The UI wasn't showing up on the fullscreen version, but the windowed version did. I find it a bit annoying to have to hold the W button all the time, maybe an option to make it a toggle?
Btw how did you made the hex-sphere thing on the earth? Is it from any library/asset you're using? I've been wanting to make some games with the hex tiled system on a sphere.
Nice game! It gives me a Tron vibe, and tons of fun.
May I suggest another possible way to counter the infinite donut exploit? Maybe make the car slow down when it's touching it's own trail.
And also the car control is too 'Stable' for the theme, maybe increase the slippery-ness?
At first I thought this is just a Chrome browser dinosaur game with fancy graphics and music, but the light randomly turning on and off makes it feels like a completely different game. It's interesting how a single mechanic can make a game feel so different.
Today I learned that you can make games with blender. By the way in the first level I fell because I can't see the gap between two platform, maybe change the lighting or color a bit to make it more visible.
Very cool idea and interesting take to the theme! This is obviously not a complete game yet, but it totally has the potential to become one, once you added more elements to the game, like a goal, and some other factor.
Here's some of my idea (take it if you like it, ignore it if you don't): the goal can be making two body collide and one survive, or making them not separated too far away for x distance. You can even add some new factors like player-generated gravity, or other celestial body passing by.
Not gonna lie, the game got me in the first half :)
Also I really appreciate you put in effort to make a VR version of it. And you nailed the feel of throwing!
One little bug in the end, if the player is not in the origin, the end screen won't be in sight (it does in PC version, not in VR version). Maybe reset player's position after destroying the last piece.
Great job, I like the humor!
This game is not very forgiving. I'd say give the player 3 lives to make it easier.
Also the camera movement is disorienting, if that camera movement and camera shake can be reduced a bit it'll be friendlier to more players.
My favorite was the 3rd ninja-running robot. :)
It very hard to aim with the camera angle, and also the ball being unlit. Another suggestion is to make the explosion smoke semi transparent, so it doesn't block the vision as much.
Gameplay and mechanic is straight forward, and it's really fun. It looks like a game made for mobile, do you consider porting it to mobile platform?
The geiger meter sound was my favorite, it gave me goosebump! The fog and monochrome world made quite an atmosphere. Good job.
Really fun game. The tutorial has too many words, some gifs to show it instead would be better. But I think it's totally acceptable, as you probably ran out of time. This is a game jam after all.
I like the game, it made me want to replay it a few more times. I agree with some comments above, where you die if you stop on top of the water, I was expecting there to be some (physical) fall off time. I've got all the upgrades but there's no ending as the description said. Or do I need to go further to reach the ending? (I went through a portal but there's still no ending)
Amazing game. Big respect for making a VR game in a game jam! I've only encountered 2 VR games so far, and the other one doesn't work on my PC for some reason.
Anyway, this game is very polished. Your sfx and haptics are really on point, which I think is very important for a VR game. The UI is really clean and pretty too.
I hope that there's some way to reinforce the stack, like making a turtle grabbing two turtles if place between them.
I make VR games too so I know how troublesome it is to make a VR game (putting on and taking off the headset while testing is really annoying), so I really appreciate your efforts to making this game. Good job! 244675129_2557755131037917_8596115761652733610_n.jpg
This is so chaotic, I loved it, especially the "I am fine" meme in it. It's a bit unclear what to do in the beginning (intentional? I guess that's what a intern should feel), my suggestion is to highlight the interactable objects.
I got one-shot by the earth defense. 10/10 for the humor on that. I agree with @cppchriscpp, if it's a little bit easier it'll be more enjoyable.
Who keeps undoing my wiring? The music and atmosphere is amazing, but the gameplay is a bit boring. Some enemies plus limited vision would make the game much more terrifying. Considering it's done in only 3 days and it's your first game jam, I'd say it's still a good job!
The art style and music are great, but the gameplay gets repetitive after a certain point. And the stability point has no purpose, it falling to zero has no negative effect, I managed to win the game without using 'Stabilize'.
This is such a chill game. The BGM definitely contributes a lot to the mood. I also like the bloom effect a lot, makes the game looks so cool.
How do you start the game? I tried pressing z and x in the same time, it's not starting at all (both browser and exe).
Nice game, I think you should add a losing condition, like a time limit or something. And I agree that it needs some way to show the soothing progress, it's kinda confusing in the beginning as there's no feedback on that.
Was confusing why the game ends when I was just looking up without doing anything. But the game feels very nice thanks to the nice music and SFX. Really feels like work in real life (in office, not WFH of course)!
Really nice graphics, but my GPU sounds like a helicopter when running the game :). The music is good but it doesn't seems to be fitting the game quite well.
Creative! Some suggestion here: the electron is very hard to click on, not sure if that's intentional. Also, instead of having multiple difficulty levels, I think it's better to increase difficulty overtime.
