Defend 'till the end by kjscott 2022-04-21T12:27:32Z ♥ 1

I like it. It reminds me of the old arcade classic Gyruss, just inverted. The graphics are nice, and the sounds very fitting. Great job. :)

Wicked Wilds by peringo 2022-04-07T19:35:07Z ♥ 3

Great game, and challenging :o It took me a little while to figure out the crafting system, but that's ok, nothing wrong with a little eksploration and eksperimentation, it comes with the genre. Sound and feedback works well. The music is great. And the combat system has a good feel and precision.

Legacy Survivors by quill18 2022-04-04T09:40:47Z ♥ 2

Very addicting. Getting those upgrades and mowing down enemies is very satisfying, so much that I often find myself forgetting to go for the chests. I thhink what especially stands out is how well rounded this game is in all areas. There are no particular things that feel unfinished or lacking attention. After a while I do miss some urgency. Maybe it would help if enemies spawned in larger numbers after a while, making those upgrades more important. But that could also be an inherent flaw of the theme this year.

Meeple Machine Factory by Micito 2020-05-12T16:18:38Z ♥ 0

I like it. The graphics look nice and are very clear and intuitive. It took some experimentation to figure out how things work, but in a fun way, and experimenting is part of the fun of this kind of game so thats a good thing. Little details like the lights, the animations and the gauges provide suitable hints on how things work. The player is rewarded for paying attention to detail. Of course it would benefit from lots of machines, lots of levels and many features, but that would be hard to do within the time frame. I think you managed to create a good starting point with a clear vision. You should really keep working on it, it has a lot of potential. I had a good time playing it.

Brilliant. It's fun to play and it made me laugh.

Necromancer by krakadushka 2020-04-22T16:28:10Z ♥ 2

The visuals and the mood is excellent. It's an interesting idea, and I enjoyed reading the backstories and figuring out what effect they would have.

The Adventures of Eggbert by BattleCat 2020-04-20T07:15:43Z ♥ 1

This is so cute, I went 'aaaw' at the Game Over screen. You really manage to get that 80s arcade game feeling, both with graphics, sound and music. The music is great btw and impressive for such a short time. The game is also very good fun and very complete. One thing I found a little unintuitive at first, was what to do with the eggs. I expected I had to deliver them somewhere, and tried the doors in the trees. The use of a timer going down, usually suggests a time limit until something bad happens. In this case maybe having a bar growing instead would make more sense. Of course I figured it out by rereading the instructions. It's a minor thing just something to keep in mind. Overall very impressive I think.

ChopChop by jkniest 2019-10-18T14:44:04Z ♥ 1

A very complete game, great job. One thing I missed is a more powerful swing, it can really makes a difference for how the game and the combat feels.

While you're here by Dinorex 2019-10-10T20:14:01Z ♥ 3

That was a very touching experience, and surprising too I didn't expect such a serious theme at first. Really good pacing of the storytelling. I like that you kept the mechanics simple.

Nothing Box by guckstift 2019-10-10T19:39:03Z ♥ 1

What a gem of a game. This game feels really well thought out, and fits together well. It's a little annoying with the b&w mode in the beginning, but thats OK and probably intended, because it feels so much better when the first gem is found. This has the elements of a good puzzle game. At first I wondered how things worked, then I got the aha feeling when I figured it out. The speed mode is a nice quality of life feature on a map of this size.

A bard's Journey by Kanonix 2019-10-08T21:46:44Z ♥ 1

What a catchy tune. :) The sound effects are also really nice. It took me a while to figure out what to do, but when I did I thought it was fun. Great graphics too. I think I'll keep it on my phone for a while. At first I thought it was an odd choice to release as an apk, but it is a very suitable mobile game.

Meaningless Blob Slaughter by evgenimp 2019-10-08T21:18:27Z ♥ 1

I like the lighting and the feel of the weapon. It is satisfying to fire. I do miss some kind of objective or scoring, anything to gamify it.

