the formula is great except.. why do we have to mine.. during the work day. why isn't it like.. serve customers in daylight, mine in the evening or something like that?

once you start falling behind, rent starts bumping up and ur screwed.

also the mining controls are weird.

theyippiesdev responds:

Thank you playing and taking time to give us feedback! we thought to innovate a little in the controls to make it challenging and yup the inflation of the rent is aggresive in these days 😅

saved up 70. accidentally tapped x as the shop came up, blew 35 of it. lost interest with an instantaneity that you could not understand.

[2-Bit Explorer]

really great atmosphere and art. i just have to nitpick that this is 1-bit color. not 2-bit.

a cool way to do 2-bit would be to have a bit for red and another for green. this would give you red, green, yellow, and black. you could also do red and blue which would give you red, blue, purple, and black, etc.

if you want white, you need many more bits to approximate it well.

seems of such high quality and i'd have given it a real shot if not for the movement/camera scheme.

there are some "retro" things that should remain in the past and were only ever a thing due to hardware/software limitations.

Jaxks responds:

As per rules to the game jam it had to be like this, the team didn't really like the limited movement and camera either but we ended up finishing it in time so thanks for rating it so highly for what it is!

[Wibby's Adventure]

this genuinely felt terrible to play. not at all difficult. simply badly designed.

[Homecoming]

is this even a game..?

Bleak-Creep responds:

"Homecoming is an interactive story"

[Lumera Numbera's PUZZLE POP]

was enjoying it. was annoyed that it's completely random what dice can be connected to what dice (it's not sequential. sometimes it allows you to just chain the same number repeatedly and sometimes not, sometimes it seems almost random)

but then a timer ran out?

i took a moment to laugh at the stupidity of that.

[Boxling's Garden]

not sure what the point of this game is. just plant stuff on the ground and harvest it forever?
