Wow this really feels like a PS1 game, totally nailed it with the art style/vibe. Love the music as well, cheers!
Great entry! The artwork is fantastic. Would have loved to have heard some music/SFX, if your still in need of that for a post jam version let me know.
Wow this looks really cool. Wish I had a PC so I could play it. Super curious!
Cool game! Love the art style, the music (blues perfectly fit with the old bar vibe), and overall concept. Love the writing as well, maybe it could have been woven in-between gameplay instead of all the beginning. Great work!
Awesome game! Really enjoyed the music, super funky.
Haha great use of theme/gameplay. Super funny concept and the 3D graphics are top notch! Great work!
Fantastic use of theme and the cyberpunk artstyle is spot on. The music and sound design was also especially well done/immersive, especially the city soundscape. Great work!
Great work! Fun short game (the dialogue was especially funny) and love the funky spy/detective music.
Very cool concept and atmosphere. The billboard was hilarious! Would have liked to see the information get used more, maybe you could get spam on your phone in the game or people start coming after you. Great work!
Cool game! Love the artwork, reminds me of an interactive version of the "Operation" boardgame from back in the day. Would have loved to hear some music or sfx, if your ever in need of such a thing feel free to get in touch.
This is such a great concept! Wish I had PC so I could play it, looks awesome
Really cool game! Love the art/concept and some of the character/objects I encountered had me cracking up. Was a little hard to get used to the controls at first but once I got zipping though space it was totally worth it. Would be nice to have a definitive "brake" button of some sort but I guess that's the whole thing about space travel haha . Great work!
Brilliant! Great use of theme and execution in incorporating in into gameplay. Love the art style and the music is spot on. Fantastic work.
Cool concept/story and use of theme, would have loved to see some more interactive gameplay and hear some original music. If you're ever in need of such a thing let me know.
Love the concept, art and retro aesthetic! Great job on music as well, If you're ever in need of custom music or sfx feel free to reach out!
Wow this is super silly, love it! Artwork is amazing and music is cool too. Love the old movies playing in the background, nice touch!
Well done! Love the story and the dark/noir vibe. Artwork and music are top notch. as well. Nice Work!
Nice one! Cool concept of theme and clever use of game mechanics. Would have liked to hear some music/sfx or even an ambient track in there but still great work either way. Let me know if your ever in need of such a thing! Cheers
Haha good stuff! I did a short comic strip about a candy bar in a vending machine awhile back, glad to see a similar concept implemented in a game/interactive fiction. Love the sfx/ambience, really sets the mood and makes you feel the anxiety!
Cool concept! Love the idea of playing as a group, very innovative and well executed. Maybe you could even incorporate multiplayer elements into such a theme down the road. Would have love to have heard some music or ambience, let me know if you're ever in need of such a thing.
@green-rail Yeah sorry about about the loud text sound, I believe it's been adjusted now. Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
Thanks for playing @everyone! This is the first game I've composed original music/SFX for, so all your positive feedback on the audio portion has been really encouraging. Looking to build my game audio portfolio even more, so if you like what you hear and have any games in development that still need music/sfx I'd be happy to collaborate fo free. Here are a few more examples of my work: http://amerigogazaway.com/licensing/
@simon-rahnasto Thanks! I recorded the coin SFX myself, I used all types of foreign coins from various countries on a hardwood floor. Always looking to build my game audio portfolio so if your ever in need of music/SFX I'd be happy to collab.
@captaindreamcast Thanks! This is the first game I've composed music /SFX for so your feedback means a lot. Looking to build my game audio portfolio so if you're ever in need of such a thing I'd be happy to collab. Your game was a blast btw! One of the funniest games I've played on LD so far.
Wow this is one of the coolest games I've played on LD! Love art style and especially the music (just fits so perfectly). Would have liked to hear some SFX in space levels, but then again technically there in no sound in space so touché. Great game!
Wow super impressive and love the concept! 3D animations are great and the mood is super spooky. Would have love to hear some spooky music or even a simple ambience track playing to set the atmosphere. If you're ever in need of such a thing I'd be happy to help. Fantastic work, cheers!
Super immersive game! The art and music create a creepy atmosphere and the story/world-building is well thought out (and ties in with the theme nicely). Great work!
This is great! One of the funniest games I've played so far. The artwork and dialogue had me cracking up. Also really clever mechanics with the dollar/coin/gold switching.
Amazing graphics/3d rendering! Super creepy ambience and sound as well, great work
Great work! Nicely polished and executed, Love the Blade Runner style/Android hunting concept. as well.
Wow this is incredible! Love the retro color tilesets/pixel art and music is spot on. Can't believe it actually plays on GB too. Is there a specific game engine/software you use to get it to work on Gameboy? Fantastic work either way
Great use of theme and love the retro feel! If you're ever in need of original music I'd be happy to contribute.
Hilarious concept and use of theme! love the retro aesthetic as well, cheers
Super quirky, eerie, weird game! Love the art style and music as well. Also love how you kept breaking the fourth wall with the text. Great work!
Wow super funny! I played an interactive novel with the same premise but cool to see it come to life. Great job with animations and the music was especially fitting.
Nice work! I was actually thinking about doing a similar in terms of plot with our game but we ended up going in another direction. Glad to see someone did it effectively, would have never thought to do it in such a cool retro style. Kinda has an "Earthbound" vibe to it. Well done!
Brilliant idea! Love the idea of exploring the connection between art and technology. Would have liked to see more original or interactive music elements in such a music oriented game. If your ever in need of such a thing I'd be happy to collaborate. Great work!
Cool game! Love the atmosphere land the demon gate "idea". Would have loved to hear some spooky music or even a simple ambience track. If you ever need help in that dept. (music and sfx) feel free to get in touch.
Nice Job! Really enjoyed the music/sound design and overall mood.
Wow this was such an awesome game! surprised it doesn't have more ratings. Great use of theme and connecting it with the gameplay mechanics as well. Would have loved to have heard some original music /SFX (or even a "factory sounds ambience" type loop in the background. If you're ever in need of such a thing or still plan on updating the game I'd be happy to compose some music or sfx for it. Great work!
Love the artwork and music! I'm a sucker for games with this type of retro feel. Great Work!
Great work! Love the theme/concept and old school arcade style, controls are smooth and fun to play. Nicely done!
Super impressive! Love the comic book artwork and the music. and solid use of the theme. Great work!

