ZombieDefense by japes 2022-04-11T14:51:00Z

Great game! Love it! No matter what I do however and even with figuring out that I can move my guys in shelter and maxing out my shooting stats - I couldnt survive past the 6th night :/ I also see from comments that you could find other people, but I never managed to have that event, unfortunately. It would be great if you would develop it with ability and events to meet other groups, hire or gather more capsule humans and maybe expand your shelter in the future? That would be really dope! Love the simple aesthetics of it + audio and mechanics are phenomenal! I think its my favorite game in this jam so far and its like the 35th Ive rated so far? Great work, keep it up! :D

Bullets For Hell by davision 2022-04-05T15:07:55Z

Really fun game, ended up with 23 guns at once which was ridicolous xD Very well use of Unreal, I dont think many other engines could keep up well with that amount of mayhem and effects on screen :D Great work!

Bubbles by vidarn 2022-04-08T20:19:41Z

Really fun game! I also couldnt find the fish that Ian missed so I also think that may be a call to put it in more suitable place :D I really enjoyed controls and graphics which were soothing as the game itself. I really liked it. I would only add some audio in the future and option to read about the fish and corals found. I dont know if there is end to this game, cause I couldnt find that one fish, but other than that there is no point other than collecting if you cant find out anything about the fishes other than their appearance, but seeing how you wrote it all in such a short time its only a suggestion from me. I had fun with this one :) Very relaxing. Great work!

Like Rabbits by ruthiepee 2022-04-09T13:29:05Z

Really funny idea and great execution for the theme! Great work! :D

Earworm Jam by ursagames 2022-04-05T15:24:10Z

This is perfect and hilarious at the same time xD Very fun game, great work! That music is everything <3

Catronaut by fatPenguin 2022-04-05T09:49:45Z

Great audio and visuals! Fun mechanic and smooth animations. Really enjoyed it :) It was a bit too hard for me, maybe some more testing and balancing would be nice, with all the sliding and amount of oxygen it takes too many attempts to get to third oxygen tank and you have to already double jump in the air to get to certain moving platforms just to make it briefly if they are above you. If you make bad move - you immedieately are going to die after a second tank, so I would maybe make checkpoints, or test it a bit more to make it easier at the beginning? Still, very fun game overall, again, audio, visuals, animations and gameplay is all really well done :)

Sorcery's End by James Dunlap 2022-04-11T13:44:41Z

Wow! This must have taken a lot of work! Things I love -> graphics (bugs are really cute and I like low poly designs). Mechanics - really smooth roaming around the map, I really liked it, cool idea with hexagon shape of the tiles, really liked the diversification of each wave, every one was a bit different, different pattern, different enemies. Audio -> also reminds me of old games, but it mostly just works, which is fine. Overall great game! :) My feedback -> I had to search at the start for a base and get a hang of controls before I found it. Would be nice to include 'skip' button, when you are done putting the towers up. With each wave I was done like 20-30 seconds before the next wave begun, so it would be nice to speed that process up. Also -> very important -> enemy description. At first I thought it was only my mines exploding, I didnt realise until wave 7 that purple beetles destroy my towers (also I didnt understand how they did that, towers in near proximity of them just seemed to blow up). Also I would test it more, the game seems really well balanced as a gamejam game, but other than that it still needs a lot of work - but its worth it, the game is already really addicting and reminding me of lot of good things in similiar titles. Keep up the great work! :D

MOTH by Beefsock 2022-04-05T01:21:02Z

For half a minute I thought it was 2D game and couldnt understand controls xD I really enjoyed the graphics. Simple, fast, but really enjoyable. Fun concept.

