Really cool puzzle game! Also really hard.. especially on a timer! :D
Really well done! not easy to do a good puzzle game!
Nice game! I liked that it was random each time, made it less bad to die. i first thought i would have to just run around and do the same stuff again to get back to where i was.
I see some other people mention the fact that when you enter somewhere you dont exit in the same direction, i also found that a bit disorienting. Also the speed could have been increased.
Other than that it was a nice little experience! Good job!
Nice little experience! I like how it fit the theme with having to wake up eventually!
Good job, keep going!
This was really fun! Neat concept! Im wondering, are the cards you draw completely random? or is it some sort of deck you are going through?
I had a lot of fun playing this, if i were to add something it would be cards with som other effects, like some sort of AoE card for example.
Good job! Keep it up!
Pretty good game! There is for sure something to build on here! maybe have an endless generated level, or design a bigger level with some overarching goal.
Anyway very nicely done! good graphics and atmosphere! Keep it up!
Nice little game. Think i was lucky to find the fountain right away! I did like that the last box was really slow to push, but because of that the death guys caught up, and im 100% sure i should have died at that point, but it seems they couldnt kill me. Maybe a bug?
Keep it up! :)
Nice game! Not sure i 100% understand the combat system, but i got a grinch and it did work! :D
Liked the artwork and it fit the theme nicely :)
Nice graphics, and you could have something with the shooting mechanic. But way to many monkeys at once makes it so that instead of charging a shot and aiming im just spamming wildly.
Good job delivering a game anyhow!
Really nice game! I felt myself wanting to go deeper. I did feel like you had to get the pick axe upgrade before going to another layer, it was really impossible if you didnt.
Liked the mechanic of the speedboost at the start, it felt good to get back into it fast and that kept me playing longer.
very simple controls and nice graphics, good job overall! <3
Nice game!
Liked the graphics and sounds, also the mechanic was good, with making sure you explore and find enough resources to keep lighting fires, while fighting monsters. but i feel the game needed some other goal as well. maybe there was and i didnt find it :)
Anyway! very nice game! keep it up! <3
Really cool idea! Sadly i cant draw, but i drew a really bad dickbutt to partake in the inevitable :)
Good game! Would have liked it if the jump height was determined by how long i pressed jump. That would make the platforming experience a lot better. Also i would considere showing a timer to see how fast you are going.
Anyway! Well done! It was fun! <3
Pretty neat game! I like these types of games, and the music and graphics are nicely done! A nice addition could have been to be able to see how far the enemies can move!
Pretty cool game, but the actual battles where most of the time just putting down the 8-8 and killing them one at a time, going first in this game is OP. :D
Good job though, it looked good and had some nice sound design and you had a lot of stuff implemented!
Super nice game! Loved the art style and music, the mechanics where nice, but it was not obvious what building the mansion was! Also i would have loved to have a little note on what i lost to on the game over screen, because i didnt always pay attention.
Great job! Fit the theme perfectly!
Nice game! it did feel inevitable that i would be replaced by the robot! it was kinda hard to see some of the further away holes, would be nice if the perspective was shifter a bit more, but i guess that would mean we dont see the robot!
Anyway! Great job! <3
Nice little game! It was really difficult, and i felt that i kinda fell too far behind really early, but it took a long time for me to actually lose. So a lot of time was spent feeling like i was just respawning and running back.
That was a really nice experience! Good job on the graphics! I really liked the jump mechanic too!
Well done!
You made me a puppy murderer and ISIS supporter! And i liked it! :D
What does that say about me? :thinking:
Great game!
Really good game! I enjoyed it a lot! I did not manage to get that last science at the start again after trying several times. also it seems that clicking a lot made the energy go down quicker. also never understood why it sometimes had a massive speedboost, but it seemed to come at a cost of energy which seemed bad.
Really fun and pretty looking game though! Great job!
Good job on this game! I liked the sound effect of the van!
I did get stuck and had to quit with alt+f4 because i couldnt find out how to restart/quit normally Also it was quite hard to deliver the milk to the door without falling off the road and getting stuck, but i guess that was part of the challenge!
Keep it up! :)
Nice game! actually started to like the controlls, although they where hard to get used to!
Good graphics and game design, i had a lot of fun! :)
I did run into a bug where when i got hit by a zombie i was teleported above ground and got stuck.
Really fun game! Loved the concept of bouncing bullets that can be retrieved! especially with the splitting effect! Awesome game jam entry! Great job!
Really good game! Short and sweet, just like a game jam submission should be! :)
I really liked the mechanics, especially the little puzzles for every train carriage!
Really well done! Keep it up!
Very nicely done! The game is very polished, and has some satisfying movement and mechanics. I liked the fast transitions after beating a level, kept me in the zone! The lazer was very overpowered compared to the other spells though, both because it hits instantly through the whole level and because it goes through walls, which is super nice against the ranged guys.
Anyway! Very good game! I enjoyed it a lot! <3
Nice game, fits with the theme :)
Liked the little minigames and how stressfull it got trying to manage everything.
