Moderator Browntul here. Congratulations on finishing your game prototype!

Like the last iteration of this jam, I will be playing your games from My First Game Jam: Summer 2022 on my Twitch stream (twitch.tv/browntulstar). The dates that I will be playing the games will be announced at a later date (probably the week of July 24th, Pacific Time Zone)

Here's what you need to do if you would like me to play your game on my stream:

1.  Post the itch.io link to your game as a reply below. (Do not direct-message me as it will not work).
   1. Your game must be submitted to this iteration of My First Game Jam.
   2. Make sure it can be played as either a Windows executable (exe) or as a web game for a desktop web browser.
2. Add the title and a brief description/pitch of your game in your reply. 
3. Credit all your game's contributors.
4. Indicate whether your game is suitable for all ages or not, and if there are adult themes that would otherwise make your game not rated PG-13.
5. Include what time zone you are in so that I can try to group together games from similar regions into one stream. (Don't worry if you can't make it- the vods will be available afterward).
6. (Optional) Like in the post-jam playtesting thread, you can put a list, questions, or description of what you would like critique on.

Example

1.  Guzman Home Run Derby. Hit all the home runs with your friends from Guzman's family and friends!
2. https://browntulstar.itch.io/guzman-hr-derby
3. Browntul, Guzman
4. Suitable for all ages (no mature content, no gore)
5. Pacific Time Zone (PDT)
6.  I'd like an opinion on the one-touch mechanics as well as the physics of the swing. And also I want to know if the DLC store is priced well!

Note that I will not be able to play all games for various reasons, including if there are too many submissions below. Sorry about that! But you are also free to play other jammers' games. Use the #promo channel on Discord to promote your game.

I will update this post with the list of games next week, on Saturday, July 23rd. I'll be dedicating about 20 minutes to each game. For each game session, I will try to speak out loud what I am thinking at the moment and try to identify the goals of the games and the main game mechanics. After each stream, individual Twitch vods will be available so that you can watch it again at your own time.

I can't wait to play your games! See you all soon.

Run Away, a top-down arcade style game. Avoid the enemies, collect points. See how many you can get! My first game! made solo. No adult themes or any of that. UTC-8:00.

Let me know if its fun! No music and very little art, so I'm only looking to know if the gameplay itself is fun. Also, let me know if it's too difficult. Feedback I've had so far has suggested that it might be. 

https://shoelid.itch.io/run-away

1: Gobs - A galactic representation of the game many of us played when we were younger, Pogs.

2:  https://dreamaise.itch.io/gobs It was supposed to be a webgl but after severe difficulties I had to go windows.exe.

3: Adam Price

4: Suitable for all ages however it is gambling. Score is  not currently working so, is it really gambling? haha

5: Mountain Standard Time

6: The theme was heal and with my theme chosen ahead of time I could only adapt. The atmosphere and visuals is where I tried to drive home the heal aspect. Effort made to try and make it as comforting as I could should you just be on the mend yourself. 

 I ran out of time in so many ways so I will list known issues. Settings volume and pitch not working. Playfield missing in battle 1. Fade transitions not working.  Battle states and the separation of players enemy's turn not working. No animations for player or enemy turn. And many more I'm sure as this is my first ever game. Oh and stated above total gobs won score is not working again...

What I had to chop because of my inexperience and time constraints. Inventory, click to drag to said inventory, slam / players turn / enemy's turn animations. Pause menu.

3. undragoncolorado/Joanabin!/M3tabble  (https://m3tabble.carrd.co/)/ Islit/Chadow/firespark27/
4. The game is a horror comedy. While it does not include any graphic content in the least, it does showcase creepy banana characters, an ocassional swear, and the implications of murder on one of the endings. Again, the game doesn't take itself seriously.
5. Eastern Time Zone (EST)

Game link: https://alxinc.itch.io/cessnock

Windows executable (will need to unzip though) around 140mb

Title: Cessnock

3D roguelite

3 playable characters (If you'd like to unlock all characters for stream, at the start of the game on the main menu hit the 'O' in Cessnock and it will give you access to all the playable characters (heads up though, the dog is hard mode))

2 playable levels and a bonus unlimited mode

Suitable for all ages I'd say. Definitely PG-13

GMT+9:30 - South Australia

I am aware that the game still needs a lot of polish but any critique/feedback is welcome. Be as critical as you can be.

Thank you for your time

I made a space themed sim game along with my 12 year old kid. This is our very first game, and I think it came out pretty good. It has cute graphics. 

The game is limited to 1820 seconds, or 30 minutes. You either win or lose the game at the end of 30 minutes.

Here are the details

1. https://whiskeylover.itch.io/save-the-moon
2. Save The Moon
   1. This is a space themed simulation with cute graphics. TLDR; - A comet is about to crash on the moon and the debris will cause the destruction of Earth. Save the moon! You have 1 year (or 30 minutes of real time). 
3. Credits
   1. me and my 12 year old kid. We made all the graphics, and wrote all the code.
4. Suitable for all ages. (no mature content, no gore)
5. Eastern Time (EDT)
6. Critique on art and general difficulty level. I've tried very had to make it balanced, but it's a work in progress.

Synopsis - 

On March 9th, 2251, Dr Abaddon Trephor discovered that a comet strike would split the moon in half in exactly 100 years. The two halves would then make contact with Earth, causing Earth to explode. He tried to warn the people, but unfortunately he was ignored by the leaders of the Earth… until it was too late.  99 years have passed since Trephor made his prediction, and now we can clearly see the comet (codenamed XORF-2261) making its way to the moon and will collide with it in exactly 12 months time. As a last ditch effort, the leaders have sent you to the moon to build a defense station to blow up the comet in its path. If we’re lucky, we may be able to narrowly avoid this disaster and live to tell the tale.

Example graphics.

A mining truck is delivering moon ore to a refinery, while a shelter and a power plant are visible in the foreground.

4. Suitable for all ages (no mature content, no gore)
5. Central European Time (CET) UTC+2
6. Your feeling about the game, the difficulty. What you like / dislike.

Thx 

https://ekky13.itch.io/healerlfg

Title: "Healer LFG" 

Pitch: Play as MMO inspired healer managing your mana and changing your playstyle to most efficiently handle the threats coming to your party.

Creator: Ekky, most of the assets are from craftpix

Suitable for all ages.

Timezone: utc+01

What I'm most interested in is if the general idea of the game is fun. The balance and stuff is probably completely off given the time constraints. But I was playing with the idea of creating a game like this but more in a rogulite sense with different classes and healers to unlock.

Even if you don't have the time to test my game I just wanna thank you for the time you take to test and give feedback on different games.

1. Zombie Run. There are hordes of zombies headed your way! Wizard, quick! Use your potions and turn them back into humans!

6. I would like to know if.. well anything, as I've received no feedback or input :(. Is it too hard/easy? How are the controls? Does it look and perform properly?

Thanks everyone for submitting games to play. I will play them on my stream at https://twitch.tv/browntulstar as described in the first post of this thread.

I've created a spreadsheet to show the games I will play alongside the corresponding times! Some of you didn't fill out the form correctly so I inferred info from the other info given. Games/times: https://bit.ly/browntulmfgjs22showcase

As a reminder, I'll be spending up to 20 minutes on each game, giving thoughts on the gameplay as I play. I will also try to give feedback based on what you all requested.  

See you all next week!
