As jk5000 mentioned, the game can feel a little stuttery between "turns", which feels a little disorienting. Perhaps simply having things move a few pixels around their position could help keep things feeling like they're moving. That aside, the core gameplay still works quite well. Having distinct patterns for different enemy types was a nice element, and helped give the game a strategic feel.
Simple but fun! I really liked the various environmental effects.
Gameplay is pretty good on this one! The controls are nice and responsive, and it feels quite fair to play, even if it's difficult.
I really, really like what you've done with the 2 button controls concept: changing them up like that is fantastic. That said, I feel like the keys need to be labelled or something, because it felt overwhelmingly difficult to even identify which key was which, and by the time I figured it out the player moved too slowly to react in time. Still a fantastic game though!
Quite fun, but it had a couple of issues here and there. The purple mushrooms were often unavoidable, and sliding would scroll the page down in my browser. Loved the art though, and the game was very good overall!
Very interesting game, nice and relaxing!
Excellent game! Very difficult, but not unfairly so. From time to time there would be a red followed by a green where there simply wasn't time to scale correctly, but apart from that it was a very unique and enjoyable experience! My high score was only 21.
Pretty fun game, but I found there wasn't much incentive to do much more than go from top to bottom. And when the speed gets higher it's essentially impossible to not hit the 5-person queue limit.
Fun little game! I quite liked the concept of colliding with enemies to gain more ships, and the extra bullets provided there balanced out very nicely with the larger hitbox.
Very fun! Simple to understand and play, but still reasonably challenging! I managed 165.
Loved the graphics, and flinging Billy around the map was quite fun once I figured it out (I spent a good chunk of the game dragging myself along the floor, haha).
Absolutely incredible game. Pretty much ideal for a solo LD in all categories. I didn't manage to beat conductrix, since my timing is all kinds of terrible, but it was lots of fun to play regardless. The only issue I found was that a couple of times there were issues with the ball triggering a hit when it was along the middle of the field, but it wasn't something I could reliably reproduce. Either way, this is a pretty strong contender for overall winner, in my books!
I really like this one! Excellent use of the themes, and the sense of progression is very good. I'd definitely be interested in seeing what could come of this if you decide to do more with the concept!
The player's moves felt very versatile and powerful, so it was a lot of fun to play around with different ways of fighting enemies, and I liked the open-ended levels! Really nice game overall.
Pretty cool! I imagine it would be a lot easier with 2 players, since it takes all my concentration to simply play with the platformer. The physics are a little momentum-heavy for him but the game is quite creative overall!
The mechanics in this were very clever, I loved the way that it all comes together at the end!
Love the graphics and the gameplay. Although I'd say that keeping track of how many mistakes the player makes is a little discouraging for finding new combinations.
Quite nice! It's a little repetitive (and wears on your clicking finger) but when you get some of the fancier guns the pace really picks up. Running around shooting things feels very satisfying!
Very fun! I managed to get to $1500 on my third try and then progressively got worse. The graphics and audio are fantastic, even if it's relentlessly difficult to turn a profit.
Haha, this is wonderful!
Very fun!

Top-notch stuff. It has just about everything you could ask for from a game jam entry!

Absolutely loved this game! I played around with a few different strategies, and found that rushing for the 35 wood/stone for weapons so that I could get the stone was fastest. After a few runs with that approach, my best score was 1380!
EDIT: Having given it a couple more goes, I notice that it'll rank you more than just 3 stars... Now I need to find out if it goes to 5!
EDIT 2: 2160 points and 5 stars! Really liked how much depth I got out of such a straightforward game.

Loved this one! Took me a bit to get a feel for the mechanics, but once I did I was hooked. Very satisfying to start piling up upgrades.

All-around a great little game! Good gameplay loop, fits well with the theme, and feels pretty complete overall.
Priest of RAGE by TheVideoGamester 2019-10-07T04:00:43Z ♥ 1
Great use of the theme! I love progression-focused games, so this is one of my favourites so far. There seems to be an audio bug in there somewhere, possibly related to the quick reset coins. I ended up with the music stacking on top of itself, even back in the menus.

This was great, excellent use of the theme!

A solid game! The building mechanics are a lot of fun, to the point where the normal platforming feels almost like a distraction from the rest of the game. Sometimes felt a bit harsh when you lose bits of goo over the edge and couldn't progress. Perhaps goo should come out of the most recent tap if you lose them into the water?
Egg Farm by kuviman 2019-10-07T01:01:08Z ♥ 1
Lots of fun! Things get hectic pretty quick, but it works to the game's benefit, there's always something you need to pay attention to.
Gem Miner by Jasper Hansen 2019-10-07T00:47:41Z ♥ 0
I loved this game! The sprites have so much character to their animations, and I just like digging games like this in general.

Link's working now! Nice and simple puzzle game, I like the lighting mechanic!
Wordplay by FoolishFire 2019-10-07T00:24:57Z ♥ 1
Nice and experimental. I like the literal take on the theme!
Light Bots by Inventivum Games 2019-10-07T00:15:10Z ♥ 1
Very solid! Good level design that gradually gets more complicated without getting unreasonable. I would say that the platformer controls feel a little over-responsive, and slowing the robots down would help, but otherwise a great entry!
Collecting Parts by LegendaryHippo 2019-10-06T23:59:17Z ♥ 1
This was fun! A metroidvania approach works very well for this theme. I feel like it could do with some tweaks (like giving wall jumps a little more vertical movement) but the fundamentals are all there.

I really enjoyed this one! The slowly-expanding world works pretty well, and I feel like it'd be a great base to expand on later.
