Always great to see PICO-8 games. Add me to the list of people who love the breathing animation. Also, I thought it was cool how when I first saw a little 10 pixel burglar of a different color, I could just tell that obviously was wearing armor because he walked slower. I like that kind of attention to detail.
High five! I made a paperwork game too.
The sound effects are great and made me really feel productive. I like the art too. The grays felt really gray. After doing a legit playthrough of really trying, I tried to just fill whatever in the forms, who's gonna know? Didn't work, I guess the boss is watching. Wouldn't be much of a game if it was that easy, I know. Oh, session 8 was a nice twist.
Absolutely charming art and music. I had some problems with the controls but I can't stay mad at this game.
I love the pixel art but I just cannot handle the slipperiness.
Really neat movement mechanics. Art and sound are wonderful. Game overall is very polished. Terrific game!
I like the concept. The haunting music added to the mood. It was very difficult. I didn't mind the challenge so much as I disliked how much of the challenge came from the character being difficult to control.
Great game. Great art. Great music. I had a little trouble lining the monster up with the bridges sometimes but overall the controls were good. Kind of hungry for pizza now.
I love the palette swapping effect even though I know it's pointless.
What a cool idea! I had no sound in firefox on windows 7. Got it working in chrome though.
I like the idea, but before I "got it" I was expecting to whittle the heroes down with sheer numbers.
Great title.
Great game! It does a lot with a simple mechanic. Now this is how you make a hard game without making it too frustrating. Just let me try again right away. Yeah! I like how the blue buttons also work as a kind of checkpoint too.
And add me to the list of people who loves how the corpses are still affected by physics.
So good!
That was fun! Better than Diablo.
Great game! I love how the game rules built up slowly as you learned new words. It would be cool to see more done with this concept.
Great twist on a simon-style game. I had a lot of trouble until I figured out the subtle hint of the flute direction.
Great writing. Loved the art. Feels super polished. What a great game!
Really impressive especially for a Pico-8 game. Played through to the end, got all three orbs, and loved it.
I love the deep parallax background that makes you feel like the desert goes on forever. The big chunky particle effects are great too. I did not know you had to hit the other cars with nitro boosts until I read the other comments here. I was just trying to carefully push them into rocks at normal speed and it was not going well.
I wish there was a polish category so I could give this game 5 stars in it.
Great concept and the progression of the idea as you go through the levels kept things interesting. I liked the boss level.
RIP BIRD
I really love the pixel art in this one. Gameplay-wise it feels like a way better version of fruit ninja. No really, I mean that in a good way.
I love PICO-8 games! I really loved the idea here but it was too difficult for me.
The narration really helped set the mood.
Would have appreciated a few sound effects for the menus and battles.
I want to give this 6 stars for theme.
Add me to the list of people who love the announcers. The art and music are wonderful. It felt like my guys were bumbling around a lot of the time but I think that's that's part of the charm and it was still really fun.
I loved the design of the monster and I loved the music. This is a cool concept. I think playing at 3:30 AM may have added to the mood for me. Gotta agree with the people who said it was frustrating when the target appeared on the far left though.
ES6! Nice! I like the art.
Cool concept! At first it seemed like it was too easy to just hide behind your charge shield whenever you needed to refill your bars, but when the small cyan enemies showed up they were a good threat that gave me a reason to not just hold the shield button down.
I think I would have liked to see the bullets inherit a bit of the character's momentum, because firing when moving forward made my shots feel extra slow.
I hope you keep working on this. I think it will look great when you have more time to finish all the graphics.
The art is beautiful. The animations are fluid and controls are tight. On top of all that the combat is fun and tactical. What a great game!
Great soundtrack! Took a bit of practice to and figuring out how the 'jump to the center' worked but I eventually managed to get to level 2.
Great sound.
Congrats on releasing your game! Jam version could use more depth but I like the progress you're making on the post-jam already. Keep it up!
Loved the headlines and the choices. Laughed a lot.
I really liked how you told a story with the little pickup icons. I did not like the extremely unforgiving collision detection and constantly moving camera.
I love the art and sound effects and overall the whole package is very polished.
Small detail but I feel like maybe Time Attack should have been the main game and "Start" should have been called Endless Mode or something.
Also, not sure if it this was just me but when I started playing I thought red would be stronger. Took a while to figure out I wanted to go for green.
Great twist on mini-golf. Loved the music!
Really good! I loved the art for all the different boats.
The hunter/hunted mechanic really makes for a tense game! It was a fun chase. It didn't happen often but once I had Theseus teleport literally on top of me and it felt cheap. Another time I lost him completely on the other side of the map and it was too easy. I think his movement needs to be balanced more.
I also think it would be cool if the maze was procedurally generated each time instead of the same maze to mix up the gameplay a bit as I got a bit used to the same maze every time. I guess knowing the labyrinth makes sense for a minotaur though.
I really love the look of the random ships.
This is great! Awesome idea and you really nailed the mood with the black-and-white film setting.
Art is quite nice and I love the gameplay!
Fun game! The art is great and the movement works really well.
6 stars for mood.
Add me to the list of people who love the rawr sound.
I love this game. Just everything.
Six stars for audio, this is amazing for 48 hours! Downloaded the soundtrack.
This was pretty fun and I like your take on the snake concept. Cool idea!
For some reason this reminds me of the classic pc game 'battalion' (search for googelon). Of course this is much much faster paced. Really fun!
So fun! It felt like there was a nice balance of risk/reward in going for the hearts, combo kills, etc. Wanna divebomb guys don't wanna crash. Great game.
I love everything about this.
