[Throw Rocks At Shit GOTY Edition]

"If you're gonna dump on people the kind of the steaming, stinking, smelling dump that your kind traffics in, at least stand by your dump."

[Stupid House]

Liked the ambientation and the puzzles
And thanks - really, THANKS - for not throwin' in that cheap jumpscares. That's not funny, seriously.

And, if you allow me a bit of constructive criticism, I was reading the answer you gave to Soullock down below about hearing impairing and sound. You said basically "Yeah, my game have problems of acessibillity, but you can see other games have too". We're talking about YOUR game here. It's about you adressing the issue, the others athe others. So, if you want this unasked advice: be the one who defines what your game is, not the games or genres or whatever that may inspired it. ;)

Keep up the good job.

tRipGlyPh responds:

Thanks for your feedback!

Soullock touched theme of "any modern Point-n-Click games" and I gave an example of some non-modern games with similar mechanics. That's all.

About my game:

Probably I should have made a custom option to "facilitate sound riddles" or written a warning about the presence of musical puzzles in the introduction...

Anyway, I'll keep that in mind. Sorry.

[Hanukkah Runner]

This game thinks outside the box. Just a runner, normally without an end, now have an objective: go there, grab thing, go back.

Nice.

KJScott responds:

Heh, yeah given the objective it wouldn't have ever have been an endless runner. The game play was kept simple as I had enough time to implement two of the three major areas, graphics, gameplay, and audio. I happened to choose graphics and audio as the primary areas to focus on.

[Kitty in the City]

Damn, it's cute :3

There's a lot of room to improve, of course. The platforms are kinda weird, steps are individual platforms from where I can fall from. The graphics and colors made a little difficult for me figure out at first which buildings are steppable on the roof and those that don't.
And the kitten could have some more animations.

But other than that, the cuteness is too damn high!!1

[Save the Princess Gayme!]

This is so cute <3

[Breakout]

A different approach on Lemmings, of course, but a pleasant one to play! So why not?

[Ketris]

Well made tetris, quality level build.

But you just enraged the gods of the internet when you defiled it's sacred cute animals by giving them those gruesome deaths.

You have been cursed, and soon a cat will push you and your game off from the edge of the flat earth.

[TEXT 'N' DRIVE]

Nice game, nice mechanics, nice message. Very original.

Very punishing.
I drove a good distance ignoring completely the phone, just being a good and responsible driver. Then I was hit by an car coming the wrong way and died.
Now my kid is an orphan.

1 in 4 accidents are caused by texting while driving.
Others are caused by rogue drivers in wrong way.
My family is sad.

[Path Maker]

This damn game is flawless!
The mechanics are fun, the difficulty curve is also nice, and I also like how some blocks end getting new uses. For instance, the TNT block: it's used for breaking walls, also harm the player, and keep exploding forever. Later in the game, the block is used as platform, but the player can't stand in it forever due to the same perpetual exploding. Genius!

[Erebos]

Nice controls, nice story, and thanks, thanks, THANKS for not putting a jumpscare on it. I hate jumpscares.
