I liked this a lot! I really liked the tank style movement controls and the fake online feel of playing against the other ants!

I liked this a lot! I really liked the tank style movement controls and the fake online feel of playing against the other ants!
Really interesting concept, I liked that the combinations make sense. I think it could have done with some more feedback to tell the player they've successfully merged, but all in all a really good effort!
Really like this entry, it's a very interesting take on the theme. I think it could have done with a tutorial to explain some of the gameplay mechanics, but overall a really solid and thought provoking game
Vary fun game, I think the player feedback could have been a bit clearer, even just flashing red when you take damage. Overall good use of the theme and fun too!
Like a few of the other comments have said, it took me a while to figure out I had to click the eggs to spawn the fish, but once I got that I spent quite a bit of time on this one!
An interesting take on breakout games, I enjoyed the strategic element of having to choose which tiles to make solid. I think the fact that you've made this in your own engine is super impressive - really good job!
I really enjoyed this game! It was a challenge to balance the everything efficiently, the graphics were very appealing too! I think it could have done with a bit of music but all in all a really good job!
Really like this game, I feel like this theme was ideal for an RTS style game. I liked the ability to design your own beetles rather than just having pre set attributes. Really good job!
This is a really fun little game, I'd love it as a mobile game! After a few attempts I found the tactic of waiting by where the straw spanwns you can just let it bring all the boba to you, so maybe have the straw positioned randomly? Still a really solid game though!
I really like the art in this game, although I'm not really sure how it fits into the theme - there are creatures but they're not very tiny! I feel like it could also do with a restart button rather than kicking you back to the main menu as I died a lot! Good effort!
Loved this very morbid game, fits the theme really well. It took a few goes around to figure out the best strategy for success but once it clicked I really enjoyed it. The sound got a little repetitive after a while, especially in the late game when there were a lot of fish and snails, so maybe a mute button or some sound control would be good. Really good effort!
Really fun little platformer, I love the early 2000's 3D animations of the various mouse fates. The game graphics were really good as well, it'd be great to see this expanded out!
Really liked this, felt very Papers Please. It took me a while to understand how to use the TV screen to blank off suspects I'd crossed off but that made it easier to keep track of. Really good stuff!
Really good concept here! Having such an in depth tutorial at the start was a great idea for first time players. The graphics are spot on, really good job!
Very fun little adventure!
Really impressed with this one, it looks amazing and the gameplay is fun!
Really fun, liked the Minecraft/Terraria gameplay and the progression with upgrades. Loved the art style and little bit bit of story in there. Really solid effort!
Really nice game, very Vampire Survivors! I think the speed of level up gets a bit too slow as you go through the game, but other than that really well balanced. Great job!
Really enjoyed this, love the 1-bit art style - it's hard to make just 2 colours look good but you got it perfect. Only thing I'd say would be to invert the colours if you're flying over water so you can still see you bat. It's Morbin Time
Really fun game, I love this kind of game and you've done a really good version here, great job. I feel like it could do with maybe some different attack types, something clear the screen would be really useful.
Really liked the concept of this one, Papers Please but you're a doctor! Graphics were really nice, needs some sort of tutorial and maybe some music and SFX, but really good job!
Really cute game, the graphics and music had a really nice calming aesthetic. Great job!
Really love this, it felt a bit difficult but then again I'm probably just bad at games!
Loved it, exactly what I wanted from this theme - beating small animals β€οΈ
The graphics are good, but would benefit from more feedback to the player, especially when fighting the boss.
Very cute idea, my girlfriend loved the mushroom ghost I made for her! tiny_ghost_creator.png
Very unique idea, always good to see a different medium used for making games!
I like the concept, its a fun twist on the theme, I feel like the timer could be a bit more forgiving though π The graphics were really well done though and the movement felt really solid - Good job!
