Great game! Love the wario-ware-esk feel. My only real suggestion would be some of the games dont end when you are "done". For example the egg game lasted through the entire timer even though at the earlier levels i have gotten all the eggs. Also sometimes the eggs are pre spawned and i barely have enough time to catch them.
Neat theme for the bar balancing, love the art and music and the programming/movement and interactions feel good.
The word choices weren't the best imo. Some weren't words "hara" and some were.... questionable words... Not sure if this is common for typing games, but pressing the wrong letter isn't a problem here.
Neat idea. I feel like I lasted a fairly long while, but it def gets too much at some point. Nice job!
nice art and music. Seems a little too easy with just choosing the boost options Maybe adding a rocks paper scissors element to it would add some complexity?
Nice job. Very hard to see the doorways at first. Got to floor 6.
Space to restart would make this game addictive. Some of the color combinations with the backgrounds are hard to see.
Great Art. The controls could be be changed to help. WASD with ZX could be Q and E to make the game more fluid or use mouse buttons to hold instead. Teleporters seemed a little pointless with the welding craft being very fast.
Feels really good on the pinball. The paddles might be too strong though. Hard to win! nice job.
Neat premise. Ramps a little too fast to even understand what is going on completely. Matches the theme perfectly.
Got to 419! Great stuff. Movement feels great.
Neat take on this. Unsure if there is a "win" condition?
Wish there was some sounds and full screen on the webGL build
The menu screen looked awesome. The footsteps were so loud it took me out of the game. (They do not seem to be connected with a slider in the options) The enemy SFX and movement were a little more funny than scary as well.
Very cool mechanic. I had a tough time after the intro levels and didn't finish.
Sort of confused by the story and what's happening. The text is also very hard to read as it gets slowly added to the screen because it keeps shifting line widths. I feel like my game also just randomly restarted after a few min.
Would love to see more content to play for longer. Great art and mood, would love to get some music and mixing added in.
Very nice job for a jam timeframe. Could use some balancing allowing more than 2 hammers to repair the hull make it so I ended the boss right with full health.
Wish I could see my score between runs, to see if im getting better. A little hard to calc quickly. Unusure of the balance as I could get to the bottom fairly fast digging straight down.(Rainimg blocks at the start might help with this initially.) ADD SOME PICTURES YOU HAVE GREAT ART!
Nice concept, but I think you need some updates to make this more playable. Seems to be issues with Mushrooms coming at the player to the point where I could just walk to the ending. Also mushrooms floating in the air, and some weird gray geometry I could walk through without realizing at first. This is a very odd movement system for a player. I would love to see you invent a system where this makes more sense, I could really see it as a mine cart controller if you up the speed a bit.
Very interesting game. Love the concept. I wish I could understand a little more of the dialogue. Love the piano music without other SFX to muddy it. Voice work could be clearner next time. The line art really fits the style of game ( Makes me think diary of a whimpy kid).
Love the "PS1" fish and submarine with pixel/shaded graphics. Wish the pacing was a little more active. And adding in better continuity on the UI/Graphics would make this a cool collection game.
Very cool concept could do well with sudo randomness to give a more catered too story. Its currently a little abstract. Missed the win condition at first so I ended up losing the case, but will try again soon.
I really enjoyed the enemy animations and level design. Love the concept but could do with a bit more polish on animation timing, audio mixing. I really enjoyed fearfully running down the halls with no weapons until I managed to find one. Controls/ movements are a little tough, so possibly some remapping could be useful.
Seems like a very dark story at first. Very interesting concept wish there was more story/dialogue to go with it. Voice acting could really bring this to life. Once I got to the second to last picture with the crank camera I could not find the perfect settings. Unsure what the crank and the toggle switch on the back do.
Neat concept had a great time figuring out the game and learning. And I had an idea had while playing to make moving around the map faster would be the wraiths extending the life of your torch as well. Stops the needs to travel back to safe areas.
Great stuff. The sound is great and I love the boss rush feel. Animations are very cool and the ending was surprising and lovely.
wish the controls were different would be very fun to play
time as health is a cool idea, but man i could not get it below 4:50
intro - very cool.
unsure how to move forward from the starting area....

Great job! I really enjoy the aesthetic.
Love the collectables and feel of combat.
I wish the platforming was a drop more fluid. For instance the float at the end of the dash feel like it slows the whole game down. Also the recoil from being hit seems fairly long. If the projectile from the purple enemy hits me I barely have enough time to get back to him before he is firing again. Not a huge deal if you dodge the strike but i think the timing could be better.
Love the collectables aspect and the level design. (Though there was an empty island? Feel like it was just there to catch you if you fell from above)

Sorry you didn't have time to finish!
Would love to see a few things in the future. Better flow - Its almost hard to find the enemies. I was not expecting to have to go "backwards" to find them Hitboxes - It felt like the sword didnt really hit the small spiders well. And essentially made me get hit more often than not. Village/Fires - Do these do anything? End Goal - Currently seem like the spiders just spawn forever. I maybe killed about 20 of them before I just let them overrun me. Mood- I think music and SFX would really help the mood here.

Neat Idea. Won in about 4min. The button mashing is a bit much maybe. I wish there were maybe other mechanics like some games do with fishing mini games. I think some logic to make sure I'm not hitting other buttons would help. Meaning i can hit all 4 of the arrow keys and be right.

Very neat game. Played once and got to 85 orders. I think if it was still adding new items i would've lost sooner.
The garden seems a little too quick to me potentially. If i could see my plants more easily it might make it viable to make the grow time slower.

Fun game!
The ramp up to challenging is a little slow and I feel like I could laze about for a while.
Does it ramp up off purchased upgrades? or time? I couldnt exactly tell, but didnt try to test it out much.
Ended up lasting about 5 min.
It was a fun event when i happened to shoot a treasure chest and it got lobbed into the air. Nice touch here.

Neat idea. Maybe I didn't understand it but the block breaker section did not always seem possible to not lose points.
Organ-ized Crime by ZungryWare 2023-01-12T03:59:14Z ♥ 1
Neat idea, but it gets a little repetitive. Also I found it a bit odd that the people don't have any reaction to me pulling out my tranquilizer gun. Neat Idea for the harvest theme, others thought of organ harvesting but this is a neat way of handling that.
