LD47 — Stuck in a loop

Mudcar Sprint by Tutti Ankka 2020-10-07T03:04:36Z

The game is fun and the movement feels solid. It fits the theme really well because its a never ending loop, but I can't help but feel a little bit overwhelmed by the repetitiveness. I understand and appreciate that it's by design, but I think having different car models and slight changes to the level as the game progresses (such as sky changing color or something lke that) would have elevated the game a bit.

Awesome Ludum Boat Race by mvasko2 2020-10-07T03:06:50Z

I'm impressed with the physics in this game, each paddle controls individually and affects the boat in its own way. Pressing the keys really fast was a little bit tiring but it's a very interesting way to control the boat. I like the graphics and the paddle movements.

Trouble in the Loop by DMac 2020-10-07T03:05:25Z

The concept of bowling balls competing to steal eachother's ice cream is great and made me smile. I like the aesthetics of the ball, the movement is good but perhaps it would have been better if there was a bit more of a feeling of weight to the ball. I played for a while but there didn't seem to be any way to actually finish the game, which is fine since it fits the theme.

Freight Frenzy by block97 2020-10-06T00:19:10Z

This game was a great game! I like the mechanics a ton. The middle piece mechanic adds a whole new level. I would change the font because I miss-read some of the numbers and letters which would mess up my game-play. Over all great concept and fun to play!

Stardancer by lekiy 2020-10-05T21:45:53Z

This game was very fun! I like how you used the theme as a pun. As for critique, the walls were a bit trippy when spawing on the other side. However, I enjoyed this game a ton. For additions if you continue the game you could add monsters or bigger items to loop around. Great work!

Unscripted by Iluvatar 2020-10-05T21:36:07Z

This game was very fun to play! I loved the art work and the atmosphere. You had a very strong tone for the game. I really enjoyed the writing for the robot characters as well. They each had personalities despite being robots. A few critiques I have are 1. The inventory is kind of hard to find. 2. The power button color makes it difficult to see. 3. The movement was whacky/cluncky at times. Things I noticed was you can move forward while clicking the air. You also cannot put items back in the inventory. This game was also challenging and does not hold the players hand. I enjoyed having to figure out stuff with out being told. Overall great game.

Oplo by Harry Alissavakis 2020-10-07T21:43:25Z

I loved the graphics and the going around the stage mechanic as really cool. Potion bottles were super cute. Keep up the great work!

Inbreak by lamonfly 2020-10-07T03:06:12Z

Excellent game. I love how you control the bricks instead of the ball, the rotation is smooth and responsive, the visuals are really nice, i especially like the effect the ball has when it's moving. Having to destroy an entire circle of bricks before new ones spawn is a good way of adding structure to the game. One thing that would make it even better would be if the difficulty gradually increased, maybe the ball gets faster or obstacles start appearing. Overall very good game.

TALLY MARKS by de3sol 2020-10-06T02:32:06Z

The Art is awesome and I love the 3D pan around with the arrows. Overall I feel like more direction was needed to know what to do. Characters were also nice. Keep it up!

Hyper Racer by X_Pilot 2020-10-07T19:55:53Z

I loved your game! The graphics are pretty and the music is super fun to listen to! The advanced track was also very clever! I would highly recommend working on the UI. Maybe you can go with a tech type theme to match the environmental art. Great work!

Tower Lord: Sword Loop Saga by hexkritor 2020-10-07T19:22:59Z

I loved the concept of this game! The Animations and art are beautiful! The music was also very groovy. Maybe adding more abilities if you work on the game in the future! Also maybe more enemy variation as you work your way up to the boss. Nice work!

Paper Hell by Lexyvil 2020-10-06T02:08:03Z

I loved the humor in these questions and the music was very grovvy. Maybe show an indicator of how to win? Other than that it was fun!

Need More Space by wheatleyscience 2020-10-07T21:23:43Z

This game was fun, cool mechanic with the hot and cold side of the planet. Those lucky things destroyed me.

Spirit Journey by theStoff 2020-10-06T01:55:13Z

This game was beautiful! The graphics were absolutely breath taking. The stone statue mechanic was incredibly clever. The level design was also done well. The music matched well with the visuals and fit the atmosphere nicely.The only critique I have is a button to reset the statues.

