Amazing job on the art and audio! The game design is also really good, I found it quite challenging (just like in real life I could feel the stress). Good job, solid entry!

Good job on your first LD entry! It is impossible to die (except if you shoot all the time without hitting), so you might want to improve that, or add a timer so that it ends at some point.
Really liked the way the controls work, it feels great. I am sure that with the feedback from all these other amazing people you will be able to make an even better game next time! I'm really happy that you joined the community :)
A very relaxing game, and everything helped set that mood, the visuals, the gameplay, the audio and the poetic texts. Amazing entry and a lot of admiration for the fact that you managed to produce a game of this quality in 72 hours. Visually easily the best one I've seen so far!
I love the design of the level, not only from a game design perspective but especially from an easthetic point of view! It looks amazing and 3D is always very hard considering the face that it is just three days. Amazing job on the music as well, everything is very fitting!
The horse is great, with its animations! Really nice that there were multiple ways to explore, that made it fun as well. I think it would be a very nice addition if you could add savepoints. I noticed the the horse's hitbox was a bit smaller than it's size, which made navigating or picking up apples a bit difficult sometimes. Once again, well done on the animations, love them!
Very cool game! I love the general mood and the ground breaking AI movement :) It would be interesting if there would be a score or any other upgrades as it gets a bit repetitive at some point. Overall good job!
Really nice game! Easy to understand, but hard to master. I would have loved some music, but other than that it's a really solid entry!
Solid entry! I really like the sound design and the overall vibe. Art was also nice, but the text was a bit hard to read sometimes. Overall, good job!
Nice entry, fits the theme. There is, however, one thing that I don't really like and that is that it's the choice between game over and continuing, nothing halfway. I do understand that from the story though, but it's not really a choice. There also seems to be a bug with the water gap. Other than that, nice casual game!
Nice game with an interesting mechanic! I think the level design could use some extra attention since the second level is hard at the checkpoint without a buddy. Other than that, it's a great game with an interesting application of the theme!
It's a nice quick and casual game to play and really to get right away. De main audio is a bit messy in my opinion and the game is not really innovative as there is not really a new or interesting mechanic. Other than that, it's a solid and polished entry!
Great game, but I'd have like to have an extra life. Controls are good, I like the explanation part as well (adds more information every time you die and is skip-able). Would have liked some variation in the art assets, but overall good job. Loved the jokes, but can't see how this game fits the theme. And let's not forget: 490 is my high score.
I really like the game! Nice graphics, audio is well done (but could use a death sound), but I don't get the interpretation of "running out of space". Overall well done and feels very polished!
It's a nice game that I just kept playing! Nice idea with the economy and overall a good job! In the background audio, the hi-hat is too prominent in my opinion, but I really like the audio of the boss battle. An idea to improve the sense of movement would be to make the background move in the opposite direction of the player. All in all, a nice game!
This is a nice puzzle game, well done! I like the art style and the mechanics and I've had a good 10 minutes playing the game! The levels could have been a bit more challenging though and the laser sound is a bit too loud in my opinion. Overall a good job and nice implementation of the theme!
It's a nice concept, but as others already said, the levels are getting hard extremely early. I've beaten the second level, but the third one was too difficult. I love the animations on the player character and the overall graphics!
It's quite mindless to play to be honest, you don't really have to think about what you do and every time it feels the same when playing it. I do want to compliment you on the particles and the sound design, I like both of those!
I had a nice time playing this game! Well done mechanics and nice levels, good job!
Really fun game and takes a different approach than the normal shooter games, well done!
This game looks beautiful and the music really fits the game! It's not really clear what the objective is, but it's surely nice to explore the well-made area, good job!

What a ride! Love your interpretation of the theme, best game I've played so far this jam. Straight 5's in all categories, the mood and humor were there, the theme is implemented very nicely and the voice acting on top of the music is just really good! Perfect entry, wish I'd made it!

Love the interpretation of the theme and how you made that into this great little platformer game! The jump mechanic is interesting, the edge jump is a bit tricky to get down for me consistently. The second spike area was hard to get past, I didn't manage to despite my efforts. Audio is great, love the funky vibes. Intro screen has nice art, was a bit surprised to see a different style in the game, but it fit the vibe well. Overall a very solid entry, good job!

Nice game, cool take on the "Unstable" theme. The jumping felt a bit off at the start, especially when on a falling block, but it was fun to solve the puzzles! Good audio, good graphics and a cool entry that you can be proud of! Congratz!

Well done! It's really fun to play and the different type of objects make it really challenging as well. Great spin on the theme, putting a classic game in a new way. I love it! Graphics are very fitting and make it look professional. Audio is solid, overall a very fun and enjoyable game!

First of all, I love the music and SFX! Very well done! I really like the graphics, feels very polished and well put together. I don't really understand the core mechanic, I always hit the lowest possible height, by guessing I accidentally found the solution. Not sure how that works. Loved the mood tho with the scientist, cool story!

At first I thought you could not land on your head so it was hard to get a lot of score points. When I noticed you cannot die, it was easier to score points. Good job on the driver and the driving mechanics, feels like a solid entry!

I like the music and the graphics are very nice. I do not really get the connection to the theme to be honest, and I had trouble with the wall jump, it didn't really always snap when I wanted to and the opposite happened as well. Overall a solid game, good job!
