Hi Zakaria,
I'd like to hear your thoughts on my game, it's a 3D puzzle platformer crafted in Unreal Engine 4 featuring a 8h story. This is my solo project that started as a joke but turned into a full game with (deliberately questionable) voice acting, quality cinematics and animations, as well as full controller support. If you are interested I'll be happy to provide you with a review copy.
Hi there FunkyzeitGames,
Yes! sure I am down for the task.
To be honest, I normally go down the list and that is in order to be fair with everyone (I can't play all games in one day, I try my best to make one each day and this takes long to go through all the list) but I am willing to make an exception here! So let's do this!
Hi Zakaria,
Thank you for your reply, I have emailed you the Steam key couple of minutes ago. :)
Hi Zakaria
!
Since you like challenges I also invite you to try to finish the prologue on the demo of GrandMa Badass ...
and if you get there and want to play the sequel, well I'll give you a key for the episode 1 :)
GrandMa Badass is a 2D cartoon Point and Click
Hi there Adipson, I played your game and I must say I am impressed! Here is the gameplay review video, I managed to end the demo. Here are some notes too, it will be amazing if you can subscribe to my YouTube channel, I keep doing these reviews on Itch.io regularly.
I found your game very fun to play and you were right! It is challenging, and I love challenges! I hope all the best for your game. If anything and there is more you want me to cover it up for you, just let me know.
Hey there FunkyzeitGames, I have recorded a gameplay review video that contains reviews, opinions, thoughts, first impressions and I have also kept some of the issues and problems that I faced purposely in order to help with the visual explanation. All together and I am sure you already know this about your game, the game is interesting and so good. This can with high chances lead to a part two. If possible from I could really need another subscription on my YouTube channel, it will help to motivate me to keep doing these gameplay reviews -it sure takes a lot of time and energy to make them ;)
Hi Zakaria,
Thank you for covering Converter on your Youtube channel and thank you for good overall impression. :) I am currently watching it right now as it came out in my subscription feed and I'm glad that you are planning a gameplay series. Regarding your comments:
-In game pause menu needs options: Absolutely correct. This is on my list to add along with the motion blur reduction. As much as I love cinematic feel the motion blur gives, I understand a lot of people aren't fans of it. Mouse sensitivity option is in the controls option though, I believe it's now called Mouse/Gamepad look sensitivity, at the bottom of the controls options menu.
-I have updated the hints system couple of days ago because some people complained that it's distracting and it suddenly pops up, so in recent update I relegated it to the optional hint circles you can walk into if you'd like more info. I am glad that you like it the way it was and I believe the current solution is the best of both worlds
-Sliding into the rocks is a framerate issue. I have tried to make the animation transitions as smooth as possible but at lower end PCs the smoothing of character's position can lag behind a bit, causing the character to sometimes clip into fast moving platforms. I will work on it to adjust it for lower end machines. In the meantime, please try lowering some of the graphical settings so your experience is as smooth as possible. I'd suggest lowering the draw distance to almost minimum and keeping the rest on high. Just to add, Chad settings are above Ultra and they are the most demanding.
Your feedback means a lot to me as it gives me clear directions how to update the game, so thank you very much again for it. I'll continue watching your video now for additional comments you might have had while recording it. Please enjoy the game, it is quite big for a solo project, but there is a lot of puzzles, interesting areas and other content as well. :)
Hi there FunkyzeitGames,
Without a doubt, your game is a massive project for only one person behind the scenes, I am really impressed of how much this game is good. And thank you so much for joining me through my journey of YouTube! I didn't know you are already in with us.
I have already managed to solve smoothing the gameplay and minimizing the motion blur by lowering the graphical settings, it has to be my PC because I am having 8 GB RAM installed but only 6 GB usable.
For the updates that you made, you must know that I already prepared some content for your game before your update, so you might see some stuff not change. I will make sure to focus on this upcoming video to help you make the game better.
One of my good traits is that I love to help, and this game seems great more than enough to be gaining help from all directions! All the best for Converter.
PS: I will post on your itch.io game page for the next upcoming gameplay reviews.
I have tried to download your game but it only gives me some PDF files (rules...) or it takes me to a Steam page discussion! I am so confused and honestly I don't think these physical games are my type anyways! I have to refuse your projects and I am sorry for that!
hi Zakaria, yes the PDF files are files to print out, then you have a boardgame ;)
The steam link is a digital version but you need to have a 20$ software called Tabletop simulator.
I also included links to a web platform where you can play it directly, you'll find these in the project description @ http://platernity.itch.io/artsucre .
But I totally understand that you reject it, I looked at your channel, and this would become a very different video from the rest.
Thanks for checking it out :)
Hi Nini, Thank you for understanding and thank you for explaining further about your physical games. I hope some people see these comments here and check your projects.
This is dark fantasy space invaders clone. It has story. With text screens. And gameplay has some efects. It has simple purple black colors visual, and arthouse style.
Hi there DimaLink, I have played your game but I had to stop at one point! The reason is that I am one of those people who have a problem with flashing images and your game contains that sometimes! I will be happy if you can hit me with a subscription to my YouTube channel, it really motivates more to do these itch.io reviews seeing you developers joining in. Here are some small notes.
If I could handle the pain in my eyes because of the flashing images, I would for sure try to finish the game! Hope this video and these notes can help you out sir.
Hi there, I made a gameplay review video for Soul Crisis and I must say this game is so hard, like too much hard. I have some notes here and there but the video sums it all. It will be great if you guys can subscribe to my YouTube channel; It will really keep me going and do more of these reviews.
Surely it is a challenging game, but this is a very hard one to be honest. Can we have lowering difficulties in the future? I hope this review helps in making your games better. I really do!
Hi! Thank you for doing such a useful job!
it's really important for many developers! could you take a look at our project too?
we would be happy to.
Hi ZakariaGhorfati,
Would you mind playing the demo for my Visual Novel? There's now 7 chapters available. Also, just to let you know, this is the kind of Visual Novel that has one linear story. Also, the main character is shown along with other characters.
Also, this is available for Windows and Mac, as well as web browser. Also, I went and added some depth to the character art and broke the longer paragraphs into smaller ones.
You can find it at danielles-games.itch.io/i-know-you-but-how-visual-novel
Hi there again Danielle! Here is the gameplay review video you asked! I hope this helps you out. I see that you are doing well with making more new games! All the best.
Overall, the story is interesting but you really might take a look at some points above! It will help you make better visual novel games in the future.
Hi Zakaria,
the amount of new games to play here surely is already enough yet I still would like to share my high-scpre game "Zombrero" with you. It only takes a few minutes to try it out. Thank you for the opportunity!
https://gerhard-atze.itch.io/zombrero
Hi there Gerhard Atze! I have played your game and here is the gameplay review video for it! Make sure to let me know in case you update your game and want me to cover it up for you. For now here are some notes with the video as well! I would be happier if you could join me in my YouTube channel! That is something that helps me to keep doing more of these reviews.
Hope this will be to a good help to your game! All the best in killing more zombies ;)
Hi Zakaria, thank you so so much for playing and actually trying to get a highscore! Had a lot of fun watching it. I see now that I have to explain the game better. The Special Timer and Kills count for every zombie you kill with gunshots. If you manage to get 6 Kills in 3 Seconds you will be rewarded with the special gun for some seconds (you had it at 9:31), which is the most important mechanic to get a very high score. I think I have to tweak the game somehow, because it makes a lot of fun when you just splatter dozens of zombies but most people don't get this far. So this was really helpful. Thank you a lot!
EDIT: There is actually a fullscreen option to toggle on or off on the title screen!
Thank you for replaying here as well! I enjoyed your game and hoping it will get more much attention!
Hello Zakaria,
I'm sure you have a lot of games to try already but if you get time please check out my game Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage
Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage
Solar Blaster: Challenge Stage is an action packed space shooter where you’ve got 2 minutes to get the high score. Destroy as many enemy waves as you can within the time limit, collect power ups like rapid fire and spread shot and cause massive destruction with your 3 super bombs.
Play the game for free in your browser or download the zip folder containing stand alone versions for Windows, Mac, Linux and Raspberry Pi. The stand alone versions support high score save and can also be played with controllers.
Please take a look at this video of the game in action (not my video, credit for this goes to nonkabejima on youtube):
Hi there GS.Games! I have finally made it up and played your game and here is below the gameplay review video for Solar Blaster! I hope this can boost your game page as well gives you some positives motives. It will be great if you subscribed to my YouTube channel, as it really helps me and motivate me to do more of these reviews. Here are some notes as well!
I managed to get 14480 as my highest score in the game! I hope to see this game does well in the future.
Hi Zakaria, thanks so much for choosing my game for your latest video! I thought it was really great and it was a lot of fun to watch! I'm glad you enjoyed the game, and it was great that you showed both game modes too. I enjoyed seeing you improve on each attempt at the game, and I'm glad you got to try all the different power ups.
The text intro screens explaining the power ups and controls do kind of go by a bit quickly, but they will cycle around again if you don't press any keys. If I do any more updates to the game I'd probably adjust the speed of this but otherwise I'm happy with the game as it is at the moment. The Endless Attack mode was added in the version 1.1 update because people enjoyed the game and wanted to be able to play it for longer than 2 minutes, I've been really pleased and surprised by the positive reaction the game has had so far - and it's great seeing people like you finding the game now and enjoying it!
I hope your video gets a lot of views and that it helps to boost your channel as well. I gave you a like and a comment on the video and subscribed too!
Thank you so much for the help with the YouTube channel, it really means a lot to me! Same as I said before, your game is great and it has great challenging vibes! Really enjoyed playing your game.
I wish you all the best in making more games like this.
I have finally played your game and here is below the gameplay review video for your game. Hope this will help out and I will post some notes as well, however the video contains more than I can write, so make sure to watch it for more details. Also, it will be great if you joined me up on my YouTube channel, it keeps me going and doing these reviews over here.
The original video was about an hour long but I had to edit it a lot to take off the death runs! I hope this helps out for real.
Hi there Krisz’Games! I have made a gameplay review video for your game Haunted Knight! Hope this will help out with development. There are some notes below too but the video contains more ideas and reviews. It will be great if you join me to my YouTube journey, adding new subs motivate me to do more reviews here.
I hope to see this game as a part of a bigger version because it really has good vibes. With a story and objectives and bigger map, it will be great.
Hi! thanks for supporting Indie developers, I really appreciate it.
I would love to hear your feedback on my game, you can get it by this link: https://salemir.itch.io/parasight
Hi there Amir! I have played your game a while back and now finished uploading the gameplay review video for your PARASIGHT. I am really impressed, GREAT GAME ♥. I would be grateful for you if you joined my YouTube channel... I ask every developer who I make a video for, and it does really help me out to see you guys join in. Here are some notes as well to the video.
The game is amazing and I love each bit of it! Hope to see and be able to play the full game to be honest! This is a great game and I wish all the best in making this project comes to life.
Thanks for the support and feedback! you will find out everything in the full game :)
Hi, this game of mine is still under development, but if you pick the first character and achive a perfect score, it looks as if it was complete.
https://digi-device-file.itch.io/digi-device-file
I am not sure if it is safe or not but each time my Windows blocks the download after a while saying there is files that might harm my PC!
Is this game an online game? I also watched your YouTube videos about your game! could not get if it is a showcase of characters in a zoomed way or a gameplay video!
After reading about your game I am really interested to play it! However, I don't have VR.
I tried the game on PC without VR but it keeps saying I have to look to a camera in the centre of the screen! The game can't be played without VR sets.
I wish all the best for your game guys! Really creactive one!
Yes, the game cannot be played without VR headset. Sorry for this...
But thanks for your interest anyway!
Hello Zakaria, earlier this year I uploaded my game Tourmaline to itch.io, I've garnered a few views and downloads which is great but unfortunately I have yet to receive any feedback and was wondering if you would be willing to check out my game. Any attention your video could give my game would be fantastic but I am almost more interested to see your opinion of the game, either way it would be very helpful. Even if you don't decide to play my game or don't find the time I have to give you major credit for managing to keep up with this process so thank you for doing this for so many people. Anyways I am eager to see your response and hope to speak to you more later.
More info on my game can be found on the page.
The link to my game: https://duke-of-souls.itch.io/tourmaline-demo
Hey there Duke, I have played your game ahead of the rest of the list because of the kind way you asked for it. I hope this gameplay review video will help you with your new game here! All I am asking is your subscription to my YouTube channel, it will surely help me, it is like a help for help ;) LOL. The video here contains a lot of information, opinions and reviews, so you might want to watch it fully. However, in case you don’t have time, here are some notes.
Of course the video contains more than these notes, so feel free to watch it. If you decided to update the game and solve the magic feature, let me know by contacting me and I might give it a shot and play the game and finish it, or maybe to show the new updates.
Thank you very much for your time, I will watch the entirety of your video later today and let you know more once I have done so. I have also subscribed to your channel partially cause you asked but also because I enjoyed what I watched of your other videos.
I have watched your video and enjoyed it, it was very useful as it showed me a lot of things that could be improved or made clearer to the player. It is unfortunate that you were unable to finish it but this is understandable as there were many things (like the magic feature) that I now realize were not sufficiently explained to the player.
While watching I took some notes about different parts where you had been confused and would like to clarify some of them, I've also included time stamps so you can see what I am referring to.
Time In Video, 3:37 - For some reason the tutorial text boxes were not displaying correctly for you, there should have been a box behind the text to make it easier to read.
Here's how it looked for you:
Here's How it should have looked
I am not sure why it displayed incorrectly, and I will try to fix it for future versions.
Time Stamp, 6:46 - To clarify, the reason for why touching enemies hurts you is to make sure you can't run past them when you shouldn't, at least, not without getting hit
Time Stamp, 10:00 - I agree, you should not be booted to the menu after dying, I will fix this in the future, thanks for the suggestion.
Time Stamp, 12:16 - This is a health orb, it heals you when you hit it (but you had max health), the tutorial mentions this but sadly due to the bug mentioned earlier you may not have been able to read this (I may have also forgot to include that tutorial, I will check)
Time Stamp. 12:36 - You can change the size of text under Options -> Accessibility -> Text Size. Making it bigger may help you to read the item descriptions and the name of items when you pick them up
Time Stamp. 36:00 - I think the hitboxes may be broken here, you should have been able to hit this enemy easier with the lance, I will fix this for the next version
Most Importantly:
To use magic you have to hold the spell toggle button (By default W) and press the attack button (By Default E), you can cast the spells as many times as you like so long as you have enough mana (The blue bar at the top)
Another thing I realized is that the second half of the demo (where it goes dark) is not easy to understand at first. A big part of why you had difficulty with that second boss is because there were new weapons and spells in the dark version of the level (Two weapons in the tower area, and a spell where you first unlocked the dash ability), I can see why it would not be clear that you should explore this area fully, sorry for not making it more clear. If you ever decide to revisit the demo hopefully with this new information you would be able to complete it.
Thank you for checking it out though, your feedback is helpful, I've had two other people test out the game but they've been playing it since the first demo, so its useful to see someone who had never played that demo try this new one, so thanks for your time.
Whether or not you decide to go back to the demo, I hope to speak with you again in the future, and I will inform you whenever I make any new releases or major updates. Again thanks for your time.
I am so glad that this has been a useful way to test your game and happy to help! And I am more surprsied by the efforts and time you took to replay and explain your game further here.
Now I understand more why the second boss was that hard, It seems there is two parts of that boss anyways lol I wanted to say that I was close to beat him.
It makes more sense now how to use magic after you explained! I was not able to get it (I was just spamming keys).
Now for the most important part that you want to know: Will I do more for your game? Well an easy answer would be yes! But... and I am sure you will understand me... I am having too much requests here, so I can't go back and finish the game now, however, I can surely take a look at it again after you update. Looking forward to see the end of that demo to be honest!
I completely understand you, you've already given me priority so I thank you for that anyways, If I fix the demo I will let you know but will understand if you don't have time to re visit it. Thanks for your time.
I've been looking into the issue with the tutorial text boxes and cannot seem to recreate it. I was wondering if you would be willing to tell me a few things that could help me figure out what happened.
- What recording software where you using?
- Where you playing the game on a multi monitor setup?
