Reactor Meltdown (The Simpsons) by AdamJN 2022-04-21T14:06:13Z ♥ 0

Quoting @bjornstahl > The difficulty curve was a bit steep, it should be possible for a new player to be slow and experiment with the first few panels but here if you did not know exactly what to do with ever panel as the popped up you would loose.

Exactly what I was about to write. Everything else is super-cool. Good job man!

PS: I almost lasted more than a minute my last try (if I remember correctly). Wonder what is your highscore

Dawn of the Karen by BougieBirdie 2022-04-21T13:48:49Z ♥ 1

You definitely get 5/5 for humor and mood. I also think the difficulty is quite spot on. The game got me hooked and I tried several times which is a good sign.

I have only one remark - the playable screen is actually 1.4? times bigger than what you can see. That adds a bit of randomness if an enemy will spawn off-screen and directly destroy you. In a game where you die from one hit - this is a bit tricky.

All in all, I think you guys did a great job!

Great game - I find the VFX quite good and the whole mood is properly set. It was quite hard getting used to aiming with the keyboard - mouse support is definitely something to implement for your next games (if you decide to go Top-Down again).

I respect the fact that you are an one-man-army so I boosted my scores a bit :)

The Cold Night by Steffo 2022-04-21T13:23:19Z ♥ 1

I agree with the others - this was a nice take on the theme. Maybe the powerups could be a bit more visible and I would have liked the snowman spawns to be a bit more balanced to have a learning curve (just like in Icy Tower - you don't go to the fastest stage in the first 20 seconds).

Apart from that - I really liked the aesthetics and the mood - good job! GOOD LUCK!

[HTML5/WebGL] Be the Inevitable by leorid 2022-04-21T13:13:43Z ♥ 0

I enjoyed the game and all the weapons had their own flavor. The shotgun was really impactful and satisfying - good job.

I am not 100% sure I like the twist that I was the inevitable but I have not played any other LDJ50 game that has this twist so it was Unique, at least for me :)

GOOD LUCK!

MegaSpiker by Copito 2022-04-21T13:02:18Z ♥ 1

I really liked the intense feeling of being chased and I tried strafing as much as possible 😅 I respect the fact that you've implemented this without too much engine code - it is quite impressive - also navmeshes are hard, man.

I think it fits the theme perfectly. I probably would want to have an indicator how far away are the monsters behind me and adding a little ambient sound (royalty-free) would really spice things up and make the game much more intense.

Good job!

Super Mowser Bros by Guilloteam 2022-04-21T12:44:15Z ♥ 1

I think this is one of the most polished games in terms of UI/Graphics and I really liked the concept.

Only drawback - as others stated - the original version is quite easy and practically you can survive for eternity which, unfortunately, conflicts with the theme.

Good LUCK!

Dads don't die by kremlebot 2022-04-21T09:06:45Z ♥ 2

Super polished and overall an amazing experience! I see a lot of work done here and you've managed to deliver an emotional piece of art. I only wished to be able to play the chess for a bit more 😅

Great job guys!

To Build A Fire by ugly_robot 2022-04-20T21:25:16Z ♥ 1

Interesting concept - haven't played a lot of games from the genre and I think there are not a lot so I find it innovative! Yes, it is weird and wonky but it kind of feels right. Big ups for the effort, such a gem.

Chasin' Dreams by AnimalX 2022-04-20T21:16:58Z ♥ 0

I liked the concept and the game kept me interested. Some of the collisions need fixing but that is normal for Game Jam games. I like that it fits the theme and the spawn of coins seems fair. I was able to last around 4 minutes, maybe the developers can share their highscore 😅

Culmination by Arsen 2022-04-20T20:25:14Z ♥ 1

I like the atmosphere - didn't think it will get that spooky for a top-down game 😅 The screen flash was a bit intense and the UI was a bit wonky but I overall enjoyed the experience. Nice take on the theme, as well - I thought I escaped but actually ... (no I won't spoil the games for others 😆 )

Overall, a solid jam entry!

Aster Defense by emrod 2022-04-20T20:09:52Z ♥ 4

I really liked the concept and I find the game to be an interesting take on Tower Defense. As others stated - you should work a bit on balancing and continuously raising the difficulty. It seems most players survive forever on their second try which, unfortunately, conflicts with the theme.

