Thanks! I only had a little bit of time this Jam, but planning on playing with this idea some more. I'm planning to add an AI so single players can give it a go.
This was super fun! Had a good few games running positive for a while last night. I wish I could tip the scales on some of the games a little faster, but it was very addictive.
I'm very intrigued with Odd One Out. It's a nice hack into the human pattern matching ability. There were a few times where I picked the right one, but didn't really know exactly how I knew. Nice work!
Ok... so I was playing through your games and I don't know why, but I decided to just place something on the Z key and let sifter2 run for a bit while I grabbed coffee. I came back 5 to 10 mins later to find my computer running some sort of industrial music beat in the background as all of the alcoves were vibrating with hundreds of little shapes. Totally changed the vibes of sifter2 into something way more avant-garde.
I think Third Time's a Charm was my fave. I love a good tile-matcher and the dreamy Gymnopedies soundtrack in the background was just a treat. Nice work!
First time, I died in the desert. The second time, I died in the desert with a lot of gear. I really enjoyed the uncertainty of wandering and wondering. Wondering if I'm going to get any water. Does the dousing rod help you find more water over time?
Got to level 24! With the way you've designed it, the obstacles never felt cheap and I only blamed myself for mistakes. The challenge level was a surprise. This is a very well designed game. Nice job!
Sorry for the confusion, I forgot to turn off the collision after the level timer ends and there's only 1 level. I spent most of the month prototyping a different idea that just wasn't that fun. The idea was to have different patterns and phases, maybe some powerups and stuff, but time vs scope 😬 Thank for the feedback though!
Planning out the ball splitting with the pathing was an interesting problem to work through as a player. I really enjoyed the challenge at each level. Really nice game!
What a fun mechanic. I also appreciate the quick restart functionality and positioning. Really get's you into the "wait, one more time" flow. Well done!
Nice game. I really liked the puzzle setup for the first time you run into the bears and need them to knock you down the hill. Quite the "aha" moment. You made great puzzles and I like the game mechanic.
Good level design. Could see hints of old school Doom games in there. Really enjoyed the movement and the gun sound was satisfying too. Some player knock back or invincibility frames would give the player a better chance to react to taking damage and make it more of a teaching opportunity. Otherwise, good job!
Wow, this was amazing. The levels were challenging, engaging, and had very well put together introductions to each mechanic. By the end, I felt like there were so many things going on, but only one button to overcome the obstacles. I definitely felt myself fall into the state of flow or "fiero" while playing this and that's the sign of a good game. When controls and screen borders kind of fall away and there's only the task at hand. I'd pay for a game like this. Good job and thanks making it.
Nice idea! I enjoyed the resource management aspect of the swords vs mages & potions etc with attacking and blocking having different outcomes on that resource. Puts the player into the position of really weighing their next actions quickly. Also, given the difficulty of some of the levels, it’s really nice not to have to play from the beginning of the game each time I die.
Had a lot of fun playing this. Reminded me of Pikmin, which is always fun to play. You did a good job putting life into all of the sprites and mechanics. Felt very polished. Nice job!
Nice take on the top down shooter. Really like the pop sound for the shooting. Also felt like you introduced the new enemy around the right time, just as I was thinking “oh, another level, I’ll kill all the enemies” there was a spawner. For improvements, you might add power-ups for faster shooting, faster movement, or an AOE type ability or something. There’s room for additional challenge as well in here with faster moving enemies, ranged enemies, ammo constraints, etc. Great game with a solid base you can iterate on!
Sometimes plants just need some freedom to feel the breeze beneath their leaves. Glad I could assist in their escape. I appreciate that you wrote a post mortem as well, always good to reflect and move forward, something I need to do more often. Good job and thanks for making this game.
Great idea with the perspective shift. It took this idea to the next level. And you really pulled off the shift without a lot of disruption to the player. Nicely done!
As a fellow carnivore, that was delicious. At first I thought the AI was just super aggressive and I think that was true, but getting the upgrades made avoiding them more enjoyable later on.
I love this take on snake. Mixing the traditional snake gameplay with strategy was super interesting. I did encounter a bug a couple of times where the game crashed when I was damaged
