Nice job! I especially like how the bears look, very cute! π
Nice game! The difficulty's well-balanced. It's challenging, but not too hard. Also, very scary vibe!
Nice job! The game's pretty short, but it works well. The artwork is really great! π
Cool game! The graphics and audio are really great. π
I enjoyed that! It's quite a compelling story considering it's pretty short. π
I like how the story unfolds more if you don't just follow instructions, which what I did at first (not sure what that says about me π)
Apparently I find meditating quite stressful.
Nice game, well done! π
Good writing, nice creepy vibe. And good job on that terminal framework! π
Cool concept, though I was a bit confused on how to play. I didn't really a lot of barrels to steer with, it seems. Maybe I just did something wrong though. π The artwork is awesome, as is the music!
Simply concept, but works very well. I love the minimalist graphics!
Great mood! Never before has balancing two circles felt so epic! π
Love the artstyle!
Cool game, loved the art style and the weird music!
Well, I'm still not great at chemistry, I guess. π Great concept though and it looks good too! The shattering glass got a bit of jumpscare out of me. π
Great game! It looks and feels super polished and there are even quite a lot of levels. Excellent job! π
Very impressive, especially considering the limited resources/time you had at your disposal. Probably the best use of a single battery charge I've ever seen! π
Excellent! Graphics are simple, but very effective. Really nice puzzle mechanics and level designs. Especially, the last level had me stumped for a bit, but I found it compelling enough to stick around until I found the solution. Well done! π
I can only play for a couple of seconds before it locks up, so I could only rate the graphics really (which look great btw!). I'm running the Linux version.
Good job! Bit short, but I like the spooky vibe. Great job on the main characters animation. π
Nice! Love the 1-bit art style. Things really get challenging when the weather starts to hit.
Great game! The graphics are great, I especially liked the potion effects. The leaderboard is a cool touch!
Really awesome entry! The amount of polish is very impressive. It looks and feels great from the moment you enter the main menu. The gameplay is a lot of fun. The only complaint I have is that in some situations you can get hit by enemies you weren't able to predict after bashing in a random direction, which can feel a bit unfair. Other than that, it's pretty much the perfect entry! π
Cool concept! Love the hookshot. It's really hard though, because the movement feels a bit slippery and the platforms a bit small. But if you tweak those things, this could be quite addictive! π
Great game! Fun to play, it's difficulty enough to be challenging, but easy enough to not be frustrating. The voxel graphics are cute. And I love the little detail where some of the customers are shaking to get their coffee. π
Cool concept! I think it needs some sort of tutorial though. I had a hard time figuring out that I could sell the animals to make money.
Too bad the game's so short, because I think the core gameplay idea is really solid!
Cool story, simple but very charming graphics and weird (in a good way!) music. The gameplay gets a bit boring, but the overall mood kept me going. Maybe try adding a pixel perfect camera, I could see the differences in pixel size at times, but that's nitpicking. π Very nice job!
Nice game! Graphics look really good, I especially liked the effects you used. I had a bit of a problem with hitting enemies without getting hit myself, so I didn't really get very far, but maybe I just suck. π
Nice, simple game. The particle effects are a nice touch. π
Great puzzle game. The gameplay, graphics and audio all fit together perfectly with the theme. I love that it requires no explanation and you immediately know what to do. All it needs is more levels. π Excellent job!
The graphics are simple but charming and the music provides a great atmosphere. You have a lot of different mechanics going on that work very well together and it feels polished as well. The collision with the enemies could be a bit more forgiving though, as I found it really hard (and sometimes impossible) to avoid them, but that's really the only nitpick I have. Great job! π
Nice game with nice graphics. I like how you have to balance paying of your debt with buying powerups. :)
Nice relaxing sound track. The graphics are simple, but you've put in some nice little details, such as the parallax scrolling background and Jeffers blinking ever once in a while. Good job! :)
Really nice job! Retro graphics look great and the music and sound effects are amazing. The gameplay is challenging and fun, though I have to agree with @gamepopper about the turn speed.
Such a wonderful looking game! It actually looks like you're playing the game on a piece of paper. The game play is solid and the audio is excellent. The only fault I can find is that the shaking of the clouds felt a little fiddly to me.
Love the pixel art and the way the sacrifices work. I would advice against losing the eyes. π
Good job! Loved the car sound π
The graphics are really awesome! Sound is also really good. The gameplay is solid (and gets pretty challlenging!) and everything is so well polished. Excellent job!
Nice game! (lot of similarities with mine actually π ) The gameplay is solid and the audio and graphics are nice. I felt that buying a weapon was really random though and not always an upgrade from the previous one.
I think you have a great idea here! It needs some more work though. It was a bit hard for me to understand what was going on sometimes and what I needed to do. But if you keep working on it, I think this could be quite interesting. π
