A really great game. Feels really nice to burn those ghouls and the music really added to the theme. Also really liked the power ups and the bombs.
Think the difficulty ramps up a bit too quickly and becomes almost impossible to progress past the first minute or so.
I actually thought about doing just this when the theme was announced. I'm now glad I didn't because I would have clearly just made an inferior version of your game.
Really enjoyed this. Loved how simple the base game was and how hard it became. Loved the music, working on it was obviously time well spent. And I loved the little death animation when you hit the spikes. It really made what could have been the most frustrating part of the game enjoyable. Well done!
Really nice idea, I hope he was making another Game Jam Survival Simulator. Really nice UI and the different options felt well balanced. Animations were a nice touch but bugged out regularly. Great game though!
Really great game that made me laugh a lot. Liked the melding of the videos and drawings. The substitutions were fairly challenging. Nice!
Liked the concept of a trading game and the graphics were great.
Feels like it was missing something. Maybe a way to lose money or an enemy to fight/run away from between the islands.
Really interesting concept for a puzzle platformer. Controls felt really nice and I liked the overall mood of the game. Well done!
Really like the idea of the minigame to shoot the bullets and the back and forth between collecting bullets and getting to shoot them.
Was quite confusing to begin with but ended up being quite fun. Would love to see what more you could do with this.
This is a great game! The foxes are a genius idea as they act as a soft time limit, adding urgency to the game. Love the style of the graphics.
I also made a herding game. While its not as good as yours I would love to know what you think of mine.
Nice game. I liked the combination of solving the maze, sneaking past the enemies and aiming your shots.
As others have said, it would have been nice to be able to shoot in a different direction to the one your moving in. But obviously thats something that could be added later.
Top marks for the concept and the music is really nice, but are you aware that you can't progress past the second level? Clicking the next level button does nothing.
Also I recognise the art assets you have used. As these are not your own you I believe you should be entering the jam and not the compo. You should also opt out of being rated on graphics.
Fun game, really fun to play. Really enjoyed the unique way the combat works. Would be really interested to see how you would expand on this with extra mechanics but really good for 48 hours.
Really well executed runner platformer. Lovely graphics and interesting alternate paths to take.
Would have loved a christmasy soundtrack or some Santa sound effects though.
@mrnyarlathotep Thanks for the great feedback. There is audio but unfortunately it starts muted and need to be turned up in the options menu :( hope I don't lose to many ratings for that.
@FussenKuh Thanks for the feedback! The cats do actually meow but the sound starts muted for some reason. Please turn the volume up in the options menu.
I will of course take a look at your game :)
@navot There are definitely quite a few herding games this time round. I expect the theme just gave an excuse to anyone who's interested in flocking algorithms.
Thank you very much. I actually quite like that the cats are twitchy. To me it makes them act more cat like compared to the super smooth sheep in your game. It also adds a little bit of difficulty to a game than would otherwise be trivial. I was definitely to cautious about making the game too hard :/
Really appreciate you looking through my code as I haven't had a chance to yet. Yes I think I will fix that and resubmit. Not adding extra features so I should be safe. I'm curious to look through your code actually :D
Really fun game, and really challenging when the cats keep coming out of the bloody bin! Loved the graphics but the mood is so dark. I also happened to make a game about herding cats if you want to check it out.
I really really like this game. You can tell how much effort went into the dragon mechanics. Dodging and outsmarting dragons feels really great.
The music was simple but enjoyable, and fit the game well. Loved the dragon sound effects, which I assume was you croaking down you mic :P
Would have liked to see more work on the visuals though.
A simple idea but really well executed, with nice polish in the animations and sound effects. Had a lot of fun playing this and it's amazing you made this in 24 hours.
My only complaint is the camera doesn't show you what's coming and you can't plan your boosts accordingly. I hope you take this forward and improve it.
Looks like it could be a really nice skill based platform game, but unfortunately I can't even make the first jump. I think it's a bit too difficult.
I really like the idea of balancing resources, as what would normally be considered 'the game' plays out on its own. Really fun!