- I saw in the video the resolution was set to 1440 : 900, is that the resolution of your monitor; and, is that the resolution windows is set to use?
Thanks for your patience, I'm hoping to solve these issues so they do not affect other players in the future.
Hey! No problem, as long as I can help easily I would do it!
I am using Wondershare Filmora to record my videos. The games are played on one moniter that is set to 1440 : 900, and I think it is related to the resolution because I noticed once uploaded to YouTube they are not on full screen (there is a little of black sceen in both sides, left and right) unlike when I was recording in older Laptop that has 1366 : 768. It might be the resolution of 1440 : 900.
Hope this helps out!
It very well may have something to do with the resolution of your monitor, I will look into it, thanks for the information.
Hello uncleAlias, I played your Bird Panic game and I have made a gameplay review video about it! Here are also some notes as well. I would appreciate for you to join my YouTube channel. The more people join in, the more I am motivated to do these reviews.
The video has more to show than these notes over here! I would love also to see this game hit the multiplayer option.
Thanks so much for playing it! Because of COVID, I rarely get to actually see someone play it for the first time and give commentary, so it was really useful. A few notes/questions:
- The HUD at the top of the screen isn't supposed to look like that.... Can I ask what resolution you're desktop was on or if you use any screen scaling?
- There are 2 types of platforms - the loose dirt ones can be dropped down/jumped through, but the rocky ones can't. I'm currently working on making them look more different from each other. Seeing the things you missed will really help me focus on what to make clearer!
- When you tried Classic mode and the game suddenly ended, is it possible you pressed "U" and then "G" for some reason? Those are cheats keys that trigger "Unlimited Hearts" and "Game Over", which seems to be what happened by looking at the screen. The game doesn't normally end like that! BTW, It says "P2 Press (A) to join" so that a second (or third or fourth) player can join with gamepads.
- the message after level 5 wasn't meant to signify the end of the game. There are 11 levels in total. I think I will make it so that message is displayed on game over instead.
- right now the gems are just used as an overall score, but I hope to add a system where you can buy things with them, or you need a certain number to get past certain points.
I'll be replying to the post you made on my game page as well, but it won't contain any information that isn't here. (Edit: and thank you for posting there too, I feel like it might encourage more engagement)
Thanks again for making the video! I got a really big bump in traffic from it. I'll try to send some your way in return.
Hi uncleAlias, I am happy to see all of this notes from you, it makes me feel good that the gameplay reviews that I am doing are actually helping devs here.
- The issue you saw with the HUD is probably due to my resolution, you are right! I am using 1440 : 900 and that is because I changed my setup and settings 2 months ago! (Some devs had similar to different issues when I play test their game and they never had it before, I blame my resolution lol).
- I didn't even notice that there is 2 types of platforms, It will be nice if you add some texts about it to explain it too.
- Those cheats keys might affect your game in a negative way! I mean think about it, one slip from the player on his keyboard and the game changes ;) or get over!
For one more explanation! I tend to post here to replay to your post and copy paste the same to your game page in order to help devs to notice that I finally made the video for them and also for other devs that might be interested in your game!
If you made enough changes and updates make sure to contact me (there is email adress, instagram...etc) I noticed that doing fellow up videos showing updates or making a gameplay series gives more traffic to you developers! I had some acknowledge that. ALL THE BEST!
The issue you saw with the HUD is probably due to my resolution, you are right! I am using 1440 : 900...
Yup! Changed it to that and it messed it right up! Have to look into that.
I didn't even notice that there is 2 types of platforms, It will be nice if you add some texts about it to explain it too.
Thanks! Yeah, I'm really gonna work on making the random tips at the beginning/end of the levels more noticeable.
Those cheats keys might affect your game in a negative way! I mean think about it, one slip from the player on his keyboard and the game changes ;) or get over!
Okay but, just to be clear, is that what you think happened? You pressed some odd keys and the game ended? I just want to know in case something else is triggering the cheats for some reason.
If you made enough changes and updates make sure to contact me (there is email adress, instagram...etc) I noticed that doing fellow up videos showing updates or making a gameplay series gives more traffic to you developers! I had some acknowledge that. ALL THE BEST!
Will do! And again, thank you for giving my traffic a boost! Since you posted your video I've gotten over 100 views and 40 plays and they are definitely almost all from this thread! Cheers!
Happy to hear from you again! And really surprised you got 40 plays! That is a good amount of boost!
I have noticed that your gameplay video on my YouTube did good too for the last 10 games I have played on itch.io (at least 10 last games, it might be more) and your 16 minutes video has been watched for 1.5 hours (which is good comparing to typical watch time this week) All of this is honestly to your game being good and interesting to play! So if you are satisfied by the your boost you should know it is all due to your game being good ;)
For the cheat codes! it is really up to you! It is just a personal opinion here lol (you should get more feedback on that before doing anything I would say).
Yeah, I'm not arguing with you about the cheat codes, I'm just trying to get clarification about what happened that triggered them.
Is it on PlayStore for android? I do understand the hard work you have put on that! Therefore I will check with a friend of mine who play Mobile games! For me I can't do something out of the style of my YouTube channel! I am sure you understand that!
Hi there GameChef! I have made a gameplay review video for your Black Cato! Such an interesting new concept! I really like the style. I hope you can also join our YouTube channel, it does help a lot to see new ppl and devs join in.
The gameplay concept is new to me and it is really interesting! I truly like the idea. WELL DONE!
Hi there friend! Plz copy past this post to our new thread about Mobile/Android games! We created a new one for that since this is only for PC games.
A lot of ppl here kept asking about mobile games so we went with a new thread and a new project with mobile games.
Hey! I made this game in about a week for the GoGodot jam. I would love to hear your feedback if you have time to play it.
https://blastmode.itch.io/legend-of-the-evil-tree
Hey there! I had some issues so I was away from making reviews here, but I am back somehow now! I tried your game but couldn't get footage for you in a YouTube video (The recording keeps failing) The reason of this is the resolution inside the game which I had this with some other games before, so I solve this by opening the game on windows display mode instead of fullscreen... However, your game does not have that option.
Here are some notes anyways:
- I loved the concept of the slightly open world style!
- The battle system is good! Well done with that.
- There is a noticable delay when loading between the different areas.
- Jumping on those moving platforms is easy but once you are there you can see the player flickering a little bit (It is normal though, doesn't affect your game).
I would love to play your game again and make a video about it. In case you added option of changing settings let me know.
Salam, Zakaria!
We meet again! I have a new visual novel for you hahahah. This time it was done under 48 hours - made for GameMaker's Toolkit jam (GMTK game jam). As always, I'd like to see your take on my game and your reviews will help us a lot in improving the game!

Salam Alikom Roomah Gaming,
I finally found the time to make a gameplay review video about it. Like usual... Your games are great. For the time you had to make this game you really did good. All the best in your future games (I want to make a small interview with you if you are interested).
Smiling here while reading your comment Hahaha.
Just to be clear: It is via Discord and only voice! But I do understand it, even me I am shy :p
Hey there Mechanical Ink, I have here below your gameplay review YouTube video! I hope this will give some boost to your game page and helps with updating it as well. I would be glad if you could help me out by subscribing to my YouTube channel! It does help out to keep me doing these reviews here. Here are some notes as well:
The video contains more info and more reviews! I hope my reaction to your Reaction was good ;) I wish all the best for your game.
Hey, many thanks for the review, I enjoyed it and laughed out loud at a few times watching it. Wrote down all of your observations and (I know this will sound like such a cheap excuse, but honestly) I was amazed by the amount of luck (bad luck in this case) you had with that piece and how all of the conditions aligned for it to be launched at such a speed and cause a game over. I will definitely have to look into this :). Anyway, thanks again, I've liked and subscribed to your channel and will share it soon.

Hey there Stars Studio, I have finally taken enough time to manage and deliver the gameplay review YouTube video. I hope this will help you with your game! Also, it will be great if you joined to my YouTube channel, it does support me a lot to see developers who I make reviews like this for them to keep me doing more of these.
I would love to see more of this game in the future for sure ;)
Thank you so much for an amazing review! This was my first 3d game, and that too after a long time. The crosshair in the middle is supposed to help with aiming. That is why I intended to keep the dot.
Also, I wanted the game to be short and crisp to give that true effect of a nightmare, and I'm glad it worked out well. I enjoyed watching your gameplay reaction :D Thank you once again!
Hey Zakaria,
Would you be interested checking out The Struggle of Combat.
Its 100% off for rest of the month. I can send you key if you read this later though.
I have given a gameplay review video as you asked on my channel. I hope this helps and I honestly enjoyed your game. Keep working on it, I see huge promises in this game. I checked your YouTube channel too! I am following so I don't miss any updates. Feel free to contact me again if you have anything for me to cover it up for you. It would be nice if you did subscribe to my YouTube channel. Here is the video:
Hello again! I recently added a new update to my game, Hack FPS. This update adds 10 more levels and fixes a ton of bugs. If you could play it, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
thanks for your video! If you had any problems with the game, they have likely been fixed with the 1.4 update.
Hello Zakaria, I'm glad you do these reviews for the developers because it really helps us out a lot to see mistakes as well as to see how engaging the games are. Anyways, I appreciate players and testers like you. I do have a game that I would like for you to review if you can. It's not downloadable but it's free and you can play it in the browser on pc. Hopefully the game saturations isn't too much for you. My game is a 2D retro shooting game inspired by old arcade games and I just released the demo a day ago. I would like to see your honest review or opinion if you can or have time.
https://blackclanstudios.itch.io/maze-zone-demo
Hello BlackClanStudios, I am going to be honest with you, ususally I don't playtest browser games since I used to have some technical issues while recording and sometimes so Net connection issues! So I didn't make a YouTube video for your game, but I did tried it and here are some notes that might help you out (I will focuse my notes on things that you can improve):
- The game looks great and the story is well formed (I know this is a demo so I am sure you will include that story written in your game page to the in-game system).
- I find it a little bit hard to control the ship so it doesn't hit the walls, but it is more difficult when facing enemies as I can't even slow down to get a clear shot on them.
- The walls sometimes vanish, I managed to take a screen of one of them (If you focus on the mini-map you will see there is a wall but in the game I see empty spavce, this confuses players).
- The shooting systems for enemies are much faster than the player! If more than 2 enemies are in attacking me at the same time, it is a 100% loss.
I would love to review each game with a gameplay YouTube video, if your game or any other game you make is downloadable, feel free to contact me again. Hope this helps out.
Thanks so much. I appreciate you taking your time to do this. I have not seen that happened at all with the walls sometimes disappearing. It could be something browser related maybe. I always use google chrome and when I tested another game I made a while back on Microsoft edge, it played horribly lol. So I always have a better experience using chrome. I will make the game downloadable soon, I have a brother who wants to try it, so I will give him time to play it while it's up. Maybe then you could do a video review of it if your still interested despite already giving a written review lol. Thank you tho, I appreciate it a lot.
You are probably right about the Chrome and other browseres! For the video I will make it as soon as you make your game downloadable. Just let me know.
Hey, I hope your all settled from your recent moving. I just came back to let you know the game is downloadable for about 24hrs. So it should give you enough time to download when you get time to. Hopefully everything works right because this is the first time I ever just had my game for download and I don't know how it's going to look if theres no way to play it fullscreen. But anyways, it's ready for you😊
Hi there Fabian, I have seen your post on my thread and I finally managed to upload a video about your game... The game is fantastic to play. I am really impressed without a doubt! I really had more than 15 GB of footage about your gameplay but I can't really upload them all (Due to very weak upload speed we have) It will take days and even weeks with the PC open and I had to try to re-upload the video again each time electricty goes off or the net falls down a little bit. I really enjoyed your game a lot. (I am also doing TOP 10 each month on my YouTube channel, so your game is 100% on the list for this month) Here the video:
Hey there Warlines Studios, I had many thing to take care of and it has been slow for me working on these videos lately. I would love for a little bit of support like subscribing to my YouTube channel. I do say it is a good game and you will probably have some boost in the upcoming days for this one (I hope so). Some stuff need to be fixed here and there, but most important one is the loading and saving time (It lags and freezes the game for a bit each time). Here is the video for your game:
Hey there Zakaria!
That was a great video, thanks for playing Desert Front! We will also try our best to improve the games in the future :D
You got 2 fresh subscribers :>
You guys are so nice... with 2 subscribers? That is so helpful and I do appreciate that a lot.
And Yes, I did enjoyed Desert Front a lot.
Hey guys! We have just submited our entry to the Idie Tales Jam, a 48h Game Jam with the theme "One Room" ("One Room")! Our Game is basically a Tower Defense game mixed with Minigames.
We don't have much experience with art and sound, but we are satisfied with the result!
It would be great to hear some feedback and suggestions. Any kind of comment helps a lot in our development!
Hi there mikomoares, I finally found the time to make a gameplay review video about your game Tito's Nightmare. It is really fun and exciting! I would love to see more. It will be great if you also join my YouTube channel, it does support me to do more of these reviews. Here is your video for the game:
Hey Zak, I hope I find you well. I've been working on Beneath the Mountain for 7 months now and would love to get some feedback. A review of the game with your thoughts would be awesome! Let me give you the short version:
You play as the king of dwarves, building a new kingdom under the mountain. It plays like an RTS game where you mine through the mountain, breaking into caves, defeating enemies, and defending against orc invasions.
I hope its your kind of game, and that you enjoy it, but I treasure your true feedback (don't be gentle!). Thank you!
-Max

Hey there Max, here is the gameplay review video you asked for. I normally give long written details like you can see on my thread. However, the support has been so low this last month, so you gotta watch the full video to konw what ideas and feedback I gave your game. I hope this is okay with you and wish it will help. It will be great if you subscribed to my YouTube channel, it helps a lot. Here is the video:
Hello my name is pixelanto here’s my game https://pixelanto.itch.io/pig
if you have a problem with the pc version use the mobile version 😀
Hey there Sd_Studios! I just finished your game and the video is up already now. Such a great horror game you have! I love all the jumpscares; they are perfectly well done! The House is a great game! Keep up, I want to see more. I did had a problem not being able to watch the tape in the room where you find it. It keep disappearing each time, you might wanna check with that one. There is also a Discord server for devs that I just created so hit me up if you are interested. It will be great if you dropped a sub to my YouTube channel. It does motivate me to do more of these reviews. Here is your video:
We are working hard on this game. We are almost done with the 2nd update. We fixed the tape a long time ago.
We appreciate the support. We are working on the next update. It will be the biggest one so far.
Hi there kimduy91, I had finally play tested your game recently, just had issues to upload the gameplay video. I must say I am not a fan of JRPG but your game seems cool enough to spend some time with it. I know the gameplay is long in your game but I decided to make the video short. Here is the video and I would be glad for your support as well by joining my YouTube channel:
I must also say to you that it is better to lower the amount of the info that you give to players at the start and better give them what they need when they need it, this can frustrate most players as I noticed a lot of my viewers hates me when I try to read a lot on my videos that I make.
Thanks for playing the game! You didn't seem to like the gameplay itself much and it does take a while to get into (applies to the story, too). I understand that you can't find the time do so. At least you seem to enjoy the music ♪
True! I didn't take enough time with the game! JRPG games always take at least an hour before entering to the real intended gameplay, which at this point I really can not record 1h+ videos before getting to the main story! I do love the taste of music you, it is true. I am sure some other people would love to spend more than I did on your game.
Hi there Gentleman10, your game Faceless sounds so good, I was looking to play-testing it. However, each time I open the game there is a big crash that affects my entire PC and everything is being frozed... I did tried your game in 2 different devices and in both cases it had the same crash.
If you are interested to join in with our server for devs, hit me up on my Discord.
MHHH...
It is a pity, i'm sorry. I see in the first pitcure you can enter in the game but when you load the game's scene there is a crash.
I don't know what is the problem beacuse in my pc and my friends's pc all is okay.. if i reload the file do you think that something can change?
Thank you :(
Hello! I'm making a simple game called "Square".

Oskay's Adventure
A 2d chaotic platformer game!
Hi there Mellohyu, I have had a lot of fun playing your game and it is well done... I would love to see more levels for this game. Here is the YouTube video and I would love if you joined the channel:
Salam, Zakaria, about saturation, is this too much or not enough?
