The Ghost Haunter by Gnappuraz 2019-10-13T15:31:15Z ♥ 2
Love the art style! If only there was more time -- I would've really enjoyed playing more. The concept is really cool as well.

This was really well done! The feel of the game is great, the controls and mechanics are easy to grasp, and the back and forth between the invasive seeds and nature keeps you thinking on your toes. At level five, as you sprout in all directions to combat four different fronts, it can sometimes be hard to see all of the attacking bugs. That aside, I had a blast playing this game. Great use of theme, too!
If this is your group's first foray into Unity, I have to say I'm impressed! Even if the game is not on-theme, it has a lot that's generally hard to accomplish when you're working on your first game (exactly as @fre points out). You should all still be proud! The control scheme felt a bit strange using shift to attack, but it was otherwise easy to play (though harder to win).
This game is much harder than I thought! I felt challenged having to bob and weave through flocks of crows while I was trying to pick up their dead brethren and deliver them to the gods. Really like the premise, use of the theme, and aesthetics here. A suggestion for building on this would be to add a clearer indicator for your mojo loss per hit and god appeasement per sacrifice (or more emphasis on the animation as the values change), and keeping a tally on how many birds you manage to sacrifice before the end.
Good job with this!
Was hoping I'd find a game with this concept! Liked your art and sounds. I think the unsealing mechanic is refreshing, since it adds another level of depth. Nice work!
Love mini games. The bounce game was the most difficult to immediately understand since it's control scheme differed, but it was simple once I understood it. The thrusters game definitely proved the hardest. Would love some silly sounds and background music here, but overall it's well done!
Really fun! I like the sounds and character choice. I enjoyed having to dance around baton-wielding cops while trying to shoot those in the back. Managed to get 3600 before being taken out by a single stray bullet from my right blind-spot (covered by a pillar). Great game!
This is awesome. The assets are great. It's fun, humorous, and simple to play -- and the controls are presented so clearly that you'd have to be trying to miss them on purpose. I achieved my victories even as I was falling because the computer was knocked off first. Hilarious. Well done!
Can't believe I made it out! Simple but well executed concept. Good mood setting! I think it'd be better if it was full-screen in browser by default. Nice work!
My favorite thing had to be the sounds skeletons made when they died. Hilarious. Movement seems a bit slow but fine once you adapt. The buttons definitely add more fun to the game then simply running around. Hit feedback is hard to gauge and it would be great to have a score (either time-based or skeletons slain based). Great assets as well. Nice work.
The gameplay was clever. I had fun solving the levels' puzzles -- their complexity became apparent after I noticed I could use leftover blocks and had to be more strategic in destroy rows of grey ones. Not too difficult yet not too simple. Really enjoyed it!
Definitely a creative and humorous idea. Control scheme is simple but the execution and timing makes it difficult to master. Really good feel with the audio, humor, and art. Great work!
Had some difficulty with registering mouse clicks at times, and holding the mouse would also cause the meter to reset sometimes. Still, the art is great, the mood is spot on, and the levels are very well designed. Great job on the drowning ball and player teleport animations as well. Solid work.
A game after my own heart! I also enjoy making silly characters, though only one of mine is a bird variant. Anyway, the game play here is simple yet offers great flexibility and options. The characters are humorous and differentiated with their stats. The artwork is superb and the music is chill. It was easy to dive in and figure out my strategy. Excellent job!
This game was awesome! It looked great, offered easy to understand controls and really fun play. The artwork is humorous and exceptional. The genre combination is really clever, too, and fits very nicely into the game, providing interesting choices as the waves build up and you have more options to deal with them. To all involved, a superb job!
The "cute-em-up" combination seems really unique to me, and the game is definitely cute. I also encountered the endlessly dying to ghosts bug, although I got a kick out of it. Good artwork and sound effects for the game. I'd suggest adding some looping music in the background. Good work!
Aw this is cu ---- OMG WAIT NO AAAAH! Haha, what a hilariously unpredictable game. Every choice I made ended up with a more than amusing result. I was a tad confused on the controls but once I got that down, it was quite the trip. The game's art and audio are also superb. What a marvelous idea this was! Great job!
Great art and graphics. Really appreciate that the game explains its interface before the user actually starts playing! I felt that the ships were too difficult to destroy with just one tower, or perhaps having a small jump means you can only get time to shoot at a handful yourself before they collide with the planet? Regardless, the premise is solid and simple. Good work!
