Really enjoyed the game, tho I gave up at the 7 min mark on the rocket stage. Managed to experiment with finding an amount of depth to the mechanics that really surprised and impressed me. Being able to use clever use of the landing gear mechanics to rapidly reduce speed by deliberately colliding with objects without destruction and even landing in the rocket elevator.
Liked the extra polish of some of the vfx, but felt the tolerances on most jumps were too tight with imprecise controls. Not sure whether it's intentional that jumping while touching the green blocks caused them to jump matching the player.
Great game with a cool take on the theme, I liked the unstable camera effect showing a cannon was fully charged but only ever encountered it by pre charging right click before getting in. I'm not sure if I reached the end as the teleporter after the inverted cannons didn't seem to activate for me.
Fun but I never seemed to find a benefit from the time stop mechanic, I kept trying to use it as a hold to stop or toggle. So always used it too early in the level and only completed them when I ignored it entirely.
My favourite games of the jam so far, love the interplay of unstable population dynamics of the chickens and the unstable island itself. I did find that as I built up the island the game got easier however as I had more land to work with as both 'health' and a tool for generating resources.
I liked the idea it but I always seem to die before I get a good build going.
took me a few playthroughs to figure out that the game revolved around pressing shift rather than restarting but really liked it when I figured it out
Really neat idea with loads of room for more ideas, I found that the most fun way to play was circling around the room back to the health/spin square periodically. With all my deaths from straying too close to the bottom wall. Found the sudden death from getting to close to the edge brutal. The projectile enemies were neat but I didn't find them interesting to fight against as they just hid in a distant corner as I circled near groups of them on the verge of death to get some chip damage on them while distance seemed to be the most reliable way of avoiding their attacks.
Out of curiosity did the slowdown 'friction' occur when I was damaging the enemies with the spinners or only on collisions? Reading the description I was playing assuming it was the former picking them off one by one and had a lot of fun with that playstyle.
Loved it, felt nice and fast to control. Air control felt great. And the art was just fantastic.
Loved this take on a bullet hell but found it annoyingly tricky dying to the first couple of waves each time. I found most fun flinging the universe up and defending it as it bounced around. Although I kept trying to knock it off course without picking it up by hitting it but just ended up picking it up and dying. Loved the theme!
Amazing concept, it's fantastic
It was great, I really liked the jumping and stabby combat system and how if I was getting overwhelmed I could buff my sword into a chaotic lightsaber and flail it about.
Loved the music and feel of controlling the spaceship
Really loved the games aesthetic and the VA work was great!
Really liked the mood, great descriptions on the mushrooms and berries burning making me unsure if they were edible.
Hilarious and charming, I loved the increasing panic of the health stages. The pushing was amazing after losing as he just ended up floating in the middle of a conga line of meteors haha.
Really liked how the antibodies brought germs to be killed in the static white blood cells. That was really neat.

Amazing interpretation on the theme with a great loop. Kept panicking that the tank traps were damaging me, but then got a lot calmer as I realised they just stopped the loop temporarily for a breather.

Fun and brain melting, but some of the tools seemed difficult to find or absent

Cool interpretation and theme, losing was a bit too sudden. But I had fun making (bodging?) cursed toys

Parry was nice and once you figured it out became a useful piece of kit in beating the fights
