Very fun and addictive game. The music and sounds really help build the feel. Would've been nice to have some kind of score to indicate the number of chicken blasted off. Great Job!

Very fun and addictive game. The music and sounds really help build the feel. Would've been nice to have some kind of score to indicate the number of chicken blasted off. Great Job!
Loved your take on the theme. I really liked the idea of moving the camera to look ahead. Also, the art style is very good. However, I do feel that it was a bit difficult. Overall, great job!
Very nice game. Multiple enemies and weapons were nicely done. Sounds were good too. Screen shake was a good touch.
However, after finding higher ground, I felt safe there and didn't see any point to go lower. You should do something to encourage player movement (like spawning more enemies if the player stays in the same area for too long).
Initially, I thought there was just one small area. During my second try, I started moving more and realized that there's more. You could look into moving the camera with the character or something else to indicate that.
Overall, good job!
Beautiful visuals and very relaxing game. Audio is good too.
However, a better indication for end game would be nicer. I kept wondering if there was anything more to do after finding the pure thoughs and the secret key.
Besides that, it's a pretty good game. Good job!
Simple and fun game. Took me a few tries to understand, pretty addictive after I got the hang of it. Also, I love the art. Good job!
Very fun game. I love how the spider keeps swinging up and down. The progression in difficulty is good too. Good Job!
Very nice game. Loved the simple art style. I like how you put instructions in the game. I felt like the movement was very fast. Would've been better if the speed was a little bit slower, but that's not a big issue.
Great job!
Really cool art style and animations. Loved the music and sounds. Very simple, fun and addictive gameplay. I like that you put a goal which encouraged me to play it again and again. Great job!
Great game, very fun to play. I love the way it randomly fills up the space, nice take on the theme.
I like the concept. Art is nice too. However, I agree with what others have already said about changing the color of the tile when you capture it.
Fun game. Nice and simple art style. Very polished. I love the name and the logo :). However, I felt like the numbers on the boxes were too small to read.
Great job!
Love the visuals and the sound design. Awesome post processing effects too. However, I felt like it was a bit too difficult, but it might be what you guys were aiming for.
Hilarious game. Awesome music. Good take on the theme. Took me a few tries to get the hang of the controls, was pretty fun after that. Great job!
Simple and fun game. I also like the simple art. However, I do agree with others on the jump being floaty and some collision issues. But for a 5 hour game, it is really well made. Well done!
I really like the art and animations. Gameplay is simple and fun. I love how you have make a decision to either consume milk or keep it for later. Ramming felt pretty good too. Great job!
Really cool game. Very nice art and animations too. Gets challenging pretty fast. Great job!
Really like the art and animations. Combat is good too. I love that you guys added a tutorial at the beginning which helped a lot to understand the mechanics. However, I felt that the progression was a bit slow and sometimes the game just won't progress or maybe I'm just bad at the game.
Overall, great job!
Very fun game. Really like the art and music. However, I felt that the forklift's speed was a bit slow. Overall, very nicely done.
I like the art and music. But I have to agree with others, the controls seemed too weird. using a single key to hover would've been much better.
Simple and fun game. I like the art and music too. I loved how enemy body parts stayed on the ground.
However, using mouse to aim would've been nicer (An alternative to this would be to use the keyboard to shoot by pressing spacebar or some other key). Also, I felt like the enemies were very few in numbers.
Very fun game. Though, I have to agree with what others already have pointed out, it was very confusing at first. It got pretty addictive once I got the hang of it. Overall, good job!
Amazing game. Nice minimalist art, simple gameplay mechanic, very polished. Also music and sounds are cool too. Great job for a compo game!
I loved the art style and the music. I love the feedback you get when on hitting obstacles. It was quite short though. Overall, great job!
Fun game. Clear instructions and easy to understand. I like how different members need different controls which adds a little bit of challenge. Would've been even more challenging if the controls or the positions of other members changed randomly every time you play it.
Very fun game. I love how you can destroy everything in the environment. The brakes on the bus could have been a little more powerful. Sometimes, pressing S or Space bar didn't feel like it was going to stop the bus.
