Disco Diner by Peredom 2023-10-19T15:22:01Z

Pretty fun!!

I like how you introduced the whole theme within the game pretty creative!

The visuals and the music are really great, I like both, even tho I would have liked 1 or 2 more tracks for the levels as it gets a bit tiring hearing the same music

The gameplay is arcade-y and it has the potential to be addictive, altho I found it quite repetitive after a while. some variation in scenrarios and maybe even more types of customers would be nice!

Good job!

Smash & Pack by pndaa 2023-10-18T02:26:52Z

The main character is so badass fr ong. When I need to move out I'll know who to call....

I think it's really funny how everything you hold just explodes the moment hit it enough times. The voice lines are pretty great too.

I had a lot of fun just destroying stuff after I filled the truck, its a simple and fun game

music's a bit repetitive tho, that's my one complaint

Tiny Temple by sinclairstrange 2023-10-19T19:05:06Z

This may just be the best game I have played so far

The amount of polish here is absolutely insane for the time it was made. it genuinely feels like a full finished game, not a 72 hour thing. i have no idea how you pulled this off, some black magic

Graphics are amazing, there's a lot of visual variety and the NES look is done excellently. The soundwork is great too, very satisfying sounds

The controls are great. There's a great amount variety of variety n the guns items room layout. I barely felt the repetition beacuse there's so many variables to the rooms they all end up feeling fresh. I could not stop playing the game until I finished it. super addictive.

I don' really know what else to say, it's just peak

Pool Frog by notnasiul 2023-10-19T21:29:46Z

Very cute game!!

I really like the frog character, the animations are really cute and charming! the sound effects are pretty good, altho it would be nice if there was music too

The gameplay is nice, it took me a second to understand the controls it but after that the game, but once I did that the game was fun! The game is pretty easy but I actually like the relaxed pace in this one.

I liked it, good job!

Justine Time by abcdef65g 2023-10-18T06:05:26Z

I think the idea is really neat and creative!

I wanted to check this out because I saw the really cute art!

Using the limited space in the context of slowing down and speeding up things

The execution definitely needs more polish tho, especially the controls, they make this a little bit too hard to control, they are just a tiny bit too floaty. It also would be nice if you could jump of the ladders while you are on them.

as it's stands now I'd say it a little rough around the edges

I think there is something in there that can be great if you manage to expand and polish this

Packing by homeworld 2023-10-20T01:19:05Z

This is really really good! very impressive especially for the amount of time t was in

The most striking aspect for me was the fact that there's full voice acting. this is the first game in the jam that I have seen doing that. The sound work in general is just incredible

The visuals and the atmosphere are top notch too, I really like all the little spooky happenings. the pixelated look is also done very well, super good stuff

The writing is solid too. Pretty funny at times!

I like how the theme is used, the puzzles are pretty compelling, tho they can be a bit complicated at times. Sadly I started losing patience after day 6 because I was taking too long with them, but that's on me. I am sure that there's a lot of cool stuff in the next days based on what I played so far. It would have been

You guys did and absolutely terrific job on this!!

Rush Station by wolderado 2023-10-19T14:38:59Z

Very fun game

I like how the theme's used here, pretty unique take!

the visuals are good, I like the stylistic choices here, same with the sound effects! they help the gameplay feel satisfying!

The game controls well! The gameplay loop is pretty addictive and I can see myself playing this for a while. i'd like to see this expanded upon with more types of passengers and possibly some other obstacles. it would also be nice if you could add some kinda visual indication for when the kick charge is at max level!

The game over screen is pretty funny too

Good job!

quarosel by unless games 2023-10-20T16:40:52Z

This game is excellent!

The visuals are great! very appealing minimalism, the color choices are very nice. I really like the sound effects they are very good and I am a sucker for more digital bit crushed sounding stuff

The use of the there is very unique here!! you managed to take the theme in a very interesting and fun way! It's a super fun 2 player arcade game, it leads to a lot of chaos

It's a shame that tis did not get more ratings because it's a perfect small game, one of the best I have played, you did an amazing job on this!!

This Robot Wizard Game Is Taking Too Much Disk Space! by jandourek 2023-10-15T12:29:48Z

What a creative little game!

This is by far the most clever use of the theme I seen so far, it's a great concept that has a lot of potential for some really fun puzzles. I also thought the missing 8th level was a really funny and clever touch lol

The ones you have put together are already really pretty clever and I had fun coming up with solutions for some of them. It very much feels like a flash game and I really like that!

The music is very good nothing to comment here The graphics, altho they could be better they have a bit of charm The controls could be a bit more polished but they do their job for what they needed

Overall I am actually really impressed with this, good job!

Flob the Bloing by Branquelo 2023-10-17T21:36:43Z

I really like the sprite work it's very nice!

The way the theme is integrated is pretty creative!

the way the main mechanic was implemented however left me a bit dissatisfied tho. When I started to get better at controlling the character I started to see the appeal, tho I do think the character falls way too quickly and I often found myself making way too short jumps when trying to exit the squares, causing me to fail. I eventually got somewhat used to the way the momentum works and I managed to do it to the end, tho it made the experience not as fun as it could have been and left me wishing I had a little more control over the character.

Also, as some others pointed out but the music loop is a bit repetitive, a longer track would be really nice

the game could be interesting with more polish!

Floppy Intelligence by Ganny 2023-10-20T18:38:34Z

Very cool use of the theme! Pretty unique!

I really liked the whole idea of managing the diskettes, I didn't finish the whole thing but from what I played it was pretty fun! It took me a bit to understand the controls, and for some reason I could not click e from the menu I had to actually press the key on my keyboard, but that's like a very small problem

Good job!!

Compress(space) by Fahim Faysal 2023-10-17T20:59:38Z

Very creative!!

I really, really like how the theme is used, very clever!

The aesthetic is minimal but very clean and well done! Oddy enough ! think the lack of music actually kinda adds to the overall mood and aesthetic

it was very fun playing though this, the mechanic is intuitive and easy to use. I think this has potential to create some awesome puzzles, especially if it's more expanded on, with more obstacles and maybe even vertical use of the mechanic!

very satisfied with what I played, I would love to potentially see this turned into a full game

Face the Dice by Bastienre4 2023-10-15T15:13:59Z

Really addictive

The gameplay loop is fun and engaging. There's surprising amount of depth for such a simple concept, it's very nicely done. The theme really works in the game's favor as the limitations force you tot think a little bit more about your choices

I have encountered a softlock where the dice got stuck

The visuals are pretty good for what they are even if they are rather simplistic

The music choice is very good, it helps me remain calm and focused.

I feel like some sound effects would really elevate this and make it a very satisfying experience!

Good job!

Six Seats Left by F1Krazy 2023-10-20T17:25:48Z

Very interesting

I really like the take on the theme here!

The story is interesting. At first I tried to get the characters I found the most worthy, then I played a few times to see how every character ends up. Really liked the dialogue and the realism

Very good little game!

Emilien In Paris by Bigaston 2023-10-18T05:48:40Z

This is a charming little game

it's simple but I really enjoy it for that reason, it's relaxing. I like how it ties in with the theme

I know absolutely nothing about Paris but if this is an accurate depiction of living there then I think I learned quite a lot today lol.

