Hello all, I'm a new Youtuber and plan to grow my gaming / game dev channel by playing different games and extracting lessons from them. I'll play your game, review it, make a video, and then likely extract a lesson or 2 and post that across my social medias. If you'd like your game played and made into a video, then leave your game in a comment to this thread. My channel, same name, has a playlist with previous jam entries I've reviewed

Honestly mate I loved playing it and see so much potential, it's even inspired me to make my own combat platformer to test out what I'm saying. I'd say add "creating moments" to your goals, such as when the enemies drop down around the player creating that panic. It's fairly easy to do when you have the systems already working and it sticks with players (this is due to psychology which I won't go into but it's super easy to do). best of luck with your next projects, I'll defo be playing them <3

I really enjoyed this game, but I see SOOO much missed potential with it and I hope to share my thoughts with you because you could very easily create some cool gameplay moments if you combined a few of the mechanics.

For example, having some platforms and then enemies drop onto the platforms, creating a mini kind of boss fight, or the player walking and then enemies drop on both sides of them to create some panic. 

That being said, I really enjoyed this game and hope to see you continue with it

Full review here

An original idea, I think the comedy is a let down, there needs to be more of a reaction, but other than that i love the minigames style you've taken here, and the final screen is INCREDIBLE. Full review here

I know this isn't a competition, but this game will come number 1 in the jam

A truly amazing experience using random events to tell a story, I think it would be nice if you could view your resources when in events to assist with choice making but that's just a personal touch from me. Incredible experience, you really should make this into a full release, it'll do well

Full video here

I really love how deep you've dived into the computer theme, I love the way the enemys attack, a very cool way to add some depth there, full video review here

Your art skills are incredible, there's so many tiny details that I love, the combat is satisfying and leads to some cool moments. That being said, the player artwork and animation is so good that the Knights lack of animation, when compared to the player and slimes, does stand out. Overall a great game, likely top 10 for this jam, my full review is below

The immersion is crazy, I love how vibrant the text is - really gives the feel of 1980s si-fi, I did find the gameplay loop to be challenging and quite hard to get into, personally I would have preferred if the first few opponents were a bit easier so i didn't keep dying on the second stage, but I don't really play this type of game so that could be a genre thing. Needing to type commands is a nice touch, again adding to the immersion of this being a space mission. Here is my video play and review

hello all, I'm a new Youtuber and plan to play through a few of your games to make some content out of. I will do a live playthrough, and a review. The video will breakdown any interesting techniques you used, with an aim of teaching viewers how to make simple mechanics interesting. These videos will then be broken down into clips which will be shared across my social media channels. 

Due to my set up, I can only play browser / HTML games, and I will be taking a reviewer angle, but if you want your game played then it benefits us both

Just leave a comment and I'll check it out and then link the video in your games reviews as I leave my rating

Really cool game, quite a bit of strategy involved, fun visuals, high chance of coming in top 100, good job

Nice graphics, movement all works fine, sound seems a little high but that's fine, I love how you've taken a simple platformer and made it a bit more interesting by using a Microwave Robot - that's really neat

Spamming P is an option I used to win almost every fight

But what I really like is how the enemy behaves. I had a few times where they constantly darted around, leading to them flanking me and getting hits from behind. That was a nice way to create dynamic moments.

But it was very blurry for me, that could be just me tho 

Hello All

I plan to play as many games as I can and rate them

But I'm also an avid Twitter / BlueSky user and content creator in the Game Dev space. So if I see anything that I think is quite nice, such as a cool way to make a simple mechanic more interesting, then I'll create a tweet about it (sometimes even going into threads about how this effects player psychology)

I can only play browser games due to my current hardware, but if you want me to review and possibly tweet about your gamejam game then drop the link below

Any reviews of my game will also be appreciated

The shark coming in randomly from the side, and it's movement path being a bit diagonal and shifting, was genius. A great way to add lanes you have to watch out for, and taking the players attention away from easier obstacles

I've created a Twitter post about it cause I think it's an easy but great way to add difficulty to simple mechanics 

you are about to die, how will you spend your final moments? 

