Holy heck, Ignited Entry is absolutely Jordan's best game yet! The story is so captivating and the whole thing flows so well. This guy is an artist at creating a cohesive and immersive atmosphere. We just can't even, it's heckin' great! Just play it! Play it and you will understand.

And when you do, say hi to Steve for us! We love that wily rascal.

This game was a lot of fun to play! We really liked how it added new elements with each new area. The three difficulty levels are very well balanced so you can challenge yourself with each one as you get better and faster. Definitely has replay value. Good, cohesive level design, too. Keep creating!!!

HAAAARRRRRDDDDDDD!!!! But obviously, we loved this game. There are still some tweaks that need to be made to the position indicator, but the handling is much improved from the last time we played. The chairs are a whole lot easier to maneuver. The music and the artwork is still top shelf stuff and we absolutely love the characters. 

From a UI perspective, it would be best to have all selectable characters on one screen, especially for two players, because if one player moves the selector to the next page, it moves both players selectors to the next page.

It's definitely nice that the power ups regenerate now. It's also a welcome improvement that running out of energy doesn't automatically end the player's race for the duration. 

The last critique has to do with the difficulty. Easy mode is VERY HARD. A little work on balancing would make this game much more enjoyable for the casual or novice player (or even those of us who have been gaming for 40 years, kawww). 

Keep up the great work on this one! It's definitely one of our most memorable games played

This was a VERY CHALLENGING but very entertaining game. The gameplay itself was fun, though sometimes the handling could be frustrating. Some tweaks on the controls could easily resolve that issue. The music was really cute and we liked listening to it.... up until the point it stopped playing. But until that point, this game had a variety of songs a lot of games in this genre do without, and that is definitely one of this game's strengths. The variance in the levels was nice and the pace of introducing new obstacles and platform types was good. 

The camera, however, makes it very difficult to judge the spatial relationships of platforms, objects, and obstacles. The ability to look around or maybe just a better camera placement and level visual design would definitely be helpful, unless that's what you're going for as part of the challenge, in which case it certainly accomplishes the task of forcing the player to adapt. 

Overall, this is a game with a ton of promise and we'd love to see the developer carry this to completion. 

Also, it would be really fun to be able to customize the duck with colors or hats and scarves or something to that effect.

We're going to be streaming C.H.A.I.R. Champions and DAVE the DUCK tonight starting at 7:30 PM Central Time!

Will we win the race? Will our duck fly? Will we use the toilet? FIND OUT!

This game is JUST SO FUN! The dialogue is funny, the character design is adorable, and the gameplay is pure mayhem! Drop egg-sploding eggs, blast enemies with cotton candy, turn your butt into a flamethrower, and solve the mystery of the missing animals!  This isn't just a horde survival game. There's story and objectives that keep you engaged. AND POSSUMS!!!!

We wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone who likes fun. And if you don't like fun? 

Well.... SUCK EGGS, FOOLS!!!!

Hi everyone! We're a daddy/daughter streaming channel with a mission to showcase the creative work of small and independent videogame developers and to help them succeed. Together, Ravendove (The Father) and his Squab hope to build a community of gamers and viewers who share the love of gaming, indie-gaming in particular, get some quality father/daughter bonding time, and have a great time doing it. We stream on Twitch, Rumble, and YouTube every Friday night at 7:30 PM Central Time (CST/CDT) and we hope to see you there! Looking forward to another successful Feedback Quest and seeing the progress of all the amazing devs out there creating something from their own wills!

Interesting looking test build. And the map is surprisingly large. Cooking up something specific? It's been a while since we've seen something new from you.

We had a lot of fun with this demo. The music blends really well with the environments and the visuals. The further you get, the more you get to see and the more of the song you get to hear, which is a great reward and incentive to git gud. Can't wait to see the full game!

This is an interesting concept. We tried throwing the small asteroids and ended up bonking ourselves on the head and exploding our ship. Also noticed there's no momentum for the asteroids so they can't be thrown. Once you let go, they just stay in the spot where they were let go. Still fairly fun. The spaceship momentum is what one would expect in zero G, so that's good.

