Locked by Nocity 2019-10-11T05:49:05Z ♥ 1

I had a...blast. Nice job, great sounds, clever game.

Zen Man by Team Catwheel 2019-10-11T05:42:57Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept and nice atmosphere. By the later part of the game though it had the opposite effect of its theme...I was stressing about all the thoughts in my way.

Ignis Universia: Eternal Sister Saga by arzi 2019-10-11T05:38:16Z ♥ 3

A bunch of silly fun. I smiled quite a bit at all the absurdity. Great sound and art, and a fun, meta ending.

Draconomics by CyberStarLight 2019-10-11T05:23:16Z ♥ 2

Silly fun, and coincidentally the opposite of my original concept (which I didn't do) to keep running in as a tiny, greedy dwarf to steal loot from the dragon's hoard. Enjoyed the silly music speeding up as I got angrier.

バクラウBloodless by Danilo Freire 2019-10-11T05:08:59Z ♥ 5

Dripping with atmosphere, and an excellent take on the theme (and genre). Great work!

When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-11T05:04:10Z ♥ 2

Really interesting concept, and lovely presentation.

Amor Fati by starvingindie 2019-10-11T04:59:57Z ♥ 1

Simple, short, but creative, and feelgood. Nicely done. I wonder how you might expand upon the idea.

A Field of Flowers by KeithSwanger 2019-10-11T04:57:21Z ♥ 1

A truly serene experience. I found myself anticipating the flowers I would get next, hoping for a sunflower, in much the same way I got excited as a kid with those gumball machine egg toys. Great atmosphere.

World Collector by Joe Williamson 2019-10-11T04:40:52Z ♥ 1

Absolutely amazing. Evocative mood (visually and aurally), great concept, perfectly on theme.

Yogurt's Quest by Aurailus 2019-10-09T15:49:15Z ♥ 1

Nice concept with a dreamy mood. Jumping/moving can be a touch fidgety, but given the amount of time you had, you did a great job.

A Game about Nothing by earnso 2019-10-08T20:36:22Z ♥ 1

A little slow with the dialogue, but overall a fun spin on the theme, and you made the best of what appears to be even less time than the rest of us had. Nice work.

Mullet Man and the Apocalypse by clemonades 2019-10-08T05:40:00Z ♥ 1

I just stood in the corner like I was back in back playing "everybodys it." Not a lot of variety or challenge, but the vibe was fun, and the sprites were cool. Shooting from your hair felt right.

Soulless by Nithin 2019-10-08T05:27:10Z ♥ 1

Controls are a bit tough and collision stuff, as others have said, but it's a fun concept, and any game with rocket jumping gets bonus points from me.

Better than nothing by Fictions 2019-10-08T03:07:56Z ♥ 1

Great stuff. Lots of devs have made "build the game as you go" ideas for this comp, but I am amazed at how unique each one has been. The slime squish sound takes this up a notch for me.

You are Nothing by ectucker1 2019-10-08T02:53:18Z ♥ 4

This was a lot of fun, and you did a lot with a little. I tabbed away in the transitions from 6 -> 7 and upon returning I could not get the game to work again. Otherwise awesome.

MINUTES TO SHIP by Hydezeke 2019-10-08T02:39:30Z ♥ 1

Just. Amazing. I had a blast. Farts were involved. Also, the moon.

Ultra Quest by 100th_Coin 2019-10-08T01:18:39Z ♥ 1

Fun style and gameplay. Great sense of mischief. Didn't see the softlock fix version, so I got locked out at the frost queen, but I'll definitely give it another run through later.

Nothing to Say by celia14 2019-10-08T00:46:57Z ♥ 3

This was an unexpectedly pleasant little experience. Great aesthetic, fun take on the theme. My clicking finger got a little tired on the X number through, but overall I really enjoyed this.

Nullified by Coda Highland 2019-10-08T00:30:04Z ♥ 2

I had to cheat because I got the ranged attack item as my first item and got stuck in the area without being able to jump out, but nice animations and the booster sound is great. Great use of the theme!