It's a prototype: https://roomahgaming.itch.io/techna-prototype
Aw, thank you brother, you're so sweet! Thank you for the info too. I will take note about that!
Hi Zakaria,
I recently released a new game: The Kolarian Trials. It's a top down boss rush. It's available to play for free as a windows download or directly from the browser. Let me know if you have a chance to give it a try. All feedback is appreciated :D
https://francisco-caal.itch.io/the-kolarian-trails
hey i have a platform game that is about halfway but id like to know if it plays right. There are some bugs but it is perfectly playable.
If you like would you give me a review? It doesn't have to be all good points i would like to know where i stand. The most important thing id like to know if it's fun playing or not.
https://retrodries.itch.io/jimmys-wild-apple-adventure
Thanks
Hi there Dries Van Gijsel, and what a name XD... First of all, I can not make a gameplay reivew video about your game as it is a browser game and I have it in my rules that I can't play online game (for my personal reasons). However, I see that you need help and I have did spent some time testing the game and I found that:
- The mechanics are good and music suits the game and it is synchronized with gameplay.
- The style is simple and very well done, I really liked it personally.
- There is three heart before you lose a life, but here what I do not get it! You lose a life, then all the apples you collected restart again, I really don't see the point of having more lives if everything is restarted. Just let all restart without having lives or give something to the player like leaving the apples he collected.
- Hitting the bombs takes a heart from you, even if they do not explode (it is a little bit unfair because you can not do anything about it once you are so close to the monster who shoots the bomb at you).
I hope these small points help you with your game. All the best.
Hey ZakariaGhorfati,
Thanks for your reply. Yeah you did what I asked, and no of course...you didn't need to make a video about it please no...it's still a game in production so I don't want to show it to the public now. But it's great to have a reply altough my game is indeed a browser game and not your standard project to review.
I am glad you liked the game overall, that the mechanics are good and that you like the simplistic artstyle.. Just reading that gives a good indication that I am on the right track.
You pointed out a bug/glitch with the bombs. Haven't seen it but I'll check it out as soon as I can. Like I said there are some bugs and inefficiencies so that's totally fine.
About the restarting life and score/apples. Ok I can understand, maybe when you restart the apples you don't have to start from zero..but..
.when you say you don't understand the reason of having lives...you do know that there are some more levels after the level you played don't you? The lives are needed because you will go on a multi leveled adventure with some boss fights between it. Correct me but I don't think you have played them.
I mean that's ok, I already can't thank you enough for giving this unfinished project a go, but that is the reason why I need lives.
So thanks for the help.
I love all tiny bits of info and comment I can work it. I am now making the third level and it's going good so yeah i'll keep you guys updates.
Hi there Alex Kramer, I did played your game and I have given my review inside the video. Also, the melee attack is not working I guess, you should check that out. You can join our Discord server for devs and I would love it for you to subscribe to my YouTube channel, because it will help me and motivate me to make more gameplay reviews in the future.
Hi. I'm looking for reviewers for a while and I found your thread.
If visual novels are your cup of tea, you could feature my VN’s demo. It shows the first chapter with two premature ends.
4 Alice Magical Autistic Girls by Mia Blais-Côté (itch.io)
Hi there Mia, I will be posting this on your page game too in case you missed this! I want to say that your game is so good! I have played the demo and had about 40 minute of worth content for a great gameplay review video! However, it was corrupted and all is lost! The amount of joy and sadness I got from this game was so great and I captured the perfect reactions of me in a long time! Although is lost, I tried to re-record another one but there was a threat detected and it tried to change my log files! So I had to drope the recording idea!
I really loved your game and it has to be one of the greatest visual novels I have played! Great voice acting and I believe it is yours! I did checked your channel and been watching some videos and I am interested to see more of your contents. I had both endings by the way! The first one was so fast I thought that is it XD
The "threat detected" are false postives by a couple of antivirus. Something to do with ren'py and the way it works. I posted a topic about it.
"I made a full scan here: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/6702bbb07156d090569cc0320e73b78c7a882cdcc2d362d3bc2ff24e211d52cc
Only Cylance and Jiangmin show "unsafe". If your antivirus show "unsafe", it's a false positive. The game is clean. No virus."
It should not touch your log files. As for the voice acting, it's by Chloé Guerin.
I'll still ask on the Ren'py discord 'cause the whole log file issue is strange.
Update: Get this awnser. "I think it [ren'py] writes to its own log file as it starts up, but what might aggravate anti-virus on Windows is using self-voicing because I think that tries to write a vbscript file and then execute it." My game don't use self-voicing by default but it does use the "voice" audio channel.
Update again (so sorry) : Maybe the Steam demo might not give you troubles, then again it's the same files.
It is alright Mia, stuff like this happens in the gaming community! I wish all the best for your 4 girls!
Hi there again Mia, I have changed my recording software and did so many tests to finally be able to record your gameplay walkthrough review! I know you have been through hard times in order to promote your game, and I know you are about to give up many times, espacially that you invested a lot of money on this project! Just keep going because you already invested a lot, promote the game with every single day! Sometimes a game does not do well at the start and after few weeks or months it blows up! I really hope all the best for you and your little 4 magical girls!
It is a very powerful game and I was able to relate to many topics!
Wow, thank you so much! While I will delist it from Steam, it will remain on itch.io and I might put there my old, delisted Steam releases too.
Hi there Nevada, I have played your game and gave my review on the gameplay video provided here! I must say sometimes the killing does not work as fast as you think it would happen XD. However, I did had fun playing your game! I would love for you to subscribe and join my YouTube channel, because it does help and motivate me to keep doing these gameplay reviews here!
Holy shit thank you
Btw working on a fix soon and what you played was most likely just the demo
I reccomend buying the full game since it comes with the DLC that I am working on :DDDD
Thank you so much :DDDD
Thank you for this opportunity. I made a maths educational game called Maths Vs Robots
It’s a maths educational game where you fight evil robots in a post apocalyptic world by solving various maths problems. I hope you get the time to check it out.
I’m terribly sorry for that. Have you tried running the old hardware version ? I did try to test it before uploading on computers with i5 processors and it did run but it didn’t run when I tested it on computers with i3 processors. Also I noticed when testing it on older computers that if it freezes it doesn’t freeze until the cutscene finishes and the screen changes. Here I can see in your video that the cutscene didn’t finish as it’s supposed to change screen after a few seconds. Have you tried waiting for a few seconds until the screen changes or did you wait for a while and the screen didn’t change ? I didn’t program that screen to be skipped so I would give the player a chance to read the custscene & since you can hear the clicks it means it’s not frozen yet so I don’t know if you waited and it didn’t change or not ? If you waited and the screen remained as I can see in the video please let me know if that’s the case since I haven’t encountered that behavior before & it would be helpful to know so I can attempt to fix it. Anyway thank you for taking the time for trying my game and I’m sorry it didn’t work. Regards.
These kind of issues happen when making games! No worries! So for you to know I am using Ryzen 5, I don't know if screen resolution affects that but just in case in the computer that I tried to test, it is 1440*900
And yes, I did waited longer than it shows on the video, and I did tried it multiple times and same results! I had to force it to end in order to exit from the game as anything I press does not lead to any! However, since you said you tried it on i3 and it didn't run, I believe it has to do with the game not being optimized for all CPUs! Not sure though! I hope these data helps out sir!
Hi ZakariaGhorfati. I would like to suggest you my game that I recently made. I hope it can give you fun and some experience.
Hi there, I have played your game and It was so damn good! I loved the atmoshpere!
- The sound effects are so cool! Music is lovely (Although here I would have wanted to adjust volume, so adding sound options would be great)
- This game is a MUST to play game! I had extreme jumpscares, was recording almost midnight XD
- I found some gramatical mistakes (Hice instead of Nice for example: I did mentioned that in the video, you will be able to see it easily)
- When entering into a room we see the doors! However, to exit I see no doors lol! It is just a wall!
- That ending of the demo was so damn cool! Makes anyone playing this game to want to see more! Well done with all
- The sounds when firing from the gun are not the best, I would recommend to change them (Espacially when you meet that S.W.A.T man)
I have talked a lot in the video about other stuff! I really love this game! Here is the gameplay review video and if you have not already joined in the channel I would really be glad for you to do, because it does keep me on going making these reviews for indie games on YouTube!
Thank you very much for the play and the feedback. It is very important for me!) I joined in the your channel)
I am so glad to hear that the feedback is that important and even happier to know you joined my channel! Really wish all the best for your game!
Hi theree Wingedevil, It took me a long time to beat the game and I had to do it on the easiest mode! Playing on Normal is insane and super hard! I loved your game!
I am also a student who just finished his University, keep it up guys with studies and keep making games on the side! Studies and having a diploma would not be always working in today's world; talking from experience! Always have other projects and plans on the side! Good luck!
It is crazy that I read all what you have written on your game page but when playing the game I didn't know that I could upgrade and have different weapons XD
My little brother loved your game as well (He is a big fan of Isaac games) I do wish if the maps were more auto generated, because after playing this game for so long I could see a pattern with the enemies and maps! They do tend to repeat! The game is super great though! I really enjoyed it
I love the idea of doing your best to avoid enemy attacks and having your character auto fire at them!
Well done with the sound effects and music!
Really great game, keep it up!
I would love for you to join my YouTube channel, because it really does keep me motivated to do more of these gameplay test videos, espacially long ones like this one!
Hi there IrisEdgeStudios, I have checked your game: Cowardly Heroes, and it does not even download when I hit that button of download! I see that you had some issues with "No supported devices"! I really want to help but I have no idea what is wrong here! Also, I can not play mobile games! I do not have a good phone for that, mine is only for work and can't run games properly; I playtest PC games, so in case you made one, feel free to contact me again!
Good luck with fixing the issue sir!
Hi! Hitting the download button simply opens this page: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.IrisEdgeStudios.CowardlyHeroes
It isnt working because you have pop-ups disabled in your browser most likely!
Hello, I don't know if my game is suitable for your channel, but I'll post it here anyway:
https://yegres.itch.io/fotograf-demo
I hope you enjoyed the game
Hi there Yegres, I have played your game FOTOGRAF DEMO and this is the gameplay review video! The music and sound effects are so good! I loved the story and how it has mystery.
And you are not, this is not the style of games that I play on my channel. However, I give chance to those who have different ideas and art style, espacially that it is safe and clean content! I was so focused with the story to be honest, deserves to be checked out!
I am only asking this because it is the only thing keeps me doing these reviews on itch.io! I hope you can subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep me motivated and doing more of these!
Hi there Agent_K Productions, I have to pass on this one sir, I don't play Mods of any game, I honestly created this to help developers here with original games, Mods are not my thing overall! And also, YouTube has a strict policy towards musical games! If you had or have any game (away from mod) be free to contact me again!
NB: I did refused another game with a mod here, it has been recently as well and you can check the comments to find it and see yourself.
Hey there alexsollazzo, you were right, the game looks so cute and the graphics are on the top, you really did amazing with this platformer game!
I gave the game my best, for more than a week I have been trying to beat the game! I honestly could not make it XD! I enjoyed it a lot, espacially the dance moves! I hope this gameplay video helps a bit to showcase your game more.
I would appreciate for you to join my YouTube channel, because the more devs joining in the more I can make gameplay reviews here! I also joined your YouTube channel and I might check your other games too, I have see some videos there about others that you made before, really good art style you have. Best of luck:
Thanks so much for making the video, it turned out really good ! Always great seeing someone enjoying the game and maybe raging abit hehe :) I joined your youtube, looking forward to more videos of other indie games !
Hey NinNeko, I am not sure about your game and what you are asking here! Your game is so short and it is only about picking and letting go with simple buttons! I am unable to make a gameplay walkthrough review about your game Claw Machine, and I am sure you do understand!
I must also say that I am unable to put browser games on the channel! If this is your first game sir, do not worry! Just put on perspective that games need a story (context), a plot (something that is challenging if you made a game about puzzles or platformer).
Hello MarleyTho, I have cleared some space for your platformer game! I gotta be honest with you, I suffered to get to make sense how the game works! At first (in the first recording session that got corrupted), At first, I really thought I was running and I am in control but later I noticed it is automatically! I did mentioned a lot of things on the video! If you are looking for some constructive feedback you will find it there and I can help further more. I really hope that this video helps out as I see it from both: developer and gamer perspectives.
You don't have to but it will really help me if you subscribed to my YouTube channel, because this will motivate me to make more of these gameplway walkthrough reviews, here is the video about your game:
Hey there LumbirBwut, it took me time to make a complete gameplay walkthrough review video for your game. I was aiming for the perfect score but your game is so challenging, which is really good.
I was super into the story, it was a really good one that has a realistic voice and makes an impact when you focus with it. Really loved it.
The controls are a little bit hard and I did faced some difficulties to get used to them (They are only hard when you don't know how the stick wall jump works, I thought at first I should be holding the button direction to the wall to stay there xD)
Sound effects and all realted to sound is good, although they are sometimes out of sync (I mentioned this with details in the end of the video)
I have mentined a lot of things by the end of the video and gave my first impressions at that start! Loved the challenge of the game. I wish all the best in your project and your next ones!
That is hell of a nice review 💖
It's so nice to see someone dedicated his time to the game and enjoyed it 😀
I definitly wanted to make a platformer and tell a story in parallel, listening to you I feel like I have succeeded, which is very nice.
I totally agree that the controls are a bit harsh sometime...
Nice to hear that you enjoyed the sound design of the game, it was super hard for me to setup as am I not at all a musician.
Thanks a lot for this huge video test, it was a lot of work too, congratulations 🎉
One of the cool games and I do consider this as a platformer game XD... Very challenging, Awesome work!
Hi you did rate my game with 2 stars I think half a year ago. Now I have version 3.6.1 if you check it and review your rating I will be happy about it. Its a android mobile free to play game. Download link is here:https://marionettecz.itch.io/space-escape-obstacles
Game is little bit easyer. Rocket movement is more smooth, graphic design is improved, some bugs are repaired. UI for user is more user friendly and much more. Thank you and have a nice day.
Hi Space Escape Obstacles,
We are sorry to say that our team has been devided, we are no longer doing mobile phones (I am just using "we" for formality, I am working by myself now and it is so hard to do everything by myself, I am doing only PC games now).
Also, I lost all data and most of our accounts on the phone, I had to format my cell-phone for legal and business issues with the team I had.
I don't remember if I posted here or on the other post, but I never got a response about My Dear Kitsune. Is it too high-saturation? Is it too gory? Is it obscure and getting mistaken for a virus? Are the glitches too frightening? Anyway, I would love a review so that I could see what to change when I make the sequel (I might make a DLC, I'm not sure) I was just making sure you see it. I hope that you enjoy the game. From: Kawaii-Kowai Games
The remake to My Dear Kitsune is here now! It has new stories added too, so I recommend it! Play the game here.
Hey there Kawaii-Kowai Games, and no! You have never posted here, this is the first time we hear from you. We advice you in future posts like this (in our community page here or another one) to check first before you say such things, because it does sound like you are accusing us the way you put your words together! Always check first! And also, when we refuse a game for any reason of the reasons mentioned, we tend to notify any developer to post here with mentioning the reason to them again! It is from our work ethics because we are here honestly to help developers get thier game better and being heard more! You can check the posts above you to see examples of that.
With that being said, we have played tested your visual novel game and we saw a cool interesting story! I have personally put a lot of feedback into the gameplay video walkthrough! We appreciate you joining to our YouTube channel, because the more people join in the fastest and more this chance gets to others! Without us growing this could have not reached you and we would have probably stopped long ago if we didn't find support!
We see that you also posted a remake for this game, we will do our best to find time to play-test that too as soon as possible!
Note: This is a one man-band, meaning I am working by myself, only using "we" for formality! It is really hard for me since my teamate left me! I hope you will be patient with me to get back to you with your remake game!
Here is the video:
Thanks for letting me know, I will try to remember next time as I thought I posted somewhere else. I guess it was a different person. I didn't remember that I could check my community posts on my profile before (or maybe that post was before I knew how) as this was my first Ren'Py game and a start to developing games without Scratch. Thanks again for both replying and playing the game, and have a good day(:
Totally understood! No worries, thank you for being kind and nice! Thank you for wishing me a good day, that is nice to hear, I hope for you a better day.
