Nice game. The flat characters is a concept I haven't seen before. Runs smooth. Thanks for making it.

Nice game. The flat characters is a concept I haven't seen before. Runs smooth. Thanks for making it.
Clever game. Nice work.
I especially enjoyed the background music :)
I enjoyed your game. I liked the random nature of each day. Made consecutive play throughs feel different. I only had an issue with the fact that you could run out of cannonballs mid fight and have no option than to just let the other ship kill you. Nice work on the game though.
Great work on this game. Really enjoyed my play through. Only issue I had was that I could not use down+left or down+right and jump at the same time (could just be a limitation of the web version). Made it annoying trying to make some jumps. Other than that, it was well developed.
I enjoyed your concept and gameplay. Runs smooth, nice work.
Bang on theme! Good for a laugh. Nice job.
I enjoyed this game. The soul replacing system was clever and the bosses were challenging. Nice work.
Great game. Best I've played so far. Nailed the theme and upgrades were fun.
I enjoyed using the spells. As others have said the melee wasn't as satisfying. Good job, had fun.
Fun little game. Enjoyed the art style and color mechanics.
I enjoyed playing this game. It was quite relaxing jumping around collecting the coins and then trying to get a good exchange rate was a nice game between games. I think if there could have been another place to spend my coins such as upgrades or something, I would have played longer. Good job.
Pretty funny game. I enjoyed "stabbidy stab stabbing" my way around the forest :)
Fun game. Kept me playing till I finished it. As others have said a background texture for movement reference would have been great. Nice job on creating an enjoyable play through.
Great game. Really enjoyed playing through it. Only thing that was slightly annoying was that you had to take your hands off the keyboard to click ok on chat boxes and use the menus. Lots of effort went into this and it shows. Good job!
I thought the visibility mechanic was a little harsh and detracted from the game a bit. I started off not being able to see much and then it got worse with each mushroom until it suddenly cleared right before I hit the tower and it said I won. Didn't really get to appreciate the level with full vision. Controls felt really good though and I did enjoy the audio. Cheers.
Really enjoyed the game. Finding the guns and combining the colors felt great. I did get stuck about half-way through inside of a rock though, so couldn't continue to the end.

Interesting concept. I struggled a bit trying to remember all the things I had to find at once, and then got stuck in the door that had the Barbecue, it would not let me reveal it. Nice effort and could work with some refinement.
Great concept. Really enjoyed trying the different combinations to get to the end. Well thought out and charming little game. Well done.
Good entry. I really liked the UI when at the terminals, but moving between them was a little awkward. Definitely a good basis to refine and expand. Cheers.
I thought it was a nice little game. The educational intro was a good idea, and the art style was nice. As others have mentioned, having some way to know if you are on the correct course to collide with the other cells would be nice. I enjoyed it. Well done!
I had a lot of trouble controlling Jim. He's a bit of a stubborn fellow when it comes to jumping over the water. I liked the premise of the game, but couldn't get past the unresponsive controls. Good effort.
Great game. Clever use of the theme and interesting gameplay mechanics. Well done.
I liked the art style. Controls felt a little off and I wasn't able to attack at the end using the E key. Good work though.
Great game. Well thought out concept and interesting game-play mechanics. Well done.
Thanks for the feedback guys. @mikethehuman @ditam I've updated the web version so hopefully it now scales with your browser resolution and displays it all :)
Brings back memories of playing wow and trying to snipe auctions at the last moment haha. Good job. As others have mentioned the only annoyance I had was the list jumping at in-opportune moments. Thanks for the fun!
Good game. Felt smooth and enjoyable. Only issue was it took a while to reap the necessary souls to start building things.
Loved the environment artwork. Gameplay became a bit repetitive quickly, but still a good effort for the time. Graphics really kept me playing longer, just so I could appreciate them more. Great work.
Great game. My favourite so far. Loved the graphics and audio. The ominous darkening of the area around your character gave me a great sense of anxiety and impending doom. I managed to finish it after about 15 minutes of slowly exploring more and more. Well done!
Not normally my kind of game, but it was well written and the game responded nicely to my inputs. Well done.
The name drew me in and I enjoyed the story as I was playing. The enemies were good, however I felt it was a bit slow to progress through the story/game. There seemed to be long pauses of no action or dialogue. Great effort though.