Clever gameplay mechanic with the coins and great use of theme! The music loop got a little annoying after a while, maybe just because it was such a short loop. If you ever need help in that dept (music/sfx) feel free to get in touch. Cheers!
Awesome game! Love the goofy characters and art style. Also cool how each character has their own unique abilities. Great work
Agreed, this is a really cool game! The art is quirky and the music is fantastic. The controls were weird at first but I figured it out after reading the comment above. This should def have more ratings, you should try to rate some more games if you have the time (it will boost your presence on the site). cheers
Great job! Love the art, concept, robot animations, and music/sound design. Really cool overall vibe/atmosphere
Clever concept and use of theme!
Love the sound and music, also like how you incorporated the theme in two unique different ways. Great work!
Funny game! Would be nice if there was some sort of one player story mode to go with it. But definitely love the concept and sense of humor behind it, great work!
Love it! It's like a Futuristic Frogger haha. Would have maybe liked to hear some more original music (those Kevin MacLeod creative commons tracks tend to get reused everywhere lol). Let me know If you ever in need some music & sfx for game. Cheers and great work!
@pyrian Nice! Would love to take a stab at it. Not sure if your referring to the main theme from Spy Hunter (Peter Gunn theme) or something else from the soundtrack. Can you send me a couple reference tracks to listen to get a better idea? (maybe one from Spy Hunter and something more cyberpunk?) My email is amerigomusic@gmail.com.
@pyrian Would something like this work? Here's an example of a Cyberpunk style music track I created: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pt7euorswgsp1r5/Cyborg%20Highway%20Patrol.wav?dl=0. Or are you looking for something with more of a spy-movie element in the mix?(this approach usually involves leaning more heavily on big band/jazz style sounds/instruments, guitars, strings horn sections etc)
Great idea and use of the theme, love the artwork!
Really cool space shooter! Reminds me of starfox but even smoother controls.. Would have love to heard some epic space music to set the moo... if your still int he market for some for some or ever in need of music/sfx feel to reach out! Cheers
Also got stuck in room with shotgun. Real fun mechanics though and great use of theme,. Love the music/sfx!
Awesome music/rhythm game! Especially funny having DJ'd at lots of festivals and dealing with my fair share of haters/song requesters etc. Also curious, how did you get the audio to sync up? I'm assuming some sort of third party program like Wwise or Fmod? Great work!
Wow thanks for clarifying! That's alot of work! But makes sense if the whole game is one BPM the I guess that makes things a little easier. Still though, super impressive for just 3 days. I'ma DJ composer trying to get more into game development and interactive audio so i'm super curious how all this works. Thanks again!
Great work! Cool gameplay mechanics and eerie vibe. It's creepy how the monsters keep appearing on the map, really keeps you on your toes. I saw you opted out for audio...if you're ever in need of such a thing feel free to get in touch. Some more examples of my work here: http://amerigogazaway.com/licensing/
Brilliant concept and execution with the hand drawn artwork. Love the SFX as well, perfectly fitting!
Fantastic work! Love the art and music. Almost made it to the end but I ran outta fuel. Bout to give it another shot

Cool concept! Love the artwork (color scheme), music, and overall aesthetic. Might be cool to incorporate more gameplay or more of a story element. Great work!