Stay motivated, keep up the good work, you will get graditude and all what wish for with time, just give time some time!
Also, here are some explanations for things wrong with the game. If I forget to list one, I may have forgot (or fixed it in the sequel).
Background re-use: rooms often look similar or the same in video games, so it makes it more game-like and obvious.
Game closing when you ask Kitsune for help: just a jumpscare
Music fading out: I don't know how to make soundtracks for a game, so I use public domain music. I did, however, make some remixes in the remake/sequel (you don't have to play it because it was intended to be a paid DLC, chose to make it free but left the about page the same as an Easter egg).
Sudden horror elements: the reason why it's tagged as "horror" and has that warning. If you were to continue the game and not save everyone (you got the good ending first try, good job by the way!) you'd get the neutral ending or bad ending depending on what you do, but don't worry about making a part 2, as the good ending was replaced with a different good ending in the sequel, and those scenes are certain to happen.
No sound effects: there are sound effects, but not a lot. There are more in the sequel.
Thanks for reading and again, have a nice day, Makenzie.
Hey Makanzie. Thank you so much for all the explanations! I hope people read these here when they see your gameplay walkthrough video!
And thank you for wishing me a nice day, I was having tough times lately! It means a lot to me. I wish you a great day and better days to come, espacially with making games! Practice makes improvement, that is what I learned from doing YouTube and each time I look back I see how much I was bad XD. I hope you take this same approach with making more games in the future: There is always room for improvements.
I did a gameplay video for your remake game, the same time you posted your explanations here. Just took me time to upload it.
You don't need to watch it because there is nothing new from what I mentioned before except that in your texts, the letter " i " looks a bit like the letter " l "
Again, thank you for all and have a good day Makanzie.
Thanks for playing the sequel! The font I chose was a bit bold, but hopefully the context of each word helps with whether it's an l or i. If you look at the bottom of the screen, there's a skip button for parts you've passed, so if you want to get other endings, you can use that. If you pick anything except for asking Kitsune for help, you will get a much longer story. (unless you pick the wrong choice when you get to talk to Kitsune. So you can save there.) After that, there are 2 main stories depending on who you think the villain is. So you can save there, too. There's more of a fantasy/magic theme in the added parts, so I hope you enjoy it. (the original ended when you talked to Kitsune if you get the bad or neutral ending) You don't need to record these other endings, it's only if you want to look deeper into the story. Thanks for playing the game, thanks for reading this, and have an amazing day (and holidays!)
Oh, and I will be working on future projects more than Kitsune. Unless it really succeeds. If it gets popular, I might make a side story with the new characters(:
I wish for you all the best with your future projects. If you need someone to playtest your games (even during development where you have to keep it private) just contact me. I will be glad to help anyone who need help, as long as I am capable!
It has been a pleasure and reading your messages shows me that you are a good person! Keep up the good work and let us see your next game.
Hey again, I tried your game many times, I really could not record a gameplay video for it.
By the way, the download file is an HTML which takes me back to my browser.
The game looks good, I like the crafting system you have there, it is fun to play also.
I am not a fan of being a "God" in any game, and you can imagine how much troubles I can get to put that on YouTube these days (if I could record it) You really have to be so carful when making a game or a video on YouTube, things have changed a lot and people judge directly and aggressively too.
I am a fan of building and crafting, as well as running a farm which what this game gave me as vibes.
It is a little bit hard to spot that there is a build button up the screen, I was clicking on the lands hoping for something to happen at first.
You can get money it seems even if you don't place anythinng.
The night takes so long to pass XD... It a nice game! I wish these point are to help to you sir!
Hey pixel_game_dev,
Your game looks from what I can see, very interesting to play.
Too bad that we don't do mobile games! Only PC games for now sir!
I honestly wish I can add mobile games, but for equipments reasons, we can't at this moment.
Have a nice day, Zakaria.
Hey there vladstoj, for sure I review your public alpha version Datura Time. I gotta be honest, I have not played retro games since a very long time... It is good to go back to the old times, very good nostalgia feelings. I would be very thankful for you to join in to my YouTube channel, because with every dev subscribing it give this moral support and boost to keep doing this, here is the video and below you will see some comments:
The element of mystery is so cool and present in the game! Although, I didn't know when the other characters would stop chatting to you (like the one painting the wall with pink)
Man! The camera movement, that got me dizzy XD and it took me a while to get used to that! I know it is part of the style of the game.
That larg area where you have to fight those men using Molotoves, that was a very cool part of the game... I like the fact you go from narrow hallways places to large areas, it made the game more playable (From a player experience point of you, didn't expect that)
The shooting system is so hard, and what makes it even harder is the fact once spotted by one enemy, all of them in that given area rushes you, which you are killed almost directly! (I could not finish this alpha version, I kept recording for hours to beat that open area military men)
The melee attacks takes so long to kill an enemy, at least this is how I felt (watching the video about it might give you an idea how long).
Having this retro style game made this way is really good! You did a good job and that's a plus when you had the horror and mysterious element being implemented in the game.
Thank you very much for your video and detailed review - really appreciate it! I will take into account the comments for the next version of the game and on what I can improve on gameplay wise. I've subscribed to your youtube channel and will keep an eye out for any interesting videos ;)
I am glad this feedback can help and have the possibility to help build the game better. Really thankfull for you, subscribing to my channel actually gives me that mental positive boost towards making more of these, espacially with a small channel, the impact of seeing your support is huge to me.
In case you made some decent updates to the game, don't hesitate to let me know, I would love to see more of your game.
I would love some feedback on my game Forgodden! :) It is a titan souls-like boss battle game I made in 7 days for the GMC Jam #43! :)
Hey there Gizmo199, the fact that you made this game in 7 days that's awesome! For sure it is so fun to play Forgodden. I honestly tried my best with almost 3 to 4 days since you posted here, to try to beat the final boss (I assume that's the final boss XD) It is so hard.
Here is your gameplay walkthrough video for your game, I hope you can enjoy and perhaps join the YouTube channel, because it really does help me to support me morally, seeing people and espacially devs being in this commuinty gives me a boost to keep going with making such videos and reviews:
I would keep playing until I get it, but I am sure it will take me longer! I had to delete a lot of recorded failed attempts haha. Based on that, you might want to reduce the intesnity or give a hint to how to beat the bosses (in game I mean; in the help or how to play section! I know you posted a link for that in your game page).
The graphics are so good, even there is reflections of the character on the water! I was impressed to see that so accurate!
I loved the hype of the music and the intense sound tracks and sound effects! That helped a lot to put the fast-paced mood in the game.
I guess all is good about your game! I have so far only positive feedback except from the game being so difficult! And that suits your game a lot! So much challenging and engaging.
omg I am so thankful for you taking time to play and record your experience!! That means so much! Yeah it is a bit difficult without having some outside knowledge.haha. funny enough, I was so worried about making the bosses too hard that I completely made the puzzles to beat them even more difficult! Lol. Thanks so much! I will absolutely give you a follow and can't wait to watch this! Thank you so much!! :)
Outside knowledge is going to be missed by a lot of players, haha. I am really glad that this is of help to you, knowing what I am still doing here on the itch.io website is important and means at least something for you devs, really makes me happy.
I love puzzle games, and your game has some where you have to beat the bosses in a certain way. I could figure that out, except the very last one that combin all of the other three powers, plus his powers.
Most importantly, thank you for this lovely game, and huge thanks for the follow... Really means a lot to me, probably as the same feeling you had when you saw my respond on your post XD
Absolutely! Can't wait to watch some of your other videos, just to find cool games! It means the world to a lot of us developers! Best of luck with your goals! :)
Hi ZakariaGhorfati,
I was wondering if you'd like to play my Game Duo. One of the games is a Platformer and the other is a Maze game.
https://danielles-games.itch.io/game-duo
Hi Danielle's games,
Welcome back, it has been a while since I played your last game! I hope you are doing good there!
As usual, here are some feedbacks about your Game Duo:
I honestly liked the first game with the tomato better than the second! I was hoping for some checkpoints along the levels though.
Second game, first thing I noticed is the high sensitivity, although the maze is well done.
I would love to see more of platformer games from you, there are more feedbacks on the video.
Best of luck for your next projects Danielle, pleasure to see you here again :)
Can you please review my game?
Kingdom of Pixels - is 2D MOBA browser game!
Link and full description here: https://saqirmdevx.itch.io/kingdom-of-pixels/
If it will interest you, please let me know your thoughts! Thanks in advice
Hey Saqirmdevx, your game Kingdom of Pixels looks so interesting, I have seen and read the game page of your game, but for the last few days I have been trying my best to start your game! This is why I refuse online games or browers games! The game is giving the vibes of Brawhala, which is great, but it didn't work!
I keep getting the same message:
Hello ZakariaGhorfati, please can you check console if there is something that kicks you out ? Please let me know what browser are you using and if you are in incognito mode. Are you using GMAIL account or GUEST? We will help you to resolve this issue thanks!
I am only replaying so I can be of a help to you guys! used 2 different browsers: MX5 / Mircrosoft Edge
Of course I use the normal mode with my GMAIL account! No incognito!
However, I have been looking and found that your URL link has an invalid ssl certificate.
I would like to add, if this is an online game, I would kindly refuse to playtest online games, because I always face problems with that and it takes a lot of days and energy to find what issues are making the game not run! (Suggestion: it is better to add a downloadable files, browser games tend to have issues a lot).
Best of luck Saqirmdevx!
Hello ZakariGhorfati, there will be downloadable version, however it is not that simple coz we are using REST server to deliver data as it is online game. I have an issues with cert for MacOS for some reason. Seems like MacOS Does not support FreeSSLCert. Game should work even if it says that it is not safe. If you get disconnected then there is another issue, WebSocket refused connection. Try google chrome latest version also try guest mode if works. Feel free to contact me on our discord server to resolve your issue. https://discord.gg/h6mgmcxB
Hi, would you be interested in playing my game Dawn Survivor? It's a short point and click adventure game that I created for game jam in 2 weeks. It has around 10-15 min of gameplay.
Hi there Tariri, it took me some time to upload your gameplay walkthrough review video, even though it was recorded a while back! Because I was a way for holidays! Happy Holidays by the way XD... Here is the link and here are some comments below too:
I would like to say I am a huge fan of zombie games and survival games on general, I was wishing for this game to be longer. I loved the style of the game and this have potential to be a full game with survival and maybe even crafting elements, just saying ;)
Sometimes dowing these videos takes a lot of time from me and I would have stopped if not the support of the devs and this awesome community. You don't have to but I would ask you to join my YouTube channel, because it does help me morally to keep doing this! It really does.
In the video I talked about some stuff, but in case you don't have time to watch it, here are some important notes to be considered:
- The usage of items is the style of drag and use, which works nice, but as a player, I would love to use them by pressing certain buttons!
- The atmosphere is so damn good, I liked the fact you are walking and suddenly see a body being eaten by a zombie
- My favourite scenes was looking from the window inside the house, that was well made!
- That black space for items down gets in the way when trying to move the charracter down! Consider making the trigger that pulls the items up a little bit down further!
- With point and click you can also add holding down the mouse click button for moving around easily and freely!
- I loved the story and I felt it is unfinished, I would love to see what happened to .... (I don't want to spoil it for others, but you know what I mean)
- Sound effects and sound tracks are great! Love the zombie groans.
You might find on the video more than I can write here! I hope at least these notes are of help to you! And best of luck in your submission! I will copy past this there and on your game page too, so people and other devs can see your work.
Hello!
Maybe because it's winter and maybe just because you are waiting for Santa.. or simply, because it's a nice game and you may want to try it:
https://superdoberdev.itch.io/winter-survival-story
Hello there SuperDoberDev, Your game looks so nice! But I must refuse games that I have to purchase them in order to playtest them (Which I am doing for free) + I am not fully sure, but if your game is only for Mobile, I can't play that and give reviews, this is only for PC games! I do not have what it takes to record via phone!
Best of luck with your winter project and happy holidays to you!
Sorry Zakaria, maybe i haven't read the post very carefuly at first.I really appreciate your reply and i wish you good luck further!Maybe you will be qble to help me in the future, with another game.
Happy holidays to you also!
You Want Hunted Werewolf ? It's here
La chasse au loup garou vous tente ? C'est ici que ca ce passe
https://biboufgme-dev.itch.io/hunted
Hey again BiboufGame-Dev, long time since I saw you here! I hope you are doing great! I must say that your zombie games were so fun to play! I even stayed playing them after that first video I made about your game long ago!
For this one, the link is not allowing me to download your game, I would really love to test your games for sure, so it will be really nice if you can use another uploader rather than Mega. Because it does not allow me to download it, I have tried 2 different browseres for it, same result saying update your browser!
Hi I'm fine thank you.
It's nice to know that you have continued to play on the other games.
if i upload in to google drive, do you think you can get it ?
I will give it a try, currently downloading your game! I might take more time to record though, so many requests and very little free time.
I strated recording like usual, had some issues at the start! I did had a huge problem with the lags and this is why I ended up not making a YouTube video about it, but=== I am sending you this anyways if it can help! The video is NOT edited at all.
hello, i'm sorry it works like this with your pc, i am using an rtx 3060, i have tried to optimize by reducing the number of animals and other settings, i hope this will help.
Hi again, so I have been watching the gameplay video that you have put, and for you it runs good, espacially that you have RTX 3060 (Congrats by the way, that is a powerfull GPU)... But you really have to consider omptimizing your game, because you have to remember you are posting your game here on Itch.io, which the marjoity of the player coming here to play are those who have a low end PC and I can't imagine ppl would get a powerful GPU like RTX 3060 and still take a look to this website unless they are making some prjoects or content based on the games here. Take a look to who are your audience first, I really wish I can actually help and at least play your game, it looks so well made and nice to play, honestly.
hello, thank you very much;), I improved a bit by reducing some graphics and other settings, hope that will help. I'm downloading the new version right now, will post the link, and I sincerely apologize if the game is asking a lot of graphics, I'll do my best to fix it.
lien et jeux mis a jour sur google drive et mega :
Hunted (google drive)
Hunted (Mega)
Yes, I will give it another try for sure! It will take time to record a video for it though.
I found my problem, it was my minimap on the display that caused the bug , tomorrow I post the version, thanks for the wait ;)
Oh! I already recorded a video using low graphical settings! It would be better to wait for the new version. I will delete the I recorded last night then!
i upload new version right now, i will send you the link, thank you so mush
and add success and personal statistics by character.
hello, I made a video for you to see : Hunted Gameplay
I don't understand why you lag so much
I don't have a big configuration : amd fx 6300, 24g ddr3 1866mhz and rtx 3060 12g ddr6
Hello, I'm new to Itch and to this thread, but here is my first offering: Dormant Utility Service Technician (demo)
It's just a little atmospheric 2d platformer, mostly chill (no combat) I call it a "casualvania"
The demo is about getting hired to become a service technician in deep space, but the main game (WIP) is about what happens after you go in cryo for some years, waking up and doing the objectives, which are things like repairing automated equipment on remote parts of the galaxy.
The demo is free to play in browser, and can be completed in full in about 15 minutes
https://mikeb10.itch.io/dormantutility
Hello mikeb10, I have tried your game for a little bit, it looks so nice and well done for your first time here on Itch.io
You might not know this, but I am unable to make video for HTML or Browser games! Had multiple issues in the past with that so I had to stop it and limit that for downloadable PC games!
I must say I had a horrible time to get over the first area XD didn't know I can just grab the wall and walk up hahaha.
In case you made a game for PC where I can download it, or for this game. I am here, be free to contact me!
awesome! thanks so much for giving it a try. I will make a downloadable version for mac and pc soon and reach back out when i have it. cheers!
Hello again, after holiday break I made it a priority to make free downloadable windows and mac builds for the Dormant Utility Service Technician demo/trailer, in addition to updating the web version. I fixed the terrain in just a couple places to make it a little more fair when using keyboard instead of controller. If you need it, there's a controls guide on the page. Hope you get a chance to check it out and thanks for this thread. :)
I know this took me a very long time to make a video about it, but it honestly came in a very busy time + holiday break + had some health issues! So, I tried your game, and your game is actually fun to play, however, it is a little bit hard and challenging. I have seen you made some updates recently just before I upload this one! That is a nice game you have! Keep it up.
