Really enjoyed this game. The story and art, effects and music, setting, all of it came together to make a really lovely mysterious and ominous mood. I used the guide for some bits but only because I was pressed for time. Love to see a point and click story game in the jam, excellent work!
Had a tough time as others have said, wish I could have switched modes while paused though it probably wouldn't have helped much. It's a good fit for the theme and a solid game idea, I'd definitely play a post jam version with refined controls and graphics. Great work!
This is great! I'm always impressed by people who can design engaging puzzles in the time constraints of a game jam. With a nice art and polish pass this would be a good candidate for releasing as a full game. Good work!
I really like the aesthetic, low fi, good palette, lots of humor. The actual gameplay wasn't my cup of tea, but it was very well executed and cohesive. Excellent work!
Tooks me a minute to catch on since I somehow overlooked the E key was used for picking up and dropping boxes, felt like it could have been entirely mouse driven and that would have worked well for the main screen. Once I got it though it was fun! The mini games were just right in terms of simplicity and were pretty easy to understand, the instruction text on the 'fixer' mini game was a bit small, and the winder on the string mini game was a little finicky, but good variety between the mini games and great music. Overall great work!
Great game! This is a really good match with the theme and the art and music work well together to set the mood. The timer is pretty aggressive, especially the first couple rounds while working out the interactions. The tutorial text is a little overwhelming, might work better to introduce each block one at a time. I wasn't sure at first whether the constellation stars were supposed to be drawn to match the shapes on the outer corners, might be an interesting variation that's more puzzle like than just requiring quick drawing. One of the zigzag shapes was pretty tight to be able to draw it correctly. There's lots of room for expansion and polish on this, might be a good fit for mobile. Overall really good work!
Decent little game, made it to the win screen. Another enemy shape/behavior or two would make a big difference, but its a good starting point. Nice work!
I can't believe I (eventually) let those poor beer drinking, medical help needing, cheeseburger enjoying kids down, the shame will never depart from me as I contemplate my lost party wizarding credentials.
nice work!
Fun game! The characters are distinct and cute, great theming of the block sliding puzzle mechanics. Really good work!
Really fun game! Simple cute art, great puzzle mechanics and clever puzzle design, attention to detail in the implementation, very good work overall!
Fun game! As others have said, the art style is immediately inviting and it plays very smoothly with good weapon variations and rhythm. Good work!
Solid entry. Good straightforward gameplay, nice appealing art, and thumping music! Very engaging, definitely think this is worth spending post jam time on. Great work!
Excellent entry! The art is delightful, the audio enhances the mood, and the variants of the memory game make something fairly straightforward into something really engaging.
It took me a couple plays to get how to play it for some reason. It's possible I got some boards that didn't have a full sequence in them or something else weird was happening, but regardless it came together eventually and was a lot of fun to play!
Really impressive work here, I think it could be iterated on and released commercially. Well done!
Really interesting entry! Love the concept of planting and harvesting letters to spell commands. Took a little bit to get the hang of what was expected but definitely enjoyed it. Great work!
Really liked this one! The simple art style is very accessible and the user interactions are well thought out. It plays well and allows for some fun strategic thinking. Great work!
Crazy, that was way more chill than it had any right to be. Very nice grass effect, great work!
Had a fun time with this one, cute graphics that really bring out the vegetable violence. The hitbox range felt pretty short at the beginning, making it hard to tell whether I'd be able to hit something without also getting hit. I liked being able to climb the remains of my vanquished foes, that's always nice. Overall really good work!
Super impressive amount of polish on this one. Well made tutorial that wasn't too intrusive but explained things as needed. It was a little buggy in a couple places (wasn't able to replay a level, accidentally restarted the game by resizing the window and since the tutorial state seemed persistent I felt like I missed some important context about choosing items). Eventually I got a handle on how to play and really enjoyed it. Very cohesive and clean art style, there was just enough 'puzzle' involved in interpreting the symptoms and putting together the appropriate ingredients, and a good progression of levels. Really enjoyed it, great work!
Impressive work for a first game jam, lots of polish with the particle effects, screen flashes and such. A little buggy in some places. The 'interact' button didn't seem to work for me, with the chest and the NPC at the beginning for example. The embedded version cut off the UI at the top so it was hard to tell what the active rules were at any given time. All that said, this is really great work and a fun game. Good job!
Funny game. Wish the hit boxes were a little more forgiving for picking up the cookies but was able to manage. Agree with others that more variety in the way the humans appear would be nice. Maybe add arrows on the edge of the screen to show that there are still unfed folks at either end of the belt. Good work!
I really like this game, strategizing about how to prioritize mining versus defense and trying to time the jump are good mechanics and good fit for the theme. One thing that I think could be improved is visual responsiveness to player input. It was really unclear whether my button presses were doing anything. Adding some sort of highly visible indicator when a player presses a button showing if it was 'accepted' or not (ie. yes it launched a ship or no you don't have more ships to launch, and yes it's now prepping for launch) also a more visible indication that the ship is ready for launch and a button press will launch it would be great. All that said, the visuals are great, the audio is moody and fits the game really well. All in all, great work!
\* Replaying now I may have misinterpreted the controls and that it's more automatic than I thought. I do think that this could be a good foundation for a full game though, with more interactions and maybe some mechanics borrowed from something like FTL. Again, really great work!
Great idea and really clever fit for the theme. Enjoyed the gameplay, wished there was some more substantial player art but didn't really take away from the gameplay at all. Had an issue in the first playthrough where it stuck on the loading screen a couple levels in but didn't happen again on reset. Really nice work!
Very clever game, was confused at first because they kept rocking me with +2s but then the secrets of cheating were revealed to me and I was able to confound my enemies into submission. Really enjoyed it, great work!
Fun set of mini games, I think I liked the cabbage catching one the most because of the guy's face. Got all the way to max level and enjoyed it all! Great work!
Really fun game. Surprising how much variety the changes added. Art style was pretty simplistic but audio was good and after getting used to the weight of the controls it was really fun dodging and bonking all those DUMB balls around π± Great work!
Fun game! Really impressive art and cohesive design. Very impressive work, good job!
Very cool. Cute characters and consistent style, clever take on a rhythm game and good fit with the them. Great work!
Nice way to create tension in a game, pulling the player between wanting to climb but having to make sure if something gets past to go back and deal with it before it can hit the gem. Controls were maybe a little more slippery than I'd prefer for the precision expected in jumping but it was fun regardless. Great work!
Fun game. A handful of fun things to interact with and cute graphics. Fun to explore and try to find the quickest ways around the map. Bonus points for squid based grappling hook π¦
Really fun game. Impressed by the variety of powerups. The graphics are great too. Great game and nice work!
Lots of juice for a small compo game! The screenshake and particle effects, along with the rocking of the boat really sell it. Took a couple rounds to get the feel for it but once I established a rhythm it went pretty smoothly. I think the spawn point on the far right ended up being the most trouble for me, and the delay between when the warning indicator disappears and when the enemy cannonball arrives seemed a little hard to get the timed correctly. All in all really enjoyed it, great work!
Agreed with others here that it's a good take on the theme and a fun concept to base a game around. Lots of opportunities for humor, interesting interactions and entertaining content. Really enjoyed it!
Very well made game. Pixel art is lovely, and the gameplay is engaging, really enjoyed it!
Pulled in immediately by the art. Really cohesive and polished style, great work! The gameplay was fun too, timing things right to get past the obstacles was engaging throughout. I got stuck a couple times because I was clumsy but always wanted to give it one more try. Nice job!
Good art style and audio. The movement was a little floaty and there were a couple times when the player got stuck moving backwards for a little bit, but it wasn't too much of a problem. The missiles that drop were packed tight and it was hard to reliably dodge sometimes. Overall it was a good first entry, keep making more!
Wish there would have been music in the background but it got kind of hypnotic with the gun sound rhythm. Nicely challenging little game, good work!
The mushrooms tried to get away, but they couldn't escape. Wish I could have opened the chests and not sure if the coins could be used for anything, but I enjoyed slashing mushrooms for a while. Good work!
Was a tough game at first because I was trying to play it like a bullet hell, but slowing down and taking careful aim ended up working much better. Wish there was some additional information on screen like a life total or number of collected orbs or timer for the tides but it didn't detract from the game. Enjoyed it, great work!
Nice game. The art is really well done and the keeping the game alive by harvesting the fireflies to plant spawn points is clever use of the theme. Good work! π
Great sketchy art style, and music too, really endearing and well done. The game itself seems very hard, but I still tried it over and over. Always felt like I was just a little short on time (but that's the theme, so *shrug*) Overall very polished game, great work!
Fun game! Wasn't sure how to interact with the blobs at first but then bonking into it worked like a charm. The arrow pattern matching game was well made. The sound effects and particles when arrows are typed are very satisfying. Great work!
To the moon!!! π Nice work!
Pretty funny game, good art style and very goofy avatar. Enjoyed it, nice work!
Super cute game! The art was just perfect and the gameplay was straightforward and the controls were enjoyable. Really great work!
Fun game, fits the theme very well, fun art style, some strategic planning involved. Really enjoyed it, nice work!
Really good graphics and overall art style, building the gun tower was pretty funny. Great work!
Fun little game, for whatever reason the checkboxes threw me completely off the first time through. Made it to just short of 50 years, no idea how people are able to get higher than that, completely nuts. Good work!
The lava effect was nice and the pixel art style is is pretty good but beyond placing a ton of the little structures wherever I could I wasn't sure what else to do. That's lava for you though, inevitable π Made it to just short of 3 minutes. Nice work!
Agreed with others here that telling the player that left click triggers the sword attack would be helpful, but all things considered the art and sound are really great and it'd be cool to finish it up (maybe use the 'extra' jam format to put some additional time in it?) Would love to see a more finished version!
Had some real difficulty with the controls. Acceleration didn't seem to be doing anything. I wonder if the gamepad might have been problematic (PS4 dual shock, it was recognized in the settings for what that's worth).
After giving up on the gamepad I tried the keyboard a couple times and at first it seemed like the same thing was happening where up arrow didn't accelerate, but eventually I realized that I was moving forward it just didn't seem like it because the beginning of the track is straight with nothing else on screen for a little bit. Maybe add a turret or some decoration next to the starting point to more clearly indicate when the player is moving at the beginning?
Eventually I got going and it was entertaining but it was really easy to get the camera kind of out of sync with the car. All things considered I really like the style and wanted to play more of it but the controls were too tricky. Maybe adding a simpler control scheme would be worth doing. Regardless, very impressive to make an SDL game from scratch for a jam, nice work!
Nice game, cute art style. Boxes got a bit stuck sometimes when they sat off an edge but it was a pretty minor hassle, wish the boxes could be pulled out from underneath each other. Ran into some sort of bug where the water never started rising when the game lost focus at the point when the water first appears, but I was just able to restart so no big deal. Very glad that there were checkpoints :)
What a lovely little game. The layout was really cohesive between the event notifications, the map and the buttons. The ascii art was very soothing with the color scheme and lighting. Wish there was audio but really enjoyed it regardless. Nice work!
Really great game! It took a playthrough before the mechanic clicked, having the 'story' text play automatically at least once could be a good adjustment. The art was well done and tie everything together thematically. The gameplay mechanics were engaging and allowed for a bit of strategy. It fit the jam theme very well and even snuck in some psychological analysis. Nice work!