At first I tried to arrange everything a somewhat logical way but then I gave up and I kinda just put everything a good enough order in the last level lol. I think it's really funny to imagine actually living in a place arranged this way.

Good job!

Super Drillboy by jordantanner 2023-10-18T05:04:37Z

I only have one word for this, satisfying

I think that you found something really great from the very start with this drilling mechanic. breaking the blocks as you go is just so satisfying together especially when you get that boost and you just destroy everything in your way. the sound design helps a lot too!

The use of the theme is simple but it blends so well with the gameplay and creates something awesome.

I don't even mind that there isn't music I am completely fine with just the sound effects in this case

I am glad that you were able to expand on a lot of the ideas form the original build. I feel like you grabbed the exact things that made it so satisfying for me in the first place and improved them tenfold providing something really addictive. also the visuals were p good in the original build but they are absolutely fantastic in the new one I love them!!

this is one of the most fun games I have played so far, great job!!

Realistic Falling Blocks by Flying Dog Fish 2023-10-20T19:03:02Z

Very fun!

interesting take on the game of tetris, I really like it!

I also like all the visual effects you added, it makes the game look really fancy and cool. he music also helps a lot, it's long enough to where I really don't mind it at all. it's also just nice and fits the gameplay.

The gameplay is fun. I tried my best to line them up well and get as much points at possible, but things always devolved into chaos rather quick lol. I enjoyed it tho, that was part of the appeal for me!

great job on this!!

HeadSpace Limited by Im not a robot 2023-10-17T22:18:21Z

Really fun!

it doesn't quite fit the theme but is but I think the whole idea of preserving memories is awesome, and it intrigued me quite a bit! the bgs make for some neat surreal visuals and the music is good!

I really enjoyed putting on the upgrades and slowly becoming op. There's a pretty good variety to what you can equip and I like that. It also controls nicely! Overall it's a recipe for a pretty addictive game!

I enjoyed what I played! Good job!

Laser Grid by MasterProject 2023-10-19T21:56:01Z

Very cool idea

the use of the theme here is pretty creative! I like the direction you took it

The style is minimalistic but it looks great, very clean and well done.

The gameplay became really cool once I understood all the mechanics. it took me a bit to get the hang of it but I made it decently far. it is a bit too much for me at some point but that doesn't really take way from it's arcade-y quality.

Good job on this!!

Give Me Money by kairuma 2023-10-20T14:33:44Z

It is indeed a simple game for simple people

The artstyle is really nice and clean!

It is very simplistic compared to other jam games I have played but that's not a bad thing at all, it actually really helps it in tis case, because the loop is really addictive and satisfying!

The only thing I could say is that the money sound got a bit tiring after a while and it would have been nice to have some kinda option to turn it off!

Great job!

COSMOSTRIDE by Catusfelony 2023-10-15T04:08:03Z

Pretty good!

The graphics do a decent job at capturing the Star-Fox feel while managing to keep some charm the music sets the mood pretty well as well as the sounds

The controls are smooth and intuitive. the difficulty curve is enjoyable, I thought it scaled pretty well, tho I will say that the shooting does get a bit repetitive after a while. the upgrades are cool little addition, but it would be nice if there was a little bit more variety rather than just simply stronger versions of the other ones.

at first I couldn't really see how this fits within the limited space theme until I got later in the game, tho I would still like something a little more specific, as to me it feels rater loosely linked.

Booze & Row by Gonzo13 2023-10-20T14:52:06Z

The style is executed really well! Good job on that!

I don't really see how it fits within the theme beyond the fact that it's only 1 screen

I think the idea is funny and with mote polish and content it could be a pretty fun arcade.

Pretty good!

Rabbit Reporter by LucaVazz 2023-10-15T13:58:57Z

this is very charming and cute!!!

I love the artstyle choice. when I saw it I instantly wanted to check the game! It's very well done and it really helps it stand out!

I like the use of the theme, it's pretty creative! there's a good variety in what you can put in the news paper as far as subjects and I like that The writing is really good, it got a few chuckles out of me, I enjoyed going around interviewing all characters and everything they had to say!

I would love to see this expanded with more stories to report on and and different plotlines and such

I see a lot of potential here!

Crazy? by Danial Jumagaliyev 2023-10-15T11:41:40Z

The idea is really funny! It's pretty creative too with the use of the theme, as well as having a pretty solid atmosphere.

graphics are ok, but I will say I feel like blend well stylistically with the absurd concept. the game controls well but gameplay wise it becomes somewhat repetitive. I struggled a bit with fat rat, I managed to overcome it eventually after a few replays, but a bigger hitbox would be really welcome!

pretty good overall!

wild maid by thyoi 2023-10-19T10:31:14Z

Very neat little game!

The graphics are very good, the artwork on the cards and the character portraits are very well done done and visual aesthetic of the game is really great! the music is pretty good too, it helps with the overall relaxed mood! The character's really charming, I already like her!

I like that you took the concept old maid and you gave it a really un spin with all the different types of cards, it's really fun, no matter f I win or lose. It also fits really nicely within the theme

Very cool! good job

Sheep in Wolf's Clothing by ottos 2023-10-19T11:43:47Z

Very cute and charming game!!

The art is absolutely incredible, this is the prettiest game I have played so far! I love everything about the visuals, it's filled with so much charm!! Peak character design (especially the sheep boy), and the sprite work is very good too. I think the Gameboy palette is a super cool touch too!

The writing was great too!! Really liked the little story as well as the dialogue was cute and it made me smile!

The gameplay is a bit simplistic, it would help if the puzzles were a bit more complex, also the battles had a higher difficulty, but for the time it was made in it's good!

You all did a great job on the game!

Need for Space by Coro_yy 2023-10-19T13:59:58Z

I think the concept here is great, pretty creative use of the theme

Unfortunately like others before me said, the game is just a bit too difficult for me and Ihave some problems with the physics. it would make turns much more easy if there was more room fir error.

the graphics are fine, but a skybox and some bg elemets would be welcome. some music would help a bit too

the idea is pretty fun, it could be a great little game with some polish and easier difficulty!

invenStory by Roroto Sic 2023-10-19T13:09:44Z

I think this has potential if it would be more polished.

Rn placing items in the inventory is pretty glitchy. When you place an item in the inventory off center it either slides out the inventory to the left and falls or it doesn't place itself in the slot at all. When trying to swap items it sometimes overlaps them or throws one for the items out the inventory. Overlapping in general just kinda occurs at random.

I have also had a hard time trying to pay for shops, items don't stay in the slots most of the time and sometimes it does not give me the item even if I gave the correct amount. I think the shop would also be better if it wasn't time limited or at the very least allow you to stay for longer.

It would also be quite helpful if each item had a description, maybe by hovering with the mouse on them. it's quite hard to understand what each can do. I saw some increase stats, but others I had no idea what they would be useful for.

The visuals are minimalistic but good, the music is also pretty nice

There's a pretty cool idea here but it needs more polish, still nice job tho!

