Visuals and audio are fantasitc they just scream with personality! The mechanics are simple but work well enough to not be annoying or clunky. Level design could use a bit more love because 1 level to 1 mechanic is just not enough to properly introduce, develop and explore the mechanics. But considering current difficulty of the levels and kind of unfairness this little amount of levels have some charm to it. Also thanks for few laughts! Nice entry : D
Neat game! Puzzles make good use of game mechanic but damn they hard. Visuals and audio work well with everything else. Good entry : )
Hahahahah, thanks for good laugh and wide smile : D
Super creative interpretation of the theme, great job! I am curious about the backstory, what was your first idea before your game crashed due to infinite loop? : P
Concept and interpretation of the theme is amazing but the gameplay execution... from where do i start? at the beginning i without knowing for about half minute left the map by just going left ( or right ). I didnt know i had a gun because the text happend to pop for no time ( border of the hitbox or something ). You just cannot avoid 1st mine and thats annoying as fuck... i know teaching the player but bruh everyone knows what landmine does it's piggy banking knowledge : P Inputs are super unprecise and clunky which doesn't help at all with avoiding the landmines or controling the chain of dwarfs. So in few places it's just more fun and easier to get killed than trying to dodge the landmines because dodging is unfun and tedious. You can also complete the game by going outside the borders. BUT the visuals are super cool for eyes! Sounds are simple but do the job. It's good game that just needs a bit more love : ) Nice entry!
Idea is good, but i had not much fun. Movement patterns are hard to keep track off making the strategic part more annoying and random. Overall lacks good indicators and visuals.
Intresting interpretation of the theme. It definitely was missing audio, which didn't help repetitiveness. It could use some random outcomes from time to time. Nice entry : )
Cool concept of planing your future steps. Nice entry :)
Movement and shooting feels clunky but every other aspect is at least good! Art style is nice but sometimes it kind of fucks with the collision of the platforms, effects work well, level design is great and it teaches the player slowly but surely how to play the game, audio is cool. Overal all nice concept, interpretation of theme and entry. GL!
I was playing way too long. But kind of enjoyed it and it was oddly satisfying... Funny and good interpretation of the theme : D
Everything i was doing felt like breaking the game and/or was bugged and it feels awkward. For me game is completly not finished from musical platformer which i didn't found to well bugs. Idea is good, i had some moments that i enjoyed, work on the game after the jam, it can be good : )
Visual are really enjoyable, Puzzles are nice. Main problem i had is tons of text which after few i started just skiping because i just wanted to play : P
Holy, audio and visual are soo fucking good... i felt like i am playing released mobile game. The gameplay was simple but it worked. Maybe i wouldn't play it for hours but few minutes a day on my phone? why not. Great entry!
I was actually having chills and got scared few times. Great entry : D
Visuals: I adore background in part 1, rest of backgrounds are great too, enemies worked well, planets where fine as well Audio: Works really well, simple and does the job. Gameplay: Main mechanic is nice but after playing it for some time ( finishing 1st part ) it didnt had anything more to offer for me. Level design felt just like random planets placed around. There was no moments of challenge ( only backtracking ) nor moments of discovery new things that we can do with it. So main mechanic definitely felt not explored enough which we can see both in obstacles and level design. BUT it is good mechanic! try to experiment with it after the jam, like adding diffrent obstacles, think about making some big jumps or think how it can change behaviour of the palents, etc. etc. Overall nice entry. Have a nice day : D
The game completely doesn't tell what to do so at first i just though we have mindlessly dodge the obstacles without any display of my score... and after a minute i turned the game off and rated poorly... but when i started writing comment i read about space and some kind of breaches... i played again and compleated the game and fairly enjoyed it, changed the ratings... But that doesn't change much that the game was very easy and not engaging for me maybe because our 2 tasks were really simple... it could be neat if we had to truly sacrifice one task over the other and the diffultly would be to finding the time to escape the loop. Graphics are nice i really like low-poly especialy tree, music for me was annoying and other sound effects are nearly non-existant BUT the concept of forcing player to multitask and doing one action from in this case skill game and other from kind of puzzle was neat!try to work around it after the jam : ) try diffrent genres maybe you discover something cool!