HONK II by Tricky_Fat_Cat 2020-10-07T20:37:00Z

This game was hella fun! I loved every moment of it. A few bugs worth mentioning are the shader error like you noticed and the UI error. However the "juice" in the game makes it feel epic to play. This game has been one of my top 5's from the game jam thus far. Keep up the great work! I will def be playing the game in my free time :)

Divine Drifter by Enzar17 2020-10-07T22:41:39Z

This game is so much fun. Honestly its very funny to. The idea of driving badly to score points is hilarious. Keep up the great work I hope you guys continue to work on this game.

Paper Planes by SamDemaine 2020-10-06T00:01:16Z

This game was very fun! I loved the simplistic graphics they worked well. This game was also extremely challenging adding to the fun. A few things I would add is a score borad/high score and some music while playing. Over all great game!

The Ice Man Loopeth by Ramble House Games 2020-10-06T02:17:52Z

I had fun collecting ice. The little particle effects on the ice were nice to look at. The voice line/actor did a good job and was funny. Overall I feel like having a win condition would have helped a lot. Great work.

Infinite Rainbow Tower Smash! by madbookstudios 2020-10-07T03:02:38Z

This game was so fun to play. The first thing that caught my eye was how cool it felt to use the drill and the smash mechanics, especially when you destroy enemies with them. I really liked the overall atmosphere and feel of the game, the music and sounds were great however it would have been nice to have an option to lower the volume of the sound effects. I like that getting a high score isn't necessary to complete the actual game, but if the player chooses, they can attempt to get one.

League of Ultranormal Detectives by Ghuyajil 2020-10-07T22:06:10Z

So far off to a good start! I love the voice acting and music. Taking pictures is fun. Overall I would add more to the atmosphere for more engaging gameplay!

Ouroboros by JoeDev 2020-10-07T21:31:52Z

Great Game! Your concept was original and well made.

Fleder Flopin by Diefleder 2020-10-05T23:34:24Z

I had a ton of fun playing your game! The music was super duper groovy and fun to jam out too. Getting hit back was pretty funny and really punished you if you messed up. Overall I would have liked to see a bit more story implemented. I like your main character but I wish I knew more about why he was in this super tech looking world.

The Facility by Feiko 2020-10-06T00:58:57Z

This game was fun to play. I enjoyed the shift mechanic it was a ton of fun. The riddles were very challenging for me personally however once I figured it out it was great. The art was pretty cool. The creature design and boss design was very original. The character seems like a character I have seen before. Also the reload graphic was hard to see in the dark. I did like the cooldown mechanic as well. Keep up the great work!

Pollution by Athryell 2020-10-07T03:01:20Z

Interesting idea, the controls feel smooth and responsive. The gameplay is challenging especially when we take into count the chain combo and how it affects difficulty and rewards (higher risk gives you higher rewards). I like the sprite designs but I would have liked to see a bit more variation with the enemies. The UI is clean, what I think would improve it is if the score text has its own dedicated area that way it's easier to see.

Möbi's Trip by Jack LeFevre 2020-10-05T22:46:04Z

This game was really fun! I loved that you could execute some of the levels in multiple ways! The leader board does a wonderful job giving the game replay value. The sound effects of the slime are very entertaining and the movement feels great. Good job, I have no complaints, I only ask that you continue to work on this game because I think it has great potential.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-04T23:42:02Z

@super-game-developer Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed our game.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-06T02:39:34Z

Thank you! Paper2D was used yes @diefleder

Great feedback thank you! @robowarrior1982

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-07T23:24:59Z

@verso Thank you so much! I thought so too playing mini games over and over was fun!

For sure! We had it RNG the mini games but for some reason RNG likes to run some games over and over x,D

Thank you yes we were going to add cheese and meat to Midnight Snack but we didn't have time.

Yea the whole having a day system and continuing to move through days would be super epic. We had thought about that.

Thank you so much your feedback was wonderful.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-07T23:25:29Z

Thank you for your feedback! I will keep this in mind for the future @tricky-fat-cat

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-08T00:07:43Z

@nailuj29-gaming Hello! Thank you. I thought of Amoung as well when I was working on the art xD.

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-08T00:08:44Z

@aless Thank you for your feedback and thanks for playing!

