pico8 gang! classic theme interpretation and done very nicely, also very nice art and music!
mastermind idea to delegate some work to your son. the game feels very polished and has great mood, lovely entry you have here!
pico gang! what a beauty this game is! challenging and super cute, loved it!
the music itself makes every minute worth! very nice game, my only complain is that I was fighting againts health bars as I couldn't see the foes in the shadows. very well polished and great interpretation of the theme, great entry!
the tutorial doesn't work for me neither, but other asects of the game are super polished, you can be very proud of yourselves. music is a nice nod to stardew valley.
really appretiate when games don't take themselves too seriously, you got the jokes both in text and visually, nice job!
pico gang! well polished game, love the setting sun as we get faster. could totally see play it again later on, this stuff is addictive
had fun with it, very nice mood with the visuals and music and it makes this quite frustrating genre very relaxing for me. it's a great jam game!
round bear gang! very enjoyable fishing game with a unique mechanic. great job!
nice puzzle game. the art is cute, the music is very nice, overall a great entry! the addition of level editor is such a great tool! never despised mint so much in my life than in this game
i wasn't expecting a zombie survivor game looking at this chute artwork, but oh boyo. great work!!
how cute and addictive game! very nice entry
I'm a bit conflictied with the graphics as I would have loved to have some more of these very nice drawing. the game could take more, but what is done is done amazingly. the narrative is done very nicely though, the mood is stellar.
very nice art style, love the idea and the implementation.
great fun! the art is super nice, the upgrades come in perfect time and the climbing mechanic is very nicely done. great jam entry!
really enjoyed the controlls, leaving the orbits in a perfect angle is sooo satisfying. had fun with this entry!
nice chill game with very relaxing music and gameplay. it was fun, great entry!
this is great fun, spent way more time with it thatn expected beforehand. got stuck at lvl 5 but I don't think that's the game's fault. nice one!
very enjoyable game, the 15 minutes it took me to complete it felt like 5. great entry!
well polished and very original take on the theme. enjoyed the story, the hints are well balanced and to include a cheat command to help those who stuck shows the understanding of the goal of games in general as well. very nice entry by itself, and the fact it's a compo game just makes it even better!
pico gang! nice little game, great effort to make a rhythm game in pico. it's a fun entry
nice puzzle game, with great music and vibes. very original take on the theme and I'm all here for it!
this game is super addictive, super fun, really enjoyed every second of it! great job!
had a blast with it again

it's a very funny and engaging game, really glad I stumbled upon it. the textbox have a minor issue when I click it shows some different text for a few frames. It's not ruining anything immersion or gameplay-wise though. Well written characters (at least those who you could finish), would love to play with a bit more developed version later on.
very impressive game! plays great, looks great, hell even the music is super nice! also double jump and spidermaning is super satisfying. very well made, great job!
great level design and difficulty curve. played couple of more levels then originally planned to, so kudos!
I loved the art style! Wish the game had music, but other aspects of it are so well polished it was a good call to prioritize the gameplay. super good entry!
what else would you need from a game this one can't provide? stellar voice acting, hilarious jokes, living and breathing world. thank you for this experience!
haha, feels great that few seconds I was able to survive. but the art and tools are very creative, fun little game
with a bit of polish this could be heaps fun. always appretiate games not taking themselves too seriously.
very nicely done horror game. not a huge fan of the genre but still tried it with headphones and got my nerves pretty high very fast. the art style is amazing, the atmoshphere is on point, and the audio is one of the best in the entire jam. such great entry!
my braindead self could not kill the istincts of smashing space so I did fall to death soo many times. wish I could try it with a controller. other than that it's a nicely done game, the mechanic is very creative
what an atmosphere! the combat worked well once I got a feel on it. the music is one of the best I heard so far in this jam.
love the idea, very nice theme interpretation and atmosphere! I don't know what am I doing wrong but [space] doesn't work for me so I got stuck after literally 5 secs. hope to check this entry again in a more polished form.
great art and music, the overal mood of this game is super nice. big fan of the turn based strategy game direction you went to. as others wrote, it's not super self explanatory, but once you get it is fun!
i like the twist you had on the idea of a moving farm, would love a bit more lore it has great potential. very muck liked the artstyle as well

@fromage it shouldn't be an excuse, but tbf english is our second language and we didn't have time to proof read the story with a native speaker during the 72h jam. nonetheless thanks for the feedback and the positive words!