Omg this brilliant! Def one of my fav LD45 games so far. Great use of theme, good UI and super polished. I made $38 and froze to death lol
Omg this is hilarious, great concept and character animations. As a hip-hop producer this one definitely put a smile on my face. The SFX were pretty loud and jarring... If you need some original "Drake" sounding beats/music let me know!

This is great! Love the way the story unfolds as you play the game and the music is awesome. The voice-over had me cracking up too. I noticed a couple bugs where when you die it plays one or two overlapping VO's. Sound design was also a nice touch, the text sound is very "frog-like" haha. Solid entry!
Cool interactive fiction with great writing and presentation.

Wow, super polished! Would have loved to have heard some music/sfx, let me know if you ever need any in the future :)

Fantastic entry. Supr cute and the music was spot on. Great work!
Cool concept! Definitely has a Limbo vibe. I like the amount reverb on all the sound fx, adds to the overall spooky mood. Would have liked to hear some music butI guess having no music also ties in with the theme :)
Awesome game, the writing for the narrator is great. Love the Hitchhiker's Guide reference and the music as well.
Controls are a bit weird but love the comic art style and music. That Boss theme slaps so hard!
Hilarious! Love the concept, let me know if you ever need music for future projects :)

Nice work, impressive for your first jam. Pretty unforgiving in terms of difficulty but fun nonetheless. Love the music!
Cool mechanics, love how you can go offscreen and come back on the other side (although this should probably happen quicker). Good soundtrack and sound design as well Great work!
Wow this is cool. Great atmosphere, graphics and audio. Gonna definitely check out visionaire studio as well, thanks for the heads up!
This is great, love the chiptune music and hilarious take on theme. I made it to level 10, cheers!

Don't have Xbox controller or PC but watched the vid and this looks really impressive. Great work! Love the music as well
Haha great work, love the sped up voice acting! 5 stars for humor
This is nice, not big on management-type games but this was relaxing and fun. Also liked that I was saving the planet from greedy humans. Graphics, music and UI work great together. Good job!
@drskort Thanks for playing! Had a lot of fun creating the music and our sound designer did a fantastic job as well. Really enjoyed your Goblin Adventure game too, cheers!
@lairinlair Thanks for playing, glad you liked the music! You can also stream/download the soundtrack for free on my Bandcamp. Your game looks rad btw, wish I could play but I'm on mac.
Cute game! Love the art style, music and snow sfx as well haha. I think it might cool if there were some items that you could pick up or some other UI elements to keep it interesting. Either way great work
This was great, love the music, very percussive. Nice work!
Awesome game, love the UI, art style and the music. Was the music interactive? Seems like it was building up as I made more upgrades but maybe that's just a nice coincidence. Either way great work!
Wow, wish I could play but I'm on mac. Looks awesome, if you ever need original music keep me in mind.
Wow super impressive, love the PS1 oldschool aesthetic and feel. Great work here!
Interesting concept and take on theme! Lol at the emojis, curious to see what would be there in place of them. The music is nice, I think the gameplay might be better/easier if you don't die when touching the ceiling. Nice work
Love the humor here! One of the funniest games I've played so far
Nice level design, love the music. Great work!
Great job, really inspiring that you did it all solo. I'ma composer but I'm trying to learn pixel art and programming as well. Trying to get my wife into game dev too haha. Awesome game!
Absolutely love the narrative, pixel art, and soundtrack. Great work!
Wow the art, music and story here are really impressive. The combat was a bit confusing, was hoping it would play more like a normal RPG battle. Really love the mood and narrative/world your created, nice work!
Really love the artwork. The world travel system is nice and lot's of surprises along the way. If you ever need original music keep me in mind!
Great job, seems like you guys put a lot of work in to this so hope you get to finish. Had some trouble reading the tiny text in the UI windows. Art and music/sound are great, would love to see a polished version. Cheers!
Haha love the narrative and sound design. Also cool that you added a shop/upgrades etc. Great work!
Haha this is awesome. Can't play on mac but let me know if you get a mac or html version. We made a cat inspired game for last LD too: https://enigmadragons.itch.io/you-gotta-be-kitten-me