You Will Die by cdunham 2022-04-11T14:08:57Z

I really liked it! Looks like a beggining to a fun game! More info would be nice, as to where lead the villagers? As of now I lead them to cracked stone gate and waited for dragon that didnt come xD But the mechanics are here, they are nice. Villagers could be a tiny bit quicker, but in general I like the mechanic with leading them, speaking to them and so on. Floor tiles are to be fixed, but the graphics are nice overall. It shows that you ran out of time on some things, but in general it looks like a start of really fun project to develop further! You have the basics set, just add quests, visuals to enemies with health bars and attacks and it could be a really fun game! As of now its all really cool, but you dont have too much to do :) Keep up the great work! :D

Priestess of Larak by Alex Mulkerrin 2022-04-09T13:12:18Z

I really enjoyed it! It has a lot of text, but I think it's a good thing -> reminds me fondly of older paragraph based games where based on your decisions you get different story. I would only improve visuals and make more intuitive UI. Other than that its fun game! Great work! :)

Dating under the Comet by Joscco 2022-04-05T10:14:48Z

Really fun and inventive game, cool audio, great and clever mechanics and dont even make me start about the graphics -> everything about this game is great :) I also really love the message of it. I only got to third generation though xD I played too much into lazy partners who fell in love too easily just by recieving expensive gifts and massages. Maybe thats why that family tree didnt last for very long, all of them were smart, but lazy in the end xD

Get Served by Bentekiller 2022-04-11T14:20:09Z

I really liked it! Art, audio, mechanics - its all great! The only thing I would tweak is level design. Level 1 was fun, but on level 2 its still easy with only 2 'sparks' aimed directly at you, but you get to over 200 degrees and you are still not ready? Its a bit too long for this difficulty, it gets boring with too much time. Maybe add some obstacles, shorter time to be done, yet more challenging levels? You could develop it in many different ways and its clearly worth it. With right level design this could get addicting really fast :) Great work! :D

OBRUTA by Dmitry Kaidash 2022-04-05T11:14:35Z

I love everything about this, the graphics, mechanics, smoothness of controls, its all great! I thought at first the world was generating infinetely with that nice looking blur in the distance :D Could be a nice beggining of a larger project with chapters of perhaps fighting off some actual enemies and then in other levels trying to avoid and stop decay of the world? Just imagining what it could potentially become in the future :) The basics are here and are great - I would only add more and more diverse content from now on if you are going to work on it in the future :) Fun game and great to just look at!

Message in a Bottle by hechi 2022-04-05T16:22:58Z

I love this concept, great looking game, simple, fun and very inspiring! Great work! :D

Domotichaos by ZOMBIEBUST3R 2022-04-05T09:22:22Z

2022-04-05 (12).png

I really wanted to beat the guy above xD I was close though :D Real fun game, smooth controls, nice cute graphics and funny theme.

Neon Meltdown by Milan8890 2022-04-05T14:20:13Z

I really liked it :D Didnt get as far with few attempts, its quite hard to keep up, if that was the goal, then it works, but the movement of enemies is sometimes hard to predict, they seem to not be consistent, they are getting sometimes faster the closer they are, I think it looks like LookAt function? Cause it would explain, why the ships dont slow down at all while trying to rotate and aim into you (they move with a bit different psychics than player - they dont slide, which makes them a bit too hard to predict). Other than that its really fun to manuveur with sliding ship, if enemies did the same it would be interesting. Graphics are simple, but enjoyable. I would try to tweak a bit difficulty in early stage, if that is 'very easy', then I fear of what is in the end of the game :D Really enjoyable game overall though, great work!

Rewind by Retrisma 2022-04-05T15:20:38Z

Im not very musical person, so it was a bit hard for me, but I got it pretty quick knowing controls. Interesting game, I like it!

March of the Mega-Machines by Arttu Halonen 2022-04-11T14:30:18Z

I really love good tower defense game and you have everything, that is usually missing in them on gamejams - range of towers, selection of towers, upgrades (!), fun, yet simple neon visuals that are clear to read (which one is upgraded with which upgrade). Its all really really good! Only thing I would tweak to make it more fun -> add more diverse enemies. The ones with shields are great idea, but ones that would be easier to kill, but much quicker would also be great to diversify it more. Maybe develop it further to include different levels and not only endless one(I know its for the theme, but it would be a shame to not put more content into this game, its so well made)? Keep up the great work! :D

9 Turns to Launch by mlkvr 2022-04-05T14:31:56Z

Really fun game! :) I want more levels to beat! My only criticism is graphics - sometimes it was hard to distinguish between 'pawn' and 'horse' figures as they are both tiny soldiers, just one holding bazooka. Maybe some more expressive pose would make him more recognisable on the chess-battlefield?

