[Bleek]

Excellent game!
Very unique and charming take on the horde survival genre.
The graphics and music were very good, and the gameplay was fun and had lots of variety.
I liked that the game featured a horror atmosphere while still having an arcade style of gameplay!
(This makes me think that a full-blown horror game with a score attack style would be interesting as well! (Portaboy+ by LumpyTouch comes to mind!))
Overall you did an amazing job with this game, nice work!

FodderLabs responds:

Thanks for playing!

And thank you for the kind words! We are happy to see all our hard work bearing satisfying results! :D (Hard at working adding more content + gameplay!)

And we are glad to have been able to upload this right before Halloween! (Been wanting to release a spooky/ Halloween themed game for years!)

Oh man, it is an honor to be compared to LumpyTouch! We hope we can make art at that level some day! :D And the game was fun too! An interesting take on a score/ horror game! (I wonder if there are any other games they have cooking!)

Thank you very much for your response! :)

[Boo! Bark!]

Very nice game!
The dash mechanic is very fun to use, and the enemy variety is great.
My only issue with the game is that it doesn't tell you your final score when you die.
(Also a scoreboard would be cool, but not super important)
Overall this game is really fun and polished, great job!

[Descend]

Super simple, but super difficult. Great for passing the time!
The music gets a bit annoying after playing for a while, though.

Overall, the concept is interesting and it kept me entertained for a while. Nice job!

[Tall Tales Blanj 3]

Nice little game!
All the bosses were super cool and reminded me of old-school Kirby games!
Although I need to mention that the platforming/puzzle segments had some issues.
Sometimes the player character gets stuck on platforms, sometimes the player character gets teleported downwards or upwards at random times, and I could walk through the brown doors without solving the puzzles.
Overall I had a good time playing the game, but it had some annoying bugs that should be fixed.
This series has some serious potential, and I'm excited to see it improve in the future!

BlizzyDoris responds:

Thanks man! The puzzle part could be glitchy cuz that part took me the longest to work on. Overall thanks for your feedback! :) I actually might do something big with Blanj in the future...

[Lunar Worm]

Cute and fun little game! The graphics were really nice and I enjoyed the fast paced gameplay.
My only issue with it was the controls. Sometimes controlling the worm felt strangely awkward and sticky. I think this may have something to do with how the different tiles work, so it would have been nice to have a "how to play" screen that explains them. I would appreciate WASD support as well!
Overall a very charming game with a couple tiny issues. Good job!

[Pimbo's Pudding Panic]

Nice little game! I enjoyed the high speed, it was very adrenaline pumping!
My only issue with it is that it's incredibly short, with little replay value. I would suggest adding more levels and maybe even a timer for speedruns!

[Fat Fish Aquarium]

Fun and atmospheric take on the clicker/incremental genre! The graphics and music were excellent.
My only issues were that it was pretty tedious towards the end, and that the medals/achievements didn't work properly. I finished the game and I didn't get the medal for buying the Fattest Fish or the medal for beating the game.
Issues aside, I definitely enjoyed building a fat fish empire!
Good job!

[SQUADADDLE]

Really good game! The controls are pretty uncomfortable on keyboard, but playing on controller using a program like Antimicro or Joy2Key works incredibly well. Built-in controller support would be nice!

The wall crawling mechanic is very useful, but it can be frustrating when you have to re-wire your brain to hold shift and use up/down on the spot. (Not a big issue, mostly a lack of skill on my part)

Probably my favourite feature of the game is the long jump! I found it really fun to use.

kaiakairos responds:

tbf this game was always destined to be played with a controller, but I was struggling to implement controller support in html5 (and later ended up forgetting about it entirely for the desktop build)
I'm glad you got something working for it though, even if its a bit janky.
I'm probably not going to update this game anymore as I'm working on different stuff now, but if anybody else absolutely needs controller support, listen to this guy.

[Down Hole]

Fun gameplay and snazzy graphics! It has really satisfying sound design as well.
My only issue is that it didn't load for me on mobile, it was only a red screen.
It played perfectly fine on PC though!

PeterMilko responds:

Try waiting longer, the red is a loading screen. What device do you have? You can also download it on itch.io if you want better perfomance on pc and custom resolution.

[Cannonballin']

Super fun game! Loved the visuals and overall atmosphere.
My high score was 31 so I saw the secret!
