Cool Idea... I like the sound.... Background theme setting is good but instead of plain texts maybe graphics would have been better.

hi , good job on completing the game. Game is fun , does it satisfy the theme though hmmmmm. The axe hitting is not very accurate something is not right with it, enemy are hard to kill with it. Graphics can be improved and add a bit of animation/aparticle effect to take it up a notch.
Ok by far this is the best game I have played tonight. Really polished , everything goes well together, music, small animations, color style. Best par is the gameplay. A job well done !!
@jorbits , nice game. Good job!! enjoyed the game. Controls also easy. Better audio can definitely help. Best of luck !!
Gameplay is fun , addition of graphics and better audio will definately help :).

Hi good job on completing the game. I like the graphics and control. Game play is a bit difficult the big ships don't seem to die out.
hi, Great to see your entry. I am a follower of your youtube channel. You met the expectation :). Game is visually stunning. Gameplay is amazing. Only thing I think lacking is variation in gameplay. Good job on the game.
hi, Just played the game. Congrats on a successful submission. Good - Graphics, Audio . Improvement Areas - Controls are very flimsy , you can't pick up the box you want, it falls down , too much physics. You can definitely take it further.
Interesting concept... since this is a relatively slow paced game some fast music will help build up the theme. Graphics can be improved to identify each power separately.
Jump generator seriously? Maybe a mini game to generate carrots if at all that concept needs to be there. Game graphics are good. Also why did you choose that engine out of so many popular ones.
Your link not working..
My entry - https://blackarck.itch.io/block-smash
@frostbyte4k , yep working now. The game has lot of potential but the control to generate new blocks is a bit flimsy , also I believe rather than both the mechanism to kill an enemy you can stick with an entrapment sorta function. Cool graphics and audio well done.
theme is good, artwork is well points for consistency. Spot on for theme. Music can use some help. Main screen should be revised looks like a baloon floating haha No way of restarting the level once you are stuck !!
Good job on completing the game. Game is simple and repetitive. Consider putting out a browser version will make it easy for people to try it out. Love the graphics. Does it matches the theme ,.... I wonder...
Game plays well in browser. Good job on completing the game.
Good job on your submission. Game looks amazing, you were able to achieve the style you were aiming for. Game play is a but tough though, luck looks like a big factor than skill :)
Executable file takes a bit time to download for a small size. Consider putting out a browser based version ? Art style is nice. Controls are good.
Ha, simple game simple style. Nice casual game. You can add physics to the main player to give game a bit of twist rather than plane movements. Audio will definitely help.
Graphics are very simple but gameplay is good. My personal preference is for a game to start slow if controls are a bit tricky. Mixed with audio and improved graphics will definitely help!! good luck
Concept is good but gameplay is a lil easy. Better graphics can definitely improve the game play. Oh and try putting out a browser version. Will make it easy for people to play and rate :).
Graphics and audio are amazing, I like the small world idea. Gameplay was a bit slow...it takes too much time for hte player to move ... probably change walk to run when you continue pressing the button?
good job on completing the game. Looks cool. A bit too much on the shaky effect. Some music would have been fun. Spot on "theme".
Good job on completing the game. The web version is also working well. I like the audio and that you actually gave 3d a different art look rather than just adding diffuse shader on them. I dunno if its just me but the gameplay is a bit difficult and game starts very slow, nothing was happening in first 5 seconds. Keep it up !!
Wow loads of feedback and I can see. Game is very much enjoyable. I think I played this one the longest. The good Graphics are spot on ( menu, front screen, explosions) you did that in just 3 days wow!! Sounds Gameplay
I do agree with some of the feedback you have already received, It does not tell me how well i did as compared to last time ( score or timer maybe). At the end I was swarmed with such a huge group which was impossible to defeat ( or maybe I missed on something :). Game definitely has potential with building upgrades, scoring system.
Music is really good. Graphics are simple yet matches the theme. Game play is a bit slow to start with.
