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.

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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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.
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. :)
This is my nightmare of all my leftover TODOs coming for revenge. Cool idea. Some audio would have really helped sell it I think.
Love a good runner. I enjoyed it though I had a bit of trouble coordinating the dashes with jumps.
Might be my favorite of the compo so far. Great mood, graphics and audio. I would LOVE to see this as a mobile game.
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!
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
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. Such a great vibe and execution. I could definitely see this being developed into a longer narrative game.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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).
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.
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!
Really loved the music, backgrounds and general vibe. Could use a bit more instruction or ideally a tutorial to show you a sample run.

Holy cow is this polished for a 2-day Compo! Great atmosphere and graphics and I thought the modal control scheme worked really well.

Really nice entry! Loved exploring the ship and collecting all the codes. Reminded me of Mouthwashing in a good way.

Very coo, love the included tutorial. Only feedback is that the morse code sounds became a bit irritating.

Love GB, love the music and the pixel-art. Beautiful little package. I wish there was a UFO-50 like package of these little GB experiences.

Fun concept. I think this could work really with some more sfx/music and just juice in general. The firing sound got a bit repetitive while I was buying upgrades.

Super polished entry! It took me a while to find out just how to unscrew screws, thankfully the UI is responsive to mouse over.

Love the music and vibe. I am really glad the itch had a "WTF did I just play" section as well. :D

Very nice graphics and the interface works quite well. I did get stuck on some levels with nothing to do but watch the time count down at some points.
