Cool concept and implementation !
It's pretty rare to see good automation based games. This one is pretty hard, I failed three times and the last one was pretty weird : I was putting arrows on the ground and at some point they started disappearing. "Oh, okay you have a limited number of arrows" was I thinking but even by deleting some of them while trying to reoptimize my path they kept disappearing even if the pool was smaller.
Other than that it's a pretty great game, I really loved it. Congratulations on the entry !

Cool aesthetic, the game felt really cohesive and the shift from monochrome to colored at the end was a nice touch. It felt like an actual reward for finishing the game. Also : nice level design.
Others said it before but yeah the controls are a bit floaty (as someone who made too much platformer in unity for gamejams I know how hard it is to get right, I really feel you). Even for such a peaceful game it lacks oomph, pump your gravity scale up, don't be afraid to turn all your values to 11.
Other than that it was a cool short game, congratulations on your entry !
Meerkattika by eonarheim 2021-04-30T19:43:54Z ♥ 1
Oh yeah ! Melting a snake face with meerkat metal. I needed that.
Cool game, perfect duration. If I were to nitpick I think the controls could be a tad tighter to make the game a bit more dynamic. Other than that the it was a lot of fun.
I'm really impressed by how the difficulty is dosed : even if the game wasn't that hard there was some actual moments of tension due the snake proximity. It was a really nice feeling to escape.
Congratulations on your entry !
Depth Orb by cogcomp 2021-04-29T21:09:50Z ♥ 0
That was a really cool game !
Controls were responsive even if shooting direction was a bit off. The ability to aim either with the arrow keys or the mouse were a pretty nice touch for people testing "on the go", thanks for that.
Gfx were a bit too old-school to my taste but overall it's quite coherent visually and it's not that disturbing.
There is a hard lock zone after the first boss (mentionned by other jammers) and it was (with the flying platform, spikes and "water inertia" block) that felt a bit unfair. Other than that the level design was really nice and diverse.
Overall I really enjoyed playing this one, congratulations on your entry !
Don't Pop Descent by HuskyLover269 2021-04-28T19:55:06Z ♥ 2
Really nice game, I was pleasantly surprised to see a game like this made with UE.
The difficulty ramps up quite fast but I was not unfair. At times it was a bit panicky but identifying safe spots and moving to them is part of the genre.
My only points of frustration were that music was a bit agressive and the lack of checkpoint or any kind of save-states. Level 1 is easy to breeze through once you've played two or three times but it was still a bit frustating to do it over and over again.
Other than that the game feels and play nice, the controls work fine. It was a pretty enjoyable experience, congratulations on your entry !
Lost Child by andriirinah 2021-04-28T14:25:30Z ♥ 0
Cool shooter !
Sure, it could be improved : movement is pretty slow and I still don't know why I was taking damage without ennemies near me (or even on a screen) during a few run. I also feel like I could have enjoyed a shorter cd on the dash.
But, as simple as it is, it actually works well : shooting, ennemies, level design, etc. We all know how much gamefeel is a hard thing to get right (even more in a game jam) and it's quite a nicely packed game, congratulations on your entry !
The Deep North by buckmeister 2021-04-27T15:57:32Z ♥ 1
I saved the kingdom !
That's actually quite a nice little game, I got a strong GoT night watch vibe. The mood is really strong with one, overall it was a really enjoyable experience, duration might seems a bit short but for gamejam standards it's perfect.
Congratulations on your entry !

"That's simple I just have to dig in a straight li...OH NO NO NO !"
What a cool and refreshing game, really well put together. The controls are, at times, a bit uncooperative but other than that rare occurence it's a lot of fun. Game looks good, audio is great and even taking damage is an enjoyable experience for that face alone.
Congratulations on your entry !
Deep Breaths by Patsui 2021-04-26T21:50:31Z ♥ 2
Woaw, I never knew hom much I needed to play a "Pixel Art Racing Endless Runner About Meditation" type of game before this.
That's a really impressive, beautiful and fun game. Congratulations, that's one hell of an entry, my favourite so far !
Fairy Snares by ElllaDee 2021-04-26T20:10:57Z ♥ 2
Such a beautiful game. Really nice mood, music is awesome.
Got stuck after freeing the rabbit and falling into the pit. I could not die or reset, the escape menu wasn't of any help. Tried 4 more times to go through but nothing :(.
Congratulations on your entry tho !
Dungeon Deeper by horhorou 2021-04-26T20:00:19Z ♥ 1
Fighting pigs ? Count me in !
Really nice time rush game, the visuals are awesome (I'm a sucker for crt shaders) and the game feels good to play. The ennemies might be a tad angry and I've found myself frustraded not to be able to go down if I could manage to escape them.
