Really really enjoyable! The respawn is a bit too long, but the gameplay is smooth, the art is minimalistic but pleasant, and the music is nice as well! Good work!

Really really enjoyable! The respawn is a bit too long, but the gameplay is smooth, the art is minimalistic but pleasant, and the music is nice as well! Good work!
Nice game! I like the art, and shredding through enemies with tons of bullets is very satisfying. One complaint is that the movement feels a bit slippery and fast, and it's hard to position in front of the ladybugs. Great game though!
Cool game! I really like the art, and the mechanics are pretty good, but at first I didn't realize I was dying. It's also just a touch unpolished.
Awesome! This game is super cute! I love the elemental puzzles, and there's quite a lot of depth! I also love the paper mario like graphics. However, I do think that the health mechanic is- a bit useless. The health doesn't do much for the game when you can't really die.
One of my favorite games of the jam. I love the brilliant design, the crunchy sound effects, and the stellar art! It's awesome that you made a 6 hour game experience in such a short time, with such a rich story! Great work!
All jokes aside, theres no link.
Cool idea! I like the coin arc, great graphics, realistic sound effects... great but simple game.
Keep up your end of the deal...
This is quite clearly one of your first games, but i'm glad you finished.
This game isn't a masterpiece, it didn't keep me immersed, but i'm glad that it exists solely because of the experience it gave you. You will learn so much from this experience, and hopefully you keep going and make better games. As a 12 year old myself, i'm always trying to learn, and I have some criticism to hopefully help you learn in the future.
1) The Controls need work. The newgrounds page scrolls when the arrow keys are pressed, but in the game itself, there is nothing to help the player out. Coyote time, which will allow you to jump shortly after leaving a platform, can be implemented in construct by simulating jump if you press the up arrow about 0.2 seconds after leaving a platform. The jump is also waaaay too high, and the platforming isn't engaging because of that.
2) The camera, as mentioned by @youthfulidealism, is not lerped, making it feel choppy and stiff.
3) No audio present. There are several great programs, such as sfxr, or chiptone. (https://sfbgames.itch.io/chiptone)
4) The graphics could use some work. Try devoting a bit more time to making them, but you don't actually have to make much art. You could have used a cube, which honestly would have looked better. Try to add squash and stretch, by making separate objects for the player graphics, and the player collision, and pin them together. Then, on certain calls, change the player graphics width and height accordingly.
But overall, even though this isn't the best game, i'm happy you were able to upload it, and finish on time. Great work.
A nice, relaxing mining game.
I was very impressed by the amount of visual polish, as well as the great music. The sound effects sounded great, and the gameplay was nice. I think that this game could use a bit more variety in gameplay, but I understand that this is a jam game. Great job on this entry.
Game is great! The gameplay feels great, with good graphics and good audio to back it. Great game!
Wow! Love this game. I made a very similar game (I saw your comment on mine π), but this was extremely nerve-wracking. I was swinging my mouse around, desperately trying to reveal my surroundings in such a dark space. This concept was extremely innovative, and the theme ties in well. The graphics look great, love the lighting effects! The audio could use a bit of work, but I understand the time limit was very restricting :). Great job on this game!
Wow... This game is gut-wrenchingly creepy!
I was cringing from the sound effects, because they were so horrifying. This truly is a surreal experience. The movement is super unique, with great gameplay. The graphics are simple but effective, with a lack of post-processing. Everything about this game is pretty much great. A bit too hard though.
Great job.
Nice game!
I think that the movement is probably what makes this game stand out most. It really feels fluid and smooth. The graphics look great, and the monsters are creepy. Audio is good, and the music is probably the best you've made.
A couple gripes: When walking off a ledge with tentacles on it, you die, which feels unforgiving and frustrating. Also, the game is hard. It could have been a bit easier, with less enemies and less tight passages.
Overall, I really like this game. Great art, music, and gameplay makes this one of the better entries in the jam.
I really like this randomly generated tower defense game.
In my opinion, the balancing could do with some work. Also, way too hard. I may have a bias against tower defense games in general, since I don't like them that much, but really good overall. I think that the graphics look great, and the music and audio sounds amazing as well.
Great game.
This game is amazing, especially considering you didn't even use a game engine.
I love the art style, and the music sounds really nice. The sound design is great for a jam game. One gripe is the controls, which can feel lacking at times. Especially the jump. I found myself missing platforms by just a tad bit, and the jump feels really short and lacking.
