That's really cool that you made this using your own engine! The game itself looks really nice, the monotone color and effects are really pleasing. But the actual gameplay is a bit buggy. For some reason no one seems to follow me when I yell.
@someone Yeah it was probably a combination of the first two
Simple concept, but done really well! (especially considering the technical difficulties). Avoiding the squares is hard, but it's really fun and feels fair. The music sounds great and the game actually looks pretty good. Also, the leaderboard is working great for me :D

I like the game, it's a really interesting concept and it's done fairly well, I just think that the frame limit should maybe be lower.
Game is cool and I like the concept, but the rng got a bit annoying when I got really unlucky. The graphics are simple, but they work well. I also really like choosing tasks during the day and the bits of narrative.
I like the unique take on the theme. The graphics look great and the music is nice. The gameplay can be a little bit repetitive, but it's still a really neat concept and the mood is very well done.

Cool game! I really like the pixel graphics. While it is very pixely, I can still easily tell what is going on. The penguin is cute and the snowball is terrifying. The only problem I have is that it's really hard to craft without being able to throw straight down.
Beat it first try on really hard B)
Got the highscore :sunglasses: . Game is fun, I like the floating sword mechanic and the combat is fun. My only real problem is that the damage taking sound effect is really faint so it can be hard to tell when you're getting hurt.
Interesting game Lol.
For such a weird concept, it was executed really well! My only complaint is that there's no full-screen mode.
This game is amazing. I love all the visual effects to indicate the wind and make the game look beautiful. The gliding feels really good and the way the glider interacts with the wind is really cool. I can't imagine how hard that must've been to get working right Lol. The sound effects and music add to the beautiful aesthetic and slow-paced gameplay to make the game really relaxing. The only problem I have with the game is that it seems you can stay in the air indefinitely if you don't make any mistakes, but once you start to go down it can sometimes be impossible to go to land. I think this game would be awesome to build a bit more on, maybe adding larger islands and focusing on exploration/relaxation.
Fun game and really cool concept. The graphics look great, and the audio is good (especially the piece sliding sound effect). The biggest issue I have with the game is that it lets you move into check, causing instant defeat unlike in normal chess. But the concept is really cool and I'm interested to see how the AI works.

Like a lot of other people, I like the penguin art :D
The game was a little bit bland, but that makes sense if you're trying out new software. Also, the ending is really depressing Lol.
Game is cool, the graphics are simple but looks nice. The audio is minimal but it isn't irritating. The biggest issue for me is that the game can't be played in fullscreen and for some reason my mouse can sometimes be brought back to my browser so I can't look all the way around. But I really like climbing with the high-speed grappling.
@ian-kettlewell I'm using Firefox
Game is really cool. I like the voice lines Lol, they remind me of Worms. The only thing is the zombies seem to have a bit too much health so they're really hard to kill unless you corner them and spam space. But that could also have just been me misunderstanding how to attack or something. The graphics are awesome and the story/mood executed perfectly.
Game looks absolutely amazing. I love the hand animations and the zombie death effect is really cool (even the bullet trails are really nice). The punching mechanic is really neat as well and very satisfying to mow down enemies. The only real problem is that the player dies instantly when attacked.

Game looks amazing, that chicken is terrifying and the knight's walk is epic. The music is also incredible. Unfortunately it's a bit too hard. You did a really good job with the first phases making the bullets slow and the player's hitbox really small, but once the chicken is at about half health, it becomes almost impossible to avoid getting hit. But if I were to only look at the first half of the fight, I'd say the game is just about perfect.
Cool game! I like the voice lines and the graphics look nice for only 48 hours. The only problem I had was that the shooting didn't require much skill (even just adding head-shots would've been epic). Overall great game, and thank you for putting the green lights above the doors that actually open Lol.

Unique game! I like the art style, and it feels creepy. I think the audio/atmosphere could benefit from an eerie background track, but I understand that you were running out of time. My only major issue with the game is that it doesn't display my score at the end, so I can't really tell what I got. But still a really cool entry!
What kind of a hospital is this?? They have some serious legal charges coming their way!
Interesting game. I think the narrative was well done, but the crank turning could've used a little more interaction (maybe moving the mouse in a circle or something) to make it feel like more effort. The graphics looked great (the clock moving would've been amazing but I understand that time is limited), and the audio sounded good.
This game is cool! I really love the interpretation of the theme! The pixel graphics look really nice and the sound effects fit the game well. Unfortunately, I couldn't try the multiplayer but the single player was a little bit long the track could've maybe been a bit shorter). But overall the game is really cool and I wish I had someone to play it with Lol.
