I like how you are encouraged to conserve different ammo types and use others since you need some specific ammo type to open doors! It adds a unique twist to the rogue like genre! Also the setting is pretty funny! I had fun playing this on stream!
Really nice puzzle mechanics with the different seasons playing into one another! Had fun playing it on stream! The only issue I had is that sometimes the platforms are a little hard to differentiate from the background and some interactable objects also maybe could benefit from being a little more accentuated. Great game!
I played your game live yesterday! Too bad you weren't there to see it! Here's me playing if you would like to see in replay, I believe it was the first game I played: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kDxga2LIpCM
Very challenging puzzle game with great puzzle design! I would complain that some puzzles just had me guessing random things and hoping for something that works, but seeing that I didn't manage to solve the last level, I clearly had the wrong approach.. I had fun playing this on stream!
Really love the pixel art you got going here! Could use a double jump though! I had fun playing this on stream!
I had a fun time playing this game on stream! I love your animations and the minigame gameplay loop!
I'm streaming your game live right now! Come by to check it out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGhWusG6VMI
I had fun playing this on stream! Maybe the variety of abilities is a little on the low side, but that probably has more to do with the time constraint than anything else. Beautiful graphics though and really nice music!
Nice horror game with some legit scares... Had fun on stream! One thing I would do is to change from simply making me search for a number, present the solution in a fairly obvious location, but have the puzzle be to figure out the code from what you see.
I had a great time playing this game on stream! The amount of music you were able to produce for this game is insane! Also it's high quality music! I think the gameplay sometimes gets a little too challenging when the circles close in on each other occasionally, but other than that it's a really solid experience!
I really enjoyed playing your game on stream! My final thoughts are that the player could use some momentum based movement so they don't stop mid-air. And maybe the jumps are a bit too challenging. Maybe you could make the levels a little more forgiving but somehow reward faster completion times?
Really creative game! Had fun playing it on stream! I think some things were ambiguous at the start, but I instantly learned once I blew up the first time... Great game!
Glad to see I still hold the high score! Really nice design with how well you do in your sleep affects your performance the next day. Also I love the graphics!
These puzzles, man! Great job making puzzles that are seriously challenging! My one complaint I also mentioned on stream, was with the one rng tile. Maybe make it so you can choose the direction that tile turns the cart instead of making it random? Great game.
I had fun playing this on stream! Graphics are really nice, and the gameplay loop is pretty enjoyable! Reminded me a bit of fall guys for some reason...
I'm playing your game on stream right now, check by if you would like to watch!
This is the stream link, sorry I didn't post it the first time. You can scrub back in the timeline to see me play your game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGhWusG6VMI
I loved the juice draining animation for when you loop through the characters, really just made me wanna do that the whole game... I had fun playing this game on stream!
Really nice game! I always forget the player has a dash though, which makes the game a lot easier than without. I would definitely appreciate a life system where after a while a life orb spawns or something giving you one more chance at beating your high score.
I made it to zone 9 and failed at the looping! Might give it another shot later. The gameplay is super addictive. Love it!
It's cool that the races are set up in an open world style. I was able to cut my time down to 30 seconds on the second race by taking shortcuts.
I played to the end! Really fun game! I found the cannons to be a little frustrating, as I wouldn't know exactly where I'd end up once fired and that cost me a few lives, but enjoyed having to time my hops to hit the time limit and to avoid those turning spikes. Really funny concept as well! And nice voice acting!
Really nice atmospheric game! I played it twice, once where I tried to hit every object and once where I dodged every object. Sadly the outcome was the same, but I see what you were going for here and It's really nice!
Really cool idea! Would appreciate some more options to do as a dictator, but I guess that would go out the scope of the jam. I also found it fairly difficult to decrease the size of the crowd, no matter what I did, the crowd seemed to be amassing at the same rate.
Super cool game! The procedural element adds a lot of replayability, which is great for a jam game. I wish the rooms were labeled though, at least after first entry, since I had trouble finding rooms again after I first visited them. Otherwise really nice execution and I really liked how the music would ramp up once the enemy got close. Would also be interesting if the enemy followed you into rooms after a while to make things a little more tense.
The autofire is actually really thoughtful, lol. Prevents you from getting carpal tunnel and destroying your mouse.
Nice game! I like the idea, but I felt a little cheated when I was forced to "win" because the three paths you can take are randomized and two of them result in a goal flag with no way to go back :o . I enjoyed the game though!
@wendel-scardua interesting. I tried going for the 3 stars every time, but that didn't work. What's the tell?
