Dangled by ansoneh 2020-10-05T21:06:05Z

I loved the upbeat music well done!

The Twisting Heavens by CreamyBacon2 2020-10-09T04:45:04Z

me and my friend played this at the same time and laughed so hard during the beginning , the game felt really nice to play and we enjoyed what you could finish!!

Trajectory by KaisenTheGreatOne 2020-10-06T19:46:56Z

I had fun , someone next to me enjoyed laughing as I messed up , great job all around !

Quantum Loops by necauqua 2020-10-06T19:52:43Z

That was really tough I enjoyed playing it

Resurrection by etrealjunior 2020-10-09T04:38:54Z

This game blew my mind It was very well made and told a great story however you shouldn't self promote, rate other peoples games and leave comments in order to get feedback :D ,your well made game speaks for itself

Limbo Loop by TheMentalSheep 2020-10-07T19:33:58Z

sorry so after the first boss for whatever reason the second doesnt spawn and we couldnt fix this issue before the deadline.

LD48 — Deeper and deeper

Mrs. ScubaMan by Shaolin Dave 2021-04-27T04:08:14Z

Excavatorade - A game about digging by Boxman 2021-04-27T03:45:32Z

diggyDiggyHole.Zip got me at first that's a great name.... < I typed that before I beat the game .. wow that was creepy I loved it. ahh gave me chills

T.O.P.O by emrod 2021-04-27T03:24:51Z

Great work, I really loved the audio when you start to run out of time it really builds tension and adds a lot to the game feel. It fits the theme and it's just overall a great game jam submission.

Glyphs of Madness by itsatony 2021-04-27T02:47:14Z

This was an experience, it's really well made and you did great job. !! the art was also amazing!

Zepog by Archock34 2021-04-27T02:38:53Z

This was soo cute! I wish there was more to play and id really be interested in a continuation of this. The art , music and mood just fit together so well and the little frog character is adorable.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T03:55:33Z

@scott-steffes Thank you so much !

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T04:11:05Z

@drew-abegg yeah I didn't notice the jumping issue until after I built the game near the end of the jam as it was working fine in my editor. I really wish I managed to fix that bug , as for the dash I have no idea what compelled by brain to map it to the c key. I'm hoping to work on the concept of the game more over the summer.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T04:12:19Z

@sabomball I'm glad you liked it , yeah the jump was a little annoying in game , wish I managed to clear those bug up before the release.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T04:18:19Z

@thetimesweeper Thank you so much I had a lot of fun making it.

So I thought that too and I checked and double checked that all input was run through update and not fixedUpdate but it was all solid , the issue is probably coming from my checkground script or something like that. Later on I will go back and fixes those pesky issues. Afterwards I want to expand this little game and really polish it.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T04:57:51Z

@shaolin-dave Thank you for the Play , yeah there are definitely changes like the ones you suggested that would go a long way towards improving the game. I spent too long working on content than polishing.

My mapping for keys was so weird for this game like I used C for dash and Q for spell cast and as you stated Right click for an attack when left click was available.

The jump key is Space and there is an issue with jumping where the input isn't always recorded on the key press.

Thank you again for the feed back if I come back tot he project I will definitely make those improvements.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-27T04:59:14Z

@shaolin-dave and thank you for the compliment on the pixel art I worked alone this go around because I really wanted to work on improving my pixel art skills.

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-29T21:53:47Z

@animatrix1490 thank you so much for the review I loved working on the art. As for the bugs yeah I really could have done a better job at tweaking the wall jump to actually work properly 100% of the same (same for the jump).

The spell was tied to the last direction the player moved which had a massive flaw in that as you said you could press a button mid animation and the spell would fly the wrong way. Since the release of the Jam I’ve fixed this problem with a similar solution to the one you suggested.

Thank you again!!

Padrum Trudge by TheMentalSheep 2021-04-29T21:56:03Z

@hypnoquat thank you so much for the review I really like critique like this because it will go a long way when I go to expand and polish the game. I wish I had the time to balance the costs and damage but a lot of the values were the ones I put them at the first time with no play test to tweak.

I’ll definitely refer to your comment a lot in regards to level design and guiding the player.

Thank you again!!!

Into The Depth by shnigle shnagle 2021-04-27T04:32:18Z

This game was frustrating in the best way possible it required a lot of precession and timing to get right. Some parts felt a little wonky and were super hard but I really enjoyed playing it.

Blue Abyss by Alpha Wolf Studios 2021-04-27T03:35:22Z

Had a lot of content and was pretty interesting over all , well done !

Wasp Digging Hive Builder by TheWhiteRice 2021-04-27T03:18:48Z

a neat concept I could easily see a broader game based on this concept. overall well done

Lil'Drill - The Chiseller of Balls by AndereSpackosProductions 2021-04-27T01:19:02Z

Was a ton of fun!! yall did Great , the graphics and art was amazing and it felt very clean and smooth to play <3

Danger Rat by Studio Gomp 2021-04-27T03:53:27Z

This was incredible the music , the art everything was just great and so well polished. I had so much fun playing this absolute master piece of a game jam submission.

