[Robot Dimensions (Game Jam Edition)]

It's fine. Would definitely be a good idea to tell the player the controls (Z/X to change colors, arrows to move, shift/space to jump)

migthegreat responds:

[GEMSTONE DREDGING]

Absolutely delightful minesweeper-like! I have managed to soft-lock myself though - I put a flag down wrong, fought a kraken, then picked it back up when I noticed it was wrong. I have no unbroken spaces left but since I have a flag it won't end the level. Minor issue though, very well done

TheSailorDev responds:

Thank you for letting me know. I will see if I can replicate the bug. Hopefully I can sort it out. I am glad you enjoyed it none the less!

[Tidying Up + Secrets of the Sewers]

Cute! And it's got a really sweet story

Intrapath responds:

Hey, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for playing!

[Don't think about elephants!!]

Impressive! If you plan to update this game at some point, you might consider doing something to prevent the screen from scrolling when moving the character up and down

MerGrazzini responds:

Thanks! And yes, fixed that and added some details to the losing condition :)

[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]

Simple? Yes.
Easy? Not for long!

Great game!

adriendittrick responds:

thanks for playing!

[Earth Shield]

The game definitely needs some work. The controls are okay, but they make the barrier jump to specific locations if you switch directions, and that needs to be fixed. Also, I would personally recommend changing the controls to have the shield follow the mouse, but that's not a necessity.

Fistlek responds:

Thank you for the review. If you switch directions you jump across to the other side of the planet.

[sky high]

It's promising! I think my biggest complaints are that the balloons are pretty finnicky and that there isn't much in the sky (why have movement controls when you're practically never going to use them?)

NonGMOTrash responds:

if you limit yourself to only 2 or 3 balloons you can wiggle around a bit
thanks for the review!

[Fly High]

There are two things that really bug me here. Namely, those vibrating things I choose to describe as walls. They're a tad distracting and I fail to understand why they are there. You might consider doing something with them, but that's really not something some random on the internet should have a great say in.

There's also the issue of controls. You should really consider putting a description or an additional screen stating the controls, because I still don't know what they are. Is it supposed to be the arrow keys? WASD? Does the ship's nose follow the pointer, or does it move with the scroll wheel? All of these seemed to do something and nothing at the same time.

Thanks for reading this whole thing, and I'm quite sorry if I came across a bit harsh

Chuckykillr responds:

Hi, thank you for the great feedback. You were not harsh at all. :) I will be sure to get those issues first and upload v2 :)

[V2 Platformer]

Not bad, you should probably look into either changing the controls to wasd or fixing it so that jumping doesn't scroll up in the site

TheFrontFlipKeper responds:

I don't think I can change the controls, but a new update is coming today with a new boss!

[Dodge Jump]

It's kinda like Flappy Bird, but with less information. You might consider showing the obstacles a bit earlier so there's enough time for the player to react

EwaltzYT responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I'm trying to implement features from people who play the game!