Great job! I really felt that my actions had consequences. The fade in/out effects of the UI are a very nice touch.
The title screen glitch is a little annoying, but you can probably still fix it! (I think bugfixes are allowed after the deadline as long as you provide a changelog π)
The pixel art is great! I found the gameplay a little boring, but the music and sound effects are nice. π
Nice game! Graphics are nice and I love the music. π
Great intro, very funny! The graphics and sounds are nice.
I think it's already been said, but it would be nice to have some more feedback on when you're hitting something or are being it.
Oh and I liked the part about money! π
Impressive work! I like the graphics, especially the characters, they're funny. π The mechanics work really well and the walking audio is a nice detail. One thing that might improve the overall experience is have by adding some camera movement while you're walking.
Nice take on the theme. The audio is really good! The gameplay works well, although the rough collision detection can make it a bit frustrating at times.
BTW, there's not such thing as unnecessary explosions. So plus points for those! π
Nice job! Really enjoyed this one. The controls are a bit hard to get used to, but once you do it feels really satisfying to move the truck around. The graphics are really nice. Starting a new game after losing doesn't work right though. The number of missed deliveries doesn't get reset to 0. So you lose instantly if you miss one. Also, some audio would have made it even better. π
Really cool! This feels like one of those games I would spend an afternoon typing into my (ok, my parent's) Acorn Electron from a book as a little kid. π
The gameplay is cool, although a little slow, I spent a lot of time just pressing 1. Maybe an option for spending a longer time programming would help with that.
Well done, fellow first-timer! π I like the concept. The graphics are simple, but effective. Too bad there isn't any audio. Also, it seems like the first two dudes die really quickly. I would've expected that the dude in front would function as a tank or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Very nice! You made a city builder as a puzzle game work really well. One little nitpick is that for me my city became more than 50% road. π I think it would be nice if you'd allow the roads in the pieces to overlap with existing roads on the map when you place them, if that makes sense.
Nice work! Art looks great! Minigames have nothing to do with selling cellphones of course, but I found that kind of funny. π I liked that you made a proper tutorial, shows the level of polish you put into it.
Nice, I enjoyed the menu screen the most actually π, the graphics of it and the music are great! The hitboxes are bit off though. I got destroyed a couple of times by trash that should have counted as a pickup.
Nice concept. Looks cool and I found it challenging. Would be even better if the controls would feel a little bit more responsive.
Good stuff, really nice artwork and audio. The overflowing sink is a nice detail. π
Really like how the little alien look! The trippy song fits well.
The gameplay feels a little bit flawed to me though. I think that's mostly because you always jump the same distance/height. I think it would help a lot if the distance jumped was determined by how long you keep space pressed. That way it's a little easier to make the smaller jumps. :)
Excellent! This is the best entry I've played so far. It really has that "just one more try" feel. I think this would be a great fit for mobile too.
Only fault I could find is a small bug where the big black/red circle stays red after you die when it's red and then retry, but that's just nitpicking. :)
Nice! Like the pixelart, it's really simple but charming. :) Also really like the screen effect on the beat of the music. It's a nice detail, but could be a little bit more subtle as it's quite strong now and because of that a little bit distracting.
Good job! Looks easy, but was actually pretty challenging to me. I agree with the Anonymous comment though. It's kind of hard to look at the UI while you're playing the game. Maybe you could have some text pop-up when you pick up an item telling you "Wrong item" or "3 left" or something. :)
Nice, cool concept! :)
Good stuff! The black and white art style is nice and game concept is cool. I got some unhappy customers while it looked like I had plenty of time left though. Not sure if that's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. :)
The background moving faster when you accelerate time is a nice touch.
Nice work! I liked the light stripes in the sidebars. Makes it look fast, nice detail. :)
Love it! It's funny because I think this is recognizable for anyone that has had the misfortune to have to deal with a crappy phone. :)
The graphics are great and the controls worked flawlessly for me. Only (really small) nitpick I have is with the phone's angle. I would have like to see it tilted slightly more towards the camera.
Very cool! It's suprisingly satisifying when you get a good punch in. :)
Really nice! Love the overall style and how well it plays. Also, thanks for adding an easy mode! ;) Only side note I can think off is that it's a little hard to follow (at least for me), with so many columns and numbers in there. But it could also be that I'm not that great with numbers. π
Looks like fun! Unfortunately I don't have anyone to play with right now. I'll try to check it out tomorrow!
As you say, the game has some bugs, but I wouldn't worry about it too much. The artstyle totally makes up for it! It looks great and very funny. :D
If you really want to I think I read in the rules that it's allowed to fix bugs? Don't take my word for it though, it's my first entry as well. :) It should be on the rules page though.

