Really enjoyable game. I felt the need to find all 16 nests. Whether or not a flower opened a path was more subtle than I would have liked, and I would like the game to remember which way I launched from the previous time, but those are super minor quibbles. Excellent!
Hey! I'd love to try this, but it auto-fullscreens and on my ultrawide you can't see the entire screen. Windowed mode might help, if that's possible.
Wow, the mood of this game is truly impressive. I wanted to feel like I had a little more control, but otherwise, super happy. Great job.
This game is **soooo** cool! However, having to rebuild my circuit to make a minor change when I click "Back" is frustrating enough that I quit on the laser level. Let me know if you fix that and I'll give it another go! 👍
Same as @eerongal. I'd love to try.
The shrimp 🦐 mobs are so weird and awesome. From above they look like synchronized swimmers. I would have enjoyed being able to move faster and for the shrimp to be easier to kill. I felt ineffectual, which maybe is the point, but it's not exactly fun. 😅 Nice entry!
Wow, the shelving physics and sound effects are super satisfying. 🎁 I kept getting stuck trying to jump out of pits. In the last room, there was a color of boxes that I couldn't find, which limited my score. Is that intentional or poor randomness luck or a bug? Really nice job overall!!
10% on my first try, and I'm pretty sure that I lost more health trying to pick up tape than I gained. 😄 Also, I'm an idiot and thought that "X" meant I couldn't interact with someone, but @100th-coin's video saved me. I would have enjoyed an additional horizontal level so I could glide more and feel the wind beneath my wings...
Really well done. I liked the visuals, audio, controls, tutorial aspects, storyline. I am bad at stealth, so I wish there were some checkpoints. For non-Thief folks, it might be nice to explain what visibility means. Also, is it worth not-crouching other than at the very start of the game? Thanks and congrats!
Really well done, especially for a jam game. Only 10 years ago this would have been a commercial product, and you made it in a weekend! Also, nice job making it easy to debug your programs. 🐛
Two usability issues whose fixes would have made this more fun for me: * Dragging an instruction and dropping on a mutable field should also count as a move, like it does everywhere else on the line. I don't see any value in rejecting the drag. * Allow quick delete of an instruction.
As it is, I was glad when it was over. If those issues were fixed, I'd look forward to more challenges! 👍
Wow, so fun! I love the graphic style. I didn't understand the boulders... are they random? final-bastion.png
Agree with Gabriel, it's a bit confusing to start, especially with three different resources to manage, in different places on the screen. I got 819 / 69. Neat idea. Thanks!
I was stuck trying to get the game to accept input. I was about to give up when suddenly spacebar started working. Then everything was great. I'm terrible at it, but I really like how it rewards you with powerups as you go on. Being OP is fun!
At first I thought I wasn't going to enjoy this, mostly due to the limited combat mechanics (which are still impressive for a jam). But, then I ended up playing through a second time, because I wanted to win the boss fight, so... quite compelling! I really like that you can only kite the faster enemies for so long, then you have to stand your ground. I still mostly went the stealth route to save time. I wasn't a big fan of the visual dithering, although I didn't mind the low-res in general. The checkpointing system was well done, in conjunction with a good level design. Large but manageable with tantalizing glimpses of what was to come.
My top two asks are: (1) a better visual indication of hits/misses. (2) I'll reiterate what someone else said: Let me cut down the wheat with my scythe! 😁
Overall: Quite an incredible amount of functional content 👀, with an engaging premise and nice difficulty level. Congrats! 👍 (Note: it's clear there has been a good amount of refinement post-jam. I recommend having a jam-deadline entry for rating purposes and a separate one for non-trivial improvements)
Well done. Compelling story. Excellent execution. Only two issues bothered me: you can reach a checkpoint and then "lose" it and have to re-earn it. Several times I killed something to discover that it was already too late. So, it was hard to know whether you had been "fast enough"... maybe a bit more feedback at the key moment? Also, is there more than one ending? Seems like it, but I couldn't figure it out.