Great idea for a game! Nice art style and great gameplay. Quality is top notch, with a bit more content this could easily be a paid app.
You did a great job with this! I could barely get my head around solving some of these puzzles, so God knows how you designed them. Loved the level transition animations and the movements sounds changed pitch as you changed height. You also introduced the mechanics in really nice ways. Well done!
Really cool minimalist puzzle builder game. Had fun trying to keep down the corruption. These kinds of games are often hard to balance but you seem to have done a good job. Would love to see some simple graphics instead of the coloured squares.
Controls were not great. Feel like friction/dampening so that if you release all controls you come to a stop. Also would have been nice to zoom in and out so I could understand where I was. Really interesting concept though so would like to play again if you worked on the control.
Nice simple puzzle game. Well executed and clean graphics. Would have liked to have seen an extra mechanic at some point or an option for a larger puzzle, as I did lose interest quickly. Good job though!
Great collection of minigames around a common theme. Felt the jumping platform one was a little unfair as it was not easy to judge how much thrust to give. Suppose it did make me replay to keep trying though. Shame you didn't get the astronaut in there. Don't suppose you have somewhere you could showcase it so people at least get to see your artists work?
Interesting puzzle game with a lot of potential! Was a little confused about the rules, even after reading them above. I did also get the issue where the camera scrolls off to the right, but I just reloaded the page and it didn't happen again. Really impressed that you got a managed to get a level editor in there too.
Really enjoyed playing your game. Made me laugh a lot!
Very funny game! Felt like i was just spamming the spacebar though, not much skill involved. Great music though!
Simple game done well. Looked great too! Music was a bit repetitive towards the beginning of the track and, as it restarts when you die, you end up listening to the same part over and over.
Made me laugh more than I'd like to admit!
@phantomopenboxing Sorry to hear that, hope it was fun anyway. I had planned to have specials where you would colour an area around you or in a straight line, but unfortunately I ran out of time. May continue with this and add them in. Thanks for the feedback.
@esmouc Glad you enjoyed it. Yes, they were only supposed to be placeholders to be replaced with lasers but ran out of time :( Thank you for the feedback.
@goutye Congrats for completing it! Yes the bullets definitely need to be more visible. Cheers for leaving feedback.
@schsam Thank you! As I had no tutorial I wanted the first level to be fairly relaxed for players to familiarise themselves with the controls and the mechanic. Hope it was challenging enough by the end though. I am particularly proud of the music considering I'm no musician, haha! Having the colours not change probably would have fit the theme better. Good suggestion, I will try it.
@allan-kong Glad you liked neon as I spent way too much time on achieving the effect. Not something I've done before. Unfortunately, I think the neon is partly to blame for the poor visibility of the bullets. Thank you for your comments.
@g4mr Yes, this was inspired by Splatoon (although I've never played it)! I think that's a great idea, thanks for your feedback.
Great game! I played for ages. hope you continue with this as I feel this could be even better with some kind of story. There's a great balance between all the mechanics and it's a real good use of the theme. Well done!
Great game! Love the aesthetics and was really fun to play. Played several times (had to get on that leaderboard) and it only got better. Feels like a complete game so Would be interesting to see what you might have added given more time.
Great idea but as others have said it just needs time spent on balancing. I started by building lots of seats, which makes the game almost impossible to win. When I realised I could just buy lots of prayers it made the game trivial. Really nice art and music though. Hope you revisit this, as could be really good with some tweaking.
Great looking game and an interesting concept. The food sprites and the UI look gorgeous. Did find myself just waiting for certain food to appear at the start of the game, and then at the end I had too much to do. Maybe this could be smoothed out by increasing the chance that food on an order appears?
Interesting concept! Controls are great as its really satisfying to move around on the water. Liked the flavour text that appears too. Would like to see it fleshed out a bit more :)

I challenge someone to beat me!!
Really fun crazy game with cool graphics and music. Played for a long time.
Really good use of the theme to make an interesting and challenging puzzle game. Great music and cute graphics. The binding for the rotations did get in the way of me fully enjoying though.
A simple game executed very well. Great visual effect and sound effects. There was a good amount of enemy variety too. I would have liked for there to be more upgrades.
