Very cute game with a nice message! I must say I found the minigames a bit repetitive and uninteresting after a while, the narrative had a much stronger draw for me!

Very cute game with a nice message! I must say I found the minigames a bit repetitive and uninteresting after a while, the narrative had a much stronger draw for me!
I played your previous ld entry too, which was wonderful, and you continue to create these great, disturbing and monochrome worlds, where my character always feels out of place, destined to break out of this doomed world. Goes without saying, wonderful atmosphere and mood, you absolutely deserve to win at least in that category! The ruined buildings in the background, the rain, the sound effects... everything is perfect!
Graphics might not be everyone's jam, but I have a strange fondness for these distorted PS1 style graphics which you recreate falwlessly. The textures and modells are lovely and your characters look great too! Your work is really really inspiring!
But as a negative I also have to mention, while this monotone garbage collecting fits the theme and the mood of the game well, it's drawn out a bit too much. The set pieces you have are great looking, the story works; and I really think it all would work better without the constant mundane picking up and putting down items, which you have to do a lot of times in this game. Maybe you can introduce a different mechanic instead of just taking these out of the game. The garbage truck boss is a really great example, it breaks up the pace where you have to do something else, similar things to that would help a lot I feel! I also don't think it works thematically when the point is it that you try to escape your garbage collecting job, and you have to collect more garbage to get help from someone who seemingly has no real reason to keep you doing that. But maybe I missed some clue about that.
But that is really not a big flaw, I loved the whole experience, congrats on the game!
Super nice atmosphere and a very eerie mood! Just running and running through these endless halls, escaping myterious monsters - I think this game excels in this feel of being in a place where you don't belong at all. The gameplay itself is a bit repetitive, but I think in some ways that helps build the mood too.
I thought this type of ironic Gen-Z humor would quickly get on my nerves, but no, it was really funny throughout the game! The graphical style is really simple but fits the game well! I had a lot of fun with the game, congrats!
Realy simple but nice looking and fun game! The characters look great!
You can never go wrong with cats! Cute idea, fun visual style and music!
Really fun game, I'm a big fan of this! Building totally useless machines and seeing them collapse wihin minutes is always a very funny highlight. And there's lots of options in this game, I like how there are more and more "assets" you can build your machine out of. As been said before me though, ten seconds is really not a lot to build stuff, but maybe it's a skill issue from my side!
Also great job with creating the graphics, it's really consistent and polished. Congats on the game!
Really lovely idea! Probably one of the most unique entries in this jam! We a drew a cat together 10/10.
The core gameplay idea is a really fun idea and it works out flawlessly! The grahpics and animations are cute, and the beat changing every ten seconds really adds a lot! At first I didn't notice the nerd-jock changing of the cats, maybe if it had some more visible animation as to when is it going to change it would've been ideal! Really difficult but had loads of fun! Congrats!
As others have said the scoring system is kinda random, but otherwise it's a cool idea for a game! Maybe it could've used smaller hair "particles" so you can be more precise with the trimming.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me either:(
I think the game just needs a little work in places, then it would be a pretty great game! like a little bit more animations and variety in the visuals, a gameplay that gets a bit harder after each time, and some longer music. But otherwise it's still a nice entry:)
Cute idea and execution! Maybe you could've used the seasonal changes for more changes in the environment, that helps progress you at different points on the map (for example if not just autumn is the only way to get higher), because as others have said there's some dead space in the game where you can't really do anything. The graphics are quite nice though!
Such a weird mix of...everything! Really unique game, I've never seen anything like it! It has some really special, great looking visuals!
I really like seeing fps games here, and this lovely low-poly style of your game works really well. The banana gun was my favorite part. Great work!
Lovely idea for the setting and the character! The whole game has a really nice atmosphere. Although I think the gameplay loop becomes repetitive after a while, along with the music; but I think that kinda fits the theme of this never-ending fight of the rose hip.
