Have you found some extraordinarily good games?
Whats extraordinarily good? Well either a unique concept that catches attention immediately or amazing polish on effects or world building or game mechanics. Or the game is just so fun you felt like a kid again and couldnt stop playing (no matter the polish and graphics).

My first picks goes to (in not really a particular order):
1. Topple Keep (was really fun and I went into tunnel hard-trying mode)

2. Medival Motor Club (great game and feel of the driving and the world, unfortunetly not good weapon handling)

3. Folded Keep (Incredibly satisfying folding pages mechanic, best I can remember ever seen)

4. Drawbridge (first 30 seconds are hilariously comical, unfortunately no long term motivation for me)

5. Sir Falls-A-Lot overall best artistic design in the jam

What about you?

Hello!

Topple Keep creator here, thanks for the mention :)

Would love to get your feedback on the game as I'm building the roadmap for further development after the jam.

Thank you!

Thanks for mentioning my game, Sir Falls-A-Lot. I have a clear vision for my games, and I’m really glad you highlighted the artistic side. Your comments were spot on with what I’m aiming for.

Unfortunately, I found out about the jam at the last minute. I woke up at 3 a.m . and heard about it. A game idea took over my brain, and within five minutes, I had the concept ready.

The whole game was rushed. I wanted to spend more time balancing it and refining the controls, but I could only work on it outside my working hours, and the timing was more than bad thanks to different timezones. I had one morning before work and under two hours after work. The entire game was made maybe in three hours. It was so rushed that I didn't even check the title with the Google first...I should have. I want to create something with an original title.

Game jams are the perfect cure for my perfectionism. I have to let go. Finished, but unfinished...

Honest self-nom, so weigh it how you like: Hollow Castle. You're the flood. You pull a terraced town down one home at a time to raise your own tower, and whatever side you keep taking from, the tower remembers, so how you build is how you fall. The water hides its final height, which makes restraint a gamble and not a solve. One tap, portrait, about 75 seconds, it's in the entries. I'd genuinely like to know where it turns for you.

I tried it, but it was nothing special, just hard to understand the game concept as nothing is explained in game, only as text.
The art doesn't stand out, the game concept itself is not really interesting (might be new) to me. The best games hook people into the game loop with something special or unexpected. I didnt find this in Hollow Castle.

Clicking wildly made me look like I do progress, but nothing warns me that I am just about to lose for not playing it correctly.

Correct me if Im wrong anywhere please.

Thanks for actually playing it and saying the hard part. You're right on all three, and the middle one is the one that stings. "Clicking wildly made me look like I do progress" is the exact flaw, and you're the third reader to hit it from a different angle. Wild clicks really do raise floors, so it reads as progress, while the lean builds toward a collapse you cannot see coming. The HUD shows the water's next move but not your own tower's. That is the hole: the thing that ends you is the only thing with no gauge. "Nothing explained in game, only as text" is fair. The title card is the whole tutorial, and that costs me every player who taps before reading. In-world teaching is on the list. That the concept does not land for you is taste, no argument from me. One correction, to my numbers and not your read: I had been telling people it was about 75 seconds. It is 31. I fixed the store page tonight after another reader caught the same lie. The gap was mine, not yours. Thanks for the honesty over a polite "nice game."

I am am always direct and not personal with my feedback, it helps nobody to stay silent and leave a hard to play game behind. Good luck to you.

Self nominating as well, with Castling Rights. Not so much as considering it a gem but a fun twist on the theme. Mostly I'd like to hear your feedback on it

Hey, if you get a chance, I'd love to know what you thought of Echoes of Caer Veyr too. Any honest feedback is welcome.