Escape The Phantom Seascape! by Tao Yuanyue 2023-10-18T07:32:17Z

I have finished the full thing!

the thing that struck me the most is the visuals and atmosphere, this game looks absolutely incredible! i love the stylistic choices, both the oil painting look for the normal environments and the rough crayon stuff for the dark segments. very good horror and surreal imagery. I imagine a ton of work went into it and I am amazed this was finished in 72 hours!

the ending was a nice little reward, I tried to follow along with the little story told and I thought it was pretty neat!

I think the puzzles were pretty cool and the one with the eye got me thinking a bit which I think is cool. I didn't have too much much trouble finding the objects needed, tho I think some sort of hint system would be nice.

I also have a hard time seeing how it ties into the there, beyond maybe the idea that the water's rising and you have to move up the ship cuz there's less and less space, but I think it's pretty vague

I really enjoyed the game overall, especially the visuals, they were an absolute treat!

Gacha Fever by Falestress 2023-10-19T23:35:44Z

The artstyle is so awesome and cute! Very well done!!! I think you nailed the vibe you were going for! I really like the character designs! The sound work and music is also very good and complements the gameplay and visuals well!

I understand the theme use but I found it's not very effective in gameplay.

I am no very familiar with this kinda genre but form what I played I think it's fun! I thought the variety of upgrades and and items was decent, especially in the post jam version. I enjoyed the few rounds I played

I think you guys did great, especially on the visuals!!

Grandma Won't Stop Buying! by WeirdBitGames 2023-10-20T00:01:11Z

this a funny little game!

Maybe grandma chill a little on making orders lol. the fact that you can stack a ton of boxes and throw them all at once and ruin the house is both hilarious and also really satisfying.

Sometimes the boxes end up bouncing off the mailbox and get crushed by the car

I like how it uses the theme even tho it's not very limited

It's pretty good and I feel like it has to be even better with some polish and more content!

P.S. we also made a game about packages but it's kinda different

Avoider by Planetary 2023-10-17T20:09:20Z

I can see this being a pretty good game if it was more polished!

It's an interesting use of the theme use the theme

the visuals are neat, I kinda dig the minimalist look. The music is ok, works with the whole aesthetic.

Gameplay could be addictive, but as it is I would have liked if the reaction time on the controls was a bit more consistent, for some reason I get slight input delay at random times.

On top of that the randomness of the map shrinking causes the difficulty to be all over the place and there's points where I can get stuck.

I see potential in this if it were to be continued!

Fishy Business by zerohalogen 2023-10-15T13:02:35Z

The graphics and mood are charming, I really like the setting! I liked the use of the theme, and some of the items were pretty funny, as well as the whole idea of needing a fising permit The gameplay is relaxing, pretty slow paced but the core loop is pretty good, I'd really like to see this expanded with some further elements to spice up the loop more If I were to say one thing, I wish the upgrades and the shop were spread a little more evenly, there's stretches where I run into the the same thing a lot.

It's a pretty fun game with potential!

Drive Ice by ShinanXu 2023-10-19T17:23:27Z

Very cute!!

I really like the style, especially the penguin's design! very charming!

The use of the theme is pretty simple but effective

The gameplay loop is fun and the controls are easy to understand, I think the fact that the penguin slides off the ice slowly is cool, it adds enough depth to where it doesn't feel mindless.

My biggest problem is the shark spawn. I have died 2 times simply because the shark was directly under me. other than that it's good!

I can see this game being addictive if the gameplay would be expanded upon some more! good job!

Crime Critters (Rob the British Museum) by Pen Island Games 2023-10-15T03:36:51Z

What a fun little game!

The graphics are great, I find the idea really charming, I really like the heist angle! The fact that you can actually break and things, forcing me to maneuver more carefully through some sections really put me in that mood, plus it makes clever use of the limited space theme!

The concept of controlling the 2 characters independently, it can lead to some really funny and chaotic moments trying to coordinate them and especially with the time limit at the end. I feel like with practice I'll be able to collect more treasures. Tho I do see this handling more precisely with an actual controller.

I was a little confused at first on how I was supposed to load I the treasures but I quickly realized what to do lol. Overall I think this is a great concept and I really enjoyed it from what I played!

SINISTER ELEVATOR by ScaryTreeGames 2023-10-17T22:37:26Z

I don't really know if this was a deliberate choice, but I really like how the game ties in with the theme by putting you in a small claustrophobic space!

The atmosphere is really solid as well as the graphics! the sound design and the music are also very good. You managed to pull off the horror pretty well!

However, I found the game to be very easy, I didn't really feel like there was a any kind of raise in difficulty, it just kinda stayed at the same level though the whole thing. It would really help if there was more variety in the enemies, maybe they could offer different patterns and ways to tackle them.

there can be potential for a fun little arcade game if this would be expanded upon!

Payment Comes on Friday by Tetracold 2023-10-03T01:51:16Z

We are gonna release a patch with better difficulty balance, we are displeased with how that turned out gameplay wise. a lot of cuts had to be made unfortunately

Payment Comes on Friday by Tetracold 2023-10-15T04:19:34Z

@3mpty

Thanks, We on the team also felt the same by the time we finished it. We have a lot of ideas which could spice up this loop and add further content if we decide to continue making the game. A lot of gameplay ideas unfortunately just didn't make it in this build due to the time limit.

I hope the patch at least serves as a good basis on what the jam build could have been if we were able to properly develop it.

Payment Comes on Friday by Tetracold 2023-10-15T15:19:00Z

@danial-jumagaliyev

Thanks for the feedback! If we expand this into a bigger game that will be one of our main priorities, we already have some fun obstacles and extra tasks in mind :)

Payment Comes on Friday by Tetracold 2023-10-17T21:43:46Z

@empyreans

This is super helpful, thanks a lot for the feedback! we really appreciate it!

Yea the water cooler not filling is deliberate!

I'll show that glitch to the team, I am sure they'll find a way to fix it. I only do the art and come up with ideas really lol.

I am glad you like the portraits btw lol

Hasty Heist by captainzo 2023-10-18T08:28:31Z

the game is decently fun, the way the theme is implemented is nice.

I am not gonna give a rating on the graphics since they are Unreal assets

The game can be fun especially when you are trying to get the objects as fast as possible while trying to increase your storage so you can carry more. there's decent variety with the objects. I also thought that the game over cutscene is kinda funny. It would be nice if the motion blur would be tuned down. I have encountered quite a few objects that clipped though the floor though my runs.

I even softlocked myself by climbing here. hasty heist.PNG

Game's pretty fun tho!

Escape the Slime Lab by Redoxeide 2023-10-18T01:51:58Z

pretty cool concept!

I like how it ties into the theme it's pretty clever!

the graphics are also good, very nice spitework! some music would be a welcome addition!

I tried the jam version then I tried the fixed version (which makes quite a few quality of life improvements. I will say it took me a bit o trial and error to understand how the gimmick works. I didn't have as much fun as I could have had cause I found the controls to be rather clunky and the placing of the shapes was very precise in the jam version.

One criticism I do have for both versions is that the character lacks any momentum build and that is especially apparent when I jump because there's absolutely no control on the distance the character will jump. I found that rather frustrating at times because I caused me to fail the last puzzle quite a few times. I managed to finish the game but I think that would be something really nice to have fixes

I see potential in this if it will be more polished and expanded upon with new gimmicks and other shapes possibly!

