[O Mighty Snakedragon]

A fun little game, I especially enjoyed trying to find each of the endings. Though for such a cozy game I do find the choice to basically have no "good" ending very interesting. Not bad, but peculiar for sure, I'd love to hear the reasoning behind that.

CeliaBode responds:

Thank you! The main reason behind not having a "good" ending it's because we liked the contrast between the cuteness in the game and the endings. I don't know, we just found it funny and thought people might like it!
Also, after deciding it, we realized it was a good incentive to play the game again. In the original version we didn't have a message at the end that said how many endings the game had. So if people played it and got a bad ending, we thought that they might want to try again and find a good one.

A fun little project, but honestly I think you could have gone farther with some of the mechanics. It seems like some neat new challenges are added but then go away pretty quickly.

[Space Thread]

A very clever game. Takes a try or two to really get what's going on, but once you figure it out it's a delight to play.

[Super Auto Pets]

It's fun, but feels so unbalanced some times, especially with critical hits.

[As one against our end]

Surprisingly good! Would love to see this fleshed out with more characters and more enemy types.

Hey thanks for playing :)
Unfortunately I have no plans on fleshing out this game, it's already in a state I like!

[Until There Was Nothing]

Did not see the twist coming, loved it.

[Rat Game: Roaming of the Wretched Rat]

The style is great and the building blocks are solid, but it's just too shallow in terms of the gameplay itself. In the few playthroughs I've completed Arcane is basically unless you are playing the wizard since magic drops are so rare, your slots are so limited that your strategy should probably just be weapon and shield, and the game is so linear that it can often feel like it's just playing itself. I'm a big sucker for rogue-likes and the "grim rat" aesthetic's got a lot of potential, but I feel like this game needs more work to really bring it to life.

[NextDoor]

A great adaption of an awesome Junji Ito story! Good stuff!

Sijbren responds:

Thank you :D

[A Game of Cups]

Good stuff! Banished to the white void for my cup hubris, 10/10 would do it again, release me from this prison.

[SweetCrush]

I was skeptical of this game considering the clear inspirations, but for what it is I had a really solid time with it! Good stuff, keep it up!
