OVERVIEW - Torrlund
A pretty intresting game with intresting mechanics. I feel the gameplay kind of got repetitive, and the end was super easy to reach (it
took me only like 15mins). I never saw any monsters in the game, so I'm not sure what went wrong there. The robot was pretty nice.
Anyways, I think it would help out the game a lot, if there was more stuff to do.

OVERVIEW - Klots
This game was tons of fun to play! Very comparable to how I enjoyed slide space!
Some of the mechanics in this game amaze me that they're even possible in Minetest!
Great job Warr!

OVERVIEW - Slide Space
Once again, MisterE has probably made my favourite game jam submission.
This game is really satisfying, and is a mind-boggler. This game is very fun, and
makes you want to come back for more.
Once again, great job MisterE!

OVERVIEW - Space Club (based on 30mins+ of gameplay time)
Space Club is an intresting game, but, I feel it's biggest downfall is it's lack of sounds, and not being very
player-friendly. I think if these things were improved on, it would be a better game.
I was pretty lost while playing this game, after like 20mins I did start to sort of get the hang of it I guess.
Also, you can just destroy and come out of your spacecraft, and if you do, you don't die. Which seems a bit weird.
Anyways, I'd consider trying this game out again post Game Jam, I'd be intrested if there are some future updates
to gameplay/goals.

Hey! Thanks for the nice review. Once the voting period is done for the Game Jam, I plan on adding much more to this game, with an ending in mind, and more to explore. Hmm yes, the spider are pretty dificult, in the future I'll have to add some weapons.
Anyways, thanks for playing! I hope you've enjoyed the game so far, and hopefully will continue to play once more updates come!
Thanks for the review! Yes my mod is just a fork of Xbows, I liked Xbows a lot, but I just wanted the normal bow aspect of it. I'll have to see about fixing the animalia problem.
Well first off I'm more of a type that would like MTG to be kept, becuase:
1. There are already so many mods made for MTG
2. I definantly agree it can get boring pretty quickly, but, I think we need to focus on getting people to know you can easily add mods, so maybe adding little tutorial sorta pointer things, that give you a heads up on adding mods, or trying out new games.
3. I'm not one of them, but there are people who don't like mobs or don't like hunger etc. which is not included in MTG, so people like that.
4. And what's the solution? I'm open to peoples ideas, but I'm not a huge fan of the idea where the only game is Dev Test, and it tells you to download a playable game.
So like I said that's my opinoin, and I'm open to others ideas, of how this "problem" could be "fixed"
As of right now this game isn't playable in multiplayer, if that's something you'd like, I might add multiplayer support in the future!
Thanks,

Great job talas!
Positive reviews are based on if the overall is above 20 and the gamplay is above 5.
My rating system didn't turn out to well, so that's why stuff can get great, but be down rated. If we ever do something like this again, I gotta make a new system.
This game was pretty hard to understand. I'm not a huge puzzle player, so bear with me.
I think a, in game tutorial would be awesome, including explaining the goal and such.
The game also lacked music and sounds too. Please add music, I think it would make the game a lot better.
Thanks for participating!

Parkour was pretty awesome, but it really lacked music, and didn't even say how to restart. Luckily someone told me how to restart the level, but this should be the most important thing for a tutorial. Maybe add a message when you first join, saying how to restart, or when you touch the floor you restart.
Hope you can fix/add this things, and I hope for more levels in the future!

Not much was going on in this game, I think it might be kind of fun if you could add a few things: maybe add new maps, add a timer for 1 minute (or 30s), and each time you get one right, you get 3 points, when you get one wrong, you lose a point, then after the timer goes off, it shows you your score, and your highscore.

I love this!! This deserves first place I think. I really enjoyed playing this, I think the only way this could be improved, is by adding a better tutorial system. Like Zughy said, every thing was really clumped up in the inventory, and I didn't even know what the objective of the game was, until I played it a few times.
I loved that interface! The animation was so awesome, and the minimizing effect!
Great job!

The game concept is really cool, but it's so glitchy and buggy, that's it's not really playable.
The editor also lacks a tutorial, and if you break the floor and accidently fall in, it's over, you have to make a new world.
I'm not sure if it's even possible to make a game like this in Minetest, but hopefully you can polish it up a bit.
Thanks for participating in the game jam!
Thanks so much for the nice review!
Yes there is a lot to improve, yeah that's a great idea to implement multiple textures to break stuff up.
If I could figure out how to add prison cells and such, I'll definanalty do that.
Yeah the campaign would be a good idea, I plan on adding differnt styles in the future; haunted house, mineshaft, dungeon, etc.
I tried adding guns, but feel into problems, I'll take a differnent approarch at that and try to add that.

Subway Miner was a nice submission for the Game Jam, very polished and amazing that you could make a runner game in Minetest. Good Job.
But I feel like it was kind of missing something, maybe some scenery? Better textures, louder mese sounds? I didn't feel like the music fitted very well. A new slide animation? New and more random level gen? I didn't even know how to slide right away, maybe just add some hints at the biginning?
Anyways, good job!
