Hey peeps

I've been having a lot of fun playing other peoples games, and I've started to notice that there are a lot of really good games that seem to have not a lot of ratings, so I'm looking for people to post games that they think are really fun and need more reviews

feel free to post other peoples games here as well as your own, for me to rate.

Also please check out my game if you have the chance, it's playable in browser and is relatively short:

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937439

I can't guarantee I'll be able to play all the games but I'll definitely try

Submitted

Heya, our team would love to get some feedback on our game here - we went for a puzzle platformer where you have to use your dead bodies to progress. Thank you so much!

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3925521

Submitted

Looks interesting I'll make sure to check it out

Submitted

I played and rated your teams game, there were many things I liked about it, I also left a comment on the submission page

Hello hello! Wanted to ask if you've played our lil detective speakeasy cat game yet? Guaranteed to have a swingin' time! :3 
It's a mystery game where you're a cat going between different worlds in a 2D-3D character landscape, with jazzy tunes to keep you company.

A Cat-astrophic Case!

 I haven't yet it looks cool, I'll definitely check it out

Thank youuu, we hope you enjoy our meow-tastic game! :3

Submitted

I played and rated the game and had a good time with it! I left a comment on the submission page

Oh! haha yeah just replied too lol, thank you again for playing!

Hey i would love it if you checked out the game i helped with i did music and effects, i would play yours but my wifi won't even load the game i helped with. 

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931194

Submitted

Yeah I'll make sure to take a look, and don't worry about not being able to play mine I just put it out there in case people wanted to try it out

Submitted

hey I checked it out, I think you did great with the voice acting btw

(1 edit)

oh im not va just music and the attack effects etc if your talking about the elder shroom i can spread the word to the person who did it!

Submitted

I thought I saw in the credits that it said you did it, maybe I misread it

voice acting?  That was korruptid

Submitted

I do think our is a little niche. Some said it had Octodad vibes

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3934756

Submitted

The concept sounds interesting, I'll add it to my list of games to play

Submitted

Yeah I played and rated it, it was good, left a review

Submitted

Hey, I would love to play yours. I'll link my game aswell.

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937254

Submitted

Hey thanks for checking mine out, I'll make sure to return the favour

Submitted

I liked your game, I rated and also made a comment

Submitted

I hope you enjoy mine!

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3938032

Submitted

Looks fun, also dani

Submitted

hey I tried your game but it just wouldn't work for me (see comment on submission page) maybe if you can figure out why I can give it another try

Submitted

That's very strange it works with everyone else so idk what's going on

if your not able to play that's okay, I'm just glad you check it out!

Submitted

yeah I really don't know why it's not working I might try it again later

Submitted

nevermind I got it to work

Submitted

That's great!

Submitted

If you have the time I would really appreciate it if you played my game! https://0skarsavolam.itch.io/looppery

Submitted

Yeah I'll definitely try to play it if I have time, my list of games is getting kinda long but I'll see what I can do

Submitted

I rated/played it and it's really good, left a comment as well

Submitted (1 edit)

I thought these games deserved more attention:

Whisperwood
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936620

It Lies Unseen
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931298

Strife and Death (Not to be confused with Strife of Vengeance)
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936861

A Catastrophic Case
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3930907

Carry On Knight
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937989


EDIT:

Oh yeah, my game too:
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937524

Submitted

Hey thanks for listing all these games, I'll look into them when I have time

Submitted

here is my game would love to hear what you think, https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3935112

Submitted

Hey I remember seeing this one, I hadn't checked it out yet but I will now

Submitted (1 edit)

amazing thank you!! would be glad to hear some feedback when you do

Submitted

hey I played + rated your game it was really good

the only feedback I have is that one stage right after the wolves/dogs get introduced is a little hard because when you throw the guy at the button by the time you can pick them back up the wolf dog thing usually kills the guy

other than that it was all good, I also left a comment on the submission page

Submitted (1 edit)

I also decided to list some of the games I've played if anyone wants to check them out

Not all of them are super niche but I still think they deserve some love


Reincarnage

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3930071

Charon's Lure

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937398

Pepito Dies

Submitted

Let us know what you think :) Rate Dying for a Raise by D'Arque for Jamsepticeye - itch.io

Submitted

Visual Novels aren't typically my go-to, but I'll make sure to check it out

Submitted

Thank you! We've already had a few comments saying the same thing but they all seemed to have really loved it!

Submitted

Hey I played and rated the game, I thought it was pretty good, also I left a comment with more details on what I liked

Submitted

Here's mine! It's a short goofy game(mostly) https://bdgamesstudio.itch.io/hired-by-death

Submitted

Yeah I'll try to play yours if I have time, and is that mar- I mean legally distinct guy with mustache and hat?

Submitted

I can neither confirm nor deny that... ;) 

Submitted

I think my game may be in that niche group! It's a  short platformer with some twists and not so ordinary puzzles:)

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936670

Submitted

I'll try to get to your game if I can. I still have to go through most of the games in this thread still, but I'll see if I can squeeze it in

Submitted

Hi! Here are a few of the hidden gems I've played during the jam that deserve way more reviews: https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3934835

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3933926

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3933393

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931328

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936627

I will include mine too, but play the others first!

