LD55 — Summoning (8)

From Dust by Redoxeide 2024-04-17T20:37:20Z ♥ 1

Hm. cute little game. I liked the art and the sounds. the balance seems a bit off. they seem to randomly decide what they have? sometimes they get like 14 speed, and I have no idea how you could even get that much unless your slate is all 3 or something. maybe, if possible, a more expanded on version could also show their board? (I know they probably are just rolling dice for what they have or something so would be a lot of work.) but it feels like after a while they are cheating when they get like 14s on everything.

Anyway thanks for the game was fun to summon my sad minions.

Golem Guardians by Substain 2024-04-17T02:04:36Z ♥ 4

I liked the game but was unsure why I would use the other golems other than the shooting one. (Maybe because I played cookie clicker.) I was able to use the other two as meat shield distractions and just shoot everything. Was a fun game. I do wish there was a way to make the dialog go faster but the fact you can rebind the controls in a jam game is fantastic. Also have a nice set of options. Thanks for the game!

Salmoning by kuviman 2024-04-17T01:44:07Z ♥ 6

Wow, I love this game! we need more friendly GTA games. I like going around as a salmon. I like the radio and the town is adorable. the cars don't seem to respect pedestrians at all though I guess salmon have different road rules then we do. Maybe there is some hatred for people who don't own cars in salmon society or something. Anyway, great game! I need to stop though, or I will just be a salmon for the whole voting and not actually try anything else.

Who Summoned It? by Tyler Law 2024-04-17T00:49:54Z ♥ 3

Will have to come back to this later was doing it on my phone and had all the clues but was having a problem poking buttons on my phone. (Also going to get some paper so can take notes.) Thanks for the game will come back to finish it when I'm at my desk later. Was fun.

Saturna's Hand by parkuhrmd 2024-04-16T22:35:59Z ♥ 5

I enjoyed this game. It's got a lot of strategy and I like that you can take the cards back so you can change your move later. I don't quite understand the way the points work. I think you make rings of the same and on the other side make them the other way. the first time I caught 0 of them but after a few tries I was catching them all. can be hard to catch a demon with a demon they end up so much more powerful than the other cards, but it is a nice balance mechanic because they also score a lot. I liked that you are weighing scoring over getting another demon.

Also want to add thank you for not making it timed. I don't have the fastest reaction times so having no timer is nice! All in all, fantastic puzzle game my high score was 600 something when I finally got some of the demons rather than them all getting away. Thanks for the great game!

Lil Lads Hit the Notes (Or fall into lava and they don't want that) by Josion 2024-04-16T20:12:10Z ♥ 3

Cute game. I liked it, I often would click twice though that might just be my mouse. I'm also not too good with rhythm games. So that probably didn't help. I liked the art, and the sound was good. maybe the notes could be a different color. was hard to see them sometimes from I think the side particles don't know my eyes would glaze over and I would miss them. could just be a me thing though. Anyway, good job on making a game! It was fun.

Unpacking Armageddon by notnasiul 2024-04-16T19:52:59Z ♥ 1

It's a fun little game. I love the art and the sound is wonderful. It got a bit hard at the end but that was cause I stuffed most of the boxes in a corner. Thanks for the game!

Orbitals by pvg 2024-04-16T19:43:51Z ♥ 1

okay overall I liked it, most of my deaths have been trying to hit the bad guys with the orbs and I crash into them because I can't tell how fast I am going. my highest score was 125. And I got that by ignoring the bad guys and pickups entirely and just coming back later when they are gone. made the game really slowish compared to the other runs where I got about 50-80 points. but I think it's because most of my deaths were from trying to hit the bad guys. Anyway, I did have fun and it had sounds! I think with a bit of polish it could be fantastic.

LD54 — Limited Space (10)

GARBAGE SIMULATOR by Brandon McDonald 2023-10-20T05:46:54Z ♥ 0

Nice fun little game one thing I noticed was that the turning sound was way louder then the other noises so much so that I stopped turning at all because it was so loud. I like the tutorial was vary helpful. Maybe if you have time after the jam add an arrow pointing to where the trash bins are, or something took me a while to figure out to push left or right to see the bins after clicking on the flashing bins. Maybe make the truck a little faster as well but all in all a solid base for a game could see myself playing this if it is expanded on like how I play lawnmower simulator. Thanks for the game. Have a good day and good luck with your school!

The Endless Night by Just Dzhi 2023-10-03T16:49:01Z ♥ 3

Cool game, had fun. was sad when it only went up to level five but also was overpowered at that point so maybe was good. Love the art. and the auto aiming is nice.

