Love typing games! This was fun, some control over difficulty would be ideal!
Those. Level. Transitions.
Ooo, interesting idea here! Took a bit of trial and error to figure out how to use the space bar ability, but once I figured it out the puzzles were unique and fun to work through!
All moves very slow, and having to move back and forth in some cases to move your previous selves around felt a little bit punishing.
Overall a great entry, keep it up!
This is phenomenal. Would love a full version, this whole idea is so innovative and incredible. Different ships with different time signatures, upgrading weapons? Love it, my fav so far.
This is absolutely **gorgeous**!!!
The atmosphere, the music, the writing. Beautiful! I prefer emotional over mechanically impressive, and I'm glad to have found another jammer that targetted that area!
Brings back memories of the end of Little Inferno <3
Brilliant stuff! Movement feels well put together, dodging is great!
Would love some progression for the player, new attacks, powerups or something to use to your advantage
Liked the atmosphere, really like the core mechanic! One thing I struggled with was figuring out which way to go after respawning at a checkpoint, some sort of signposting (maybe a light moving in the direction you're heading or something) would help a load! Overall, a fun entry, would love to see this kind of thing expanded on with more time!
Hilarious, amazing way to use the theme!
559 seconds!
Loved this, near enough a fully realised game! The art is great, the premise is brilliant (amazing interpretation of the theme)
Once you fill the screen it becomes somewhat of a grind to the end, as others have mentioned, a lose condition would be a great addition!
The aesthetic here is brilliant! Would have loved some sound to be included.
Really gave me some zelda lost woods vibes!
Really likes this game, the look of it is great, atmosphere added a whole loada suspense too!
One thing I think would really improve the experience: since it's not directly top down, some hitbox adjustments would help make the world traversable (top of the player can move through tree hitboxes, etc to make it look like you move in front)
Just played this to completion! A really fun concept (although I'm a huge fan of puzzle games and spent most of the time hoping for more door unlock minigames). Gameplay was original!
Some of the music went a bit strange at the end (I think the boss music was overlapping with the level music). Would love to see a more polished version made in more than 3 days <3
Controls feel good, shooting is great. I like the shattering effects throughout. Some tool tips or something would be great to give some guidance as first glance was a little confusing! Overall a good entry! <3
Phenomenal! Font made some of the symbols hard to identify at speed, not sure if that was intended for difficulty, if so, makes total sense lol!
This is the best application of the theme I've seen so far!
Love the pressure this puts on you! Really well put together, reminds me of old flash escape rooms!
Quite a confusing game, it kept ending and making me choose a ship despite not being hit (I assume I must have to protect my team mates too?)
Would love to see it with some tutorial and clearer controls! Love the sound design!
Love the whole spin/wash system, brilliant work and well implemented! Game was simple, fun and funny!
Character controls felt a bit sticky at times, mostly the jump, but other than that, was great!
Ship jumping between nodes gave me FTL nostalgia! Love the idea, would love to see more options for what you can do on the planets. Music and art are great, but some of the more minor sound effects were slightly jarring volume-wise compared to the soft atmospheric music.
Loved the whole mood behind the game. Crafting was a bit ambiguous, wasn't toooo sure what I was making at times, love the concept, would love to see a fully realised version some day!
Brilliant stuff! Controls feel a little slidy at times, but other than that, I think this is my favourite so far from this jam <3
*I can't get enough of those trees*
This is great, love the switch up from a standard galaga/space invaders arcade shooter. I'm terrible, but I do really like the challenge aspect of it. Controls are a bit awkward, but I honestly can't think of a better button layout myself lol
Honestly love this. Feels impactful when you manage to hit the balls, love the challenge! Difficult enough to not last forever, that's a plus!!
Timing for hitting was a bit of a struggle to figure out at times!
This is sick, the whole concept is great! First few puzzles got a bit repetitive, may want to introduce some more elements slightly quicker, and then expand upon them! Other than that, love it <3
Really like this! Some of the collissions are hard to predict (i found myself bouncing off certain things) and the star collect sound is a bit jarring, but love the use of the loop, brilliant application of the theme!

Leapo Froggo by zwartraider 2024-10-12T12:02:46Z ♥ 1
Leaderboards are super fun for jam games - this one was a great entry. Love the frog
PLEASE, GNOMORE by CyTheRabbit 2024-10-12T11:59:39Z ♥ 1
Love it - gnome-themed pikmin! Walking sounds were the highlight of this jam
Critter Cannon by Stefan B. 2024-10-12T11:57:06Z ♥ 4
This was fun - unfortunately got stuck when I had a pile of creatures blocking the trampolines and was also freezing my browser occassionally. I do agree with above and think some of the assets look AI generated, which is less ideal, but gameplay is fine.
Carrot Patch by Historymaker118 2024-10-08T17:10:33Z ♥ 1
Very cute, very fun. The purple and grey weren't the most colourblind friendly - couldn't quite tell the difference and wasn't sure why my controls were inverting til I re-read the instructions. Great game apart from that though!!
