Wow, this is a great game! At first, I was skeptical and thought I was just earning gold for no reason, but then I noticed the shop, and everything clicked after that. The background music is awesome, and the boost effect is fun but sometimes a bit annoying. The game has a nice challenge and smooth controls. I found the key in 18 minutes — really enjoyed it! Thanks for the game!
Simple mechanics with straightforward JRPG-style upgrades, and the Cthulhu and monster sketches are really cool! It’s a shame there’s no sound or visual feedback for combat, taking damage, or upgrading — that would’ve added a lot. But I still played it all the way through… and released Cthulhu :D
The core mechanic is cool — it gives off a bit of that procedural vibe, even though you can tell it’s pre-designed. With the right visuals, some polish on the upgrades and the shop, and a bit more sound work, this could really turn into a solid game.
The concept is super unique, but the controls feel really tough and stiff. The turning after tilting and after visual contact barely gives you a chance to stay on the edge — without strafe, it’s hard. But the idea, the sound, and the visuals are seriously good.
I honestly tried to control the chest, but when I gave up and just let go completely — I actually made it through, and it felt like a weight off my shoulders 😄 Real “ludka” moment. It’s kind of weird how the chest keeps wobbling all the time — that gets a little bit annoying.
The storytelling is really well done — everything’s clear through the details. The ending feels quite sad if you think it through on your own. The environmental assets are super well-crafted, and the core idea behind it all is great.
I really enjoyed it — it’s a solid game, kind of like a really good Arkanoid! I had a lot of fun and ended up upgrading everything. The UI is pretty decent, but in the shop, everything is the same color, so at first I couldn’t tell where my currency was. The ground turrets feel super strong unless you pass over them at a height. But honestly — this is a real game, and it’s a good one!
Нуууу, мне как будто не хватило Импаката от падающих камней, и угрозы, я просто спускался вниз, немного тяжело управлять визуального фидбека не много, Атмосфера действительно кайф, визаул оч красивый.
The sound design is so unique — as an Audio Designer, I loved it! You got all fives from me. The creepy lore and the whole concept are awesome. Great job! All Star for you.
Falling is genuinely fun, and it’s great to see this made in UE. The music is quirky, and the visuals with that shader are pretty nice. But there’s an issue with collisions — I often fell out of the map. Honestly, I wanted to fall into the gold veins, but couldn’t manage it. I ended up finishing the game using a collision bug.
That was the most I could manage to collect — my battery couldn’t take it anymore. But the game definitely has potential. I wasn’t a big fan of the tank controls and overall physics, but the core idea is cool.
An unusual mechanic — I made it to the bloodstream, and it got challenging from there. The minimalist boat design is neat, but the controls really make you stretch both your brain and fingers. Still, I have to praise the core mechanic and the split-screen concept.
As a sound designer, I have to say the audio works really well here — it's great. I really liked the atmosphere and the intro. The visual style is super cool, and the lighting does its job perfectly. At first, I got frustrated with how long the attack takes, but then I changed my strategy and started picking off the workers one by one. I made it to the end. This is a really awesome game, truly.
An interesting game with distortion — it's both unsettling and mesmerizing at the same time. It creates images and silhouettes in your mind, but it also made me feel a bit unwell. I couldn’t finish it, but I did find the master key, and the voice genuinely scared me the first time — though after that, it stopped being scary.
For those who enjoy astrology and stargazing, this one’s for you. The gameplay is pretty simple and reaction-based. The warp jump was a bit painful — I had the volume sound all the way up — but overall, it’s an interesting concept.
The theme is well-executed, I completed all the levels but didn’t collect all the items. The character is cute, thumbs up for using UE. The physics are a bit wonky, but it’s fun to play.
To me, it doesn't quite fit the jam's theme, but throwing snowballs is fun. The voice actor is distracting — I had to mute him, thankfully that option exists.
I don't like mazes, but I finished the game. I liked that you can hear the monster if you didn’t manage to photograph it the first time — it gives you another chance. The lighting is good, and the monster looks cool visually.
It's a funny interpretation of Loop Hero, with a bit of progression and cards that have their own effects. It's fun to watch the damage numbers grow, and the visuals are nice.
Interesting idea, it would be nice to add more interactivity to the birds, and of course I feel sorry for my Spacebar. The animal models are cool, and the nature atmosphere is great.

Great concept — searching for treasure in the depths is really fun! But I definitely wish there was a bit more speed underwater.

A cool reimagining of Minesweeper, with a shop for item upgrades. I’m not a fan of Minesweeper, but I gave it a try.