The point is. 1 player controls the sleigh and drops gifts down all the highlighted houses. But if they are smoking he cant and player 2 has to get them turned off by going close to them and clinking left mouse button
We are unable to playtest online games! In case you missed that in the first page, it is part of the rules! Because online games has so many issues for indie games here on Itch.io and we have had our share of problems coming from the online indie games here!
I really wish I can playtest EVERY single game here! Honestly... I wish you all the best with your game Rwanda games.
visit https://afri-games.itch.io/dyce-board-game-2 there is also a downloadable game (.Apk and .exe) on the page
Hey there, for sure I will be willing to try out your first game. I had a lot of fun running and screaming at Marina, there are few things that I mentioned on the video for you, but there is one more important bug that I found (It is more like a hack) It happened in the room she left for me upstairs and in that way I managed to take her keys XD... I really wish that this gameplay walkthrough to help you out. Really loved your game honestly! I wish there were more guide for the game inside instead of the game page, I had to go back there to read about the bag hints, but it didn't cause any problem... really so lovely fun game. I sense there is more in the story, I heard someone says "come here" CREEPY XD
I would also ask you to join my YouTube channel, becuase this is what keeps me going and making more videos like this! It is your support.
Hey, thanks for the video. :D Watching you and any potential bugs you encountered was helpful. The small lag spots you had did bother me so I will have to look into that for next time. As for bugging Marina, a few people have managed to glitch her here and there although the location you did it in was new to me. lol
As for the guide part, I actually did want to but I've had some build issues for a while so I was unable to directly fix and add more info in game. Adding tips to the game page was best I could do in the meantime. :/
And yes. While it's not super story driven, there is a lot of stuff here and there giving you an idea of what's happened in this house. Most are hidden in books, others in secrets find through out the house (you missed a rather spooky one when reading the girl's diary). Admittedly, it's not easy to find/notice them if Marina is busy chasing you. lol The voice in particular is related to two endings as well. If you ever decide to play again, look around that room more. Specifically the banner. ;3
Also, I'm already subscribed even before you made the video. ;3
Glad this was helpful. For sure your Marina is annoying to me, I told her I just want to rob your house hahah... This is for sure adds up to the fun of the game, and for the guide part, looking back to those notes in the game and reading again what is being explained, I think it is actually good as it is right now, as this allows for some explorations left for the players to do.
In the meantime, there are a lot of requests on hold for the games to be played, but for sure I will take another look to the game, at least in my spare time to have fun with it out of recording XD Lovely game honestly.
And that's so damn wholesome that you already subscribed to the channel before I made your video! really glad for it and for trying out your game. Hope to see more projects from you soon.
Hello! Thank you for offering this opportunity to us on here! If you're interested, I have a game about creating cults you could try called "Red Ascension". Its mostly a clicker type game where you try to meet your end goal of ascending your cult (if you're worried about excessive violence or anything, there isn't too much graphically in that manner). Link: https://ldgamingexpress.itch.io/red-ascension
Hi LDGamingExpress, thank you for the kind words. Your game Red Ascension covers some very interesting yet very sensitive topics, which as you already know, will be very upsetting for a lot of people if I ever made a video about it now on YouTube. The world today is a mess and having a game about creating cults on my channel will be so bad. Becuase all of these points, we have to refuse making a gameplay walkthrough about your game.
I did however play your game for a little bit to see what can I give you as feedbacks, but since your game is a clicker type game I truly dont have much to say to let you know as I usually do in order to double on or what to improve.
Hello there TronusGames, of course I am going to take a look to your games, for the first one, I have to refuse it because it is a mobile game and I do not have what it takes to play test and record for phone games right now. For your game Prjoect Aethia, a very good looking game, love the parkour style and movement of the character Sara.
Here I made a gameplay walkthrough video, where I showed some bugs, most of them are not that bad, howver, there is one fatal one at the very end of the video, I am not sure if you can regenarate that event. I did played your game off the recording and when I went up to where the water starts to appear the game started lagging a lot on the low settings, but I read you already updated the game from this point on your game page.
Fantastic feelings that your game gives to player, for sure this game has huge future if you played your cards right.
I would also say, take a look back to the puzzles, the first one that I have reached was so confusing even though I solved it many times, still do not know how I did that.
I gave some other ideas here and there on the video, but overall, THIS GAME IS AMAZING. Keep it up.
I hope the video is of help to you, and if you need another game test feel free to reach out, I can also do this without making a video about it, whatever that suits you TronusGames. I do ask you guys to join to the channel because this is the only support that actually makes keep going with what I am doing, seeing developers join in to my YouTube gives me this big boost to stay active.
Here is the video:
Hello Zakaria and thanks for the video you made ^^
I'm really sorry about the final part ahah... really unexpected.
Anyway i would like to underline that i am not the creator of this game demo, but i just helped to program it. I just took the consent
of the other participants of the project to publish the prototype for free for everyone, giving credits to every single member that built it.
So i think is better to change the title of the video removing that "by TronusGames", i would not like to take merits that i do not have.
Well after this, i've seen other things happening during the video that can be really interesting to debug of course. Like the infinite rotating of the Altars at the first Puzzle haaha...
As you said, another version of the game has been published. So now the game support a "lowered" Medium Graphic Setting and few other things.
I really appreciate you enthusiasm and i thank you for all your kind words.
Atm i'm working on a new project, probably i will send to you the demo so, if you would, you could make a gameplay about it and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks for your time spent, Tronus...
Hey again, I am really glad that this can be of a help to you. And for the credits part, that should not be an issue, as I made sure to show the credits inside the game on the video, I always make sure to show credits inside any game. Also, I have to credit someone when making the gameplay walkthrough, as you might not know this, but there is a chance for this game to enter TOP BEST GAMES on Itch.io that I do with each month, because of that, I must put credits for the list of Top Best Games. In case you really still want to take down TronusGames, at least give me another alternative name to put on hahaha, so if you guys have a team name I can use, that would be great. ALSO, thank you so much for your honesty sir, really, this is the first time someone being so honest about the credits this way.
Again, that should not be an issue since I already showed the credits on the video that are already inside the game.
That rotating puzzle of the Altras really confused me hahaha... about your new project, yeah, send me whenever you are able to, and just so you know, I can play test your game before you reach the point of releasing it, meaning I am able to work with you testing the game until it is ready (without making a video in case it is still in early developments and u don't want ppl to see that XD, of course this offer is for free, in case you are confused about it or anything) and then when all ready to go, I can make a video about it.
Good luck with your next project, and thank you for your honesty again about the credits.
Hello Zakaria, thanks for your message. Yes probably everything would be ok like you did, but it's only me that do not like taking credits of things by various reasons.
Anyway, of course i would send you this new project after i submit it to a jam that will end soon.
Thanks for your interest and have a good day ^^
Hey KUSIY, I tried your game but did not understand how to play it, nor what to do, it looks like there was 3 Zombies but they do not die, their health grows back up... and I can not really understand what to do inside the game, nor I speak other languages, We have to refuse this for now.
Good Luck with your games sir.
Hi, I'm Ofihombre. Can you try the game Damiux Ferrer Dream in his Bilingual Pack Version?
https://ofihombre.itch.io/damiux-ferrer-dream
Hi Ofihombre, I am glad you have your game Damiux Ferrer Dream in Bilingual Pack version. I am going to post this as well on your game page, it will be the same feedback here
Here is a gameplay walkthrough video for your game, and I would really be glad to see you join to my YouTube channel, we do have a lot of interesting things coming up soon that might interest developers as well as gamers.
Let us start;
♦ First of all, what catched me the most is the music and the sound tracks used in the game, that is uniqe qnd so dramatic, makes you want to play the game even more just by the sound (I am also trying to study sound design on my own, I can actually see how much this suits the game and lift the spirit of players, really well done!)
♦ As a first issue, starting from the very beginning, the game is not that responsive at all, the character get stuck sometimes and I have to press the arrow keys mutiple times to make him move, that actually annoyed me a lot and made me lose a lot of hearts. I have watched Vlad video as well, he has the same issue too.
♦ The game offers a lot of enemies and weapon types which is extremely good, but it is a shame that it is not responsive quickly, this can actually make players stop the game when they can not move the character that easy.
♦ The adventure mode is really nice, and as a suggestion, I would say your game starts with 2 or 3 large open areas where it takes time to find out the whormhole so you can progress inside the game, I would suggest to start the game in those narrow guided places that later the game introduce. The first few minutes if players can not understand what to do because they can not find the wrap point that easy, they might stop the game and never be able to explore what has the game to offer.
I really wish this helps out. Good luck and good day.
The Blue Forrest OST is so good, I enjoyed that a lot, espacially the remix one.
Hi Zakaria, thanks to play Damiux Ferrer Dream. I have read your tips and problems reported in the game. Part of this is because it was created on an outdated Game Maker engine in its lite version (that's why it bears the watermark).
A remake in a modern engine could solve all these problems.
Hi Rashaad.tk Games, Your game ra-shoot looks nice, I have seen some comments about your game in your game page as well, well positive overview for this game. However, I tried this many times but your game launcher file just disappear whenever I run it, there would be a loading screan, as if your game is going to start, then again it does shutdown and simply disappear. Here I have to stop trying to run the game so it does not ruin anything on the PC. I was really hoping to play it, it looks nice to play it.
Hello! I'm making simple game called "Gravity Force". Your task: avoid enemies and spikes to finish the level!
Now the game has 6 levels, but they are difficult...
Unfortunately, this is only a beta version, so there is not much content there.
https://coolcat7.itch.io/gravity-force
Thank you!!
Hey there CoolCat7, recently had a lot of requests plus being sick had me take longer than usual to check your game! I had made a simple gameplay overview about your game! I would finish it all, but it is very difficult as you said already xD
Here is the video, and I posted on your game page just in case someone wanted to take a look to the gameplay:
Hey there TotsPoli, you were not kidding when you said that it won't be boring! Finest Fable is actually a very fun game to play with a lot of comedy content. I had reached to a place where I could not figure out what I am supposed to do next! Although, I admmit, I normally do not have this fun in turn based RPG games, but this one was different, well done!
I'm glad you were enjoying yourself! It really makes us happy!
We watched your video and we don't know if you solved it already, but you just need to buy a caving kit from the store and then head down the well!
Aaah yeah, the store. Why I didn't think about it! Thanks for the tip. Glad to try out your game.
Hey friend! I hope you have been well! Loving the videos you have been posting! Glad you have been keeping up the great work! I got a new one for you if your up for it! :P Its a 2D rogue-like action RPG we just released for the 2022 global game jam! We are looking for feedback and people to play and check it out!

Experience all 16 jobs, from Thief to Janitor, in RYD OR DIE. The game includes:
As always, keep up the great work!! :D
Welcome back Gizmo199, surely this has the same vibes of your game Forgodden. Had a lot of fun and the music and sountracks were great. It was challenging at some parts, I would say that the artifacts of the messages could need a little bit of variety and diversity. Overall, the game is really good for a rogue-like action game. Well done.
Thanks so much! Its always a blast to see you play games! I can't wait to watch!!! :D
Hi, I'm back. Can you also try to play my another game Randy & Manilla in the Early Beta version?
https://ofihombre.itch.io/randy-manilla
Hi and welcome back. I think you already saw the published video about your game by now. Just wanted to follow it up here and let you know about certain things that you might need to work on. Here is the video attatched as well:
The ship controls a little bit hard and confusing! I have yet to master it.
The usage of colors with the cubes is too much for me personally, you might want to reduce that just a little bit or only keep the ones that contains wolrds or will contain in the future so you do not confuse players where to go (Even though there is a map, it is extremely hard to navigate the ship with or without the map's help).
You made a great job with the all mini in-game games, that was extremely fun to play through.
A game idea: You might want to use the collected scores from each level to upgrade the ship maybe, as for now collecting those yellow lights and having the biggest score would be useless (You can already notice how long my video was about your game, most of the time I was exploring xD).
Keep it up Ofihombre. This game if updated and being shaped nicely might attract more attentions. I believe the video gave you already much feedbacks hahaha I know it is long, but this is mainly for the contents of your game, I wanted to showcase your game as much as possible.
Hope this helps, I will post on your game page as well to shed some lights on your game. Keep it up.
About Net-Cube colors & ship controls It is something that more than one has asked me before, and I will be looking into it to review it.
Regarding the score, actually it has a couple of purposes:
Rank level how much higher is the score:
Or extra skills or items by getting the maximum score of each level:
Hi Zakaria, I'm back with another update of the game Randy & Manilla.
Now it's in the 2nd Beta: https://ofihombre.itch.io/randy-manilla/devlog/446915/available-the-2nd-beta-of-...
Hey there MysteriousDeveloper, thank you for the subscribe on YouTube.
You might not know this, but I can not actually playtest on browser. I checked your other games and found Fun 1 interesting enough to make a small video about it.
I would recommend finding away to increase the ammo or upgrade to new weapons. It is extremely hard after few levels as you are going to be without ammo. The texture of the floor and walls made me dizzy after a while, that is why I could not go further.
However, I made a good video about Fun 1. Hope this helps xD
Hey Vahin Sharma, sure I can play your game Cyber Ball, I just uploaded the video and I will post it on your game page too. I hope this video can bring you some attention to your Cyber Ball game! All the best, keep it up.
Side note: I did felt dizzy when the speed started to catch up! Maybe you can try to add levels that reset the speed after clearing each level.
Hey Yai7, thank you for the way you have explained how this can be reduced throughout playing on easy or normal, BUT your game "Another Bubble Girl 2" is still adult themed, I can not put that up on the channel because my followeres which they contain some of my family members and friends, they can play your game in case they wanted to or felt your game is good, but I can not force them to play it on Easy, thus I will be so embarassed if they decided to try your game.
I hope I have explained myself correctly here, adult themed games or content is out of my mind and I really can not review it out of the fear someone will be curious to play it on Hard.
Hi there mutant_llama1, your game Mini Wars is not working. I am not sure what is going on, I downloaded and exe. file that literally did not do anything. You sure you have your game uploaded? And could you please do not use exe. files, these are dangerous to run, I would appreciate it if you upload your game like the others here. Please do take a look at their downloadable files to understand more since this is your first game made in Unreal.
I've fixed the executable issue, I think, but do not know how to not use an executable. Others from the thread seem to be using executables too.
Thanks for the fix! I had this pop us at the very first attempt... then after downloading the game and running it, the game won't launch or open, even though when using Task Manager I could see the game running on the background but no trace of it on Desktop nor anything happening! I tried it with 2 different PC and same thing happening! I recommend you to ask a friend of yours to download your game using the same link provided here on itch and try running the game and see if it is any different! Good Luck!
Very cool! Great work! I think my game fits in here.

Hey Danielle, welcome back!
I have downloaded your game and started recording and everything, got to the password part and got stuck there... the important thing is that the file get corrupted and only recorded the first 5 seconds, I tried it again but it seems my recording software crashes with your game... I have no idea to why this is happening, but I have seen this happen with some other few games! Too bad it didn't work!
Hi Zack,
I'm sorry to hear the recording software crashes with my game. I'm not sure why that's happening either, but thank you anyway for trying to record a video.
Hi katakuriko, I am glad you find my activities on YouTube good!
Oh man! I hate to turn down any game, but I had my issues with HTML or brower games, sometimes the recording fails, get corrupt, fail to capture either the sound of the game or the gameplay itself..etc!
I would for sure play your game and give you reviews, but I believe you are interested in seeing a gameplay video for your game! Maybe if you can make a downloadable version that can help.
Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry that the game doesn't work properly.I wasted your precious time ...
I made it with GDevelop, but I couldn't create a file for download. I'm very sorry I couldn't see the video you're playing. I was really looking forward to what kind of play it would be. If possible, I would be grateful if you could GAME CLEAR and register for SCORE.
No need to be sorry for anything man! That is related to entirely to me having issues with this type of files (HTML) this has happened to me before, you can the older posts here, you might find some having exactly what you have!
