Drone Supervisor II Online by Jimbly 2026-04-29T13:56:22Z

Wow, this game is amazing. I wish I could send drones into teammates area to increase the teamplay even more.

Gridlock by MaggardJosh 2026-04-23T19:40:59Z

It looks easy, but it gets crazy pretty quick. I love it.

Good Boy by thunderklaus 2026-04-28T23:43:50Z

While I don't feel the tie to the theme was that strong, the game makes up for it with an innovating game idea. The graphics are simple, but nice, and fits really well with the cozy vibe. I kinda expected the Winter map to involve a surprise wolf attack or something like that, but because of the dark, but also because it seemed like it was "too easy" for a final level.

I got some friends join me to check out the multiplayer. Unfortunately one of the other players had their goal spawn next to mine, so he could camp on top of the goal, and both our signals scored him points. There was no counterplay.

Signal from the Stars by kassanu 2026-04-28T22:29:17Z

@bentglasstube I don't think you found everything. If you find all, you will get the ending dialogue.

@kassanu I don't know if it was a bug, but sometimes it wouldn't acknowledge the right word, before I filled in all the words. It was quite frustrating swapping between the codebook and the signal, wondering if there was an unknown symbol that would look almost like the silence symbol.

Sound Signals by pres2300 2026-04-23T19:13:33Z

I did my first playthrough without reading the instructions, and while on voice chat with friends. For a moment I thought my friends were making weird noices. After completing it, I read the instructions and decided to play it again, in order to check out the focus mode.

I like the concept, but I would personally prefere if there had been some enemies to avoid.

Expanding Horizons by TermiGht 2026-04-28T16:12:52Z

The fact that you stop being able to preduce factories at one point, really hurts this game. Waiting for your millions needed for your next array, knowing that it's just a single relay out of many more before you reach the next planet...

Earth Assimilation Readiness Protocol by PurpledArtFrog 2026-04-21T22:04:46Z

I love the concept. My first 5 times, I died to a sudden drop in stability that doesn't seem related to me activating anything. I finally won by keeping a big enough stability buffer to counter the unexpected drops, even though it meant innocent civilians got nuked. I would suggest making it possible to select the events on the map with the mouse. I ended up not looking at the map at all, since the map didn't really make any difference anyway (except for setting the mood).

Star Traveller by nyxkn 2026-04-21T18:34:55Z

I loved the mood and the humorous dialogue. I would have liked to have had options in the game, especially since the main character is infuriating stupid. With only half the letters missing of the ship type in the distress signal, it should be way easier to interpolate the ship id, than the location.

CRASHDAR by Roroto Sic 2026-04-23T18:21:26Z

Cool little puzzle game. And then it hits you that it's made in only 48 hours. I love it.

Bottom Up Maid by vydra 2026-04-29T16:31:52Z

For a long time, I thought I was playing as a weird robot maid, until I realized that buttom up was a reference to the game perspective. I like that you are trying new perspectives, but I think buttom up perspective is something I would recommend in the future.

I would have loved for the game to have multiple levels, in increasing difficulty, since the game was a bit too easy on hard. But since others think it is too hard, you might have hit a good spot for the casual player.

WORK FASTER by Vladcfg 2026-04-28T22:46:07Z

It makes sense how to sort them in Input and Output, but how are you supposed to know if you should sort them in Block or Apply?

Crossing by whateverdat 2026-04-21T17:58:55Z

As someone who likes hard games, this is an amazing small game. I would suggest making it auto-restart upon death. That would also make it easier to play on your phone.

Connect the Universe by alstegodev 2026-04-29T18:13:12Z

In games like these, with levels that seems very similar, it is really nice as a player to know how many levels there is, or if the game is endless. I hope I didn't give up before reaching the win screen, but I'll go with the assumption that it is endless.

Wasted Signals by Jordan The Human 2026-04-29T15:58:12Z

It's super annoying that the assignments reset when a survivor leaves. I had about 100 survivors, and unlocks an extra, leading me to going into minus, resulting in all my survivors being unassigned. I try to spamclick to reassign, but before I get them back on track, I'm so much in minus that another leave. Rinse and repeat while I try to spam assign people back in line, and survivors leaving one by one. When I finally get out of the death spiral, most of my survivors have left, and I only about 20 left.

I had no clue what the point of starting and stopping the car was?

Hold Your Horfes by RedEye Games 2026-04-23T16:41:05Z

Fun little game full of humor. I tried my best to win without any unsportsmanlike conduct, but you seem to have balanced the game well enough that playing honest isn't viable. Once I played the game as intended, it became much easier.

Insecure WiFi by BushFire 2026-04-21T22:09:24Z

@baknik You disable the boats by being close to them while your marker is close to the frequency hump. So you have to dodge the enemy boats by steering around them, while hacking them.

Insecure WiFi by BushFire 2026-04-28T14:31:59Z

@python-b5 I love making hard games, so my feedback from other gamejams was typically that my games were too hard. I agree that I overcorrected and made it too easy.

Crazy Driver (concept Submission by BoltDaPikachu234 2026-04-23T18:35:41Z

I can only rate the graphics, since I could play the game, but I love the graphics. Really nice retro look.

Qwadrant by glem-fumeno 2026-04-28T23:29:08Z

Really good game. I know there isn't much time to think about these things during a game jam, but once you upgrade your attack speed fully, the game needs an option to protect people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Snowstorm by mathemagics 2026-04-28T15:00:55Z

Thank you for writing that there isn't anything after the broken tower. I didn't realize before freezing to death the first time.

I tend to have a lot of noice around me when I play, so at first I had a hard time picking up if I was getting closer. It could help to have the signal visual be as sensitive to change as the audio. But that is of course also an artistic choice.

The Signal by Haln 2026-04-23T16:59:59Z

I ended up playing it again, just to have a extra look at the environment. It's so nice seeing all the small details, like the texture of the barrels, or how the game titel is written on the containers.

Dignal by Rafa Fiedo 2026-04-21T20:21:44Z

I love the music and the art. Simple and fun game. I keep seeing a +5 at the time each time i find the treasure, but it doesn't actually increase the time. Is it supposed to increase the time?

Edit: After some more testing, it turns out it adds the +5 seconds right before it tells you it adds the seconds.
