I really liked the dialog and having to press random keys to pick the phone up. The max trash was a bit confusing at first and I think you have a healthbar but was unable to really tell. The upgrades are a cool idea but I wish they were a little more wild. Love it, good job!
The atmosphere is amazing in this game, very chill and a nice experience all around. No bugs from what I could tell, good work.
Love the little devil character. Very cute 10/10 best gardener.
Really fun angry birds type game! Really liked the challenge once you got to the planets that pushed you away. Only bug I found was when you shoot your guy sometimes asteroids you touched will yeet themselves off the map but that wasn't even that big of an issue. Great work!
Cute Idea, I like the inventory management mix hidden object idea. Did a really good job at capturing the theme.
Def one of the more unique ideas for a game I've seen. If you smoothed out the driving controls this would be golden.
Really well made game! The idea alone is 10/10 and doing minigames to buy presents for your cat is great. The only thing I think would have made this even better would be if there were more obstacles in your way to the store.
The sauce. Was down.
Neat concept , I liked the addition of the different game modes. It helped to spice up the original gameplay.
Actually a really engaging game, the sprite of the main character is really cute! The only problem I had was I wish there was a way to tell what possible crafting recipes you could make. I feel that would speed up the confusing beginning of running around randomly smashing rocks together.
Really trippy game. I enjoyed picking up all the different people to see what they said. I am unsure tho if there is a end goal? Fun concept either way.
Really well done for 72 hours but I felt that there was way too much to take in at the beginning and was confusing. Maybe next time have some sort of tutorial overlay the actual game so it's easier to tell what is what without having to bring up the tutorial.
Nice job on completing this game within 48 hours! I liked the skull mechanic that drained your money as you got further.
Interesting premise with the randomly generated level. It was missing some gameplay loop things to make it more interesting like enemies, traps, or anything you would have to play around. The mechanics worked well and felt fluid, but you could go through walls.
Love the idea of trying to get a high score. I understand how the gameplay ties to the theme of the jam, but my neck wishes it was going horizontal instead. Great stuff!
Fun shooting game, enjoyed shooting fish to upgrade my sub. The only thing that I found clunky was when you were moving left and right while shooting at something, where you were shooting from would change. It might make less sense but would be more consistent if the projectiles came from the center of the ship. Great work!
A neat take on the theme, I think there needs to be a little more control to move your characters around. Maybe be able to move them up when you get a successful note? This way it would feel more like a balancing act. Neat concept and would love to see what else you can come up with next time!
Really like your take on the theme for your game! I think that creating a narrative from a theme in a weekend is really cool. Great work and would love to see what else you can create!
Neat idea to have the same level get harder as it goes on. With a little bit more tweaking on the player jump to be less floaty I think it could be a really interesting platformer. I am unsure what happened in the cutscenes as the text was really small in the middle of my screen, so I just pressed escape to go to the next scene. Good entry!
Really fun game! Upgrading your roots to better explore was a lot of fun. The only really annoying things that I ran into was the UI at the bottom getting in the way of the map when you are trying to move or create roots, and sometimes the map blocking you from parts of the map. Great work!
Very fun puzzle game! It made me really have to think hard about what I was doing. The one thing I wish this game had was some sort of marking mechanic like you can do in sudoku type games. Being able to mark squares with colors or symbols to help me think out solutions would help a lot with planning. Really fun game!
Cool proof of concept for a duplication mechanic in a game! With a bit more tuning I think this could be a really fun puzzle platformer. Good stuff!
Cute clicker game about getting people infected. Was a bit confused as to how to win as there was no tutorial, but once I figured it out, it wasn't too hard to beat. I think this game would be more engaging with some sort of timer. Like if the people were developing a cure that you needed to win before they developed it. Either way, good work!
A lot of fun platforming on the buildings and seeing what little hole you can slip through. Good idea!
Fun game, though I think a 3d compas in the corner would have helped out a lot in understanding how the map works. The 2d map for 3d space just didn't click for me. Great idea and love the game!
Cute character design and nice start to a driller game! I think it would be cool if there were enemies in the ground you had to dodge like in dig dug.
Very cute art! I had a few moments where the audio messed up and glitched out but over all it was a cute experience! The fact that you used flies as pictures for yourself in the credits was really funny.