Enjoyed popping those balloons with foxy! Fun frantic game with nice sound effects and music. Felt like the obstacles would sometimes appear very quickly without giving me a chance to react. Maybe, I was moving to fast though. Well done!
What a fantastic game! Looks great and well thought out. I wish I had some more constructive feedback but its just great. Best game I've played so far.
Really well put together game. The music, sounds and art style made me feel uneasy at all time. Has quite a few laughs with the notes and talking to the employees. Good job!
@exewin Thank you so much for letting me know. I have just implemented a fix. Ironically the line I had to change was a failed attempt to fix another bug, haha!
Very funny intro! Nice graphics but hated the music.
Great looking game! Was fun to play however I quickly realised that the game can be played by just avoiding the grey chickens meaning that combat was unnecessary. Otherwise, good job!
Nice first entry. Could have done with some UI to help work out what items were required and what some items were. Controls worked really well. Look forward to seeing more from you.
Really nice mobile style game. Have to agree with @thegamedev, I was hoping to see some blood splatter or have some satisfying meat grinder sounds. Other than that, good job!
Really liked the idea of using commands to control the character. Interesting use of the theme to sacrifice the other blocks. However, the commands did make the game frustrating to control sometimes and the the collisions of the box could be a bit unpredictable.
Great concept though so will be keeping an eye on you post-jam version!
Really liked the drawing mechanic, I'd be interested to know how it was implemented. Fun little game and good use of the theme.
Really clever puzzle game. Levels were designed just right to guide me through and teach you some of the intricacies. You have inspired me to try a puzzle game next jam. Well done!
Cool game! Loved the story and the music was really epic. I found myself avoiding enemies rather than fighting them, as it was easier to progress and I didn't see the advantage of engaging in combat. The mazes were really good, did you design them or were they generated?
Fantastic game. Loved the music and the humor. Can't we to see more from you.
Amazingly clever puzzle game. Would love to see you expand on this. Needs some quality of life UI added as some parts can get frustrating. Well done!
Also, thanks for helping find the bug in my game.
Nice use of particle effects and animations. Felt really fun to shoot and the end boss was really good.
Everything did feel a little jittery but I'm sure this could be ironed out with more time.
Would be great to see what you could do if you carried on with this.
Good fun game. Great that you got this done in 48 hours.
Don't think I would have finished without the walk through as I didn't know there was an inventory.
Especially enjoyed the last puzzle. Good work!
Nice game. Has some issues with the sound and it seemed that I ran out of zombies to kill at the end. Will be interesting to see what you do with this post-jam.
Great game. Loved the art, loved the music, loved the mechanics. Rate of upgrades works really well two. Well done!
@shard Thanks for letting me know! Have now fixed and re-uploaded.
@shard @sode Apologies for that. Thanks for taking the time to play though.
@sebastien-bourgeois I agree. I didn't end up leaving enough time to play test. I would also bring the cost of the upgrades down. People don't have enough time to grind for them and the games far less interesting without them. Thanks for the feedback.
@goerp Yeah, right clicking for thrust would have been good. But like you say, not sure how that would work for html.
The only difficulty change I had was to increase the number of enemies as the game went on. The enemy types just had a static probability of being spawned. On average, each wave should be made up of the same proportions of enemy types. I will check but sounds like you just got unlucky!! :P
Really cool environment with cool atmospheric music. Just wish the loop had been a little longer.
Ended up with very jittery movement after first buying strength. Assume you were supposed to swim faster but didn't work for me.
Impressed you got this much modeled in 48 hours! Well done!
Cool game! Really enjoyed the music.
Would have loved for there to be more feedback on enemy hits.
Can't believe this was all done on an iPad though!
Would love to see this fleshed out into a post-jam version. Looked beautiful and has potential.
As others have said, it would be nice to see how the card you draw and your player stats impact the result of your choices.
Really interesting concept and interpretation of the theme. Was funny how I mostly ignored my family just so keep getting points haha. Was too stressful to do both! Played through to get both endings and thought they were both great.
