Codename::GreyHat by Train27 2021-04-28T13:58:34Z ♥ 1

Great submission! Only wish the terminal had a little more functionality like history of ran commands and auto-completion, and maybe a second tab/notepad window to write down notes for yourself within the game. Other than those little QoL bits, the game is great, well done!

20.000 LIGHT YEARS deep in THE SKY by Arivenzys 2021-04-27T21:03:56Z ♥ 4

Brilliant entry, loved every single bit of it, bravo! Got to Eden on the second try, after getting hang of the concept the game is pretty easy, but I've had so much fun, especially the narration. Well done!

Lone Miner by lazarche 2021-04-27T20:50:47Z ♥ 2

A really lovely experience! Love the art, the music, sets the mood perfectly! Platforming was rather challenging, but it suits the game.

Also seeing a dozen of red eyes moving at you from the dark is 👌 a perfect sprinkle of panic I needed at this time haha

Well done!

Catryoshka by mpetrus 2021-04-27T17:35:44Z ♥ 6

Cool game with cute graphics and upbeat atmosphere!

I wish the puzzles were a little more variative, maybe being able to hop back into a larger cat would make for an interesting partial back-tracking (for closing some doors you have previously opened etc?).

Well done!

Deeper Understanding by detectiveLosos 2021-04-27T14:44:33Z ♥ 3

This is absolutely fantastic! Love the atmosphere, the game silently restarting itself and days being repetitive like that really plays well with the theme of descending into a mental illness. I seem to have tried every combination out there is but like some of the other commenters wasn't sure if I have seen all the endings. Wish there was more of this game!

The only issue I've had was the mouse sensitivity being too high, maybe a slider on the intro screen would be helpful.

Well done!

Deep Dive Drive 2000 by Dane Tesla 2021-04-27T13:52:10Z ♥ 3

Well, that's a one creepy uncle 😂 also driving in the middle of the road.. Adds to that slight panic of finding the right words to say haha Great execution visually and musically too, loved it!

INTO THE FRAME by Gaming Night 2021-04-27T13:43:47Z ♥ 1

The amount of polish on this game is absolutely incredible. Love the music, all the transitions and visual effects, amazing feel! Great job guys.

Blood Quest by shaner421 2019-05-02T23:33:10Z ♥ 2

Amazing music and great art, although it suffers from not being pixel perfect and tiles tear from each other during player's movement. Also player rotation following the mouse looks a little derpy outside of battles, I don't move my cursor while navigating through the level so I was moonwalking half the time 😆

Probably not the case for standalone builds, but WebGL could really use a fullscreen button (although not sure if that's technically possible with whatever tech you used for the game).

A very solid entry overall nonetheless and a fun little game, great job!

Criminal Street by GastricSparrow 2019-05-01T04:10:34Z ♥ 1

A well executed idea, fun to play, simple but very fitting graphics

UnderBreak by MlleAB 2019-05-01T03:43:04Z ♥ 2

Is that a Hotline Miami tribute dialogue I see 😆 take all my internet points, great game haha I just wish the combat was maybe a bit more versatile with more moving enemies etc

Arm & A Leg by Deprecat 2019-05-01T03:20:08Z ♥ 0

All around amazing entry, extremely fun to play. Didn't have issues with controls personally.

HeartString by pcoridan 2019-05-01T02:58:45Z ♥ 1

Great graphics and music, really make the atmosphere work for me. Controls aren't great but you can just perceive them as an extra challenge ;p Awesome job overall!

Sinking Town by detectiveLosos 2019-04-30T23:54:20Z ♥ 3

Such a great entry! Graphics look extremely polished apart from a few very minor clipping issues, I love the artstyle. Music, story, everything is just outstanding! Great job you guys!

The Poor Rebellion by Adam Clayden 2019-04-30T23:45:10Z ♥ 1

I wish the artstyle was a bit more consistent. Stick figures fit the game just fine, should've made everything else the same doodly art. Great job on the voice acting, made me giggle quite a bit playing the game :D

Chibi Hobo by GoatBoatGames 2019-04-30T23:40:39Z ♥ 1

I'm in love with those floppy robot arms! Huge props to the character artist! And good job overall, wish the game was a bit longer, I've beat it just as I started figuring things out :D

Piggy Butchery by Reality Blind 2019-04-30T04:02:13Z ♥ 1

For me, the game just hangs after I die, like the first comment mentioned, which is unfortunate, it looks very well polished, love the art and music! Hope you patch this soon!

Reaper's Keeper by chelC 2019-04-30T03:57:12Z ♥ 1

As plenty of people mentioned before, art and music are __outstanding__, but unfortunately, the game is a bit lacking in the gameplay department. Wish there was more variety, perhaps even letting the player actually move around to bring orders to the counter would make the game feel a bit more lively.

Spells and slimes by namnam 2018-12-05T17:07:48Z ♥ 1

This is amazing! Replayability aspect is huge, you keep discovering new words but have to strategize on your next run to not sacrifice any much-needed letters too early Great job!

Trolley Troubles by randomphantom 2018-12-05T14:23:06Z ♥ 1

Great game but wish there was a button to fast-forward to skip through the boring parts of not killing anyone 😆

The Forgotten Four by Finn Truman 2018-12-04T19:20:20Z ♥ 1

A really neat game overall but sadly I've encountered the same crash on the draw event

Book of Crab by Andreas Roschal 2018-12-04T18:58:45Z ♥ 4

Very challenging but fun! Props for sounds design!