Thanks for the share. Have a good day.

Introvertigo by Scott Steffes 2023-10-03T16:03:18Z ♥ 7

I am to polite to play this game...I keep talking and then run away. This game is like Carl's tea party on steroids. (That is one of our other games that deals with anxiety.) I love it. The art is wonderful, and this is my problem in real life, I just stay home because I don't want to have to be rude to people if they are creepy.

Thanks for reminding me why I don't go outside. (realizes it is his older brother's birthday today. Oh no!)

Anyway, thanks for the share. Have a good day.

Seagull Island | L'île aux Goélands by Seb_degraff 2023-10-03T15:07:02Z ♥ 5

I like this game. It's a fun little puzzle? rouge like? I guess. It has a lot of luck for what buildings you get here is my score.Screenshot 2023-10-03 105953.png the extra five points are from a small mart that is out the top of the screen. got lucky and that was my last draw.

I love the music and the art it makes it a lovely homey vibe, it was fun to learn what all the combos for buildings where. still not sure I saw them all but it was an enjoyable game.

All in all wonderful game. Thanks for the share. Have a good day.

Whiskers in the Dark by Diego Teran 2023-10-03T14:34:56Z ♥ 3

Okay I love the art, the sound is good, One thing I noticed though was that when the room resets the lights don't so it makes the last room a bit annoying because there is one time that the lights line up and every other time you can do everything right and just get grabbed anyway because it had the wrong timing of the lights.

Anyway, thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

Keyslinger by OrdiNeu 2023-10-03T14:11:07Z ♥ 2

Nice game I love the tumble weeds even though they are not too helpful compared to the other powerups. got to stage 10 then ran out of health. it seems like it is easy till you get hit once because of the bounce mechanic that happens when you get hit often you don't have the movement to recover and so I just would get hit again. the best run I did was to just scrap moving at all and just get all the guns and stockpiled them next to me so I could just swap lasers for new ones.

All in all I love the art and sound and the game is rather good, thanks for sharing. Have a good day.

SUPER ULTRA HYPER COMBO REMIX 64 Σ DX+:REMASTERED LIMITED EDITION ORIGINS ONLINE by willianfhs 2023-10-03T00:04:40Z ♥ 3

Thanks for the fun game my best is 6669, it also has an awesome name. Love the voices. Thanks for sharing.

Have a good day.

Lab Job! (Play In-Browser) by Smitner 2023-10-02T22:12:24Z ♥ 0

Nice puzzle game thanks for sharing.

Trapped Alone by Juhani Koskinen 2023-10-02T21:40:02Z ♥ 2

Thanks for the fun little puzzle game. Also just want to say was a bit nervous from the dark room but thank you for not making it a horror game. I played it in web and it seemed to work well though that couch would make it studder a bit. other then that the game worked smoothly I finished it in about 6 1/2 minutes but that is because I was trying to use the couch to see if there was stuff on the bookcase. (there isn't.)

Thanks for the fun game have a good day!

BedSpace by nicolanore 2023-10-02T20:04:18Z ♥ 1

My bed is full of stuffed animals so I can feel their pain. The art and sounds are wonderful. The cat does blend in with the bed a bit so took me a while to realize that the cat was now on the bed in the way. It was funny and I had a blast I'm really feeling it with the jam we could all use more sleep.

Thanks for a fun game. Have a good day! (And hopefully night too.)

LD52 — Harvest (21)

It was all for the Tuna by rosypenguin 2023-01-18T03:48:35Z ♥ 2

Cool game and you be a cat so yay. I fished ALL of them! not sure if the way I was supposed to catch the gold tuna was scaring them into a corner but that is what I did. Had fun.

All in all, Cool graphics I like that the cat sits on top of the boat. Keep up the good work Yip yap.

King of Veggies by pinchazumos 2023-01-17T23:43:52Z ♥ 1

Okay the core mechanics are fun I just noticed a problem with the higher numbers mathematically if you get an 8 it will take at least 9 spaces to clear assuming you get them all in a row. (Very unlikely.) Now it was fun, but I think if you are going to go that high of numbers on your cards you will need more spaces or some way to remove more than one at a time from them. As it is right now if you get a 7 of pumpkins and a 7 of cabbage you probably lose space if all three show up to almost always loose space. 8s are even worse and I never saw a 9 but they would almost always lose you space unless you were very lucky and only one showed up. I think if you make 6 or 5 the highest number with the 30 spaces it might work better but I'm not a mathematician this is just my guess.