Great job, really enjoyed playing this. The music and visuals combined nicely to create an eerie, otherworldly feeling. The gameplay was interesting enough to keep me going to the end. Nice work!
Really enjoyed this. Thought the art style was interesting and the game idea was clever. Good work!
Challenging little game. Took a while to memorize what key controlled what spray. Good job. Thanks for the game.
That was a very unique experience. I haven't played something like that before. Good job. I had a bit of trouble with the wall jumping and actually getting up certain parts. I could not get past the one where you had to kick it through the 2 rows of spikes to hit the button and then wall jump back up. Great entry though. Thanks for the game!
Great job guys. The most polished game I have played in this Jam. Everything worked very well. Thanks for the game.
Fun little game. Chaotic once you get a lot of gnomes on the screen. Good job. Thanks for the game.
Really nice graphics and unique gameplay. As others have said it was quite hard haha. Nice job. Thanks for the game.
Very nice artwork. I'm not a huge fan of clicker games, but it was short enough for me to experience the full story, which was well written and voiced. Thanks for the game.
Very enjoyable platformer. The atmosphere was great. Nice entry. Thanks for the game!
Great game. I loved the cardboard cutout play style of the art. The sound was great. I'll be singing that tune as I go to sleep tonight though haha. Great entry. Thanks for the game.
Great game. Finished it through and found it enjoyable. The 5 minute timer was stressing me out towards the end, but I managed to get the last peice of evidence in time haha. Thanks for the game.
Very nice. No issues with my playthrough, really enjoyed it. Good job. I liked that I had to manually unpause the game at the start as it gave me time to investigate the UI and figure things out before the mayhem started :) Thanks for the game.
Great entry. It took me a couple of goes to figure out what each building did and determine a strategy that worked. Some more indication of how each building shoots would be a nice to have. The random level generation was a great addition. Thanks for the game.
I had trouble controlling my sausage haha. Laser burnt me in the end. Thanks for the game!
Good job with the art and animations. Simple gameplay, but the semi-3d world was interesting to move around on. Thanks for the game.
Great game. I couldn't stop playing. Level 14 is very punishing. All the levels are tuned to perfection, well done. Thanks for the game.
Really great entry. Everything looks really polished. Fun game. The only thing was I had no indication of when he would starve (I didn't have that green bar like in your screenshot if that's what that was for). Other than that it was very enjoyable. Well done guys. Thanks for the game.
Nice entry. Generates a lot of panic as the decay per second timer goes up haha. Thanks for the game.
Nice Graphics. Trying to "Keep it alive" was stressful haha. Thanks for the game.
Artwork is very nice. I struggled a bit with the controls, trying to get him to jump or climb when I wanted. Thanks for the game.
As others have said, it was a bit confusing as to what was causing my crops to die and some kind of indicator as to what I was doing wrong would be good. I like the graphics and story. Thanks for the game.
Nice little strategy game. Only thing I found was that the AI didn't seem to make the appropriate moves to offer a challenge. Thanks for the game.
Fun game. Very polished. Only suggestion would be something to indicate when your paddle is going to go back to small after activating the big paddle as I often lost balls because of that transition. Otherwise really enjoyable. Thanks for the game.
Really takes me back to some old dos games I used to play. Great job, I had a lot of fun playing it. Thanks for the game.
This feels like me working at home at the moment ahaha. Thanks for the game.
Cute game. Those are some serious speed and acceleration upgrades! Haha. Thanks for the game!
Very nice game. Really polished and well thought out. One of the best games I've played this Jam. Thanks for the game!
Great work. Very imaginative use of the theme and could see this being in a larger game that I would play for longer. Thanks for the game!
Great little game. Clever use of the theme and the controls felt great. Well done. Thanks for the game!
Challenging little game. I appreciated the Mad Max references and thought you did a good job with the 3D wheel effect. Thanks for the game!
Great job guys. Really gets the brain going trying to keep track of where to pick everything up and time it right. I don't have anything bad to say about it. Thanks for the game!
I loved the simplistic art style and humour injected into this game. I was entertained. Thanks for the game.
Really great game. Clever puzzle design, background music was pleasant to listen to while playing. You managed to have a very polished game in a short amount of time. Well done. Thanks for the game!
Good job. Kept me playing till the end. Interesting mechanics. Thanks for the game!
Really interesting puzzle game. I couldn't work out how to get any value from the visuals to the right other than to grab the boot when it showed up and to make the little guy go cross-eyed :) Thanks for the game!
