Great artstyle, amazing puzzles. This is one of my favorite games of the jam, and one of the few that I stuck with playing for a long time. I managed to get to puzzle 12 but I'm stuck on it, I'll come back to it and try to finish it later. Seriously, well done, this was a joy to play!
Great visuals, the running around the screen mechanic is interesting to get used to, but everything feels nice and tactile. Great audio as well. Excellent atmosphere. Great job!
Great visuals, the controls are a bit difficult to get used to but not bad once you get the hang of it. Very well polished for a jam game and well thought out. Great entry!
I catch bear. Very fun game, I love the artstyle, the music adds a nice touch, and I do love catch bear.
This is amazing. I can't believe how long it got me to play for. Well done!
Great rage platformer! Controls feel tight and I love the art. The audio is good. With some variation in levels and gameplay this could make an excellent little platformer. Well done!
A little buggy and a bit rough around the edges, but the concept is there and I love the art! One small bit of polish that would go a long way is making the walls transparent when you get close to them so you can see what is happening inside. Solid entry!
I love the art! I would have enjoyed a bit more variation in equipment, but this was still a fun entry. Great job!
How did I get into this situation? Why am I stealing a baby? I have no idea, but I am completely down for it. This is a hilarious entry with some simple gameplay that is surprisingly fun and challenging. Great work!
The thing I feel like I was missing the most was some feedback in the combat, whether visual or audio. Either than that this had an excellent intro with a fleshed out backstory that got me invested, and some good hacknslash fun. Excellent entry!
Wow, very nice game. Creative take on the theme and a very nice little story. I was originally going to suggest the addition of music, but I feel like the silence perfectly fits the atmosphere of the game. Excellent entry.
Excellent game with polished gameplay and graphics. Great humor and audio to accompany it, truly a stellar entry. Amazing work!
Funniest game of the jam. Excellent work!
Excellent work! A very simple but polished mechanic that fits the theme and leads to some fun combat and gameplay. Unfortunately i managed to somehow rotate one of my fists through a wall and then got stuck on the 3rd or 4th level but what I played was really good. Solid entry!
Nice graphics and a fun concept. Unfortunately it started to lag after i couldn't find the keys on day 2 and I wasn't able to continue past that, but good job overall!
Frustrating and hilarious. If I had a gameplay the controls probably would have been better and that's my only complaint so great job!
Awesome creative take on the theme! The wack-a-mole gameplay is super fun and when you get the hang of the timing its super satisfying. I love the simplicity of the visuals and the dialogue and setup. Hilarious and fun game, great job!
Interesting game, the graphics are gorgeous and it does fit the theme, but I feel like I might be missing how the loop ties into the gameplay in a way that isn't purely visual. Either way good entry!
One of my favorite games of the jam, I love this combat mechanic. Please flesh this out into a full game! Seriously this is so much fun.
Fun game, the only thing I would change is the movement speed, feels a little bit slow. Other than that super fun, not quite sure how it fits the theme but I might be missing something. Solid entry overall!
Love the graphics! Tight movement and fun shooting, and a really solid use of the theme. Excellent work!
Short but sweet. I seriously wish there were more levels, this is a ton of fun! The movement feels very good even with the occasional bug and the pace of the "loop cleaner" and your character speed is balanced perfectly. Excellent entry!
Wow, this entry was awesome. Apart from the controls being a little bit hard to get used to everything else was superb. The only thing it was truly missing was audio which just would have elevated the experience more. I love the three dreams being those 3 well known nightmares, and the graphics and animations are excellent. Amazing job!
Very fun! When you get used to using the gravity to slingshot yourself into objects turning around at the last minute the satisfaction is on point. I love the music and sound design too, great work!
Loved this entry! I'm a huge fan of retro shooters. I think a sensitivity slider and some backgrounds that contrast more with the enemies would be helpful, but still a really really good entry overall, excellent work!
Great game, couldn't quite figure out how to get past level 2. I'm gonna make a note of this game and go back to finish it after I get to some other people's games. Awesome artwork and nice audio. The mechanic fits the theme well and is fun, great entry!
Excellent entry! Simple and fun, with great fitting music to accompany it. Very satisfying to slot yourself in between cars in the next circle at the perfect speed multiple times in a row.
Great game! Good art, writing and the audio was simplistic but fitting and pleasant. I love the groundhog day turned quest for milk storyline! Good humor and fits the theme well, all around solid game!
A little rough around the edges but I like the concept! Took me a bit to figure out how to do the first puzzle. Overall solid concept, just needs some bug fixing and polishing. Good job!
Game page doesn't seem to be up, if you do get it up comment on my game post and I'll check it out!
Excellent game! Fits the theme in many different ways, the visuals are fun and appealing, and the gameplay loop is hectic and fun. Awesome work!
The main issue is the camera controls, they are the opposite of most standard 3rd person games. Other than that solid entry!
Fun? Debatable. Entertaining? Absolutely! The music adds a nice touch to the monotonous frustration and the atmosphere of the whole thing is very enjoyable.
The mouse controls are a bit unusual but aside from that I love the concept and the retro art and sounds! Solid entry!
It is, in fact, a video game. Lol, all jokes aside, not a bad concept but needs some more work to be playable. Also I noticed you didn't put a ground check in for jumping so you can just fly, but that makes it more fun so maybe if you ever flesh out this game try to implement that as a mechanic!