Blue Juice Dealer by Ryan Wine 2019-10-07T23:55:29Z ♥ 0

This is a unique idea for this theme. It was fun guessing which things worked together, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to restart. If you go back to the main menu the game just continues on. Nice atmosphere and sounds, as well.

Tiny Asteroid by JD Parker 2019-10-07T23:36:31Z ♥ 0

This was a great, relaxing experience. I love chillhop and lofi and jazzhop and all that, so this was right up my alley. My one criticism would be that if you destroy those ore rocks at the start before you know what else to do with them, you can not finish the game, as far as I can tell. The build menu was moderately awkward, but given the allotted time for the jam, I don't fault the game for that. Nice work. Great atmosphere, visually and aurally.

There was something here by Adrien Dittrick 2019-10-07T20:55:43Z ♥ 1

A bit abstract at first, but it pulled me in over time, and before I knew it 15 minutes had gone by. Well done. Great use of the theme.

Blankspace by Dominium11 2019-10-07T20:34:50Z ♥ 1

This is a great entry for the theme. I played all the way through and enjoyed almost all of it. Taking away vision a couple times after getting it didn't seem to serve much purpose, but I loved gaining all the usual gameplay abilities as I went. Well done.

Red Vs Green by Flying Cat of the Pepes 2019-10-07T20:20:03Z ♥ 1

This is a lot of fun, and the silly sound effects make it even better. My only crit would be how often I don't even see what I am shooting at/being shot by. Still had a blast though, nice job.

Unlock by RetroBarbare 2019-10-07T16:44:35Z ♥ 2

This is a fun concept that makes great use of the theme. I had a couple issues: The constant typing sound (but I empathize with getting sound right in a short time), but the text was enjoyable and the overall idea was great. Oh, the ability to touch the lava on the sides even though it doesn't extend past the platforms it's on is a bit rough. The controls aren't yet precise enough so this made it pretty difficult (I didn't play much beyond its introduction so I don't know if it is part of the story).

Vengeful Spirit by Jajakeim 2019-10-07T16:02:18Z ♥ 0

I dig this. Simple, but effective. Like the pixel art version of ancient cave drawings.

Cloud Boy by JCMonkey 2019-10-07T14:46:16Z ♥ 1

Fun stuff. The cloud sound effect made me giggle. I will say not being able to double jump if you're pressed against a wall was a bit awkward, but otherwise nicely polished little game.

Grow quickly by congusbongus 2019-10-07T14:36:43Z ♥ 1

This was a fun one to play. Sucked me in for several levels. The controls could be a bit odd, causing the character to walk too far, but otherwise a great little gem with pleasant sound.

SHPLAT by Isvan 2019-10-07T07:03:26Z ♥ 2

This is a unique take on the theme, and the simple graphics and interesting concept work well together. The controls can be extremely frustrating though, either too much momentum or none at all, but otherwise this is every creative.

Egg Farm by kuviman 2019-10-07T05:44:08Z ♥ 1

Really fun concept. It takes a second, but the mystery kept me interested. Fun take on the theme too.

Egg Problem by Bry 2019-10-07T04:59:22Z ♥ 1

I love this. I had to stop playing so I could try other games, but a nice spin on the tower defense formula. Streamlined gameplay, but still plenty of depth. One of my favorites so far.

Medium-Sized Field Simulator 2019 by RoboDoig 2019-10-07T04:40:11Z ♥ 1

Yeah, seems you took the page down?

REWRITER by johjoh 2019-10-07T04:18:10Z ♥ 2

Fun little game. Felt fresh. I haven't played anything quite like it before. Getting the timing down against the blue guys was a bit awkward (maybe it's the red wine), but overall I enjoyed the few games I played.

Mr.Grind by iozsaygi 2019-10-07T04:07:24Z ♥ 1

I usually don't like clickers, and I probably don't like this one either, BUT it kept me engaged, and I giggled a bit. I think it's that bumpin beat. Add some explosions and this might be the Michael Bay of clicker games.

The Darkness by Iconocatstudio 2019-10-07T03:39:48Z ♥ 0

Great atmosphere. It pulled me in and kept my interest. The first flash of lightning sparked my interest, and with each bit of light collected, I was further drawn in.
