Love the graphics, audio, and overall theme of the game. I agree with others that a tutorial would be nice.
I found the graphics to be stunning, I love anything that looks old school DOS. I had no issues with sound. I could see your inspiration was FTL and other types of games, but you had a unique take I haven't seen before. Excellent work.
Unique and weird game. It was confusing. Sounds made me laugh.
Loved the graphics and overall feel of the game. I had trouble understanding what to do at times. The game over screen is really sad.
Unfortunately, I couldn't get past the loading screen.
I loved your game, with its challenging gameplay and light humor it is a hit in my book!
I enjoyed playing your game, it was easy to pick up but hard to master. You had a unique idea for the deeper and deeper theme. I only made it to 4/7 as well.
I'm impressed with what you were able to do with the scratch language. I liked your intro animation and the shop graphics. I too could not get a pickaxe past $20
Reminds me of Forsaken 64! I loved it, played with headphones and it was so gross to hear the sounds. The ambient music also made the game creepy.
Great little game, reminds me of Conway's Game of Life. Very innovative and unique take on the Deeper and Deeper theme. Excellent work.
A challenging crafting game that made me paranoid about my fuel gauge lol. Loved the graphics and the overall mood, I hope you will expand on this game. Excellent work.
Love the look of the game, the story is quite eerie. I got the CaughtBySecurity ending. Played in full screen and it worked perfectly. I was shocked during the boxer scene and the flying lockers. Excellent work.
Excellent graphics and gameplay. Great intro to the controls while in game. A game that is easy to pick up but hard to master. Well done.
Loved this game! Addicting and super fun. You were also spot-on for the deeper and deeper theme. Its a game I'll return to. Excellent work.
Clever little game with a unique take on the Deeper and Deeper theme. The gameplay is simplistic but addictive once you get to the moving platform section. I liked the weird background and didn't find it distracting as some others did. Well done.
Stunning graphics, pleasant music, nerve-inducing sound effects and mechanics. Great choice of color palette. Definitely a game where you have to practice to get better at it. I want a mobile version of this, I feel like touch/swipe mechanics would work so well.
I first tried to play the HTML build of the game but the game's buttons were cut off. You may want to check your aspect ratio setting within Itch for this build because it was unplayable.
I played on Windows build and it worked perfectly. The game is really cool, great art and mechanics. I'd love it if you could add a keyboard button option to End Turn (such as Spacebar). Love the buzz sound on the Start menu when you hover over buttons, such a nice touch. Excellent work.
The art and music is phenomenal. The narrative was enjoyable. Loved the UI for the map. I beat the game twice and found no problems with playing the puzzle out of order. I'll be cryptic here to avoid spoilers, but I was confused why the magnet would trigger a certain event. The other items made sense to me; and I never did find a use for the watering can. I love point-and-click games, and I found yours to be very inspired in its design and storytelling.
Excellent take on the theme, loved the gameplay. Great graphics. There is a bug where pressing "Z" to restart is a loop back to the Game Over screen.
I loved the atmosphere of this game. Really fun take on the tower defense genre.
Excellent sound and graphics. I found the game to lag quite a bit on the HTML build in Firefox. The game has a nice concept that I hope you'll continue with.
Excellent art and UI design. I loved the combination of story, rhythm game, and arcade quality. I found the mechanics to be easy to pick up, but hard to master. This game is so polished, I hope you continue with it.
Tried the HTML and Windows versions. Cannot get past the start screen. Arrow keys and X did nothing.
Stunning graphics. I love the idea of having to protect earth's last remaining flower, that is such a unique idea. Having to juggle between jumping far and carrying is a really nice touch. Excellent job.
Loved the president and hospital graphics. The shooting mechanics were a little off for me, I had to shoot slightly above targets. The dialog was quite humorous and the game's premise was unique.
Score: 5775. Very addicting gameplay. Graphics and music were also pleasant. I felt that the batteries didn't come up often enough, so I died twice due to no batteries to collect. Great work.
Incredible execution. Loved the humor in the dialog. It was easy to learn the mechanics but hard to master, planning is key. I really wish there was a way to cancel my actions. The graphics and music are fantastic, beautiful game overall.
This is a good start to a game. The controls were a bit confusing at first but I eventually got the hang of it. Some of the UI was cut off. The music was nice and I liked the game's concept. I hope you continue working on it.
Love the art and the bouncing text. Some of the English is currently lost in translation. I have no idea what most of the tools were doing, but I really enjoyed the experience. I'm excited to see your team progress on this game, I think the game's concept is excellent.
