Virus singularity [Mega Drive] by Samuli 2025-10-16T11:42:14Z

This is actually an amazing game!

Initially I was put off by the need to find an emulator (never done this and not a fan of retro-gaming), but then I thought that is such an unusual concept that I should try it (I was also having a very boring day). It wasn't difficult at all, and it was SO MUCH WORTH IT!

Great game, aestetics, sound - so retro and so phychodelic, brilliantly executed, I like how everything escalates during the game, and in the end you just in such a rush from all effects that you can't do or see much and you just randomly pressing all buttons because there's only one virus left...

Sweet victory.

The concept is very unusual as well, collecting viruses until complete overload is not something you would do on a regular day!

Soul Harvester by gold.daniel 2025-10-07T01:35:31Z

Nice game, I liked the art and the audio (maybe the main music could be a little longer to loop better)

Zark and Jones by beardywombat 2025-10-09T22:11:13Z

sheep as enemies is such a random idea but I like it :"D

The game is nice, I liked the audio voiceovers the most :D

Autumn Apples by Cambryx 2025-10-08T21:30:02Z

This game is so positive and satysfying! I can see myself getting addicted to it if that was on mobile. The "Surprise" update is 10/10.

I just really need to know, am I the only one who was hearing the workers say "You're ok? - No sh*t"? (I couldn't stop laughing)

Trivia Hart in "The Case of the Porcelain Tricorn" by 100th_Coin 2025-10-11T23:26:13Z

I love this! The narrative is so fun. Well done with the voiceover.

I like how you break the fourth wall in the end haha And yes OF COURSE I jumped, of course you knew I will. And I knew that you knew, and I knew what I'll get but I did it anyway. Some things can't be avoided.

After that I speedrun everything to get the true ending.

Great humor, great art, really impressive for a compo game!

Salvage Dogs by James Dunlap 2025-10-07T22:15:40Z

Enemmies are too agressive for me haha or maybe I didn't get how to defeat them. I believe I was shooting but it's hard to figure out your progress without any indication if the enemy is hit and how much HP left. Interesting movement though, I like the way cars collide. Cool idea to take away pieces of car, but once you lose your wheels there's nothing else you can do really and have to watch your car being eaten by the others.

Do Not The Mushroom! by Rionisse 2025-10-07T20:43:35Z

LOVE the visual style and the idea! Mushroom effects are so much fun.

Sadly I need a better GPU to play this properly; my laptop is brand new but it has integrated GPU and it wasn't enough for the graphics, so I didn't have enough FPS in my mushroom trip.

Gas Collector by stuckne1 2025-10-12T23:20:33Z

The level looks nice, however it's a bit too big for the amount of content, and it was hard to find the stations. Still, well done on finishing this! The idea is unusual.

Relic Seekers by kayrum 2025-10-10T17:04:58Z

Oh my god that was creepy!

I tried throwing objects to distract shadows but I didn't see any effect from this. Also, I think they were a fair bit away from me but still they would get me. Maybe I didn't understand something.

Overall, the game is good with strong atmosphere and really gives you that horror feel!

(I also found out that I can't press left and right mouse button at the same time usinh touchpad lol but that's alright I found a mouse)

Dirge of the Sleeping Bell by Jiffy 2025-10-07T10:55:09Z

The sound quest is amazing, and the one with the map got me thinking (no pun intended...)

The Collector’s Due by GreenRadiation 2025-10-11T23:15:02Z

The atmosphere is absolutely amazing! I love the artstyle and music so much. The mechanic of picking pattern of the brain was unusual and very interesting too, I enjoyed it. Great work!

Eccentricity by Lefinno 2025-10-07T11:35:10Z

LOVE this! Looks great, interesting to play. Lots of fun and strategy thinking. I would play a full game of this!

Where's my money, Gnomski?!? by CaptainCorgistan 2025-10-08T20:10:23Z

What a masterpiece!!! The gnomes are sooo cute, the village is beautiful, and overall it's just such a fun and chilled game! I wish there were more hints on how to find the right gnome, I couldn't do it without the cheatcode...

BIN CHICKEN by Quackqack 2025-10-08T18:19:31Z

WHO are those people at the top of the leaderboard and WHY am I so bad at it :"D Took me a while to figure out how to collect bins, the colliders are really hard to hit! But overall, really fun and well-made game, and enjoing the mechanic of catching faling items!