@kastaff @ferelily @porcus-pie we tested the hitbox growth but it made the planet consuming super fast and we wanted to keep the pace to have the players some time to float around, so it was a deliberate choice at the end. thank you for the feedback and the love for the game!
@danmerey thanks for the feedback, we tried our best with figuring out the layering issues and hopefully with some more time we can polish it. glad you enjoyed the animations and this pico game! _______________ anyways we'd like to show our appretiation for all of you guys and your feedback with this unofficial free Kratos skin! thanks, what a great jam LD is!

is it possible to throw the yams the other direction? I failed to find it unfortunately :( the visuals and the atmosphere of the game is pretty neat though, great job!
pico gang! I really enjoyed this tower defence game, well done! would love to see more lvls
so much fun! this game is amazing, funny, looks great and the music is next level. really addictive as it pumps up my competitiveness haha. stellar job!
as a fellow, middle of nowhere, open air, techno enthusiast I adore this game!
Great atmosphere, the art was cute and worked great together with the amazing music. Apart from losing life sometimes without the tenticles reaching me I had fun. and I always rate when a game let me take care of my pet.
looks awesome, plays great, what a nice game you have here!
pico gang! very enjoyable game with lovely attention to detail, congrats! didn't expect to spend as much time with it as I initially did.
lovely chill puzzle game, you delivered on what you aimed for. very nice entry especially from a solo dev
this game is so much fun! the controll and animation of the harvesting light picking up humans is super satisfying. played multiple rounds, really enjoyed every second of it. well done!
nice tower defense game, the art looks so nice (especially like the weasel design)! it starts a bit difficult, maybe a bit bigger hitbox for the clicks would help it. other than that it's a fun little game, glad I tried it
pico gang! I'm super impressed, the mood and art of this game is crazy good. It's hard to think what could be improved because you executed what I feel you aimed for very well, and that's a very important part of a jam game as well. especially appreciate the ability curve. great job!
very nice tetris like game. "of course gravity exists". very fun to play with, and the music is sooo catchy. what a nice game you have!
it's quite challenging but a very well made game. so many little details fit into this, how did you pull it off in 3 days? amazing job! great atmosphere and combat
nice puzzle game. the art is beatiful.. the puzzles were a bit overwhelming as the game doesn't explain much and it takes an effort from the player to do them, but that makes them rewarding. still, a tutorial would make this game much more approachable I feel. great job nonetheless!
pico gang! very nice graphics with the variety of pizzas and the 3d-ish effects. nice, smooth transition from the title screen to the actual game as well. aiming is not perfect but I take it as part of the pico8 experience. great job!
pico gang! very nice and fun game. took me few minutes to understand the basic mechanics but after it plays so well. great job!
so polished game for a jam entry, it's crazy good. I think the only thing what would improve it would be a very shot, basic tutorial, but it doesn't take that long to figure out what's up. Very nicely done!
so glad I stumbled across this game, one of the best atmosphere in the jam even tho I'm not a huge fan of the horror genre. the art is superb, the gameplay feels great, amazing job!
I find drawing isometric pixel art characters quite challenging and I think you hit it out of the park with this one using a limited palette. Very well done!
looks and plays amazing, very well done! you set yourself a challenge and won it by miles! so many details I love about this, the art, the fact it's completly 2D, the voices, the feel of the controls. great, great job!
nice COMPO entry, the controls feel very smooth. the colorswitch mechanic is a nice twist, great job!
pico gang! the multipliers are very cool mechanics, really made me involved until around 4000 points. if I could add something, that'd be to have some negative effect sheeps (black sheeps perhaps) to make the player avoid something as well not just collect the sheeps. but to be fair it is really fun to collect them. great job!
this is rather a tool than a game, but a fun one. appreciate it, thanks man!