Overall, Great job!
Very nicely done. I love how you put a small straight forward level to introduce a mechanic. The last level took me a few tries, but I enjoyed it a lot. Found one little bug, not sure if it was intended, but walking on a door tile makes the door disappear and the tile will become unusable, even the key won't work there.
Overall, Great job!
Really liked the idea of running out of disk space. However, I have to agree with what others have already mentioned about the game being too difficult (especially level 2). There were a few collision issues, nothing major though. Also, pressing X to jump seemed quite odd. Overall, it was a fun game:).
Beautiful art style and music. Loved the concept. Initially I thought I was randomly running out of personal space. Took me a couple of tries to figure that the window represents your personal space. Also, I felt that the gameplay was too simple.
Very fun game :). Loved the art and voices too. Very polished game. It was fun to drive the bus with the doors open, LOL.
Great Job!
Great game. Nice graphics and well polished. Simple and good music.
Saw a few collision issues here and there, nothing major.
However, after a few days I figured I was doing well on power and money and was just clicking the 'Next Day' button endlessly. Maybe you can have multiple asteroids at a time during later parts of the game falling instead of just one.
Also, I thought the nuclear power plant generates too much power. I had one power plant which was generating enough power for the remaining buildings.

Overall, a very enjoyable game. Would love to know if you guys are continuing on making this game or a sequel.
Cool game. I like the music. It was very fun to control the forklift and bumping into boxes.
It took me a couple of tries to get the hang of the controls, but that's not a big deal. However, I do feel that the icons for the boxes in the delivery area could have been more clear. I didn't know which boxes were supposed to go to which area the first time I played it. Apart from that, I really enjoyed the game. Good job!
Very nice game. Controls and movement feel amazing. However, I found the game over text a little hard to read. Overall, Great job!
Very fun game. Easy to play, hard to get a high score and very cool music. Good job!
Very cool concept. Really nice graphics. It has a potential to be a very good puzzle game. I would love to see a post jam version with more levels :).
Nice idea. It was a bit confusing when I played it for the first couple of times. Also, the movement is very clunky. It would have been easier to understand if the controls were smoother.
Overall, it's a good game. Really nice take on the theme.
Fun little platformer. I had a few collision issues here and there, but nothing major. Transition between levels could've been smoother. Also, the void was very slow. It would've added much more tension to the game if it was faster. Overall, good job!
Very cool game. Killing zombies is always fun. However, I do agree with what others have already said about the controls. Apart from that, it's pretty fun. Good job!
Took me a few tries to understand. A pretty good game overall. I loved how you combined tetris mechanics with a rocket navigating game. Good job!
Very simple and fun game. Great art style. I love the controls too. Felt a little dizzy while turning the boat, but that's not a major issue. Overall, great job!
@guin36 @jofiredragon @aflatthrasher @qkerguelen Thanks for the feedback :). I was thinking about adding a little more challenge to the game by doing something different with the controls. I'm probably going to continue working on this game for a bit after the jam is completely over, will keep these points in mind.
@seablu @nenas @ozerion2103 @ristoretto Thank you for the feedback :). I'm glad you guys are enjoying the game.
@call-me-nutty Thanks for the feedback :). I'll definitely look into the lag issue and will update the game soon.
@balka Thank you very much for you feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it :). I'm definitely going to add different enemy types in the post-jam version.
@hexkritor Thank you for the feedback :). I'll try to come up with a better health indicator post-jam.
@yaro I'm glad you're enjoying the game :)
@yayapipi @bizbud @n-feofentov @megalink Thank you for your feedback :). An option to switch the control scheme is the first thing I'm going to add in the post-jam version.
@darkguardsman @jokku @corqi @verbante Thanks for playing :). I've added an option to choose the movement scheme in the post-jam version.
@pnghasemi Thanks for you feedback :). I've reduced the music volume in the post-jam version and added volume sliders for music and sfx.
@sh1rogane Sorry about your finger :). I've already added a post-jam version where you can choose between click and hold to fire. The decreasing health meter seemed a little weird when I was implementing it. Will try to come up with a better health indication in some future version.