Love the game, the controls are frustratingly difficult but perfectly learnable. The voice lines add so much Lol, and the music only playing while you're flying makes it feel so much more intense. The swimming pools add an optional extra challenge that feels so satisfying when you finally land in the furthest (okay, okay, it was the second farthest) one. Screenshot 2022-04-08 211702.png
Nice. I knew someone would make a game about this Lol. The concept is cool, but the gameplay can get a bit repetitive (it's also kinda easy). But the 3d models look/animations look great.
EDIT: I played the final version, and it was a lot better. My only bit of feedback with that is that it's really hard to tell which joke will do what. But I guess that's just what it's like being a comedian Lol.
Graphics look amazing and the sound design is great. The only problem is that it's really hard to dodge obstacles the light hits because I can't really see them until I'm just about to hit them. But the atmosphere is really cool and I like the effect of the light traveling down the tunnel
That was cool. I like the narrative and the button pressing at different times was interesting. The game could've benefited from some sound effects and slightly improved graphics, but what it is is still pretty good for only 48 hours.
This game is really fun! The art style is epic and the hydra's head movement is really cool. I especially like that when you hit the hydra, you get your double jump back. The only thing I didn't like about the game is that moving changes your direction in the air, making it harder to attack and dodge the heads. But other than that, the game is really cool! Screenshot 2022-04-11 191433.png
This is a really cool concept. I like the hand animations and the comments they make. The only problem I had with the game is that some of the button pushers' arms are cut off because of the rectangular screen size (I think it would be better if it was just a square)
Screenshot 2022-04-11 175143.png
Weird game Lol. Picking up objects can be a bit hard but I got used to it. I just wish the restart button was different from the pickup button because I'll sometimes restart by accident and don't see my highscore.
Game looked amazing and the music was awesome. The art style fit the narrative perfectly and I love the feeling of going super fast.
But unfortunately there are some big issues with the physics. It looks like you used a built-in physics system which doesn't work best in this application. Moving left/right is momentum based which can make the character hard to move quickly, and centrifugal force means that the player will fall much faster while moving left/right. I think it would've been better to keep track of the player's velocity then move the player forward based on that every frame, then store the player's left/right location with a 360deg. angle. Then use raycasts to tell if the player is grounded or runs into something. To move left/right just change the angle by an amount inversely proportional to the distance from the center.
But don't get me wrong, this is still an excellent submission and I enjoyed it very much :smile: .
Graphics are cool and I like the spaceship model. The sound effects are a bit harsh, but the music isn't too bad. Sometimes the shooting can be a bit finicky where asteroids will take a lot of shots to blow up, but I like that the cross-heirs are movable by the mouse. At first I tried the game on the browser version and I have to say, it runs Much better on my computer (I would even suggest you consider removing the web version because it's almost unplayable).
This game was a bit ambitious for 72 hours. I'm impressed you two were able to finish what you did, but the game is a bit too complex to learn and the lack of sound effects or action for 98% of the gameplay can make it somewhat boring. But I do think it could be really cool with some fine tuning.
Art is amazing and the movement is nice and crisp. It's really fun to chain together bouncing on cars. I also like how the car can easily survive a hundred foot fall but can't be rear ended a couple times :P. Screenshot 2022-04-07 201402.png
This is a really fun concept.
The 3d models and animation are incredible, and I like the intense gameplay trying to get a max highscore.
@cinnamon18 Try clicking on the Tutorial button in the main menu. It should explain everything there, but if you still need help feel free to ask again.
@rhewid Thanks and nice job! The final boss cannot be killed so it will inevitably destroy your castle. The tutorial explains this a little bit more.
@homineludens Nice. And thanks for the feedback!
@gummibot I tried to explain a little more about the towers in the tutorial, but I probably shouldn't have let you put mud on the grass Lol. Thanks for the feedback, you have no idea how much it means to me that someone likes the music Lol.
@jcmonkey Lol and thanks
@ismael-rodriguez I'm glad you liked it! I definitely would've added the ability to click on the towers to select them, but with the strict time limit I prioritized other things.
@papaya Thanks I'm glad you liked it! Also, did you read the tutorial? I tried to make everything as clear as I could there.
@lisyarus Thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it! (also, did you read the tutorial? I tried to communicate the controls but I'm not sure how well I did considering so many people were confused).
@bearding8 Did you try clicking the fullscreen button? It seems to work fine for me and everyone else.
@ldjq Oh, I'm sorry I didn't realize the UI didn't scale automatically. Thanks for sticking with the game, I'm really glad you were able to figure it out and enjoy it!
@daniel-username Sorry, just now saw your message, I'll try and play your game as soon as I can.
