Cool game! Great pixel art graphics and engaging animations! Fun to play. Throwing physics are very nice and easy to control 👍 Good job!
Interesting puzzle concept! Requires some perseverance :) I like the graphics and sound effects, they combines into pretty nice atmosphere. Good job!
Nice collection of mini games, reminds me of Wario Ware. I like the style of graphics. Good job!
Pretty atmospheric combo of audio and graphics! Good job!
Nice simple game 👍 I like the glow effect, it gives the game atmosphere! Good job!
Nice simple game, good job! Art is opted-out but it looks pleasant. Summoned Scarlet Wrath :)
Fun tactics! The increase in the difficulty is felt quite clearly. I like charge of actions indication. Noted a bug: "Attack" action sometimes doesn't affect enemies near you. Thanks for the game, good luck!
Crazy game with an unexpectedly epic and cinematic ending! Pretty atmospheric graphics, feels like a 3D cartoon. Good job!
Interesting concept! Atmospheric graphics style and music. Funny animations. Pretty hard to learn but fun to play.
Some remark on polishing: game pretty intensively uses GPU, so turned on Low quality. After game restart lights are turned off on Low settings, so you need to change quality setting to turn the lights on.
Overall polished game!
Great job!
Pleasant graphics and audio! Simplicity of gameplay and a polished look make it fun to play mini-game. Good job!
Interesting concept. Pleasant color palette. It was pretty hard to determine where to put mouse and on which distance to attack enemies at the beginning. Game reminded me of another one - Lugaru. Nice entry and keep going!
Interesting concept of resource management game. It was pretty fun and challenging to figure out how to build first setup. Remark on polishing the game: text look pretty small and hard to read on 4K display. Good job!
Interesting concept! Pretty atmospheric. Nice feeling of urgent task when you need to enter the code.
It was confusing that cursor hidden, so it was not clear how to interact with steering and keypad at the beginning.
Good job!
Pleasant graphics and sound effects! Game intensively uses trial and error method and memorization - it is feels impossible to determine where to find crystals on the first try, so you touch every furniture and battery runs out quite often, which is followed by starting from the first level again. Nice entry, keep going!
Funny little game. Nice models and animations - character feels pretty alive 👍 Sometimes it hard to find a right moment to jump to the next platform. Good entry, keep going!
Nice little game. Feels ultra hard to play.
Some remarks on polishing: 1. Window size is pretty small on 4K display, so it is hard to read the text and focus on things. 2. Sometimes harvesters bounce away of resources so no harvesting happens. It happens than you move multiple harvesters together.
Keep going!
Interesting concept. Pretty hard to understand how to play and what actions lead to what at the beginning, so it is played by trial and error. Pleasant simple graphics. Nice entry.
Cool and fun concept! Interesting mechanic of items balance. Mouse is very sensitive in WebGL version, so played Windows version. Some remark on polishing: sometimes game continues after exiting store with all the items, so you need to go closer to another door outside of store to complete the game. Good job!
Nice concept of easy to learn and hard to play game. Sometimes it feels that you are already on place but you need to move truck a little, so it is placed less perfect as before. Graphics are simple but pleasant.
Interesting concept. Playing versus AI feels like you have infinite resources so you can do anything but nothing forces you to act against AI. Think it would be great to see a video tutorial on how is it expected to be played.
Nice game with cools physics and pleasant stylish graphics! Was pretty hard to understand how to place pieces to move the character at the beginning, but this became clear by trial and error. This looks fun and lively when character moves back to ground when pieces are unstable 👍
Nice little game with an unexpected twist at the end. Some remark on polishing: game window is pretty small on 4K display, it is hard to focus on things.
Nice little game. Felt the taste of lemon throughout the game 🍋
Very chaotic, challenging and pretty entertaining game! Funny audio, visuals and dialogs - well combined and atmospheric.
Some remark on polishing: game frozen and then crashed on second playthrough after beating the second level and before following cutscene - I was clicking and pressing [space] to skip cutscene faster.
Nice entry!
Nice to meet you guys! The game has cool atmosphere: the first and the last chapters were creepy. Graphics are simple but supports the atmosphere. Remarks on polishing the game: window is pretty small on 4K display, so it is hard to focus on things. Good job!