I really enjoyed the simplistic graphics, especially your chosen colors and cursor. The sheep was very cute with pleasant sounds. The gameplay was as you said, easy to learn but hard to master. Excellent work.
Tamagotchi flashbacks, but at least I was able to keep TimTam alive longer than the old 90s virtual pets. I enjoyed the game, and you art too.
Not an easy game. Very innovative concept that requires you to plan and learn from your mistake. Great job!
Really impressive and fun. I have a feeling I'll come back to this one often. There was a problem where both were hibernating and something broke causing poison. When I hit the button to confirm I was still in Fast Forward and they died before I could hit the play button. Love the graphics and the music. Have you played "FTL: Faster Than Light", your game reminds me of that one, and it is a favorite of mine. Excellent work.
Score: 23300. So addicting, I loved the cute ducklings and was so mad at those hungry gnomes stealing them all! Excellent music, art, and sound design; the laugh was a great touch.
The gameplay was addicting. I wouldn't say I'm particularly good at this game haha, I kept missing the people when dashing. Loved the art and and the funny dialog.
I love rhythm games. Addicting, would love more levels (or patients). There is a crop in the UI as others have mentioned. Loved the simplicity of the sounds and the art was very nice.
This game is particularly good at simulating infection spread. I liked the simple graphics and the gameplay is addicting.
Very smooth controls with addicting gameplay. I can see myself returning to this one. The music and sound also fit very well with the overall feel of the game. I agree with others that the fox might do better with being more of a threat. Excellent work.
I loved Gilbert, he's so cute. I won in the first try, but it wasn't always easy. I got a few cards that took out a lot of Gil's happiness. This game was so relaxing with great sound work too.
Excellent gameplay, very tricky at times but addicting. The music is quite catchy and I love the art style and color scheme.
I seriously want more of this game. I love Slay the Spire, and I'd much rather play your game than BoI. Very addicting gameplay, simply yet catchy music, excellent character models, and smooth controls. Would like to see an increase in difficulty, I found it a bit too easy. Please continue to work on this game.
Such an addicting little game, reminded me of Sudoku with words. Great use of the jam's theme and I really like the color schemes you chose for when you get a new word. The UI was also very intuitive and the music was pleasant. Thanks for having the game save progress, since I'm currently stuck on level 24 haha.
Stunning game and amazing concept. The only other time I've seen a revealing box used was in Cyan World's educational game, "Spelunx and the Caves of Mr. Seudo". Your use of the revealing box combined with physics and animation is really genius. Loved the sound effects as you progress. Some of the levels where you control a box were a bit too easy, since I could complete them with only the box menu (no base or water needed). The color scheme was also very appealing. I really hope you continue with this game.
The mood and art style is phenomenal. The world really seemed alive in this game, and I cared about its characters. I felt badly about some of the things I was doing. Possible Bug: If you cook the poison mushroom *after* getting the flower for the wife, it replaces the flower for the wife. Eventually got to a point where I couldn't progress any further. One of the best of the jam I've played. Excellent work.
Very cool clicker where you can fail if you don't balance properly. Not sure if debt is calculating correctly. Is the word "Brive" a typo? Should it be "**Bribe** a jury" etc? Enjoyed the dialog and the bland color scheme (gray is my favorite color). The interface was flawless. Is the A game that is easy to start and harder to master. Great job!
I was very impressed with the graphics, mood, and music. Unfortunately I wasn't able to progress past the first knife-guy. Would love a hint to get past him. Also, couldn't interact with the silver/blue lights. Don't know what they do. Really want to play this game.
Update: The "Hold E to Interact" text does not show if playing the game in fullscreen. Was able to progress further. Excellent use of dialog and items. This game reminds me a bit of "American McGee's Alice" in terms of beautiful and creepy. Gameplay and story is very mysterious. Excellent work, one of my favorites of the jam.
This game is adorable. I felt bad for the piggy. Great graphics and sound. I would have preferred the dash to be mapped to a different button than W. Overall good game.
Loved the graphics. The controls were smooth. Gameplay was addicting but could be rather difficult due to screen death.
Very dark and sad. I enjoyed the hand drawn artwork and the music was fitting. I found myself very invested in the story. As others have commented, I too would love a sequel!
This game is a word of art. One of my favorites from this jam. The music was stunning, the gameplay relaxing, the graphics charming, and the best game over screen I've scene in a long while. I spent some time just drawing the sparkles on the game over screen. I wish I knew how you did that haha. Excellent work.
