FLOWER by ShivArt 2020-05-06T00:36:58Z ♥ 1

As everyone else has said, the art, music, and atmosphere are absolutely fantastic and the best that I have seen in this jam so far. From a gameplay perspective, it was a little strange how the robot would continue to move for full seconds after I released the input. Despite that, it was still a very memorable experience. As someone else who also went with a Wall-E inspired game, its really interesting to see other people's spins on it.

Keep the Party Alive! by TouchMe 2020-04-22T23:24:54Z ♥ 3

Nice and well executed take on the idea! I did find the web version pretty much unplayable though, I had to download it to play properly.

Stoke It ! - V1.3 by WegPast 2020-04-22T23:11:12Z ♥ 2

Like some people have pointed out, the info boxes at the start are a bit of an information overload, it was hard to put all of the information in to practice without restarting several times. I also had troubly with the AZERTY designed controls, so I ended up using a controller in one hand and the mouse in the other. Once I got over those hurdles I had a great time.

Pump It ! by JulienLussiez 2020-04-22T23:04:16Z ♥ 2

Short and sweet, that was great. It was a really interesting idea for a puzzle game and executed quite well. It's the first game I've played so far that I wanted more of. Well done!

Please Stay on the Line by kleinzach 2020-04-22T22:59:08Z ♥ 1

Like everyone else, I have to complement how well the lighting effects were used to create the atmosphere of the game. I did find the font on the phone very annoying to read, which made me ignore it most of the time.

Zealotry by TevasLiutauras 2020-04-22T22:19:14Z ♥ 1

That was a lot of fun! I did find it a little annoying how there was no way to get rid of the targeting circle without clicking on something in it.

Dozy Dungeon by Lesslwo 2020-04-22T22:12:43Z ♥ 1

Fun game, and much harder than I expected it to be. I kept getting lost and couldn't figure out where I was missing monsters.

Tamagotchu by beats 2020-04-22T00:45:24Z ♥ 1

Really cute and creative, I love the hand drawn style. I did find myself trying to click on the big arrow by the exit sign towards the end and couldn't figure out why it wasn't working.

Can Adequately Generate Charge, C.A.G.E. for short! by Izokia 2020-04-22T00:36:46Z ♥ 1

Great idea that fits the theme really well! I did find the flappy mode kind of frustrating, it didn't seem like the movement was precise enough to get in some of the smaller gaps.

Keepin' Alive! by sofibab 2020-04-22T00:27:03Z ♥ 1

It's a great take on the theme, but I do wish that it had a little more to it. Even a WPM counter or a tally of how many times DISCO had been typed so far would go a long way.

Seven Nights in Siberia by Gus Goucher 2020-04-22T00:22:49Z ♥ 3

Great little game with really fantastic atmosphere! I was a little confused by the thing that has the E key prompt be the fire, the popup it opened just said "Press E to exit"

Love Verne by Greebs 2020-04-22T00:14:16Z ♥ 1

Fantastic visuals, that goes without saying, and a neat subversion of expectations with the plant and the human. I did find the gameplay a bit confusing as nothing seemed to happen after Verne's first breakdown.

Turtle Team by welby 2020-04-22T00:07:51Z ♥ 0

Like most of the other comments have said, I was intrigued to start but was a little disappointed when I realized there wasn't much going on. I couldn't tell what the shark was actually doing when it attacked me.

Flame Keeper by SnowToast 2020-04-22T00:00:54Z ♥ 1

Neat little game! It wasn't immediately obvious to me that I had to build the fire up to get past the first gate, I died a couple times trying to interact with it.

Etiolation by ankou 2020-04-21T23:53:11Z ♥ 3

Etiolation has been a real highlight of all the games I've played so far! I was really impressed by how much variety there was in the level designs, especially given the time constraints

Doomsday Feelings by biemorth 2020-04-21T23:46:30Z ♥ 0

Wow, this is a real step up and definitely the most impressive game I have played so far! I did find the rest period a little strange though, there didn't seem to be much value in using the time to restore health or energy when it always starts at 100% when you die.

What the Shell by Andreas Roschal 2020-04-21T02:45:12Z ♥ 2

Lot of fun to be had here, great take on a tower defence game! This was probably the game that I played for the longest of everything I've tried so far. Good job!

Leap Of Faith by ryan123rudder 2020-04-21T02:37:39Z ♥ 2

Lots of fun to be had, this could definitely make a successful mobile or flash game if fleshed out a bit.

SUSpicious Hospital by Susumu Asaga 2020-04-21T02:32:35Z ♥ 0

I'm a little confused to be perfectly honest. I couldn't figure out where to bring some of the patients and I wasn't able to treat them, but I still got a popup telling me I won at the end.

