This is great in all categories! I did have to cheat a bit to get going and then more for the harder puzzles. But, with some more guidance/clues for the player included I could see it being able to build up into even more complexity really well. Nice comp submission!
Very nice to play, enjoyed this! Like the progression and the really satisfying enemy 'pop' on death!
Great entry, that was good fun! It took me a few goes! As others have mentioned some tower level / reach indication could be a good touch. But I did kind of like having to keep track of it all my head - until it got out of control.
Great maze design and art (really like the path floor pattern). The future updates in the description sounds good, but regardless congrats on the comp entry!
Yeah this is great, but I was pretty bad at it! Maybe ramped up too fast for me. I got a lot of 'What's this?' and I think I was drawing the glyphs too small.
Love the design and concept, great feedback when you get the lightning strikes etc Nice sounds! and obviously fits the theme really seamlessly.
For the glyphs I'd love to see them light up in some way if they're castable. Great entry nice!
@13x666 sorry I was meaning to be referencing the left menu of spells with that part of my comment! Thought it could be a good visual aid if they lit up some way when you get enough orbs to do a spell :)
I really enjoyed this! It made me gasp when I slipped out of line at one point. Nice concept and mood. Using the mouse felt really intuitive. Great game!
Really fun, I enjoyed the rage animation on a defeat. The character movement/ zoom works really well. Good, clear and simple tutorial and really consistent mood (just reminded me of being a kid in the 90s) Flatbeat!!
Really nice puzzle game, satisfying and great look/style. Can see it being able to ramp up in complexity with more levels based off these mechanics!
Nice fun, and good feedback on hits etc. I can sit and cover the bed as others say, and the current money gets covered over with the build as it grows. Nice entry!
@xanagear @jazonthemazon @rradu @marcodeevil thanks all for comments on the art, it's lovely to hear/ I know it's a little scrappy but glad you saw something in it :)
@saintchristopher777 thanks so much! time slipped away in end (same for audio), and I didn't quite get everything I wanted. Maybe post jam, thanks for playing!
@anvilesque Thanks for this detailed feedback comment it's super helpful. Really cool/funny to hear you got hooked in and sorry to tilt! I was definitely playing with the black box, but really wanted to find a balance that still worked for the player. The 3rd 'photo' stage was intended to be a more rewarding/hinting loop for figuring out and confirming your suspicions of the different item associations - like you say, it needs more! But, I'm glad you saw the cohesion in general. Cheers again :)
@fractal thanks and sorry :( I wanted to do something more there but planned poorly... I wish that I'd have at least set the timer longer for the results fadeout though, as I agree it's too quick!
Lovely game, your team has done a great job with bringing the art, storytelling and graphics together to create a cohesive mood and deliver the theme !
Nice, good fun. Enjoyed the balance of the abilities with a good level design. Massive audio track too + 1
Beautiful atmosphere! Great dice and board concept although I might not have picked up all the rules yet I wanted to keep playing!
Fun and nice atmosphere hides a pretty tough challenge! My mouse was a bit too sensitive so maybe a speed setting could be a useful addition. I would definitely summon more creatures!
Lovely art and I like the mood you've created with the environment and audio. Nice!
Really nice to play! Good balancing (although I didn't get too far) and mechanics. I liked the grass planting and collection. Art is lovely too.
Love the artwork, and nice character and world building - felt immersed in the the town!
I was a little confused at first, but quickly got the hang of it. It was really satisfying dropping my mushroom army in and I had to finish it!
I mistook the coin purse for a witch icon at first, so my head canon became 'blame them for the witches' XD This was really fun and a smart design, a great take on the theme and then executed really well. Felt a touch of monty python. Nice!
Brilliant comp game! Nice dice mechanic brought together with lovely graphics and audio. Fun!
Extremely polished and fun to go along with it. It looks beautiful and the sound design is great. I loved the touch of "start lesson" when loading the embed.
The way you have framed the narrative and built it into the mechanics is really seamless.
Smooth, awesome entry!