Suggestion: Please give your game's Itch page the title of "Little Odyssey" and a bit of a theme or screenshots because it looked a bit ominous to download.
Perfectly titled. A very unique puzzle game and a brilliant concept. Very relaxing, yet frustrating at times. Loved the graphics and the controls were perfect. Excellent work.
Whoa, this was trippy! You said we have a similar concept in the beginning, but your beginning is like the reverse and it is super cool! Love the graphics and sound. The ending scared the crap out of me. I think this concept was very unique and I hope you continue with it. I'd love to see additional levels.
Since you mentioned we had a similar theme with planets, I decided to give your game a go as well. While I found the game's objective to be difficult to figure out, I believe this game to be a true work of art. Lovely simple graphics, a unique concept, and peaceful sounds. One of the most memorable game's I've played during this jam. Excellent work.
I played the web version. I never really played any clicker games before, but this game is awesome and addicting. I thought it was a bug that the sheep kept leaving their pens, but this enticed me to click on them, *alot*, and I'm glad I did haha. Would like the option to destroy buildings and bridges over water. Addicting little game that I'm sure I'll come back to. Hope you continue to build on this one. Great job.
Really fun game, quite addicting. There is a bug with mouse controls. If you try to use the middle mouse button while moving, you'll permanently run in that direction until you hit the middle mouse button again. This made using the mouse impossible. I was able to win with using JKL for actions. Game was difficult but rewarding when I beat it. Great job. Note: Played the HTML version
Personally, I've never seen a game like this and I find it quite unique and enjoyable. The multiplayer aspect is really cool as well. The interface is very intuitive, no issues. Not sure if I missed them, but I would like to see some additional drawing tools added if you plan to keep working on this game. I also enjoyed the jokes at the bottom of the screen.
What can I say? I threw some fish at old ladies and shoplifted some clothes. Great game! Would run naked again.
The mysterious name alone made me want to play it. The game was such an experience. Very creepy atmosphere. The graphics and music work so well together, and the internal dialog made me feel connected to the world. I hope I beat it correctly because I wasn't really sure if I made a mistake in the puzzles. I got the same ending three times. One of my favorite games of the jam so far.
This was an addicting experience. Very unique puzzle game. I really liked the ominous drone background music. As a suggestions, some hints may help make the game more accessible. Love the graphics and it was very satisfying to win levels in this game.
... those poor poor cats. The pathing is excellent in this game. Great dialog and love the cyberpunk feel!
Very relaxing painting planets simulator. I thought the little mini game at the begining was also a clever start. I would suggest disabling the ability to paint when the cursor is hovering over buttons. I kept adding paint I didn't want when changing colors. Other than that, this was flawless execution.
First, let me say thank you for checkpoints. This game can be quite a challenge. The graphics are very fitting for the game's story and the music was enjoyable. The gameplay was slow at first, but the I realized it was because I was missing something. Great job.
Whoa, that took some strength to get that bar to full haha. Fantastic music, very relaxing. Its a bit difficult sometimes to place the terrain. I enjoyed meeting new characters. However, I ended up building to far and reaching the end of the game world. Still, a very relaxing and nice looking game.
Extremely fun and phenomenal idea. Some of the sounds I came up with were actually good, others... not so much. The execution is flawless.
Addicting game. Clever to start with 0 bullets. I enjoyed farming bullets and thought that enemies can also harm each other was very convenient. I had some real trouble on the boss level. Music was very catchy and liked that you used sprites of real people.
haha! You start with no clothes. That is genius. Very nice graphics, especially the backgrounds. Loved the item pickups. Great sound. Played through all three levels, nice balance of difficulty as you progress.
A very unique idea. Simple graphics. I was able to win on my second attempt. The game wasn't too easy or too hard. Kind of reminds me of Spy vs Spy for some reason. I thought the voice acting was very well done.

Amazing in every way. Fine art with excellent mechanics. The shredding sound effects are great.
Shattering Star by Emty 2022-10-04T11:26:15Z ♥ 3
This first-person puzzle was enjoyable. I found myself requiring consideration of both space and time! Very complex 3D game for such a short period.

Simple to learn yet difficult to master, tough but a lot of fun.

It has a really good ambiance, and I can see that a lot of effort has gone into it. Excellent work.

Excellent mini games. I did something similar in my game. Love the UI that you created, retro is best for me.