For sure I will palytest the game and give you some feedback, I will try it as soon as possible! If anything I will comment on your game page.
Hi Zack!
Hello everyone!
I want to introduce you to my game
The game will appeal to fans of "Plants vs zombies" and fans of card roguelikes (it was inspired by them).
Please check out the game and give feedback
Thank you all in advance!
Link to the game:
- https://six-strings.itch.io/comix-cat
Hey there Six Strings, it took me some time to reach your game as I go by order on a list of requested games, most of them are via emails and Discord. Here on the video will find a lot of feedback, I would also add that you might want to add different backgrounds like areas for each levels or runs, that would be more appealing as I noticed while editing that things get more repeated even with the new cretureas.
I have recorded the entire game, but will post this part for now so I do not turn off the followers on my YouTube channel, I reckon this is better for you since there will be more engagement for the video; thus, more attention to your game. And yes, I am a fan of PvsZ
Hey friend! Always a pleasure! Got another banger for ya! hahaha. We made an intense bullet-hell / roguelike hybrid of sorts. I cannot thank you enough for all of the hard work you put in for the community! You are a king!!!
This game was made over a period of 2 weeks for the #NoticeMe game jam.
Jeremy Lowther - Website
Hey my friend and welcome back, I had the link for the game linked to your game page but I think this has been changed! Overall, the game is so damn good, I have been having a crazy amazing fun time with the game. You really had another banger for me man hahaha.
Always coming in clutch!!! You are the best! I hope it didn't run too slowly for you! Thank you so much for playing! Can't wait to give it a watch!
You're kidding me haha? Running too slowly for me XD! It was so fast, both the action pace and the game, just few lags when things got too much on the screen which is expected to happen in any given game! Really had fun, thank you for showing me this game!
Hi PoteComPaoGames, the name of your game is crazy, the game itself is crazy hahaha, I truly loved the content you have put inside your game, would love to see more of your work like this, so feel free to come by any time again.
I will see how this first video does and then upload more on my channel if people like the Gameplay vid! Subscirbe to my YouTube channel because it does spread the words of me accepting game requests more, hence more people like you finding my content.
Thank you for playing it! I subscribed to your channel! I'm happy to see you liked my game!
You are welcome, and thank you too! Thanks a lot, I appreciate it. I loved your game so much! Amazing job!
Hi Digi-Device File, your game Digimon: Law of The Jungle is a fanmade multiplayer which something that I am not accepting to make content for on my YouTube channel (See first page here to see the rules).
On general, I do not play online games or multiplayer! There are many reasons for that, some are related finding the right person to play with and being able to record with comfort!
Thank you Zack !
Lead your armies through mortal lands, raze villages and claim souls.
Die and rise again from your ashes and enhance your summoning spells through a deep progression system.
In this arcade game with rogue-lite elements, you have to summon your army through the “portal towers”. Many different minions from another plane can be conjured at your disposal. Hire the strongest armies and show the villagers no mercy! Reap the souls of mortals to increase your power. After the fight, unlock perks for you and your army.
Gather your strength anew and return from “oblivion” once again, for the doom you bring can only be set back, but it could never be vanquished!
Hey HOpe86, thank you for putting your game here, I had a great time playing the game and going after those endless enemies! It is super challenging and has great potentials! I have wishlisted your game on my Steam too! Hope this video helps out! Join in to my YouTube channel if you would like to see more content like this XD
Hello there GrazianoBrothers, I know this comes later over a month but that is due to many busy days I passed by with difficult nights with some personal stuff here and there! I hope this feedback and review can be of a help for your game:
Some of these are more like suggestions, not everything mentioned below is that of importance for the game:
♦ Game Idea: The idea of the game to have this be played locally can be a good one, but still hard to find a close relative or a friend to have over for such a game, due to being it short and hard! It is also noted that the concept of the game and the camera setting overview is hard to playthrough and can confuse a lot of players, will try to explain it more from the other points below (The gameplay video has most of the feedback).
♦ Gameplay: For the most part I have been confused where to go as some places are hidden due to the camera position; such as the first room where the door to the left is not seen at all, it took me a very long time to figure that out (Been running some game test sessions before recording just to see how the first mintue or so is like and if it runs good). There is also the fact that the shield does no job at blocking enemies' attacks! I must also mention the gameplay missing feature of running is required in such games for a better experience.
♦ Story: Would be a nice idea to add a story to the game to balance between the gameplay and story side.
♦ Artwork: It is a nice minecraft-ish art style. Not my style to be honest so I can only have few feedback regarding this point.
♦ Audio: There is no obvious issue regarding the audio design for the game.
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: Some boss fights needs a little bit of change! The first boss fights, I believe it is better to have the extra enemies vanish after you kill the boss! And for the second one, the combat feels a lot robotic in the sense that the dragon has a rythmic shooting style that is not directed to the player while mid-air! It is also worth mentioning that what makes the game hard like this is the lack of ways to replenish your health after a long run!
♦ Things to Double Down on: In case you want to focus on making the game a co-op local experience, it might be good to add customizations for the characters and add different weapons and gadets for those who wants to play the game some more.
Thanks ZakariaGhorfati for accepting our request about reviewing our game, we really appreciate your critics and commentary during your gameplay.
We enjoyed a lot as developers seeing our game played from another perspective and we really had fun watching your video, we hope the best for you and your youtube channel.
This was actually our first game and we still have a lot to learn,
We made the mistake of just focusing on building an hard and entertaining game, without minding in depth the overall player game feeling, we are looking forward to make a new game this summer and we will make treasure of your critics on Dungeon Crusaders for the developing of our new project.
Thanks for such a wholesome way of replying! I will surely be glad to take a look at your next game project! Hope to see you guys grow up, for a first game, you guys did great. Keep it up.
Hi Danielle,
I have tried to record a Gameplay Walkthrough for your game but realized it was not that interesting to post it, I can try to upload it and make it private for you if you would like to take notes from it! The game has a nice story but there is the Audio missing and that actually makes the recorded video weird as I constatly had to speak to fill the awkward silence, besides when I don't speak you can hear the clicks of the mouse and keyboard! It is really hard to make a good video for YouTube for the RPG you are having!
Hi Zack,
I'm sorry about the audio situation. I had added music, and had thought it was loud enough, but after checking things I realized it wasn't. The music situation has been fixed now, though.
Hi there, great fun game you have there Huhigames, I enjoyed some of the features of the game, as well as to the bugs that I have encountered. This Gameplay video shows most of the feedback being written here, enjoy:
♦ Game Idea: I like the idea of the game that you have, a 2D platformer with a lot of unexpected events and enemies! I really enjoyed my time with your game.
♦ Gameplay: The Gameplay is good but there is room for improvements, for example: when jumping over the swinging platforms, you can notice your character does not fit quite well to the platform, I believe because there is an overlying with the hitbox of both units! You might be better to take notes from the Gameplay Walkthrough than me explaining here.
♦ Story: For the story, I see that you tried to focus on collecting parts to run the airplane and escape the place, I was wondering if it is possible to be able to actually collect parts for the plane and bring them back one by one (This would be nice for quests and main missions)
♦ Artwork: Some areas are not exactly the same when talking about the design of the HUD, you truly can notice a difference there and it looks like a screenshot was taken, went under crop and pasted on the next area! Overal, the game has that pixel art style which is always nice to see!
♦ Audio: There is that annoying audio sound which is similar to a cockroach singing! The video is better to highlight parts of the audio for the game!
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: Some bugs are really funny, others can be super powerful like the respawn of ammo in the first area to the right (There is 2 boxes) Also, it is better to have an explanation for RUBBISHES!
♦ Things to Double Down: The gameplay for the game is fun, and the story adds to it, but I would suggest to focus even more on the story and bring more jumpscares moments! You had a couple of them that really works so good! Best of luck sir! Join to the channel if you would like more content like this, there are other plans and projects for the channel too.
Thank you for playing this weird sound will be only in hangar scene.I will add musics.You will collect parts there is parts now you get 1 every time you defeat bosses.
Oh great! Thanks for letting us know of these points, keep it up with the game and best of luck
Hi again Zakaria. Can you try my NES homebrew called "Randy in Sokobanland"?
https://ofihombre.itch.io/randy-in-sokobanland
Hi Zaharia. But you can play online in this link: https://puzzle.nes.science/play/1309d53e-e537-46d3-9881-f47174a43aa1/Randy-in-So...
Hi there Zakaria,
I would love it if you were able to check out my first person atmospheric exploration game. Trying to spread the word and get any and all feedback that I can!
Thank you so much,
Andy
Hi there andymetoo, your game Hyperliminal is a great horror game with unexpected events! I have been so busy lately but managed to bring up this Gameplay Walkthrough video with some written feedback, keep in mind most feedback is on the video, these are only written extras. I also invite you to join in to the channel because that really helps me out to keep doing what I am doing and motivates me seeing developers with me as much as what I am doing here motivates you and others probably! I hope so XD
♦ Game Idea: It is a very good idea and concept, for a moment, it felt like you are aiming to bring refrences from famous TV-Shows & Movies, which would have been great to see that! Overall, I love the idea of random places and unexpected events and jumpscares.
♦ Gameplay: Not that many issues with the gameplay, found it easy and nice to control and move around. I must say that I was surprised of how far I can jump and that there was no damage fall (Maybe that would have ruined the game as it does not focus on combat, meaning no health bar or anything like that, so good call right there)
♦ Story: Such a lovely story and good content around it, having that mystery on the story is always wanted.
♦ Artwork: I see that there is a lot of details in the game, although the one under the water was a bit hard on the eyes to notice objects and paths! I do love that room where the door close behind you and you hear them screaming and knocking on the door, that is a great design!
♦ Audio: There is parts where the game runs with almost perfect audio design, such as the unexpected whispering. And there are times where you feel the audio is not balanced, when the jumpscares happen the audio gets so loud, sometimes it really hurts my ears! I understand that is important, but there is a room for improvement there (Example out of jumpscares is the starting point intro, the game audio there sounded very loud comparing with the rest)
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: Most of this is shown and focused on the video proivded, some other feedback related to this point is a suggestion to try to shorten the story converstaion at the very start, it felt a little bit longer (the first 5 to 6 minutes of the video) This could be done better by giving parts and chunks later on after playing and having some gameplay experience. Also , another point is that the exploration at the very start can be missleading, I thought the entire game would be like this (more open where you have to collect and find those memories) Which to be honest, those white memories are just waste of time for my opinion (A content creator opinion to be clear) The reason behind this is that YouTubers will have less time to try to explore and get collectibles even if they are rewarding, because that will take a very long time to record and it is less interesting to showcase the exploration part. (I felt that I would have done better for a fun video if I ignored the collectibles and focused on the main critical path)
♦ Things to Double Down on: That kind of whispering is fantastic and works amazing, better than having loud noises or sound effects! Also, well done with the random things happening!
This is excellent! Thank you so much for your review and for your thoughtful feedback. I'm actually quite relieved you came out and mentioned two of the things that I thought were the biggest fault (well, one of them I thought was bad, and the other one I wasn't sure of):
-The introduction being way too long. I agree with this as well. I don't mind having lengthy dialogue, but being slammed with so much of it right off the bat was something I was afraid was going to scare people away. Others have said that they didn't mind it, and I've even gotten comments about, "Well, at least people can skip through it...", but I do like the people at least knowing the premise of the story if they skip through it. I like the idea of having the player periodically return, through memory or whatever, to the therapist's room and having the story play out in bits and chunks like that.
-The other was the sound. What with having kids and doing a lot of work on this during my lunch break in the lounge at work, I didn't have too many opportunities to play it through numerous times on full blast, but I was definitely concerned that some of the sound effects would be too loud. I didn't put too much thought into it, however, because nobody really mentioned it in the feedback I received, but now that you have, I will have to look it over more closely.
Also, one more, is that the underwater area was way too foggy and difficult to navigate. I've heard this feedback quite a few times, and I think I just got used to it because I knew exactly where I was going. I definitely wanted to make the player feel a little lost and like they have to find their way around in the dark, but I'll have to do something about that.
Once again I thank you for taking the time out of your day to make this review and video of it!
All the best,
Andy
Thank you Andy for the lovely game and reply here! & Yes, I do understand when having a job or work to do and trying to "force" your passion towards any kind of free time you can spare! I myself are doing the same thing, so no worries about having bugs or sounds being louder in parts of the game, that's how things work! I genuinely wish you all the best with your game and future projects in life!
May we meet again, Zakaria.
hi Zakaria.
I made my first horror game, and I would like to see someone playing it on a video. It would feel awesome to me, and I will share the video with my friends.
https://vladyslu.itch.io/fist-stories-luckys-night
Hi there Vlad, I know this took me long to get to your game but I honestly had a lot going on and still can't find enough free time.
First of all, congratulations at your first horror game! I must say that there has been some stuff that almost prevent me from finishing your game, some weird stuff really haha!
Here is my simple review with some suggestions, hoping to see you around on our YouTube channel, we do more of these videos and reviews for all sorts of games out there! We mainly focus on Indie Games for now in order to support them with what we can:
♦ Game Idea: I love horror games because I can have fun while screaming XD, no, really... Horror games are great when made in a good way, your game however follows that style of retro-ish with VHS vibes which is not my cup of tea! But very wanted style, so your game should have a lot of coverage.
♦ Gameplay: It is a bit hard to see as things are darker than they should be, although the gameplay is good and only had one thing that prevented me from progressing in the game. I had no painting to have the code for the first key, had to check other streams of the YouTubers on your game page comments! You will see this in the gameplay video provided.
♦ Story: Very interesting story, there is a mystery behind the little girl and the ending is even better, hoping to see more episodes for this game in the future to finish the story and understand it more.
♦ Artwork: Like I mentioned in the Game Idea section, this style of art is not for me, but I can appreciate a good artwork when I see one. Well done!
♦ Audio: The audio design for the game is great, that thunder with lightning was a great jumpscare! Love the voicing of the little girl and her singing, honestly, the game felt for me that it started from the point we see the little girl standing there.
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: Most of the criticism will be towards the over-usage of darkness in the game, there are cameras in the game but no use of them, which I will recommend changing the position of the girl after a certain progression in the game, this will make things more intense! (You will understand where when watching the video here).
♦ Things to Double Down on: Surely the story is something you should focus on, I mean: realizing that our main character is a robot is such a huge turn of events for the game! Best of Luck Vlad!
Hello! If you'd be interested in a visual novel/otome game here is the link: https://ladybex.itch.io/a-tale-of-other-worlds-and-demons
A Tale of Other Worlds and Demons is a free fantasy, otome visual novel with some Sci-Fi elements. If you feel like the game is too long I am okay with feedback on just a part of it. And thank you very much in advance :)
Hello there LadyBex, it took me more than a month to get back to you due to life obligations (from work to other stuff)! And because what I am doing is more of a passion now, I can barely find time for it! Anyways, I have played your game over a week now (did not finish the entire story though) and I can say it is really interesting visual novel! Well done espacially if this is your first one... Below you will find a part of the Gameplay recorded (didn't want to have the video long for the followers sake) and some additional feedback:
♦ Game Idea: Very unique idea for a Visual Novel, being a writer myself I can see the creative writing within you in this game! It is rather the idea or the concept for the story for Visual Novels to be great, with other elements of course to make it more interesting.
♦ Gameplay: Visual Novels don't depend much on the gameplay as much as it depends on the story itself, but this does not mean you can't have some gameplay parts, such as having more options to choose from to have an impact on some characters and the critical path of the game (Which I think you already did so, I just did not go too far in the game, will try to finish it in my spare time though). It is also better to have the game set in chapters, this will ensure the players to know what parts of the game they have finished or reached, it is also something that content creators look for; in order to ease things up for episodes and parts to upload!
♦ Story: One of the unique stories about Visual Novels that I have played recently, it has been a while since I saw a good story like this, the mystery behind the entire Sci-Fi part, the worlds mixing together, and the characters themselves! I honestly love the setting of old times, like the Dark Ages and Victorian Era (I studied American & British Literature and Civilization, majoring in both with a Master Degree, so it is something that I really love and admire, I also can help a little bit regarding that).
