Interesting idea, and implementing it with a quantum computer sim is certainly innovative.
As mentioned it seems a little easy atm as you get constant streams of one colour for a long period, and they even heal you.
One minor point, it said press (O) to restart at the end, but it didn't work for me. (Pressing Z or X)
Cool concept. Took me a while to realise that you couldn't direct the blocks, and that refreshing wasn't a loss. Nice little incremental game.
Really cool idea. Captures the mood well.
Moving around to talk to everyone was a bit awkward at times.
Would be interesting to see this system used with more choices, but this was a nice little true story.
Fun idea. As mentioned it was not obvious you could pick them up. Once you can the game feels a bit limited, just pick up one baby and block the other. Lots of interesting deaths though.
Also, one missing feature relative to commercial game "Dad Quest" is "Play as male or female Dad" :D
Interesting idea. Quite relaxing once I got the hang of it.
One thing I'd say is that the heartbeat background sound didn't seem to correspond to what I was doing at all, which was a bit confusing at first.
It might also be nice to have increasing difficulty over time. As it is this is more of an endurance challenge once you get handle on the controls.
Nice work. I found it quite difficult, so I wasn't able to get that far. The jumping is okay, but I felt like the hitboxes on the platforms were a bit off. I fell off the edges quite often. Also the asteroid felt a little unfair at times, since it can just come out of nowhere and push you back to the bottom.
One minor point: The text is quite small in the cinematic, and hard to read.
Cool idea.
One thing I'd say is that the controls get a bit confusing when you're on the top part of the globe. It might be better to keep the character still and rotate the world. (Might be thematic too, the world revolves around you 🤔)
Fun little growing game. As mentioned above, it was not obvious how to buy more seeds at first, and one other thing about that is that it was hard to tell how much blood I was going to lose by buying. It was really hard to judge at what point I should buy bloodkins for that reason.
Cool idea for mechanics. I didn't quite get the hang of it though 😅 One thing that wasn't clear was what exactly triggered the end of the level.
Interesting idea, and well implemented. I'm afraid I couldn't quite get the hang of this though. 😓 One minor point, the collision is a little bit messed up on the edges of ledges sometimes.
Amazing graphical style and voice work. Game is quite short, and it was a little unclear that I just had to wait once I'd looked at everything. I'd love to see a longer version of this.
Random thought, have you considered making something in Voxatron? Your voxel art style would fit really well there! https://www.lexaloffle.com/voxatron.php
Fun little simple tower game. I played all three difficulties and had fun. 🙂
However, I felt like there weren't many interesting choices. Upgrading everything as fast as possible is fairly easy, and the Ninja is free so you pretty much just use it at the last possible second. Perhaps you could add more upgrade options to provide some interesting choices.
I'd also agree with the comment above about pacing. Once you fully upgrade the turrets, it takes quite a while of nothing happening before you can build the wall.
(Also, protect the rich? Booooo 😜)
Really cool graphical style. Interesting mechanics. I'd agree with the other comment tho that the LOSE screen is quite jarring, and unclear what exactly happened.
Interesting concept, not explaining the details here. Although once I worked out how it worked, it was fairly easy to keep it alive indefinitely. The puzzle was interesting up until that point though 🙂
TRAIN!
It wasn't immediately obvious how everything worked here, might be good to add an explanation screen with controls and explaining that wood=fuel.
I found this quite hard, it seemed like no matter how quickly I was chopping I couldn't keep the train fueled up.
Neat little idea, with tile placement.
Maybe I just wasn't getting the strategy, but I found it quite hard to recover after a disaster, because existing things would be in the way.
The music was kinda annoying, I had to turn it off.
Fun little game. Nice to play something with a clearly designed path and endpoint.
The collision detection felt a little off to me, especially when walking left towards walls.
Fun little idea. The tutorial is really nicely done.
Fun little resource management game, and it captures the mood of the times quite well.
The UI seems a bit small on my computer, and doesn't seem to scale in fullscreen either.
MacOS version isn't working for me, sorry.
MacOS version isn't working for me, sorry. 🙁
This was lovely, already very atmospheric, but the voiceover was extra calming. 😌
Link fix working. It's an interesting little economics, sim. The interface is perhaps a little bit awkward though.

Bullet Hell isn't really my thing, but I still had fun with this game.
I loved the TTS voice announcement, and the art at the station! How come no Audio/Graphics ratings? I wanted to give them a good score. 😭
Groovy B and the Great Cownundrum by 6smith 2020-10-06T05:14:58Z ♥ 1
Fun little game, really nice gameboy-ish aesthetic. I's agree with other commenters that the interact positioning is a little fiddly and unintutitive and the jump behaves strangely though.

Yeah, I agree with @sanojian here, the way the crosshairs are locked in a circle but the mouse moves freely makes it really hard to control, because how much the crosshairs move when you move the mouse depends on where the cursor actually is, and you can't see that.

Yeah, this game really needs a control guide. The first jump seems impossible so there must be some mechanic I'm missing.

Unfortunately I'm not very good at it so I didn't get that far, but the artwork is excellent and it has tonnes of polish!

I found a bug. For me the countdown covers a quarter of the screen.Screenshot 2020-10-06 at 05.37.39.png
Also is the countdown supposed to start at 300seconds? Mine started at 120 and I didn't feel like I had enough time to get anything done.

Fun little crafting game.
One issue I ran into was at one point I only needed one copper to finish something, but it didn't spawn any copper at all for ages, not sure if I just got unlucky or if that's a bug.

Really interesting idea! I had a lot of fun working out how to get all the coins.
One thing I noticed is that the movement is a bit sluggish, I think because you're using PICO-8's btnp() which has a delay before repeating. A small tweak there could make it feel smoother. :)
Screw these loops! by TomaszJaworski 2020-10-05T18:24:42Z ♥ 2
This is absolutely hilarious, a really fun idea! :D
Not sure if I missed anything, it seemed to end suddenly, but it did kinda make sense anyway.
Run a circle by SkelleRoznik 2020-10-05T18:18:22Z ♥ 1
A nice simple one. :)
It might be good to make the block generation scale the difficulty over time, I found on some runs it would throw a tonne of moving blocks at me right away, and sometimes it would do static blocks you can go around for ages.