Fun maze, balanced well mechanically with the different character unlocks. Also, very cute insect portraits!
Bizarre but great fun. I ended up saving the hammer to defend my little guys / snacks from the spiders! I don't know if my seed grows past the long shoot, but it was cool and I wanted to experiment putting them in other stuff if you wanted to expand on it. The music is really great, the slider brings out some disturbing sounds that really suit the the weird setting. Nice!
Great game! got triggered by the feeding icon reminding of the old tamagotchi xD Love the horror elements it suits the gameplay so well.
Sound track is tidy and the graphics are great. Very polished altogether!
I kept accidentally clicking back to the menu in some of the mini games (thinking I should be pressing C instead of X for example).
btw my cat is just like this irl
Fun and spooky! I agree with your choice to have the low FOV, it just added to the nerves imo it's a vibe. I had some stutter but as others say my mouse was super sensitive even on the lowest setting and I think that was related. Great entry, just cool atmosphere and brought together really well.
Immediately transported into the hand drawn world, that amazing gnome wallpaper! Moody and surreal feeling which I think the music really creates along with the general design. Can't say I was very good but I had fun attempting to solve the room puzzles.
I also just liked opening stuff, but was never sure what was interactable.. maybe something to subtlety highlight things to interact with.
Awesome game!
Nice cute art and game design. Easy to understand the interesting mechanics because of the good layout and presentation, fun!
Great fun! I love the sounds as your little guys move around. The pops and the squelch XD Nice idea that could easily have more levels using the concept!
Splat! good messy fun.
Excellent stuff! Feels kindred to my own game. Love your drawn art and the control and grouping works really well. Loads of fun!
hehe fun game cool aesthetic!
Impressive entry! It was difficult to get going for me but maybe I just could have used the three console commands visible from the design screen. The design is eery and fits the abduction setting along with the great character art and sound! Nice!
I did a few runs trying to beat the beast! It's good fun and a nice challenge dodging the attacks. As others say, I kept running out of meat. I wish I could have a weak attack as the player to gather some crucial meat maybe? The commands work well though to draw your minions back and forward to attack which saved a few from getting got! Art and design is generally great too. Nice!
Had fun and a nice cohesive design! The abilities were nicely matched with the characters. Good job!
Click cliick click click This was fun! I would definitely keep playing but I have to rate more games. nice!
@slippers thank you for pointing out the Itch download issue, I've ticked the windows platform box now! Also, thanks for the nice feedback in general :)
Nice! This is good fun, the grapple is nice and smooth and it's satisfying when you get a good run across the rooftops!
Very nice I lost some time to this! It feels super polished and has a great cohesive style.
Good gameplay, the balance feels really nice but it's a slow start waiting to build up the initial fish! Maybe a 2x speed or some balancing.
The sfx were all great and fitting, the track is cool even after looping a few times!
The stop motion animation is fantastic! Along with the buzzing and clicking sounds and quick gameplay it has a great rattling mood. You could be a little more forgiving to the player - an ability to get away when over-run or to beat enemies back please!
I felt bad for doing at first but then there are so many all of a sudden ! The sound design really ramps up that feeling of chaos
Really polished well done team! I loved that the method of destroying the virus was to squash it with your giant finger ofc, if only I had a giant finger to squash all my problems. The mechanics really work well together along with the cute art and sound design, great fun! Plus good humour!
It would be good to see an in world 'de-motivator bar/mechanic' as it seemed a bit of a random click as to how it was de-motivating the creatures exactly. Fun cheers!
I definitely confused the win bubble for the player at first!
Good fun tho and cute
The 1-bit art is beaut! Nice to be able to interact with stuff and draw a little nice touch. The characters are very cute and the mood is amazing. Nice!
Really fun! I enjoyed this. I ended up completing and wanting to keep playing mixing and discovering more things!

I loved this! Awesome! Great use of the pegs and arcade claw, nice art and presented well design wise.
I learnt that one pet is enough for me!
