Wow, you just took PowerPoint mastery to a whole new level! I never even thought of using PowerPoint that way. This was incredible, especially given your constraints! I suggest changing the puzzle order to have the “outside-the-box” puzzle last since that mechanic can kind of break the remaining puzzles… but I beat it the right way! Great Job!

Awesome you took the challange and created a game in Powerpoint! Every time I think, that I wont use Unity the next LD, but still fall back to Unity. But using Powerpoint is really on another level! Really awesome!
Wow
this is just amazing! to be honest you had me at "made in Powerpoint". It could have been terrible i'd still like it. but you managed to invent mechanics within powerpoint and this is super impressive! as it was said by @pixelydian the order of slides could be changed to have the think outside the box puzzle on last slide (what a clever idea was this puzzle tho)
Well this is very unique! The idea was a pretty good hook and you delivered on it. "Think outside the box" was very clever. The final level was impressive and difficult, but a little more "thinking outside the box" let me pass it lol.
I love that you even linked the "source code" as just... the same file hah!

That was incredible. Reminds me of that old flash game, I can't imagine this didn't take some direct inspiration from that lol
Realized I could skip frogger too :)
Really did not expect to play a powerpoint game today, you have succeeded in bringing a smile to my face.

Fun! Takes me back to goofing around on school computers in the 90s.
This is SO FREAKING FUN! Amazing work! This is also so innovative! I've never thought of using powerpoint this way! Amazing job!

I am incredibly impressed by this. To me this totally embodies the spirit and fun of game jams. Totally out there, weird, and different, but in all the best ways. It's totally innovative and makes me want to see more of the awesome stuff you come up with. Definitely following your LD and itch pages. Well done!!
It's amazing that you did this in power point. Very clever design!

This is brilliant. The first genuine "aha" moment in the jam, which is a remarkable thing! Simple but thoughtful puzzles which use the 10 second limit really well. Graphically it's pretty basic of course, but that fact that this was so much fun just goes to show that a tool is just tool. I'm also especially fond of this submission because it reminds of my days trying to use PowerPoint 97 as an animation tool! Absolutely superb work - thanks so much!

Never played a powerpoint game for ld, I really liked the out-of-the-box puzzle.
