Very cool game, that would make for a great hypercasual mobile game. Music is nice and fitting. I did have a tendancy to spam the spacebar to stay at a "safe" spot sometimes though. Maybe it would be cool to add powerups or stuff to collect to incentivize the player to move around the loop. Great job ! :thumbsup:
Brilliant concept and nice fit for this theme !
Great puzzle game with nice minimalist graphics and music ! Nice difficulty curve as well and progression through the levels and new mechanisms. Sometimes though I didn't quite understand at first how they worked, took me a few trial and error runs to figure them out. All in all, a great entry ! Good job :thumbsup:
Very cool turn on the match-3 mechanics. Great balance of difficulty and game duration as well. The graphics are pretty nice and clean, love the sea effect. I liked the music and sound design a bit less, the accordion was a bit too much at the end :p great job anyways !
Such a clever concept and so well executed, loved it ! Amazing idea. Very nice attention to details, UI, transitions, everything fits so well together to deliver an amazingly smooth experience. One of the best entries so far in my opinion. Respect, great job ! By the way the link to your Patreon links to Patreon.com, not your actual page.
Simple relaxing minesweeper game, but it has more depth to it than I thought. Good job
Awesome idea to have your narration/little story through the words you type. Very clean execution and amazing effect when the ball bounces. Along with Estrella, my favorite typing game for this jam. Well done.
Nice job, reminds of those old school PC games I used to play on my first computer :laughing: it would have been good to be able to just keep pressing space to shoot instead of having to spam it ! good entry, thanks
Simple concept with clean execution, loved it ! Music and art were quite pleasing with a touch of nostalgia to them, great work !
Wow this in an AWESOME entry ! I love it, the gameplay just feels so crisp and sharp, there's no randomness or bugs in the way you move, you are just in control all the time, that feels so good and so polished for a compo game ! The difficulty curve was already pretty well managed and the art was simple yet efficient, no problem telling the player and the enemies apart. And no slowdown or performance issue whatsoever. Feels good, awesome job
Haha love this approach on the theme, very nice idea :laughing: the game is simple but plays well, great job !
Nice little concept which you make for a great hypercasual mobile game, as others have mentioned. I did run into the same issues, with some colors being black and the pointer not being visible anymore, and at one time I launched the game but nothing happened when pressing space. I also think it could be great if you added visual feedback like light effects when hitting the correct spot and sound effects. Other than that, nice entry, clean execution, great job :thumbsup:
Very simple fun game ! Couldnt get past 40 secondes...
Cool concept, that would make for a cool casual mobile game ! I like the minimalist graphics and sounds !
Awesome use of code as a gameplay mechanics, super innovative, I've never seen that before. And that's quite a lot of creative errors you invented :laughing: the game is clean and beautiful, crisp visual design and music. I do wish we could scroll with the mouse wheel instead of using the scrollbar, I don't know if that's supposed to work or it's just on my side. All in all a great entry, good work !
Very short but fun experience! Really well executed!
Is the title a reference to Earthworm Jim ? Damn I'm gonna have nightmares about that ear chasing me... So wacky and fun, love it, great job !
Wow nice, the idea of playing with the sunset and the horizon is simple yet pretty effective ! That looks beautiful, and the waves sounds compliment the graphics pretty well. Overall it's a nice relaxing game, and the pinball controls are well executed. GREAT JOB ! :thumbsup:
Nice entry ! I love the minimalist art style and the attention to detail, like the footprints in the snow. Good replayability as well. Good job :thumbsup:
Beautiful work, the visuals are stunning. The music and SFX fit quite nicely. However, I had trouble reading the font sometimes and had a few issues with the usability ; just typing the answer to 15+2-1 for exemple was tedious and made me fail multiple times. After which I only wanted to try again but had to go through a few unskippable lines of text... Nice entry still, good job !
Wow, incredible to have a game meant to run on NES, pretty unexpected development idea. Great take on the theme and good sokoban gameplay. Great job !
Very intense gameplay and experience, wow ! The storyline is sad but the atmosphere is great. An exceptional submission !