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-08T00:09:34Z

@uncle-rip The toothbrush should slide in at the end to get the toothpaste. And We never had time coding wise to add the meet and cheese so we had to go with a bread sandwitch x,D Thanks for the feedback!

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-08T17:23:26Z

I agree, also thank you! @dablob

Eat, Sleep, Repeat by Syafire 2020-10-10T23:20:39Z

Thank you both! @ericbolseiro @thygrrr

Cycle Breakdown by TheJohnyFeeD 2020-10-07T20:58:03Z

This game was phenominal. I enjoyed the aesthetic and the loop theme was put into the game in a very clever way without being to obvious. Keep it up!

Dental Recviem | That's Always Happening by Usenrame 2020-10-06T01:06:40Z

Overall great graphics and I loved the sound! Not a huge fan of the gameplay (only cause I'm not a fan of violence) however, your following a meme was pretty clever. Keep up the great work!

Lonely Blob by SinusQuell 2020-10-07T03:03:32Z

The main character looks really cute and I love the glowing effects on the character, keys and trophies. I would have loved to see a jumping/falling animation because the flat bottom design of the character becomes more apparent in the air. I liked the music and the level design. I also enjoyed the funny messages scattered through the level. Good game!

Slime Panic by AlariannGames 2020-10-05T23:09:16Z

Slime Panic was a very fun game! I think your team has hit the theme the best out of the games I have played so far. Keep up the great work! I loved the mechanics of speeding up with each level as well. The monster noises were great, and I also loved how you had the other students trapped in the slime, along with other objects. If I were to add anything I would say add a leader board to increase replay value. Keep it up!

Death Day by Nekopi 2020-10-07T23:12:46Z

The graphics on this game are georgeous! I liked how you had multiple ways to get water. This game is also very rewarding when you find out what to do. I like how it doensnt hold your hand. The environmental art also supports the mechanics very well. Great work!

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

Strata by Skyeward 2022-04-05T18:32:29Z

Hello Buried and Nirufa,

Loved this game, probably my favorite so far out of about 20 games I've played. The graphics were super clean and easy on the eyes. The falling rune concept is really neat. I liked how there is a good use/purpose for every mechanic in the game as well.

The only critique or thing you could consider but is not necessary is making it more clear where the objective tiles are. It is not needed but maybe something to experiment with visually?

Thanks for making such a great game :D

Udder Chaos by lekiy 2022-04-05T17:05:12Z

Hello Lekiy and the team,

This game was super fun. Loved how simple the concept was and how the progression is increasingly getting harder as well with different types of ships and more than 1 ship. The art was really cute and aesthetic, however I had a hard time understand that the hay was hay. This led to me not collecting it and getting energy on the first run of the game.

Loved the audio/moos and spaceship noises. Lastly, having a restart would have been nice as well.

Great work :D

Catronaut by fatPenguin 2022-04-05T18:55:42Z

Hello Angi and Team,

The aesthetic of the game was really nice. I loved the little editions of the cat pictures and drawing as well too, it helped create little moments of joy. The oxygen/flying mechanic is fun but hard to understand how to use the mechanic efficiently. I think that having a tool tip or a tutorial level to help show the player how to best utilize the mechanic would be extremely helpful.

Great game and keep up the good work :D

SUPER 2 Late by ilikescifi 2022-04-04T21:04:30Z

Hello There! I loved the art style of your game, very beautiful and the perspective was super unique. I have not seen a perspective like this before.

Overall the game was nice to look at and the mood was absolutely 10/10. I was not a fan of the movement, it felt very janky and I even got stuck at the bottom of the screen at one point and had to restart. I also do not like the sliding with the mouse to left and right, it does not feel great to play.

I loved the sound design for collecting and placing the packages into the ship. I also think the ship could have a bit of a more clear indicator of where it is. It took me a second to find where I had to put the parts in, I think art wise you could do something to help indicate that right off the bat.

I also wish there was an ending sequence for not winning instead of just cutting to the menu. Great little addition with the cars honking when you get in front of them, that made me laugh, +1 for humor.

Overall great work you should be very proud :D Looking forward to seeing more games from you.

Diamond in the Rough by ProdigalSon 2022-04-11T20:14:46Z

Hello Drums,

Thanks for hanging out with us in stream. First off, I loved the graphics in this game really well done and fit the theme you were going for. I think that there could be improvement in the UI. I was not a huge fan of the font, I really don't think the font supported the style that the game was in. Also the light blue color I am not sure about as well, maybe sticking to the warm color palette would have helped a bit stylistically.