Ha, the dialogue is hilarious! The artwork is great as well, and the death states are smooth (I also really liked "Distracted" and "Infected"). It was a tad confusing just diving in and figuring out the wall jumps for myself, though.
Overall, solid job and great creativity in your theme combination!
There's a lot to like about this game. The art, sounds, and mood are cute, enjoyable and polished to fit its desired theme. The movement is smooth and the interface is simple. The levels are clever and the core mechanic of the game (the switching) even more so! The control scheme is also very easy to use. I'm really impressed with every aspect of this game. You guys knocked it out of the park -- fantastic job!

Get your trash off my lawn! by Chairshot Games 2022-04-09T21:24:25Z ♥ 2
I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the trash colliding with each other -- made things far more interesting! Love the arcade-like sounds and the pixel art. Even when I finally lost, I still enjoyed watching everything fall in from the top. Fun game!
Nuts and Volts by MeeseAgainstHumanity 2022-04-09T19:27:05Z ♥ 0
Love the pixel art, the music, and the sounds of attacks here. The light moving with the lasers and illuminating the ground / enemies it passes over was a very nice touch! I think a great improvement would be an indicator of impact when the player or enemies get hit aside from when they explode -- like a screen shake or the laser colliding and exploding. Well done!
DOWN the DUNGEON by renrok 2022-04-09T19:21:32Z ♥ 4
Loved having to balance between breaking pots, killing enemies, and falling through the pits when I bit off more than I could chew, rather than just shooting everything to clear. And absolutely beautiful art style! With sound effects on top of the visual polish, this could be even better, and it's already very solid. Very well done!
On Thin Ice by Nikl 2022-04-09T15:11:46Z ♥ 1
Good use of the theme and simple controls -- though the game isn't necessarily easy! I love the arbitrary use of cows. And, of course, appreciate the programmer art. Nice work!
Word Wizard by Slecornu 2022-04-09T14:30:18Z ♥ 1
The art is fantastic, and I love how the music ramps up. Excellent sound effects, too. Only thing I ran into that confused me was target selection, but once I got the hang of it, I enjoyed beating back the minions and spamming my keys to combo through them. Wonderful game!
Like Rabbits by ruthiepee 2022-04-09T13:27:39Z ♥ 0
Simple to play, but hard to play well. I love the sprites and music. I think some added sounds or animations based on user interactions (like the click/drag), sound outlines for overlapping rabbits, and improving the resolution of the text in the UI would be great next steps. Excellent idea for the theme, as well. Nice work!
Beavers Inc. by ditam 2022-04-08T17:10:45Z ♥ 1
Love the arcade style and premise. The game is fun and easy to dive into. It wasn't immediately intuitive in the tutorial that I had to go get wood until after it flooded a portion of the map and told me, but after that, the rest of the game's mechanics were smooth sailing. Love the dialogue, too. Great game!
Grieventide by Abdonatioera 2022-04-08T00:53:00Z ♥ 2
Love the sprites and mood of this game. The sword swings feel good, and the animation is clean. Fighting the boss was fun -- definitely was surprised when I returned to the center and saw it there. Nice work!
JellyJam by potkirland 2022-04-07T23:14:33Z ♥ 1
Big fan of the aesthetic, and love the jelly's face! Enjoyed playing around with the jet stream mechanic a bit and trying to use it more carefully.
Five Knights in France by Pixelydian 2022-04-07T23:05:47Z ♥ 1
Love the premise. When the knight spotted me and music changed, my heart skipped a beat and gave me a good laugh! Love the pixel art and juice in the UI / interacting with objects.
Electro Rush by Giardi 2022-04-07T02:16:04Z ♥ 1
Got passed camera sensitivity issues with the options menu provided (even having that in a jam game is a pleasant surprise). Love the character model and feel of jumping around -- and I appreciate that you can hang onto the edges!
Death Is Inevitable by TherealMoebius 2022-04-07T00:00:30Z ♥ 0
Damn that was menacing. Tensed up every time I turned a corner. Lasted about 500 seconds though before I died though!
Meteor Storm by sprngr 2022-04-05T21:23:28Z ♥ 1
This game is SMOOTH and full of style. I love how chill the music and the start is -- but once you get hit once, the pressure's on! And it ramps up really well. Great work!
Hyper Kremlin Bros. II Tournament Edition by Samps 2022-04-05T21:18:08Z ♥ 2
Couldn't help but chuckle at the dark relevance to our current times. +1 Gameplay is intuitive and the art/UI is awesome. Love how chill the music is against the tension of the situation. Simple controls and great polish!
