Love the music. Would have appreciated some extra UI indicating when the next weapon would appear, one time the weapon swapped right when I was spam clicking a melee weapon, and I blew myself up with a rocket launcher! Overall, a fun horde shooter!
Loved Mechwarrior 2 so mech games are my jam. The slo-mo mechanic was a bit jarring, but very useful once you get used to it. Appreciated being able to see my character through walls as well. very cool!
Love games where one mechanic has multiple functions (attacking and movement). This is extremely well executed and I would actually love to see this game turn into something bigger. Only reason why I stopped playing was because I started to run into performance issues on 2-4, but that's probably my bad for playing the HTML5 version. Great submission!
I can't seem to reach any sort of end state and my score keeps dropping, making it difficult to keep track of my high score. I think the writing was a bit over bearing. Love the art tho, and the visually busy radar screen added to the tension.
EDIT: I WAS NOT AWARE OF WHAT THIS GAME’S STORY WAS IMPLYING, AND MADE THIS COMMENT WITHOUT BEING AWARE OF IT’S INTENTIONS.
Got a high score 55. Really interesting mechanic, and I loved the UI. I wish I saw more of a variety of the games during my run. Great job, and happy halloween.
I switched into the nerd in the gym and got obliterated! :laughing: Creative idea and super difficult game. The art and music is really good as well. I kinda wish you moved a tad faster as it can be difficult to get out of a soon to be unsafe area very easily.
Wish there were more zombie spawns to make it more challenging. I also kept getting attacked after the zombie died. Also their corpse continued to rotate after me, after getting punched. Very ambitious! :thumbsup:
Such a creative idea! Really felt the pressure of having to take notes live while serving all the customers, why doesn't this professor record his lectures?! :laughing: My customer satisfaction rolled over to negative percentages so I'm not sure if there's supposed to be a game over state. Great job on this submission!!! Managed to take some horrible notes here.

I had a lot of tense moments dodging obstacles, and the difficulty curve felt satisfying. Great submission!

Chaos! I was laughing hard when the blue dudes started stealing my stuff. It was pretty fun though. Figuring out all of the power ups was engaging but maybe having more tools to manage the chaos would have helped. Nice work!
Super satisfying to control! I felt very cool drifting past a speed camera :sunglasses:
The introduction of new mechanics was well paced and gave a lot of nice "a-ha" moments figuring out how they can be used to set a lower time.
Great job!!
I was super drawn into this world and the characters, I think it's because of the great writing! Great work on this submission!
Was there supposed to be an ending sequence? I was really looking forward to the party! :sweat_smile:
Wow this game is great, figuring out the optimal ways to use your abilities was very satisfying (like shoveling to make them miss a stone toss!). And the economy was very well balanced. I didn't realize that I could return teleport home the first time around, so I think I made it a lot harder on myself having to walk back home just to heal :joy: Great submission!
It scared the crap out of me when the gun appeared in the second level! :laughing:
Great work with the writing, and the music fit perfectly too. The pigeon is somehow very cute and sad. Awesome submission! Messenger pigeons never forget.
I am a big fan of Her Story and this game really scratched that itch for me. Great work! It was fun to dig around emails, I was laughing hard when I realized that the spam emails were from other players.
Lots of ambition for a game jam, keep it up!
Cute art style! The last level was a challenge, but I managed to beat it eventually. And great work on the music as well!
This is very special! The physics is on point and the graphics did a good job conveying information. I feel like this game would be particularly fun in a speed run setting. Super well done!

Great game! The steering was satisfying and upgrading the car felt awesome as well. It made me think of Carmageddon the moment I got into the game, I swear those grandmas were aiming for the car :joy:
Tried my best to FC "I Have an Apartment Complex" but couldn't in the end! :laughing: It was a little trippy watching the icons get closer, maybe adjusting their size as they approach would have helped a little bit! The songs were well charted. I'd like to see what an 'expert' difficulty chart would look like! awesome work!
I love imagining that someone ordered 30 grills for their new house! :laughing:
Great work! I was able to grab multiple items and drop items that didn't belong as a result. The lounge in particular was a little finicky and the music was only playing for my left ear. Polish aside, I do really like the idea, and I bet some more time could make this game very fun. Keep it up!
The visual design is super clean, and I really enjoyed the music. The UI was well done and zipping around Toronto was satisfying. I managed to make 59 bucks on my day!
What do you think about adding some visual indicator that you're going slow enough to make max tip?
Simply wow, it's super impressive how much you guys got done during the game jam. I had fun learning all the commands for the drone manager, and all of the dialogue and story sequences were super funny (I'm convinced that L.A.R.A is just a sassy human!) The fake OS looked amazing and it felt chaotic to manage the windows in all the right ways. Fantastic work!
Damn, I feel bad for I did to Edwin. Music was on point, and I had fun with all of the minigames. I hope that whoever recorded that last song gets better soon!
It was really fun to drift through the town and the increasing complexity of the recipes added a lot depth and management that I enjoyed. I think the camera could be a little bit more quick as when I drove north, I wasn't able to see what was in front of me anymore. This game would be fun to speed run!
Pretty difficult! Nice work on the pixel art too, it was fun to figure out the correct sequence for each level.
it was very satisfying to connect the planets together. And the graphics were very informative! I found it was kind of difficult to lose, but it was very chill and pleasant.

