I really loved the artwork! And the tutorial at the beginning felt very well-made. It took me a little while to figure out exactly how things worked, and I did notice that it was possible to be given a situation where there simply wasn't enough ink to complete a level, but it was still a neat idea and a great use of the theme!
Wow, I need to learn how to make music like that!
Like you said, there are some issues (I totally did the bankruptcy upgrade thing), but it's still a neat idea! It feels like a good base for a management or maybe even an idle game. And don't worry, I know the feeling of running out to time to do much with audio, too!
Very good music! And the game over is pretty brilliant XD
Best graphics and presentation I've seen so far this LD!
Definitely appreciated the inclusion of sharknadoes!
A simple but very unique concept! Very nice!
A simple, well made idea! Good job!
I like the idea of production chain games so this definitely was interesting!
Very cool result! With a bit of tweaking, I could easily see this as a fun full game.
I didn't watch much of this weekends livestream (I get distracted too easily) but I wanted to say thanks for encouraging people to take part last weekend. I was going to skip it, but I'm glad I didn't!
That music cracked me up XD Doo be doo waaaah, shoop be doo...
Nice touch with the Christmas mode :)
Very lovely pixel art! The level was gorgeous! Extra points for bear puns; would bear to play again, honey.
I really liked the enemy design and movement! It felt much better than the typical "charge straight at you" method. Good job!
I herd that!... Ahem... Good job!
Clever idea, I liked it!
Very cool! The pacing of all 15 puzzles was great!
Very clever use of the theme! I liked it a lot!
Huh, it's like my life if the power went out... Oh dear...
Very clever! I really like this use of the theme!
I loved this one! A clever, simple mechanic well-executed. A+!
The mechanics of the game were a bit hard to follow at first, but after a bit of tinkering there were some lovely discoveries and surprises in there!
I can tell the artist had a good time with this one!
I did run into what looked like a gamebreaker, though. The planets seem to be procedurally generated on the map, and after about 10 planets, the next planet was placed too far away for me to connect to, so unless there was a way of increasing the range that I missed, it was impossible to continue.
Good work with the visuals/audio, though!
This was a very creative idea! Excellent use of the theme, too! Gameplay-wise it had the right amount of challenge, though the "look back" mechanic was always a little easy to exploit on the second guard (typically I just made him turn to face a wall). Excellent work!
Very impressive artwork for 48 hours!
I really liked the graphical style! Great use of simple shapes.
Wow! That's really awesome! :D
Best jam entry I've seen! Absolutely wonderful presentation! I could easily see this being made into a full release with a bit of polish!
I must admit, I was almost guilty of not sticking with this to the good part! IT seems like you might have shot yourself in the foot a little by not introducing the main mechanic early on, so at a first glance the game doesn't seem as impressive as it is.
Once you dig in, though, it's extremely clever! and the way the worlds cut into one another is by far the best graphical use of the theme I've seen in the competition! I'd love to see this idea expanded into a full game some day!
Impressive writing! Very nice work and a great way to stretch out the theme into multiple meanings.
It's a shame you didn't have time to finish this; it seems quite interesting! I like the idea of transitioning towards land through that sunbeam.
Impressive artwork!
Awesome artwork and theme/mood! I found it a bit hard to control, but the presentation was top-notch.
I really liked this! It's a clever, simple idea, well-presented, great sound effects, and the dialogue adds a bit more personality to everything!
I had some trouble clicking reliably (seems to be a problem I'm having with all Unity games in Chrome on multiple systems; not sure what that's about), but I downloaded the windows version and everything seemed fine!
That's a rather neat idea! I'd love to see an expanded upon version!
I liked the maze theme!
A nice cookie-clicker, though not sure about the whole theme-abandoning thing...
The simple graphics suited it! Rather good level design for the short period of time, good puzzles and such. Kudos!
The nacho thing definitely made me giggle ^_^
I definitely thought those were suitcases! XD But it was a bit of simple functional avoidance!
This was a simple idea, but I really like how it was executed! Excellent graphics and I wouldn't have thought to use "Connected Worlds" in that way! I didn't entirely understand how to get a reward for the good ending though ^_^ Good job!
Interesting use of the theme!
LOVED the presentation! In addition to the graphics, the transitions, as well as smaller things like the UI reactions were top-notch!
A very cool mechanic you came up with there! Kudos!
I, like the other comments, got absorbed and had to read through the whole thing! I'm a big fan of humor in text-pacing (I'm sure there's a word for that), so this was great! Kudos!
Oh, and thank you for your kind comment on my game as well :)
Pixelpicard makes me laugh XD
Interesting mechanic! I can't say as I've seen math-fighting done like that in a game before!
I LOVED the intro screen! Very pretty! And that's a great character, too :)
Reminds me quite a bit of Sanctum! It's quite impressive that you were able to get all those missions in. Most games like this seem to stop at just one level. Kudos!
Nice concept! I found it a little easy to trick the opponent by wiggling back and forth behind a wall, but I liked the "warp" mechanic.
Thanks for leaving a nice comment on my game; I had to stop by and do the same :) And I was feeling a little down so a game about happiness was interestingly-timed! I think I might have to dig into the source so I can re-read the interesting essay within... without hurting my hand again ;)
Those descriptions were definitely the best part! Would love to see an expansion on this idea.
I like the use of the theme! Kind of that classic "if you were trapped on a desert island" question. I'm not sure it's how it was intended, but I won by using the lighter on the tree... then singing the Benny Hill theme tune for 18 seconds XD
Wonderful presentation! The writing itself was quite good but the way it was displayed really gave some extra charm to the scenario.
Very cool idea! Simple, but well-executed and properly challenging!

