Revenge is Inevitable by minibobbo 2022-04-06T17:28:26Z

Really cool and interesting gameplay mechanics! The controls of the player are really intuitive and they are well introduced using the hints on the walls, it made it easy to understand what to do. It also seems quite a lot of content, I couldn't finish the entire game but each level had its own challenges and they got harder over time. Just a few things to note: Sometimes I couldn't see where to jump and it was really hard to estimate how far the player would jump. It would be nice to be able to zoom out or have a trajectory showing how fast the player is going to go (maybe just the first few meters so it's not getting too easy). But still, great game!

Kiwis Can't Fly by DDRKirbyISQ 2022-04-08T17:07:28Z

Wow, that was an experience! I absolutely love the music and the idea to map different instruments on the items to make the player kind of compose the music. Also the graphics and animations are fantastic. Nothing to improve, great job!

gArbaGE cRuSHeR by hgcummings 2022-04-09T22:15:07Z

Nice game, I really like the idea! The fact that it works singleplayer as well as coop makes it even better. Great job!

Aloft by ColeSlaughter 2022-04-10T22:03:08Z

Wow, great job! Absolutely love the artstyle and use of colors. The gameplay is very unique, haven't seen something like that before. It's really challenging to control the balloon while trying to think which holes to hold. Really well done!

Halberd by Ayced 2022-04-13T10:07:01Z

Nice game! I really like the different abilities you have. The fighting mechanics felt a bit simple but the game managed to keep me playing until the end so I still enjoyed it a lot! The puzzle was really cool and I also didn't expect a boss fight and the invasion in the end, seems like quite a lot of work :O Also, I really liked how you gave hints during gameplay, like which keys to press or that I have to solve the puzzle to continue. I didn't need to read the description to be able to play it until the end. However, I didn't know the I could use two different attacks and a slowmo effect, which is pretty cool, but I didn't use it (maybe I should have read the controls first :P). I think you could improve the level design a bit, I was missing some details (but I understand, considering the short amount of time and the trees still were a really nice touch). Also, you could add a few more sound effects and warp/pitch down the sound during the slowmo effect. Still, good job and great respect for making that alone!

Diamond in the Rough by ProdigalSon 2022-04-09T17:50:57Z

Wow, this game is amazing! Absolutely love the artstyle and gameplay. Everything feels so polished. Please keep on making great games, best of luck!

Terminal Hydrophilia by 6smith 2022-04-07T17:47:44Z

Really cool game, I had a lot of fun while playing it! It feels so polished, love the design and the music. It's also well balanced with bigger enemies coming in over time. It would be nice to get some powerups for more shooting variety and sometimes it's a little bit hard to see the direction where I'm shooting. Also I didn't fully understand the meaning of the fire bar at the bottom of the screen. But that's just a few minor things, really love this game great job!

Infectious - Delay the inevitable by ZoomieRoomie 2022-04-08T16:43:26Z

Wow, cool idea! And really fun to play! I love it's simplistic design and the color choices, also the game mechanics are easy to master but it's still challenging. In the end I lasted 204 seconds. Great job!

The Flower of Marasca by F1Krazy 2022-04-08T17:27:35Z

Cool game! I really like the style! Also having different powerups is really nice. Maybe you could add a few more visual cues or ingame hints for the player to better understand what to do. Also, for me, using a german keyboard where the keys z and y are flipped, it was kind of hard to control the player but I guess that's my problem. :D Good job!

OBRUTA by Dmitry Kaidash 2022-04-05T17:57:01Z

Wow, the graphics and effects are so beautiful! Also I love the dark mood of the game. Although I wasn't sure where to go, I still had fun to explore the world. To give just one minor suggestion for improvement, maybe the player could be a bit more reactive for more precise control. But all in all great game!

The Oscar Slapdown by n00b 2022-04-07T01:03:34Z

Really funny idea and fits the theme very well! Will seems to be quite unintelligent, he just keeps walking the same path. It could be a bit more challenging, I can just stand at the right edge and watch Will trying to catch some flies. Additionally, it would be nice to have some kind of rewarding, like a score. But still good job and best wishes for the future!

The Great Flood by cassowary 2022-04-11T11:30:30Z

Great game, really unique puzzle mechanics! The numbers on the ground really help to estimate the height. Also, I love the possibility to undo the last movement, well done!

overRUN by Kaleido 2022-04-18T21:28:23Z

Really nice game, I like the gameplay! It works really well and looks very polished. As already suggested, I also missed the possibility to select and move multiple units at once. Also, the exits of the buildings were a bit confusing, because I didn't expect the blue units to step out of the building at the bottom. But still, great game, I had a lot of fun!

Domotichaos by ZOMBIEBUST3R 2022-04-06T16:41:51Z

Wow really cool game, good job guys! The graphics are absolutely beautiful and with the animations it feels so smooth and polished! Also the music and sound design is amazing! I really like how you used visual- and audio-cues to guide the player. In the beginning I didn't quite understand what was going on though, because I jumped right into the game without reading the description but overall very well done!

T Knight againts the Hydra by Becher 2022-04-10T11:05:57Z

Wow this is really well done, I love the unique artstyle and the gameplay. I had a lot of fun playing and I will surely come back another time to play again. Also I really liked the beginning of the game, a clever way to introduce the player into the basic mechanics. As the others have already said, it would be cool to have some nice sound effects or music, I think that would also make a lot. Personally, I would also like to be able to jump and bounce on top of heads, because I intuitively tried that a few times, but got damaged. All in all, great game I really enjoyed it!

