Good dungeon crawler atmosphere, I did explore most of the cavern and destroyed most of the monsters before the final room with the cat. I wonder if in another version you would add stat tracking for monsters destroyed, floating combat for damage dealt, and a victory screen when the mail is delivered (maybe make the enemies disappear too when you win).
the little cap bouncing on the player hero was a nice touch, and all the sprites + their AI seemed all different and unique!
I like this take on delivery! Only three choices, but there is a timer so you have to think quick on your feet. I really like the quiz-approach to this game, wouldn't of thought to use pre-existing geography knowledge as a core gameplay mechanic. Very cool! - 78 for the score :D
This was a fun deck-builder take on the delivery genre. Reminds me a lot of a delivery themed Slay The Spire! Awesome job!
nice artwork and humor, the intro was very amusing. when you press F5 then you REALLY know this game goes deep.
love the glitchiness unexpected factor in this game
TD's are one of my favorite genres! On my second run I discorved you could stack towers in this game, it really made holding out feasable for me for several waves of purple minons had about 12 energy spare with 7 towers up at my peak. and then the inevitable... (tower stacking reminds me of of school starcraft or warcraft3 custom maps with lights on/off which allows to toggle fog of war to trick the game into placing the structure on an already built tile) was so much fun!
this game has so much potential given it's current complexity and nuance involved in the crafting. really good baseline for a survival, crafting, gathering and exploration game
simple concept, but goes sooo far. really like the way the bullet is the main mechanic of the game avoid baddies chase bullets to collect so you can reload. line them up when you can and go for the piercing shots.
really love this old school top down GTA2 or Alien Phobia type vibe but mixed with the classic concept of a gunslinger and time-slow mechanics similar to SUPERHOT. wonderful!
I enjoyed easing into the setting. The unique combination of mechanics and it does invoke the theme well. This is a cool hybrid game style that is really fun!
woo 3101 saved!
this was pretty fun after a few runs and figuring out what the deck contained and what combos I could do.
if the enemies had a red tinge vs. the gray background i would of immediately been able to distinguish the two sides. it took a bit of reading after a positive information overload. this is totally my style of game!
fun game, took me a second to figure out how to micro my character to swipe 2 enemies at once. i quickly learned to avoid the armored generals until i'm stronger.
had a lot of fun, awesome work has a good basis to go off of
was a little bit creepy at first, but the humor eased me and I found it pretty enjoyable.
the art aesthetic is 100%!!! very unique and eye catching
fun tower defense, i liked the double power increase glowing effect. i haven't seen the ranged based pricing which was cool to see.
incentives making far away towers and upgrading them rather than clustering bunch of low cost towers in a group :D
this was a curious game, i saw rougelike so I was definitely in from the get go for replayablity which this game has. the concept of knowledge next revealed after the inevitable makes sense
good for those who like puzzly crafting
this reminds me of a really really old school game I used to play called Alien Phobia (on like DOS or something), was a huge nostalgic trip back to that game for me
awesome! btw the theming for the itch.io page matches really well
the 2d enemy rotation in the 3d player world is pretty trippy especially with the black and white art. gives me old school doom and wolfenstein vibes but combined with a quick draw iaido single slice sword attack dash. this is really fun!
took me a second to double jump but after that kept going up and up and juggling between enemies or platforms depending on what maneuver i needed to take
i counted 8 physical steps in the animation :D
for 9 hours it's a good concept to go off of, the interactable are there and I could feel this becoming like a point+click adventure but with some real-time moments
for the time constraint i think this is solid!
relatable after seeing plants perish, i did like the multitasking aspect. i tried to stay to a quadrant or two so I could accumulate upgrades overtime. I liked how many things you needed to be doing all at once, stressful in a good way
+1 for the nostalgia, very cute baking simulator - fair amount of recipes and impressed that the whole baking process could be codified and visualized this way
really impressed by the graphics on this one, liked the retro old-school sim-like tile placement for the ramps and vehicles.
was a bit confusing at first, but after seeing the first avalanche things were more clear
I really liked the take on the theme, making dinosaurs prevent the inevitable asteroid collision!
fun tower defense, enjoyed the auto-mining aspect of the game too
this game definitely hits the nail on the head for theme. the minimalistic but easy on the eye artstyle was pleasing to look at. the audio design was a knock out of the park too, it seems like spatially aware audio and hearing the patients and alarms go off all at once got suuuuper chaotic, which really sells the overworked part in the title of the game. great submission!
was able to get to escape attempt 10! would be great to see high score of all time persist through runs
Awesome entry the amount of permutations and randomness was quite fun!

A game inspired by Slay the Spire
straightforward interpretation! I enjoyed this game, it almost felt like a rhythm game towards the end with the timing being so close to allow for hitting all the stables that spawn. nice!
reminds me of reigns, very fun gameplay and I enjoyed the aesthetic!
this definitely shows the unstability of the patients, control scheme fits the theme as well :D
planet variety was nice to see. menu design simple and intuitive, graphic direction was awesome

The paper craft style of your art assets are amazing. This feels like moving around using handmade scenery, so awesome!
Sorcerer's Army of Summons by Rendow 2024-04-19T22:35:37Z ♥ 2
Fun Vampire Survivors like, gives me more of a roguelike tile base movement or a tactics game feel which I enjoy. Having armies of various goblins and skeletons are great.
Really hits the summoning theme, really awesome models and music that tie in for the well done jam game!
For future content would be nice to get to the status quo for xp crystal types and getting more abilities or passives. Really good base system that could be expanded on for a great game! Good job!
SaaS :: Summoning as a Service by HolySparks 2024-04-19T22:23:26Z ♥ 4
Really amazing art in this entry, really felt like a summoning from the dialogue scene and the game scene with the ritual circle.
The older school cell phone and the clipboard were nice touches to give a more analog feel. Well put together for the jam, solid entry here that gets the point across in several different ways.

Day 2 got pretty tricky, a lot of multitasking! Creative and funny idea, reminded me a bit of an old arcade game.
Snack Summoner by Air Dinghy 2024-04-17T06:08:02Z ♥ 1
Enjoyed this game, really like the cutesy vibe of various fruit and desserts. The actual ritual and summoning circle and accompanying sounds really hit the summoning theme very well imo. Awesome job!

I really enjoyed this gameplay a really cool take a 2D Hero Army manager, more tactical slower paced Dynasty Warriors. I wish the hero could be upgraded more to try a maybe hero-only run with combat magic or fighting skills. Or maybe go more support aura and effects that boost your army units.
I was play around with hotkeys and found what I assume give exp, give a army upgrade, give a treasure chest reward. Great game!!
Keyboard Summoner by Andreas Roschal 2024-04-16T22:44:14Z ♥ 2
Really enjoyed the keyboard mechanics needed to play the game. Really reminded me of helldiver stratagems or old school cheat codes that would require directional input.
Great concept reminded me of a old school flash tower defense in a way. This was a great experience!!
🐑 S.H.E.E.P - Sheep Hell Emissaries, Eradicate Purity 🐑 by Shenoit 2024-04-16T21:07:58Z ♥ 6
Really fun concept, good art seeing the various sheep types and I really thought it was a nice touch to have a wolf creature lead the pack. Power ups feel good and then the gates you choose to increase/decrease your herd is a good decisive way to play the game and steer left or right.