Congrats on completing the game. It looks really good. I love the graphics and colour theme ,music UI. One thing that I stumbled upon is the gameply i.e. goal of the game. There are no strikes to correct your play behavior.
look and feel is nice. I agree with above comments its a bit confusing to see what is going on. Too many instructions to keep in mind while playing the game.
LD entry -> https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/block-smash-ludum-dare-42-entry
The game's look and feel is amazing. Very nice work on the graphics. One bug I found is if you stand near the moving platform on first stage you will automatically be thrown out and will show you as victorious. So probably a little more work on level design. Awesome work !!
Good graphics !! everything goes well as a theme together. Sound will definitely help.
One hella weekend. Full of excitement, This was my first jam/compo and I am glad I was able to complete it within the given time. As always had to trim down a lot from my to-do list. Aimed for something achievable. Not entirely happy but not too bad either.
Best of luck for Jam !!
Thanks @ephoria , @shaggyfox , @fenerax , @bovandenberg , @devio for trying out the games. Your entries are excellent as well. Enjoyed playing and rating them !! best of luck
Thanks @florian-van-strien for trying out the game. I implemented "in game" sounds, but since I am not good at music, it was a short tune and was becoming repititive too soon. In game play the game gives out a breath if you pass obstacles too closely.
Thanks for your advice on flashing block will consider that.
@phantomopenboxing , thanks, I am planing to do that as well. Draw couple of new environment sprites. Use real world objects instead of blocks.
@james-dunlap , thanks for the feedback. Yeah blocks certainly requires correction, received that from almost everyone. The blocks are auto generated, in my test run that never happened. I need to add an additional check on my spawner.
@diptoman thanks .l.yeah redesigning graphics is on my to do list.
Good job on completing the game. Art style is consistent which is good. Theme .. not so sure :)
Very nice game. Look and feel is excellent. The top part of the game is cutting out in web version ( chrome on mac) so I was not able to enjoy the full gameplay but everything seems to be working a OK !! good job.
hi,
Nice graphics and style ( theme , menu , colors) Audio will definitely take it up a notch. A bit glitchy the guy was crushed under one of the boxes? Not sure if its webgl or a bug but game will not go back to main menu without refreshing the whole thing :). Great effort and design.
Concept is very nice. It can use some better controls .... right now it gets a bit difficult for a simple operation like picking up can you have to struggle a bit hard... aim at the right place play the right button. instead of sucking action simple button could have done it.
Good try !! Gameplay is a bit difficult, fumbling with both mouse and keyboard :). Hopfully you continue to work on graphics , fonts don't match the game theme.
funny and simple game. It shows what you can do with couple of sprites. You put some mind into it, you might want to think how you can take this to the next level ( bit more challenging)
Hi , if you developed the game in Unity you can build the browser version which will make it easy for people to rate :) small suggestion.
Art work is cool. Its a bit work to download .exe but artwork is good so worth it. Good try !! I love the gameplay.
hi.. the game looks amazing retro look n feel spot on. The animation can be improved... also gameplay is very confusing. The controls can use some help.
hi.... great game and congrats your game is doing well. Good graphics and sound. My main feedback would be with respect to the controls, it requires too many hands for a casual game :). It could have been like a runner game with speed build in so you only have to look and jump.
Different idea have to say. Game has minimalistic approach which is good and the graphics are consistent. Things that can be improved - Better menu. Game score is not shown at end. the game is forgiving that means if you make a mistake in the spelling it lets you retype and rectify the mistake , so in the game you are not fighting accuracy only time. All in all good gameplay.