Snooze by DrSomma 2022-04-08T16:58:07Z

Fun to play! The controls are simple but good. I really like the parts with the breaking platforms. It would be nice to show the player waking up in the end to emphasize the "inevitable". But still good job!

The Endless Night by Arivenzys 2022-04-07T22:28:23Z

Wow, one of the best games I have seen during this game jam. The idea is so cool, it fits the theme perfectly! I absolutely love the artstyle, animations and the sound design. It's fun to play and the game is very well balanced - everything what a great game needs.

Only Hugh Can Prevent Forest Fires by bixarrio 2022-04-09T16:44:01Z

Nice game, I really like the idea and the atmosphere! Also the character design is so cute and it looks really nice. The music is epic, it fits the game very well. The sounds are also good, but I felt like some are a bit too loud. Another thing that I think could be improved is adding more visual cues for the player to know what to do. In the beginning, I was just searching for something but I didn't find anything. Only after watching the video two times, I understood that I had to move to the back end of the quad to pull the chain. One other minor thing, the interaction with the objects is sometimes a bit difficult: I had a problem when I tried to get some fuel, the bucket was standing next to it so I always grabbed the bucket instead of filling the fuel can. It would be nice to be able to put objects down and out of your way (hope I didn't miss anything that allows you to do that). Other than that, really a great game!

AlchemDare by WatermelonAndMe 2022-04-06T16:52:32Z

The description is interesting I would really like to play, but the itch.io page says no game was uploaded.

The Inevitable Blast! by Martin183 2022-04-06T16:24:25Z

Simple and fun to play! I like how you create perspective by changing the size of the cart. Also the particle effect of the incoming fireballs are really nice! I got up to 287 seconds.

Baggy & Maggy by Revetoon 2022-04-10T20:58:26Z

This is so cute! I love the artstyle and the gameplay, with the teabag using its string as a hook, great idea!

Hyper Kremlin Bros. II Tournament Edition by Samps 2022-04-05T10:54:59Z

Very unique puzzle mechanics and great idea! The theme fits perfectly!

Column by Notinatal 2022-04-16T14:21:28Z

Nice game, I like the idea that you have to figure out the puzzle mechanics by yourself. They were well introduced through the first levels to get a basic understanding of how the machanics work. Personally for me, some were not obvious enough and I really struggled for some of them. For example, I didn't know where I can step on or I didn't quite understand how the checkboxes in the unity chapter related to each other. Maybe that could be a bit clearer. However, I still managed to play through all levels and it was fun, so good job! :)

Great Escape by Martinek 2022-04-07T17:26:58Z

So cute! haha Really like the artstyle and the music! With a mouse it's getting really hard very quickly, wish I could play it with touch. But I still had a lot of fun!

RIITA by wobs 2022-04-09T22:38:46Z

Wow, this certainly is one of my favorite games! The artstyle, gameplay, music and attention to detail really makes me wonder how you did that in that short time :O Amazing!

Bomber Surviver by Proz 2022-04-21T13:20:44Z

Really nice game, I had a lot of fun! I love all the different kinds of bombs you can collect and the visuals are really nice, especially the explosion and fire effects. I managed to get almost 5 minutes, but the game crashed/freezed at some point, which was a bit unfortunate. But still very nice!

Ancient Shooter by attentionadmin 2022-04-05T10:46:35Z

The silence starting from a few minutes made me really nervous that something unexpected would show up and scare me :D Congrats on your first jam! I like the idea, some improvements would be nice, like some character animation and bigger UI. Also, I was not really sure what to look for and I could find anything. And the timer went negative after I ran out of time. Still good job!

Stop The Watch by Calzone407 2022-04-09T17:31:55Z

Really cool concept and execution of the theme! The beginning of the game is a bit abrupt, maybe you can give the player some time to get ready. And another suggestion, it would be funny if the robot would try to trick you with random movements. :D

Stay Afloat by Fredrik Rosell 2022-04-08T23:57:08Z

Really cool idea! I like the design, it looks very clean and the animation is so cute. Maybe you could at a bigger variety of elements to jump on but still, good job and congrats on your first game jam!

Help your Friend to escape the inevitable Ghost in a spooky Forest! by sorenGu 2022-04-09T17:11:10Z

Great game, love the atmosphere and the sound design! Also the level design is so pretty! For a higher tension, maybe you could move the friend a bit further forward to be able to see the ghost approaching over a longer distance. Another thing that could be improved is the controls of the player: While moving I wasn't moving with the ground, it felt like walking on a treadmill. So, when I was moving sideways, I was actually moving diagonally which makes it hard to aim for the pentagrams. But still, great job and congrats on completing your first game jam!

Jumpalot by game-jam-devs 2022-04-06T10:59:19Z

Wow, great idea very well executed! I love the humor of the game, especially when I hit the ground. I think I was never more amused by dying in a game. Also I really like the music, so catchy and fun to listen to! The leadboard is the last cherry on top of the cake, all in all this game is amazing!

Hole by OlgaVek 2022-04-05T10:29:11Z

I would really like to play the webgl build, the nice graphics make me want to see more but it seems to miss.

Mr. Twigs by LeoLFerraz 2022-04-05T19:07:33Z

Wow I love the idea it fits the theme perfectly! The story is so cute, well done!

Orange Mécanique by Pommthur 2022-04-05T11:06:26Z

Wow, I absolutely love the artstyle. It's super beautiful, how did you make that in time? :O Also I had a lot of fun for quite simple gameplay. Just one minor thing to note: The main menu didn't scale properly on my screen (4K), but that's not a big deal. All in all, fantastic job!