Fun game, the art and music make it really engaging. There was a strategic element to the placement of the vegetables and it was easy to get into a rhythm with it. Great work!
Really enjoyed the game. The rhythmic breathing cultivates a calm attitude and having the player control the breath made it even more directly engaging. The way that calm attitude shifts over the course of the game as the oxygen runs out is very interesting. Love how the breathing controls are explained at the beginning. Only thing I can really suggest would be having a couple tanks scattered around to trigger a little hope in the player. Very good work all around!
What a great game! The graphics are great, the audio is great, the story is a great fit with the theme, everything comes together to fit the bleak mood. Really enjoyed this, nice work!
City sims are always a good time and this one was fun too. Really liked the isometric pixel style, great work!
Fun game! Solid take on the theme, cute graphics, tons of bullets, what's not to like? Really enjoyed this, great work!
Super fun game! The car handling was really satisfying once I got a feel for it, and the story was pretty funny. Great work!
Great game! The first striking thing is that the game background matches seamlessly with the page background, it produces a really cool effect. While watching the intro scene I wasn't sure what the gameplay would be like and it felt like playing a bunch of mini-games was a perfect fit. All of them were clever and well implemented with good graphics and sound. The minesweeper one was particularly intimidating the first time through but it ended up not being too rough. Really impressive work all around, nice job!
Great game! Very interesting twist on tetris style gameplay and the cute graphics fit it perfectly. Really great work!
What an incredibly good game! It has simple but compelling gameplay. It was immediately clear how to play even without the simple but effective instructions. The graphics were perfect for the style of game, and the audio track fit the mood very well. This could be a perfect candidate for turning into a mobile game. I played until I got all the upgrades, best combo was 35. Great work!
Very good game, really enjoyed it. Solid FPS, impressive that it was put together in a jam timeframe. Good set of weapons, nice variety in levels, cool chunky low res art style, overall really great work!
Great game! Agree with others that the restart time could be quicker since I died quite a lot, but the game itself was fun to play, had a slick aesthetic style, good audio and cool effects. Very good work!
Oh god, I looked in the DONT_LOOK folder and now I'm permanently on fire! Great work, very unique and goofy.
Hacked the planet and all I got was these lousy fleas. Great work!
Really makes you think
Fun game, nice lo fi aesthetic and good music. Wish there were sound effects for the stomps and platforms breaking, but it didn't detract too much. It got tough when the platforms changed to jaunty angles but was still able to get through. Great work!
Amazingly good game! Extremely impressed with how intuitive the gameplay is, no explicit tutorials or explanation of controls or gameplay yet it just makes sense. It has really excellent design in all regards, gameplay, visual aesthetic, ominous moody audio, it's all so well packaged. Even it had just been the basic gameplay without the additional time pressure it would still be great. I honestly can't think of anything to nitpick or improve. Best game I've played so far, great work!
Fun game, was a bit confused about how the cards and hand worked at first, but got it sorted out. Nice work building a card game in a jam, the art and effects are good, and the music is really good for the mood of the game. Great work!
Nice environment and art, good music, chill vibe. Wish there was a mode with lots more stones, but enjoyed it nonetheless. The web version did load eventually, but I just downloaded the standalone version and it worked without any problems. Great work!
Good game, interesting but manageable movement patterns on the platforms. I think I did decently but hard to be sure without a timer or distance counter of some sort like others have said. A jump would be a good addition too, and would open up platform shapes and movement patterns even more. Enjoyed it, good work!
Cute art on top of a frantic little set of mini games. Definitely lost a couple times before I got a feel for how to operate everything, but enjoyed it. Great work!
Great game, moody and atmospheric, with thoughtful level design. Nice idea to build the user interface elements right into the game world instead of being a separate menu. A post jam version with some improvements like respawning moth balls and gamepad support would be great. Really enjoyed it, good work!
What a cool game! Not only is the parts-attaching mechanic fun to see in a shooter like this, the art style is super cute and juicy too. My only minor complaint is that it's tricky to get a part attached sometimes. Really great work here, hope you expand on it!
Don't have someone else handy at the moment to try 2-player, but enjoyed the training mode for a bit. The art style is nice, the interactions are good but could maybe be juiced up a bit more. It's a good prototype for a couch competition game. Great work!
Very nice art, really solid work on that. Was pretty confused about how to play though, it could use some additional instructions. I really think the characters and environment could flesh out into a solid game. Good work!
Fun game with really nice slick art and a good gameplay hook. I never really got to the point where I felt like I could stay alive for very long, but I had a couple good setups, best I got to was 9 points though. Gonna try more later. Great work!
Really wanted to play this one, the art looks top notch, but I couldn't control it properly. Keyboard only moved in one direction and ps4 gamepad didn't seem to be recognized? Also it launched steam vr unexpectedly, so maybe that had something to do with it. Hope it gets an update because it looks really nice.
Really enjoyed this more than I expected to. It's a simple concept with cute execution but it was really satisfying to block the cannonballs. With some puzzle design work this could be a great mobile game. Great work!
Tough game, seemed like I had to constantly be feeding everyone but I might have misunderstood. Fun picking up and tossing stuff around. So sad for those poor monsters that I collapsed a house on. Great work!
Really liked the art style, the gameplay was fun but the jumps could probably be faster. There was a lot of trial and error, especially when getting the hang of when to jump on/off of a moving platform. I agree with tattomoosa that it would help to have a visual indication on top of that the falling platforms, more than just the half thickness. Great work!
Tough game, took a bit to get the hang of the controls but once I got a feel for it things went good. Once you get into the flow of things it was a fun little experience. Great work!
Very nice graphical style, interesting mechanic, a little tough to be sure I was where I wanted to be (same issue as platforming in an fps). Overall very cohesive, fun, and challenging game, great work!
Nice variant on tetris, a bit tricky to time jumps well sometimes but it's fun to try to figure out a good way to arrange the pieces to make the jumps as easy as possible. Was tough sometimes to get the piece to land where I wanted it but it was easy to pick up and retry. Great work!
Good spooky atmosphere. The footsteps were like a beating heart. Wish there had been some powerups or something so it wouldn't always take five hits to beat the static people the whole way through. In the end, I succumbed to the pipeline. Great work!
Nice work! Liked the character styles and gameplay. The attack may have been a little slow, but it worked fine, puts it on the player to commit to a swing. Would have been interesting to have some powerups and music, but this is still a great entry. Good job!
This is amazing! What a great game, can't believe it was made in the jam deadline, so impressive! Very fun art style, the audio really punctuates the mood, the story has depth, and there's a good balance between finding items and figuring out what to do with them. Only really got stuck for a bit figuring out how to get into the bathroom. Love how the game takes a turn towards the end and the mood pivots on a dime, then twists again at the very end.
Extra points for the photo gallery and references to the creators (plus the star wars figures on the bookshelf, surprised they're recognizable in so few pixels)!
Really very impressive work, great job!
Great game! Fun take on the theme and a pretty solid implementation with some nice audio and graphics. My only real complaint is that the controls were a bit slippery so it got tough when there were more of the negative mood clouds around. I'm pretty bad at racers so only managed subconscious depth 7 with 4265 mindfulness cultivated, but enjoyed it a lot. Good work!
Nice game! Cool puzzle mechanic. I did manage to get into a state where I could control two bodies at the same time which made it tricky, but enjoyed it nonetheless. Great work!
Really cool game, fun to just sit back and watch. Tried to figure out what the cost benefit was to just charging straight down as fast as possible vs building up and didn't really get a good feel for it. Managed to make it to level 26 in about 30 minutes and had a good time. Great work!
Fun idea, got a little frustrated with the slippery movement and the fact that the bats didn't always give you hearts if you caught them, but it's a good game with a fun take on the theme. Great work!
Was very confused at first about where the cash was, but figured it out eventually. Maybe a post-submission update to fix the texture :) Wasn't entirely sure about what my depth limits were and died a couple times because I couldn't ascend quickly enough once I noticed I was taking damage. Overall good graphics, good take on the theme, a little on the slow side but it seemed to fit the mood with the music and such. Great work!
Neat game, a puzzle platformer where the puzzle is searching out the exit to a maze. Liked the simple cute art style, good audio, nice bloom sort of effects. The controls were a little finicky sometimes, but it wasn't too bad. As far as suggestions, I agree that having the camera lerp towards the player position would probably be nice, but also some zoom effects, particles, and maybe screen shake could have a pretty big impact. Nice work!
Very chill clicker game, pretty straightforward early on, but progresses nicely. Balancing in clickers is notoriously hard, so kudos for putting one together in a tight timeline and making it complete. Could be the foundation of a nice mobile game. Great job!
Cool idea, took a little bit to figure out how to play, but it made sense after the first drop. Also had some difficulty figuring out how to split the different between recharging and gaining money, but figured that out too. Good take on the theme with a clever interpretation for gameplay. Nice work!
What a great game. Just brilliant. I'm not really a fan of playing masochistic games like getting over it (though watching them is a different story) but the art style and humor in this one puts it over the top. As others have pointed out, how the different sword lengths impact the path through each section is really clever. Great work overall, it'll be a travesty if this doesn't win in at least a category or two.
Great work! The main menu music set a good hype level to start things off with. Thought it could have been a good track for the main gameplay music too, but that music got the job done even though it was pretty short.
Didn't really understand what the different pickups were doing for me, but it was very clear what should be picked up versus what should be avoided. Definitely caught on to the progress meter for depth, but not really the other two progress bars. Maybe a small icon over each one could have helped clear it up?
All things considered it's a fun game that's well implemented and could be the base for a simple mobile game if you wanted to expand on it. Made it just past the halfway mark on my first playthrough. Really nice job! :D
Clever take on the theme, going deeper and a magical trance. Gameplay is a bit simplistic, but gets the job done. Got the magician fully into trance but couldn't figure out how to wake him up even with the TV on and the wolf howling. Good work overall!
Funny theme for an RTS style game. Cracked me up a bit that the tutorial text just piles up if not dismissed. Took a little bit to understand the interactions but shows promise. Good work overall, I got that tasty golden banana.
I was so confused at first because it seemed like there wasn't enough room to get past the first pair of spikes during the transition... then I realized that I could jump π€¦
Agree with some other comments about checkpoints, it's frustrating to start all the way back at the beginning when I fumble a jump, but execution was decent otherwise, good concept, fit the theme, relaxing but spooky music. Good work overall!
Got a couple good chuckles, enjoyed my conversations with death, made a snek friend, what's not to like? Good work!
This game is amazing, only really got hung up on one level but got past it with a little perseverance. Fully realized play mechanics, good fit to the theme, lots of clever puzzles, good difficulty ramp up, great visual style, fitting sound effects. Really this is the total package, just outstanding work!
Impressive game, I'm terrible at rhythm games but enjoyed playing it. Great animations, good controls, really great work overall!
Really enjoyed this. Expanding out into the new areas was satisfying, the audio was great, and it all pulled together into nice spooky package. Great work!
What an incredible entry! There was just enough ramp up to get mostly used to the controls before things got real in the village. Loved the art, the music was good, the sound effects were fitting, and the concept is inventive. Really great work overall!
