Does this game read mind? I kept getting "sex" as a distraction more often than any other.
On a serious note amazing job. Great graphics, interesting adaption of the theme fitting sounds and music. Loved the concept.
Loved playing the game. Puzzles were nicely set. The calm music added greatly to the art to set the calm mood even though you are always on edge. Amazing!
Interesting concept. The game looks polished. and question answer mechanic was good. I could change my imaginary friend's color in the game that was cool. I wish I could do that in real life :). Overall a nice game. Congrats on finishing your game in your first jam!
Things I want to say that are already mentioned:
Awesome game (✔️) Great graphics (✔️) Fitting BG music and sound FX (✔️) Very accurate and snappy controls (✔️) Very well placed platforms and other level elements (✔️) Feels like playing a commercial game (✔️) 5/5 for each category (✔️)
I don't know what else to say that is not already been told. This is by far the best game I have played this jam.
During the community game jam I commented on a game called "Back and white" that this game is the best and that game went on to win the jam. I wish the same happens with this game as well. I'll be shocked to see if I don't see this game in top 3 overall and winning in atleast some categories.
5/5 for everything. One of the best games I played in this jam so far. I thought why there are so many abilities in the game? And then at the end, I ended up using everything still took me a few attempts. Had a lot of fun. Music, Sound FX, Graphics, trail animations, little dots that guide you towards the ability and then they get bigger as you close in. Story narrative simple and yet fun.
Artwork is amazing, an appropriate music would have been cherry on cake. Loved playing it.
Fun game, loved playing it. Graphics and music were really nice. Adaptation of theme is unique. I wish there was an eraser, because great artists like me(check my drawing below) need them.!
Fun puzzle game with minimalist graphics and fitting music. I felt music was a bit loud, but I turned my volume down and all was good. Loved it.
I watched this game live on stream then came to play here. Amazing idea and quite innovative too. Loved it. Full marks on almost all categories.
I loved the progression in each level from empty to non lethal to dangerous to almost impossible. Art had a lovely monochrome feel and music was fitting. Great job bud!
What I wanted to say is almost covered in all the comments above, so I'll only say this that I absolutely loved playing your game and loved to explore different endings.
Nice game,apart from feeling a bit short and couple of typos here and there (not trying to be a d!*k) I found the game to be amazing. I always love a game with multiple endings and want to explore all the possibilities. Great work.
Loved your art and interpretation of the theme. It was good to be given options on how to end the game. I found jumping and landing a bit difficult and felt falling from heights was unforgiving apart from that I absolutely loved to play the game.
Nice graphics and sounds. I loved the adaptation of the theme. For the first time I thought the run animation is punch someone, so I tried to punch those who didn't give me money. That would have been a good feature in the game :) I had fun playing it.
5 stars for everything. I don't think there is anything I would say will be new as earlier comments say everything. One of the best games I played in this jam so far. I can see you will be higher in rankings for sure. It drove me crazy that I could only find 19 things. I thought I missed 1 thing only to realize there are more than 20 to find. Played twice but still a few things left to find. I wish someone make a video of this game and find everything. You should look forward to expand the game further.
EDIT: I found 21/20 and please tell me there are no more things to find. I can't sleep knowing there is something more to find.
Loved the art and concept of the game, music is fitting. Had fun playing it.
Loved this little narrative and the purrfect puns you put in. I felt some of the text went fast, it bugged me that I could not read them. Music and atmosphere was amazing and aided in the story telling. Graphics were amazing too.
You should consider playing other entries in jam and leaving youe feedback to them. It will come back as more ratings and feedback for your game. Hope this helps, have a good day.
Apart from what @loadsofmana said there is not much complaint in the gameplay. Controls are snappy. A bit of feed back in enemy death would have been nice. I felt Im shooting but the skeleton is not dying. Until I spammed my gun. As for graphics and music I really loved them. Sad to hear about the camera shake that would have been really nice.
A bit of sokoban and maths together. Loved the concept, perfect adaption of the theme. I wish there were more levels to play.
Nice story about the jam itself. Lovely music. Fun game
Great graphics amazing narrative Loved it
HAd fun playing it. Loved it. It was good to take down enemies from behind without they knowing it.
Took me a while finding the key, I wish I could fly through walls after possessing the key. Music was awesome, that too multiple tracks. Solid entry
Loved the graphics. Agree to other about the audio. Gameplay is fun
Awesome game, loved playing it just died only a 2463625 times.
Interesting concept. Loved playing it, but it's quite difficult
Nice graphics and fun game. Loved playing through it. Movement felt a little difficult to handle, but not game breaking.
5 stars for everything. There are so many different rules you can extend this game to 100 level game. I wish you expand this to even bigger game. I feel this game will be in top 3. I would love to learn how you programmed this game. Great job one of the best games I played in this jam.
Full marks for fun and innovation. I laughed through out the game while playing it.
Really nice storytelling, fun game to play and loved the choices part. Playing again and again to explore all possibilities was fun and didn't feel boring. Speaking animation a nice touch to it.
Interesting idea, possessing objects to complete a level. Fun game, loved playing it.
Agree to @adngdb on almost every point. This game has potential.
Loved the idea of defense and you exactly start with nothing but yourself.
I found it a bit hard and was not sure if I was doing right thing in shooting. Liked the idea and was fun to play.
Great job, art is beautiful music is fitting aesthetics are nice. Loved it.
I just wish this game was in english. I really loved comic style prologue. It would be unfair if I rate this, because I haven't played. Art style is pretty amazing.
Theme adaption was on point. Loved playing it. One thing bugged me was text and voice were out of sync.
Going through the comments and saw many people saying "well balanced" I was surprised, then I realized, I can move birds. After that I beat the shit out of those eggs. Very well made fun game
Interesting idea and quite unique adaptation of theme. Before there was nothing there was Om, I really loved it.
Fun game although I quite didn't understand the significance of bad mouthing.
Liked the name and a good story narrative. Nice game
Nice puzzle game. Loved the art and music, it would have been nice if there were instructions in game.
Nice game mechanics. Loved playing it especially upgrades. Once I had to chose least terrible card, I really loved that part.
I always enjoy art and overall experience in BTP games. Art looks so simple and yet has quite a charm. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I really loved the music and reverse effect. Also the world was being built as you walk through felt like quite a good story telling.

