Great visuals and take on the theme. Alas I was not able to help grandma. I think this sort of game would great benefit from upgrades but this is a fantastic start. Would be nice to give me extra projectiles or more attack speed, damage stuff like that. But otherwise you should be very proud of what you made in a weekend. Cheers!
Very interesting and unique take on the theme. I just suck at it, kinda felt like trying to rub your head and pat your tummy. Would have been nice to have a slower ramp up in difficulty, but still great game!
For being such a simple little game you were able to make it feel so good. Love all the screen shake, sound effects, and minimal color pallet. Congrats on making a game in one weekend! Cheers!
The little glow effects really added a lot. I might have gotten stuck on level 2 and wasn't sure how to progress. I thought the little mushroom dude were also cute. I think some sound effects could have really made this game shine. Congrats on making this in a weekend! Cheers!
Very interesting idea. I liked that you're default setup was a fail case to teach me how to play. Good little tutorial there. I was unable to figure out how to look around so my few attempts were basically random guess to figure out where to go. I'm sure there is a few solutions to this problem and would be interest to see if anyone can crack it. I think this game would have more punch if it had a few sound effects (even if you just made noises with your mouth). You would be surprised how effect a few sounds will be. Also love seeing a leaderboard. Congrats for making this in 1 weekend! Cheers.
Thought it was dumb, then ended up playing it until I could finally get that one damn white square. The real hero here, the music. It was calming and didn't feel reparative. I will say, I was a little disappointed that there were no victory sound effects once I finally made a white square. Either way simple but effect. Cheers!
Very impressive that you were able to make a 3d game with some awesome models in one weekend. I wanted some more game elements here like some sort of a health, or a timer to see how many crops I could harvest. It might have also been nice to give the player some way to gather water/fertilizer to make the crops grow faster. Ohh, or maybe a store where I could go buy upgrades with the money I earned from the crops. These are just ideas if you wanted to keep working on it. But this is a really great start and impressive for 1 weekend. Congrats!!
I really enjoyed this game, I only wanted more levels. I though you did a very good job of introducing the new seeds and then doing a little more exploration. Oh and this ran perfectly fine for me on Chrome. I think some growing sound effects might have added a lot more. Like some sort of noise when the mushroom bloomed could have really made it feel magical. But yeah, congrats on making this game. Very interesting take on the theme. Cheers!
Very nice game. At first I had a hard time, but then I realized the crabs and fish will be animated when they are going to act. After that the game became a fun dance trying to figure out their patterns and how to exploit them. The boxes didn't seem to have a purpose so it might have been nice if they had fish or some sort of powerups. But this is a very solid game. Congrats for making a game in one weekend!!!
Nice game! I liked how the trees feel over when I cut them. This really made it feel good to cut them down. I wish there was some sort of indication for when the chainsaw could be used again. Also, great sound effect for the chainsaw. Sound really adds a lot more to games than we think. Congrats on making a game in 1 weekend!!!
For me the flashing on death was harsh on my brain, would be nice to give some warnings for those who are sensitive. I did really like the wall effect you achieved and the cool particles on death.
Very nice polish and nice job doing the core well. I only wish I could have gotten some power ups to make my guns better. Cheers!
Great work! This a really good base for a game. I think what I was missing here is the ability to collect more upgrades to make me more powerful. Looking at games like Vampire Survivors that is were the fun really comes in. But, it's really cool to see how much you were able to add in a weekend. I really liked the snow effect.
Congrats on making a game in a weekend. I think you could added some sound effects to really make the moss feel out of control maybe like sound.
You made me laugh and for that I am thankful. Cheers!
Very nice entry, I liked that I had moments of chill and moments of rushing. I think that made a good balance.
Very lovely game and had a solid laugh at the begging. I only wish for more upgrades, but the three you made were really well made.
The spell effects were super cool, I bet with another week you could smooth out the exploration and add in enemies and what not. But this is a very solid proof of concept. Cheers! Also thanks for fixing the bugs so I could play. :)
Yooo, solid work here. The music and art design were my favorite parts. My gosh does that laser pack a punch. Not sure if dropping the laser was necessary after firing it, but it did give it some extra punch. More than once I lost the laser on the first level and had to just jump around. Hope you enjoyed the jam. Cheers!
Nice work, light effect was super cool and it was fun to try and keep the enemies outside the range so they wouldn't shoot. I think their bullets could have been a little fast so it wasn't so easy to dodge them. But other than that this was very impressive for a jam game. Cheers, and thanks for sharing with us. :)
Nice work, super awesome that you got sound in there. A small change that might have added a lot would be to have made the red cubes move randomly around and then de-spawn after a while. This would have given the player more to dodge. But, be super proud that you made a game in one weekend! Thanks for sharing with us! Cheers.
pew pew pew x5000 love it. The upgrades felt so good. Only wanted more upgrades so it could keep getting more ridiculous. But I loved what you had. Each speed upgrade gave me a good laugh and rush of excitement. Thanks for making with and sharing with us. cheers!
Very cool Noita like gun building mechanic. I liked that I could shoot the gun as I was messing with. I bet if you another week or so you could add some cool new components, new enemies, and smooth out the building process. Sound design and graphics could have been a little cleaner, or maybe lean into a pixel art style. This felt like you were somewhere between pixel art and smooth graphics. That being said, I had a great time playing this game and you should be super proud of the game you made. Cheers :)
Lovely take on the theme. I liked how it was harder to move upwards than side to side. Interesting that you had to balance taking catching some bullets but not too many. Would have been cool to have more powerups, but I'm sure time was an issue. Alas :) Nice work, you should be super proud of this one. The song was a good touch. Cheers!
Wow, I didn't like it at first because I was so weak.. but then I was surprised with the upgrade system and that made me want to just keep racing around and around as fast as I could to get more DPS. Nice work. Would have been nice to have some indication of health on the enemies so I could know which once to aim at. I really liked that I could turn around and then "kit" enemies. Nice work! Cheers. I had a ton of fun playing this one, felt like I as a child again stumbling upon an amazing internet game.
Very solid take on the theme, the explosions were such a nice little add to make the game feel more balanced and give the player a small goal. Nice work.
