I liked the puzzle design and quite enjoyed the art! The last finished puzzle sure ramped up the difficulty, was a bit lost until I realized you started out with two ladders. As others have said the ladder number would sometimes display the wrong value and having one pick-up button for objects would've been great. But had a lot of fun playing, thanks for the game! :D
Loved the visuals, music, and mood of this game, it all fit very well together. The mechanics of flying the ship felt great as well. The ladders to the platforms were somewhat buggy for me and I found them difficult to climb up (or sometimes my character would be reset upon hitting the edge of a platform when trying to climb). But overall an amazing entry!
Loved how challenging the puzzles were, involved some thought to get through. And I also appreciated the amount of levels and the sound effects. Would be great to see some more complex art but for 12 hours great job! :D
I could play this just for the music! Loved the art and the puzzles were great. My one wish is that if you accidentally jumped from the top of a stack and hit a bone that you'd regain control of the original stack (did that one too many times haha). Great entry!
Wow great concept! I thought this had a good difficulty to it and the levels allowed you to learn as you went. The restart button was also super useful in keeping the action going. Awesome Job!
Wow impressive for a 2 day jam! I liked the simplistic art and having AI to battle against was great. Like a few others have said being able to select multiple ships from within the planetary view or being able to select ships from the galaxy view would be a great addition! Awesome job!
Loved the sound effects and the art style (colors/ backdrop).

I liked the concept of this game! Kept me busy trying to multi task the objectives. The icons for the plants needs could sometimes be hard to see so I'd sometimes miss them, but overall great game!

I liked the music! The AI for the knights was cool to see and I liked how there was a select all keybind. Some of the sounds effects got to be a bit too much when there was a lot of goblins XD. And for the knights I controlled they seemed to stop fighting after following a command so my best strat was to let them roam. Thanks for the game!

A difficult game but I had a lot of fun playing this. I also liked the ice cube character sprite! I think a slightly faster charge time and more control with the aiming would make the game a bit easier and allow for some cool in-air maneuvers. But I didn't mind the more difficult precision that was required as is. Great job!
Defend 'till the end by kjscott 2022-04-17T16:44:34Z ♥ 1
Cool game! I loved the art of the planet, how it rotated with clouds and how you could see the damage it took from asteroids. I also liked how the asteroids split into smaller ones after being shot. I made a similar asteroid defense game for this Jam but opted for a smaller view and a wave based asteroid system, but originally was thinking of showing the whole planet like you have, so it's cool to see how they compare!

I liked the art style of this a lot (footsteps in the snow was an awesome touch). I'm impressed with the whole inventory system as well. An overarching goal beyond survival or more things to do would be a great addition but an awesome job!

I liked the difficulty curve on this, definitely got into the 'zone' as it got harder. Thanks for the game!

I like how the game started out very peaceful and quickly got more hectic with the tempo change. Also enjoyed the cute penguin art. Thanks for the experience and nice work! :D

I really liked the particle and sound effects on this one, seemed like the first jump was one of the harder ones to get but got the hang of the rest. Thanks for the game!

I liked the evolution through time concept and had fun playing this one. Some of the UI seemed a bit off target but it may have just been the full screen web version. Thanks for the game!
Keep it Secret by Zettabit 2022-04-06T05:16:36Z ♥ 0
Great take on the theme, loved the humor and the art. I seemed to be able to stop the gossip at two people perpetually (I assume the red names spread if they talk for too long), so a mix up at the start to make it slightly harder would be a cool addition. But great job!

Loved the sound effects and graphics, a relaxing game to play!