Thank you game for letting me kill the humans. Felt pretty good playing it. Awesome graphics and music and game aesthetics. Quite good take on the theme. A solid entry.
Symbio-tech by GenericToast 2020-05-05T15:52:42Z ♥ 0
Nice game I really enjoyed it. One thing bugged me was the controls, I had to aim with mouse and then had to come to hit space and for that I had to leave either mouse or movement controls. changing space with LMB might resolve this issue. Overall fun game, nice looking graphics and cool BG music.
CODE B12 by Justin Toyo 2020-05-05T10:47:18Z ♥ 1
That president is quite acrobatic. Loved playing your game. Awesome graphics matched with cool sound FX and music. Gameplay wise it's awesome. Automatic rifle is my favorite and so satisfying to shoot.

Nice game. I loved your take on the theme, making an idle/tycoon game. Graphics are simple and nice, music too. I wish I could select one server and place it more than once before clicking it again from the menu. Apart from that the game is fun to play especially time speeding.
Motobot Defender by pkenney 2020-05-05T09:58:17Z ♥ 1
Awesome game my man. That to you managed to do in 48 hours. Loved the models had some cool animations. Best feeling was to hit 9 bots in a row in single drive. Overall a very solid entry and really fun game to play. A background music track would have been cherry on the cake.
I came here to brag about my 9000 something score only to realize people have scored more.

