That was funny. The faster the cat got, the more I panicked and finally lost the game. The music was really fitting too and I liked the comic introduction. It was not that easy to see which abilities could be activated where and I think there should be a max time you can play dead because it was a bit too strong.
I love it! I really liked that it even had some kind of take-away message at the end. The whole story could've been build around that (earlier hints on what the main character is missing or what she needs to be remembered of).
The atmosphere is great and I love the idea of these popping up messages. I only didn't really understand why Orla also heard stuff (which I didn't heard btw - were there actual sounds at these points?) and talked like she was walking together with Maisy? The end was a bit abrupt too, but other than that I really enjoyed the writing and felt like I really get to know these two characters.
The grahpics are awesome. I couldn't beat the game though. Some kind of UI to help the player know if he is on the right track would be great. Maybe a counter for how many people you talked to in the righted order which also gets reset when you do something wrong. Another little thing could be to explain the task of the player inside the game aswell.
Banger!
I like the deep sea setting. I was a bit sad that there was no third minigame with the oxygen, but for the short time I think it was very good :)
Really cool game with a lot of content for 72 hours :O I also really enjoyed the music - somehow reminded me of Mario Kart :D one thing I found a bit annoying was that Character which sometimes got stuck on walls, steps and I couldn't jump with full force when I was standing right at a wall.
Ressource Management can be so much fun if it's balanced out well! I think you did a great job on placing the different and with giving them certain requirements to keep running. The continuously rising numbers really helped with keeping my motivation up - maybe some more satisfying sounds would've helped.
I thought first, that building all that stuff wouldn't be necessary since earth already has all ressources, but spreading to the other planets made everything so much faster and I didn't even you Silicium and Gold.
I could've used some quality of life features such as ordering your rockets or zooming the map, but that's probably not in scope for a 72h jam. Art Style could've been more consistent.
All in all I enjoyed this entry very much. Good job!
The browser version didn't load for me and the download doesn't seem to be the finished game? You are a box and there are yellow moving balls but I can't shoot or pick up anything. Can you help me?
Very cute game. At first very relaxed, getting incredibly busy with more and faster dwarfs.
I needed to laugh because the game just crashed the first time when my only dwarf died with that "ough" sound xD
I'm also a bit sad that I couldn't have more than 4 dwards running around at the same time or so since my aim was to crowd the entire screen with them. But it was probably a good decision since at very fast speed, it's really likely that they will catch a dragon instead of a dragon catching them.
It felt more like an unlimited sandbox-y game since there were no limits for the upgrades and I had very much fun. Sadly I could not come to the point, where I would only keep buying dwarfs and they would bring in new money fast enough without needing to shoot these beautifully animated beasts of fire.
I think I had very much fun with that entry. Great job!

Cute game. I loved the art and the idea was very different from everything I saw before. Very cool typing mechanic. I'd have liked the characters to actually have something to tell, so one could get to know each other better - could of course also be a critique to the dating culture where one only needs to "deliver" the right phrases with the right timing and nobody cares for serious conversation (maybe a bit harsh, sorry). I really liked the game :)
Great game, cool graphics, maybe a bit more action-y music? The game feel was especially good. Getting the long jumps felt awesome and the sounds of hitting multiple souls in a row + this weapon spin gave me a similar satisfaction as multi kills in VALORANT.
It would be great to have an option to skip the intro and a fast reset (instead of restarting the whole game) as it's obviously intended to speedrun it.
My best time after about 10 tries was 1:38!
Very minimalistic but incredibly polished. And so many levels with so many ideas to combine your very simple mechanics! Its a bit like Dark Souls. In the first level after the ones with the yellow double jump thingys I ragequitted xD Nevertheless I had much fun.
The art style is delicious. I couldn't finish the unfortunately because of some street sign dude. Another thing, which would've have added a lot of juice to the game, are hit feedback sounds. Controls were a bit clunky but this is part of the experience! Great job!
Verily, mine eyes have witnessed a most amusing game! Though the bats did vex me sorely, striking me down a fair few times, until I did discover the rapid fire gun technique, which should surely earn me the employee of the month award. The sounds, and the music in particular, were most excellent, and the graphics as well.
5 Stars in Humor for the Creator screen xD I really liked the idea, but missed some music and SFX :( I also was a bit disappointed that it was already over after Level 2 (this is a good sign probably). The tutorial was very good and helpful!
Awesome game! I really liked how the levels invented and combined new mechanics up to the actually very tricky last level. Extra points for doing such cool stuff with your son!
I loved the dark cyberpunk-y sea setting. I didn't understand what the drones are for at first, but after rereading the intro text I had much fun. A bit too intense for my left mouse button maybe ;)
Very good foundation to build upon. With proper music and sounds I could imagine to play this for a long time.

Very cool idea. There are some combinations where you can't get through though. I also thought about whether it would be nice to fill the remaining time up by beating enemy pieces? I would definitely play a more polished version of this on mobile.

I loved to try around and figure out what these different symbols do. The atmosphere was beautiful and mysterious. Thank you for this wonderful entry :)

I can not think of another game that let's you climb up and down layers in depth like that - yet it's simple and intuitive. Good job!

I'm addicted.

Very interesting game. It was a bit hard to identify certain items as interactable, but the moment it 'clicked' for me I thought it was awesome :D

I really enjoyed the visuals and sound design. The idea of a platformer was simple but you gave it a nice twist with the girl you have to carry.

Wow! Everything with this was great. Only level design kept getting less interesting later in the game. I really liked how the grabbing mechanic could be used in various ways (especially at the end ^^).

Great atmosphere and sound design. It's just impossible for me to dodge these rocks D:

Turning that crank is just so much fun. Spent more time than initially planned to reach that 2000 mark. In the end my own greed killed me as I always tried to get that bucket down again while enemies were already approaching ^^