Okay now that that is out of the way...I liked the game it is fun the water making them higher value is a nice mechanic. The sound is fab. Love the pixel art. Yeah just the math thing. Also, space thing is only a problem if you don't want to have a "wall of doom" in your game if you want the player to lose at some point then it is fine. I personally find it a bit annoying if the game makes me lose but maybe that is just me.

All in all, a fun little game as long as you don't notice that probability is going to make you lose. Yip yap.

Beet Island by coatline 2023-01-16T20:52:33Z ♥ 1

Nice little game it reminds me of throwing rocks in Control. Vary fun. It's vary intuitive after you get hit the first time, I was like evil cubes!

I think if you were to expand on it a tutorial would be nice, (though I understand game jam.) All in all, fairly nice game with a bit more polish could be a good arcade game. I'm not nearly as good as you are at it, but you can get better with practice. One thing I did notice is that the enemies always come from one direction and so it is hard to pick the beets in that corner I'm guessing if you work on this more then they would come from other directions as well it just seemed like for this one the beets in that corner seemed less then helpful.

At the end of the day though I had fun playing and you made a game so good job! Yip yap!

HARRR Vests by Lomby 2023-01-15T18:04:33Z ♥ 1

This game is amazing, And I'm not saying that just because I like puns, and I was thinking of a pirate game at the start as well. One thing I think would be nice would be an in-game tutorial but that's more on me for not reading the page (I'm not nocking you for it just giving you some how to improve it.).

I do think if you made mouse controls it might be more intuitive though not sure that would be good might make it too easy for some. I will also say the fact that you can't lose is nice (not sure if you can but I didn't so I'm basing it on that even though they keep threatening me.).

All in all, the core mechanics are mostly solid and if this is your first solo jam hey you made and released the thing. I do think that if you mark the mistakes, it would be funny if they reacted to them, but I can see how it could be annoying if they actually threw you overboard. But that's my two cents.

Thanks for the game I love that you are just removing arms and legs off of the cloths because they are pirates. It has this whole horrible hidden narrative and I love it. Good work.

Also balancing how much you do is tricky; we entered this jam to see what we could do with a time crunch and I'm generally happy with what we got. Pacing is everything it's not good to burn yourself out and sleep is important. Yip yap.

Dew Drop by Kevin Barrios 2023-01-13T07:10:19Z ♥ 1

Well it's a thing...It works? it has a lot of bugs...and not just the ant kind...Though I'm guessing you know all that. Good effort I suppose. You submitted a thing!

On a more serious note, I think you have some potential here it is cute, and it has a bit of strategy that with a bit more...I guess anything? could be good. The music is nice.

All in all, um it runs...Yip yap!

Plot Luck by Ani 2023-01-13T06:57:57Z ♥ 1

Nice little game it is quite addicting played it to 100 coins. the art is cute.

Buzzy Business by amarokczukay 2023-01-13T06:37:46Z ♥ 1

Nice I keep getting eaten by frogs, but it is fun it's like the opposite of those swat the mosquito to get an iPod adds. The controls are Niceley implemented music is nice and I liked the graphics. Makes it easy to just start another run too which is nice.

All in all, had fun would attack people again. Yip yap!

Edit: If you want a non-farming or soul harvest game you should do my game and fish with some kobolds. Yip.

Hex-Yield by AndideBob 2023-01-13T02:14:54Z ♥ 2

Hey just got around to playing your game was missing tile 20 then saw it in the comments went back an got it. Very fun game spent the time I was supposed to be working on the spreadsheet for one of our games playing this one instead oops...

One thing I think would be nice would be a hint system not one that tells you what it is but maybe a hint. The order sort of does that but I knew it had something to do with the town just not sure what. Anyway, would not do my job again 10/10. Yip yap!

Harveyster by Almax 2023-01-11T19:25:38Z ♥ 4

Nice little game you made I'm not very good at it. but it was fun. I keep trying to fight people in one spot so that I don't waste the harvest and then I die. The art is nice I like that it waits to ring the bell before attacking you it makes it much more assessable for people like me (my reflexes are eh.). The pumpkin guy is cute, and it didn't randomly turn into a horror game so that's a plus.

Thanks for the fun game.

Slimevulture by Feraligatr 2023-01-11T00:45:43Z ♥ 1

Nice game, love the upgrade system I had all the bows! first time I went into the house and started the boss fight and just died. Second time managed to beat him. was fun.

