Great entry! I love the art and music a lot and the concept of having a timer instead of a traditional health bar to fit in with the theme is actually a very unique take imo. I think respawning feels a bit too sudden though, maybe playing a destroy animation and then respawning after will be nice. Sometimes the modules on the enemy are also somewhat offscreen which doesn't look too nice. Otherwise amazing job!
It's damn difficult, but it's still a fun game. Nice take on the theme, it feels like a single player spleef minigame, nice entry!
You absolutely nailed the gravity of the situation. The text to speech really contributes to the creepy feel and the graphics are nice. It's a small thing but the erraticness of the time between text messages at the start makes it feel more realistic. However, I did encounter a bug that rendered all the important info invisible, I think it happened when I pressed fire again after I already hit the asteroid, after that the screen was constantly displaying the static and covered all the information such as money, time left and even the bar for the evac shuttle. Other than that one crucial bug, I think this is actually one of my favourite games this jam!
DUDE THE MUSIC IS AMAZING, I was doing great unitl I cornered myself;-;. Great entry!!!
Interesting idea! I think this is a pretty unique take on the theme, being able to delay different elements of the game by different amount is really smart and provides a good amount of strategy, I also like the simple music. Good entry!
I think this is a pretty good intepretation of the theme because you're eventually gonna lose no matter how good you are. On the flip side, the movement speed feels too slow and the jump is too floaty so the controls feel kinda mushy. Changing the gravity and speed will defininitely make things more crispy, good job :D Edit: One more thing, this is something that many people don't realise unless it's not there, but there must be a decently lenient buffer where you will still jump if you pressed jump a bit too early or if you pressed jump right after walking off a platform. Do add these buffers in any future platformers and they'll feel much better, trust me :)
I have been guilt tripped and called insane by a cartoon star. Although I clicked than the developer(I think :p) Loved the simple art and music, good job!
My god that's one way to intepret the theme. On a serious note I like it! It gives off this qwop vibe except, well, you *fly*. Also really liked the music! Took me a bit to get ahold of the controls but it's fun!
Simple but I like it! I definitely agree with dninosores, some ambience would really help out. Some audio feedback when clicking on the balloon will also be nice, eg a balloo bouncing sound whenever you click on it. Otherwise good job!
Well done! I really like the take on the concept, although I think that first screen you get is kind of daunting because there's so much to remember, but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty fun! If only I had this many trophies ;-;
Nice take on the theme! I really like how it takes some time to turn harsh angles as it gives a good feeling of weight. The sound effect for picking up points is also pretty satisfying, good job!
I love it! It's extremely polished, the sprites look amazing and the music is great! I think this can definitely be expanded upon and made into a full fledged commercial platformer. Great job!
Great entry! The music was good and the art was fantastic! However, I got stuck quite a few times and all I could do was shoot stuff. The clock spawning I feel could have some logic behind them instead of spawning completely randomly. Otherwise fantastic work!
I like the concept a lot! I feel that some random generation as well as reducing the time granted by the buttons would greatly increase replayability and the sense of urgency, otherwise good job!
I love tetris, and this take on the game is great! Music is fun and so is the gameplay, this might be my new timekiller game at school :D
Nice! The sprites look great and the feedback when you hit the ball is satisfying, good job!
Nice! I like the simple graphics you got goin on, one thing I would change is the turn speed as it feels too slow right now which makes movement feel kinda mushy. Otherwise good job! (Not sure whether it was intentional but you misspelt lose lmao)
I loved it! I really like the mix between hand drawn 2d and a 3d environment, although I think a difficulty option would've been nice. Great job!
Nice voice acting. I think the origin for your projectiles might have been placed too far below the camera because the projectiles get destroyed instantly if you shoot while slightly looking down. Otherwise good job :)
Not sure why but Mouse1 didn't let me attack. However, I really like the simple artstyle you got goin on, on thing I would suggest is to make the moss slightly less detailed to fit in with everything else, some ambience or music would be nice too. Otherwise good job!
@draconic-rabbit ah yeah, it works fine! Didn't hear the clicks before cuz I had music on, I think some visual feedback will be a great addition :)
Simple but it looks polished and I like the simple music :D Love the chill vibe of it and your art style is great!
I like the simple concept, however the game is kinda janky. After a while I just couldnt move anymore no matter how much I was clicking, the collisions also aren't too consistent as I had a red asteroid go straight through me and nothing happened. Some sound effects would be nice though (even tho its in space)
I really like this wario ware style you got goin on! I think it would be nice if there was some fast paced music in the background to go with the minigames, some visual feedback for the first game would be great as well, eg you can have death be programmed to have different phases and in each of those phases he can have a different sprite along with causing some screen shake. Otherwise love the concept, great job!
@masterofcheese Woops, I was talkin about the arm wrestling minigame, right now the only feedback you get is the player character getting a seizure so some feedback from the reaper will be great! Don't worry too much about the polish, I think you did great in 48 hours!
How do I say this, the art is AMAZING. Great job! The game is simple and intuitive. I think some music would be nice but otherwise well done!
I like it! The game's really chill which is complimented by the music. I also really like the balancing act that you got going on. Also, it's such a small thing but starting the game by clicking on the watering can instead of a regular looking start button just feels nice. Great job!
@bucketh3ad heh you're totally right with the whole tab pausing thing, I just couldn't figure out what other ket to put it on because Escape minimizes the game;-;. Thanks a lot for playing!
@lucas-guimaraes haha yea, I didn't have time to make a proper tutorial because I had irl stuff to do, thanks for your feedback!
@mgear Ah yeah that was a mistake on my part, I messed up my ui so all the text gets slightly misplaced if you're not in fullscreen 1920x1080, thanks for your comment!
@badcop Thanks a lot for playing! Yeah the tutorial text was more of a last minute replacement for a tutorial which I didn't have time to make to to irl stuff I had to do.
@taffaz Firstly, thanks for playing! Yeah I completely understand, I'll just leave this here in case anybody else is confused about what to do.
Here is the general strategy: Subtract from either your sales or business expense until your taxable income turns green, after that add the values you subtracted back into the personal expenses value. Type the taxable income into the income section of the green tax slip and the total of donations+personal expense into the writeoff section. The property tax slip just needs you to write down what's on the computer screen.
I meant for this to imitate how frustrating it is to do taxes in real life, guess I was a bit too accurate :p
@taffaz Glad to hear!
@dan-livings All valid comments, there are definitely some things that I couldn't manage to implement because of time. Thanks a lot for playing!
@papaya Thanks for playing! Yeah I was tryin to use what I remember from principles of accounts except I'm watering it down by a looooooooot. Anyways, here's the general strat, maybe it might help you have a better time :)

Try following this while in the tutorial because you will have unlimited time!
@bangthewall Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I definitely didn't do well in terms of getting info across to the player, there was supposed to be an interactive tutorial but time wasnt on my side.
@draconic-rabbit Will do, thanks for the feedback!
@cerno-b Thanks for playing and thank you so much for the informative comment!