@daniel-username @david-york @bogden Thank you all so much for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I have a lot to think about next jam Lol. :D
Game is awesome, I love the interpretation of the theme. Killing the ghouls while managing specials is pretty fun, and definitely feels like delaying the inevitable. The narrative is good and it's really cool that there are multiple stages to the defense. The game looks great and the music is superb. Also, it's a really cool detail that you can actually cut the grass tufts with the scythe. The only thing I'm not a fan of is that the tornado special sticks you in a random place when it's done, sometimes doing more harm then good because the vault is defenseless until the player can get back. But the game as a whole is amazing.Screenshot 2022-04-07 204059.png
Hello, you asked for me to give your game similar feedback as you did mine, so here I am!
First of all, I think the game concept is really cool. The idea of making a boat that's continually sinking and you have to keep adding new structures on top of the boat to keep it above the water, creating this comical ship that's mostly below water. The art style fits the game perfectly, and the waves specifically look really good.
But I think the main reasons the game didn't do as well is the following:
1. There was a huge visual bug with the hulls breaking and filling with water. Most of the time it wouldn't even display anything except for the *very* subtle sprite change which isn't very noticeable. It's a good system when it works (usually works consistently after surviving for a while for some reason), but with the bug I didn't even know the hulls were breaking until I turned on the debug info.
2. The components need a lot of balancing. The castle component hurts more than it helps and hulls take so long to sink that you don't really need anything but a couple fans to go as far as you want if you keep fixing the hulls (so stacking components to stay above water level just makes the ship sink faster).
3. The audio could've had a bit more to it. The audio was definitely good, but I think more people would've rated it higher if the sound effects had been more prominent (something like boiler sounds and a loud metal sound when stuff breaks).
4. The graphics could've been more dynamic. I personally think the graphics were great, but I think a lot of people would've rated it even higher if there had been more distinct animations for when stuff breaks, or if there was just more complicated, impressive-looking stuff going on.
That's all I have, I think the game was really good, and the biggest issue was just the visual glitch I mentioned earlier.
I am good.png
Really interesting concept, it really felt inevitable. The only problem I had was that the gameplay ended up being really slow just waiting for the ball to go through the whole thing. But the graphics look good and the audio style is cool. The map is also really well made.
The game is kinda easy if you just buy passive energy upgrades until you have ridiculous amounts of money, but the graphics look nice (especially the explosions and the destruction of the asteroid) and the sound effects are awesome.
I like the concept, and the art is really good. But with no score counter or win state, the game can get kinda boring. Also, I think that adding a juicy sound effect to swinging the bat would be an awesome addition.
Interesting take on the theme. I couldn't destroy the first asteroid without an auto-clicker though. The graphics are awesome, and the audio is good. But my favorite part is that if you shoot the other turrets, they all turn in sink and shoot you Lol. 5/5 in humor just for that.
I love the concept of using shaders to create drug trip effects Lol.
The game is goofy and the art is good and the animations are really smooth. Unfortunately there are a lot of bugs (like moving interrupting the dying animation which means you can live f o r e v e r). But it was definitely a good call to give the player so much health.
Overall it was pretty cool, I just wish the drug effects would stack >:)
Game is really well done and very fun! (I played for over half an hour Lol). I love the intuitive way you make each item and the paintings are awesome. My only complaint is that the cost to open the exit is waay too high.
@peytonbrown Those bugs are awesome Lol
I guess I wasn't the only one to make a "Tower Defense" game Lol. This game is pretty cool, the graphics look nice and the strategy is cool. Also, I absolutely love the story and the humor :D. The only thing the game really needs is some music and more sound effects.
Screenshot 2022-04-12 195615.png
Really interesting game. I think it's really cool that you can see other people's flights, I just wish there was a score indicator or something to show how long you've flown.
Dang, you really get thrown right into the action Lol. The game is pretty fun. I really like the auto-lock-on to simplify aiming. The different weapons were pretty cool though some of them seem much weaker than others. The art is cool, and the audio is decent. Overall, a fun entry!
This is a really cool game! The visuals are epic and the gameplay is relaxing. My biggest problem with the game is that the best strategy is just gathering crates near the surface so the upgrades aren't really necessary. But then again, zipping along at Mach 10 is pretty fun Lol.
The game is cool, it's really simple but the graphics look really nice and the twist ending is funny.
This is a pretty cool idea. It took a second to figure out how it worked but once I did, it was really fun. You have to think fast and play a lot of cards instead of just carefully planning a few. Unfortunately, once I realized that the game became really easy to spam cards with minimal thought. But the idea definitely has a lot of potential. The graphics look great, though I had trouble trying to put the game in fullscreen. Also, the music was good and I think it's funny how the watermark almost adds to the game because it sounds so robotic Lol.
