Cursed Samurai by palsina 2019-05-01T20:29:45Z ♥ 0

Really cool little game! Loved the art and the feel of the character, I kinda wish there was audio though, it would have completed the game!

One issue was the alternate controls, they don't work well for a WebGL only build, mainly the block, because Alt causes you to lose focus on the window, which can kill you, so you're kinda forced to use WSAD and mouse.

Great effort!

Really nice little experience, love how you went meta in the middle, I know a breathing game by someone too.... Really nice art and good job with the dialogues, a little short but not too bad! Good effort!

The Branch by Poffle 2019-05-01T19:59:01Z ♥ 2

That was a great little game! Took me a while to realise what I had to do, the objective at the start wasn't clear, I didn't realise I was the banker dude lol, probably not paying attention. Really pleasing art style, the humour was great and the sound track and voice acting was spot on. Good job all of you!

Lousy Life Lessons - [LLL] by AwesomeAlliterationAlliance 2019-05-01T19:27:15Z ♥ 3

Holy crap guys, this is the best LD game I have played so far. The graphics/art style were amazing, the storytelling was really good and the sheer amount of work that has gone in to this is amazing, I can't believe what you have manaed in 72 hours! My hat is off to you all!

The only problem I did come across, which is a common Unity thing, getting stuck on the side of platforms was a thing occasionally, it was a blemish on what I can only describe as a perfect game.

Great job at the game, I do love me a builder type game! Some things were a bit weird though, it seems no matter how many farms I put down, even with a low population my food kept going down? Also I ran out of population despite there being about 20+ meeple on the screen xD

There was a small bug when going back to the menu after dying, the play button doesn't work anymore, probably some dodgy prefab reference error or something.

Great job! Just needs some polish :)

A Life At Stake by JustMars 2019-04-30T20:33:43Z ♥ 3

Brilliant little game! Nice use of a bunch of minigames and nice to see a character creator in there! I think the rejection penalties are a bit harsh in some situations, I mean losing 150HP for getting rejected sucks, especially if you have to go through the character creator again (I just didn't bother after a couple of times). Great graphics and use of the theme, good job!

Well done on your first game and jam dude! Great to have you amongst us!

Your game does have a couple of issues which may have been solved with play testing. 1. Right clicking that much, my middle finger just isn't built for it xD left click would have been nicer, or the choice! 2. The bullets from the player are just too darn slow, due to how fast and erratic the enemies are, it's near on impossible to hit anything.

Oh and I had an issue where the game went in to an infinite loop and I couldn't close it or anything, had to kill it in task manager (have you got a while loop somewhere?)

Last bit of advice, don't use installers, people hate using installers because it leaves crap on the machine, best just to zip up the game files and put the game somewhere like itch.io :)

Give it some polish and get some music/sound fx in there and this won't be a bad little game, keep it up!

Greenback by Finn Truman 2019-04-30T20:13:55Z ♥ 2

Good effort dude, I really liked the personal touch of the getting hurt sounds and the personally recorded music (But dude, tune your guitar xD). Excellent use of the theme and very humorous! The character felt a little floaty and the game was quite easy until you get to the bit where there's 3 guys shooting at you, I was just screwed every time.

Good effort :)

Lifelight by Kromzem 2019-04-30T20:04:45Z ♥ 2

Great atmosphere in this game and the music fit really well. The story was nicely played out, the only thing which caught me offguard was when the game started, I thought I was still in a cutscene, having some sort of UI appear might have told me "hey, you're ingame now", it would have been nice to see how much light I had and how much health I had remaining, kinda just died out of nowhere xD Good job though!

Ten Minutes to Kill the Wizard by nerdbaron 2019-04-30T19:58:27Z ♥ 0

Man your game is hard as nails xD The only way I could get to the wizard was to just run past everything then I got my ass handed to me due to the bullethellness lol. Cool little game, could use some polish as I was getting hit constantly, it seems like I couldn't really avoid it, maybe balance it a bit and make the wizard a bit less bullethellish lol. Good effort!

Bloodmoon Season by dock 2019-04-30T19:50:00Z ♥ 3

The atmosphere and the graphics were great! It looks really nice. However a few things cropped up as a problem and some things kinda ruined the experience. 1. The character keeps moving after you let go of the forward button for a few steps 2. The mouse pointer isn't hidden, it's stuck on the centre spot 3. There is no dead bodies to harvest, I must have gone around the map multiple times 4. Despite having ammo, I couldn't attack the werewolf (the only one) and there was no tutorial on how to attack. 5. The atmosphere would really benefit from some highly reverbed footsteps, maybe some heavy breathing (to instil a bit of panic) and some atmospheric music to build the tension.

So yeah, could be good, but the fundamental parts of your game are missing, it would be nice to see this once you have them implemented! Good work!