This is hilarious, loved it. Short and sweet, but very punchy. Played it on the web for convenience, but the android version probably works much better for input. Great work!
Extremely hard, but straightforward, easy to understand, and does not disappoint. Wish I would have made it farther but I just don't care enough about the children apparently πΈ
This was surprisingly fun. The music really kept things moving through the circus phase, and the forest art was very pretty. Happy to have found my rabbit family at the end. Great work :)
Wish it was hosted somewhere to make it easier to play
Whoever was in charge of polishing surfaces in this place deserves a raise :) Very atmospheric, good audio that fits the mood, the visuals reminded me of some parts of the movie Sunshine. I also had a crash before I could open the engine door which was a bummer. Overall great work!
Fun game, tough though. First time those buggers jumped out of the way of my shot there was a lot of cursing. Adding an option to change the toughness of the planet might be good. Also, starting out with just two rings and progressively adding more after clearing waves could make for interesting progression. Good work!
I liked the charging mechanic. Had a good mood that was added to by managing whether the axe was holstered. Great work!
lol @ jesus the tf2 medic wizard. Played it all the way through and had fun, big jump in damage a couple levels in but was able to power through it. My only real issues were that characters would go off on their own sometimes and that the characters were drawn underneath the final boss so it was hard to see where to click for healing. Fun game, great work!
Wow, pretty impressive entry. Didn't expect to see rhythm games in this theme. I'm generally pretty bad at these sort of games, but I enjoyed it regardless. Nice work!
Even though the visuals were relatively simplistic, they all came together extremely well to make a great overall aesthetic. The text was entertaining too, with a couple laugh out loud moments. Great work!
What a great game! Always love to see such fully fleshed out and good looking games during the jam. This could easily be adapted to mobile and expanded to be a full game. Really nice job!
Really good art style, wasn't entirely sure what was going on, but it was fun to run around and blast some light while hanging out with some deer. Great work!
Played it all the way through. At the end I was like, 'of course there's an elephant' :) really fun game, great work!
Liked the art style, with the fuzzed out glowing and darkness. Had a tough time actually killing anything, and luckily I had my volume relatively low when I ran into the first screamy boi :) Good work!
Really nice work, well implemented mechanic for a first game. Spending some additional time fine tuning the movement would add a lot. Good job!
Nice work! Chill little game, simple but engaging. Really enjoyed it, thanks!
Great game, loved the art style, the simple chunky pixel ships and glowey lasers are really well done. Having a cooldown meter for shooting and keeping the player from going offscreen could be good additions. A little way into the game having no cooldown on the gun probably would have been fine. Great work overall!
Really enjoyed this. There was a bit of a flicker sometimes when in fullscreen, but could have just been my computer. Nice graphics, achievable but challenging, made it to 6am with 84% party points! Great work!
Figured out the controls after a couple rounds, was confused why I was losing at first without being killed, and only then noticed the health bar on the lower player. Adding some variety to the building height and having the escorted bean switch to the roofs sometimes would make a big difference. Nice work!
Liked the graphics a lot, but wished that swinging the torch to ward off the monsters had a larger range. It was pretty easy to get overwhelmed by getting the swing timing wrong. That said, it's a good fit for the theme and a solid mechanic. Great work!
Neat game, good art style, Really liked the particle effect after hitting a zombie where they break into bits. Chuckled the first time I picked up a comically oversized wrench, chuckled more at adding other random crap onto it, then chuckled yet more when I picked up a fish and started smacking zombies with it. Nice work!
I like the art style, but was super confused whether I was actually playing the game or not since the menu stayed up the whole time.
Really good UI work with the tweening and all, love the art style and music. Wish the text were a little bigger for descriptions, but that's a nitpick. Really bummed out that I had to start all the way back at the beginning after dying on the second boss. All things considered, this is a really great game. Some additional polish and tuning would put it over the top. Excellent work!
Pretty funny graphics, and neat idea to start from nothing and build up a bike, but damn it was just so hard to deal with the turns in this game. Overall impressive work for a jam tho, well done!
Great game, but I think the controls could be tweaked a bit. Rather than having the 'shoot' and 'trigger powerup' both be the same button, shooting would probably be better with left mouse. Having mouse wheel scroll the active powerup could be a good change too. All that said, I really enjoyed the game, the visuals were great, the special effects were flashy and pretty, the powerups were well thought through, and the game had a real cohesive style to it. Really great work overall!
Cool game, I tend to like these click puzzle type games an this was a great one. Loved how things expanded out, adding sound and color through interactions. Great work!
Cool game, impressive scope for the jam timeline but you pulled it off. Great work!
Nice work! The only real complaint I have is that it wasn't always clear what could be interacted with... oh and the walking was painfully slow with the suit on. That said, I played it all the way through and enjoyed it, so nitpicks aside, well done!
Liked how the powerups were portrayed and really tied up with the player character as a mouse... tail for rotate, spring for jump, and so on.... Cute how the timer was a windup mechanism. My main issue was that the walls got in the way of seeing stuff sometimes, but its a minor nitpick. Great work!
Simple yet satisfying, got confused once the reverse move stuff came in, but really enjoyed the simple art and sounds, it all fit together really nicely. Great work!
Not sure what it was about it, but I really liked to art style here. Nice ambient soundtrack, fun to move around, didn't have any performance issues in the browser. Great work overall!
Pretty cool game, wasn't entirely sure what I was doing, but managed to collect several of the golden corncobs in each room :) Really liked the art style, good particle effects, nice music. Great work!
Nice game, took a couple playthroughs to wrap my head around it, but enjoyed the puzzle aspect of it. Great work!
Great game, but holy crap its tough... Wasn't really clear at first how to trigger the special abilities though I eventually figured it out. Really enjoyed the particle effects and how the audio was linked with the switches. Great work, could make for an interesting mobile game!
Nice little game, very atmospheric with audio and story. Good work!
Interesting take on the theme, starting with nothing as far as information goes. Great art, dialogue, and audio. Its a really cohesive entry, excellent work!
lol @ the description... Accidentally (?) dropped in the river... what a sinister undertone that simple question mark gives to the game. Cute graphics too, loved the bobble head, gruesome fatality animation on death too. Great work!
Interesting game, wish there was more indications about when you're interacting with things. At first I didn't know that moving towards the door was doing anything and just surrendered in the first room. It started to come together on subsequent playthroughs though. Cool level transitions and glad it restarted on the level I got caught in rather than starting from the beginning each time Wish there was some audio, but that's a minor nitpick. Good work overall!
Just so so impressive! So amazing what you're able to pull together for a compo game, great work as always. Really enjoyed it!
I got like 5 minutes in before I realized that I could just hold down left mouse to collect stuff... It would be helpful to have a counter for how much you've collected. And then it was another couple minutes before I realized I could move the set pieces. Not sure whether I can shrink down the funnels, but they really filled up the whole screen pretty quickly. I certainly enjoyed it but it would have been helpful to have more detailed instructions. Good work overall!
lol @ 'dead mage, steal his robe' This is a great game, the only suggestion I have is that the delay of shooting the fireball makes it a little rough, its hard to shoot the fireball then run out of the way of incoming stuff. Pretty impressive graphics and fleshed out world. Wish there was audio but really enjoyed it regardless! Great work!
What a clever little puzzle game! Had a hard time working some of them out, but really enjoyed the concept and its a good implementation. Great work!
Excellent work, the art style is fantastic, the audio fits the aesthetic perfectly, its relaxing and self-contained and just a great experience overall. Really great job here, loved it!
Agreed with some of the other comments in here, the simplicity and time limit really added to the game. It took me a little bit to figure out what the point of changing between the different tools was (originally thought that I was missing a 'use' key or something), but it's a nice simple game that I played all the way through. Landed on 200 points. Great work!
Had a hard time with the mouse view controls, and the very aggressive tanks that just swarmed relentlessly were a little rough, but the graphics and visual / audio ambiance were great. Nice work!
Really enjoyed this, it was a more interesting puzzle than I expected at first and ending with the gradient timeline is a great way to reflect on the different strategies that people take while providing a personalized relic for a playthrough for the player to keep. I'd love to play an updated version of this that includes some interesting audio mechanics as well. Great work!
This is a really great game! The fact that there are so many unique things to spell really makes the game, I played this way longer than I expected to. Nice work!
Solid tower defense city builder, impressive work for a weekend, and would probably be worthwhile to continue building on. Great work!
Interesting game, thought it would be a straight text adventure at first, then was pleasantly surprised by the graphics. Its a nice interactive short story, great work!
Agree with the other comments here, its a very cohesive atmosphere, with art and sound and story piecing together nicely. It's a bit nitpicky, but I wish wasd would have worked for movement as an alternative to arrow keys, but it wasn't really a problem. Great work!
Way to make both a topical and thematic game, great art style, upbeat mood. Really nailed it, great work!
Nice work, it's a little on the tough side (I had a hard time getting past level 3 after several attempts). Cute art style, overall a decent little missile command-like!
This is a really solid game, good take on the theme, creative cohesive art style, excellent music that fits the pace of the game very well. Great work overall!
Really great game, cohesive art, entertaining dialogue, fitting music, pretty obvious how to play. I liked it a lot!
Fun game! The timing / hitboxes took a little getting used to, but really liked the art style, and the sound meshed pretty well too. Great job!
What a solid mix of art and audio. The writing was great too. I never really figured out what factors impact whether a certain stat goes up or down, but it was enjoyable regardless. Really great work!
Really liked this one. The only thing I can think to nitpick is that its tricky to deal with offscreen enemies, and with the cramped spaces and fast projectiles, its a bit tough to dodge. Regardless, the art quality is simple and clean, with nice effects and fitting audio. The crt distortion is really fitting too. Great work!
Really liked it! It has a simple, clean art style, intuitive gameplay, a bit of strategy in building placement, and a more polished progression that I would have expected from a jam game. All within compo limitations too. Very impressive work!
Pretty fun game, nice mix between action shooting, tower defense, and lane defense games. Impressive variety in enemies and trap types for a jam game, and great graphics to boot. Excellent work!
Love this game, played at least a dozen rounds and will absolutely be coming back to it. High marks all around!
Nice work! It's a good take on the theme with decent graphics (loved the hair when you fall), great job!
Excellent work, very good fit for a tough theme, great graphics, fitting music, interesting gameplay... really great job overall!
Took a little while to figure out how to move where I wanted to go, but all things considered it's a nice little game with decent graphics and cute sounds effects. Nice work!
Good game, thought it'd be pretty straightforward after getting the first door open, but the tension of the self-imposed handicaps, especially the battery timer, made for an effective puzzle. Good art style too, nice work overall!
No idea what was going on, but super fun regardless. Played this one for way longer than I expected to, made it five seasons in. Simple art style, lots of juice, and just plain fun to play. Great work!
Very nice work! Good level design, an impressive number of levels for a jam game, and a nice art style with excellent backgrounds. I especially liked that the player moves faster as they shed slime, and slips on their own slime, both choices made for some interesting and unexpected gameplay. With a bunch of polish and more levels this could make for a good full game. Great job!
This game is so silly, I love it. great take on the theme, unique and weird, cohesive art, audio, and gameplay. Excellent work overall!
What a great, solid game. The mechanic is simple and the implementation is pretty much perfect. The art style and the audio design mesh really well. The interface and puzzle elements are intuitive. Excellent work!
