I really enjoyed playing this! I really liked the field of view mechanic, it felt like a great combination of exploring and puzzles. Well Done!

I really enjoyed playing this! I really liked the field of view mechanic, it felt like a great combination of exploring and puzzles. Well Done!
I really liked your audio and game design. Hitting the bell and hearing that DONG felt very good to me and I just wanted to clear the enemies and get the hit the bell again. The graphics were kind of minimal but I liked it in a weird way and the audio definitely made up for it. This is for sure one of those games that I want to keep playing even after the game jam.
This was weirdly addicting to me. The digging took a minute to get the flow but I ended up really enjoying constantly digging and checking to see whether if I needed to get a stage reset so I could farm some more items. I think you have a really cool concept here that I would love to see more of. Thanks for giving me the opportunity of playing your game!
I really enjoyed the smoothness to your game and the animations, It felt great to pick up items and place things down. I did have a problem figuring out what to do and what was doing what, I think some extra information whether tool tips or a in-game wiki would have been very helpful in that aspect. Regardless, I really enjoyed playing!
I really enjoyed the feel of your game. Even though I was cursing you within a couple minutes, I thought the challenge was fun and a refreshing take on a puzzle game. The graphics were nice to look at and the lighting is a fantastic addition to bring life to the game!
I loved the theme to your game along with the graphics, the retro visceral feel was refreshing and the sound was the cherry on top. Unfortunately, I struggled to figure out to do and how. I took me a few tries to figure out how to survive a wave and from there it just felt like I could keep stacking Jaw components to defeat the little people. Overall, I love the feel of your game and the art style definitely has a lot of potential.
I loved your art style for this game. It took me a couple minutes to figure what to do but when I did I was ready to start moving my progression. In the end, I found the 'idleness' of the game to be a bit slow but there's a lot of potential here from the graphics to the main mechanics. I'd love to see this in a full-fledged game!
Really enjoyed the 'idle' aspect of the game but I did feel like the upgrades became obsolete about mid game and felt like I could keep summoning allies without too big of a hit on my soul counter. Loved the audio clips, really gave life to the game!
Really enjoyed this; as some else said "Nice and simple". The sounds were lovely and the controls felt smooth.
While I really enjoyed your math mechanics, and I liked the spawn by points gained by correctly solving equations. It was a very refreshing game mechanic but I wish I had more time to accumulate points and that there was less risk to incorrectly solving equations. None the less, I really enjoyed playing your game and definitely gonna play again tomorrow!
I really enjoyed your art style and that floating mechanic (not sure what to call it) was really fun to play with. I wish there was more explanation on the 'special blocker' blocks as I got a bit stuck at that part but none the less this was fun to play that had a refreshing mechanic that I'd love to play with more. Cheers!
WOW! Where to even begin! First off, what you created is something special. From the graphics, to the mechanics, to the audio, this is a fantastic 'taste' of a game. The graphics/text really brought this game to life and the mechanics were VERY smooth to a point where I was already upset that there wasn't more of a game. I know you are a bit bummed that you ran out of time but man... this is amazing and you should be very proud of yourself. I really wish you continue working on this because this is definitely something I would pay to play. Thanks for allowing me to enjoy this piece of gameplay!
I got naughty clause! I really enjoyed playing this short little idle game you made. The graphics look good and the game play felt great but I didn't hear any sound. Would have loved to have a little more game play in there just cause I was ready to strap in for a couple hours! hahaha
I really enjoyed your art style and mood of the game. Unfortunately, I wasn't too sure if I was playing it right. I would hit boot, wait, then go flying in the air and die. Hope I was missing something cause I really wanted to see more of the game!
Really had fun trying to figure this out! Would love to see more!
I was able to reach 14m! It took me a couple minutes to figure how to actually play but when I did, I really enjoyed the mechanics. It reminded me of older IOS games where you had to survive getting hit. Thanks for letting me play!
I loved the music and mechanics. Mixing and matching items in an attempt to satisfy a customer was a fun challenge and I like the freedom to pick and choose in a desperate hope that I got it right. I did have problems reading the tool tips and after a little bit felt like I was just looking for the keywords to throw in and hope it worked. The music was a fun addition as well!
I really enjoyed playing this game, its been a long day and this has been by far the most relaxing game I've played so far and it felt very relaxing to try to match the tiles.
I ended up losing by 6 points. The mechanics and graphics are fantastic and really give a feel to the game. I did feel like the opponent turn times ran a little long and in the beginning I was a bit lost but at the end I was watching carefully to see what my next move would be and who I would choose to siphon from. Thanks for letting me play!
I really enjoyed your visuals and the mechanics. Something refreshing and challenging!
I really enjoyed your visuals and how smooth the gameplay felt. I did feel like the audio was a little loud but none the less felt like a cool little game to play and the stakes felt high!
