This game has a really entertaining concept that sets it apart from other games. The chaotic gameplay and the addition of a self-driving truck mechanic make for an interesting challenge. The game is also full of hilarious obstacles that add to the overall fun. Although the controls may be difficult at first, crashing into other vehicles and overtaking them is still enjoyable. Overall, a great effort by the developer.

This game has a lot of potential, with unique mechanics and a great atmosphere. The idea of survival and planning ahead with items is really interesting, and the artwork adds to the overall experience. While the battles might feel a bit random at times, the feeling of being a small part of a larger world with no clear direction adds to the overall charm of the game. With some polish and refinement, this game could be a great addition to the roguelike genre.

Really cool art style, especially since there is a gorilla. The movement mechanic and sound effects were great too! Well done!
I really like the combat mechanic you guys came up with for this jam. It feels really satisfying throw the axe and dash to get it! With a some more polish and depth, this could go a long way!
Great art, love the innovative approach on the theme. The interactions were a nice touch, well done!
I really liked the unique visuals here! The music also tied into the narrative very well to improve the experience. Awesome job, thanks for the game!
Love the humor here and found it fun to play. This game could go a long with with a bit more balancing. Well done!
A short but great experience. Loved the art style and found it to be touching. Well done!
Great game, it really grew on me after learning how it worked. I also really like the general color palette and the unique defense/puzzle aspect of the game. Well done!
As others have pointed out, the controls are a bit difficult, but I think it definitely adds to the game. This reminds me of surgeon simulator from back in 2013. Well done!
The sound design and flash game feel of this game are great. The art puts this game among the top graphical masterpieces in modern graphics history. Truly amazing.
Great narrative and mood you were able to put together. I also liked the humor here, well done!
I'm glad someone made this
I found the moment to moment gameplay to be really fun and addicting. This game reminded me of vampire survivors, but with more polish and feedback. Also it's great that you are patching the game to improve the experience for new players. Well done guys!
A great coherent game that game me a good laugh. The music fit the mood of the game very well, and I liked the art style and polish. I think that making the plane a bit slower would help a lot in hitting it though. Well done, thanks for the game!
The fact that you attempted to make a VR game for a jam is insane! The premise of the game was pretty fun and I thought it was a great take on the theme. Well done!
I think the overall direction of the game and graphics of the game were great. Also I loved the different sound tracks added here. The moment to moment gameplay felt a bit lacking though - probably due to the low threat of enemies. Overall, awesome job guys!
I found that the art style, mood, and theme were done well here. I felt that the story was the strongest aspect of the game, and the music track at the end was great. I think some better signaling to the player could go a long way. Overall, great submission!
This one gave me a good laugh! I really enjoyed the art style here and the voice acting was awesome. The gameplay was also quite smooth which added to the polish. Great job, and thanks for the game!
You don't usually find board games in game jams, so this is really cool to see. I found the design space of this game to be interesting and fairly well done given the time constraints. I would have liked to see a minimum requirement of two players instead of three to make it more accessible as a jam game. Well done!
Great job with the level design and amount that you got done for this game. I liked the puzzles and thought that the progression through the level was interesting. The only thing that I would improve is the readability of some of the level elements, I didn't realized that some of the normal looking level objects which were not highlighted were important. Besides that, great job!
Super cool that this was an NES game. I liked the mechanic of switching both visually and mechanically (especially the Tetris piece). Awesome job!
I thought that this was an interesting concept and approach on the theme. I understand that this wasn't quite finished for the jam, but I can definitely see what you were going for. Your post jam version is definitely an improvement! Good job!
Awesome job with this submission. I really liked the idea of using a phone that you can move rotate to control the table. At first I thought the controls wouldn't be great, but after playing for a couple minutes I ended up really liking it. The details in the UI were done very well and I thought the experience was very enjoyable. Great job guys!
Great job with this submission. The idea of your defense being unstable made for a unique mechanic that I have not seen before. I think the balance of the game was a bit off with the coil attacks being random and the enemy movement speed being too high. Also, I think the controls were a bit counterintuitive when you need to repair the coil because you have to take your hands off the mouse. Overall, I enjoyed playing your game!
I liked this game a lot. I think the balance between the different mechanics like defense and housing was a cool dynamic. The one thing that I would add is a display for the stats when you need to make a decision. Besides that small nitpick, this game played very well. Good job!
Very good atmosphere with this one. I liked that the breakers made sounds to make them easier to locate. I think a good edition to the game would be to add traps. As some have mentioned, more landmarks throughout the level would have helped with getting a better sense of where you are - but besides that well done!
Very good take on the theme. I loved the humor and physics mechanics in the game which lead to some interesting scenarios. The only minor issue I had with the game is that the player felt like he was on ice. Besides that, very good submission!
Nice job with the art! I thought the idea of using a shirt as a parachute was really funny. Well done!
Loved the art in the game. Nice job!
The hand drawn art style was unique and interesting. The player control could use from more feedback, but besides that well done!
This game was really well done. The beginning and end cutscenes were a nice touch. I can tell a lot of work was put into this game by the variety of models and level elements. The music and sound effects were also well done. Overall, your team did a great job!
Cool game. It thought the mechanics were innovative and fun to use. As others have said, this could be expanded into a bigger release. Well done

