This was a really fun game, absolutely loved the look and design of the game. I did wish there was a way to more precisely shoot or see your setting from the previous shot so it was easier to improve at levels. So much polish for a compo game great job!
While my 5:05 time might not stand up in the number 2 position for long, I was giggling the whole way through, nice work.
Nice, I enjoyed the having to remember the maze and using the fireflies to navigate your way around! I think a couple extra sound effects for when you pickup and throw items would go a long way and maybe a little bit more descriptive of an end screen but overall great job!
Pretty neat game, feel very chaotic trying to keep up with all the incoming orders, and while I wasn't able to make rent did at least get a good number of orders out. While I think some balance tweaks might help by starting even slower and than ramping up the orders once you get a few fully under your belt, you did a great job getting this finished and out!
I liked this interpretation and had a good time playing it. Wish you could click on another pod directly instead of exiting but other than that great work!
Nice this was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed this one. The core mechanics are really solid and feel great. Could see this with a little bit of refinement and added detail getting really addicting! Hope to see more great job getting this in the compo!
Nice work! Great job getting this together! It played pretty well, I kept having to remind myself that the arrow was the wind direction but I eventually got used to it. The movement of the boat is a little stiff and I think with some easing of the motions could really help it feel like it was a boat on the water. Overall I had fun and think you did great!
Really nice, love the art style in this and the setup is simple and effective. Gameplay feels good and thoughtful and has a nice replay value from the random gen. While I wish maybe there was an occasional bonus inside the boxes it may be a good thing their empty so I don't feel the need to get every box as well. Great work all together this was a lot of fun!
I like the original take on the gameplay pushing the robots around and great music! I will say the robots bouncing so fast and unpredictably did make dying frequent and hard to strategize and get into a groove playing but really fun idea and great job getting it done!
Nice! This was a really adorable game. I really liked the artstyle, it fits the gameplay well. While there was a couple collision points where I got stuck for a bit over all played really well and had a great time collecting cats!
Nice job, love the intro and the graphics and sound worked out great. Wish there was a little more variation or moves to maybe get but a pretty fun game altogether I had a great time playing good job!
Nice vibes and a great looking entry. I think it's a fun little piece but get's a little slow at some points of just watering and waiting. I think a fun addition might be if you had to walk a decent distance to get water for your can to water the plants. Overall great job getting all this done and entered into the jam!
That was fun. I managed to beat the game as well! I will say having something to ease into it a little better so you don't just die a few time until you start getting the lay of the land so some guidance at the start would be helpful. The controls were a little loose and I got stuck on things often. I loved the artstyle of the game, the music, and the idea. Panicked running around while frantically trying to search every room for what I need was a lot of fun! I think a little polish and this would be a really good little game!
This is a fun idea for a game, a nice little mix of moving and punching, though once I figured out I could just hold the mouse buttons down and wiggle around it did get very easy, so you may look at having a version where you can only click to move your arms so than it's a little more frantic clicking around trying to keep your hands up. Nice job finishing for the jam!
A good little puzzle box, got stuck on one but I have a feeling I'll be back for more.
Really nice game! Love the artwork and the music track. The game play loop felt really nice slowly expanding and growing. Wish there was a few more sound effects but overall great job! I can see myself coming back to this one for sure.
Loved the art, and the feel of the gameplay and difficulty balance worked really well for me. Felt good to play. Music and the sound fit the style and mood great and was never grating. Good work!
Great work! Absolutely adored the art style and enjoyed the nice chill game. I wish the music loop was a bit longer as it got pretty repetitive before beating the game but over adored that art style and how it looked and the chill vibes.
This is a lot of fun, and I really like the art style of it. Great sound and feedback with the gun and like the kind of defending of the bridge to see how long you can last.
While for most of the game you can simply hold up, it might be a fun mechanic if your character moves up automatically and forcing you to balance your shooting speed or else you fall back over the edge working sort of like a timed reload and seeing how close to the edge your willing to get to get that last shot in.
Overall I had a lot of fun with it, managed to get 98, might have to come back and try and break 100 sometime! Don't know what those pink things flying around where but they did manage to add a nice freaky vibe to the proceeding. Great work!
I kept from rating you in a number of categories as I ran into a bug I could not seam to remedy. As soon as I start the game it constantly veers to the left and up making it so I could never get down to chop some heads. I tried redownloading and had no luck. The idea seams really fun and hilarious and I hope to give it a try later and hopefully it will work! Great job on getting a game in the jam!
A bit difficult to parse what I'm supposed to be doing and what things do even with the tutorial, might be helpful to have some early levels start smaller and simpler to introduce some of these elements more slowly. The art style, feel, and sound of the game is all fantastic. Great design and I like the concept of it too. I look forward to playing it again sometime.