Click Click Farm by boaheck-artgent 2023-01-11T00:31:15Z ♥ 1

Nice, I like this game it's like cookie clicker but with building. The music is awesome! I could just leave it open and do other things and have it loop the music. Not sure what the drop rate for the carrot was but it finally dropped for me as the last thing. (My luck probably just sucks.) Was a good fun little experience.

Nimkip! by T C 2023-01-10T21:52:56Z ♥ 3

This is totally a new idea and has never been done before amazing! all joking aside bit buggy didn't even know there were blue ones the first time through. got waped buy a green thing? and lost all of my minions had to start over and just avoided those ended up finishing.

Seems like with a bit of polish it can be really good though I would suggest making them have other abilities if you expand it further (the reason that they have the different ones is that you need to have all of them to finish the game.) and I felt like after getting the purple ones they were the only one I ever made. Though this could be fixed also buy having them deal different "elements" of damage as well.

All in all, fun game if not a bit buggy sometimes.

Getting Apples In It by Sid Fish 2023-01-10T21:11:41Z ♥ 1

I love the voice is like they did good, and my drone probably burned more CO2 into the atmosphere then all of the industrial revolution. Is really hard and I am really bad at it. but had nice music.

Also, when you select a level there is this popping sound. I was playing the web version. it is also really big it didn't fit on my screen and the full screen mode was not working.

Anyway, loved your game all the same...Doh just realized that the sound is not one of the things we are rating. The robot is cute love the eyes I got up to level 4 and gave up with the pipe there was no way I was going to do that. Have a good one. Yip yap!

mad veggies by yopox 2023-01-10T20:47:17Z ♥ 1

Nice little game the editor is cool. The level select could be a bit better maybe if it was like square buttons, you could have it save levels into some custom tab or something (sounds a bit much for a jam game but if you were going to polish it up then I think it would help.)

I also noticed that if you click off of the game the music seems to bunch up, and it ends up playing the music really fast.

Also, apples are evil!

All in all, a nice little puzzle game with some potential given some polish. thanks for making and sharing it.

Space Harvester by Cobear25 2023-01-10T03:46:28Z ♥ 2

Fun little game. Shooting seems less then useful though (or I just suck.) it just gets me killed every time I try to shoot them also the sound it plays when you die seems a bit loud compared to the other noises it scared me the first time. Oh also an arrow or something pointing to the mother ship when it is off screen would be helpful (unless that is the intended gameplay.), I got lost a few times and had to loop around for a while till I found the ship again.

All in all, a good game just needs some more polish (don't like all of these games do though).

N.O.A.S. by JudJudson 2023-01-10T03:34:22Z ♥ 3

As someone who has worked in a produce department, I can confirm that this is accurate company behavior. Sorry you died we are now firing you. Great game. Had fun not sure what happiness does I'm guessing nothing? is expensive though.

The Cactilogue by Sarah 2023-01-09T22:39:56Z ♥ 1

Nice I like it. It is nice and relaxing. the star ones seem a bit hard, or I just suck ether way I got better at it after a while. It is very cute. Good job!

BUGGED by MangoWorks 2023-01-09T17:32:29Z ♥ 1

I'm a be lazy and just copy my post.

Nice, I like this game, I like that it freezes when you have to put a tile, I'm bad at action games so it would be a nightmare otherwise.

The first time I played it it turned dark all the sudden and was really hard to see I thought it was because I took too much damage but the second time it never did. not sure what that was. Had fun and I think this has potential. I like that you end up being your own demise as it's your fault that the board is clunky.

Match-3: Crop Rotation by Ausstein 2023-01-09T16:24:00Z ♥ 1

Nice. I wish it had some indication of what was going to grow I think after trying it a few times they take several turns to grow, and I couldn't keep track of them all. was fun and I definitely did better the second time. the first I was like why are these nor scoring points and then halfway through I was like oh I see. It's like the bejewel game where you spin the board but with more stuff to keep track of, I like it.

Harvest by Cloistered 2023-01-09T16:09:33Z ♥ 1

Nice, took me a while to know that you could drag them around. it is kind of chaotic with the prices of things, but it reminds me of bad piggies in a way making a contraption to hopefully not explode. Good job.

CORN BLOCKBASTER by stalkachevan 2023-01-09T15:55:51Z ♥ 0

Nice game. Didn't understand what the point on the dynamite was though as if you upgrade your tool, you can get it faster that way. was fun though.
