a frigin perfect game! jeez it's so fun and so hilarious, like nothing i expected to happen, happened in this game, the ending was great and the mechanics are awesome (i would definitely recommend maxing sound to anyone who plays because the music is amazing), this game is so damn good jeez why is it so damn good. i almost don't believe this was made by one guy dnag.
final rating "yalls are too damn good at this jeez"/10, perfect game.
aw dude i wanna review and play this but i don't have a deck with me and i don't have the time because of school projects but i really wanted to say i think it's really damn cool you made an irl card game for a game jam. i love board and card games and as much as i'd love to try this one i fear i might not get a chance to playtest and review it on time. read the rules though super cool idea.
it's like pokemon but autochess, surprisingly fun if you're into those kinds of games especailly. i feel like the bench should be bigger though but its super good. i had some crashing issues though and idk why.
this game was super cute and the art is so dang great, i'm jealous and impressed. best dating sim I've played, i'd love to see you guys expand on this it's so dang good.
I rate this "wholesome feels UwU"/10
dude why is this game so well polished it feels like yalls are cheating, I joke but this game is really good jeez. the art style is brilliant, the music is great the effects are awesome, the gameplay is so fun, there are even voice instructions (although having subtitles or text as well would be nice) and it's all just so cool! super spoopy and right for the season and perfectly on theme too. I wish that when the guy talked the background music turned down a bit though cause sometimes they fight for clarity but otherwise 10/10 game.
final rating "yalls are too good at this what the hell"/10
this is a very fun and strange little game, reminds me of the old school zeldas and metroids and such. super fun puzle game and the cutscenes are gold man. actually didn't they make like that one zelda game for the 3ds where you can become like a painting on the wall and solve puzles that way? ya this reminds me of that, a super fun and very weird in a good way puzle mechanic.
music is good, graphics are good, theme and story are great, the cutscenes are golden. 9/10 would play again -ign
a funn spooptober game, it's simple but functional. the graphics are nice and it is both on theme and seasonal, extra points for making it playable in the browser. it's just good wholesome spoopy fun. 4.8/5 I wish it had more it's super fun (but you know 3 days is not a long time)
we also made a kinda spoopy game too if you want to check out my team's stuff (just find it through my profile)
I liked that the puzzle had no instructions and let you figure it out by yourself but i feel like figuring out the first one where you unlock the door can be a bit obtuse, i suggest giving the player an indication of which levers to pull with like a scratch on the wall behind the levers or on the floor in front of the levers, like something to give a hint rather that just leave the player to guess randomly. that being said you guys nailed it after that by having a way to show that the player is progressing.
I thought the art was cute I just couldn't tell that the levers were levers at first because they were so big and the scale and perspective of things felt very weird, overall not bad just visually confusing which is not the best in a puzle game.
also last criticism, I understand the fun of it is giving no clues and information (and you guys did a great job on that, completing the puzzle is fun and makes you feel smart and it's simple enough to not be very frustrating after the first door) but please put the controls at least in the opening menu or in the description of the game or somewhere because it took me about a minute before I realized the space bar did something. just putting "W,A,S,D -> movement" and "spacebar to interact" in the description would help so much.
overall, aside from my criticisms, I thought it was fun with a very cool atmosphere and a great general mysterius tone. the art is cute but the levers that look like 4 times the size of the character kinda makes them look like light poles or bars but the puzle was really fun and simple with a lot of good feedback to the player. a fun quick few minutes on a puzzle =), would reccomend maybe you guys can build on this into a bigger mystery puzle game.
no problem i hope you guys enjoyed the jam and learned a lot ^-^! the thing is a lot of people make all kinds of controls for thier games in these jams and although WASD is 90% of the time standard movement there are some people who change that, so it's always a good idea to add something that tells you the basic controls and what buttons do. at least put it in the description of the game. you can use vague words but still a best practice is to add a basic controls list somewhere so people don't spend the first few minutes of your game trying to figure out how to move or press a button.
no we didn't have time to add it but i do think we should add one in the future if we pick this up again.
Wow that was a really cute game, super fitting spoops for the season. the art is great and the music is great, the gameplay is fun but the slurp sound effects are a bit loud for me... otherwise perfect. i don't ususally try to like link my team and such but we also made a very spooptober game that i think you guys might enjoy, you can just look through my profile i'm not gonna link it but ya.
it rate it OwO soops/10 very good game.
its really good and really relatable, take naps kids and eat healthy. also you forgot to add a feature that gives you more ratings if you rate other peoples games... oh wait you can just do that in real life, remember to rate others yall ^-^. jokes aside it's really polished and really well done (and super meta, why, why do yall do this to me it's too relatable), there is a weird bug that hides one card under another and i think a good fix for that is just to add one less card to the players hand but other than that it's perfect. music is great, graphics are awesome, mechanics are solid and it's playable in browser.
final rating #relatable/10
not a bad game, maybe a undo last turn buttom could be helpfull? it's a great fist game though and I hope you learned a lot, if you did it all by yourself that's really cool but maybe you could look into making a team next time to help ease the load. a big tip for very game jam is keep the idea simple, prototype fast and know when to quit (as in when to stop adding or when to realise a thing you're trying to do is taking too long and it's just wasting time so it would be better to do something different). solid 4/5 game for a fist jam.
bonus points for making it playable through the browser
not a bad game, the art style was super cool and the game was simple but it worked, nice to see you're taking a stand for the environment! i kinda wish the water didn't insta kill oyu when it touched you but jams are hard man. this is a really good first entry, i hope you had fun a and learned a lot =)!
i tried it and i feel like either the movement is a little too strange and difficult to control or you need to pump up the base gravity on the player object or the particles need to move a lot slower and need to be a lot bigger. it's an intresting concept and te visuals and theme are very good but the gameplay kinda suffers a little. you guys could try tweaking it and just add a link to the updated version, it's what a lot of people do because playtesting and QA is immpossible in 3 days. i liked it but i can't give the controls a good rating, visuals and atmosphere are great though.
not a bad first game, charmingly jank (that's a good thing sometimes) and very similar to the old flash games on newgrounds. it's simple but functional and the slime art is the best (so derpy), it put a smile on my face. here's hoping that you learned a lot and your next game will be even better (and hopefully just as derpy). small criticisms though, i'm not a sound guy either but sound effects help alot and maybe next time you can get others to help you with that (check discord communities). aslo it seems you wanted to allow the player to jump on the slime but then added the sword, the sword is cool and all but the problem is it takes like 4 hits to kill a slime with a sword and only one hit to kill a slime if you jump on it, it should definately be the other way around. otherwise a cool game.
how dare you make me do math and play a shmup at the same time!
on the other hand this game is 69/420% going to give you the biggest brain you can achieve or your money back guaranteed. spastically fun it offers a truely immersive experience into learning things the average human brain couldn't possibly begin to fathom, a true man of culture and learning and science. only the biggest brains can grasp it's subtle and advanced humor for this is one of the smartest, NAY THE SMARTEST GAME EVER! it's filled with drama and intrigue and life lessons, all while expanding your mind to levels not humanly possible before!
"grrrrr, duu, grrr!", some of the greatest voice-actting in all of history and such inspirational quotes too. this truely is a game you must play if you want to elevate your health and intelligence, it changed my life.
solid 5/7 -ign
we didn't know how to add each other to a team but I did the art
