I've just played your game and and it was a pleasant experience! Although I don't really understand how it links to the theme, I've found the gameplay quite interesting. The levels were challenging but not too hard, thanks to their names. The ambient atmosphere (graphics + sounds) really brought me back to an old 3D Rayman game I was playing when I was a child, thank you for that!
This game was clearly difficult without much place for failure! I enjoyed how you answered the theme, collecting coins does impact our ability to move around. Fortunately, I was able to go back to already used checkpoints or it would have be too difficult to collect the six coins. Art and sounds were rudimentary but effective :)
I was able to protect all the castles !

Although the game is clearly in its beginnings, there are a lot of positive things about it :) I liked the idea of protecting castles from viruses by building things on the map. I find it awesome to be a rat somehow haha. Maybe the explanation on the left is a bit to cumbersome ? I just managed to succeed through trial and error ^^"
I tried to contain the cities but gave up around turn 600, gave them 400 turns to flourish and released all the power in a single bomb in year 999.

It was nice overall although it lacks an end point. Graphics were pretty much okay. If possible, please use 2-3 different explosion sounds next time so that it doesn't get annoying! Good job making this game :)
Nice graphics, good job ! The game is a bit hard to handle and the attack is somehow slow but the fact that enemies don't retaliate quickly compensates for this.
I spent a very long time without any water in my deck :o thanks for these few minutes of play :)
Nice submission. I liked the rotating controls although please consider supporting arrows as well as wasd next time for non qwerty keyboards :)
Thanks for the comment @tommislav, I've udpated the description. Hopefully the next jammers will have an easier time :)
@shugor Thanks for your comment ! I originally planned to make more difficult levels, then I unsurprisingly run out of time 😅
@reheated you nailed pretty much everything I envisioned for this game in your Fun paragraph haha thanks for the kind words :smile:

I love that we can share our run with an image ! Congrats on your entry !
I love your take on the theme ! I didn't get why falling behind my victims would also make them turn around.
The dash room was my limit ! Tried several times but couldn't manage.
Those damn customers are quick to give up all their money. Nice little take on the theme, congrats.
I've spent a delightful time testing your game ! Congratulations it's awesome :D
Interesting concept you got there. One thing, I spent so long looking for the CTRL key not understanding what to do.
It was made with good taste, thank you for these few minutes !
Good job !
10/10 would surround myself with my offspring again, unable to move anymore. I played the game to the end and had a good time, thanks for that!
A bit hard to really know why I lost several times, but had fun trying to decipher this game. I was pleasantly surprised by the drastic contrast between colony sim and top down shooter.
Good job on your game! The button for the next level didn't work but thankfully I was able to load them from the main menu. I think the game works well although I would probably make the levels shorter. It was a bit repetitive to get to the end of a level. It was enjoyable nonetheless :)
I loved the mood and fantasy of this game. Too bad it was lagging so bad near the end. I think the game would benefit a lot from having faster animations and controls on the player side. Good job overall!
Nice game! Managed to survive for 5 minutes. The snakes felt way stronger than the other two options. Good job overall
It was such a mystical and beautiful experience. I don't know if I got the correct ending but I'm happy with the one I got. Great job!
Jump scare simulator: garden gnome edition! It was fun given how simple it was, good job.
That tool a while. Good take on the theme! It feels like Halloween already :tongue: Screenshot 2025-10-07 214512.png
I saved the city, woohoo! A simple idea well executed, well done :slight_smile: Screenshot 2025-10-07 220403.png