Very challenging! I made it to after 5000 meters. Maybe instead of switching with number keys, assign a button to switch to the next person who has the most stamina? I would also find it interesting if you could maybe "collect" more people. Also, maybe instead of losing immediately, just kill off the person who ran out of stamina and let the rest of the people continue. Just a thought. Really like the concept!
@papaver True! I forgot about that, I remember that's something I tried doing with my people who had low health. Hmm, maybe then a button to switch to the lowest health and the highest health?
Love the little secrets you put into some of the levels. I tried my best to find them all, but wasn't successful... You really managed to put a lot of polish into the game for the timespan!
This has great potential, but at the moment it seems more like a pixel art showcase than anything else, since gameplay isn't really there yet. I think putting the ranged attack on a long cooldown would really do this game good, since that ability is very OP and can be used non-stop to clear any wave. I'm a huge fan of your pixel art though, and the sword swipe animation is really smooth!
Beautiful game! I found it similar to The Banner Saga. Music and Graphics are super fitting and I feel like the gameplay has a lot of potential. I found however, that it was very difficult on level two, to keep the kid alive, as he was very slow. I wish there was some kind of morale booster or something to speed up everyone for a time, and maybe a way to swap who is carrying the baby or even to leave the baby behind. Also I always left the old people behind no matter what, as it is impossible to make it to the end with an old person.
Damn, really dark story. That wolf gave me huge motivation to stay alive and protect my child. The side plot with the bird and the rabbit was interesting as well. I would have liked if one of them gave you a reward for not killing any of their kind, would have added something cool to the plot. I mean, the plot is already really amazing. Really cool game, and I love the voice acting!
@belle OK, I played the game again and got the vegan ending, really cool that you thought of that. One thing I'd like to add, is that at times it was very challenging to find new wood, I would walk for a while without seeing anything but snow to the point where I would almost freeze to death. I guess that adds suspense and urgency though.
Love the shooting! Game is a bit difficult though. Other than that it seems like a pretty neat classic FPS!
Really cool game. One of the best in the jam I would say. I really like the small details and polish you put into this with petting the gecko (lizard?) and the chair that moves around getting in your way. Also the hazmat bois panicking when you don't open the door is really funny.
Nice little game! I would have enjoyed a few more dialogue options and the beginning was a bit confusing, but I liked it!
Nice cookie clicker type game! I enjoyed the twist with having to fight off hordes of enemies with your soldiers. I had some issues with figuring out what some of the upgrades did, but other than that and some minor balancing this is a really nice game! Nice art too!
Yoo, really interesting concept and very nicely executed. I love the tranquil music playing while you vandalize artwork, haha.
Great game! haven't seen something like this before. I was super impressed with the sandwich physics you made here. How did you manage to keep the sandwich stacked while the player moves so erratically?? One thing I would improve is to maybe add an indicator a short time before the paws come for your plate. As it is now it's pretty much hit or miss whether my sandwich survives or not.
Rage game! I love the voice acting in this game. It's super difficult to keep the chair steady, and I never managed to hit the third pool that was a little farther out, but that's part of the appeal! Will definitely play more and rage harder. 10/10
Really cool game! I made it to 38m and then each time just fell off. I'm not sure why. Besides that, this is a really cool casual game. Maybe you can make a port for mobile and sell it on the appstore!
Really fun game! I wish there was something I could do to regenerate some of the health lost. I also found that my health was depleting even though I was repairing everything as quickly as possible (I guess that's the purpose and theme of the game). I loved the artwork and the main character!
Lovely music and art! The gameplay could use a bit more features, maybe, but what was there was very entertaining! Nice entry!

Other than the game getting wayyyy too easy once you have your first few turrets set up, this is a really cool game! I'd love to see it worked on a little more and balanced out a bit!
A cautionary tale of robot employment. This game was really fun, even though it did get too difficult already at level two. I mean, that's probably the point of the game, but maybe the ramp up could have been slightly slower. Really nice game!
Cool game! Are there multiple ways to survive? Because I only found the one on the tower with the key. I tried repairing one of the broken boats with coconuts, but I wasn't able to interact with the boats. The volcano path only lead to death sadly, lol.
I didn't want to do the actions in this game. My curiosity forced me to. :( 10/10
@stamperino hope you enjoyed the game
@ricardopino Thank you for playing my game!
@oddballdave Damn, sorry to hear that, I guess you weren't able to jump across the platforms? I probably made the game too challenging in that regard.
@milan8890 great rating scheme you got there, thanks for playing!
@kurakurture Thank you!
