Really well polished! I considered adding a speedrunning timer to ours but was worried people would feel rushed - yours doesn't feel rushed at all and now I wish we had it in ours as well.
Your graphics are very cute, and you've got a really creative puzzle/platformer!
It looks great and has some great puzzles, although I got a bit confused on I think the start of level 3 :D
I'm starting to get the hang of it I think? It's strangely addicting. It feels super polished compared to most games too.
This is actual art.
It's a nice and simple game, thanks for having both a web version and audio options.
You should put a screenshot in your description, I saw a streamer play it and thought it was interesting, I'm worried people might miss it without an image.

The graphics are fun, I like the photography style aesthetic. I was unfortunately not very good at figuring out how each insect feels about the flowers, but it's certainly got a fun cute mood to it!
Great buckshot roulette type game - I was skeptical of it being a rock-paper-scissors based game but this is definitely a fun adaptation.
You really got the dark aesthetic down
The top-down vibes are fun, I get hotline miami vibes. I found it a bit too easy, but this looks like something you could build on for sure!
The signal towers for the theme works well
The art is incredible for being done in 3 days, the shader effects bring it together, it looks very polished!
I especially like the double jump animation!
The concept is pretty intuitive and strangely addictive. It feels like it needs a little tuning on the mouse controls perhaps? Otherwise this is a really unique concept for a game and has a ton of potential.
It seems to run fine for me in browser on chrome too
Any chance you can do a web build?
The concept looks fun and I’d love to try it
Oh I haven't seen this genre in a while, I think there was an old sims game on the ds that did something somewhat similar?
The audio is excellent and really sets the vibe, I'd love to see this polished/expanded on post jam too!
Is there any chance of a web export? This looks fun and I'd love to check it out
The aesthetic is super cool and really unique from the other entries! At first I was sad about the pigeon but I was glad to see who was in charge of the UFO :D
The puzzle elements weren't super clear to me, but I followed the walkthrough and enjoyed it quite a bit

@ottos Oh sweet!
The art is well done, I love that there doesn't appear to be a limit for the number of items you can place on your head - and that you can stack the "the end" characters on your head as pillows too.
The boss gave me fun "sorta binding of isaac" type of vibes.
I think you should make the itchio link super clear, a lot of people only play the browser games and I'd hate for them to skip this one

Any chance of a web build? I'd love to give it a try :D
This is a really fun and unique concept. I really enjoyed it
This was really fun! 305 flights in 13 days!
The music is really fun and sets a mood. I love the silly mini games. Reminds me of a mini duck-life type of game but with crabs
The aesthetic is great! It's super easy to understand what to do, it feels very polished.
Gotta add some screenshots to your page so more people check it out :D

It's pretty fun! A bit like hotline miami. I do agree with some of the other comments that the braziers could be a bit more clear, it took me a minute to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. The art is pretty thematic which is nice
I like the graphics and the simple concept! I appear to struggle to get over 70% :sweat_smile: Using shaders is fun, and I like that some of the screens like the ghost are designed to make it a little more difficult to tell if you have it perfect or not.

The idea to have the player be able to run around and do things to enhance your towers is a unique idea, I think this idea has some legs and could be expanded on for sure!
I might suggest if you do a tower defense game again for a game jam, you implement a way to move the towers, or add a better visual indicator of how they work - because the players aren't familiar with them.
Overall great submission :D
The UI is pretty clean and looks polished. I'm a bit confused as to how the combat works though, I'd suggest clarifying how it works perhaps?
You really nailed the aesthetic! Some sound effects would definitely go a long way but I totally understand what the time crunch is like
It's a fun deck building, rouge-like game. ~~Please add a description and image for this (at the time of this comment there isn't one)! I'm worried people will skip over this without them.This is pretty unique and it deserves more attention.~~
It's decently intuitive to play too!
Love the new description and images

The art is nice and thematic. I thought it was tricky without a hint. It definitely feels like it would be an interesting game with a little bit more polish
The graphics are super polished, you got a great aesthetic going!
I'm not sure if I got lucky, but my hands were so stacked I didn't have to read the signals much. Still a very well polished game for the jam, great work!
The way you move around mostly side-to-side is really fun!
This is so ridiculous it's amazing LMAO.
One of those things you didn't realize you needed in your life until you experience it
This is a really fun puzzle game! I would recommend removing that overlay though, its difficult to see whats going on.
Other than that this is pretty unique, and the style is great
The art is great, the gameplay is fun and the ending was a fun twist :D
I wasn't sure but there might be a bug with the audio syncing?
Either way, awesome entry!
And if you're confused on what to do on the first level you drag the antenna on the little bot that you buy.
If anyone has trouble loading on LD try Itch!
This is a cute game! I'd recommend either adding a tutorial or making it more clear what you're supposed to do with the things that you buy. I love the graphics.
The baby chick is very cute. I was a bit confused on the coordinates since it seemed to go green on the spot we launch from?
The art is nice and feels polished
The graphics are really cool, but I also couldn't figure out how to do anything other than open the book?
I'll check back later because it looks fun
Definitely a smooth game, I'm not exactly sure I decoded the message correctly?
The character movement is very nice, and it certainly has a lonely atmosphere which I think you did really well
It's fairly simple, thanks for making a browser build!
This is a really fun game! The art and audio is quirky and well done, the gameplay is really unique.
I thought it was going to be more awkward to control but it works really well!
The solutions to the things like the lightning are really clever
Super polished! I love concept
It's an interesting idea, and the graphics are decently well polished
Any chance of a web build? I'd really like to try it
~~LD doesn't seem to be loading and the itchio 404'd :(~~ ~~plz fix this looks like fun! The graphics look intriguing~~
The aesthetic is great! The sounds effects go well with it too. The narrative is decent too, I'm really impressed by how polished the art is. You also have a wonderful tutorial that a lot of LD entries are missing.
This is a great submission!
The graphics are really polished! I love the aesthetics! It's also very creative
It's a nice little narrative, the art is well done!
Looks like the end text bug was fixed too
I love the background art, it goes really well with your game. A little difficult to read the font but a nice little narrative game for sure!
This game is really cute!
It took a minute to figure out what I'm doing but it becomes more fun as I figure it out :D
Great use of the theme!
After trying a bunch of other entries this is one of my favorites
It's so well polished and the art is really well done
I love the lighting!
I'm a bit of a noob so I could have used some more checkpoints, but overall the puzzle concept works
@mr-flower Thanks for the feedback!
Yeah the underwater movement could use some improvements, we plan to improve that after the jam. We wanted to put a checkpoint after the swimming section on the second level to make it a little less annoying, but ran out of time to implement it as the current checkpoints don't remember if you've picked up the key already.
@Ausstein We're glad you enjoyed it! :D
Unfortunately a lot of the Ludum Dare's data has been lost to time, [but I actually participated in LD31 in 2014 and LD37 in 2017](https://web.archive.org/web/20170912224905/http://ludumdare.com/compo/author/penagwin/)
I saw there was only a few LD's left, and it was a great opportunity to work with some long time friends.
Here's an old screenshot of my entry for LD37 that didn't survive the archival. Unfortunately I lost the later versions of the game. early_prophunt.png
This really reminds me of a sort of cookie clicker/adventure capitalist type of game! It's pretty unique as I haven't seen anything like this before.
If anyone is stuck, make sure you click the arrows in the shop.

It's a fun rhythm game! Very cute and colorful graphics
You got the mood and theme down really well!