In The Beginning by Blueman 2019-10-08T19:48:59Z ♥ 1

I really like the feel and the graphics. And it is fun to play. I do miss a little more decision making, but its hard to find time to do game balancing like that. Great Job. :)

The Tree of Bounty by gelisam 2019-05-20T08:13:33Z ♥ 1

This is really very, very cool. Great job. It's enjoyable simply to click things and see what happens, but it's also a fun challenge. The tutorial works well, but it could be handy to be able to bring up some sort of chart of the different types of outcomes, it's a lot of rules to take in. But wow overall this is really impressive.

My Life is Not Currency by rjhelms 2019-05-18T09:27:12Z ♥ 1

This was fun. I actually appreciate the easy games, when I need to play through a lot of games. I also like your rebellious take on the theme. There's some issues with AI, they tend to gather together too much, and it feels like they are not damaging enough, this could be due to the invulnerability period more than the actual damage. Still, thats nitpicking its a fun game and quite polished, both the graphics and the tune are enjoyable. Splendid work!

Monolith by jsec 2019-05-17T18:09:50Z ♥ 1

Nice to see the Thrust / Asteroids genre again. Even if it's lacking in gameplay elements, it's still fun to fly around. Your particles from the exhaust and projectiles feels good, and you've got a good framework going. With some collision detection and a bit more variety you could have a very fun game. I could see this work well with random rooms.

Soul Builder by Rose 2019-04-30T21:25:59Z ♥ 1

This is a nice little game. I love it. The clean simple graphics feels good, and it's a wise choice as well. And I agree with the others, it's the kind of game that you have to play through to the end. Well done.

My Little Planet by Maxime Hanot 2019-04-30T21:10:00Z ♥ 2

It feels very polished, graphics, ambient sound effects (I love the subtle mechanical sounds), music, particles they all add well together. It's a novel idea with the tiny planet, I think it works very well. Of course gameplay is limited with just one enemy type, but hey what can you expect with the limited time. I'm impressed that the two of you managed to do all this.

Coin Defender by Nikos 2019-04-29T23:31:25Z ♥ 0

The good thing about games is that we can play around with things we don't have in real life. Like spaceships, muscle cars and money.

I had a lot of fun and frustration playing this game a gazillion times. A very nice and novel idea. Sometimes the simple concepts work best.

Space Escape by Somogy 2019-04-29T23:18:12Z ♥ 1

I like it, very traditional side scroller. Both sound and graphics makes a nice coherent style. I get kind of a space horror vibe, a bit like Event Horizon or something like that. I enjoyed it, but it's haaaaard - or maybe I'm just bad at shooters. :D The energy system is a nice idea, it adds an extra element of decisionmaking for the player, how much of a risk you want to take to get the pickups.

Fair n Square by DaniDev 2019-04-29T13:16:36Z ♥ 0

This is really good fun. The simple graphics fit well into the style and the music and sound effects also add to a complete experience. I like the idea of the central board / seesaw. It makes for some interesting situations. If you want to expand on it, I think a 2 player mode could work well as well. Awesome job!

Idle Skelly by Morg 2019-04-29T12:05:55Z ♥ 0

I'm not a big fan of idle games myself, but "Idle Skelly" is very well made. The pacing is excellent, which I guess is the secret to making a good idle games. Expectations are low in the beginning, and I got pleasantly surprised as the game went along, making me want to see what happens next. Graphics and UI are very good as well, there's some feedback in the game that feels good. It's an impressive result for the short time. It would be nice to see progress when travelling, and maybe also have an option to abort a trip, when it's obvious that the character is too weak. I'm very impressed overall.

Life Business by jk5000 2019-04-29T09:17:44Z ♥ 1

This is really fun, and the interface feels good. I like how well it gives feedback on selections. The graphics and sound are well designed and fits the feel of the game. I get this nice chill feeling typical of a good management game.
