I enjoyed it. Definitely different that so many entries (and yay for more RTS's). The mouse controls were very unusual (why not use right button instead of left button since middle is same as wheel) and I do wish there was some visual indication of your area of effect.
Very neat idea and well executed for a game jam. For some reason I kept ended up fighting myself. I'll try again a bit later and see if I connect with other players.
Nicely made twin stick/mouse shooter. I really enjoyed destroying the level once I realized that was possible. I felt like maybe the beginning was a bit too easy (I had to hunt for enemies at times) and the movement felt a little stiff (could use some acceleration/momentum - particularly when sprinting).
The music adds so much to the game. Great theme and execution. Have some sound effect or effect for an action taking place would be great (it wasn't always immediately clear that my click had any effect).
It took me a bit to realize that I needed the other blobs to eat the apples for me. Really nice pixel art - scales up quite nicely!
Very polished and fun or a 48 jam. I really liked the art style and enjoyed it despite not really liking auto-battlers that much.
The sounds did start to get a bit old after a while and some music would have been nice. I also second the request for an option to change the time scale. It was also a bit hard for me to tell the difference between forest and mountains at first.
This game has a great mood and was pretty funny and unique. I rudely skipped some text, but had a great time dragging around sprouts and exploring the bizarre world.
Really loved the music, backgrounds and general vibe. Could use a bit more instruction or ideally a tutorial to show you a sample run.
Super impressive entry for Compo! The assets were super cool and it was fun wandering around hoovering up items (kinda like a low-poly Luigi's Mansion).
Great idea (love me some llamasoft!) and graphics. I also found the time for the first level quite punishing. There isn't much time to learn the control scheme before you are out of time.
Might be my favorite of the compo so far. Great mood, graphics and audio. I would LOVE to see this as a mobile game.
Love a good runner. I enjoyed it though I had a bit of trouble coordinating the dashes with jumps.
Loved this one. Such a great vibe and execution. I could definitely see this being developed into a longer narrative game.
Nice simple game with a great retro arcade vibe. I feel like the game really could have used with a "apple collected" sound as some sort of satisfying result would have helped there.
Super cool concept! Really loved this one. Rotating the fractals was very zen and could result in some some surprising outcomes. I feel like this could be a fantastic iOS game relax with.
This is my nightmare of all my leftover TODOs coming for revenge. Cool idea. Some audio would have really helped sell it I think.
Great mood and graphics. I couldn't figure out how to go much deeper (or at least my gauge didn't change much) and I keep waiting for some sort of threat or jump scare. Great vibes though and impressive entry in 48 hours with the immersive audio work.
Really clever and well done mash up of idle/clicker game and tower defense. Would love to play this on iOS.
Nice take on golf (which I love only in video game form). The levels could use a bit more variation and the final object is less fun to get. Still, I was hooked for a bit!
Loved this one. Felt like almost a clicker but more of a chaser! Would have loved some music, but the graphics and world were top notch!
Really liked this one. Programming your little tank robo-rally-style was a blast! The retro graphics fit perfectly as well. There was no audio for me - which would have added a lot I think.
I really loved this one! Fantastic idea and the pings revealing enemies getting closer and closer sets a great vibe. Also really fun music and homemade sfx. :)
Really glad I read the comments because sending multiple probes really changes the game! Delightful little game and the music and graphics are strangely quite cozy.
Super minimal, but what it does it does fantastically. I played much longer than I thought I would to try to get <100ms. The little touches like the reverb and background ads really make this something special. Would love to see this developed into a sweet of games.
Really fun game! Only notes were that it is too fun to explode cars on purpose and the background music sounds like cars are exploding even when they aren't.
Great graphics and world building with so little. The talking noise was kind irritating and some music would add a lot. I really enjoyed my time being a heartless lineman!
I was pretty terrible at this game and was just spinning nonstop into asteroids. Some sfx would help communicate the crashing into asteroids a bit. Coold idea!
Agreed that audio would really help this one, but concept and graphics area really cool. Nice use of dynamic lighting!
Great simcity-esque graphics and concept. Some sound/music would really help as there is a lot of sitting around waiting.
Very interesting. I've thought about trying to make a puzzle binary game for a while. Having some affect (sound and otherwise) when getting a good/bad hit on a box would help sell it a bunch.
Sweet and short. I really liked when I got when I got to the level where it matched the itch background. Cute art and the droning music is strangely very soothing.
So fun! I love a good geometry wars-like and this one is great. Loved the music and the controls are super tight. I also did end up crashing on game over and the animated images on the itch page were super distracting until I went full-screen. Otherwise no notes.
Fantastic entry! Really loved how the radio tuning combined with the narrative to build the tension and great sound and art. So much vibes. Pretty much only tiny note is I kept clicking on the blinking radio light thinking it was interactive.
