This was a nice spin on this years theme! It was fun seeing all the "players" get frustrated at how unreasonably powerful the slime is compared to them.

This was a nice spin on this years theme! It was fun seeing all the "players" get frustrated at how unreasonably powerful the slime is compared to them.
This was a really good game! The movement really captured the controlled unpredictability you tend to get when playing with marbles (the transfer of kinetic energy that happens when you bump into another marble was particularly inspired). It almost reminded me of the ball rolling levels in Mario Galaxy, but the controls for this game are a bit more reasonable. The background art and music were also really fitting, and they made the whole thing feel a bit otherworldly. I loved the charge mechanic, (it’s hard to use yet satisfying to control), but I do wish there was a bit more of an incentive to use it, such as a time limit, disappearing path, breakable object, etc. In its current form it’s just way too easy to ignore this mechanic entirely. I also think that there should have been an indication that you need to reset if you lose one of your marbles. Overall, though, I think the game was really fun, and I had a great time playing it.
I am very bad at spelling, so this game was incredibly difficult for me, but I had a lot of fun with it anyway! The whole thing was a creative spin on both the theme and the game scrabble. The graphical style and presentation were very cute too, I can almost imagine some kid designing a custom scrabble board by hand because the original version has become too easy for them. I do wish that there was a way to reset the an entire board/quit to the main menu that didn't require you to refresh the entire browser, but that's just a minor thing, overall this is a pretty good game.
This game is delightful, I love how small the knight was compared to everything else
This one is delightful, the art style is cute, and I loved reading all the descriptions for the cards that I stole. The stat counters combined with the lack of a lives system also made it easy to make the game as easy or as difficult as I wanted it to be. I wish there was a way to refresh your stats without closing the game, but that's just a minor thing. Overall, this game is great, and I had a fun time playing it
This one is pretty fun! It starts a bit slow for my taste, but it was also rather satisfying getting to carefully slot in flotsam, especially during the later stages where you have less control over where everything goes. The graphics were also rather charming, and I really appreciate the inclusion of an options menu. My high score was 2134, but I think I could have done a little bit better if I hadn't distracted myself trying to take a screenshot Screenshot 2025-10-21 150459.pngScreenshot 2025-10-21 150513.png
I loved the art style in this game, and everything from the music to the sprites to the little string thing trailing behind my little guy was really well done. The tutorial section was also very cute, although I do wish there was a more efficient way to skip it. The game-play itself was simple, yet fun, and I had a good time with it. My high score was 240 points.
I loved this one, the drone was very hard to control, but that combined with the stock explosion every time I accidentally veered straight to the ground made for a very fun and comedic experience for me. The money system is rather unbalanced though, I imagine most of this would have been fixed with the drone upgrades, but the penalty for crashing a drone is still brutal when you’re still learning how to fly the thing. Finally, there is a limit to how much fruit the baskets can hold before they stop letting you sell them. This is pretty inconsequential in this version of the game, but it could become an issue if you decide to implement drone upgrades later on. Overall, I had a great time, would recommend.
Objectively this game is probably a bit too difficult, but the difficulty makes it very chaotic and almost comedic at times, so I kind of love it. (I particularly love the way certain ghosts will just aggressively drift around you while you're desperately trying to not die). However, I do kind of wish there was a score counter of some kind so that I could see how big my ball got or how long I survived.
This one’s pretty good. There's a few glitches, it can be hard to tell the difference between certain obstacles and the background, and the running feels a little bit slow for my taste, but I adore the art style and the music for this game, and the game play itself is relatively solid
Very good game, it's a bit finicky at times, but it's fun trying to hunt down the custom success/failure messages that come with buying too much of one thing
This is a pretty good platformer! The atmosphere was nice, and the camera was pretty good for a platformer of this type, even without considering the time constraints. I wish that there were more optional challenges scattered throughout the map, but the challenges you did provide were pretty fun! It is unfortunate that the music didn't loop, but I just opened the level ost link you provided and restarted it every time I ran out of music, so it wasn't a big deal in the end.
This game is a little bit confusing, but the interactions with everything were cute. I also wish that there was a way to retrieve the darts that we lose behind the couch without restarting, I want to see what happens when you pop all of the balloons
The art was very good in this one, and the concept itself was a very creative twist on the theme. I wish that I was able to experiment with the colors a little bit more, but you did a very good job with the everything considering the time and technical constraints!
