I wouldn’t call this game short — to me, it’s a great jam version. Also, I’ve gotta say, it’s really enjoyable to play, feels super polished.

Funny how the stories in our games turned out kind of similar — and how differently the whole ‘ring retrieval’ idea can be done. Yours turned out way more interesting! :)
Pretty creepy and atmospheric — loved the vibe! I’d maybe suggest making the exit a bit easier to spot (I couldn’t find it at all), or even adding a little radar that shows where the hostile fish and the exit are. I think that way more players could actually make it to the end. Other than that, I had a great time — awesome game!
I thought the game was a bit long, but it fits the jam theme well and overall I liked the background music and simple graphics.
Quite a good result considering this is your first LD.
Very enjoyable and addictive game, you want to play again and again. Great job!
I don't want to repeat after everyone else, but the graphics are really awesome. I also want to note the excellent correspondence to the theme of the jam and the sound component
It's a bit tricky to control, but I like the unique jumping mechanics, I've never seen anything like it before.
Short but fun game. Also I like how you used the jam theme, great game.
An unusual way of presenting the theme of the jam, it is clear that a lot of work has been done on the plot and illustrations.
I liked the unusual implementation of the jam theme combined with nice graphics and an interesting plot.
I like how the jam theme is implemented here, nothing to complain about, great game.
One of the few games I actually enjoyed at this jam. It's short, simple, and fits the theme of the jam well. Keep it up!
There are a few flaws in the game's design, but I think for a game made in 3 days it's a pretty good result.
As far as I understand, the subject matter is obvious in the depth of the investigation. I would also like to note the excellent audio and visual components.
The most unusual and fun visuals. I like it
The music and visuals are especially attractive! I also really liked the unusual gameplay and the ability to replay the game several times!

Circus Puppet Theater by Diralf 2025-10-18T17:38:49Z ♥ 1
I really like the visual style of the clowns and the environment. The game is simple and short — perfect for a jam game.
The core mechanic is unusual and fun — stunning clowns and collecting them on your head creates some hilarious moments. The auto-aim feature for targeting clowns is also a smart and convenient addition.
For future development, it could be interesting to see more clown types with different abilities to add variety.
Overall, this is a solid game that would benefit from adding audio, but the core concept is really enjoyable!
Enter the Cardgeon by Placeholders 2025-10-18T08:15:30Z ♥ 1
I'm really impressed by how polished this game feels. All the small details really add up and make the experience stand out.
The card-crafting system is quite unique — first you collect puzzle pieces, then use them to build cards for your deck. I liked the strategic choice between going with safer puzzle cards or taking a risk with enemy cards for more resources.
One observation about the enemy behavior: they tend to move directly toward you and cluster together, which can make combat feel a bit predictable. Mixing up their movement patterns could add more challenge.
Overall, it's a creative concept that captures the theme well. Solid work!
Marble Trouble by mooyett 2025-10-17T19:50:29Z ♥ 4
This is currently my top-rated game from the jam! The music, animations, and overall feel are absolutely superb — it's genuinely enjoyable to play.
The combat mechanics are fantastic — a unique mix between billiards and fighting that works surprisingly well.
My only minor setback was getting sent back to the beginning after losing to the final boss, but that's a small issue.
Amazing work!
#1 Card Collector by Jvdwijk 2025-10-17T19:09:29Z ♥ 1
The card collection system is really enjoyable! With 41 unique cards, there's a substantial amount of content to discover, which really extends the playtime in a satisfying way.
I also loved the voice acting — it complements the on-screen action perfectly.
Some minor notes: The camera's up-down rotation feels a bit unusual (almost like the character is tilting), and there were moments where I could see through walls and objects.
Overall, great concept! Even though I didn't complete the full collection, I had fun and think this idea has real potential for further development.

The charming watercolor art is truly outstanding and immediately drew me in.

Regarding gameplay: I feel the timer might not be entirely necessary, as it decreases quite slowly during item collection. Perhaps adding item descriptions or a preview of the next enemy could help players prioritize what to gather.
Overall, I really enjoyed it! The game is concise and engaging — I had a great time and completed it in about 10 minutes.