Blobbies by tuism 2024-10-08T17:06:23Z ♥ 1
Like if world of goo was destructive instead of constructive 😅
Not the most colourblind friendly, but since moves aren't limited, I could trial and error the ones I had trouble with!
TINY PACK by xk_the_name 2024-10-08T17:01:29Z ♥ 1
Very cute! Full-on Dicey Dungeons vibes. Not sure I actually have any constructive feedback for this, it's just great!
Snow Flipper by nevercade 2024-10-08T16:56:27Z ♥ 1
Very cute penguin. Controls really nicely too.
Struggled with fishing on the left-side water - not sure if I was meant to be able to fish there, but clicking didn't work, but no issue other than that.
The Pasture by Fis 2024-10-08T16:52:07Z ♥ 2
This is gorgeous. Kept getting rabbits wanting veggies that I didn't have available, so a way to deal with/prevent that would be great, but otherwise this'd make a great little phone game!
Paper War by NAKS 2024-10-08T16:43:58Z ♥ 0
Didn't 100% understand how to play, so some more instructions would've been great - after upgrading, my soldiers seemed to win the game by themselves. Looks great, nice animations. Reminded me a lil bit of Age of War.
Slimeow Game by Quan Ran 2024-10-08T16:40:07Z ♥ 3
Enjoyed this, but it sits somewhere on the boundary between idle game and tower defence. Maybe a bit too slow in the beginning, but fun nonetheless. Plus the art is great!
Duck Rescue Patrol by rkhadder 2024-10-08T16:28:26Z ♥ 1
Love ducks, so this is cute as hell. Not sure the level summary was working correctly as after losing some ducks to a drain (oops) the overlay didn't seem to show the correct numbers saved etc. Other than that, this would be a great puzzle game!
Cheer Pinball by hakimallazi 2024-10-08T16:25:38Z ♥ 0
Fun - love a pinball game!
I do think the flippers move a little slow, and often just end up catching the ball as they come back down. Also could definitely lean into the theme a little more - maybe some textures on the board to theme it or something similar. A great effort overall though!
Flea Patrol by Sviborg 2024-10-08T16:21:04Z ♥ 1
Great game. The concept is perfect, but the controls were frustrating at times and it didn't quite feel like I had much control over the fleas. Loved the hand drawn art - really nice aesthetic.
Tiny Territories by Willby 2024-10-08T16:11:49Z ♥ 2
Really enjoyed this - a chill lil game, very cute. Had to trial and error sometimes because the dots/moods of the animals didn't quite make sense to me.
A Moving Service by Irene02 2024-10-08T16:04:15Z ♥ 3
Took me ages to get my first one, but rewarding when I finally did 💪 With some physics tweaks it could be a great QWOP/Getting Over It styled rage game.
Wink and the Fae by Pious 2024-10-08T16:00:54Z ♥ 3
Absolutely loved the sound when returning loads of lil friends at once. Really satisfying little game. Would be nice to have some more difficulty/powerups or something to keep it entertaining with replays.
Lint by turturi 2024-10-08T15:06:20Z ♥ 1
Cute, full of character, and fun to play - a full hand.
Camera occassionaly popped up to high to see the platform I was jumping to, which made it quite difficult, but no complaints apart from that.
DR.SPIDER by Michael Li 2024-10-08T14:53:33Z ♥ 2
Fun! I think it could be improved if right click was removed completely, and the mouse was just used to target - particularly for laptop trackpad play (I played this on my work laptop 😅).
Frame Wizards 2 by AlezJL 2024-10-08T14:48:21Z ♥ 1
Cool concept, but difficult to organise the screen since things can't be moved after being placed so it got a bit messy/chaotic!
Solo Hamstering by purplexy 2024-10-08T12:32:04Z ♥ 2
Great aesthetic - any game that lets you shit is a winner
Tiny Brigades by nataku92 2024-10-08T01:42:02Z ♥ 2
This goes so hard. Didn't quite understand what 'playing a brigade' did without using it, instructions leave it a bit vague, but once you get your head around it, it's sick
Honey for the Winter by adjo 2024-10-07T22:39:48Z ♥ 1
This was great, although occassionally hit a *bug* 🐝 that sent me in a specific direction, so I'd die. Other than that, it was a super creative idea
Shrink & Slime by Xwilarg 2024-10-07T22:35:57Z ♥ 2
Love the setting of this. Big PS1 Toy Story vibes
Cheddalier by outstar 2024-10-07T20:50:25Z ♥ 3
Maybe one of the best Jam games I've ever played. Would absolutely buy a fully fleshed out version of this. Dicey Dungeons (and maybe a bit of Backpack Hero) kinda vibes.
Edit - just finished it, had a strat that kinda *cheesed* it, but with some balancing it could be sick!
Squirrel puncher by eerongal 2024-10-07T20:38:25Z ♥ 2
A fun time - boss fight was genuinely sick, but couldn't figure out what the powerups were specifically doing 😅
