Ok just downloaded and played this game, and good things first it looks really really nice - a dark oppressive atmosphere with some reflective surfaces and interesting 3d environment as well as very good use of typography to further emphasis the Mayan feeling, in the intro. However the gameplay let me a bit stumped, I clicked on two doors in the first room and then saw some smoke and then a black screen then nothing more, and this is as far as I can get after trying the first level a few times, so I am a little confused as to what I am supposed to do next. The sound FX are also worth mentioning they are creepy and suitably Mayan. Visually it blends the new and the old in an interesting way and you can see how it could be a great game if there is more time to develop the gameplay.
The graphics and FX of this game were really well done and helped create an atmosphere for the game, in terms of the gameplay itself I liked how it started with some mysterious voice talking to you and encountering some strange visual effects as you move close, however the main gameplay could of been better, you had to slay 30 characters in a square room but it could be better as they don't attack, you just run around and attack until all are dead. However the author states this is a demo and its a good start of something. The player model is particularly impressive. The enemies could be made into something else I think. The sound FX were minimal but effective. The controls were ok but I had to refer to the starting guide to understand how to swing my sword. This could be made more simple - I think a simple right mouse click would suffice for this. But good effort and great graphics!

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/297110828 Live streamed playing this earlier - just before the last game I play, I like the game but wish it had sound. However it had some really nice graphical elements, and followed the theme well, seemed quite ambitious in scope.
I enjoyed this game a lot, for something made in 72 hours it was seriously impressive! Loved the paradoxical layour and simple puzzles, only thing I would say is it needs more sound / music. I livestreamed it before on Twitch will share on here shortly :) One of my faves so far
I really loved this, couldn't get past 10 but didn't want to stop trying, streamed it on twitch will send link once its up on YouTube
Managed to beat it! Cool little game, live streamed playing it on twitch will link up in a bit, good fit for the theme, and I liked the audio is it somehow generative?? It seemed sort of random like it was generative and not a theme song looping
Quite fast paced and fun following a Retro Action RPG formula of maze and shoot and pick up items, graphics are simple and stylised and do the job - somewhere between minecraft and aforementioned classic RPG, gameplay is simple and fast paced shoot and grab items / find keys etc. However I found when I found the exit the game didn't provide any kind of ending apart from a message saying you found the exit which was a bit underwhelming.
Still it was fun for what it is.
The gameplay is hard but it is well executed and a very original idea, also I like how the music helped ramp the tension up, once I played it a few times I started to get the knack of it, streamed it on my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/noirvortex
Hahaha loved it, streamed playing it on twitch. Love metal.
Played it on twitch here, enjoyed it! https://www.twitch.tv/videos/253784053
Cool will take a look in a bit
Very enjoyable game , just did a short initial play video of it which I will upload soon.
Love the meta joke of this, done a video of my playing it too will be online shortly, brill!
ahaha really enjoyed that, top score of 2028 on the 2nd round, funny concept and well made.
Hello done a video review of your game https://youtu.be/Jo5VgMO3sR8
funny concept, however I couldn't complete it as the last cats seemed to be walled off in an area that was impossible to access and I think it needed some sound FX for fire to really make me panic more. The end was quite funny but you had a few spelling mistakes and I think you could add more to this to make it more polished. Cheers, done a video review of this too will post up shortly. (Doing a few initial play reviews)
I like the concept even though it is a familiar one, and I though the game was well executed and offers some replay value due to the different difficulty modes, and the core game mechanic. Graphics were also well done, esp liked the particle FX and glow FX.
A fun game, just wish it had a multiplayer mode! I.e so you can play your mates online too! But yeah gonna save this one and see if my housemate wants to play it sometime. I enjoyed the graphics - well done. 8-bit Retro style, and the concept was an amusing one I'm sure to anyone who's ever been in a band hahaha
Hello I just played this for 15 minutes in Chrome and I really enjoyed it, reminded me of classic Bullfrog Titles like Theme Park and Dungeon Keeper, albeit with a lighter mood than the latter.
I thought the graphical style was slick and well presented and the UI / UX was smooth, and felt seamless and light. I felt it had a deceptively simple game mechanic on first play, and it has real replay value, I found myself wanting to play it more and explore more of what the mechanic delivers when you develop the town to a certain level.
It was surprisingly easy to lose relatively fast on the first play I found but once I understood what the game was about it became very intuitive and enjoyable. A really slick and fun game which I would play again.
Ok so just played a few mins on this, and I will start with some positive before I offer some constructive crit - I think the concept for this, is great and a very interesting one, not often explored in games, which is good, and a mark of an interesting mind at play.
However with the game I struggled to get far, there is no audio as far as I can tell which it would benefit from to increase atmosphere, some of the spelling is off (but you are young I think so I don't want to be toooo harsh with that, you should of seen my spelling when I was younger and even now sometimes! haha), the game also crashes for me to the main menu when I die / fall.