GROSS! Good entry, nice I felt like I had been swallowed! Maybe include a bigger jump buffer on the ledge jumps as I kept jumping just too late (but it felt unfair XD). I really vibed with the green walls on level 3.
Really fun and cute story campaign unlocking the new adventurers and spells as you go along. The clues on how to combine items to unlock new rooms works really well. Art is great as well as the story.
Really fun! At first I was just trying to push the items up before I read the controls. Art is beaut and the music loop is nice. Breaking items on drag is a nice touch! I got to level -9 with a nice profit
Nice job, fun to play through till the end! I wish the psychic beam was a bit stronger!
This is just so clean from the start screen. All the art, music and design is so good!! (even if its too hard for me)
Really great submission, there's so many quality features and touches for a jam! I like the regrowth of everything, feels very alien. Having to break through the rock again when you resurface is fun when you're panicking about your last bit of O2! Lovely graphics and music too, nice!
sweet music track, the game has a mood. I'm so so at delivering pizza
Nice implementation for exploding yourself around and I found it really satisfying collecting the gold pieces! Quite hard, but fun. The art is great and sound all fits together for a good mood.
Sick audio track! I had fun! Tried to shovel the zombies at first, maybe be fun to knock them back with the shovel anyway but running away was quite thrilling as gameplay. It was hard to tell when I lost a life to an attack. The lighting effect works really well and the cave edge was clear, good graphics and character design! Congrats!
Congrats on your first jam submission! Really well designed and delivered, It was a thoughtful journey
I only made one acceptable grave in my first day xD love the nice lute music and the art. very nice middle ages theme
I love the cat design and how long it is when moving :D Strong use of the water as a mechanic which makes for some fun and challenging puzzles. Well designed and fun!
Nice launch sequence! I made it without firing the weapon , it was quite relaxing
Nice and relaxing! Using the color depth change worked really well - some of the paintings looked cool and it's a clever way of hiding the cat. Fun nice cat meow sound.
Love the visuals and sound - just a really great mood and atmosphere/ I wasn't very good at actually trading, but the concept is engaging.
The auction house art is beautiful! Collecting, rotating, flipping and sorting all the items was loads of fun! Excellent game. (maybe only the bidding was a little fast for me).
Stunning and perfect I loved it.
Nice environment and scrolling transitions. Cute art and it's fun bouncing on those little guys!
Nice! The leaf blowing, sweeping and collecting was fun! Quite a lot of menu/level selection, which kind of distracted from the gameplay a bit.
Blab <3 the color palette is beautiful and the design and audio just all went really well with the farts amazingly. Massively fun to play!
@lerkadverka Thanks for this insightful and constructive feedback. I don't even know why I blocked the player with the benches, it even annoyed me in testing XD Some narrative and 'dig missions' were planned but all lost to time. Great suggestions for the map and level design. Thanks for digging!!! <3
This was fun and addictive! I took the win condition at round 20 but could have kept going. The art, sound and level design is great and all works super well together. I had a bug where the gold collecting sound stopped playing. Fun, thanks!
Aww SO cute!! (and a little challenging). Altogether this has a really good mood and complementing design elements. I thought bouncing off the walls was good fun too! Plus, I got a date :)
This was awesome! It really has a great and cohesive atmosphere. I love the style of art. And the mechanic feels really rewarding when you get a group together. My best was 39 :)
You had me at the trash hose menu selection xD It's got that classic arcade toughness that just wants to take my money. Your gross character design and voice acting is banging too.
Day 1 fail, Day 2 211$ :sob: Day 3 Ok ok, Day 4, I got this... Day 2500$ - I got the 3 guys chilling (that's big money), I got my duck with they eye. Plus that range is worth something. Wait no, that's not the...
I really want to be in the stamp club!!!
(edit to add the 7's kinda look like 1's to me)
Sharks!!! I agree with the other comment re a bit too much clicking to show, turn, reveal a card and then go study in the book. Definitely still fun and enjoyable though nice!
