Really cool idea and game. It looks like there is no death and I can not worry about getting hit by enemies.

It is a great game! I had a lot of fun playing it. I've managed to set all prices to 0, but it didn't really affect the game.(I don't know if that's a feature or a bug) Very good game anyway!
I like the puzzles you made, they were pretty fun and enjoyable to complete. But moving was to fast I think, maybe you should have made it a bit slower. Very good puzzle overall!
Great game, very nice idea! Very relaxing.
Very cool idea! Took me some time to get from atom to an object and it was too fast on other stages, but it is a good game overall.
@tomcus Thanks for the feedback. I'll take a look at crash you are talking about once I have time.
So, on the third attempt I managed to get over 200 points without dying, after that the game was really easy until the point, when a lot of area was covered by poo and food, and the game actually started lagging a bit. I ended up with a pretty good score, I think.

To solve the difficulty problem, I think, you just need to make the start easier, and the rest harder. You could probably spawn a couple food before the start of the game, so the player had a chance to get to one of them before dying. In the mid-game (what I call a stage before poo overflow) you could limit the amount of food being able to spawn(not sure how hard it is in js, never used it). The rest of the game is pretty simple, and not too bad for a quick jam.
I really liked the idea, even thought the puzzles weren't any hard or required much thinking. In fact, I completed most of them without even looking at the code. I had one problem, which almost made me quit, that is that the fps was very low, at like 10. Graphics and sounds are both great. Edit: apparently I didnt have hardware acceleration on. Toggling it made the lag go away.
@phindiegames Yes, the fact that we made the game multiplayer resulted in a late response due to ping. But I'm not sure about the recipes, as you should see every recipe you can make with the item in your hand. Anyway, thanks for playing our game!
Loved that game so much, that after beating it for the first time, I decided to try to get the fastest time I can. In 40 minutes managed to get 44.4s time. I got screwed by rng once and clipped the wall at the very end, so I guess there's still room for improvement, but that time is definitely hard to beat. Good luck for anyone who attempts to beat my record, and special thanks to the game author!

Edit: new record 43.5s
Pretty cool game! The concept is nice, but the enemies didn't feel threatening, especially the dog. Though, I liked the wave dashes similar to the ones in Giraffe o'clock, so I did one speedrun:

I beat @Meep and that's what matters

Great game with juicy explosions! Completed first in 15 minutes, might actually do some speedruns...

That is a perfect game right here, can't you see? The graphics are top notch.
I really like the clean 1v1 part of the game, I wonder if it could even have deeper yet simple mechanics to increase the skill ceiling.
Brilliant idea that works perfectly for a compo game. Really great execution too!
Though it seemed to me that hitboxes did not quite fit the small enemy sprites? And I swear one of my shots went directly through one of the enemies (discrete collision detection, perhaps?).
@colisan oh i didnt notice there was a post-jam update lol thanks. btw mark is just gonna win it all what do i do
i think i win

i like the concept and it was fun but once i got the strat it was a bit too easy
Good game!
i totally did not panic in the middle and lose all my score.

i liked the concept, but pressing opposite keys was really difficult, idk if that's really a skill issue.
also it wasnt obvious if the game ran out of content or was waiting for me to level up more, it felt like a waiting game a lot.
This might be my favorite game from this LD!

Finding the practical patterns to draw is tricky, but once you get them the game is really fun and skillful
i've solved it

[~~Getting Farted On~~ Beans of Power](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/51/getting-farted-on) finally got a remake
nice game with a cool story! the only thing is that gameplay felt a little idle after a few dives but thankfully it didnt stretch for too long until the end. really enjoyed it!
very nice game! i love a little adventure in every ludum dare. somehow i missed 1 coin in my playthrough but i really enjoyed it! the only thing im thinking if it would be better to not have delay on the whip so it's easier to time air jumps? but other than that very solid game!
really cool waves, 10/10 game, would sink again
@dstoc thanks for playing our game! you've unlocked everything actually, the slots of the drill continuing to go up is a bug. we didn't have time to add any kind of 'you've found everything' screen so it just goes forever.
I really like the graphics and the idea overall! I do wish the movement was a little bit slower so i could control myself better and also i got confused at first when i would jump from shooting horizontally (not directly down). I feel like the idea with variable spread is interesting but doesn't really get to affect gameplay in such small rooms.
Overall, fun times, good job on the compo game!
really fun game actually! got pretty lucky with the coin spawns on my last run and got a nice score :)

A pretty fun game once you understand how to play! I quite enjoyed collecting different Buhs and building my army lol
Legends told me there are Buhs with 6 traits, but I managed to only find one with 4; but I'm happy I found a blue one though!
