Entry look great! Sorry, I cannot check it because I do not have windows workstation here.
Right now I'm learning how to work with 3D in Godot (I made my LD game in Godot too, but 2D). Could you please share the source code? Interesting to see how do you work with animations and postprocessing. Thanks!
Good entry. I like hero design and animations, and how whole world is looks like (all these falling columns, arcs, and so on). Introducing new features and control tutorial is also awesome. Music also fits good. But unfortunately I was stuck in second level, with color keys and doors. Maybe I just missed some key, need to try finding it out.
Oh, it reminds me one of our previous game, when we needed to manage spaceship and throw things into furnace. I like the atmosphere and setting (zeppelin flying through clouds!). Maybe I would like to see some random events - just to make gameplay not so monotonic. And, of course, I would like to steer zeppelin :)
I like the art style and how fire effects are done, it is very atmospheric (and music too). But it is really hard to control the hero - hard to predict where he will land when jumping, or maybe he will fall down.
I like the puzzles of such kind!
Wow, it is so sadly and joyfully at same time. The most kindly game our team ever made.
I like thost small details like cold breath, fish animations, a bit different phrases on repeating cases. I would like to have a bit more things to do, not just putting woods into fire. Or, I'm sure, it could be a very beautiful "walking" game, with strange and mysterious nature around (we are in dream, right?) where it is nice to just walk around and see.
Well done good polished entry... Just kidding :) I like the art, I like the story. Gameplay is smooth enough, but it feels like I never go far away from robot - it is too dangerous. On big maps with many enemies I usually make 2-3 steps around to gather something and then take off. I would like to have more stealth mechanics here, but I'm not sure what enemies see and have no way to distract them. Anyway I was able to win. Good luck!
Simple but finished game with all in place: music, graphics and sounds. Good luck!
Nice puzzle idea! But I got stuck a bit. When I fill crystals with colors, after time they change their colors for some reason. I don't get how to fill all crystals with valid colors if they change their colors by themselves :( Controls are bit strange, but I already used to them, so it is not a big problem.
The aiming system is awesome. It is very fun to try shoot multiple enemies at once.
I like the contrast between garden and the pit (the music there is chilling). The game itself is meditative, I like it too.
I would like to have a hint during a game - how flowers/fruits affects Ctulhu's state (I read that in "controls" menu, but forgot in few moments).
Good entry! I like overall design and how it is played. A bit "fast" for me, but I know that my reaction is slow. Also I like that game is randomized a bit on every start.
Maybe a bit less inertia would be fine. Also I expected that down key will accelerate starship to opposite direction, not just break (hey, it is space!) :) But playing this game and trying all the upgrades and investigating new enemies - all of that was very fun. Good luck, guys!
I like puzzles! This is very good one. But I need to say it is not obvious from start that you may bite off the tail. The graphics and musics fit the game ideally.
Very fun game! I would like to have more levels to pass, with different enemies/allies. But for compo it is pretty well done.
Good entry. Both design and music work together. I liked gameplay and how you made upgrades system. Good luck!
Nice entry! I like graphics and animations. Gameplay is simple, but it works well.
Difficult for me, but fun enough. I like the AI opponents, and I like to see they have same troubles as I have :) Was not able to pass waterfall after multiple tries :( I know it shall be possible, just cannot find the valid order.
Good look on jam!
This game has amazing visual style. I like how perspective is used when crows arrive and fly away. And the chaos on the field :) Good look!
Very good entry! Interesting mix of genres. Unfortunately I did not succeed passing the quest, but I would like to try beating it later. One only thing: it could be nice to pause falling figures while new story text is printing. I takes long to read it (especially for non-native english readers :)), and without reading I don't know which commands are available next. Good luck!
Yeah, too short! It was fun to find very long command after those "jump" and "turn". I expected that on highest levels that will be multiple sentences or poems to type fast, but game ends... BTW, I like that I need to hit ENTER to apply command - it allows to me to prepare myself: type command far away from needed point and then apply with single ENTER hit.
Hey, it is very good entry in my opinion. Graphics and animations are just amazing, music fits, and interesting gameplay idea. The problem is that it requires 2 players, and it is hard (but still possible :)) to play alone. A simple AI for king (which just randomly drops the blocks around) could be very useful. BTW, I found your entry on itch.io while searching for web entries. Don't forget to add web link here, on entry page - you have only Windows one. Lot of people doesn't like to download games, so link to web would be useful to get more ratings. Good luck!
Good implementation of theme. THAT is hockey I with to play in reality :) Or at least play with friends on network. Excelent gameplay, good AI, nice graphics!
That is good example of combination - the platformer speed is enough to react on environment and type commands. The only problem I see is that it is a bit monotonic - after 1-2 minutes I think I saw all the cases and just repeat the same actions. Maybe it could be good to insrease speed in time, so additional challenge appears. Good job!
Hey, that is really fun! Destroying everything with such major music and bright graphics - is a good contrast. Not sure is there a way to win - seems like we (Earth) can just survive as long as possible. Very memorable entry - not every day I can play for a planet! Good luck!
Good puzzle entry! It reminds me the LaserTank game. Not sure, but I think that hero could be invulnerable - it is hard enough without it :)
It is a good puzzle with non-standard visual. It could be just one of a lot of puzzle-games with boxes, buttons and doors, but this sphere surface, action around level and ambient music make mystery atmosphere. Main hero could have some animations of walking and pushing, but for compo it is ok - I know how little time you had :) Good luck!
It's fun enough and fits the theme, but for me it is a bit hard - I loose in several seconds :( Probably I just need to sleep more to restore reaction speed ) Graphics is good for such fast gameplay - it is very clear what happens on screen.

Do NOT Summon the Kraken by Willby 2024-04-17T15:02:29Z ♥ 2
Vibe of good old sierra quests, very atmospheric and fun. I would like to have big adventure in this style, new Legend of Kyrandia. Awesome!
Bony Barricade by Philocode 2024-04-17T14:52:22Z ♥ 1
I like the idea! I had troubles when my castle is attacked by dozen of archers - even if I summon some spearmen they was not able to kick archers. BTW, are big ballistas on castle towers supposed to shot? It is not clear how the resources appear (I mean "bones") - from enemy bodies? I like the art style. Maybe with more time there would be good animations and sounds. Good luck!
Demon Chalk by AmberFall92 2024-04-17T14:40:12Z ♥ 2
Few, a bit hard for me, but that is not game's fault. I like how it looks and sounds. BTW, is there a way to listen separate soundtrack? :) Drawing around enemies to hurt them - is a brilliant mechanic!
Gerald the Blind Butler by maxflav 2024-04-17T12:01:09Z ♥ 1
Very fun puzzle! I like how it is done, tiny levels and cute pixelart. Also thanks for great hints before each level - lot of games miss some tutorial or help so it is not easy to understand how to play them.
Summoned Assault by milano23 2024-04-17T06:39:39Z ♥ 1
Reverse tower defence is what I've tried to create (not on LD), I like this idea. The main problem is that I cannot see the level before choosing units to spawn. So I just spawned gorillaz all the time, because they are fast, strong and armoured. I think this game could grow to real product. Good luck!
Magnet Head by Brooklyn Humphrey 2024-04-17T06:31:41Z ♥ 1
Game with magnets, I like it! It requires some strategy, because when there are multiple enemies I cannot just reuse the same projectile, and I need to be careful to not destroy them accidentially. Music does not seem to fit, but it is not annoying. Sounds and effects fit good, I feel that magnetic power.