Nice artwork, well made. Feels depressingly similar to my life ;) Thanks for the game!
Fun little game. It seemed that some seeds had colliders on them and others didn't, not sure if on purpose. I also spent most of my time at the bottom of the wheel as I could just quickly jump up and get the golden seed and then hang out in safety at the bottom. Thanks for the game!
Interesting concept. The graphics and theme were really nice. I was just a little confused trying to figure out if I had to hit the targets and make them a certain color to unlock the track. I just kept shooting them all until they disappeared which appears was the goal. The quit menu item didn't work for me and also the itch.io link appears to be broken. Thanks for the game!
Great game. Felt really nice to play, and its a clever use of the theme. I would make shoot left-click though, as it seems a bit strange spamming right-click only. Thanks for the game!
Really enjoyed playing this. Good work. I agree that falling off being instant game over is a bit harsh. Thanks for the game!
Nice take on a tower defense game. I enjoyed playing it. The background image change when going into settings was a nice touch ;)
Fun little game. Great atmosphere. Well done! Thanks for making this.
Great entry! You really nailed the atmosphere of being in the ocean depths. I felt cold and alone and then bam...shark attack. I just had a bit of trouble figuring out that the black circles were coins at the start and that my money didn't go up until I surfaced. Great work with the art and creating a diverse and interesting environment. Thanks for the game!
Good job, simple but enjoyable. Thanks for the game!
Really enjoyed playing through this. I agree with the comments about the movement, strafing would have made it much smoother. Thanks for making this!
Love the concept and graphics. I found it very challenging to play.
Great atmosphere and game concept. Art style and level design was really good. Thanks for the game!
Great mood and atmosphere. I'm assuming I made it to the end, my plane crashed in a cinematic after the lightning area. I enjoyed playing through it. Thanks for the game.
Great entry. Really enjoyed this game. I found that certain situations called for the different jump strengths so that mechanic worked really well. Thanks for the game!
Fun little game with an important message. I would have liked to see my final score on the game over screen as often I was too busy dodging to look while playing. Thanks for the game.
Nice entry. The final boss felt like it went a bit long with no indication of when it would end or any different phases, but I enjoyed it. Thanks for the game!
Very nice visuals. Unfortunately, I also couldn't really figure out what I was supposed to do.
Thanks for the game. Looks really nice. I too got a little frustrated when I got stuck on the kelp.
Really cool entry. Very unique. Thanks for the game.
Nice job. A few visual glitches here and there, but it was a really cool vibe and interesting concept
Fun little game and clever use of constellations. Good job!
Fun game, reminded me of a board game I play with my son called Labyrinth. Was really cool to play something similar digitally. Nice job!
Funny game, good job!
Very good entry. Well polished and hits all categories nicely!
Great start to a game. Very addictive and really on theme!
haha, funny game. Really interesting idea and well executed. Was fun trying to time a big run of correct swings. Nice work!
Great looking game, very atmospheric
haha, great game. Simple idea, well executed!
Really liked the music and atmosphere. Great use of the theme. As the last person mentioned it also reminded me of ‘Lovers in a dangerous spacetime’ which is a really interesting concept. Nice job!
Interesting concept and good atmosphere. The platforming/time allowed was pretty unforgiving though. Nice one
Really well done, had me exploring for a long time. Super atmospheric and creepy. The only thing I found was I didn't really need to do the fast reeling mechanic timing minigame very often, it seemed to be too fast anyway. Otherwise great job!
Nice job, managed to finish it. Super creepy forest and vibe which was really well done. I found the sprint sometimes worked and sometimes didn't and it was a bit hard to tell if the big bad was in the same layer as you. Great work though!
Funny game, was a bit tedious picking up coins, but good job on the atmosphere!
Great atmosphere. Took a few plays to get a handle on the controls, but really enjoyed it once I did.
Beautiful artwork and really clever gameplay. Had a lot of fun with it!
Fun game, atmosphere was great. Interesting mechanic, maybe just needed a little more difficulty to add some replay value. Good job!
Not sure if I was doing something wrong, but as soon as I arrived at the destination, I could not move the camera and no keypresses seemed to do anything. Had to alt-f4 out of it. Shame, cause the art was really good and it sounds like an interesting idea.
Fun little strategy game. I too encountered the UI Bug so could only turn left and right