@piscythe Thank you very much for your feedback :). I'll keep improving the game in future versions.
@anubhav-kashyap Glad you are enjoying the game :)
@demn Thank you very much for your detailed feedback :). I'll keep these points in mind while working on the next update.
@cristihkj @eric-kulbiej @rahim-pxr I'm glad you are enjoying the game :)
Very nice idea. Good take on the theme. Great job!
Love the art style, especially the character. Nice and intuitive controls, movement feels much better in the post-jam version. Exploring the level was fun too.
However, I felt the game was too easy. I was able to explore the entire level without losing much health. It could've been more challenging if the gas did more damage to the character. That way, players would have to choose between exploring the remaining level and escaping with what they have.
Overall, good Job!
It's got a nice Papers Please vibe to it. Loved the mood, simple gameplay, art style and music. Good Job!
A very interesting take on the theme. I love the art style and also the anxiety meter. Great job for a Compo game!
Loved the music and art. Very challenging gameplay. Also, I thought the initial platforms were a bit too difficult.
I like the concept. I agree with what others have already mentioned about gameplay being too slow. Also, the ship's movement was very floaty. I would suggest adding parallax to the background to give a better sense of movement. With some nice sound effects, this could be very fun game.
Very nice and polished game. Loved the hammers. Going backwards was kinda weird because of the camera position. Apart from that, the game is pretty good. Great job!
Nice game, I really like the idea.
Placing towers/walls could've used some limit to avoid making an unbeatable fortress. The game does get a bit repetitive after a while. Also, the color clouds were a bit confusing, I feel like they need a better indication of when they are empty and when they can be used again.
Overall, nice work!
Good game. Level 2 was a little confusing as the platforms blended in with the background. I'd suggest making platforms more clear. Apart from that, its a nice game.
Nice little game. I really liked the mechanics. Nice music too.
However, the game is a bit slow. Also, I didn't get the point of coins and speed.
One minor issue, after solving all puzzles I just got a black screen.
Overall, really cool idea. Good job!
Great game! I had a lot of fun playing this.
I agree with what others have already pointed out about the camera. Sometimes, I found it really difficult to jump in certain directions due to the fixed camera, using a controller was much better.
Apart from that, the game is really nice. The mechanics, enemy variety, audio - all work nicely. Great job!
Very nice and simple game. Loved playing it till the end. I thought the game would get slower towards the end but then I got golems who kept the game going at a proper rate. You can make this into something bigger by adding some more features, would love to play more of it.
Also, this fits last LD's theme too - "Sacrifices must be made".
Great job!
A really nice idle game. I didn't feel like upgrading the refineries, rollers, cutters and stampers since all the ores were getting converted to coins even after fully upgrading the importer. You might want to reduce their speeds.
The additions to the post jam version are nice. I noticed a bug where you can place refinery, roller, etc to line 1 even if you don't have enough money.
Overall, great job! Had a lot of fun playing this. :)
Great game! Nice artwork and audio too.
As others have already pointed out, the slash and dash made the game a little too easy. Also, an indication of the direction of remaining enemies would've been helpful. There was one time I was randomly roaming around a level just to search one enemy.
Overall, great work!
Very fun game. Great concept. I wish there was a way to restart a level, something like 'R' to restart.
Fun game.
Keeping track of what I was collecting was kinda difficult since I also had to keep track of the combos, took me a while to get the hang of it. Also, it was sometimes difficult to avoid policemen. An option to skip the final counting would've been nicer.
Overall, well done!
Nice game. Great art and very creepy voice acting. A bit too difficult to catch children since they run away to their houses too fast. Maybe try adding more space between houses.
Overall, Good job!
Loved the artwork, characters and dialogs. Great job!
Very fun game. Loved the art and audio. A bit too difficult (or maybe I'm just bad at it:smile:). Great job!
Excellent game! I could play this for hours.
It would be great if I could preview the object before placing them. That would allow me to place them more strategically.
After placing an object, it was kinda annoying to select the same object from the menu if I wanted to place it again. I'd suggest not deselecting an object after placing it.
