[CatsAndBees]

Some stuff to fix
1.
On Firefox the achievements don't work, I had to restart the game by going to another browser to get the achievements
2.
If you go in a perfectly straight line while drawing you don't lose ink, I abused this exploit to speed run the game.
3.
If you make a giant box around the cat or beehive, the bees can't touch the cat, the box may move the cat but if you make the box bigger and put the drawn box in another drawn box you can't be moved. Use the infinite ink glitch to make the second box.
4.
The more boxes you make within boxes, the more it confuses the bees ai, during 1 stage the bees went AWAY from my cat and STAYED in one spot.
5.
If you REALLY screw up the bees ai, they will leave the screen and once gone, they NEVER RETURN, THEY'RE BASICALLY DEAD AND CAN'T HARM YOU.

Aside from these bugs and exploits the game was very easy and fun to speed run, beat the game's 5 level achievement in 5m 48s.

planktonfun responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'll fix it right away

[Pipe Match]

I know this may sound stupid, but I have bad eyesight and I accidently move the wrong piece or more annoying thought I finished the puzzle only to realise I have a few more spaces and I take a good time searching for the misplaced tile.

> Idk if you stopped making updates but you are still updating, can you add some sort of indication if didn't touch a pipe and it is not connected to something. Like and an explanation mark (don't colour code because people maybe colour blind) it so people like me can see what we are doing without our vision messing us up.

Edit sorry bad grammar, tl;dr please make some indicator to tell if a pipe is in the wrong way, e.g., long pipes but they are not connected so they have a "!" to mean they are not connected.

Edit 2: REALLY good update, made it easier

sublevelgames responds:

Thanks for your feedback on usability. Rather than applying the solution you showed to the game right away, I have updated the solution to v0.0.6 that I think is more suitable for <Pipe Match>. The solution is to clearly show only the pipe tiles that are connected to the farthest pipe. Of course, making all the tiles go from blurry to clear doesn't mean you've cleared the stage.
Hope this solution helped you with your play. If you have any usability-related feedback, please do not hesitate to tell us! Thank you :)

[Escape From Monster Tower]

Like remember when you told me how to get the knight achievement?
Um how long does his journey go for?
10 minutes, 30, 1h?
I got the achievement but idk for how long I went afk.
I know it's a long time because it says I'm the 6th guy to unlock this but how long?

blit-blat responds:

I'll need to check exactly what I left it as, but I think it's abut 10 minutes. Go and put the kettle on!

[A Halloween Cat-Tastrophe]

The only reason why I am playing this game is because cat maid, nothing else.
I hate the game but cat maid

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

I know. Cat maid. Thank you!

[Pumpkin Smashing]

Cool game but just a few things, the background music is amazing but when you press the space bar it makes a pew sound, it gets really annoying after a while. You can spam space which is why I got 102 as my score because it was raining pumpkins.
If you could make a volume setting for the sounds or make more obstacles, a cool down for the space bar or even a punishment if you drop pumpkins into the void missing the gravestones that would be nice. Also, if you can tell me what the music is called, I want to listen to it if you can't can you put it as the menu theme?

Doctoredstudios responds:

The track was random track I found on freesound. I don't remember the name.

[Backrooms: Found World Chapter 1 (demo)]

Glitch found in beta: Dying to the black slime but pressing Z while dead causes crouch animation.

VessBackroom responds:

Oh. Thank you for prompting! In the next version, not only bugs will be fixed, but a new part 2 will be released! Thanks for the feedback!

[Pacman Doom]

Fun game but the delay when I press the arrow keys are the only bad thing about this game.
When I press up it took to long to register so I died.

Cyberdevil responds:

Ahh I wonder if the delay´s a hardware thing, or a new thing now that it's emulated, I don't recall it being a thing when I made this... thanks for the feedback!

