Little Robot Run by KunoNoOni 2019-10-11T03:55:24Z

Cute, basic little platformer. Feels a bit floaty but not bad. Hadn't read any of your writeup there and dove in, got to blue door without using any items but unfortunately jumped into a bullet. Haha.

World Collector by Joe Williamson 2019-10-10T04:21:44Z

Well done. I wouldn't mind puzzling myself through a full version, maybe variable tile shapes, strange powerups, weird obstacles and enemies, sneaky puzzle tricks, and other cool stuff. You can really see some cool potential here. Good on ya.

Dungscoot by Mr_Field 2019-10-12T22:05:24Z

Pretty cool. Nice art and audio. I kept getting my ass beat by goblins and thought that's bad enough, then I went into a room with a skeleton, goblin, and bat. Corpse. :0

It's a solid entry. Nice job.

Sabotage by deepnight 2019-10-11T23:44:30Z

Very nicely done. A blast to play. Absolutely love dunking dudes into spikes and barrels. Good job.

Home Sweet Home by karreg 2019-10-07T21:47:44Z

Very nicely done. This is something you'd find as just a regular game on kongregate or something.

Nothing to Say by celia14 2019-10-11T07:20:05Z

Heh, that was cute. Clever design too and fits with the theme. Very nice entry.

Good work.

Calibal's Curse by neonlare 2019-10-12T00:00:28Z

Really quality game, something you'd pick off the shelf at the old rental store in the 90s. While a bit on the hard side at times it's not at all a chore to play. Something you'd definitely just have around to have a few runs now and again.

Very nicely done.

Ragin' Racers by bitdecay 2019-10-09T23:14:51Z

Heh, that's pretty cool. I used to play games like this back in the day. You don't see them around much anymore.

Euro Farm by Enver Arco 2019-10-07T21:10:55Z

Not bad. Nice art. Overall it reminds me of similar simple flash games from back in the day.

Nothing by JoelLikesPigs 2019-10-11T05:29:07Z

Very competently done, all around. As it is it's practically a demo for something you'd see for sale. Quality work.

Bob the Brawler by itsdanidre 2019-10-11T06:52:06Z

Got 115k score, eventually got overwhelmed. I like how heads get left behind, so instead of you punching the heads off guys it's kinda like you're punching the bodies out from under the heads. Truly a strong man.

A simple but effective entry. Nice work.

TRIGGORE by Lumpy 2019-10-09T23:36:14Z

Very solid. I like it.

No Kart by HALPCat 2019-10-11T23:25:52Z

lol holy shit. Pretty simple racer, wasn't sure what I was acquiring over my head when I finished laps, but oh boy, that ending made me laugh.

Well done.

Top Seed by Bodaciouslycrazy 2019-10-16T02:01:43Z

Heh, a strange combination but I like it. Seems pretty complex for the challenge so I appreciate the hard work. It may be quirky but you've got a decent Monkey Ball Damacy thing here.

:v:

A_semblance by D1gital Cuts 2019-10-12T00:30:00Z

Pretty cool. Only gripe is some jumps early on are a bit annoying, not so much the distance but more the game eating my input I guess?

Regardless this is very nicely done. Has a lot of charm to it. Been looking for it for a couple of days since I saw it on a stream but couldn't track it down again 'til now. And I'm glad I did.

Props, dude.

MU: The empty Fist by JesusAcHe 2019-10-16T01:51:41Z

Pretty cool. I'd be interested in seeing more gimmicks and powers using physics or other stuff.

Solid work here.

Space Office by Celdur 2019-10-07T21:56:25Z

@nachtwitch Yup, we had an entry previously though this is my first official participation.

@kekkodude Haha, yeah. It's a total nightmare. I just did the art and audio so when @celdur had me playtest I got fired pretty consistently. :0

What have you got there? by kirroyal 2019-10-09T07:17:51Z

Neat concept and big points for mood. Could be onto something few games even come close to capturing. Nice job.

Soundscapes by Kaish 2019-10-10T03:07:16Z

Very neat idea. Don't think I've seen this done before. Full points for innovation certainly.

Hat in Slime by Transkuja 2019-10-07T20:58:38Z

Nice look, good art. Kinda bizarre controls though.

