[Mini Switcher (Ver 1.0)]

Not too long, not too short, and challenging.
And this style is so cute! The scenery and the blob character bouncing, with the calm and funny music.

Can't find a flaw on this game. Well done.

[WIP]

I didn't. I couldn't.

[Locked Out - Home]

Nice puzzle game, challenging, fun, kept me entertained for the while I played.

The only complaining I have: it makes less sense than it should. I'm stuck outside my own house and it have a lot of weird mechanical systems a la Resident Evil 1 that I even have no idea about it and have to figure out?

Maybe these mechanics would fit better in some secret lab setting, even in a RE spoof.

Still, great game =)

[Tricky Cat]

Controls should be more tight. Seems like the cat is being move by applying forces, he/she's been accelerated. This makes a slippery cat. Sometimes I jump on a block and I fall on the other side cause the cat is deaccelerating, others I don't reach the block and fall cause I'm afraid of accelerate too much. Maybe you could try with other ways of moving the cat instead of applying forces. Or even using forces, but reducing the time between 0 and max speed for moving and max speed to 0 for stopping. This could make the movement more tight.

Other than this, the concept is awesome. Platform blocks that can be stepped only once. It's an ability platformer and a puzzle at the same time. Great idea. I wish I had it hahaha.

Good job!

[Seven Days in Purgatory]

This game is awesome! Also, I have a good computer so I played fullscreen with no lag.

I know you made this for a gamejam and it means no time for extra features, but I really wish it has

- SPOILER -

an option to replay days, so we can see what could happen if we made different decisions, like the one when the woman says the guy to come murdered her son, but his file is clean. I trusted the file and sent him to good place, and on the balance, a note said "you let him in". I don't want to replay all the game to day six to know what would happen if I trusted the woman and sent him to Satan's lap.

But I understand you can let the feature monster talk to you during a gamejam =)
Damn, I cannot make a game like this in a gamejam!

Good job, standing applause.

[How To GAME]

Made me smile ^^

[Is there Bread in the Sky ?]

Give that tweaking on the controls, some care on stage transitions (the stages and title screen transitions are messy) and it will be funny.

Dá aquela garibada nos controles, tipo pra controlar ele no ar, arruma as fases (tem a fase da casa, aí vai pra tela título, depois fica só no céu), enfim, passa um pano que vai ficar legal. A idéia é ótima. =)

E morreu.

[goodbye, doggy]

We don't deserve dogs. They're so better than us.

[The bystander]

I liked it all. The history on the papers, the relation with the events on the city and the conclusion - and the logic from the final being. What happened there, what are the relation with the current state of the people, and what I have to do with it all.

Also, I'm happy the drunky was spared too ^^

Solid 5 =)

Nirag responds:

Thank you very much!

[Hikari's Station]

This game is so cute! The interations are so happy. I know it's totally outside the reality, a girl taking selfies with a lot of strangers, but I kinda wish...

The last trip is kinda sad, when she's alone, but she also seems complete, like the day is worth. I like how she can sit on the benchs when she's alone.

Fucking awesome.
