Surprisingly addictive. My husband noticed what I was doing, saw the game, and immediately wanted to try too. I really like the art, and found the image of only your runner running off the screen (as well as the sound effect) when you jump the gun quite entertaining. I'm impressed that you made a leaderboard as well, and enjoyed making my way up to 6th.
One of my favorite audio tracks I've heard this LD. Matches the vibe really well! It wasn't clear what (if anything?) the bombs did. I got the good ending, but as far as I could tell it was random what items I dug up. Overall I enjoyed the vibe but the gameplay loop could use some more refining to enhance the fun.
Cool vibe! I see you didn't include audio in your categories, but that buzzer sound was a great choice. I agree with another commenter that ultimately it seemed more efficient to just look for sideways boxes verses using the signal, but I enjoyed the gameplay.
This is a very clever concept, and well executed. I enjoyed going through each scenario multiple times to get multiple endings!
I died just before the tower, so I guess no aid for us. Really well done here, I love the art, and balancing the three types of troops while also moving around within the columns to make certain cards synergize was something I haven't seen before. Good work!
This game looks absolutely gorgeous... unfortunately I couldn't get the game to "start fishing." The mouse didn't seem to work at all, and though I could select channels with 1,2,3,4, pressing the spacebar would just cause the reel to jiggle a bit. I wasn't able to make progress.
This game has a very spooky vibe. I like that you gradually uncover abilities as you find things.
Cool graphics, and the gameplay works well.
Good puzzle design is so tough to pull off in a game jam because it benefits so much from playtesting, but I thought these puzzles were excellent! Very challenging, but not impossible. I do agree with a previous comment that an undo button would go a long way to reducing frustration in long levels. Playing as a robot vacuum is a really cute idea and I thought the art was charming. Great job on this one.
I played for around 30 minutes and visited three islands. I'm intrigued by the lore. I wanna open those doors! I honestly might come back to this at some point to see if I can figure out more, though the mechanics of the game were a bit of a hinderance... I probably spent 5 minutes just trying to get off the boat at the tree island (the "unstuck" button was useful more than once). I also wish the walking and boating speeds were faster, though if the boating speed was too fast I suppose it would defeat the purpose of the signals.
Anyway, a very impressive 3D world for the time we had. Good work!
This was such a cool game. Piecing together the story line scratched the same itch as some of my all time favorite puzzle games. The art style is very cool and the use of color to track different parties was clever. Genuinely loved it, no notes. Amazing job.
Cool little game! I enjoyed the theming and art style. It seems like if you click right at the start you take a picture that is always rated excellent? (Or there is something about the rating system I don't understand...).
The art in this is so excellent, and I liked puzzling out how to extract each food item!
I agree with the the previous commenter that the parkour could use more forgiving hitboxes (and in the first parkour section I wasn't even totally sure I was supposed to be parkouring), but I really liked the style and vibes overall, particularly the sound effects! I did finish the game--it took me 19 minutes.

The Postman by Wolforce 2026-10-29T01:50:42Z ♥ 0
Cute game, very much in the cozy vein. I could not find 1 Library or the Little Family Hamlet (though I see from other comments they were out there and I just missed them). I liked the addition of the quests, though a way to mark the map would have been helpful to keep track of where different locations were. Upgrading your character with shoes, etc feels good. Well done!
Granny's Tea & Tats by ruthiepee 2026-10-29T01:08:43Z ♥ 0
Went in very confident and then laughed aloud at the reveal of the shaky granny hand I had to work with. Cute and fun! I will say it's a bit unusual that you can tattoo off of the people, or onto their clothing, but I tried a few other things that often break scoring in games like this (ex. coloring in the whole screen) and you seem to have thought of them and foiled me! Best I could do was a 95%.
Wake Me Up Before You Pogo by Papaver 2026-10-29T00:55:54Z ♥ 0
I crashed out on level 4 (too hard for me!) but had fun giving it a good try! It's an interesting challenge to balance your height and your rotation and the jumps feel really good. The 1950s theme was super fun too, and I liked the character and her reactions to crashing, doing a loop, etc. Well done!
The Basilisk by ImmanentDeath 2026-10-29T00:41:48Z ♥ 0
The art style of this was extremely cool, and it was fun to find what felt like secrets, though in general it would be nice to have more differentiation between background and foreground elements. The set up of the ending seemed interesting, but I was just kind of confused when I lost control of my character and it played that final cutscene. Maybe a bit of a zoom or significant change in the sound would make it clear the player isn't meant to be in control any more. Anyway, the controls felt pretty good and the vibes were excellent. Good work!

This game is so funny! Your full voice acting is a delight, especially "yoink" and the acapella group (the boss fight song had me laughing out loud, and then a great pay off when the boss is annoyed that his singers are not there). The gameplay of collecting title cards instead of items was really clever, and you introduce it really well at the start. The art was excellent. This might be the most fun I've ever had with a LD game. I applaud you!

You got a laugh from me right at the start with "hark, tis loading." Really liked the humor here. The game play was stressful! I got a final score of 1981 by spamming a few incorrect patterns at the end of day three to just get something out there. The Queen wasn't happy with me but she took it and I passed, whew! Was the palette in endless mode meant to change the color of my design? That didn't seem to be working for me. Also the audio was quite glitchy throughout and would freeze/jitter a fair bit. Otherwise a great, creative game. Well done!
Janitorial duties by duudel 2026-10-28T04:35:02Z ♥ 1
I like the idea of the old man janitor, and I'm always down for a sokoban. The text went by a bit fast so I wasn't exactly sure what was happening the first time through. I agree with another commenter that the sound effects got to be a bit much. I like your concept of interconnected puzzles. I hope you can grow your solid foundation here into something more!
Broken, Repair! by dagon 2026-10-28T04:24:03Z ♥ 0
Nice little gameplay loop here! I like how the mechanics were gradually introduced at the beginning--seeing the game grow in scope was exciting. Also very addicting to get to the point where I could afford more expensive parts and I was making heaps of money. The ending got a laugh from me. Good fun! Maybe would be cool to add something to purchase that translates the morse code? I translated the first one but didn't feel like putting in the effort after that.