Neat concept, pixel art looks nice and minimalistic which is good because there are more and more of us on the screen and thats oddly satisfying when you leave the base with all the bois at once doing their tasks, level design feels clunky dont know why but it's quite smart to restart our path from time to time so it doesn't get boring by walking the same path over and over again. Speaking of boring... the most boring part of games imho is repetive waiting without noting new... so the fact that when you kill yourself your clone doesn't just stand where you died for the rest of time forces us in some places to awkwardly stand on button for the whole duration and it really feels like unskipable cutscene... it would be great if we could just press (R) and clone would not die but stand still the rest of time... it would remove this awkward waiting and add a bit more dynamics to the gameplay
Overall great entry :> Nice job!
Graphics and sound is nice. There is a bug where you just don't need any money to win the game... the bird is suprising but i just couldn't know he gives money... maybe if he cloud throw the money all the time and it just break in water it would give more information that you need to build some kind of platform.
at 1st i though it's going to be something between subnautica and terraria but sadly it's not
One of the best graphics i seen so far ^^ the animation was well made, the sound was great but gameplay itself i found repetitive so after few enemies boring
Cute game, funny interpretation of theme! controls are a bit clunky but fit iwth the game. Nice entry
I loved the mood of this game! i have explored few paths and even it's super short story i loved it! my decisions had surprisingly more impact than i expected... good take on theme, music was nice, art and animation fit great with gameplay... overall nice entry!
Very nice concept! I restarted the game once because i thought that my island is broken because i didn't have stone on it but it turns out i just had to get enough food to sail to next island that was a bit unclear... also there is that bug or just broken controls which causes that changing the building we trying to build is a bit annoying. The game idea can lead to really intresting gameplay if you will work on it outside the jam : )
And graphics are great!
The game was super interesting but oh boi there was bug over bug... walking midair, falling into ground, going through other blocks etc. idea is great but in current state it's unplayable : /
Short, little and nice text adventure, good job!
Super cute and nicely made art style, music was nice, the conpect was simple and interesting... nice game!
Simple, little and surprisingly fun. But there is a lot of improvements that can be made... 1st controls, stucking on buttons, some kind of challenge like: build 10combs = win, eggs could become rotted and after 10rotted eggs you lose or you have to win in x days etc.
Nice game
The plane movement was super intresting, super weird and super clunky at the same time, it deserves more love... but there is something in it thats just awesome! the game itself feels meh... some "juice" would be nice like: simple sounds, more speed, death animation with screenshake etc... bullet speed was nice but they didn't felt strong and impactful... once again: some sound, additional effects like particles, knockback etc.
Really nice looking puzzle game, simple and clear, controls are nice. One thing i would love to see is a way to revert last action
Super nice idea! i loved the interactions between hosts. would love to see you expand this idea! Only thing that annoyed me was that every host expect home had the same color... so diffrent colors would be lovely or maybe fix is bigger font when we are away so we can actualy read the text from a far
Nice entry!
Amazing, super clever and fun idea. I had flashbacks to picoctf : D The only problem i had was the movement... it felt a bit clunky excluding falling it just was clunky
very good entry! keep up good work and try to work on it outside the jam
This game is awesome! i had tons of fun playing this game the grab feels super good, the time slow down, blast of paint, satisfying sound and many more... the movement was intuitive and not annoying it just felt nice to jump around... if only paint didn't disappear it would be even better but i understand it could be tricky to keep good performance... amazing job guys!
Cool puzzle with a lot of humor... i loved the ending : D
The idea is great... but i seen few games where you build your own level on this game... BUT i didn't saw something like you did... the harder you make the level the more you get points pretty good solution to auto winning : P and adds that optimalization factor editor felt good, movement is not great not terrible...
overall nice game!