Loved the game. Art and sound is awesome. I was hooked with the music.
Loved your idea about the theme and very well executed. Kudos to you
Turto! Virtual Pet by deathray 2020-05-05T07:33:54Z ♥ 0
Mine lived for 554 years of sadness and poo all around him. Loved the game. It took me a couple of pet deaths to realize that you are supposed to put the food around him by clicking.
Here, Fishy Fishy! by themadprogramer 2020-05-05T07:18:57Z ♥ 1
Fun game, cool idea and nice take on the theme. I felt fish response can be faster so that you can move up and down faster

Nice game and cool take on the theme. You had me in the main menu I loved it. I think there are some typos in the "How to play" section, but now I think about them they might be intentional. Fun game.
Skip A Beat by Zyger 2020-05-04T12:23:52Z ♥ 0
Found your video on youtube and came to play the game. I loved the game and it looks very much polished. Visuals are stunning, the CRT effect is nice and sounds are fitting. Movement effects are really nice adds juice to the game. Overall a great entry. However I am not sure why you went for a 3D model when you could make the same in photoshop in 2D
Gameplay wise I think it was good to have a very simple idea at the core and then build it from there. You did a great job. I felt the colliders were a bit bigger and sometimes I felt hitting them even though the last pulse went pass me. Overall a solid entry especially this is your first jam.
MACHINA by Harry Alissavakis 2020-05-04T12:01:01Z ♥ 1
Very polished game. And fun to play as well. Graphics are amazing well matched with music and sound fx. I loved the text transition. No wonder you have so many good ratings and reviews. I feel like this game is one of the top contenders. If not overall then in a few categories for sure.

Simple fun game. Loved it.
Protect It by Laaph 2020-05-04T11:31:28Z ♥ 1
I saved it. Very simple yet challenging game. At some points it frustrates you a great deal. But loved it.
I agree with @justmars that it should be delayed or slow a little.
@fupi *spoilers* that is the last level.

Cool idea and quite nice take on the theme. I loved the graphics, sound and gameplay, all comes together very nicely. I just wish I could aim in any direction with my mouse. That's just in my opinion. Overall great fun to play.
Slightly Agitated Road by tayl1r 2020-05-04T10:52:34Z ♥ 0
Awesome game. Fun to play. I loved the low poly graphics and explosion effects. I wish there were more vehicles would have been even more fun.
Chicky's Delivery Service by Jelle Vermandere 2020-05-02T11:45:57Z ♥ 0
AAARRGGGHHHH! Why that stupid egg does not fall where I want it to. I've been walking on egg shells after playing this game as I broke nearly a million eggs trying to complete this game and yet failed to pass even the third level. Very creative take on the theme quite quirky as well .Loved the game so much. Maybe it was a tad more difficult for me.

Really nice game, very simple and well executed.
Zoo keeper by Team-on 2020-04-30T11:52:58Z ♥ 3
Cute art and very simple yet a ton of to play. Played all the games 3-4 times and still can't get bored of them. Loved the main menu with closed signs. I wish I could play any game I wanted to play by clicking on the enclosure. Top game.
The Keep! It's Alive! by minibobbo 2020-04-30T11:45:26Z ♥ 2
Awesome game. I loved every bit of it. It was good to have different types of people to eat, kept the game interesting. And probably the most creative and unique adaptation of the theme.
Trappy Dungeon by Potato Bot 2020-04-30T06:56:05Z ♥ 1
Loved the game. I was able to complete it. It was good start from the same level after dying as starting from all over again is annoying.Graphics were good sound FX too especially when dying, felt like game is mocking me for dying. Nice game overall.
Living Light by zubspace 2020-04-30T06:49:09Z ♥ 2
Nice game, had fun playing it. Some effects on death would have been nice such as camera shake or particles. I myself didn't have much time to do all these so I understand it, but you can add them once the jam is over.

