Love the mood of this game, from the clever writing, to the limited color palette, to the ever-reducing timer when you're out of the bunker. Having more to do mechanically would be appealing, but I understand the limitations due to the time limit and the game itself. This feels like a glimpse into a concept that can be further explored. Enjoyable world-building from the terminal!
Really unique take on the theme!! I loved the blending of genres and using cards to play loops. The whole game has a distinct style to it, awesome job!
Love the atmosphere and the PSX aesthetics! The game has a unique feel in terms of the mechanics and the visuals/audio. With a little bit more time and polish this has the potential for a bigger game! Adding a bit more feedback would've been nice to see, but I probably rely too much on "juice" and screenshake myself :laughing: But overall a really cool entry!! Awesome work
Absolutely wonderful!! I love everything about it, I would pay for a full game of this idea! Nice job team :heart:
Very elegant submission! I enjoyed juggling multiple things, with both the asteroids, evacuees, and shield. Loved the idea of the shield by the way, a fun twist instead of just one-hit. The sounds, music, and aesthetics created a nice cohesive atmosphere. The screen-wrapping player was a nice touch! :thumbsup:
Love the minimal aesthetic! It makes everything readable, which is super important in a fast-paced game like this. The mini-map was a nice touch. Adding some extra feedback/polish would push this game so much further! Great job :thumbsup:
Charming and fun concept! The shooting feels really nice and the art is solid. Beyond the time limit of the jam, I would love to see more feedback for when the enemies spawn, they kept spawning unexpectedly and dropping on my head :laughing:
A very cohesive and polished entry! Everything works well with each other, from the mechanics, to the art, the UI, and the audio. I like how the UI and mechanics were all contextual to the world, rather than just buttons on the screen. It was fun juggling the mechanics of not only placing plants, but keeping them alive and healthy! That contributed it a lot to the theme, because not only are you to keep the shop "alive" but your plants as well. Awesome job!
I loved the goal of protecting the cat from the dogs and keeping the cat happy. The art was cute and fit the mood really well, my favorite was the hand-drawn framed pictures throughout the castle. Being able to pick up the cat and hearing the sounds he makes made me smile :smile: Nice job!
I love the mood and the world building, this feels like a game with purpose! Twin-stick shooting with an ammo / reload mechanic and escorting was a fun twist on the formula. I would've loved more sound effects / music to add to the mood. Great job!
The little buddy is so cute! The whistling mechanics really made it feel like I was protecting it. The game has a great mood going for it! The aesthetics, sfx, and bgm work so well together. Really enjoyable experience!!
This feels straight out of Rhythm Heaven and I love it for that! I really liked the concise tutorial at the beginning was explained by the person sitting next to you, and the plane with the Ludum Dare banner was a nice touch. The camera bouncing the the beat was fun and effective, and all of the gimmicks to keep you from relying too much on the visuals were really great. Overall a fun cute simple entry!
I love how simple and minimal it is! A unique aesthetic and goal. It was tricky at first but I started to understand the physics and how to keep the amalgam alive. Really cool!
The minimal art makes the game super readable, which is always a plus! I like the dual-purpose design of the stardust making you longer and giving you goop to fire, nice touch. Is there a benefit or reason for the gooperwork getting longer? Thanks!
The generous meters allowed me to run around and explore the world, which I had a lot of time doing! I love that you could pick up and throw basically anything. The zoomed out perspective was nice for seeing a lot of the world at one time! The music and sound effects are so good and add to the mood of the whole game. Great job!!
I love the core mechanic and how it feels to move around the world! I really enjoyed the sections where you had to use the little buddy to push the fruit that the big buddy couldn't reach. Very fun idea :heart:
Such a delight! Loved the writing, the tone, the music, and the art. The world felt cohesive and well-thought. This feels like it could be fleshed out into a whole game! Great entry :thumbsup:
Hello! I love the description, it got me interested in playing it, but when I click the links, I get a 404 from itch.io, maybe I tried the link while you were making changes? Anyway, I'll be back!
I'm glad you got your link fixed! I think this is my first time actually seeing a blender game, that's awesome. I like how fast-paced it is, while being simple to control and understand. I wish there was a sound when one of the fences would break, or when more bushes would spawn. All of the baahs were making me laugh, nice job!
Lovely presentation and polish! It took me some time to get used to the weight / trajectory for the egg, but after I got it, it was really fun! My favorite moment was doing a trick-shot, bouncing the egg off the wall and landing on an otherwise unreachable platform. If I would like to see one change, it would be on the collider for the coins to be just a liiitle more generous. Also, the itch site looks great! I would love to see the same screenshots posted in your description here.
Lovely game!! There's so much to like about it, but my favorite thing is probably the dynamic music. I really enjoyed how it changes based on what you're doing, nice touch! I wish the anxiety meter would pause during the transition animations, but then again anxiety doesn't stop for anything :laughing: Overall excellent!
