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!

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

Amazing experience, the different seeds work together nicely. Would prefer it if the failed level screen allows you to restart when pressing the button, but other than that I really enjoyed this game (I wasn't able to beat the final seed tho :( )

A fast paced game where you must get the correct medicine to patients within time. Would love to see peoples reactions to it (the patients randomization took me all night to do lol)

Hello all

I am very active within the Game Dev community on Twitter (@jambuckett) and plan to play several games while create content around them. This is in an effort to grow my own accounts, provide game dev analysis, grow as a developer myself, and to promote your own brand / games. I may also do the same for my Tik Tok / Instagram (same name) as this will be content of interest to my followers and help me grow there.

If you're interested in me creating content around your game then please reply to this with the link. I will be playing as many games as I can over the rating period anyways, but this is also a networking thing so will be good to get to know some people

Great advice, I'll add another one that I always forget:

If your game is playable in browser, then make sure to set up the window settings beforehand, otherwise it can looks really weird when played by players. 

ALSO, if there is any bugs or weirdness you wasn't able to deal with, make a note of them in the bio of your game. Players can forgive a lot more than you think, so as long as you make them aware of some issues, you'll be fine 

Amazing use of the theme, love the level design, somewhat challenging game, really enjoyed it

Terrifying, great job on creating that atmosphere of terror, 

Really interesting story, the choices are incredible lol. Very well done

INCREDIBLE visuals, gameplay is very deep, I didn't get past day 7 unfortunately, but I loved the choices and randomness 

Had a lot of fun playing this, the theme is excellent, gameplay is simple but fun, would love to see this concept made into a full game
