That was a fun short game. I liked the minefield puzzle for how I checked the path, memorized it, then walked it. The pixel art and music are well done too.

I had fun playing. The screen distortion improving as signal improves is a cool effect. At first I thought the effect was too strong but seeing it improve when you placed Relay down, I understood why it was like.
I made it to night 8. I had to be careful to watch my health bar when fighting enemies. I got taken out by the rectangular enemy.
I think the day and night cycle is balanced well, I had just enough time to mine, build turrets, fend off in the night. Impressive for 48 hours!
I had a lot of fun playing this. Some notes: * the sounds are great. There's a lot of variety but they all feel right for an asteroids like space game. * enemy movement has a lot of life to it. It really feels like an intelligent swarm of enemies. * the graphics are all cohesive with each other and the glow is a nice effect.
I beat the game, I enjoyed it. I like the start menu and how the ending sequence leads back in to another playthrough. It's creative, good job.
This game made me feel like a lighthouse keeper with a morse code machine and that's cool. I figured it out but FYI you need to click individual ships to send orders. I thought the port could be a little more generous with accepting boats about to dock because the multitasking becomes a lot to keep up with. The visuals are also really nice and indicators for what signal just went out and whether it went out correct.
I enjoyed playing, I like the visuals. I think the presentation of time travel was intuitive.
I think the long slot machine puzzle could be improved by letting players shift the contents of cells up and down.
I enjoyed it. I like the concept of fighting the wall while you run. The game got easier for me once I realized you can triple jump.
I enjoy the clandestine atmosphere created and think it ties in with the theme well. Methodically taking control of different points and drawing circles to reveal the secret base did give me a good feeling, like I was playing a simulation game. Each screen has the bubble shape to it which is a nice detail. I wasn't able to intercept a message with the password though despite overlapping three circles and crossing DRA 1 over the intersection.
Really fun matching puzzle concept. The dials control very well too.
I liked the experience. There was a good setup for the story but wish there was more clarity on whether the story was progressing correctly or not. I was in an 8 day streak of no messages, maybe I failed to do something, I did miss a science being due one day. I see you mention branching paths.
A nice atmospheric experience. I like the details of the TV static still being heard from another room, and the bathroom light being cast on the bedroom wall.
I like the game. I could get through two lights before missing the timing. The symbols are distinct enough to tell apart.
I like sound it creates a suspenseful mood. The interior has a lot of detail and the outside feels nice to walk through, I like the low poly trees. I did lose my way though.

Nice music and art. Fun puzzles, I like that I can walk back to reset a room.
Forgotten Device by beareye 2026-10-26T21:41:09Z ♥ 1
The controls were fun to come to terms with. I like the challenge of climbing up to the antenna. I would play a longer game if there was more climbing like that. I liked the sound and environment.

The menu music is really nice, this is visually the best looking game i've played this ludum dare so far. Great experience all around.
The Night Clerk by ShanzPro 2026-10-25T06:49:27Z ♥ 0
I really like this game, it had me on edge feeling nervous. After some tries I got most of the sounds down except the shower, I can't seem to clear of the black sludge, maybe I am too late to react.

It's a fun game that I could get really focused for.
Old Remote Safari by Lomna 2026-10-24T15:53:55Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed this narrative experience, it was funny. The animations for shaking the remote are well done. The sound design is well done. Congrats on the Compo!
NewHouse™ by Frogravity 2026-10-23T16:34:36Z ♥ 1
I really enjoyed the narrative side to this. I am a fan of stories where you kind of infer something happening. The dying plants and torn walls definitely added to the experience. Congrats!
Pinball "Repair" SIMULATOR by Fifut 2026-10-23T15:49:39Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed this, I am pretty impressed with how smooth and enjoyable the actual recreation of a pinball table was. The fixing mid game is interesting but I wish there was a way to slow or suspend the ball on the table, to make fixes, rather than hope to get back to the table view in time.

Do you have any tips on what to look for with the binoculars? I also explored everywhere I could by foot but didn't seem to make progress.
It's About Time for Murder by Mavvy 2026-10-21T04:35:18Z ♥ 1
Congrats on compo, I like deduction games and this was fun. The persistent clock and sleep made me feel that i'm in the building, up late trying to uncover the identity. The music and visuals are really impressive and consistent. I like the backstory. I'm thinking getting messages like "meet me outside at 7:00" could be another way to use time to gather info.
NEO REPAIR: KAWAIITECH by ynukym.academy 2026-10-20T16:53:55Z ♥ 0
I like the pixel art for all the devices. The dust is a nice detail. The color matching makes for an interesting interaction with the device.

Getting all 4 friends and making it past the last road was a challenge.
The music is nice, the fact that it speeds up as you go further is a cool detail. I like the humor, with parody names.
The Margin Game by henk 2026-10-20T15:54:53Z ♥ 1
Finally a good use for junk mail. Seemed to worked well for this game. Once I started playing, I realized the rule that I can assign numbers to any column, is the rule that makes this game work and should not be overlooked. At least, that's where I think most of the decision making comes from. The doubling up of twos is also crucial to bail you out from tough spots.
Steam buggy by cogcomp 2026-10-20T14:52:34Z ♥ 0
Evokes memories of Ridge Racer or Outrun series. I like the balance between wanting speed, and control for collecting coal. I also like the detail that you can lap other racers. Stage 2 is cool but I wasn't able to see if there's a stage 3 or not.
DMRL- Digital Multi-lens Reflex camera by foepje12 2026-10-20T14:42:32Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed this. At first I was intimidated by level 3 but once I figured it out, it was very satisfying. I like all the art and the drawn photos add to the mood. I played in full screen and had no problems there.
Terminal Stasis by adam-gould 2026-10-20T14:07:10Z ♥ 1
I enjoyed this game a lot. Nothing was too hard that I got stuck. The music is nice. The natural transition to the end music felt really good, and it wrapped the game up nicely. The narration added to the overall mood too. Getting in and out of terminals and switching tasks felt very natural.
The Old Techmongery by designernap 2026-10-20T13:35:58Z ♥ 1
I like the music, as well as all the environment detail. I like how exiting the store prompted exiting the game. I'm not on windows and I think some aspects of the game didn't get presented correctly because of that (such as the lights being off) (everyone else seems to have gotten along fine).
Nimkip and the Quest to Build an Airship by T C 2026-10-20T13:12:41Z ♥ 2
I like the Nimkip. The controls were natural to figure out. After 7 days or so, the hourglass would spin but the day would not end, the Nimkip population stayed exhausted. Double checking, have you tried on Itch, under Embed Options, Frame Options, enabling Full Screen Button?
Oops! No Floor! by Serendibity Efreet 2026-10-19T05:04:48Z ♥ 1
The elephant model is a high point. I like this game, i'm familiar with something similar in Minecraft and Fall Guys. Controls worked well for me.
Stitch, Snip, Ship by Jooooooise 2026-10-19T04:16:48Z ♥ 1
Final savings: 5410 I enjoyed the game, figured out I can change the direction of the stitching halfway through day 1. It's an interesting color matching puzzle. I like when the orders work with what's already available with little effort.
