Really liked the main gameplay aspect here! I do think it got a bit of the same after a while, but trying to see just how far I can get was super fun!
Super neat game! I really dig the way the controls work, I was a little confused initially but you get so much control over what you can do with the minecart. Amazing work!
10/10 Never wanted to drain a lake more. image_2025-04-09_001849001.png Honestly had a super fun time with it, fantastic work!!!
I really like the concept! I did find it a bit difficult in being able to tell what did and didn't count as hitting an object, but I overall really liked it!
Really fun game! I love the little creatures and how they follow you, and the way they interact with the platforming itself was an awesome touch! I feel like I explored every last room I could, very nice work and an awesome little platformer!
A great jam entry! There are some polish-related things I could comment on but people have already brought those up; what it does come to though is I really enjoy other aspects of the game, such as the style, the platforming (I have made many games with similar platforming so it was nostalgic to me in that way) and the atmosphere of the game! I love the little toast guy 🍞
Really fun game! I love tossing the Grablins in strategic positions and watching them duke it out. Great work!
This was a really fun concept! I love the simple mechanics of guiding and mixing the little mites together to match the colors; the wizard theming to it as well really sold on the concept! Great work!
This game was honestly one of the most impressive jam games I have seen in a very long time! It was extremely polished all around, the mechanics thoughtfully developed, and had a very engaging audio and visual style that led me to finishing the game by the end. I love how you can approach the game from different ways too, I found trying to get pieces into enemy territory to be a really fun mechanic to play around. Amazing work!!
I love the visuals and gameplay of this! Even if it's a little hard to get used to, it gives the feeling of a waxy or slippery floor super well, especially with the reflections! Also I love the look of the cats, very cute!
I love this! Guiding the little dudes felt intuitive and easy to understand with no text at all! I was enjoying my time, then got spooked when I saw the first roomba and realized that these little guys were in danger. Very fun time!
Super neat concept! A little challenging at times when Pacman for me would instantly spawn and be taken out by the ghosts, but a super interesting take regardless! Managed to beat it and I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing!
This game was fantastic! I love the mechanic of throwing your little creatures at the enemies, it really felt like as the game progressed I had to be more careful with how many I throw towards a specific enemy. Gave me a lot of Pikmin vibes in that way and I mean that in the highest of praise. Fantastic job!
Really fun little puzzle game! It starts off seemingly pretty easy but then it gets much more challenging! I really enjoyed my time with it! Also, I love the graphics in the game, the bears are so cute!
I really enjoyed playing this! The difficulty scaling felt pretty natural, and overall I had a really good time with it! I couldn't get past the boss; seemed like no matter how much I hit it it would never die. The constant jumping card mixed with the low gravity card also seemed to make the game much more difficult than it was before.
Really liked the presentation of the whole game! Really gave it a nice feel that fit the setting the game set up pretty nicely. Asides from it being pretty easy to kill enemies with the swipe, the game is pretty nice and the difficulty increases nicely to boot!
Neat little jam entry! I really liked the sprite-work, and the lighting effects used throughout with both the player's flashlight and giving enemies a red glow, which helped make them out if they were behind a wall. Overall good stuff!
Super fun! I really liked placing a bunch of random furnature in a pile and getting credit, but I also really enjoyed trying to play to what the client was looking for. Great work, and lovely simple visuals!
Stellar work!! The gameplay was quick and fun, and I really enjoyed the fast paced action of it. As well, beautiful spritework and character design. Love it!
Really wacky and fun game! It was a challenge to keep as many newspapers on hand as possible, and the levels really proved to be a fun challenge to overcome! That construction site level really had me going for a while, but overall super great work!
Super creative concept! Loved the golfing physics in such a unique setting, really enjoyed playing
Fun game! The movement was a little slippery but overall a nice little game, with a creative interpretation of a game's bugs. Great work!