Drug dealing jam game gang unite!
very nicely done, it's so polished and innovative. the art and music of the game really adds to the mood as a whole. I personally think making a fun puzzle platformer is very challenging as it could very quickly turn into some repetitive mess, be you did a great job not to fall into that. great great game!
pico gang! amazing entry, really fun to play with and I appreciate the graphics as well. the game feels very smooth, bit frustrating, yes, but that's what makes it rewarding. great job!
the scope of this game is super impressive for a jam entry. the music and art is next level as well. the gameplay gets a bit repetitive after a while but all the little details make it fun to play and manage the squad. nice job!
I only had some trouble with the camera controls but the game itself is super impressive and chill. the art is 5/5 without a question. great entry!
haha such a fun game! arrived with an empty cart first, but managed to deliver the hammer and anvil the second (the last part was tricky though). it's dumb in the best way, good job!
nicely done, this game is surprisingly addictive. love the difficulty curve and the addition of new mechanics lvl by lvl. nice job!
tbf I'm not a huge fan of horror games but this entry seemd very well thought out so I gave it a try and didn't disappoint. very nice job! the hearth of this game, the atmosphere works very well and I think you delivered a great game for the jam. great job!
I played longer than anticipated, so that tells you something. Once you max out the bike section upgrades, the city upgrades feel more like an idle game, than a managment one. Maybe some random events or anything that would mix it up a bit would help, but anyways it was fun!
this game gotta win the audio category at least. so well done, the flow of the first guy is pretty sick as well. such a chill and nice adventure, really enjoyed it. love me some catamine
huge fan of pixel art, and what you delivered here (pun unintended) is gorgeous. especially that opening shot of the building itself, woow. tbf the mass of demons were a bit overwhelming for me, but I enjoyed the the overall experience. well done, feels like you had fun in this jam
the sfx is one of the best i came upon so far in this jam, great job! controls are a bit clunky especially the jump physics, but ovarall it's a pretty fun game, nice job!
wooow, the failed arrow fx is gruesome, but the game itself is pretty fun. nice job! what more can I say, it is what it wants to be, and I'm all here for it! nice job!
pico gang! wooow, so much narrative for a pico game, amazing what you pulled off. it's really well put together, wish I could rate it.
so good game this is. had a blast with it, it's super fun. the box dropping felt a bit random, but I probably missed some clues. really like the unapologetic old granny. great, great game!
it's a super fun tower defense game with some pretty nice art as well. I was a bit overwhelmed at the beginning as the game as it starts fast, but once I get into rhythm it was fun to play. if I have to nitpick something that could be improved, the hitbox on the soldiers was a bit awkward but there is a high chance playing with touchpad is not the best setup for this game haha. great entry!
the music and art are sublime but that jump sfx is tough to live with. other than that it's a very nice entry, was really fun to play with it, great job!
appreciate the Futurama reference! this gam works so well, it doesn't reinvents the wheel, but very polished and has great game feel. nice job! the art is super nice as well
cute little pixel art adventure. nice one!
as it was said before, this game works pretty well as an idle game. looks pretty good and very easy to understand, I think you balanced it very nicely. great job!
pico-gang! nice puzzle game. the difficulty cure is a bit steep but I really appreciate the tutorial and the multiple levels you built for this game. well done!
some indicators on the tiles would be nice, or some limitation on the growth. the idea itself is pretty nice but it's not a game imho as it is. i could see it in a museum as an interactive tool to teach about roots.
it's crazy the art is created by MidJourney. nice job with the prompts! the game itself is kinda addictive as well, was trying to figure out the best patterns. nice job!