Other than that it is a really great and polished game ! Congratulations !
Rocket Fishing by slam0 2021-04-26T19:49:26Z ♥ 1
Fully updgraded. At this point it's not about fishing anymore, it's about sending Neptune a messagee.
A bit short to my taste but that was just becasue I enjoyed playing it so much. It reminds me of the crazy flash-games-chain-reaction-extravangaza (in a good way).
Congratulations on your entry !
Deeper & Deeper by Encrypted 2021-04-26T19:15:50Z ♥ 0
Fun take on the dual (trial) purpose of mechanics. I was a bit confused at first but once it clicked...yeah that was it.
Death mechanic is a tad problematic (I've respawned with the same amount of bullets I had before dying) and the bullets are a bit too crazy to reliably use them. Other than that great game knowing the timeframe, nice concept !
Congratulations on your entry !
Vinewell by dpmzi 2021-04-26T18:56:27Z ♥ 1
Overall the idea makes a lot of sense and fits the theme pretty, it's a really coherent and well tought game.
My main issue is that despite all his qualities the procgen needs a lot of love (pun non intended).Half of my playthroughs were lost because - even if the collision are forgiving - there was no way down. With a bit of polish on the generation and controls you could have a really fun post LD game.
Congratulations on your entry !
Dropdown by Alexio Games 2021-04-26T17:37:16Z ♥ 0
Cute game !
I feel like it was a bit unfair at times : in such a small space it's easy to get stuck and lose for bullshit reasons. Things like a straight line of blocks are manageable but I got stuck between blocks and walls without having any kind of way out :(. Died a few times while landing on a block near the edge of the screen too.
Congratulation on your entry, it could be a fun mobile-commuter friendly game with some polish.
Stabalot by bw_devel 2021-04-26T16:59:53Z ♥ 1
Fuck. Voltaire.
Yeah, this is the one where I gave up. The first two were pretty fun once you got the hang of it, I really enjoyed doing them AGAIN AND AGAIN BECAUSE VOLTAIRE IS BULLSHIT AND I HAVE TO START OVER.
Really solid game, such a blast. Congratulations
Debt Collector by thomz12 2021-04-26T15:42:20Z ♥ 3
Cool clicker game, impressive level of polish.
The leaderboards are a welcome addition and a timer really makes it an enjoyable experience for people who are not that much into clicker games.
Congrats on your entry !
Dig Dog by jacic 2021-04-26T15:33:46Z ♥ 1
Nice one !
The begining felt weird because there was no gems at all the around the 7.5k points mark there was a lot of them. Cool entry, congratulations !
Grotto Down by xtacobaco 2021-04-26T15:25:00Z ♥ 1
That death sound :').
Really well executed and the mechanic really works. The "eye" ennemy is quite a nice idea to counter balance the obvious "slide along the walls" strategy, everytime I saw him while sliding that's where the game really shines and become a way more dynamic.
My only frustration would be the balance between such an agressive and dynamic mechanic (the hook) and how overall the game plays, it feels a little too calm sometimes. Now that I think of it, it is quite a difficult thing to balance without become plainly frustrating.
But overall it is a really solid game, I enjoyed it a lot. Congrats on your entry !
Spelunking Simulator Pro 2022 by roryh 2021-04-26T15:11:24Z ♥ 0
Loved this one !
It feels really polished and plays really. The levels are really well done : not too obvious and not too frustrating if you get into a groove. The "lava" zone is maybe the most frustating, it's where I started to feel I didn't have enough control over the drill.
Overall it's a really solid game. Congratulations on such a nice entry !
Potato Pandemonium by SugarSugarSugar 2021-04-26T14:51:47Z ♥ 3
This game has no rights to be this fun. It looks and feels like a ragegame (and at times, it is) but I found myself trying to keep on going forward.
Disclaimer : I got stuck at the "5 platforms" after the first boss and I couldn't find a way to pass through them. Still had a great time, congratulations on your entry !
Diving Festival by ultrashel 2021-04-26T14:25:38Z ♥ 1
A bit barebones but cool concept ! Others said it before but it does indeed feels like a Star Trek simulator (Deep Sea Nine ?). I feel like a more fleshed out game could totally work, it is a really nice mix of action and management.
Congratulations on your entry !
The Reverse of the Summit by squigglez 2021-04-26T14:18:51Z ♥ 2
I really enjoyed the idea of being able to jump in what usually a "move left and right" genre, it really is a refreshing take. Being able to leave is also quite clever, it could really work in more games of this genre.
Overall it is a cool, but really unforgiving, concept.
Congratulations on your entry !
