[Mina Miner: Dig Deep!]

well this is a delight, fun gameplay, great soundtrack, cute art. This is something I'll have to come back to, uh, dig into some more

[Upstream]

well this is pleasant. I love the atmosphere and the simplicity of the goal, to just relax and catch some fish

This guy gets it B-)

[Rock Smasher]

I felt a cold sweat when I saw what lay within

[Ugby Mumba 3]

This feels like something I would have played the shit out of on my Game Boy as a kid. The music is a jam, and I love how the gunfire syncs up to the beat. Nice job also creating such a variety of levels. Dont let anyone tell you otherwise Mumba, youre beautiful to me *smooches forhead*

[Dead Estate Dressup]

this song bumps hard

[Nymble]

This is amazing stuff. Tried it on my PC earlier, but playing on the phone is where the magic is at. Once this is an app I can see myself supporting that for sure. There is already so much content here, Im definitely looking forward to digging in deeper. Oh, and the music is awesome

xalezar responds:

Wow—thanks for your comments! Yeah, I'm currently working on the iOS mobile release to get it ready in time to submit to the App Store for approval. The mobile version will include an additional 20 levels. ;)

(Also super glad you noticed the music! It's one of the reasons why I got into game development.)

[Bonkers]

Loving this, feels really smooth to play, the punching feels great to charge and aim with a controller especially. I like that the attacks are multipurpose, also serving as a double/triple jump. The music changing when you change the screen into the dark inverted version is an awesome touch. The animation and sound effects for hitting something are super satisfying. The extra juice of everything having some motion is always appreciated. This is just overall ridiculously solid and polished for a game jam, and you all have my respect
Edit: some light frame rate drops in the cave section, but nothing that ruins the experience

[Dead Estate CLASSIC]

This game caught me at a perfect moment while I needed a small break from playing Hades every night but still want some roguelike/dungeon crawling action
This is beyond well done, I cant get over how much I love the 3Dish graphics and the point of view. It feels so smooth to control, and the weapons and combat are nice and punchy. The extra juice of all the UI elements having some motion to them is just beautiful.
I was already enjoying the sound design and music, but then I noticed new layers coming in as I played and it pushed me over the edge.
The footsteps of something approaching were so well implemented that I ended up just sticking around to see what it was, needless to say that also ended the run. Overall this is really really good stuff and I will be back for some more attempts out of this mansion

[GUNWYRM]

Wow, Im in love with the aesthetic of this. The art and animations are awesome, down to the text and menus. The gameplay is a lot of fun too and it feels really fluid to control

Edit: after spending some more time, Im impressed with all the different upgrades you can get. Make this an expanded rougelike that I can sink my hours into and you have my money

[Duck Waddle]

this takes more planning than I thought it would be at first, but the ducks keep me going. Really good work, basically anything with ducks is ok with me