Escape the Slime Lab by Redoxeide 2023-10-18T03:02:26Z

@redoxeide

yes that's what i meant, it was mostly in the jam build in the build the post gam one wasn't as severe but I still encountered it a bit. maybe it's the speed of the character that gave me little time to react, not entirely sure tbh

Packing time ! by Valothebest 2023-10-17T18:32:52Z

I like the use of the theme here!

the graphics are good, I like the variety in objects visually as well as some of the little charming touches. The objects also offer a pretty good variety in terms of shape for the puzzles.

I found the music to be kinda repetitive after a while, it would be nice if it were longer or if there were a few more tracks to break the repetition

I found the controls to be somewhat convoluted and it took me quite a bit to understand how everything works, maybe it would be better to find a more intuitive and better explained control scheme if you consider continuing the game!

Maybe even condensing them in some more convenient commands, something like having rotation mode where they can be rotated on the x y z axis by only clicking and dragging with the mouse

Overall pretty good!

Shadow's Edge by octahedron 2023-10-20T11:06:27Z

The idea is pretty cool!

The visuals are very nice, I like the thye choice of a cold palette as it helps selling the whole space alien look! it would be nice if there was some music too tho

the integration of the theme is pretty creative, I like the whole trying to stay in the light thing. It would be helpful if the player had a light circle around them that would fade the more you go in the darkness, I think it could help with some of that visibility issue with some of the platforms

the controls are a little confusing, I recommend trying to make them match the angle of the player, especially on vertical surfaces. I was always always subconciously trying to match the facing angle and it kinda confused me.

this could be a really cool little puzzle game if you would expand more on the gimmick! Pretty good!

Outta Space by Empyreans 2023-10-17T19:37:58Z

I REALLY like the presentation of the game!! the graphics are amazing and it's really polished for the amount of time it was made in! all the attention to detail is so good! I love all the little options you can explore, very cool stuff!

On top of that I really like the integration of the theme! the gameplay loop is simple but it's pretty addictive, especially with all the requirements! I can see myself playing this for a while!

I felt like everything was intuitive and nothing was confusing or too overwhelming.

I really like what I played! Good job!!

First Summon by MaxguN 2024-04-20T08:23:31Z

Super cute game! the cat designs designs are adorable

I also really enjoyed the idea of creating your familiar based on the objects you choose, gives me an extra reason to replay it

good entry!

Demon Dayz by Ntimi 2024-05-02T15:19:06Z

nice artsyle and the music really works well with the gameplay! The dialogue was funny and I also like that the game's name references the Gorillaz album tho I am not sure if that was intentional or not lol.

thought the combat was pretty fun, variety was enough to keep things fresh. Would be nice if the demon had a few more attack types

Chicken Slayground by Zettelkasten 2024-05-02T10:21:27Z

this art direction is super awesome!! I love the carboard cutouts, such a cool and charming stylistic choice, it really makes the game stand out! the way they break into pieces also makes them very satisfying to break! congrats to the artists for pulling off the style so well!!

the gameplay was very fun! Never felt like the game was too difficult and The summoning element kept it enough fresh and engaging the whole way through. I'd try to spawn as many minions as possible because they'd just absolutely obliterate most enemies that came in my way, it was really funny and satisfying lmao.

The game could use a little bit more variety like more summons and maybe some moves to add a layer of strategy but other than that I had a blast playing this

Awesome entry, great job!

Sandtown by UnidayStudio 2024-04-18T23:22:33Z

Despite being a simple game everything is very polished! graphics and sound design combine together to make the experience very pleasant and relaxing! The only thing I think would make the experience better was if I had access at any time to the building blocks instead of being randomized and would have liked a little more variety, but it's excellent either way! Very good!!

My Demonic Little Demons by DallOner 2024-05-03T14:32:05Z

Nice fun sliding puzzle game

The art is great and it does a good job staying on the theme!

Split-Decision by ColeSlaughter 2024-04-19T06:41:41Z

I really dig the clean minimalistic style and also the music was good! Interesting and clever use of the theme as well!

it took me a little bit to understand how the scoring works but once I got it became pretty fun! I got a pretty high score on one of the levels, but I am not very good with handling the crystals but it's a very fun concept for a simple arcade-y game! really solid entry, I enjoyed it a lot!

The Ghost of Leo by kabloosh 2024-04-19T03:10:15Z

As someone who had lost some pets, this really spoke to me. you did a fantastic job conveying the message even through this simple story game. beautiful and heartwarming

An amazing entry, hope you get more ratings so you have a chance to win

gladiatorium by Jejkobb 2024-04-19T07:32:15Z

I really enjoyed this! The creature designs are adorable and charming! The whole game looks very pleasing with the soft color palette and the music and sound design adds a lot of personality too!

The game is simple but really solid and intuitive. It can get pretty intense at moments trying to manage everything but that was part of the fun for me! I got about 1200 points on one try

Some of the jokes got a chuckle out of me too

excellent entry! good job on this!

Manifest Swell by arron-fowler 2024-04-19T08:43:21Z

Very interesting entry! the visuals are awesome, I found them quite mesmerizing and I really dig the music choice as well it fits nicely!

it took me a little bit to understand the gameplay, but once I got it I had fun. it makes for a nice arcade game. feels polished and I found the controls o be responsive.

You should rate other games so you can can enter the final ranking, it would be a shame if you didn't the opportunity!

Really good entry!

Eye for Mischief by Vyolfers 2024-04-21T00:19:27Z

Omg!! this game is so adorable, I love the artstyle!!! both the art itself and the sprites are fantastic for this one! congrats to the artists who worked on this, they did an amazing job

The gameplay was also really enjoyable, it was the right amount of difficult and I found the game to be intuitive, I understood what to do even without looking over the tutorial. Short but sweet!

Greta entry! Good job on this one

Raising the Bread by ZuhairGhias 2024-04-21T05:27:17Z

The artstyle here is amazing and full of charm! I really like the character designs and especially the painterly backgrounds, they look very nice!! it's all very cute and cozy, congrats to the artist who worked on this, it turned out really good!

The music is very nice too, very jazzy and I like that each track gets faster in tempo to match the difficulty of the levels.

I like how the theme is implemented here, using combos to summon the creatures is pretty neat, tho it would have helped a lot of the player had a wider moveset, maybe more attacks and some type of roll, plus it is not very clear if you can doge enemy attacks, I have tried but I have been unable to, the enemies seem to have pretty big range. At some point my strategy just became spawning in long range creatures. With some polish and more summons this could be a great game

really good entry, good job!

also I saw the post about ratings. Leaving comments with feedback on other games helps a lot especially if the creators heart them, also hearting messages received on your own game and engaging with them by replaying too, hope it helps!

My Little Demons by Kaish 2024-04-21T04:37:20Z

Funny little game, the sprite work is pretty solid and I the sound effects pretty funny and charming lol.

I enjoy games where you make use of using objects in order to help you advance, so I naturally liked the he twist on that idea here. The puzzles were well designed and they made use of the abilities in some pretty clever ways, especially the last 2 levels.