The Great Filter by T C 2022-04-09T13:20:16Z

Really fun game! Better tutorial and UI design is all this game needs! Great work! :)

Tactical Ghosts: The Impification by SnowyCocoon 2022-04-05T12:07:12Z

Fast and fun! It is very playable and smooth which I really like, also the graphics are nice. There are too many repeats of the same pattern though. It gives nice and easy boost to your time, but becomes irritating when you expect the same easy 'two-click to win' pattern too often just then to be given out of knowhere 'beat 4 enemies on 45 degree angle' pattern during the remaining time xD I would suggest more natural progression of difficulty and tweaking the game difficulty that way to be more rewarding. Now the difficulty level is jumping all over the place, which is sometimes irritating. The game is still very fun though, dont get me wrong. I had much fun playing it :)

Brian Is Burning by zappablamma 2022-04-05T16:12:58Z

Isaac-like map and concept, but with fun tactical twist. I like it very much, great work!

Take the exam by Zef1r 2022-04-05T10:04:08Z

Really fun game, spent almost too much time in it testing out all the different bonuses and getting better at throwing books during exam :D Really fun mechanic and cool graphics. I would only give criticism to rewarding player, currently as far as I see there is no goal in the game, no ending, also bonuses are working only per one 'exam', so there is no permanent progression for the player apart from money gathered that can be only spent on more one-time bonuses. I would give some permanent skills for the player to buy perhaps - prices of bonuses dont justify what you get for buying them, if they were cheaper and permanent skills were of higher price? That game could get addicting very fast xD

Take the exam by Zef1r 2022-04-05T10:27:44Z

@zef1r I figured it was time related :) In the end in gamejams there is usually lack of proper game testing due to time restrictions. Most of us suffer due to that :D So of course, even knowing that, I want to give proper feedback, cause your game is very fun and if I didnt give any criticsm from things I saw could have been improved, you would potentially could not make this game any better in the future and it would be a shame, cause it has potential :) Again - it looks like a beggining to a very fun and addicting game. Some more time and game testing + added skills, perhaps other mini-games in the future involving other subjects? :) Only making suggestions :D Its a really fun game!

The Hero (...Always Wins) by Link270 2022-04-05T16:32:04Z

Really fun game! Love the funny audio and visuals, gameplay is also smooth and enjoyable. I would give some animations to shooting towers, cause you can only see they deal damage by looking at players health. Also maybe more enemies / players / heroes going out at the same time but with less health to make it more interesting? Other than that its really fun. Great work! :D

Bear’s Flower by Shumarie 2022-04-05T01:30:13Z

Looks like a beggining of a fun project :) I like the controls, and moving further and closer with W and S keys. The obvious things - you can see blue screen behind the painted background and you can go out of the screen and there is not much to do. I really liked the graphics though.

Desert Oasis by Janku 2022-04-05T10:38:35Z

Thank You all for playing :) Just so you know - Im reading and appreciate all the comments. I know the game is confusing at first, I had to pick my battles, I figured after a minute in the game people will get basic understanding of it, but just for clearing things up I also added some instructions to page. Again, thank You very much for all the comments and useful feedback :)

The Inevtiable End by StrictPeak 2022-04-05T16:07:59Z

Wow! It looks like you are trying to make Homeworld 3, before the original one comes out and I see you taking the lead pretty soon if you keep up with this kind of work :D Great visuals and suprisingly smooth gameplay! Great work!

14 Days In Quarantine by AndyZYZ 2022-04-05T14:05:24Z

I got to day 15 xD Really fun and very addicting game, I like the system. I had a bug only one time during day 4, or 5, when I had enough gold but couldnt buy specific item for that amount. Other than that it has great potential if you develop it more. I usually dont play card games like that so I dont know what to advise here specifically, but I like the growing difficulty each day and need to upgrade your equipment, it is slightly addicting :D Great work!

