[Kalikan]

I really like this. It's obviously a saturated genre so some of the things you've added make it fresh. I especially like the visual indicators of damage, like where the tank armor falls off. Also I like the hold option for the weapons, like the lil' tornado drone that fires in place for the helicopter. Great game!

[Orderless: New Skies]

Very nice battle mechanics. I think for a demo, having a few more attacks available would be nice to explore.

[Frozen Helm]

When you get a Helm, it sounds like you are playing some Amon Amarth (which would be fitting)

Extar responds:

That *is* some Amon Amarth you're hearing. The helm jingle is the main riff from Twilight of the Thunder God. The rest of the music is based on Guardians of Asgard. \m/

[Space Harvester]

Dig it. A little hard to see those hexes coming at you, but I guess that just means slow down.

[Cards with Personalities Classic]

Great game mechanics. My only complaint is the Pico controls themselves, something you have no control over.

[Into Ruins]

l love this rogue-like. I especially appreciate the isometric view. It reminds me of the Immortal on NES from years ago. I know that Pico 8 limits your controls, but the aiming mechanism for using staffs and throwing items should be refined.

[Towerland]

It's ok, graphics and gameplay are quite generic. Music and the boss animations are nice.

[Ascension]

Solid gameplay, challenging, reminds me of old 8-bit NES games. It's a tad repetitive to keep me going after level 4 or 5. Are there bosses?

[Temple of Kashteki]

Great lil platform game. Reminds me of the simplicity and enjoyment of NES games. Well done sir/maam. Any intention of releasing your spritesheets so that others might build off of this? The character scale and animation are perfect for a gaming idea I have.

SECURAS responds:

I'm making an extended version of this game so I can't release the art.

[STARLINE HORIZON]

I really dig this. Reminds me of StarFox
