It's a pretty cute game, and fun to have the ship build around you. Like others have said, having the camera fixed like that made it difficult to navigate. It also would have been nice to prevent falling off the edge.
Nice short game, and I loved the look of the graphics. Silly and child-like, which is what made it great.
The premise is amusing and the graphics are quite charming. I was definitely sad about the lack of sounds, as those sound popups are just begging for some sweet audio to go along with them. The levels also often felt quite empty and I found myself wishing for a minimap.
This is a really cool idea, but man I was struggling to figure out how to connect the pieces in the way the game wanted me to. I felt I knew what I needed to do, I just couldn't figure out how to get there.
I like the graphics and the music, but I had some major issues. The first several times I played, the snow piled so high so quickly that I would be trapped and couldn't do anything. Like within the first few seconds of the game I had giant snow piles on either side of me. The crafting is also fairly awkward.
This is a great game, there's an impressive amount of polish on this. I loved the intro section. The graphics are good as well as the audio. I do wish the restart could be faster, it took a long time to get going again after dying.
Quite a bit of content here, and so many jokes. I admit I didn't finish, but it seems pretty good!
Very excellent puzzle game. Looks clean, works well. I admit, I'm not very good at it, it took be forever to figure stuff out.
The pixel art graphics are great, seems like a solid start to an interesting game.
Very nice game, loved the puzzle mechanics. I did find a place where I ended up stuck in an "ouch!" loop and had to start over.
Well that was fun and cute and clever and all sorts of things. I guess the only complaint I have is that it gets a bit repetitive, so it would be nice to be able to skip through conversations a bit faster. But that's barely a complaint, overall it was great.
Fantastic graphics, and the game just felt great to play. Controls felt good, sounds were great.
Cool game with a clever puzzle mechanic. I certainly wish there were more levels to play through. Also it would have been nice if enter or space or something moved to the next level, so I could do everything with the keyboard.
Interesting game, amusing to play. It was actually longer than I was expecting, given the description.
I win!

Clever game. Not much to it, but i still enjoyed it.
Fantastic game. I love word games like this, and this felt very polished and fun. I'm not sure if I missed it, but a keybind to reshuffle your letters would be nice, since it's common in a lot of games like this. Helps to find words you might have missed. Also, I hit Esc hoping to see a menu, and closed the game instead :(
A nice little platformer, with a pretty well designed level. I enjoyed the simple graphics. I did get confused in the very beginning when the second orb appeared almost off the screen behind me, and I ran off in the wrong direction for a while.
A clever use of the theme for sure. I do like some riddles. Some of them were surprisingly difficult.
I always love a Halloween themed game. The graphics were fun, and it has some nice spooky music. I do wish there were some more goals or something, because it felt repetitive.
Well that was adorable. Good graphics, solid music. I feel like when dashing over gaps sometimes it just wouldn't work right and I would fall. Also the moving platforms were a bit weird when they overlapped.
Beautiful game, and the music is lovely as well. They both lend to an awesome atmosphere.
Surprisingly fun game, and I can't resist Halloween-themed games. I wish removing weeds wouldn't have reset my next pumpkins though, I removed the weeds so I could plant them!
Very nice looking game. The graphics, audio, and general atmosphere are fantastic and all work together well. I definitely got lost, and it would have been nice if I could move a bit faster after reaching a complete dead end.
Pretty cool concept here. I was a bit confused at first because it didn't feel like anything was happening, and in the second part I just typed every letter until I got it. Cool effects and stuff.
I loved the graphics, they look very cool. A bit sad about having no sound though, that would have made it feel so much better! It was also a bit unclear at first what I was supposed to do.
An interesting take on the theme, and an interesting experience. Had a cool look, but it felt a bit slow at times. I also got the memory error at the end.
It's a cool idea, although it seemed there wasn't much to do besides spam click and watch bits fly by. Watching the way things moved around was kinda nice though.
I loved the look and gravity mechanic of this game. Music is nice too. Unfortunately I got stuck multiple times so I never was able to get very far.