Nice job, good take on the theme with the randomized building shapes. The graphics are pretty solid too. This could make for an interesting mobile game. Great work!
Very cool game! Simple mechanics with an interesting take on the theme. We did something similar as a simple turn-based strategy. I liked the ability to collect the tiles that are about to drop out if you're fast enough. The art style was very fitting for the gameplay and the sounds were nice, but I wish there was music! Great work overall!
What a great game! The art style is cohesive and excellent and the audio design meshes with it perfectly. The music is just the right mix between relaxing and concentrating. The tutorial gameplay is pretty clear right away just based on the colors and textures for the various things to be collected / avoided. One tiny quibble is the back arrow on the game screen. I got a good ways in my first playthrough (~18k points) and thought clicking it might take me to a shop or something, only to lose my progress. Kudos though, it's a really solid entry and could be a good standalone game if expanded on!
I liked this game a lot. The clay art style drew me in and once I got the gist of the game it was surprisingly fun for such a simple set of mechanics. There were a couple times when it seemed like I couldn't restore a room even though I had enough bricks, but it was never a significant problem as something else would always appear to deal with. It would be nice to have some sort of stats tracked, number of shots, number of rooms lost / fixed / restored, number of monsters killed, etc... Good work all around!
Fun game, I'm a sucker for Tetris Attack style games, so this was right up my alley.
Linking the matching game to the various ship systems is an interesting choice. It adds an extra layer of strategy to a standard tile matching mechanic, but I wonder if some different tile images would help decipher things at a glance more easily. Like weapons could be a little missile, and shields could be a little semi-transparent circle, and speed could be green chevrons like >>>, etc... Then the player wouldn't need to refer back to the 'key' as often to make choices.
Also, I found myself focusing in so much on the matching, that I couldn't watch the action with the ships in the top section. Not sure how to address that though, I probably just need to git gud.
There's a lot of promise in this if it gets some further polish and enhancements. Great work!
Really like the art style and level of polish on this game. Interesting take on the theme too. Great work!
Really like the art style and music. It was rough that getting hit didn't give you any temporary invincibility and move you away from the enemy. I died several times just by not being able to get out from under an enemy quickly enough. Regardless though, it's a really solid entry. Great work!
Fun little game, or rather bunch of games! Really enjoyed the art style and the variety. The timer was tight pretty much every time. Pretty impressive take on the theme too, lots of different ways to rearrange space. Great work overall!
This is a really good game! Mixing snake with a platformer makes for some really interesting mechanics. Along with the simple and clear art style and nice choice of colors, it's really enjoyable! Wish there were some sound effects and music, but this is quite excellent regardless! Great work!
Water a super weird little game. Great music and cute pixel style. Nice work!
Fun game! Really enjoyed the voxel style, and the lighting was great. Solid soundtrack and sound effects too. I made it to level 8 and died because I got greedy. Great work overall!
Impressively thorough tutorial with some solid Hitchhiker's Guide humor in there. Quite nice graphics too, great work!
Good take on the theme, simple and clean aesthetic, intuitive controls. Great work on this game! (even though I'm terrible at it)
Fun game! Didn't notice that you could shoot the first time I played through, so it was an accidental pacifist run for about 28,000 points. Great work!
Nice platformer, had a tough time with the low angle of the jump, but eventually got used to it. Great work!
This is a great little game. Sokoban with a time constraint, a story, and charming art. Very good work!
Quite a silly game, very chaotic but cute and quick enough to keep trying. Great work!
Wow, really impressive work! Solid graphical style, a good feeling of speed, it really pulls the player in. Made it to nearly 700. Great job!
Super good game! Lots of polish, clever pixelated and dithered art style, different weapon type pickups, different enemy types. Solid implementation. Really nice work all around!
Nice work, it reminds me a bit of Fidel. Solid little puzzle with a good take on the theme. Great job!
What a surprisingly compelling little game. The artwork was charming. The music was fitting. There were a couple subtle little effects that added a lot, like the zoom and vignette when in a cave or when the jetpack fires for a while. Plus the ending launch scene was great! Beat it on the first try with 14k points. Great work!
Neat idea, had a really hard time with the controls though. Nice work on the audio and music too, good job!
What a great entry! This is so polished and cohesive. I'm still not sure if the player can throw punches in the boxing section. I liked how experimentation was needed to figure out how to fix up various injuries. Super impressive, great work!
I dominated. Nice game, good art and gameplay. Great work!
Cute little game, pretty tough though. It wasn't clear to me when the cards would get used up and replaced. Some further polishing and this could make a fun mobile game. Great work!
Super great game! Good gameplay idea, solid implementation, quick and simple with cute art and sounds. We had a take on take on mini-golf in our entry too and the control difference is interesting. We don't pause enemies when you pickup the ball to aim, and we had tank controls rather than normal WASD. Cool to play the differences. Very nice work!
What a cool game, great entry! Good graphics, fun and intuitive gameplay, solid ai. Pretty amazing job!
Nice game, good art style and puzzles. The controls could be smoothed out a bit, but it's well made and fun to figure out. Great work!
Interesting little game. The controls could be refined a bit, but it was fun to play. Great work!
Fun game, I was wondering at first how it would maintain difficulty as the number of blocks gets reduced and increasing the length of the words was a good solution. Collisions did get a bit bugged out as I progressed and eventually it was just going through the paddles all the time and I had to stop, but it was fun while it lasted. Good work!
Fun game with a nice simple aesthetic. Had some trouble with the perspective around the jumps, but it was still fun. Nice work!
Pretty cool puzzle mechanic mixed with the story elements. Failed the first time but got it the second time around. Great work!
Very cute game, played up past $700, but it didn't seem like there much more to it after that point. Some additional mechanics could keep this going for a while. Great art and general mood. Good work!
Interesting gameplay, cute presentation. A little polish and bug fixing could make for a decent mobile game. Great work!
Wow... that second game turned dark. Nice work!
A bit hard to deal with the player movement speed, but a neat idea and decent graphics. Good work!
Played that way longer than I expected to. Some extra levels would be a great edition. Very nice work!
Good game! The turn based spell casting takes some getting used to, and it felt tough to deal with enemies sometimes, but the artwork is great and it's fun to play. Wish there was some sound to enhance the mood. Great work!
Interesting combination of gameplay elements. Really like the art style and audio too. Pretty amazing for a compo game, great work!
I didn't really have a problem with the controls as others have, but having only one hit per run and going back to the beginning each time was rough. Checkpoints would probably help. Regardless, the art and music are good and they fit together well. It is an interesting set of games to combine and could make for something pretty cool if you decide to continue work on it. Great job!
Gorgeous game, very charming. Everything fits together into such a nice cohesive experience. Very well done!
Super great game! Very cute art style, fitting sound effects, a catchy tune to rhythm along with, and some good humor in the dialogue. The only criticism I can think of is that there's no setback for just repeatedly hitting Z really fast, but for a jam game that's hardly any criticism at all. Amazing work here, great job!
This is a great entry, it's very polished and has a nice graphical style. Cool design decision to make the movement be a longer string when enemies are on screen. It could be interesting to have a mode where the direction keys are the same each time so that movement is faster. Overall it's a great game and a fantastic compo entry! Awesome work!
Nice art style but the movement was pretty frustrating... The player can't move on the diagonal but the bandits can. They deserved every last punching they got!
Super great game! Cute, fun, and lighthearted. Beat it with full happiness and trust, nearly full health and about half food. Nice work!
Nice graphical style and good strategic gameplay. Very good work overall!
Wonderful game, it feels very complete and polished. Can't think of any suggestions to improve, it's solid all the way through! Great work!
What a super interesting game, very unique! The art style was really nice and the gameplay mechanics were implemented well with good keyboard controls. Really enjoyed this, great work!
Super cool concept and execution. The sound effects volume could be a bit lower and some music could do a lot to deepen the mood. Really liked the style and the strategic gameplay was interesting. Great work!
Nice idea and solid implementation. Adding some illustrations would be a great improvement, and some music could really help set the mood, but all things considered this is a great compo entry. Good work!
That's a great little game. Super silly, I really enjoyed it! I agree with others that this should be improved on, more levels other types of things to place, refined controls. Great work overall!
Really fantastic art style. I wish the hit boxes on the enemies were a little smaller. The way that the puzzles make you split your attention is interesting. Great work!
Super fun game with great integration with the soundtrack. Excellent visual style and interesting gameplay. The only frustration was not being able to quick restart straight from the keyboard. Space key to restart would be perfect. This game is like a synthwave version of Thumper, you should absolutely keep working on it. Great job!
Really good take on the theme, the description and screenshots cracked me up. The gameplay could be expanded but the art was on point. Great work!
Interesting mashup of those genres. The art is really nice and the music adds a lot to the mood. Great job!
Hope you finish this off, the art style is just perfect and even in the unfinished state it was enjoyable. The player could move a bit faster and maybe be able to shoot up and down too? Really liked what's there, great work!
That was way more compelling than I expected it to be. A little bit of user interface convenience would go a long way on this game. Instead of having to drag each item out before putting a new one in, just swapping them would probably make the game feel a lot nicer even if it would be quicker to get through. The art style and simplicity of the game works really well. Great work!
What a fantastic entry! The attention to detail and cohesiveness of the game are impressive. Loved the color choices, art style, and audio. Great genre picks to mashup. Controller sensitivity and camera zoom level options would be great additions. The game over screen cracked me up. Very nice work!
Nice game, the art style is pretty nice and the choice of perspective is interesting. Took a little while to get the feel for it, and sometimes it felt a little off, but I couldn't tell if it was me or the game. Great work!
Very cool chess game, the graphics are great and the design take on the different types of chess pieces is on point. The puzzles were tricky but not impossible. Took me a while to wangle my way around to the exit on the last level but managed it eventually. Really enjoyed it, great work!
Great game, really loved it. The art style is just perfect and the gameplay is solid too. Audio would really put it over the top. Excellent work!
That's a neat way to make a soccer based battle royale. It could develop into something fairly cool with multiplayer. Nice job!
Great game! Efficient art, loved the animations. The sound effects are a great fit for the art. The music sets the right mood and meshes well with the sound effects. Plus the puzzle mechanics are simple to read and fun to play out. Excellent work!
I'm so terrible at this game, but it's pretty damn funny so it doesn't really matter. Great work on this, really enjoyed it!
Got some good laughs out of this one. Amusing concept and dialogue and great execution. Nice work!
Very cool game. Was trickier than I expected it to be. I got stuck on Sequence in my first playthrough, and I'm not sure whether some of the earlier ones were won legitly or gamed a bit by strategic jumps, but it doesn't matter because they are good puzzles. The controls were a little floaty but the concept and execution is great. Nice work!
Excellent work, perfect art style, matching sound, neat game concept and feels good to play. Wish there was some music to go with it. Great job all around.
Having some music in this could really solidify the mood set by the art. Agreed with others here that the jump was far too slow, the player can kind of get into a rhythm after a while, but the jumps drag it down. Very nice graphical style, good work!
