wow, that was very cool, feels very stylish and atmospheric
well made game, for me difficulty was BRUTAL, however managed to reach blue spider, good job, enjoyed playing it!
was confused at start how to play but after a while got how to play and the game has great aha moments! well done, the only wish is to remove some tiles instead of starting drawing from the scratch again and again. good game!
the art is stylish and animations are cool, would love to have more dialog options with not so obvious choices. enjoyed playing it
was surprised that the game has localization, well done!
really cool game, I wish only fixed animations and character controller
The stacking works really well, it's chill and well polished. Some thoughts on improvements: unlocking new slots for carrying stones from the second screen doesn't actually add sense of progression would be great to have some king of vfx reward of achieving height milestones as well as reaching end goal at first it's hard to find the button to go to the second screen
well polished game with great game play loop
I love how adorable these creatures are. I was shocked to learn that they can actually die(
Taking down the larger enemies feels pretty unrewarding since they only get stunned for a couple of seconds, so I found myself just ignoring them. Also, I think the game would improve by removing the shooting mechanic when dropping creatures into the fire. On the positive side, I absolutely love the art style and animations—they look very polished and well-crafted. The diagonal movement was a pleasant surprise, both in terms of visuals and control—it feels really smooth. One suggestion I have is to add some randomization to the sound effects to make them less repetitive.
very atmospheric game
The concept is fantastic and definitely has the potential to become a full-fledged game. Here are a few suggestions:
- Food should spawn continuously: I ended up soft-locked when all my units died, and I couldn’t get any meat. - Poison spots feel too punishing: Once a unit touches the poison, it’s pretty much game over for that unit. - Controls are too complicated: Simplifying the controls by reducing the number of keys would make the gameplay much smoother. - Unit variety needs improvement: The different unit types feel too similar. Adding more variety and unique abilities would make each unit type feel more distinct and engaging.
Overall, the animations are excellent, and the game runs smoothly. Great job!
it's hard, spend about 10 attempts to beat the first level. the game is very chaotic, would prefer to start slow, simple small level to learn the game and then it goes more difficult. good job! maybe it's a bug, but in the firefox I got constantly cracking sounds.
it's harder than I thought. I think that the game would benefit from the smaller levels
great game, stylish and polished. well done
I like that you can suck enemies, very fun.
Looks very polished, I enjoyed it.
this is fun, game juice is well polished. camera shake is insane. and zoom on picking a weapon is too disrupting
I like the concept. I wish that goods are stay after the day, so I will decide to remove them if they not selling ok. Also, I would be nice to have cash to spend when buying goods, so it make sense that I bet on particular producs.
I love the idea
Bug with a platform and button blocks progression. Character control is way to rigid. The idea is cool, I see some fez here.
explosion spell is OP, the game after this spell is too easy. After couple minutes of standing still I quit due to lack of action.
Didn't get the point of "Can you hold out until the end of the night and defeat the darkness?", is it beatable? I confused cuz there was no progress for several minutes and name says that it might be endless.
nice looking game. intro a bit hard, everything happens at once. slowly increasing difficulty with adding resources one by one would be nice intro
The art is simple and the game a bit buggy (managed to got durability filled whole screen) but the game feel is awesome, the car controls are good, smashing zombies are fun. Good Job!
Didn't manage to finish it. The difficulty is way too high for me. Overall I like the idea, from my perspective with some accessibility features it might be really unique game. Something like slow-mo and trajectory prediction.
Love the idea. Physics a bit buggy, I broke the game several times. Personally I'm too scary to make anything with physics cuz I know that physics-based games are really hard to make! Good job!
fun small game, the art and animation looks nice. controls are strange, cannot play using touchpad, mouse + arrows is not usual controls. good job!
nice interpretation on game of life. in the beginning it's hard to understand what will be on the next turn, it will be helpful to display next round growing somehow
the sounds are funny) I enjoyed it much, the concept is interesting, a bit complicated when you add one more customer. great job!
It's really fun, movement feels good and nice sounds made it fun.
wow, amazing, love this bullet hell runner. the sound is awesome!
Looks like it doesn't work in browser Screenshot 2023-01-11 at 11.52.10 AM.png
Love the graphics, player controller seems way too inertial and throwing seeds is too tricky. Overall gameplay is fun
My best is 1200
Congrats on first jam! Nice job that you finished your idea! In the middle of day it's over lighted that I cannot see my current points. I didn't expected the animation but it looks nice! Hope to see you in the next jams
It's hard to understand what is going on here. But it looks neat, have no idea how to defend brain in the end.
Love it, addictive gameplay and interesting idea with one action at a time. But the screen shake is way too much.
The art is awesome, animation of the truck when it walk looks good, the Boss is stunning. But the game itself really boring, I have to wait 2 minutes before boss, without any gameplay events, than I died and wondered how to beat the boss, but after 2 attempts I wont to wait again to try beat him. I wish the game be more fast at least. I think there is a potential in this idea, so hope to see it finished.
Really interesting concept. Love the visual. Levels are not so simple). Last level beaten after 10 attempts. The dash ability is too quick. Would love more strategic/puzzle gameplay instead of quick run.
nice visual. I like the idea, I started placing animals around the center and it looks easy, maybe not the best strategy to maximise score, but anyway. Maybe some random encounters which will break straight forward strategy and force to adopt will be more fun.
My score is about 20. I like the idea about unstable weapon. I was confused about objective in the beginning. Also think that definitely need some animation for dead. Some times just didn't have enough time to look at my score. Good job.
nice and simple, easy to understand. like it. my score is 404)

I really should've gotten a cable connection by pidifussel 2026-05-07T10:26:24Z ♥ 0
it's fun mechanic, I didn't get how should I find the house but guessing. Wish these some indication where the signal should reach. Also, as others mentioned, the bug with upgrade shop, it shows null money, so I can't buy anything. Overall nice game

I wish there more choices when talking, so I can ask, the game would feel not so linear. Overall great execution, I liked the style, atmosphere and arstotzka-like vibes
