Really funny, the voice "acting" and forced rating/video etc made me laugh. Nice work!

Really funny, the voice "acting" and forced rating/video etc made me laugh. Nice work!
Loved it! I would love to see a full game with these characters and artstyle! Great artstyle, sound and story! Loved that it had different endings, and that you could skip through the dialogue, great on subsequent playthroughs.
I also go that graphical glitch as neighbro while on Chrome, but it worked fine on firefox.
Great work!
Great variety of enemies with superb design, animation and style. Audio is cute and effective. Gameplay is nice, although perhaps gets hard a bit fast.
Overall a great little game, great work!
The graphics and music is absolutely amazing. All the things in the game are at the level of a polished published game and I would love to se the game even more fleshed out, or other games with this artstyle.
Great work!
Neat little puzzle game, could be made into a very interesting game if you continue working on it!
Nice graphics, could evolve into a really nice little game! Good work!
Really liked it! Fun twist on the theme. Well done!
So silly haha, I can't say I didn't laugh.
Really liked this, great storytelling and I loved the twist! Music is really good and suits the mood very well. I like the artstyle and that you made a hand-drawn look for the game. The zooming with the perspective of the trees in the intro is stunning, very well done!
Overall really good work!
Graphics and audio are great! Although it felt rather relaxing rather than like a trip through a nightmare. If you continue developing it might be nice to add different kinds of patterns or something to make it feel like you are not playing the same stage over and over. However for a short gamejam this is great!
Good work!
Really interesting gameplay, although very hard as you said! Didn't manage to beat it on hard haha, but maybe I'll try again later. The main issue is that you die very quickly and it takes a while to learn the pattern and get the rythm right and it's easy to loose the right rythm if you get even one beat off and then you have to start over to get back there to try again. Although, the game is quite short so it's not that big of a deal. But it might be a bigger issue if you make the game longer.
The graphics are really nice, very stylish.
Great work!!

@tyrannas That sounds like a good idea! I hope I get to play it again in the future with new updates implemented!
Yes in a way, Okami is one of my favourite games and my name is Ulf, which is derived from the old norse word for "wolf", and okami is wolf in japanese!
@tyrannas Ooh nice! It's a great game to have as favourite game! So incredibly beautiful and stylish! I need to replay it again soon <3
Cheers!
Really amazing, graphics are superb and look like a finished commercial game. Really impressed that you managed to make this in such short time!
Very interesting and stylish puzzle game, great effective graphics and animation! I will definitely get back to playing it more when I have more time!
I subscribed to mobile version update as well!
Great work!
Cute little game, solid controls and nice graphics. Well done!
Great aesthetics! Are the sprites actually 3D models? Either way, it looks great and is very fluid! I agree that enemies spawn a bit fast a bot early, would be nice to have time to experiment and learn the mechanics before ramping it up! Also it feels a bit weird to me that you run much faster horizontal than vertical, makes it look like the character is runing up a slope both up and down.
Otherwise an interesting game, great work!
Very interesting game, will get back to this more later. I really love the art style and use of colours, and the animations for the monsters are superb!
Great work!
Very unique! Really like the twist on the bullethell genre. If you continue working on it after the jam, adding more enemy types and obstacles this could be turned into a fun little commercial game.
Graphics look great with nice colours and animation, and the music fits the gameplay well.
Great work, especially for one person!
Smooth movement for the players and the bouncing balls, your TODO sounds like improvements that would make the game more interesting to replay, so good luck with that! Good job!
Very nice game, really like the different take on this type of games, with "enemies" being beings you need to scan rather than shoot, while still having similar mechanics. Great innovation! Music is very cozy as well.
Good job!
Cute graphics and music, and the menu and character portraits are adorable! it would be nice if the trigger for talking to someone was a bit wider so you don't have to precisely face an NPC to talk. Other than that, playing through the game was smooth and fun.
Great job!
Really great graphics and style, nice soundscape, good idea. Overall great game!
Great work!
Simple and fun little game! A bit slow at first but it gets better once you can afford to unlock upgrades, then it gets really fun to lean into the chaos.
Good job!
Very creepy atmosphere and sound design, makes for a very engaging game. Only thing I miss is maybe some kind of minimap for areas explored, easy to get lost due to similar corridors and rooms.
All in all, an amazing experience, great work!
Controlls are a bit hard to get, but kudos for implementing controller support! Visuals are beautiful, well lit, animated and look really polished. This feels like a game that could easily be turned into a full game, hope you keep it up!
Good work!
Graphics are great and the audio as well, really relaxing. However I'm not sure if I've misunderstood how you should think when you decide which nutrient to go for next, but I'm just not able to get that far because either the nutrients are too far away or I run out of sun because it starts to rain. Maybe the rain could be more interesting if it also provided new shallow water sources?
Otherwise really neat, good work!
@groggi Haha no worries at all! No suffering here! Just thougth it was worth pointing out!
I agree with chriiis88 on the difficulty, but apart from that I really like it! Feels great, animations look really good and the aesthetics are beautiful! I really love the floor and roof breaking effects as well, they look amazing as transitions. Really nice to make a game about the fall dreams I guess most people have at least once!
Great work!
I agree with the others, the enemies come at you too fast, and sometimes from below, obscured by the graphics.
Otherwise it looks really nice, love the parallax scroll, it gives an amazing sense of depths and the colours are well choosen. Just adjust the enemies a bit and it can become a great autoscroller!
Beautiful game, would love to play a full version with even more uses of the mechanics! Very fluid gameplay with great polish, nothing to really critique!
Amazing work!
@ismael-rodriguez Haha well yes since it's so fluid! It's not slow and imprecise as all the water levels that have turned imfamous over the years! As long as the gameplay continues to surprise and innovate during the course of the game I think it could definitely work as a longer game!
Great music and soundscape, grapics are beautiful and the shadow effect is really well down and effective.
Good work!
Looking really good, and scary! The atmosphere and animation is spot on and the enviroments look very polished
Well done!
Amazing game! Fluid and fun gameplay with great graphics and style!
For future changes I would suggest having popups telling the player that they can move up and down as well (in-game that is). I know the info is on the game page, but it's nice to have in-game as well to make it less easy to miss!
Apart from that, perhaps that the rope would look better if it follows the pixel-grid, to make the art more consistent.
Great work! I hope I will see this game again further on with even more polish!
Unique idea, over all cute and interesting tech demo! Good work!
Supercute, graphics are very neat and fluid, love this kind of style! Great gameplay as well.
Really well don!
Really liked it! Great pixelart, just some flickering that makes it a bit hard to read the graphics. Would like it if the held building dissappeared when hovering the building selection row as well.
Really love how the earth gets visibly closer and closer and it's just not a timer, great way to add pressure and visual feedback! Really like the twist on a factory builder as well.
Great work!
Amazing concept and style, very unique, fantastic work!
Keep ut the great work, following hoping for more interesting games in the future!
While the graphics are simple, they work, and it's very cozy to sit back, relax and click through the game to the calm music. It's just a shame the start of the game lacks graphics (if it's not a glitch), just having a grey empty area apart from the dialogue box. This might put people off the game. Which is a shame, because the gameplay is quite good and the dialogue is interesting. Just a simple picture or two during the opening part would help a lot!
I really like that you have a full menu and save system.
Good job, I hope you continue working on it after the jam, fully realizing the graphics!!
I hope the post-jam goes smoothly!
Cute little game, would love to see it fleshed out even more! Keep it up!
A cute experience, the digging mechanic and dirt physics felt really good.
Good work!
A bit difficult early on, but very neat. Loved the how it kind of was a crazy take on golf. Great atmosphere as well, and big bonus points for the tardis!
Great work!
Very cute little game, great idea and very innovative!
Great work!
I love that you made an actual gameboy game! It was a sweet experience, would be cool with a full game. It was nice with the diferent views. My only complaint is that the music is only three notes, it gets quite hard on the ears after a while. Otherwise the gameplay works well in it's simplicity and could be expanded upon nicely.
Good luck on continuing with the game if you do that!
Good work!
Nice little game, the cliffs are beautiful and the mood is just great! good job!