Managed to get 23 deliveries! This was a ton of fun, and I'm getting an awesome WarioWare vibe from the graphics. The difficulty curve was satisfying and I had a lot of fun "close-call" moments. Maybe zooming out the map would make it easier to navigate the streets though. Great work!
Nice game! I really liked the music, and I am a firm believer that every game should have a grappling hook no matter what :joy:
Sometimes, grappling would unexpectedly change my rotation and slam me into a planet unexpectedly. Great work though, keep it up!
Had to work hard to achieve this time! I hope you enjoyed our game!
fast.png
so cute! You guys managed to do a lot with the art, and the game was fun to play. I had a panic moment when a cat was in the middle of knocking over something, but the trashcan was full! Good use of audio too which made it easier to keep track of the cats. Great job!
fits.png
Great work on this game! Managing fuel was a fun bit of challenge and I appreciated the color coding of the different packages.
What do you think about adding a way to tell distance on the waypoint UI?
Keep it up!
It all clicked when I right-clicked for the first time! I think the map was busted in the WebGL build but it looks like it was working for other people. The first time I got hit by a train it actually scared me :laughing: Great work!
What do you think about changing the crosshair color so it blends in less with the buildings?
Very beautiful graphics! Great work with this game, it's incredible how much you guys got done during this game jam. Really enjoyed the voice acting as well, keep it up! :thumbsup:
Wow, let's just say I am glad that repairs are free :sweat_smile:
I really liked the music and atmosphere that the sound effects created. I did eventually get enough upgrades to carry multiple gold bars at once! Which was very satisfying. Keep it up!
i really liked this game. the future inverse and interview modes sound like there's a lot of potential for some real devious reporting! the writing was very funny too. what do you think about adding a timer for a sort of hard mode?
Great art style! The game really clicked when I figured out how the drifting works, and the fast pace was exciting too. Great work!
Awesome job with the graphics. I feel like you really nailed an interesting retro computer with vector graphics combo with the look! The sounds were also satisfying too. Pretty fun as far as endless runners go, though I think a visual cue for the driver's range for delivering packets would have helped. Great work! infobahn.png
It was a little difficult to spot the destination, but it was still pretty fun.
How did you create those models? they look amazing!
I ended up saving the forest by just mashing the boars haha, it was awesome to see my boar army take on the machines. Also it was creative to have the forest being cut down be your health bar. Great submission!
A lot of the art made me laugh. I spent way too long trying to tango with the necromancer too lol. Good work with the summoning theme. Overall, good job!
P.S. Does the dog have a name? We must know
I would totally play a full version of this. Very smooth and intuitive movement. Good level design too, I had a cool moment where I was running on top of the crane while he was running inside of it, pretty cinematic haha. Also, I don't think I own a stapler too now that I think about it.
Love a good cooking game, and the music was rocking. I think labeling the ingredients would have been useful, either that or some UI telling us what we already put into our cup. Great submission though! Loved seeing coins teleport into my tip jar haha.
Super fun and very nice satisfying controls. I had a really cool moment where I used an enemy to damage boost up a steep hill, that was awesome. Super pretty lighting and great vibes too. I would totally play more if this was a full game. Amazing submission!
I love the voxel models! The game was pretty fun, and the different enemy types added a good amount of variety. Very satisfying to melt down the bosses once I reached higher levels. I think a UI element for your current level would have been useful, I saw my left mouse attack upgrade but I wasn't sure why haha. Great submission!!
I don't know any Portuguese but I had a ton of fun regardless. Fantastic art and great strategy as well. I love learning about different cultures and you guys did a great job combining gameplay with cultural elements. Great submission!
Fun stuff! The birds looked pretty cool and the game itself gave me some cozy flash game vibes. The later levels kinda got hard to tell what segments were not colored in. Great submission though!!
I survived 2m 12sec! This was very fun, I kinda wish that the numbers would randomize after each summon (though honestly it was hard enough), and the game started to lag towards the end. Great submission! I would totally play more of this.
Fun game, but man, is it dark! Love the art style though; the shadows and eerie vibe really set the mood. I love stealth games but I don't really see them pop up very often so thank you for making one. The writing did make me laugh. Great submission! Keep it up!
Once I got the rhythm of pulling the orb and then dashing, the game started to click. I got confused by the hands dying animation cause it almost looked like I can pick up the red orbs they held. Great work!
Great submission. Really enjoyed the fast-paced gameplay and the mouse look was properly implemented as well. Was that who I thought it was at the end? :flushed: Great work!
Managed to win all the arguments! Love the art work, especially the UI animations, and the music was great too. I think I managed to cheese some of the fights by spamming charge-bot lol. Also lots of funny card descriptions. Great work!
I miss playing hidden object games. Loved the writing and the music. The vine boom sound effect made me laugh lol
The song is a banger, and I really like the theming + writing. It felt good to have a giant army but I wish my soldiers would try to prioritize some of the more dangerous enemies instead of a building :laughing:. Great work!
Loved the music. I loved turning on all the monsters and slaying everything I could. It was addicting to slay a giant group of monsters. What do you think about adding an item shop to upgrade yourself? Great submission!
I can't believe this is really multiplayer, amazing! This could grow to be really fun with some more polish. Great submission, very unique compared to other LD games.
I cannot believe this is a real gameboy game, I was so happy when this loaded up on my Analogue Pocket. I got really lucky and got a perfect attack on the boss at the end. Amazing pixel art, and the music was absolutely fire too. I would absolutely play more of this. Was this made with GB Studio?
Love the art, and the UI was very informative as well. Music was a certified hood classic lol. Great work!!a.png
The music was pretty great. And the dialogue + writing was very funny. Took me a while to figure out that I needed to shoot the real boss instead of just skeletons haha. Movement and shooting felt pretty good, and it was fun to balance shooting at the skeletons vs. the real boss. It didn't seem like there was a point in aim down sights though, it felt perfectly accurate without it. Great submission though! Good work!
CUTE CAT!!
This game is super fun and addicting. Very deep strategy in choosing which enemies to get rid of. Love that the enemies drop their corresponding element's weapon. The art and sound effects were great too. Would absolutely play a full version of this. Great submission!

