Sonic the Hedgehog Top Golf really captures the essence of the series, where you do one minor input and the scripted events and bumpers take care of everything else.

Currently about halfway through replaying Final Fantasy VII Remake. This is without a doubt the absolute worst aspect of this game:

10 minutes into the boss fight:

The boss's health if you just unga-bunga mash Attack without bothering to learn the combat mechanics:
[A green health bar that is roughly 70% full]

The boss's health if you strategically plan out your attack and build the stagger gauge with careful ability usage
[A gray health bar with a red No circle in the center roughly 66% full]
"Invincible during cutscene"

Throwing Mass at the Problem by SuboptimalSpace suboptimalspace.itch.io/throwing-mas... Sort of a combination puzzle game and basic building sim. You need to get two types of propellant to the launch pad in order to fire missiles at an asteroid. A bit clunky, but interesting idea. #GMTKJam

Heart Platformer by Corinth sainitya.itch.io/heart-platfo... Just taking a tutorial and following it to make a game. I suppose that's one way to do it. There's nothing objectionable about it, just not a whole lot here. #GMTKJam

The Count Down by Sam studio-studio-studio.itch.io/the-count-down You are a girl who can see how much time everyone else has left, and it's your task to bring that number to 0. Very edgelordy, but excellently done for how short it is.

Explodables by triez triez.itch.io/explodables Certainly lives up to its name. The mountain king aesthetic is appealing to me, and this has a lot of potential if the controls were a bit tighter and more responsive.

Newsroom by Clem Edwards clemgames.itch.io/newsroom Okay, this is actually super cute. It's a game where you arrange news articles based on their quality, and then they are read live on the air in an FMV segment, filmed by the developer themselves. Really fun concept, if unfortunately very buggy.

Space Pests by ronkakua123 itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam... Solid foundation for a shooter game, tbh. Sounds are clear and shooting feels satisfying. I wanted it to be longer, which is always a good sign.

I'll Be There in a Minute by Unidumbo unidumbo.itch.io/ill-be-there... Grab your clothes and relevant belongings in 60 seconds before leaving the house. It's relatable if nothing else. But requires a lot of trial and error, as your belongings are not in the most obvious places.

Breathe by Zazzles the Jester zazzlesthejester.itch.io/breathe We've had "This meeting could have been an email" so how about "This game could have been a gif" Hold space when circle grows, release when it shrinks. Virtually no player feedback for correct timing. If you fail, the counter resets.

Life Support Lite by Redstoneworker redstoneworker.itch.io/life-support... There's a solid foundation here, but it definitely needs a lot of work. Probably the best improvement would be to make the journeys outside into a separate game mode that allows you to actively collect resources.

Quicktime Countdown by carbonicality carbonicality.itch.io/quicktime-co... This feels more like one of those online "See how fast you can click the mouse" reaction tests than a game, but it's decently-enough coded and does its job well enough. I scored a 23.

The Reclamation of Father Time by Valivator itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam... A simple little roguelike platformer, with some deckbuilding elements where you choose what sort of obstacles spawn on the increasing platforms. I feel like I've never played anything like this, and yet understand it completely.

Long Shot Lazarus by Robozero robozero.itch.io/long-shot-la... This one took a little bit to understand, but it's pretty unique. You have limited ammo and enemies only drop it very infrequently, so you have to line up your shots to hit as many as possible at once. Really fun idea.

Countdown Heist by Adaept adaept.itch.io/countdown-he... Hotline Miami but bad. The crucial flaw here is the controls: WASD moves your character with RELATIVE MOVEMENT. So W always moves forward, D always strafes right, etc. with the mouse being used to turn. It's exactly as awkward as it sounds.
