Enjoyed playing this a lot! Always like a good gathering/crafting type game, so good job. Maybe the lava shouldn't be affected too much by tilting the world backwards, you can just have the sleems do a job and keep the world tilted backwards to avoid the lava coming in. I'd have loved it if it was a bit more hectic! Overall great game 😄
Think I'll have to play this one again when I'm not tired 😆 I've seen a lot of comments this jam about bugs being part of the theme, so seeing this game made me lol. Very good job, loved it!
I like the idea behind the game a lot, having a world that materializes in front of you as you run is pretty cool. I would have rather seen a cube jumping around than the unreal mannequin though. When the world generates, the transition feels like a frame drop (but there isn't one as I checked given you uploaded a dev build 😄 ) Maybe next time try starting from an empty project and see how much you can do without any starter content, you might be surprised! It's all about the experience and learning in the end! Nice try though, really liked the idea for this one.
Wow, this one has a lot going on and I'm sure you can do some cool stuff combining all mechanics! I got 3 levels deep but then got insta killed by some scary thing. It would be cool if the enemies reacted to what you do in your turn instead of locking in their move before you do anything, but other than that great job!
2/3 jumps I made killed me, but made it to the end! I thought this would have been more infuriating but somehow I couldn't stop even after dying 10 jumps in a row. Had a good time, but wouldn't play again 😆
Awesome minimalist art and I just giggled at the sound effects. Enjoyed this one a lot, nice!
Actually started out quite tricky, but once the first section is over it's just so much fun seeing the random drops and events come in. Really enjoyed playing this one, good job!
Love the hand drawn art in this one! Tricky game but fun. I do think the animals you're dropped should not collide with the ones already dropped, I had this happen after dropping a large elephant which messed up the tower :(.
Really like this entry! The movement did look choppy and my jump input was sometimes ignored (I think it happened on not completely flat surfaces the most) but other than that I had fun. Well done
I enjoyed the boing sound a bit too much 😄 When going down the bouncy mushrooms, I missed some sort of anchor points to line myself up as you do fall quite fast. It would have been cool to have the starry background not follow the player, but just tile so I could use the stars to line myself up. Loved the simple controls, yet challenging gameplay as I progressed. Well done!
Cool game! I agree with previous feedback on the movement but mostly some indication on when you're taking damage. The first time I got reset I hadn't realized yet I did something wrong or used 15 turns.
The error sound made me laugh the first time I heard it 😆 Unfortunately I had the same crash as @zachsbutt (at the same time). Before it crashed I was having a good time trying to find the broken equipment, good job!
I had an issue with the game opening in a tiny screen but could make it fullscreen with Alt+Enter. Loved the atmosphere and concept. Really cool game, definitely for not having 3 days!
Made it all the way to the top on the first try! Lovely little game, really enjoyed it. Well done!
I had to screenshot the what colors where what building and put in on my second screen, would have been great to have the text along side the colors. Once I got the hang of it I had fun, by the end it got very hectic to get my bots fighting off all enemies but I managed to get home! Nicely done, loved the game.
After figuring out the controls I had fun with this one! It's quite challenging but it like that. Well done!
Took a little while to get used to the mechanics, but after I got the hang of it it was quite fun! I love the sfx, it reminded me of playing Warcraft2 and having 100s of villagers cut wood at the same time. I would have liked to see villagers return to their job after eating, not doing that makes it more challenging. Overall enjoyed the experience!

Tree Protector by dusho 2022-04-10T14:38:27Z ♥ 1
Agree with most of the above, fun game but the aiming was hard. I ended up with one guys on the tree that seemed impossible to hit so I ended up failing because of it. Not being able to hit him at all is probably me being bad at games though :D Overall, I liked this one :)
Life's the Wurst by jimmothysanchez 2022-04-10T14:34:21Z ♥ 1
This one gave me instant sausage party vibes. Game looks great and both sound effects and animations are super funny. You could improve on the AI of where the utensils get thrown as I was able to just stand on high spots for quite a while before having to move. Awesome entry non the less!
ps: You can remove the .pdb file in Engine\Binaries\Win64 to reduce download sizes significantly :)
Jelly Defense by LDP 2022-04-10T10:06:57Z ♥ 2
The game looks and sounds amazing. At first I didn't realize the towers could be moved during the round, which was fine until the later rounds. Luckily I figured that one out and made it to round 13 I'm not sure though as there was no score screen at the end. Cool game, and the addition of the money pots to defend was really cool and brought in a secondary challenge. Well done!