The overall gameplay was really fun but I feel like something was missing. Maybe having an enemy on top of filling up the pots with sand. Super solid and well polished for the jam. Great work :D

Taoreta Mura by farzher 2022-04-04T22:58:14Z

Hello Farzher,

Amazing work on your game! I loved it. It was a ton of fun to play, and I actually kept playing because of how fun it was. The overall mood and aesthetic was nice, and the whole game fit the theme nicely. This is another one of my favorite jam games I have played so far.

The last thing I would recommend is adding the high score/time alive incentive somewhere so the player will be able to see how good their best score was. This will help even more with incentive to keep playing.

Keep up the good work :D

Farm Dog by Trypants 2022-04-11T23:54:12Z

Hello LameBoy,

Thanks for stopping by stream and sharing your game. Loved the art/voxel look. Also enjoyed the western theme. This game was super duper fun. Some feedback I would give is making the health bar and upgrade UI bigger, its a bit small and hard to read and it is pretty important for the player to see/one of the most crucial parts of the game. Also I think there would be a great benefit from making it more obvious when you get hit, its hard to know when you are being damaged. Also some of the borders were not the same size/squashed so watch that as well. Overall great game!

My Dream Cafe by zaza 2022-04-05T00:26:50Z

Hello,

This game overall was really pretty and I liked the music.

There are a lot of things I would change though. 1. the menu + holding scroll wheel was a bit much for the menu/ I think it could have been easier to use. I did not understand that I had to use the menu to see how to complete certain recipes until like 5 minutes into the game. Also Money on the main screen would be nice because having to go back in the menu to see the money was frustrating.

I lived the mood and vibe of this game, and the humor with the combo of drinks and recipes was a nice touch.

good work all around but just some user experience things I think that would greatly benefit the game :D

My Dream Cafe by zaza 2022-04-05T03:11:33Z

Amazing to hear, thanks for watching stream :D @zaza

No Time To Leave by Attala 2022-04-05T19:26:56Z

Hello Attala,

The aesthetic and concept for the game was a really interesting and eerie vibe that I did enjoy. Great job with the sound effects and overall atmosphere of the game. I also liked the robot designs a lot. I think what could have been helpful is more clearer directions on where to go and what to do. Other than that, great work :D

Deck And Decay by ThorPalsson 2022-04-05T21:21:06Z

Thor, Matiz, Anchry, and team,

The concept of cards vs zombies was an innovative one. I enjoyed the idea. Graphics were kind of a mixed bag. It seemed a but inconsistent/no unity. I don't mind the troll graphics but if they are gonna be troll make it all like that to create harmony.

I found it hard to create a strategy around my cards because I was not fully sure of their capabilities. This made it a struggle for the game to be fun.

Overall, cool concept but I think it could be executed better.

Overtime by Monado 2022-04-04T22:14:35Z

Hello There,

I loved the graphics in this game and the title screen art was beautiful! The little upgrades through out the map were nice as well. The music had very high energy as well which made it go nicely with the theme. The multiple enemy designs were great as well.

Overall, the game play felt a little stale for me. I loved the mood and aesthetic but I felt like there is something missing that makes me want to keep playing.

Amazing work, thanks for letting me play your game :D

Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-14T01:08:14Z

This game is too good. Game of the year please <3

Populus Romanus by Bauke Regnerus 2022-04-04T21:44:18Z

Hello There,

I love the art for this game, the UI is also very nice. I was pretty confused on what to do and what the point of the game was. Maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge on these types of structures and how they work. Not quite sure what I was doing.

The mood of the game was really nice though and I think that the way you went about the theme was clever as well. great work :D

Populus Romanus by Bauke Regnerus 2022-04-04T23:00:31Z

Awesome, thanks for adding that :D it will help a ton @bauke-regnerus

Re: Placement by Outfrost 2022-04-14T01:35:12Z

Hello Outfrost,

Loved the puzzles super fun and really pulled me in. I think something to consider is having a more top down view of the panel to better understand and fit the parts. Great game :D

Cards of Life by TheMiSta92 2022-04-04T23:47:15Z

Hello There,

I loved this game, one of my favorites so far in the jam. The art was breath taking and the story was a lot of fun. I played this game on stream with my community allowing them to vote with me. If you are turning this into a long term project, I think introducing a party game concept would be a great idea, or even integrating something like twitch into it. Maybe even people voting from their mobile devices.

