I played your game early judging phase in the jam--but just followed a post you made recently, and played it again! I forgot to save my rating the first time!

We've only got one day left! I think I've made a game that anyone can beat-- and enjoy! Let me know what you think, it was my very first game jam!

Well, it's been a couple of days-- the judging is still happening. Which is good, there is so many games left for me to check out and play. I am going to go through and give all your games a shot-- it's a holiday for me, so I am sure if can find some time to play some more game jam games if anyone out there has some links to share. 
I played most of the popular ones that are getting shared around and promoted.. but I know there are some more little gems out there! :)

Leave a link to your game please!

No way, haha. I love it when you already had the feature I thought was missing.. duh, my bad. :) That is the shame of gamejams, you wanna play as many as you can-- and it is so tough learning mechanics and controls so quickly!

I had no idea you could do that--- so, yes.. I absolutely will next time. *face palm*

Polished look. Feels a little text heavy at the start before the games and stuff happen! Visuals and audio very good.

Graphics. Wow. Amazing. Needed a restart button for me. I had to restart it once to get the hang of it. I am glad I got to beat at least a few levels! :) Hitting the pot is super satisfying. But missing hurts too!

I agree with you there-- when I made it I knew all the tricks and upgrades (strength btw, haha) to get the best scores.. so I was worried it would be too easy, or pacing would be too slow. Hard to balance these game jams! But I am glad that most people are able to make it all the way to the end. Which was important to me.

This was my attempt at using 3d, the models are very basic. 

Thank you so much for reviewing my game-- I left you a review, I am serious when I said that. Your game was almost perfect. For my vibe when testing jam games. Clear goal, achievable, and enjoyable. 

If you're playing this yourself: Get the aerodynamics, it's the cheat code for getting more points per spin. 

This might win 1st place if it gets enough eyeballs. Top marks. Period. 
Only small critics I had I left them on your itch page, this game is the best one of the jam so far. 
I beat it, and I wanted more. 

Perfection. It was a slow start-- but I figured it out just in time not to give up. Then the incremental hit, and I made sure to finish it. 

It would be nice to be able to reset from bad launches, before you hit the ground for no gained money. Only recovering money from landed position?

Great game!

This is such a great concept. The physics are challenging. But the graphics, how did you get it to look so delicious? 

Great marks. It was done well, the quality is there. The boss fight is fun and challenging. The gambling feature is rough, because sometimes you just do yourself damage a bunch. Haha. 

It is a shame I didn't get a chance to play test this earlier.. You got a great foundation here for something really good. 

Wow. The first impressions on the menu is like AAA quality.
Audio was balanced well.

If you can find a way to increase the pace of the game a little at the start, maybe start off with an obstacle course for the player, instead of a challenging level with game resetting jumps right at the start. 

It just seemed very punishing for my very first time playing. But the overall impression is very positive for a game jam title!

Hey I saw you working on this in the Discord. I am glad you got it work and was able to let us play it. If you let me do more damage to enemies, I would have played this for even longer than I already did. 

You did it! You released it! You got enemies in there and everything. The gun felt good to shoot-- honestly I just wanted to do MORE damage, and shoot more!

You really know how to make a styling game, the menus and characters-- the dialog boxes. Juicy.
Making people do math is so cruel! Haha. 

Dude! I was fighting for my life in this game! Haha! :D

Graphics are very ambitious for a game jam game. Impressed with the visuals. Top marks there. 
Car controller needs to be dialed in a little to really make jumping and scooting around town more intuitive. 
Great entry. 

I saw the vision-- but the vehicle controller just wouldn't cooperate with me. Once it was loaded it ran quite well, aside from the vehicle having .. internal torque forces or something. I was able to control car the in really cool ways. 

I think you're on the right track.

Great game, visuals and style points! Small issues with my sense of direction and getting stuck on rocks, and ramps. But the reset button helped a lot!

The first level should have just been a really long hill we could roll down and get used to the controls. 

I feel like I am trapped in a maze from the start!

This games graphics are great! The first impression when you start to move and roll around are like, wow, this feels clean and thought out, with the tutorial and the sunflower seeds. 

But then I get trapped and lost. Thank you for having a restart option. That makes trying to play from the start more easy.

I'm just bad at games maybe, but I think there should have been a really long hallway, or or a hill to roll down! :) Jumping down a level is easier than trying to jump up one. And usually makes you feel way more cool. 

Great game jam!

Great work! Great score. My only complaint is that I wanted more of it!

Once I figured it out, I just wanted more! You know what I mean!

Dude sick. Took me a second to lock in. There needs to be more! It felt like it should sped up.. or got more intense, or...

But the part where I locked in, and tried to get a good score felt really good!

I'll be going through the list of games here as well in my free-time doing some rating. I hope you can all check out mine :)

What will you do to save your city?

Absolutely I can! -- the dealer model sell it :)

Nice little jam game! Muhaaha!

This is the perfect little game for a jam light this. You got the character and the game loop. I lost, but kept trying. I figured it out!

Great little game! The main game scene is pretty fun. Could use some difficulty and pacing tweaking, to draw in the player more before jumping into it. 

Great game. The tune is a jam. I played it just to listen to the music. If you time it right its even better. 

I am watching somebody on Youtube play this right now-- and he is trying so hard to beat this! It's amazing. Chopie The Cat Is his name.

This is the first time I've had so much feed back on my game; it is amazing how much polish you can apply-- and how many bugs you can squish with a few honest play testers!

Haha-- I have no idea what I got myself into! But the presentation is great.. the humour is good, I like how it even got a little upset when I couldn't figure it out right away. Haha.

You have an actual little game on your hands, the graphics are there, the game play is there.. it's a great puzzle game!

Visuals are great. Everything works. No bugs. I've never played a game like this. I kind of felt smart for coming up with cool head lines. There was another game similar in concept to this, but you chose from 4 different headlines? I felt this one was more engaging. Well done BARKER!

The polish and juice on this is awesome. If you're looking to make a deck game, you have what it takes. This was fun. I made sure to get myself a couple pizza parties. :D Haha. 

This is one of the best games I've played all night. The only issue is that my mouse didn't lock to the game window. Which is fine, running it in full screen is easy too. But other than that I didn't have any issues until later levels.

The graphics were top notch, sound design was good. Spinning blade? Right on theme.  

Oh my gaww! This was so much fun. Silly little game jam. But the polish on everything was good. I made it to the spinny bit... I had a lot of fun that was a funny way to end the skill tree. xD

Great graphics. Smooth running. But the controls were tough for me. Alternate jump buttons would have been sick.. and the first level should always be really really easy for scrubs like me! :D