Catronaut by fatPenguin 2022-04-09T21:42:06Z ♥ 2
Purrfect sound, great visuals and awesome movement mechanic. Nice and polished, loved it. I see you balanced the game after the jam, once I reached the top and got the hang of flying around (didn't use the platforms anymore once I figured out that was possible) I just floated around for a bit waiting for the next thing to break. Remind me to never buy a spaceship off craiglist, not even with 50 pawcent off. Awesome entry, and loved the cat puns :D
GO:TO Sleep ! by Hozoku 2022-04-09T20:56:22Z ♥ 3
Those pesky computers keep crashing huh? Great visual style and love the sound and music, hopefully your programmer will be back up and running for next time!
The Adventure of a Lifetime by JamPaktGames 2022-04-09T20:42:12Z ♥ 1
Amazingly strong story, music was engaging and loved the art style. Was a roller coaster of sad and happy moments, loved it. Thanks for this experience :)
Corrupted Caverns by Kaya Games 2022-04-09T20:25:01Z ♥ 1
Cool crafting game! Took me a bit to figure out the controls but ended up working it out, mainly placing objects didn't click initially. Nice tutorial at the start though, would be cool to stop the timers ticking down while the tutorial screens are up but not allow the player to progress yet. Loved the music and atmosphere you created too! Great entry :)
They are coming! by unfinished 2022-04-09T10:45:47Z ♥ 1
This one is definitely one of the hardest entries I've played so far, but I enjoyed the game. Simple, but enjoyable. I do agree it gets really difficult real quick. Maybe introducing the different types of aliens one at a time so you can get used to their movement patterns would be good, as it's hard to predict how different aliens will move before they reach the earth!
Desert Oasis by Janku 2022-04-09T10:41:32Z ♥ 1
I too want to spend my day roaming around, looking at interesting rocks and eating fruit now. Loved the atmosphere. A bit confusing at the start, but once I got the hang of it it was quite fun! Hits the theme right on too, well done!
Carrot Grove by Ehon 2022-04-09T10:34:26Z ♥ 3
I was already impressed by the huge settings menu for a jam game, and then I started the game! So much content and a great story. The music did start to get quite repetitive as I progressed through the game, but that's a minor thing. I'm not usually a fan of visual novel games, but this one I liked! Excellent work :)
Borrowed Time by csLupius 2022-04-09T10:11:14Z ♥ 0
Beautiful game that fits the theme really well. I did look like cooking didn't increase my hunger meter, but that ended up not mattering as I died of hypothermia* after 6 minutes anyway! Nice art, sound sets the mood really well. Overall, great entry!
Five Knights in France by Pixelydian 2022-04-08T10:14:07Z ♥ 1
One of the few entries I'd consider humorous! Loved the setting and the premise of the game, character controls felt great. Was a bit hesitant to install a jam game with elevated privileges though, but glad I did!
I'm on a boat - Anxiety Simulator by Sopata 2022-04-08T09:53:17Z ♥ 3
Awesome jam entry, playing this with two people each controlling one character could be quite fun too! Good effort, really enjoyed this one :)
The Clockwork Imperium by subcreation 2022-04-08T09:18:15Z ♥ 1
The synchronization of movement and sound are great! I think the game needs a bit of balancing as I wasn't able to fail. I could just spam click all the towers to create a massive army and kill all the archers (except for one on a ledge I couldn't get to). Cool vibe and unique concept, well done :)
MegaSpiker by Copito 2022-04-08T08:46:54Z ♥ 1
Always love games that use a custom solution for the engine. I like how I was peacefully walking around the forest picking flowers when all of a sudden I got shot by a massive monster :D Looks and feels great, impressive with a custom engine.
Coffee Run by jelch 2022-04-07T14:14:29Z ♥ 1
Awesome art style,love how it isn't just game over when you run out of coffee but you need to survive your nightmares! Good build up of intensity in the dreams, and failing is definitely inevitable, awesome job!
Last Life by Bloodbane 2022-04-07T14:05:09Z ♥ 1
Cool game, enjoyed it! Did have a crash on startup with my steering wheel plugged in, but luckily the logs were clear :) I liked the mechanics, but felt like walking was a bit slow and the civilians would run away from my healing which seems odd. Overall, great entry. Well done :)
PLOUF! by mlho7 2022-04-07T10:03:00Z ♥ 1
This one had me chuckling from the first line of text! Super simple game, but hits the theme right on and love the art style, well done :)
Forest by StudioCherno 2022-04-07T09:58:11Z ♥ 2
That was a cool game! I had your guy's streams on in the background throughout most of the jam so knew a bit about how to start, think it would have taken a bit longer had I not known the initial quest. Super impressed by how far Hazel has come, and the game worked perfectly for me! It was just a bit dark during the first quest and I lost the initial ammo once I entered the graveyard. Otherwise, loved to mood and sound in the game, great entry :)
