Apr 20 14:22:48		Connect	♥ 1	Hey, this is really great! It takes an incremental game concept and turns it into something more complex. I liked that I had to redo my circuits several times to keep it going, and unlocking new areas was really cool too. One issue I found was that I really wanted to use arrow keys to navigate around the map, and I also was unable to see the top righthand corner after I unlocked the area to the left, so I couldn't access the computer there. But those small issues aside, this felt really polished for a jam game and I enjoyed playing it! Good work!
Apr 20 14:28:31	5m 43s	Lost Focus	♥ 2	Hi! Good job for your first LD! I think this is a really good concept, but I had such a hard time even leaving the first room. I was able to get a small area below me to become solid once it hit me after I jumped, but I was never able to get high enough to actually jump to the ledge. Surely I am doing something wrong, but I think it would be really helpful to see a screenshot on this page so that we can see how it's intended to work for the first room. Again - really good concept and would totally play a puzzle platformer with this mechanic!
Apr 20 14:32:45	4m 14s	ULTRA-RADAR	♥ 1	Great compo game! I love the concept, and found it super stressful to try to follow the radar to see who was trying to get me. The red background that showed up stuck around for the entire game which made it difficult to see what was going on, but overall this is nicely polished and complete for a compo game! Good work.
Apr 20 14:38:11	5m 26s	Singing Space CEOs	♥ 1	lol this was so silly! and really impressive compo game! I went to the rock and roll planet and got some music, wasn't totally sure how to edit it but flew my crappy recordings back to earth. they loved it!! i got enough money to go to disco ball planet and i was super excited, but as soon as I got there, I got a call... I accidentally spent all the money and now the mean CEOs are gonna make me drift off into space 😢 but i loved the inclusion of voice acting and all the music. Genuinely this was a delight, even if I couldn't quite figure out how to be better at it. Good work!
Apr 20 14:46:46	8m 35s	SOL	♥ 0	I tried a bunch of times to find the signal on the zoomed continent in level 2 and I could not find anything! I even zoomed in and basically pixel hunted but I could not see or hear any difference. Was I doing something wrong?
Apr 20 15:12:27	25m 41s	Finnicky Fourier Toy	♥ 1	this is a really cool game! I can't get past the second level, it looks to me like I have it correct but ... red lights all around and no amount of slight tweaking was slight enough to get me there! in any case, I love Shenzhen I/O so I loved this. I played it for way longer than I intended. I mean, I did a bad job, but lol I had fun doing it! Screenshot 2026-04-20 111046.png
Apr 20 15:16:31	4m 04s	Haberdashery Rhythm Assault	♥ 3	this is so cool!! It reminds me a lot of rhythm doctor, but I really like that you have to do different things based on what's attacking you. And even though there was no info at all to start, I quickly figured out what to do. I'm impressed, you should write more about your game on here so that others will give it a try and rate it! Good work!
Apr 20 15:33:53	17m 22s	Hidden Messages	♥ 2	Ok first off, I listened to every second of every station and I gotta appreciate your creativity here, it also made me laugh a few times. To be clear I didn't understand two of the stations but really enjoyed listening through them! This is a really creative compo entry and honestly there aren't enough puzzle games in jams like this IMO. I was a bit confused about what to do at first because i was looking up top for the button and eventually realized it was at the bottom but marked ^^^, hah. Also, the resolution was suuuuper small no matter what I did, but I squinted my way through it, and I'm glad I did! I'll be on the lookout for future more complex puzzles from you like this, because this has a lot of potential and I think it's a great format for a puzzle game! Awesome work.
Apr 20 15:40:58	7m 05s	Coherence	♥ 1	I liked this, I love pipes games like this, but I kept losing and not understanding why. My oxygen was fine, and I thought that was the only concern? Maybe not. In any case, I liked that different pieces occasionally behaved in ways I didn't expect, I think a puzzle like this has a lot of potential to get really complex and interesting! Good work.
Apr 20 15:47:41	6m 43s	ECHOMAZE	♥ 2	So is the goal to navigate a maze in the dark? I was confused about all the options available to me, I didn't realize I could click the box until I was almost out of power, lol, and I wasn't totally sure what it did. and I started wandering before I saw that I had a map available, sooooo, I guess I'm the kind of person for whom they make tutorials :D This game has a really good vibe, though, and I like the music and pixel art!
Apr 20 15:53:21	5m 40s	Peter's divine intervention	♥ 1	I liked this! I thought I'd be able to outrun the other people and a couple times I got burned by that, but otherwise I thought it was cool! It'd be nice to be able to see the circle a bit more clearly, even if we can't see it all the time. Otherwise this is very fleshed out for a compo game, good work!
Apr 20 16:01:59	8m 38s	Switchboard	♥ 3	This is sooooo polished for a jam game!! I fiddled around with making a switchboard game a couple of years ago, but this is way better than my concept. I like the different ways of determining the correct connection, it's like 911 operator meets Papers, Please. I'd totally play a full game like this, great work.
Apr 20 16:17:10	15m 11s	Metric Relay	♥ 1	This is really well-polished! I made it through about 40 levels. I understand the concept but at a certain point my brain was like "ok we can't logic this out let's just place beacons in likely spots and roll with it" but I did start kinda learning the approach after a bit. I love puzzle games so this was great! Good work! AND it's a compo game? Even more impressive!
Apr 20 16:19:28	2m 18s	WAVE	♥ 2	Hi so I really would like to play this but the embed isn't loading and you don't have a link to an itch page or something! I have never had any luck with the native embedding here, so I don't even try anymore, lol. Let us know when the game is working, I want to play with waves!
Apr 20 16:22:52	3m 24s	Who I Once Was（旧我）	♥ 2	Hi! This seems interesting but I think you may have forgotten to upload your game!
Apr 20 16:52:12	29m 20s	Terminal Espionage	♥ 2	I LOVE THIS GAME!!! Seriously, I was having sooooo much fun until I tried "c cipher set key june" and then it blew up with an exception that I am so sorry I did not capture and paste. But it's okay I should move on to testing other games anyway :) I love puzzles, I love terminal games, I love feeling like a cool spy. I was mystified until I read the tutorial below (I tried reading it in game but I couldn't scroll back up lol). Having it written on paper below the screens would be great since you can look around at your cave. But anyway, this is definitely my favorite game so far this year, I played it for like a half hour, I would 100% play a full version of this with more of a story and more refined initial experience. Also I almost said "amazing work y'all" and then I saw that this is a compo game so I'm even more impressed. GREAT JOB!
Apr 21 19:57:14	27h 05m	To walk on Strange Roads?	♥ 6	oh my gosh you ALSO made a game with an entire made-up language!! I love the pdf translation guide (beautifully designed!), I loved the hot/cold mechanic for finding packages, and I love the depth that went into designing the language even going so far as diacritics and particles. I don't suppose someone on your team also studied linguistics? Anyway, the pixel art is beautiful. The game also just feels lovely to play. Many a-ha moments like "ohhh yogurt cold circle for machine." Have you ever played the game Concept? It's almost like a kind of visual charades. Also I love that the entire planet is vegetarian <3 tbh this game/vibe feels tailor-made for me so thanks for making it.