Blood and Bounty by Torami 2025-10-15T18:33:35Z

That's a really nice game! It's simple, but does everything its supposed to. It has a clear basic gameplay, visual and sound design. At the moment, AI isn't very smart, but I think that can be developed into a really strong thinking-stategical game.

Some Assembly Required by LudumDareDevil 2025-10-07T20:27:27Z

Great idea and atmosphere, keeps you at the end of your seat! Slow movement kind of adds to it, but also it's just sooo slow in the beginning, especially after you died and you already know what's there and you just have to crawn through the corridor. Also an enemy pushed me behind the wall once and I was crawling thinking can that be part of the game hahaha (would be fun if it was but I guess it wasn't and I reloaded it)

Rain by T C 2025-10-09T22:47:15Z

I found the game very interesting! A simple mechanic of collecting essence goes a long way. The grandma's life-supporting machine is very curious. Good art, good atmosphere, a fair bit of intrigue on what's happened to the girl!

The leaf picker by BorodaOlen 2025-10-11T23:50:23Z

The game is very cute and relaxing. Would go great as a mobile game.

Graphics is very atmospheric. I couldn't hear any music unfortunately. I also didn't understand how to pick leaves for the herbarium - I tried clicking but nothing happened. It could be because I was playing from the touchpad. But the rest of the game was alright.

Raccoon Rumpus! by b0guslaw 2025-10-06T23:48:22Z

Love raccoons The grafics has a special vibe too

Pekko's Bottle Odyssey by An405 2025-10-11T23:20:19Z

The idea is simple, but well-executed. I love the visual style. I felt like there could be some sort of time pressure to keep things more interesting. Upgrades are fun to have, though they slightly too powerful (or maybe too cheap - I liked the gameplay, but with the powerful upgrades the game ended too quickly).

Hollow Choir by Forik 2025-10-15T23:30:43Z

Very atmospheric! I liked reading the spells - I think the gameplay matches this process well. Plus, great audio.

I can't say that I understood the ending, but let's call it philosophical one.

Lofi mode is and intersting find!

Fallen Leaves by Sceef 2025-10-10T23:39:12Z

So adorable, relaxing and cosy! Great expirience. No stress, just autimn vibe.

I enjoyed the fact that 100% bag means every single leaf. It wasn't that hard to collect them, and you made my inner perfectionist happy.

Alien Abduction by ideletemyself 2025-10-07T21:05:30Z

Enjoyed piloting the UFO! Even without score and endgame it's just fun to play. Great after a stressful day.

The soul collector by Kit Gorn 2025-10-08T19:30:01Z

THE MUSIC... I did not expect this! In a good way. Loved it.

Being thrown in the middle of enemy area without any cover was a bit too much for me, so I couldn't get through that part (though thank you for the checkpoint, at least I tried it a few times!), but also I'm not a shooter-person, so maybe that's just me.

Demon Army Soul Collector by D3kryption 2025-10-13T22:26:19Z

Fun idea! It was interesting to switch between characters. Graphics, music, voice acting is just great.

The controls are slightly buggy, a lot of time characters were blocking each other's way, or won't go where I tell them to. For whatever reason LMB/RMB actions sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. I'm assuming I couldn't hit the hitbox for the ckick. Also, often important items were obstructed by the envoronment (like walls).

Good concept, can be developed in a full game with further polishing.

Soul collector! by Noobman64 2025-10-07T00:48:35Z

Fun game! got the "softhearted" ending because I collected only the ones that were shooting at me and it wasn't enough to pay the debt hahaha Anyways, not killing the animals, they're cute!

Gravelight by Adrien Tremblay 2025-10-07T21:44:50Z

Great for a solo project! I liked the effects from the artifacts. The gravekeepers weren't really threatening, but when one of them talked to me I jumped haha Well done!

Whiskers in the Dark by SlaQr 2025-10-07T21:28:19Z

GENIUOS I had so much fun playing this. It was a little bit difficult to get used to the controls, but after that the hunt is on haha

Give me your name by LogovoStudio 2025-10-10T21:05:58Z

The graphics is absolutely superb! The gameplay felt a little boring / empty in the beginning, but then the story started to take over. I expected some plot twist, but oh my god that turned out dark. This game doesn't have jump-scares but I jumped when I saw the crow started to change!