Interesting concept, I just feel like the execution could have been better. The character movement speed was very slow which made me not really want to play past the first few wolf fights. The art style was also a bit confusing, it would have been better to stick to either a full 3D world or the 2D sprites. I did love the sound though, "Sound Effect.Wav" made me actually laught out loud π Keep it up!
Really like this concept, I like the balancing of resources and trying to keep everyone happy at the same time. The art fits really well and the music loop/sound effects help build the world. You managed to get it quite feature complete as well which is difficult for this type of game in this time frame. I also liked that you went a different direction with the theme than most other people π Really good job!
Really like the concept, but just a little too short for me. It would be great if this could be expanded across multiple days and collecting money depending on how good a job you do? I liked the distorted real world images, it's good to know there's even a Greggs in Hell π Good job!
Really fun concept, I like the idea of wandering around a hose clensing it of demons π I think the art was spot on but chould have used some sort of damage indicator to show how much health you have left? Other than that, really good job!
Great idea of using the different summons to help with platforming! The art is really good too, all of the summons are really unique from each other. I feel like some sound would help build atmosphere, even just a basic music loop. Also the jump felt very 'floaty' and imprecise but other than that, great job!
Good concept, I like the pixel art style, but I think it could have been a bit more zoomed in so you can see them fully - I think some basic animations would also go a long way to improving the feel of the game. The music loop is good and I like the different summons you can do. Good job!
Really good idea, but I think it would benefit from the environments and task being a bit more vaired, you can only make pressing E to pick something up fun for so long. The models were well made although I'm not sure why the old man was wearing a helemt π
I like the concept but I didn't really get the gameplay? The number didn't seem to mean anything and random amounts were being taken from the people. I get what you were going for and it seems really interesting, the graphics and music help to build a nice consistent atmoshpere that works well. Good job!
Really good concept, the difficulty ramps up quickly so you have to git gud fast π I spent most of the time summoning allies and running away than attacking. Graphics really nice and music/sound helps buils a good consistent theme. Well done!
Cool game and concept, although I don't think I could see the aliens? My towers would occasionally just shoot at nothing π Nice graphics and the sound was good, seems like a good game to take further! Great job!
Really great casual game, testing new combinations and unlocking frogs felt really good. The graphics were amazing and music/sound effects really helped build the mood. Really good job!
Not reading Russian really didn't help with understanding what to do here π However the graphics were really well done and fit a consistant theme, managed to fumble around and summon a cat that jumped about randomly which was quite funny. The game did crash after a few minutes but all in all, good job!
Bit confused on what the aim is? I read the how to play but couldn't get my head around it, other than that the graphics and summonin animation is really nicely done. Could have used some background music to make it more relaxing. Good effort!
Really fun game, the art style is really cool and the CRT effect is great. I enjoyed the puzzles a lot but I think they ramped up in difficulty a bit too quickly, probably just my poor brain though! π Good effort!
Really like the art style, the music loop didn't grate on me which is always a plus so good job there π I was a bit confused on what the actual aim was? I drop about 6 birds into the summon circle but nothing seemed to change? Either way good job!
Nice graphics but the keyboard controls are a bit confusing, also I died while reading the intro text for the first time π Liked the idea, I think it has potential
Took me a second to realise I had to click the text on the screen to start xD but once I got started it all came together really well. Really good visual style, the gameplay is fun and ramps up in challenge nicely. Really solid job here, great work!
Really great game, not many LD games manage to get that much of a story in so good job there :D The graphics were really solid and the music/sounds were on point. Really fun to play and one I might have to come back to later because beating on Devin was so much fun!
Nice little endless runner here, took me a few tries to get the hang of it but once it clicked it felt very natural. The art is fantastic and the animations a very well done, I think sound would have improved it a lot, even just a background loop. Really good job!
Liked this a lot, managed to slay God on my first attempt. There might be some issuse with the precision on the harpoon, there were a few times I thought I should have hooked boxes when I didn't but that's the only complaint! Really nice art, the music and sound are good and it fits the theme!