Great game. Loved it and you've got some dead dwarves to clean.
Save the torch! by eduardogacn 2020-04-29T07:26:31Z ♥ 1
Loved the graphics and gameplay. Awesome game. I felt it a bit difficult for some reason I could get past third level. Also dying and starting from all over again felt a little annoying.
Cloudy With A Chance Of Pain by ProdigalSon 2020-04-29T07:02:34Z ♥ 2
Awesome game. Loved playing every bit of it. I love the interactions of water and lightning. I would love to see this as a full fledged game with levels and customization.
Ping me if you need help with mac port, I would gladly help you with it.

Very well polished controls. Loved the art style as well. Only if I could play this game for a good few minutes.
- "There should be more guns." , says the local gun ownership advocate group. - "What a great game idea, I call dibs on Drunken shooter game with longer gameplay. Collector edition could come with gun skins!", says games industry spokesman Jared Darklingson, CEO of GAmblingForChildrenIsOK Inc. - "What is a game?", says a wise leader of a country.
- "WE WANT MORE GAMEPLAY", says everyone who played the game.
Chicken game by Jole 2020-04-28T15:10:13Z ♥ 0
Nice little game. Made only in 3 hours yet the game looks complete and very polished. Art is cute and music / sounds FX to. I am embarrassed to post my highscore here :)
🌸 Conway's Garden Life by joonamo 2020-04-28T15:06:26Z ♥ 1
I loved the game so much, got 7th on the highscore list. The game looks very much polished and features packed. You added multiplayer also you could see how other players got their scores. But that also tempted me to checkout the top scorer's placements. Overall a solid entry and a really fun game.
LD46 - Carry This Torch Through by tso 2020-04-28T08:25:00Z ♥ 1
Just like the others I loved the colors and aesthetics. Simplistic and beautiful. Just couldn't figure out what am I supposed to do.
A Night In The Dark by lectvs 2020-04-28T08:20:45Z ♥ 1
Loved the game and every moment playing it. Introducing new elements at regular intervals kept the game interesting. I wanted to explore the whole world but died a few times. Will come back later to play more. Just one small issue was I hated when my player threw the log instead of putting it down, same happened with the axe and lost it forever in the dark. Went with a torch to find it but no luck :(
Overall a really amazing game and a lot of fun playing it and the art looks cool
Plant Stranding by Gareth001 2020-04-28T07:14:03Z ♥ 0
Loved the graphics especially 2D character in a 3D game.
Rover Pilot by workshopcraft 2020-04-28T07:03:26Z ♥ 0
Some texture for the mars surface would have been nice. I kept wondering what the controls are as I thought rover was not moving until I saw the minimap. I loved X and Y axis info and percentage showing completed. Spending more time on the game would have brought some awesome game.
The Light Child by hulien22 2020-04-28T06:56:50Z ♥ 1
Fun little game. Just like the others I felt it a bit hard to only carry one item at a time. Had to move child of light and the axe a few inches alternatively.

Nice game. Loved the glowing monsters and their animation.
Dog's Best Friend by MattWoelk 2020-04-27T08:03:19Z ♥ 1
Loved the graphics and movement of the dog. Idea about the theme was awesome. The idea of keeping the hooman alive is cute and lovely. One of the best game I played so far.
Keep It Powered by rob1221dev 2020-04-27T07:52:20Z ♥ 0
Loved the game overall. Art sis cute music is cool. New mechanics kept the game interesting on each level. Got stuck in level 8(feels impossible). Would love to finish the game, so please upload a video with walkthrough. A solid entry all the best
Area 64 by AdamWatters 2020-04-27T07:35:10Z ♥ 1
I really loved the game. Text adventure with good writing is always fun to play. After figuring out the generator password, I kept on dying from either fatigue or the monster. Felt stuck a bit and couldn't complete. Overall a fun experience. Would love to finish it maybe later.
Trollwoods by zondarg 2020-04-27T06:36:38Z ♥ 1
Nice game. Loved the effect of torch and fire. I felt torch did not have much effect as I could see everything in the dark. But overall had fun playing it and loved the adaptation of the theme.