WOW!! Simply wonderful. Cool take on the game and enough fun mechanics for me to play with. I'm surprised I wasn't able to easily cheese your game. Nice work. I only would have wanted to have some sound effects, but time is limited. One of the cooler entries I've seen. Cheers.
Stopped by your stream to take breaks from my game, and TBH thought you were just making a full Vampire Survivors clone. I was wrong, this totally fit with the theme and had it's own take on the genre. The one piece of feedback would have been to make the spells/player sound effect not be positional. Otherwise this was very well made and impressive that you were able to hope back into unity after so long and create this little gem. Nice work Quill. Cheers!
P.S. I never got all the weapons but I was hopping there would be some sort of infinity gauntlet easter egg waiting there. Maybe I'll return later to see if that is true. Time to go rate some more games.
Simple and had a solid vibe. Although it might have been nice to add some audio of sounds of the sea. Great work, and be proud of completing a game in one weekend! Cheers!
The song you made was by far the best part about this game. My optimal strategy just became holding down 1,2,3,4,5 all at once. I think this game could have been a little more interesting had you adding in more ammo or give me a reason to save up ammo, like empowering a certain gun randomly. But still, you made a game in one weekend and your should be very proud of that work! Cheers!
Wow, this was very well done. I made way too many tents hoping for a large pop quickly and then create a massive famine. Very well done, you should seriously consider working on this some more, get some chill audio, music, more mechanics and then throw it into a mobile game.
Nice work, and cool take on the theme. The building mechanic was a little clunky to use and I bet you could have smooths that out if this wasn't a game jam. Very impressive that you got this together in a weekend. Cheers.
Wow those hooks are fast, nice effect there. It may have been interesting to explore if you couldn't stop swimming. Nice work and the song add a lot to the atmosphere. Cheers.
I can't believe you made this in a weekend. The SFX felt pretty good to me. I think if you had another day or two this puppy would shine. Great work, you should be very proud of yourself. Thanks for stopping by chat to say hello to me as well :)
Wow, the lighting and theme of this one was awesome. Can't believe you made this in 1 weekend. I'll come back to try this once I have my controller.
I can't believe you made all these yourself in one weekend. It's like a bunch of mini games that all trigger me for some reason ;) hehe I might make failure feel more aggressive somehow. But other than that nice work.
I can't even imagine how I would go about making these spells, great work and love that you stopped by to say Hi and have my play it on my stream. Cheers, be proud of this game :)
I really like the atmosphere you were able to build here. I think this has the start of a cool project. The sound design was amazing. Had some Journey vibes (game not artist). I named the Golem Gary.
Love the contrast between real time moments and ticks. Tutorial was very clear, I just suck a typing so to would be nice to have an option to slow down the game tick. Art and tiles sets were really nice and the game design overall is something you should be proud of. Thanks for stopping by my stream to have me play it. Cheers. :)
Makes me miss my pup, great job creating an experience that made me feel. I liked the color and use of dithering. I only wish there was either more story or more mechanics. But the gameplay just felt like a way to get to the next dialog. I'd honestly have been fine just watching the dog walk.
Wonderful work, I can't believe you got such a good looking black hole made in a weekend. I mostly just wanted to sit there and feed the almighty black hole more matter... but making things anti-matter was also cool. Maybe pause the the game during texts tutorializaton. But other than that this was great.
You were able to capture that really nice design artistic here was nice. And the tutorial part was fun and easy to understand. Two things that would have made this game that much better would have been coyote time (being able to jump right after you leave and edge, instead of only allowing jumps when on a floor). And the other would be to have both Space and W key for jumping. Otherwise amazing work, you should proud of what you made in such a short amount of time. Cheers.
Nice work, I like the platforming and basketball themes. I found myself more often than not just running up and "slam" dunking the ball without shooting as the using W to aim felt kinda bad with out having an aiming marker. But, that being said the sound effect were nice and I really liked that how to ball bounced around as I threw it. Would be really cool if once you scored both hoops you were brought to a new level with different platforming layouts. Although, that takes time and we didn't have a lot. Great work, you should be proud.
I sucked a lot the first few times, but once I got the hang of it the game became a lot more fun. My strat was to dumping ground for parts I would try and use later. But didn't really fit my plans in the moment. Great work! Maybe some sound effects could have really brought it to the next level. But alas, that all takes and we don't have time for everything.
Like the use of the sneaking theme, but the menu was probably my fav part. It was cool be able to use the buttons to change options. Nice touch.
Wow, that got out of hand quickly. Love that you made each "thing" get harder and harder. Nice work and good vibes. Although I'm pretty sure I wet the bed.
I found the chach cha hard as heck to dodge
I think the difficulty is just right. Nice game! Was there any sort of difficulty curve or can you just randomly get unlucky with positioning?
I think this is a perfect example of keeping you scope small and working on good execution. We all learned something. Nice game, and congrats on a good jam :) Cheers!
Love the tabs/spaces joke :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsoOG6ZeyUI
Agree with most of the posts that this is an old idea, however there is nothing wrong with simply taking an idea and learning how to do it yourself. I love the retro vibes and sounds. I think this was a success! Cheers
Great idea, it feels like a fun take on snake, hard to tell what the clones are doing after a while. Cheers!
Same as Recher, never quite got the first game. Second was a good joke :)
Wow, this is awesome. I might need to check out unreal if you were able to do this in 48 hrs alone. I had some screen tearing, but I really like this game. Some audio would have been the icing on the cake, but still well done!! As you mentioned, would have been better with more lvls.
I like the art style, not sure what the torch's are for. I ended up using them to mark where I had been. Never found the hole. Maybe I'm suck looping through the wood and there isn't a hole.. if that's the case nice theme, if it's not I think this game needed a little more gas.
Nice job for you're first time learning game dev. Gameplay is solid, but I would recommend spending more time on UI. I found it jarring to figure out when the rebel would break and when I would be reset. Keep refining the project and see how much polish you can add. Cheers!
Nice, game with a catch sound loop. Wondering if there is a bug on lvl 6? I don't see any goal. Hopefully you can fix before the deadline. 2020-10-04_15h11_51.png
I really like this game, I think it could use a little more instruction around what the different squares mean. Really cool take on the looping mechanic. I'll be back to rate, and play some more :)

