* Definitively starts with longer level, it really seems like just dying after a couple of seconds * Maybe just have the text **Level X** flash in between levels

I most often fall through platform and enemies. And winning a level was a matter of not touching the controls. I like the kill enemies through jet pack fire! But as you said the hit box where probably to small.

Ancient Civilizations by ForeverTrash 2021-04-29T21:30:42Z ♥ 1

Congrats on finishing a compo game!

From my few experience I learned that for a game jam to do well you should really hammer the basic and have a prototype running quickly. Having a goal, a way of measure progress and clear user interactions are for me the essence of something working.

For exemple even if the graphics are not there, a expanding circle (or just a circle) appearing when you attack) would suffice to indicate.

I love the mummies!

LAYERS by Le Slo 2021-04-29T20:32:38Z ♥ 1

Nice, but a longer tutorial, or a cheat sheet somewhere... edit: well I guess there is a comment on itch.io that kinda help. But a visual one as gorgeous as the rest of the art would go a long way to make the game truly awesome.

The fact that once you know the mechanic the game is a good puzzle is enough. The learning curve doesn't do much I think.

Congrats on the audio/graphical part its truly gorgeous. I'll bookmark it for future ref.

Coal Mine: Terrorist Takedown by exewin 2021-04-29T15:03:09Z ♥ 1

I tried on chrome on mac os, and it quickly became sluggish...

I liked the art, it's quite clear from above what is what. SFX are fun! Level design are nice.

It felt a bit too boring at first, I killed some baddies that where just shooting at the wall not trying to get a clear view. It felt like shooting ducks.

It was fun, I was trying on purpose to drop the lamp... but decided to leave when it was not possible.

I had a good laugh.

Maybe It would be nice to have an accident possible for all elements, and a normal situation. The accident always being the last one you try. And have a groundhog day effect where you would play different order of breaking everything! Trying to find the correct way of looking at the exhibit without ruining it!

Man that first text entry was hard... I am so used to type a space after a dot... Some space cleaning or a bit more forgiving algorithm would be nice...

I am so bad at the game of tacquin... it's a deal breaker if you don't know how to solve it.

I liked the ribbon effect to follow the story. The blue panels are not polished as well, particularly seeing the corners of the panel.. It would be nicer if the panel would be large enough so that they seem infinite

Nice, I am a bit sad that you github only has two commits. I would have love to see the dev process across the commits to get a better feels on how professional game maker go about making a game like that.

Do you just use github to store the code at the end. How do you manage your code base during the development ?

PIBE by Mog13 2021-04-28T21:28:25Z ♥ 3

Nice idea of coupling a puzzle game of avoid ennemies with a game where you are limited by air and you have to get back to the surface.

I keep dying because the one heart to start is kinda unforgiving. And I am not very good at it. It would be nice also to have a way to get back your hearts at the shack because I sometime got back with half a heart and not enough money to buy something. So I start my next dive ready to die...

I did not play very long, but it might start to get tedious to always go through you the same route again and again. A checkpoint system might be cool.

Bus Crawl by Valid 2021-04-28T20:57:56Z ♥ 1

It's a neat concept that is super promising but as many have said there are some tweakings to do.

* the roadway network seems off and the buses takes sometimes strange roads. There should be some road hiearchy ( arterial, collector, local roads ) You have a lot of cul-de-sac right now, and express buses that link area are using local road instead of going on the highway. Balancing maps that are challenging and realistic will be a road for development of the game in the future.

Some ideas I'd extend this game

* multistop bus lane

* Some kind of mechanism of limiting the number of bus lane on a specific edge could creates game mechanic when competing against an AI ( like taking the bridges as crucial choke points )

* different kind of lane, local bus loop with multiple stop. Or express buses from neighbourhood to neighbourhood.

Nice entry! Lovely atmosphere, the music is really cool.

I loved that I found my old drone sitting there, and used beacons. In the second dive I did not use the beacons.

The light slowly dying when you are so deep is very nice, I once saw a battery but at to consider going out of my way to get it, or try to make it with the remaining of light!

Archeo by zimny11 2021-04-28T16:21:20Z ♥ 1

Nice game mechanics! As many have said and you already answered the balance in between the tasks need to be redone. It would be very nice if it took longer for things to dig.