This was a lot of fun! Can't not mention the absolutely wonderfull music loop which never got old during my entire playthrough. Managed to get that white square too! I think having some type of pop up or audio when you finally reach there would make it feel more like an accomplishment. The only other note is by the time I was near the end holding my mouse down so long on the circle factory got tiring, an option to toggle on "Auto Buy" that would just keep purchasing as long as it was selected would be a nice addition to help save peoples fingers. Other than that I had a lot of fun. Great Job!
Thanks for the recommendations @hawkin! and definitely enjoyed this one. Really liked the narrative, the way it was played out and the reveal at the end. Liked the voice acting as well! A real bummer that you all didn't finish in time but you still ended up with a pretty cool game at the end. I will say having a little bit more oxegen at the start might be helpful as if you do any wandering at all before unlocking Building C you will die. Ran pretty well for me the only little glitch I noticed was when the locked door for the back room of Hab. B opens the text prompt saying the door is locked will still show up where the door used to be. All in all had a lot of fun and great job!
Haha ridiculous and made me laugh. Would kill for a "Number of organs gathered" counter
Really straight forward but fun game, with some nice polish on it. The tanks were a little challenging to try and avoid or find a way to approach but overall gameplay felt pretty good. The music fits great, would love to see a way to destroy the tanks (drop rocks on them?) but again overall great job!
Love all the characters and designs in this one, audio was nice too! Love the tile movement though the combat was a little challenging to figure out what was going on and it felt a bit like the camera is a bit off center from where you are. Other than that had a good amount of fun with this one and great job getting this in the jam!
Such a great relaxing time, really enjoyed playing this one. Would love to see it expanded even more with more voice acting and more plants. Fantastic little strategy game!
This was really fun! Great mood and I liked the upgrade system. Difficulty felt well balanced and the shooting and controls were easy to use. Great work getting this all done and in the jam! Want to explore more worlds collecting gems!
Nice, I like how this game felt and like the core loop of collecting all these items. I think there's some great potential here, having a larger or other spaces to explore, terrain and locations that you need certain upgrades to be able to go to (swamps, something to protect you from cold and heat etc.) Visually I really like the look of the game, giving things a couple frames of animation would really take it up a notch though in bring it all together. Overall great job and I enjoyed it!
This is a cute little game. I really like the idea of prepping and growing all your food/weapons to prepare for a boss rush at the end with different plants having different power and taking different times to grow. It did feel pretty easy to get lost and having some sort of feedback whether a color change or some reaction when you hit an enemy would be great. Overall good job and congrats on getting a game in the Jam!
Had a pretty good time with this one, the helpful cheat sheet image was definitely needed to make sure I was getting everything done. Sadly although I brought probably upward of ten ideas to the space ship nothing seemed to be changing or progress made, not sure how many you need to fix it but loved the sound, music and art style of the game. I think making the battery last a little longer at first while you're figuring things out could be helpful. Great premise and shows a lot of potential. Nice work!
Nice, I feel the core gameplay idea here is really nice! I think the controls could use a little work as even in just the time I played my middle finger started to get tired on the mouse being used so much. But a little polish to the gameplay to go with the fantastic music and visuals and I think this could be really fun!
Great game had a lot of fun playing this one. Adore the design of the dragon and watching the tiny people fly across the screen. While the map and castle rank does a good job of keeping things interesting it wasn't always clear what was going on there. Overall though great job, will definitely be playing again and hope there's some post jam upgrades because that was a lot of fun!
What a fantastic little game. Great job on the music too, didn't get tired of it the whole time I played. Really love the overview and moving the villagers around to their tasks very satisfying. Could see having this up in a window during work haha. Great job!
Took a little bit to find out the controls, but was able to eventually get it all and succeeded in beating the game. The controls where a little floaty but the game had a really good vibe and mood to it. The look was nice feeling very dark and eerie. I think a little more guidance in the game about what you're doing could be helpful but good job getting this finished in time!
Plays nice, really like the combo of cards than the dice roll for power. The pause in the game during it builds some nice tension before the big release of your move. Little more audio polish in this I think would also really make it come alive even more. Great job!
Not bad, had some glitch where the music kept looping and adding over itself so it got a little overwhelming. I think the gameplay idea of harvest and than spawning knights to attack the castle is fun, took me a little bit to figure out what I was doing, but once I got there it's a fun little combat loop to get into!
Fantastic music and nice back and forth gameplay, though it felt like no matter one I did for all the two buttons at once ones I couldn't get them. Collecting pollen and dancing like made. The game looked great and the artwork was adorable. Great entry!
I enjoyed this one! Scored a solid 295 ears of corn. The art style really worked with the vibe and while I think a few added sound effects for when the cannon balls and corn fall would be fun, still really fun.
Really fun game you made here, love the back and forth scouting and using the tools to try and defend the digger. Would be interested to see how you could add some variety to the gameplay in the future to keep it going longer but overall really fun game great job!
