Oct 4 00:27:21		Cold Coffee in 10…	♥ 1	Expected something really simple when I started playing, but was quickly impressed with how new ideas and complications kept on being added. Audio was a little sparse, I wish there was a tune playing to round everything out. I love how the little characters jump-walk! well done!
Oct 4 00:33:59	6m 38s	Sheeple	♥ 0	that eye opening animation is awesome!
Oct 4 00:41:02	7m 03s	Clockmachine Chaos	♥ 0	super impressed by the polish on this one! the addition of keys and the ">" blocks really added depth. It was however a little hard to gauge when block would fill in or fade out, even with the timer over the characters head. well done!
Oct 4 00:47:18	6m 16s	Binary Blasterz『ロボット弾幕』	♥ 4	What a great take on the theme! The addition of the second ship that shoots back felt really good after running away for a couple levels. I also really liked how the counter ticked down in binary, and the 1bit graphics fit great!
Oct 4 00:55:02	7m 44s	Needy Pixel Kitties	♥ 1	Someone needs to get your daughter a podcast or something. She sounded very enthusiastic and really got me excited to play this game. As others have mentioned, the gameplay is smooth and the graphics are really cute...phenomenal work. I agree with @madeofst that the first level felt a bit slow, (even taking into account getting used to the controls)but that's just my preference. In the future it could be fun to make a dog version of this. Hats off to you for creating a polished game and giving your kid a chance to do something new.
Oct 4 00:58:49	3m 47s	Stoked	♥ 2	Surprisingly calming, given the frantic-ness of the gameplay. It was a little too hard for me to ever live long enough to buy a soldier. I also really liked the fire particle effect, and the color palette in general!
Oct 4 01:10:15	11m 26s	Cat.exe	♥ 3	Love the windows 95 aesthetic! The cat runners movement was very floaty, making it hard to do the jumps. Also it seemed like sometime a jump wouldn't register when I thought it would. I like that you guys included a leaderboard.
Oct 4 01:12:04	1m 49s	Golova	♥ 1	I got a "If you're seeing this error, it means I can't find your index.html file." error when attempting to run the game :(
Oct 4 01:19:14	7m 10s	Faster Food	♥ 1	Dang, I am bad at this game. After what felt like 5 minutes I was finally able to complete an order correctly lol Even though I was frustrated I wanted to keep playing because the vibes were so hilarious and wholesome. Fits the theme spot on and the audio really added to the chaos. It took me a while to figure out that the items outlined in brown were being served, and that the meal didn't have to be assembled to be considered complete. If you decide to add on to this game in the future, a tutorial might eliminate some confusion for new players. I checked out your itch page and have to say that the art style of all your games is so quirky and amazing. Keep up the good work!
Oct 4 01:22:38	3m 24s	Arkentower	♥ 1	I like the idea of mashing up a tower defense game and an "endless jumper" (you remember Doodle Jump??). The character controls were very "slidey", by that I mean I would try increasing the friction on the character so they slow downed faster. Also thank you for letting me jump on enemys heads in adittion to using the towers :)
Oct 4 01:34:10	11m 32s	10 Second Dating	♥ 1	I really enjoyed the concept of this game. When I was brainstorming ideas speed dating came to mind but was unable to figure out gameplay for that concept. Nice job doing what I couldn't! I had a bit of a hard time catching the question bubbles. Making them bigger or having them move slower might help make that part easier. I was also using a track pad instead of a mouse, which may account for the difficultly I experienced. Overall, great work.
Oct 4 15:13:44	13h 39m	Gelato Drift	♥ 2	This is so fun to play. I appreciated how the audio changed at the end of the game when the time ran out. Time pressure feels spot on... chaotic but not to the point where it's frustrating/feels impossible to complete the task.
Oct 4 15:27:46	14m 02s	Base Defense	♥ 1	Nice work! I found myself needing to really focus on defense vs collecting shards, which was an awesome challenge that felt fun. Like @gamejmunk said, the tractor beam feels a bit slow, but that's something that could easily be modified in the future. Keep making games, you are good at it!
Oct 4 19:58:30	4h 30m	Racoon-aissance	♥ 1	Graphics and audio are spot on. I had a very difficult time finding the last one, but managed to complete the game in 500+ seconds. You should totally run with your idea of more levels.
Oct 4 20:04:59	6m 29s	You vs. the clock featuring the narrator	♥ 1	I laughed out loud when the duck appeared. Really enjoyed this game and the narrative take on the theme. If anything I agree with @xorel about the text scrolling felt a bit long. Having the text instantly appear would give players more time to make decisions and enjoy the hilarious stories you created. Keep making games!
Oct 4 20:46:09	41m 10s	Nova Pulse Bakery	♥ 1	Finally, someone has combined two of my favorite things in one game. Bread + space = perfection In all seriousness the graphics and mood of this game are amazing. I found myself a bit confused about what steps to take in order to produce a loaf. The descriptions by each machine were helpful but as a visual learner I appreciate picture tutorials. That being said, there is only so much time in a game jam, and you completed a polished game here. You can always add a tutorial later if you decide that's something you are interested in. Nice work!
Oct 4 20:52:51	6m 42s	Insecticide	♥ 1	@unprecedented I would love to try this game out but am unable to download due to lack of storage on my device. Do you have an online version of this or no? Just from the screenshots it looks really fun. My wife has a garden and is always complaining about the bugs eating her plants lol
Oct 5 00:05:45	3h 12m	Swapwood Quest R	♥ 0	Love the artwork and music! it was a little hard to do any sort of planning based on the incoming attacks. Seemed like I was just trying to get any match 3. Overall good take on the theme, and a really impressive level of polish and content! PS: this game reminds me a little of "Pick Pack Pup" on the Playdate 🙂
Oct 5 00:09:47	4m 02s	Rockatoo	♥ 0	Love the idea of adding improve to rhythm games (which can often not have a lot of room for expressiveness)
Oct 5 00:16:43	6m 56s	Tecton Inc.	♥ 1	That lava effect is amazing... definitely going to steal that! The text on the initial screen was a little hard to read, and I wish I could jump on the little lava monsters to kill them! But it felt really good when I deposited a huge stack of gems all at once. great job!
Oct 5 00:42:50	26m 07s	bäbäböx X	♥ 3	The sound effects and music really stood out to me (in a good way). It took me a while to figure out how the platform timers worked, maybe that something that could have been part of the tutorial? Over all great take on the theme, and thanks for going for a whacky style !