Nevertheless, I like the visuals and the ambiance. This asteroids destruction echo is spot on - super satisfying!

Hymenoptera King by Skleembof 2022-04-20T19:48:35Z ♥ 1

I was super surprised to see so many systems integrated into the game! I like the atmosphere and the world you've built. Sometimes a lot of hornets decide randomly to land and I can insta-lose even with only 2 WEIGHT 😅 I would have also liked if I start with zero weight and I am kind of able to see what makes the weight go up because sometimes it was a bit unclear - maybe a warning sign can be added at the places where you currently need to take action. Anyways, for a one-man-army this submition is super impressive :)

Leaf the Ghost behind by BiOs3008 2022-04-20T13:59:51Z ♥ 2

Overall a cute game and kind of reminded me of Icy Tower in terms of music and visuals 😅

A few notes though Given my experience in making 2.5D platformers (around 2 years), I can say there are some problems: - You should not slow down the character on landing - this breaks the flow (especially when someone is chasing you). Think of Sonic or Ori or any other successful platformer out there - You should spend a lot of time working on collisions - extend a bit the collision of each platform so the player can jump even after leaving the platform by a few pixels. This helps the player feel more skilled/accomplished

The thing that chases you should have a well-defined shape to know when exactly it will get you. Your big sprite was a bit misleading. Afterwards, I found out that it does not matter - the only thing that matters was the time, which made it quite okay.

Nevertheless, I think your game is finished, well polishe, and has good art. I enjoyed playing it :)

Don`t Sleep by Plepletier 2022-04-20T13:44:22Z ♥ 1

Super cool game - very polished as well. I liked the core theme and idea - it is really hard to stay awake in some of them corporate meetings 😅

I kind of wanted to have a bit more time before getting infested with sheep - maybe it can be a bit more balanced so you get the chance to play a bit more and build a bit more before dying.

All in all, I think your team did a great job! 👏

Anya's Valley by nardandas 2022-04-07T22:49:20Z ♥ 1

A cute-looking game. Even though I am not super big on these types of games and it took me some tries to understand what I have to do and how the interactions work - I had a fun time playing. Keep up the good work ✌️

The Scraps of Victory by Donitz 2022-04-07T22:23:54Z ♥ 1

Super cute game. I don't have any negative feedback, really :)

The Ultimate Martian Roulette by HaaYaargh 2022-04-07T22:12:10Z ♥ 4

I totally lost it when the guy in front of me shot himself and started glitching on the floor rolling in a sitting position endlessly. A solid entry for this LDJ!

HANG UP! by Jesse J. Jones 2022-04-07T22:01:31Z ♥ 3

I like the aesthetics and the humor. I think you guys did an amazing job. I would have liked if there were some booster to get you out of the danger zone one or two times before you actually fail. Nevertheless, a solid entry for this LDJ :)

The Inevitable Dominion by Kupnu4 2022-04-07T21:26:18Z ♥ 2

I really dig the art style and the atmosphere. As previous reviewers stated - I haven't played a game where I feel so stressed but I only have to press one button - was a super cool experience. I would have liked to have some boosters to be able to bypass one or two times the most intense moments when the random generator spawns too much enemies at once. Anyways - this is just a game jam and the game is solid the way it is ✌️ Keep up the good work!

Erefos by exopunk 2022-04-07T20:48:12Z ♥ 4

Obviously a very polished and awesome-looking game. The mood and graphics were spot-on. The only lacking elements to me are **innovation** and **theme**. I would have liked it much more if the game was unbeatable and procedurally generated. That would have been a solid 5. Nevertheless - super solid entry! Keep up the good work and I wish all the best to your studio guys!

Super Goat Life by Olivier argentieri 2019-10-11T10:43:51Z ♥ 3

Really enjoyed the graphics :) Like others said, maybe it should have been more fast paced and maybe the puzzles had to be more innovative but in any case, very well polished game. Keep the good work

HEI$T by pataya 2019-10-10T15:07:53Z ♥ 2

Like the others said - very well polished game. I really like the cartoonish graphics and there is a lot of fun robbing the bank. The first several times I really laughed hard ^^ The only problem I have is that it does not fit the theme well enough. Awesome game though!