Favorite LD, evar! 4856 points! ⭐️ Ran out of things to buy/upgrade. 🤑 Had me LOL. Great work!
I played for quite a while and really enjoyed it! Would love to have a score to measure progress. Also, defending the last few pieces is a little anti-climatic compared to the super tense period of defending a larger area.
I ❤️ this game. I wish the non-tutorial game started out a little easier, but boy, does it capture the theme. Would love to know what the record is. I only got 12k and it felt like I did worse every time. It would be nice if it was easier to transition from moving to interacting... maybe visual feedback when a click would start an interaction?
Love the graphics! I'm impressed you were able to make such a solid RTS in 3 days! To minor camera issues: you can go upside down, and if you rotate to be flat with the horizon, you're stuck and can't rotate back. Great job!
Nice work! I got 2:18 on my first try. It's really hard to move and keep aiming correctly! Also, I kept thinking the eyeballs were part of the background. Well done.
Wow, hard! It'd be nice to be able to get through the cutscenes faster to try again, if you're a poor player like me (spamming the spacebar to get through conversations was still slow). I love the innovation with the level-up mechanic. It'd be great to have option to start in on an easier/tutorial level to better observe how that mechanism works. Nice work!
Very nice. I wanted to hover over the meters to understand what they each were, and over my current mood to understand what was influencing it. I did not feel that I could actively pursue improvement, which was frustrating, but the name of the game kinda says it all, right? Overall, an enjoyable experience. Nice work!
I really enjoyed this and played it for a good while. Nice and addictive. (just a little further...). Difficulty is tuned really well for a challenge, but it'd also be fun to have a casual mode with a lot more ammo and/or less gravity. I could imagine zoning out to that... 👀
I am quite impressed. I love puzzles. I'm torn between really enjoying the narration, and wishing it didn't offer so many hints. 🤷 The story is well written, too. I'd love to learn more about the characters and play more levels. Really well done.
The web link is giving 404. If you can fix that, let me know! I'd love to play.
Love the graphics and mood! The reactor/o2/flooding indicators are very subtle. Even when looking at them, it can be hard to tell the level. It's a place where sounds would really help.
I wish there was a reason to go down! If so, I would have played a lot longer.
According to the instructions, pressing 1&2 launches an advanced missle. In my experience, it just kills you. 😉
Nice work! A great entry.
Argh. Looks like it'll be an awesome game, but once you enter the depths, the 3D view goes purple (in Chrome on Windows). Please see if you can fix it and then notify me! 🙏
Wow, I played for waaaaay longer that I meant to. 😄 Really addictive! Are there any other items or monsters lower than the ones you first find? Getting stuck in the wall was the only annoying thing. I love the sound of bombing spiders in the morning. 💣 🕷 Nice work!
Hmm. "Game Over". Is that good or bad?
176.38! Just the right amount of control to be challenging and fun. First time I've ever played "chicken" with a "doge"! 🐕
I want to play! The screenshot looks great!
Still fun even without lighting! Having to start at the beginning makes me sad though. Still, great entry!
Wow, just the right difficulty to be addictive. Is there more after frogger?
Great art and music, and I really liked the challenge level, even though it's completely unfair. 😄
Really nice looking game! I was excited to play, but got IndexOutOfRangeException while moving around, and then movements stopped. Ping me if you get the bug fixed!
Holy cow! My favorite submission so far! I love surfing along the edge of the big group, and it's worth fighting through to get dash! Got to the second handling upgrade. I wish I could restart close to the power level when I died.
Ha! I was boring, but then I won for realz. ;) Nice mechanics. I was confused about when baddies would stop respawning and I could move on, though.
Wow, a really innovative platformer! The checkpoint system is a huge relief. Even so, I wasn't skilled enough to do a lot of wall jumps so I didn't get far. :/ Great job!