Some mini game could be added for the left part as well for extra points/fame : like an hard dig, a particular sensible brushing to be done. Like a star with a timer would appear and as the chief archeologist you go get your hand dirty instead of you minions (probably some phd Students)

Mineshaft by ditam 2021-04-28T13:24:32Z ♥ 1

Nice game, I dream of making a card game. But coming out with a cool game mechanic is super hard in 48H!

I think I broke the UI at some point, the sieve seems to workd strangely, then a rock stay on the screen, then the lantern panel would stay...

You should drop a line in the description about what'S the end game / or is it a spoiler ? Edit: I found the end game. I lost cause I spend to much on equipement... Screen Shot 2021-04-28 at 15.21.36.png

Some ideas to go further : * Having 3 possible decks to explore! 2 of them has Diamonds at the end,1 have magma! Anyway it would be the end game if the 2 diamonds are reveal or the magma ( that would cause death ). Greedy greedy

10,001 - A space exploration game by tengusheath 2021-04-28T13:08:05Z ♥ 1

Space is too damn deep!

Cool entry, the danger bipping became tedious so I stopped my exploration before really finding landmarks. I understand from you answer to comments that you wanted any direction to have landmark. Maybe have the landmark generate offscreen based on the radius of the exploration. So any direction is equally interesting ( you could add an amount of variation, based on the angle or pure random, to add to the repliability... ) that said, I am keeping that idea for my next compo.

the *Atmosphere* is very neat.

w o r m by exoticorn 2021-04-28T12:49:10Z ♥ 1

This is a very solid game! The you start slowly avoiding rock, your own tail as in a snake game to realize you are going to get stuck against a wall of rock. And then the real game starts. At first I went through wall a bit to early each time, meaning it was then difficult to find something to eat. Finally I ate a whole wall and won.

Maybe have large rocks or ore that are uneatable to prevent the player to sniff a line and going berkzerk ? Or maybe that's the game play ?

At some points when I ate a very small rock the screen became redish until I ate a larger block. Close to the end it was a bit strange the background did not scale correctly : Screen Shot 2021-04-28 at 14.42.40.png

Scatter Gold by Sthealthinator 2021-04-28T09:49:41Z ♥ 1

Nice entry! I kept dying at first, the left arrows are working, but not the up arrow to jump! When I move back to the correct input it was better. (Now I read other comments I am not the only one!)

The graphics are very nice, the chromatic aberration effect is a bit strong.

I am not very good with this kind of platformer, the hitbox of spike is a bit sensible. I understand the idea of the grind. Not my taste but I think that is the attraction of this kind of game.

Very great entry all across the board!

The pixel art is very nice, the surface seems very crumbly and I like it.

It felt a bit too clunky to dig, the cool down between the digs is a bit too long for my taste.

It felt that getting hit is a bit too random/unavoidable.

It was nice to have a nice Mac Os build! THank you!

Neon Maze by OMG BlackBeard 2021-04-28T09:21:37Z ♥ 0

The look is polished, the music is nice which create, it took me a while to understand I could move the cursor to look around. It was strange to move laterally for a long time...

I could see the skybox while hugging the wall. Maybe just change the environement to be a uniform color.

I got bored before finding anything...

Dreep - Drilling Deep by DrSomma 2021-04-27T15:08:28Z ♥ 0

Nice One! I had a lot of fun playing it.

It's a cool game! Speed is definitively the best attribute to upgrade.

In term of game balance : At first I was not sure about the balance of the differente tiles ( dirt is cheap to dig, it seems better than the dirt ore ? ) but deeper in the game it felt right. Going deep and finding the green gem is a direct "win". The game could be a bit longer with something at the very bottom (like something at the edge of the accessible with the fully upgraded driller )

it seems that there is the up key in the "intro" text but it does not do anything.

At first I thought the tank upgrade was the driller in itself (rather than the gas tank)

the sfx becomes annoying at larger speed. Maybe more variation in the drill noise.

the graphics are super polished!

Deeper Faster by vikaster 2021-04-27T14:34:57Z ♥ 1

Oh my, it'S trippy. I love the jump animation that phase shift you outside of this world!

I don't like the collision system, it's hard to control the jump and not to hit the top of the screen, your previous dead bodies, stuck monsters!

Miner Rescue by mjbelanic 2021-04-27T13:36:52Z ♥ 1

Nice Idea, but the controls are a bit too clumsy. I kept getting stuck in wall or on corner losing precious energy! *Hovering* is near impossible, the control are not sensible enough, sometimes it triggers sometimes it seems to miss the input...

Graphics are simple but cool and effective!