Retro Bat by Erick Santana Rodrigues 2018-12-04T18:54:34Z ♥ 1

Great concept, lovely visuals!

Mouse clicks didn't properly convert into taps on a Windows version, but I managed to get it working with a Wacom tablet+pen.

The Astonishing Airscapade of Sir Bittergloom by Yuri Yakovlev 2018-12-04T18:42:53Z ♥ 3

I love the concept and the visuals are stunning! Will never give up my Edgar Allan Poe bust though ;p

Peculiar Adventures of Dorothy Hops by detectiveLosos 2018-04-26T13:39:42Z ♥ 2

How did approach creating those water reflections? Is it a custom screenspace reflection shader? Looks very nice and immediately caught my attention making me die at least 5 times just looking at the water ;p Great game overall though, amazing graphics, interesting gameplay and it also feels very polished!

Think Before Escape by acoto87 2018-04-26T05:31:20Z ♥ 1

I love your take on this theme! Your game feels like a very organic combo that goes well together and makes both platformer and turn-based game into something completely different, like a new puzzle sub-genre of a kind. Good job on nailing it!

Murder in the Refuge of Retired Monsters by dock 2018-04-25T22:02:13Z ♥ 1

I like everything about this game except for the traps/platforming aspect, it just feels so forced to fit the theme. So a great game overall, but doesn't quite hit the theme for me. Amazing job nonetheless!

Super Ice-Cream Roller Ultra by Probe31 2018-04-25T19:47:34Z ♥ 3

Great and cute art, but the gameplay itself felt somewhat basic, reminded me of winter maps in Overcooked with nothing new and conceptually different added to that. I liked the music but I don't think it was a good fit for a game where you have to race against time and not fall from the platform, something more "stressful" would accompany the gameplay better in my opinion. Also, the "next level" button didn't work for me, so I assume there's only one level which is a bummer

On Thin Line by Lotus 2018-04-25T04:48:12Z ♥ 1

A very nice game, minimalistic visuals that make you concentrate on the music and gameplay. I wish the transition to the beats part was a little easier, it was difficult to hop right in and not fail that part (or maybe I'm just bad at rhythm games)

Shooter Hero by BSanchez 2018-04-24T21:55:41Z ♥ 1

Great idea, music, and visuals, gameplay is a little too difficult, especially with the current controls mapping (I'd prefer WASD or maybe QWER for hitting notes so I don't have to move my hands so closely together away from my natural position)

Orcs Must JAM! by AfroAnt 2018-04-24T04:18:04Z ♥ 2

I love the concept! Execution is great too, except it took me a bit to figure out at what point I had to press my buttons.

Court Invaders by Robber 2018-04-24T04:01:56Z ♥ 1

This game is amazing all around, but sooo difficult >_<

Zoccer by PhilStrahl 2018-04-24T03:51:51Z ♥ 1

Great work Phil! I really liked the graphics, audio and the overall atmosphere it created. The gameplay was good too, but it feels a little raw. The only way to take damage and die is if you kick the ball in some awkward place that is hard to recover, which is all on the player to mess up. I feel you should have capitalized on that and maybe create a simple second type of zombies who would be a little faster ones specifically targetting the ball (as in kicking it away from you). They could contest your control of the ball and make the game more difficult (although maybe a bit frustrating at times), but a lot more fun to play. Solid entry nonetheless!

Techno Fever by detectiveLosos 2017-12-05T16:20:57Z ♥ 2

I __absolutely__ love this! I only wish restarting would bring you back to the character selection screen so I can play as a different character next time :D

Friendly Fire by sleepystrix 2017-12-05T04:03:38Z ♥ 1

Love this submission!

A few suggestions for improvements: - A way to manually select a level you want - Make colliders at the bottom of the level taller, or make walls see-through. I've "lost" a couple units there behind the bottom wall when moving hectically and couldn't figure out why I haven't lost yet :D - Make some sort of a slider representing ratio of units on each side, so you can see who has more units left in real-time.. to spice up the local multiplayer trashtalk action ;p - Sliiiightly smarter initial formations. It is a little frustrating to lose a quarter of your units in the first second because of the way they are spawned.

But still, a very solid submission! Love it!

Greedy Dungeon by daul 2017-12-04T13:04:09Z ♥ 2

Gameplay-wise this must be one of the most fun and polished games I've played so far! Good job!

Ludum Dart by kbjwes77 2017-12-04T05:01:30Z ♥ 1

Simple concept but great execution! Love the sound effects and the overall art style!

Rogue-Light by SilvervaleGames 2017-12-04T04:48:22Z ♥ 1

Great game! I just wish I could use WASD instead of arrows :c arrows + mouse is not the most ergonomic combo on laptops

Rebel Call by SeanNoonan 2017-12-04T04:35:34Z ♥ 2

Amazing game, although a bit too difficult

Cantrex by snick 2017-12-04T04:32:26Z ♥ 0

Seems like a fun game but a rate at which your hunger grows becomes too fast around 35 seconds mark where if a rocket kills a pig (which you don't seem to have any control of) - you lose