My favorite game from the jam so far. Excellent graphics, excellent audio, the controls could use some tweaking but I couldn't care less when the game is so well made and polished and I legitimately kept wanting to play more. The ending cutscene is great, the dialogue is great and everything about it is great. Amazing work!
Space Sail Away by carpaccino 2021-05-01T17:30:11Z ♥ 1
Really fun concept. This could make an awesome post-jam space exploration game. The controls are a little finnicky, sometimes space didn't work to jump for me. Other than that the visuals do the job, and the music is moody and fits the theme of the game. Great entry!
Digmon by ErkaNec 2021-05-01T17:23:16Z ♥ 1
Difficult but fun game with tight controls. The audio is nice, the graphics are super cute and the game just feels fun to play. Swinging downwards when you attack really incentivizes you to use the vertically looping levels to your advantage and fight while falling. Great entry!
The Fool's Descent by NicMagnier 2021-05-01T17:13:15Z ♥ 1
Very fun game! One of the few game this long ive ended up fully completing so far for this jam. I feel like some music, even just a super simple chiptune would have really added to the game, but other than that this was a really fun little jam game and it feels like it could definitely be expanded to a full game. I loved the boss "fight" as well. Great entry!
Air-O-Space by zoarfy 2021-05-01T16:56:05Z ♥ 2
Very fun game, I've played a few of these frantic system management games this jam and they are some of the most fun even if the most stressful. The graphics are super clean and visually appealing, the colors pop and the creature designs are cute. The audio is nice and the controls while infuriatingly far apart do a great job of keeping you on your toes. Excellent entry!
Yet Another Shmup by AssertFailure 2021-05-01T16:48:35Z ♥ 1
Fun and simple, the controls are pretty good but I feel like the ship could be just a bit faster, other than that the graphics are nice and clean, audio is good and the game feels good to play. I will say I feel like a post-jam addition could be some repercussions for letting ships pass, as right now you can just dodge bullets and not kill a single enemy and just keep going. Overall though good entry!
Depthplosion by HPA97 2021-04-29T02:24:08Z ♥ 1
I really like the audio design, and the graphics are nice and add to the mood really well. I found myself wishing the bombs would drop faster so the game would turn into more of a fast-paced almost bullethell-like experience. Controls were a bit floaty, but other than that excellent entry!
Boring in the deep by WilhelmStein 2021-04-29T02:20:13Z ♥ 2
Short and sweet, funny, good art and nice music. Addition of the slow mo is a really nice quality of life feature, great work!

The energy of this game is something I haven't seen anywhere else. It makes me happy, and I'm not sure if thats a good thing or a bad thing. 11/10
Dwarf Dig Deep by Lintfordpickle 2021-04-29T02:06:35Z ♥ 1
Great art, the gameplay is quite difficult but leads to some fun moments. The controls are a little unusual but not terribly hard to get used to. I liked the addition of the difficulty options and a whole menu and help system, unfortunately the return to menu button didnt work for me but I can't knock you for one broken button. Excellent work for a 48 hour game, great job!
Project Drillco by Iron Leonem 2021-04-29T01:53:12Z ♥ 1
Awesome game. I love these kind of frantic management games, and this one was executed really well! Loved the art and the music was really good, super fun entry. Awesome work!
Downslide by pabulum 2021-04-28T21:29:09Z ♥ 2
Super fun game, the controls feel great, the combat is fun and the movement mechanic works super well and feels awesome when you get the hang of it. The graphic style is simple but works super well for this game, and my only complaint is the difficulty stays pretty consistent even if you go pretty far down. But all around excellent game!
Hellscape by ToxicComputer 2021-04-28T21:21:20Z ♥ 1
Fun game! The controls are snappy, the weapon feels great. The graphics do their job, the audio is nice if a bit loud (my games always have the same issue so i can't complain there ), my only small complaint is i wish there was a bit of visual feedback when the player gets hit. Otherwise great entry!

Short and sweet, funny game with pretty good art and nice audio. The credits are hilarious, great job!
I'm So Deep by liammasters 2021-04-27T02:01:26Z ♥ 1
Hilarious game, executed well for a jam. I love the whole style of the art and music. Great job!