It seems like a cool game and seems to work fine, but I didn't really understand what I was doing half the time.
Well that was a weird experience. Don't worry though, I made it out with my sanity intact.
Very clever idea.
Fun little game, I loved the sword attack sounds. FYI, 1920x1080 is a 16:9 aspect ratio, not 16:10.
This game looks amazing and has a great atmosphere to it. The abilities look cool to use, even the death animation is cool. The music and sounds fit really well too.
I did wish the controls were slightly different. Having to select an ability and then press space felt like an extra step, why not just have them activate on the initial keypress? I also found myself always wanting to throw blocks with a click instead of with spacebar. Even still though, the game felt awesome to play.
Awesome game! I loved the graphics and the concept in general. I did feel like it was a bit buggy when it came to grabbing food, and the attack mechanic felt awkward, but overall it was great.
Both the graphics and the music are great in this game. And I love seeing a multiplayer game, that's something I haven't seen yet.
Definitely a cool looking game. I wish there were some closer starting resources, and some things seemed really slow, but overall it seemed great.
That was truly fantastic. I thought it was over at one point, but it just kept going! The narration was amazing, art was awesome.
That was super cool, definitely unlike any other game I've seen so far. I was definitely confused about what to do a couple times, but that didn't really detract much from the experience. I would love to see more of this.
A cute little game with fun graphics. It felt a bit slow to play, lots of running and not much else.
Funny game, the graphics initially reminded me of Adventure Time. Pretty difficult too, or I'm just not good at it.
That was a pretty great game. Graphics are good, the gameplay feels great, the music is spot on (though perhaps a bit repetitive after a while).
Nice job, I always like a story game. I would say the font, shadow, and colors didn't lend to easy reading. Some separation between paragraphs would be good too. If you wanted to make this a bit nicer, some simple animation on the text might go a long way.
It was a fun playthrough, but I wish there were more branches of story, rather than just a bunch of instant dead ends.
It's a fun game, I love the concept. Pixel art is charming as well. I wish it started out a bit slower though, and then sped up over time. It would give it a bit better pace.
Seems like a promising start to a unique game. I think the character looks nice, and the graphics are pretty good with the exception of the weird seams between tiles. Unfortunately, it was really hard to understand what things turned into what other things, since it all happened instantly. It could also really use some simple sound effects to give weight to your actions.
This is a really cool idea for a puzzle game, and it works quite well. That difficulty jump for the 4th level is crazy though, it seems way harder than the first three.
I enjoyed the pixel graphics, they look good. The audio was pretty good, though the voice sounded a bit odd. The walking was a bit too much in my opinion, the level could have been smaller and still been good.
Great little game. Graphics are good, and I loved the sound effects.
This was a really cool puzzle level. It has great graphics and feels quite polished. I wish the direction blocks in the UI would rotate with the camera so you could always tell which way it was pointing. Also it would be nice if the "ghost" placement block would show which block you are placing as well. Also, it seemed a lot of the levels had plenty of extra blocks. It would also be nice if the character moved a bit faster.
It's a simple card game, but fun. It definitely started to get repetitive after a while, and it feels like there's way too much healing, so it makes the rounds last forever. On level 3 I think, I played numerous rounds, and both players were still at full health!
The original video is a classic, and very appropriate for the theme. It wasn't made by you though, so I can't really give credit for it. A game based around the concept would be cool, but I was able to launch one particle and then couldn't seem to do anything.
This game has a very clever puzzle mechanic. I've decided I'm pretty bad at it, but it's still amazing! I wish I could drag around parts rather than having to delete and replace.
It's a clicking game, what more can I say? I do wish you had some clicking upgrades so that it felt like you could do something useful besides wait a lot.
I loved the opening bit, it was quite adorable. I wasn't sure what to really do during the game, and it was hard to tell where the enemies were in relation to me.
That is a solidly made game. The graphics are great, audio is good, it felt good to play.
Definitely a very solid game! I only wish there were more options of things to do.