@kate-black Sorry to hear that, do you have any suggestions to make it better? I made it so the cart only collides with the sandwiches so it shouldn't interfere with the platforming.
@thedevatlas Love to hear it! Thanks for playing!
@cloudinksk Thanks for your feedback! The sandwich radar is tough in levels where sandwiches are spawning all around you, but maybe in the levels where there's only one sandwich that would be a good addition.
@fidrik Thanks for playing! I too wish there was sound, but that's my least favorite feature to implement and I pushed it back to the end, ultimately not finding the time to add it.
@kinart Do you play on a surface pro? Because I had the exact same issues on my surface pro. Not sure if it's the game's fault, or the laptop turning off the touchpad when the keyboard is in use (not sure if it does this). I'm glad you still enjoyed my game though!
@icxon Thanks for posting that recording! It's always cool to see someone else play my game! You know in level two, I really need to make it clear somehow, because no one notices it, but you can jump to collect the sandwiches faster! Might have helped you out. I need to put some sandwiches on some obstacles or something so people are forced to jump and 'accidentally' collect a sandwich in the air, lol. Thanks for playing!
@asukanami I have the same issue. I tried playing with my surface pro, but ended up moving then stopping then rotating the camera, then moving again. Not the best, but I managed to make it all the way through like that.
@reronin JIMMYYY!! THANKS FOR PLAYING!!
@owca Indeed! I didn't know how to make a character, so default capsule it is. Then I made a story around it. I'd love to know what you think could be done to improve the controls. Thanks for playing!
@hori Thank you for reminding me about the mouse! I added it to the instructions. Should be in the game, I know!
@augustcoder Yeah, the mouse sensitivity seems to be the biggest complaint so fat, definitely have that noted for my next games.
@codebug skippable cutscenes is something that I definitely won't forget in my next games. Thanks for playing!
Damn, the graphics are fantastic on this one. The demon sometimes slams the table and plates shake a little, really nice, haha. The gameplay is also pretty cool, I just wish my health didn't deplete that quickly.
Gets really challenging really quickly! I wish there was some kind of upgrade system in addition to the abilities. Nice game!
Great game! An in-game tutorial would be much appreciated, BUT, I found that the rules were easy enough (for me at least) to catch onto in a few seconds. Near the end there's a feeling of hopelessness as your demon siblings devour the land with not much you can do about it, so I ignored them and just spent the last moments of earth talking to my date. Bittersweet ending?
I really like this game! The game design is actually really superb. You'd think at first you'd be able to exploit the game by staying in the middle to have a smaller playing field to protect, but since you're on a timer yourself , you need a big playing field to collect all those time bombs, so the smaller the field gets, the more f'd you are, lol. Really nice!
Made it to round 9! Cool game reminiscent of simon says, with a twist. Really liked the music and graphics, super smooth!
Looks really polished. Would be cool if there was a way to shoo away the spider-demon-thing, with a light maybe, Alan Wake style. It says I won, but I know that's just a consolation prize :,(

Ok, not the best score, but I'm still proud, lol. Great game! I love the upgrades, but It's not easy to tell which weapon is "weapon 4" for example. I think weapon names like "laser beam" would be more appropriate to know what you're upgrading.
super funny idea! It took me a second to figure out all the mechanics and stop running straight into the vacuum cleaner, but then I got a pretty good run going. Too bad the vacuum cleaner is just too much of a menace though.
Really cool game! some things I would improve: Show where the enemies will be coming from. Give the player a little time to prepare for the next wave. Lastly, don't make the first wave too harsh, I found I wasn't able to finish because I just got overwhelmed by seagulls, haha. Nice game!
Managed to delay work by 5 minutes, haha. I really like how the boss looks when he comes in. Really makes me feel like I'm supposed to be working. Wish that the ketchup was controlled by the mouse instead of the keyboard, but other than that, this is a really nice game!
I like the concept very much, it's interesting how the more people you kill the more ghosts you have to deal with, kind of like an automatic difficulty curve which is always cool.
Really nice and unique art style. Ngl I thought this was a pony game at first from some of the blog posts I saw on the front page, lol.
Nice story and nice little fourth wall break at the end!
This game is kinda spooky, lol. I didn't notice the wolves at first and just went off into the forest for some wood. Almost died and then just made it back to the fire. Second time I went out I took the fire with me to fend off the wolves, but then I got lost and died anyway :/ 10/10
Had a lot of fun playing this one! Ended up making it to 13% survival chance when there was just me and another guy left and he survived two shots at 50%... sad. The fact that it's so simple is what makes it fun imo.