Took me a bit to fully get going, but I liked the general exploration of the concept. I could see this turning into a nice little incremental idea if you choose to keep working on it.
Flockin' Demons by Bewelge 2024-04-25T11:44:22Z ♥ 0
Nice job, impressive you made this so quickly. I think the base difficulty is a bit high and could have benefited from some slower increase, but as you said you only did this in 10 hours. Nice work!

Nice work, I love math and had some fun with a few of those puzzles. Nice work executing on a core idea.

Wow, I played this for way longer than I needed. I love the small sound effects and the slow incremental progress. Just enjoyable. Cheers!

Love the sound effects for changing back and forth between the frog/chicken. I sucked at the game, but still had a good time. Cheers!
Bloud by aliflaliq 2024-04-23T02:58:00Z ♥ 1
Nice work, I loved the art assets and the simple exploration of the idea. Not sure if was just me but I had a hard time seeing the whole game when I played it on it. Might have been zoomed in too much or maybe I did something wrong. Oh and the audio was nice as well. Cheers!
Date Summons by Pokopish 2024-04-17T16:41:04Z ♥ 2
Nice work, I enjoyed the sound effects and overall composition of the game. Congrats on making a game in only a weekend! Cheers!
Ring It On by Conrad Etherton 2024-04-17T16:32:29Z ♥ 1
Nice work, I love how the simple graphics, colors, and sound effects all added to the the atmosphere of the game as well as the gameplay. I'd like to see the bell ringing be tweaked up a bit with maybe a animation for the bell. Otherwise, I thought this was a lovely exploration of a mechanic and theme.
The Wizard Games by nickCherns 2024-04-15T02:54:50Z ♥ 1
I got 800! I love the little sound effects and animations you added to the crowd. Those small little thing can add a lot. One struggle I had was that I kept staring at the next input prompt so I missed all the combat above. Maybe a short delay between the next prompt so I could see the great art you made. Congrats on getting a game together in only 48 hours!!
Phasebound by Kepsert 2024-04-15T02:44:23Z ♥ 1
As always such a great entry. Blow away the core mechanic. Easy, thanks for stopping by and sharing. Congrats!

Nice work, the are you made here is incredible. I did have some issue with how loud the sound effects are. Might be a good idea to have a way to lower the volume in game and or a way to prevent the sounds from "peaking" when the same sound effect are played. That being said, this is a great entry and you should be very proud of what you made. I hope you had a fun time.
