Harvest Saturn by Taldius 2023-10-03T10:01:08Z

I really liked the pressure mechanic, that was very cool, excellent theming. I love the sound design and the pixel art. Maybe i am just dumb but i had some real trouble catching the blue jellyfish, there was one where we just seemed to be in "sync" so that we never landed on the same square. I could try to catch it by quickly clicking on it before it had a chance to move away but i doubt that was intended. But overall this is one of my favourite games this jam.

The Island Warlords by firellon 2023-10-03T10:16:08Z

Very good looking game. I liked the animations and fights. The closing fightspace didn't matter as much, fights very usually over before the area could shrink too significantly. The AP system of the overworld seemed a bit undercooked, probably some features could not be implemented in time. But the combat was fun, a really good rhythm of blocking and attacking.

I got stuck on the geometry a few times and one time i fell through the floor. Interesting idea of needing to move between colors, adds an extra layer of planning. With more polish i think this could be a really fun game.

I really liked this game. Perfect theming, fulfilling all the conditions was a fun puzzle. Until the end where i needed to both have and not have a plant :sweat_smile:. I assume that was intended if so then it was very funny. I got the game really fast, great tutorialization. overall 5 stars. :grin:

Dante's Reinterpretation by Locke8 2023-10-03T11:18:15Z

I really like the bullet hell aspect of this game. I feel like this would have been a lot better if you more flashy vfx and crunchy sfx. These sorts of shooter games want to feel really satisfying. I think just adding a bunch of simple particle systems would have enhanced the experience.

Island Hustle by Danyclockworker 2023-10-03T11:52:53Z

Very cute designs. Also game was quite confusing, could have really used at leas some text guides or tutorials. The mechanic of loosely controlling villagers has a lot of potential, i hope you keep iterating on this.

Orbit by Ekke 2023-10-03T10:19:32Z

@c-5po Thank you for playing. The game only has 3 levels so we intended the 3rd level to be the most challenging to give the player a chance to really test their skills if they wanted to play longer. On average it took our friends about 10-15 minutes to complete level 3.

Orbit by Ekke 2023-10-04T15:39:42Z

@willoxs Very fair. In retrospect level 3 should have been a bit easier. You didn't miss out on anything though. The popups were a very late addition so i am glad to see how many people like him. I do agree however that shooting the rockets could be a lot more natural. Thanks for the feedback.

Orbit by Ekke 2023-10-04T15:44:29Z

@jens-g That is a very good idea, i'll remember that. We had something similar floating as an idea but never implemented it due to time. This project was actually made for a concurrent Jam run by our university where we only had 40 hours. We made slight tweaks before posting to Ludum Dare (the popups and bugfixes) but thats it.

Conways Crowded Farm by George-sh 2023-10-03T10:29:12Z

Haven't heard about Conway's Game of Life so was really confused in the beginning what to do. After a few retries i kind of got the hang of it but could never turn a profit :cry: . It looks charming but yeah some tutorials or game goal descriptions would have gone a long way. But with some further development this could be really great. Seems like the perfect browser game to play at work while bored. :smile:
