CRAVE by AkirAssasin 2022-10-08T18:08:15Z

Hi, I came from the "3 Underrated Games" post!

This game was so cute!! The idea of an oblivious character who only wants to snack while everyone is trying to kill him is so charming, haha. I could totally see this being fleshed out into a whole story arc :) It was also fun going around seeing what different abilities I could get by "eating" other creatures; similar to Kirby in that sense! I found myself going back a few times to see what the different powers would be, haha.

In terms of feedback, I think a little bit more art / sound would've gone a long way! Maybe some character animations, background music; something to make the world feel more engaging. That being said, these are all minor concerns in the grand scheme of things.

Congratulations on making this in 72 hours :) Also if you could rate my game as well, that'd be amazing; any feedback would be much appreciate!

Sub-scured by infinitycore 2022-10-12T08:12:11Z

It's been a hot minute, but I'm from the "3 Underrated Games" post :)

Man, I kept playing to try to beat your high score but I only got up to three, haha! This was super cool. I saw a few comments say that it was too difficult but I disagree; I think it was just enough to make it fun & interesting. I really enjoyed navigating around the world you guys built & it was super satisfying to get better at steering every time I restarted the game. I also loved the way the submarine moved, the artistic direction (so cool how things phase in and out of clarity), and the sound. One suggestion would be to make the bombs a different color. Might make it ever so slightly easier to differentiate them against the background.

Otherwise, fantastic entry, congratulations :)

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but I wanted to plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D

Cook'n'Slash! by Nikolay Zapolnov 2022-10-05T17:29:35Z

This game is *awesome*. Running through the tomatoes and slashing at them in and of itself was enough to keep me entertained. I also love that this game makes you feel like you're getting better at it; I eventually developed a strategy of killing all the tomatoes, bringing the pieces by the fire, and then cooking. :)

My only suggestion would be to make it more immediately obvious that the pan's counter was going down. Although there was a big master timer at the top of the game, perhaps having one directly above the pan that only counts down from 10 would've been helpful! But in the grand scheme of building a game in 72 hours, I understand how that could've been a stretch goal.

Awesome entry!!!

Lastly -- and I hate to do this -- but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

Shutter Chaos by ColeSlaughter 2022-10-06T01:56:02Z

Hehe, this game is so funny, I loved it so much!! So goofy and fun. It's quite simple but it knows exactly what it is and does it perfectly. I have no feedback, honestly. For what it is, it's perfect!

Also – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

The First Fire by scottgoldsmith 2022-10-08T06:56:50Z

Hi, I came from the "3 Underrated Games" post! :)

Wow, I loved this game. Even though this is a tiny, pixel-art game, I actually felt shivers go down my spine the first few times I got eaten by the wolf. Later on, when I finally realized that you're supposed to stay near the fire, I felt very tense & nervous with the wolf staring right at me. In short, it's really amazing how effectively you've created mood with such a simple art style. My two main pieces of feedback:

1. The icons below the fire weren't very clear as to what they were. 2. Some kind of visual indication that you've over-fed the fire would've been great. Currently, it's not clear, and there wasn't a strong noticeable difference when I kept feeding the fire vs. when I kept it at a moderate level (which sort of defeats the purpose of that mechanic).

Lastly, not feedback but an idea: it would've been cool for the sun to "set" so that a few seconds before the night came, you could see the sky change color. I think it could've contributed to the mood while also giving players a small signal that they need to hurry up.

Otherwise, this was a fantastic entry. It's simple but very well-executed, and I'm so amazed, again, by the mood here. Congratulations :) Also, I'd really appreciate if you could play my game as well! Any feedback would be much appreciated.

The First Fire by scottgoldsmith 2022-10-08T06:57:57Z

Also, as I played the game more, I learned that it's good to keep a few pieces of wood in your pocket during the night to keep it going :) That was pretty cool.

Fatal Desolation by Lukas TAMAYO 2022-10-06T01:00:50Z

Mood and audio are absolutely a 5. This game creeped me *out*, and I mean that in the best way possible. I also loved how you guys interpreted the theme; it felt very cohesive with the world that you've built and didn't feel forced at all.

My main piece of feedback would be that the controls became a little frustrating as at some point, I was basically just a relatively slow ball bouncing inside of a room. More ability to control my movement would've been great.

Otherwise, this game is such a masterpiece in terms of art direction! Great entry!!

Love is Legal: Speed Dating For Criminals by Krasimir Balchev 2022-10-08T07:38:20Z

Hi, I came from the "3 Underrates Games post" :)

This game was very cute. Love the art style and the different facial expressions. The gameplay was super interesting as well; I love how you blended memory games and dating sims! I kept playing until I could go on a date with someone which is as good of a compliment as I could give any game dev (READ: I keep wanting to play your game).

In terms of feedback: 1. Maybe I'm just slow but I didn't really understand what the + and - signs meant. 2. I agree with a previous commenter that showing all response options would be nice so that the player isn't stressfully shifting through everything. 3. It took a few tries before I actually figured out what was going on so a more guided tutorial would've been really helpful.

All that being said, for having been made in 72 hours, this is a fantastic entry. Congratulations :) Also, I'd appreciate if you could rate my game as well! Any feedback would be much appreciated.

SALARYMEN CHALLENGE by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2022-10-05T17:59:43Z

Let me start off by saying that this game was so freaking funny. The dialogue, the characters -- I could play an entire game with just this salaryman character, haha.

My main pieces of feedback: (1) As other raters have noted, it wasn't immediately obvious that you were moving through 10 phases before getting to the boss. I think it's because the progress tracker looks like a health bar. (2) I think that the boss was probably a little too easy to beat! (3) It would've been cool to incorporate some sort of platforming element to make it more challenging / fun to get the items. But, considering that we only had 72 hours, I understand how this was probably way out-of-scope.

Otherwise, this game honestly made me crack a smile, and I really enjoyed the characters / dialogue. :)

Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

SALARYMEN CHALLENGE by ROBOWARRIOR1982 2022-10-05T18:37:25Z

@robowarrior1982 That makes this even more impressive!! Mad props to anyone who participates in Compo :)

The decasecond by Shakedimus 2022-10-08T06:14:01Z

Just played the game-- this is probably the most unique take on the theme I've seen so far! I can also see this being a really fun Jackbox game :)

My main piece of feedback is that the prompts weren't super clear. Prompts like "You're talking to someone who's afraid of spiders, and you want to scare them" were very straightforward & easy to understand. But prompts like "You have to do one thing for the rest of your life." weren't as clear; if the entire goal is to come up with fake facts, then this prompt doesn't actually invite me to do that. One person's answer to this question was "Every 10 seconds, I make a million dollars." That's not a fact but there was really no other way to answer that prompt. Not sure if I'm making sense, haha.

In any case, I understand the concept, and I think that this would be a really cool idea for a party game :) I would totally play something like this with friends. Great entry!

Base Clock by Malai 2022-10-12T07:36:42Z

Wow, this game is so far one of the best I've played so far. I loved how you applied the theme here. It's so cool how you're basically creating your own checkpoints in this game. I had to physically stop myself from playing because I had other things I had to get to, haha (couldn't make the jump for one of the orbs rip). I also loved your audio / sound effect choices; everything felt so bouncy, in the best way possible. I would totally play this if it were a more fleshed out game. One piece of feedback is to include a permanent UI element that lets you know how many orbs you have; at some point, I definitely forgot how many I had, haha.

In the grand scheme of things though, that's pretty minor, and this was a fabulous entry. Definitely deserves more ratings. Congratulations :)

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :)

Cursed Kingdom by Majadroid 2022-10-06T01:24:19Z

This game is so fun!! It's like chess but prettier, with cool sound effects, and a storyline, haha. I also really liked the "undo" button.

I agree with other commenters that spreading out the instructions more would've been cool. Additionally, I didn't quite understand how the square availability worked. There were many times where I expected to have a green square open after placing down a building but it wasn't. Those moments were a bit frustrating.

That being said, overall, I really enjoyed the experience; it's one of the only games I attempted to finish from beginning to end. Great job!!

Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

Starmony by bamberga 2022-10-05T17:13:33Z

This game was adorable! Shooting the stars out of the cannon was so satisfying. Sounds were also amazing. If I had to give one piece of feedback, it would be to think about limiting how many times the player can shoot the cannon. I was able to clear most of the levels by simply spamming the cannon and waiting! Although this in itself made for a fun experience (the pure chaos of it), I think it could've been a bit more challenging. :) Overall, this was a super awesome game!

