Overall this is a pretty good entry. I especially like that the gameplay loop, the cards and how to play is clearly laid out, something that is quite hard to manage in such a short time for a card game like this. Music is great too. Overall, very well done!
Nice graphics and nice controls, I really liked the mood. The sword feels way to weak though and as a result you end up just trying to blast through the level while avoiding the enemies instead of fighting them. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.
This was pretty rad, music is great and the gameplay is addictive. The hit sound effect gets annoying quickly though, small thing but something to think about for next time! :)
Conceptually, this is pretty great. I like the two phases, the summoning of minions and everything. Execution wise, there's a lot of technical issues that ruin the experience. Everyone and everything getting stuck everywhere being the worst offender. All in all a good entry that could use a bit more polish.
Other than the floaty jumping which I didn't like I have no complaints, it looks good and feels good to play!
Not the biggest fan of clickers but this works! The humor is charming and clicking feels pretty good. It's a bit barebones but it gets the job done.
This is by far my favourite game so far this gamejam. The controls are great, the gameplay is innovative, the graphics are very nice and the music is fantastic. Really well done!
This was pretty good, the visuals, audio and controls are all on point. Some kind of sound effect when reloading would be nice so I don't have to take my eyes off juking aliens.
Like playing Harvest Moon only with a constant fear of slow, agonizing death due to starvation! My only complaint echoes what @hyperbian-games said, the auto-pickup is kinda annoying. Also, tilling an already tilled tile turning to grass gets old quick. Other than that, I really liked it! It hits a sweet spot between being stressful and fun.
The highlight of this game is graphics and sound for sure. Having to tap the movement keys endlessly gets old very quickly and the AI acts way too random to be considered interesting. Still, the presentation really sells it!
I'm so impressed by this game, the design feels incredibly trick, it looks great and is overall just a fantastic submission. Well done!
Great music, serviceable graphics and gameplay is fine although the aiming feels more annoying than something for balance.
Collision detection with the player's attack doesn't seem to work all that great, I couldn't hit goblins even when they were all up in my face so I was unable to get anywhere sadly.
I really like the mechanics and ideas behind this game. Controls feel tight and the visuals are unique and interesting. The lack of sound kinda kills the mood but other than that, top notch work.
I really liked the visual style and the slow pace fit the gameplay nicely. Only thing missing was better feedback for landing hits on the enemies. Well done!
Movement system felt a bit sluggish and the upgrade system (even if theme appropriate) just didn't feel worth it compared to just going straight into the core game, which I really enjoyed.
Pretty good, graphics are nice and the gameplay feels ok. Kinda hard to know if you hit the enemy or not, would be great with some better feedback.
Great controls, shooting feels pretty good but I wish I could shoot over "low" objects like stools or flipped over tables. Sadly the audio design really wrecks the great graphics, I couldn't deal with the sfx or music. Something to think about for next time!
This is my favourite of LD44 by far, it looks fantastic, is juicy and has a great mood. I didn't mind the balance but it could use some tweaking.
@bustosman I fully agree with both your points. There needs to be some kind of separation or obstacle that the player needs to overcome before going down the stairs, otherwise it turns into a speed run on the earlier levels at least :) And zambies are a bit dumb in their chasing behaviour, no doubt. Thanks for the feedback!
The artwork is fantastic, well done!
I rate this funky/10, that music was awesome. I would have liked a bit more challenge from the dudes walking back and forth, otherwise fun game!
I really like this one. My only complaint is the lack of feedback when hitting enemies or getting hit, makes the game feel way more "floaty" than it actually is considering controls are pretty tight.
The concept seems cool but the controls don't actually work well in a browser as they overlap with some default controls in Chrome. Holding ctrl + movement keys will mess pretty much everything.
I like the idea, with a bit more robust controls and randomization for the goblins it would be great. Good effort for a first try!
This was really nice, tossing things around with physics feels good and the animations are hilarious! I tried my best to toss a visitor into the goat pen but to no avail. I miss having sounds though, that would have taken it to the next level. Solid effort, I really like the concept!
Oh my lord I was not prepared for how disgusting that would be, I love it.
Lots of fun with the highlight being how the car handles! Drifting into conspiracy nutjobs has rarely been this satisfying!
Pretty cool to manage to cram some choice into a game in such a short timeframe, well done!
I love the interpretation of the theme and this entire thing honestly. Controls are tight and the gameplay overall just a lot uniqueness and fun to it. Well done!
Alright, so everything about this is just really beautiful. The music, the art and the story was very moving. Adding to that, the gameplay is crisp and engaging even if a little short. The addition of endless mode is a nice touch for that reason! My favourite so far by a good stretch.
YEEEET/10, hilarious! Very cool concept, you really feel like a paranoid Time Cop!
I wound up playing this waaay longer than I expected too. The execution is great, I especially like the sound effects that make it very satisfying to kill stuff!