Рад встрече, ребята! У игры классная атмосфера: первая и последняя главы нагнали жути. Графика простая, но поддерживает атмосферу. Заметка по полировке игры: окно довольно маленькое на 4K экране, тяжело всматриваться. Хорошая работа!
Interesting innovative puzzle! Very nice minimalistic graphics. The first level made it clear what to do. Some levels were pretty challenging to beat, especially the last one - "Hex2", 70+ moves here. Good entry!
Nice little PSX style horror. Pretty atmospheric.
Some remarks on polishing: 1. Black screen at the beginning after "This game contains scenes" message confused me, looks like some text supposed to be there but has gone. 2. Game window is pretty small on 4K display, so it is hard to see things on dark scenes. 3. Character got stuck in second gate after closing it. 4. Played using mouse and keyboard: feels that camera has too much acceleration.
Good job!
Very nice graphics and animations! Pretty fun innovative gameplay. Pleasant music and sound effects. Feels like these are bonus levels from some more varied game and that I want to play such a game with same characters and atmosphere. Played single-player mode.
Nice fresh mechanic! Pretty atmospheric graphics and and audio. Sometimes it feels hard to concentrate, I think it is due to similarity of colors of paper and scissors.
Pleasant and atmospheric art! Nice animations. Interesting story messages.
Some remarks on Gamejam release: 1. 4shared hosting was time-consuming. Expectation: file is hosted on hosting without registration and waiting, e.g. on itch.io like updated version or on Google Drive. 2. Game lacks of audial feedback. Expectation: sounds used to give feedback on actions and music supports mood and atmosphere. 3. Sometimes enemies hit you at the distance after you get hit while jumping on them. Expectation: enemies hit you only visually touching you. 4. Background image is centered without stretching the screen, so background is mostly black. 4K display here. Expectation: background is stretched to screen.
2 is partially fixed with music added to the game, 4 is fixed and looks like 3 is fixed in V6.
Hope this remarks will be helpful.
Good entry!
Interesting gameplay! Nice graphics and sound effects. Pretty fun to play.
Some remarks: 1. Enemies feel too heavy and take a long time to destroy. Expectation: less time to destroy enemies at least at the beginning. 2. Descent at the bottom is hidden behind the wall. Expectation: descent is 2 cells above the wall or walls are hidden at the bottom. 3. Monsters are visible enough and turrets work in darkness, so lights feel pretty useless. Expectation: darkness adds some gameplay limitations, e.g. lower range for turrets. 4. Sometimes turrets try to shoot more distant enemies and enemies behind the wall. Expectation: turrets shoot nearest enemies in line of sight.
Hope this remarks will be helpful.
Good entry!
Atmospheric and stylish graphics and audio! Pretty simple gameplay but atmosphere and animations make it interesting to play.
Some remarks: 1. Sometimes game lacks of feedback on why nothing happens after clicking on items, e.g. clicking on diary at the beginning. Expectation: cursor or text indicate that it is too early to click on item. 2. Text on TV disappears too quickly, so it is hard to read it. Expectation: more time to read or clicking to continue. 3. Game got stuck on putting words into sentences: nothing happens on clicking and dragging words and numbers. 4K display here. Expectation: drag words onto numbers.
Hope this remarks will be helpful.
Good entry!
Interesting and fun concept of improvement of gameplay! Reminds me of Evoland game. Pretty nice and relaxing atmosphere. Funny madness.

Nice concept! Pleasant collisions. Sound effects provide sufficient feedback.
Some remarks: 1. [F] key does nothing in main menu in Windows version. Expectation: [F] key toggles fullscreen mode as mentioned. 2. This might be intendent. but minigun feels too strong: it pushed you back to top too much so you need to fall down longer. Expectation: minigun pushed you back with less power.

Nice entry!
Interesting and fun concept! Pleasant graphics and sound effects. Pretty hard to play and get prepared for the next level, so this forces you to find working tactics.

Some remarks: 1. Boss fight feels monotonous and too long. Expectation: more damage to boss or/and more different boss attacks on the first half of fight. 2. Game lacks of lore introduction so music is turn away of gameplay. 3. Fight continued when boss lost all the health. Looks like health bar has zero length on little amount of health. 4. This might be intendent, but jumping feels irresponsive sometimes.
Hope this will be helpful.
Nice entry!
Nice short game. Pleasant music.
Some remarks: 1. Game lags sometimes. 4K display here. 2. Game lacks of duration and variability. Expectation: at least one chance to use every mechanic, e.g. one more room with enemies to use healing before entering it.