I already love Cheff Jeff's hat, but is there a link where we could try out the game?
The whole graphical presenation of the game is great. Things are easily understandable, the levels are short and fun! (and there's so many of them? How'd you do it?!) Also you can never go wrong with a cute cat as a playable character! Great job!!
The visual style is great, the limited color palette and animations feel really good. The game itself is nothing super complicated, and later on it kinda becomes a memory game rather than a simple platformer, but I had fun with it! Great job!
Super nice visual style! the main character's animations, the enemies, the arenas are all very well polished and great looking! Gameplay is nothing groundbreaking but really fun!
It's a bit hard to understand what you can do in the beginning, but after that the combat is kinda fun! The vampire and the enemies look good, but other areas of the game might need some love later if you decide to continue the project:)
Such a great game, I really enjoyed it! The ten seconds is incoroporated in a really good way! The minigames becoming harder in increasingly funny ways was absolutely my favorite part. Audio and graphics work really well with this type of game too! Great job!
The cover art looks really nice, I would like to play it:(
Nice classic tower defense game! the zombie idea adds a lot to it! With the help of some audio I think it could be a really complete game!
The game has some really nice looking stuff, but the multipe graphical assets (all with different pixel sizes) clash way too much from my taste. It's a tricky platformer, something that is not very kind to you, but I did not mind that! As others have said some more feedback as to what's happening to you would've been nice!
Such a nice game! Graphics, music, even the voice acting is great! It's a bit hard to understand the gameplay at first, but the whole presentation of the game is excellent, so that kept me going. Great job!
Super good looking game and nice audio too! It's really stressful to solve all these things in just ten seconds, so it's quite challenging!
It's a really fun game. Some more variety in scenery would've helped it, but I think it already works well in its simplicity. The clock as it is always visible in background is incorporated really well! and the upgrades and randomisation add a lot to the generally simple idea of the game!
I've seen the video about the man I think this game is based on, and it's an extremely heavy topic. The art style fits it very vell! I think the number is barely visible and it doesn't really fit into the visual style, so that takes a bit out of this well crafted world. But otherwise nice work!
Very cool idea for the game! at the beginning the upgrade system disrupts the nice flow of the game a little bit too jarringly for my taste. But it's always a nicce feeling obliterating a giant group of goblins at once!
Really nice mix of good looking 3d and 2d art! The upgrade system and some twists give a lot of replayability to the simple concept of the game!
Super cute looking game! Controlling it was a bit difficult though. But the whole vibe of the game is excellent!
pretty fun game, the difficulty is nice and i like the premise
took me a bit to figure out what to do but i liked the music a lot after i got it!
Very well-thought out concept! It's not just "eat things to to stay alive" but a lot of other interesting twists which make it a much more uniqze game!
i liked the art and the sound design, it has a nice mood but im not exactly sure what the story was about
Super well polished game! I love it how this rhythm dictates the flow of the whole game. Simple but really nice graphics too!
i wanted to play a bit more of this game to see if i was missing anything but the controls were kinda awkward for me, constantly having to hold down the right trigger got tiring really fast, i did like the idea of the house tho that was nice
As a fellow frog lover, I just had to check this game out. It's a really simple game but I think that works in its favor:) Love the little animation when the frog falls into the water!
Such an ominous, creepy game! The music is absolutely wonderful! It could've been a super banal game, but it managed to avoid that perfectly!
It's a really cool idea for a game! the controls are already super hard, so putting this 10 second limit on it too - it's certainly frustrating% But once it clicks it's really fun!
i spent quite a bit of time on this game but couldn't get to the good ending, but i did enjoy my time with it, the 10 second timer works really well here !
Super cool idea for the visual style, it's really unique!
Such a fun idea! After I got what I was supposed to be doing, I enjoyed it a lot!