Good job!
This was not bad at all! I thought the movement was well done and i got better at it after a while, managed to get over 100 seconds.
I thought it was a bit difficult to find where the cracks where sometimes, maybe you could have added another effect (maybe some oxygen getting sucked out or something) to really make it clear.
Good job anyways!
I like a good crafting game, but it needs som sort of guide. i could not figure out how to get rope, and without rope i feel like i was stuck right away.
@his-games Ah i see! I didnt see that written anywhere, maybe i missed it?
Anyways had a replay with that in mind, hit a few bugs, but all in all i had a good time! nice job :)
Great work! Love the art style and atmosphere! I experienced a bug when entering the kitchen from the living room where i got stuck and had to refresh the page.
Other than that i had a good time! well done!
Amazing game! best one ive played so far! really tight controlls, and interesting enemies! also great job on the graphics being simple but still being very clear on what is happening.
Only thing i dislike a bit is that enemies might shoot me from outside the screen, maybe just make them pacifist until they are in frame or something :P
Anyway! Congratulations on a really great entry! Well done!
Really well done! best one i've played so far!
Funny dialog and nice platforming! I liked the ledge grab animation, but it felt a bit janky sometimes when trying to jump from holding ledge. Also i got an issue with the dash, i could not dash anymore unless i tabbed away and back in, then i got one dash by pressing a direction :P
Anyway, really well done! Keep it up!
@kepsert I played on Windows 10 in the chrome browser :) since the game pauses when i tabbed out it actually wasnt that bad :P

Really fun game! I stopped at 200 because i felt like i could have gone forever, just very very slowly. and at some point it became a bit tedious. I really liked the concept about using the sheet for everything, also very fun to se that poor guy swimming after the boat! :P
Really good job!
Loved the game! I cannot dislike a nice deckbuilder! Loved the upgrades, any good deck builder has some good card removal! :)
Good job, keep it up!
Nice graphics! Sadly it ran pretty bad on my computer. Very choppy.
Good job on the lighting! i was not able to find the secrets, but i did look for it!
Really nice game! I can see how this can work on mobile, but its also really nice to controll on keyboard!
Super difficult, but the upgrades help! I would have prefered if there was some way to predict where the boss would move next, maybe he turns a little before. Also the explosion guy could maybe wait a little longer after moving before exploding giving you time to react better!
Anyway, lovely game! Keep it up!
Really nice game! Loved that staying on the edge gave you lots of point! Risk reward!
Really fit the theme nicely as well!
Good job!
Not bad, i kinda just ended up spam clicking and not really aiming, since there was just one giant soup of enemies that where super slow. maybe have less enemies but with more speed, making aiming more of a requirement. i just felt that the faster you click the better you will do.
Anyway, good job! keep it up!
Neat graphics! Also good job with the gravity mechanic! I sadly had some bugs that made me have to restart (getting stuck and permanently floating) so i didn't finish it.
Good job anyway! Keep it up! :)
From the comments it seems that i was the only one with this problem, but my mouse sensitivity was ridiculously high, it was pretty much impossible to play. Lovely graphics and sound though, and the melting snowman fits the theme really well! Good idea! :)
Good job!
I didn't really get drawn in to the dialog, and the slow moving text didnt help. Should be able to click to get the full text in the box, not just skip it, for those that read a bit faster. Some of the puzzles where nice! While most where really easy. Hard to get a puzzle game just right, but this was a good effort!
Anyway, good work! keep it up! :)
Pretty nice game! As other people have said, it would be nice to be able to restart without quitting.
Keep it up!
I did like this idea, but there were a lot of bugs hindering me from progressing. Also as people have previously mentioned the jumping and movement needs some work!
Good job on the graphics, music and idea! keep it up! <3
@kory Thanks for the feedback! We did not actually experiment with this, but several people have given that same feedback.
I think it would have been a nice addition if we had thought of it, of course with some tuning on the difficulty to compensate. Kids dying is supposed to feel inevitable after all ;)
Your suggestion on dashing into kids having a negative effect is also very nice!
Maybe we will add this in a post-build!
@euler-moises Maybe they died from hunger or had pooped their pants! remember that the mushrooms in the corner and bleach in the storage room are also hazardous! :) Its not easy to pay attention to what everyone is doing!
I tried your game, it was super stressfull! I feel the kids where taunting me as i ran around :D Good fun!
Very cool game!
Good job on the controlls and the fact that you can see the next circle and it stays when you teleport to the top. makes it feel like its under your controll the entire time.
It did seem like i sometimes should have hit a circle but didnt, especially when it was going very fast, might just be something graphical making it seem like im going through it though.
Nice game! like the aesthetic! But would suggest he just auto swings the hammer, and not having to press mouse button. also would be cool if he could drown if he is under water for too long!