The thing I think you could work on/add is music and sound design to amplify the gameplay. Also maybe a bit more attention to background art/detail.

This game was fun, fit the theme great and has humor as well. Amazing work all around.

Just Another Zombie Game by gabas 2022-04-04T23:09:54Z

Hey There! I tried to play your game but the drive is empty. Let me know when its fixed so I can play :D

Keep It Steaming by Jvdwijk 2022-04-11T22:40:18Z

Hello Milky,

Thanks for sharing your game with me! I love the graphics really pretty and the mini games were fun. Things I would fix is adding some sort of UI or help to show the player what they are supposed to do for each mini-game. Maybe even using audio with a reward type sound so I know I completed the mini-game successfully. The audio made it a bit confusing, I understand it was a bit humorous but it made me confused wondering if I did actually fix the thing when he said "is this fixed?" So again maybe just looking into some cleaner communication. Overall great game :D

We Need To Talk by Doot 2022-04-05T18:07:57Z

Hello Dodoot and Dodidodo,

I loved the overall aesthetic and art in this game. You did an amazing job with the special effects and feel over the gameplay. The concept of a fighting type card game was very unique as well. The theme implementation was also very well done and I have not really seen anything like it.

Something I would have liked is to get more involved with the story/what the actual cards were saying. I didn't really have time to read the card because I was focusing on the combos.

Yall did a fantastic job thank you for participating in the jam :D I look forward to seeing more games of yours in the future!

Crunch by Neisha 2022-04-04T22:03:48Z

Hello There!

I liked the aesthetic of your game. The isometric art was very nice. I think the UI in the beginning could have been played out better for player experience/readability.

Playing into the idea of crunch and workaholism was really nice and relatable as I know so many game devs have experienced this before. Great theme idea.

I was confused while playing, I am not quite sure why or how actions were helping or making things worse for my main character. It was difficult to understand how to play and the point of playing.

I like the art again and theme, super nice job! Great work on your game. I also looked at your studio website and your games look really great. Good luck with your first mobile game release. You got this!

Highrail to hell by BadPiggy 2022-04-05T17:54:27Z

Hello Piggy,

Overall this game was super fun to play. It felt really rewarding to learn about different ways you can attack and be involved in the combat with the zombies. The combat was my favorite part of this game. Great work explaining the controls and having simple objectives as well.

The one thing I would fix that I did not like was the controls. It was pretty difficult to remember and go back and forth between c, space bar, x.

Amazing game all through out, thanks for making it :D

Hearts Ablaze by Jon Topielski 2022-04-05T21:32:31Z

Hello Aphons and team,

All around this game was awesome! Loved the feeling and western aesthetic. The sound design specifically was very nice. The only thing I had to doc points on was the innovation. I've seent his game concept done quite a lot in game jams so it's not super original.

Other than that, great work :D

Cyber Skater by Syafire 2022-04-04T21:18:18Z

SHUT THAT HOLE by ilya096 2022-04-05T20:45:24Z

Ilya & Team,

This game was an interesting concept however it felt a bit repetitive and I was not having too much fun. I think that a mix in mechanics even slightly with the board vs giving out rum would have helped increase the fun in playing. Also again there really was no reward system for the player making it hard to want to continue playing. Congrats on your first playable game for a game jam, that is a huge win and you should be super proud :D great work!

Super Mowser Bros by Guilloteam 2022-04-11T23:22:44Z

Hello J_revel,

Thanks for hanging out on stream and sharing your game! I loved the play off of Mario and the art is super pretty and well done. The concept for the game was really nice as well. The hardest part was knowing what I was supposed to be doing. Even after reading the written tutorial it still was not enough to introduce me to the mechanics of the game. I think the UI maybe could have helped explain this a bit better as well.

Also the arrows moving side to side were in the way of the beginning building circles on each new level. I think maybe a walk through/play along for the tutorial would have been better then a written tutorial or sort of a combo of written and showing what's happening and how its being done. I think this could really clear up the communication to the player.