Your Plant by PerfectSquare 2020-04-21T02:21:51Z ♥ 1

This was a very simple but still compelling spin on the idea!

Bankruptcy Countdown by Martin183 2020-04-20T23:07:39Z ♥ 1

Cute little game! I did run into some difficulty when I couldn't see which direction the forklift was pointing behind some of the racks, and it was also difficult to tell where I was setting the packages down for the loading bays in the back.

BUBBLE BOY by NEKORUMA 2020-04-20T23:01:35Z ♥ 1

When the theme was first announced I was wondering if I'd see a Tamagotchi-inspired game! The visuals and sound are great, even if the gameplay is a bit simplistic.

Flower Protector by PromZona 2020-04-20T22:57:12Z ♥ 2

The art and music were really fantastic well done! The gameplay was also a lot more fun and challenging than I expected it to be based on the first part of the tutorial. One thing I did find weird was the option to scroll up to stop the rain from falling, I couldn't understand why I would do that instead of just dragging the cloud out of the way.

The Intern by FlorianB 2020-04-20T21:30:26Z ♥ 2

I played for a couple of minutes but wasn't able to find the coffee machine for the second objective. It seems fun, but my experience was hampered a bit since I was playing on a QWERTY keyboard. I was able to move around freely by using a controller in one hand and my mouse in the other, but it was far from an ideal play experience.

Defend the Loot! by ArtemFTW 2020-04-20T04:45:13Z ♥ 1

Like some other others have said, it's got a freat feel to it and it fun to play. At the beginning I did find myself unsure of my strategy and accidentally blocked myself in, so I was stuck waiting for the enemies to break through the walls. I also felt like the preparation phase took a little too long, I rarely had anything to do for the last ten to twenty seconds.

King's Table by PetTurtle 2020-04-20T04:34:35Z ♥ 1

Firstly the game looks great. While it played well, it was a little annoying how quickly I ran out of money and how slowly I seemed to make it back.

Aero-Ball by rsim 2020-04-20T04:25:48Z ♥ 1

Neat idea, but in practice it was really difficult to gauge the trajectory of the pinball. I also couldn't tell why I was finished levels.

Planet Parasites by Danilo Sadzinski 2020-04-20T04:12:06Z ♥ 0

Nice spin on a classic formula! I found spawning volcanoes in space a little weird, but it was quite fun, if a bit samey after a couple of waves.

Lone Cabin by Alex Chrome 2020-04-20T04:06:26Z ♥ 2

First off, the art style is fantastic. On the gameplay side, I felt that it could have been a bit more forgiving at the start. I had to die a couple times before I figured out the purposes of every location.

Cool Plants / Chill Beats by Witdarkstar 2020-04-20T03:57:31Z ♥ 1

Great little experience, very zen. It was fun to discover that I could interact with some of the items, like turning the light on and off and strumming the guitar.

WALL-E get the water! by SideKick 2020-04-20T03:52:17Z ♥ 1

The game has great music, but unfortunately I wasn't able to give the audio the rating it deserved because of the really high squeak that played every reset.

AetherPath by quichi 2020-04-20T03:43:17Z ♥ 2

I was able to get the game to run, but unfortunately I ran into a number of other issues. It was quite annoying that at lower resolutions the build menu covered up the resource count for Earth. I also couldn't seem to select my new ships after building them. It looks and sounds interesting, but it's difficult to recommend when I couldn't really sink my teeth into it because of the issues.

Power Surge by Marston 2020-04-20T03:36:13Z ♥ 1

Unforunately the web player kept glitching out for me so I wasn't able to play it properly.

Curie by DLC Scar 2020-04-20T03:31:12Z ♥ 0

It's hard to explain, but something about it just feels right. Movement and shooting are really smooth and a pleasure to play with. I did find it to be quite easy, and only died in the end because I wanted to see what happened if I let the radiation meter fill up completely.

Robo Riot by RNGames 2020-04-20T03:25:45Z ♥ 1

While a lot of fun, I did find chasing after all the enemies in the big arena to be quite annoying. The music and graphics were great too.

Coronary Flypass by squirmonkey 2020-04-20T03:19:39Z ♥ 2

That was a lot of fun, I found the drone controls to be a bit sluggish but I assume that was by design. Well done!

Lighthouse Keeper by dooskington 2020-04-20T03:09:31Z ♥ 1

I found what little content there was to be compelling, but I stopped after the first couple days were quite samey.

YOUR RAGING SPIRIT by madbookstudios 2020-04-20T02:51:09Z ♥ 1

That was a lot of fun! I did find it quite frustrating that the quick movement speed combined with the pretty small window for pushing back enemies meant that I was constantly running through them and missing my attacks.
