Hexworld by icxon 2021-10-06T16:21:10Z

Really amazing aesthetic and great feedback to the player while playing. Loved the sfx and all the subtle responsiveness you've managed to use. A really amazing submission, I expect this one to go far :D

Breathe in Puzzle out by glimaleite 2021-10-04T18:19:45Z

Superb entry! It looks stunning and the puzzles are fun to solve :D

Ruins of Instability by francoisvn 2021-10-06T18:56:04Z

I loved this! I dont understand how this hasn't gotten more attention. The aesthetic is well curated and the subtle touches are really appreciated :D The combat was a little confusing at first, but I picked it up quickly. This is a great submission and I hope this is seen by more people soon.

RUIN ESCAPE by reccy 2021-10-04T18:23:15Z

A great submission :D I love the aesthetic and the game holds well with the theme of the jam. Well done!

Human Resources by lauchsuppe 2021-10-09T07:24:03Z

A fun game to play! Balancing was difficult and frustrating at times, but managing to get it just right was always rewarding :D

II-III-V by miziziziz 2021-10-04T05:50:32Z

That is so creative! Genuinely an impressive level of innovation with the movement and the graphics are perfect. Great job!

Instability by R3L0ad1 2021-10-06T16:25:17Z

Such an incredible submission :D It looks amazing and the movement is so smooth. The game is fun to play although quite difficult at times, it took a while to get a hang of the ropes. Overall, really superb!

Karawan by Rongo Matane 2021-10-05T16:31:16Z

This is so amazing! I love the aesthetic, the game looks beautiful and the narrative is really well told. I really liked the introduction of the different kinds of followers and the music perfectly suited the atmosphere. Superb!

SCANLINE by pdotjpg 2021-10-04T18:07:16Z

A really impressive submission! Congratulations :D The tone reminded my of portal and the atmosphere you've managed to create in so short an amount of time is incredible. Seriously well done! This is one of my favourites so far, the humour was amazing too!

Deepwell Safety Inc. by rock-gong 2021-10-06T18:49:18Z

Really great submission! Loved the sense of immersion you've managed to create and I found the concept intriguing :D The game was fun to play and the UI has been really well made. Loved the finer details like the plate for instructions on the desk, and the dialogue held together well. Well done!

// OVERDRIVE by Bastienre4 2021-10-06T16:30:05Z

Really good work! It was fun to play and challenging at times. I really liked the upgrade system as it helped add an extra layer of progression to the game :D

ShakyShaky by Arash Ghorban 2021-10-04T17:43:54Z

An interesting concept! I liked what you were going for but I would've liked more of an introduction to what was happening. Great submission!

Server Preserver by kypello 2021-10-04T18:43:05Z

A hilarious and stressful game to play. Loved to throw things at the server and frantically searching for the right item. Great job!

An oddly SATISFYING game by Duck Reaction 2021-10-06T16:34:29Z

This was amazing! Loved the physics based approach to the theme and I think you implemented the recording loop system really well. It was satisfying to play and overall I reckon its a brilliant submission.

Unstabubble! by Yigit Doruk 2021-10-08T19:37:02Z

A really great submission! Loved the portal-esque mood and the audio direction was really well done. The challenges were fun and the humour hit just right. Well done!

The Lesser Evil by Jon Topielski 2021-10-08T18:44:36Z

Superb! I loved the aesthetic and the game was so much fun to play. The movement was smooth and combat was engaging and well balanced. Great work!

Everything's Fine by Patsui 2021-10-09T07:07:19Z

This game was so amazing! It was a tonne of fun to play and I was laughing the whole time :D. Loved the aesthetic and the chaotic nature of gameplay.

Cultist aboard ! by Guilloteam 2021-10-06T17:23:40Z

Really loved the story, its superbly written and there were points where I was scared just playing it :D Well done!

Stabler by Cinar 2021-10-04T18:29:03Z

A really interesting idea haha, I love the title. The gameplay itself could have used a little more introduction and the enemies startled me at first, but after a little bit I got into the swing of things. The movement felt a little clanky at times: but that makes sense, its a stapler :laughing:. Great job!

Stabler by Cinar 2021-10-04T18:29:17Z

I loved the aesthetic too!

Stable Inc. by CorbenG 2021-10-04T18:34:41Z

I am honestly in awe. A superb game and for it to have been made in the time period is doubly impressive. It reminded my of dont touch anything at times and I found myself laughing while flicking random switches when it got tough. I loved aesthetic and genuinely one of the best entries I've seen so far. Thank you :D

Unstable Space by FaberNull 2021-10-04T17:52:51Z

This was amazing! I absolutely loved the artstyle and the atmosphere you've created. Great work!

Parcel Panic by PKZinpo 2021-10-04T18:11:41Z

Great submission! Superb aesthetic and I loved the chaotic nature of gameplay. Well done!

Charon by EthanKessler 2021-10-03T15:41:03Z

Thank you so much for stopping bye :D

Charon by EthanKessler 2021-10-04T18:24:57Z

@pincushion Thank you so much for playing. It really means a lot to get this kind of feedback from people playing the game. More barrels at the start is definitely a good idea haha, and I plan to expand the game a bit so that its not just barrels and lots more debris from other ships floating around :D

Charon by EthanKessler 2021-10-05T05:58:48Z

Thank you all so much for playing. The feedback is really helpful and I'll be sure to adjust the game in the future accordingly :D

Charon by EthanKessler 2021-10-06T18:51:12Z

@sleepystudios The barrels would drop directly down onto the boat when you steered under them :D I probably should have done a few more illustrations to better explain that :sweat_smile: @alex-chertilin & @freeworld thank you all so much for playing and the feedback is really valued.

Charon by EthanKessler 2021-10-09T17:14:50Z

@itzemii thank you so much for playing :D The barrels will drop whenever the boat is directly underneath them. I ran out of time to properly telegraph the engine's mechanics, but essentially the furnace behind you always needs barrels for fuel, and the barrels "exploding" / disappearing occurs when the furnace is replenished. There was an audio effect to show what was happening but it seems to have broken :sweat_smile: Nonetheless thank you! I worked really hard to get a good atmosphere, so I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

Lovecrafting by Concker_88 2021-10-05T16:23:50Z

Such an amazing submission! I'm in awe :D Love the aesthetic and I found myself really immersed in the game as time went on, loved the sound direction as well.

Kattonauten by Elastic 2021-10-04T19:22:55Z

Amazing submission! The controls were a little confusing at first, however I got it quickly and it was a lot of fun to play :D Challenging at times but always with great feedback. Superb!