Board to DEATH by nsadie 2022-04-21T05:51:41Z ♥ 1
Excellent presentation, and a very clever puzzle! I've not seen a chess puzzle quite like it before! Fantastic work!
Trash Panic! by Defrag 2022-04-21T05:36:30Z ♥ 0
Neat! I love a physics-based puzzler! I really like how you fit everything on the screen, both for the fun of seeing things tumble down in and interesting way, and for showing information in a compact way. Good work!
MacBooler by kromeboy 2022-04-21T04:01:45Z ♥ 1
It took me a while, but once I got it, this became what might be my favorite game of LD 50! Couldn't stop until I got a leaderboard spot at 260 😄
(this is not) Dating Advice by nyxkn 2022-04-20T19:20:42Z ♥ 1
On my third run, my partner said I was just as fat as the day I met them, on day 5.. so I left them! Best ending 😄
Seriously though, very solidly made! I quite liked the losing animations!
Fox Driver by rolferm 2022-04-20T19:09:39Z ♥ 1
Web version ran well for me! I liked the AC balancing mechanic!
Piggy Pileup by candlesan 2022-04-20T06:03:34Z ♥ 1
Didn't expect to see a fully functional word game in an LD! Very neat! I was surprised how solidly it worked given that the letters had physics, but I never ran into any issues!
HMS Inevitable by Frank Gevaerts 2022-04-20T05:18:30Z ♥ 1
Neat! Been a while since I played one of these text adventures. I did have to look up the solution after a bit of fiddling with the bucket, but I was on the right track! I liked the writing!
Doctor's Orders by mharring 2022-04-20T05:05:44Z ♥ 1
I'm always impressed by LD games like this that manage to put multiple functioning minigames into one package within the allotted time! Definitely strong on theme, and I liked how it had a cheery tone to it, against the backdrop of an obviously grim subject matter. Well done!
RogueTime by shared 2022-04-20T04:51:27Z ♥ 1
Really enjoyed it! It's a simple detail, but the feel of the attack animation and the speed of the projectile really added a lot, and though the cast of enemies was small, I liked that each one felt so unique.
The main hook of the game, paying for abilities with your ticking clock, is particularly interesting! Some definitely were better than others, but for LD balance, it seemed like it was working perfectly fine, and I could definitely see it being expandable in a multitude of ways. Very good work!

Really liked the music and the pixel aesthetic!
Quackenfarm by InitialPosition 2022-04-19T23:11:56Z ♥ 1
Love the music! Also really like that this game was done turn based, made the time management much more interesting!
Deathly Delay by MasterOfCheese 2022-04-19T22:29:57Z ♥ 1
Impressive! Any one of the minigames would have been a valid entry, so the act of getting a full set is really neat!
Asteroid Anarchy by Mateu 2022-04-19T22:18:46Z ♥ 1
So many parts of this seemed to be on point! The feeling of being on the asteroid in space, the difficulty (took me about 5 tries to beat), even the clever choice to only play the intro once. A quick and simple idea, but showed a lot of solid design instincts!
Vine Dash by Taximan981 2022-04-19T22:04:37Z ♥ 1
Excellent presentation! The opening cutscene is great, and the game itself is a well-paced infinite runner, that was really fun to play! Made it to 1866 😄
Worm Food by Genpaku 2022-04-19T21:55:45Z ♥ 1
Seeing the prototype and the 3D version was rather neat! And a good minigame, reminded me of something you'd see in a rapid-fire Warioware sort of thing! ❤️
No Touch The Cat by Sheol 2022-04-19T21:47:36Z ♥ 1
Best buttons of LD 50! 😸
Really funny with great art!
Out of Controls? by Bumble 2022-04-19T21:40:07Z ♥ 1
Dang that's tough! I really like the idea, though! I could see this being played two player, with someone else trying to wire your controls and.. chaos ensuing!
Island Management by Pete 2022-04-19T21:31:43Z ♥ 1
Managed to get to 218 happiness after tinkering with it for a bit. I like the ideas at play here! The dice-wiping mechanic is quite interesting.
Holding On by Cubanfrog 2022-04-19T21:16:42Z ♥ 1
The art is so lovely! I liked how the game evolved with extra routes, creating more vulnerability the longer you "hold on". An excellent portrayal of that situation.
Might be digging too deep here, but it actually reminds me a lot of what I've read (and experienced) about the concept of mindfulness, with the towers representing avoidance and suppression, while every round there's a button to accept the situation for what it is, even if that feels like "losing the game". Perhaps that was just my take, but regardless, it was quite thought provoking!
Escaping Precedent by DecrementedPalindrome 2022-04-19T20:29:16Z ♥ 0
When I first clicked on it, I misread it as "Escaping President", now it makes more sense XD Liked the neon look! Went well with the music!
Moon Base EVAC by notime4games 2022-04-19T20:17:13Z ♥ 1
I really liked this! Pulling off a base builder in 48 hours is impressive in itself, but the invasion loop (and the animation) was a particularly clever take on the theme!
Defend 'till the end by kjscott 2022-04-19T20:00:40Z ♥ 1
Really love the aesthetic!
Inevitable Seige by Hawke Games 2022-04-19T19:56:47Z ♥ 1
A solid tower defense foundation, with a good ramp-up of enemies!

RIP Rad Lad, he will be missed! The physics felt well tuned for a snowboard feeling!

Your drawings are hilarious! XD Great work!
