A deep concept for storytelling. I like the attention to detail where you can hear the negative voice hidden behind the positive voice. The dark level does feel very long, especially if you can't find the trophies. Good music and good graphics.
The game started pretty relaxingly, I do like the different variations of plants that have their own behavior. But after a few minutes, I just started spawning plants. I was expecting a bit more from the XP system: acts like a way to expand your garden or unlock more plants instead of a scoring system.
Overall: Pretty cozy game with nice-looking aesthetics.
One of the more unique and funny concepts I've seen. I never imagined I would play a doom game where you shoot skeletons with organs to collect organs in a jam about harvest. The animation was really good. The weapons did feel a bit unbalanced, the heart and stomach were considered the meta. Having a marker on the screen would help players aim better at the skeletons.
Overall: A great and funny entry.
The puzzles on the box really spiked up in difficulty. From inserting the code to playing the sounds in a specific order. I wished it would tell me what the order should be. The graphics were very simple and not a lot of harvest was seen, besides the ground, water, grass, and sun you win from doing the puzzles.
Overall: An okay little puzzle box.
Wasn't the biggest fan of the humor. Pressing E on the sign to instantly skip it made me not want to read all the signs. I liked the graphics of the game and the environment. Wasn't really sold on the story: felt a wee bit random, but maybe that was what you were going for.
Overall: Decent game, but not really my cup of tea.
A nice and wholesome game where you just collect carrots. I did wish the player would walk a little bit faster than the current speed. The music was nice to listen too and I loved the cutesy art style.
Overall: A very good game with a nice game loop.
I really enjoyed this game. One of the better submissions from this jam. I find the idea very original and unique, having the tooth fairy sell candy during the day that affects how many teeth the tooth fairy can collect at the night. the only request I have is I wished there be a time bar that would show how much time you have left during both the day and night cycles.
Overall: An amazing entry, great job on this. Love to see more of this.

I liked the concept of the core game loop. The controls were a bit iffy for me, there were times when a carrot was near the entrance and I wanted to grab the carrot but instead I went down the cave. I really like the carrot mechanic; having players grow a power-up that will help them explore deeper into the cave without hurting them.
A really great game.
Note: I realized that the super crystal gives the orange particles and thus gives the player an indicator of where to explore. Tip is for anyone who still needs to play this game.
A nice game with a decent game loop. The graphics were a bit glitching for me. A progression bar would've been nice to show the player how far they are into filling all the jars.
Overall: A really good entry.
The game is a nice and relaxing thinking game where you have to figure out the ingredients. It was initially confusing about exactly what I needed to do, but it was a pretty nice game when I figured it out. I'm not entirely sure about the toxic barrels, mostly about how to get rid of them without losing my progression bar.
Overall, a pretty decent and relaxing game.
I'm not the biggest fan of not collecting my ammo in order for a chicken to hatch. I get the idea of it, but in a situation where I'm swarmed by a lot of ladybugs, I would rather focus on killing them than hatching chickens. I do like the graphics and the controls feel nice.
Overall: A decent entry
The camera was a bit too sensitive for my taste. Having the button to skip the dialogue be the same as using your hands can lead to players accidentally skipping the text and make them not know what they have to do next. I couldn't get past the ufo since I always jumped over it and missed the red circle.
I did enjoy the Human fall flat physics and the story of the game.
I like the concept of the game and the pixelart. Like others have said, the game is rather difficult considering how fast the organs and the patients die.
Overall: Decent, but difficult game.
I really love the designs for all the summonable monsters. I wish there was a bit more combat and a bit more fluid animation transitions as the animations felt a bit stiff. The loop became a bit bland afterward, but I still wanted to see all the other monsters, so that's good! Really fun!
I like the interactivity of this game, it feels like you're actually part of the conversation and the different dialogue it can have makes it very interactive. I love this, keep it up. Also the ending tho.
It was a very cute game with an interesting mechanic of summoning frogs and goats. At one point, the audio started to clip, which was a wee bit annoying. The frogs started to also collide with each other which ended up bouncing me off.
While playing, the enemies got stuck inside a minotaur and wouldn't take damage and thus I was soft-locked until I died. It felt sometimes that my attacks didn't hit when they should've and enemies attacks hit when they weren't even close to me. It was also just a bit unclear on what to do, feedback would've helped. I like the concept of summoning the enemies you have defeated to fight for you. Overall, good job on the submission.
I like the silly microgames that have a funny result. It became challenging to combine me cooking and doing quests. I'm glad that they let me cook.
I really love this concept, the randomness adds to the strategy of which dice you need to use and which monster you need to pick. I also like that after every round, the shop is randomized. The demon really stood out for me and was the reason why I wanted to play the game in the first place.
It wasn't very clear to me what I needed to do to summon the enemies. A bit more clear feedback and instructions would've helped
The art style was really cool and super unique, but the gameplay just didn't work for me, it was very unclear and I'm not sure if the mechanics even work like the fire and ice forms. Maybe for the next jam, plan a section for bug fixing.
I liked the option of choosing what you summon as it provoked two different playstyles. I was missing a bit of the music as it made the game feel a bit empty and the camera felt a bit off, I never knew if it was safe to fall down or if I would collide with an enemy and have to restart. I like the art style and the enemies have pretty cool designs.
I'm a bit confused on what the theme has to do with the game but I enjoyed the small gameplay loop. I really like the ant's model as well as the animations it has, really good.
Also the concept reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiLKVdNJt_o
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewf-8rx9_uQ I really wanted to hear some audio. The minigames were pretty short, but that's how a microgame collection should be. I also was a bit confused on how to access the minigames, maybe some instructions would help.
@fumybulb Thank you for your kind feedback, we are aware that the music doesn't loop, which is weird since in Unity the source is set to loop. Hopefully it didn't ruin the experience. Thank you for playing our game and hope you eventually beat Marat :D
Fellow jammers, once finished playing, would you mind filling out this form? https://forms.gle/FyWj1q39cERdc64S9
I really loved this game, really took me back to the days of playing bubble shooter. I love the design and character of the butler and the story is really fun. The levels did get challenging and I wanted to keep playing till the last level.
This is definitely one of my favorite games of this jam. The concept alone and the fact that there is so many different levels and different worms, which makes the game very replayable. I absolutely love the microgames to buff your characters
This concept was super interesting and so much fun to play. The strategy you have to think of while fighting with your past selves is really challenging but also super fun. The music was getting intense and it really helped with the overall experience
This game reminds me of my days as an intern :) A nice loop and a good concept and the sprites are well drawn.
That was a really polished and fun game. I enjoy the different personalities that appear and I like the references as well. It's a simple concept that I enjoy playing. It has a nice art style that makes it stand out.
Lardo goes indeed go to brazil. A simple platformer with an accurate representation of brazil.
I never expected a game where you play a magician streamer who pulls out rabbits to please her viewers. Such an interesting concept with a simple loop. I also love the twitch chats and donations, adding to the immersion.
