Cool idea! Actually laughed out loud when the angel kicked the title screen. Really like the mood of the game. Controls felt a bit weird. Moving around was kind slow and I didn't like being stuck in a direction once I started attacking. Aliens moving out of the playable area felt a bit unfair. Overall, a great idea, but it lacks a bit of execution in my opinion. Still a really solid entry.
Vlad the Tomater is a genius name. Game is very unfinished, but did enjoy my time with it. One very weird issue is that it tried to launch SteamVR for whatever reason.
Mole? MOLE? MOOOOOOLE?
Had an absolute blast playing this. The graphics blend in perfectly with the gameplay. Audio was also really good. My tips would be to show the explosive counter on screen a bit longer and I found the workers to be pretty tough to dodge sometimes in the later levels. Really fun game, will probably play again sometime!
I like the idea of keeping bees alive by building a shelter, but I can't find myself really enjoying the game. The main reason is the fact that it is very unclear what to do. There really isn't a lot to do in the first place, as there isn't a clear objective. I just covered the bee hive and cactus with some bricks and watched my points go up as I dragged some stuff around.
I agree with the other commenters about the third axis. This game would've been better off as a 2D game.
Unique concept with the leashes, but I found moving around to be tedious. Solid entry, though.
Really like the concept of the rumors spreading. Sadly, there really isn't any gameplay besides clicking and hoping the people will take a path that allows them to spread the rumors. A lot of them where kind of stuck in a loop around a block. Cool idea, but not optimally executed.
Robot and chicken make a good duo. It's a solid entry for the compo. My feedback would be that the background music is pretty annoying and distracting. I don't really like listening to the same 3 second loop over and over again. I found it weird that you had to be completely out of ammo before you were allowed to reload, bit of a weird design choice. Post-processing effects are a bit too much in this one. The chromatic aberration was too over the top. Solid game, but with some minor flaws.
Wow, this was fun. I never knew conductors were related to Sonic the Hedgehog, because he is real fast. Controls were hard to deal with, but for some reason it felt like part of the fun. Would've liked to see shadows underneath the orbs, as it was a bit hard to see where exactly they were at times. Difference between the colors were also a bit hard to see, might be a problem for color blind people. Really good entry, had a blast playing this!
This is a nice little game with a weird but fun concept that really works with the theme. I especially love the graphics, the hand drawn style makes it really charming!
The main issue that I have is the planting trees part. It didn't really seem to matter for me, as I died by getting hit by a meteor every single time. As long as I kept moving while dodging meteors, the planet was fine.
Dying by getting hit once feels a little too punishing. Meteors that come straight from the top or bottom are a bit harder to see because of the resolution. Maybe a life bar for the cat could've worked for this game.
While I had some small issues with this game, it is addicting and a lot of fun!
Controls feel great and music is really nice. Not being able to jump while holding the egg is a nice idea. I do feel like the game is too punishing by sending you back to the first level after a death. Restarting from the same level would've been more fun, or even a level select from the main menu would've worked. Overall I find the difficulty to be on the high side, but this is again due to the fact that you get send back to the start of the game every single time.
Damn this game was intense. I felt an immediate rush when the counter started counting down. Platforming feels great, the controls are really snappy. Really like the inclusion of the fast-fall button. I would've made the player (the cube) a different color, as I lost sight of it one time when it blended in with the numbers on the background. Sending the player back to the start feels a little too punishing, consider having the player retry the same level next time. Overall, really enjoyed this entry. Good job!
I love this game! I think it would work really well as a mobile game if it had more development time.
The sound design in this game is really good. The music is nice and all the sound effects help give a good feel to the world (and the hedgehogs sound super cute!).
I think the game could use some improvement though. I would like to see an indicator for where the next car is going to be. Right now it feels kind of random, an indicator could bring some more strategy into the game. Furthermore, the hedgehogs were a bit hard to click on sometimes.
Cool game. I like the idea of controlling the guy and the virus separately. I must say that graphics surely aren't a strong point of this game. The level design is also a bit lackluster. Did have a good laugh while playing though!