The game seems pretty cool, though I wish I understood more what I'm actually doing. A bit of a tutorial would be nice. I also had trees moving around on their own, is that meant to happen?
Very cool. I was a bit confused at first, but figured out what I was meant to do.
Okay, I've seen a few of these now, and this one is one of the coolest. The visuals and the sounds both just make this one awesome.
Definitely a cute robot. Rather difficult, and the controls felt a bit weird, but it was fun!
That was a pretty cool game. I enjoyed the graphics and the mechanic was interesting, though a bit fiddly at times. It seemed I often couldn't repossess something I had already possessed previously, I'm not sure if that was intentional.
A fun trading game with a charming graphical style. Also lots of fun dialogue. I did notice that the guy next to the king had his trade partially covered by the level.
Cool concept, super easy to make mistakes though, and then you have to start all over.
There are some cool mechanics to this game. I like that it starts out easy but scales up to a point where it's actually quite difficult. I definitely got confused after a while by which finger does what, though I'm not sure how best to fix that.
@organicpencil Very nice! My own high score was only 340.
It's a cool idea, but I struggled to get anywhere. I wish there was a way to learn what does what, unless I've missed something, it seems like it's just a pure guessing game.
That was a really neat concept, I would have loved to have more constellations to find.
Interesting concept, though I wish there was a bit more direction given for what you are meant to do. I eventually figured it out, but this game would definitely benefit from a small tutorial level.
Fun game, amusing idea and plays well. It does get a bit repetitive though, it would have been nice to have a bit of variation in houses, enemies, or something.
I think this is a cool concept, simple but fun. I was really annoyed by the behavior of the tail though, the fact that it stays in a straight line instead of being a proper trail made it really difficult to avoid getting hit, because it would snap around and run into things.
A simple game with nice visuals. As others have said, some good sound effects would have made it even better. I think my hand doesn't like this game though.
Seems like a cool game overall. I do wish there was a bit more explanation for the blocks, and it didn't look like there was a way to start over after you lose, which would have been nice.
This game was pretty great, I liked the graphics and audio, and the mechanic worked well. I do wish that the button to switch scenes didn't move around, and even had a bind, like maybe the scroll wheel.
It's a nice start to a game. I think the opening hallway is a bit long, and I was having a hard time placing blocks sometimes.
A fun little game, though it was a bit confusing. I'm definitely used to using WASD for movement.
It's a nice little game, I liked the graphics. The combat felt a bit weird, and I wished there were some more sounds.
Picked this game purely for the name. It was a fun game, easy and clearly inspired by other games. It was hard to tell if I was even moving in the middle of the ocean, and I definitely feel I got too big too fast. But still, fun little game.
It seems like it could be a pretty fun game. The controls definitely felt awkward though, especially the jump button. Also, ads in a game jam game? Not sure how I feel about that.
I can't help but feel like persuading people to give me items to sell back to them would work well in real life...
Definitely a cool concept for a game, and it worked fairly well. The controls were a bit awkward, and I wish there was feedback (sound and graphics) for hitting things. But pretty cool!
Very enjoyable game, with cool graphics. It gets more fun over time, especially as you get the upgraded attack. I do wish the upgrade screen was on the death screen, having to go back and forth was inconvenient and seems unnecessary. Collecting coins was also just a bit annoying sometimes. Overall though, great game!
It took me a minute to understand what was going on, but once I did I realized how clever this is. Simple concept, but a neat idea, and a great response to the theme.
A cool puzzle game with some neat mechanics. I for one, actually liked the screen shake, I thought it felt cool. I did expect my character to move when standing on a horizontally moving platform, especially since it moves up and down just fine. I also wish there were some sound effects.
That was a pretty cool game, I liked the mechanic of it, and the sounds were nice. I do wish you could see at least a tiny bit further, or maybe have some kind of hints in the level that an obstacle is approaching. And the spike hit boxes felt a bit unfair. Great game though!
Interesting game. I like the rock paper scissors thing, but I definitely can't keep track of those different moves. Maybe with lots of practice.
