[GOOB]

Fun and interesting game concept here

[Tracie's Pursuit]

I should have read the description first. I tried over and over to look for a sequence to fill up the affection meter without doing things that make Pico suspicious, haha.

It makes sense in a way, Tracie doesn't really deserve a different ending than the ones she gets here.

But I love everything about this game. It makes good contrast of lighthearted cuteness and psychotic violence. The art style and tone are perfectly done. You've really got the feel for Pico's world and the characters in it. And you're great at imitating the style of old flash games in a way that is visually appealing while still being rough around the edges in a charming way.

[SLUMMONER]

I don't like this game genre, but this is a funny parody and very well made for being made in only 3 days.

[PunchKoban]

Interesting puzzle game. I like the concept a lot. The difficulty ramps up much faster than I would like.

[ÜberFisch]

Well, it basically is just Asteroids. But you very quickly get surrounded by enemies with no real way to escape without taking damage, limited by the speed of your rotation. This is a good solid start to a game that could be improved with refinement.

Thank you for playing and the feedback. I updated the game so that the turning is a bit faster. I'm thinking about releasing a version of this game with all of the things I wasn't able to implement during the jam so stay tuned!

[Inn & Out]

Love the early 80s arcade game aesthetic! I really like the cabinet art and the pixel art, and you even have the test screens!

The gameplay is maybe a little too authentic to the era. Could use some quality of life improvements. Having to get a running start to get any distance out of your jump is clunky, and though accurate to early 80s games, I think it would be better to have more control over the player character's momentum in the air. The enemies come out of the elevators very fast, it would give the player more time to react if they waited just a moment longer before stepping out. Also the screen size is big and the sprites are very small, making it kind of hard to see what is going on.

Notakin responds:

That's some amazing suggestions, considering these changes in the future.

[Space Girls Can't Swim]

Pretty cute little lighthearted VN. I usually don't play these kinds of games because most of them are boring, but I'm glad I gave it a shot, because it was short and funny, which I like.

[Palm Cracker]

I have a tip for anybody like me who is uninterested by the smartypants puzzles. Just click on "Neko" and you can play with a cute kitty instead.

Deklaration responds:

valid strategy.

[Mazza]

Basic platformer game, with poop and dicks. The level design was a bit uninspired and it wasn't really funny to me, but I like the art style, and overall it's surprisingly well put-together for a parody game.

Chris responds:

I try not to half ass things. Even if it is just an elaborate dick and fart joke

[Candle in the Woods]

Not too bad for being made in only 5 days. Did you make all the art and music yourself? If so that's really impressive!

The art style is nice and I liked the plot twist. Not too much to the gameplay, but it was nice to see some original concepts with the candle mechanic. I appreciate the walking speed being fast, but it's just a tad too fast, I did accidentally bump into blocks or reset buttons a few times I didn't intend to. I noticed that the pushable blocks go through each other which seemed like an oversight. I wasn't a fan of having to wander through a maze while steadily running out of fuel; it was more of an annoyance than a fun kind of tension, especially when utilizing my only means of self defense made it so I ran out of fuel and could not progress through the maze.

I have to give this only 3 stars, because it's solid, but I wouldn't really recommend it to anyone. But it shows promise as a demonstration of your skills in a wide range of disciplines and I look forward to seeing what you make in the future.

ArtistGamerGal responds:

Yes, all the music and art was made by me! Thanks for the honest feedback, it really helps.