May got a little off-track, but other than that this was really fun! The large crowds screaming had me laughing :laughing: And the video playback of your recording at the end was super impressive. Good job team!
The game seems unassuming at first, but it really gets interesting when you can start customizing your creature. Really fun idea!!
Cool interpretation of the theme! Very smooth and intuitive with simple controls. Overall a nice polished game, great job!
I love the idea of tearing apart the city and the "no-clip" style movement, that's fun! I'm not sure if it's my fault, but my cursor never locked or disappeared, so it was a bit distracting seeing my cursor fly around while I was playing. :laughing: If it wasn't already added, setting Cursor.LockState to Locked and Cursor.visible to false at the start of one of your scripts would get that out of the way. Nice job guys!
Delightful!! Everything about it was wonderful. It gave me heavy Rhythm Heaven vibes. Awesome job!
I like how simple and approachable it is! The idea of the hearts getting small over time was a fun twist. I also liked how there was a timer going down instead of a score going up!Made me more motivated to keep the hearts full. Controlling the heart was a little off, but other than that it was fun! :heart:
So creative, unique, stylish, and polished! I love SMILE FOR ME, so it was fun to see your entry for LD46!
Really enjoyed the intro sequence! Balancing carrying the candle and the keys was a smart and interesting mechanic.
Simple, unique, and fun! Love the minimal aesthetic, has a nice feel to it. I'm not very good at it, but I had fun anyway! Nice job :thumbsup:
The game was really fun!! The momentum and physics felt great. Always cool to see a game made with Blender's game engine! Also FYI, since you didn't make the audio and didn't opt-out of that section, I decided not to rate the audio. But overall really cool!
Congrats on a finished game! Kinda has Hotline Miami vibes going on. I was unsure of what the mutation did, but being able to move the player and virus at the same time was a fun idea!

@yarl Thanks for playing and for the helpful feedback!
@caeonosphere WOW nice score! You've beaten my record :laughing: I agree, I found myself just holding it down as well. If I were to revisit this, I would definitely do something similar to what you suggested, great idea! Thanks for the feedback!
@baptiste-guerin Thank you so much!! I'm a big fan of single-screen games myself, especially for jams so you don't have to worry too much about getting your camera to feel right :laughing: I'm glad you noticed my little dual-purpose design idea, thanks for playing!
@saering Thank you! I'm glad you noticed the built-in micro-tutorial haha. I completely agree, if I had more time I definitely would've made similar changes. Thanks for the quality feedback!
@anystarabove Thank you very much! Grateful that you noticed all the details and that it feels cohesive. Games that make people happy is my goal :slight_smile: thanks for playing!
@no-grapes-games Thank you so much!! I'm glad you had fun :smile: Thanks for playing!
@williamcarter I'm glad it felt intuitive to play! It was very inspired by "WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!", so I'm glad it has a minigame feel to it :slight_smile: Thanks for playing!
@anystarabove Thank you! I'm glad my mini-tutorial made sense haha
@juanj7 Thank you so much!! I'm glad it was fun, thanks for playing!
@mikdionio Thank you very much! I wanted to keep things simple to make sure I would finish in time to be honest :laughing: But I'm glad that didn't detract from the experience. Thank you for playing!
@empty-set Thank you for playing! I definitely agree, I had some ideas for more hazards, but ultimately ran out of time :sweat_smile: If I were to continue working on this, I would definitely do that! Thank you for the helpful feedback
@primalshadow Thank you so much!! I'm glad you had fun. Also nice hi-score! :open_mouth:

@marcusnystrand After playing yours I would definitely say that yours is funnier in my opinion haha, but thank you! Appreciate the feedback :)
@rubentipparach I'm glad you think so! Thanks for playing!
@nivbeth Simple and clean is a personal goal of mine, so thank you!! :smile:
@sciman101 Thank you for the great feedback! That is precisely why I made all of the yobuds different speeds, that's awesome that you caught that! Thank you for playing :slight_smile:
@zachary-shah Thank you so much for playing and for some super helpful feedback! I'm glad you noticed a lot of the tiny ideas that make the game feel the way it does, that's really validating haha :smile: Love the idea of making parts of the ground (the only other thing you really interact with) hazardous / changing in some capacity. If I were to add more to this, I would definitely do something along those lines, thanks for the suggestion!
@butzbo Thank you for playing! I tried the exact same thing while developing it and knew I had to find a way to keep that from happening :laughing: that's awesome that you caught my little trick!
Unique and well-executed art, balancing both the enemies and the food was fun! I like that you used the same controls to fire your weapon as you would to feed the king, so you could possibly shoot the king if you weren't paying attention, all without adding any additional controls. I enjoyed that you wouldn't lose if you got hit, you would just lose precious time. Great entry!
