Mystical Island by azakharov 2021-04-26T19:05:35Z

Fun: A little bit annoying. There was a lot of bad rng. I liked it but it got a bit annoying at times.

Innovation: It is a survival game and I dont see many survival games in game jams.

Theme: Interesting take on the theme.

Graphics: I liked the graphics. I think the notifications in the top right could have been better in the middle of the screen because I didnt notice them at first.

Audio: I liked the ambient sounds and background music.

Humor: There might have been a bit of gruesome humor.

Mood: Really good. The audio and mysterious people really helped.

Overall: Nice game. You should update post-jam.

Where's my dynoMITE? [LD48] by miej 2021-04-26T23:56:39Z

Fun: It was fun but I think I would have liked it more if the person didnt fall off.

Innovation: Interesting idea.

Theme: It fits the theme because you had to go down with the helicopter

Graphics: I didnt like the graphics that much.

Audio: The sound effects were amazing.

Humor: A bit of humor from the audio.

Mood: IDK how to grade this one.

Overall: Interesting idea I thing the gameplay could have been less janky and art better but overall good job!

Dig Deeper & Deeper: Go Deep (HTML5) by vexorian 2021-04-30T00:30:34Z

Fun: Good, I love puzzle games and this was a nice one

Innovation: Not the most innovative game but there are some nice mechanics I haven't seen in other dig games

Theme: Good interpretation even if its not the most creative

Graphics: Nice pixelated graphics

Overall: Really cool game with interesting mechanics

Cavebop by LukeTobin 2021-04-26T22:08:09Z

Fun: It felt a little bland. It was more like a puzzle where I was just stumbling in the dark which isn't really fun. I think I would have enjoyed if I could see everything and try to figure out what to do.

Innovation: Pretty good.

Theme: It fits because it moves down to get to the goal.

Overall: Decent game.

Feast or Famine by ColinBellino 2022-04-07T01:11:48Z

**Fun:** This game was pretty good after I found out that I needed to dash on the jam page (adding some text saying to press shift would have been helpful). I also think the combat was very repetitive, especially against melee enemies. Another thing I noticed is that when you enter from the left on some rooms in the last level a small melee guys hits you before you can react.

**Innovation:** I can tell this was inspired by Binding of Isaac, but the health draining does add some nice tension and difference.

**Theme:** It fits pretty well.

**Graphics:** The graphics are really great. I especially like the perspective on the walls.

**Audio:** The music and SFX are very high quality, I really like how you had you had the evil laugh.

**Humor:** Really good!

**Mood:** Nice job! I think having a lighting system would have been really cool (you already have candles) but I get that you couldn't get to that in the time haha.

**Overall:** Really great quality game!

Last Stand by XeduR 2022-04-07T16:04:32Z

**Fun:** I liked this type of wave game. The different types of guns were nice but it was sometimes hard to differentiate between the different guns. One problem I noticed is that in some guns have the bullets spawn far away from from bullet so the enemies that are close to you don't get hit.

**Innovation:** I always find this category hard to rate but its decently innovative.

**Theme:** It fits pretty well though you can survive for a while.

**Graphics:** I love this art style. The animations all feel great! I especially like the death animation for the enemies it feels really good. I do wish there was some animation for the player dash.

**Audio:** Everything sounds good, but I see that you used premade assets.

**Humor:** I guess the player face looks kinda funny.

**Mood:** Nice! Everything looks dark and moody.

**Overall:** Really good job for three days.

Wormageddon by MatterLinx 2022-04-07T03:45:34Z

**Fun:** The game is absolutely amazing ... but I almost quit because I always tried to dash away from the two attacks where you're supposed to jump so I always died really quickly, so I went to the page and saw the dash had no freeze frames and I was like oh I needed to jump lol. Anyways I agree with the guy above me that defending with a shield should have more of an impact so it feels better when you get the timing right. I also wish you could skip the text at the beginning.

**Innovation:** I alway have a hard time rating this category but it is pretty innovative.

**Theme:** It fits the theme well!

**Graphics:** The 2.5 visuals are absolutely amazing. Its crazy how much you guys made all the worlds and the free fall upgrade area in the jam time, all look super great.