KEEP THE POWER by caudatecoder 2022-04-11T14:39:33Z

Wow! I really liked the message and text in the game and how being a ruthless dictator is basically 'delaying the inevitable' and I was wondering if it was just really clever and funny view of dictatorship as a subject, but also a comment of recent events and then when I read the end game text - respect! Great game! The best message out of all games Ive played during this jam, very funny, but also smart and in the end and with heart. The only thing I would fix is the speed of the upcoming reporters and police officers. I really liked and didnt expect decision making while playing - great idea to make simple game that much more interesting, than just balancing resources! Keep up the great work & stand with Ukraine! <3

Bitboy by Proxy-Games 2022-04-11T09:18:35Z

Very interesting game, subverting expectations in fun way! Great work :D

I Would Like to Thank the Academy by sprunth 2022-04-11T16:08:14Z

Very interesting and funny game! What I thought could use some improving is mostly audio. Other than that its quite enjoyable game. Great work! :)

Elder Rang by OllieOA 2022-04-05T12:41:01Z

Just the intro screen made me laugh way too much with intense music and more missed calls coming up xD I loved the game, indeed it is very stress inducing and funny. It is very simple concept, yet works very effectively and I assume that it works exactly how you wanted it to. Great work! Im weirdly inspired by how well this game works <3

Out of Fuel! by Fnessa 2022-04-05T01:15:02Z

Really enjoyed it :) Smooth movement, easy controls and most importantly fun to play! I also really like the cute concept with robot rushing to get some fuel before he runs out of time. Only thing I would work on is graphics, sometimes I had to think about how to move around certain object, cause I couldnt quite tell what obstacle was in front of me but it still works in the end. It has potential :)

U.A.D.S - Untitled Asteroid Defence Simulator by Jacek_s0905 2022-04-11T13:19:20Z

Loved it! Although it doesnt really fit as to 'delay the inevitable' with option to actually prevent the disaster by evacuating everyone (which I did, satisfying :D) -> I would actually see this as a great beggining to a cool project. Just add more demanding timer to make it more of a challenge, now it seems like a display of mechanics without any challenge at all, but its still really satysfing to just build. Add challenge, more content and this could be really great game in the end that people will come back to! Great work! :D

Gobling Game by lolopupka 2022-04-05T11:06:39Z

It seems like a beggining of a fun project, although it is confusing at first. Maybe add simple tutorial, or just add instructions in game's description on itch.io and ludum dare pages? I dont know if you are suppose to get out of the main room, but I didnt manage to do so with score of 54 on a bike? Graphics are really cool though.

Hold The Line by Griggy 2022-04-05T15:36:06Z

Great game! I lasted 4 minutes but screwed myself in first moment by having too much fun spawning troops xD I really liked the design and concept! It could work really well with multiple levels and different waves, more enemies perhaps (more combinations)? It could do really well with just a bit more content if you develop it in the future! It is really fun game! Also love the visuals and character designs! Great work! :D

MooshiMooshi by AnonymousPanda 2022-04-11T13:56:59Z

Really liked the game! Simple, but fun and effective! The "inevitable" was funny in the end xD As a first game its a great entry! With stretching spheres like that though colliders wont always be working like you want them too. You probably used boxes, or mesh colliders with the stretched ones? In the end I really appreciated smooth controls, fun colors and visuals in general. It was a good choice for such game, reminded me of Icy Tower xD You could easily expand it, maybe add more depended on music design to create some fun sounds - jumping to beat perhaps? Just an idea :) Great work! :D

Out of blood by Conjure ETS 2022-04-05T14:58:01Z

Really cool game, once I got the hold of mechanics I got too cocky and got my minions killed by upcoming soldiers xD Its really enjoyable and addicting to play. I would love to see only more and more content, more monsters to summon, maybe some special ones with a cooldown? But I barely have anything to nitpick. Great work! :)

Star Keeper by MrHumannn 2022-04-05T13:31:04Z

This is really inspiring game and has a lot of great things. The sea ship flying in space is great already, but I was shocked when I was allowed to walk on surface of the star, then into the machinery place and pick up objects! The things I would fix -> being able to skip the first cutscene, its fun, but quite long and you cant skip it if you want to play again. Also some animations on the ship while swimming through space would have been nice, on the steering wheel especially and maybe add more manuverability to the ship? I know its all probably due to the lack of time, but its really worth polishing, it looks like the beggining of a really cool and ambitious project :) Great concept and great visuals, I really like just roaming in space in that ship!

Trex – Delay the inevitable by AlbertOZ 2022-04-05T11:57:50Z

The moment I thought, oh, that's a wholesome ending... xD Cool experience, I enjoyed cute storytelling, althought there wasnt much to do in the game.

Signal Towers by GanonsSpirit 2026-05-05T01:49:56Z

I mean, its working :D Would like more levels that let you play with the mechanics! + Would like the option to confirm if you want to position the tower in given spot, or option to just reposition it, cause grabbing the wrong one on accident - you have to immediately restart.

Cookie Signal by Kurakurture 2026-04-22T14:42:09Z

tashi was my favorite word <3 Would love different levels for it with different difficulty levels. Love the humor but after a while you can only miss by missclicking on current difficulty, at least for me. Still, the vibe is on, great game! <3 My high score was 5173! :D

Signal Weave by alexhonor 2026-04-22T14:38:36Z

Addicting! :D Would play more if stars could get 'infected' by enemy or some force, maybe AI you could fight against to gain resources, take over each other nodes? Still, love the game and would really like to play more if more content is added to it! <3 signalStars.png

TellyBuddy by ColeSlaughter 2026-04-21T02:11:57Z

Lmao, love it xD I helped fixed matrix man hair, but ended up on this screen and can't figure out what more can I do xD Zrzut ekranu 2026-04-21 040930.png I love all the satysfing animations, how interactive my TellyBuddy is with eyes, mouth and whatnot :D

RobotsXRescue by bigwhiteshogun 2026-04-22T14:36:25Z

Love the graphics and little astronauts running to safety! <3 Had trouble figuring out where the "building area" for next site will be. Seemed to me like it was only appearing after I potentially made a mistake, but maybe I'm missing something. Absolutely love puzzle games and would love to play more once you add more levels, maybe more mechanics, tutorials! :D

USED by Palvel 2026-04-22T14:34:26Z

I absolutely dig the vibe and love the design of the monster! <3

-- .- -.-- -.. .- -.-- mayday by Ray Himmel 2026-05-08T23:27:50Z

I really like the idea. A tutorial would be nice and shorter messages for sure, but other than that, if it would lead to solving actual puzzle, if there would be a myster you can solve piece by piece or smth, its a really fun concept!

Signal Saboteur by An405 2026-04-23T20:12:45Z

I liked the visuals and cute alien, overall humor of the game! Great job! <3 :D

Sinking Signal - Physical Rules Edition by NBumgardner 2026-04-21T14:03:52Z

Omg, physical entry!!! <3 Love it as a board game geek myself! :D Unfortunately I have no printer nearby to play it, but I love how it has solo mode xD Placing items on a grid that will change / rearrange in next turn reminds me a bit of Kingdom Rush board game mechanic and I love that one! Read through the rules - the game seems fun, the art is lovely as well! Would love to play it either as released board game, or as digital version someday! <3

Cold Night by Janku 2026-04-21T02:28:03Z

@athaeryn Thank you so much for playing and leaving such cool comment and good feedback :D <3 So happy to hear you had fun time and finished the game! I was worried the game would be too hard, or not hard enough, I tried to balance ammo vs enemies ratio until last hour of jam xD Thank you again! Will be sure to check out your title in the morning, I need to get some sleep now xD

Cold Night by Janku 2026-04-21T13:06:00Z

@ofoof Thank you for playing and leaving thoughtful feedback! <3 Camera snapping is definetely an issue I want to look into, especially web version seems to have game-breaking issues with it, PC works much better, but I get how it can still feel like its too sensitive. Thanks again for playing! :D

Cold Night by Janku 2026-04-23T20:16:18Z

@ne-aquilon yeah, no reason to change characters apart from visual change :) Yeah, played resident evils recently a lot, but it mainly transfered to how 'puzzles' work in our game, cause it gave me quick idea to just put keys / locked door, use found item on ultimate goal combo, cause we had no time for actual puzzles :)

Cold Night by Janku 2026-04-30T16:53:37Z

@filgru Thank you! :) We definetely had talks about whether to add a flashlight or not, but with narrow time window, we decided pre-lighted rooms would be better, more balanced option and to leave some in the dark with hints of light of where you can go. If and when we do more levels, we also discussed different enemies with exact characteristics you describe as glowing in the dark eyes, as it also would be very creepy. Thank you for the feedback! Much appreciated <3

