Oh my god... I'm here after April's 'Moth' (which was super intense lol) and I feel like you are going to carry on with the one-minute game theme in the next Jams... :D
Now let's get to rating this. Interestingly enough, I would not really call this a game, this is a pure satisfaction created just by mouse clicking and moving. The effects are really well made and the mood is definitely great! It's also nice to see one person to actually make both 2D and 3D game in two Ludum Dare Jams. There is a good point in @sliphtrex comment - if the tiles spawn infinitely, I wouldn't have to restart it every time I want to start over. Other than that I think this is quite effective minimalistic take on this LD's theme. Sometimes simple is just better.

The Giant's Globe by Jvdwijk 2023-10-09T17:59:18Z ♥ 4
I really like the concept of this game, actually feels like something that I expect from game jams. The controls and movement might seem a little bit clunky, but that's only my opinion, to be honest, I enjoyed the whole game and might speedrun it later (how tf does someone get 2:40 on this???)
Great entry. Glad I finally managed to play it.
Magical Veggies by zanagi 2023-10-09T17:39:56Z ♥ 2
The game is very polished and I really like this concept, where you innovated the 2048 a bit there. It definitely fits the theme very well and I enjoyed playing all the levels on my stream so much.
P.S.: There is a small bug where when you collide with two same-type veggies at once, it upgrades by two. But it doesn't happen a lot.
Boo! Bark! by Doot 2023-10-09T17:18:06Z ♥ 2
I love the visuals of this game and the original idea of the gameplay. The connection to the theme, is quite small, but that doesn't matter that much. Love the polished look of the game and simple controls. The levels from 6 and on start to get really challenging quickly!
Good job!
DARQY by Euler Moises 2023-10-09T17:07:44Z ♥ 2
The idea in itself is very cool, but I don't particularly enjoy the execution that well. For me it is maybe a bit too frustrating to search on every single square to not find anything. Anything simple such as simple hints would do the trick for me. At the end, I just found myself going randomly and not even listening anymore. I believe though that with a little bit of tweaking, this could be a nice and interesting game.

Don't seem to understand how to run the game properly? Am I missing something?
Edit: Found it, but the game is very laggy for me, would downloading it work better?
If I Fits, I Sits! by cheesepencil 2023-10-09T16:38:33Z ♥ 2
That's one hell of a cat! Impressive original take on the theme. Loved playing this on stream, it's just so much fun! Only thing I would add is to indicate the hitboxes/edges of the box more. Other than that, gameplay-wise it's perfect.
Knife Versus AK by livinamuk 2023-10-09T16:25:54Z ♥ 2
Interesting entry, I can see you probably went the more stylish approach there, focusing more on rendering and character model than on more complex mechanics. It's actually really easy to win the game quickly if you just spam left and right mouse button (I'm a speedrunner, I realized that VERY quickly lol).
But in general, nice entry with interesting theme to it.
Space Ltd. by mortusnegati 2023-10-09T16:11:13Z ♥ 3
Really liked the idea of this game, it feels very unique and required quite some visualization from me. There is definitely some way of making the game even more friendly for people not that good at visualizing 3D, but I don't know whether that's the goal, so I won't say anything.
Overall, great entry executed with a nice level of polish.
The ECRU Experience by Dock Frankenstein 2023-10-09T16:01:17Z ♥ 2
Mike lured me into the hole of betrayal. Mike is a deceiving piece of red T-shirt who will steal your faith in yourself. Don't be like Mike.
Good game though. I felt really stupid checking the wall behind myself after the first room and not the second. Interesting concept!
Infinitum Labyrinth - Space Un-LIMITed by AweSkyBear 2023-10-09T15:42:33Z ♥ 2
I really liked this game and it's challenging puzzling concept. Didn't finish it yet, but I definitely want to. The controls feel natural and I like the faster movement which is essential in this game. Overall - a solid LD54 entry!
P.S.: I'm got some brain damage pls help 💀
Prickle by Kultuk 2023-10-07T20:05:59Z ♥ 4
Nice and cute game! Although you mentioned you aren't really artists, I love the sketchy style and you actually inspired me to try out similar style visuals myself (maybe next jam, who knows?). And puzzle genre is probably one of my favorite existing game genres. Good job! 👍
Greasy Justice by kasmilus 2023-10-06T18:40:58Z ♥ 2
I like the idea of this game and that you can choose the movement of enemies yourself. But that being very time consuming I think enemies are spawning in much higher rates than I am able to handle. It definitely requires some strategy, but maybe one small suggestion would be to extend the wave timer or rework the stuck roll, since it does something like placing a new small wave, and enemies stack up quickly.
Other that what I just mentioned - lovely visuals and music and great idea and level of polish in execution. It's really hard to make a working game like that in just 2 days. Hats off 👍
Gyronimo by pepnou 2023-10-06T18:19:20Z ♥ 3
I didn't rage I promise. But I really wanted to try to speedrun this, but it obviously needs much more practice and I don't have that much time now, especially when streaming. Other than that - loved the original visuals and unforgiving gameplay.
My main issue is noclipping into the floor randomly and uneven jump height (at least for me). Othe than that - great game 👍
Ominos by OgelGames 2023-10-06T17:56:01Z ♥ 2
As a current WR speedrunner of The Password Game, this is really satisfying to see. I like the level of polish and simplicity of this puzzle game and have to say against it. Altough as you can expect, it isn't that much of a challenge so far compared to TPG. Amazing game nonetheless!
Quantum Space by DS Nahogara 2023-10-06T17:44:44Z ♥ 0
The game doesn't run for me (at least for now). I'll play it later if I manage to make it work somehow.
Snow Rose by Shiivers 2023-10-06T17:35:55Z ♥ 3
A fantastic game! Please continue working on this, you are so good storytellers and everything just feels so polished and natural (except maybe for the controls yeah 😆 ). I have nothing to say here. The best LD54 game I've played so far.
You really should promote the game more in the feed. The game deserves it.
Spidy by 0xrainbow 2023-10-06T17:20:57Z ♥ 1
OMG I didn't realize my MOM wanted that coke even though I collected everything before I even gave her the can.
There are some minor bugs, but I expected that from a first LD jam entry. Keep up the good work!
P.S.: Honestly, the spider dances better than me.
Age of TinyVillage by Halvardo13 2023-10-06T17:04:59Z ♥ 3
I really like the polished graphics and SFX in this game, and had a lot of fun just placing and moving stuff. However, the game needs more balancing - after a certain point, it is literally impossible to lose. I won't give any recommendations myself, since @cyber-puffin has described them perfectly.
Into the Vents by Phaix 2023-10-06T16:48:00Z ♥ 2
Quite a nice and short game, enjoyed playing it during the stream. I'm a little disappointed it didn't turn out to be a horror game, but I still enjoyed it pretty much.
Limited Survivor by Jhonny111 2023-10-05T19:41:19Z ♥ 1
Nice take on turn-based strategy genre combined with the theme. Definitely a solid first game jam entry!
Ma|n|dness at shopping by andrei.gusan 2023-10-05T19:39:56Z ♥ 3
PLEASE make this a full game. It's so innovative concept (at least to me it seems) and although there is some degree of replayability, I want more! I feel like everything in this game is so good and polished, but the focus on the storyline maybe hindered the developement of some more "mechanics" or "levels". Doesn't mean there shouldn't be a story, but I myself would try to incorporate that in post-jam version and focus more on the playable part of the game.
P.S.: that 100MB file got me chuckle
Calves of the Braves by Furano 2023-10-05T19:36:21Z ♥ 2
Omggg loved this game - such a cute design and fun mechanics. Sometimes I found myself mashing stuff randomly but hey - it worked 😆
Sea Adventure by Tero Pulkkinen 2023-10-05T19:34:20Z ♥ 2
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was a Billy O' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Boxed In by raassh23 2023-10-05T19:31:08Z ♥ 2
Was trying to beat the record for over an hour.
To no avail. I've got a best of 39. (might try again later)
I didn't rage more during a LD entry.

