This was a super interesting take, and a cool FPS aimed at hitting the theme. The ammo capacity felt quite restrictive, but I had a lot of fun with the rope!

I think you've got a very cool little game on your hands, and I would love to see you flesh it out for a longer and more full experience. I love exploring the planets and learning about them, and your writing was great. Also, transitioning in and out of the ship really adds a whole extra dimension to the game, great idea. Kudos!
This was fun, and the moles big hands were a great addition. I liked the funky music and the diggy noises. Great job!
This is a really lovely game. Thank you for commenting on ours, as it brought me here. One of my favourites from the jam. Nice, tight and satisfying platformer controls, a cool mechanic, great audio, simple but enjoyable narrative and cute little pixel art. Provides everything you could ask for from a polished jam game. Great work!
This was a really cool idea and interesting take on the theme. I couldn't figure out a good strategy, so my playthroughs normally meant I would get hit on most levels and eventually get overwhelmed and die. However, the overall experience was very satisfying, with clean gameplay mechanics and aesthetically pleasing visuals and sounds. Great work!
The aesthetics of this game are wonderful. Love the minimalist design, it is a super satisfying experience all round. Great job!
This game is really cool, and definitely one for the QWOP fans. Sadly, after flopping around like a useless fish for a few minutes at the surface and failing to get myself pointing in the right direction for more than I few seconds, I gave up. Nonetheless, its exactly what it says on the tin, and delivers it as well as you could ask for. Great job guys :) Reading some of the comments shows that victory is definitely met with the right kind of satisfaction!
The mechanic is super cool, and you had some good puzzle ideas and introductory level design. Would love to see this fleshed out with some prettier graphics!
The lava graphic is super cool, and I liked the setting and some of the cool ideas you came up with (resources and narrative)
A truly bizarre little adventure, with a quirky story and good use of simple gameplay elements to get it all fitting together. I found it a little text heavy, but also very innovative. Good work!
Really enjoyed the 3D art (especially the environment) and found the experience quite relaxing (except for the impending death from above!)
This was a really cool experience with lots of charm. Everything fit well together and that gave it a wonderfully encompassing mood, with great music, satisfying gameplay and good tempo regarding the design. Great work!
Absolutely loved the shop/shop keeper, and had fun returning to it over and over. Would have preferred it if I could skip the first section after unlocking the suit because it took me a while to get it the first time.. But ultimately a great jam game, thanks for making it!
@funambulist-cat Thanks for playing it and the kind words! :)
@kitty-mama thanks for playing! You're right, it's just like the magic schoolbus (but maybe not as trippy?)
@merlinnsound Thanks for sticking with it, through the frustration! It definitely could do with a little toning down in terms of difficulty. Thanks for the lovely words regarding the art and music! @mitsouko did a great job on both :)
@chrisap Thanks for playing dude! And also thank you for the lovely feedback. Looking forward to catching you stream again sometime :)
@jmartinez-gamedev Thank you for the feedback, glad you liked the animations and enjoyed the insideyness! I think you might be right about the batteries, it could have done with some tweaking.
@christian-jallas Thanks dude! A lot of work was put into that haha
@arguablyarugula There are definitely a lot of spikes, and the hitboxes aren't the most friendly. Glad you found it interesting and fun to play though!
@vitor-milioni Thanks so much for the larger review! Also great suggestions. We did have an internal back and forth about the batteries as a pickup but decided to go with "safety zones" instead. You have a great eye for many things that we thought about but didn't have the time (or maybe energy) to sort out haha, but glad to hear them mentioned because that justifies that they would still be valuable changes. Thanks so much for playing and for the kind words, glad you had fun with it and enjoyed the art!
@sharkmax218 You're right haha, thanks for playing!
@shubart Lovely words for our artist and audio person @mitsouko :) Thank you for playing it!
@judgeclark It definitely isn't for the faint of heart (or brain?). Glad you enjoyed the art, thanks for playing!
@matejag Thanks so much! I think you might be right, some areas are a little.. dangerous shall we say. Thanks for playing!
@kr0s Thanks so much for playing, the kind words and for the extra bit of feedback. We'll take note!
@xpoho You are right! There are many challenges to face inside the mind.. Thanks for playing :)
This is my favourite game that I've seen! I had the pleasure of seeing it played on stream. Cool mechanics, well implemented, highly polished and lovely graphics and audio. A real treat from a jam. Great work!
This is what game jams are all about. Loved the voice over and the kooky direction you took the theme!
Absolutely adorable art! The idea was super cool and I really enjoyed finding the secret passage back to the top haha, although I have to say I felt like a pretty inadequate mole D:
This game was cute, and even though the premise was sad (can't believe you made me kill my dog!), I think the exectuion and humour was good! So it's a shame that it doesn't opt into the humour category. However, I can understand why that might be the case due to the potentially sensitive subjects matter.. Nonetheless, a great experience! Although I did get stuck when I got to the room with the squirrel-toy puzzles. The platforming was also really difficult here, so eventually I had to give up. It's a super cool little experience though, and a great jam entry. Thanks for making it!
The King of Atlantis and his army of angry bubbles are incredibly vicious, they messed me up within 10 seconds every try haha. Really enjoyed the soundtrack, and I love the bubble gun and grabbing all the coins. Good work!
This game was a fever dream, and I don't really know what I was experiencing.. except that I thoroughly enjoyed it and played it till the levels repeated! Thanks for making this :)
Really cool world design and I enjoyed the movement and different weapon types in the game.
The atmosphere was great, I really felt like I was stuck inside of the oppressive, deep and dark forest. The puzzles were interesting, but controls seemed a little inconsistent, and it was hard to figure out what was what. I really enjoyed the experience though, and I think it could turn into something really cool.
