Great work on the art! I didn't realize I could double jump for a while. I got stuck in a corner on the 3rd or 4th area and could not escape. The gravity idea is interesting.
The art style is cool. I can't make it to the city or the forest, kept getting hit by the bus. Great job!
Nice! I beat all 7 levels and got decent scores. Great work, I don't really have anything to complain about. The leaderboard was a great addition and kept me wanting to retry.
I really enjoyed this. Great work on the upgrades and pacing of difficulty. Audio would make it feel 100 times better. Good work on some of the art.
Nice, I liked how the branches work and the sounds the squirrel would make. It was very difficult. I am amazed someone got 57. The birds feel random, an audio/visual cue would be helpful.
Great work on the title screen!
Great work on the art and audio. I wasn't sure if I died in one hit or not. It seems like there is invisible health. I would add some visual cue for damage if that is the case. I also think it would be better if the difficulty start easier and ramped up as players get their bearings. Great job!
Great work on the art style! I got pretty far I think, but I agree some more visual cues would've been helpful. I love the concept and find it very interesting. I gave you a follow on itch.io. I look forward to a potential update. Good luck!
Good effort! The resolution was a bit blurry for me.
I think you did great with the mechanics. I am glad you implemented a teleport/checkpoint feature with the portals. I got stuck on the second box area. I threw the box in the spikes and I could not pick it back up. You have a knack for progression design, I think you should keep experimenting with ideas for a game like this.
Great work! I love the title screen art. I was able to beat it on my third attempt. It was interesting to see how the character changed based on the choices in the beginning. However, it would've been neat to make some more decisions, but great job with the time you had!
Fun! Great job with the level titles and matching them with the gameplay. I enjoy games that layers new mechanics. I enjoyed the speed boost in level 3, but I keep exploding on the 4th carrot. The speed in the first 2 levels could be faster.
I also had resolution issues, but I am currently using a 4k display which could be why. Great work on the enemy design and the colors. The projectiles were challenging and I liked how varied the enemies are.
You nailed the creepy atmosphere. Great work on the art, especially the CRT effect. The questions were cool.
Wave 1 is a bit too hard. It took several attempts to kill the 3 zombies. I would give the player 5-10 seconds to situate themselves and play with the controls. Once I got the sniper, it got way easier. I would also shrink the attack range. It is easy to get stuck and destroyed in seconds. I would add a particle effect to the note at the end of each round, and show a text overlay with the control to activate it.
Good effort!
The music set the mode very well and the graphics were great for the game. I found myself retrying the game until I won, I may even come back to this to try and beat it with higher health. Would definately come back if it had more levels, have you ever though of adding an upgrade system? I think it would go well with the game.
I liked it, the puzzles didnt feel all that challenging as I ended up finding the notes and completing it on the second try. The game fits with the them and if there were more to do then I would definately play again.
Game looks great, sets a good mood and I even avoided a meltdown with one second to spare. This game truly had me on the edge of my seat. The puzzles were fun and enjoyable and it fit well with the theme.
Neat idea. I liked the zoom out effect and the use of the particles for the vortex. The highest score I got was 20. I found that I didn't need to use CTRL to progress. Space was enough. I recommend changing the enter key to 'Space' so its easier to jump back into the game.
Nice work, I love resource and crafting games.
At first I didn't know the control pop ups where tutorials. I thought they were apart of the map. Once I figured that out I was able to start building and collecting resources. I had to do some guesswork to figure out the machines. Great work putting this together.
I love the pixel art and audio. I like how it picks up speed. I think the explosions could be a bit bigger, I found that I shot them on accident consistently. When I tried to use them, they didn't do very much. Occasionally I was able to take out a few with one. I like the variety of enemies. The screenshake was a nice effect. Great job!

haha I love the idea of avoiding as scrubbin'. Great work! I think a trail color / material would make it easier to see where the edge is on the path. Overall, I thought the environment was well made.

The cops doing wheelies made me laugh. Great stuff xD The game feels really smooth. The tape can be hard to get if you keep smashing cops with jump. I had a lot of fun!

Nice work on the art and cat noises :) I enjoyed the cinematic. Cute game!
I don't think I was able to repair anything. Is there a way to repair broken furniture, or can you only repair things before they break? I was mostly trying to figure out what spell works best for each cat. I think it would've been cool if each cat showed an emoticon after applying a spell to them.

Fantastic idea for 'delay the inevitable' :)
The game picked up fast and I found myself frantically skim reading the posts. I really enjoyed the different chat group themes and the writing for each. It's really punishing if you don't immediately slap someone, or maybe I just need to git gud.

Awesome work! I destroyed an entire forest to save my son. I really loved the exploration aspect to the game. The fact that I had to find an axe to chop down a tree in order to build a bridge to find a radio was pretty cool. There was a good amount of tension as well. Great work on the audio and art. Extra points for writing dialogue and letting the player choose the name of the father and son :)
It would've been cool to see the rangers show up in person before cutting to the dialogue, but that is a minor detail.

Great job on your first game jam submission :)
I think the jump + dash could be more powerful. I tried to use it to get over some of the double spike traps but died. This may just be personal preference, but I think dash could be on another button like 'shift' or 'E'. I kept tapping space to jump. I've seen some games use W and space to trigger jump.