Vibin' Secrets by mDuo13 2021-04-27T13:14:37Z ♥ 1

Not always sure if I had to be on the sport or in front of it to interact with it. I was frustrated with the moving elements never being in front of me because I could not synchronize my moves... I was being dumb as pressing space repetedly worked to pass time.

Miningsweeper by Nick Barrash 2021-04-27T12:44:19Z ♥ 1

Ooo nice idea, my first LD (the 32 I think) was a minesweeper as well. It's very nice to mix multiple level of minesweeper. Maybe having a UI that allows to see all the layer at the same time would be nice.

SPERMA by the neon shark 2021-04-27T08:22:16Z ♥ 1

Amazing entry I spend so long to update the fleet, I reach the ovum so many time with just an insufficient amount of sperms.

I find it very impressive to have found physic/fleet parameter that upgrade well ( cohesion in particular ). It's *easy* to have parameter for rogue like that are turn based ( like strength of the attack ). FInding the right balance is amazing in a gameJam.

Music is tricky when the game run long... I'd go for slower mooody music to extend the loop time.

Dragon Space by timeloopedpowergamer 2021-04-27T07:51:19Z ♥ 1

Nice idea to have a clicker game to understand the depth of space. It would have been nice to have some visualisation of this depth rather than just the list, or proportional space between elements ( a zooming effect as you accelerate).

The audio is cool, is that procedural music generating during the game or did you generated one fixed version ?

Corona 69 by Elektroney 2021-04-27T07:35:18Z ♥ 1

Music, ambient and SFX where nice.

It terms of gameplay, I liked the idea of avoiding missile to infect the policemen. It worked well. Maybe an upgrade system of area of effect, time other people get infected and so on would add layer of complexity to the game.

The guy threw the 3rd ball so high I pass most of the time chasing it! I got it on the timer! I felt like a good boy.

some more physical effect like dampening the ball, friction with the ground would make the experience feels a bit more real!

So Deep in Space by KeyLime 2021-04-27T06:45:05Z ♥ 1

Fun game! Controls are too fast and too snappy for my personal taste.

I love the idea of having asteroid come from the depth, it might have worked great with my autostereogram effect to see that depth and understand when asteroid are at your level and when the planet is close enough ( on a much much slower speed ).

Left click to select / **Right Click to deselect**

The second one was really important, I only figured it out in the 4x4 puzzle. You can cheese it out, since you have only 1/16th chance of making a mistake by right clicking at random. Then if you do make a mistake you found the correct one and you solve the puzzle!

Nice puzzle game overall! Did you made the board by hand or do you have a clever algorithm to make sure there is enough clues ?

Would have been nice to fail the mission! You know everything can go so wrong , feel the pressure you have with space mission (like taking the picture, or not pressing space too long and realize later on you need fuel.

Nice game!

I find myself waiting safely a lot, I would rather have a turn based game, where ennemies move one/two cell each time you move, than having to wait.

Diving Bubble by thesnide 2021-04-26T15:01:31Z ♥ 1

OOoh that'S a mental challenge to keep color order in your mind, change quick enough...!

Some suggestions on the gameplay: * Having a visual indicator at the bottom of incoming bubble would be nice ( like a horizontal bar of the color, that would shrink and become a bubble), would help anticipate the future. * For the color of your bubble instead of hidding the next and having to have the cognitive workload, have the border of the bubble with all the color and x rotate tue bubble a quarter turn.

Nice and fun!

I don't know the original game, but I had fun exploding and splatting the two enemies! the destroyable terrain feels very smoothy, and cool :)

I have a trouble knowing when to buy or sell if I am the only one playing....

maybe use B and S instead of left and right. it's not evident which one is buy or sell. Or maybe up and down since the price increase of decrease..

What are the controls ? I can'T do anything ( chrome on macos ) Don't change the game after the compo, keep the compo link. Make a specific release for the post mortem, but it is important to keep the compo a compo. Better create a new game! I'll come back to play the game if you notify me with the controls !

Whaou, So funny to feel the the ship move around and being dragged, or to fight to go back to the front! Frustration but in a good way!

I love the physics inside!

Maybe some visual indication of what the button do. Their position was not that evident!

Nice smooth character animation!

Motion is a bit choppy or you sometime get stuck on the wall or in the floor!

I made all the wrong choice before finishing the game. I wished very hard for a run mode!