Also, hate to ask but if you could give our game a rating, I'd really appreciate it. We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be wonderful! https://ldj.am/$303168 :)

10 Seconds To Annoyance by zimny11 2022-10-12T07:45:53Z

I've rated a lot of games so far, and this is one of the few that made me crack a big smile while playing-- and the first to do so before the game even started LOL. Love the intro screen, love (and also hate) the mute mechanic, platforming was annoyingly fun, and just the right amount of troll-y. Really solid entry. 5/5 in terms of humor, LOL. Congratulations on a great entry :)

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D

Every 10 seconds color will be changed by IzhVaryag 2022-10-06T01:08:06Z

Super cute game. :) Love the bunny jumping animation. And the blood splatter when you jump off was shocking to say the least, haha! I could see this game turning into a really cool musical game where each platform corresponds to a note in the song!

I agree with @gonzalol that hints on where the next platforms would've been great! Overall, it was a fun, simple game, and I enjoyed playing :)

Lastly – and I hate to do this – but I would really appreciate if you could rate my game (https://ldj.am/$303168 ). We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be awesome! :)

#1 Button Presser by Jvdwijk 2022-10-07T08:03:10Z

Wowow, game-ception, haha. Really interesting!! Admittedly, I wasn't that good at the asteroid game but this was still a really interesting entry :) Also, I love the voices. I think my only piece of feedback would be to switch the "shoot" mechanic to be a key, such as the enter key; it was a bit difficult switching back and forth between the mouse and the key. Otherwise, really unique entry!! Great job.

Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be wonderful.

Monkey Bu$iness by LiquidFunk 2022-10-07T08:19:32Z

This game is so charming! :) The buy / sell mechanism was really fun and trying to multi-task was surprisingly difficult. I also love the art for Don Aper and the music choices as well. My only piece of feedback is that sometimes that Z (Buy) button was pretty slow / delayed. Though, that might be because I was playing on browser? Not sure. In any case, this was a great entry. Congratulations :)

Lastly, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game as well! Any feedback would be very welcomehttps://ldj.am/$303168

@shaolin-dave This is such great feedback!! 1. Totally agree about the in-game instructions; we would've liked to do a more in-depth tutorial if we had the time. 2. I also agree about the salt mechanic (basically, if your salt level isn't at 100%, the chances that the ghost will spawn will slowly increase) in that it isn't immediately clear about what it's doing. 3. And wow, I didn't even think about the scripted experiences-- really good point. Thank you so much for the helpful feedback!!

Home R.I.P.airs by JoyKangpae 2022-10-08T18:22:06Z

@leorid Thank you for the feedback!! These are all valid points, especially the salt mechanic. We had it so that the percentage that the ghost appears increases as the salt meter goes down but, in reality, that meant that sometimes the ghost would spawn at, say, 75% salt level which feels pretty unintuitive. So I totally agree about that. All your other feedback was on-point; thank you for taking the time to play and review our game!

Home R.I.P.airs by JoyKangpae 2022-10-08T18:23:23Z

Sweet Seconds by Jag 2022-10-12T09:29:20Z

(It's been a hot minute but I'm from the "3 Underrated Games" post!)

It's 2:25 AM. I have work tomorrow. And I literally just stayed up all night to get to Level 10.

I have to say, this is one of the best games I've played so far. It's so, so fun and the way it starts off slow and chill then devolves into chaos is so perfect. When I finally completely Level 10, it felt like the back of my brain was melting but in the best way possible. Only a game with terrific art, sound, and game design would've compelled me to stay up for so long.

