Done, i followed everyone here

ornery responds:

worm

[Into King Rabbit's Mansion]

Dude, not being able to jump adds a whole nuew layer of difficulty, great concept

FadrikAlexander responds:

Thanks for playing!!

[Tether Buds]

Man, really interesting mechanic, super hard once you reach a certain point, but also super rewarding and thoughtful, really cool game

JauqGames responds:

Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it.

[Trail Of Pigs]

Okay, THAT WAS D A R K oh my god
i accidentally killed a mother, i stood there hidden for a good chunk of time reflecting on what the hell i just had done....i feel so bad for the kid.
i like it because is uncomfortable, the sounds of the pigs are groteque and very off putting and this mechanic of going into the wood to take important stuff from others who might also need it is a good moral compass, how much worth does one life has?
pretty good experience overall, i think its a good game

Stopsignal responds:

Hahahah, thanks!! I'm glad you saw it as that and not as twisted. I mean, it is twisted, but feeling bad for doing it is kind of the point of the game. To sell the brutality of the game's world, y'see. This comment makes me really happy! Thank you for playing!!

[Kill Lola Bunny]

This really takes me back to when i playeds newgrounds games in the school math class with a computer that barely worked without exploding

Yomuchan responds:

Those were good times.

[FAST FOOD FUNKIN']

i still suck at these kind of rythim games, but i had fun, the voice acting and the art style is great, altough (i dont know if this is something that happneed because im really bad) but the voice glitched a little, like it stuters

BrandyBuizel responds:

The "Missed Note" sounds work properly now and the full song is playable! :)

[Flavouride]

Music:good
Graphics: good
Notes: i never figured out how to fly, i pressed everything but in the end i could not even pass the first level due to it, so far it seems good i like the pixel art and the animations are smooth, but i dont apparently i cant even play it porperly or my trashy keyboard is broken as fuck.
Edit: forget it i learned how, but its really 0 intuitive and really hard to pull off, at least for me
that doesnt mean i didt had fun playing, it really looks like an interesting mechanic, it just didt resonated well for me.
i say you did an amazing job with this each level has a lot of care put into them and none of the scenarios feel unfair, its just a matter of practice

HealliesGames responds:

I didn't believe the combo jump resulted so messy.
It's a shame, because the levels were not that hard in my opinion.

Thanks anyway for trying and for your time, ElCatrin!

[Save the Princess Gayme!]

Okay, i loved how it looked, from the very first moment with that paper motion intro and the super cute artstyle, the idea of backtraking and finding the solution to others problems to help you out is amazing and a staple of thse kinda games.
BUT
i had some problems with it, first off and something that cant be used in criticism, the music, there is none, at least i didnt heard anything after the title screen.
And the first minigame i tried, the spores thing was entretaining, i like those kinds of tasks, but the images of the spores didnt loades and the second time i tried to see if they loades it kinda crashed, i could not go back, then i reloaded and it kinda crashed, imma go and see if i can fix this, so please wait for my edits because i really want to try more of this game, i can clearly see how much work it went into it

KoolLambGames responds:

I'm not sure why the music wouldn't work, although there have been quite a few comments about it not playing properly. Could you try to replicate the spore problem? Does it help if you refresh the page (instead of pressing Start after already completing the game)?

[SUPER IZZY]

This was both fun and weird but i feel it needs more of a few things.
The art choice and the characters movements are good and all, is charming and easy to understand, i even liked a lot how going near the house makes it move for you to jump in it, but after that, watching the strange photoshoped creature at the realistic loking Guinea Pig level was bizarre, and even more the water level after it, i didnt knew where to go or what to do to go out of the water, i ended stuck there and only diying and going back to the other screen saved me.
The first level is good, but i also feel that its important to say InGame tha you can wall jump, maybe i lost it, but i didnt saw it anywhere, the boss battle was interesting and not really stressful, i also love the voice acting.
Overall i can see the passion put into this, i can see it has great ideas with the use of 2 characters, but it definetly needs more polishing

scottwjsm responds:

Thank you I will have to keep this in mind for the next game.

[Mina Miner: Dig Deep!]

Thats was super fun to play, super smoth, the main character is adorable, the music in entretaining and overall a great experience.
there where som eproblems like how the drill sometimes will go no matter that you already hitted it or how it sometimes the momentum of the drill will be lost and suddenly gain it again after certain bounces.
Some of the power ups and downgrades make it really hard to play (damn you erratic drill) but thats part of the experience really.
this is a great game, although i may be saying it because ima breakout fan, but i had fun

larrynachos responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm definitely going to tweak how the drill speed is influenced. Might have to lower the timer on lights out and erratic drill too, if they're becoming too much of an issue.