Wow nice concept! it was more like an experience than a game but ohh boi really relaxing and beautiful experience... Very great entry : )
also my highest rating in mood so far and possible it will keep this spot :)
Omg, this game is so cute and relaxing... Collecting is well polished and surprisingly satisfying, the other bioms where a nice suprise... Sandwich tasted great :D ( if i could eat it : P )
Small, simple, completed and well done game ^^
ps. your game needs and deserves more ratings, to be rated you need to play and rate other people games, gl hf
Solid execution of simple concept with nice juiciness
Well, this was an experience
Really nice game, i had good vibes to WC3 TowerDefence maps... after 11years it kind of gets boring ( for me atleast ) but there is a lot of potential IMO. try to work on this great idea after the jam ^^
What a great puzzle, everthing had more of less sense, graphics and music where beautiful... only thing that annoyed me was that it's always 90degree flip, and sometimes it felt like game difficulty came from that it was harder to read... i would prefer to have 100% control move the rotation
overall very good game : )
Great job. Little, cute, well made puzzle that just works... not really my type of game but i did enjoy it anyway
Music is very good, graphics are super charming and works for your game just right... concept is really cool, but gameplay felt like it's just w8ing simulator, even when the shop was introduced i felt this way
Game gets quite boring after short time and confusing at 1st... So i ended up with no time that i truly had fun, the gameplay idea is really great but the execution not so much, i would love to same some kind of upgrades, cash, special fishes that you can eat and give you fuel, restore hull strength, give fast and short boost, give stacking movement... etc. and also something to do expect swiming left and right... maybe dash? which allows us to collect these powerups and eat special fishes
graphics are nice
Really good concept, i like the combination of platformer and puzzle in your game, the movement was simple but effective, simple graphics and effects added some charm. I had only one problem: that the level resets when you die, many times i build good level and failed on the platformer part and i was annoying to rebuild it each time... good solution would be something like: R is resetting everything, death is just respawning our character
Good 1st game, simple, quite fun with nice graphics, good job : )
Nice game for learning Unity last week : D
It feels nice to control your stick-man especially landing spot
From story side... there is an "ok" from me, have a nice day! *flies away*
I had really good time playing your game, it's simple but effective, game feel is there too, screenshake, great shot sound, nice looking bullet, decal after hitting an enemy and some kind of fog of war, upgrades. nice game : )
The controlls are annoying but still made me smile, the black fog adds some mistery to the game... simple, small, nice game
I like how the boss looks like, the music was nice, i found the controls a bit weird maybe because we could only attack left and right in top down game and item usage on attack was annoying especially when interacted with potions but overall nice, simple, little, fun game
I love hybrid of pixelart and lowpoly, gameplay is funny, i love the fact you dont have to catch the sheeps to succeed, rolling them works too <3 Music is super relaxing, nice game!
Controls feels like from Super Meat Boy and i can't control our ball perhaps because i am too used to Celeste controls, estetics are nice, HitBoxes of saw or overall our character could be a bit more forgiving because sometimes it feels unfair when it looks like we are just dying in the air... also Wall-Jumps are done well, overall nice platformer : )
Nice lowpoly graphics, audio was nice, gameplay was hard but not unfair, after few runs some tactics started to emerge, like only last hiting, feeling of when we are going to win the duel in the air is hard to get and feels a bit random because its really hard to tell if we are above enemy but there's a way around so thats not a big deal
overall very nice game!
Nice entry, music was great, it looked good but gameplay, need less to say it was super short, i would love to experience longer story and see how our decisions form the galaxy, not saying 1h campaing with tons of decisions and endings but like 2 more decisions like those we experience in the game, anyway overall nice job!
Nice, cute, little card game with good theme interpretation
I dont understand one thing... from where is the decistion that life ends the game? it was quite dissapointing tbh, i was expecting like after i will get a life i will be able to place deathstars or so : P and then the goal is like achieve 10matter/sec which is quite an difficult task considering than we have limited space and things are under gravity with each other
also it would be lovely if asteroids wold bound around the canvas, because now they are like "poof! aaaand it's gone"
idea of combining planets to nebulas, a lot of mass to black holes is great but a bit under develop
great job! Work on it after the jam : )
i love how the characters look the combination of pixelart and lowpoly is always nice for me, nice little and cunning spell system ( i see what you did there )
1st few minutes of gameplay were priceless, loved the graphics, audio and how bizarre the bazzar was ^^
Loved the mood and graphics, idea of merging narrative with gameplay is sweet, nice game
Graphics are nice, audio is really good, but gameplay itself got pretty boring after 7 waves, maybe if there where some kind of upgrade to your light it would be more intersting... like Hold the button to shot like shot gun, increased firerate, boomerang missiles when killing more than 1 enemy, 2nd explosion on enemy kill etc.
overall great work : )
If the game had nice background music and other sound/visual effects to making it more spicy i would ignore the fact it's a classic clicker... i was expecting something more like flash game called "motherload" then "Cookie clicker"
Audio is really great, character movement speed is well balanced, it's not too slow so it doesn't feel like game is just trying to kill you but also it's not too fast so the difficulty is there, nice work as entry ^^
Cool concept i was a bit bored at the end of upgrading my weapon so adding something like stamina to run for few seconds, would be nice as a speed up and also it would give something to do besides collecting materials and also it could improve combat by making it more dynamic... estetics are good, audio not so much ( i muted it after 1st night )
Woo, fun, simple and done well, nice work! i had some problems with controls from time to time but nothing annoying
Cute graphics, funny idea, i loved the fact we are too kind to walk over grass : 3 nice job! work on it after the jam, you could add some kind of upgrades like running on cooldown, air sucking to suck trash from range etc.