Wow, the 3D models and effects are amazing! I'd love to see where this goes.
Totally lost on the xylophone. :/ Seems like a cool game, I wish I could have finished that game or left it and come back later.
Good scaling of difficulty across levels!
I enjoyed this a lot! I couldn't tell if there was any penalty for using the compass. If not, having to click it was a little gimmicky. Otherwise, I enjoyed the race against time!
Sweet! I understand about running out of time, but I was *so sad* to not get a chance to swap bodies with other characters. :) Great premise.
Wow, a really impressive set of mechanics for such a short jam! I really liked the feel of the guards. Their combined patrols were challenging and interesting.
Really neat. I understand that each day is random, but it'd be nice to have a little more control about whether I get to see new events. Also, I'm not quite sure why once poison killed me and another time it didn't, so being a little clearer about the why might help. Nice work!
Ouch! Harsh. :) Good game though.
Nice level design. I never did figure out how to control losing weight, though.
Really cool. I wish that there was a mode that let me know when I wouldn't need a verb again... I ended up carrying them all around, but then it became time consuming to figure out how to respond. I wasn't able to win, but I did play it for 20 minutes, so thanks!
I liked this a lot. However, even after getting the hang of it, it takes a lot of effort to try new things. Would like to see it slightly streamlined.
This looks very cool, but how do I get out of Forgotton Town?
Seems overly hard, or I'm missing something. I got past the gauntlet of rotating turrets, but the big room with overlapping zones just seemed impossible.
Wow, a fantastic game. I love the minimalist UI. I wish I had more strategies I could employ (including moving the entrance and exits), but it was a lot of fun. Would love to be able to click on rooms to see what equipment and monsters were there.
Nice theme, and I was excited by the upgrade ideas. Would have loved to see those. Also, determining if you were hitting enemies was too hard.
I didn't notice any edible pixels, but I did reach the goal. I liked the chasing baddies... reminded me of Serious Sam. A good step towards a game with possibilities.
(rating Original) Nice infrastructure. Couldn't kill anything, but would have otherwise seemed really decent.
Really nice game. It'd be nice if, when you built a new type of character, the game paused to show the character and explain how it works (sort of like when you transition to monster).
I loved this game. Things that bugged me a little: could get into a stalemate where you couldn't do damage fast enough to lose or win. Would have liked to see visibility radius clearly. Sometimes it takes a long time to weed out a level-appropriate victim.
Nice little game. I like that people move out of the dense buildings last. I wish there was some locality effect to where pollution was being emitted, and where shops were placed.
Seems like you're an amoeba trying to grab other detritus to survive. The fact that I couldn't swivel the canon makes it very challenging.
Fun little game. Really loved the graphics of the scenery.
Couldn't get it to work on Chrome, Windows 7. The first time I played, the rocky background was completely black, and I couldn't see where to climb up on the far right. I thought maybe a texture didn't load, so I refreshed the page, and after that, the "Play" button wouldn't work. Such a cool idea, though, and graphics are great!
Fun enough that I had to play it twice. :)
Really innovative and fun. Just wish I could restart a single room, since I seemed to have botched myself in room 4.
I love the visual style!
Really well done. I had a really hard time making a short jump though, which I felt made it a little less fun than it otherwise would have been.
Really awesome! I love how it feels like the missles are anticipating you. I don't *think* they are, but it sure feels that way. If it got harder as you progressed, and had an ending, I'd play this a bunch. :)
Awesome! I wish I hadn't gotten stuck, even with the hints. MOAR HINTS!
Ok, I admit I spent all my time trying to knock stuff all the desk. Fun!
Super fun! Wish there was a third weapon.
I like the mechanic of using your bounce angle combined with your ability to steer somewhat. I made a few strategic bounces, but never got good at it. The green rocks on the brown dirt are a little hard for the colorblind to see.
The smoke and audio really work with the dark theme.