Great concept, managed to get to level 15! An issue with the assymetric level is that it seems to be always optimal to place the goal just straight down from the player instantly as the level starts, then you'll mostly make it there before enemies can even reach you. Solid interpretation of the theme and as said, great concept overall :)
Really cute assembly of minigames but I couldn't for the life of me figure out the _first_ one with the fly?
10/10 would burn down the world again.
@noxbuds Wow, thanks for the very elaborate feedback! We will take a look at those number pads, thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for the feedback @sirllama, really appreciate it! It's not entirely obvious but if you hold right click you can move the camera around :) It only scrolls on the monitor on the first day so bit easy to miss sadly!
I really liked how fleshed out this is with both the wave defense, exploring the dungeon and even a boss fight! Very cool!
The concept is really good and I really like the implementation of the physics but it's too hard to distinguish between foreground and background which gets a bit frustrating after a while. Still, it's a very good game and a solid effort!
Managing your own space ship, with blackjack and hookers! It was a bit unclear what to do but lots of fun to explore what would happen when clicking around everywhere on the consoles! I even managed to grow my population a fair bit (although I'm not entirely sure it was all my doing).
It's a simple idea but the execution is fantastic. The controls are super tight and crisp. Also those faces are absolutely terrifying for some reason.
Very nice execution, the level design doesn't feel simple while not being overly punishing either. Well done!
Nice graphics, solid gameplay. It's sometimes hard to toss things that are at the edges, might have been better if you pulled the mouse in the direction you want to throw instead of the opposite. Either way, very well done!
Had some trouble vacuuming enemies and the blue guy was a real pain in the butt but in the end I managed to smack some undead basement dwellers!
Overall really good entry. Blowing up ghosts feels very satisfying. The only issue I encountered was that sometimes ghosts would spawn right next to a human and instantly kill them, which felt a bit unfair. Enjoyed the game, well done!

Great concept, if I would change anything then the light radius feels a tad too oppressive but other than that, really liked it! Well done!
My murder spree was hastily impeeded by what looked like a giant flaming pig but I'm not entirely sure. You can tell there was a lot of thought and effort put into this. My only complaint would be that combat feels a bit unresponsive so it's a good thing you added the text for when you land a hit! Well done overall!
I absolutely _loved_ the art and music in this submission. Throwing babies has rarely been this satisfying.
The start is quite slow but it builds a certain level of fear watching all those soldiers closing in on the queen. Would have wanted the start to be a bit faster and maybe that the difficulty ramped up a bit slower but overall, very nice!
I'll be honest and say I laughed when the first baby came flying. Overall it feels tight, maybe some momentum for the player movement would have been nice just to make it a little less "stop-and-go". Solid effort!
The highlight of this is how well you fit the level design with the music, every "drop" is accompanied by an appropriately intense section. Well done!
The style is fantastic and it feels pretty crisp to play as well since the train is so responsive to the controls, well done!
10/10, like driving in real life except everyone is more civilized. Jokes aside this is a very neat idea that is perfectly executed, well done!
I like the aesthetic and the concept. It feels a bit slow with the moving obstacles and they probably didn't need to be there to get the full experience but overall this was really fun, well done!
Kept going for a while but couldn't figure out if there is an actual exit condition? It gets pretty crazy with the huge zombies after a while, but I liked it. Nice art, nice sounds, overall a good experience, well done!
I'm very impressed by these, it felt very cohesive and well polished. The gameplay was really nice, feeling responsive and quite challenging (or I'm just bad, either way I had a good time!).
This manages to be bizarre, intense and quite a bit of fun. The style really comes together with the music, graphics and sound effects. The gameplay is nice, especially when you start chaining some really fat explosions with the exploding egg creature. I got a bit annoyed/confused by my minions sometimes seemingly just walking away to nowhere but with better placement they managed to be quite effective. I wish I had a bit more agency and/or urgency to gather stuff, as it stands I was able to mostly just spam eggs from a corner and go back in when all the enemies were dead. Overall this is a very solid entry with a cool style, well done :)
Enjoyable game, the music is what really sells it for me. I didn't quite understand when my train would break, i.e if I got a warning with just carts I seemed fine but then I suddenly lost for some not discernable reason, might have something to do with the break in the middle? Either way, really nice game!
Man it sucks to be the new guy! Very cool execution and feels very juicy. The initial encounter with the monster scared me to death, I loved it.
@antaresvaldemar Damn dude, I'm impressed, well done!
Also thanks to everyone for your lovely feedback!
Alright, I really enjoyed this one. The interpretation of the theme is on point, navigating through gravitational fields feels really good and the mood is on point, well done!
Great entry with good graphics, sound and gameplay. My only complaint would be that the gravity feels really finicky/unintuitive, never really got the hang of swapping between the outer edge of the map and the platforms.