Love the art! The tones for each key was really helpful (I just wish the music was a little quieter so that I can hear them better). The slime looked great too! Good Job!
Had fun managing the animals to stay on the circle lol, it kind of reminded me of trying to get pets to sit still for a photo. It took me a while to figure out that I was supposed to click on the symbols to actually perform the summon. I did manage to summon the giant... thing at the end though! The art style is amazing and the sounds fit the mood too, good work!
Screenshot 2024-04-21 192900.png
Great game, it kind of threw me back to classic mobile gaming (in all the good ways). Good job introducing the mechanics slowly as well. What do you think about limiting where the player can draw walls? I started to just draw walls around the spawners and that got me pretty far. Good job folks!
The music is a banger, and I love the sprite work as well. Tons of strategy in choosing what to summon and having a leaderboard is awesome, it's very addicting. This could definitely be turned into a full game. Fantastic submission, and great work.
Great art style and killer music too. I love the GB aesthetic. A HUD for health would have been useful tho but I saw you guys mentioned that in the description. Great submission!
The writing was funny and I really dig this art style. Also laughed at the pile of bodies at the end. Would totally play more in this style. Great submission!
Building a giant army and watching them fight was super satisfying. Great work! As I was playing, I realized how to place my buildings down better. I even started to root for certain allies (go hellcats lol). What do you think about adding a stats screen at the end (allies summoned, enemies defeated, etc.) Great submission!
Screenshot 2024-04-16 222439.png
Very impressive adding accessibility settings in a game jam, big kudos there. Some proper chaos once the dudes started to walk around haha. Love this style of games and the art style is really cute. Great sound effects and music too. Great submission! P.S. Just curious, are the models randomly generated through code?
The music and art style is absolute fire, I can't believe how good this looks! Very satisfying once I figured out how to position my cats strategically. It'd be nice to get to receive some more battery pickups and once I got to 237 it stopped spawning in stuff. Otherwise, fantastic work on this, great submission!! Also, I did not know you can change the default "Run Game" text in itch lmao.
(me and my homies post invasion)