Testing out a new dialogue system, bigger maps, and more storytelling through dialogue

So this was a test for a feature I'm adding into my long term project, have already added flashes when hit, and currently working on stamina bars, but everything else is roughly the same. I think this style of combat will be easy to set up and tweak for different bosses throughout my story so I'm working on getting it perfect as it'll likely be the emotional climax of my game too

Thank you for your feedback. This was a kinda demo for a feature I wanted to add into my first commercial game (using gamejams to test features in the field has been insane lol), and the feedback has been useful. I have now added flashes for hits, and working on stamina bars for both characters (funnily enough, due to how I've written my attack script, you can't attack OR block if you have no stamina, which was a happy accident)

thank you so much for your detailed feedback. I will implement stamina and some punishments for spamming recklessly. Might even try to implement a cool intro animation, inspired by you 😉❤️

Seeing the man heading to the door was terrifying but seeing the snake moving around the house was such a cool experience, nice one there

The music is amazing, really adds a great vibe, I'd love to see this idea turned into a full game, is a lot of fun

Really cool idea, the intro animation is awesome, music is nice, addictive gameplay, very likely a top 5 entry

hello all, I plan on playing as many games as I can when I get back from work tonight, leave a link to your game in a comment and I'll play it and leave a review tonight

It's so cool how you have 3 games in 1, each game works well, and the art style is consistent across each. Also lots of room for expansion, really well done, i can see this coming in the top 10

heya, thank you for the feedback. It's a shame the hit feedback wasn't there, i spent about 4 hours figuring out how to make the "hit" register on the right frame 😅 but going forwards I will add knockback or a flash or something. Thank you for your feedback 💓

I'll check out your game! Mine is a fast paced rush to get the correct pills to your patients in time while a rival doctor attempts to stop you

Really cool artwork, the different abilities were a nice touch, wish the giraffe was used more, great game

This game will come in the top 10, using your previous self's is genius, please make this into a full game 

really fun game

The visuals are awesome, love the neon, the way you've created vertical depth is also insane, gameplay is a little simple but that's okay

Creating this in first person was genius, simple game but that perspective made it interesting, great job

Incredible game, I love how the narration makes simple tasks hilarious, very well done with that, here is my review and analysis

Lol this is gonna come in the top 10. The narrator is funny af, shame there's not more voice lines. A really fun experience

Really cool how you've changed the enemies to all be different, the massive grey ones scared me. The power ups are good,. My only downside is there doesn't seem like an incentive to die, I can play the game like a shooter and if I die then it's a bonus, but I never felt like I needed to get myself killed to progress. Maybe if there were specific rounds such as 1 grey guy who you needed x powerup for, and this was visualised somehow, that would add to the effect.

Also i love how the instructions are on the wall in front of spawn. Thats sweet

A fast paced game where you must get the correct pills to patients or they die. random enemy spawn and random pills needed to keep things interesting, and 3 possible endings!

https://jambuckett.itch.io/hospital-love-triangle

A great game, I think the moral choice is a little uneven - if I give apartments to young people then I seem to lose, but I think this ideas has INSANE potential, and I've shared some ideas for next steps in this video.

A fast paced, high tension, game where you must deliver pills to patients. Pills needed are randomized, pills themselves are randomized, and enemy spawn is also randomized. 3 possible endings too!

If there is more than a tutorial then I'll delete this video and redo it

I enjoyed the experience, the switching mechanic feels good. I would have liked to see a bit more, and a little story (even just some funny text on screen for why you're in jail) would have gone a long way, but everything works and feels good to play

To everyone responding, my set up isn't great (i don't have a mic for my PC so will have to transfer vids to my phone), but i will respond with the links to youtube / tik tok, whenever I post them. I will attempt to find your socials and also tag you if possible
