Cool concept! This takes the idea of games like plants vs. zombies and applies it to the running-out-space theme. More importantly, though, it was well executed. Nice graphics, fitting music, (seemingly) clean code. Nice work!
Very creative in terms of 3D box stacking and narrated instructions. The art was interesting as well. I found the first level too difficult to complete, even after two long tries and a seemingly full room, so a restart or reset button might be nice. Regardless, though, it is a cool result for a 72 hour game jam.
Very cute game! I think the art was my favorite part. The music was fitting as well. Even though you couldn't get to other difficulties, I think what you have is polished and unique, so nice work! Wish I could see where you would have gone with it next.
Nicely done! Everything felt smooth and well executed. Obviously the idea is not super innovative, but you acknowledged and embraced that in the name so no points off from me! I've worked with Godot previously as well, actually, and I have since moved on to Unity. I suggest trying it out, if you haven't already. The documentation is much much better, as you'd probably expect.
Cool game! Definitely an idea I haven't seen yet before, and very well executed. I haven't tried your improved version, but the trailer makes it look awesome!
This is a pretty cute game, with good music and a nice, hand-drawn art style that definitely has some appeal. To be honest, I was a little confused by some things: What did the orange towns mean? Where were the additional boxes coming from (i.e. when do I get more, and how many?) And what is the real limit on the number of boxes or the amount of money I can lose? Because I ended up with over 100 boxes, and with negative money, but neither of those caused a lose-condition.
I enjoyed this game a lot! Right off the bat, falling down the waterfall of poison felt very cool. The music and art were both well done, well themed, and engaging. The enemies were designed well. The abilities all felt useful and still balanced. Great job!
This was a pretty cool idea, and I liked the art style. There were a few things I think you could definitely improve on: Having to go all the way back to level 0 after failing a level just seemed to make things more frustrating and tedious. The game also seemed to run very slowly, but maybe that was intentional. And I think this game could definitely use music, but obviously if you don't have the time or manpower, you do what you can without it.
This is really well made. Good idea for the theme, well executed, awesome animations. I only had two complaints: you can't place the same thing twice without clicking on the purchase menu again; and some of the sound effects were too loud. Other than that, super awesome!
Pretty cool game! I like the backstory, and you definitely set up the mood with the start screen and shopping music. Good work.
Pretty fun! Definitely applied the theme well to a top down shooter. The music was kind of nice. Good sound effects and art. The bomb animation I especially liked. Nice work!
This game is great! Very good idea, perfect for the theme, good art and appropriate sfx, no apparent bugs, and a working leaderboard! Props to you.
Nice and simple. I like the idea, and the art design as well. The music is a little repetitive and doesn't loop very well though.
Good concept. The animations make it feel responsive, which is good, but sometimes you can skip a tile by tapping fast enough. I would also recommend a restart button, and making the "you died" sound not quite as loud. Other than those notes, I liked it!
This is a really fun, arcade-y game! The art is pretty stylish, especially the opening scene with the two planets and animated space background. The music is also very chill, and makes the game even more relaxing to play. I liked the abilities that you made so far, and I can tell you have some more cool ones lined up. Good luck with future updates!

Really enjoyed this!
I second the comments about the camera, though perhaps a solution that doesn't require freedom of camera movement is to kill the player if they go outside the camera bounds.
