[DUNGEON RAMBLER [demo]]

Great looking game with cool atmosphere. Plays really well. Love the look of the enemies.

thriceAccursed responds:

thanks mate. i actually did just that (the thumbnail bit) already XD
glad to know it plays well! being all stiff and turnbased and so -- many opportunities to screw something off... i'm happy doing pixelart but struggle with the brainwork lol.
cheers :)

[Cerulean the Llurunoid: INDEV]

Good stuff, i think that played very well. I assume this is in early development as there are no enemies and the background is always the same. But it shows a lot of promise. It was fun to play.

My only feedback would be to keep the pixel size consistent. The character and background have a massive difference.

Also to try to get the game a unique look. Right now it reminds me a lot of Super Mario with the block graphics.

BestBeansie responds:

The game's art style is meant to be pixelated. You don't want to see the sprites i originally drew.

[BLOODTHIRSTY (ALPHA)]

Great atmosphere. Very promising so far.

[Jumping Himari]

I made it to level 12, after that i think I'm done.
It is a simple idea and it works, but it wasn't very fun to play for me. A lot of trial and error.

The sound when a level is completed is annoying. I turned sound off.
The medals starting with 100 is VERY over the top.

raphaelcarrard responds:

now, i update the medals to make them accessible and easy to achieve.

[Mage Tower Massacre]

That was a lot of fun. Tricky to master but very addictive gameplay!

squid-lawyer responds:

glad you liked it!

[Father's Banquet]

Very intriguing and creepy game. Fun to play. Liked it a lot.

[Xspam]

That was really good. A lot of fun. Great variety of power ups and enemies.

The only thing i would have liked is for some different levels. Something to aim for other than the highscore. The platform placement could change after a certain amount of time or after getting a certain score.

[2D Cube]

Nice to see a new game from you. I really like the concept of it but it is way too hard and frustrating to be fun. It is very unforgiving as the hitbox is so large. The slightest touch gets you killed. It is very unfair.

There are some bugs where the player tends to get stuck a lot on the floor and the turrets. Causing deaths.

Playing as a box isn't very exciting. You have the hidden dude added so why not use him? And there is no ending. No reward for all that frustration.

raphaelcarrard responds:

I put the hidden little boy as an easter egg just for fun (you can use this secret code in any stage and even when you die and turn back into a cube.)

I apologize if I left you frustrated or if I made you waste time trying to get to the next level, but I wanted to make a challenging game and not a game with bugs or problems that some people are talking about :( There are some stages where I configured the collision of the platforms to make them difficult, that's why people complain that the game has bad controls.

[Crazy Slime! [w.i.p. | Alpha0.1]]

Good stuff so far.
(The music is a bit off, doesn't really fit the game.)

[Rat Wrap]

Great stuff. Tricky but a lot of fun.