Lots of fun, such a fun concept, extremely polished and great gameplay. Was a little hard to get the tile bonuses but overall was just fantastic fun!
Looks great, never thought I'd be panic sprinting and hopping over tables of plants trying to gather resources for the boss. Apologies to my delighted boss Andrew.
That was fun, a nice little core loop and enjoyed the chaos of the mess of things getting all overt the screen. Really liked the design of the evil carrots too. Really made me want some more types of upgrades to keep playing. Nice work getting this done and in!
This was a lot of fun, really fun unique idea and I loved the look and sound of the game as well. The stereo effect is pretty rough to get even with the windows download without headphones or widely spread speakers so I think an option for those who need it of a subtle visual indicator of which direction sound is coming from would be great for more people to play. Overall really enjoyed using my ears to find and ovoid things and great job getting this made!
The first puzzle was a little crazy but once in I had a great time, extremely funny and very well done. Had a blast playing. The login hints helped a bit it was mostly just hard to actually find the objects with my eyes. Great work overall lots of fun!
What a lovely little game. Took me a second to realize I could pick each individual season and I was longing a little bit for some nice chill background music. No matter though, I had a great time playing and will likely come back to this one. Good work!
Great job, music was fantastic and looked beautiful. Scaled well to be able to put a lot of polish on it and it showed. Fantastic mood and vibes. Wish the camera had a little more control or some more careful framing in a couple spots to make it clear where to go but overall Really nice!
Overall a delightful game. Wasn't able to use the F key to bring up the menu in the webgl version for some reason. Great game loop and so much fun to play. The art work is wonderful and I immediately fell in love with it. Fantastic work!
Haha, lots of good stuff here, the fiddly frantic feeling of trying to line up the scissors was great and something that could be leaned into. Lots of franatic key presses lol. A little more polish and feedback animation on the cuts and this could feel really good. Great work!
Interesting game for sure, was fun trying to find the clues in their social media profiles and move in, but the timer felt pretty aggressive and often challenging to beat especially on your first go when you're learning what to do. Really unique use of AI which got the content in there but felt pretty bland trying to find them out as a person, could be a great tool for filling out secondary characters while getting a story in on these characters would make it more engaging. Great work getting this done and a really unique experience and would love to play a polished full game version of this one day!
That was a lot of fun! Great job getting this done. I think having the stamina gathering count more would make it more effective and I like the idea you mentioned i the comments on different bonuses. One thing that would help would also be letting the stamina bar grow larger so you can see you growth progress in the game as well. Overall had a lot of fun with our mouse friend, and it felt great to play. Can't wait for the sequel to see what Larry is up to now!
A nice little game, I like the day night mechanic and harvesting. Took me a little bit to figure out what all the plants do but I eventually got there. I think a couple fun additions might be plants that can hurt the enemies or light up at night but overall pretty fun. Great job getting this in the jam!
Fantastic pixel art and love the look of it. The core idea is really fun too! If you wanted to take it further I think having missed cuts and sews show up on the cloths and than giving you an accuracy score at the end would be hilarious to see the mangled remains of the clothes you "fix" after the storm. A little sound in there as well and I think it would be a pretty great little game! Great concept, I enjoyed it!
Delightfully unique and a fun take on a reverse tower defense. Love playing as these little bugs and the drag mechanic gave a great feel of coaxing the creatures to do what you want rather than command them despite the occasional frustration at getting them around some corners. Had a great time would love to play more!
This was pretty fun, really like the graphics style and idea of the game. Difficulty was very high making it hard to get much of a flock, often times not making it past the 60 second mark. One thing I did notice was the player doesn't always face the direction the camera is facing making it sometimes confusing why I'm not hitting someone I'm standing next too. Strong style and a fun core idea. Not sure if I ran into a glitch or not but I did reach day negative 3 so there is that as well. Great work!Screenshot 2023-01-15 130242.jpg
Took me a couple tries to figure out how to be able to survive and make some money at the start was finally able to beat the game though! Pretty fun little tower defense game and I enjoyed the mechanic of harvesting your own weapons to earn money. A little to tough right at the start but great job getting something done and in for the jam I had fun!
Took me a while before people would show up but it was nice gathering the zombi army even I never felt like I really could understand when they would turn and wouldn't. Wish there were some more variations and things to change it up but great job getting all this done in time for the jam!
Took me a bit to figure out all the mechanics but this is a fun little game and right up my alley. I liked the combo of not just trying to mine and gain power but also trying to pick the right time when the price was high to sell the gas at. It gave it a fun reactionary dimension I enjoyed. It left me wanting more, maybe some upgrades you could purchase and layers to give it some more to do during gameplay, add some music and sound and I could see this being a game I would return to repeatedly when I needed a chill time during the day.