HONK by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2019-10-10T17:27:11Z

Pretty neato. I often play stuff like this in short bursts during breaks. Nice to see something like this.

Ships, Sharks and Shanties by Grangerer 2019-10-10T17:32:24Z

Pretty difficult but cool game. Interesting concept too.

Stolen Goods by DrRozza 2019-10-11T04:44:30Z

Heh, pretty strange to steal a cat. Probably a neighbor stealing multiple things as a cover for the cat theft. Need a follow-up telling the cat's cartoonishly-long escape story.

Pretty alright stuff here. The click-to-move felt a little weird and collision had some issues, ex. walking into the dining room from the kitchen but my head is bumping into the bottom of the wall. Otherwise not much trouble gettin in there and swiping some loot.

Sorry to hear you didn't make compo. Hope it wasn't too much of a disappointment. Maybe it'll work out on the next one.

Cheers. :v:

Survival Shore by radgegames 2019-10-07T21:23:37Z

Nice work, really simple but I appreciate the effort. Had some issues with the inventory (lots of slots but I didn't appear to be picking anything else up?). Had a wander anyway. Basic graphics, nice chill music track while you wipe out trees with your knife. :y

The Tale of Earl by dans17 2019-10-11T03:46:27Z

This is a neat one. One complaint is when hopping out of a body you get spotted and instakilled more often than not. Might have been doing something wrong though. But pretty fun. Yet another not often explored concept in games.

Good job and props to the team.

View My Dungeon by GamErPlayer 2019-10-11T04:17:49Z

It took a bit to get the gist but I got it eventually. Certainly a large difficulty spike at the beginning while you get your bearings.

As a bit of critique try to include more information like objectives or rules for your game. That'll help the player better contextualize what they're doing and what needs to be done as they play.

Good on you for participating though. Keep experimenting and creating stuff. :v:

SpaceGas by Sprotex 2019-10-10T17:44:04Z

Heh, what a bizarre idea. Nice work.

Photoss by Dominas 2019-10-16T01:37:58Z

Interesting idea. It'd be nice to see how you'd take it further.

Nice work.

FROGBERT: Road to Culinary Stardom by trmrddr 2019-10-07T21:33:39Z

Pretty cool visuals, nice audio, basic but solid gameplay. Only gripe is it's weird controlling something isometric with WASD, but whatev. Nice job.

Rush, Fumble, and Chomp (play in browser!) by David Shire 2019-10-11T04:28:44Z

This homeowner certainly has a lot of loose guinea pigs running around. When I was a kid ours got loose and it was horrifying because we wanted it to be safe and not somehow get out into the yard. :0

Anyway, not bad stomping around on a table nabbing flies. The traffic is pretty busy though. Basic little game but it's good that you were able to bring something together. Keep iterating and making new stuff. :v:

Probably I forgot something by evlko 2019-10-12T00:17:32Z

Pretty silly but I dig it. Nice art!

PXL IT by Ulisses 2019-10-11T04:06:25Z

Pretty cool. Kind of like a weird blend of like.. reverse Pac-Man and Picross or something. :0 Only complaint is maybe it was sad to have to completely start over when you're near the edge and one of those enemy blocks appears almost on top of you.

That said I like what was done here, a cool little minigame of sorts. I could realistically see something like this featured in an arcade in a larger-scale game.

Nice job.

Nocero by Empty Set 2019-10-11T05:00:40Z

Humble beginnings maybe?

Nice job. Could be a real charmer if fleshed out more.

Rebuild of Edge by Twelvoo 2019-10-07T22:11:57Z

Pretty cool. I like what you've done here. I guess my biggest issue is that interface. It's solid and it works but it's cumbersome. Some hotkeys might have made that a bit smoother. That said I played for awhile and had an okay time. Decent puzzles.

A Field of Flowers by KeithSwanger 2019-10-09T08:31:02Z

Well done. You don't see simple sorta.. toy-type games like this often. I dig it.

Cell Defense by WanSou 2019-10-10T17:16:53Z

Not bad. Used to play games like these on various sites. Glad your project came together in the end. It certainly seems challenging getting it all wrapped up by the deadline.