Good entry!

Ethereal Tower by Zliebowitz 2024-04-22T04:27:11Z

It's neat to see another tower defense game,

the pixelart is cute and it looks nice! it would have been cool if the levels had more varied themes like a different environment for each level

Gameplay is pretty solid here liked the 2 last levels the most and I thought all of them were pretty well designed. I wish collecting the bags was made automatically by hovering over them, it made things a bit difficult to manage things while also having o click on the bags to pick them up at the same time.

pretty good entry!

FRIED AWAY by Kyrios 2024-04-20T08:41:41Z

This idea is hilarious, I really enjoyed the creative and unique take here! The art is also fantastic, the presentation is great, congrats for the artist

The gameplay took a little bit of getting used to, but once I did it became quite addictive.

Sometimes when I spawn in a chicken that's above the player it causes them clip through the floor and die. Also I found it a little odd that i couldn't draw chickens too close to the gorund

If the concept art is indicative of anything, this game would be really cool and fun with some polish!

Really Good entry, I enjoyed it!

Penguinology by Smidgens 2024-05-01T14:07:58Z

Peak penguin experience

Ordinary Wizards Doing Ordinary Things by Fupi 2024-04-22T02:05:10Z

This game was fun! simple but solid!

I like the artstyle it's simple but charming! the music is also pretty good!

I think it's a funny idea that this is a world where powerful wizards have to do mundane tasks for the people lol

At first I found it a little difficult to handle the wizards as I wasn't exactly sure what I was supposed to do, but I eventually got the hang of it. it was never too overwhelming, it only took a bit more focus on my part.

The only thing I could say is that I wish it were a bit more obvious how many wizards are required and time what the time to finish each task is, because sometimes I'd fail even if I had a wizard or 2 already working. Good entry!

SummonInn by Daxic 2024-04-19T00:10:35Z

Super polished! I don't really have any critiques, I really liked everything! I can see this being a full game on steam! very good entry!!

Legend of Lady by Spice Cabinet 2024-05-02T15:03:30Z

the artstyle is really nice, I can definitely notice some of the inspirations here!

the game was pretty fun but I was not able to advance past level 1. whenever I would bring the gems to surface but for some reason they just wouldn't be detected as collected, not sure what's up with that. I also wish there was a little bit more variety with the enemies and more types of bug summons

nice entry!

TechnoMonk RITUAL by Furano 2024-05-01T16:43:12Z

This is a really funny spin on the theme, I like the the direction you took it with the whole rave angle! Both the music and the visuals are excellent here, I really like this artsyle, simple but stand out at the same time and very pleasant use of color.

The mechanic is simple to control but it has a pretty good amount of depth. The mechanics feel satisfying and complete

I got stuck on the fences nd couldn't move at the start of level 3 where the spear throwers are. I also somehow managed to glitch some of my troops the endless mode and I was unable to call them to me

I played the endless mode but I didn't get too far but I thought it was definitely fun

Really good entry!

Summonion by KeithSwanger 2024-04-19T00:39:46Z

Unique and charming take on the theme! I like the recorded sound effects they add to the charm. I tried to keep on evolving my onions but then I saw that evolving the red ones just gives you more red onions lol. The only thing is that I wish that the game was just a bit harder but I still appreciate the simplicity of the game Good entry!!

Haunted Forest by zimny11 2024-05-02T15:07:41Z

The atmosphere is really strong in this one, I really enjoy the minimalist 1 bit style I really adds a lot to the overall presentation! I also think the lack of sound actually woks in it's favor to make it a little bit more eerie and atmospheric.

I was able to gather items and advance a bit but at some point while brewing things on the pot I got suck and couldn't figure out what to do, may return later and give it a try I am sure I missed something in the world

very interesting entry!

Globeba by Saturnyoshi 2024-04-23T01:48:05Z

Another banger form the GOATs!!

Hyper Hydra by Goofte 2024-05-02T04:34:19Z

Super fun take on the theme I like how the tower defense elements are used here!

the sprite work it's super well done!!

it It pretty challenging after wave 4 but I had lots of fun with this one. the loop is addictive and I constantly wanna come back to see I can do even better. there's the perfect amount of variety abilities and balance for the heads and it allows for lots of strategy.

This is probably one of the best balanced and polished games on the jam gameplay wise I've played. It would be awesome to see this turned inti a full game, there's a lot of potential

Amazing entry! good job

A cake from beyond by Nuanda79 2024-04-20T22:09:44Z

Simple but enjoyable! I really like the artstyle here, it's very well done and charming!

The dialog was funny, the ending in particular had me laughing, it was pretty good ngl. I also like how the character ignores the one book that literally tells them how to bake a cake lol

it was pretty simple finding all the objects needed and it kept things enjoyable.

The only thing that could improve the experience for me is if the game had some original music but the music that is there is fine too!

great entry!

School is Hell by Gizmo199 2024-04-23T03:16:36Z

This was really fun!

The art is full of charm!! Even if I failed on my first playthrough but seeing all the funny little illustrations of the imps creating mayhem more than made up for it. I eventually got the hang of the gameplay and I enjoyed how it mixed things up, it kept it enough fresh

Really good entry!

Fidget's Familiaria by dreamcastgh0st 2024-05-02T15:40:26Z

I really like the artstyle and the music here! both are very good! I dig the main character's design a lot as well as the creatures, they are all equally awesome.

I was a little bit confused a t first with how the game works especially with he different gameplay styles and interpreting the recipes but eventually started to pick up on it. It's a really interesting take on the theme that I haven't really seen done this way

Hope this gets enough ratings till the jam ends

Good job!

Horrors from Beyond - The Bayou by GameDevTraum 2024-04-21T02:59:31Z

I like the art n this one, it's very well done, I saw the concept art in the post and I thought it was awesome so I had to check this out lol. I think this game would be really interesting with a lot more polish and time!

I didn't really have a problem loading the game, just took a bit, but maybe that's because I have a pretty good PC.

I found the fact that the game kicks you back to the to the screen having to replay everything again to be pretty punishing and somewhat frustrating especially if you if you die somewhat late in the run which I did a few times. Checkpoints or autosaves each time you unlock or collect something would be really helpful in that regard.

It would help to have some sort of map of the layout, even if the game isn't very hard to navigate and short.

Also as someone else pointed out it would be good if there was some sort of warning in regards to the alligators, but honestly I found it pretty funny when I died to one.

Pretty good entry!

Tremblewood by Hawkin 2024-04-21T07:16:02Z

Fun little game! I like that you kept everything low poly and pixelated it looks really nice, good job on the shaders.

The game itself was a bit easier than I would have liked but I rlly enjoyed causing all the destruction and it felt satisfying collecting all the resources in order to summon more troops. Experience was polished and it was to understand what to do. This could be he base for a pretty nice game if you consider expanding on the concept

Good entry!

Demanager by satacat 2024-04-21T08:35:50Z

The art is good, I like the variety in designs and the whole idea of this being your job is pretty funny

The tutorial really helped to make erything easy to understand, you did well adding that

The game is really polished and well designed! I really enjoyed the core mechanic here, it never got too hard and I like how especially in the 3d day it encouraged me to take a closer look look at all the clues in order to identify the right demons, it kept the gameplay fresh and fun!