**Audio:** The music is fantastic (I'm running out of adjectives to use lol) but more sound effects would have been nice.

**Humor:** The old man was pretty funny (although I did want to push him off the tower) and it gave me major Celeste vibes which is always a great thing.

**Mood:** The mood was good, I liked the saturated visuals when you could have done more bleak and dark.

**Overall:** Just a great game overall, will be playing more after I've done with rating other jam games. I also found a bug where if you move to the left and jump up you can see some text appear quickly.

@silkmeloni @madness I agree, and I was adding a bow enemy with 2 hours left in the jam but my power went out so I didn’t get to finish it

@izokia are you using a vpn?

Gladiatorus by Pepper Boi 2022-04-06T02:03:44Z

@amberfall92 Thanks, lol

Gladiatorus by Pepper Boi 2022-04-06T02:06:10Z

@david-york Thanks, the face over the players head was meant to be the fans getting bored

Gladiatorus by Pepper Boi 2022-04-06T02:10:29Z

@izokia what browser are you on

Gladiatorus by Pepper Boi 2022-04-07T14:15:22Z

@kazuren Thanks for the in depth feedback! My original plan was for the online multiplayer part of game where the other players would be running away but when I realized how laggy the game was I decided to also make the single player mode. At first the enemies ran away from the player at 1hp left but that made it so that the gameplay was boring and after you had all the enemies more you had to run to all the corners of the map and kill them and it was pretty boring. My other idea to fix this was to add ranged enemies, so I started this with about 3 hours left but with 2 hours left my power went out so I wasn’t able to finish it :sob:.

I decided up as an end screen because I knew making it endless wouldn’t be the best time investment so I made the win screen so the player would get a good feeling of winning and I made it so you died on the win screen so I thought it fit well enough.

I am very new with particles and I have no idea what they were doing and so I decided to do other stuff lol.

Thanks again for the feedback!

@izokia Does https://pepperboi.com/offline/index.html work?

Gladiatorus by Pepper Boi 2022-04-17T19:03:59Z

@lpettler @noiyy @spadekhemoglobiny @quinn-patrick Thanks for the reviews :two_hearts: , I was almost done with a bow for the enemy and the player but my power went out so I wasn't able to finish it. Also for the score system, there is an ending if you get far enough because I wasnt able to make it endless.

Jailbound Joyride by AmberFall92 2022-04-05T23:56:56Z

**Fun:** I love these types of arcady endless games. Jumping on the enemy cars was very satisfying.

**Innovation:** This category is always confusing to rate, but this game is pretty innovative. I don't remember seeing a sidescroller type game like with enemies like the cars so good job!

**Theme:** It fits well. Not sure what more to say here.

**Graphics:** The visuals are terrific. The cars, the background, the effects, everything. My only suggestion here would be to add parallax layers for the background.

**Audio:** It sounded good!

**Humor:** Love the little quips you added after you died... Noobwaffle :rofl:

**Mood:** I liked how you had the lamp posts they really added a lot to the mood and the graphics.

**Overall:** Really good polished game! Not much that I would change.

Cold and Alone by David York 2022-04-06T01:04:38Z

**Fun:** This game was amazing, I got so immersed. I got to a spot where there are no upgrades left so I stopped playing after a while. Screen Shot 2022-04-05 at 5.30.48 PM.png One thing that was annoying was that sometimes you were one block away from something you wanted and I feel like a good way to help with this is having it possible to stay out into the night but theres a chance you die in the rover. Another small thing is that the movement keys were hard to get the hang of at first.

**Innovation:** I always find it hard to rate this category but I think its pretty good.

**Theme:** It fits, though if you survive a while it gets to the point where freezing to death doesn't feel as inevitable.

**Graphics:** All the art looks really nice, especially the hab art. I wish there was some interpolation when moving in the game world but other than that its great!

**Audio:** None, it sucks because this would probably be the perfect jam game otherwise and would make the game feel more immersive, but you got so much stuff into the game it makes sense that you didn't have time to do audio.

**Humor:** Good. There were a few lines like the one about cheeseburgers that were funny.

**Mood:** The mood is really good, but could definitely be improved with audio.

**Overall:** As one of the other guys said, if/when you make this into a full game I would buy it in a heartbeat.