Overall cool game idea, great art just some communication /user experience would help a lot with giving the player the tools they need to succeed.

Somnipathy by Cyzaine 2022-04-13T23:19:39Z

Hello Mink and team,

Love your game super fun and the art is beautiful. The music also fit well. I think some sound effects would have helped being attached to some of the creatures. Also the UI was a bit tough to read sometimes. For example I didn't even realize I had an alert bar until like 5 minutes into the game. Tool tips might help as well to know what the goal is in the game. Really great and had a lot of fun overall.

Healer's Handbook by javi7 2022-04-14T01:57:56Z

Hello Chris and team,

Really cool original idea and the sound effects were really nice to listen to on top of the gameplay. I also loved the concept of healer healing those who will inevitably die. Really clever game. The critique I have is The UI black box seems a bit close/ crowded next to the spell book and doesn't relly stick out as UI/ seems a but bit blended with the game.

Lastly, the 3rd option where you choose the "strength" it was not super clear on what it was. It might have been in the tutorial and I may have missed it.

Cool game over all, really enjoyed my play through :D

Fly dreamer by Aleh 2022-04-04T21:15:17Z

Hello there, I really enjoyed the concept for your game with the balloon and the physics were really cool because it can create a challenging "delay the inevitable" type gameplay.

I was really confused with the controls and was not sure what the extra menus were for. I also moved the slider down and my balloon would infinitely go down and not back up. Overall a lack of understanding on what to do in this game. I liked the balloon art but environment was lacking.

I loved the music in this game very nice to listen to while playing.

Keep up the great work you completed a game! Proud of you. My biggest feedback is being a bit more clear with direction so the player can get through the game.

Arboressence by Aspect Studio 2022-04-04T23:16:59Z

Hello,

Loved the art in your game and the icons. Beautiful work! The concept was cool and I like the different mechanics implemented. I feel like there could have been more involved in the game, just felt a little stale after a while. Like maybe more rewards for the player as well. You keep the enemies off of the house, however I don't feel a sense of accomplishment or reward which makes it hard to want to keep playing.

Overall mood and aesthetic was super nice though 10/10 great work.

Protocol Delta by itsBoats 2022-04-11T23:34:13Z

Hello Boats,

Loved your game simple and fun. The wizard art/icons were really cool and designed nicely. The movement felt pretty good but I was not a huge fan of the delay that happens when you are close to the enemies. I think that the delay interrupts the flow of the game. The feedback when getting hit and sound is nice but that blip in the movement breaks my immersion as a player. Really fun game looking forward to more in the future!

D-Lay Guetta Party Hard by Turtle Games 2022-04-05T17:20:09Z

Hello Teddy,

I loved this game so much! It was very fun. The "Hypometer" such a funny name and very modern. I also loved how there were goblins dancing with the humans as if we live in a time where goblins now are dancing with humans. LETSSS GOO.

Great game, my biggest critique would be the UI design/typography. It was a little hard to read/ not aesthetically pleasing. It did not take away too much from the experience but it could have been better/cleaner and easier to read.

Amazing work thanks for sharing :D

Giraffe o'Clock by Kepsert 2022-04-14T00:46:49Z

Hello Kepsert,

Amazing game! I loved the music, the gameplay was super fun and very rewarding. The only critique I have is some graphics. The text box being the same color as the bg threw me off a bit, also the boxes that you cant jump on should maybe be pushed back a bit /look separated from the main level. Over all extremely enjoyable game :D

Living the Dream by darandin 2022-04-05T00:11:15Z

Hello There,

This game was a really interesting concept. I was laughing pretty hard when I realized it costs $100 dollars to sleep. Honestly maybe this will be a reality some day xDDD

I liked the concept for this game, it went with the theme well. I really think that music was needed to make the experience a bit better. The walking sound was also a bit jarring and didn't really feel like walking. Lastly, maybe some UI to show everything you can do on the map. Like Mining and how much it gives you.

Overall, great game thanks for making it. I enjoyed it :D

Plague Fail by Dogez 2022-04-13T23:38:59Z

Hello,

This was a cool concept for a game but after I collected the plants I was stuck and could not progress in the game. Also the jump and attack with the sickle seemed kind of useless/wasn't sure what it was for. Cool concept but def needs work on execution.

