Extremely pretty game!
This is so creative! Love it!
Very fun. the enemies are tough do deal with in the later levels
[Also Posted on the Itch site] I love this! A really cool Cookie Clicker like! Really well polished. A bit of work and I'd play it as an idle game regularly. So the rest of the Feedback comes from a place of admiration, I don't think I played any other Jam game this long. What I would wish for Gameplay wise is to Upgrade your Buildings and drones, so that you could truly go infinite. I think it would actually make the optimization easier, for example you could add a merge drones option, that merges 2 drones and then they have the carrying capacity of 4. Than you could still have a hard limit on the amount of objects, while making the infinite dream more achievable. The same idea could be used for the Buildings and resources. Polish wise this is near perfect, the only minor adjustments I would wish for are that there is more variation in collection sounds (The sound is great, but you hear it thousands of times), and the background is sometimes a bit buggy and doesn't tile correctly.
Love the sound and the J.J. Abrams level post processing :D
Cool sound design. I got a bit lost on the map. But I like the vibe of the game
Cool Concept. Love the Cards!
Really like the concept! You need a while to get going, but once you have enough money to fulfill more complex requests it's quite fun. The scrolling was a bit off though. And some of the balancing seems of, I had a clay coin request witch was set to medium, but I did not see a single clay coin in 20 mins of playing.
Really like the concept. Stacking your raft is really fun. I would have liked the camera to zoom out more as the raft get's bigger. And loosing all your stuff with a big raft when you get hit once, is a bit punishing. I also like the quirky stick man art, feels nostalgic. Good Job
This is really fun. Playing with WASD, the AI Destroyed me like it was the LeBron James of Bumber Master. So maybe an easy Mode would be nice for noobs like me. This has a lot of potential post LD. Feels like a mix of Mario Kart and Gangbeats. Great Job! I hope you Develop it further. I'll be back to play it in the two Player mode after Work. This is my favorite Entry so far :)
I liked the game. Unfortunately I had a bug so that my tiles did not upgrade. Has a lot of potential, with a bit more polish
Very violent in a good way. Nice Game!
Really like the concept and the music queue was funny. Sadly got stuck in Level 2
Impressive to code a whole OS in a Gam Jam :D I was a bit overwhelmed by the amounts of text, especially with the clock running down.
Great visuals and music. I like the concept. The controls felt somewhat over responsive and inverted to what I would expect from real live rowing.
I like a nice pinball Game. Nice theme, might have benefited from some more advanced interactions. The center of board seems a bit empty. Currently I was just shooting for the Openings at the top. The bounce and the physics was really well done
Nice concept. Could use a tutorial, and the difficulty curve seems a bit weird. I like the depth :)
Great Puzzle Game, well polished and quite pretty
Awesome. Very polished, cool mechanic. Best I played so far.
Nice Concept. A bit confused by this circle indicator
Like the concept and the music. I find the hit sound when you hit one of the balls is quite high, and a bit uncomfortable. I like the smooth gameplay. My only issue is that the enemy sphere is quite erratic in how hard it is to dodge
Really nice, didnt have any sound. For me a bit difficult at the start, but was playing with a trackpad. Very fun game!!!
Very simple Idea, but cool execution! Love the art! This as a cookie clicker would be awesome. I think the looping with higher speeds Idea is cool, but in the end i was just spaming random clicks, since that seemed most effective
Nice Tower Defense game! A tutorial would be nice, also the AI has some weird target selection. I like the large variety of buildings :)
Really cool! The writing was especially funny! The game is a bit too easy for my taste, there usually was a clear best option to take. The tax mechanic is a bit intransparent, it's hard to gauge how much tax can be reasonably set.

The web build sadly only shows like a quarter of the screen for me. I will play it again if fixed!
What the SIGNAL??! by Discomorphine 2026-04-27T19:18:44Z ♥ 1
"Look it was miscommunication no need to drop a nuke...". Really cool Idea, I definitely needed the walkthrough to get a grip. The amount of work you put into the alien language is really cool. I think the game might benefit from a stronger focus on the decoding part, it was a bit weird to mine resources in between. The added mechanical complexity also makes it harder to figure out the core gameplay.