A very interesting experience. Music was nice, and the mechanics worked well. I liked the progress bar for the dialog sections.
I liked the overall feel and the creepy laugh. I know others have said this, but the slow movement really killed my desire to find all the endings.
Quite an enjoyable game. Simple but nice graphics. It was surprisingly difficult at first. I do wish the "edges" of the map were more clearly marked, I kept dying there until I figured it out.
It seems like a good start to something interesting, but I was really struggling with the movement controls. It was really difficult to make small adjustments.
The graphics are very nice, and the game seems to run pretty well. It got a bit repetitive after a bit, but overall a nice game!
Very pretty game, I clicked on it based on the thumbnail alone. Cool concept, though I wish I didn't have to hold the mouse button down so much.
Well that was unexpected. Amusing, though holy crap (pun intended) I was moving fast. So hard to control!
I loved the look and feel of the game, and the audio was great. I ran into a few issues though. I got stuck in a couple places. Also, when I got attacked by a teenager I didn't have enough bravery to do anything and had to restart the game. The camera clipping into the houses was also a minor annoyance. Overall though, cool game.
The game has some cool visuals. It felt like dark energy increased a bit to quickly, though I guess the idea was to make the game go fast.
I think the right word for this game is adorable. I love the flowers, they look fantastic. The game is super relaxing and chill, just growin my flowers.
I definitely like the visuals, and the game is easy to pick up and quite fun!
That was a neat little experience. Short, but cool.
Simple game, but plays well. I loved the music. It's pretty unforgiving, and while I liked the quick resets, I wish there was a bit of reaction to losing. An animation, sound effect, something to give loss a bit of weight.
That was a fun game to play, nice graphics and audio. I loved the concept as well. I did sometimes feel like I couldn't jump when standing on enemies, don't know if that was intended.
This is a super cool concept, and the graphics are great, sound is great, the impacts feel good. It's all good. But man, that is hard. I need an easy mode where the bullets are slower.
Fun idea, insanely difficult though. Definitely a game beyond my own skills.
What a great looking game! And very fitting background music/sounds.
Cool, game, I enjoyed the art. It definitely got repetitive, since all I was really doing was collecting wood and standing still at night. Reaching the edge tells you to find what you seek deeper in the woods, but I never found anything different.
Loved it! A great take on minesweeper. Took me a few attempts to really get past the minesweeper mentality of needing to clear everything. I did notice a weird bug, where if you have more than one of the card upgrades, once you use the first one, the card animates weirdly across the screen and basically forces you to use it again in order to see what you're doing. I feel like it could also use a measurement of how deep you've gotten. Awesome game!
I love the pixel art in your game! There's some nasty graphical glitches, and the movement felt a bit glitchy sometimes as well, but it still looks great!
This is fantastic! Wonderful art and fun game mechanics.
Fun classic game! I liked the theme of it, and the pixel art was nice.
Cool game, fun graphics. Needs some kind of mechanic to be able to avoid bombs.
Very cool game here, with good atmosphere and story. Wandering left and right did feel a bit slow a times, but still a cool experience.
Fun little game, I loved the art. My poor little fuzzball got chopped many times.
Very clever interpretation of the theme. I'm a bit sad that there isn't more of it.
Great game! Love the art and the music. My only complaint is it felt super difficult to control. Not sure if I was just bad at it, but I took so much damage from running into walls.
Very cool puzzle game that looks great and feels great to play.
Cool idea for a game! The movement mechanics felt a bit weird, the fact that you need to move down by running into corners doesn't feel particularly good.
Beautiful graphics and great gameplay! Was super fun to play, and the mechanic to force you to think about your jumps was very interesting.
Pretty cool game! I felt like the controls were a bit tricky, and the square in particular was especially difficult to dodge, but overall nice job.
I love the pixel art in this game! The gameplay was super simple and got repetitive pretty quick, but I think this is a cool start to something bigger.
The web version doesn't seem to be working right now.
What a wonderful game! Everything works super well together to make a great experience. My one complaint is that sometimes it felt like the upgrades were almost downgrades, as they made it more difficult to control. Still though, super awesome.
Cool game, I love the concept of eating projectiles, and the eating animation is very amusing. The difficulty ramp could probably use some tuning, and the eating mechanic is a bit awkward to time correctly.
Excellent game. The character art and design are incredible, and the sounds and music are great as well. Definitely lacking in the theme department, but other than that, it's a great game!
Loved the game, it's got some fun art and great music. I didn't always understand the spinning mechanic, and the camera angles made the direction keys confusing sometimes. Overall awesome game!
Cool game! I was absolutely terrible at it though.
Fun little game to play through. Throwing your weapon was interesting, though having to throw what you're holding to pick up healing was a bit weird.
Great game! Plays well, and looks good! Reminds me of some fishing games, except with a claw instead.
The moment I heard the music I knew I was in for a treat. It got a _bit_ repetitive, but it was still fun, and the voice acting was great too. The only annoying bit was the fact that you could only hold one sword. Even knowing this, I picked up an extra more than once, and then got stuck for a bit before I realized what I had done. Some kind of sound effect to let you know you did that might have helped.
@chironyx @vasco-freitas Thanks! I agree that there needs to be a way to speed up or skip over the first part. It's one of the many things on the list of stuff I didn't have time to do.
@suchista That's an impressive score! I think around 1500 the game becomes dramatically more difficult, and I didn't really spend time balancing it beyond that. I do plan to go back sometime and try to balance things out a bit.
Great game! It was a lot of fun to catch the souls. I love the huge variety of upgrades after each round. I wish there were walls on the sides, because sometimes they would go flying off the edges. Also I saw them go right through the walls of my buckets at times (which I used to my advantage a few times). Overall, awesome!
Clever idea. I think I would be really bad at this game though.
Fun new version of Minesweeper, I love the extra stuff you can buy from the shop. The one thing I really missed was the ability to mark a tile as dangerous.
Fun game with nice art! The platforming across screens was a bit frustrating, but overall pretty great!
Cool game, the background music is nice, and the mechanic is interesting. The contract between the ground and the backdrop needs to be increased, it was quite difficult to see on my monitor. I died many times in the beginning before I looked closer and realized what was going on.
Love the art of this game, and the ambient background sound feels cool. It's definitely missing a sound for taking damage (I didn't even notice sometimes), and also for picking up coins. The fact that there was such a prominent sound for running into walls made me think at first that I needed to avoid that.
That was an excellent game! There were some great puzzles there, a couple that had me stumped for a bit, but I figured it out.
Excellent puzzle game! I enjoyed it the whole way through. Some good level design, and great music as well. I think I would have preferred it if the controls were the other way around, but that's just personal preference. Great work!
Fun little game. Wish there would have been a bit more to it. Great art, and some lovely music!
Fantastic! The game was fun and felt great to play. Great art as well.
What a fascinating game. Winning usually just felt random, but it was still amusing.
Fun game! Love the name! My second game felt like there wasn't as much treasure to find without diving so deep that it would kill me. I also found myself getting stuck on walls sometimes, which made jumping out of the water tricky.
There are some nice puzzle mechanics here, and some well-designed puzzles as well!
This game has great audio. The opening dialogue was weird (in a good way). Leading the flies was a bit awkward, but I guess they are flies. The art is simple but I still think it looks great.
So very deep. I wish pressing space would have finished the dialog without closing it, so I didn't have to wait for the animation. Lots of fun jokes!
Nice little game with fun graphics. Seems like your depth counter only goes to 100 before it resets.
Great game! It's got some good music and art, and an interesting game mechanic. I guess my main complaint is it felt like I often didn't have the blocks I needed to continue.
Interesting game, level 3 was especially difficult. I think it would have been nice if the camera was positioned further ahead of the block, so you could see where you're going. Perhaps that would make it too easy, but as it was it was a bit frustrating.
