It's a well-made game, especially the visuals. But in my opinion, the gameplay gets repetitive and everything takes too long, so it gets boring.

It's a well-made game, especially the visuals. But in my opinion, the gameplay gets repetitive and everything takes too long, so it gets boring.
It was fun. I liked the idea, but in my opinion, the game could have been more interesting than just endlessly shooting emojis. And that line, “Oh, man…” really adds more fun to the game.
Overall, it's not a bad. It's pretty simple. But it's missing something that would really draw you in.
Great game—I really enjoyed the gameplay. I don't know how you came up with this idea, but it's brilliant.
The game is well-made, but I didn't understand how to scan the area and collect items. There aren't enough instructions on how to play.
Overall, it's a good game. But the music gets old quickly.
Awesome game! Really good job!
It's an interesting idea, but I think the implementation is too rough. I also don't see any reason not to make the radar automatic.
I liked the concept, the visuals, and the music, but I wasn't too keen on the idea of using a microphone. The microphone-based mini-games are really hard to complete because every little sound is picked up.
I love racing games. I really enjoyed this game—it has a lot of interesting mechanics. The only downside is that the color scheme is a bit too gray. Unfortunately, I couldn't beat the last level.
A great incremental game. I liked the concept and execution, and the audio and visuals are also enjoyable. That said, manually turning the crank with the mouse gets tiring—it would be better if you could do it with the click of a button.
It's a pretty unusual game with great graphics, but it's quite long—I didn't finish it.
The game is excellent and well-made. The only downside is that there’s too much text, but everything else is top-notch.
The visuals are interesting and the audio is nice, but I'm just not a fan of text-based games on game jams. I guess this game just isn't for me.
It's a pretty fun game. The art could definitely be better, but we all have to start somewhere. Good job!
This is a wonderful game—it’s simply delightful. There are a few areas that could use some improvement, such as the font and the feedback, but otherwise it’s fun and exciting. Great job!
Well done, but the sound is missing.
It's a great game; I really enjoyed it. I can't think of a single flaw.
It's a pretty simple idea, and the game looks good. But unfortunately, because of the excessive noise and the fact that English isn't my native language, I couldn't understand the code.
No game, no fun.
I don't get how I'm supposed to smash the cucumber. The controls are really clunky. The graphics and sound are pretty good, though.
To be honest, the game is pretty weird. I don't really understand how to collect the coins and flowers. Also, the camera isn't very user-friendly.
Visually, the game isn't bad, but the gameplay is pretty basic and boring. And at first, it's not clear what you're supposed to do.
Visually, the game looks great and feels good, but in reality, you're just delivering packages from point A to point B, and it's not that interesting. I'm also not a big fan of the camera; I think it could have been positioned higher above the ship.
In my subjective opinion, the platforming isn't fair—I couldn't get to the next island because I kept crashing into some of platforms instead of jumping onto it. Plus, the respawn time is so long. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to keep trying to get further. But the visuals and audio are good.
It's a great game. It's well-made and fits the theme perfectly. If the graphics were improved, the game would be a cut above the rest.
It's a pretty fun game. Sound effects are really nice. The animals look cute. Well done.
A truly unique game with excellent graphics and sound. Though I'm not quite sure why I sometimes can't place a signal tower.
An interesting and exceptionally well-made game. The visuals are excellent.
A well-made game! Though you have to go through too many steps to satisfy the alien's musical preferences.
The game is really well-made and has a lot of potential, but the instructions are so long, and I don't have a friend around to play with, so I'm just too lazy to play it. But I'll still give it a good rating because I like the game overall.
The visuals are really great. The gameplay is simple and easy to understand, too. It turned out really well—the only thing missing is the soundtrack.
Great job
It's your typical tower defense game; I didn't see anything special about it. It's not entirely clear what the signal charge does. It takes an agonizingly long time to accumulate money, and if you place a turret in the wrong spot, you might as well consider that money lost.
It's a great concept, but in some places the game isn't very intuitive, and it's not clear how to proceed (I couldn't figure out how to get past the section with the 9 buttons).
У игры прикольная завязка, отличная озвучка и арт, но геймплей самый примитивный среди всех игр что я тут пробовал. Лучше б пузыри лопались по клику мышей по ним, а не просто пробелом, но даже это не особо спасает ситуацию.
I don't understand how to play this game. I place stations at the points, and they get destroyed. Plus, they take forever to set up. The game lacks sound effects and hints.