Good attempt for a first time using the engine! The art is nice and consistant, I only managed to get two items to summon, the bottle and the piano, so a few more of them would have been good. Overall a solid platformer that fits the theme well! Good job.
A few failed attempts before figuring out the idea, once I got the gist it was quite good. The small amount of voice acting really adds to the overall feel, the art is on point and overall just a solid little puzzle game :D
Really good graphics and fun to play. Movement and attacking feels a little floaty, would be nice to be able to move diagonally. Sound would also be a good addition but really good effort!
Pretty fun to play but seems a little buggy, not sure if it's just me? The graphics are nice and interesting use of the Limited Space theme. Could do with some sound and maybe a tutorial level just to explain what's going on a bit
Really good concept, but needs some work. Money doesn't seem to do really do anything and theres no way to improve anything from when you take your 1st job to taking your 100th. The graphics are nice and it fits the theme of limited space really well though. Overall good launching point for a game that could be potentially very fun if it was fleshed out more!
Bit confusing when you first load up, could do with a menu and a description of what you need to do. Once you understand it though it has a nice gameplay loop. Graphics are good and it fits the theme really well.
What a game... love the aesthetic, love the concept; would love to see it taken further. Only criticism is the lack of music (although this just highlights the authentic SFX) and the only way to quit the game seems to be alt+f4. Honestly, great job!
Graphics and sound are on point, agree with @katajisto that the gunplay is a bit off, feel like I should have hit a few of the shots that missed - really good concept though!
Nice simple game with a really fun gameplay loop, pretty difficult but I got some lucky spwans and peaked at 13 enemies killed
Really good concept, gets very complicated very quickly but still fun. Nice consistent art style that brings back a lot of that Windows XP nostalgia. Really good job!
Really nice art style and funny character descriptions and interactions - lots of potential
Fun and simple platformer, graphics fit the theme well, feels like a classic Newgrounds Flash game. Would be good if the moveable boxes had physics.
Nice graphics and fun gameplay loop, movement feels really good too. Would be nice if there was a way to regain health and power ups or something but a really good simple game

Sub-Silence by Pusheeneiro 2025-04-09T13:10:09Z ♥ 2
Really great concept that fits into the theme really well. Very steep learning curve but once I got the hang of it, I actually had a lot of fun! Good job
Record Depth by Indiealesha 2025-04-09T13:07:36Z ♥ 1
If this doesn't get one of the highest humour ratings you've been robbed π The graphics are also a highlight, gameplay is obviously lacking as you've said, but I stayed for the story! Great job
Descent Protocol by fingolfin 2025-04-09T12:15:44Z ♥ 2
The graphics were really appealing and worked well with the theme. The gameplay is a bit confusing, the aim wasn't hugely clear, and I'm not too sure what then various drill functions actually did. I made it to about 1100 before I got the game over message, but after this appeared I could still move around and the drill kept going. Really good effort, just needs a bit of polish!
Submerged Pulse by Pandalk 2025-04-09T12:07:02Z ♥ 2
This was so good, really rare to have a game jam entry with voice acting! The sonar concept was really unique, and I like the challenge of having to essentially traverse two different mazes at the same time. Really great job!
Toilet Diver by Makache 2025-04-09T11:57:40Z ♥ 1
I almost made it! Managed to collect the ring but unfortunately drowned in the toilet π Really good entry, the graphics were good and the controls were responsive, when I died I didn't think it was unfair or anything. Great job!
Blackwater Depths by Okean 2025-04-09T11:48:03Z ♥ 1
Really great entry! I loved the atmosphere, very immersive, reminded me of Iron Lung. I played a few times but unfortunately couldn't fine the treasure, but I'm sure someone more skilled will have better luck. Great job!
The Truth Lies Beneath by pacome 2025-04-09T11:40:58Z ♥ 1
Really good entry! I think it could have done with some sort of tutorial section in the game as a lot of people (myself included!) might not read the LD page fully before trying! But I really liked the concept, great job!