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3936171

Submitted

these games definitely peaked my interest and they all have very little reviews, so I'll try to get them rated before some of the others on my list

Submitted

Here is my game:-

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3935555

Submitted

I'll try to play it before the voting period ends

I'd say we have a pretty niche game, where you drive spirits of dead people to a desired location rewarding you in some way, its not finished as it is and we cut alot from the objectives because of time crunch to make it playable Charon's Cab Co. by TheTobbs 

Submitted (1 edit)

I'll check it out and the fact that it's unfinished won't affect my review, because I also had to cut content from my game because of lack of time, and I rushed making all the levels

My partner made this one and I'd say it's niche https://mattstraction.itch.io/goodbye

Submitted

yeah I'd say five reviews is pretty niche, I'll try to play it before voting ends

Submitted

My wacky phyiscs based platformer:

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931554#post-14445271

Submitted

judging by the screenshots, this game looks really fun, I'll try to play it

Submitted

This game's a little longer (30-40 minutes), but it uses unique mechanics so maybe that'll count for niche??

Here's my game: It's a point and click psychological horror game with a manga aesthetic, and is actually a sequel demo to the first game I ever published. Enjoy!

https://kinjako.itch.io/gestalt-memoria

Submitted

even if the game isn't very niche I'll still try to check it out, and I like the visuals

Submitted

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937172

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937547

These two are my favourites so far and i think they deserve more attention!!

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3931964

This one is mine, if you have the time to play it :D

Submitted

I'll try to check these all out, if I have time

Submitted

Graverun

Here鈥檚 my game— I鈥檇 be really happy to see you playing it! Available for WebGL, Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you run into any issues, just let me know! Watch now on Youtube: Graverun Gameplay

Imagem

Submitted

I'll be sure to check this one out (even though it has lots of reviews already) it looks really cool

Submitted

We are the only guitar hero esque game as far as I'm aware!! Feel free to play if you want!!

https://schrecklock.itch.io/cadenza

Submitted

it would be the first I've seen, I'll make sure to take a look

Submitted

Would be happy if you check mine out and leave some feedback behind!

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937467

Submitted

I'll check yours out, and since I noticed you played mine I'll make sure to do it before some of the other games I already plan to look at

Submitted (1 edit)

had a good time with this one I really liked it, I posted a comment on the page and reviewed it

It's hard for me to think of good feedback to make (other than a few spelling errors but that doesn't really count)

Some things I did notice though is that sometimes the background noises will cut off and the running sound doesn't loop well

Other than that great game!

Submitted

We really think some feedback could help us here...

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937913

Submitted

If I have time to squeeze it in I'll try it and leave some feedback

Submitted

Hoping to get a few more reviews before the end, if you have time give it a shot, thanks :)
https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937829

Submitted

I'll add it to my list

Hey this is right on for us! My friend made such a cool game but it hasn't been seen too much - we'd really appreciate it if you could check it out!! https://krausers-lab.itch.io/dead-neighbors-mortal-void Good luck to you and everyone on here!!! 

Submitted

I'll see if I can

Submitted

hey I checked out their game

Submitted

I'd love it if you gave my game Dead Neighbors: Mortal Void a go! It's a Dead Space inspired horror game! If you don't feel like playing/downloading, there's a gamepaly video on the game page if you wanna give me a rate! https://krausers-lab.itch.io/dead-neighbors-mortal-void

Submitted

Yeah I see your friend mentioned the game, I'll make sure to check it out

Submitted

My bad, didn't mean to spam

Submitted

Nah it's fine, you probably didn't see, I've had a few games listed twice already

It just makes me want to check it out more

Submitted

I played your game and left a review and comment

Submitted

Hi! Here is my game, thanks for checking it out! https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937531

I try to play through all the people's games who have posted a comment on my game's page so if you would like me to play and review your game, drop a comment on my game's submission  page and I will play them tomorrow before the jam voting ends 馃挏

(The game is very easy  but the Artist worked so hard on the art, so I hope that as many people get to see their results as possible. (You can blame any bugs on my programming))

Submitted

It looks very cool and interesting I'll take a look at it

Submitted

Hey everyone my list of games to play is getting significantly long and I don't know if I'll be able to play all of them before the voting period ends, but I would suggest to continue posting games, because other people might see them and be able to play and review them

Submitted

and I'll still try to play them even if it's after the voting period if you just want more feedback, or if you think they are still worth checking out

Submitted

https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937774 Here is mine an psx style cat game, there an softlock section and just head up where the barrels fall you'll spot it :]

Submitted

Here is my game trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpcEANDSdKo

Hello! Not sure if my game qualifies but it's a short game with some "choose your own adventure" elements to it. Hope you can check it out!

https://sleepy-giant-productions.itch.io/at-deaths-door

Submitted

I love the 1 bit style of grav game! I鈥檝e been wanting to do more 1 bit art myself. Your game was fun to play!

Mine is also playable in browser and very short if you get around to it! https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3935933

Submitted

Hello! I'm not sure if my game classifies as niche or not, but my game is a first-person walking simulator where you must find notes scattered around an abandoned alien base and solve the mystery of what happened there, all while you make your way to the exit. Here is the link to my game if that sounds interesting to you:

Goodnight, Moon: https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937870

I will make sure to check out your game as well and leave a rating and comment 馃槉

Submitted

hey thanks for checking out my game. I played your game and left a review, it was really good

Submitted

I'm basically out of time for rating games, cuz I'll be busy till after the end of the voting period probably

thanks to everyone who posted their games here for me (and hopefully some other people too) to check out

I might be able to squeeze in a few more but no guarantees

Submitted

Here's the one I worked on ^^ it's a very short point-and-click adventure about trick-or-treating! https://itch.io/jam/jamsepticeye/rate/3937688

I also have a couple of underrated favourites:
