Kingdom By The Sea by Jesse Freeman 2015-12-18T19:13:00

Came to this through your email newsletter. Nice work!

I agree about dismissing dialogs more quickly - maybe click anywhere to dismiss. I'd also appreciate a hover state when picking tiles.

FRUITWOLF by Claw 2015-12-18T16:56:00

This is amazing. Awesome work!

Wild Growth by Leon Möhring 2015-12-17T16:46:00

Real nice!

GLYPHRUNNER by adriano 2015-12-17T16:20:00

Good work!

JUMPR by Supernaught 2015-12-17T15:45:00

A really polished and well realized jam game. Awesome work! Reminds me of Swing Copters.

The Winter by sydan 2015-12-16T22:59:00

Nice Work!

I think i'd like to move with arrow keys rather than towards mouse - i know it fulfills 2 button controls, but if you go on I think that'd be worth it.

Belly Smash by Drunkain 2015-12-16T22:52:00

Very nice - great graphics - good sounds - excellent design. Well done! I think it'd be worth developing more - making some nice AI to progress through in single player version.

Growees by NickZangus 2015-12-16T21:57:00

Real nice! Relaxing!

Hiccups a bit in the browser - I think it's totally worth optimizing.

St. Orchint's Orphanage by Double Zero One Zero 2015-12-16T21:35:00

Well done! Definitely worth pursuing further.

Midnight Runner by CustomPhase 2015-12-16T20:54:00

Really nice graphics! Good music too.

If you keep going, I feel like this mechanic lends itself to designed levels rather than randomly generated ones.

I could imagine a boss battle : )

Carp'e Diem! by Archonthewizard 2015-12-16T20:44:00

Really well done - great use of different enemy types - good progression.

Awesome music and atmosphere. I feel like this would be a great game for kids (I mean that in the best possible way).

Bravo!

Spinning Around by DinnerInTheDark 2015-12-16T20:22:00

So good! Very polished! Great level design!

I want to see what those robots do behind that final curtain!

GURU by TomenLuca 2015-12-16T20:13:00

Awesome job! So much content for LD. Well done.

It seems like the strategy is to play cards that counter? Seemed to get me through pretty easily. That may be the first thing to balance/tweak if you keep working on it.

Enliven by Patacorow 2015-12-16T20:04:00

Such a great job! Worth continuing for sure.

I'd love to be able to cancel growing if i realize i've done the wrong thing. I know the short levels kind of achieves this, but it'd be nice to have a way to restart a seed if i know its going wrong (especially for the platform and tunnel seeds).

Space Elf by Farfin 2015-12-16T19:52:00

Awesome job!

Pretty hard - I would like restart to be faster.

Button Betting by torcado 2015-12-16T19:43:00

Haha I love this. The first time the game changed I was so surprised. Great work.

Famous Bus Movie Game by BuffaloPhil 2015-12-16T19:32:00

Awesome graphics and funny title. Really really nice work.

I'd like it to be harder and shorter - currently there's a lot of dead time it feels like, meaning I'd like to lose faster and more often rather than playing 20 seconds really easily and then losing and having to replay those 20 easy seconds.

Another Dragon by GeorgeBroussard 2015-12-16T19:27:00

Awesome graphics - really nice. Made me think of Another world and Don't look Back. Loved the boss battle!

Garden Grow by justinooncx 2015-12-16T19:23:00

The bounce feels right good! Nice responsive controls. Good work!

Longbeard by Joe Williamson 2015-12-16T19:02:00

Great job!

Zunus by Jonathan Whiting 2015-12-16T18:47:00

Great job - awesome camera work. Great dialogue. Tight controls - well done!

Gardening Rabbit by lurils 2015-12-16T18:33:00

Yeah, you nailed that style you were going for. Good work : )

Is the rhythm of the game supposed to change or is that some kind of lag? That was kind of distracting to me.

The Climbers by NirabazGAMES 2015-12-16T16:41:00

Well done. Nice design. If you've never played GIRP check it out! http://www.foddy.net/GIRP.html

Line/Dash by Eingya 2015-12-16T16:35:00

Well done! Nice design. Feels like it's worth developing more.

One thing is that I found it sort of hard to track where to right click when a cube was far across the screen, but maybe that's part of the challenge.

ICECUBE by Stuntddude 2015-12-16T16:00:00

Really nice take on idea and good level design. Gave up on the jumping puzzle tho : / - a bit too hard in the sense that it's really hard to know whether or not you're grounded.

Witchgarden Leafiosa by phi6 2015-12-16T00:54:00

Super impressive game for 72 hours! It doesn't feel like it was made in a short time. Great graphics - beautiful feel. Great jump!

I didn't have the patience to finish, but I grokked the mechanic easily enough. It feels like a game for kids - really soothing with find and combine puzzles.

I think I'd like to have to combine something sooner in the game so that I understand that better.

Great Great jorb!

Upright by BoltKey 2015-12-16T00:27:00

really nice mechanic, well done. - it's not that it's hard, it's just that the difficulty ramps up too quickly. I think the speed is also really infuriating, took me many times to beat 3 level but half the time spent was building up the bouncing far enough.

Harmony Bloom by Bensonance 2015-12-15T22:31:00

Really nice - very similar to our entry in some ways. Well done!

I found it visually difficult to distinguish where i could walk (was fine after i figured out the things were pipes not walls) - I also found the mouse confusing because - kept forgettting if i was using bird or shadow to click.

MILK TEETH by Rufson 2015-12-15T22:21:00

Great interaction design. Gets pretty brutal - definitely had a moment where I was like... What am I doing? Why am I doing this to this man?

Note: There's a bug with the blood - when the head goes up and down the blood doesn't follow sometimes.

Robomancer by JayProg 2015-12-15T22:18:00

Nice graphics! If you keep working on it I would considering making it WASD to move.

Planet God by Doctor_N 2015-12-15T21:54:00

I loved this! Good job. Totally worth pursuing. I played for a while.

Just gonna let my mind go on this:
I'd love to see conditions other than earth like life. Or maybe you can start multiple planets and then you have control of a solar system where every planet is affecting the other. Just thinking since it seems like the progression is to be balancing more and more stuff...

Anyway, great job!

PS: I had some scaling issues on Mac - couldn't get it to fit quite right on my screen.

Sumou no Kurieta by fafastudio 2015-12-15T20:20:00

very good take on this type of retro game - really consistent design from looks to music. good work!

Trash Mountain by teamross 2015-12-15T19:23:00

Really nice - i love the physics interactions - really tightly made - didn't see any bugs. Does the rain actually do anything? I like the particles when the trash hits the ground. My suggestion is getting rid of mouse click - i think it'd be more fun if you just picked up the closest thing you are next to that you are facing rather than having to click on the object to pick it up.

RocketBoy by Prophet Steve 2015-12-15T19:18:00

Very cool mechanic - well executed and nice level design, however I gave up before the end because because of difficulty. Would be nice on a touch screen - a bit frustrating with mouse. Overall great job! Seems worth developing more.

Snowy Smasher by Reversal Mirror 2015-12-15T19:03:00

Good work! I love how the menu transitions into the gameplay.

Velociraptor Cyborg Post Apokalypse! by LadyS 2015-12-15T18:52:00

Awesome art! Real cohesive.

QUACK! QUACK! Save the duck! by zebi24 2015-12-15T18:34:00

I beat it! Cool idea - never seen it done before. Something about the controls are incredibly frustrating... but that's also what makes it hard. Good work! Cool graphics.

Growing Up by blurryroots 2015-12-15T18:09:00

Nice job!

Paper Tank Arena by eemmbbeerr 2015-12-15T17:27:00

I really like the graphics! Would like to be able to shoot the enemies' missles. Upgrades are cool. Maybe need a little more visual indication of the borders or the arena. Nice work!

Voidbound by disdanes 2015-12-15T03:26:00

this was really cool. i like the graphics/music/story a lot. though i feel like the character would realize what was happening to him at the very least right after he becomes the sun. the rest felt way too obvious. and almost as if the character had little personal growth despite being through this whole thing. anyway, don't mean to sound harsh it was real cool! nice work!