I don't want to be harsh but I think you could improve this but I think this is a good idea that could be developed much further. The initial bath area could also be made to have more features such as mirrors etc.
Just played this, It's a very funny idea and an original one too - I thought the graphics were really nicely done and the FX for the various drugs and of the various drugs provided many belly laughs hahah, it's a solid short game with some replayability too.
The game mechanic is simple but provides some variation and randomness so it is a game I imagine you can just flit on for a bit when you want some amusement. If I had a criticism I would say some of the spelling is off on some of the text, though I think at times this was intentional given the players state. Overall a really enjoyable little game with some amusing scenarios and outcomes from your drunken / high / trippy decisions

Newster - A Fantasy Social Media Sim by NamidaSai 2020-10-08T16:32:27Z ♥ 0
Interesting contemporary spin in a fantasy context , good art style. Funny content as well, I like the satirical nature of the 'newts', I've only played it once so far but be interesting to see how replyable it is after a amount of time, though it seems the developers have a lot of 'newts' the game draws from. I think an interesting take on the theme too.
Closed Circuit by Criobite 2020-10-08T16:19:46Z ♥ 2
This was very slick, I liked the flash animation myself, I thought it worked, I managed to get a score of 12520 before being killed by a swarm of the enemies. Sound and music is also quite atmospheric - music especially is good - sort of dark techno vibes (and looks from the time-lapse like you composed it yourself). The overall mood was quite cyberpunk, and the graphics are well composed and consistent given the time limit.
Really solid effort. The gameplay is fun enough though perhaps a bit repetitive, was there any purpose to being able to aim up and down?? But apart from that, well done!
Looped by Leo Red 2020-10-08T07:50:45Z ♥ 1
Fun arcade style game, with some replayability (I wanted to find out if I could 'beat it'), matches the theme well, graphics are simple but ok enough though I think if you wanted to further it it would benefit from some characterisation, also personal preference but I think this is a game which would benefit from some music or more sound effects, the sound effects as they are are fine, classic arcade game sounds, Overall though a nice simple game which is easy to play and hard to beat.
Stuck In A Loop by runrajrun 2020-10-07T21:04:05Z ♥ 1
A fun arcade style game , would of benefited from sound effects I think as well, but overall pretty good, the graphics with the glow style enhance the otherwise simple style and give it that retro arcade style.
Appease The Gods by japes 2020-10-07T20:56:12Z ♥ 2
The god on the right is a real mardarse hahaha took me a while to get him to even be meh ahah, seems like his is the harder to please god. I like the idea of this but feel it could be given more controls, more actions etc and it would become more interesting as a game later on in its development if you choose to do more on it. Graphics wise the player looks fairly good, and the gods as emoji's is quite clever but the ground looked a bit glithy when I played it. Sound wise the ohhhhhahh of the gods is good, but it would be good to get different sounds based on different emotions from the gods. Overall I like the idea. Maybe you could give the player hints at good actions and made it somehow 'coded'? Like you see a quarter of the movements they approve of but not all.
DJ Loopz by gamezero 2020-10-07T08:54:00Z ♥ 1
haha I loved this one, overall a great little game - good graphics, and I like this 'spin' on the theme too.
Looty Loop by BitOfGold 2020-10-06T18:38:47Z ♥ 1
I really like the graphics on this one, really interesting lo-fi look, sound fx were also sort of retro, only thing is I am not exactly sure how it fits the theme of stuck in a loop but I didn't play it till the end so maybe it becomes more apparent as you play - a pretty original entry though for the graphics style especially
Temporal Loop by nohac 2020-10-05T15:14:32Z ♥ 2
This is a really nice concept - thinking three dimensionally in 2d, I like the art style too, and the way it manages to introduce you to the game mechanics gradually, I really like the mechanic of spacebar and then teleporting to the opposite side, means you have to think laterally to beat it, so far I have managed to grab I think 4 of the spaceship parts. The galaxy that swirls lightly in the background is a good visual effect too. Overall a really solid entry.
Weighing of the Heart by thesedatedprince 2020-10-05T14:29:02Z ♥ 2
This is an interesting interpretation of the theme, influenced somewhat by the Egyptian concept of the weighing of the heart I guess? I liked the replayability with different audience members but not sure if there ever is an ending of some sort or perfect combination that unlocks and ending. Graphics are consistent in style and for what they are quite nice especially the characters - would of been good to perhaps have portraits for the crowd members as well I think. Overall an interesting spin on the theme.
The Bullet of Sisyphus by RedPain 2020-10-05T09:16:06Z ♥ 1
haha this was fun and I like the nod to the myth of Sisyphus in the title - gameplay was intuitive took me a little while to figure out the concept but it was pretty easy to figure out after a few mins what was going on. I overall think it fits the theme very well, graphics are functional , perhaps would of been better with more background and fx / sound but overall a fun little game.