Ooh I really like this, I love sokoban and this has a few nice twists on that type of game! Very creative with the level in level-aspect. As others said, it would be nice with a few introductory levels so you can ease in on the mechanics and get in the right mindset for these types of puzzles, but other than that they are nice. Will get back to this later!
Love the dynamic parts of the music as well.
Great work!
A fun game, nice take on the make-things visible type of gameplay.
Great work!
Neat game, took a bit to get the hang of but it's a great concept, good work!
A bit confusing at first to grasp the controls, but when I got the hang of it it worked very well.
The artstyle and music just overflows with style and is really cool, kind of reminds me of persona 5 in a way.
Great work!
I really like this! Great graphics with music and sound that together fits the gameplay perfectly. Gameplay is fun, fluid and overall feels very polished. The only "complaint" I have is that the contrast between being in the same place as a rabbit and the rabbit being on another depth could be a bit better, perhaps by having the rabbits that are not on the same layer as you being flat in just one color or something like that? It's not gamebreaking, I just think that it would make it easier to read the scene to make quick descisions without having to remember which layer the rabbit was on etc.
I made a quick mockup: Skärmbild 2021-05-02 015549.png
Otherwise, a great entry, I will come back to it to play more!
Great job!
Interesting experience with a cute little tune! A bit harsh that you have to redo everything if you fail due to not grasping what to do in time, but otherwise interesting gameplay!
Good job!
Cool and creative game, good job!
Visuals are great, especially the outdoors backround and the cabin and the portraits, and the explosion is really well animated! Only complaint here is that the character has different pixel dimensions, personally I think it looks a lot better when all the pixels are of the same size.
One bug I found is that one playtrough I was stuck on the moving elevator after going down into the bunker from outside.
Good work, I hope you keep working on it post-jam!
I really like how you move on to the next level by choosing which powerup you want, really neat! Gameplay is fluid and well animated. A bit text heavy in the beginning, that's just a little bit much to read in one chunk, would be nice if it was more spread out!
Good job!
I'm blown away by this! Amazing art, level design, gameplay, balance, music and so on. Only bad thing is that it would play much better with a gamepad/controller.
I hope you make this into a full game, would love to buy it!
Amazing work!
On one level I was suddenly very fast, while having regular tempo before and after that, a bug I guess? Sometimes the blue npcs dissapeared for a few seconds as well.
APART FROM THAT I really loved the game, I have a soft spot for these kind of weird 3D games, and the graphics and music complemented the gameplay really nicely. Would love if you fleshed out the gameplay even more in the post-jam, because it's a really great concept.
Well done!
Very cool game, love the graphics! A bit hard to write the symbols at times but really fun concept and well executed!
Great work!
@natalia-dushkina No you get patched up before regaining control! Yeah we have quite a few things to implement for the post-jam version thanks to all the great feedback we've gotten! It's very rewarding even if we wish we could implement them now for everyone to play!
Also a big thanks to all the people who have given feedback so far! It's quite overwhelming!
A lot to take in at first, but it's a charming and interesting game to take your time with. A little polish to make things more clear and less overwhelming at first (a lot of information is given to you at once), and it can become an amazing and charming potion making game with a very unique twist!
Graphics are really great, love the pixelart and the character design! Also sweet to see another dev making a game with a witch as main character!
Great work!
Nice little game, nice simplistic graphics with great animations, especially for the bombs. I like the feeling when you jump on the enemies, but the falling speed feels a bit floaty and slow.
Overall, good job!
Since bugs are already mentioned, I will just say that apart from those it's a beautiful game, and I hope you continue working on it post-jam.
Good work!
It was really nice when I finally managed to do a downwards boost! Good job, really funny to see all the planks fall down after beating the game.
Very beautiful game, full of emotion! Would make for a lovely full game. I really like the concept of the mix between the visual novel style sidescroller gameplay and the cooking.
Great work!
Would love it if the elevator could go down a bit quicker, would give the game a better flow (if I'm not missing something)! As previously said by others, more types of levels/monsters/attack patterns would be definitely interesting for a post-jam version. Graphics are really good with fluid and great looking animations, and gameplay is smooth.
Good work!
As other said, a bit hard to navigate when the isomeric view doesn't really match wasd, but apart from that this is a really great puzzle game, i love the mechanic of dropping down after a set number of steps, and the graphics is very clean, well done and effective in a superb simplistic way.
Great work!
Amazing game! I really love the artstyle and the creative take on the theme. It's really fluid and the upgrades make's it fun to keep playing for a while!
I would love seeing it fleshed out even more, with more hazards and gameplay elements.
Great work!
Funny game, haha, well done!
Beautiful graphics with a really well balanced colour palette. The game mechanics are interesting and work well, would love a full game with even more polish, especially on the momentum of the grapple.
Great work!
Really funny concept! The controls are a bit awkward with so many buttons to use spread out, would probably be great with a controller!
Otherwise great game, good work!
I really like it! Graphics look great and the puzzles feel well balanced and are fun to solve.
Great work!
Since you already aknowledged that highlighting of moves would be nice, I just want to say keep up the good work! Very neat game!
Funny dialogue and great rope physics and smooth chopper movement, makes for a funny experience. Good job!
I really love the graphics and voice acting! Great work! I hope you keep polishing it up after the game jam!
The player is really well drawn with great animation! I just wish the background was sharp because the blur is a bit distracting! Other than that the soundscape makes for a relaxing exploration.
Good job!
Graphics look good, I like the colors, very easy on the eyes. Gameplay is smooth as well. Others have aldready talked about audio so I will add no further to that!
Good job!
Really liked it. Overall very polished, only thing I wish were different is that the music didn't restart on death, as I really like the second part of the song and wish I could hear it in full even if I screw up.
Great work!
@villanelle I will do that!
A bit hard for me to controll the submarine, maybe easier to have it go where you point instead of reversed? Hard to say without trying, but it was a bit hard to move around sometimes with junk flying away. Maybe you get used to it!
Otherwise the graphics are really nice and the gameplay was really neat. Maybe if you want to continue working on it after the jam, puzzle solving and playing around more with the level design could be an interesting feature to expand on.
Great work!
I wrote parts of this in a stream as well but it is probably nice to have the feedback here as well. This is actually quite amazing! it is a bit too hard at first and the hitboxes on the spikes are a bit to harsh, making navigation sometimes feel a bit too pixel perfect (especially when you continue swinging after latching to a hook and have to go down, hitting spikes. It would be nice with an easy introduction part to get a hang of the mechanics and play around with them a bit, but it's very, very satisfying once you get the hang of it! I hope you continue working on it and I would love to play a full version of the game!
The music and soundscape and graphics are really beautiful as well with great spritework and lighting, and it's great that it's pixel-perfect rotation rather than just rotating the gun.
Keep up the great work!
Simple but great graphics, really love the style and the gameplay is nice, music adds to the mood very well. I hope I get to play an enhanced version after the jam as well!
Great work!
@pijamar Looking forward to it! And thank you so much! <3
Clean and effective graphics, the mining feels very smooth and good, great animation there!
Good work!
Nice game, the sound effects were fun! Simple, hard to master, but effective.
Very hard! But fun, interesting game mechanics that could make for some interesting puzzle designs should you continue working on the game/concept! The run cycle for the player is really good!
Maybe have spacebar as a jump button as well as Z, since that's pretty standardized! (Helps with muscle memory for me haha).
Also, you should make cover art for your game so it stands out more on LD!
Great work!
amazing work for one person in 2 days, great aesthetics and cool mechanics! Would love to see this expanded upon in postjam.
Great work!
Interesting game! A bit buggy a you say and could need more polish, and more clear controls. But i like the mood and graphics, the hand-drawn aesthetics are really nice, and would look very good with a bit more polish (especially the ground which has aliasing). I liked the feeling of the camera zoom-out at the big escavator.
Good job!
Hahaha love the idea, the emu war is one of my favourite historical events. I think since you have a fixed spawn point, you should probably make it so you can't move past a certain point, as that breaks the game, I could just run through the emus and essentially stay safe forever.
Good job!