Airborne Retribution: Legacy: Revelations of Invasion: the Return 4 Deluxe: Gold by Eli Peters 2022-04-11T22:18:51Z

Hello,

I liked the game overall I had fun. The few things I would recommend changing is 1. The shadow of the plane messed me up a lot where I thought I was the shadow after gazing around the map then looking 2. The fire on the map made me think that I could not go in that area 3. I feel like the graphics for the time/fire/collectable elements could have represented that specific thing better.

Cool game but def some things that can make it better.

Live, Flame, Live! by SayuriNyooko 2022-04-04T21:32:12Z

Hello There,

I really loved the fact that this game doesn't really have a full purpose but is still enjoyable to play. I think a lot of people think that when you create a game, that is has to have a full purpose or an end goal. This game does a really great job standing against the status quo and what you expect a game to be. It was eerie but peaceful creating a very strong mood.

One thing that may be helpful or maybe useless to you is, I am a streamer/Virtual YouTuber. I use a model and when streaming with my model and running the game, my model was lagging. I have only had this happen with big games like Apex Legends but most of the time it does not. So you might want to look into fps/ performance in future games.

The music and sound effects were nice and worked well with the game. I love the written text and credits as well to everyone on the team. Very good work making a fun game that fits the theme.

Timeless by shmador 2022-04-12T00:14:12Z

Hello Shmador,

This game was incredibly fun. Loved the animation and simple art style as well. The level design was great and felt very rewarding to play through. The freeze/time mechanic is very innovative. Honestly not many critiques here accept for maybe an indicator on which level you are on/how far you have gotten. Overall great game!

Last Bastion of Wizardom by Wogabi 2022-04-04T22:43:52Z

Hello Kiba,

I loved the gameplay it was very nice. The voice acting/ sounds effects fit the game and created a good sense of atmosphere as well.

A few things I would change, 1. the stair case was a cool idea but a little too much movement for me as a player/spinning creating an unpleasant movement up the tower. The art was okay, I think that more time could have been put into texture work.

Loved the idea of selling should, protecting the tower and having some upgrades. Amazing work :D

plant. by badcop 2022-04-05T19:52:27Z

Badcop,

I liked the colors and vibes of the game, the foliage was well done too. I also liked the peaceful music/birds in the background, it helped create a nice sense of atmosphere.

I was a bit confused on which branches to cut. Maybe some type of UI would help. Also the water was not coming out directly from the watering can but I know you already know that/maybe looking into fixing that with resolution.

The Game concept was a good one that fit with the theme nicely. Great work :D

Mr. Second by Marvis 2022-04-11T22:05:07Z

Hello Marvis,

The first thing I noticed about this game while playing is the animation. The main characters movement and animation is beautifully done. I love the font and design of the game. This game was addictive and frustrating. For some reason I failed like 30 times at level 3. I think if you wanted to turn this into a game to sell which I think you should, maybe having some more tutorial levels to see how you can best utilize your characters rewind mechanic. Other than that super cool game!

Wrong Road by Denjil 2022-04-05T21:00:10Z

Hello Denji and team,

Loved the graphics in this game, the little Christmas tree was cute and the cut scene was really nice. The UI on the menu I think could have been better. It didn't feel like I was clicking the button when I hit start I think that's because it too so long.

I was pretty confused on what to do and the driving made me a bit dizzy with the rails passing which also made it kind of difficult to play/find enjoyable.

Nice work on your game, the strongest assets were the art and animation. Keep it up :D

Growing up by FancyPrice 2022-04-11T21:19:44Z

Hello,

This game is a really cool idea. I know there are a few people my team too who thought about making a game relating to the inevitability of growing up. It's an extremely relatable and emotional game about how humans often feel as they grow older. Less control over the world and a duller view point on what was once so meaningful or colorful to them. The music supported the emotions very well and the art was beautiful.

A few changes I would make is 1. I ran into a chair glitch and had to restart the game. When you push the chair into the wall it gets stuck if you don't go behind it and push it towards the cookies right away. I did not like that you always said "it is inevitable" I think it's pretty clear that aging is inevitable and the player does not need to be told. I think it's a bit jarring and actually less effective by saying it over and over again. Also I was confused at the white room part. I thought it was a glitch or an invisible maze type thing. I'm not sure if this was intentional for the story but maybe making it a bit more clear to keep walking to the right.

