Streamed this game tonight. Art is great, felt the controls were a little wonky. Love the giant crab. But hey....where's the cows?!

Streamed this game tonight

I'll start off by saying Im giving this one a really high rating Star Rating in all the categories because theres a great game here, with attacking, deflecting, grappling, wall running, even a freaking SLOW MO

That being said, I couldn't jive with this game, I felt constrained by the stamina system. I wanted to keep moving, slashing jumping wall running, but everything was so limiting for a game that just wants to breathe. I think only the slow mo should be tied to a cooldown maybe the block and everything else should be free wheeling. I would love to try this game again without the stamina system and just have fun with the movement and the slashing with no restraints.

Streamed this one tonight. Love the wacky 3d enemies, main character looks great, sharp visual fidelity on everything. Some fun little tricky jumps but also some tough to see areas where you dont know if you can jump in that place or not. Enemy can also shoot through walls and sometimes enemies will hit you or not hit randomly.

Punishing if you can't get the true ending in time, but it is on theme!

Streamed this one tonight, love the cute little graphics, had some troubles progressing though, maybe just my error and tiredness

Streamed this one tonight, can anyone beat my high score?!

Fast and fun, love the jumping on roof tops. Everything kind of blurs into the background and it's tough to see enemies and projectiles however and sometimes I thought I was swiping correctly but it may have just been user error?

This one is a complete runners project though, nice to see finished gamejam projects and had fun playing this one.

Great little stealth game here. Love games that have an ending and something to complete.

It was fun juking the bad guys and making some jumps leaps and rolls. Love the character animation, 3d I think?

I was hoping it would be skifree and it was, great little concept. Any plans to flesh this one out and add the yeti?

Streamed this game tonight.

Some good bullet shooting fun. Lots of enemy sprties, great looking mecha samurai and a boss to boot.

I like gamejams that have a clear defined game play loop and an ending you can get to, always feels satisfying to beat.

Keep it up and join the bullethell game jam next time you'd probably enjoy it!

Quick stream of this game tonight so I could get lots of games in. First, love the title , clever.

Lots of different unique colorful enemies here. Also never seen a game like this before, made in love.js?

I got bugged on the spear guys a couple times so that was as far as I was able to make it

Quick little stream of this tonight. I'm just solo so not much I could do. I'll have a friend over this week to give it another try and I'll write some impressions on the itch page when I can.

Cute frogs though

Tried to stream this game tonight! Unfortunately there was no way to get OBS to cooperate and I couldn't get the game on stream for whatever reason. This game looks incredibly sweet though, unfortunately no time now but I plan on playing this after the jam, and I'll leave another comment on the itch page with my impressions.

Quick stream of this tonight so I could get through as many games as I could

Game is very similar to the one we published, different attack positions. Seems good for the first level, a shame some things broke for the next two, keep going on future jams!

Streamed this game briefly today

Love the aesthetics, cute character designs, great intro cinematics, smooth movement

Hope this can be utilised for another game in the future, good luck :)

Streamed this game at the very end tonight

Fun little puzzle game, go fast to serve stuff. Would like to see some penalties if you miss a plate and I think gameplay could become very fun and hectic with a change like that!

One Last Swing jam comments · Posted in One Last Swing jam comments

Streamed this game tonight and thanks a lot for playing and streaming our game as well!

Haha that was fun, this game ABSOLUTELY owned me and I don't know why, it gave me more trouble than any other game in the game and I think it's I just got so tired I couldn't comprehend the R+P+S controls in my head anymore and I kept screwing up.

I WILL play and stream this game again and WILL get further, after a goodnights rest.

This looks like a classic MSDOS game and sounds a lot like one too. Had fun doing long jumps over the crabs. The game was well balanced with increasing difficulty and new level designs.

The absolute stand outs are the intro splash screen and ending splash screen

How were these done, I have to know, is it colored pencil and uploaded?

Danse Macrab jam comments · Posted in Danse Macrab jam comments

Streamed this game tonight, I don't know how much is finished or able to be done but I think I ran into a lot of errors, is there an update at all or was I doing it wrong, I can see there was some development issues.

If there are any changes to this one, let me know I'd love to give it another shit, the splash screen is really great looking, and looks like some interesting rpg basics here that I'd love to try out if theres an update.

Are we going to see this one on iOS? Looks like it's already finished and a full game to ship!

Cool controls, cool atmosphere, cool music, cool presentation, great level design. This game has it all not much more to be said, let's see it in the app store.

Streamed this game tonight, sorry it was at the end and was getting a bit tired. But love the presentation of this one. The color switching to b/w, the blood splatter and the archer AI.

The fun factors is off the charts on the movement as aspect. I loved speeding around, double jumping wall jumping. The game felt funnest when I just tried to avoid the the homing shurikens and get to the boss, I may have swore in anger a few times while streaming, but I was legit enjoying the movement in the game.

Boss one shotted me a couple times, but if you do another game in the future definitely lean into the off the wall speed and parkour!