Very cute and very fun! Love the spin on Tetris gameplay and the artwork is fantastic
Very fun game! Love the tower building and all the wacky events that can happen during it! Beautiful spritework as well!
Very satisfying game to play! Doing all I can to make the power output go up is very addicting, wonderful work!!
Had a blast playing! The controls are a bit "unstable" at first but I quickly got the hang of it. Great work!
Pretty addicting to get as many rocks as you can while dealing with the cave collapsing around you. Great entry!
Interesting idea! I'd love to see it explored some more, whether its more symptoms or a larger area to explore. Overall a pretty neat "experiment" as you put it!
Very funny and creative game! The mechanics were simple but very fun to play around with!
Very interesting game! I love the atmosphere, and gave off some Papers, Please vibes. I found the story details and the various situations pretty interesting as well. Overall amazing work!
Very interesting tower defense game, the fact that I could lose any of my towers at a certain point kept me on my toes! Very challenging and engaging!
Great game! The puzzles had me going for a bit, but theres a lot of awesome work here, fun game!
Very pleasing both in gameplay and aesthetics, not to mention a really fun idea! Great work!
Really enjoyed this little game! I really like the graphical and sound aesthetic throughout it. I did have some trouble with some runs, I would tend to get softlocked because there wouldn't be an exit. Something I discovered is if I were to obtain a module such as the shield module, and equip it and quickly close and open the menu, it would seem to add in previous health related modules I obtained in other runs. It did the same when I got the firerate increase module, I was able to get damage 1 and 2 modules as well. Not sure if anyone else experiences it but I thought I should note it. Overall, I really enjoyed this game, and I had fun messing with different combinations of modules (even if I obtained some of them by glitching them into my inventory).
A really nice first jam entry! Like everyone else, the collision seems a little off, but I didn't have much of a problem with that. On the other hand, I was a bit confused with the combat at first, but I eventually figured it out. Regarding the combat, I found it really easy to just spam the attack button since the enemies all gathered at the same flower. I also found the days to take somewhat of a long time to progress. On another note, I found the music and sprites very charming. The theme of the game also fits very well. Overall, this is a really nice first jam entry, and I hope to see more from this developer.
I didn't get a chance to play the entirety, but this is a really nice concept with very nice execution! The comedy was great and the gameplay was very intruiging. I hope to see more come out of this idea!
I became swole to the point where my arms expanded past the conceptual plain of reality. I thouroughly enjoyed a typing game, wtf, you have done a great deed.
That was a lot more enjoyable than i originally anticipated, thank you.
I thought this game was pretty fun! I overall really enjoyed it, but on the 4th wave i got stuck, it said there was one enemy left and I looked everywhere and there was no enemy to be found. Other than that, very fun and creative!
I like the art style and graphics a lot. I thought the trading your hearts for different weapons was a neat idea too. I did struggle a bit with the enemies, because its difficult to tell where they are hitting/where they are going to hit. Overall I liked it.

This game is so cute! There's so much personality put into this project and I absolutely love the art, music, and all of the little details. The way all of the text interacts with the mouse is so pleasing, and the absolutely ~~absurd~~ beautiful burgers you can make... Amazing work

Honestly one of my favorite jam games I've played. This game was so relaxing and calming, it just put a smile on my face as I played through it.
Amazing work all around image_2025-10-08_144601249.png

A nice little game! I really like the urgency of it all, not just able to mindlessly have to mine minerals and have to worry about your health and the incoming storm. Great work!

Really fun! I love how the different items interacted with the combat, and the digging mechanic to be able to use those items was so fun to play around with! Very fun entry and I love the artstyle of it all

Johnny may not be a fan of me but I'm a fan of this game! Very fun trying to collect all of the different items, great work!

Really enjoyed this game! Really liked trying to find the best route for getting all the veggies in a single shot (asides from the carrot levels). Very fun and enjoyable entry! Sometimes I got a little confused as to what direction the cutting board was facing but it wasn't too much of a deal nine times out of ten.
