Vupu by Team Trout 2018-08-14T23:31:19Z ♥ 1

I'm a sucker for gorgeous games and this Vupu definitely fits the bill! I agree that it's extremely hard, but someone better at these kinds of games than I am would probably have an easier time. The controls felt really natural and were easy to learn. Other than the difficulty, I really don't have any critiques for this game. The graphics are amazing, the music & SFX are both perfect, it fits the theme, and the game itself is rather fun. Awesome job!

Cute! Nice graphics - obviously! I love the color palette that you chose. Admittedly I got lost in the maze a few times before I saw the convenient little map you put in there... Nice touch. I liked the other little touches you included like the change in music. It's these little things that some people put into their games that really make them stand out, in my opinion.

I honestly don't have anything major to critique. Fits the theme, great graphics and music, easy controls, solid build... Awesome entry!!

I'm not the BEST at these kinds of games, but I had fun playing it! The music is banging. The fact that you kept my high score is probably my favorite thing about the game - I actually kept playing longer than I anticipated because I was always *so close* to beating my high score :) I eventually called it quits after I scored 151 pts (like I said, not the best at these kinds of games) but it was fun competing with myself.

My only critique would be that once the ship flips over it's nearly impossible to correct. I found myself often waiting for my fuel to run out because I had no other option. Luckily it goes down rather quickly so I really wasn't waiting more than 2-3 seconds, but I'm sure if you had more time it'd be a thing you could fix.

Overall really cool game and great entry to LD42!

Nice game! I would definitely suggest posting a screenshot and some instructions as I had a bit of a rough start trying to figure out what I was supposed to do! But I ended up defeating the genie and it was quite fun to do so! The graphics were definitely a highlight. Great job and good use of the theme! :)

Would love to play your game - @mention me when you get your link up! :)

A Tale of Fish by dalton5000 2018-08-14T18:17:56Z ♥ 2

Aww, I loved this! In a sea of fast-paced games (mine included!), it was nice to relax and play this one. I chuckled a few times at the dialogue. I hope the crab becomes a well-renown underwater pastry chef! ;)

But seriously, guys. Amazing job. Super seamless, polished, fun, cute, and easy to learn and play! Great game!

HexaGlitcher by JOrbits 2018-08-14T18:05:47Z ♥ 1

Love the graphics you chose for this one. The warping around the edges definitely makes it harder to see while playing, but I think that's the point? I tend to not be someone to read game rules before jumping in, and I'm glad to say I really didn't need to for this game! (Huge bonus points.) It was a great use of the theme, as well... Really don't have any major critiques. Very replayable. Really solid game all around! Great work. :)

Wash It by Particles GameStudio 2018-08-14T05:58:59Z ♥ 0

I think it goes without saying that the graphics are spectacular! The controls are easy to learn and memorize and the physics is impressive. SFX and music are great, as well. I think my only critique (and it's a small one!) is that the text on the menus (credits & controls) is a bit hard to read. Otherwise, it looks and plays like a very polished game. You should all be super proud of the game you created!

Crystal Guardian by Goncalo Marques 2018-08-14T05:45:09Z ♥ 1

First off, I got a chuckle out of the credits page. Very cute portraits!

Overall, I think the game was really good! I'm really impressed with how fleshed out this game feels. I believe your base game is solid enough that if you guys wanted to, you could build out this game into something really cool and detailed. Awesome job!

A tiny corner by Synfoniz 2018-08-14T05:35:42Z ♥ 0

Stressful - but in a good way! Simple enough to learn straight away, but difficult enough to stay interesting and fun. I really liked it! The graphics, music, and SFX were all great. Awesome game :)

Claustrophobia by deformhead 2018-08-14T05:24:26Z ♥ 1

Great game! The graphics were really nice. I really liked it, thus it almost felt too short and left me hoping for more. I agree that it's more of a memory game, but that's totally fine by me! Awesome job :)

Noah's Help! by Ian Kettlewell 2018-08-14T04:59:08Z ♥ 0

This has everything I love in a game. I think it goes without saying that the graphics are SO CUTE. The puzzles were challenging without feeling too frustrating. The gameplay was seamless as well. Really, really nice game! Probably in my top 3 that I've reviewed so far. :)

Hot Tub Stu by Dan Colman 2018-08-14T04:36:51Z ♥ 1

Hahahaha, this one is seriously great! I don't know what kind of experience I expected out of this game, but THAT wasn't it! Hilarious. Throwing the syringes was just the right amount of challenging and the dialogue was great. Awesome game!

Colony by thechubbypanda 2018-08-14T04:28:34Z ♥ 1

I'm so glad I decided to try out this game. Really cute - love the idea and the graphics. I'm not excellent at platformers so, despite my best efforts, I wasn't able to get very far. Despite that, it was still really fun to play and I had a good time. Excellent job!

SUPER CONVERGER by EnchaeC 2018-08-14T03:59:13Z ♥ 1

Wow - hard but great! I appreciated the very short first level. I was a great example of "Show not tell" when it comes to learning how to play a game. Great aesthetic, music, concept - just really great!

Polar Panic! At the Disco by PeachTreeOath 2018-08-14T02:46:47Z ♥ 3

5/5 for humor! The whole thing is absurd - in a brilliant, "this is so fun" sort of way. I especially loved the dancing penguins, the polar bear towers, and the disco music to tie it all together. The controls are a little bit hard to get used to, but once you do, it's pretty straightforward. Great job!

Tetris with Physics by gord10ahmet 2018-08-14T02:39:29Z ♥ 0

I am a simple lady in that TETRIS is honestly my favorite game. So, naturally, I couldn't resist trying out your game - and I wasn't disappointed! I actually really liked easy mode. It was relaxing being able to press space when I was ready for another piece, and the calm music paired with that nicely. I think my only critique is that I wasn't always sure why certain lines cleared and others didn't. But overall, really excellent game! Nice job!

Sim Tabloid by netguy204 2018-08-14T02:26:26Z ♥ 1

I LOVE this game! I surprised myself at how much thought I put into hiring/firing authors and selecting issues to meet the demands of the readers. I also appreciated being able to pause when I needed to think over my strategy. Really awesome job!

Urban Planning by reuno 2018-08-14T02:14:28Z ♥ 0

Cute game! Very nice graphics - everything looks pretty polished. The controls were intuitive and I didn't have a hard time figuring out what to do without reading the rules... Really awesome game!

Ouch! by Zachary Shah 2018-08-14T01:57:18Z ♥ 1

Really awesome game! Easy to learn and fun to play. Great use of the theme. I loved how simple yet effective the graphics you chose are. Overall, really nice job!