Apart from that, the game is really good. Great job!
Nice game. A bit too easy though. Also, a button to automatically move to the next enemy would be a nice addition so the game could be played using mouse only.
Overall, good job!
Cool concept. Loved the effects and audio. Was a little difficult to understand though. Overall, great job!
@drumgadget-433 Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll look into balancing out the pickups for the post-jam version.
@zuick @klianc09 @pabricka Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
@skylark721 Yes, Into The Breach was an inspiration :smile:. I see your point about the ending, I'll try to come up with something better for the post-jam version
@bachikajaia @sangemdoko @davidus @enver-arco @greendinogames @ogelgames Thanks a lot for playing!
@ashtrail Thanks a lot for the feedback! I really wanted to add some music, but was running out of time. Will add some music in the post-jam version for sure.
@josh-powlison Thanks a lot for playing and reporting the Quit button bug. I'll do something better for victory in the post-jam version.
@nerzal Can you tell me which browser are you using?
Nice game and simple to understand. Getting more hearts was easier in the beginning, but got very difficult as I progressed, adding more heart drops would make the game more rewarding.
Overall, good job!
Fun game. Loved the art. Took me a few tries to get the hang of it. The game becomes a bit difficult after a while or maybe I'm just bad at it :smile:
One issue though, the game doesn't go past the title screen on Mozilla Firefox.
Overall, Great job!
Good game. Simple to understand. Some sound effects would add more fun to the game.
Enemy health bars would've been nicer. Also, the camera size felt too small. It was hard to guess the positions of enemies outside the screen.
Once I got two of the same items to buy. It would be better to make sure that there are different items to choose from.
Excellent game, loved it. Great concept, gameplay, music, art. The difficulty scales up nicely as well. Great job!
Very fun game. Loved the music change on running over people, ~~just the way I drive.~~
The game could use a time limit or a late penalty or something else to force players to drive faster since I could just drive slowly to get all the patients.
Overall, great job!
Very fun and addictive game. Took me a few tries to reach 1024. I agree with what others have already pointed out about the columns in which the blocks fall which sometimes made the game frustrating.
Overall, Good job!
I like the idea of controlling the bullet after firing. The art nice as well.
I felt that the game was a little slow. Also, the bullets disappear too early to use the control mechanic effectively.
At first, I didn't realize I had to swipe the tutorial, I kept clicking the arrow.
With some sounds, this game can be a lot more fun.
Very simple and fun game. Loved the idea of using coins for everything. The eyes following the mouse was a nice touch.
The coin pickup sound effect is too loud, but that's not a big deal.
The game gets a little repetitive after a while. Maybe try adding different enemy types as the game progresses.
Overall, great job!
Simple and fun game. However, it becomes too easy after maxing out both upgrades.
One issue, the score doesn't reset after restarting.
Fun game. I like the idea of trading life for more time.
The zombies had a lot of health, so the gun didn't seem to do much to kill them. I only managed to escape when I stopped using the gun.
Also, an indicator for which direction the helicopter is would've been really helpful.
Loved the art, audio, intro. I don't see a connection to the theme, but that's not a big deal.
A health bar UI would be really helpful. I agree with what others have already pointed out about the controls, using the mouse to rotate would've been better.
Overall, great job!
Good game. Nice dialogs as well. It was a bit too easy though. Apart from that, good job!
This was fun. Loved how there was a new heart type every level, that kept the game interesting. The difficulty scales up nicely as well. Great job!
Nice game. Reminds me of agar.io. This would work really well on mobiles.
It was a little confusing at first. It needs some UI work to make things more clear, especially the mutation part. Apart from that, the game is fun. Good job!
Loved the art and audio. It was a little difficult to play since I was playing it alone. I don't see the connection to the theme, but thats not a big deal.
Good job!
This was very fun. The font was a little hard to read. This could be a very nice relaxing game with a some more polish and some nice music. Great job overall! :)
This is really nice! I found the tutorial quite overwhelming and took me a while to get used to it, especially the repairing part. Maybe try making the tutorial a little slower. Like, let the players get used to movement, shooting and retrieving for a while and then introduce destroying and repairing.
