I would punch that guy in the back of the head.
Funny little game, all my thoughts have pretty much already been said in the first few comments. Doesn't stick to the theme all that well though, we are "running out of space" in a very vague way (My game is the same in this regard though)
Tidy little game with decent use of the theme, the wall jumping was a bit clunky and hard to use though. I think this game would be a lot more fun if you could climb up by jumping on all the blocks while they are falling but you end up just waiting for all the blocks to land instead
Good game and great use of theme. The mechanic of pressing backspace to get a cat back when you lose it was a waste of time though because when we are losing cats it's probably because the platforms are all broke, this should have been set to restart the level instead as there is no way that I saw to restart a level other than restarting the whole game and playing it all again.
@max6333 ahh I didnt know you could do it more than once, that's cool
Simple and Tidy, good little game
Either I don't understand how this works or there is a bug with income, I can never seem to gain money even if all of my buildings are green or yellow, I just lose money every month and I didn't do the math but it feels like im losing much more money per month than just my builder costs even if I don't build anything
Good and simple, only issues I had was that if you look down while carrying a box you kind of glitch on top of it and I didn't know what kind of natural disaster was meant to come so I was kind of tricked into assuming I was meant to fill up the shelves nicely when in reality the win condition was to store as much on top of the shelves as possible
I feel like I should give you a 1 star for everything because you didn't voice record "SUPER..THICC" and loop it every time we died.
I'll let you off this one time
Really cool idea and great artwork. Due to the nature of the pixel art it is really hard to tell where in the 3D space the pickups and enemies are which is quite frustrating, maybe this could be improved by adding some kind of lanes to give us a better idea on where on the rainbow road everything actually is?
Also some sound would have been great, really missing out there
It looks nice by jam standards. Game is a little bit easy but the core is good. Very cute.
Would have been nice to get a little more feedback from the sharks, it was hard to tell what side they were biting from and they just kind of disappear when you hit them. The feedback from hitting an iceberg was good though.
Got really hard about 50 seconds in but excellent use of the theme. Could have done with some sound effects
That was different lol, looked good and nice use of theme
Interesting use of theme, I like the character design but like other people have said, very poor choice of camera placement. Could definitely be polished into something decent
I don't really get it tbh, the idea is good but it could have been executed much better, given us some platforming to do and a win condition or something would have made it way better. Really big download size for little content too
Tidy little game, shame there isn't much of a winning condition though
The sound could have done with better balancing, some are too loud compared to the bgm but not a huge deal. Fun idea for the theme and love the whole pizza domination thing going on
Good proof of concept and well used theme. It was a little easy but that's fine
@zozol Yeah I didn't have time to clean up the UI before it came time to submit but at least no matter how much you end up opening you can always close them all by spamming the exit buttons so it isn't game breaking lol
The magnets do a small amount of tick damage to everything in its range (meant to counter the accult girls who are resistant to bullets and cannons). I wanted to also make it so that everything within magnet range had their speed reduced but I just couldn't get it to work and ended up giving up on that
@xwilarg Yeah not a bad idea, if I had more time I would have added a lot more stuff to balance the game a bit more but pretty much all the issues in the game right now can be summed up to me just being a slow coder
This was great, 4.5's and 5's for everything. My arm is dead though..
Is this...hell?
Took a while to get used to the steering but it was pretty fun once it gets going. One of the best uses of the theme ive seen so far, giving us control over our lack of space
Graphics, audio and concept are really cool, I don't like how bright the zombies glow as it makes it really annoying to look at and hard to tell what is going on lol. Also the controls felt really clunky, I think you want to keep the mouse as just aiming and the wasd keys to movement seperately without them crossing over
Yeah it's pretty much great, I gave 5's for everything though if there was a category for how smooth the game ran you would have lost some points there for sure.
One thing you could have done with that ridiculous tongue is make it so we can use it as a grappling hook for short periods of time and swing ourselves around the map, that would have been A+
Cute game, really nice pixel art and the music was decent and fitting, would have been nice to get more feedback from our actions though, like having a little explosion when throwing a potion in the cauldron, or a puff of smoke when you finish making a potion, stuff like that. As someone who also likes working with pixel graphics and such I'd consider teaming up with you if you did another jam

Small and tidy concept and really good use of the theme. Biggest problem however is that there is nothing stopping me from just spamming space bar to win every round
The notes are going way too fast imo. For this kind of game if you want to help us get into a rhythm you need to keep it simple and build up slowly, rather than using words I don't even know that are 3 syllables long, sung super fast at the very start of the game. If you are going to have the notes go by this fast then you need to add a little room for error (think crypt of the necrodancer) where there is a brief before and after period where even if you miss the beat a little it still counts if you are roughly in time.
The art is really nice though and if the mechanics weren't such a struggle for me it would be a pretty good cute little game.