The sound design has real depth I loved it! And it's a great hand drawn style. Some same comments as others (bit hard to figure out what is walkable, and ofc the keyboard not translating). It was really nice, I got ooo when I hear the roar and find the dinosaur!
Nice I jumped around a bit and found the sound the first time I pulled out the radio lucky me XD It took a little getting used to the grapple for me, a little punishing having to keep hold of mb right and re press up. But it was fun getting up the climbing wall pieces!
first go my mouth was open in gasp the whole time how cool!
Really funny and silly, but also great concept done well! Nice art and audio it all complements.
I read comments, but just to say I also missed the ending as I didn't realise I needed to add so many tough guys to each planet - just thought I had to make it there!
What a beautiful intro! The art is superb. Audio is amazing too, even if the level win sound is kind of surprising XD I didn't realise you needed to hide at first but then it made sense and was fun!
So good! It's a simple mechanic and straightforward use of the theme but it comes together so well and oozes style. I had fun finding all the channels. The faces, the tv clips, weird. yeah enjoyed it!
Really fun, really polished, very silly. Balancing was also really good, like thinking about when to burp attack and when to gather to make sure you have enough circle reach felt really nicely done.
I really enjoyed the transitions through the game Day / night and everything that accompanied it, changes in look. audio sfx, etc it has a really nice mood. I'm not sure if I got stuck on 3rd or 4th night session - or if I just wasn't 'doing it right'.
this is such a trippy inversion of a game that i was already bad at XD Art is beaut and so is sfx and music. The sonar pulse works really well. Loved the game over transition too!
Yeah nice deduction game! I like how the buttons have an impact on the crowd. I found a saint in my first round and then struggled to find another after, so not sure if I got lucky! The stats at the end added something for me too, I cared more about the sacrifices!
@jver422 thanks it's working on Chrome on Windows and Mac plus Safari. Please give it another go and rate!
@tesseus thanks so much <3 (good score, be proud)
@shores yeti.png
@kerdelos oops I totally forgot about other keyboard layouts! thanks for playing +1 difficulty
(Also the yeti I just drew for fun, it's not in the game unfortunately)
@iluvatar haha thank you <3
@panduplan true, I should have punished that! thank you

i love my loot but I must have run in circles because i couldn't get out XD not sure if missed a hidden room. Really funny when you skip the dialogue, I've never seen that! Had a good time!
Looks great and it was nice to play! Took me a sec to realise I needed to switch between views to pass the mines, but then it clicked. Great stuff, and nice narrative pulling you along. I hope some jammers get to play it on game boy!
Very tough, but nicely executed. I loved doing the little mop up animation. My eyes didn't even register the perspective for a while XD
tried so hard to decode these but I don't think the method is clicking for me (even after reading comments), so some way to learn in there would be awesome. The game is beautifully drawn and designed and I played through trial and error for the win! XD
Nice very clean experience! Good touches and fun!
Nice game with some fun different uses of the mechanics! I purposely squished myself under a door to see what would happen :)
wow this is so good! Really it's all together like sounds, look and feel. Coach guiding you along, pressure building up when you get it wrong, had a great time!
First time I turned and saw the monster ah no come on!!! Great use of the mechanic and great atmosphere, good horror feel. Fun!
The perspective is insane! I read your other comment on the stacked ASCII, fun idea and you pulled it off well here! When the enemies first started attacking it was surprising and fun. Some of the same comments as other players - mainly I got soft locked in the corridor with enemies at the exit. Congrats on your first LD (remember to like constructive comments its how the karma system works)
super pretty! It sounds great and the atmosphere is perfect. Plays very well even if I think the platforming is difficult for me. Sometimes waiting for the swoop when you're already hidden feels a bit wasted (if it could just triggered when safe or something). I think its a really interesting use of mechanics, hearing and reacting to the signals is fun!

I really tried for more and just couldn't get it, i was so close though! This really got me (i made a dig game last jam too might have helped). Loved it, such smooth mechanics and funny sounds. Bigger timer as others have said but perfect loop, nice!
