Heyo!
So there are a lot of "let's rate each other's game" posts and I wanted to do something different.
Reply to this post with a game made by SOMEONE ELSE that you enjoyed this jam! It can be any game, it can have any high points, the only rule is that it has to be someone else's.
Let's give some shoutouts to our fellow Jammers!
I'll start with the (frankly incredible) detective story-based entry: Vanta Noir! https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236832
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2235781
this game is incredibly addictive
Although I was unable to get a submission in for the jam on time, I checked out many games. These were the top 3:
https://thev2andy.itch.io/diving-assault - I’mma be brutally honest, this does not fit with the theme but it’s a fun game and reminded me of many other games like this I played in my childhood
https://hansliu111.itch.io/gettingdeeperit - Liked this one a lot, all I wish is for there to be more levels and make it more clear how to play. I know there is a tutorial level and gameplay video but I think most people miss that. Just make the tutorial level interactive. Also the character could use some more gravity.
https://emiltheapril.itch.io/let-your-balls-fall - This was a great game that met the theme. That’s all I have to say.
Here's a few.
This one has the most creative movement in a platformer that I've ever seen: Rate Heart's Dive: A Snail Tale by iLazer for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
This one has incredibly good pixel art along with a great gameplay loop: Rate Deep Sea Dive by KenboDev, LeBebis for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
I'm pretty sure the devs of the following two plan on expanding their games after the jam, so any support and feedback now would be very useful: Rate The Gorge by Distru121, Cragi-Sandro4316, Ale_Ciao, TornadoEv for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
Rate Deepest Dreams by Valber's Games, Onilaf for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
This one's a tad buggy, but revolves around a great concept and is criminally underrated: Rate Sands of Avarice by error13660 for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
This one I completely forgot was a jam entry for a while and only remembered to rank it after I had 100% completed (tl;dr, it's good): Rate Scuba Steve's Salvage Squad by SAWD Games, TheHibiscusPoet for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
This one created such a good atmosphere, rlly enjoyed it! Rate EUR01 by Resurrected Studio, StudioRightside for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
This is such a good post, was thinking about this yesterday :D ! I've got a long list of faves, but some are:
- Echoes Vol. 1 https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236966
- Infinite Onion https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236871
- Folder Dungeon https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2235781
- Psycho-Link https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236375
- Detective Bass https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2234675
- The Atlantis Inquiry https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2235885
Keen to see more recommendations as I'm 150+ games deep and running out of a system to use to rate!!
My favourite game this Jam was Infinite Onion! I got so deep into it that I broke the design :(
Play it! Rate Infinite Onion by isosceles.starch for Brackeys Game Jam 2023.2 - itch.io
GunDown: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236340
Fish(?) Simulator: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2237031
Fish simulator is still below 20 ratings and it's really good!
I liked Flash the Fish, it uses a unique mechanic where you take photos of fish deep underwater. Was a lot of fun.
Yeah lol Vanta Noir's my favourite game this jam, there are some that get close like Biocycle https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236956 and How Deep Can You Die? (a pun, as in the title the v in "dive" falls off and "drowns") https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236669
Crimson Dunes and Utopena are both incredibly fun and addicting to play. Dreamweaver Clinic is so so so charming