Wow this looks nice, I wanna play but I'm on mac. It's cool that you used Procreate, just downloaded and curious to use it for game dev assets. Cheers!
Haha this is great, love the concept of "offering to the gods". I accidentally offered myself up lol. The art and animations were really nice/seamless and the sound design was also great. Would have liked to hear some more music maybe while digging/planting but I love the sound effect that happens when you creep up towards the edge. Nice work!
Whoah cool. I like the visuals , reminds of Wolfenstein meets Portal but B&W haha. Great work!
Haha this is great, I see you guys also had a big team. Hilarious take on the theme! Love the art style (reminds me of Another World). The music and sound design for all the different locations is also perfect. Would have liked to to see more dialog branching options for such a dialog driven game, but other than that I really enjoyed it. Great work!
Nice, seen a few gardening games but really love the "Grandma" narrative here and the pixel art style as well. Impressive work!
Nice entry, love the funky music. Great work!
Wow this is great, and impressive that it's a solo entry! Love the concept, humor, artwork, and music. Nice work

Great use of theme, I was hoping someone would make a game about dinos. Nice work!
Haha this is pretty difficult but lots of fun! Great concept and hilarious use of theme
Haha great concept. I made a social distancing inspired game a few weeks ago too : https://amerigo.itch.io/paper-trail. Love the chain mechanics, awesome work!
Haha this is awesome. Great art and perfectly fitting sound fx. Would have loved to hear some of those Catalan rumba vibes!
Great work! Very nice pixel art, polish and controls. Would have loved to hear some music or sound design but understandable with the time constraints. Please keep me in mind if you ever in need of audio! Gonna go check out some of your other games as well, they look awesome :)
Man you guys always make great games. This one was a bit difficult as I couldn't get past the last dungeon but love the originality of the game mechanic and how it ties into the theme. If you ever need music let me know!
Love the art style and the gameplay is very addictive. Great work!
Wow the art is just gorgeous and the sound music are fitting as well. Love the little touches like how the screen shakes when you hit a wall (makes it feel like your underwater). Super polished, one of my favorites so far.
Wow this was great. Took a sec to get a hang of the controls but once I did they felt very intuitive. The art style is charming and music/sound are very fitting as well. Awesome work!
Wow the art is absolutely stunning. Sound design is incredible/creepy too. A great twist on a "Finding Nemo" style narrative and the voice acting was also a nice touch. One of my favorites so far!
This is awesome. The art and sound do a great job of conveying a hellish nightmare environment while still remaining cute and pixelated. Good stuff!
The story, art, atmosphere and music are exceptional. Could use some more gameplay elements. Amazing work!
This is great, love the retro windows feel. I def get an Earthbound/Undertale kinda vibe from the battles. Would have loved to hear some sounds or music, let me know if you ever in need of that tyoe of thing!
Love the trippy graphics and music. A nice relaxing departure from some of the more frustrating LD games. Great work!
Love the pixel art/sprites and music. Gameplay was a little hectic/confusing but I guess that's the point right? Great work!
Very cool, I like the lore/world-building included in the game's premise. The art style is amazing as well. Great work!
Love the art style, UI and sound design. a nice twist on the classic space shooter mechanics but underwater.
Love the pixel art style, nice twist at the end as well. Could have used some cave ambience fx or music maybe. Great work!
Great worK! I love the concept, art style and calming music. The mechanic of splitting the school of fish in two is very creative and makes for some interesting/unique gameplay. I also really like the idea of controlling a group of things vs and individual character. Great work!
This was beautifully done! As an aspiring pixel artist I can really appreciate the artwork, and the music was perfect as well. Great work!
Haha great concept, this is definitely me and my dog at the dog park every time lol! Love the jazzy music and it changes as owner gets closer. Great work!
@lenan @briibot @pinky-toast @fnessa @aliiiii @binarydiv @ginxel @phillip-scott @iguanana @charq @david-york @maxkyckling @rost @sjpixels
Thanks for playing! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the music/audio, I had a lot of fun composing for it and I was heavily inspired by games like Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, old-school RPGs (town/village/world map music) and of course 'The Great British Baking Show' ;)
The 'WAAATER', 'happy plant sigh', and 'gasping for air' SFX are actually recordings of my wife Marija, and they were all completely improvised/unrehearsed. I basically just hit the record button and told her to close her eyes and 'pretend to be a thirsty plant' lol. We're so happy they made it into the game and brought some smiles, and she is also stoked to have her first official video game credit/cameo!
Also, I just released the Original Soundtrack (along with a bunch of other game OSTs, remixes etc) for anyone who's interested =) https://music.retrogradearcade.com/album/mythic-garden-original-game-soundtrack
Thanks again for your feedback and if you're ever looking for music or sound for your games feel free to get in touch! -AG
Really well done, love the art style and the whole concept overall. Definitely fits the theme and the mood/atmosphere is also great. If you ever need original music/sfx feel free to get in touch!