Well done, good game!

Black Friday OFF 99.9999999999999% by ThatFirey 2025-10-06T23:25:01Z

Beautiful! Love the graphics

Fair Trade by Puuukich 2025-10-07T00:34:01Z

Took me some time to figure it out, but after all I really enjoyed it and played until I won :) I feel like you can turn this into a bigger project afterwards!

Antlector by ZombieWalrus 2025-10-08T14:33:15Z

Well, at least I have an impressive death collection...

Really fun game to play, such a simple but inventive mechanics!

I was often running into issue when a charged ant would miss the boss by just a little bit and then go in spirals until gets a new charge or killed. I couldn't get through Mama Roach after all, it moved and rotated too fast and was reaching the bait faster then ants and then it would kill the ants that were going after that bait lol

Butterfly Gathering by UniOwl 2025-10-08T23:47:24Z

The artwork is incredibly beautiful! The game is so chilled and relaxed. Sadly not much to do after unlocking all flowers, you just sit and wait for different species to appear. Unless you try to paint something on the field with flowers you have haha Definitely some potential.

A Lifelong Hobby by Derek Glennon 2025-10-09T21:52:57Z

Adorable little game! Love that you based it on personal expirience.

The expirience is cosy and relaxing, I enjoyed it!

Ah and... the last job is a great joke hahaha

Collect Star Dust ★ 收集星尘 by fan 2025-10-13T23:20:29Z

Great graphics, sound and idea! The gameplay is very interesting and unusual, too. I found it hard to get used to the physics of the rocks falling out of the sack, Taco felt really slippery, and some colliders were too big (passing the desert is a challenge). But with a bit of patience, that worked out alright. Well done! Really enjoyed the game.

The Soul Collector by Pcho 2025-10-07T00:03:30Z

@cameron-dunlap hi, thank you so much for the feedback! We actuallly have mouse sensibility setting in options :) We did want to add one more mini game but couldn't make it in time!

Skull Issue by KAVERZA 2025-10-08T21:52:42Z

The cutscene in the end is a masterpiece

Debts & Dragons by Syphorce 2025-10-07T23:25:18Z

The art of town merchants is so beautiful! I love the concept of the game. However I found UI not very user-intuitive (took be waay too long to see the little "map" button in the corner...), prices overlap (especially when they get high). I'd say the game is about inflation, as the prices went x10 in a few days hahaha

Out Of Energy by Custodi 2025-10-12T00:02:36Z

Great game! Simple but fun. Graphics is cute. The gameplay progressively gets hard, I died on stage 3 and the amount of bullets there was insane (however I died because I lost track of my own energy lol)

Serial Cleaner by 6Knowledge 2025-10-09T21:34:48Z

Cleaning my actual house: nope

Playing the game about cleaning: yes please

The Black Stone by Endejck 2025-10-10T21:25:46Z

The project seems ambitious, nice graphics and audio! Strong atmosphere. I expected some action in the caves (the trap mentioned in the letter). Looks like the game ends in the room upstairs? I couldn't figure out if that's it or am I missing something.

Truth Collector by TemmyT 2025-10-09T21:19:31Z

Love the artwork and the whole idea! Playing with possibilities and balancing popularity and money was very interesting. The only thing I'm struggling to understand is the relation between money declared and money/popularity that I get. I guess the amount of popularity and money recieved are connected, but the sutiations are random.

C.A.P.S by zowell 2025-10-08T18:06:09Z

I spent a good bit in it until I realised that... there's no escape... (is it?) The game felt so random, but then I started to realise the logic of building combinations and suddenly everything became very interesting. Vell done, good and unusual puzzle!

The Witch Chef by dumchevdev 2025-10-15T20:10:39Z

I love the visuals and music! I managed to find all but one combination (the spagetti). I tried a lot of different ones and nothing worked for it :( Would be cool to have some sort of hints to be able to figure out combinations instead of trying random ones. The method of enumerating possible options got me far, but eventually I got tired of it.