Lighthouse Keeper and the Shadow Pirates by cagibi 2020-04-26T16:12:17Z ♥ 1
Nice game, I loved the graphics, music and sound FX. I loved how you used lighthouse light radius as health, made it easy to check the health. I wish there was a way to repair the light house.

Fun game. Enjoyed playing it. I liked the art style although I couldn't survive for 15 days in 3-4 attempts. I'll try more later.
TreaTrees by RhinoFreak 2020-04-26T11:40:31Z ♥ 1
Congratulations on finishing your first game. I enjoyed playing through it. I feel like it's endless game with no win condition. Art is cool and so is music. The game gets challenging after a few plants (that is you plant them at different locations, later I found out you can plant them in one place). As @qfrct suggested adding some rules improve the experience. Overall good effort for your first game.

Ball Monster by marrero171 2020-04-26T10:06:32Z ♥ 2
I really liked the game and especially art. Music was fantastic and other sound FX as well. I totally agree with @brusi on each point he made. Level 3 and 4 were quite difficult and I gave up dying many times on level 4. Brcause I had to re do everything again and again. Got annoyed and gave up even though I liked the game and wanted to play it. Overall great potential and a good entry.
LD Jam 46 Keep It Alive by brandann 2020-04-26T09:49:43Z ♥ 0
A challenging experience. I died 3 times but haven't been able to beat the game. I'll play it again later to win the game. So far liked the game.

I always play your entries to learn something new. A long time follower and fan. 5 starts all the way and a huge thanks for not showing how many times I failed at the end. That would have been really embarrassing. Loved the game throughout.

Nice game. I loved the idea and adaptation of the theme. Almost everything else I wanted to say about the game has already been said, so I'll spare you with my comments. Overall good game, physics and graphics could make this game really fun.
Mosquito by Leetchi_Heda 2020-04-26T06:26:48Z ♥ 1
Really funny game. I loved the idea and adaptation of the theme. Took me a while to know that you need to attack the same wound to drain blood faster.
Monster Love by Endurion 2020-04-26T06:16:05Z ♥ 0
Loved the game and great adaptation of the theme. Anything to kill flies / mosquitoes, I love it. Good game
Final Interrogation by Gamer Fates 2020-04-26T06:06:47Z ♥ 2
A short but fun game. I found it a bit guessing rather than coming to a logical conclusion. Story telling and writing is good. Information about 3 victims on the same page maybe overwhelming for some people. Overall a fun game. Good luck!
Frostbite by NachoCP 2020-04-26T05:45:46Z ♥ 1
Loved the game. Graphics are really nice (better than I could ever make). Particle effects were really nice and distinctive for both cases (enemy killed and enemy hit the fire). Progression and difficulty felt quite natural in increasing was not too easy or too difficult. I felt like there was no need for player movement as I shot only from one place almost all the time. Also Firing would have felt more fluid if it was mapped with mouse click. Apart from that I really enjoyed he game.
Spawnhood by JammedGame 2020-04-26T05:33:21Z ♥ 1
Funny game. I liked the idea. Maybe I was missing something, but I couldn't decide which option to choose. Apart from that I enjoyed the game and loved the evolving animation and spin, some fire particles would have looked even better (In my opinion).
Light Is Life by DreamerofDays 2020-04-25T11:09:27Z ♥ 0
Nice adaptation of the theme. Although there were on instructions, it was clear what I needed to do. Some small changes would have make the game feel more responsive. For example, flipping the sprite as @guladam mentioned. Using platform effectors, some particles or FX on death and light circle getting a bit darker on the edges.
Overall I really liked playing the game and it fits the theme very well.
Boss Fight by DuckDuckProducktions 2020-04-25T10:59:41Z ♥ 2
I really liked the concept and adaptation of the theme. Music was fitting to the theme of the game maybe loop was short and that's why it starts to feel annoying. But overall had fun.
Keepalive.exe by PTSnoop 2020-04-25T07:23:31Z ♥ 1
Fantastic game. I found controlling a bit difficult but overall awesome game. Innovative and maybe most unique adaptation of the theme.