Haha great soundtrack :laughing:
Good storytelling and I loved the breaking-news type UI. The more you advance in the game, the better the gameplay feels, I found it a bit slow at the start ! And I was very sad I couldn't replay the game from the game over menu... or did I not find it ? Great submission anyways, thanks :thumbsup:
Very simple but effective concept. The pixel art is nice ! Unluckily no sound design and I had trouble understanding what the bed, fridge and water dispenser were for at first. Thanks for the game :thumbsup:
Beautiful experience and nice ideas, I would love to write code just like that :laughing: but no matter what I did, I couldn't fill up the happiness gauge, is that a bug ? Or am I dumb ? No one else seems to have had this problem here... Still, very polished and relaxing overall ! Great job
@drjedd @lucasprince @kizu @henriforshort thanks so much for playing and rating my game, thats the first time someone actually plays one of my games live ! you rock dudes :thumbsup: by the way the happiness gauge is now working properly on your game, good job for fixing it. There were so many funny little details, like the "I was too lazy to draw that" and the sticky notes. Oh and is that someone eating chips in the audio background ? Short but brilliant game
Haha very funny stuff, very creative around the crab theme... So many things to try. Good entry
Nice take on the theme, you guys are so creative :laughing: good pixel art too, great entry
Neat game ! Music is a bit ear piercing though ! Great difficulty curve and nice pixel art, but a bit of performance issues on my pc. GOod work overall !
Very funny game and nice visual art style. The minigames were a little bit unbalanced in that sometimes I didn't even understand what I did wrong, like the Clean your room one at 16, which was quite frustrating. Great submission, great job :thumbsup:
Interesting concept, it did make me feel bad for winning haha :thumbsup: or did I lose ? I don't know anymore... Pretty funny clicker anyway, good stuff :)
Awesome innovative idea and very clean execution. Superb experience. Love it, great job !
Awesome game with a pretty stressful challenge ! The music is really cool, although I think the building-time SFX was a bit hard on the ears. As others have mentioned, maybe the game would benefit from getting rid of the placeholders system altogether, but other than that it's a GREAT entry, clean execution, great job !!!
Pretty cool game, simple and intuitive and clean execution. The music is VERY cool :thumbsup:
The artstyle is quite interesting and a bit dark, it has a kind of eerie feel. Overall everything fits pretty well together to deliver a compelling story and a nice experience. Good submission, great job
Excellent game, with a smart concept and well executed. I thought the player was a little bit too quick on his feet though, was not so easy when the landing area was just one tile wide :laughing: and apart from that, I did suffer from framerate issues which made it even harder to platform. The SFX and music are quite fitting. All in all, awesome submission, great job !
Hahahaha the idea is so funny and the gameplay is even more random and hilarious... Pretty clean execution though, even though I couldnt get very far ! Reminds me of the ridiculousness of QWOP... Great job
The art and the animation are SUPER well done. The sound design is on point, although I wish there were music as well. As others have mentioned, the doors are not super obvious and it took me quite some time to figure out that you could go in the rooms on the left and the right, and the game is over waaaaay too quickly. Still, great job !! :thumbsup:
Very cute ! I loved the music, took me back to an amusement park or something, pretty unique for this kind of game, but it fits well together ! The glass effect on the middle part on the ship is wonderful. I did have trouble understanding what to do at first but kinda figured it out after a while. Beautiful entry, great job !
Well done, nice eerie feeling to the game and great assets design. Nice take on the theme. I did have a sort of ghost mouse movement when my mouse wasn't moving which made it pretty challenging to aim properly. All in all, a nice entry, great job
Loved the art! I hadn't see at first that we could buy ingredients, but I had fun healing these poor villagers! :thumbsup: Would have loved some music though :)
A very beautiful game with great music ! It's a bit confusing at first, because you don't know exactly how the buildings are going to impact the gauges, and I didn't exactly understand how to optimize the buildings that come after the big ones. I would have liked to control the camera with the mouse. Also I kind of missed some sound feedback ! All in all it is a very nice entry with great potential. Reminds me of Islanders ! Great job :thumbsup:
Amazing game ! The art, animations and sound design were fantastic, and the gameplay was really well balanced, if not a bit hard to piece together at the first run ! Definitely one of my favourite entries so far, GREAT JOB !
Nice pixel art ! I don't know why the characters were stopping when I told them to go somewhere though, no wonder they all died :( ultimately I found it easier to just control one character and use the other ones as decoys :laughing: great submission, good job
This one is excellent ! Great puzzle game with interesting mechanics and good level design, good difficulty curve to keep it interesting all along, really well done. The art and animations are very polished too, there's visual and audio feedback for player interactions and everything. The music also fits it pretty well. Great pun title too ! I didn't really dislike anything, maybe it would be good to be able to remove a piece when it's already positioned, and I had trouble understanding when the enemy pieces would or would not take mine... Definitely one of the greatest entries I've played so far ! GREAT job !
Very nice animations and a very funny and cute turn on the theme :thumbsup: overall a simple and effective whackamole ! Great job !