Great art style, and the desk punch + getting fired animations were absolutely hilarious. Loved the little detail of my computer clock being synced up to my desk top. It'd be nice to know how many mistakes I have remaining before getting fired. Is it possible to just skip the current week once you've hit the quota? Great submission!!
P.S. Does the guy's hand hurt from slamming his desk so much?
Love watching the battle. I guess you're supposed to influence the war, but I couldn't figure out what each temptation does. Great work!
Loved the art style and animations. It was very satisfying to watch my army fight against other armies. Also I was very excited when I got to summon my own golem lol. I do wish my minions would follow me a bit closer though, some of them would get stuck on trees. I would totally play a full version of this. Great work and great submission!
Really cool game with some tricky puzzles! Love the different wizards and they added some great variety to the game. The pixel art is super neat and the music sets a great vibe. It's awesome how the levels get harder as you go, though I wish it was easier to tell where the wizards are facing. But overall, it was a great experience. Good job and great submission! Also thank you so much for making an HTML build.
Loved that the crows had collision with the player, it was fun to push them around lol. I thought the player animations were very smooth as well. Nice short and sweet collect-a-thon. Good work!
Managed to finish! Love the note editor and great song choice too. What do you think about adding a note streak counter?
It was fun to multitask the traffic signals. The cars behaviors were super well done (traffic jams and crashing). It took a sec to get used to the acceleration of the cars, but I was able to put up a final score of 168. The music was also a banger. Great submission!
WOW, this is genius. When my team and I were brainstorming games, we actually brought up the "Signal" app as a joke, but I never would have thought someone would go all out with that idea. Super well executed and a perfect amount of creepy. Great submission!
Cool game! It got interesting when I had to push stuff around after triggering the antennae. The noises genuinely surprised me too! Good work.
Funny concept, I really thought this was going to be normal baseball lol. Maybe it would help if there was some UI indicator to see which character you're controlling?
The driving was really fun, and the difficulty curve was perfect as well. I really liked the visuals for the signal jammer. Great work guys!
I always wanted to learn morse code, this honestly seems like a great way to learn. Really like the graphics as well. Good job!
I might just be too trustworthy for the apocalypse, literally everyone I let in was evil haha. I understand that turning the antenna helps the volume, but maybe it should be a little faster to turn? Overall, the concept is super cool!
I liked the beeps and boops. Really cool atmosphere too. The gameplay itself was really unique.
I really liked the music. And it was satisfying to watch my credits grow faster and faster. Cool submission!
Such a great idea. You guys really captured the necrodancer vibe very well, but you still did a great job adding your own charm and identity. The soundtrack is an instant classic as well haha.
Even though I didn't quite get the hang of it, I really like the idea! Conlangs are super interesting to me and it's super clear you guys brought a lot of expertise to this submission. Also, the visual aesthetic of the .pdf is superb. Great submission!
Good difficulty curve, it was fun to multitask and trying to remembered who was good for what tasks. The writing was super funny as well. Also I love that you used TIC-80, have you tried out picotron yet?
Love the art and music! The gameplay itself is super unique too. Sometimes I would get surprised when the line would start on top of the first row of smoke but that's probably a skill issue haha. The code sharing idea is also ingenious as well, way to get people involved in the comments. Awesome submission!

Thanks for checking out our game!

Awesome submission! I didn't even know it was possible to put together a real gameboy game in such a short amount of time. Unfortunately I ran into the same issue as @aniretti but otherwise, great submission!
This is such a cool idea! As someone who plays a lot with synths, I got a lot of satisfaction from playing. The visual effects are really dope as well. I only got to round 4 but I had a lot of fun. What do you think about adding combining different wave shapes?
Super fun and ambitious idea. The audio and visuals are all on point! I really enjoyed the puzzles. Also huge bonus points for writing this in Odin. I didn't even know raylib could export to web, I gotta try that out next LD! Great submission.
Super fun! I really like the animations of the helicopter. Also the plot twist was really cool!
Awesome submission. Love seeing so many horror games this game jam, but honestly this one is the scariest and most "complete" one so far. You really nailed the atmosphere and everything. Great work.
Nice arcade horde shooter vibe. Really impressive that this was done with just SDL, I've always wanted to try going without an engine for a Ludum Dare but it seems intimidating! Nice submission
Really cool atmosphere, I wish the camera was a little more zoomed out but there was some strategy in trying to find the safest route. Good work!
I really liked the difficulty curve. The voice lines and audio were very charming too. Great submission!
Super strong submission, I never thought I would be scared of a red dot. The visuals and sounds were super strong. And the way the sound waves bounced around the hallways was also super cool. Ultimately I couldn't get too far because I was legit too creeped out, but that's just a testament to y'alls great work!