I also love all the little touches like the way the donuts bounce a little when you apply frosting on them. My only suggestion: for the last two levels, the music change was a bit jarring and almost a little creepy, haha. I kind of missed the original bg music. But in the grand scheme of things, that'd pretty minor; as it is, this was exceptional for a game jam. Congratulations. :)

Lastly, and I hate to do this, but just wanted to quickly plug my game for a rating as well (https://ldj.am/$303168). Any feedback would be appreciated as this was our first ever Ludum Dare. :D

Sweet Seconds by Jag 2022-10-12T09:32:16Z

Also, I'm? Pretty sure? I completed the last level? Because it said that I completed it on the window. But because it didn't say "Completed" on the menu and the window said "Upgrade Not Awarded", I'm not entirely sure. Please tell me: did I complete the game :,)

Office Madness by Cookie_CHR 2022-10-07T08:08:53Z

Haha, this game was so charming :) Love the "Hey" sound and how it was on beat with the BG music time to time. Simple but perfect for what it was. It's a great entry; congratulations :)

Also, I'd really appreciate if you could rate my game! :) Any feedback would be awesome.

Bobo's Happiness Factory by DzejPi 2022-10-07T04:22:25Z

Wow, this game was so cool. I think the wrapping mechanic was pretty interesting; I actually discovered after a while that it's easier to do with my trackpad, haha! It was also so creepy (in a good way) to see the clown's face go from happy to angry; I was half expecting some super creepy / scary jumpscare to happen when I lost. In that way, I think the mood was really awesome.

My only piece of feedback: Because I was so focused on not pissing off the clown, I didn't end up looking at any of the dialogue; my eyes were primarily focused in the top-center of the screen because that's where the wrapping took place, and it would've taken too much time / effort to keep shifting my eyes down. To ensure that players are reading the commentary, perhaps, (1) the dialogue box could be replaced to the top-left instead (2) there could be a speech bubble above the clown's head.

In the grand scheme of things, pretty minor concerns :) Amazing game!!

Also, and I hate to do this, but I'd appreciate if you could rate my game as well! :) https://ldj.am/$303168 It's our first ever Ludum Dare, and we want to get all the feedback / ratings we can get so that we can continue to improve. Any help would be great! :)

Paper Trails by smubear 2022-10-05T16:58:28Z

Wow, I absolutely adore the graphics & the portraits. So good. The dialogue was also so entertaining, and I love how it was incorporated into the gameplay. If I had to make one suggestion: I struggled quite with the mechanics, particularly when I would latch onto a platform and was trying to swing onto it. I think adding the ability to jump while attached would've made the experience more enjoyable and less frustrating. Otherwise, this was such a cool game, and I love how you used real pictures to create it.

Lastly, I would really appreciate if you could give our game a rate. We currently also have less than 20 ratings so any help would be wonderful. :) Here's the link: https://ldj.am/$303168

Fast Food In10sifies by Grau 2022-10-06T02:03:45Z

Honestly, this might be one of my favorite games of the jam. I can't believe it isn't higher up in the rankings right now. It's so much fun (I kept playing until I got to 100, haha). My one piece of feedback is that it doesn't display any sort of score / performance at the end. Simply being able to see how many burgers I was able to get through at the end would've been really motivating / cool / kept me coming back. Oh, also, I struggled to find peperoni :,) I was expecting to find the red, cured meat not the peppers, haha.

Otherwise, I adore this game and really hope it gets more visibility.

Another one bites the dust by AlexYam 2022-10-05T17:38:56Z

Wow, this game is awesome. You've made me so curious about the lore of this character & world now! I also love your music choices and how the music swells at some point. My main pieces of feedback: (1) the jump mechanic was a bit iffy. I often couldn't make it onto a platform which felt a bit frustrating (2) On the far right of the map, being able to walk into it past the wall made it seem like there was another section.

Otherwise, this was an awesome game. :)

Boood night by MrHumannn 2022-10-07T07:54:51Z

This game is so cute!! I love the art style so much, and the ghost's walking animation made me chuckle. I like how you used the 10 seconds theme; it created an element of suspense that made it really fun. Also, the music / SFX choices were pretty good. In terms of constructive feedback, I agree with a lot of comments by shumarie!

Otherwise, great entry :) Congratulations.

10s To Decide by Rob6566 2022-10-12T07:16:21Z

Hey! :) It's been a while but am from the "3 Underrated Games" post.

This game is awesome, especially for a first game jam. Conceptually, everything is there, and I think it's actually really impressive how it was still fun to play despite being relatively low-fid. One suggestion I'd give is to break down the tutorial a little bit more (show tooltips / instructions as player plays the game); we struggled with this in our game, too, haha.