Some remarks: 1. Game lack of music. Expectation: game contains music to support the mood. 2. When you move left or right after digging down you go back on height before digging down. Expectation: you stay on height after digging down.
Good entry!
Interesting usage of randomness!
Some remarks: 1. Game is silent. Expectation: game gives you audial feedback on distance to target rooms and music supports the mood. 2. Space button scrolls page down sometimes. Expectation: game runs at fullscreen or captures keyboard.
Good entry!
Fun innovative experience! Nice stylish graphics and sound effects. Acceleration of the elevator is catchy.
Some remark: difficulty is pretty plain with spikes based on random appearance of multiple imps. Expectation: difficulty grows evenly.
Good job!
Highly dynamic experience! Merciful chaos.
More dynamics needs more variety.
Nice entry!
Interesting and fun concept! Nice graphics and sound effects.
Some remarks: 1. It was not really clear that screen can be scrolled, noticed this only on second try. Expectation: tutorial contains information about screen scrolling or game contains indication of scrolling level. 2. Screen scrolls up when cursor is on the top half of screen and down when cursor touches bottom of the screen. 4K display here. Expectation: screen scrolls up and down when cursor is inside same sized regions. 3. Game lacks of restart button. Expectation: there is a button to restart game without refreshing web page.
Good entry!
Fun concept! Nice graphics and physics.
Some remarks: 1. Character frequently flies away of things. Expectation: more things fly around or character move faster. 2. UI needs some polishing: mouse is used to complete entering name and empty name freezes the game on the next screen. Expectation: double press of Enter button completes entering name and you need to enter name to continue.
Good entry!
Nice decision making game! It has an excellent response: you feel the power growing.
Some remarks: 1. Walls sometimes hide monsters. Expectation: monsters appear only in visible areas. 2. Game becomes easier and easier but extremely hard at the end. Expectation: difficulty grows gradually and let you prepare for the final battle. 3. Game restarts from the begging after dying. Expectation: game restarts from the beginning of section and allow you to make different choices.
Good job!
Interesting concept, mainly reminds of Surgeon Simulator! Nice graphics and sound effects.
Some remarks: 1. Physics need some polishing: fried chicken frequently goes through container. 2. Shadows could be placed right under the hands and used to inform about their position. 3. Additional button could be used to slow down hands and move them more precisely.
Good job!
Nice stylish pixel graphics! Speed boosts on attacks give the game interesting dynamics.
Some remarks: 1. Game lacks of audial feedback on actions. Expectation: sounds make the game more catchy. 2. Acid is merciless. Expectation: acid damages instead of killing or level contains several checkpoints, especially after key events.
Good entry!
Hello :)
Music and animations give a great mood to the game! Plot twist after restart gives the game a great contrast and interest. After completing the game, there is a desire to play more.
Some remark: if you open the door before you can exit then you need to reopen it to exit.
Good job!