LD50 — Delay the inevitable

The Inglorious Yet Highly Stimulating Life of an Underpaid Graduate Student 2 by Kyle Farwell 2022-04-05T02:20:20Z

Leaving this comment before I actually download and rate the game but I was having an issue getting the game to run with the HTML5 version on both chrome and edge browser i'm getting an error reading "Error: Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded (see JavaScript console for details)"

The Inglorious Yet Highly Stimulating Life of an Underpaid Graduate Student 2 by Kyle Farwell 2022-04-05T02:48:47Z

Omg that was great , I work as an IT intern and it was super relatable. I lasted only a few days before I got reunited with some old friends. The humor was great and the game play was smooth and polished well done!!!

The Cold Night by Steffo 2022-04-05T03:07:14Z

Had fun playing the theme was incorporated really well. The art was nice and the fading flame effect was very well done. , Great game submission all around

Walk of life by ThePhennix 2022-04-09T09:39:29Z

That game was soo frustrating but it kept me playing to keep trying to get further. Great job keeping with the theme. The game play was great as it felt natural to keep getting better with each run. great game!

Keep It Steaming by Jvdwijk 2022-04-05T02:08:50Z

Fun game that really fit the theme of delaying the inevitable I lasted 20 days on my first run. The art was nice and the animations for the background , the minigames and the train were really well done. I dont know if it was intentional but the sound effects made me laugh. Great submission.

The Great Filter by T C 2022-04-05T01:43:38Z

It was a little tough at first getting the mechanics down a better tutorial could help. It was also an interesting choice that you can only take an action after moving. I really loved the art and sound design/music. Overall great submission well done!

Scarecrow Swarm by Zackary Bazzle 2022-04-16T00:02:55Z

A few performance issues but overall a great game , it was fun. I felt like the post processing was a little over the top especially with the motion blur. Over all fun and kept with the theme Great job!

Fire Up! by Pranav Sai Arra 2022-04-21T19:04:08Z

Fun game was pretty challenging it would have been nice to have some ui indicating threats and people to rescue. overall good submission.

Sands of Time by TheMentalSheep 2022-04-05T23:19:32Z

I like to say thank you to all the kind words regarding my submission I feel really accomplished this time around. Thank you!!

Like a Boss by NBumgardner 2022-04-05T01:49:52Z

It was a great submission the controls were a little hard to grasp and the claw attack didn't seem to follow the cursor very well (perhaps add an offset to the rotation). The art was nice and besides the minor control issues it was a good game. Good work , keep making games

Indestructible Paws by GameBucha 2022-04-08T21:12:18Z

Loved the art

Immortal Snail by Mika314 2022-04-05T02:00:04Z

Loved playing this game it was so creepy in terms of atmosphere with the music and art but coupled with the voice liens from the snail the whole experience was great. Maybe some more variety would improve the game , but I thought it was great overall.

Paddle Panic 🚣‍♂️😱 by Marlon 2022-04-21T19:00:23Z

That was a super fun game , kept with the theme and was just a delight to play

TimeCave by Karahan 2022-04-05T01:33:20Z

The Theme was really well brought out in the mechanics and story of the game. The art is simple and beautiful and the little details like the key winding up when you go to jump is just mwa chefs kiss. But..... It is so HARD like omg I was trying my hardest to get through it but I kept dying. I wont call that a negative though it kept me wanting to keep playing to make it further than before.

Heart Hunter by foolsroom 2022-04-05T02:14:07Z

The art and sound were stunning !! omg it was so beautiful to play. The controls felt nice and the game was pretty challenging. you did a great job connecting the theme with the game. very well done!

LD51 — Every 10 seconds

SKYE ATC by Sharks 2022-10-04T01:12:50Z

The audio/sound effects were great and the game was pretty fun. I liked all of the instructions and it felt like a great sim. great job!

SKYE ATC by Sharks 2022-10-04T01:16:03Z

It was a little hard to get the hang off but besides that it's great.

The Tenth Second Son by Caveman54 2022-10-10T21:23:57Z

A really fun game! it was challenging but really rewarding when you time everything right it felt so clean after you got the hang of it. Great submission!

9 To 5 by AlphaBetaSoup 2022-10-04T01:09:49Z

That was so fun!! like one of the most fun card games i've played that has come from a game jam. The art was great the music was fun to listen to and the thing I liked the most was the corporate humor. Well done!

Table Scraps by TheMentalSheep 2022-10-04T03:36:51Z

@killerb thank you so much I’m glad you liked it ! The jumping was a hold over from the fact my dog irl can’t jump very well but you’ve got a good point it would have felt better if the control was on press instead of release. Thanks for playing!

Table Scraps by TheMentalSheep 2022-10-10T20:59:10Z

@fabula-rasa I'm glad you enjoyed it , we forgot to opt out sorry about that

Elemental Reload by Niklas Zhaga 2022-10-08T19:08:27Z

Very fun game and learning the rhythm was hard but pretty rewarding. Great submission sorry to hear about the troubles with the deadline.

Wake The Beast by ChrisDeDev 2022-10-04T01:01:30Z

Fun game felt very arcade like which i loved! The art was simple and cute. overall well done!
