HoloJam #5 Ultra Compact Reviews(Jam Theme: Corruption)
https://itch.io/jam/holojam-5/entries* marks download only games
>HOLOCON1999*https://qeian-tea.itch.io/holoconPapers Please clone but holo convention
Hitboxes are wonky, moderately glitchy and contains homos based on rule book but overall not bad for a clone, sound stuff could definitely be better and I didn't finish it tho
>A!SYMMETRYhttps://blastoisenn.itch.io/asymmetryBox pushing puzzle game
Pretty neat with the gimmick of flipping between two board states with limited amount of times you can flip, pretty good music but the visibility isn't the best, I suck at these games so I didn't get far either
>Fauna's Forest*https://itssalt.itch.io/faunas-forestClone of that old Slenderman game
Wide Fauna wants to make you Wide, Item hunt but you need to find items in order, stamina system for sprinting but no stamina meter, pretty spooky honestly, would make for a good short stream
>LAPLACE'S DEMON*https://prodbydeathwish.itch.io/laplaces-demonUndertale-like boss battle
REALLY cool graphics and BGM, I believe healing gets stronger each time you lose and it could use a few patterns more but great experience overall
>HoloAlterhttps://astrumrift.itch.io/holoaltAction dungeon crawler
Pretty easy and fun, works fine and even has boss battle but entire thing takes like five minutes
>RBC File Recovery 2025https://red-ward-studio.itch.io/rbc-file-recoveryRoguelite dungeon crawler
Pretty neat, sound effects are annoying and your goal is to kill all enemies on the map in limited amount of turns
>HoloManehttps://qhronoboros.itch.io/holomaneTamagochi with Kiara
Very busy game about not letting bars go down
>Operation Biboo Untaxedhttps://nunnun.itch.io/operation-biboo-untaxedTop down survival shooter
You barge into Justice headquarters and take no prisoners, there's no audio and I'm unsure how to open doors beyond killing everything that moves but in general it seems like okay prototype
>The Pearlless Knight's Perilhttps://dragon-in-a-hat.itch.io/the-pearlless-knights-perilTop down defence game
Summon allies to defend the king from stains, fun and has lots of different stages, has sudden difficulty spike later on and no saves tho
>Melnight*https://akaidaiya.itch.io/melnight3D JRPG
Game where you play as Mel with goal of stopping a rapist version of Mel, at least that's the idea, currently the game only has a polished cutscene and random encounters in single room implemented, one of best looking proofs of concept I have seen
>Hi, I'm Krotanahttps://alphros.itch.io/krotanaDesktop simulator
One of these desktop simulators where you have to stop viruses during stream, mostly a proof of concept with only two apps in it
>Gura's Grand Sekai Adventure*https://hananoumi.itch.io/grandsekaiRhythm game?
I think it's meant to be rhythm game? You can just spam all attack buttons at once though, the music is nice at least
>Shadows of Justicehttps://dukebr.itch.io/shadows-of-justiceAction platformer(no platforming)
Play as any of Justice members and defeat Advent members in fierce combat with high quality graphics! I highly recommend at least trying out Biboo stage
>Sapling Paradisehttps://pmarkowski.itch.io/sapling-paradiseIdle game?
You place trees to spawn saplings and place buildings to sate their needs, really small and basic game
>Gloom's Starry Nighthttps://sailor-ares.itch.io/holojam-5Platformer
You dash at dark orbs to light th em up and open up doors to net level, pretty neat
>Something Inside*https://casuallypear.itch.io/something-insideHorror
Run around school while collecting keys and evading red Gura, slightly spooky
>Angels may Sighhttps://shizarureykah.itch.io/angels-may-sighRPGMaker horror adventure
Pretty nice, I recommend saving often
>Promise Funtime Emporiumhttps://brainless-developer.itch.io/pfeFive nights at Freddy's clone
It looks nice but I couldn't figure out how to use buttons, still won
>Shork And TranquilityMegaman Battle Network clone?
Run around a room and provoke mascots into fighting you in MMBN styled battles, I think
>Shoeblox Tycoonhttps://becc-deham.itch.io/shoeblox-tycoonIdle game
It's pretty basic but it's also hiding minigame where you corrupt other holos into playing Roblox
>Holo Corruptionhttps://lcapps.itch.io/holo-corruptionShoot em up
Based on that one classic shoot em up where you switch between two colors to avoid bullets but more basic, only one stage with a boss