Great atmosphere! The graphics are very charming and the music fits the eerie vibe really well. Some of the puzzles were just a tad bit too far-fetched for me, but with a couple of hints from the walkthrough (thanks for that π ) I got to the end ultimately. I did have to restart once, because I got stuck in a room because of a bug. Great job! π

Nice entry! Great artstyle and the music is great as well. It all looks and feels very polished. I did miss some sound effects, especially when resolving I think that would be helpful.

That was an experience. Thanks. π

Nice entry, great atmosphere. You got a lot done as a single person team. Well done! π

Nice game! Well polished, the graphics are great. The music gave me Command & Conquer vibes. π Well done!

Great game! I didn't manage to finish it, because I lost my ladders, stuck in various walls. π The graphics look very good, creates a nice mood. Humor's reminds me a lot of High on Life. π Well done!
5G Crash by krawa 2026-04-23T20:58:34Z ♥ 2
Had a lot of fun with this one! The art's really cool and funny. Was chuckling when the guy with the bathtub on his back first showed up π Had my head banging throughout, the music is stellar π€
Average League by N.O.X 2026-04-23T20:28:23Z ♥ 2
Great entry! The drawings are really great and the idea of super heroes with lackluster super-powers is very funny. :) Good difficulty balance. I did find the drawing of the logos a bit finicky, but it's very possible I just wasn't doing it correctly. π
Pied Piper TD by Onizik 2026-04-23T19:52:29Z ♥ 2
Fun tower defense game! Nice level of challenge, though once you only have one house left, it becomes pretty easy to just keep the spiders in your signal range and prevent them from eating the last house. Like the programmer art, the spiders are actually kind of intimidating. :D
Glitched Signal by Jamope_ 2026-04-21T22:46:52Z ♥ 2
Cool, I love the style. It's moody and a little creepy. I couldn't get past the radio tower, the guy behind me was too fast for me to find the right frequency and stay ahead of 'em. Using the scroll wheel to scroll through radio frequencies is a creative idea, feels very immersive!
Space Record Studio by kayrum 2026-04-21T22:36:47Z ♥ 1
Awesome entry, easily my favorite so far! Mixing a tune together is really satisfying. The whole vibe is extremely charming. Very polished, didn't run into any bugs. Moving through the stars was a bit slow, I found myself just wanting to click on them to move to them more quickly, but that's pretty minor gripe about an otherwise flawless entry. Very well done! π
MONITORS by hotdog 2026-04-21T21:53:57Z ♥ 3
I scare pretty easily and am therefore not great with horror games, so those two minutes were pretty long for me. π Means it was freaking scary though, so well done! Great mood. I loved the musical reward at the end. xD
First Contact 3000 by 23edsa 2026-04-21T21:41:55Z ♥ 2
Nice relaxing game. Very polished, didn't run into any bugs, other than the buildings will overlap with the UI on the top if you place them in the top row. Looping music sometimes gets annoying after a bit, but not at all here. It's really nice and chill. :)
Deep Fall by qmdev 2026-04-21T21:16:17Z ♥ 0
Though I think it could do with another mechanic for a bit of variation, I do like how the game is in service of one simple concept. It's actually quite hard to keep the scope of a game small enough so you end up with something polished at the end. You managed to that with your first attempt. Well done!
Bag of Beholding by Jawdan 2026-04-21T21:00:02Z ♥ 2
I really like the pixel art-style! I think it mostly misses some feedback to the player about what an action does exactly. Reminds me of Backpack Hero. :)