♦ Artwork: There are certain art styles for each Visual Novel, I understand this is the style for your game but would have been better to showcase the items and backgrounds in a better way (There is an example with a screen attatched showing how much it is hard to see things around the room, espacially with that usage of colors! It looks like there are 2 wolrds mixed together on that photo, could be wrong though, but surely would have been amazing to notice that easily when playing the game).
♦ Audio: Very nice background music and sound tracks. As a suggestion, you could use more sound effects for certain events, like knocking on the door, jumping from the window, having some footsteps in certain places...etc! It is also great to see some voice acting or voice overs, this could be done as I know some starters in this field that would be happy to do this for free for the sake of having their names on a game!
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: I do not think I found any bug, for the game progress is great and good! Loved the humour parts of this game, can surely say that the Audio part need some work for some sound effects, other than this would say the story of the game does a great job keeping the interest of players.
♦ Things to Double Down on: I have read from other ppl comments on your game page how much they loved your story, keep going and writing, you have a great vision!
In case you need any help or just me testing the game further more (probably way much faster when asked without making a video about XD) just let me know, you can contact me on my Instagram or Discord, these two are what I use more often!
HI :) Thank you for the feedback :D I am very happy your overall experience with the game was fun :D Your suggestion with the sound effects is very helpful, truth be told I didn't think of it , but it would be a great addition. As for the voice actors, since it is a free game and I couldn't pay anyone, I didn't think anybody would volunteer so I haven't been looking so it is a good tip to know there are people willing to do it.
Very glad that this was of help to you! Wish you all the best you and your friend with making more game and projects in the future!
Best of luck and thank you!
Hello this is my game called Space Runners.
It's a ship racing game.
I hope you like it!
Thanks for the opportunity!
Hello back to you CampiaoGames, it has been a while since I had free time to check on the games here but finally managed to find enough time to test your game and here are some feedback and my review:
♦ Game Idea: The idea of the game is nice and to be honest I would love to keep playing the game for the sake of having fun, but there are few things that shoud be adressed for a better experience.
♦ Gameplay: The game runs good but the steering and handeling for the majority of ships is very hard and strange to adjust to it! Altough, the game mechanics are good and I see you have put a penality for hitting the walls by slowing down the ship, very nice!
♦ Story: Such racing games do not have a story for the most part, but it surely does not hurt to give few of this element in your game or your future projects like this one; you can always have campaigns set that tells the story of each ship, meaning different campaigns for different ships or tracks (planets in Space Runners case) That would be fun to play rather than racing and repeating the same ones, having quests or objectives to go through is what keeps players enjoying, thus keep playing your game.
♦ Artwork: I love that you had each ship different colors or paints, you have good amount of tracks too, the art-style or design isn't the best but it surely has its own style for an indie game!
♦ Audio: Here we find the most issues, for the video you will notice how louad the crowd is and how annoying the sound of the ships when speeding! Would recommend giving the sound design some more time to have a deeper look into, you can easily have that done if you have enough ppl recording a gameplay about your game where you can see if it is enjoyable to listen to your game audio or not, there are sounds in the game that works well, like the sound effects, but not all sounds are of good use in Space Runners!
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism: Keep on the good work on adding new and different space ships and tracks, but don't forget to add more quests or campaigns, it can be useful to give the players a chance to win something when being on top 3 places when finishing a race, like unlocking more better ships and new areas!
♦ Things to Double Down on: Keep on making games, I hope what I have wrote here is of help and support to you! My goal is to help as many devs here and motivate them! Space racing is something fun to play and experience, this is how I feel about it personally at least.
Hello Zakaria!
First of all I would like to thank you for that help!
I read your suggestions and really liked your tips.
I will work hard to improve the experience of the game and especially the sounds of the ships and the fans.
About the part of creating a story for the ships, this is already in progress, but I believe qur I'll take a little hahaha
I'll soon update Space Runners!
Thank you so much for the opportunity!^^
Hi Laiet, I have tried your game but must say it is so hard, been playing your game for hours yesterday and I could barely progress in the game, here some feedback for what stopped me from going deeper into the game:
♦ Game Idea: The idea of a game similar to Hotline Miami has such a good amount of audience, the old style of these games will always have a commuinty and it is nice to try them from time to time.
♦ Gameplay: Here I found the most troubles, the game is hard from the point of view of combat, you barely do enough damage to enemies before they kill you, and if you came against two of them you are basically dead. The hitbox is large for the enemies, many times I found myself dying easily to their attacks! It is also noted that the special abilities do not do that big damage. You could also try to give a quick tips or tutorial for making a more understanding of the game (Though this can easily be figured out through playing the game for few minutes). You could also try to add mouse sensitivity option.
♦ Story: The game starts directly with no story. Now I am not sure if there will be story elements later on as you keep playing the game or not, I was not able to keep playing for long enough.
♦ Artwork: The VHS-ish style is popular nowadays with such games, although I can say that the drugs might need a better design (Pills for the shape instead of balls as a starter).
♦ Audio: Would not be able to judge that fairly due to the lack of progress in the game by my side.
♦ Bugs & Constructive Criticism; The combat system is what needs the most of the work, if players are unable to get far enough for the start because of one aspect of the game they are more likely to stop trying after 1 hour of struggle!
♦ Things to Double Down on: Having a game like this would be of advantage to you as I saw this style get consumed fast, try also to get other content creators to play your game and give you feedback for a better overall review! Best of luck and keep it up!
Hey Zack!
Thanks for playing my game! This feedback is very valuable and I will make sure to keep them in mind. Personally, I recommend you start playing the game on easy mode in order to get used to the controls and mechanics. Mouse sensitivity options are also available in the options in case you missed it.
In terms of progressing through the game, most people who played in normal mode had also said it was extremely difficult. So, its no problem if you didn't manage to get far :)
I hope you continue making these videos and achieve great success in the future!
You are most welcome Laiet, yes! I have found now the mouse sensitivity options, I have missed it XD!
The game by its normal mode is hard, but to be honest, I never thought to set it to easy mode and try it out! I do also thank you for your kind words, and you are welcome here at any time whenever you make another game project.
Hey Zakaria,
I just heard about your channel. I like the TOP Itch games of the month idea. If you have some time to test my game demo, I'd appreciate it.
Thank you!
Hi Johnny Pumpernickel, I like your game demo Retro Trivia Quest! I have also watched Dave and Sam video about it, it is posted on your game page, great spirit those two have! I can also say that I could barely relate to the trivia, big part of that is due to the fact it is not my culture! So it would do to the game badly if I made a video about it where I will completely lost and thus lose the viewers with me and maybe missleading them for subjective opinions and review!
I am also unable to record or play games using browsers! I had my share with issues with them in the past and decided to not accept those!
Honestly, Sam and Dave did a great job presenting the game at its best!
Hi Zakaria,
Thanks for taking the time to play my game and comment about it! I really appreciate it.
I can also say that I could barely relate to the trivia, big part of that is due to the fact it is not my culture!
That is a very helpful critic! I will be making changing to the game, and the trivia topics might be one of them.
Honestly, Sam and Dave did a great job presenting the game at its best!
I agree. They are the perfect audience, and have such a great positive energy too.
Hello again, yes, I do remember you and your game! Welcome back!
I have downloaded your game and wanted to check it despite that the trailer video you have for your game is not that promissing to make a gameplay walkthrough for, but decided to go and try the game anyways! However, I found only MP3 and PNG files! You might want to check back your files for the game!
Hello! I think that file there with the globe icon (titled "SimpleStrat") should be the game. It should just open by double-clicking it and if you would prefer, you could right click it and open it in Google Chrome (tends to work better on there but shouldn't have any issues with other browsers unless it's one that's outdated). If it's too troublesome to make a gameplay walkthrough for then no worries!
When developers click this thread to suggest or post their game here, the link take them to the last page here like any other thread, which means some will miss the rules I set and what is all about in the first place from the first page! One of the rules I have set (Because of many technical problems I had for this... same goes to the other rules) is that I do not take browser games requests! I have found the file you are talking about and now I can see it! I wish you all the bests LDGamingExpress, in case you made another game that qualify from those rules I have set, you are welcome to make a request again!
Oh, sorry! I didn't realize mine would qualify as one since it's not really intended to be one and might work as one due to being HTML/JS.
Hi there Ahmed Mo'nis, your game Sarin has a rather interesting concept story that is sensitive to make content about it; I am sure you already know how YouTube is in recent years! However, I took time to try out your game and said at least I could give you some idea, feedback and reviews! But the game starts and the character keeps moving by itself in the first area that looks like the one from Squid Game (the first one), I tried to take control but could only slow his sliding down a bit, the camera is also set in a view which is not optimal, not sure if we can change that in the settings as I only tried to get the character to stop moving!
Wish you best of luck with your game and future projects Ahmed!
I understand completely how Youtube has become which is why many people are switching to other platforms like Odysee. To be honest I’m a bit surprised about how the character would move by itself since I tested the game on multiple games with different people playing it and no one reported that ! I do acknowledge that there are some problems with the controllers though and I intend to fix that in my next games. Thank you for taking the time to try my game.
Hey mate try my most recent game caverns of underwood. Should keep you guessing a bit. Thanks and good luck with your channel. I hope it continues to grow!
Hello back again Hodslate, some feedback for your game:
- The game has the mouse cursor always shown once you start playing! Feels like it is stuck no matter how much I tried to take it off!
- The mouse sensitivity is too high and there was no option to change that to what suits me for a better controlling view!
- The game is too dark and confsuing (Maybe the confusing part is something you went for in the game, but the game being that dark prevented me from actually enjoying the game).
Keep in mind I have been recording and later one when was trying to edit the video and seeing the footages, it felt not right to present your game that way since it was too dark to see anything, even after editing and trying to correct the brightness and coloring! It actually makes it worst for the viewers to watch! It would have not done right by your game that video I was making today, so I decided not to go with it!
All good. I noticed it was darker on another stream someone else did but on my computer it's not that dark. I might adjust the brightness in it. Cheers
Hello there cryo, I have tried your game Scary Room Game, it is not that scary but surely fun to play! Really enjoyed the game concept you have there, with all the audio design and the mechanics! Having to know how each 'cryptid' works is actually fun and engaging! I might suggest few things here for your game:
- Try to add a funny creative text when you start the game for the first time asking the players to read the journel as there would be no tutorial!
- Would be nice as well to have another creative text saying that you are on your own to guess and figure out how each 'cryptid' works and behave!
- The game would have been better with a full screen option!
- More levels maybe?!!
Here is my Gameplay Walkthrough for it, it is a small video but engaging and there is no repetitions for best quality:
Thank you so much for this review! The video you have made is awesome and I appreciate it a ton! I will absolutely take your suggestions into account when working on a final polish of this game. Thank you again!!
Hi fizzy07, I have checked your game Alphape! It looks like you are focusing on having an ape agianst others, but visually speaking the enemies look like a box more than anything! Of course, this is a game still in developement, so I understand it is still work in progress!
I must say that the gameplay movement mechanics are hard to control, often you see yourself going off the platforms easily.
There was no music nor sound effects at all, consider adding that to your game!
There is more feedback inside the video itself, hope this helps you out sir:
theres music and sound in the settings, press your escape key! I also noticed that you didnt have a crosshair in the video. You can change your crosshair in settings -> graphics :) great video btw ! you can find the audio settings in in settings->general
Nice, thank you! Was not aware of the game being like this by defult and that we had to change these in the settings, thanks and best of luck!
Hi! I'd like you to play test my game called Super Major Miner. It's a demo right now, it's also missing sound effects at the moment. However, there is music! I'd appreciate your feedback. Here's the link to my game: https://jigson.itch.io/super-major-miner
Hi there Jigson, I have tested your game, looks like the game only have one level to it to be played! I wonder why, I was unable to play anything else except what the game starts with, even after clearing it with much points than the goal!
- It is better to not let the enemies respawn, it surprised me the first time it happened and thought I did not kill them.
- The level does not end when you reach the goal, but rather when time is up, so is there any plans for the extra points we collect them? Maybe skills or upgrades for our character!
Here is also the review for the demo now, could not play any other level so that is why you see it short! After finishing that level, you only able to re-play it:
Ah, I see. You need to hold up near the sack after you reach the goal to complete the level. I think I need to make it more obvious! Thanks for your feedback. Someone else had the same issue lol! That's probably an indicator that I need to make it more obvious. Perhaps I'll put some text above the sack that says "hold up" after you reach the goal. Sound good? There are actually 6 levels to play, it sucks that no one ever reaches them due to this lol! I may also want to reconsider the enemy respawns. And yes, there are plans to have a high score table. That's the only reason I give you an option to complete the level once you reach the goal, but that wasn't obvious lol. Thank you very much for your feedback! I'll probably come back to this thread soon.
Glad the review was helpful, and yes; you should have a way of indicating after you reach the goal, because when time is up and reaching the goal, the game tells you nothing about how to progress (by going to the sack)... I saw on the map there were other levels too, so I figured there must be something I am missing, now we know! Will pin your comment on the YouTube video for those who might come in the future and take a look at that review!
You are welcome again any time Jigson!
Hello Aayush Chaudhary, welcome and thank you fro submitting your game Dice Shot here! Few things to mention: You should have found a way to let the players know how to play the game from the in-game itself, because I have made this review before I read your game page writings about the controls! I have also found other issues that need a look from you, hope this helps out!
Hello there redratic1, I have never seen you here before and you said to me "long time no play" ?!!
I have tried your game and it seems there is an issue! Your game Redaxium 2 does not start, it freezes directly at this screen and no matter what I press it does not work!
I hope you have not put anything like a malware of a mining virus in your game, I work hard in order to help developers here and it is very strange that some developers go far to take advantage of this in a brutal way! I only mention this because I had my horrible moments here, you can check the old posts and you will find some here, most of them delete their posts after I call them out!
If not, please check your files for future users who might come to visit your game page.
Hello ZG. The game's predecessor and the full game is on steam. This is not malware of the month you seem to be on the lookout for.
To be fair, Redaxium 2 goes by Generic RPG #777 but this is explicitly mention on the steam store page and the itch.io link.
Which btw includes a link to the steam store page.
Yes we've had previously dealing and even then there were issues with the game running. I was hoping this time it would be a peace of cake for both of us.
https://itch.io/t/1225791/helping-developers-test-their-games-making-a-vidoe-on-...
That was for Redaxium which became quite a full game as I said. The account then says redratic.itch.io, but redratic1.itch.io is the current and it definitely has entries for both Redaxium and Redaxium 2. I hope that clears up the confusion.
Getting to the point:
Games sometimes do a preconfiguration on themselves when you run them. Infact i'd wager you've seen this phenomenon tons of times.
preconf.txt says OS=0, or OS=1 Windows/Linux respectively.
preconf_result.txt is generated for debug reasons.
In both cases the files belong to the game. And when preconf_result.txt it is or isn't present it is created anyway.
We're doing this for debugging purposes it should recreated regardless so it's up to date.
That implies deletion ALWAYS.
The bottomline ZG, games touch their own files. Depending on the developer their may be more or less smart/dumb/elaborate/concise with how. Should I create an append-only ledger for this? I guess I could. Should I cram all my debug files into one giant debug.log? I guess I could. But even that would be recreated so I could get the up to date file. Or I must make it into a giant ledger too.
I'd hoped we evolved past this stage where something goes magically wrong because of permissions, emulators, or overly cautious Anti-Virus program.
Welcome back redratic1, if I had known you are using another user name or account I would have welcomed you regardless of me checking your game or not! After I checked the link you just provided, I knew who you are! Do keep in mind I remember all the devs I help here and all of their games, even if it is not worthy of even called a game! I often test only half a level that some new uprising devs calls a game (Example for this, go to the very first page and look for Danielle's Games, his game is something that no one would be interested in, but I am here to offer my help) But, since I never tested your game because of that issue a year ago! I could not remember it by its name!
Now, let us put what we do here aside, I have showed you some screens from your game, right? I was hoping for me helping you (Keep in mind I had no idea what the game is about nor the developer which is you)! Now, if someone is offering their help for literally free, you don't come off that strong telling them or accusing them with looking for "malware of the month you seem to be on the lookout for"... I had someone similar to the tone of your first sentence here asking me agressively to review his game! With no context and no nothing: https://itch.io/post/6135348 + Another one was so impatient at the start, just after a week he posted the same game as if he is in a hurry: https://itch.io/post/6349949 Of course, I tried to be very understandable to his own situation and offered him other extra ways to get what he is looking for!