This is fun haha, took a few moments to understand the idea but then it was great. The screams remind me of RCT as well. Love the logo animation, amazing. And the soundtrack is really great!
Well don!
This is incredible! Amazing, well polished gameplay with really fun and interesting mechanics, and the sound is spot on.
And the graphics, 10/10, release game worthy with really polished art and effects. Looks like a commercial game, I will definitely come back to this when you release the post-jam-version!
Amazing work, thank you for sharing! :heart:
Great game, love the presentation, music, artstyle and the carefully selected colours, and the gameplay is fun and fits the theme really well.
Great work!
I love this! Fun, well balanced gameplay, and the different obstacles makes it more interesting. The art is gorgeous, with great light, colours and animations, and the controls work really well. Would be interesting to see this expanded upon, maybe having different types of levels and even more obstacles that work in different ways!
I will get back to this again after the jam/my rating period.
Great work, thank you for sharing!
Fun concept! Really great for one person in 48 hours! I know you probably already have quite a few things you know you'd like to fix, but I would suggest having the spacebar as a jump button since that's more standardized. Also the jumping is a bit hard to maneuver since it is quite vertical and fast, making platformign a bit hard.
Graphis are great and the palette is really good.
Nice work!
Really cool game, didn't expect to se an AR game here let alone a snapchat game! Fun game and a really creative way to make a game for this theme.
Great work!
Interesting concept! I like using the classic idea of playing chess with death in a different way, using familliar strategies but in a new way, fun!
Good work!
I was not prepared for these emotions, this was a wonderful experience with amazing music & sound design and beautiful artstyle. Loved it. Managed to slow the Kiwi with each obstacle, and I really enjoyed the different musical cues for each of the different obstacles.
I also thought of Orisinal, and I really loved that, very nostalgic.
Thank you, great work! :heart:
Skärmbild 2022-04-08 000601.png
Got the good ending and 3 bad! Laughed out loud at the speedy credits ending, great touch.
As others have said, the black hole effect is gorgeous! And I would also like this expanded, could make for some really creative and fun puzzles.
I really like this kind of sterile aestehtics and feelings in a 3D game, reminds me of portal and the stanley parable and such.
But i got to prevent the inevitable so 0/10 (jk)
Great graphics and good concept! One thing I would like is if it could be a bit faster, as gameplay is mainly about finding your way and finding interactables, and the slow pace makes this a bit too slow. But otherwise, a solid entry and great work for such a short time!
Good job!
Hahah fun game, interesting concept and fun humor.
Good work!
Really cool, I'm impressed of your fluid simulation and the gameplay is solid.
Great work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-13 031218.png
A LOT of content, a bit hard to get the hang of at first, but it is that type of game as well!
I need to get back to it later and play it more, with more time to spare, but congrats to the team.
Great work!
Short but neat, I agree with oillen - it feels like an intro demo for a longer game and it would be interesting to see more! Your graphics are really good with great pixel art and colours, making for a great experience. And the voice acting and radio filter is really on point, further enhancing the mood and the experience.
I hope you continue working on it or make something similar, would make for a great point 'n click!
A fun little micro game, nice graphics!
Interesting concept, I think it would be more readable if the game used more color in the palette though. The core Idea of using different colors to represent different concepts/sections etc of the game is to make them easy to distinguish, so you almost don't need to read the text to separate. As it is now, this is not the case and while it looks nice and stylish, I think it's hard to tell what is what.
If you make it easier to read what is going on I think this could become a really nice little game.
Nice work!
Very hectic gameplay haha, but fun! Love the aesthetics, sound design and music, as well as the voice acting. Really sets the mood. I agree that better feedback when picking up a cure would be nice, perhaps with a visible slot for the equiped item rather than a text label as well.
Great work!
Cute little game! Quite funny dialogue. I remember your last entry, love your sense of humour! It's always nice to see some different experience at LD.
Also, did you make the cover art? Would love to see a game in that style if so, it's lovely.
Nice work!
Graphics are nice and the core gameplay is good, however some of the platforming sections could go with a bit more balancing. Having more space above you so the jump feels like it's even possible is quite important during platforming sections, so it doesn't just feel like you have no other options and try your luck, but rather feel like the jump you are about to make is a jump that's possible to make, and a jump that feels mechanically good to do as well.
But I like the core idea, core mechanics and the graphics. Well done!
Fun game, I liked that you can do stuff like getting upgrades, nudge cars, ram them etc. I think this could make the game even more interesting if expanded upon.
Made it to second place!
Good work!
Love the artstyle and the punny title made me chuckle.
Fun little game, I agree with baconinvader, would be fun to play a post-jam versionm with more content!
Nice work.
Absolutely brilliant and hillarious plot and concept hahah, love it! I was not prepared for the absurdity of this (started playing without paying enough attention to the screenshots), and while I get that it grabs peoples attention more to show the two different parts of the game, I'm glad I missed it because it was a really fun twist. LD for me is one part finding great gems of "regular" gameplay, and one part finding great gems like this with hillarious and strange plot and art. Thank you for sharing!
Great work, and good luck!
I agree with the others, interesting twist with having to heal instead of killing! It actually took me a few seconds to realize this, going around wondering what I sould do.
As others have said, it would be interesting to expand on the core gameplay concept with npcs acting in different ways and the ability to build stuff etc.
But overall, good work and thanks for sharing!
Cute game, the art is really cute! The game has a nice harvest moon-y feeling Well done!
Interesting game! I really liked the cube menu system with the tutorial, great way to introduce the main mechanic! A bit hard to controll the camera sometimes, but otherwise nice. Good job!
This is a really fun twist on breakout! Really fun and hectic and a very solid entry. I agree with above posts that it could be improved by having some build-up and more strategy to it, and I also think the "how to play"-text is a bit hard on the eyes.
But other than that, really solid entry! Great work!
Great game, with a great concept, grapical style and mood! Visually it's very nice, i love the colour palette and the only thing I can critizise is the run animation, but that takes time to perfect for this style in such short time, so that's understandable.
Gameplay is great, i like the different mechanics, but I agree with others that the UI could be clearer to make you understand how long you have so you can plan your time better. And also, perhaps the first day could be a bit longer so you have time to familliarize yourself with the mechanics and controls, or perhaps have a optional tutorial day (so it's faster to replay when you know what to do).
Great work overall!
Nice idea, nice looking graphics and cool song you made! However, the combination functionality was very unclear, and it was hard to tell when I succeeded or not, i think this really need some kind of feedback. I hope you add that for a post jam, then it could be a neat little mini game worth coming back to!
Nice work!
Really well done game, as always! Art is amazing as well, as always! The only complaint I have is that it's a bit overwhelming at first, which is hard to balance while trying to give feedback to a lot of people. But, because of that I will return to it again later, and definitely after the jam is over.
Great job and thank you for sharing!
Interesting concept and mood! I agree on things others said, like skipping to the zombie wave etc, but great basic concept!
Well done!
Nothing here to play!
Fun game with a neat idéa and simple but beautiful graphics. I agree with the other comments, really sweet intro, well done! Music well chosen as well and drive the emotions home.
Great work!
Neat game! Nice to se a 3D platformer and a puzzle platformer at that! Simple but effective graphics and gameplay, and I like the bridge animation. Even though there are not that many levels, you introduce some different ideas and mechanics, making it a interesting experience.
Good work!
Fun game! I like the light system, looks good, and is well implemented as an interesting gameplay mechanic, both triggering enemies and revealing your goal.
Good work!
Fun game, and the gameplay was quite solid!
Well done!
Gets hard a bit too fast and the placement of defensive structures could be a bit better (perhaps a placement square that moves in a grid where you move the mouse would be nice!), as it's a bit hard to judge where you will place the structures.
The graphics are really cute, great artstyle, and the animations are well done. And audio is great as always as well!
Over all, fun game! Could be turned into something great with more polish, but fun nontheless.
Well done!
Very fun concept, a bit unclear as jeremy say about the clarity of the objective of the car at times, but I really like the idea overall.
Well done!
Neat game, perhaps it gets hard a bit to fast but otherwise nice!
Good work!
Very fun and well thought-out idea! I like how you build on the delay-concept in different ideas and combine it with different gameplay aspects. Hope you continue working on this!