Shadow of the Moon jam comments · Posted in Shadow of the Moon jam comments

Thanks for DMing, played the game tonight, was a lot of fun.
Aesthetics are great, the slashing combat is good and you get some nice range on your sword which I like. Heath and Healing is well realised and the game felt very fair and balanced which I love.

The small little puzzles everywhere is the big highlight. Lots of great jumps to make (that I was bad at first, but once I unlocked the flow made the game really enjoyable). Theres A LOT of fun little jumps in this game that progress in difficulty and really made for some great platforming.

And then theres all the fun little small touches that are here and there, I love the block pushing, collecting tiny orbs from chests, dialogue trees, the crossbow that shoots an arrow upward when defeated.

All in all a great package, looking forward to more from you guys.

Streamed this game tonight, it of course kicked my ass

The audio is great, love the music mixing.

The visuals were striking and blew up my corneas at first, but I love the overall presentation aspect of this one.

It's of course hard as heck. I was finally able to hit some enemies, but didn't see their health change at all, maybe I didn't do it correctly, bug or not implemented.

And finally, the weird little lore going on, it's awesome, keep it up on that aspect!

Edit: just read the comment you made on a different post saying theres a window of opportunity to hit after you stun the enemy, damn I totally missed that. I'll probably give this game another shot someday and see if I can beat an enemy!

What can be said. This is the pinnacle of gamejams

Unique idea, cute graphics, great sound, balanced gameplay that starts easy enough then ramps up in difficulty. I almost swallowed a filling gritting my teeth trying to get through this one, what an adventure!

For some games, I write long paragraphs, but for this one, I'll just leave it at that and call this one a Perfect 5 Star, put this on the Nintendo Switch.

BLEEDING EDGE jam comments · Replied to HanYolo666 in BLEEDING EDGE jam comments

hahaha, I've been waiting for this comment, you caught me. Yes the main character was supposed to be recolored into something a bit more on theme, but I just didn't get the opportunity to do it in the tight scheduling. I had a pink and blue theme for him potentially, but just didn't get around to it. And you pointed out exactly why the pants were those colors, just easier for me to animate at the time

Overall one of the stand outs of the jam. Great visuals, great mechanics with jumping and cutting down trees to forge paths.

For visuals, great opening cinematic, fantastic paralaxed buildings and landscapes in the background. Trees that have leaves that go transparent after being cut down.

The level layout is the biggest winner here. It's what someone could expect from a fully realised and released game, theres jumps to be made when getting attacked, trees to cut down when you're under enemy pressure and a variety of small puzzling that gets more and more challenging as you progress through the level. Art and animation is top notch. The run is purposeful, well animated and has lots of weight.

Comments on what to improve as far as animation go might be a sword swing that's as dynamic as the run is.

My new guilty pleasure is knocking archers out of trees.

Look forward to any jams from you guys in the future.

Bushi Yoroi Maki - The Black Magnum Chronicles jam comments · Posted in Bushi Yoroi Maki - The Black Magnum Chronicles jam comments

I streamed this game today, it's toptier. A full fledged storyline, multiple characters and biggest of all a full fledged combat system! Wow this one looks like it took a ton of work.

I was able to play about an hour and finish the first area ( was a little slow because I was streaming it), I might go back to get the additional areas after the jam is done, for now I'll just say this one is really great.

Some areas of confusion however come from you don't know which new attacks you'll get on the stance change.

For example the Blue icon might be shown for a stance change, but the primary attack in that stance is the Green one. it could be a bit more helpful to show the player which stance will give which sort of attack types.

Congrats on the great game

[By]MoonLight jam comments · Posted in [By]MoonLight jam comments

Streamed this today, think you were watching. Loved the concept, great execution of a fighting game. Weight of the characters felt good. I may have shortchanged the game a bit by playing with Keyboard instead of controller but the controls still felt nice and responsive regardless.

All the mechanics are here which is great, dodge, parry, stance change, special moves in addition to a unique health bar.

Fighting games are something I'm probably the worst however, so I can't give any in depth notes about how well the combat flows, or balance or anything to that matter. So hope someone can give you some insight into those aspects. From myself I can still say I enjoyed the nice package presented

Rise of the Tamurai jam comments · Posted in Rise of the Tamurai jam comments

Thanks for watching the stream today. As I said this is probably in my top 3 favorite games of the jam. Visuals , stylisation and fun factor are a big hit. Cool small details like having the enemy stuck onto your sword. And finally the big one being the AI was really impressive how they moved to avoid your ranged attacks.

I got as far as 7/9 if I remember correctly, let me know if theres any updates I'll definitely check this one out again to try to get to at least the last level or beat it

Streamed your game last night, outstanding visuals and I dropped a 4 star on the audio because it was just so good, listened to the soundcloud during the game

your concept and storytelling was great, seems you were pressed for time because I'd love to see a few more levels get added in before the progression to the poetry.

Looks like you had a great idea for this one and look forward to some of your future stuff, definitely a highlight of the jam so far

Highlights for me were the music and the cool light lens flare in the first level

Attack was too short and the shell guys were too tough for me to advance, but liked the presentation overall
