Awesome game! Really liked the art style, combining in a charming way fun 3d models and 16bit-ish textures looked great :) The concept is also very charming and could be really cool in a multiplayer competitive scene.
I liked the storytelling it was well written and added to the experience. The hand mechanic is comedic and is a fun idea to base your game around to use, though I wish it was slightly better to control, it felt slightly weird to control it and it wasn't clicking well enough with how the camera presented your point of view. Slight tweaking with the positioning and pov might have really helped.
But it was really enjoyable, as many said before, gave off Stanley Parable vibes :)
The audio and graphics also helped set the mood well.
I really enjoyed the numerous little puzzles and how unique each one was. Though the 2nd one I sadly couldn't understand even with the hint. The visuals and hints present weren't enolugh to make it clear what it was I was interacting with and what I was trying to accomplish.
I also really liked the dialogue system really neat! I tried to do something similar in my entry, couldn't get the timed text scroll as well as I wanted, so ended up scrapping part of the logic haha.
Windows build. Game crashes right in the beginning sadly :/ When you spawn to look at the humans, after moving forward towards them.
The take on the theme is definitely interesting! Hoping to hear an update to know if something like what I encountered was fixed, I really want to try the entry!!
The audio was really quiet while some sound effects are very inconsistently loud. I liked the idea, the graphics were nice and I enjoyed how you implemented the theme to the mechanics!
Had both the mage and the enemy die at he same time. Still won haha.
It's a very fun and interesting entry!
I liked the idea for the battle system (if a little confusing - needs more focus on what you can do, especially abilites, cam rotation,) And the pre battle choice is a neat idea too. Nice work!
Played the web version - though would have loved to play the rom :) Cute little game. A bit of a wierd bug when moving would make the player move even more to the input direction which made jumps frustrating. Also couldn't move right with bird (birb) at all.
Had fun playing this! I liked how you were getting your abilities taken just as often as you were getting them. It did feel a bit confusing sometimes to know what you actually have on as sometimes you are just flooded with abilities being given and taken in a short lapse of time, or in a scripted scenario such as the wind push.
The idea alone is really unique, and the implementation of the color apply system to your circle is really neat.
One suggestion - The main menu I saw had hover popups, though I only saw them by chance. Maybe find a way to make it clearer there is content to be seen at the hover buttons.
The take on the theme is one of the most interesting I've encountered. I wonder how it could be expanded upon. The graphics are really charming and the music is top notch (sick bass lines 🔥 dudes)!
Controls well and it feels very complete and I haven't encountered any bug at all it really is a great entry!!
Really solid entry, the aesthetics and music work really well. I liked the unique controls though they are a bit odd to use, only 4 directions to jump to when the pointing is on all cardinal directions. Is kinda weird but doesn't feel too clunky. The enemy attacking patterns and behavior were kinda odd to comprehend with the control scheme though and it was making it a bit messy.
But the core of the game is really awesome with very minor bugs and feels really great overall too!
Really cool take on the theme! The art style with the different emphasis on colors was really cool looking and the direction & music worked very well to set the mood for the game!
@arielle-stroman, great submission! The sprites & animations were nice and the music was really well made!
Suggestions: The 1st enemy you encounter - not quite clear what caused him to die or why (Time elapsed?) Also the 2nd enemy was really weird to fight against, you can't really maneuver around / above him and he sort of rushes you which you couldn't really do much to defend against (was like a weird DPS race in a mega man -esque game)
@lonewolfdev, this is such a well realized submission! I really enjoyed it from top to bottom.
The tutorial and instructions are absolutely top notch and are so vital to selling this premise. The detection grace period and functionality was really on point. Really liked the unique interactions to affect the routines.
The game itself is also quite elaborate and I really like how there is almost like a real schedule and duties to each entity in the facility. 5/5
Played on WebGL, Played a lot like katamari damacy, had fun! The music was barely functioning, kept freezing and continuing. I liked going through the scene, and it was not cumbersome to control the ball. Nice entry!
@ayxs, This was a really pleasant little game :) The idea is really fun, and as a fan of Point&Click adventure games, this was a great little demo of one for a game jam, the graphics were another level.
One minor suggestion - Quality of life touches on P&C games are really important and add a lot in my opinion. Even something as small as speeding up / skipping island transitions after seeing each one of the possible ones would have been nice.
Okay, this submission is so awesome. Loved the opening, the art, the music is absolute banging 🔥 and fits the asthetic and pacing well. The controls and intuition on what to do was slightly awkward.

This is a really nice submission man!!
Just requires some difficulty tweaking.
I thought personally it was really funny that putting on armor makes you faster and (essentially) lighter in weight haha.
The animations, sprites, music. All really great and the aesthetic works really well.