Really well done!
This is really fun haha, I agree with others, definitely felt like twister for my fingers! Perhaps would make for some interesting online co-op gameplay as well?
Loved the artstyle and the voice acting, it really added to the experience, and the music is great.
I like that you have configiurations for different keyboard layouts, that's a nice touch.
Good job!
I really loved the mood in this. Great storytelling, fun gameplay that lets you plan ahead in a fun way without being too easy or too hard. Effective and beautiful simplistic artstyle that goes really well with the somber music makes this a great experience overall. A very solid title over all, with only minor flaws such as people giving you their items again and agin (very minor).
Great work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-05 233136.png
Great looking game with a really nice atmosphere, and lots of content! Love the main idea though I agree with cyzaine that the main gameplay could be a little more challenging as it's very easy to both find the items and to guess which ones are the ones to present to the suspect, and the objects are a bit on the nose sometimes as well, as they obviously aren't items that would be left at a crime scene so carelessly. Perhaps lean into that humor more if you think this kind of item placement is fun and an important element of your game, so it acts as an element of humour.
Perhaps having to select options to state as your reason to present a certain object could make it more interesting.
Great experience though, great work!
Cute little game! Got me in a great mood, could be expanded into a fun little commercial game after the jam I think.
Good job!
Good little game with neat mechanics making for a fun gameplay experience! I enjoy the balance and the simplistic graphics, with a great palette.
Would be fun to play with different stages that force you to strategise in different ways and maybe different types of enemies!
Good work, hope you continue making games!
@seppskit I understand! Would love to see you continue working on it after the jam!
Really nice graphics and art style!
Love the concept, agree with things other have said, and I would also like it if you couldn't placeobstacles behind the end goal. But I enjoyed it and I like that the placed obstacles remain on retry, so you can tweak your layout. This together with a faster way to execute the obstacle course, as others have sugested, would make trying to get the highest score smoother.
Great work!
Great atmosphere and mood with a beautiful artstyle. A bit too hard minigame some of the times due to the randomness but otherwize a great experience!
Great work!
Very cute little game! Would love seeing this expanded, perhaps with their story or with many different stories. The art is really spot on and cute, looks very professional.
Great work!.
Hahah weird game, but fun. The art is well made.
Good luck with your future game and learning to code! Well done.
I can really FEEL this! Great idea and concept, and it's very stylish, I spent a few minutes just staring at the guy and his dog due to the pure style of the animation. It inspired me, and made me feel some kind of nostalgia taking me back to a fictional 90's that probably only exists within my mind. Anyways, the feeling was really nice and I would love to se the aesthetics used again for new concepts, because they are great.
Good luck and well done!
Really charming idle game, beautiful graphics (really love the tree - from a fellow tree-lover!) and I really love that houses and all the things you buy appear in the background! The music is really atmospheric as well.
The only thing I miss is the possibility to buy things in bulk, like 10, 50 at a time and perhaps a fruit/water per second-label as well.
Overall, really great work! Thanks for sharing, will definitely remember "the tree game"!
I replayed the game a few times and got all the endings! (Or at least 3 different including the true ending and ending 2!)
Loved the endgame haha, great work!
This is hilarious, these are the kind of games I always look for during a game jam. So strange and quirky, like a surreal fever dream. 3D graphics and FMVs are amazing, and I laughed out loud when I started getting compliments during the repairs.
You deserve a steak dinner for this!
Yessssss rank A

Best typing practicing game ever!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 174710.png
Great looking game and concept! I like the idea of asyncronous gameplay with the attacks and the notes. It would be nice to have a less steep difficulty curve though, having to time 4 notes right away at the same time at that speed is a bit hard, and the timing window seem to be a bit narrow, as I missed a lot of notes even though I pressed the button at almost the correct time, making it feel like it didn't register my inputs. Visual feedback such as the notes getting highlighted or changing colour based on timing would make it more readable as well. Knowing when you hit the notes is crucial to learn how to time!
Would love it if you developed this further after the jam as the concept, style and mood is really great!
Cool game, reminded me of Total Annihilation in a simplistic way!
For next time, I would recommend uploading a WebGL build on a platform such as itch.io (which is easy using Unity), since that will make more people want to take the time to play your game.
Nice work!
Overall fun game, had fun playing it and I like that you shared your personal achievements coding this game, good work!
Really like this simplistic old-school 3D art style! Gameplay core is nice and I hope you do a post-jam where you expand it with your original ideas such as the puzzle mechanics and so on, would be nice to se what it could become!
Nice work!
Fantastic game and concept! This is a great multiplayer concept and the premise is really fun! I hope you continue working on this and release it as a commercial product, I would enjoy coming back to it!
The artstyle is really great and effective, and I love the effect of spawning rooms, and the interactions with the NPCs. It really adds to the feeling and I love touches like that, making it more than just the core.
This is one of my absolute facourites so far, really well made and polished. Awesome work!
I rate this game as FRESH!
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 183323.png
@haayaargh Nice :heart: Nice that you recognized it!
Cool idea! Aparently i'm not as good at using a keyboard as I thought haha, need more practice!
Nice aesthetics and mood, love the trick success messages! Good work!
Interesting experience, I agree with macabreartgames, since you just interact with things and listen to the reaction as part of the story, more things to do and interact with would be fun! The voice acting is well done, good job!
nice mood and good gameplay, overall I agree with previous comments about gameplay and feedback, and the background elements. But it was fun to play, I hope you continue working on it!
Good job and thanks for sharing!
I love the punny gameplay idea of fishing for ideas, this could be really fun to upon more so you have to be more tactical, maybe the story needs to be in a certain way and you need to plan ahead and strategize more.
Solid entry with cute and effective graphics, great work!
This was suprisingly fun and addictive! Quite hard, then I thought I could "cheat" the game by jumping back and forth between the sofa and table/fridge. And then the table broke, and then the sofa broke, hahah.
Nice work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 013016.png
really cool to make a FPS in 48 hours!
Design is very nice over all, and it's interesting to ind your way. I agree with others that it could be a bit more varied and a bit easier to know your way around, but for the short development time I'm impressed!
Good work!
Really fun idea, took a few tries to get the hang of the controls, but after that it was really fun to play.
Art looks great too, really like the style!
Great work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-11 232600.png
this is quite the twist take on overcooked haha, It works well.
Nice work!
Really like this, great graphics and mood, and it's fun to see what other people have written. Could be expanded upon, but really sweet as is as well.
Good job!
Great concept! Love the take on chess and the graphics and style is very well done, looks great and enhances the mood very well alongside the sound design.
Well done!
Cute little tower defence! As t-c said, a bit hard to get how to place towers, would be nice with some kind of higlighted square around the area you are hovering that tells you if you can place it or not. But it was nice to control the player having to build the tower, making for a bit different tower defence experience. Nice graphics as well and very nice looking itch page!
Nice work!
Fun game, reminded me of FTL! Maybe the gameplay could be expanded a bit in a similar way with hazards, attacks, etc. At first I thougth the 2 mouse button controlls were unnecessary, but when trying to switch between selecting and commanding different characters It made a lot of sense. Maybe make the characters gather around the stations or the one you select always be the one that got there first though, as I now moved away characters gathering resources, interrupting them, rather than the ones that were done.
All in all, great fun, good work! And I loved this little guy ;)
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 144659.png
Hahaha this is so silly! Fun to play and the scoreboard made me replay it a few times until i got my spot with 123 chasers.
Not as good as this Nice score I got the time before that though!
Skärmbild 2022-04-08 021940.png
Also, I love the music, very fun take on the wedding march.
Fun idea, always fun to se a new twist on wordle!
really emotional experience, gave me a lot of inspiration for my own work. Thank you for making some thing unique, it was a great experience.
Good work!
I really like the idea, it's fun! You move quite a bit too fast though, which feels weird, and it feels clunky harvesting resources, having to move the mouse to click a "harvest button", which is unnecessary since there is no other use of the resources anyway.
Otherwise, nice work!
Hahah the voice acting, love it.