Привет :)
Музыка и анимации отлично задают настроение игры! Поворот сюжета после перезапуска добавляет игре контраста и подогревает интерес. После прохождения игры есть желание поиграть ещё.
Небольшое замечание: если открыть дверь до того, как можно выйти, то потом понадобится закрыть и открыть дверь заново, чтобы выйти.
Отличная работа!
Very nice little game! Fun to play. Initial levels provide enough understanding in controls. The last level fits perfectly into the overall mechanics.
Death sound is pretty loud compared to other sounds.
Great entry!
Cool and solid pixel graphics! Nice old school vibes backed by sound effects.
Some remarks: 1. Collisions with coins not very responsive: sometimes you don't collect them on touching. Expectation: coins are collected when you touch them. 2. Black background with such a resolution feels pretty empty. Expectations: more detail on background or more compact levels. 3. Usage of high jumps is not clear enough. Expectation: controllable double jump instead of uncontrollable high jumps.
Good entry!
Excellent entry! Nice graphics and audio - pretty atmospheric.
Some remarks: 1. Levers are not really visible. Expectation: more colorful levers. 2. Pretty intricate control scheme. Accidental teleportations happen pretty frequently. Expectations: 2.1. Key for teleportation is far enough of jump key. 2.2. Automatic teleportation happens instead of death after time left. 3. "Play again" button doesn't work. Expectation: game continues from the last checkpoint.
Played HTML5 version in Google Chrome using arrows + ZXCV control scheme.
Great job!
Nice beat em up! Pretty easy but fun to play. Interesting concept and cool stylish graphics. Well done!
Interesting concept and nice graphics! Health indication is pretty atmospheric.
A couple of remarks: 1. Jumping out of walls is pretty hard. Sliding helps a little. 2. Font looks small on 4K display.
Good job!
Nice game! Pretty fun to manage actions. The graphics are good enough to distinguish friends from enemies.
Game need fixes on building: 1. You can spend resources on blueprints where no blueprints are built. Expectation: noting happens when there is blueprint or empty cell under cursor. 2. Sometimes blueprints are built instead of barracks. Expectation: barracks are built when barracks are chosen to be built.
Good entry!
Interesting idea, reminds me of Jaws game for NES. The color palette creates an atmosphere.
UI is pretty small on 4K display. Game needs more clarification on how to play or fixes: 1. You see few objects below moving down. Expectation: you can see far enough to plan your actions. 2. Buddy falls down and gets a lot of damage than you grapple him. Expectation: buddy stops right after grappling. 3. Buddy grappling doesn't work sometimes. Expectation: grappling work every time or something indicates grappling limit.
Good job!
That was really fun to play! Looks like finished game. It was like short film in a world of games. Nice graphics, sound, storyline and humor. Still needs some polishing: 1. Text is shaking when you move. 2. Feedback is not enough when you miss button while dancing: it is not clear how this affects the result. 3. Screen is shaking when you move into vertical wall. 4. Moving down on diagonal surface is not smooth: feels like you are bouncing.
Google Chrome 81.0.4044.138 here. All the best!
Game is fun to play, nice art style and humor. In 4k resolution right down display shifts: screenshot.png Sound and animation for cup would be great :)
Interesting clicker concept with storyline and wide range of upgrade options. Nice stylish graphics and sound. "Hold to upgrade" made well: appropriate, responsive, fast enough. More enemies and dynamics would be great ;)
Nice stylish graphics, sounds and music! Game is pretty fun to play. Would be great to see more levels and features.
Nice art and polished interface! Atmospheric background sound. Sounds go well with events. Dialogs and events are interesting and catchy. Scrolling with mouse wheel is pretty slow and needs fixing in HTML5 and Windows versions. Scrolling in Android version is okay. Android version needs compatibility with notch on display: it hides some letters. Sometimes digging depth doesn't update after Mine Supervisor's report. Found Frozen Mammoth on the first try :) maybe game needs more goals to improve replayability and/or statistics/achievements on the final screen.
Nice atmospherics graphics and audio. Gameplay needs more dynamics and attack variations. Sometimes audio bleeps in HTML5 version, Google Chrome 81.0.4044.129 here.
Nice art style and audio! Game is pretty hard because fox often runs away. Sometimes fox jumps too high: about 5 platforms. Tutorial didn't work for me: just black screen with red decreasing line on top.
Fun game! Nice sound effects. Some weapon upgrades, health restore and button to instantly start wave would be great. Cooldown after fight would prevent buying blocks you never supposed to buy :) Also, noticed that sprites of blocks shifting sometimes when you are walking up and down.
Update: sometimes music stops and game crashes after a while, x64 version.
Nice stylish graphics. Interactive tutorial, more gameplay variations/obstacles/enemies and some sound effects would be great.
Hello! Got "Failed to load mono" error on start. It was because "MonoBleedingEdge" folder was missing. Copied it from another your game on itch.io - Fumble.