Really solid entry! good job!

Danger Zone! by Romulo_Developer 2024-05-02T15:14:41Z

The minimalistic artsyle is pretty neat and the music is good too!

I really enjoyed this, the gameplay loop kept me hooked, even tho I didn't get that big of a score, the spike in difficulty makes me wanna return to the game and get a even better score. I also thought the bullet spread when you hold the cursor in the middle of the group was a nice touch, the way the bullets look in general is really satisfying.

It would be neat to see this game with a lot more variety in pickups, more types of enemies and maybe even a skill tree system or upgrades at the end of each stage

really fun entry!

Throes of the Javelin by MatterLinx 2024-04-22T03:21:43Z

OMG his game is absolutely phenomenal!! the level of polish here is so crazy crazy, if someone were to tell me that this was a full release on Steam I'd totally believe it. This is some pro level stuff right here

Both the sprite work and the music are amazing, I love the atmosphere and the world you built here, it's very immersive and well done

The main mechanic is super satisfying., especially that knockback I am sure it allows allows for some really cool strategies. I am not super good when it comes to using movement in crazy ways but I was able to pull some neat little tracks with it. the level design is clever and it fully uses the central mechanic to it's advantage, it's all very fun and the right amount of challengeing.

this is one of my favorite entries, if not my absolute favorite form the whole jam, I loved it! congrats to the team for making this amazing entry

Blort's Big Adventure by koboldskeep 2024-04-21T04:01:33Z

Cute little game, the artstyle is charming and it reminds me of some older flash games!

I usually like the idea of placing down objects in order to use them as platformers, and here it's done pretty well! I also really enjoy the clever pun names for the characters as someone who likes to that with my own ones

Just personal preference I would have liked a bit more control in the air because it caused me to die quite a bit, also if the jump was a bit higher as it caused me to get stuck and have to restart a few times, the game would really befit of that undo mechanic everyone is talking about lol, it was still enjoyable tho, the puzzles were pretty fun and easy to figure out.

Good entry!

Make It Rain by LittleBlackDog 2024-05-01T14:45:04Z

I thought this was a fun and unique take on the theme that was executed pretty well! I haven't seen another game like this in the jam

The spriteowrk is good and full of charm, and while the music kind of got repetitive after a while, but I also took way too long on some of those poses ngl LOL.

Playing this on keyboard was kind of painful at times, but I can tell it was intended for controller. Sometimes the rig would go absolutely crazy and fly all over the place but honestly that looked pretty funny funny, the jank actually added to the experience experience for me.

I also liked how the poses themselves started to become progressively more broken I thought that was funny too

Good entry!

Daemonis Algebra by orbitaldot 2024-04-21T08:51:59Z

Hell ye, now this is a character I can relate to, doing homework is lame af! if only I could summon demons irl to do it for me lol..

The pixelart is very nice and cute, the game looks great! I wish there were a bit more varied sound effects, it felt a bit lacking.

The controls were responsive and the character felt really nice to play! At first I wasn't very good at it, but I quickly got the hang of it, it's simple but fun! The only thing is that I wish there were more levels, but what's there is still good. I went for a second run just for the sake of building another demon.

With more content this could a fun arace-y game!

Really good entry!

Wizbbit by Angelino 2024-04-23T02:05:17Z

Making a first game for a jam is pretty difficult, especially because you may not have previous experience with such tight deadlines, so I get the pressure.

It's unfortunate that you couldn't do more in the time as the core idea is fun and the art is really cute!

Hope this experience doesn't discourage you from trying again in the future!

Summon Shuffleboard by thyoi 2024-05-02T03:12:55Z

The art is really cute and well made as usual, you did a great job on that!!

This is a super fun idea, I like the surprising amount of depth and polish! I am very good at the game but form what I played I enjoyed it, I can tell it would make for a great game even from the things that are present. Shame you couldn't finish what you planned, it would be cool to see this expanded on with more types of pucks. Hope you don't feel discouraged by this experience

⌰⟒⏁⍜ (leto) by Sodoj 2024-04-20T00:59:41Z

Interesting entry, simple but pretty seweet!

I kinda wish he music was a little bit more melodic and conventional cuz it would have helped me focus a little better on the timing input lol, but it didn't throw me off too much and I understand the vibe it's going for.

I also think the timing could be a little bit more forgiving but otherwise I enjoyed it!

Pretty solid entry!

Gacha May Cry by Rojoin 2024-04-21T09:32:15Z

This game is SOOO funny, the Messi joke killed me, I couldn't stop laughing for a good 2 minutes. I hope this wins in the humor category cuz it deserves it!!

It's also awesome to see all these people collaborate together to make this, I assume everyone came with their own artstyle and added jokes to this, it's cool to see all the different elements coming together!

Amazing entry, didn't expect to find a game this funny but here we go. Congrats to the team for the effort!

Pictomancer by RobLaro 2024-04-18T23:10:01Z

Super cute artstyle, I like it a lot!!

I also like the gameplay, it's simple but very addictive, I have been playing for quite a bit. I like the variety of patterns it keeps things fresh, great entry!

Chain Reaction by Ategon 2024-04-21T02:27:58Z

Pretty fun! I like the sprites they are well done and the monster designs are fun and varied and I especially liked that track that plays, it's super catchy lol

The concept is pretty fun and I like the whole aspect of paper rock scissors, I did my best to try to lure the monsters into fighting each other but I wasn't able to get a very high score on my tries

I gotta say tho drawing is somewhat slow and there have been a lot of moments when I would draw over the symbol I just drew because I'd expect it to spawn, and I couldn't quite get quite get used to the waiting time. I would prefer if it was a bit more fast and there was some sort of sound effect to indicate that the pattern has been recognized.

I couldn't spawn one of the guys but then I realized I was doing the symbol wrong, it would be helpful if the instructions were just a bit bigger so it would make the pattern a bit easier to read.

With some polish I think this could be pretty awesome! Good job!

Call of the Woof by Beeb GameCodeCompany 2024-04-20T07:51:16Z

The artstyle is really charming and the endings ae quite funny.

the 3D audio didn't work quite properly. It didn't pan from left to right as I would have expected, but I was still able to find the dogs though the volume of the bark.

I enjoyed this cut little entry!

Démon Puzzle Attack by Roroto Sic 2024-04-19T10:28:15Z

this was fun! I like the sprite work, it looks great! the little tune playing is also pretty awesome

Will say I didn't actually encounter glitches on my playthrough. The game had me pretty hooked it took me a bit to realize that each block different effects

good entry!

Uncanny Inscriptions by Juss 2024-05-03T16:45:07Z

First let me start with the positives

The presentation here is really great! the 3d models are pretty impressive considering the time limit and I especially like the character designs some of them are really cool! The general atmosphere and vibes you guys managed to create are great

However, I found the actual gameplay experience to be less than exciting.