Fun little game, good job!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 234744.png
I agree with the others, a better font would be nice and if you continue working on it, it would be nice to have a tutorial where you learn the different parts of the instructions by executing them, because as it is now it's a bit overwhelming!
I like the concept though and the gameplay idea, and the graphics look nice, expecially the reactor. I would come back to it if you polish it some more!
This is hilarious, really fun concept and gameplay, and the art and music is really good.
Great work!
Also, I'm glad your cat is fine!
@lucy-lu I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm sorry for your loss. Take care :heart:
Cute game with interesting mechanics! I really like the different concepts introduced, as well as the mechanics such as jumping by throwing yourself, wall jumping etc. I would move jump to another button though, such as spacebar, so you wall-jump back and forth between different walls easier.
Great work!
Fun little game, reminds me of GTA and similar games! The theme is very apparent and well implemented here. Good work.
Hard! But fun! Works very well as a mobile game. Nice graphics and animations and the music choosen fits well.
Great work!
Joined this game while a streamer was playing it, so there were quite a few people making it really fun! Love that you actually made an online competitive game, and in a custom engine at that! It was really fun.
Good work!
Neat game with some really solid gameplay. Just bit confusing with the positive/negative aspect for some of the buildings as it felt weird that those would be negative for those groups, but perhaps I just need to read some more roman history again! Are they based on historical facts? Apart from that, as others have pointed out, having the buildings more distinct or the icons showing how they look would help when deciding which building to build, or perhaps hovering the class icon highlighing all the buildings belonging to that class. This would make the process smoother.
Other than that, really solid for a game made in such a short time. The graphics are beautiful and apart from the aspects stated above, the gameplay is really polished.
Great work!
This is great! Gameplay is fun but could be expanded upon, but for a game jam taking everything else into account, it's incredible all in all!
The art is really good, your artist has real talent, and I love the style! Really stylish and fun.
Great work, thanks for sharing!
Cool concept and I really like the pixel art! Very effective artstyle! I could see this as an expanded game with even more features and interesting ways to use many beavers to protect your nest. Would make a very interesting little RTS!
Great work!
Interesting idea, and great music and graphics, would be interesting to expand upon with balancing and more mechanics allowing better control of many characters.
Good work!
Great concept and well executed, graphics are really nice. A bit hard to see at first which part goes where, due to the style, perhaps the slots could be made a bit clearer so it's easier to make fast decisions, but fun overall.
Good work!
Love the story, it's adorable. And challenging but nice gameplay! I think it would be better with just a plain colour for the background, as the one you have is a bit noisy and hard to read.
Good job!
Interesting game! I like the graphics and the music, sets the mood well! A bit hard to get in to at first, learning about all the buildings and so on, but fun when you get the hang of it!
Good job!
Amazing game! Great aesthetics, both the models and the animations when flipping the board and pieces spawning.
Gameplay is a really great take on chess, making for a really fun puzzle game that could easily be expanded to a full game! I think it would work really well as a mobile game as well.
Great work!
Cool game, great tutorial! It's hard but you are prepared.
Nice work!
Interesting with the unique mechanic! Hard to master but rewarding to learn a different way to play, and it works when you get the hang of it!
Also, the graphics, animations and colour palette are absolutely adorable!
Great work!
Great voice acting and an interesting experience!
Great work!
Really loved this, amazing graphics and well executed, polished gameplay. The intro message really pulled my heartstrings, poor rover!
Apart from being a great game by itself, I really like that you can see your prevous attempts on respawn. I will definitely get back to it later!
Great work!
Interesting concept, liked the mood and it was interesting to explore the world. Nice to se an unreal game! Hope you continue working on unreal games in the future!
Good work!
Interesting take on snake! As others have said, the background is a bit noisy, especially since your character is so small, and since the rest of the graphics are simple it would fit with simpler background graphics. Maybe a plain single colour wold be enough, and perhaps some simple grass strands for a bit of a visual flair. Player could be a bit bigger as well and I think the camera movement is mostly disctracting when you already can see the whole play area anyway.
Good work and interesting to read you thoughts on AI pathfinding!
Will you publish a game or didn't you make it in time?
Amazing art style and writing! Fun game, and I agree with others, mouse input would be great!
Great work!
Such a cute little game, and the volcano is adorable! A bit hard to push objects at first since you move so fast, perhaps a bigger radius for when objects "stick" to your push or something?
I loved the katamari feeling when I realised you can stack objects pushed together.
I really love the artstyle and the mood overall, would love to see this expanded upon and/or more games with this artstyle and feeling!
Great work!
Great game! I really liked the take on chess and the theme, the only complaint I have is that the foot soldiers are a bit hard to read, would be nice if they were larger and more readable. Otherwise great work! Screenshot 2022-04-05 at 22.02.43.png
Hard game! But fun. Only made it 29 days haha. Loved the sound effects and your minigames were creative.
Good work!
Cute game with fun humor and writing, perfect gamejam game with nicely balanced gameplay and length, and the art is really good! Love the twist-ending!
Great work, will save for later!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 145152.png
Great game, very challenging but in a good way! A bit hard to navigate when the camera spins around if you manage to bounce above the center of the "tube", but apart from that, really rewarding to push yourself further and furter. Great aesthetics as well.
Good work!
Great game! I love the intro cutscene artwork, looks amazing!
Creative interpretation of the theme and a fun and interesting take on time manipulation, feels like a 2D take on superhot!
Great work!
This game speaks to me on a personal level! ;) Really cute, the art is supercute and works very well! Fun gameplay, I think the procedural generation blocked my path with a unmovable cloud on first round though (if I'm not missing something)
All in all, nice work!
@eoshadows understandable, the short time you have during a jam leads to many shortcuts hahah. I hope you make a postjam version, would be fun to play!
Hard to understand parts of the gameplay, but the graphics look really nice and music fits the game really well.
Good job!
Neat core concept, great feel of urgency!
Great graphics and fun, but it was a bit confusing to only have coloured squares and no enemies at first, as your screenshots doesn't show this. I thought the game was broken for me at first.
Otherwise, great game, good job!
Interesting take on the card/board game genre! Worsk well and feels polished. The graphics work very well as well and makes it more engaging, and the combination of pixel art, 3D and moody light looks great, kind of similar to the HD2D-style square enix uses for some of its RPGs these days.
Good work!
Fun game! Especially the art is very well done and the CRT filter fits it really well. The choosen music complements the graphics really well.
Great work!
Really like this flipped take on Mario, making it into a kind of tower defence game. All of the change suggestions I have have already been said, so I hope you make a postjam version with balancing for a more challenging game and perhaps a few more towers, troops etc to make it more tactical and the different units feel like they are needed to succeed.
Love the aestetics and the clean artwork and the core gameplay. Great work!
Great work as always! I would love to see this expanded and polished after the jam, it's really interesting! Beautiful art, great atmosphere and very challenging! I like that you respawn at checkpoints so you can try again and again until you get the gameplay, and the tutorial integrated into the beginning of the game is great.
Great work! Thanks for sharing!
Simple but fun! The game gets quite interesting when the rocks start falling, making it harder to get the ice cube to the volcano, while the cube acts like a shield.
The knight is very well animated.
Nice work!
Very fun and addictive! Really love the upgrade system, a bit overwhelming at first but makes for great replayability as it's fun to explore how the different upgrades affect gameplay.
Great work!
Cute little game, agree with above comments! Start button should probably be disabled after clicking on it, for now it restarts the starting of the game if you click on it again and the slow fade made it hard to know if something happened at first since there is no button click feedback. Minor detail but makes it feel better!
Overall, nice work!
@edgeboyo Hahah yes, classic gamejam stuff!
This was really hard, but fun! Love that you made a game out of a nursery rhyme haha! It was hard to predict where drops would spawn since they didn't spawn from right under the cloud, making it a bit frustrating when a drop spawns right on top of you when you are almost at the top, but other than that, very solid little game.
Great work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 134702.png
The walk cycle is hillarious. Good work!
@meritcoding Yes it worked! You need to play in fullscreen though, as the UI is cut out otherwise
Amazing game, really nicely polished!
Fantastic graphics, gameplay and storytelling. And the sound and music! Amazing. I love everything about it and the elevator music style death march *chef's kiss*. Big congrats to the whole team!
This is a game I will come back to!
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 031435.png
@crychair Looking forward to your thoughts! :heart:
Thank you all for the great feedback! <3
@crychair Yeah, we have some tweaking to do when the jam is over, and perhaps a few minigames to add that didn't make it in time!
Thanks for the feedback! And thanks to all others as well!
@finn-pickart We will try to make that a reality!
@shawn-beck Thank you for the suggestion, we will polish the game a bit after the jam! And thank you, It was fun drawing high res art as a change from pixel art, a whole different workflow!
@andrground Comparing it with Broken Age is a great compliment, thank you! :heart:
Thank you all for the great feedback!
@kylazaur Thank you, that's a great compliment! :heart:
@voxar Keep it FRESH and remember to rehydrate!
@jamieok Thank you so much!
@ocwal The rover game was so cute, I'm glad you went with that! :heart:
@kaminos Yeah, making this type of game with only educational minigames would actually be a great idea as well!
@yogurtthehorse Well, if we need to challenge these particular aliens for real, we are probably doomed no matter who gets to defend the earth!
@sequoiadolce Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked it so much!
@pat-cleaver Thank you, that means a lot!
@mmisspelling Stay FRESH!
@gabriel-dias-oliveira-de-almeida @haayaargh Hopefully we can redeem the sushi minigame in the post-jam version!
@forgin-bits Yeah loved your game as well! Fun to see fellow "wario ware"-makers this jam!
Thank you all for the amazing feedback! Good luck during the ratings and have fun!
@sasquatchbstudios Thank you so much, glad to year you like the music so much! For the sushi game, you need to take it steady, going to fast makes the unsteady hand drop the sushi! And for the hydrate minigame, you lift the bottle to make it drip water, and the person is just a tiiiny bit thirsty and is satisfied by three drops!
@mateu Wow thanks for the amaizing feedback! So glad to hear it :heart: We were going to have an ending but didn't make it in time, so for now it's endless. Stay tuned for the post-jam version!
@alaah Might be in a future game, or maybe in an added postjam minigame! We also have the final-final version of Blackout realeasing soon-ish!
Really addictive! I had to stop playing as I got to a point when it got too easy, but it was great fun an I would love to see this expanded upon! It was fun to have to go backwards to attack properly, made it more challenging.
At first, I thought about suggesting having drops like magnets and life regen, and what do you know, they appeared just a few moments later! I encountered what I believe is a bug though, where I passed right under some of the hearts and magnets (spawned on plain grass), and in the southestern corner the border was treeless making it look like an invisible wall, but overall a really great experience and great fun!
Good work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 140309.png
I tried to grab it again and again so I think it's bugged.
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 143138.png
Really love the progression style tied in with the graphics, very artsy and fun. Gameplay is hard but rewarding once you get the hang of it, and I think it could be made even more interesting if expanded in different ways.
Great work!
Nice contrast between the cute penguines and the story. The island is perhaps a bit large considering the content, but I appreciate the nod to this because yes, I am one curious little dude!
Skärmbild 2022-04-06 021812.png
Good job!
Cool idea! I think the difficulty is a bit high in the beginning tough, during the time you learn how to play. Otherwise a cool idea!
Good work!
Really cool, gameplay is hard but very solid and the grapics are just amazing! Really love how well your 2D and 3D elements mix with the artstyle you are using and how seamless you've made the mix.
Great work, well done!
Really fun game! Amazing graphics and sound design, really set the mood! Amazing polish overall, feels like a minigame from a real released game but works as a standalone title as well!
Also, why practice my typing speed with online typing tools in the future when I can use this? Maybe that would be an interesting way to take this further, making it into a typing speed tool that makes it a lot more fun to practice!
Great work!
@kylazaur I think a scoreboard, practicing with real words as well as random words, maybe whole scentences (and perhaps support for loading your own list of words, thus supporting different languages in a way) would be nice!
Different graphics would make it fun as well, with different settings and characters. Perhaps different types of requests as well? Such as one character only asking for verbs or fruits or something else following a theme.
Yeah, the link doesn't work!
This is a very polished little game! Reminds me a bit of a phone game I used to play a lot that I can't rememeber the name of right now.
Very stylish in a simplistic way, fluid gameplay, great looking and fluid graphics, nice sound design and on point animations.
Great work, will get back to this!
Really good game, I loved the music, it was very on point and well done and the graphics were really good with a great palette as well, and the dialogue was fun! It's amazing how much you've managed to make, the game was quite a bit longer than I expected! And quite hard sometimes haha, I played on medium and still had a hard time with the music sections (which are really cool and well made though!) Perhaps they are a bit to hard though, it didn't feel like a "medium/standard" difficulty, but rather hard, especially when the game expect you to hit notes with many different buttons close in a row (2 at a fast pace is fine for medium, three or more very fast after each other can be a bit too much imo.)
I hope you continue working on it, and if you do I would recommend you to use the pixel perfect camera plugin as I think this was made in unity? It makes the pixel art look even better without seams (I notice some things jitter a bit in sub-pixels) and the giraffe floats a pixel or two above ground.
All in all, this is a great entry, really well done!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 184108.png
Cool wario ware-ish type of game! I think it would feel better to play if everything you do have noticeable feedback so you really feel you are doing something. For example for the boulder minigame it kind of doesn't feel like anything is happening sometimes. Good feedback is always the key to great feeling gameplay!
All in all though, nice little game. Nice work!
Fun little game! I like that you only have to watch the intro and the defeat message once, makes retrying more fluid. Only complaint I have here is that you should be able to navigate the menu with the keyboard, or restart the game with spacebar, as moving your hands to the mouse qhich is only used in the menu disrupts the gameplay.
Going backwards don't feel that good as well, and I think it would be better to either let you go in all directions at the same speed and design around that, or to make it so you can't go backwards at all and design around that.
All in all, nice work!
Skärmbild 2022-04-07 024900.png
Great take on russian roulette and I absolutely love the graphics, art style and presentation!
Would love a explorable game with this style for the world and inmates.
Great work!
A bit hard to precisely jump as you move quite fast, but other than that, a solid game with a great theme! I really love the concept of having time dilation in the game, would be interesting to expand upon even more!
Good job!
Nice little game, always interesting to play a text adventure these days!
Good work!
Very solid entry, especially since it was for the Compo! Great humor, very solid art and fun gameplay, really enjoyed it! Would be fun if you expanded upon it, but it's fun as is as well.
Nice to see that you also made a WarioWare inspired game! We are at least 3 now in this LD!
Great work!
Neat little game with good graphics! Hovever, the game is at a fixed resolution, which means the UI is outside the screen borders if you play in a window or on a laptop with smaller resolution scaling, at least on my laptop.
Good work!
Fun gameplay with some nice wall jumping that worked really well. GOood looking,effective and clean looking art. The visual effects looked really nice as well! Music was nice and fit the game well.
As others have said, a bit unsatisfying that some enemies just can't be reached without using special attacks, but other thant that, pretty solid gameplay and great for a game made in such a short time.
Well done!
Made me think of the mummy episode from Buffy the vampire slayer haha, nice work!
Fun game, reminds me of dome romantik a bit from ld48!
Nice grapchis and fun gameplay, could be fun if expanded upon as it seems the difficulty level stops after a while!
Good job!
Cool idea and nice concept, graphics and sound design! Made it to the end (credits), nice story! I liked the typing interactions, but I think you should remove/replace the typing to stay awake as that was only tedious and made my arm hurt, and made it hard to focus on the story. Maybe a timer and more time could work, and something else you need to do to stay awake.
Other than that, nice experience, good work!
Fun game! The suction effect is a bit too visible but otherwise fun!
Great game! Very polished mechanics, gameplay and graphics! Looks great with great spritework and graphics, and plays great.
A game I will come back to!
Great work!
Pretty game, very emotional for such a short experience.
Thank you for sharing!
Interesting take on the game, always fun to see what people have time to do in 3D in such a short time!
Good job!
Fin little game! Like the graphics, especially the nod to How's Moving Castle.