What about Abu game: 1. Nice palette. 2. Sounds would make game more fun. 3. Background and UI look blurry. 4. Nice physics but need polishing: sometimes you stand on air and block-monsters never really press buttons. 5. Good scrolling effect that divides levels on logical parts. 6. Buttons in "Esc" menu don't respond. 7. Buttons in main menu are very small in 4k resolution. 8. It is hard to get final capsule due to little space between block-monsters and platform: you move monsters away from buttons trying to reach capsule. 9. You cannot quit the game after finish using "Esc" button. 10. Sometimes first shy-monster in second level falls down and never pushes the button.
Some tips and conclusions: 1. Try to download your game and run it after upload. 2. Rate and comment other games to receive more ratings. 3. Sleep is important.
Try and gain experience. And be happy!
Interesting premise, good atmosphere, stylish graphics. Game need more events per square meter :)
Nice stylish graphics, music and sound effects. It is hard to attack enemy on top of you: you should walk left and right to attack and you can push two enemies on top and they get stuck, so you cannot attack them. Sprites need Z-ordering: you can stand on top of Queen :) Also, game needs more variety of enemies and more dynamics, especially at the beginning.
Nice idea of side-view platformer tower defense. Needs more dynamics and difficulty. You can complete waves from 3 up to about 6 without buying turrets/upgrades. After that you need to buy some turrets/upgrades and it is enough up to the end. Pixels with different sizes, rotation and subpixel position look strange. Looks like there is no way to quit the game but Alt+F4. Available positions for placing turrets are different on left and right sides: on right side of platforms turrets can be placed on air.
Nice simple game. Difficulty of wave 2 varies greatly: sometimes it is easy, sometime there are huge groups of firemen. It is not clear that you can use fire at first, so you can stuck on wave 3: helicopters are fast and sometimes appear out of view. After that level difficulty increases smoothly and is pretty same on wave 9 and final wave.
Good idea, atmospheric sound effects. Game is pretty GPU-intensive and have low framerate.
Nice idea of funny mini-games compilation, implementation needs polishing.
Some notes about my experience: 1. Size was surprising for Ludum Dare, not much surprising for UE4. 2. Game is random and challenging. Felt like dice game at the beginning. Skill matters a little but matters. 3. Chicken near the house made me think it is the only chicken to be protected. At first I thought that game would never start. 4. "game" and "lvl" timers are in different formats. 5. Music is epic :) 6. Light looks too bright. 7. It was not enough time to read messages before levels. 2 times longer would be great. 8. Gun on the ground near house never gives more ammo and breaks ammo counter. 9. Shadow from gun on the second floor is visible on the first floor. 10. Sometimes gun doesn't shoot when you press left mouse button. 11. I've accidentally pressed "Quit" button after some retries. 12. You can walk on the top of supermarket. 13. Sometimes timer never stops on "Foxes" level when you kill all the foxes. 14. Sometimes chicken is stuck on that level and second level never starts. 15. You can go out of map wandering around. 16. You can skip levels 2 - 4 going over the mountain and complete game after "Butcher" level jumping near final doorway in the supermarket. Don't know if this skip speedrun tactics was intended. 17. Sometimes second level starts twice and camera goes under ground.
I like the characters design and atmosphere. Level with crown and last level were pretty hard to complete due to no prior information about what to do.
Interesting reimagination of Tower Defense :) pretty fun to play. When there were much objects on screen - game started lagging.
Well made gameplay introduction levels, pretty challenging other levels - fun to play, nice audio and art style. Idea of how main character looks is not very clear :) He is dark to make flame more eye-catching, I think. He looks flat - that catches my eye in some way. Maybe lights and shadows like for traps would make him look more fitting?
Cool physics, fun to play :) if such a funny simplified graphics is not a main idea - polish graphics and game would became sweetie in a proper wrapper, in my humble opinion.
Stylish graphics, interesting gameplay. It would be nice to see more levels ;)
Music and animation are hypnotizing :)
Very nice game, catchy atmosphere, fun to play!

It was hard at first, but wow – a very interesting and satisfying puzzle! Nice graphics and audio, really well-done atmosphere. The sense of progress feels good, and the upgrade cards are clear. Awesome job!

Very atmospheric! Those massive creatures in the deep look truly terrifying! The music also does a great job of reinforcing the atmosphere.

I liked the graphics style! The paper-like characters combined with the lighting looks mesmerizing! Good entry!

Fun game! Had a good time playing. Randomly placing HUMPTY EGGs was consuming blocks — wanted to remove them, and it was pretty hard to figure out how to boost block gain, but manageable in the end xD Nice graphics and audio. Good job!