I can literally state lots of examples but I decided to choose the new recent ones so you can truely understand how much is so hard to offer your help and still get such kind of words! Please, do not accuse me of looking for "malware of the month" or whatever! Now, let me be understandable to you! I believe you are having some bad days, probably because of your game not having enough attention! And that's fine man, trust me! I am literally there! Most of the time I sleep only 4 hours every single day (It has been like this for the past 9 years or so) Working outside to sustain myself and my family, doing this whole online thing... There are times I literally spend hours and days in making for YouTube and at the end no one watches! Literally NO ONE! So I get it man, I get your anger and what you are passing by will probably be less hard to deal with! Our fathers usually say: "You grow with sturggle and pain..."
Again, I am here to help, but if there is any issue with what I clearly stated at the very first page that clearly goes to harm me or for this example my PC, I can't do that! I can't help on the expanse of hurting myself, I have done it in the past and it is horrible and scary! Man, I am here for the simple deed of helping solo developers and small indie game studios! I hope you can look to that and truely see that! Keep it up and best of luck! Never give up!
With respect,
Zakaria Ghorfati.
I think you are right ZakaraGhorfati (ZG).
I've got to take into account you can't control which games will be the ones that let you down. So it's a struggle for both parties.
I do see that many of your YT videos view counts are quite low. Which doesn't make sense because you are one of the few people who transparently review itch.io games on the regular. The fact that people aren't giving the videos and thus those games a chance to be "heard", is disturbing.
You sensed right that I was not in a mood to react with any overt politeness. I know how quickly the mob turns on developers and I couldn't afford to pretend as if I did something wrong on the subject of literal malware or not. The fact is I take a lot of pride in my work. I didn't think you were alleging it was malware but the mob may not care if you were or not. That includes other developers too btw who might have their smart kneejerk responses. This thread, your YT, and yourself are valuable, even if much goes underappreciated because we can't pick who gets to be a hit.
I really want things to be as simple as possible for you so you can do your job. Maybe I should remember you aren't paid anything to try these game so it's hard to stay motivated. You review games it seems almost daily, if not every other day.
I also take into account what's enjoyable for me as a developer. I can't be watering down my methods, even if there are counter-examples of people succeeding differently. You clearly have played games that ran correctly i'm guessing on first try. Some not so much.
I knew from our experience before there was an issue but I sincerely felt this time around there wouldn't be one. The game is so much more than the main menu which in all cases we've interacted doesn't even show the buttons!
Let's address the screenshot. It's true the game does things to its own files. The failure of which can lead to the game not running properly.
If your anti-virus is blocking the game from doing what it does in this regard of manipulating its own files, then it's not a surprise the main menu won't load. That might seem strange consequence but the FIRST thing the game does is read/writing to its own files. This more or less a pre-GUI task.
Sadly I cannot fix this order of operations meaningfully, because the game still needs to touch its files eventually.
What I think we've learned here ZG is I need to add a GUI error window that says what has gone wrong. Then you can know what to do.
I'm definitely pretty tired myself and immensely broken by gamedev. Skipping the sob story about game journos not responding and me begging people to even give my game a chance... it's just not easy to fundamentally re-work anything anymore. I've for a long time wanted a more reliable UI at the start that was disentangled from game errors, but there are so many other unrelated issues that are important for the good of the game. I figure if someone really cares they just add the AV exceptions and get on with playing the game.
If you've tried everything then I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Good luck.
Once can clearly notice from the way you have put these words that you are indeed an understandable person! Of course, you will be upset to see your game not even running, not along for someone to slightley attatch it to having a malware or anything!
You probably have been trying with the gamedev journey for so long! I had tried as well, for a period of time, all I wanted is to make games! Without getting to the sad story of mine with the gamedev, let us just say I got betrayed for my own ideas and hard work (Will never mention names when it is something this bad) It broke me, and I knew developing a game was not right for me at that time (Not even now, maybe a little bit down the road)... So I deleted my past, or at least a huge part of it!
Now, I am doing what you already mentioned in your own nice words! Thank you for that, really! It means a lot to me for seeing things as they are! And I do get it, life is not easy! For the whole YouTube thing, is just a bi-product from my Game Testing passion let's say! I wanted to help ppl out in the best way I can, the whole YouTube thing was just to showcase whta I can! Of course there are times where you think I should just stop this, but there are also times where you feel blessed or happy at least (Yes, me happy for helping others and happier when I know I have truely helped) Examples: https://itch.io/post/6143170 https://itch.io/post/6234690 So there is a good side of everything here!
My humble advice to you sir, you keep on what makes you feel better! Do what you love, but if it does not work for you after many tries, try to change it up a bit! Example of my YouTube channel: I wanted and still want to do Gameplay Walkthrough videos, but it is not going anywhere! So I changed that to game reviews, I even tried Top Best games here, Interviews...etc, So do try to change what you are using for developing your games! Try a different tool, try different assets, styles, coding...etc
Hey ZakariaGhorfati You're probably busy on the next game review. But whenever you gain the time, could you please upload these files, game_debug.txt, preconf_result.txt, and log.txt? They should be in the game folder where the .exe is. I know you couldn't get the game to work, but they could contain important information so I can begin to think about what to try differently. You may choose to review them in a text editor first if you wish. If you could do this for me i'll add you to the credits of the game next update.
Hello and welcome back CampiaoGames, you have been fast with that update! Looks better than before of course!
Would it be crazy if you were to add some combat system? Like shooting the cars while racing?! Think of Blur (A racing game called Blur)!
Also as part of the feedback, the other ships when racing seems to have very low AI as I was able to win every single time in 1st place with a huge difference! Maybe I am just a good dirver haha who knows!
Hello Zakaria!
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I like your idea of a mode of combat. I need to study how i still do it, but I intend to add that idea.
About AI, I'm going to review a few things to make it more challenging.
Thanks again!
Hello Zakaria!
Thank you for this opportunity. I have been developing a game for the past few months and just recently uploaded my first demo of it. It's called Cities Restored and it's a strategy, simulation, city building game, where you attempt to rejuvenate rejected cities and populate them with families ready to prosper and enjoy life. I would very much appreciate it if you did a gameplay walkthrough of it as I'm trying to get as much feedback as I can about whether or not people like the concept. You can find it at https://vmahabir.itch.io/cities-restored.
Hi vmahabir, I just replied on your latest post here about Cities Restored game! Please reply only on that post to keep things organized instead of making a new post! In case you have new updates and need me to test it again or just looking for feedback, you can simply contact me directly on my Discord or Instagram or E-mail, these are the fastest ways you can reach out to me!
Hello Zakaria!
Finally, I finished my theatrical performance. And it's ready to show.
I will be glad to see you and hear your opinion my friend!)
Hello and welcome back itfunkylab, always nice seeing your short horror games! I believe you are making chapters instead of having all at once inside one game! Maybe one day you could gather all the contents together, really looking forward for more content from you.
Hi Zakaria!!! Thank you very mach for your comment and video!!!
Someday I will collect all the parts in one game. BUT, so far I've only been able to do this development format.
Hello again! I want you to play test my Super Pole Jumper game demo. There are 5 levels in this demo (one of them is a tutorial). The controls should be fairly simple: Simply press A to attack and Z to jump or double jump, and Enter to pause the game, and that's about it! You can also slide by holding down and pressing A (the attack button). The tutorial should explain the rest. There's like 15 music tracks, as well as sound effects! (I let you listen to all the sound and music in the pause menu). Thank you very much for your feedback so far! See you soon! P.S I suggest trying to make it to the snow stage, it's my personal favorite! Here's the link to my game: https://jigson.itch.io/super-pole-jumper
Hello Zakaria! So I haven't heard from you in some time so I wanted to find out if you were still interested in playing the demo of my game Cities Restored, the strategy, simulation, city building game where you attempt to rejuvenate rejected cities and populate them with families ready to prosper and enjoy life. I uploaded an updated version of the demo yesterday so I would recommend you try that one instead of the one I uploaded previously. Here's the link: https://vmahabir.itch.io/cities-restored. Even if you don't stream it or put it on youtube, your personal feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!
If you have any questions about the gameplay mechanics, feel free to message me.
Hello vmahabir, I have seen your previous post and I was working on it, however it takes time to reach your turn due to the amount of game requests I get, I go by order by requests most of the time in case you are wondering! Of course, I am not making any money by doing this, so there is my personal life + my job and work outside of the online world... However, I do have a gig running on Fiverr for those who are in need of a fast test for their games or sessions of tests or any kind of feedback, I had to make a new gig and take down the old one since I mostly I get requests from solo developers and small game studios! (The new gig has lower prices that suits devs for a fast delivery)
Now, since this explanation is out of the way! (Only explained after I saw this new post of yours) I have here a review for your game! Of course, I will mention here some additional feedback to you:
- The UI need a little bit of work, since the game starts directly with everything on the map. Maybe giving a section for the tutorial apart to explain things out is better from a gameplay experience point of you.
- I could say some of the things need of explanation are: What causes happiness to drop and/or to rise up (I figured this by myself but better have things sorted out for new players) Also what causes the "red" phase of a family and how to save it. How to eradicate those pests and criminals. One thing very important, try not to explain things in long sentences or pragraphs! I have seen many players avoid reading for too long.
- I do like the fact you have power-ups being generated to you with the option to choose!
I see that you wrote here you have a new update for your game! Keep in mind this is based on the version found in your first post here! Hope this helps
Hi Zack! It's been long since we last talked, how have you been doing?
By the way, we are back with a completely new project! We have decided to take a break from the World War 2 era and decided to create a modern-day tactical shooter based on classic Ghost Recon & Rainbow Six games, called Phantom 8: Counter-Terrorist Unit.
This game is quite different from our previous ones, as it offers you freedom in choosing your approach to objectives, it's basically non-linear. You would also have to be more careful with your surroundings, as a few bullets alone could sign you off this world immediately, without any help from medpacks.
This is the link to our game! It currently only has 1 level set in Greece, since we are waiting for feedback to further develop the game ;D
We hope you could give it a try, your feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Hello and welcome back, I have not been active that much on itch.io latelt for the lack of support, now after seeing your post I took some time before getting down to testing the game and give it a go!
I liked the new project of yours and hope you guys are doing well at your work over there, best of wishes to you both!
I would surely say that the AI is the massive issue, for the most part it felt so easy to go through each room with almost zero danger but still a fun game to play the least and a good change from what you guys have done before! Hope this video helps XD
Thank you so much for playing! I guess we breathed some fresh air back into the itch post XD
I'm very glad you enjoyed our short little demo, we will continue to improve upon it to give you the best possible experience when the full game comes out, including more competent bad guys!
We'll feature your clip on the game page :Đ
I stopped for a while for lack of support and some other developers not looking for feedbacks or improving their games but rather just a covered video uploaded on YouTube which they would not even take a look it for themselves!
I am still open to help devs here as long as they are looking for it, not going to refuse anyone who submit their games unless against some common morals. You are welcome here 9BitGames!
It is kinda a free marketing service haha! I started here with the intention to help indie developers (Long ago I watched an indie game that was literally dying, at that time, the fast growing Jacksepticeye started a series on it and now we have it as Subnautica, he shared something the developers said about their game not having even enough people testing it and giving feedback, even without making content about it! So I took this to my vision after I became a Game Tester).
It is sometimes hard on developers and on content creators to grow! And this is exactly why this is here free! As long of course I am of a help. Honestly, the support that keeps me motivated doing this is you guys finding what I do of importance and value! Some (very few and rare people) did not show any interest in their own game, all they looked for is a promotion to get money out of it, well at least show some love to your own game! We all have to earn a living of what we are doing, just make sure to not lose that passion, wouldn't you agree?
A support can go a long way, sometimes just a show of interest when submitting your game can be enough! You check some posts of others here and you will find them not even caring after I do reply and post a video with lots of detailed feedbacks! Joining to my YouTube channel is the most that I could ask here!
Yeah, I understand your point! I used to be like why the hell I would want to watch someone else play a game! Well, there a lot of people that can not afford a good PC to play certain games they love, or afford the game cost itself so they watch others play it, it is more like a TV-Show series and can be fun depending on the creator who is posting! Some others watch it for the sake of seeing how the actuall gameplay is so they can judge it themselves before buying, others watch because of the fun moments someone can have when showcasing a game, like Jacksepticeye when he used to play a lot of unkown indie games...etc! There are a lot of reasons to a person watching "Let's Play" videos! Even Indie Developers watch those so they can take notes to make their games better.
For your own game to be chosen by a creator for example on YouTube can depend a lot on the style and taste those having in common with your game! Some love and only look for Puzzle games, others look for Horror, I have seen some YouTube channels only post weird looking indie games, some pixel-art styles game... you got the point!
I will be glad to take a look at your game, already downloaded it yesterday, I have some work to do first then I will get back to yours!
No worries! You did not send me any link or posted here your game! I hope you have read my rules in the first page my thread here... I am not buying any games in case this is what you thought! I assumed you will send an email with a key like so many here did since I am doing this for free here helping devs with their developments! Overall, it is all good. Best of luck for you 9BitGames.
Hello Zakaria. I made my first game and i would be very interested in your opinion. I hope you like it.

Hello Kinis, looks like you have an interesting game with lots of content! However, there are plenty of issues and bugs going on in your game, this video should showcase to you the most important notes so you can get your game in a better shape than it is already! There times where I got stuck too with no way to get out unless I restart the entire game! I hope this is of help to you! You can also see my first impressions on some interesting parts of your game.
I only write such detailed feedback for those who seem serious about updating and developing their games better, so here are some written feedback alongside the Gameplay Walkthrough here:
♦ Game Idea: I do like such cursed kingdom games, looks very interesting to play through! I can see myself playing this again in my spare time after fixing the issues of course!
♦ Gameplay: Most noticable thing is the sensitivity of the mouse, it is too high and I would appreciate having a setting option for this part.
- There are multiple bugs and blocked ways in the game, it is much easier to let the video explain as there are visual help to get you through with these issues!
- Another issue is the combat, it does not feel responsive that fast, nor it feels like it is accurate for when pressing the attack buttons.
♦ Story: Nice little story going on, would be better if the sound quality was a little bit better.
♦ Artwork: Nice artwork and level designs!
♦ Audio: For sure the voice over and voice acting can do better, it does not sound stable across different characters, for the pitch and volume too! Might know a couple of voice actors out there to help you out!
Hello Zakaria. Thank you very much for your feedback and video. This will help me a lot to further improve the game and fix existing bugs. All the character voices are my own so they sounds really weird :)
Happy I could help! Really a good solid idea you have there for your game!
I kinda figured it out for the voices haha, you did good changing them for the other characters!
Hi there Majid Roth Media, had some copyright claims! I believe it is due to music in your game so I can't really risk it to go public, I tried to mute sound where the copyright claim is locate! Not sure if it is resolved or not. This video will help you see how your game is doing with some feedback, hope this helps:
The video has been put to private like I said to avoid any risks from YouTube itself! Had my share with such legal issues before.
The piece is starting from 06:15 in the video, I believe YouTube might have have processed that part and muted all sounds there! Can't tell the name of the music piece anymore.
Oh, just replied to your other post here! Sure thing, let me add this to list to do for this upcoming week! Thank you for submitting your game here.
Hello Zakaria, sorry if I’m being a bother but you didn’t seem to respond when I showed my Pole Jumper game to you. I was very excited to know what you thought about it and what I could improve! Thanks again for all you have done, for me and everyone else in this thread!
Hello Jigson, ohh! I thought I did, must have mistaken it being an update with your Major Mining game that I have done before. Will get to it! I also had taken a long rest from creating content here on itch.io so I never double checked here on my thread.
Very cool, my Game Dampftraum is now available in english and i would be happy to see you play it.

Its a short story driven game.
You've helped us all so much, Zakaria. You deserve a good break.
We hope to see you back in action soon!
For now, take care :Đ
Thank you a lot Warlines Studios! You guys have been great with me! Hope to see you in the future.
Keep up the good work XD