This game has really nice atmosphere! Maybe it's a bit repetitive in its "gameplay", but the story is clearly more important here:)
i really want to like this game because it's clearly very well made, really polished, and i love the music, but it was way too hard for me even getting past the first couple of burgers. i think this game could be a very enjoyable experience if it was better balanced, but great job on the whole thing !!
I really like the whole graphical presentation of this!! It looks really cute!
Strangely addicting, given that I don't usually play these kinds of games! I had a lot of fun! The art style is nice and simple, too. Maybe the Mesoamerican topic seems a bit tacked on, but I like seeing it represented more, so I had no problem with that!
It's a pretty ambitious graphic novel with some deep characters! I think I can't hold all the information in my head which the game gives me, so of course I got the bad ending! But that's my own problem... There's also some really interesting mix of art styles, with really expressive 2d art. Music and sound effects could use some variation, but othwerwise nice work!
Such a nice atmosphere, great visuals, cute music, and like 3 hours of playtime?! I don't know how you managed to make this many distinct mechanics and polished levels!
Also, I've been told to rate the game highly in the humor category, so here I am...
There's some pretty heavy stuff in here - it works really well how you approach your experiences and combine them with your sense of humor! Lovely game!
A very stupid idea with a very stupid execution! I loved every minute of it!
A really fun fast-paced game! Very cute visuals and a fitting, adrenaline-pumping music. As other have said the story really slows down the game between deaths, but other than that, nice work!
A really interesting mix of different themes and genres. Have I chosen wisely? I don't know. But I felt really bad nonetheless! It's a heavy subject and you approached it accordingly, sprinkled with some grotesque humor.
I really like the art style(s), but the differently sized pixel art assets in the same space with high-resolution images felt a bit jarring and it didn't all fit together sometimes, but this is really not a flaw, more like a personal preference.
Great work, congrats!
I'm glad someone else also made a train-themed game for this jam!
After a few tries I understood that I shouldn't burn the whole car and maybe throwing out the conductor first is not the best idea there is. Even though that the sound effects are missing (yet), it's still a really fun a well-made game!
A visually impressive game! Sound effects might need a little work, as they feel very out-of-place right now, but that doesn't detract from the strengths of the game!
Also quite a challenging game, some places are a bit too cruel with you. But maybe just I was really bad at some parts. Congrats anyway!
I'm a big fan of low poly, old-timey 3d graphics, so I think you already had me at there! Great models and animations. The mood of these dark, crude places really creeped me out. As others have said, gameplay is a little bit too repetitive and takes away some of the charm of the game when you are desperately trying to find the 17th acid lake. But great work nonetheless, really liked this one!
very very cool game, loved the dynamic music and the overall polish. very impressive i love a good minesweeper-like
Really lovely game based on a fun idea. Cute art style and great sound effects too! After a while I stopped reading the texts on the bottom, so some little variations could maybe help that! But congrats!
very fun game, i liked how clean the visuals were. the shooting sound got a bit annoying after a while with no music but thats my only complaint:)
A pretty simple but fun game! It's really hard on a keyboard, but that's on me I guess. It fits the theme very loosely though, or maybe I didn't understand something. Also really simplistic, but great music and art too!
A really touching game about some pretty heavy stuff. I felt really moved, despite the simplicity of the game. Great work!
Really fun concept and simple but effective little storylines! Great work!
cool game very nicely polished! my only complaint would be that i didnt like the very heavy compression of the music when you hit an enemy
Really nice seeing more games with traditional 2d animation! Great stylish look too! The game is also really fun after the few tries I finally understood the different components. Congrats!
This is a fun idea for the theme, I never wanted ~~Mario~~ I mean Bario to fail this badly before. Really tense game at the beginning too! The music is great but it gets repetitive pretty fast.
Good idea for this theme! The visuals and the music are cute, and the game has a fun and bubbly atmosphere!
very cute game but it was a bit too hard for me with the randomness
Really nice game, I've played it through about 4 times, it definitely has a learning curve, but it's very enjoyable. Nice music and fitting art too!