I really like your interpretation of the theme!
The graphics look great, and I really like the reload animation. If only all shooter games were as accurate as this... The game has a lot of juice as well. My only problem is that the ten seconds can feel like a bit much so there's a lot of waiting around. I think it could be cool if there were other ways to kill the redcoats besides shooting that were maybe a bit harder. But overall, still a great game that was really fun!
This game is pretty cool! I really like the idea, trying to send the planes where they need to go without them colliding is really fun. I wish the path following of the planes didn't feel as janky, but it still works. Also, I think it could be nice if the planes moved a bit faster to keep up with the income of new planes. But overall, a really fun and creative game!
Interesting idea. My biggest complaint is that there's no way to regain health. But I really like speeding around at 5x speed Lol.
This is a really cool game! The concept is super unique and awesome, and it's really fun. The graphics look great and the audio is a bit minimal, but it still sounds good. While it could be frustrating trying to get to the goal while flying blind, the levels are short and easy enough it's not a problem. It's kinda funny because my biggest complaint with a lot of the games this jam is that ten seconds is too long Lol. I think that if the radar moved a bit faster, this game has a lot of potential for more complicated and difficult levels. But overall, an awesome game that I enjoyed a lot! (also, I love the name Lol)
Very creative! I like the concept of the game, I haven't seen anything like it before and it's pretty cool. My biggest problem is that it's hard to tell why I died sometimes. Beyond that, not all keyboards are organized like the one in the picture which can be a bit confusing. But still, a really cool concept that has a lot of potential.
Hmmm, I wonder what game this might be referencing...
I really like the humor in this game and how the dude just won't shut up Lol. The graphics are really cool and the sound effects are neat. I like how there seems to be different endings, but it does feel weird having a score card at the end because the game is a bit tedious to replay. But overall, a really cool game :)
This game is Awesome! The graphics are Stunning! I need this as a screensaver Lol. The particles look absolutely amazing and I could probably spend hours just in the sandbox mode. The actual game part isn't bad, though I do wish it was a bit easier (I think expanding the view to the fullscreen could help if you can do that without ruining the performance). But overall, an amazing experience!
@bart-moon Wow, thank you so much for the detailed feedback!
I like all the random bird facts Lol. The game is pretty cool, but it can be super frustrating to have a whole word deleted because of one typo. I would suggest just removing the last typed letter instead as a less extreme penalty (you could also freeze the player for or something like that instead). But overall, still a cool game with some really nice bird art!
Really awesome game! I don't like cats very much, but seeing them get torn to shreds still made me sad. The game's graphics are simple but they work really well. The puzzles are really clever and fun (Though I think the code is wrong the one with the numbers on post it notes). The audio sounds great and I especially like how if you get far enough away you can't hear the saw anymore. Also, the little bits of text are really funny. Overall, excellent game!
This is actually a solid submission! It's super simple but it works really well. The graphics look great and the zero gravity with the random g-forces is really cool. Also, the green spotlight at the end is just evil >:) Screenshot 2022-10-03 173822.png
Cool game. I like the art (especially the enemy sprites) and the particle effects are really nice and colorful. My biggest complaint is that you can't hold down the button to shoot.
This game is very appealing visually, and the music is very relaxing. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit bland. The best strategy seems to be just holding W and Space. Also, while the theme is used, it doesn't really affect the gameplay that much so it's not super obvious. But you really did a very good job with the graphics. They are simple, but the colors and shapes are nice enough that I would love to have this as a screensaver. Overall, I'd say the graphics + audio make up for the simple gameplay.
This is a really interesting idea. While the theme doesn't feel super strong, the mechanics of guiding planes through specific spaces to get more arrows is really cool. The rhythm is also really nice, it doesn't feel sluggish but it still gives enough time to drag things around and plan ahead. Overall, a great game! Screenshot 2022-10-02 230401.png
Hey, your download appears to be a web build even though it's marked as a downloadable. You should be able to change your Itch page to embed the game though.
Awesome.
The game is looks cool, and the concept is neat, but having to sit through the intro every time I fail is a bit annoying. The gameplay is kinda fun, but I'm not sure what's supposed to happen after the fourth level because it seems like I die no matter what. But I really like that gun model and the ending was properly insulting Lol :)
I absolutely love the graphics and the audio is minimal but good. The interpretation of the theme is pretty cool, though it is pretty easy to just unplug everything without thinking too much. I think it would be cool if you had to plug the wires back in somewhere or the bomb would explode.