Pretty vague on the theme but it's not really the best theme as far as creativity goes to be fair
Creative use of the theme, I feel like the husband should be concerned that a bunch of burly men keep barging into the house rather than casually ignoring them when he walks on by lol
Pretty funny to watch, not so fun to play. I like the ideas but way too frustrating for me
Still less stressful than dating IRL. Loved it, I was disappointed lack of sound effects though, could have made it seem even more chaotic
It's exactly what it says on the tin and it's wonderful
It's pretty funny and I like the fast pace, took a lot of messing around to figure out what i was meant to do in the rat area though
I'm glad I found this, was really funny. Not a lot of actual "game-play" though. The only real interaction with the environment was some, at best, sketchy wall jumping mechanics, but that's OK given the style of game it didn't really need it
A real solid concept. I think the slingshot fires you out way too fast and the controls feel a little wonky, kind of feels more like I'm playing as a bin bag full of feathers rather than what looks like a solid metal ball. A lot of this could probably be fixed just by slowing down all the movements
A really cool idea but could have been delivered better. I think for the a stealth artillery game the best way to play it would be standing next to the artillery cannon in first person with a screen in front of you that shows a birds eye view of the enemies without the cross hair, and have the cannon fire an actual projectile that arcs down into the enemies. Might be asking a lot from a Ludum Dare, but I really like the idea and that's just my advice on how I would approach it. You'll get em next time
Pretty funny, I only wish it was cheesier
Took me 2 tries to figure you what I was meant to be doing cuz I skim read the instructions, but after reading them properly I can say I really like the idea of fishing for the right ammo, the setting and art is pretty funny too. Not too difficult but gives you enough to manage so that you can't play on autopilot.
I had a really hard time figuring out where I was actually meant to be going and for some reason the game took a really long time to load even though my PC is pretty well equipped. The idea looks really fun though with some tuning
Really good, really hard though. I don't have time to take in what is around the corner and even touch my keyboard before I hit something
5 stars for atmosphere, the only downside is it's really hard to tell what is actually going on in the game. If you wanted to take the project further I would recommend taking away some of the blackness and finding some theme fitting special effects that help the player understand what they are doing and where they are going
Very satisfying when you get it in the hole, love the little jingle.
Criticisms are that the hit boxes for the obstacles seem a bit over the top, felt like there was a lot of times that the ball would fly off in the middle of nowhere after hitting air. Would have been nice if we could zoom in and out to get a better view of where we are trying to get to
I think you got a bit of "dev knows syndrome" going on here as far as the map layout goes. Unless you properly explore it's really hard to figure out where you are meant to go but as the dev it might seem obvious to you because you made it. General concusses of "the map is too big" I have to agree with too. A neat little game though if it took less time to get to and from the places you need to go
I kind of feel like I won too easily, like the entire stealth aspect didn't actually do anything and i just answered the questions to win. The idea of hiding from your ex under the table is funny and interesting though, it really could have been better executed
Short and sweet, with some time and polish this could be really funny!
I think the idea is pretty good but the start is real slow, it feels like it takes a good 20 seconds of holding down w to get any speed going and when you do get to top speed you can kind of just hold w all the way to the end without getting caught. I think if you really want to capture the stealth aspect of the game you want to increase the acceleration by a lot so that you can zip between cover fast, and decrease the max speed so that you cant just gun it all the way through like i was
When i saw the title I was really hoping we were gonna have to throw bowling balls into pins faces before they shot us or something but this was pretty cool too. I just REALLY wish that the big red oil drums exploded when a grenade went off next to them
5/5 for every category. This is by far the most professional and fun game I have played in the jam and is the only one to make its way from my downloads folder to my games folder as I will want to play it again. I debated whether it deserved a 5 for theme and decided that the card based system was definitely deserving of the top score
Interesting but being human I can only look at one place on the screen at any one time. I tried getting past the first level and although I'm pretty sure on the third try I hit pretty much every single note I still didn't manage to kill the wave. Maybe I was just unlucky with the RNG?
I like the idea but even after reading the desc and playing a couple times I really still didn't understand the rhythm aspect or what button I was meant to be tapping, I tried tapping W mouse clicking and Space and didn't really notice any difference with any of them. My advice would be to make it more clear to the player how the game works and what the additional controls there are meant to be outside of WASD if there are any
I actually really liked this, managed to get to wave 5 before getting beaten to death. I think the only problem with the catch and throw mechanic is that you have to click on the specific ball you want, which is a lot more difficult than it is satisfying. A really good foundation and concept though. If you wanted to take this further, I would make it so that to catch a ball, you have to left click just before a ball hits you, and then it will automatically pick up the closest ball to you, then give you an indicator to show where you are aiming. If you did this I would also put a small window on how often you can pick up a new ball after throwing one to stop people just standing in the middle and spamming left click.
One last thing, put a screenshot or 2 on this page, people are a lot more likely to download and play it that way
The artwork is great but I don't feel that the visuals really mixed with the game play all that well.
Yeah I always get this same feeling when i come home to a bunch of floating tic-tacs.. I like the idea but I think the game could do with being more difficult, it's a little too easy to run past everyone and complete the maze without actually ever using the conversation mechanic
Didn't really understand it at first but after some button mashing kind of got a hang of it. A good foundation as far as puzzle games go
Simple but good twist on snake, too bad about you not finding that bug until it was too late
WE HAVE VERY SIMILAR NAMING CONVENTIONS LOL
Graphics are really good and the setting is nice and spooky. A really good groundwork for what could eventually be a pretty memorable game with some time spit and polish
Might want to take some screenshots so people have an idea what they are downloading
@samusoidal Thanks for the input! Yeah it might not have been clear what I meant by keep Mr Bear happy lol. The way the game works is that at random points in time, Mr Bear will walk up behind the player, and if there are any fish in the bowl, he takes them and walks away happy, you can just about see this in the dark if you look to your left after catching a fish, the little "nooo" sounds is mr bear taking them away and leaving the bowl empty.
Obviously if Mr Bear comes up to you and your bowl has no fish, he is not happy and breaks your neck
@toulou Damn, don't think many others have that issue and I've never had it so I can't really come up with a fix RIP
