Fetch! Good boys? by DashNothing 2023-05-02T20:58:20Z

I loved the dog, and liked how the game forces you to work with the timings without stopping the jumps. The sound of the traps is somewhat too loud, and it can feel odd to hear a sudden sound at the start of a level, when it's actually a trap on the other end of the screen, which you don't care about yet. It also took an embarassing amount of time to realize that traps' hitboxes don't cover the whole block, and the edges of the block can still be jumped on even with the trap active

Kind of a shame that the dog and its head is so small though. It took screenshotting and zooming to verify that the dog fetching a trident in hell was in fact the three-headed Cerberus. To me it looked at first like it just had an elongated face like a horse, and the other heads were ears.

IT'S ALIVE by Fear Games 2023-05-02T21:13:54Z

Really liked the mood and the guitar on the main menu! (a shame it's not in the actual game too) It took me some time to understand you're meant to long press space to not lob the parts over the horizon, and where I was supposed to send them. I also did not understand what made me lose (is there a time limit?) and apparently the time limit is also active on the main menu?

I had fun kicking a package around, as well as trying to push it clunkily without kicking it to avoid breaking stuff! The box getting caught on the walls when you want it to move, combined with the long straight-line level made it rather frustrating though

Hot Wax 🕯️ by TRASEVOL_DOG 2024-04-16T17:40:16Z

This is a really nice variant on stacker games

I especially appreciated how the rotation was properly put away from the up arrow

Loved it, will play more of it later on my pico

What's the highscore? I have trouble hitting 30k hot wax 28109.png

Bail Out! by Historymaker118 2024-04-15T21:57:35Z

Great game! Was definitely fun to out-maneuver the cops on my skateboard. And dropping tactical donuts to laugh behind their backs.

I think the controls and reactivity could use some faster acceleration, although that would completely change the difficulty of the game.

theGRIMOIRE_ by 0x0961h 2024-04-16T17:30:27Z

Really loved this.

The puzzles were hard, and the atmosphere really immersive

The Evil Eye by Timur_Bahadir 2024-04-16T17:58:39Z

That got me more tense than I expected. Nice game!

Veiled Ocean: Echoes of Nautical Grief by WiredOverload 2024-04-16T16:53:07Z

A nice game.

Was especially tough trying to draw specific sigils while under enemy fire

Claws and Conundrums by LocksmithArmy 2024-04-15T21:11:07Z

The atmosphere was definitely great, and I enjoyed the format, although it was hard to make out everything in the basement because of how dark it was

Would love to see a longer version of this one day!

That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Crab Girl And Summoned Slimes To Fight For Me by bittripbrit 2024-04-16T17:33:08Z

Is it really a parody if it's better than the original?

Excuse Me... Are You Summoning Crokel? by Yossarian 2024-04-16T12:20:12Z

Loved this puzzle! took me a while to understand I could cut links, instead of restarting from the previous level every time.

Great game overall

Sumo nin': Demolition Experts by Pandalk 2024-04-16T18:05:09Z

Ok that was fun

Why isn't the sun a sumo too thouhg?

Harod: The Eternal Summoning by KPidS 2024-04-16T17:47:51Z

Stay with me Harod, we'll make it through, I promise

SUMOning - Power through Angel by Mia_143 2024-04-16T18:02:53Z

Ok That was hilarious, thank you for the game!

The Unsummoning by Abstruse 2024-04-16T17:15:56Z

Wow I absolutely loved this one

Especially how you made the main menu and the credits using the same mechanics

I think it would have been nice to see the current speed/swarm level somewhere, so see beyond the score how far I got and the difficulty where I lost

Overall absolutely great game

Midnight Cheese Quest by Archaeognathus 2024-04-16T17:08:05Z

Nice game, loved dropping blocks into holes in the wall in the nick of time to stop myself from falling.

I think it would be nice if the level design was more forgiving. There were a few places were I fell, and the way back up was complicated and made me want to give up

Summon the Intern by Speedphoenix 2024-04-15T21:47:35Z

@historymaker118 Thank you! I just published a post on lexaloffle, this is my first time doing this, is that enough to end up in splore? The cartridge id is summontheintern-0

The great goal by jaroslav2324 2024-04-16T11:33:44Z

Had trouble understanding russian, but hearing the voice sounds for the cauldron mixing was definitely a treat The game crashed at some point though, unsure what made that happen

Damned Koi by Phillip Schulze 2024-04-16T11:57:47Z

I had trouble understanding the goal of the game, but overall the it's nice seeing the fish in MY pond

And what's this hawk doing here? no wait give me my fish back!!

My First Necromancy by RhysT 2024-04-16T16:30:34Z

That was pretty fun

I Especially loved getting swarmed by enemies, but then you summon your horde and turn the tides. The feeling when you're back in control of the fight is amazing.

In terms of feel, I think you should consider adding smoothness to the player movement: make the speed accelerate quickly instead of always having a flat speed (even reaching the top speed after 0.2 seconds significantly changes the way the controls feel)

Also it took me a while to realize this was a 3d game. If that's an important aspect of your game, you could zoom in the camera and/or smoothen the camera movement and make it lag behind the player a bit

Summon Cats by tinyfinn 2024-04-16T12:01:02Z

Nice and cute, thank you for this

The Summoned Struggle: Tales of a Tag-Along Demon by MartenJ 2024-04-16T11:22:36Z

Really liked this one! Especially the back-and-forth between the underworld and the summons, that felt fresh. Also loved the flat paper graphics, though it was often hard to tell when you're aligned for ranged attacks against bosses.

FiendFinder.com by 17 confused villains 2024-04-16T11:51:44Z

Absolutely loved this one. The different texts and characters' personalities are really great! I laughed a few times

Catacomb Conquest by axhar005 2024-04-16T17:53:44Z

It's a nice game

The main issue I have is that sometimes monsters spawn onto you (or right where you're going and can't dodge), so you die. It would be nice if monsters always spawned a distance away, and if you had more than 1 hp

Some Munnings by SoBad 2024-04-16T16:40:35Z

that was fun I got to summon art pieces straight into the wall in front of me