Cool game ! But I had trouble to have it running properly, first because I had a smaller screen than 1920x1080 and the game doesn't scale properly, and second because with a European layout keyboard, you can't really use WASD keys easily (it's QSDZ for us)... Nice entry with great potential still ! Good job
Ohhhh nice, a 2D platformer breakout, now thats innovative :laughing: great game ! The concept is cool and the execution is clean ! I did get stuck or go through the floor for no obvious reason sometimes :thinking: thanks for the entry.
Haha that's really cool. Is it a game though ? :laughing: Reminds me of There is no game... Very good voice acting and very funny submission !
Really nice take on the theme ! Great job !
Wow, the hand drawn graphics are STUNNING ! Great job with that ! The story and the dialog lines are pretty funny and match the graphics very well. Hope you can include audio soon, your game has great potential ! :smirk_cat:
Very nice entry, quite ambitious for a game jam ! Love the art and the gameplay, even though the mouse look sensitivity was very high on my device. Great job
Excellent entry, this take on the theme is just so good xD very clean execution to boot, nice art style and crisp gameplay. Lovin' it ! I wish there were many more combos and sentences associated, because it's reallty funny. Great job
That's a rather innovative and unforgiving gameplay, very nice concept ! And super nice artstyle to boot, really cool style. The zombies do walk pretty fast though when you're moving, I wish I had more time to aim for the best bullet trajectory. Great entry, great job
Definitely a nice entry, pretty smooth and polished ! Although sometimes the kick didn't work, which was pretty frustrating since the game is hard enough already :laughing: great job still !
Very nice entry, nice character design and visuals ! So cute. I got stuck at the candle part though, couldn't bring it with me or do anything with it even though Maggy was telling me how a candle would be nice... Great job anyways !
Really interesting movement mechanic, I really wonder how you implemented that ! Cute overall design and clever and lighthearted take on the theme, loved it ! great work
Very clever take on the theme ! It goes craaazy really fast though, sometimes you don't know what to do to solve the minigames ! So many ways to die :laughing: very creative and clean execution, great job !
Wow, excellent and funny art style ! Nice tutorial too; very nice entry, great job :thumbsup:
Wow this one is hella cool ! The execution is VERY clean and the story is great and funny, nice addition. The dash mechanism is pretty weird to handle at first but after a while it comes naturally, so good job on the controls. I do wish there were no end to the game though, so we could play until a fan inevitably reaches the dude, instead of having the dude inevitably wake up and it's game over :) cool music, cool graphics... This is definitely one of the best entries I've played so far :thumbsup:
Cool little Arkanoid :) I do wish you could control the balls direction depending on where it lands on your bumper and that the power-ups effects were more explicit. Great job !
Very clean execution and very relaxing memory game ! Everything blends in perfectly for a nice experience overall, GREAT JOB !
Holy shit that music is FIRE! :laughing: so I had a lot of trouble understanding the game at first, especially when you can and cannot move a piece on the traps, because it kinda lacks a bit of visual feedback or transition between the moves. But once I got it it was pretty fun. Kinda reminded me of a Crossy Road kind of game somehow xD good entry !
Damn the sushi one was kinda hard ! Great compilation of mini games, all very polished and cleanly executed, and good overall pacing and difficulty curve. Loved the Wario Ware design, I did that myself for my entry ! Overall a great submission, great job ! :thumbsup:
Wow, huge team ! So each one of you picked a different enemy to include into the game, right ? I want to know who picked the rocket penguin, the evil toilet bowl and the hot dog :laughing: very simple concept, funny for a while. Good job !
Very cute little game and clean execution ! One of those orbs really was a challenge, the one on the east I believe... that also got me to ragequit, but the other ones were easier after that one. The dialogs were pretty funny too. Nice entry, good job !
Nice visuals with a mix of 2D and 3D, quite innovative and nice color palette. I thought it was brutal though, couldnt dodge anything on my first few tries. Great job !
Awesome submission ! I loved the art style and the sound design ! Overall it was maybe a bit easy and I would have liked to have a bit more diversity or obstacles in the typing, it took too long before it became a bit hard. And maybe use real words, that could have been funny as well. All in all, that was a great typing game, GREAT JOB !
Haha so funny and cute, very clever and light hearted take on the theme :D fun entry, good job !
Solid 2D platformer foundation and funny dialogs, also nice and unique color palette. Great entry ! Good job
Clean execution on a classic concept ! The graphics are very nice, crisp and effective and the music is FUUUNKY :sunglasses: the SFX do tend do become a bit annoying after a while though. The difficulty curve is very good and the progression through the levels is good. Maybe it would be nice to add more visual feedback for the player when moving a shape or clearing a bunch of pieces. Overall, it's a very clean entry. Great job ! :thumbsup:
Very nice game and super clever take on the theme, I liked that you pushed the detail to give the score in nanoseconds :thumbsup: and it's also surprisingly playable given the hectic pace and speed of the pixels ! great idea, good job !