This was a cute and fun game. It was kind of a slow burn but the dialogue made for some goofy fun and the boss battle was nuts. We really liked the "cheating" menu and the sound effects. "BLAT!" Also, that upbeat music will now be stuck in our heads forever.  For things to improve, we'd just say know when to wrap up the talking parts or build in some play to go with the dialogue. Other than that, this was really good for your first "finished" game and we're looking forward to the one you make "for" your daughter!  Keep it up Gary The Enchanter!!!

Not sure how to get in touch with Gary the Enchanter but we're going to be playing Blonk's Adventure tonight at 7:30 PM Central on https://twitch.tv/heckinthewhy!!!

We played an earlier version of this game and really had a great time with it.  Since we've followed the devlogs and have seen the updates, wethink we can still give this an informed review. The story was intriguing and left us wanting to learn more and we had fun with the characters. The artwork was good but with more polish it could be better, however it really did draw us into the world and presented an isolated and creepy atmosphere that gave a sense of anxiety, which is certainly what it was going for. 

The controls were a little difficult to figure out in some cases, though that didn't prevent us from achieving objectives or playing and enjoying the game. To improve this aspect, in addition to the inventory changes that have already been made, more clear descriptions of the controls, for example changing the interaction modes, could help make the interface more user friendly.  

Some of the audio samples could use some volume leveling, to make them seem more natural. Other than that, the sound in this game is good and we especially like the squishy feet sounds of the shadowy bedroom invader.

Overall, a very good game, well executed, and we look forward to the full release.

For a Game Jam submission, this was a really well constructed game. The dialogue was good, the game play was smooth, and the story was engaging. The camera movement could have been smoother but was still pretty good and intuitive and handled walls and corners decently. We had a lot of fun with this title and we'd love to see a longer sequel. 

It's kind of ridiculous how much fun Feisty Fauna is! The dialogue is hilarious, the artwork is cute, and the sound effects are ADORABLE!!! We loved the co-op mode AND the story mode. It was really easy to get into this game because it's fun right from the beginning and the controls are super easy and intuitive. The difficulty levels seem right on point as well.

If we have any constructive criticism for the game it would be that the menus could use a little more explanation and the pre-attack indicators could be made to be a little more eye-catching as they currently blend in among the "fog of war". Maybe something as simple as a thin black outline would help with that.

Also, it ran flawlessly with our Logitech controllers and the system resource requirements were good and light. Definitely a great game for the solo player or the whole family. Absolutely top notch work!

We'll be playing Feisty Fauna this Wednesday at 7:00 PM CST/CDT at twitch.tv/HeckInTheWhy

We loved this game.  The menus need some work and the version we played had a few bugs  but nothing game breaking. The characters and items were hilarious and everything was very cohesive in terms of art direction. WOULD DEFINITELY PLAY AGAIN!!!

We're about to go live with Chair Racing Simulator! twitch.tv/heckinthewhy

(1 edit)

We stream every Friday evening at 7:30 PM CST/CDT at twitch.tv/HeckInTheWhy. But for the Jam, we may stream more often just to get more awesome indie games in! 

Where do we find the list of games? And are we supposed to announce somewhere when we're going to be streaming?

When is the voting/rating period?

The bounciness of the platforms is fun. The bullet physics are kind of weird and unpredictable. We got them to bounce off of platforms and then bounce off of nothing in mid-air before going off the screen.  That was interesting.

Prolific Jamie is at it again! This time bringing the mythos of Krampus to the world of the lumberjack. It took a while to find a "small" tree but in the end, we managed to get one! Looking forward to your next one, JamieE2004

This was a quick and fun game. A little tough figuring out what to do at first but once we got it, we got it!

We had some fun with this one but we never could figure out how to win once we got all four keys. Looking forward to trying out your next titles!

Well, you certainly weren't lying!

This game had our hearts racing! We absolutely loved what you did with the atmosphere. This was a master class in "less is more" and we really hope you do return to this concept and really flesh it out.

We had SOOOO much fun with this game! This is going to go down as one of our all-time favorites.  Broken Through is 0% air and 100% chip!!!


We heckin' loved this game! Keep it up! We're looking forward to what you create next!!!

Super fun game! We really hope you release a downloadable soundtrack as well!!!