Don't know what to say tbh... good game i guess everything was on nice level, my mind is empty for improvements
Simple platformer with nice background music and graphics... movement is not bad bad there is a ton of way to improve it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorTG9at90g&feature=youtu.be&list=PLJ6aq_dKDFJITB8U7JHbUTx76xROewlQ_ there are some tips and tricks for platformer movement enjoy!
Graphics are lovely, audio simple and effective, gameplay simple and fun, but i think you forgot about the theme... overall nice game! try to improce it after a jam : )
Graphics and animation of main character are lovely! As platform lover i think i give it a long shot but sorry i couldn't finish the game... i just can't deal with the controlls there are some good tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorTG9at90g&list=PLJ6aq_dKDFJITB8U7JHbUTx76xROewlQ_&index=4&t=0s
Also there is a lot of mess with level design... for example: you jump into to void because you don't see platforms below, there is too many roads too early and because of that you don't know where to go in bad way.. and felt like i left the proper map and jump on random glitched platforms... BUT as your 1st game it's really good! please continue your game after the jam : )
Love the isaac's vibe from this game! mainly graphics and mood... the attack felt weird... maybe just because u had to spam it and the feedback was not satisfying... things like: sound when u hit/slash an enemy in half, particles of blood on floor, decal, screen-shake, knockback etc. same in other direction my only information when i lose hp is on UI. The idea of souls as money is cool but i would love to see upgrades to our character instead of towers, overall fun and simple : )
Love the Kurzgesagt-like graphics, i would love to see the other viruses shot too! even randomly just to feel like we are not alone : ) also it letf like there is something wrong with hitboxes but i am not sure what
A bit short, but ohh boi i loved it! i was really relaxing to walk the park pathway and watch objects pop left and right with nice squish... i would love to see more details like birds on trees flying near player, leaves falling on the ground etc.
Also camera is a bit buggy near the trees
Game looks great while zoomed in, and overall art style is intresting. The idea of smashing letters into other letters and words is really cool but i would like to see some kind of speed up on pressing something... now i am w8ing for my pipe-monster to work : D
ain't gonna lie... Controls are shit... movement feels clunky, hitboxes are simply bullshit, wall jumps are unintuitive and weird, there are some good tips and quality of life for platformer type games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yorTG9at90g&list=PLJ6aq_dKDFJITB8U7JHbUTx76xROewlQ_&index=4&t= enjoy!
but the idea of building your ship on hostile planet is really cool, character is great and overall graphics too, sound is chill
fun and simple like a pico8 game should be : D Ignoring the fact that level design is sometimes annoying and simply unfair i had a lot of fun playing your game good work! The idea of converting one thing into another is very good in terms of theme and innovation... i always put everything into battery... i know you had to keep the idea of "your life..." but i would love to see converting movement speed into jump strength and vice-versa but in return be oneshoted... also it would be cool if u could kill enemies mario-like jumping on them ^^
Throwing people around is extremly satisfying and fun! cool concept, graphics and audio i would love to see some powerups like throws enemy super fast so they start to price everyone in their path, or bounce once of the wall before dying, exploding etc... and also one thing annoyed me a bit... when enemies enter the battlefield they go through the gates which is good but when they escape they just disspper after touching gate this part was a bit annoying
keep up great work! HF&GL out side the jam
Game feels fine but a bit slow i would like to see something like *1.25 faster!
This is really great concept! Ignoring few bugs like stucking in walls, and poor pathfinding because of time restrictions i guess... this game need just a bit more polish, some content which will empower that what u already have and would play! ( bug fixing too ofc : P ) i hope you will work on it out side the jam! HF&GL
That's good foundation for zombie shooter... i didn't found a way to regain health ( maybe for killing? ) so there is no way to pass over ~3-4 rounds, the shop should spawn near player or give us indication where it is and that the round is over ( i thought it's bugged or something when i finish 1st round )... also i know graphics isn't really a thing but some background would help a lot with movement! hf and gl

I love the esthetics!