Overall very impactful game emotionally and def one of the coolest/most innovative games that I have played this jam.

leaky robotic arm by inert_aesthetic 2022-04-05T20:30:22Z

Hello Aesthetic,

The concept for this game was really neat. Very cool how you took inspiration off of the video you posted. It's so important to be consistently innovating and pushing the bounds of what games can be and I love this concept I think it does that well.

The hardest part about this game for me is the controls, I know it was meant for controller as you mentioned but it's very important to make sure it feels good every way it can be played. Also I think maybe more reward/challenges or incentives might have been nice.

Really great work overall, good job :D

IRS: Infinite Record Sorter by Bogden 2022-04-05T20:15:32Z

Bog,

Loved the concept for this game. The humor was 10/10 really funny and enjoyable. The mechanics were also challenging enough to make the gameplay lots of fun.

The thing I would challenge you to do is sound for more parts in the game. I know you mentioned it would be hard without making it sound spammy but maybe there is a solution somewhere in there?

Great work :D

Dave's Diet by ASize7Shoe 2022-04-04T21:54:18Z

Hello There,

I absolutely loved your game all around. The art is really nice, the title screen is great and made me laugh. Super clever concept regarding the theme and all around interesting idea to play as the food itself. The music was also peaceful and fits the vibe.

The one critique that I have about this game is that the movement with the food feels a bit fast and the panning is fast as well making it a little dizzy/hard to play. Overall super solid game my first 5/5 rating on everything. Great work :D

Skypost by Josh Bothun 2023-05-04T00:37:32Z

Hello Minism, Thanks for submitting your game to my stream! It was really cute and I enjoyed the floating island vibes. Great work :D Would love to see the UI bubble as a different color so it doesn't collide with the grass. The bridge was also sticking up through the grass mesh making it a bit hard to get onto right away/interupting game pace. The sound effect were very pleasent and nice to listen to. Thanks for sharing :D

Warmazon by Kaish 2023-05-03T01:31:05Z

Hello Euler, Thanks for submitting your game to my stream. I loveed the graphics super cute and great color palette. I also liked the animated mustache when the general was talking. This was super fun and very rewarding to play. It was hard but I saw my mistakes and could improve from them making this a super enjoyable game.

Two things you could do better possibly is the text from the general got missed a bit UI/UX wise and it wasn't clear to me right away the abilities I had so maybe adding clarity there some how. I also would have loved to hear varying noises when picking up the items.

Amazing game overall. Keep up the great work :D

Moonshot by Koolruz 2023-05-04T00:23:06Z

Koolruz thank you so much for sharing your game on my live stream! I had so much fun, the level design and mechanics were really well done. It was challenging but def addicting and I wanted to keep going. Great job all around :D

CUBE RUNNER by itsBoats 2023-05-03T00:45:55Z

Hey Boats! You never fail to impress me. They are awesome! Loved the intro and the graphics. The car designs are awesome along with the bits of humor added them.

The biggest thing for me was it was tough control wise and I wasn't really sure when I was using the boost so maybe adding some effects to see when I was boosting.

Otherwise great concept and beautiful game :D

Crash Courier by Ategon 2023-05-03T00:22:08Z

I loved this game I had so much fun playing it! Face paced and entertaining. Something I think could use some work for the graphics is the black gears and black UI on the red, it was hard to read/could be a lighter color or more readable.

I loved the audio and thanks for adding a leaderboard, thats always a treat! Although would have loved to see my highest leaderboard there too instead of it being overwritten.

Great work!

IGNN International Galactic News Network - Deliver The News by Adam Jenness 2023-05-04T00:00:37Z

Thinksecretly thank you so much for stopping by my stream to share your game! Congrats on your first game jam you did great. These pieces of universal facts were super creative and I really enjoyed reading them and connecting them to the news titles I should or should not have said.

I think a bit more diversity in audio would have been nice but other than that super great :D

Westwick Street by niz 2023-05-03T01:04:44Z

I loved this game! Super fun what a rush. I like that the sticks were hard to see making it challenging to avoid them but not to hard. This game had just the right amount of challenge. It was very well balanced and rewarding. Loved the note pad with pencil scratches on the title screen with the controls and extra tips. Clever! Great work :D
