First of all, I’m also the "C# No-Web" support group like you. I ran into the exact same issue with Godot 4 this time...

Regarding the game, it feels like a classic Shoot 'em up with a "signal" twist added on top. Visually, the game looks great, and the audio fits the space atmosphere well.

However, I found the balancing to be quite tough. The screen gets cluttered with debris very quickly, and the enemy waves are pretty relentless. I also struggled with the repair/healing mechanic; it didn't feel very clear how or when my hull was actually being fixed. It’s possible I’m just a bit of a scrub at this genre, but some clearer visual feedback for healing would help a lot!

It's a solid, classic game loop. With a bit more fine-tuning on the difficulty and feedback, it would be much smoother. Good job on the delivery!

This game has so much potential! The gameplay feels really fresh and innovative. I think with some character art polish, a more consistent UI, and a few more mechanics, the playability would be top-notch.

One minor thing: I struggled a bit to fully grasp the movement rules at first. It feels a bit short on content right now, but that's totally understandable for a jam! Keep it up, would love to see where you take this!

very nice game...Is it really a compo work??? absolutely impressive! nice music, nice sound, nice action and adoable rabbit! great innovation. a super brilliant work! but it's strange that the drone can not cross the bridge.

This is a fantastic design! I actually toyed with a similar idea involving traffic lights and flow at the start of the jam, but I ended up scrapping it because the logic seemed way too complex to finish in 48 hours. Seeing your take on railway scheduling is super cool!

The UI and art style are really clean, and the audio/BGM is a huge plus—it really ties the whole atmosphere together.

A couple of minor suggestions: The difficulty spike from Level 2 to 3 felt a bit steep. Also, I found it a bit tedious to constantly hover over trains to check their routes. It might be much smoother if the paths were permanently visible or could be toggled on.

Overall, a really solid entry that fits the theme perfectly. Great job!

我笨笨没玩明白机制 感觉缺少一些提示(? 但是真的很有创意hhhh,美术风格也让人看着很舒服,感觉很棒

Light of the Beacon by Sergey Kuznetsov 2026-04-22T14:00:02Z

Overall, a really solid entry! The pixel art and UI/UX are super clean and made for a very comfortable experience. The SFX are on point too, though a background track would’ve really nailed the atmosphere.

The gameplay is super fresh—I haven't played much tower defense game like that before, so it felt really novel. However, the balancing could use a bit of fine-tuning. Some unit behaviors felt a bit erratic and unexplained, and the cards didn't feel distinct enough from one another. Also, the theme connection felt a bit loose to me.

That said, this is an excellent project with tons of potential. With a little more polish, it could be something really special. Awesome job!

really, really good little game for relaxing!!! art is so good and it's not so difficult. easy to play and a lot of interesting words. It's so brilliant for compo!!!

Arc-Lighter by Hs-2300 2026-04-21T06:25:26Z

First off, the presentation is stellar! The opening sequence and UI design create a fantastic sense of atmosphere that immediately drew me in. The art style is consistent, polished, and very easy on the eyes.

Gameplay-wise, it’s a solid robot escape mechanic that fits the theme perfectly. The immersion is top-notch, supported by some really impressive audio and music production. You can tell a lot of heart went into the "feel" of the game.

One bit of constructive feedback, while the core loop is well-executed and complete, the gameplay felt a bit monotonous after a while. Adding some more mechanical variety or diverse content would help keep the engagement high for longer sessions.

Overall, it's a very high-quality indie project for a jam! Great job on finishing such a polished entry.

Green & Yellow & Red by w2k 2026-04-22T14:14:16Z

The concept is cool, but I found the color palette a bit shocking for the eyes. You might want to try some online palette generators (like Lospec or Adobe Color) to balance the tones a bit!

Also, I ran into a weird issue: my character/camera keeps drifting to the right by default. I have to constantly hold the left key just to stay in place. Is this a known bug/feature, or is it just something weird on my end?

Dorm Manager by zj798164639 2026-04-20T18:01:17Z

Wow, first off, the art style is absolutely stunning! From the menu UI to the character sprites, everything looks so polished and charming—it was a real treat for the eyes right from the start.

Regarding the gameplay, the "manager saving students" concept fits the theme well, though the core loop felt a bit conventional in terms of innovation. I ran into some friction with the mechanics: the ultrasonic bat repelling felt a bit finicky at times.

My biggest hurdle was the Ice/Fire level. When the fire student "extinguished" while I was lowering the temperature, I genuinely thought they had died and restarted the level several times! It took me a while to realize they were just "dormant" and could be revived with heat. A clearer visual cue there would have saved me a lot of confusion.

Overall, a visually brilliant entry with a solid theme connection. If the gameplay innovation and mechanical feedback were tuned a bit more, this would be a top-tier project. Great job on the polish!

@zj798164639 thanks! it's my first time to join in a gamejam. i mistakenly use a lot time to build my code, and it's so hurry to make ui. i will keep working on it. thanks for your suggestions!

@mcramon Thanks so much for playing and for the feedback! You hit the nail on the head—I spent so much time wrestling with the core logic and the asynchronous protocol system that I ran out of time for the UI and UX polishing. Making it more intuitive and user-friendly is definitely my top priority if I continue working on it post-jam. Really glad you liked the concept though!

Consensus by moyuowo 2026-04-23T03:15:47Z

@richard-baltrusch Thanks for such a detailed and insightful review!

You really hit the nail on the head regarding the saving issue. Because I implemented a simple scene reload on failure, the instruction queue resets. I totally agree that in a game with statistical packet loss, losing the code makes iteration frustrating—this is definitely my top priority for the post-jam update!

Regarding the difficulty jump, I’m sorry about that! Levels 2 and 3 were designed in the final hours, and I clearly missed some 'stepping stone' levels to bridge the mechanics. Also, sorry about the lack of audio—silence is the price I paid for fighting with the asynchronous logic!

Really glad you liked the concept and the UI. Thanks for the support! I will continue to work on the game!