This is definitely one of my favorite games this jam. I really like how it was balanced, even against the AI. My main complaint would be that the sound effects were way too loud compared to the music, but overall this was a very fun game!
Interesting game, I liked most of the art and sound, but I thought there were too many enemies for the variety they offered. It would've been nice if the enemies also had swords so there would've been a reason to block, and in general it was hard to tell when they attacked. Good job on including accessibility options, cool game!
I love this game! This is a really heavy topic to talk, let alone make a game about, but its one of the best ways to convey complex emotions, and you managed to do that perfectly.
Cool Wario-ware like game, my favorite minigame was the survive one, nice vibes overall.
Lovely game, quite similar to ours in some aspects, especially loved the breathing in the music at the end!
Oddly reminds me of LEGO Soccer Mania, not sure why, but it is a fun game!
Fun game, but a bit too hard because of the collisions being this big.
Cool game, fun idea, I liked the difficulty.
Really good enemy variety, great bosses as well, very fun game.
I really enjoyed the combat, especially the weapons bouncing off enemies, but I thought the progression was a bit slow. Overall it was a nicely polished game.
Nice aesthetic, I liked the depth, could be a little more difficult or at least more varied, but it's a nice game overall.
The gamepay and the audio getting more and more intense gradually is a great touch!
Great application of the theme!
The game looks nice, I enjoyed the concept, but it took a bit to figure out the movement without a tutorial. Overall it was a good experience.
Half the time I didn't know what I was doing, but the game has a really unique and fun mechanic!

One of the best games I've played in this jam! Simple to understand and very addictive mechanics and great mix of 2D and 3D, the game looks great! I'd also love to play a full version of this!! Congrats!

As others have said this is just a rough idea of a game, but I think that's what ludum dare is for! There's some fun ideas in there and with some finishing touches it could be great! I thought it was really funny though even in this state!
Emperor's Gems by Togis 2024-04-17T10:14:01Z ♥ 2
Surprisingly addictive, played multiple rounds of this:) Very simple and very fun, congrats on the entry!
Sorry, I can't come to the summoning today by Malte Hedenstrom 2024-04-17T09:21:17Z ♥ 3
After summoning so many monster in other games, I can finally sympathise wit how they actually feel. It's a simple game and premise but it's fun and it works really well!
Seance by alexrose 2024-04-17T09:14:21Z ♥ 3
Wonderful entry! I didn't manage to solve the mistery - I think I got stuck at a point, but I still had a lot of fun with it! I rarely see games with voice acting on jams, and yours is really good quality!! Love the whole graphical presentation too! But as someone who's seen a lot of ouija boards in games/movies, it was a bit jarring to see it used like this, but it adds a lot to the gameplay so I can look past that haha! Congrats to the game!
gladiatorium by Jejkobb 2024-04-16T16:39:37Z ♥ 3
the presentation is so nice! love the music & the visuals are very clean too
POLLY by Spica 2024-04-16T12:05:51Z ♥ 2
this game has great vibes! i wish there was some music/atmospheric sounds like in the very beginning to go along with the nice art, could've gone a long way in terms of mood!
Wizmorph by shwooken 2024-04-16T11:54:28Z ♥ 2
nicely polished! really loved the towers' shooting syncing to the music, wish there was a few more of them and that the game wasn't so easy but it was fun nevertheless!
Summito by RoughSkin 2024-04-16T11:19:32Z ♥ 3
fun game and nicely polished! not sure if i just got lucky and got a good build early or if the game is just easy (which is fine) but after that i just had to summon and sell and i thought there wasn't much i could do to improve/get higher numbers

the concept seemed interesting, i'm not sure if it's a bug or if it's meant to happen and i just missed something but after arriving on the third panel the window just kept sliding to the right to an empty blue screen

cute game! i'm also not exactly sure how the different colors affected the game but it was neat to see the combinations nonetheless
Butler! Summon the Imps! by jummbus 2024-04-16T10:00:18Z ♥ 5
extremely well made!! very charming all around, loved the music a lot and the game was very fun to play even without being very familiar with this genre of games!