This is a pretty unusual game. So far at this game jam, I haven’t seen many games featuring cars. It fits the theme well and boasts excellent sound and graphics, but in my opinion, it could have been made more engaging. I also want to note that the car’s controls weren’t very responsive; at high speeds, it was impossible to control. Furthermore, right from the start, the game’s frame rate dropped significantly (I’m using an RTX 3060 and R7 5700x).
The game has great graphics and sound, but the gameplay is too simplistic. Also, the compass is a bit confusing; at first, it wasn't clear how to use it. But overall, it's a good game.
A great puzzle game. At first, I wasn't sure how to swap the rooms, but I figured it out quickly. The game has simple, pleasant graphics and soothing sounds that aren't annoying. The puzzles are interesting, too. Great job!
A great incremental game—I really enjoyed the gameplay; it’s very unique. The visuals and audio are also great. One of the best games in the jam.
The graphics and audio are really good. But I didn't understand what I was supposed to do, what the buttons on the left panel do, or what the right panel is for. Maybe this game just isn't for me.
It's a pretty fun game with hordes of enemies. Though, in my opinion, there's too much text.
This game has the best tutorial so far. The only thing missing is a health bar. It doesn't quite fit the theme, but I liked it.
A nice little game. The graphics are simple but pleasant, and the audio is decent too. I enjoyed playing through it. But I still think that if the graphics were improved, the game would be a cut above the rest.
This is a really cool game—it nails the theme perfectly, and the levels are varied enough to keep you entertained. Great job!
It's a decent way to practice your aim with a mouse. It could use at least some sound effects.
My record is 32 seconds. Very pleasant game!
I finished the game. It turned out really well. It was a little confusing at first; a tutorial would have been helpful.
It’s really nice when a game has a tutorial. You don’t have to memorize the controls from the description for the fiftieth time. That said, the controls themselves aren’t very user-friendly. I’d also like to mention the great visuals—space, in particular, looks absolutely stunning. Great job!
The game isn't bad, but it clearly needs some polishing. It suffers from repetitiveness and rough edges in terms of the music, controls, and overall gameplay experience.
It's a pretty challenging game to get the hang of, but the concept is interesting. Although I find it strange that the trains stop in front of the barrier—usually, that's meant for cars.
It’s an interesting idea with nice visuals. The only thing that’s unclear is when the firefly attaches and when it doesn’t. For me, it seemed to happen randomly. Also, the controls aren’t very responsive, which makes it harder to avoid danger. Overall, good work!
I think this game has potential, but it hasn't been fully realized yet. The card controls aren't very user-friendly.
@nikiroz The idea is that if you spam the ping button, the signal you receive will be unclear. You need to press it exactly when the indicator is green.
@rynti Yes, it wasn't intentional. It was pure coincidence :)
@jcomcl You're right; only the asteroids that were active when the ping was sent are displayed. The ones that appeared later simply aren't shown.
@catanus Thanks for playing! You're right—a lot of people found the game difficult too. I guess I'm just more experienced than everyone else; when I was testing it, I never lost a single game and didn't encounter any truly unfair situations—usually either the cannon or a dash saved the day.
It's too bad the game won't load for me either
Great concept, music, and art. There’s nothing to complain about.
Great first game—congratulations! The visuals, audio, and overall feel are very enjoyable, though the gameplay could use a bit more variety. Great job!
That's an interesting idea. The execution isn't the best, of course, but I liked it.
I remember there used to be a similar game on my tablet. The game is well-made, but the levels are too long and the obstacles are repetitive, which makes it get boring pretty quickly.
I can't get past level 17, but I really enjoyed the game. Great job!
I really liked the game. It captures the theme perfectly, and the art and soundtrack are excellent. The gameplay is pretty unique. I think it’s one of the best games in this jam!
I enjoyed flying through space and fixing antennas. But I think it could have been made more exciting. All in all, it turned out pretty well.
Unfortunately, the game won't load
So far, this is one of the best puzzles in this jam. The graphics are really nice, too. But the game is definitely missing a soundtrack.
It's a pretty enjoyable platformer. The visuals and sound design are simple but pleasant. That said, the mechanic of constantly having to hide can get pretty tedious and makes it hard to progress smoothly. But overall, great work!
The game isn't in English, so I didn't understand the hints, and I didn't figure out how to get the yellow square at the very top.
It's an interesting game. The graphics are a bit rough and the audio isn't very pleasant, but overall it turned out pretty well.
It's a simple but effective idea. I like it!
It's a good idea to show off your skills. But as a game, it's pretty boring and often unfair.