It doesn't runs on the browser but the window build works fine. As other people said, when the field tip over to the other side it's impossible to recover from it due to lost of vision. My highscore is 2:20! (I kinda forgot you can move things around with the hand in the later stage)
I can't believe I've already spent almost an hour on this game (and it's so difficult). This reminds me of the game Besiege. Btw some music and a little bit of sfx would be make the game much better.
Edit: I just noticed that in the description you mentioned you can rotate parts by [R]. That'll make the game less difficult (still quite hard tho).
This game is so polished, even the itch.io page looks sleek. The audio is great, SFX is on point, the bgm is not intrusive. Graphics and art style is simply amazing. You can even burn your follower for extra power, 10/10 for humor (too). The only thing missing is the tutorial, it's a bit confusing what to do in the beginning. The tips between rounds are useful, but it'll be better if I know them beforehand. Great job!
Sometimes the piles doesn't register correctly. I won in some cases where I shouldn't and I didn't win in some cases where I should. It seems that the bomb is one of the culprit, and also when the bottom pile is not upright.
The art style is great, the game mechanic is creative and interesting, the SFX is on point. Honestly nothing to complain. One tiny confusion: I'm not sure if the physics works properly: sometimes the people falls when I move a little but sometimes they don't even if I move a lot.
Fun game! I like that the car control is unstable too, which match the theme quite well. Also nice SFX, a lot of jam games have music but no SFX. Yours is the other way around. If you could add in some music, the game will feel much better.
A nice take to the 'unstable' theme. The game play is fun but the two containers bug kinda ruins it a bit. The UI is not working well on my Windows machine too (might due to my ultrawide monitor?).

Beelivery by Jejkobb 2023-05-09T20:01:22Z ♥ 2
Great game! So fun that I played it till the end.
Very good level design. The two logs with the horizontal slits checkpoint is the most difficult in my opinion, spent most time on it.
May I suggest some idea? A checkpoint with a really large fan that blows sideway. And a checkpoint with inverted gravity.
Crabload of Shells by mitur 2023-05-07T22:21:29Z ♥ 1
Really fun game. Simple but interesting gameplay, and intuitive controls.
The pixel art and sound effects are pretty good too.
I hope that the game spawns enough required shells around the map, when the crab with requirement appears. The requirement was like 4 red shells and there was only one on the map and I had to wait a while for the rests to spawn.
Some music would be great.
Interstellar Delivery by KudneuS 2023-05-07T17:41:57Z ♥ 1
What I like:
The music and vibe is amazing.
Well done on having different screens (main game screen, maps, etc), and switching between them is quite seamless.
Great UI implementation, I rarely see UI with such complexity (pop up windows, list, etc) done in a game jam, especially that I don't see any obvious bug on the UI.
What could be better:
I'm not an art person, but I believe that for pixel arts, the pixel size should be the same for different objects. For example, if you look at the station and the planet separately, they don't seems to be in a same game.
Gameplay vise it's a bit lacking, you just buy station and ship, and that's all. It would be fine if there's some goal or penalty or timer, which requires the player to plan out their buying/expand strategy.
Food Factory by oscarglo 2023-05-07T16:50:17Z ♥ 1
Good job on the game. Obviously it's missing a lot of stuffs, but I've tried to make a similar game in a jam before and I understand how much work is behind the seemingly easy mechanics, so I really appreciate what you've done here.
COLD CHEDDAR by deadjolly 2023-05-07T15:17:56Z ♥ 3
Might be the best SFX I've seen so far, the engine sounds are top notch. Also the car leaves trails behind? Wow.
It's very hard to control the car, but rewarding to learn.
The 3 slots is an interesting idea, (almost) making the player need to plan out which to deliver first. Why almost? Because there's no map, and which type of customer you meet first is up to luck, their required toppings might or might not match what you're carrying.
The game has a lot in details, but in the grand scheme of things it's missing a lot of components as a game. The gameplay loop itself is not completed in my opinion, there's no game over condition, no goal, no penalty.
Anyway, still a great job on the game. I understand this is a jam game and there will be things that the devs want to implement but didn't have the time to do so.
BALA!!! by DSK 2023-05-07T15:00:21Z ♥ 2
Can't really play the game as I'm using an ultrawide monitor and I assume some buttons are missing on my screen, the game automatically goes full screen and there's no way to make it in windows mode.

Fresh'n Hot by Lulunaria 2023-05-07T14:53:13Z ♥ 0
Pretty cool typing game. A few suggestions here:
The "success" sfx doesn't sound very rewarding. Also if there's some when adding ingredient that'll be great.
There's no penalty for pressing wrong button. I can just face-roll the keyboard a few times and press enter and it's still a success order.
Anyway, still a good concept and fun game nonetheless! Great job!
