DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

You're right, that game was straight up professional level! Thanks for sharing

Nice puzzle game, good choice.

:) :)

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

That game is genius, thanks for sharing

Stay with the Flock was a simple but engaging game. You play as a bird in a flock, doing your best to stay close for fear of a neighboring eagle. Easy to start but the constant twists & turns of the flight path really keep you on your toes!

The visual style was simple & charming, and sfx successfully built suspense when you got off path. Worth a try!

Fun game, and it works very well using a controller, thanks.

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Just finish playing all the games you listed there, all of them are cool and well made games. Especially the last one, I always appreciate good pixel arts and fun story.

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago (1 edit)

Right? I played YUNA, Linklings and Swarmony, definitely solid entries. YUNA was gorgeous

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Yea, YUNA maybe not the funniest game but it really has one of the best artworks I ever seen in this jam.

Hey, at least one nice community post! Seems like interesting ideas are lost throughout thousands of 1-hour games, the same seems to be with mine.

I found a couple that are good and worth trying, although require some polishing:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929312 - nice graphic/atmosphere and idea
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/925240 - interesting concept of space invaders in a new format
https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928312 - this one has an interesting concept of a crowd of people which follows the player and can be upgraded

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

looking forward to playing these, thanks for sharing! Yeah so many good games get lost in a huge jam like this, especially if they're missing a bit of polish or don't have good thumbnails. I think most of the good games will get their time in the sun though, there's still a long time left in the rating period!

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

Played all three of those, they were great! Thanks for sharing them

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Just finish playing them, interesting choices. They can be great games with some polish.

sorry man this thread isn't for self promotion

KlortakSubmitted3 years ago

this one has around 20 votes and it has some of the best visuals i've seen in this jam, https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928598?before=21#post-2698117

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

Just played that game, it was beautiful! Thanks for sharing

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Really a beautiful game, thanks a lot.

Absolutely love this post. Very cool of you to think of others (while everyone else is promoting their games) especially under rated games. I am gonna go through the suggestions here and play all of them as I am looking to rate more unique games that get lost in the crowd.

Already played and rated Noctambule. Very cool art style to that game.

I will share a couple:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928691 cool idea and graphics, needs polish on the controls and the combat.

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/926884 Decent idea, pretty fun gameplay in my opinion

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

In a big jam like this, lots of good games get lost in the crowd, which is unavoidable but hopefully this helps a little. Plus, it's a good way to filter for great underappreciated games ;) everyone would promote their own game, but when asked to promote other's? Then you know the game they choose to promote is good. Thanks for sharing your picks, I'll take a look at them later!

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago (1 edit)

Bond of Bones was sweet! I actually had played it before, it had a nice idea and atmosphere, also liked how it was a 3rd person slasher. Be Together was also pretty fun although the controls did throw me for a loop

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Just played both, had fun playing them. :)

flavedogameSubmitted3 years ago

Glad people here actually send other's games! I'd like to share this game I noticed before https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928249 it only has 7 but worth more!

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

I remember this one, it has very nice visuals. I got lost last time when I play, maybe I will try again later.

Kaya Tacer and Om GulatiSubmitted3 years ago

A friend made this, it deserves more ratings

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929356

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Nice game, really make me want to play N++ again.

Ahmed HamdiSubmitted3 years ago

Try this. Maybe it could deserve some rates

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929484

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Well, MacOS is even a less popular OS than Linux in this jam I guess.

Please don't promote your own game, there is plenty of other posts where you can do this. This post is just for promoting other games you have played in the jam.

A puzzle-platformer game with nice mechanic and execution. It has some flaws in level design, but it definitely deserves more than 5 ratings.

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

I was not expecting the animations for that game to be so good! Thanks for sharing!

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Nice choice. Unfortunately I didn't beat it because of my strange keyboard....

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago (7 edits)

Got a batch of new games, all under 20 ratings:

Incredible and intricate pixel art platformer game, without a doubt the best take on the (admittedly common) slime concept I've seen so far:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929444

Really polished and pleasant-looking fruit dating sim, but makes you go through google drive to download it:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929628

Platformer shooter that is a little rough around the edges but has a really cool mechanic of mixing elements to make bullets to shoot enemies with:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928986

Game with kinda lackluster gameplay but with incredibly good art and animation:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929425

Endless runner with a geometry dash vibe and a cool mechanic where you control two balls connected by a chain:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928422?before=10#post-2704201

Intricate boss fight game with nice graphics, but not very clear on what to do:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929519?before=3#post-2704339

Funny take on the theme, where you help spot your bros in the gym and become stronger together. Nice graphics too:

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/928021?before=13#post-2704830

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Just played all of them... Interesting picks, unfortunately all of them are still under 20 votes now.

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

are you serious??? Good thing there's 2 weeks in the ratings period

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago

Yep, and I actually found some other good games with less than 20 rates today... I have added them to the collection.

DrManateeSubmitted3 years ago

guess it just goes to show you that either luck or marketing are the only ways to get your game played

cszcxsSubmitted3 years ago (1 edit)

Well... It's pretty close to sale a game on Steam/ phone markets I guess....

Flyire-Demo

Flyire is a first-person shooter, action, sky combat game.

Gameplay:

It has an Endless game level, where the player has a normal jet with a mounted MG2B (Machine Gun) on the jet. The player has to travel as far as possible to make a high score.

There are a lot of enemies on the run. you have to keep moving and shoot them down to avoid them shooting at you.

The game would seem easy at the start, but the more score you make the more highscore will be harder to achieve.

Enjoy the Game.

Please Rate

Just found another beautiful game. The game is not very long but feels really nice.

MightyBlobSubmitted3 years ago