Really nice game! The mix of the glowy neon with the low-fi characters, plus the fuzzing and drop shadow effects on the text all makes for a really slick aesthetic look. On top of which the gameplay was really interesting and fairly intuitive. I did get a crash at one point using the H-beam, but not really a big deal. Polished piece of work, great job!
ps. <3 LibGDX
Cool little game, gets very frantic right away. I wish guns were dropped a little more often, I had a hard time keeping a weapon for any duration. Fun stuff, nice work!
Great game, super impressed that this sort of game could be put together in the compo timeframe. Was a littlle confused at first whether A1 (in MOVE A1 A2) should be positive or negative, but a little experimentation sorted it right out. Really enjoyed it, great work!
This game is super hard, the juxtaposition of that and the visuals is pretty interesting, but it was too tough for me to get far.
Nice little game, it was a bit choppy for me but it was still playable. Burned all the flowers, didn't get blown up. Good work on the game!
Took me about 7 weapons to pick up on the gag, cracked me up. The achievements could have been a bit quicker to pop up and go away, or be moved to a corner notification that doesn't pause gameplay. Regardless though, it's a solid game with a funny hook, a fairly satisfying set of weapons, and it compelled me to keep playing... made it to wave 11. Great work!
Nice game. The steering got a little frustrating sometimes but that's pretty much the point of this style of game I suppose. Good work overall!
Really fun quick game. The movement was a little slippery, but manageable. Big fan of the art style. Got my tickets all the way to done!
Fun little game, really love the art style. The cows didn't come back in round 4, not sure what happened. Still quite fun couch co-op. Nice work!
More fun than I expected it to be. Got 700 points first time around. Nice work!
It took me way longer than it should have to realize that you can't jump as high when holding those jewels. Agreed with the other commenter that the atmosphere is really nice, especially for the simplicity of the art style. The music fits very well. The 'weighing down' mechanic is good fit for the theme too. The only complaint I can really come up with is that it would have been nice to get a little forgiveness in jumps near the edge of a platform. Made it all the way to the end and I really enjoyed it, great work!
Interesting game idea. It took me two attempts before I realized how to interact with the helper cars. Nice art style and fitting music. Made it all the way through. Good job!
This was a surprisingly engaging puzzler game. I was able to figure out how to play quite quickly and didn't run into anything unexpected. It made me a think and plan ahead more than I expected it to. If you tidy it up a bit and add some polish it could be a fun little mobile game. Great work!
Cute game with a nice art style as others have said. I think it would have been better to have the UI on the bottom so the cannonballs could be seen earlier. It would give the player a bit more reaction time. Also it was a little hard to tell what the hit boxes were. Fun little game, made it around 8000 meters after a couple attempts. Good job!
Nice engine, the art style could work well with lots of different gameplay. Good work!
Good little asteroids clone. Adding in power management changed the gameplay from basic asteroids in an surprising way. Nice graphical style, good work!
Running an installer to play a jam game is a little rough, creating a playable exe or something would be way better.
Anyhow, as for the game goes it took me a couple times through to figure out that pressing space next to the brown square collects energy and space next to the yellow squares gives them your collected energy. Some more instructions would be helpful.
It was definitely challenging, but part of that was that I wasn't sure what the win condition was.
All in all it's a decent idea and good implementation given the time constraints. Nice work!
Nice game, very polished art and good maze puzzle. Having checkpoints after using power stations would have been convenient so sections wouldn't have to be played over if the player runs out of power. Sometimes it was a little tough to tell if a crate was still held by the gravity gun. Fun little jokes in the dialog, wish I could have killed those damn rat things though... Good work!
This is a great game, especially for the compo. There's solid progression with buying powerups after death, takes some effort to get through levels, cute little pixely style, and decent procedural generation. Great work!
Cute little Metroid-a-like. Wish there would have been some music. Nice graphical style and item progression, made it all the way through! Great work!
Nice graphical style and music. Took a little while to sort out what order to build things in. It might have made for an interesting twist to have to protect the structures that are being built in addition to the ships that are docking. Once I figured it out it was pretty fun, good work!
Super cool idea, great graphics and music. Took a little while to figure out how to interact with it. It clicked once I figured out how to place people, before that I was mostly confused. This game could work very well on mobile with some further polish and tuning for pacing (and tutorials). Great work!
Nice game, great music and atmosphere, really cute art style. Pretty easy to pick up. Nice work overall!
Fun little game, the snowglobe fits the theme well and sets a nice mood along with the music. The car was a little easy to destroy, and having powerups to increase the time or the available pizza stack would have added a lot. Good work!
Cute little game, I found all those sneaky pixies. Good work on the art!
Very nice work. A solid puzzle game with a good implementation and consistent art and tone. Nice audio touches too. Clever take on the theme, great job!
Wow, I failed at being a hikikomori... what does that say about me. I'm going to think about this while I go play some games, then maybe lay down for a bit of a nap. Nice work on the game!
Sad to say I couldn't figure out how to beat it... found a couple numbers though. High quality graphics, but the interaction was a little janky sometimes. Enjoyable to poke around in the room though. Nice work!
Fun game, I liked the quirky art and animation. It's pretty challenging but still enjoyable. Nice work!
Clever idea using a quasi-realtime tetris to reload your weapon. Cute graphics too, great work!
Fun game. The controls are a little on the slippery side, but it was enjoyable to play. Good work!
This game is so good! The art style, the gameplay, the way the room elements work together, the whistling! So so good. Great work!
Great little game, I really enjoyed it! Keeping an eye on two different types of game board and linking them together in that way is a great mechanic. I got to about 1100 points before the green buggers on the bottom just slaughtered me. Love the pico8 art and sound too. Great work all around!
Nice game, interesting idea. You should add how to kill the monsters in your description (I am not sure how I killed them, but some were turning into grave stones.
Fun little game. Took a little while to understand how the various meters worked. Cracked me up that 'dismember' is an option, rough interrogation room! Nice work!
Made it to level 10 before health ran down, but I didn't die? Took a while to get the hang of the aiming sensitivity, and the reloading could have been a little smoother. It would have been really helpful to have an onscreen proximity arrow to alert the player when stuff is approaching behind them. Nice work!
This game launched SteamVR and turned on my Vive, sadly it did not actually play in the Vive :( That being said, very polished game, great graphics, fleshed out gameplay, very satisfying to play. Excellent work!
Nice selection of power-ups. The controls took a bit to get used to, and I occasionally got stuck at spawn, but I like that the floor is lava :) Good work!
Nice game! Cute art style, simple and responsive controls, wish it had sound and some more animation to indicate when things get hit though. Overall good work!
One of our top ideas was a shapeshifting board. Glad to see someone implemented it!
That was interesting.. I will say I had a hard time figuring out what was background and what was interactable.
Great job! I had a lot of fun with this one!
Amazing art style and sound effects! I can see my body! Why does it tell me to get through the sewers?
The sound effects were not baaaad. Ewe made a game that was a shear blast. The odd theme makes this game a bit of a black sheep.
Not baaaa d. I enjoyed this game. Ewe really managed to make something that has me on the fence of throwing a lamb party featuring this game. With all the gLOOMy games, or just spinning wheels in this challenge, this was a shear blast.
Very cool and surprisingly difficult! (Maybe that's just my poor rhythm)
Gravity is no match for my turtle! I was able to run along any surface and also not fall by pressing against the surface from the bottom. Nice idea though, fun entry!
Nice idea. I got around once and it said I had negative time left.
Took me a bit to figure out that the countdowns were for the recharge of the attacks. I didn't seem to see anything happen for the forth one (r) even though the counter reset.
Nice little puzzle game, good demonstration of what the potions did through gameplay instead of only text. Good job!
Pretty goofy game. Controls were a little delayed but it looked nice. Good work!
What a goofy game! Super entertaining, great work!
Cool idea with the theme, wish there was more.
Nice visuals but I was pretty confused about the gameplay. Some more feedback on player actions would have been helpful.
Interesting idea, but it really felt more like guesswork and luck than skill.
What a fun silly game! Wish it had controller support. Nice work!
Fun game. I'll need to find a friend to play it with now.
I had fun with this game. I spent more time on this game than most. The perception of the cubes and cylinders was well executed, as well as the winning animation. The walls of the level have a good look as well. Visually the game has a great feel.
I also liked that it launched in the web browser. I can be impatient, and that let me get right to playing.
The theme was spot on. All in all this was a good game.
Game works great! It does appear there is no reason to ever be the ice cube, which made the game a perfect level of difficulty for me. 3 would be just too many states. It would have felt like the battletoads hover bike level, where all I do is lose horribly. Fun!
Great Game. I love how you created a simulation of my job of bashing my head into the table, But With Shapes Added in! Good concept. Good game.
Great mood. The graphics and the squid physics are great!
Very cool take on the theme. I like that you don't ever say which is which.
Great game, very lovely graphics with clever puzzles and fun gameplay. Excellent work!
Ran crazy fast for me, but still fun! Great work!
Very cool game idea, nice implementation, good art style. It was unique and fun, great work!
This is a great game, I really enjoyed it! Good puzzles that gain more depth and character from the story bits and the eye art. Nice work!
Good take on the theme. Controls were a bit tricky, but it was fun! Nice work!
Fun game. The four triangles level was tricky. It felt like the pentagons would sometimes spawn on top of me and kill me :( Would have helped to slide along walls.
Nice work, I like the art style quite a bit. It was pretty tough. Good work!
Amazing game! Gfx, sound, music are all pretty spot on. Starts to get really hard with the moving purple spikey balls.
Nice game. Cute take on the shape shifting theme, some of the jumping was tricky but I got the hang of it after a while. Good work!
Very fun game! Colorful, satisfying, frantic, and clever. Forcing the player to stay close to the shapes, but not *too* close is a nice mechanic. My highest score was around 15k. Great work
Very fun game, wasn't sure what was going on at first but it got cool real fast. Quite inventive and mesmerizing. Great work!
Interesting take on the theme. I also had trouble seeing what I was doing when the manipulated image was outside of the bounds. Also the controls seemed really touchy, I would try to adjust a little bit and it would change a lot, I was in the Flash version.
Great job!
"Some text I won't forget to change" cracked me right up. Fun game, cute art style and good puzzles. Wish there were more puzzles and some sounds! Beat it in 2:16
Took me a bit to figure out it was just swapping between squares and the original shape, after that it was challenging enough. Great job!
Great sounds, fun little game. Difficulty ramped up pretty quickly. Only managed 11 kills in ~200 seconds. Nice work!
Very nice use of shaders!
All of my initial shapes were boxes, would have been interesting to find the distorted shape in the grid.
Great game, loved how you got both themes in.
I'm not usually a fan of games with these sort of sliding controls but this is done quite well, the upgrading mechanic really makes this game. The graphics are good and the soundtrack, while simple, really sets the mood. Nice work!
Nice work, the dynamic between automatic fire and trying to collide with enemies while avoiding bullets made for more interesting gameplay than I expected. Good job!
Great work, its a lovely art style with great animation. Absolutely solid platformer execution; the controls feel good and responsive, jumping and landing are satisfying, nice non-intrusive tutorial elements, rich sound effects and a very fitting soundtrack. Amazing job!
I like the style and the way it builds anticipation, its a clever use of the theme. I died a lot though, the forward velocity of the jump feels a little stunted and took a while to get used to. It was really satisfying to see the blob creatures get smashed by the rocks, because fuck those guys. The end fight was solid too. Great work overall!