There is no download link.
hi, i agree with some of the comments here. instructions should be shown a bit longer. It can be tricky to figure out the game. Nice gameplay though, graphics can use some help :)
hey very good looking game. I like the cartoony art style. Game should have a tutorial of sort takes a bit time to get hang of things or maybe I am a b it slow. Audio is a bit repetitive else was fun to hear sounds. its one of a kind in here so good potential to become something bigger :)
ah hey, tried a lot but my fat guy was not able to blow the arrow that far :(.
its difficult to stay alive long in there. Nice cute mini game. I really liked the art work the whole style of the game blends together nicely. Audio would really help this lil thing. Controls are a bit tricky to master, just arrow controls should be enough. Good try !!
hi, your HTML5 link isn't working correctly.
hi, good job on development. Art work is very nice, animation could have been improved. Also more night scary sounds like chirping etc. would have added to the environment. Some other alive thing would have made this more amazing ( like frogs, cats etc. ) if not enemies. One thing I was not able to do is drop stuff.
it will be difficult to get reviews if its downloadable. Try to churn a web version :)
Lovely little game. Artwork and audio are cool, would like to remove monotony by adding new items and replacing them etc. like plants vs . good job
Yes i agree with comments above some basic how to play is required otherwise you can feel lost in a big world. Graphics and audio are cool.
That is a new theme game, brownie points for trying that. Audio is nice too matches with your theme. I think you can improve the game by making it a bit more fast paced it took some time for it to get started. Having to sit and watch it download and stuff. Anyway good try , best of luck.
Hi glad to see you got a lot of people playing your game. Good to get positive feedback. I like the game , nice concept and I think nailed the theme. Is it just me or other people are also finding gnome dying voice a bit irritating haha. Shooting aim takes a bit of practice. Overall good game and great to see you still have it in you to go back and fix the bugs. I don't feel like touching mine after 3 days of intensely looking at same screen :)
its a nice little game, but the game is not that challenging and seem to have a mind of its own... which can be good if that is what you are aiming for. Graphics are nice and everything is put together nicely. Good job!!
an html version of the game would be appreciated. Its difficult to download a game and play in so many games. IT looks nice from art work prospective.
artwork is really nice, looks very polished. Animations are nice, a death animation would be useful, otherwise feels like game glitched out. Stage design is great. Good job , in game audio would have been cool.
hey this is the first tower defense game I played. Really cool, though it has two themes going on in same game, tower defense as well as task management. Other than that art work is really clean, audio effects are nice. Probably make tower defense challenging would up the excitement level.
Hey nice game, You put a lot of effort into stage design and the game mechanics work well with your game. Graphics can be one area where you can do something different, or use a different minimalistic style.
hey cool graphics and audio. had fun playing this shoot at em game. Good to see your overall theme works fine.
Hi... congrats on submission. Game is nice, like the graphics. Its for a mood when you are a bit relaxed. well done
I tried the link seem to be working fine - https://blackarck.itch.io/dogsignal
thanks @shugor, can you please try accessing it again ad let me know if that works. would be great help thanks
thanks @gal-afik I was contemplating both the options at design phase. This way players speed remains constant and only variable is the speed at which arrows can be spawned, if movement is smooth i had to play around with what is the optimum speed vs arrow spawn speed, so cut few corners in that :)
ok just finished playing the game, one feedback is the mini games ends very abruptly. You are not done finishing one and the other one takes over. Music transition also does not heps as single music keeps on playing. Mini games looks polished but they are hardly challenging. good try !!
cute game, aesthetics and design of the game is really nice. Also music totally compliments the style. Good job on the game.
The game is really nice, i mean it has a cuteness to it. The artowrk is consistent and works with the overall theme you aiming for. The gameplay though is a bit slow. Typing is not a challenge, they are like mini challenges which could have been a bit challenging to make gameplay immersive ... or this could have been muli task maintainence game. Anyway something to think about.
hi, the game graphics are spoton for the theme. The gameplay is a bit slow as the mazes are too long without anything happening for a long time. I believe you can make the game more fun by adding an objective or time limit or something like that. Audio will definitely improve the xperience of this game.