Mr. Money's Phenomenally Soggy Water Removal Romp by Rhoka 2025-04-09T11:35:30Z ♥ 3
Really loved this! Not much else to say, this is one of my favourite games from this jam so far, the only gripe I have is that the item you have equipped starts to glitch around as your speed increases. Might be an idea to be able to unequip. Great job!
Cave Hunter by GeoBlackrU 2025-04-09T08:31:26Z ♥ 1
Really good game, I really enjoyed it. The movement felt really nice and fluid, I also really liked the graphics on the character. Music was solid and it had a good difficulty curve. Only issue I found was when the boss arrived, he got stuck under the platform and the turrets rinsed him! [chrome_717VImhdQY.gif](///raw/c00/b5/z/6ba8e.gif)
The Imploder by matid90 2025-04-08T15:53:09Z ♥ 3
I really like the controls, probably realistic to an actual sub. Really good graphics and music/sounds. Really solid effort! Great job!
Upstream by Skvader_418 2025-04-08T15:42:12Z ♥ 0
Really fun game, I love the concept! It would be really good to see this expanded out with more ships elements that need fixing, and possibly some sort of shop system to buy upgrades. Really good job!
Voidbound by Nef1k 2025-04-08T15:24:56Z ♥ 2
Really good concept, reminded me of the old iOS game Solomon's Keep! Was really fun to work through the dungeons and unlock new powers. Great job!
Home is where hell is by Anderson Job Loeffler 2025-04-08T15:17:48Z ♥ 3
Really nice little game, I think it could do with some sound effects and music, but the graphics are spot on. Extending this out would be really cool too. Really good effort!
Enigmarine by Willby 2025-04-08T15:13:56Z ♥ 2
I used to love escape room games when I was younger and this brought it all back. The visuals and sound design made it so atmospheric. Such a good job guys!
Belials Bellybutton by Kujoen 2025-04-08T13:21:36Z ♥ 1
Really like this game! The atmosphere is perfect, and I really like the little graphical touches - things like the diver looking back and forth really add to the overall aesthetic. The only things I'd say is there could be some more feedback to the player that they are doing damage with the harpoon, it took me until the swordfish to realise that I could kill enemies.
Awakening by Celian 2025-04-08T13:13:01Z ♥ 3
Very good concept, reminded me of Little Big Planet a bit. The music was nice and calming. Really nicely presented game, good job!
Illuminat! by Thieme55 2025-04-08T13:09:24Z ♥ 2
This is a really solid puzzle game! I was stuck on the second but for soooo long I just had to give up in the end! Could do with some sort of hint system I think. Good effort!
Deep Sea Squid Hero by runningopenloop 2025-04-08T12:46:59Z ♥ 1
Vary Fun game, only managed to save 18 of the little guys before the rest were burned though! I also really liked the story at the begining and dialouge in general. Great job!
Drifting Granny by the-cellist 2025-04-08T12:33:20Z ♥ 1
Very fun game, I really liked the underwater effect. The anchor felt a bit delayed with it's controls sometimes, and other times it will be really responsive. The music was also a real high point, although I'm not sure if it was because I had my PC volume too high but it was very loud during the intro. Good effort!
Resurface by r8teful 2025-04-08T12:15:51Z ♥ 1
I really loved this game, not sure how much time I spent in it but I managed to get to the surface. Reminds me of the sort of games you'd get on ArmorGames back in the day. Very chill vibes, the music and graphics work really well. Great job!
Endless Depth by Dywanix 2025-04-08T11:43:29Z ♥ 2
Great example of a simple concept done well. Graphics fit the theme of the game, although I'd say that with the sea urchin enemies it's quite hard to see clearly when their spikes are out. Other than that, really good entry!
Toby's Room by Lipski 2025-04-08T11:31:09Z ♥ 2
Really good entry, I loved all of the references and all of the item descriptions were really well written. Music was very fitting and atmospheric. Good job!