Delivery City by digital bacon 2023-05-07T14:47:44Z ♥ 1
Was a little bit confused where the locations are, but that's easy to find out after a while as there's not many places. But if you're planning to expand it to a bigger city (as you said in the description), you'll need a map so it's easier to navigate around, especially for new players.
Return To Sender by Aurailus 2023-05-04T20:30:35Z ♥ 1
I got a score of 250. Not sure if it's high or not, but for the next day I try to read the message when you Approve/Deny stuff, and my score went down to 46.

Meowxtape: Delivery by crow_seeds 2023-05-04T19:55:31Z ♥ 1
Got to the end on first try! I'm a talented gamer you know :)
Too bad the game just restarted at that point, was hoping for an ending screen, but that's already a lot of content for a jam game so I guess that's asking too much.
My favorite is "TRY TO LOOK AWAY" "FROM YOUR PHONE", which ironically made me put more attention on the phone. Oh and the "delivered but not read" part too, laughed my ass off.
To: Tony by miraculousMelon 2023-05-04T19:34:44Z ♥ 2
Hi Boss,
I keep getting the same package to Charta via van. I'm 3 hours overtime now and still sorting the packages. Also there's people drawing and writing nonsense on the shipping label, which made them really hard to read.
Best Regards, Tony
LostAndFound by Shiirroo 2023-05-03T19:50:12Z ♥ 0
Nice concept! Game mechanics and controls are intuitive, you just move to the suitcases and then move to the associated passenger. Simple but it works.
Btw I noticed that the passengers are rendered behind the white table. You can change the sorting order in the SpriteRenderer, or simply change the z-height to fix that.

Both LD page and itch link are not working.
Pancakes Won't Wait by SamChen 2023-05-03T19:31:53Z ♥ 2
OMG the sound effects are so funny! It just made the game much more fun. The comic style graphics is also very cool too. Controls are slippery but that actually matches the other parts of the game so well.
It's very hard to find the customers on the large map, maybe some indicator or error would be helpful.
Golden Hour by Tyrannas 2023-05-03T19:22:23Z ♥ 4
Beautiful game! Art style is great, the music and sfx are on point too. Left and Right cannon controls are awkward at times but I guess that's by design, once you get pass the learning curve it's pretty satisfying to hit a ship with those cannons.
I also like the map and spawning infos. The game mechanics are easy, but quite some thinking and planning are required if the player wants to get higher score.
Just one minor suggestion: the font is a bit hard to read, maybe get another font that fits the game theme without sacrificing readability.
Good job!
Galactic Roadside Assistance by SpaceyLake 2023-05-01T20:56:57Z ♥ 1
Not sure what game engine you're using, but windows defender is not liking the exe. Anyway, I ran it, and glad that I did.
A very polished game
Great graphics, decent music and good sfx, intuitive controls, bugless, and I think the game is even ready to be sold on steam. I like the art style, a bit neon brings some futuristic vibe, but not too overwhelming. This game reminds me of Elite Dangerous, there's a group of players named Fuel Rats bringing fuel to people stranded in dozens of systems away.
Some very minor downside
I'm using an ultrawide display, the main menu and UI is a bit off to me. The gameplay is a bit slow, I hope that there's a toggle for the game speed.
Delivery Dungeon by Buni 2023-05-01T17:39:58Z ♥ 1
Well done! There's definitely some part that requires some polishing, but for a compo submission it's already quite decent.
The projectile collision could be better, sometimes they are blocked by the walls even if they're quite some distance away.
The game does speed up later in the game once you get the upgrades, but it is really slow at the beginning. For my second upgrade, the options ranges from 21 to 36 coins, at that time I have to take nearly 10 seconds to get one coin, which translates to about 5 minutes (including travelling through the map) just to progress one upgrade. 5 minutes isn't too long for a proper game, but is definitely too long for a game jam game where ppl don't usually spend much time to play.
Having the "Map" hotkey on M makes sense, but when the player's left hand is on WASD and right hand is on the mouse, it's very awkward to reach it. Perhaps add an alternative binding to the map? For example Q or E or R or F or G or even Crtl or Shift.
Outer Space Snacks by Coro_yy 2023-05-01T17:01:41Z ♥ 2
The game is too hard, maybe that's by design? The spacecraft goes out of control easily, I suggest adding a slight damping to the speed.
Power Delivery by SharpLoaded 2023-05-01T16:52:36Z ♥ 1
Great game and idea! The economy is unbalanced towards the end, as you always have too much currency to spend by then. Also it's impossible to lose the game, it's just a matter of time to win. Maybe instead of making the buildings generate money over time, you get money for once off when the power is connected, so the player will need to plan out the building order.
Some sfx would go a long way. Playing some sound when placing down buildings and connecting them will improve the game feel a lot.
Btw, the game didn't end automatically when I had both city on green, no prompting too.