Overall really strong work.
HA! that title!
I love the way Beession impossible plays. It's a standard platformer with great controls, and great pixel art to go along with it.
Nice job!
Haha! This microphone concept is amazing!
I love how the microphone mechanic work, it was a delight to scream at tactfully! The graphics have a bubbly, cartoony feel to them. The lack of audio is acceptable, especially since your screaming the whole time π
Overall great entry!
I love this game, with the impressive addon of being with your own engine!
The Spartan Kick is inspired, if a bit weak, and the gunplay feels good. I love the music, and everything looks great and sounds great. I think the UI could be closer to the player, as @cammin said, but impressive game overall!
Interesting game, with good graphics and nice homemade music.
I like the core mechanic, and the feature of skins is really nice. However, I think it could have done with a bit more gameplay variety. It's not fun to hold left or right and spam space, and i think the concept just isn't strong enough.
This polished experience is great!
I love the amount of content, and the art is stellar to go along with it. I love how fleshed out this is, and how much you were able to do in such a short time.
One of the best games from the jam!
I loved the intensity of this game!
I found myself constantly saying "come on... dig faster..." under my breath while playing through this, which lends itself to close and fun moments. Collecting gems gives a fun challenge, while adding more pressure to do well. Great job with the graphics, although audio was lacking.
Overall amazing experience, great job making this game!
I love this game!
This experience is extremely polished, and fleshed out, with a few minor bugs that @branden-wilson and @sugarsugarsugar pointed out. Overall, the graphics are probably some of the best in the JAM, and looks great.
Great job finishing the creating this game.
Im not sure what to think here... the link is just... Memes...
Not sure where the game is, but uh... the cover art looks cool!
:3
This game feels very polished, and very fleshed out.
It's nice to see a precision platformer, especially in a game jam, with a really fleshed out. The graphics look simple but great, and fit very well. Hitboxes were unforgiving, which isn't what you want in a game such as this.
This is definitely a great entry in the jam, and im glad you made this. Top marks.
Dropping down the well was great, and the game feels fun. A bit too hard, though.
I love the Wolfenstein style graphics, but it makes decision making hard and frustrating. Overall, I like this game alot.
This game didn't fit the theme whatsoever, and also didn't have the greatest experience. The camera is way too zoomed in, without a way to zoom out, so you have to guess where the ball will land. It was frustrating to try to catch the balls. Also, it has no audio and the graphics are stiff and unmoving.
I love the WHEEEEEE! Sound effect! it was very funny and gave me a good chuckle. I like the mechanics, and enemies. Perhaps a bit more polish could do. Overall, very nice game!
I love the out of control nature of this game, and how chaotic it quickly becomes. Its a desperate struggle to keep the jackhammer in control, which lends itself to fun and hilarious gameplay. Love this game, but some things could have been polished out more, such as the physics, the art, and the sound.
This game was really good, and had a really good and funny concept behind it.
Hilarious game, with amazing art to go with it. I found myself chuckling over and over, and was impressed with the quality.
Really solid, with nice graphics and great level design. There's a slight offset with each tiles, which is uncomfortable, but overall the art looks nice. Great job on this game.
I love this game! The action is intense, and quickly swishing through rocks feels great.
Slimes and Sandwiches is a nerve-wracking Wolfenstein style fps game where your constantly looking over your shoulder. Love this game!
I like this game. However, the movement feels just a tad sluggish
Couldn't play the game on download.
I enjoyed this game, it had a really neat concept. I really like the concept of random conditions, but the gameplay felt just a bit lacking.
This game is really neat. I love the mechanic of having to dodge out of the way like a racing car. I would prefer if the fish was a little faster. Also, I didn't get the illusion that I was going deeper, more that the trash was coming up at me.
Fun concept, and cool game! I wish that it was a bit easier to know what was going on, and i also wish the player didn't fall offscreen. Other then that, great job!

Awesome fun game. The graphics were cute, and the audio was really nice as well. Just a perfect little jam game, and it fits the theme very well. Good job!

Very fun game! I like the pixel art style, and the music is nice too. The Leaderboard is a great feature. Nice game! Sometimes the dropping seems a bit inconsistent, and it's pretty hard. Good job on this entry though :)

Love the artstyle, and the gameplay is fun. Music is nice too.

I really love the art style! The rhythm combined with the movement was very neat. I think a cool idea could be having the rhythm keys mapped to the movement keys.
