Show me your more experimental/different games and I'll rate them!

Walking simulators, story-driven experiences, maybe something that’s more focused on graphics or music than gameplay. Even on Desktop-only. I’ll try it!

I made a game a heavily psychological/experimental game. Everything down to the engine was either recompiled, modified or done by me entirely. The storm is inside your head, and calm is just a memory. https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973693

It looks like it runs on a raytraced-PS1!

I wanna try more experiences like this. Show me yours and I’ll give it a shot. Will download it, try it, and give it a (usually longer and more in-depth) review. Desktop games, specially those more experimental, deserve more love ❤️

You literally described my game :) https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973690

I'll try yours a bit later

There we go!

11/10 melted my poor GPU (but felt glorious in 2K)

My game’s pretty experimental with Godot’s physics engine and an unusual mix between two distant game genres:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2962784

Storm Shelter is a physics-based mix between Tetris and autobattlers where you have to build a house for the Guy to defend him from a bizarre storm featuring a variety of storm-themed enemies

you really did surprise me with this one.

(played, to wave 5, and rated. gameplay surprised me a lot!)

Hi! I'm interested in story-driven games too, here's our entry: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2963843

after playing i put that mixtape and just let it sink in.

ace of spades/10, quite a ride for me.

Our game has a weird, comedic, unique style and gets more and more chaotic and stressful over time: https://jorava.itch.io/bittermiff-family-dinner

*Note: Some of the audio doesn't work in Firefox, but works fine in Chrome, Opera and the desktop version.*

FramebufferSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

[audio worked fine on Edge for Windows]

I think your game has something that’s very unintended: it aims to be something, but it shines bright on a whole different genre.

take my 5 stars, this one is a brainworm of a game. blursed in the absolute best way possible. i’d have this one in a window in a kinito pet-like game.

lemme be clear: i loved it. a lot.

ELZIBEHTSubmitted55 days ago(+1)

pretty much exactly my project. weird/pretty visuals mixed with confessional prose. wish i could check out your project, sounds very up my alley (and similar to my game lol), but i'm on mac :/

here's mine: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2970674

FramebufferSubmitted55 days ago

…I see exactly what you mean about the game. After this I’ll probably do a “Director’s Cut” of my game and do a Mac build.

It was so similar even the music and the wallpaper were similar to what I have on my PC right now. And it struck a chord that I… did not expect to see here.

this is the trip of all time.

I remember playing Prenomition last weekend, it didn't make sense to me when I started but eventually a lot of things fell into place except for the vase xD

lmk what you think of our game :) you can say we experimented with PS1 styled graphics and atmosphere with this one

Even in an empty house there’s something, even if it’s a plan just chillin. (It’s more of a technical decision, but it’s nice that all that remains is just a lil plant).

Your game… wow. I left a whole scroll of a review. You see there my opinion, but overall, it is daaaaaamn good.

Split82Submitted55 days ago

I guess mine is a little bit experimental. It's a puzzle game without an action button :)

I always have this issue with more experimental games where there’s a balance between abstraction and concreteness; not being understandable or being too blatant.

Honestly, you struck that balance pretty well.

Really liked it!

GoldMusicVaultSubmitted55 days ago

Hey! I've played and reviewed 25 games so far, but I'm still in need of more ratings for 2 of the games that I wrote the music for in this game jam .

(I did the music for 3 games for this jam, and luckily one of them now has more than 20 reviews!)

Please could you play and rate these 2? They are not experimental like you asked for, but I did write the music for them, and I would really appreciate feedback on the music.

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2973050

Also, feel free to check out replays of my livestreams too :)

FramebufferSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

there we go, both of them.

I will admit… between those two, the music was the common denominator of the good redeeming qualities of both games. Well mixed, little details like a bit of stereo bouncing, good mixing (something I completely failed to do in my game lol), no weird pops or crackles, and nice instrumentation.

You could tell they both had someone dedicated to sound and this certainly improves the quality of the game as a whole.

GoldMusicVaultSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

Thanks so much! Very kind words, and it means a lot to me :)

AryabodhiSubmitted54 days ago

you can play and rate our little space game her https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2974025 and i will return the favor

FramebufferSubmitted54 days ago

Hi! just did:

apart from being a bit lost in space, I had quite a nice experience! Some hints and it would be solid. Nice game though, really stunning.

I would consider our game to be experimental in the sense that it combines elements of overcooked with a concept like Crazy Taxi. Also the first food truck game where the intent is that you actually chuck the sandwich at your customers in a sandwich drive-by.

Would really appreciate if you gave it a go!

Your game looks really really cool, going to try it out now :)

Cheers!

FramebufferSubmitted54 days ago

HI! I remember yours! I did it a week ago. The review is a little buried, but I did try it! Had some control issues but the humour was just what I like.

and the little sandwich is just too adorable <3

crumpetsnteaSubmitted54 days ago(+1)

Oh awesome! My bad haha. Thanks so much for playing it :) We really appreciate it!

WindyFengSubmitted54 days ago

Leave comment on my game https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-12/rate/2968707, I will sure check your game back before the deadline.

FramebufferSubmitted54 days ago

I saw a cat and you got me. No lie, that was the single best marketing strategy you can make on a game.

Rated and those graphics were just so adorable and cute I loved them!

Qbit64Submitted54 days ago

My game involves random room generation but its a vertical platformer.

here is my game, a horror game where you take care of a house for 5 days. You must obey unsettling house owner's rules to survive. Obey or face the unknown. This is my first Brackeys game jam:

https://omargames.itch.io/strange-demands

make sure to leave feedback as this is kinda my first game. Enjoy.

JJBEATSSubmitted54 days ago

My game is a visual novel called KOOKIE. Please give me your thoughts. It is much appreciated!