Aw, so depressing at the end!
Ok, that was *really* fun. DANCE PEOPLE, DANCE!
Pretty cool! I wish it would show me my best score, as a motivation to keep trying. Also, I know the keyboard controls are not the primary input, but it'd be nice if "W" was forward instead of up. I also wasn't crazy about the detached limbs.
Great execution! Aren't we done with the whole saving princess theme though?
Very well executed. I especially love the vacuum tube numbers!
Awesome idea! Would make a great mobile game. However, continuing from the last completed level seems necessary... I gave up after dying twice... couldn't stand to click another 50 times.
The web link takes me to a page that says: "Unity Web Player\nInstall Now!" even though I already have it installed. I went ahead and installed it again, but no luck. Chrome on Windows 7.
At first I thought the limited enemy interactions were going to ruin my fun, but the upgrade system kept it interesting. Nice job!
Really nice programming game! Two suggestions: (1) don't wait for the timer to finish before determining if the level is a success. (2) double-clicking a program instruction should "Add" it.
Nice job! However, the duration of the level building screen made me want to pull my hair out.
Wow, great job! I sometimes had trouble telling why my guys were dying, but it was a lot of fun, regardless!
I tried playing this on Windows 7, and it works but there were no enemies. I ran it twice, but no change. I hope you get it fixed, it looks awesome!
Very nice... is there an end? Combination of dead ends and slow movement made me give up, even though I didn't want to.
Also, regarding your "Note", I hope you didn't ruin this nice entry by violating the rules.
Couldn't play: "Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.jamalaide.org.au"
Rocket # should go up every time you restart. ;)
I wish there were more frequent save points...
The audio design rocked! It was occasionally hard to find Cyclopses though.

The Last Tuner by Igor Silva 19 2026-04-22T22:50:35Z ♥ 1
I'm really impressed by the "feel" of the universe here. The little dude reminded me of a lego minifig. 😄 I got stuck at the first gate though. I filled the fuel (took me a while to figure out) and played the song which opened the door, but it wouldn't move when I pressed the go button. I tried the song many times, and the door stopped going up even when I missed notes, so I think I got enough of them right? If I'm missing something, plesae let me know. Otherwise, I'll try it again from the beginning in case it was glitching.

Nicely done. I accidentally wasted time backtracking at one point. It would be nice to leave tracks behind so you can tell where you've been. I found an apparent bug. Once you get to the end, if you go back and take the "alternate" path, you get another message that no longer fits in the storyline.
Mimics Must Die! by Surfa 2026-04-21T19:06:20Z ♥ 3
Neat game! Made me nostalgic for the dungeon crawlers of my youth. The scanner mechanic worked really well. There were two chests that my scanner didn't work on. One of them, there was no positive signal. The other, the scanner closed really quickly for some reason. Anyway, great work. I wish one of the items was a torch! 🔦 |> mimics.png
Faulty Signal by Skeler 2026-04-21T18:39:39Z ♥ 1
Can you hack yet? Or just open the screen? I couldn't see a way to interact with it. I'm intrigued though.
The Last Frequency by strong99 2026-04-21T18:32:18Z ♥ 1
I like the theme and enjoyed fixing things, but at some point I was just doing loops and decoding kept resetting. It wasn't clear how I could make progress.
FIRE WALK WITH ME by Fadex 2026-04-21T18:17:51Z ♥ 2
Delightfully weird! ❤️ Great job. Oh, and the post-its were a really fun detail. I liked moving them around just because.

Technically very solid. 👍 I'm not a musician, and I couldn't figure out what a good or bad move was. I just used up all my energy and made patterns, and was winning levels. I couldn't tell if the waveforms I was making were impacting the audio, so it felt like my choices didn't matter. If the patterns *did* affect the music, I wish the pattern was highlighted in time to the music. Again, I'm not musically sophisticated, so I'm not sure if I'm in the target audience.