I laughed so much the moment I took the first lunge I could barely continue playing, absolutely hilarious. This is by far my favourite entry into LD47, well done guys!
I like this, even though it's supposed to simulate monotony it manages to be varied with a multitude of different tasks, very nice!
Making a game with spooks for October instantly scores point for me, especially when you manage to be on theme as well! The best part is without a doubt chatting with the different characters, it's both charming and funny. I had a good time trying to get a truly Sp000py outfit, well done!
Calling this "action packed" would be a real understatement. Very cool, the controls are great and gameplay feels really crisp which is super important in this kind of game so very well done! My only gripe would be the zoom out, it's a bit to fast/jarring which makes it hard to use without disorienting yourself.
It feels a bit weird to come out at the top when you hit the bottom, an infinite scrolling implementation might have been a bit better. Even then the gameplay still feels nice. The mood is great, graphics are great and sound is great, very well done!
The graphics are charming and while the gameplay is a bit too traditional for my taste you can feel a lot of polish went into this. Overall a very solid entry!
This is absolutely brilliant, managing to be innovative and adhering this well to theme? Amazing. Really fun to play, it's a bit hard but that's fair I think. Well done!
Really clean entry with crisp gameplay, sweet visuals and nice audio. My only gripe would be that it's very hard to differentiate between levels, even when I was certain I had jumped into a different one I couldn't really tell what was different. Overall tho, really good job!
It took a while for me to realize why I was dying on the second obstacle, wasn't entirely obvious that I was supposed to press a sequence of buttons there. But once I figure that out it was smooth sailing, well done!
Mouse is a bit too sensitive, kinda hard to get used too. I fell through the world every time I tried to cross the pit so I couldn't finish it which was a shame because I really liked what I saw! Very cool idea for a puzzle game, well done!
Pretty subtle but I like it. Kinda miss having a bit more feedback on success/failure, like some screen shake or whatever. Overall solid effort, well done.
This was super cool, the combination of managing your miners at the same time as you can't stand still with the drill for too long is very fun. I kinda wish the moody tone from the intro would've been in there with the gameplay too, it's a bit jarring with the music change. But that's just a small thing, overall, great effort, well done! :)
I like it, the ships is fun to strafe around with to blast others into oblivion. My main gripe would be the background that is too dense with stars so when the camera moves you get a "jittering" feeling which is really distracting. Overall a solid effort, well done! :)
This is super smooth, I really liked it. Great sound, great music, controls are really crisp. I don't really have any negatives that I could find, well done!
Took me a while to figure out the AI that followed you when jumping and stuff but once I got that it was really cool. Music was really moody and great, well done!
Enjoyed exploring this one, kept looking for the guy in the cactus suit hoping he would be around. The meta humor was very entertaining as well, good job!
I had a hard time understand where I was supposed to go but the idea of this character just being so unstable, going ham on his environment was pretty cool in terms of storytelling. Well done!
I didn't expect to be roasted like this when I started this game.

Fed a cloned gorilla peanuts and cocaine, accidentally turning it invisible and probably causing Planet of the Apes in the long run, 10/10.
@evangreenwood thanks for the kind words! We actually played Poopy Parker the other day and had a grand time, absolutely hilarious!
And big thanks to everyone else as well for their comments and feedback!
Very solid gameplay, trying to be strategic swapping between targets, dodging for upgrades, really enjoyed it!
It's hard to say no to synthwave. I liked the random effects, if I were to criticize anything it's that the controls feel a bit floaty. Other than that, good job!
Well the name sure is fitting, that's about all I've got to say about this one.
I love this, the puzzles are fun and strike good balance in difficulty. Moving boxes feels satisfying and seeing them fall over looks nice so it doesn't hurt too much that you just lost the level. Overall, very well done!
I like it, it's a cool concept traveling through different worlds to get new mechanics. Wish there was a little bit more variety but such is gamejams, well done!
Screenshot 2021-10-04 231005.png I chickened out at the end but I felt good up until then! Fun game, always a good time to pile shit on top of itself to see how far you can go!
Really like the concept, trying to balance between shooting and moving was a lot of fun. The graphics and sound felt cohesive, overall very well executed!
I kinda wish there were a few more mini-games/mechanics because the mood is really on-point, you just wanna have an excuse to keep running around in this space ship, well done.
I think this is very well done, it's satisfying trying to balance the bears as good as possible then watch them scoot over the water. Nicely done!
Felt good to zap some particles, kinda wished I could look around a bit to make it feel a bit more dynamic but overall I really enjoyed it, solid!
I like it, simple but very clean. Overlay some nice beats and you've got a real banger.
Great twist on a classic concept and I really enjoyed the humor, well done.
I think this is great, my only grip is having to start from the beginning when I fail which is a bit annoying.
