A lovely concept! Like others, I found it a bit confusing at first (would have liked a guided tutorial level, or just a help button), but once I figured it out, it was really fun. Nice work!

A lovely concept! Like others, I found it a bit confusing at first (would have liked a guided tutorial level, or just a help button), but once I figured it out, it was really fun. Nice work!
Really like the concept of the game - and thought the levels were well-designed. Like previous commenters, I have to agree that there were some problems with the responsiveness of the controls on the web version, but overall, it's great work for 48 hours!
A really good looking game, quite fun, but as other commenters have said, the goal wasn't entirely clear? Good work overall :)
I thought the three-colour graphics were really effective, and loved the character design - a bit of a shadow-puppet feel, very cool!
Great choice of source material (perfect for the theme!) For a first effort as a visual novel/game, it's a good start - and you've clearly put a lot of effort into the characters' expressions changing, but I personally would have liked more scene changes - in chapter one, for example, more of a series of establishing shots before we're introduced to Adell and Lupov, and then some variation in mid/close/far shots. I also think the 'game' element would be vastly improved by the use of dialogue trees, rather than a single 'advance' button - I know it would mean that you'd have to stray from the original text, but it'd make it feel more interactive/immersive :)
Lovely art style (great choice of palette with the blue and pink accents) and really well executed glitching. The platforming was fun, but I have to agree with the previous comments - at certain resolutions, the dialogue wasn't legible, and the glitching was perhaps a bit too frequent for it to be 'comfortable' to look at. But overall, brilliant work!
A really fun idea! I enjoyed the gameplay, and found it really original - I can't remember playing anything similar before. The one thing that surprised me was not taking any damage after being hit by a falling cow - perhaps something to consider adding? Overall - nice job!
Brilliant work - a really fun game! (To reiterate what previous commenters have said, the controls were a bit fiddly, but overall, a great job)
Loved the artwork - the top down pixel art trees reminded me of hyperlight drifter!
Brilliant concept and lovely art!

Short, silly, and wonderful! Great mood :)
Really captured the atmosphere of an arcade game grabber! (I found myself thinking - 'just one more try') with nice musical atmosphere too. I really liked the hint at a narrative (I thought the line about going deeper into debt / implying that the egg might hatch were both interesting strands, and could lend themselves to a fuller narrative?)
Really great music - it really set the atmosphere!
Lovely pixel art!
Top notch humour and mood!
Brilliant mood!
Nice animations!

A hilarious take on the theme
A great take on the theme :)
This is great! A lovely rendition of the talking heads, a solid game mechanic, and easy to understand the goal! The one suggestion I would make is giving the player some feedback when the water hits the flames - I was initially unsure that the water projectiles were doing anything? But, yeah, a brilliant effort!
Love the World-of-Goo-esque gameplay - really fun, and really polished for the time available!
These character designs are so full of personality!
So polished for the time! I liked the vibrant colours, and the gameplay fitted the theme brilliantly
Lovely clean artwork!

Lovely pixel-art - a really great colour scheme!
Lovely artwork - great pixel art, and a lovely colour palette
Love the rotating map!
Great job - a really clear link to the theme, and fun as well! To echo pk-c, a tutorial might help the player to ease into the mechanics? :)
A very original take on the theme!
Nice tower defense!
Hilarious - a genius concept! :)
So impressive! Really charming art and writing, and an incredible amount of content for a small team working on a jam timescale :)

Massively original :)
I really really love the art style :)
Super original, and brilliantly executed :)
Really nice colour palette :)
Brilliant job on the graphics!
A really original take on the theme - I enjoyed the physics of being able to pile the letters on top of each other, but I think I found it quite hard to 'discover' what to do? But a brilliant effort in the time :)
A lovely idea, and a really original take on the theme!
A really clever take on the theme!
Really impressive! :)

Brilliant - loved the audio!
Really nice interpretation of the theme!
Brilliant job - the music and graphics worked super well together, and everything tied really well to the theme
A hugely impressive amount of content for 48 hours - and a great retro feel!

Simple and fun - very replayable :)
Love the art style - feels super polished and stylish
Really genuinely fun to play :)
Genius concept! An anti-clicker...
Great job on the writing - really sold the dystopian corporate nightmare :)
Nice entry! It was possible to pick up each game quickly, nice colour palettes, and a really good balance on the difficulty curve :)
A great proof of concept - the pixel art looked great, and I thought the lighting was excellently done :)
Cool game! The mechanic was very on-theme, and the way the tiles move is great :)
Great idea - though like Rob6566, it took me quite a lot of time to figure out how to interact with the crates. Amazing amount of content for a jam game :)
Nice work! The gameplay felt super frantic / stressful, and it ran very smoothly - great idea to have the ending screen being a firing :)
Brilliant game! Unique gameplay, great humour, and so so original :)
Really nice game - totally on-theme, and an impressive level of polish!
Some really cool ideas - liked the rewind mechanic, and enjoyed that it offered me an 'empathy' metric subverting the expectation for another combat metric, and enjoyed that it was possible to unlock additional options through progressing and rewinding - all in all, a great jam game!
Brilliant concept - liked the blocky art style, and thought it was incredibly well executed in the time available :)
Super atmospheric! Such an interesting interpretation of the theme...
Nice work on the sprites - they read very clearly as lab-coated scientists, which is impressive for the number of pixels used! :)
Super cool idea - the puzzle felt satisfying :)
Great atmosphere - really good combo of lighting and music
Great work on the intro!
Lovely art style! (And absolute chaos in the kitchen!)
Oh my goodness this game looks amazing - great art style, brilliantly executed :)
Cool concept - and like other commenters, I thought the bowling balls behind you was fun!

Slightly confusing at the start, but once you understand, a really fun concept :)
Great intro, and a really impressive amount of content for a jam game!
Great mood, and brilliant writing :)
A great jam game - loved the transitions between the games!
Great pun title! Thought the game was a strong and original concept, and genuinely fun to play :)
Lovely artwork and mood - a really solid entry, liked the dynamic between the wizard and their rat!
Absolutely brilliant concept - instantly understandably, very fun and clever!
A neat take on the theme! (Though it revealed how bad I am at typing...)
Really impressive that you managed to create so much content in the available time!
Really loved the artwork you produced - so much personality/expression in all of the penguins. Like Eager, I thought the text speed might be a tad fast. Overall though, great work!
Very creative take on the theme - really fun to play!
The art style on this is brilliant - minimal, but super effective!
Fun mechanic - really enjoyed the swapping/ability to heal, and the hunt for the items...
Very catchy music, and a nice take on the theme - very tough on the difficulty, though!
Really fun - great audio :)
A really interesting idea... which makes me very glad I don't work in air traffic control!
Congratulations on your first game jam! An excellent effort, but like other commenters have said, it might benefit from a bit more information - an in game tutorial, or tooltips :)
I thought this was great - totally fits the theme, nice colour palette, simple to pick up, but fun to play repeatedly!
Totally fits the theme, and is definitely an original idea! Since the 10 seconds feels a bit long for the task, could you put some additional detail in the room every time the player has a chance to look around? You could even build up a narrative using e.g. posters?
Great mood / atmosphere
Congratulations on finishing! A cute concept - short, but fun :)
Brilliant writing - the thoughts were really effective, and an interesting juxtaposition with the gameboy art style :)
Great atmosphere - as others have said, you've really captured a vibe :)