In any case, this was awesome. Congratulations :) Thanks again for rating my game.

DECAPHASE by Grif_in 2022-10-08T06:38:21Z

Hi, I came from the 3 Underrated Games post! :)

Wow, this game was so cool. Love the graphics and the music; there's a really high degree of polish to this. As other commenters have noted, this is one of those games that you keep coming back to again and again so you can try and get a higher level each time. That's, in my opinion, a mark of a well-made game, especially for a game jam.

In terms of feedback: 1. I struggled seemingly more than other commenters to figure out how the UI works; I think if the GUI were a lot bigger, it would've been easier to notice & understand. I also think that the size that it is now could potentially bring up accessibility concerns. 2. I agree with a lot of trouv's comments about making it more clear how exactly the level / difficulty is scaling.

Otherwise, wonderful entry. Congratulations :)

The Search for The Golden Crown Plant by DuzzOnDrums 2023-01-11T10:17:52Z

this game is so, so cute!! the voice acting and art were top tier >>> i'd honestly love to see an entire game in this style. i think the idea of a gardening game is really cool, and i played for a while trying to get the golden crown plant but unfortunately, i don't have a green thumb in either real life or in games, haha. i think this game would've benefitted from a book that records new discoveries (e.g. X + Y = Z) so that the player can keep better track of hybrid flower combinations. otherwise, it becomes a sort of memory game rather than allowing the player to really experiment. all in all, a great game, certainly the cutest one :) congrats to you and your son!

It was all for the Tuna by rosypenguin 2023-01-10T06:01:20Z

Love the graphics and the mechanic! That being said, I didn't get the map upgrade after I hit 10 small fish. Unfortunately, without a map, the game quickly loses its fun as I have no idea where I'm going. I also did find an island at some point and tried to approach it by targeting it but nothing happened so I'm not sure if that may have been a bug. Otherwise, this was such a great entry, and I think with some small bug fixes / improvements, it could be an amazing game.

Tiny FarmLand by Roalinn 2023-01-10T23:20:01Z

this game was so fun!! really cool concept and kept me on my toes the entire time :) i could totally see this becoming a fun party game. similarly to cybek, the audio cut out for me after the first run, not sure if that's a bug but that was p much the only issue i ever experienced. in terms of the game's balance, i would've loved to play for longer but the game is actually p difficult! having just one worm, having items auto-collect, bread auto-feed, or decreasing the spawn rate of the slimes would've helped. like someone else said, this game had a lot of polish, and if i didn't know, i would've thought it was a non-game jam gam. congrats!

Bloopy by SvenErik 2023-01-10T20:20:13Z

love the pixels and the overall mood / ambiance that was created! i had to look at the cheat sheet but once i did, i got really into the game :) i thought the loop was super solid and the concept was fresh. moving around the world also felt fluid. there were a few humans that couldn't be put into the recycler, and i found that once my energy dipped below 15%, i was stuck in a loop where i had to keep getting batteries because otherwise i would die so i do think that that could be improved. i think a playthrough tutorial would've been really cool, too but i understand how those things tend to be de-prioritized during a jam. overall a really solid entry- congratulations!

For Whom the Baa Tolls by boddhilesha 2023-01-10T20:43:26Z

the art for this game is *gorgeous*! i thought the concept was also interesting and unique. i agree that something like dash or being able to more significantly slow down the time by which spirits disappear would've been helpful; it became impossible to manage all the spirits pretty quickly. otherwise, this was a cool game, congrats!

Doki Doki Ninjin by ChevalBancal 2023-01-10T06:48:40Z

i love this game!!! :D the art is super cute and moving around the world felt very fluid. i really like the idea of a bunny that harvests special items to clear obstacles in a platformer. i also love the little side quests you can do and the fact that there are golden carrots. i think my only feedback would to make the golden carrots more visually distinct than the normal carrots when they're in the ground! i found myself digging up every single carrot to find a golden carrot which got tedious after a while.

i also found a bug; in the second level, inside the cave where you're introduced to the bomb tomato mechanic, if you run into the wooden wall with the bomb, the character is stuck in the arms up (holding an item) position and i'm unable to jump.

otherwise, this was such a solid entry- congrats!! would appreciate your feedback on our game as well :)

Harvest Festival 64 by Warrrkus 2023-01-11T09:49:18Z

wow i loved that. creepy-cute games are always so fun and this game really hit the nail on the head with the vibes. i'm so curious about the body in the ocean?! if this were a more fully fleshed out game with a plot, i'd honestly buy it. love the slightly-off, uncanny valley animal crossing aesthetics too. great job!