Incredible game, with the war in Ukraine, this had a very surreal and depressing feeling. Not to diminish the game in any way, quite the opposite. It’s impressive to convey the stress and feeling of threat in a medium like this.
Tower Signal by Pierre-Marie 2026-04-25T20:06:01Z ♥ 2
This game is seriously awesome! I managed to reach the 10^15 score level. I loved how creative it was. I tried to build an infinity machine by routing signals in circles, but my mouse got laggy in the later stages. Also, in the super high numbers, the shop upgrades don’t really matter because you have so much money. I really hope you keep working on this game after the jam. It would be an incredible sandbox game without the bugs!

Cool idea, it was quite fun latter on to destroy huge numbers of enemies. I was a bit confused why you always had to draw each pattern twice.

The Frog is really cute! Simple but engaging gameplay!
Small Among Storms by ShanzPro 2026-04-24T15:44:34Z ♥ 4
Extremely pretty game, reminds me a bit of animal well. The mechanics are clever and well done. I like the little squirrel and its quest for acorns, reminded me a bit of Sid in Ice Age. I have two issues, first the hit boxes are somewhat unforgiving especially for the moving platforms and some of the dangers where to frequent, I had the feeling that I constantly had to hide from the bird. Lovely game all in all!
Drum`n`Ice by PepeBrante 2026-04-24T15:32:18Z ♥ 3
NO I LOST TO A BIG MEAN WALRUS! Love the vibe of the game, sadly I have no sense of rhythm, so I am struggling a bit, but it's still really fun! I think you could play around a bit more with stronger visual clues, for those of us witch are less rhythmically gifted....

When I heard the theme, this was my first idea. Unfortunately, it didn’t win the vote in the team. But I’m so glad you went with the building the signals idea and did such a great job! My only small suggestion is that the timer feels a bit too harsh at the start. But overall, I really like the execution!

Cool innovative mechanic!
Laser Signals by Le Don 2026-04-24T15:07:12Z ♥ 2
Quite clever side scroller! I like the color switch dynamic. I have to say i found the game quite difficult, which can be a valid design choice. However some of the difficulty came from the enemies having what felt like inconsistent triggers, this makes the projectiles hard to predict, which can be a bit frustrating. I would really like to play this again with reduced difficulty. It however is definitely possible that I am just bad at side scrollers!

I have to say I struggled a bit with getting a grip on the hidden codes, maybe you can add more of an explanation in the description? Otherwise this is visually very polished, i especially like the Quad Panel display. One minor polish improvement would be to disable horizontal scrolling in the SOP, or even open the SOP fullscreen.

Intresting idea I liked the hidden timing game, I think some of the static sounds are quite distracting. Cool 3d visuals
ROV-R by Abiral 2026-04-22T17:41:23Z ♥ 1
Nice concept I see a lot of potential, just the navigation commands got repetitive quite quickly, but with some additional taks maybe more complex decision blocks this would be quite fun

Perfect scores from me! Incredible! Even educational!
FOREIGN FREQUENCY by dvan1337 2026-04-22T16:28:59Z ♥ 2
Incredible game I loved it!!! It was really quite horrifying to be helplessly translating the messages while the story unfolds. Also incredible executions! My only minor nit pick is that "divides letters" is a bit confusing. I needed a minute to get that. Really strong game!
Deep Conversation by Paulsams 2026-04-22T16:04:27Z ♥ 3
The concept is awesome, but it's quite difficult to understand how to operate the various features. The art and the sound is really cool and I like the concept of the signal tweaking
remote vroom vroom by Tymus 2026-04-22T13:32:14Z ♥ 1
The visuals are really cool, the signal loss effect is extremely clever. The game was quit tough for me, might have to try again later!
Combo Cooker by WobbleBlocks 2026-04-22T13:26:17Z ♥ 2
Cool concept, I was a bit overwhelmed by the follow chart in the beginning, but it was really fun mixing different things on the fly. I had some issues with the combine though, it sometimes good stuck and I couldn't combine ingredients anymore
Radio Nation by pro4 2026-04-22T09:55:51Z ♥ 1
This reminds me a lot of islanders, the theme approach is clever. I don't really get why the map needs to gradually expand. In my opinion it, would be cooler if you could just place normally on a larger map. Also might benefit from more building types. Lots of potential for an islanders type game, really like it!