I got a little confused with drawing patterns, so kept trying to make the combinations based on some of the comments but for some reason I just was not able to make the candles turn blue no matter how carefully I drew the symbols and I almost gave up out of frustration but then I reopened the game and somehow this time it worked. I am really not sure what I did different

It would have made the experience a lot more enjoyable if the clues were at least a little more specific, because I probably would have given up if it weren't for the comments.

But I don't wanna be too negative, I understand that it is difficult to make something intuitive in 3 days especially if it's the first time. I hope this experience helped you learn some things and hopefully you will be able to make something truly great next time!

Ancestor Rain by ELLISBUG 2024-04-22T04:46:23Z

The art is really cute here, I love the lil frog dudes and the environment is really nice, the atmosphere you built is great! I also thought the voice acing was pretty solid too

I am not super good with rythm games so I appreciate that you included an easy option lol, it was fun!

really good entry!

🐑 S.H.E.E.P - Sheep Hell Emissaries, Eradicate Purity 🐑 by Shenoit 2024-04-19T08:17:22Z

It's like one of them mobile ads but not a scam lol I thought the game was pretty funny and the the visuals are solid!

the gameplay is good for what it is, I found the levels to be pretty enjoyable, I found the physics to be a bit wonky at times, but it didn't ruin the experience or anything. I have encountered a a glitch where the kraken tentacles remained on screen, it went away when I used them a second time.

also at some point I managed to crash the game somehow

pretty good entry!

Butler! Summon the Imps! by jummbus 2024-05-03T13:52:57Z

This is amazing entry!!

I absolutely love the artstyle and the presentation, the character designs are awesome!!

the music has not right to go THIS hard

the gameplay is very polished and intuitive, the levels are well designed and offer a great variety of gameplay, the rise in difficulty fells just right, This is one of the most complete feeling games I have played during the jam, you all did a great job on this!

Would you still love me if I was a worm ❤️🪱? by samsface 2024-04-19T10:20:21Z

This was awesome, one of the best games I have played so far, I have nothing else to say but congrats to the team, you did an amazing job with everything here!! I think this has high changes to win

INFINIWITCH by drainkid 2024-04-21T01:24:31Z

This game is the best I have played in the whole jam so far, I loved every aspect.

Style? amazing. music? fire. the mechanic? brilliant. The way the main mechanic it uses the theme is and builds upon itself so creative, I love it so much

It's super polished and it's mad fun. I tried to go for S rank but A is all I was able to get so far, I will definitely come later when I have a bit more patience and try to S rank it because I was HOOKED

All I can say is that I need MORE, I hope this wins this is my favorite game so far. if you plan to turn this into a full game I'd pay money for this

the whole team did Incredible job, congrats!

Evocation by kanity 2024-05-02T15:51:31Z

this is very cool!! I really enjoyed the atmosphere in this one, you did a great job making it creepy and mysterious. it would have been neat if the puzzles were a little bit more compelling but it's still good as it is!

It's kind of crazy that you managed to make all of this in 3 days, also I think it's really cool that you documented your process of making the game and how you came up with the ideas for the story!

great job!

LAST MINUTE AWAKENING by ZombieWalrus 2024-04-21T03:24:31Z

The presentation is what sticks out the most here. The art is really good and I think the idea of combining the summoning theme with a small rythm game is pretty neat.

My biggest problems is with the rocks like many have pointed out, but I was able to finish the game, I just had to mage some really tight jumps. With some polish this could be a lot more fun Pretty good entry, liked the art a lot!

Haunted Cartomancy by Norah 2024-04-22T07:10:41Z

I really liked this!! I\t's definitely definitely one of the more interesting games I have played during the jam

The presentation is absolutely amazing and pretty insane for just 3 days!!

the models are great as well as the art on the cards I especially like the colors in particular, it makes the game really stand out and does a perfect job setting the mood. he way everything is set up form the beginning to the end is finely crafted to create a really intriguing and spooky experience. This is definitely one of my favorite uses of the theme form an aesthetic stand point.

I liked the aspect of using objects as answers for the riddles, all of them were the right amount of difficult, and the twist at the end was really cool

amazing entry!! congrats to the team!

Hell Spawn by Babaorhum 2024-05-02T14:31:04Z

The art direction here's really solid!

The main character is adorable and the church setting's really cool! I also very much enjoy the funny sound effects, the burning platform scream caught me off the first time I heard it lmao

I have seen a few games where you summon platforms in order to progress, but each having downsides thus requiring more careful platforming and placement gives it an interesting spin. they were used pretty effectively and satisfyingly in the levels. It would be cool to see them also being used in clever ways for solving puzzles or a little more intricate platforming challenges.

I wish there was a better way to tell where place platforms because I'd sometimes place them them too high and I was forced to restart because I couldn't reach them anymore.

Good entry!

Circle of Life by UniOwl 2024-04-22T04:03:19Z

I wanted to say right off the bat that the here art is amazing I love all the creature designs!! they are all varied eye catching and appealing. very strong presentation here, congrats to the artists!

People have given out a lot of useful critique and I don't really have anything extra o add that hasn't been said already. I can see this being great with some polish, but it's pretty good entry regardless, especially the art!

Crimes Against Carrots by NonDev 2024-05-03T12:48:09Z

Really fun arcade-y game, pretty addictive and it controls very nicely!

I love the sprite work on this one, you did an amazing job on them! I also really like the music, it's catchy!

Good job!

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-19T06:59:06Z

@jordantanner thanks a lot for the complements!!

As for the other points, we are currently working on a patch that will hopefully fix the visual readability issues and make it a bit more clear what you have to do

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-19T21:12:02Z

@xry We had a mechanic planned that would have allowed you to create formations by linking UFOs together but we had to scrap it. Hopefully some of the balancing for the enemy behavior we have have been preparing for the patch will encourage the use of a bigger variety of troops!

@fabula-rasa thanks a lot!! I'll be sure to keep in mind giving the UFOs more battery. This patch we are currently working on aims to make it properly endless lol, sorry about that.

@yanato thank you! the UFOs were supposed to charge automatically after the battery runs out but unfortunately we ran out of time before we could code that feature in. Alternatively you can right click on them to turn them on/off and that will also make them recharge

@tricky-fat-cat thanks! I'll make sure to keep those in mind, I will try to come up with a more intuitive and easy to use version of the UI in a future update.

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-20T17:06:20Z

@koboldskeep thanks! the UFO summon is 25 bells, also the UFOs are this way because you can change the troop by dragging another cat over the UFO, hope this helps

We aim to fix some of the confusion with our patch

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-21T08:58:02Z

@ZombieWalrus glad you enjoyed the game and the art!! I tried to edit the description so it is a bit more helpful with what you are supposed to do, so I am happy to see that it helped!

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-23T07:27:17Z

@pebkac hanks for the feedback! We are currently implementing the replay button in the patch

MEOWTERSPACE by Tetracold 2024-04-25T18:40:02Z

@thyoi OMG WHATT?? this is so awesome tysm!! I showed it to the other team members and they loved it!

Hellmouth Pizza by FunnyPumpkin 2024-04-21T00:06:28Z

The artsyle is amazing in this one, really cute and charming! I like how everything looks textured and cartoony and colorful it's very cool looking, congrats for the artist for pulling this off!