One of the best games i played here. Well done !! graphics is amazing and smooth gameplay. Jump can be adjusted a bit as its easy initially but i am knit picking here. Enjoyed it :)
Cool game, i was not able to win played couple of times so a bit challenging to start with. I feel like the game is dictating what action i should take next rather than having a free will in the game if you know what i mean. Else good job on art work and music.
nice fun little game, can't play too long as the dots messes up your mind :) maybe its just me. I can't able to save myself from blue dots what are they suppose to be. Anyways good attempt.
hey very neat game, i really like the graphics and animation is smooth. clearly a lot of work went into it and its worth it.
Game play buttons are not traditional, they should get highlighted when mouse over is there. Its hard to determine whether you are suppose to click them, I mean doesn't take long to figure it out but that will help. Same goes for your graphics, all are in same tone/color maybe the ones that doesn't require skipping can be in different tone (background) whereas where you have to skip should be in different tone. Nice and smooth animation well done on that. You can use more elements in the game except for just one character to make it more immersive. Overall a good try !!
I really like the game's minimalistic style. Its a hard game partly because the turtle is a bit slow.
game is nicely put together. its a bit slow paced ( not my genre) style of game so i didn't finished it. But from the start it looks like you are leading the player in a predefined task instead of us choosing who to question etc.
hi... lovely lil game. Art style sorta 1 pixel design is really nice. I would add a lil bit more animated sprites to make it more interesting ( since there is only one character). Also the control are a little difficult to get use to. I was not able to lift up the guy from one block. All in all good game.
very nice game.... i like the graphics and the shooting is precise enough to enjoy the game. like the special effects in there.
Game is really nice. Graphics are sound effects are spot on. Small little puzzle is what you need after playing lots of action packed games. I spend a good amount of time playing this, only complaint is the gas extractor is wobbly sometimes it will take an item sometime it will not but after a while it will. This does not make any sense maybe mechanics need a bit of tweaking or its a bug?
hi... game is a nice one. Gameplay is exiting and you get involved quickly. Additional obstruction makes it for a good challenge. Art one is nice and music is well put together. something to increase difficulty level as we progress in the game would make it more interesting.
Art work is impressive, so are the sounds well done on those. Different twist to dungeon style of gaming.
very cool game. Graphics work is amazing. so is audio. Game play is a bit challenging for my taste also lots of things to click on the screen. But very nice theme overall
i think menu and some instructions will really help this game. Art work is nice, try adding audio next .
very nice little game. There are a lot of plant feeding game this time :) , glad to seen a better looking version. Art work is very impressive and so is audio. Things get monotonus very quickly thats the only problem with game play. Maybe think about how we can make it more exiting over time.
hey nice short game, seems like you are in a rush. The game animation , sounds are really nice. Good color theme too. Had fun playing it. its a bit difficult to play though. Maybe its just me but I was never able to figure out where the gates are :).
okay .... graphics could have really been improved. They are just plane images moving around, takes the fun out of game. I was not able to save myself from zombies and die pretty quickly. There is no death animation my guy just died from a little distance , so probably game mechanics need a relook. 'Audio is really cool !! Good attempt
hi glad to see game by solo dev !! Game looks neat and good work on game mechanism. Gameplay was fun its a small arcade style game with nice attempt at vfx.
Hey nice story spinning, would love to see some static graphics just to bring that oomph of a graphic novel.
I couldn't pass the first stage but congrats on completing the game. Nice little user interface menu and audio adds to the gameplay. Motion and animation goes well with the game. Some instructions and tools tips will aid in understanding the game faster. Best of luck !!
Hey, good job on completing the game solo. Graphics animations are good and lot of graphic elements which makes this game looks different. Different animation style of enemies and better fx can make this pop out more.
hi, Congratulations on completing a game, as other people mentioned some instructions will be helpful and some tool tips when clicking on the robots will definitely add to gameplay. Graphics and animations are spot on for a mini game. Its a nice little game which can be enhanced.
Hi, there congrats on submitting a game. Looks like you created all that art work in a short span of time. Though art style is unique but gameplay is purely based on luck which m=prevents you from trying again. Maybe involve a bit of luck or let player feel they are in control will make it more interesting. Best of luck in expanding this in future.