Very difficult! I'm not sure if it's possible to see how much health I have, but maybe it would be an idea to tie the health to the remaining time or something. I found myself only focusing on collecting coins to upgrade my health. I think if you make the boss movements a little more predictable and polish some of the features a bit this could be a really addictive mobile game!
Really nice idea with the time pausing. I wish some of the game mechanics were communicated in the game, such as the crate pushing while paused. I had to come to the comments to figure that one out. Otherwise the game is pretty fun with decent puzzles. I managed to finish all the puzzles and they were all good except for the one where the red horn mob falls into the door slot, because the timing needs to be so perfect, which is a little tricky.
Nice game! The pick up and throw mechanics are interesting, but I found myself rather choosing to just go up to enemies and punching them repeatedly instead, because the damage ranged attacks did wasn't very significant. I also found the health system to be a little confusing.
Really cool concept, I just got overwhelmed very quickly. I found myself running out of troops to deploy and then constantly placing single troops down. A way for troops to replenish faster would be amazing! Nice game!
Really interesting concept! I found it was pretty difficult to progress however if I didn't get the triple jump at the first store. Also it would be cool to see how many jumps I have left. I really liked the way you hit enemies to jump. I tended to actually avoid platforms and search for enemies to hit to gain height instead.
I actually thought the first half was pretty entertaining with getting the gun and ammo and going to the graveyard. I liked searching the town for the landmarks and finding what I was looking for. The second part was good too, but I kept hopelessly looking for a way to win (I guess that defeats the purpose of the theme).
Very difficult, omg. Wasn't even able to make it to one minute. Game requires a lot of skill for sure (not a bad thing). I really like the art and the idea to implementation. Also the approach to your tutorial is really cool.
Really cool game! On my first playthrough I was a bit confused, because I decked my ship out with sails and couldn't build anything else, lol. My second playthrough went a bit smoother, though. I got a boiler and fan along with some hulls and castle. Lasted about 10km. I also see there is potential to build upwards forever. I haven't tested it yet, but it seems possible, unless the ship just sinks at some point, lol. Nice concept. I like the music too!
Nice art style, That's what made me check out this game! I was a little confused by the gameplay and ended up just mashing buttons (probably cause I don't know the game this was inspired by), but still got a pretty high score of about 700m. Really nice work for the timeframe!
These coworkers are some of the most inconsiderate people I've ever seen. Just walking right in to me and pushing me towards the boss like they want me to get fired. "I'm trying to fix your computer damnit! Get out of my way!". And what's the boss doing, just walking around the office all day and people better stay away from him, lol. I made it to shift 4 before being fired.
Really funny gun wielding corgi, haha! How did you come up with that? I really liked the minimap, would be cool if you could see where you're aiming on there too. Screenshot 2022-04-09 002710.png
Haha, this is an amazing game. There should be a timeout corner to place unruly kids in and a revive machine that summons the children back from death with a pentagram or what not.
Really nice first submission! The bullet ricochet is definitely something you should expand on! Maybe make some right angle walls and some corridors the player can shoot down. And add an automatic weapon.
Super cool game! Love the physics aspect of loading the ship. The space flight was the weakest part imo, but it was still interesting. I thought it was a bit difficult to control and avoid all the debris at the same time, haha. One thing I didn't get: are you able to pick up cargo in space or only lose it? Because there are some named things in space that I tried ramming but only managed to lose cargo to.
I understand that the time limit probably got to you, but a few more levels would have been really cool. Was looking forward to some progression. (idk maybe there is progression, but I failed)
Love the visuals! The gameplay is a bit too easy though. I see there's more depth to it than it seems, but it feels like that depth is never reachable due to how easy it is. With a bit of balancing this game is pretty good!
I'd love to try this so if anyone wants to play, just hit me up.
Really cool! The growing and shrinking changing your stats is a really good idea! More levels is all I need.
Cool game! It just becomes impossible after a while cause you can't click fast enough! Would like to see some kind of progression.
Really cool! I love the idea of this game with tiles affecting each other and being able to hot swap tiles mid-flight. One thing I noticed, however, is that there is only one real configuration: Two engines, three batteries, one turret, two ammo and the rest cargo. Would be cool to see some kind of incentive to stray from that design. I also noticed that it's very inefficient to have three engines since two batteries are required and they deplete at the same rate :/
It's a great game, though.
Wasn't able to get more than 28 points :,{ it's pretty addicting at first, cause you can retry it fairly seamlessly, but becomes slightly frustrating after restarting 30 times, maybe a slightly shallower difficulty curve would be fitting. cool game!