Necrotic Harvest by TheJookerful 2023-01-10T07:10:01Z

this game was so fun!!! it took me a practice round to understood how to play, and once i did, i got superrr into it. queue'ing up the actions and watching anubis execute them was really satisfying. it was also cool that there is a strategy to this game that you discover after a few rounds. i just wish the game was longer or that there was an endless mode because i think i could literally play this for hours, haha. great entry!! would appreciate your feedback on our game as well :)

Harvestigator: An IRS Tax Auditing Game by crow_seeds 2023-01-10T06:23:20Z

the voice acting 😭 i can tell that this game was a work of passion :,) hilarious voice acting / writing aside, i thought the game design was pretty solid and enjoyable. thank u for this amazing entry. would appreciate your feedback on our game as well :)

Harvest Skin by mikyokyuji 2023-01-10T06:37:59Z

i would've never in my entire life have thought of a fish-harvesting-skin game for a "harvest" themed game jam 😭 very creative and unique for sure, haha. honestly can't think of much to improve; it's a simple, quirky game. would appreciate your feedback on our game as well!

Rabbit Harvest by KlinsmannHengles 2023-01-10T06:34:01Z

loved the vibes <3 i really love this style of games (cute pixels, cozy vibes, etc.,), and if this were to ever be developed into a fully-fleshed title, i would totally play. would appreciate your feedback on our game as well :)

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-10T19:33:34Z

@miyukiew Glad you liked the vibes! :) You can rotate the pieces by using Z/X. Unfortunately, there wasn't much time to implement a tutorial during the jam ;-;

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-11T01:46:20Z

@thejookerful thank you so much for your kind words! :)

quick question, we actually added a pop-up showing the controls for the game (along with how to rotate the pieces) that appears before the first level of the game (look at picture). were you able to see it? if not, i'll have to let our developer know.

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-11T09:11:28Z

@sean-esopenko popular opinion seems to be that level 5 is the hardest level. we're so flattered you'd want to come back and try again :)

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-11T22:57:21Z

@karlo5o thank you for your kind words! :) we created the levels ourselves. we created an "answer key" by assembling the puzzle pieces on a grid. for certain levels, we made them more difficult by placing certain pieces in very specific locations and utilizing the more awkward/big puzzle pieces. glad you enjoyed!

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-12T23:39:54Z

@bcmpinc that's the strategy that i use as well! glad you enjoyed. :)

Bearly Fitting by jamdong15 2023-01-12T23:41:06Z

@peachtreeoath actually, we had a few people who straight up couldn't solve a level and gave up so perhaps you're better at puzzles than you're giving yourself credit for :D

nut another harvest story by WhaleJam 2023-01-10T06:29:40Z

loved this :) the art style was so pretty and reminded me of the illustrated books i used to read as a kid! not sure if this game was made in twine but if it was, it was also cool to see that engine being used. for a game jam, i almost never see games like this so this was a very unique, sweet, and simple game to play. would appreciate your feedback on our game as well!

Calorie Crunch by Sean Esopenko 2023-01-10T20:35:20Z

this was such a cute game! :) loved the puzzling aspect of the recipe. i discovered a strategy where you click on another ingredient immediately after harvesting it. that way, a toxic barrel won't grow. that was interesting because i had to plan ahead and figure out what ingredients i needed more of! i think that the ability to remove ingredients off your plate would've been nice but otherwise, i really enjoyed it :) congrats!

TurnUp by bcmpinc 2023-01-10T06:57:36Z

really cute game. with these types of games, it's so important that the gameplay is deeply satisfying, which this game definitely is. i loved watching the turnips grow; the sparkles when they finished was the best dopamine hit :D one piece of feedback would be to allow the player to move their builds after they make it and be able to pick where things go.

otherwise, simple game that was surprisingly addicting :) would appreciate your feedback on our game as well!