Made it all the way through, its a lot of fun, great work! Fantastic sound effects, the humor really takes it to 11. Excellent job!
Nice game, way to get in both themes!
Fun game, but tough to get a feel for the physics. Nice art style and goofy audio. Great work!
Great fun! Very satisfying gameplay, especially when mixed with the sound effects. Good work!
Loved it, was a cute little game. Great art style and overall aesthetic, fun gameplay, just wish it was longer! Nice work!
As a DF veteran I love the ASCII look. I needed the slower version as well, but it was a lot of fun! Twin Stick shooters on the keyboard is interesting.
A very interesting experiment; reminded me a bit of Antichamber. I like the 2 color scheme, but (as I'm sure you're seeing in other comments) I wish there was some sort of element to gamify the experience.
Very fun game, good art style, good humor, serious plot twists, unexpected horror... great work!
Interesting strategy game. I agree with a person above, you should have included audio.
I can't play it, but the concept looks great.
A great contribution. I found myself playing far longer than intended, though I finally got stuck on the level after "Centaur". Deceptively simple, and yet hard to perfect. If you continue to develop this outside of the compo, I would love to see: more levels with overlapping rings, a bit more elasticity on star-on-star collisions (otherwise stars get 'stuck' in a position) and a bit longer music loop. Thanks for the great game!
Had to update my JRE to 1.8 if others are having problems still. Interesting game, one thing that bothered me was that dialogues would disappear while I was still reading them and the centering of the words was off so it was hard to read.
Excellent artwork and aesthetic, it really set the mood. Loved the story too, great work!
Thanks for putting this together for the jam! I played through the whole thing (though I had some serious trouble with the first set of mouse traps). I think the strongest point was the level design; I was genuinely interested in where I was going and how to get there.
Magnificent... you had me at the very first scene. Great art style and animation, solid mechanic and implementation, excellent audio and music. Fantastic work!
Excellent story, very well presented. Lots of polish. Great art style and music. Great work!
Great game, played all the way through! Super fun mechanic, satisfying squishing, good art style. Lol at the special bunny level. Excellent work!
Amazing game! Loved how the the narrative was presented. Great gameplay mechanic, its super engaging. Loved the art style and the music. Fantastic work!
I must be a such a shitty scientist.. why wouldn't one stop after the first teleporter!? Shit got real after the second port too...
Great game, very solid artwork and the shader effects really brings the mood out. Good audio, great narrative, solid interpretation of the theme, fantastic work!
I am a sucker for incremental games, well done!
Very cool game, excellent art direction, wonderfully fitting music, great story elements and solid mechanics. Great work overall!
Nice little game, wish it was a bit more generous before you're discovered since sometimes it felt like I was caught unfairly, but the stealth mechanic is good and the art is fitting. Great work!
Attacking random chickens is never wrong... besides, they were ganging up on me and stuff... It was a little strange to have to click through the dialog when using the keyboard for everything else. I liked the art style and the sound effects / music were very fitting, great work!
Loved the Retro feel of the graphics
Very clever puzzle mechanics, took it bit to figure out how to play properly, but very fun once I knew what I was doing. Good artwork and fitting sound effects, great work overall and excellent compo entry!
So frantic! It was a little too fast to be sure what was going on, some audio would have helped this a lot. Seemed like I had to hold down the mouse button for a sec to use one-shots like the knife or handgun, but auto-weapons just drained of ammo super quickly.
Good variety of weapons, very challenging gameplay, overall great compo entry!
Wasn't sure what I was doing at first, but it made sense after a bit. Interesting management gameplay, good art style, great job!
Great graphics and neat gameplay mechanic. It was a bit tough but I enjoyed it regardless. Great work!
Nice art style and mood, I was so demoralized when the bomb squad guys disarmed my mines :( Great work!
Very solid graphical style, good multiplayer gameplay, great job overall!
"The windshield wipers flip, killing the Blarts instantly" lol... man if I had a nickel for every time that's happened.
Very silly game, great work!
Very nice work, the art was good, the commentary was great, the advancement was well planned out, great job!
Nice game, funny idea, good artwork, pretty challenging... dear god those three closets... thanks for having checkpoints! Great work!
Well that escalated quickly... Good artwork and physics on the tentacle beast, nice work on audio (although it was a bit on the loud side), good job overall!
I really like the idea for gameplay, and the art style is really solid, but I just could not get the hang of the controls.
A little easy to game the system and the controls could use some tweaking but its a neat gameplay idea. Good work!
I really enjoyed this game. It took a little bit to realize that I just have to click where I want the main guy to go instead of dragging, and sometimes my minions would get stuck around corners or not attack what I wanted them to, but it didn't have too much of an impact on fun.
I really wish there had been some sound and music, it would have added a lot... but time is short in the compo. I liked the art style and gameplay quite a bit and with some more polish it could be a really fun little mobile game.
Great work!
How very.... unexpected. I always suspected that cats have a pretty fucked up inner world, now I have empirical evidence.
Great music and excellent art style, absorbing gameplay, great take on the theme, very nice work!
Wish the character was a bit faster but I really enjoyed the game regardless. Nice art style and audio. Great work!
Interesting take on the theme and 5/5 for innovation. Very creative!
So many doctors in that hospital, all the better for my righteous rage! Controls were a little tricky, but nice work overall!
Fun art style and gameplay, great work!
Tough but fun, I really like the art style. Good job!
Great game! Lots of polish, clever idea, great execution. Very well done!
Interesting idea, it could be fun to play when it is a little more flushed out and the AI is a little smarter.
Great game. As others have said, I wish I could run, but it has a great look and feel. Really nice job.
Really fun! Beat the last level with a sliver of health. Great game.
Hilarious, awesome graphics and extremely tightly executed. Well done!
Windows user here - I got the game running just fine. Fun destruction game concept, though I was a bit unsure what I was supposed to be doing at first. Pro tip: kicking down fences is the best way to go.
I agree, cats *are* monsters :) Tricky to play as I kept somehow exiting the arena or getting hit by projectiles drawn in the wrong square, but I like the concept. Thanks for the game!
Great take on the theme. Love the graphics and music. Amazing what you created in just a couple of days.
Beautiful art. Gojira was a surprisingly floaty, but still played well. I wanted more!
Excellent styling and music, perhaps a /bit/ too much film grain : )
I didn't realize that you could charge up the hits at first, and kept poking the building as the same monster until the whole thing crumbled. Figured out you could hold down to charge up and took the whole place down. FEAR ME!
Great work, and thanks for sharing this!
Took me a bit of time to figure out what I was supposed to do (I ate too many stars are first), but I got the hang of it and made it through on my 2nd attempt. I was a bit bummed that the game was zoomed out so far as the sun and planets looked fantastic. Perhaps feeding planets to the sun would be just as much fun. Controlling the camera was a bit challenging. Thanks for putting in the time and sharing this!
Nice idea, Got a nice QWOP feel to it. Also glad to see more people using LibGDX.
Some genuinely clever puzzles and a nice learning curve. A few more art and sound assets would have helped, but a great show for 12 hours of work!
An excellent execution of the theme. Also, that's some fantastic pixel art, especially the lantern glow on the guards. It was a bit too easy to simply skip the guards to progress, but with that said, flying through the treetops was a great deal of fun.
The closing screen tied it all up nicely. Excellent work, especially for what was essentially a compo entry!
Great little game! I've never had more fun devouring farmers. The king was delicious. Nice work!
Movement was a bit slow, but great atmosphere and art. Nice work!
Nice game, love the puzzle mechanics, and everything was smooth.
Takes me back to my Greek lit classes, though I don't remember the yodeling : )
Found myself playing for far longer than I intended, and I was driven to try for the mysterious 200g purchase. Could use a bit more audio variety, but I appreciated the embedded humor. Way to survive the compo!
I get to be a dragon, burn things and drop stuff. Perfect.
Fun game, sort of reminded me of Eufloria. A little bit slow early on, but good gameplay and art. Great work!
Fun game, nice art style and good gameplay. Great work!
Great take on tower defense. Awesome sprites <3
That's a really fun game, interesting gameplay, good art style, and good controls. Great work!
Beautiful game, has a great feel. Made me feel like I was on a Game Boy :)
Surprisingly fun little game... I felt feelings as I ate cute plant creatures while they screamed. Good work!
I came, I saw, I clicked.
Love the art style, fun game!
Nice character art, good work!
This is a fantastic game, brutal but fun. Nice art as well. Great work!
That's a great idea and a nice take on the theme. The sound is amusing and the art style is really good, I just had a hard time with the controls. Overall great work!
Fun time, could use some audio, but I could eat babies all day now!
Interesting idea,after a few minutes of play I seemed to just be floating in space endlessly.
Good take on the theme and good idea overall. It would be nice if the boat was a little faster by default, but it was fun nonetheless. Almost a variation on snake. Nice work!
Fun game, got confused for the last 10 seconds or so when the screen shake caused me not to be able to see my mutant. nice work!
I also ran to the right first and fell off and had to reload. Interesting implementation of the theme though.
Nice attempt, I think I see where it was going. It's a shame it wasn't able to be finished.
Nice art, very silly... I clicked a lot. Good work!
Great game. 5/5 for graphics!!! loved the scanlines and pixel art. Winning strat is just right arrow all the way to your happy ending, the enemies just hop over you. Great job for the Compo!
Nice work, good art and sound, fun gameplay. Great job!
Clever take on the theme if a bit hardcore, nice artwork. I totally saved her, but was bittersweet. Great job!
Great game, Got a bit of a theseus and the minotaur vibe from it. I did get some bug where as the janitor I was sometimes able to walk though walls.
I have a special place in my heart for puzzle type games, so Great game!
Very good art, and nice take on the theme. Very reminiscent of Papers Please. Good work!
Nice take on the theme, took a little while to get the hang of it though. Good work!
Good take on the theme, nice art and story elements. Great work!
Had a lot of fun playing this one. Controls and graphics were smooth. I think I heard the Wilhelm Scream in there as well. 5/5 would punch again.
Interesting game idea, tricky to keep track of peoples' guilt and innocence though. It would have been nice to flash a bit more often. Good fit with the theme. Nice work!
I made it 60 days. And got a lot of intelligence.
Great Game. I enjoyed seeing what was going to come next.
I did get into a stint where I didn't have any choices, other than that, great game.
Couldn't run (using Java 7):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: main/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0
Entertaining game, but the controls were tough to get a hang of. Fun for the smashing of things though, nice work!
I had a few issues with controls. Z and E are pretty far away from each other. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get that far, Also only attacking the right seems constricting.
I overextended and my shareholders bailed on me... Dammit capitalism is hard! Nice work!
Can not get past loading
Cute little game, couldn't kill the last guy in the level though since it got stuck between floating blocks and the player can't fly and fire at the same time. Nice work!
What a lovely art style. Fun game play and solid conrols. Great work!
You aren't kidding about the 'extremely difficult' bit... It felt like there were a lot of unexpected/unexplained deaths. That said, the style is really cool and the gameplay is unique and interesting, so great work overall!
What a fun game! The controls took a little time to get used to but the gameplay is spot on and the graphical style is fantastic. Lots of juice with the feathers and screen shake. Wish I had some other people around to test out multiplayer... Great work!