Demonic Panic by Guilloteam 2024-04-16T09:42:28Z ♥ 3
Your games are always such high quality, this is no exception! This is not my kind of game so I'm very bad at it haha but I love the presentation and the progressing crazyness in the game!
Songbird Symphony by TheBookSnail 2024-04-16T09:36:25Z ♥ 1
Cute idea and I like the minimalistic graphics! I just don't see the summoning theme in it!
Faemori by EllieRaev 2024-04-16T09:32:11Z ♥ 3
Wonderful sprites and animations, with music and sound that fit it very well! Simple gameplay but with plenty of room to try out things and experiment.
Demonware Incorporated by hamster cheeks 2024-04-16T09:13:36Z ♥ 3
cool game!! loved the music & the background sounds especially ! agree with the people above about having some leeway before each game to make it easier to survive.

It doesn't work for me:( The game does not load after the main screen
Make It Rain by LittleBlackDog 2024-04-16T08:28:38Z ♥ 3
Best graphics for a jam I've seen so fare, the whole game has a consistent great look! To be honest I hate these types of games haha but this was this was so much more fun than I thought, the game is easy enough so you don't become frustrated but still gives a generous challenge. Great entry, congrats!
Vocatio by Mantsje 2024-04-15T22:59:48Z ♥ 3
I actually really enjoyed this! A classic format with a spell drawing twist. Love the rough pixel sprites, and all the fun enemies and their animations. I could never draw the star though, I don't the time or brain capacity for that...
Chechik's Adventures by lima victor 2024-04-15T22:52:23Z ♥ 2
I'll play anything that has agnome in it so here I am. I think this is a fun idea but it's a bit buggy and you have to be really precise with the timings, which is not that fun. I think having more time to prepare to see what action should you take would be great, then later it could speed up to up the challenge.
Booking It by Whirlguy 2024-04-15T22:45:30Z ♥ 2
Super cool art style, especially at the cutscene and I love the monster designs. I really didn't expect this kind of game looking at it but it works really well. Maybe it gets too stressful for me too fast, I would've love to have more casual minutes at the beginning!
Big Jack Horner Battle for The Last Wish Part 1 by Big Jack Horner 2024-04-15T22:35:02Z ♥ 0
I don't think the game works for me:(
Sumo & Ning by universeflow 2024-04-15T22:30:16Z ♥ 2
Cool idea! I like that it's not just a crafting game, you can actually see your creations help the fight progress. Your cover art is great and your game has very cute assets, but I sometimes feel like different art styles and pixel sizes are on the same screen and it visually clashes. But this is is really not a big problem!
Rain Summon by Alexandru Barbanoua 2024-04-15T22:21:45Z ♥ 4
Cute graphical style, a lot of time must have went into it! The gameplay is very simple, maybe too simple for what it is, it would've been nice to see something unique in the platforming or combat or something. But the art and music definitely make up for it!
And this is not really a complaint for the game, but mixing real cultures and places with total fantasy can come off as a bit insensitive, I think two possible better ways are either making the whole thing fantasy or doing more research into the actual cultures! But this is just a pet peeve of mine, the game is good regardless of this!
Temptation Summoner's Aprendice by Baluj 2024-04-15T22:11:03Z ♥ 3
I think I still have no idea what's happening in the game, even after multiple rounds, but I love the total chaos this game provides. Super simple art but works well here! I just don't agree with your font choices:D
Boiled Hell by Mortith 2024-04-15T21:51:31Z ♥ 2
Quite stressful at times until you get the hang of it. I agree that an infinitely looping book would be better, but I guess the point of the game is that along the way you start to learn these patterns and you don't need the book anymore. An interesting mechanic I haven't seen before and very cute graphics!