[[BTNverse] The void rolls back]

IMPORTANT STUFF ABOUT GAME IS IN CAPS

Played the game and beat it first time (mainy thanks to rng) but that it mainly rng, the game is actual hard and needs a little practise before you can try and do a run or be lucky, because of the fact I did the game once, I noticed a few things: THE BOSS IS CHEESABLE, if you make a bridge that you can't access but the boss can, he will try to follow you so he will be closer to you but he can't reach you, the "ESCAPE INDICATOR" IS BAD IN MY OPINION, only when I noticed it in a different direction I realised where to go so please make it more clear as it can get confusing so something like "escape is this way" can help. If possible ARE YOU ABLE TO ADD SOMETHING IN THE DISCRIPTION THAT TELLS WHAT BLOCKS/ENEMY INFO DOES WHAT.

adriendittrick responds:

the funny thing is I kinda added the function of each block at the last second coz I ran out of time, some of them probably don't een work. Maybe I'll find some time to write this all down if I make a stable updated version.

[GreenWood Defense]

Too long didn't read: Stages 1-35 is stupidly easy with 1 max level chicken because it can survive and kill the boss but stage 50 is stupidly hard even with max upgrades and units, PLEASE MAKE A YOUTUBE TUTORIAL OR SOMETHING.

WTF IS THE GAINT FROG'S REACH AND DAMAGE, I bring out the strongest unit and it dies in 3 seconds WHILE NOT EVEN NEAR IT, not only that, it is more annoying thanks to the poison frogs, round 50 is annoying because everything that can kill you in 5 seconds is the only enemy there, it won't stop spawning, I even looked to the comments for help and it seems like they beat it before the plant nerf.
From experience stages 1-35 are WAY TO EASY, 35-41 feel slightly harder, 41-49 feels like a very fair fight like a very good challenge but 50 is BS LEVELS OF INSANITY, the first enemy just drains your units health and next is those "I am become death, destroyer of worlds" poison frogs NEED you to stun them but the plant unit just willingly walks into them and when the mushroom dies you might as well restart the final boss giant thing is just a walking bomb, the second it reaches the screen, all your units that somehow survived and do the most damage just die in 1-3 seconds, and the thing is, THE AREA FOR YOUR UNITS SURVIVAL DECREECES EACH SECOND IT WALKS. Not to mention the other enemies along with it.

Anyways that's the end of my rant for level 1-35 and 50. (still fun regardless because of good/fun mechanics so 4.5 stars)

Wombart responds:

Thank you for taking the time to provide detailed feedback!

I'm having a hard time balancing the game because each method I tried made it either too easy or too hard. I'm currently working on a big update that will add more enemies, more allies and more stages. I'll see what I can do to fix the balance issues at that time.

I'm glad you still had fun despite all these problems.

[My Father Sold My Soul for One Million Gold?!]

Great game but if you suck at luck (like me) you might as well admit defeat.
When ever a problem happens and I use the guy with the best stats for the job for some reason my rating goes down, I am unable to win because rng basically how you make money, variables get confusing, upgrades are expensive which make you ignore buying it in order to have enough money to pass week 5 but in order to make more money, you need to buy the upgrades...
When ever you need something, you sacrifice something VERY important and you die quickly, if you don't? You die. Besides those guys wages are insane, on Autumn I got the "not enough for wages" thing and they lose half their health. The frequent attacks and lack of paying costumers that drain your health is a lot. Please do something to help make money or maybe if you somehow don't use a character the entire game, you don't pay their wages?

Tl;dr GREAT game, AWFUL luck and mechanics makes it hard or more accurately IMPOSSIBLE to play.

Marckel responds:

I'm sorry that you've been unable to complete the game, however we've already nerfed the game enough as it is so we won't be making any more difficulty changes. Some tips I can suggest is to pay attention to when to turn on/off the Fireplace depending on the season, buy tavern upgrades whenever you get the chance, and not spend too much on leveling up characters. Having playtested the game multiple times I don't think luck is a key factor if you've made smart decisions.
