What a weird and fun game! I felt I was having a fever dream which made it so different than other games. There is so much going on that I needed to think about. All of the minigames on the phone were really fun.
The graphics and mood are incredible with an interesting story to go with it. I like how there are different ways to achieve the ending and it was fun exploring to find all of them. For me the biggest pain point was the platforming, especially with the lights. Getting sucked into the lights is a neat idea but I often found it was just too hard to control and would often end up flying in the wrong direction or getting flung backward into the light before falling back to the ground. The jumping is also very difficult mostly due to the camera angle since I couldn't tell where my character was going to land. A minor note, I did manage to get out of the map boundary several times. Overall I had a good time and got both endings.
What a weird and super unique game. I actually played this one twice just because it was really fun! The art style is really well done. I liked the commercials and little jokes. They added to the game. Nice job!
How did you get such a great game in a hot potato challenge? These were super fun puzzles with interesting ideas. The presentation was unique and I really liked how it did not feel repetitive at any time. Amazing game! Loved it. Screenshot Router Wilds.png
Simple but fun management game. It does last a bit long at 10 minutes per round and combined with crashes, it can put you in the negatives which can be very hard to recover from. I also found the camera made it a bit too hard to see some of the later stations. The most fun was the tension of trying to manage the really long trains. Good work!
Great game with amazing graphics and music. One of my favourites! There are so many buttons but they all make sense and adds to the difficulty of managing everything which is very fun. It is very easy to accidentally let 2 lanes go at the same time, which causes crashes and ensues chaos as I panic trying to fix it. Also great Easter egg if you are feeling like trying to do the opposite of your job!
This game is really fun and super polished. This was one of my highlights of this jam. I can only think of one very minor thing, which does not detract from the game. It would be nice to have an undo button so you don't have to redo the whole level. This game is excellent in my opinion, especially since you had such a short time to get it this far.
Really fun speedrun game with a bit of a difficulty curve. The controls take a bit to get use to but work well once I got the hang of it. I would like a bit more feedback on if I hit Dracula or not as sometimes I was sure I hit him but ended up missing.
The only issue I has was accidently closing the game on the web version with CTRL+W but was still able to play from the arrow keys.
I actually went back a second time and managed to get 00:41:88 !Screenshot 2026-05-03 024312.png
This game was really fun! The controls took me a bit to figure out, but once I did I think they worked well enough for a game like this. I think it would be nice if there was a bit more order to the rotations and movement since there were a few times where I was just repeating the same action many times waiting for any bird to go to a specific place (I see this has already been changed in the post jam version). Overall I had a great time! Also, bird with knife is (funny) stressful.
I enjoyed the puzzle of triangulating the emitter and got to the end of the game. I did get a bit lost at first but once I figured it out it made sense. It would be nice if it was a bit more clear on where to go to get to the next level.
I really liked this game. It was really unique and very fun. One of the best games in my opinion! This would be great as a full sized game with more rules and minigames. Excellent work!!
Interesting game with a fun visual style. I would like if there was a way to finish the game along with some sounds.
This is a very unique game and quite difficult. It was fun trying to remember all of the commands and execute them quick to stay alive. I think it might be a bit hard to get going as the middle mushroom dies quickly if you don't get a bigger border fast. I did finish the game but only used the grow commands since I could grow faster than the mushrooms died and feeding them felt like I was wasting time that I could be growing. It kind of reminded me of Atari graphics, which was cool.
Really cute puzzle game with a fun mechanic. This could easily become a bigger game with more puzzles. Well done with the graphics - especially being a compo game! Screenshot.png