The World of my Own by Zzzkvidi4 2025-10-06T23:36:21Z

Love the idea! Unfortunately couldn't figure out what to do after collecting the key (I tried the door but it won't open)

The World of my Own by Zzzkvidi4 2025-10-07T20:11:51Z

@zzzkvidi4 thank you, that helped! The puzzles are really interesting after all, even if not very intuitive initially :)

The Poem Of Your Life by florianCohen 2025-10-07T23:11:23Z

Very good for a one-day game! Love the concept and graphics. The only thing I noticed is that after the item gets colour it draws on top of the environment. Not sure if that was intended.

Flying fish is super cute.

Gibberwave by yiwai 2025-10-09T23:22:39Z

I really enjoyed that game! The art is so beautiful, nice music, and, of course, unusual idea and gameplay! The sentences are well-composed and I was struggling in the beginning because as English is not my first language I would recognise the correct sentence structure but it would take slightly longer to understand that it doesn't make any sense haha The time pressure was high, but I made it after all!

ColorCollector by huihang 2025-10-10T23:27:04Z

The concept is amazing! I feel like I'm missing out on the good bit of game/story because the texts in the game itself weren't in English. But even without it, I enjoyed opening new pieces of the map. Not seeing where you're jumping is scary at first, but then I learned that there aren't that many dangers and there are checkpoint, so jumping into the void became really fun. The graphics is very cute as well. This can be easily extended into a really interesting platformer.

The Soul Collector by phanopera 2025-10-07T19:03:32Z

Really pushed my GPU limits, my laptop got so warm that I don't need to switch on the heater haha (would be useful in winter...) Apart from that, very nice-looking and good atmosphere!

Mamudo by GonulGaye 2025-10-13T22:35:02Z

Cute! I like the visuals. The game is very short, but the mechanics of brewing potion and using it to collect another ingridient was interesting.

Better Hurry Up by Iriska 2025-10-12T23:36:21Z

Great game for the first attempt!! The graphics is cute, the story is touching, and the gameplay is quite interesting. I enjoyed this!

Goblin Lord's Dream by Ira Baciu 2025-10-07T20:57:40Z

The space jelly is soooooo cute! Overall, amazing artwork in all three games. I couldn't complete the third game (I guess I'm not a perfectionist gamer...) but I very much enjoyed it anyway!

Starbearer by Zillo 2025-10-07T22:06:40Z

Great! Well done fitting a complete story in a small game. I enjoyed getting through the level, and the pressure to collect stars to avoid dark keeps things interesting. I liked how the dash feels in combination with other mechanics. Also, great art!

Toy not trash! by Awanami 2025-10-07T21:50:37Z

The art is sooo beautiful, professional level! Not so much of gameplay unfortunately (though the idea is good), and I couldn't understand the logic behind winning or losing

SPIRAL by Shram 2025-10-08T20:33:45Z

Wow that's an atmospheric game. The level really gives that feeling melancholy / being so small in the world / loneliness, and then it just shrinks and shrinks until... one frame. I thought the main character is probably ill and chained to the bed, and the ilness that takes away her mind bit by bit until all that's left is a blurred picture of what was once the most important.

Orderly Chaos by roumo1025 2025-10-08T22:41:20Z

Very cute game! I love the artwork. Organizing items is a very interesting puzzle! One of games which look chilled and relaxed and then you blink and suddenly a ton of time has passed and you've didn't even notice

Spells and Dwells by Wishes 2025-10-09T23:53:31Z

Such a lovely demo! Superb art, touching and potentially deep story, catching characters. I want more! :)

GOLD DUST by starduster 2025-10-09T20:14:47Z

You mentioned the issue with some monitors, but I didn't understand what you mean until I read the comments and realised that I don't see the sand haha After that moved to another laptop and that was fine.

Sand physics is super satysfying! I found the controls to be quite hard to get used do, I keep sliding and it's hard to do precise jumps, so I didn't manage to get far. But still, nice game, great ideas, well done!

Madness bar by sick machine 2025-10-15T23:45:42Z

Interesting concept, but needs more work!

I liked the idea of collecting pieces of identity. Also, I somewhat enjoyed the combination of 2D art in 3D environment. I think that can be really good with some more polishing.

Unfortunately the placement of object made it nearly impossible to navigate the level. I also kept getting weird issue with the bathender where the dialog won't open when I look directly at him. Instead I had to try catching some tiny specific position when its triggered. The rest of characters worked better.

The drunk effect is out of this world haha Pretty cool