Cute scavaging game. I like how it gets harder as time goes on since the water is rising. I think it would be better if the oranges spawned far less frequently to encourage the player to plant more trees. Good work!
Very interesting visual novel esq game. The polish is off the charts and the mood is really great. I just wish there was a way to save or fast forwards so that I could try the other endings without sitting through the whole intro.
Like most have said, the art for this game is really well done! A very fun resource management game. The only thing that felt a bit off was how slow the scrolling up and down was. Good stuff all around!
I really enjoied the design of the game. Moving liquids with a bulldozer is a very unique concept for this jam! The way the audio gets muffled when you go in the water is a nice touch. Great work all around!
Cute little game. I think it could be a bit harder if you added some obstacles in the road
I love it. The last cereal was the best.
I really love the art style of the game. The music (especially when you fail) is great. Though I will say that I was very confused as to how to select the correct button for each person or if that is even how the game works. I was initally thinking that it had to do with either the color of the character or the color of their text. But some character had green text which didn't match any buttons so I ended up guessing a lot and hoping I was right. Either way I really enjoyed the aesthetic of this game.
This is a really good base for a music runner game. I like the music but think that the gameplay could be spiced up in a few ways. I think being able to spam jump 3 times makes most any of the spikes trivial and having some sort of slide under obsticals or another thing that aren't spikes to dodge would keep the player on their toes on how they should be dodging.
For the Web version not working you might have the same issue we had where you need to go to Edit > Project Settings > Player > Publishing Settings (Dropdown) > Compression Format to disabled to get the web version to work. For the game I like the idea of making random potions and seeing what they do. I just wish there was more ways to interact with the game than just crafting and drinking potions. The music was also nice and I felt that it matched the tone really well with all the creapy sounds.
It seems like your web version of the game isn't working. You might have the same issue we had where you need to go to Edit > Project Settings > Player > Publishing Settings (Dropdown) > Compression Format to disabled. For the game its a nice rts type game. I wish there was more of an explination as to what is going on or some kind of goal like a certain amount of villiger you need.
Very neat idea, we had a similar one but went in more of a single player story route. I like the idea of a horde mode with looping projectiles, but I feel like the enemies should hurt you on contact to prevent, certan, issues...Untitled.png
What a cute dog. My only complaint is that I want more pictures of your dog.
I really liked this game. The idea that you can only see what is in the range of your sonar is really fun to play with. The only issue I came into was that I didn't feel like there was a point in collecting and returning the gold. I feel like there could be a bit more explanation as to what is going on.
It's a cute little game but I feel like this game could be more fun if it had some kind of QTE like paper mario games.
This game was really funny and an interesting take on the theme. Though I quickly found that the easiest way to cheese the game was to just quickly circle the entire screen, winning in less than a few seconds. This could possibly be fixed by having a limit or resource for drawing circles. Great game!
I absolutley love the art style for this game. I wish this was a real claw machine and I could own one of the little fish boys. The gameplay though is a bit slow. I feel like just speeding up the "claw" a bit and increasing the amount of fish in the pool would help a lot. I might just be bad bit it's really annoying when you miss some fish and have to wait for the claw to reset.
I love the idea! It's so fun to just pick random ones and seeing what monsters they change into.
Neat idea but, I found it getting a bit repetative given how little input you have over the game.
This was a really fun game, you captured the joy of playing pinball/pachinko machines perfectly. Great game all around!

Really great style for the game, tho I think when it comes to the book the style is a little too much. A lot of this game was me squinting my eyes at the page trying to figure out what the words even meant since they were so small. Overall really well polished though, good stuff!

I love the idea of recruiting little animal friends to gamble for you, with some more variety this could be a fun rouge-like. The frog is my favorite, seeing him go gamble over and over was great.

Solid concept for an arcade game, was fun trying to get the best shape score!

Learning how your partner works is a really interesting take on a card game that I could see getting really in depth, but I wish the game started out with your partner telling you 3 of their tells, then expanding each round after that. Well done!
