M-made is 72 hours? Super impressive! It's a very simple game, but I love the graphics and ideas! Nice work!

[Pad of Time]

Booted it up, loved the graphics and the style- the tutorial showed some interesting promise- but it fell apart for me with the level design and story ^_^'

Dropped into the game with 'This guy made a cool invention! Let's try it out! Go find a none descript item or some sorta thing to do!'

I kinda shrugged it off, then proceeded to wander aimlessly- unsure if I was going the right direction or even if I was in the right time zone.

Then I started attacking the enemies- it's a little janky but I could make do... it just felt kinda weird spawning into a new area with the time travel mechanic then just killing everything in sight before wondering if I was in the right time zone.

But maaan- I love the style and it doesn't play terribly, it's missing a little polish here and there. It just feels like it needs more of a goal/ story- along with some changes to level design.

"Mark created a time device, the device broke creating time warps. Find the broken pieces"

That would give a bit of a goal, replace the time mechanic with a simple 'Go through a portal to end up in a different time'- that'll remove the guesswork. Possibly simplify the level out so it doesn't feel like we're exploring a maze.

But hey, that's just some of the stuff I was hoping for ^_^' It might just not be my kinda game. It's hard to make a game and I really like the design of it- hope things go well for ya'll!

I loved it! Awesome work dude :P A little bit of an awkward ending but I can understand that it's a Jam- super fun stuff :P

[Archery Run]

It was alright, but the aiming and jump mechanics felt a little clunky. Thought the slow motion was cool at first before realising it pretty much stops you mid-air- it also doesn't really make sense to do it in midair because you need to wait for the aim thing to line up.

So- kinda fought the mechanics a little by tapping to jump then double tapping to fire. Think there's some improvements to be made but for a game jam it's pretty good!

[Yemita]

It was pretty good, slowly became more and more frustrating as the camera starts flipping out of control at every collision and you can't slow down at all to be like 'Hm, how do I get up there?'

But it has a good style, nice soundtrack and it had some fun to it smashing stuff :P

[Isolation Station Annihilation]

Pretty good xD Feeling pretty lucky, everyone seems to of had issues with it but I rushed through and got out on my first go/ first attempt. Didn't know you could attack the monsters, I just followed the flashing lights then the escape route.

Really liked the mechanics-! Super weird way to move, nicely done!

[Interview Simulator]

Yeahhhh- no, totally got some people to vote it to front page. Theres no end- lasts 5 seconds- ehh

[Aquacreep]

Man- this seemed pretty cool and I can see the hardwork put into it but I ran into a few problems during the playthrough- there were also a couple of things that bugged me a little ;P

Major issues are with dieing, I shot the creature when it was super close- instantly died. On re spawning I went back- thinking the creature was randomized- decided to talk to people again- then was suddenly attacked and killed.

After another respawn, I went back- shot the creature until it ran- did the blood samples then went to shoot the suspect. He walked a little too close to me when I clicked so I insta died, respawned with very little ammo. So- I went back, shot him till I ran out- noticed some more in the room then got a couple more shots in before it left.

A little buggy with the deaths, and I feel like I bumped into some things before I should of but it was fine as the game was getting interesting. Microscope is gone- so- being that I was super suspicious of the black guy who wasn't saying anything, who was also the only one in the lab with access to the microscope at the time and the one I couldn't get blood samples from- I quickly turned on the AC. Looking close- I couldn't see any breathing from either character. Was a little unsure- but I didn't have many bullets so I decided to leave- only to have the guy I suspected suddenly attack me. Then there was a black screen that I couldn't get out of O_O

Didn't want to restart and go through it again, there's a lot of things that could be improved on but it shows some potential. Reminds me of the visitor quite a bit ;P Would be nice to have the survivors randomized and such ;P