Wow this is super trippy and creative! I really like the idea of exploring an interactive virtual art gallery. All the artwork was fun and quirky and the music added alot to the atmosphere as well. Fantastic work!
Amazing! Love the art and the music makes it that much more funny/cute. did you do the music as well? Little hard to figure out what I'm doing at first but the controls feel really nice. Great work!
Wow the artwork, story and and music are amazing! One of the best entries i've seen. Great work
Wow this was awesome. Love the artwork/ui screen interface and the robot voice sound design really give the rover a lot of personality. Impressive work!
Very, cool! I was hoping someone would do a vampire theme as it came up during our brainstorming session, but I like the western outlaw twist as well and the art/music fits perfect with it. I also really enjoyed the blood splatter animations and the color palette you chose. I think the movement could be better, as I'd really love games like this where the pixel art is very simple/minimal style but the animations and movement feel super fluid. Great work!
Great work, love the art style, story, and the music is spot on!
Super cute concept and graphics/presentation. Love the music as well, great work!
Great work! love the artwork, UI graphics, music and sound design. Control were a little difficult/wonky but maybe because I'm playing on wen browser? Either way great job!
This is really well done. As an aspiring pixel artist I can appreciate the art style and cohesion and color palette. The music is also groovy. Great work!
Great work! Amazing amount of polish and the art and music were spot on. Love the concept as well, hilarious use of theme!
Haha that was so much fun to play! Loved the silly premise, art style and the game had some really nice 'juice' fx with all the background changes and camera movements. Not sure if the music/sfx are original but if so great work on that too. And if not let me know if you're ever in need of that sort of thing! Great work
This is so dope. Cool concept, mechanics, love the art/design and the soundtrack is fire. My only suggestion would be adding some SFX design for player feedback. Great work!
This got me in my feels, especially towards the end with all the treats and running toward the the rainbow bridge. I love the beautiful simplicity of it and how the story is told from the doggo's perspective. Great work!
Wow amazing entry! A fantastic use of theme/storytelling, especially with the little messages after each day. I really enjoyed the pixel art style, color palette and the UI design which all worked really well together. Definitely gave me some Chrono Trigger '2300 A.D.' vibes as well. As a music/sound guy I would have loved to hear some audio to help set the moood (if you're ever in need of that sort of thing let me know). Great work!
Whoah, well that got dark pretty fast lol. Cool story and music, and the artwork style and animation was also very fluid and smooth. I think the art styles could have been matched a little better (the characters objects etc looked way different from the tiles). Also I wasn't sure what kind of game it was at first (platformer with RPG/horror elements?) but I think that's actually one of the things that makes it interesting/cool as it's kind of a mix of different game genres. Great work!
Cool concept and very satisfying game loop, Pixel art and music are good too. Super impressive that this was made by a high school student, keep up the great work!
A truly heartfelt entry, especially as a dog owner/lover. Love the Undertale vibes too, art style, music and story is incredibly well executed. Agree with others that clicking was a bit annoying, but other than that this is one of my favs!
Love the Starfox vibe! Kinda hard to play on laptop but very unique controls and the 80's synthwave style music is a great touch!
Pretty difficulty but love the art style and use of music in theme and gameplay. Soundtrack is bangin too!
Loved everything about this game! The theme, concept, art style, music, 90's cartoon references and even a secret Chrono Trigger style developer credits/ending. Nailed it!
Holy crap this is amazing for a game jam. Cuuldnt' get it to run all that well but from what I played it's really impressive. Love the music! Classic RPG/adventure vibes
Wow cool concept! I love the build your own level idea, very unique. Also love the music and hwo it was incorporated into story/gameplay. The pixel art is great as well, def has Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery vibe!
This was incredibly well done! Love the pixel art and music, very cohesive and calming. And you def caught me off guard with those last couple puzzles!
