Ride Out by Stending 2017-08-07T16:13:56Z

This was cool! It's a simple runner with some neat paralax going on, it took a few runs before I noticed the progression but I did really enjoy it when it showed up! I feel like you might want to include a more clear metric for this like a distance counter or something that lets the player know they're progressing. Good job!

Good job! I gave my comments on stream so I guess you don't need to hear any more nonsense from me :)

Escape the Earth before its too late by Alien 2017-08-07T16:24:39Z

Great job on your first entry! I actually really liked the zoomed in view I think that made the searching more interesting than it perhaps would have been on its own. I hope you keep making stuff!

Deadly Diver by Ethan Kennerly 2017-12-07T14:29:48Z

Cool stuff! The artwork is really nice, lots of neat little touches. The gameplay definitely has a limited life-span due to the mechanics but it was a strong effort at a very difficult to work with theme. Good work!

Glad to hear it @sholf!

FIREBALL by SaraJS 2018-08-31T12:47:24Z

It should be! It's weird that it isn't. Making your own graphics is a part of the rules of the compo anyway! Very strange? @conk

We Are Millions by Blizary 2018-09-04T16:36:56Z

Unfortunately my browser couldn't really handle the game after the planet (and local orbit) became swarmed with bears! The bears didn't seem to count towards the population bar, so they just kept swarming until the game was nigh on unplayable which I guess is sort of a loss as well? haha. Fun little idea, it would be interesting to see more types of life and how they interact rather than just destructive weapons, to see how natural (and unnatural) eco systems might affect one another! Good work. :)

All Become One by SaraJS 2019-05-02T17:18:02Z

@youpeoples I think it's for good reason! Hah. They really rely on lots of systems that push and pull on one another which is not something well suited to building in a short game jam. This might have made a better 72h Jam entry but I didn't have that time to commit.

All Become One by SaraJS 2019-05-22T00:42:07Z

Nice game!

The Infinite Ark by SaraJS 2020-10-06T23:01:26Z

Thanks @finn-truman ! Argh sorry to hear about the events, you know the whole way through the jam I wondered if that was going to be an issue but just never seemed to run into it so I had assumed by luck the button positions never lined up for that to happen. Could have been easily fixed just by adding a bit of a delay before you can select an option. Oh well!

And yeah I really wanted to get scores tracked or something like that but was too indecisive with where to put it in the UI up until there was simply no time.

The Infinite Ark by SaraJS 2020-10-22T23:29:43Z

@joellikespigs yeah it's tricky. The type of thing that likely takes more than a few hours to balance out! I leaned on trying to get more variety (which even that was a struggle) which meant only really ending up with one or two ways to get each necessary 'resource'.

@bytinggames there is a solution to the 'three holes' :)

Depth by SaraJS 2021-04-27T22:33:24Z

@jefvel The pattern you describe is actually always possible if you use wall bounces but I agree it can feel bad! Hype to see anyone beat it though!

I don't mind too much about what is good/bad "for a gamejam" bc I'm really just trying to challenge myself or make the best work I can and it was built to be extremely difficult.

I beat every zone individually multiple times when building it although it took some time after the jam to complete a full playthrough.

Thanks so much for playing! -S

Depth by SaraJS 2021-04-28T18:25:40Z

@lakea Yeah a few people have this issue! Hard to know what to do about it as a lot of the causes seem to be from things pretty key to the experience :((

I've heard playing in windowed mode makes it a bit better.

Depth by SaraJS 2021-04-29T22:27:05Z

Gosh thank you @eden-shazar ! Yeah that's exactly what I was going for it's great to hear it worked for someone! =)

Depth by SaraJS 2021-05-01T12:42:28Z

@barelyevengames thanks for playing! I don't agree about the difficulty in general as I don't think everyone needs to be personally able to complete the game. However i do already agree about the nature of the 'puzzles' given they're so different conceptually to the rest of the game which is otherwise so honest about its challenges. I at one point planned a checkpoint style system but there wasn't ultimately enough content to merit it and I wasn't interested in guaranteeing everyone could eventually get through it. A future version might have it if the game grows though! Good effort on your attempts! ^_^

Deeper Into The Forest by SnappyPath 2021-04-26T22:45:49Z

Nice job! There's a certain spookiness about the slow travel and not quite knowing when I was going to have to react.

Because there was a travel time for the fireballs it felt a little bit like some skeletons were harder to get good scores on than others? It's hard to tell for sure though, there might just be a very tight difference between excellent and good.

Fun simple mechanic well executed!

ShardReign - A love Story by Flatgub 2018-04-24T12:01:48Z

This was awesome! I'm a sucker for this kind of game generally, but I loved the concept and the story even if you didn't get time to deliver everything you wanted to.

I think I accidentally managed to cheat by giving myself the ticket, wasn't sure if I started with it at first but then when I was checking out the source code it seems there is a (possibly left over debug?) command to just add it to the inventory with the O button.

You're also a much cleaner and more sensible coder than I am, I tie my code in knots for game jams but this all seems pretty solid throughout which is a feat in and of itself. I hope because of that you plan on adding more to this, it's great!

Tower of Cards by SaraJS 2018-04-23T12:32:31Z

Yep, @thani! That sounds like one of I'm sure many cases where things will break due to a lack of testing. Thanks for the headsup. That's pretty funny with the pathfinding bugs. It's all a bit held together with paperclips and frustration haha.

And yeah I agree with you on the all the design stuff there, lots of different ways to improve and I knew the difficulty was way off (and could sense the goldmines were going to be a tough one to get right) but hey, that's Jams for you.

Thanks for playing and for the detailed comment! -S

Fluff Piece by PUR3 2018-04-27T19:12:48Z

Good job! Very well put together. Maybe work on tightening up the game feel.

[Release]Rhythm Tower Defense by Positive7 2018-04-23T15:28:45Z

The music was v cute! I think overall this is a rhythm game first that is mostly wrapped in the _context_ of a tower defence that mostly works to represent to the player how well they're doing. But I think it works well nonetheless and is still an interesting and novel way to visualize a rhythm game. Some of the hit detection felt wonky and unforgiving at times but I might just be bad at it.

Good job!