Honestly I love how addictive this game is, but there are still some small improvements to be made, especially with the purple circles, which are just incredibly unfair, since they kill you whenever they appear from outside the box (I suppose shapes have some 0.5 second countdown before becoming active, but since circles spawn outside, they are already active when getting in). And thus I marked the only real negative of the game - no signalization whatsoever. Some people might like it, but as I said, it just feels unfair in some circumstances (and also prevents me from encountering later shapes).
But I should not rate this game on a single fact like this. I love the perfect level of polish balanced with simplicity and clarity of the game. It's fun, I've played it on the stream and again a while ago, with 39 as my best (as mentioned above). Me being a passionate rage game player. This is something I have to give a try later again 😆
Multiplosphere by Ausstein 2023-10-05T17:53:25Z ♥ 2
This game is quite nice - rather simple and interesting, although my laptop couldn't really handle it when more spheres started appearing (even worse when streaming lol) - it went downhill very quickly from there 😆
Someone has already mentioned the problem with high sensitivity. I personally even use lower mouse sensitivity than most people I's say, so I see that as potential problem for some players.
Other than that - interesting take on the theme!
Burglary Bonanza! by kasperhangard 2023-10-05T17:49:08Z ♥ 1
I would praise the visuals, but the attention to detail in this game is more stunning. Making use of every damn noise and small movement or anything to add atmosphere to the game, while keeping everything else simple and clear and fitting, is such an excellent touch! Besides that, I've loved stealth games as a kid!
P.S.: I'm still missing that precious piano I've lost driving away 🙁
Dwarf Life by arvis 2023-10-05T17:44:26Z ♥ 3
Nice little game and I enjoyed playing it and getting used to the mechanics. I like really the unrestricted nature of ladder placement and being able to develop a certain strategy.
However I think the game could maybe be more balanced, which - in this scenario - I understand is really hard to achieve because there are only four items to buy. At one moment i just kept spamming blue dynamite to get more blue dynamite (basically unlimited) and only failed because there might be a bug when buying stuff - sometimes it automatically places and uses it on the door. But that was something I would personally not care that much about I think. But there was other more important thing I mentioned on stream - I wished there was a healthbar so you would have to be careful when using your dynamite. I doubt it would be hard to implement and it is my only more serious critique.
Other than that - great game! (for your second game jam - certainly)
Hazel & Hector by cassowary 2023-10-02T22:21:54Z ♥ 2
Had a lot of fun playing this! The controls feel very natural and I enjoyed the puzzles, which weren't so easy but weren't so hard either. I especially liked level 9, which intentionally leads you into a trap, just so you can realize you have to go the other way first.
@lcstark has already mentioned the only bug I encountered (only once I think), so I'll leave it be - who would expect a game without bugs, made in two days, right?
