Lovely pixel art. Fun gameplay that is tense but balanced and innovative mechanics. Great entry!
Only minor problem sometimes it felt like I had to double tap to pick the fruit.

I liked the idea of starting with no controls and turning it into a fun puzzle game. Good job! I ran into one bug, a robot fell off the edge of a platform and the screen went black and I had to restart the game. Also I think I completed level 7 without using all the pickups, not sure if that was intentional?
Very good! Responsive controls, movement feels great, good level design, good use of theme and bonus level editor! I would have kept playing if there were more levels.
Loved the pixel art, espeically the backgrounds. I got a bit stuck because I ended up above the seeds I was trying to collect, and couldn't grow down and it seems like I couldn't cut down either. When I eventually got them it was the plant that grows downwards! Other than that I really enjoyed the game, interesting and beautiful mechanic. Well done!
Fun chaos. I echo what others have said, cool idea attaching the body parts but it seemed kinda fiddly to do. The parts seem to attach at random points. Despite that it was still fun though!
Usually I suck at runner games but I did OK at this one, so you balanced it just right! Loved the pixelart/voxely art assets. I really liked the idea of using the resources from the runner to build up the house, I think that idea could be expanded upon if you were to develop this further.
Fun game. Maybe add spacebar as an alternative to clicking? My finger was pretty tired by the end. I died pretty quick first attempt and got the statue on the second. First time I thought the mines could only be built by the stones, and lumberjacks by the trees. At one point my firehouse burnt down, not sure if that's intended? Also one time I tried to exit out of the build menu by pressing escape and lost the game I had going. No problems other than that!
Amazing entry! Really lovely artstyle and sound track, novel mechanic and good execution all round. It also perfectly fit theme of starting from nothing and building up.
One bug I found when you destroy a tree or rock ontop of the hills the letters would spawn underground so you couldn't pick them up. However it didn't stop me completing the game, there were enough letters elsewhere. Also I wish you could turn off mouse acceleration and turn down mouse sensitivity. Just two minor issues, I loved the game otherwise.
Wow everything about this was great. Epic music, great particle effects, and very good use of theme. Loved the progression as the scene evolves. Maybe a few more ways to interact with it would be cool. Good job!
Amazing entry. Zero infomation fits the theme perfectly. Very good puzzle design and minimalist graphics looks great. Only suggestion would be to add some ambient background audio.
Very zen simulation game. Fits the theme perfectly, well done. Reminded me of Sim Earth!
Beautiful enviroment, really nice art assets, models, textures, lighting, audio, etc. I managed to get a few of the objects up the top but I got stuck on a few. Unfortuntely I had to stop because the camera movement was making me feel a bit motion sick. I think the combination of the keyboard and the cursor both affecting the camera made it feel like I could never quite look where I wanted to. Other than that I liked everything about it. Very impressive!
Really fun idea, love the hand drawn art style and animations. Feels like a prototype with a lot of potential if you developed it further. Tutorial was well done as well.
Fun snake game, Good job! I completed it first attempt. I think it was a bit too easy, never really felt in any danger of dying. Maybe more enemies needed?
One bug when getting hit by an enemy sometimes they get stuck on you and don't do any damage.
By the way thanks for beta testing my game on discord! I found your game by accident. :)
Fun but I found it hard to control, and sometimes the jump button wasn't very responsive.
Nice pixleart and animations. I found there was a big difficulty spike at the first bunny+laser+hunger section. The jumping was quite tricky here and then dealing with hunger ontop it took me many attempts to get through it. Maybe another checkpoint needed at that part. Other than that I had no complaints, and enjoyed the game!
@kisann Oh damn. No idea why. What browser/platform did you play on?
Thanks everyone for playing and feedback.
@philarmon Unfortunately there's an audio issue with the web version for some people, but I think it all works in the windows version. Sorry about that.
You can't defeat the enemies, you just have to outrun and outmaneuver them! Thanks for playing.
@sztobar I did have more enemies planned but I ran out of time unfortunately. Thanks for playing it to the end anyway! :)
Interesting mechanic. I was very confused at first, but I got it after a few tries. Controls could be little tighter.