Fun game! My high score was 153. It was a little tricky since some words weren't in the dictionary and it got really challenging a couple levels in, but its a neat idea that could be expanded upon to make a more substantial game.
Great work!
Amazing work, really nailed the mood with the art and music. Nicely done!
Fantastic game! I really love the art style, and the main mechanic is unique and clever. The audio was pretty good as well. Great job!
Excellent game, the visuals are very well done and the way the controls are explained is fantastic. Great work!
Nice game, I like the concept and the art style and story added a lot. Great work!
Great graphics and an interesting take on the theme, nice work!
None can withstand the awesome power of my hips!
Cute art style and decent controls, just wish there was more to do!
Hah, brutal... I got excited after I got the first ninja to slide into a star, but then promptly got slaughtered by getting smashed into a spikey wall. Nice arena gameplay!
Nice little game, good work! Wish that WASD worked for movement also.
Neat idea, but man you really have to waggle the mouse quite fast to erase stuff fully enough. It got tough really fast. Great work!
Hi marks for making something unique! Not a huge fan of authorizing some random app to access a bunch of my google things though.
That game was far more satisfying than it should have been with that art style... great work!
Fun little game, very cute art style and little intro boot up screen. Nice work!
Internal monologue:
I have no idea what I'm doing...
Lies... lies...
Hah, take that llama.
Turn all the llamas blue!
What the hell? This llama is attacking me!
I am now the ultimate llamatician, bow before me!
Great work, you got an impressive amount of mood/atmosphere from simple graphics and game play.
Aw man, this game is great! Super-fun-happy-conveyor-belt-dance-party -- Great work!
Such a great mood and style, the visuals an the music fit together so nicely. Amazing work!
Nice work! I really liked the mining mechanic, its a cool way to implement that. Good art style and sound too, just wish it would have been a little faster paced travelling between planets.
In spite of its simplistic visual style and some of the frustration in trying to get the ball tossing working, I really like this game! The visual style is like an atari-ized zelda 2 dungeon and when the tossing actually works as expected its pretty satisfying.
I would recommend locking the mouse to the game window though, even when running full screen the game still lost mouse focus because of multiple monitors.
Great work!
Nice take on the theme and very fitting visual style for the topic, really hit the mood.
Nice visual style, but it kept resetting me back to the start :(
Very nice take on tower defense. Beautiful art.
Beautiful game. Couldn't figure out how to beat the first shielded gun. Worked great on Chrome.
Would love to see more of these. Great job.
I liked the inversion on tower defense. Fun and very hectic when I died.
Woot! I'm the "Come back king". Very nice job.
Really nice artwork. Liked the "bullet-time" style mechanic.
The art is amazing! Moar Spacecats plz?
This is the kind of stuff I love seeing at LudumDare! Great job.
Great art and theme! Just wish I could be pushing with more people.
The fire! It buuurns! Seriously though, great job.
Animations are great. Love the fisherman theme. Found it tough to land hits, but eventually got used to it.
Beautiful artstyle. "The End" was tough!
Liked the idea, didn't get what was happening in the battles at first, but kudos on something original! Music adds to the atmosphere.
Great game play! Its so satisfying when the turrets blow up, very nice work.
Nice game, the artwork sets the mood really well.
Looked like fun but I didn't get very far because I couldn't figure out how to switch magnets. Can you post some controls?
The controls could use some tweaking but the art style and story are really good. Nice work!
Great take on the theme. Good music that adds to the heavy mood. Very nice game!
The simple art style really fits the gameplay and the theme interpretation is clever too. The audio track really adds the mood. This game is great!
Great take on the theme and fun art style. Nice work!
Bummer... I'm still running Java 7 so I can't play it yet.
The art style is really simple but satisfying and the drum track is amazing. The audio really fits and adds so much. Great work!
Fun little game, I really like the visual style. Could use some additional impact effects but I can pick up and throw a refrigerator at giant slimes... so what's not to like?
Only forward and back keys worked for me on windows 8.
The graphical style for the ships is nice and the gameplay idea is good, but it took me a while before I found the boats at the top of the map. Prior to that I thought I was supposed to get the ships to fly into their own missiles. Some additional audio and impact effects would be great!
Good idea, Very nice for your first LD.
Fun game, I would start you out hidden, as it took me at least one "death" a level until I could read enough to figure out what was going on.
I had trouble making snow men my first play through. I love the concept though. Also love that you were able to get a snowman into the game!
Very cool game, goofy good art, fun sounds. Nice work!
Very nice game, excellent art and animations. Very satisfying gameplay. Great work!
I have no idea what I'm doing... needs moar instructions :)
That was a strangely enjoyable game. Liked the style, very atari-esque in both art and sound. Great that the player doesn't lose progress after being killed. Loved the interpretation of the theme with the zoom-out zone changes. Great work!
Good game, a little frustrating to have double jump for nearly every jump though.
Great game! Clever idea to alter the map as you move through it, great use of light and shadow, very nice art style. Good work all around!
Wasn't sure what to do, you can't change the colors?
Cool game idea, took a little bit to realize I had only a limited number of steps and sometimes I lost the player for a bit when moving to a new screen. Great work, polish it up and release it!
Nice idea for a game, just needs some more polish. Good work!
Fun game, nice style and good use of the theme. Wish there was some sound. Good work!
Behold, I have become the prettiest of all snow-people. Good work!
Nice game, the character design and art cracked me up. Great work!
Nice game, excellent graphics and creature design. Some satisfying sounds too. Strange that it asked for a username and token every time I respawned.
Nice little platformer. It got a bit frustrating to slide off the corners of blocks. I like the punch animation!
Liked the mazes
Interesting idea, tough to know quite what's going on though. Good work!
Great aesthetic and humor, but crikey this game is tough! Nice work!
Great game! Humorous, clever puzzles, and cute visual style. Good work!
Very cool game, it was an interesting juxtaposition to be playing a shooter while trying to think strategically about the game board on the right side at the same time. Great work!
Neat game, took me a bit to figure out that you have click on the planets to change orbit. Nice visual style! Good work!
Lovely art and sound, great game!
That's one great game! Very tough gameplay but amazing art style. Nice work!
Thought it'd be tougher than it was, I have a hard time splitting my brain controlling two players, but this wasn't too bad. Nice art style.
Couldn't figure out what to do :(
Wasn't sure if I could actually kill things or not... was tough to figure out if I was making progress. It was a bit too dark too, although that does go with the game's theme. Overall nice work for the compo!
Not entirely sure what I was doing... eating planets? Was surprised that I couldn't shoot at first when it said ctrl to shoot. Could us a bit more polish but good work for the time constraints of the compo!
Did not know what to do... just crashed every time no matter what... Need moar instructions!
Looks interesting, but I couldn't figure out what to do :(
Cool idea, nice minimalistic visual style, good sound effects (could have used some music though). Unexpected game over screen though, there must have been a time mechanic that I wasn't aware of, or you ran out of time to make more puzzles? Great work overall!
Nice style, chill music... controls were a little confusing, but great work for a compo entry! Well done!
Very nice game, sleek and elegant visual style, satisfying sound effects, clever puzzles... great work!
Clever way to twist the theme, interesting gameplay but very challenging to hit the correct block at the correct time. Good work!
Neat game, very stressful since the day / night cycle is so short. Nice art style too! Great work!
Nice game, clever puzzles! Really wish there was some audio. Great work!
That was a really neat game... cool idea! I wish there were some sounds and music though. Great work!
404 for windows version :(
I couldn't start the game in the web version. It wouldn't let me click any of the buttons on the title screen :(
The intro cracked me up. I hit the arrow key too soon a couple times and fell through the platforms before I even knew what I was doing. It would be good to reset the currently selected color after respawning so the player starts in a consistent state. The color changing is a good mechanic but it was a bit tough... god how I wish I could jump :) Nice work!
I must be missing something... seems like all I can do is go back and forth between two level configurations by entering the mirrors, but nothing else seems to change or be interactive. Could use a little more explanation for those who are thick like me. Nice graphical style though and the music fits the atmosphere very nicely. Good work!
Cool idea, took a couple times before I felt like I knew what I was doing though. Good work!
Looked very promising, hope you get a chance to finish up a post-jam build with performance improvements!
Cute art style, doesn't seem like there's a way to restart after a death other than restarting the game?
Lovely art style, promising story, just needs some more interactivity and progression. Good work, keep it up!
Neat idea, but a little confusing the first couple playthroughs. Wall of text help screen is too much, gotta pare it down a bit.
Great game, I really liked the shaky art style and the way the tension built as the sun got closer and the camera zoomed in and got more shaky. Cosmic qwop! Well done!
I hereby name this game bizzaro-gauntlet... weird little game but the randomness cracked me up. Nice work!
Cool concepts, glad that there's a how to play video otherwise I would have been completely lost. Solid feel when making connections. Great work!
Fun game, very tough. Good work!
Nice game for the extreme time constraints... very frantic. Good work!
Intro screens took a little too long, and mouse controls were a bit too sensitive, but neat idea for a game... I got totally lost though, a minimap would have been helpful.
Nice game, good visuals, very chill. It took a bit to figure out that going slower would help with staying in contact with the surface. It might be helpful to have the ball change color slightly or something as a visual indication that it was currently in contact with the surface. Other than their shapes/colors it was hard to tell if there was anything different between the asteroids. Might have been cool to have gravity change or bounciness or something. Great work!
Lovely art style, very chill and relaxed mood. Great work!
Very cute art style... solo play was a little tricky because my brain has a hard time with double control sets like this. Great work though, interesting take on the theme!
Great art style, funny dialog and characters, good work!
Nice little strategy game. I agree with the comments about the AI being tough though, difficulty levels would be helpful, especially when just starting out. Not a huge fan of bundling the documentation and story in a word doc :)
Good take on the theme, very nice art style. A bit heavy of a game, but good work overall!
Very cool idea, but crazy hard solo... It would be great if the other side was AI controlled in solo mode. I really like the art style too. Needs some sound too. Really nice work though!
Glad to see Kenny's art in a game, its very colorful. I really liked the flower-induced rave mode. Controls were a little tricky, but the level design was good. Nice work!
Good game, there's a lot to keep track of so it was surprisingly compelling. I'd also like WASD as an option for movement. Nice work!
Very nice game, it took a bit to get used to the sword mechanic but its pretty satisfying to connect with enemies. It might be good to capture the mouse and hide the cursor so the game can't lose focus accidentally and the cursor doesn't distract from the game. It would also be cool to have the player attract item drops when they are relatively close. Great graphics, solid gameplay, good audio, well done!
Nice work, this is a great puzzle game! The mood is spot on between the art style and the music. The puzzles are clever but not impossible. I love the shimmer effect during the planning phase that turns solid when you set the guys going. Great job!
Fun game, cute visual style and good gameplay. The controls were a little tricky to work with though, mouse click to shoot would be a nice alternative.
Nice work. I liked the art style and the audio, it set the mood well. Didn't seem like there was too much to do though.
Great art style! The fights are fun and the pace is good with some catchy music. Nice work!
Very chill, but a little slow paced for fast typers
Nice Work! I loved the idea of this game. And it was pretty addicting for how short it was.
I agree a lot of polish. I love puzzle games so this was up my alley. Nice work!