Could be improved with more modules to make it more replayable and fun for longer sessions.
Overall, a neat concept. Good work!
Cool game, the visuals are really good and it reminds me of games from the early 2000s
Nice work!
Nice core concept! Would like to see it expanded with more mechanics supporting the player in different ways to make it an interesting survival game. Nice work!
I like the core Idea, and I was prepared for emotions fueled by the story, the nice graphics and the audio.
However, it was hard to get through the game and took many tries due to bugs/issues during the game such as:
- Camera being to high up so you don't really know the layout of the stage ahead (this was the one that made it the hardest to progress) - Getting stuck on the flying fire extinguisher. - The fire extinguisher stopped moving - Getting stuck in other ways.
I like the core idea and I think it could be a really nice emotional journey if you fix these issues so one could concentrate on the main gameplay and the story.
Hope you do a post-jam so I can play it again!
Great graphics, really like the design of the captain! Nice work!
Interesting idea, kind of similar idea as "Click to continue"
My only real suggestion for next time as of now is to export a web build and upload it to a website such as itch.io, since that will make more people willing to take the time to play your game if they can play it directly in the browser!
Nice work!
Fun little game! I really liked the concept and gameplay idea! I think this would be a fun game to continue working on with even more ideas!
As others have said, camera is a bit wonky but 3D rotation with a 2D mouse is a bit hard.
Overall, great work!
Hard! Would love to see a postjam balance update or perhaps a tutorial or introduction level to ease in the strategy needed to play it well.
Fun and nice game though, good job!
I believe you made this alone? Great work! I hope you continue polishing it afterwards!
Good luck with ratings and your next project!
@pebkac Impressive!
Cute little game, a bit frustrating to reach the outer letters but that adds to the experience for a short one-shot experience. Fun and well done.
Great work!
Really enjoyed this! Made me nostalgic and hungry for more of these types of games.
Great work!
A bit unclear regarding what you can interact with at first, but otherwise fun puzzles and great pixel art! Very moody and stylish, especially for being done by one person in 48 hours!
Good job!
I do love a sokoban game, and this had a fun twist! Nice work!
I like the concept and interpretation of the idea a lot, and graphics are sweet! It starts off a bit hard though, perhaps the concepts could have been introduced "mario style" with a obstacle you need to use the umbrella to pass but you survive if you fail, then expand upon that etc etc. Otherwise nice and fun!
Good job!
Lovely art, and fun to play! Well done VA as well and the concept and execution of the gameplay was nice. Physics for the boxes was a bit weird though but I could see this become a banger with at bit of polish and more levels.
It got easy quite fast but that's just balancing, other than that this is a neat game, I like the strategy part and the tutorial is a bit text heavy but as other's said, the fail part is effective in assuring you do it correctly while playng.
Well done!
Really interesting game, I really like this take on the shadow-clone parts of mario and Celeste, very creative to be the one sumonning the clones yourself and stratergize around that. Would love to see this developed further to make it even more puzzel-y.
I see you have already fixed some parts I had thoughts on, but I also want to suggest more feedback during gameplay such as light/highlight and sound effects when you are in position on an altar where you can do the summon so you avoid awkward moments of misalignment and failed summons, and also some kind of sound feedback for when the doors open that stick out from the rest.
Great work!
I hope you finish this! I really like the aesthetics and vibe, you got that down really nice already, just gameplay that needs to be put in place. Nice work!
Control instructions here and bellow the game state you should press left mouse button to grab bullets, but it's the right button for me. Ingame state correct controls though, but you might want to change the instructions outside of the game. I would think about removing klick to pickup as well, or modify it in some way to make it a more interesting and unique concept, as it is more of a chore right now. As others stated, controls would feel much better if they were a bit more snappy.
Other than that, I like the concept, a neat tower control game you could build on in different ways, could become something really fun! Thanks for sharing and nice work!
This game has really nice level design and graphics, and I really like the way the game teach you all the mechanics and guide you through the game, as well as to your approach to backtracking that's fun! If you continue polishing it and adding more levels and gameplay mechanics or twists on what's already there, this could easily become a full release game!
Great work! I hope I will see this later on steam or other stores!
The UI could be a bit more clear as to which resources you have etc, but GREAT art, effects, cool idea and gameplay and in generall very polished.
Good job!
Hard but fun! I enjoyed the progression and mood, and the graphics are really nice.
Good work!
Interesting concept and quite chill. A lot of information to understand at once though, and as you mention, an interactive tutorial would be nice, introducing a few concepts at a time which is a lot more effective than an info screen. Understandable you didn't have time to make one though.
I hope you continue polishing this after the jam! Nice work! Also, try posting blog posts to get more ratings, rate more games (and comment) and submit your game to "I'll rate your game"-posts so you make it to 20 ratings!
As other's already said, there are some bugs but other than that I adore this, it's so stupid and fun <3 Fantastic graphics, concept, music and the sound effects hahaha, I can't stop laughing when the sound effects for drawing/summoning a chicken platform plays.
I hope you make a polished postjam version! Great work!
Chicken.
Fun little game, I like this combination of checkers and rock-paper-scissors and the graphics are beautiful.
Well done!
Hard game, but fun! I really enjoyed this take on tower defence and will come back to it later to try to push some scores! Graphics are really great as well, very polished!
Great work!
Really liked this, nice artstyle and some creative choices for the gameplay, I really enjoyed this!
Great work!
I always love to see point and click games during ludum! The graphics are really nice and I love the homage to Day of the Tentacle and retro-lucasarts games like that! A fun little game, Would be fun if you expanded on it later with the quest to finally get the cake recepie!
I refrained from rating audio, as all the songs are pre-existing songs.
Great work!
@gamebuilder hahah yes, the original pitch was just "a crowd chasing you" but then due to limited time and weird inspirations that design was what I ended up doing!
@kyoryucomic Thank you! I chuckled a bit while drawing that, so silly! Expecially proud of the detail of the dried out olive on the cheese crown haha
@thetatautau Thanks for trying it out! Yes the controls are a bit difficult, but I'm glad you still enjoyed the game!
@roroto-sic Hahaha that is my favourite ending though! It was fun drawing the dead version of the king based on the regular.
@valentina-shara Thank you for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
@brainbetter Thank you so much! <3 It was really fun watching your playthrough, it made us really happy to watch you have so much fun!
@zirzak That's a great compliment! Really love things like that, great vibes all around!
@ryusui Thank you! I'll admit I giggled a bit when I came op with the cloud design. And yeah, we thought about that too late unfortunately and didn't dare change it and risk making things even worse. Being reminded of LISA is a great compliment! Thank you! They are actually based on the first sketch made by our programmer hahah.
@nekuake Thank you so much! Honoured to be compared to pizza tower, I'm happy you enjoyed the art and the game! Thank you so much for playing!
@madelinef Yeah it's a bit hard, and it's always difficult to balance when you play your own game and get skilled and have too little time to balance haha. Thank you for playing it though and I'm glad you enjoyed it otherwise!
@ilbini Did you have trouble controlling the game or was the start button not working for you?
@nuanda79 Thank you so much! Well, I won't defend the way we chose to implement the theme, but it was fun trying to go beyond the first initial obvious choices that could fit the theme!
@ffenril Extra cheeeese!
@magnusfurcifer Thank you! I had lots of fun designing stuff once I got a feel for what things should look like!
@gonzo13 Thank you!!
@talif-moor Yeah... It's unfortunate we didn't have time to fix that (more complex than it seems due to the way obstacles and jam are placed). Thank you for playing!
@kamizenki Thank you so much for playing!
@edj99 Thank you so much, that makes me really happy to hear! Yeah, I agree the controls can be a bit difficult to handle! (and they were even harder at first lol)
@benjiehotwheels @jk5000 Thank you!
@sweetwizzle Thank you so much, that makes me so happy to hear <3 I had lots of fun drawing all the weird and colorful things!
@jerrre Thank you so much! Long live the king! :cheese:
@smidgens Indeed we have... It's a hard life! Thank you so much for the kind words, and thank your friend as well from us!
