Apr 5 01:49:46		Solar Flare!	♥ 1	Simple yet very satisfying gameplay loop! Definitely adds to replayability. Very responsive controls and audio is great as well. It'd be interesting to see how it would look expanding on the colors and aesthetic.
Apr 5 01:56:30	6m 44s	Imposter Syndrome Surgeon	♥ 1	Clever and fun basic game mechanic. The aesthetic of the game is great: good humor, fun mood, established through excellent sound effects and an upbeat music track, as well being a spot-on example of quality pixel art. It'd be great to see more words added to the game.
Apr 5 02:07:49	11m 19s	Like a Boss	♥ 1	A very cool premise and a promising start! The 3x3 grid movement works well and adds an interesting element to the game, as well as being given multiple attack options. There are some beautiful pixel art characters. Still, it is a little hard to appreciate their variety, since they are all sent in mass numbers from the very beginning. Although the basic controls are not that hard to figure out, they are relatively difficult to get used to. At the time of this writing, audio is extremely quiet.
Apr 5 02:33:19	25m 30s	Ragnarök: Fight for The Yggdrasil	♥ 0	We had eerily similar premises- needless to say, I approve of the theme! Core gameplay mechanics are solid and plays quite smoothly. Would love to see this after audio is added and balancing some numbers.
Apr 5 02:46:07	12m 48s	The Demon Trainer	♥ 2	Clever premise. As a fan of rhythm games, I also really appreciate the main gameplay loop. The different key combinations for the exercises works well and make for a good challenge. It's also a nice touch to visually see your character aging as their age increases. Some music could go a long way to tie the aesthetic together. While the tutorial helped to get the controls down, it took me a second to grasp the actual game. It seems like reps were only registering correctly in the tutorial but not the main game.
Apr 5 21:05:23	18h 19m	The Short Dark	♥ 1	Absolutely nailed the "demake" vibe of "The Long Dark." Easy to pick up and follow, controls are smooth, and art gets the point across. That this was all done with JS, HTML, and CSS makes it even more impressive. Would be interested in seeing it with some audio and a timer. Very nice entry!
Apr 5 21:21:55	16m 32s	100 Seconds to Midnight	♥ 6	Interesting premise! Easy to pick up and play with clear resources to juggle. The variety of events and their randomization definitely add to the replay value. It'd be great to have some more indication of just how much you stand to gain or lose on certain decisions, since it sometimes felt like a gamble where you may lose or not.
Apr 7 01:02:25	27h 40m	Delay The Inevitable	♥ 0	Sorry, your itch.io link seems to throw up an error message :(
Apr 7 01:04:01	1m 36s	Hourglass Boy	♥ 0	Unfortunately, the itch.io link does not seem to work :(
Apr 7 01:08:20	4m 19s	Cute Crumbling Corpse	♥ 0	The art is minimalist but beautiful. I believe the audio echoes this and they complement each other excellently. On top of that, the premise certainly fits the theme. However, it is a little unclear what needs to be done, and it feels like a lot is left to the player to figure out on their own. Absolutely a pretty game :) But if feels like a little instruction could go a long way here.
Apr 7 01:26:45	18m 25s	Time DashKing	♥ 4	We also embraced the viking theme so we are all for this! Truly beautiful pixel art and fitting sound. Fun gampeplay mechanic and solid controls. The dash added a nice bit of personality and variance to the game. However, did run into some issues with trying to retrieve the axe at the certain spots.
Apr 7 01:31:28	4m 43s	The Fly's Eyes	♥ 2	There was some nice pixel art! The paddle/controller was also very responsive to the target. However, it was rather unclear what needed to be done.
Apr 7 01:37:27	5m 59s	Wreck at Delta Blue	♥ 4	Wow! The controls for a flight game are spot-on. I'm not familiar with the engine but I can only imagine that was a lot of work to get down that smoothly. Graphics are definitely nice for this short amount of time as well. Audio did get a little repetitive very quickly and it was a little hard to determine how to find samples to pick up. But this looks like a very cool start to a game I would play!
Apr 7 01:48:55	11m 28s	Bathroom in the Backrooms	♥ 1	One of the most clever takes I've seen on the theme thus far. Excellent job on a first time 3D game. Controls fight you a bit, but it seems like that's part of the purpose. A little indication towards the objective could go a long way. But fun little game!
Apr 7 01:54:05	5m 10s	Never Alone	♥ 3	Very impressive! Cool, simple concept that works extraordinarily well. Fits the theme and music and art fit perfectly. The "ghostlike" vision of other players is incredible and I cannot imagine how you pulled it off in such a time frame. Truly impressive. This could be a full-fledged game with a bit of variety/abilities added.
Apr 7 02:00:11	6m 06s	Last Stand	♥ 2	What a unique concept and executed extremely well! Easy to pick up and a lot of fun to play. The audio is great as well. A little more feedback on what you can place where would put this into "full-fledged" game territory. Great job.
Apr 7 02:14:09	13m 58s	Just run!	♥ 2	This turned out to be a very beautiful game! Great pixel art. Audio was minimal but definitely fit the aesthetic. Gameplay was very enjoyable once you figured it out. For less clever folks like myself, a little bit of instruction would go a long way :D
Apr 7 02:19:53	5m 44s	Inevitable	♥ 3	A creative take on the theme. The visuals are nothing short of spectacular- innovative and absorptive, literally and figuratively. The audio also perfectly matches the tone of the spiral. It's truly a powerful message, but despite it, from a strictly gameplay perspective, some slight variety could make this fantastic concept go a long way.
Apr 8 03:27:26	25h 07m	Cussmuss: the ice cone fuss	♥ 1	Truly a unique game! Love the animal theme, and the great art perfectly complements it. Although it took me a minute, figuring out the gameplay was very satisfying. I think this could be an interesting full release if the audio quality was brought up to match the graphic quality.
Apr 8 03:32:25	4m 59s	Male Pattern Boldness	♥ 1	Absolutely and utterly ridiculous. In the best way possible. Very clever take on the theme. Graphics and audio match beautifully. Very good sense of humor.
Apr 10 23:37:29	68h 05m	Reapers & Retirees	♥ 1	Mood/atmosphere is excellent. As a player of (TT)RPGs, I love this concept and the characters. Art is beautiful and the music is very appropriate. The general idea of the game and the mechanics with the different characters is great as well. I did have some visual issues with text outside the dialogue box and largely blocking the "Build" button. It was also unclear when the tutorial ended and I was expected to keep going (although this appears to have been addressed in the game post). Also encountered bugs where I was not allowed to build towers, saying the area was obstructed, even though it wasn't. Without a way to return to the menu in-game, this meant Ctrl+Alt+Delete to deal with the bug. Great concept and atmosphere; will be keeping an eye out for the post-jam version!
Apr 16 00:25:11	120h 47m	Caffeine Kid: Sleep is for the Weak	♥ 0	Excellent concept. The art is great, especially when you consider the limited amount of time. I really liked the controls as well- felt very smooth and responsive. The right click to view the whole office is a convenient ability and a clever way to handle the overview. Plus, sliding is just fun! The UI info the bottom left is currently a bit challenging to read. More indication and response for the coffee would be helpful. I also encountered a bug where the game wouldn't properly continue at the start of a new day. I had to Ctrl+Alt+Delete out of it since there wasn't a pause menu. I think with some quality of life improvements, mostly in the UI, this could definitely be a project worth pursuing after the jam.