Deep Castle by Nabu 2021-04-26T12:44:27Z ♥ 0

Nice animation for the knight. A bit short and I fell off the world once I think

Maybe some text to explain the keyboard keys. You can have them written on the wall to avoid adding to much code.

I like the flicking interaction, it worked well on desktop. Audio is good.

I don'T have a wallet so I didn't partake in the NFT thing. Maybe explain a bit more what was the idea or what it does ?

Blue Eye - Salvage & Rescue by PurpledArtFrog 2021-04-26T12:23:28Z ♥ 3

The mood is good, the underwater atmosphere is well done! Graphics and Audio are superb

However I did not know at first if I had to pick the fish or not. Maybe have elements appears one at a time. Hard to read that text it sometimes disapear.

I could not avoid the submarine, to large too fast for my ship.

Nice job. The progression is good to understand the mechanics door opening, wall hugging (or if felt that way)

Definitively too slow paced for me, I was pressing the arrow keys very strongly to try to move faster!

Sometimes the wall hugging is clumsy

ADOA - Addition Dino Offspring Alive by fabrito 2020-04-21T21:30:25Z ♥ 2

Fun familly game there!

I did the first level slow to feel controls. Got the addition right first time :) Ok nice mechanic, can see how to show it to the kids. the dino kid is having a hiccup before the second platform. I thought ok lets go fast to see how the game progress. Then I hit the balancing of the rock, which is a cool mechanic but a bit tedious. I love the fact that the platform feel the weight of the dropping stone, and that they roll. But it roll too much. So a kid would not know right away if he got the math wrong or just the landing. Some starting rotation of the stone are easier than other The first level where you have to put weight on the first platform are a nice level progression ( made me think, how do I substract in this game! ). Make for a lot of plannification for the kid, higher number then equilibrate.

Not sure i got the ascending one in the correct order, i think the dino kid jump while the platform was not stabilized all the way...

KEEP IT ALIVE by yy404 2020-04-21T21:09:51Z ♥ 1

Great concept, love the "material" of the black cube they fell dense, the blue ball felt really slick and reflected the fact that it moved so fast

I am not sure I understand the mine mecanic... do they explode multiple at once in a line ? I mostly run back and forth between the start up place and the further i could go, dropping mine on the way to be sure I could come back, cause I was once caught in a black cube and could not move anymore... got to 87 point and 160s I think in easy mode.

THe game would be better with a bit more explanation, even in the description on this page. Also I felt like I was waiting for the next mine to appear, and that I was slow down by that.

Peacemaker by Sandra Jasionowska 2020-04-21T20:04:38Z ♥ 2

I love the monocromatic palette used for the game makes for a great mood. The music is very cool too, has a nice vibe. THe SFX are quite rough ( one of the uh/Ah is too out of the mood) and break a bit that nice mood. Make you really want to peace this guys! I am bad at this kind of move and aim game, this was one I was especially bad at aligning myself and not having the enemies stuck in half a wall being able to shoot myself. great jam game

Wonder by Ian Kettlewell 2020-04-20T21:17:40Z ♥ 1

Where is the poetic criteria!! The mood is amazing, the sfx of the wind when your speed increase is on point, the crystal ting of the star is exactly how a start should sound if a kid could touch them! it's a childish dream. thank you for this compo!

You can cheat by drawing a stack of line under the ball to raise it, no need to ever reset... You have a typo in the description on itch.io : *Cotrols* instead of *Controls*

Keep It Alive Game by ZerohBeat 2020-04-20T21:09:04Z ♥ 1

A nice entry! I love the intro, breaking out of the egg and having controls slowly enable. That's a great feature. The sfx is good and create a light mood as well as the physic engine that make you feel very light. Maybe some sprite height adjustment when you jump ( crouching and extending) and land ( dampening ) would make it a bit more grounded.

Not Clowning Around! by Wilson Taylor 2020-04-20T20:44:25Z ♥ 1

Man that stress! I got lucky on the first try as i knew the cocktail. Was harder on the second when you have to read two things at the same time. And not just hmm hmm at the guy! I love the panic of doing 3 thing at the same time, the cognitive work load is intense and the music is keeping you on your toes. > The recipe book is unreadable in the good way ( hard to read at first, meaning you have to focus even more ) > The script is very good, I must try a text based game next time! > I don't like the canon though. It feel off ( i mean it goes well with the clown, but with the bar...) its input button is supposed to represent what ? Having visual cues would maybe help making it less frustrating, I mean I am one hell of a bartender I know how to use it, and it would make one more thing to look at.