Great job overall! :)
Really cool concept. This can be a really fun puzzle game with more work. One minor thing, I could finish the last level by just jumping over the door.
Great work!
Fun game! Good take on the theme. It's not clear that you're supposed to loop around center block at first and I kept thinking that it's skipping the inputs. Well done overall!
This was fun. Loved the music and the dialogs were good too. The drone was fun to control. Would've loved to play more. The colors for dialog options can be changed though to make them look like choices. Good work overall!
Great game and a really nice take on the theme!! The chats can be improved. If you choose the wrong option, she can correct you instead of leaving and then playing through another day to choose the next option. Also, the cursor can be on the text box when the job starts.
Great work overall! :)
This was very fun. A bit too difficult at start though. Took me a couple of tries to get used to it. Really great use of the theme. Great art, sounds and humor. It would be great if you can trick enemies to shoot into each other when you're in the middle of them and move just when they shoot.
Great work overall! :)
Interesting game. Turning can be improved a lot as others have pointed out. I like how old cars can fill up the gas. Exploration can be made better like better hints to find survivors or some backgrounds to actually show that you're driving (especially on long roads).
Good work overall!
Really nice game. I don't think I understood how the gears worked. Anyway, with some more levels, this can turn into a really good game. Great work!!
This is really interesting and very fun, love rhythm based games <3 and I've made something similar for my submission as well. I agree with what others have pointed out about collection the notes. Adding some more polish like enemy death effects or better visual effects for different weapons and a better way to collect the notes would make it a lot more fun. I did noticed a small break at the end of of the loops.
Great job overall!! :)
@reallyqbert @skvader-418 Thanks a lot for the feedback.
@reallyqbert I have a question, after finding the first treasure, did you press E to use it or did you just go to the second one?
@wrimo @twohands Thanks a lot for reporting this bug, I'll fix it as soon as I can.
@scharma Yeah, stamina bar is a good idea. Increasing the ammo is something I'm thinking as well for the post jam version. But you wouldn't have to restart the whole thing if you run out of bullets, the next time you go near that spot, the enemies will continue from where you left them.
@wrimo @twohands That bug has been fixed. Thanks again for letting me know :)
Love the art style and the music. The dialogs were nice too.
Catching the bandit isn't clear. The first time, he just ran into me and disappeared, maybe some better indication than just the sound would be better. Also, on the second day, it took me a while to figure out that I needed to come in his way while he is going up or down to catch him. It would be made better if the sheriff could go up and down as well, that would give a nice sense of chasing the bandit.
Good work overall!
Fun game. But the ball speed was very random. Sometimes it was too fast to catch it (really annoying when that happened in the beginning) and sometimes it gets too slow. It would be really cool if breaking the anxiety blocks played some kind of a melody instead of a scale.
Love the art and music. Really liked the idea of connecting stars together to form some kind of a constellation. It would be great if there was a full screen mode.
Great job!
Very fun game. Love the feeling of fixing the track just before the train goes through it :laughing:.
Really good game. Love the art and sounds. Power ups were good too. It took me 5 loops to finish it and got 1010 score (not sure what the score meant). I found it too easy, especially after getting that power up of healing on attacking enemies. With some more enemy types(maybe some enemies that can attack you), and more challenging gameplay, this can be even more fun.
Great work!! :)
Really cool game. Very fun to play. Music and art were good too and the boss fight was really fun. The hit boxes on the guns and health pickups can be improved or use a button to choose when near them because sometimes I didn't get them even after I passed through them. Also, one minor thing, I noticed that one game over screen says that you can use shift to dash instead of space.
Great work overall!! :)
Really fun platformer. Nice controls and looks pretty good too. I was a little confused at first on where I should go next until I followed the particles. A better way would be something like making the blue crystal move and you follow it till it leads you to the orange crystal, just a suggestion.
Good work overall!
Nice game. The art and music is really good. The controls are a bit difficult and can be made a little tighter. Also, as others have already pointed out, the camera size can be increased to avoid leaps of faith. But still a fun game though. Good job! :)