Cool concept, but man the mouse sensitivity was ultra high when I first launched the game :laughing: so it was pretty hard to play ! Oh and the gaps were not clearly visible sometimes due to the fact that all the red death barriers were... well red ! Maybe changing colors would help see them clearer. Cool entry, I haven't seen many 1st person controllers so far, thanks !
Love this take on the theme. It's a nice little platformer ! :thumbsup: I'd like to have a little bit more speed when running left and right and maybe a little less on the dash. Oh and you can fall forever when you go straight on the left at the start :D pretty cool, good job
Very clever idea for the theme ! Good entry !
@gamedevalexandr @waysneighborgo2 @graphite @sciman101 @tim-sims @the3rdhunter @solah @kazuren @shawn-moore thanks a bunch for giving my game a try and for the constructive feedback ! I did fix the issue of the minigame not stopping after you've already won or lost it, and tweaked a few parameters for overall balance amongst minigames. Cheers !
@gord10ahmet @yamzho @byazzle @wavertron @zimennik @danashrulez @foxwater @kewdev @jimmothysanchez @thomas-higgins @m11 @fromage @ghatazorg @spice-cabinet @smash-city @mlho7 @dan-smith @homineludens @bucketh3ad @nebiros @kristinamay @evilsock @jackaljk @rex64 @mopifish @davision @okamit @furano @jean-francois @ditam @n1k-o @allax @tannimun @mechanicallife @landberglife @emmatw @mook @simba @otterfaelure @phillip-scott @sagiii @kylazaur @ruthiepee @jzucc12 @ladymistleaf thank you so much to each and every one of you for giving my game a try and taking time to leave feedback. Greatly, greatly appreciated :thumbsup:
Awesome idea! The story was original and I could tell that a lot of care has been put into the audio. It was fun to navigate each time through an improved level; I had a hard time with the commands for the cat though.
Very unique concept, but soooo hard... I mean not really that hard, but it takes quite a while to reach the difficult parts of the level, and if you fail then, well... I didn't have the courage to start over :laughing: please add checkpoints, there seem to be interesting obstacles ahead. The controls are weird at the start when the boulder hasn't fallen on your head yet, but then it makes sense, although it's still kinda weird for me. All in all it's a great innovative entry, I'd like to see the concept polished and pushed beyond this jam !
Very innovative mechanism with the shadow delay and interesting take on the theme. Graphics and music are good ! But I had a reaaally hard time controlling the player, especially when I wanted to climb on top of my shadow and kept slipping... Great entry still, good job !
Very cute game, I like the Warioware idea and the minigames are actually quite fitting for this kind of gameplay :thumbsup: it's pretty funny and the art style is good. You had a great attention to details too when winning/losing a minigame. I tried to replay but I think the game got stuck at the inter screen though. Cool entry :v:
Super cool game, very polished and very clean in the execution ! The pixel art and the particles effects are also top notch. The only downside for me would be that when the player does not stay at the center of the screen, sometimes aiming around it with the mouse can feel a little inaccurate. But that's minor, all in all it was a super nice entry. GREAT JOB !
Cute game with simple mechanics, although I didn't quite understand how the different objects impacted the dog :( good job
Haha awesome title for that game, and it was a pretty beautiful experience overall, reminds of FAR. Very interesting, great job

That's good right ? :laughing: pretty fun color palette and fun smash space game, reminds me of the home run minigame in Smash Bros as someone mentioned or that game where you knocked a penguin with a base ball bat as far as possible. Very fun ! Great job
Beautiful game, nice color palette ! I don't know why but the set up and the story were really depressing for me though, just try to enjoy life before you die, without goals or anything :laughing: great entry, good work !
Beautiful, cute and colored little game ! Love the pico 8 aesthetics. As others have mentioned, I didn't really understand how to bounce off some balloons. Great submission, good job
Pretty cool take on the theme ! It gets really hectic after a while, especially given I can't put the tools back in their spot and they end up being just a mess of tools and trying to find the right one becomes impossible :laughing: cool concept, clean execution, great job !
Well done ! The art style and music are VERY cool :thumbsup: all in all it was pretty simple but charming endless runner. GREAT JOB !