Amazing entry. Wish you the best

Steve: Cute & Hungry by JuiceGrape 2020-04-20T20:27:04Z ♥ 2

Nice puzzle game with a smart/funny setting.

the user interface is nice, being able to speed things up. I would have kept the speed setting in between levels rather than resetting it. Like the fact that I could sped up the text once I appreciated the message typing effect. SFX and Artwork are nice, maybe the munching could have been even better if the adventurer sprite would pass behind the monster sprite. Very nice mechanic with the arming and cooldown of the traps.

Great game!

Come to Mama by Louis hayes greenwood 2020-04-20T20:17:10Z ♥ 1

Oh my god! Best game so far! I love everything about it! At first my baby always get alive and as I am so panic about it, trying to figure things out as everything is moving. Just like the baby in real life, (not stoping and running toward every dangerous thing in the appartement / not the being eaten alive part! ) Then the first level are easy/fun to solve as long as you keep the baby in the corner of your eyes.

I can't play for long tonight but I'll come back for more! Nice work!

Planets wars by raguel 2020-04-20T20:03:38Z ♥ 1

whoo oo the control are nice! I usually s**k at this kind of game but I really enjoyed this one! Fighting against the rotational pull was very well done.

The progression level is harsh : first one is a breeze, and direct on the start of the second level I was hit hard! I could not figure out the missile, and without some kind of minimap you lose a bit of context ( where is the planet, where are the ennemies, is my planet ok ). Some of it can be ok, so that you go and check back.

Music is nice, sound effects are good, art work is compelling ! A great jam game!

Fun fun fun! Hard to understand what everything do, but since dying and restarting is seemless it's no biggy you can run around again and again to discover what everything do. A bit to hectic for my taste, as it is late so I didn't run around to find the two secrets. I have bookmarked it for another day :) Overall a great sweet (jammy even) game!

Hacking is Probably Not Like This by sayumeki 2020-04-20T14:24:26Z ♥ 0

Man, that's a game!

I haven't add the time to go through all the level, but I'll definitively play again.

At first reading the text for the game made me lost a lot of time. Having a separate splash screen, (or during the connexion screen) would make it better. As the game progress and you connexion speed increase that screen would become less and less visible.

Life by pke1029 2020-04-20T14:14:45Z ♥ 1

Awesome! The game of life has always been a favorite of mine ! I must have programmed it over and over in every language.

The spacebattle is what made me love the game, what a fun concept. It could be tweak so that square (2x2) don'T bring you that much score as they are stable. Maybe when you hit a live, check which "species" it belongs to ( if it belongs to one of the ship Extra point, if it belong to a stable no point ) otherwise some points !

Music is too loud, but nice.

Love the anedocte and the homage !

Nice clicky clicky game! I wanted to click so fast. Art and sounds are great and pleasing and puts you in the mood for more clickyclik.

I am missing some sort of diminishing return for creating the bouquet, or some client requests. Maybe having sell price as well as buying price would help the UI.

Good job!

I ran a long time not seeing any enemies, then turn around and a long line of twelve was pursuing me. I think that maybe the AI track the player from too far away.

They Come from Behind by nonetheless 2015-04-23T09:06:00

I died a lot. Waiting 20 seconds for the initial dialog to repeat one more time made me rage quit before going very far in the game. What I played was nice though

Malilbro by uniuni 2015-04-22T22:15:00

Lovely character design, background and mood are a bit grim for my taste but that is not a bad element in any way.
I find it hard to know where to go or what to do, in particular how many feather are in a level and how many are expected to open a door to the next area, plus the fact that the next area only open when you come close to it make it difficult to understand. Your weapon ( a piece of paper ? ) is slower than the character making it difficult to shoot and avoid the monster.
Good entry

Shield of Light by rmc 2015-04-22T19:59:00

Way to hard for me, I lasted 1'41 :(
I liked the concept, the round and confined space, the audio and the background graphics.
Didn't like :
- I can't go through create nor shine the light but monster can.
- I felt I was way to slow to do an avoid strategy or to reach the light in time, sometimes the light moved far away and monster cornered me without no way for me to escape.

Upgrades (speed, life, larger shield...) would make a nice addition to the game.

Elements by efux 2015-04-22T19:45:00

Interesting variety on the weapons. Although the control were to clumsy and I quit before finishing the game. Polishing the controls and having a "tutorial" were you go through each weapons would make it a very nice game!