Unfortunately it kept crashing on me so I wasn't able to get through all the levels. I see the concept of this one and what I could play felt nice, and really like the audio details and the aesthetic of the artwork. Hopefully will get a chance to come back if there is a polished build that comes out for this one.
This was great and an impressive accomplishment. Lots of fun to play and the visual and audio design is top notch. A lot of fun to play and I can see myself coming back to play this again. Did a really good job slowly introducing mechanics to the players and teaching them how to play, it worked perfectly. Nice!
Nice job, while definitely a prototype I can definitely see the potential of this one coming together to have a flourishing moon farm.
Very fun game and felt really good to drive. Saw the intention of putting in the grand prix mode which sounds like a blast. I think that a little wider view might help for once you get up to full beans speed but overall had a really fun time playing it. Great work!
Great music and feels great to play. Definitely leaves me wanting more, great work!
Great job on getting your first jam in! That's wonderful! I really enjoyed the art style and look to this one. I think the core idea of the game is a lot of fun though could really use some more feedback on what was happening so I have a little bit more of an idea of when and how much to sacrifice as playing it felt more random than me accomplishing things. The idea though I think is a lot of fun, a little tweaking and some feedback to the player, add some music and sounds and you'd have a great little game! Congrats on your first Jam and getting a running game turned in !!
Fantastic job this was a blast to play, ran great and such a fun concept. That difficulty spike at the third wave really got me and I think I found a bug where I tried opening the purchase weapon menu before I started a wave and was stuck in the menu and had to restart. Over looked great, played great, sounded great, fantastic work!
Had a good time, I like the tension of trying to push everyone back to be able to take the time to absorb the soul. With a little balance tweaking and some sound design this could become a pretty nice one!
Great music and gameplay, felt really polished. Could see this easily grown into a fun fullsize game great job!
Absolutely fantastic work, such fun trying to keep that sandwich perfectly balanced, and an incredible level of polish a truly impressive accomplishment!
The flight/rest combo was fun here, even if it needed some really precise flying. Would love to have played more levels which can only mean good things!
Nice polished feel, and a fun take on everything. Great art style, gonna have to get a second controller and play with my wife later!
Had a blast with this one, really cool core gameplay and enjoyed the discovery of mixing and seeing what we could get. Could really see an idle game version of this I would keep up in a window at work. Fantastic job!
Really impressive work, such a dramatic ending, controls felt good, art work was beautiful and music hit the tone perfectly. Fantastic work by all involved!
Very nice work, great take on the theme and loved the tardigrades run animation. Awesome vibe.
Fun little management game, though a little hard to find get it out of balanced. Really like being able to zoom in and see the little friends smiling faces, Nice work!
Ooooh this one feels great and an impressive amount of polish as well! Trying to optimize you build while running is very fun and I can see this becoming a really great game. I would love to see it if your fireball and healing power were tied to the board and if the board pieces slowly unlocked as you defeated enemies, forcing you each time to use the pause button and build up your gear in steps. Fantastic job will be coming back to play more!
Very chill vibes, can see a bit of where you were hoping to take it, but even just trying to maximize my score at the end was fun! Nice work!
A great little game, loved the vibes and was surprised by the spider! Those kittens were perfectly tiny.
Animation and mood of the visuals were really nice. Took me a few tries but I got the cheese!
Delightful music and had me laughing throughout! Great job!
Nice work! Truly delightful. Even with the simple graphics the gameplay felt really good. The dynamics of the ants only being able to group so large and move so fast made it very fun.
Managed to get a few shots in but a challenging game! Really like the battle in the bathtub idea, nice work!
@killofox Thanks! Running around the woods taking photos and doing 3D scans was a very different start than our previous game jam, but was so much fun!
@jaycee-sandvig Thank you! It was a blast to make, and we definitely are going to spend time on it post jam, I had a lot of character animation that didn't get it in and we had to cut a whole character to get it done on time, so definitely will be finishing it up and polishing in the next few weeks.
So much fun, animation setup looks great and so much fun to play! Added on itch to keep track if there's any updates, nice work!
Really great little game, I also loved the secret mushroom party. Some of the platforming was a bit challenging near the end but overall it felt really good!
Nice! I loved the vibe of this game, and while there were some glitches (lasers on the small bots stuck on) I really like the top down perspective and look of the map. Would love to see a little more clarity on which side of the tank is the front just for navigation reasons, but I like the Tank RTS hybrid idea, really cool!
Really like the direction of the art style on this. I know some things weren't finished but the backgrounds were great and the little pink bunny was a delight to come across. Couldn't play for too long as I was starting to get a bit motion sick from the locked camera, but very cute nice job getting something together!
Cute game, nice and got stressful quick switching back and forth. Nice job finishing something for the jam!
Fun little game, although a little challenging had a great time playing and frantically fighting off all the bugs!