Couldn't play the game, UnityPlayer.dll is not found. You need to include the full repository which Unity generates, with UnityPlayer, MonoBleedingEdge and the crash handler. Cheers
Very clean execution and pretty nice level design, I think it showed great balance between risk and reward. The visual design is simple but does the job, as does the music, overall a very nice entry. I actually didn't find it too difficult and I thought the speed increase could have been just a tad quicker. To make the controls better I think @kaya-games 's feedback is absolutely on point.
2022-04-13 10_33_47-Magma Climb by Aldebaram.png
Great job !
This in an amazing puzzler, with a very interesting twist and well thought-out level design. Loved the little nods to Stanley's parable and such. The movement was sometimes a little hard to follow, perhaps a few animations could help with easing the player follow the rabbit from one strip to another.
Overall an extremely interesting mechanics which I would really love to see developed into more levels with a more fleshed out visual and sound design. Great work !
That was a weird experience, I kinda got dizzy from the puppet jumping up and down and ended up pressing two keys to flail my arms around to scare birds. The concept is cool and the visuals were on point though. Good job
Wow, this is a stunning entry ! The visuals are great and the animations are on point. The game loop is very interesting, you are only compelled to play over and over again thanks to your own curiosity and will to experiment, which is great. No pressure, very relaxing concept, i love it ! It also perfectly fits the theme.
There's just one thing I didn't like, and that is the fact that if you want to cancel a tile, you have to click on the red cross above. You can't just click on another tile ; in this case, the UI is blocking. That's a pity. And maybe make a smoother animations, with an easing curve, to move the camera when you click on a tile.
This is an absolutely GREAT entry, I'll surely keep it and try again later to get all 31 tiles. Awesome work !
Great game with a very interesting idea. The execution is great, visuals and sound design are top notch. I must admit I got stuck at level 3, and felt stupid after watching the playthrough, but the effort of having recorded a playthrough is invaluable :laughing:
Overall a great entry, great job !
The character movement feels pretty good, it has a lot of bounce to it and is very responsive ! Although it gets VERY difficult VERY quickly, maybe slower bullets and plants weighing you down would help the player get into it.
Other than that the visuals are great and the story telling is well done !
Great job !
Super fun game, very chill and the controls are sooo smooth, it's a treat to play. I love the level design as well, with the hidden stuff that you can pick up left and right. Overall a very nice entry, well done !
Excellent game ! The visual design is minimalistic but looks very nice and very readable. The music and sounds fit really well. I loved the gameplay, and the fact that your circle has a bit of "weight" or inertia to it, it feels so much better with it. Admittedly I got stuck pretty quickly between circles but the experience was pretty enjoyable.
Very cool entry, great job
Sorry for your loss, this is a great tribute for your grandma. Great visuals and calming music, it fits the theme pretty well.
I didn't go to the end as narrative games are not my cup of tea. I had some issues with some characters though :
issue.png
Overall a nice submission !
Awesome entry ! The gameplay is really punchy, everything you do and interact with have some feedback and it gives a nice powerful feeling to the player ! I thought it was fairly easy but the difficulty is nice and progressive. Beautiful visuals and sound design to boot.
Overall an amazing game, great work !
Nice concept and cute artwork, and a pretty interesting take on the theme. The levels are interesting and the difficulty curve is perfect. On the downside, I kinda felt like the movement was a bit slow and jerky, and I would have liked to see a "cancel move" key.
Overall a very nice entry, great job !
Looking forward to play this one, because the theme's interpretation sounds great :laughing:
Neat game, loved the pixel art and the overall feel of the game, though pretty hard to get the coordination right !
Un putain de bordel :rofl:
Loved the simple concept and all those different good deeds and misdeeds were a blast to read. The background club was pretty well done and the music was on point. It was a bit difficult to parse the "amount" for a single line though (ie "x16") for example, perhaps it would have been better without them. The sound at the end of the 60 seconds was really hard on the ears.
Overall a fun experience, mainly coming from the ideas you had for sins and virtues. Great work
Awesome work ! The game gets pretty hard quite quickly but it is so much fun, the controls are very responsive and the animations and overall settings add a lot of charm. The file is very heavy to download, perhaps that could be troublesome for some people.
The music and sound design fit very well together and give a nice groovy vibe :sunglasses:
Really cool and fun game, great job !!
Awesome game ! First off I'll say that the music is FIRE, really loved it. The sound design fits pretty well with it. The pixel art is really solid too. It's a lot of fun to discover everything that you can do and the asteroids to explore. The food names were pretty cool as well :)
On the downside, it is a little long to wait 30s+ for each action after a while. And I wish you could navigate between the 3 rooms with left and right arrows.
Overall, a VERY solid entry. Great game, great job !