Gameplay is very chill and cool for few minutes... I wish it would be more strategic by giving the player information where given packed goes, it would allow planning the routes for the drivers.
Other small things: I liked the dynamic of running out of space and size of boxes, i would like to see the "buy driver" button to be grayed out and display amount needed instead of just pooping when it's ready (unless i didn't understand something)
The game also needs some smarter RNG and balance... The player was just flooded with packages and because there is not much player can do it felt unfair

My system just detected trojan in your game... i suggest checking your computer
GoBat by Bloodbane 2023-05-11T20:39:02Z ♥ 0
Music fits very well! I loved the bunny animations!
Intresting concept could use a little bit of polish and would be very happy game! : D
Other things: - Controls said i shoot with X and while this is true, while using A for it i can shoot diagnally, seems like bug with X control - Increase speed of sonic waves, it just feels weird when i can out run them or move at equal speed - Adding indicators which will inform the players if they are in grab/delivery range (it can be anythink, little dot, text "press Z to grab/deliver", glow around the character, ring around bunnies, something

I have read the devlog, rough! Good job on delivering (no pun intended) the game after all!
I like the retro style of it (Art and sounds) as for the gameplay i have some feedback: - Player ship should move automatically as the player moves the mouse (without having to hold the button) - Fire should be on RMB Those two can be summaried to: Dont fight with player habits! It's losing battle most of the time - I was confused when i found out that you can actually place more than one package in one ship, feedback suggests that one is enough - with that being said i would recommend implementing some minor randomness like: Distance from the player, speed at which it moves, amount of airlocks on the ship, length of it, direction from which it comes or maybe even things like: amount of ships at once or add a counter how many packages given airlock can hold

I liked it, reminded me instantly of recent title Contraband Police, which is good game
Music is very chill and fits well, cute graphics
Biggest issues for me where: A) lack of tooltips to make sure if given item is what i think it is but more importantly i wasn't sure what the right machine options do exactly B) Arrangement of UI is quite clunky, i dont have specific propositions but i think it should be built from the start, things to focus on: No unnecessary eye movement (distances), no unnecessary overlays of the UIs, general formating, etc.
LittleOV by ski11az 2023-05-03T11:01:13Z ♥ 1
I liked the hook mechanic a lot! i would just want to see bigger grapple range! Also note to dash... maybe it's just my personal preference but i would like it to work in the direction we are facing instead of WSAD, i think it would be also helpfull if dash had bigger cooldown (2/3 sec) because now it's often more optimal and reliable to just use dash and that just feels like a big waste when hook was so cool!
Nice art too : D
Food Factory by oscarglo 2023-05-03T10:52:31Z ♥ 1
Definitely underdeveloped, could be very cool game about cultivation on an island if improved : D
I would recommend allowing using 1-9 keys for selecting items to use
Haitatsu by Answer21 2023-05-03T10:46:02Z ♥ 0
The narration was nice, animations where solid i loved the jump animation! But many other aspects are missing few things... Controls are generally clunky, collision of the world felt weird, the camera should be zoomed out because sometimes you barely could see where you should go, in current set-up camera logs behind the player therefore we see even less where to go, it's weird to force shift+space as jump without checkign the velocity of the player... because you can just hold shift in place and still jump
There are also few bugs: - players can just fly on the walls - when starting moving our sprite increases in size
Stacked Up! by MashUpGames 2023-05-03T10:33:12Z ♥ 4
Love the puzzle mechanic!
Super cute robota and generally good graphics
Very good entry
Death Delivery by mackelio 2023-05-03T10:22:41Z ♥ 2
Very nice entry! Love the quite innovative approche to the theme
Honestly i would be quite cool game when developed further! With more randomized people positions and quirks so it becomes more replayable, new levels would help too, maybe some other events or activies!
And random though: What if it would be multiplayer where you compete with other reapers to get as many targets as you can, add to this some powers like: changing someones look, adding traps, helping people espace, or other boosts and i imagine it beging quite fun with friends (bigger map and people would be nessesary in this case)
Rover Herd by JHax 2023-05-03T10:03:02Z ♥ 1
Cool game, simple but effective
I felt like shepherd dog with his flock of very weird sheeps