Signals in Distress by TheKimeo 2026-04-21T14:48:04Z

Wow. I could write a lot about this game. First of all, love me some tower defense, even in literal sense xD But you included so much of the theme into the game design and all of the tutorials, explaining how the game operates (super well done!), but also so much level design has been done and so many levels where I actually have to think for 5-10 minutes to figure out perfect setting that will stop specific types of enemies and cover all 3 dots? Thats insane amount of work and its so well done it feels like a crime to download it for free. I got to level 10, but I had to give up, cause I just have no time to go through it all today and yet there is still so much fun to be had with this game! I have no feedback to give, apart from the obvious - ui graphics. Other than that models are dope, I love how 3 hp enemy animates, its juicy! :D Would love some more simple textures and... that's all? It's more than perfect for a jam! Great job!

Zrzut ekranu 2026-04-21 164014.png

Some screenshots for proof of how far I got, I hope its not too much of a spoiler, although this level was one of the easier ones (still took me 3 minutes to figure out!)

CXNTACT by NonDev 2026-04-23T20:27:14Z

I really dig the vibe of being alone in space, love the graphics and sound effects! Cute, but creepy as heck! Great job :D

Many Wearing Rapiers are Afraid of Goosequills by j3m 2026-05-08T23:39:43Z

Interesting and really fun concept, although even small tutorial would be nice and some introduction to characters, some relations we can expect from them to determine which messages could be theirs. Would love to play more if the riddles were bit more polished! Starting without any info was hit and miss, sometimes I did guess correctly, other times didn't know why I guessed or didn't guess correctly. Some input on that would be great!

Angler by Athaeryn 2026-04-21T13:50:35Z

Haha, I love the vibes! The sounds are also very rich and I loved the camera work in the intro! I got to the end, but I gotta admit as the other comment - I also weighed my spacebar and just watched it happen xD I think it has gameplay potential to add "faster going down", but make signal be way, way deeper, so the meters on the visuals go down faster (numbers flying by are satysfing xD). Then, by going slightly up when some danger passes by, a shark for example would be interesting to manage. Has great potential! No spoilers! :D Zrzut ekranu 2026-04-21 153806.png

Call of Depths by Nnican 2026-05-05T01:48:39Z

Really liked the controls and vibe of the game. Would like to see something on cameras from time to time. Even though leviathans were all around I didnt see anything :/ Still, has potential for a really fun game! I really like how responsive buttons felt and how you operate the whole thing!

LD59 SIGNAL STRIKE by GARYglhf 2026-04-21T16:30:04Z

Very nice! Love the feeling of flying by and shooting. I really like the graphics and UI design. I only had an issue with helicopter spawning again but in different place than the spot, which was like the true position of it and camera centered around it. Would be fun to have more consequences to getting destroyed. I really enjoyed it though :D

SIGNAL:D by FireFish 2026-04-22T14:32:44Z

Haha, very original, I loved making weird faces to the camera (especially at work) xD Putting up codes all the time was a little too much at times though. I appreciate it adding to the overall vibe of the setting, but separate buttons would be quicker and probably more satysfing to use for specific actions and would speed up getting to whats satysfing in game (in my opinion). Still, quite complex, very fun it's a great game! I'm impressed how amazing work people put into this jame :D suprise.png

Please, Don't Hang Up (DEMO) by Alex O 2026-04-21T01:54:28Z

Wow. That's a heavy theme, but also brave to touch on the subject and I like how you handle it. Really great premise for a dialogue based game, as it makes you pay attention to what the other character is saying and you need to think your responses more carefully and respond with empathy. Can't wait for full release! :)

COPYTHAT by PPKO 2026-05-08T23:47:29Z

Really enjoyed it, although the difficulty spikes dramatically after first and second level xD I get it was probably game jam time limitation, but still, worth mentioning. The next area where I had to use dot-line symbols as well I totally didn't get and just guessed at this point and gave up after 2 levels. Would love some tutorial on that! Great concept though and very fun game. Would love to play it, once it gets some tutorial, balancing!
