[Die for the Lich - web demo]

Hey so, I wanna ask now, how the hell is the daily score calculated? There's no counter during the game, and it's never explained anywhere. Does health remaining count? Is there a 1hp bonus? What about coins, should I keep or spend for the best score? Or do I go for enemy tiles and that gives more points, or does it not matter and I shouldn't bother? Is there some huge algorythm that checks how frigin' sick your run is, and the math is so complicated no mortal can comprehend it, not even the devs? I thought my run where I came into and killed the final boss all on 1hp was preety hype, but apperantly not as hype as the runs of 11 other randos. But why not? What rules are written here?

MadNukin responds:

Currently we are trying to experiment with minimum information on the player's end, but I understand that we should rethink that.
Also this was a fun comment to read none the less 5/5.

[Cronela's Mansion GBC - Demo]

Clunky, confusing, boring. two and a half stars.

ps. There are better ways to make a mouse cursor system if your players are gonna use a mouse and keyboard...

[NUTBREAKER: THE GAME]

Okay, so here are a few questions:
Where are all my items going whernever I press restart?
Where's that 10 free health I was promised with each parry?
Why is the game framing itself as fast and awsomez when the boss is invincable for 95% of the fight and I can't actaully do any cool awsome moves becouse they do no damage?
WHat the actual FUCK mate. I am not replaying this whole thing again just to get back my med pills + sandwich, just cause they vanished forever to the shadow realm after I clicked restart once. No. Piss off with all this.

ChalTheChalk responds:

First, chill. Second, i apologize for some inconsistency with some of the game's mechanics like the 10 free health with each parry, i will look into these as soon as possible to prevent anymore inconvenience. Again, sorry!

[Tiny Dangerous Dungeons Remake DEMO]

Hey, I jumped over the final boss's spawn trigger, nice.

[Cold]

Okay, this game is mislabeled. This ain't an idle game, it's a puzzle game. A puzzle, on what the HELL just happend. Becouse nothing happend.

Just 5 clicks a second for 10 minutes stragitht is enough to keep the man alive, any more than that lets you do so comfortably, and that isn't a hard number of clicks to anchieve. And while you're keeping the man alive, nothing else is happening. Yer just clickin'. There's the sound of the snowstorm, your clicks if you want to, and the day/night cycle gif in the BG. Nothing else happens, or changes. This is like, a bad game. The ending isn't satysfying, and the gameplay not fun at all. Repetitive and shallow.

But then the puzzle comes in, because this is on NG, the site where games where nothing happens and you're just wasting the player's time can get really easily blammed. And yet this one didn't. Then, it got on the best daily posts thing. 3rd place out of 5. This beat out Super Turbo Power Punch Maxed, which is an awsome series, by 2 places on the podium. That decision was made by people who are like, super qualified to make these sortsa decisions (at least I think that's right), clearly Squire Thomas Fulpous saw something about this game. So much so that it got fugin frontpaged a day later. Super Turbo Power Punch Maxed didn't. An animation that was rated above this game in the daily ranking, also didn't. But this... thing... did.

That's like, the one thing you think about while playing. One of the 2. Eighter you're wondering what the hell this is and how it made it past all those quality checks, or are curious if something's gonna jumpscare you. Never does. Timer ends, storm ends, thas it. There is no more to the game, at all, ever. No difficulity increse, no alt mode, skin, no diffrent endings... right?

Like, maybe there IS some big secret that reveals an awsome massive thing. Maybe if I turn the volume up high enough and type G-O-O-S-E on my keyboard, I'll hear a wendigo whisper some input combo that unlocks a secret. Maybe if I play again a few times, I'll unlock Luigi. Maybe you're pulling a fnaf pizzaria simulator style fakeout, and I just missed it, along with every last person in this 4 page comment section, while everyone who didn't comment did actually find it and had fun, and this is just some statistical clusterfuck.
Regardless, I want anwsers, because this all doesn't add up. Please?

[Get in Santa's Pants 3: Knickerless for St. Nicholas]

You know, I haven't actaully played a second of this game, and I don't feel like playing a horny game right now, but I seriously just read the title and assumed it meant "get in Santa's pants" as in, become Sansa, run his workshop, walk a mile in Snata's shoes. Absoultely did not consider any lewd meaning until I saw the starting warning.

I feel that it's very important for you to know this.
Very important, see.

[Paper U.F.O.]

Ah, a moment! I have bugs to report!
10-2 has a stupidly short timer. Not sure if it's a bug, but it seems so strict compared to all other levels in the game
5-3, on the other hand, doesn't have a timer. It's running in the background as I write this, it's been running for a minute straight, and the clock hasn't moved. *scrolls up* Nope, still not movin'.
Descruption: The controls section of the description you wrote, not in the game but on NG, deosn't tell you you can beammeup with left click. Would be nice to know, since the after-level menu requires the mouse, so playing with it as well seems like a nice option to be aware of. You can also move with the arrow keys, but that seems preety obvious. And e and esc for pausing, that's not mentioned at all. Damn.

And also, should probably say, this is a sick game despite these few things. Fast which I like, and not very difficult, you get each level after a few tries.

And also also, I made a level! Hard one I think.

[Five Nights At Turbos]

Okay soo... fnaf three remake but budget. Springtrap is Turno, Phantom Freddy is Polly, Phantom BB is Benji, and Phantom Marionette is Ricky.
Except Polly still is fully aggressive while you browse cams, normally they ain't that fast;
Benji's fine, generous with how much time they give you but alright;
Ricky I can't figure out how you get rid of, but they only show up once a night and generally near the start;
And Turbo is all kinds of busted! When reaching cam 4, they get stuck staring at the final wall, taking a smoke break supposedly and not moving up at all. Tried even calling them to cam5 with the audio, it MAY have done something but I still didn't die;
Speaking of the audio lure, it never breaks, but instead has a long cooldown of (infinity + 1) seconds, but that's alright, since you can use it even when it's cooling, so effectively you can jut spam cam1 and win... but why do that, when Turbo doesn't kill ya anyway?

Also yeah, no visable timer is a lil weird, and it takes a bit of clicking about to figure out where the cameras are.

PandaFnf responds:

Yes "On a budget" is a somewhat generous statement. You spam click Ricky 10 or more BEFORE he makes noise then he goes away. Wait he doesn't Kill you?!!! Damn it I swear I got this down let me go in and see what I Fricked up I'll DM you when I'm bakc THANKS SO MUCH fo the review!

[SpellWheel]

Oh that's fun. Thaaaaaaat's fun. Mate, how much ya planin' ta make this thing cost? If it's not too much, I might just buy it!
Like really, nothing to complain about here! Demo wasn't short, game was fun, nothing bugged out, all art looks good, music sounds nice... actually one thing, the keyboard controls are reversed by default with no way to change them. A and Q rotate right, D and E rotate left. Preety bad if ya need to quickly block an attack and go the wrong way... but mouse controls are more than good enough, even on laptops. So yeah sick!

adayofjoy responds:

A bit weird that the AQ/DE controls are inversed for you by default, should be AQ counter-clockwise, DE clockwise. But I'll prioritize keyboard rebindings in a future update!
I'm planning $5 with a launch discount for the game.

[Vox Regis]

I feel like, as the others said, this game would not be fun if ya weren't going for minimum score. You would just be pressing random buttons for some time with no stakes. But this, minimal speeches approach, is really fun, and kinda scary! Balancing on the edge of death and keeping an eye out on the data to strike the apropriate faction when they reach a number so close to max...

By the way, 8 speeches.