The other comments covered my concerns, nice game but having to refresh is annoying
The rocket jumping mechanic is excellent. The controls were mostly good, though I would really like to keep "space" for jump as well. A very solid game for the 48 hour compo, and I would recommend that you develop this one further. Flying in circles around heart in one of the opening levels was quite rewarding.
A very solid entry, especially for the 48 hour compo. Very interesting mechanics, slightly hindered by a very steep learning curve, but in the end a very rewarding experience.
Interesting idea, i liked that the lifes weren't your lives. nice change of pace.
Very cool game, I like the polygon style. It felt a little like a reverse Missle Command.
Nice idea! It was a little too easy to fly offscreen and get lost.
Very moody, cool art style. I wasn't clear on what to do with the hands though.
Great work! That was way more satisfying than I expected it to be. This is great, you should polish it up, add some more features and release it as a mobile game. I really wish you could smash the building down too... Rampage from underground!
Fun game, stressful yet trance-inducing at the same time. Would be nice to track how long you survived so you could try to beat your own best score (or others)
Great mood! Reminded me of the original Resident Evil.
Nice little game, so many things to whack! Wasn't really clear what it was that caused me to lose lives though.
Cool concept, nice graphics and theme interpretation. Jumping could be a little frustrating though.
Also the web version said my browser (chrome) doesn't support webgl after it gets past the LibGDX loading screen, which is a damn lie... not sure what happened with that since my game is using LibGDX also and the web version runs fine.
Wow, what a great game! Very impressive art and significant polish. Good take on the theme. Amazing work for 72 hours. Actually hitting the viruses can be a bit touchy until you start upgrading the weapon. Didn't really notice the tower I bought doing much of anything, but I might have just not been paying enough attention while being swarmed by viruses. I also fell out of the world at one point :)
Also, thanks for writing up the art blog post, good info there!
Fun game, reminds me of gauntlet.
I am a sucker for shop/upgrade games so this went straight to my soft spot. Nice work!
Interesting idea, i couldn't figure out who the criminal was though. I like the topical issues in the dialogue very much though.
Super strange! The mechanic seems pretty interesting, it could make for a cool mobile game with some more polish.
Good game, lovely lighting and art style, very moody. Jumping controls were a bit frustrating though
Great game! Love the art style, lots of polish. This game could make a great mobile game with some more features and minor tweaks to the game play.
Fun game, reminded me a Turtles in Time.
Good story, great concept. I like the choose your own adventure gameplay!
Fun game, great art style and good fit for the theme. Controls took a while to get used to.
oh my god this game is hilarious! its the total package, great art, super moody, completely over the top and silly. loved it!
Fun little game! I love these typing and pattern matching games, it feels like giving my brain a workout!
Cute little game, sort of trance-inducing.
Strange little game. I like the typing mechanic, you have to type so quickly that it really draws you in. Goals could be a little more clear though, and I wish there was music.
Fun little game, got crushed so many times....
Nice art style, loved the monsters. The monster music cracked me up!
Nice game, attacking is very crunchy and satisfying! Could use some music though :)
I like these types of puzzle games a lot, Nice job!
I agree with myachin; good hero style. Why is it that collecting coins is always satisfying? Simple yet successful concept. I was getting a bit frustrated by how hard it was to dodge shots though... perhaps a health regen between levels? Thanks for the game!
So old-timey... that takes me back to the text adventure days. Catchy tune, interesting sim. I made the boss happy in the end, but at what cost? Those poor, poor workers.
It would be interesting to see this game with more UI indicators - perhaps a progress to $10k bar, and current mine stats - the whole show don't tell thing.
Good work, thanks for putting in the time!
Quick and easy to learn, and I played through quite a bit of it. I was initially a bit confused about the white walls vs dirt, as I started on the walls and then couldn't get back on the other ones. I would suggest that the player starts on dirt to teach them that it's safe.
Damn, those sand-worms are unforgiving.
Cool concept, and a polished interface. The rules were still a bit unclear at first (do the colors have to be uninterrupted in the row?), but I still felt like I accomplished something when I finished, even with a score of 0 : ).
Thanks for putting this up!
Man, that guy's face was delicious. And I was hungry... I hadn't eaten anything since I got there.
Controls were a little hit & miss; it took a decent amount of key-mashing before I could get into the vent.
All things considered though, this was an interesting game, and I would like to find out how it would end. Points for simple-yet-effective walking animations.
Such relaxing, very ambient, so ocean. I'm not sure what to make of this, but in a good way. I got a high score of "2", but I'm not sure how.
Brilliant! The running animation is perfect, the sound is good, and the sense of speed is addicting. I'm sharing this game with the rest of my team, and the losing animation is worth losing for. Thanks!
19150. Super simple concept that was surprisingly addicting. Spearing 4 sharks at once was one of the most rewarding things I've done all night. Thanks!
Good tile art, and the shooting was rewarding, especially when mashing "a" on my controller. Can't for the life of me figure out how to get past that first wall-o-turrets though.
An interesting concept. Strangely satisfying when the finger squishes multiple bugs at the same time. Lice work.
Excellent presentation style, though the length of time it takes to transition between each scene became grating rather quickly. Excellent interpretation of the theme, but I wish there was some level of interaction with the world.
Decent concept, but I would have liked a bit more direction. I found the gun pretty quickly, but didn't know how to use it. The world was large and spooky, but too dark to explore fully. Is there ammo somewhere?
Thanks for taking the time to enter!
Lovely art style! Wish there was some audio, and that it wasn't so easy to die :)
Oh the nostalgia, it burns! Funny topic
Good work considering the time constraints!
Great mood, good music... strangely satisfying to grab and throw with the tentacles. Controls were a little touchy.
Nice simple art style. Hard to kill things and stay alive. Got stuck in walls a few times too.
You take this game, and you develop it. I would love to see more of this game. The penalty for getting hit once is a bit harsh (maybe you only lose half of your resources), but even with that frustration this is one addicting game.
Oh, and the subtle shift in music with the addition of more power was a great touch. Thanks for sharing this one.
Not entirely sure what to do, but the atmosphere is nice and the art style is lovely.
Great game! Smashing rock is very satisfying, explosions are well done. Plays really nicely with a controller. So sad when I got to the end room :( Needs more levels!!
Nice game, I really liked the concept and the controls were fine for me. My biggest concern, and really not that big, was just the music, there was a segment in there that was just "dum dee dum dee dum dee dum dee" and it sounded like it was broken or something, before it would pick up again, just kinda jarring when i would be aware of that.
Cute game, took a little while to sort out how to play it though. Played it on PC but its a much better fit for a mobile device, so the android apk is probably a better experience.
Couldn't run, missing msvcr120.dll
Fun little game... a bit grindy but good. The ending was unexpected, happened just as a nice rhythm was developing. Could really benefit from some music and sound effects.
Glad to see more libgdx games out here. Fun little game, must have been time consuming thinking up all of that dialogue.
Very fun game, nice progression. Wish there was some music! The story adds some fun context and a clever take on the theme. Polish it up some more and it would make a good mobile game.
Inaccessible
Nice game, good polish. Gets into a good rhythm as you progress. Uncovering a diamond is very satisfying.
Fun little game, Nice use of the theme. Audio was fun and fit your game. Good work!
Really nice game, loved the feel and logic of the puzzles. Some were just crazy, i'll shoot at this angle and hope something good happens, but all around a solid game.
Interesting concept for a game. Initially confusing at first, consider perhaps adding instructions to the main menu page. The action occurs so quickly that I feel there's a bit too much random chance involved, though I did get to add a few swords to my belt by the time I was done playing. A bit too much of a pause after each kill/death. Nice audio, good background art. Thanks for putting this up for critique!
Good "tag" game, as noted in the other comments. I'm impressed that you would take on a game that involves networking when you've got such a short time frame, well done.
Gameplay lacks a bit of variety, and I did encounter a few bugs while playing - my player shrunk down to mouse size, but I don't know why. I did eventually turn into a monster, but it was rather confusing. A bit more direction (instructions, etc) might be helpful.
I like the painted look of the world, and sound effects, though there's a reason why they only use the Wilhelm scream once (maybe twice) per movie.
Not bad at all. The game runs very smoothly, and the graphics are simple yet effective. Graphically speaking, the only thing I would look into is making the standard wooden doors "pop out" from the floor - I generally only saw them after I bounded off of them a time or two.
It would be nice to have a visual inventory showing which keys/cards that you have. Strafing would also be a nice touch :)
Thanks for putting this together, and good work!
Ran smoothly on a Nexus 4. Yep, this could be addictive. Great plot screen, espcially when paired with screeching guitars. Hit detection is hard but fair, powerups are interesting (make sure you play until you get a broom), and controls feed responsive. Solid game!
One of the better games I've seen so far. Good premise, solid controls (all 3 buttons), and nice visual style. Difficulty curve shot up on level 6ish - the level with the floor you can get stuck on. I think it would be helpful if I could arrow in the direction I want to jump before pressing jump - maybe you "stick" to walls automatically, and then can jump off? Thanks for putting this together!
An interesting idea, but I feel that winning is somewhat random dumb luck. Perhaps if there were many clues, either in the room or in backstory, or each said something contradictory...
I like the art style - I felt like I was playing an old Sierra game. Playing multiple times (cheating perhaps?) the "plot/setup" screen was getting annoying, perhaps make it skippable? Thanks for the game!
Very simple, but interesting. I was not expecting the z axis to be usable (pushing off front/back), but it provides an interesting twist on a "2d" platform fighter. A longer audio clip would serve you well, methinks.
Night use of shadows and lighting for drama. Thanks for submitting!
Excellent sense of atmosphere - I especially liked the intro sequence. The text set up the "story" well, and the sound effects (again, especially at the beginning) worked quite well.
The biggest issue is, indeed, collision detection and controls. I managed to get through most of the game by "flying" as you can jump as many times as you want. I would often get my head stuck in the ceiling though, and holding forward had no effect once I was stopped.
Perhaps you can throw in some landmarks to give a sense of motion - I was half expecting to discover that I'd been replaying the same section over and over again. Also, make the outside bright, happy and rewarding.
Thanks for putting this together!
Like it,very reminiscent warioware

Beautiful graphics, great map design, and really cool idea. Agree with others that it was tough, but the mood was solid enough that it made it worthwhile. Great work!
The Mushroom Boy by 1ncors 2026-10-20T22:15:23Z ♥ 0
Strong mood, great visuals. It ran a bit choppy when not looking at the ground even though I have a strong gpu, but it was still playable. Liked the variety of mushrooms, fun to rake leaves to find stuff. Great work!

Fun game, cool character and move designs, plays really smooth. My only complaint is no gamepad support (that I noticed at least), I find fighters very hard to play by keyboard. Overall great work!
Nimkip and the Quest to Build an Airship by T C 2026-10-20T20:24:17Z ♥ 2
Fun, I like the simple and intuitive controls, always good when a game doesn't require a ton of explanation. Cute art style. Good work!

It's a Pipe Dream by dracco_0n 2026-10-20T12:41:34Z ♥ 2
I really enjoyed this game, the letters were compelling and figuring out which item to send to fulfill a request was a fun puzzle. The music provided a nice relaxed atmosphere and everything was very cohesive. Great work!