I'm impressed to see a VR game for a LD submission. The graphics were great and I think you could polish this for a future steam release. Good job
Interesting approach to the theme. I thought the graphics were good but it was a bit noisy with the number of objects on screen combined with the contrast.

I liked the mood and visuals. The game got too dark at times though.

A well done text adventure, could have benefited from some sound and visuals.
Interesting mechanic, but the objective was unclear.
I enjoyed the mood, but I felt it was too dark and the aim sens was too high.

Sage & Summonion by JuicyBrucey 2024-04-18T02:18:22Z ♥ 1
I really enjoyed the game's feel and polish; it's impressive for a jam game! The combat was challenging, needing direct spell aim. Perhaps add a tutorial hint for equipping spells from the inventory. Exploring more spell combinations could expand the game nicely. Keep refining it!
Three Realms TD by Redmori 2024-04-18T02:17:45Z ♥ 0
I really liked the innovative tower arrangement feature, allowing strategic flexibility. The art style grew on me, evoking that classic NES charm. Perhaps consider adding more tower synergies to encourage varied gameplay strategies. Keep up the good work!
Party's Over by seanz 2024-04-18T02:16:39Z ♥ 2
I enjoyed the clean music and pixel art, capturing the grimreaper vibe well. The subtle UI jokes were great! However, the summons feel underpowered and gameplay clarity could be better. A gradual increase in ghost speed might be a positive change. Keep at it!
Hungry Portals by marleeeeeey 2024-04-18T02:14:12Z ♥ 2
Loved the destructible terrain and physics in your game; very engaging! Consider slowing the movement a bit and breaking platforms into smaller pieces for better playability. Adding clearer goals and feedback would also enhance the experience. Great foundation—keep refining!
Summoning Tower by Julian France 2024-04-18T02:12:49Z ♥ 1
I really enjoyed the real-time interaction and the combination of tower defense with active player involvement—very innovative! However, starting with just a sword felt a bit slow. Perhaps introducing early towers or power-ups could add some initial excitement and help make boss battles more manageable. Keep up the creative work!
KekLuck's Summoners Colosseum by KekLuck 2024-04-18T02:11:41Z ♥ 2
Interesting concept with the summoning defense mechanics—I appreciate the variety of animals and their unique roles, especially the tactical use of the squirrel. I felt the game might benefit from allowing player attacks to add to the excitement. The animal sounds added a fun twist! Keep refining your ideas; they're on a great track!
To our hell by Vasulvius 2024-04-17T06:35:40Z ♥ 2

The Summoning by butterinabucket 2024-04-17T06:13:40Z ♥ 1

Phone Homies by IonBingo 2024-04-17T06:12:13Z ♥ 1
Your game has a really intriguing concept! The art style is fantastic, and the puzzle element kept me engaged. I did find it a bit challenging to understand the goal and how to match up the different codes, but once I got the hang of it, it was quite enjoyable. Some additional clarity on the objective and progress indicators would be really helpful. Keep up the great work!
Nexus by denvil 2024-04-17T06:10:38Z ♥ 1
Love the concept! It took a bit to figure out the hero deployment mechanic, but once I got it, it was smooth sailing. The music is catchy, adds a nice vibe. Maybe some visual cues for hero and quest statuses could help. Great work overall!