You have something nice to build further on here! But i felt a bit lost as to what i was supposed to do. Resource buildings popped up randomly and my spells felt like they didn't do anything. I am always a fan of resource management type games, but i feel this game needed som more guidance or clear goals.
Anyway, good job! Keep it up! <3
Nice game! controls felt a bit clunky with the sliding, but i got used to it. Also what where the coins for?
Cool game! kinda felt like an aim trainer xD
i got Screenshot 2024-04-16 212155.png
Did not seem to work when i tried it
Really cool! Love a deck builder! Some cool cards, always a fan of a multiplier and sacrifice for big damage! :D
I enjoyed it! Good job!
There was a lot of information in the tutorial, so i missed that i had to buy a table. Came back here and saw it in a comment. Maybe there should have been an included table in the start? perhaps with the cost deducted from the starting cash? Anyways, i had fun with it in the end! Well done!
Nice Game!
Cool concept, it was really difficult :D
Would like for the summons to stay closer to the middle so that they dont let half the enemies through. Also it would be nice if the units stayed after the shop.
Good job!
Really funny, nice job!
Embedded game does not work. you should upload it to itch.io or something if you are using godot. does not really work well with the embed here.
Pretty cool!
I would rather enjoy having less projectiles that do more damage, so it feels better to aim correctly and hit something, and so that melee feels more usefull.
Good job with the game, i enjoyed it!
Good platformer with smooth mechanics! really like the dash mechanic with the refil mid air.
Good job!
Nice game!
I like that mechanic in a game! maybe you could have just let the pigs come and i would have to adjust the arrows on the fly!
Great job, i enjoyed it a lot!
Good puzzle game! nicely designed levels! i enjoyed it!
Good job!
Cool game! It was very hard!
The sound was very loud for me.
Good job!
Nice unique platforming mechanics! Cool concept with the different traits that you have to build. I especially liked that you had to trade of directional movement as a trait.
Good job, even if it is not completely finished, i felt like i got a good experience out of it!
Really nice and polished game! once i figured out i could delete lines it got a bit easier!
Good job!
Really beautifull game. I struggled with the intro as i kept falling into the pit and had to restart from the menu. after some time trying i just went with spawn at temple or something and then the game could begin. Some cool mechanics with the little orb that i really liked. generally i had to figure stuff out with trial and error, would love some indications about what to do or where to go.
Good job with such a pretty 3D game in this short amount of time!
Great game! Dont usually play the download games, especially if i have to turn of antivirus xD, but this one looked really fun! Glad i did play it because it was really fun! Good job on the game!
Cool game!
maybe have different phrases to type would be good! :)
Enjoyed it! good job!
Cool concept. Nice little idle game sort of! Nice graphics, Good job!
@outstar Glad you enjoyed the game! you should be able to jump diagonally by jumping while strafing.
It is not possible to change momentum in the air, just like some other fighting games (street fighter for example)
We are currently working on the embedding ;D hopefully we can fix it!
Cute game! I must admit I did not have the patience to learn how to banish every demon, so maybe it was a bit too many rules. Fun concept though! Scary demon when you lose.
Cool game! after i understood the dive mechanic it got more fun. Sometimes i got a lot of screen shake which was a bit dizzying. other than that i enjoyed it a lot! Good job!
Really cool game. I liked the concept that you have to stay in the middle but hit monster with an angle to not hit your totems. was really difficult to defeat some monsters in time because some totems where really close to the edge of the screen. Enjoyed it a lot! Good job!
Some really good concepts here to set yourself apart from other tower defence games. I really like the fact that i build towers in an arrangement one place and move them to the places that need it the most. very nice concept!
Good job on the art as well!
Well done!
Cool concept. Think it should have some more instructions, i get that its supposed to be a puzzle, but that for me was not really clear for a while. Cool art! Good job!
love a good puzzle game! well done!
Nice little game! I struggled with understanding what beats what, and what element my summons where.
Cute graphics! Good job!
Really great game! I had to just rip myself away from it, super addicting! Will probably return to this in the future!
Good job!
They're sooo cute, I wanted more duckies! Audio was on point too. Suprisingly addictive.
Cute game!
Thought it was cool that you made a 3D game! the mana cost of the AOE was too high, so i just ended up shooting regularly instead. maybe it should have just been a long cooldown but low cost? and the boss did not seem to do anything Nice music and overall nice job!
The embed does not work
That was fun! sometimes the first cat was better than the second, since he can shoot far.
I enjoyed that! Good job!
cool game and nice graphics!
was this maybe a bug? i thought i was doing good and had a lot of health left, suddenly it said i was slayed, but i still have health left.

Too complicated, didn't really understand the game but suddenly I got thousands of cultists and money without knowing why or how. Fun graphical design and suitable audio.
Really cool game! impressive to make a puzzle game that is this engaging in a game jam! I loved it, good job!
Cute game! I enjoyed it a lot! Good job!
Pretty good game! love typing games which this felt sort of like! Felt like i just had to spam the combos, didnt really look at any of the enemies, just the combos.
Good job! great game!