@thx Thank you!! It was really interesting designing a game with this perspective! Also, I am a huge fan of Katamari and the king was heavily inspired by the King of Cosmos!
The graphics look really stylish and clean, beautiful! it was fun, but I agree with others that more challenge, sound effects and feedback for impact and when you are in the state of defeating the boss car, as that's a bit unclear right now.
But I enjoyed the game and I feel the base game is so solid that it would just take a few QoL-adjustments, more design, and just more content to make it into a really nice racer game. It's cool to see another game using a slanted perspective as well, just as our game does, albeit a wholly different kind of game haha.
Great work!
It would be nice to have a less steep learning curve as many of the platforms are quite hard to reach quite early, but I managed to make it quite far and I can see the potential here, just have a bit of introductory section that's less difficult at first!
You might want to change the description to not state it's source code as well as it's an Unreal executable, might persuade more people to try it.
I really like the concept, mood, graphics and general vibe of this! Perhaps some kind of light tutorial giving you a few tasks before you start could enhance this further if you continue working on it, or tasks with increasing difficulty of some kind, or just some kind of general introduction.
Good job!
Fun concept and nice take on the theme, Graphics are really nice and the demon is -adorable-
Good job!
Really polished and fun game, with amazing aestetics! The dynamic javeline looks really good and rotates very cleanly.
I agree with others that the pushback can be a bit annoying and that could perhaps be solved with a tiny bit more polish or/and designing platforming moments early in the game that teach you to work with it and plan for it so you know exactly how to use it to your advantage as the game gets harder.
But all in all a very fluid and beautiful game, I love the color palette and the clean readable and beautiful backgrounds and sprites, and the fluid animation of the main character.
Great work! I hope you continue working on this game, it seems like a really fun game to design for as well.

Oh! It's you, the giraffe guy! I really enjoyed your last giraffe-entry, giraffe o'clock! This was really nice as well, a bit hard at times though due to not understanding the mechanics fully yet and a bit confusing level designs at times. I would recommend building up the mechanics and level ideas gradually in a full release if you intend to continue working on it (which I think you do, as per your blog post with a 2025 tba date?)
That would give the player a way to familiarise themselves with what they're given and can do, kind of like how mario games introduce concepts in a gradually harder way or how celeste teaches you in increments how to play in the level design itself.
I really enjoyed this game though apart from some frustrations, the mechanic is really nice and could feel really good with some tweaks, and the music is really nice and on point.
Great work!
A bit unbalanced but I do love me a janky weard ludum game, and it has quite a lot of content as well! We also had an idea to make a game based on a SUMOning pun haha.
Great work!
Very stylish and clean graphics, a bit hard to de-summon some of the harder ones due to not typing fast enough, but good clean fun!
Well done!
Really charming and beautiful, does what it does very effectively! A little balance with how you get better book and perhaps more summons are really the only things missing from making this a complete experience.
Lovely work!
Really love the graphics, and the music fits the game really well! A logical system for summon variations is really the only core feature missing before expanding this into a bigger game.
Great work!

Addictive game! Only suggestion I have to improve it other than balance etc is to have a cooldown time if you get hit, as it's a bit annoying to lose 5 lives instantly because you failed to avoid a clutter of yarnballs.
Lovely that you made this with your kids, I hope they had a great time!
Well done!
As you state, it was a bit hard to find the spot where to put the cards (you need to hover above the rectangles?) It needs more dev time as you're already aware of, but I see potential here, and the graphics are nice! I hope you finish it in a post jam!
Nice work!
Really nice little game, I really enjoy the concept of replaying to find the sollution. Only thing that I found a bit annoying was that the font was a bit hard to read for a game where reading is important. But other than that, great work!
Really addictive game, feels quite balanced as well for a game made in such short time, and the graphics, music and SFX are great!
Very well done, I will get back to this game!
Really great concept, If you want to expand on it further in a postjam update, I would love for it to lean into the music part even more, perhaps make it more of a rytm/music game or something so it's less random.
Great work and nice idea!
I always enjoy a good lorem ipsum joke! I liked the core of this, it got hard a bit too fast though as I was immediately overwhelmed with hordes of enemies upon entering the dungeon. As others said, it freezes after a short while as well so it's hard to judge the complete package fairly.
But it's a great core and I hope you do some post-jam to clear up the bugs and jankiness and make it into a stable and fun little game,
Nice work!
Looks really nice, I see no way to change language to english though? As such I will refrain from rating this other than graphics
Fun fastpaced game with nice graphics and snappy controls. Only thing I miss is a bit better feedback for when you hit an enemy, perhaps displaying score during gameplay and ensure enemies won't spawn on you or too close to make it unfair.
A fun little game, Sound effects and music would make it even better but understandable to not have the time for that. The graphics are quite effective, simple but nice!. Well done!
Art is a bit over the place and looks ai-y, but the game was fun to play
The atmosphere and graphics are great, very moody and nice contrasts and the gameplay is fun and an interesting take on tower defence. Apart from the game getting busy and hard a little to fast to adjust to the mechanics and pacing, other thoughts I had are mentioned in the first comment!
Nice work!
Absolutely beautiful artstyle! Shame the shader mess up things, but the shaderless version looks really nice as well
Well done!
got a chuckle out of me with the ending, well done!
Neat little game, I really enjoy the surreal style and liminal feel!
A fun little game! Only thing I miss (besides it's always great with more content, but it IS a gamejam so) is that interacting with the things calling for you always makes you do the task, such as clicking on the target crosshair to close the curtains and on the house master to open the curtains.
Otherwise, neat game! Good job!
Really fun concept and take on a bullet hell game! Graphics are gorgeous as well and the music makes you excited!
The only thing I really miss is better feedback when you are hurt and when you hurt the boss, since sometimes I just happened to notice I'd lost a couple of hearts but thought I had avoided all the attacks.
Otherwise, really fun an great game, with good balance to the mechanics. Great work!
Fun game, the music is really cozy and I really enjoy the concept of the game and the take on summoning. The feedback and effects/animations when rotating a wizard could be a bit more clear to make it easier to handle your wizards quickly when strategizing, but otherwise it's great.
Good work!
Fun little game, as others said making dragging less slow and floaty would make it so much better for me. Otherwise really neat twist on these kinds of games.
Well done!
Cute and fun little game, it was fun leveling up to beat the game! Two QoL-suggestions: Different colors or looks for the health bars for "enemies" and your own mushrooms, and a "buy max" for the menu to avoid having to hold the button for too long.
Good work!
Quite fun, a bit hard to play after a while though as it get's so easy you can just spam rats and the level up box appears 2 seconds later. With a bit more balancing and changes to the gameplay as you get through the game, it could become a quite fun game though!
I like the art and the base concept! Something more to do and a clearer goal, as well as visual and audio feedback when doing stuff like picking up things and selling would go a long way to make it feel nicer to play and making it clearer what is happening. But all in all, nice to see what you've made here!
Good job!
As others said, you move a bit too fast and finicky, and it's a bit hard to find use of the summons in a greater sense, and sometimes it looked like enemies just died by themselves. Graphics look good for a jam and first entry, but I would recommend having uniform pixel size when using pixel art, as it can be a bit confusing to look at when pixel sizes are all over the place.
But you have something nice here you can expand upon, with nice base graphcis, design, level layout etc. Solid start, good job!
Nice work for a first time participant! Nice using mana for health and resources to make you think about resource management.
Only thing missing is sound and an ending! Otherwise neat, effective style, especially with some additional polish.
Nicely done!
Neat idea, this could be built further to be made into quite an interesting game.
Nicely done!
Short but sweet, great concept! would really like to see this expanded upon, so much potential!
Good job!
I always look for these kinds of games during LD, I just love the creepy feel of a game with this kind of 3D look and mood, love it! Only thing I miss is perhaps more areas and variation to what you can do or something, and that the sound and feedback when switching items is a bit jarring.
I personally like the ultra-filtered look for this game, it makes it more creepy somehow, and while pixelated textures would make it look more modern/artsy/nice that would make the creepy atmosphere less prevalent in my eyes.
And EXTRA impressive that you made the engine yourself! It feels really polished as far as features goes that are in this game.
Great work!
