Good job, seemed very simple at first but as the speed picks up and especially once the second bar appears gets quite tricky. When one of them starts to fall outside the range recovering it without losing the other one is surprisngly hard. Like the addition of the stories too, and the music suits nicely. Great work! 😄
Great job, I had fun with this one!
Good job! I liked the use of years as the currency. As you say, it is a little confusing until you understand the rules, but that's true of all card games. If you carry it on some on screen prompts would be helpful for getting started. Certainly unique though and I enjoyed my time playing it! 😄
Nice work! Some interesting ideas in here, I liked the use of the alley for stealth mechanics. I did find it tricky once I got to the daytime section, there were so many villagers about and it was difficult to consume one without alerting all the others. I enjoyed my time with this one, great job! 😁
This is great! Intersting twist, love the overall ambience, chesty is cute and the music fits pefectly.
I'm not sure the turn based nature of it fits that well, especially with having to re-press the key each time and the time limit, and there seemed to be a few bugs with the knights, but overall I really enjoyed this one!
This is fantastic. It really is crushingly difficult, but I love the art style. It was brilliant fun just exploring and knocking over the cash machines, and the seamless building entering was really slick and satisfying. One of my absolute favourites so far! 😄
This really does get challenging! Fun to play, and the visuals, while basic, are effective for gameplay. Great job!
As @sunnray says, you should zip up all the files from the build and upload that. Currently this can't be played.
Fun and interesting, great job! I'd love to see an expanded version of this with a few more job types and stats to balance.
Great job, funny and premise, and love that you found time to add secrets! 😁
Nice game! In my opinion the sword swing could do with being a little quicker and the reach a little longer, and the movement controls a little less immediate - trying to get into the right spot to hit the enemies is a little fiddly right now.
Just FYI, the web version has a couple of minor issues - Left Alt doesn't work (in Firefox at least), as it focuses on the menu bar.
Good job overall though! 😁

Tic-Tac-Run! by mvasko2 2021-05-09T14:36:39Z ♥ 1
This is really good fun! Easy to get into, controls are responsive, and the music is great, I replayed it a ton of times without even thinking about it, just because it felt right and sounded good.
If I had to criticise anything, I'd just say the random generation could perhaps do with slightly more consistency, as odd as that sounds - truth be told my best time was very much made possible by the benevolence of the gods of RNG! The graphics are fairly basic but actually really clear - both the tic tac and the obstancles stand out really clearly from the level, and each other - I'd much rather this than really fancy materials that blend together.
The leaderboard for a game like this was a really great addition as well, as I could immediately see just how awful I was at it 😂 jokes aside, I played on for a bit to try and get into the top half at least, which I think without it, I wouldn't have.
Overall though, this a really great compo entry, I had a lot of fun! 😄

Web version wasn't working for me on FF - the dev console contains this:

(Full list with warnings and so on)

I had a bug I couldn't reproduce locally on mine, so I know how frustrating it is - hopefully that helps track it down!
Played the download version instead - wasn't what I was expecting! Very unique, I found it quite hard to get the hang of, but it felt really satisfying once I did. The lighting looks really good as well, and the music fits really well - great entry, really enjoyed this 😄
The plot chickens by JPiolho 2021-04-30T20:54:44Z ♥ 3
Really enjoyed this, love the cute voxel style, it was nice and refreshing to play something like this. Great job with all the branching dialogue and events as well!
Last penny by Advarsky 2021-04-30T20:42:50Z ♥ 1
Love the art style on this, especially the little intro scene, got a really unique look to it. Music is really nice as well, fits perfectly. Controls could use tightening up, but honestly the 'chill arcade' style was a refreshing change of pace after playing so many Ludum games recently. Good job! 😄
Loach Dive by Manan 2021-04-29T23:10:22Z ♥ 1
Ahh, weather loaches are awesome! This was really fun, I didn't figure out the controls immediately, I was trying to flop around using nothing but the boost at first, which wasn't really working as the AI tadpoles do such a good job of scurrying away. Once I got it was great fun zipping about though - nice graphics and sound, great job! 😄

Wow, didn't expect to see a proper graphic adventure on here! The twist was really good, I thought it was the ending! Fantastic graphics and sound, and a really decent length as well. I'd give you some constructive criticism, but I honestly can't think of anything!
Dome Romantik by Rongo Matane 2021-04-28T21:40:54Z ♥ 1
Played this through until there was nothing more to buy then played it for another 20 minutes after that, really satisfying and fun. Definitely my favourite arcade style game by far - fantastic job! 😄
DEEper by Devastus 2021-04-28T21:16:11Z ♥ 2
This is great, one of the only ones I played through a load of times! Really smooth controls and nice vector graphics, and the audio fits perfectly - good job! 😄
Lemon Biscuits for Tulip by miwikiwi 2021-04-28T21:09:49Z ♥ 3
I wasn't sure what to expect, and it still wasn't this! Really nice little game, lovely style, good job! 😄

I tried to play both sides at the same time and it felt like I was about to have a stroke 7/5
Sonder (a story) by Noble Robot 2021-04-28T20:45:55Z ♥ 2
This is excellent, really fantastic atmosphere to it. Just to make you aware, super minor but the cursor is unlocked rather than constrained, which makes it a bit awkward getting at stuff at the edge of the screen on multi monitor setups. But loved this entry, great job! 😄
Dive & Dig by andrewkennedy 2021-04-28T19:43:25Z ♥ 2
Great twist on the take, and really fun to play, controls very smooth and surprisingly challenging to keep going for a long time. The humour in the writing is nice as well, and the graphics and music suit really well - really solid entry, well done!
The Tourist by Frostfall 2021-04-28T18:59:03Z ♥ 4
The ending was great, was just settling in to bamboo facts, really caught me unaware. Performance did cause a few problems for me as well, I would assume static batching or gpu instancing might do a good quick job of improving that. Loved the atmosphere though, great job!
Submerged by vanLeiden 2021-04-28T16:17:32Z ♥ 1
This is really fun! Atmosphere is great, love the use of the lighting - great job!
Morning Shift by Iluvatar 2021-04-28T11:36:57Z ♥ 1
This is fantastic, love the classic adventure game feel - great job!