Hey there, congrats on completing a game. Initially when the game loads it doesn't show the basket takes a while to scroll down to view it completely. The art style is nice as everything fits together, its a bit dark though some light graphics will help. Glad you were able to do the audio as well.
Hey cool game, points for innovative idea of harvesting dreams. The gameplay is a combo of both mouse and keyboards so that gets a bit tricky to handle. Sometimes creating the loop around the dream can be difficult it has to be perfect ending I guess ? Anyways good effort, animation and graphics !!
Points for art style if developed during this jam. Game controls are fun and precise which is a plus point. The enemies can be a bit more aggressive to make it more challenging. would love to see more environment !!
Hi, good job in completing a game, even that is an achievement :). I like the game but the gameplay would be fun if it will get faster or tricky as time progresses. Nice animation and color theme.
Points for innovation and new control, interesting game and vfx. My feedback game play is monotonous and adding dynamic elements in the game will help make things interesting.
Hi @unentokku, Thanks for playing. They shouldn't but sometimes they spawn again in same place :), I was surprised to see that as well. Somehow jams don't leave you with enough time to handle such scenarios, I personally didn't restarted the game as it was happening too soon. Need to find a sweet spot as to how long the critters should stay alive before hurting your health.
Hi, good to see you completed the game, solo competitor like me !! Game play was easy and easy to grasp the objective. Game play can be made more fun by making it challenging over time or introducing new enemies. Good effort on atleast completing all aspect of game like UI/Animation/sound
Hi, congrats on making a wonderful good feel game. The music is soothing, the art colors are warm. Although the game deals with death so that is sort of contradictory with that. Nonethless it was fun to see how things will turn up. Gameplay wise , my suggestion would be to add more dynamics to make it different everytime.
Hey, congrats on completing the game!! This is the first of its type with a bit fun controls and mechanism. Points for innovation for sure. Though game play is not entirely smooth as its hard to visualize how the worm will move. Art style is consistent so thats a good.
Hey good job on setting up the Itch.io page, you really get into the game with the theme. I am gonna take inspiration for that too. Though art style could be improved specially for players ( rather than balloons :) ), also for the controls player is sliding more than you would want them too. Maybe figuring out a sweet spot for that?
Cute lil game
game was fun to play with , but I couldn't figure out how to grow my rovers. The enemies swarmed like anything. It feels like a base building game. would love to see more of it.
Hey good job on completing the game. Poits for animation, particle effects. I wasn't left with time for that. Game mechanics is fun but maybe enhancement in terms of enemies and weapons will make it more interesting. Also does the game gets difficult as time passes on or you reach a particular score?
Hi, Congrats in posting a successful and good looking game. The graphics and animation is spot on !! Well done on that. Rest the game is pretty simple, gameplay gets monotonous soon, maybe you can do something fun with same assets. But like the implementation of the big field.
Hey congratulations on finishing the game. The User Interface elements are designed well, though the game moves at a little slow pace for me. Its a unique game so points for that. Color theme is nice and subtle and so is music
Hi congrats on completing the game. The first of this kind I am playing in this JAM. So points for innovation. World feels a bit empty to begin with, I know time was a constraint but some small animals and animated bushes will bring this to life. Kudos on completing lil animation too feels better with animation
hey, congrats on completing the game. The game looks cool. Sometimes the button gets stuck ( not sure the events are getting stuck), have to refresh the whole page as restart doesn't works at times. Game difficulty is good ( maybe some way to give option for multiple difficulty level?). also enemies come from random position so yeah challenging for sure :)
hi.. very good art style for game, specially the environment creation. Gameplay is a bit confusing to start with , some tips would help. Also the hosting website is very distracting, maybe switching to Itch ?
Hi , glad to see a complete game again. Good user interface and little animations surely help. Some instructions and hints when hovering over the buttons will aid in faster grasping the game concepts. Good color theme