As some of the other people have pointed out, it would be nice if the timer was a bit more forgiving. I eventually got used to it and I was able to make 8 pizzas.

PS I tried the post jam build and it fixed a lot of the issues I had, I enjoyed it a lot!

Ghost Link by willianfhs 2024-04-22T02:34:55Z

Fun idea! The designs are silly and charming, I like them!

Some of these were really funny, I also enjoyed catching all the references made. I replayed the game twice in order to see what other dialogue I may have missed.

I like the idea of having to type in a question in order for the character to say something back. even if I picked 1 or 2 wrong characters it was still fun to see what they are gonna say. I tried to do things as quick as I could but I only managed to managed to solve 4 problems per day

Good entry, really solid!

Death Beckons by Empyreans 2024-05-02T15:34:03Z

Simple but engaging, I enjoyed the narrative you presented here, it's an interesting take on the theme!

also the environments actually look really neat I like them a lot! the presentation in general is pretty strong!

Idea Catcher——Summoning Tools by DrgCandle 2024-05-03T21:36:46Z

This is super polished! the artstyle is awesome and very very creative use of the theme!

The puzzles are really made mechanics are used to their full potential! I felt really clever for managing to cheese some of the puzzles, but that doesn't take away from the strength of the level design, it's a very well made and complete feeling entry, great job!

Demonware Incorporated by hamster cheeks 2024-04-20T00:15:30Z

Wow the presentation is absolutely stellar on this one! I didn't expect to find a game with a whole written song but I must say this left me quite impressed! I also love the visuals, they look amazing as well, congrats to the artists and the musician who worked on this they did an amazing job!!

The game itself is fun, I wish the minigames wouldn't start so fast because it caused me to lose a few times. I also wish there was a little bit more minigames but what's there is great still!

Amazing entry, good job!

Devil's Advocate by Spectra 2024-04-20T21:48:02Z

This is awesome! the idea is very similar with what we initially came up had for our game but we ultimately went with someone else lol. Good to see a game that fully develops that concept!

I really like the visuals, the artist did a great job on this one. The writing was pretty and entertaining funny, I replayed it to see what else I missed.

Really good entry!

bergs by burnttoastdev 2024-04-19T07:06:23Z

One of my team members told me to check out this game and I really don't regret doing so, very fun and creative use of the theme! the presentation is simple but charming

I really liked the puzzles, I thought they were the right about of difficult, the whole experience felt very polished and very much what I look for in a game jam when it comes to gameplay! I can totally see this being made into a full game, there's lots of potential

excellent entry! good job!!

PARTYCRUSHER... or something cool like that by zirzak 2024-04-22T05:45:15Z

LOL This was really funny I liked it a lot, the characters are quirky and I enjoyed the dialogue a lot. I tried t go for as many endings as I could

Solid art too, some of it is kind blury but otherwise really good

Good job!

Ink Summoner by Custodi 2024-04-19T06:07:11Z

Very interesting and creative use of mechanic and theme. I see a lot of potential in this. with a lot more polish and puzzles, I think you can turn this into a full game!

I found some of the puzzles to be quite obtuse and I had to check the walkthrough, but it didn't affect my experience too much.

Good entry!

Super Pal Summoner! by Meepster 2024-04-20T02:25:21Z

This game is charming an simple! I especially like the kitty it's really cute :) It's simple but I like it, it's pretty addicting and

All I could think of is that I wish there would be some music, it would help

Good entry!!

Out of Chalk by coffe789 2024-04-20T00:51:54Z

This is one of the best entries I have played so far...It's simply fantastic, everything form the art to the funny writing to the clever puzzles comes together to make such a fun and enjoyable experience!!

Congrats for the team to putting out such a polished game in 3 days, it shows that this had a lot of care and effort put into it!

I think This has good chances of winning!

The Summoning of IN-SI-LA by Dogshroom 2024-04-19T04:40:49Z

The art in this game is absolutely phenomenal, this is the game with the strongest presentation I have played so far, all the elements combined really nicely, I think it has pretty good chances to win! I found the dialogue to be compelling too I tried to get all the 4 endings because I got invested.

Amazing entry, congrats for the team on this one!!

Luminth by crushedsummers 2024-05-02T11:17:59Z

The presentation is the strongest element here! the artstyle is striking and gorgeous! the colors complement each other very nicely and the illustrations are pretty!

I really like how the central mechanic reveals a little bit more of the background illustration, it made the process of lighting up the more rewarding, tho I wish there was more than 2 levels with more backgrounds, colors and layouts.

Once I got the grasp of the mechanics the game became pretty easy. it would be nice if there were other types of goldfish traps with different visual ques to spice things up. What was there was pretty enjoyable and I could see some potential to expand on the game

Really good entry!

Blood Rite by LetsSnack 2024-05-02T15:27:01Z

The artsyle's neat, I particularly like the use of red tones for the palette, it definitely makes the game stand out visually!

The gameplay was somewhat interesting and I played a few rounds even tho I wasn't really able to determine the most efficient strategy to get a good score, my scores were a bit all over the place lol.

I am also not entirely sure what the 20 blood summon was supposed to do did. regardless the idea here is pretty solid and polished

good job!

TAKE ME HOME by PlintusB 2024-04-19T02:49:55Z

I like the artstyle it's quite well done, the aesthetic is pretty cool and I like how it gives a bot of context to the mutations. The combinations can get pretty wacky and some looked kinda funny

Gameplay wise I wish it would have gotten a bit more challenging and varied as it went on, but idea's still good!

good entry!

My Crazy Little Garden by Patomkin 2024-10-25T02:05:57Z

Super fun, the artstyle is really cute and charming, it looks great! shame that there isn't audio

the gameplay is very chaotic but that's what makes it so fun, the cycle and the randomness keeps it engaging all the way through, its very addictive!

Really good entry!

Unlucky fried chicken by Daniel C 2024-10-09T12:16:05Z

I liked the voice lines and also the doom reference lol, the presentation as a whole has a funny charm to it.

I think the managing mechanics are good but I don't seem to be very good at the game...I can't get a higher rank than C lol

One critique is I wish the chickens wouldn't run off screen because that happened a few times and I couldn't do anything about it. It would be nice if there was some kind of mechanic to maybe call chicken back to a spot on the map so it prevents that. other than that I found it quite enjoyable, good entry!

Unlucky fried chicken by Daniel C 2024-10-09T12:33:02Z

@bananplyte

Oh wait you can move the camera around?? Now I feel stupid cuz I completely missed that LMAO

that does make things a lot easier thanks for telling me!

Chanterune by Kerdelos 2024-10-24T06:42:49Z

loved the game! the artsyle is great, and the setting to be very pretty, I like some of the crumbs of lore present

the controls feel responsive, I found the mechanic to be creative and I thought it was used very effectively throughout the game, the platforming felt well designed and the perfect amount of difficult. the bossfight at the end was a nice way to end things off The only thing, like someone one else mentioned, would be that I wish the fireflies had a bigger light radius, as it made the dark part a tiny bit difficult to traverse

I think it's worth turning into a full game, the mechanic has a lot of potential to be used in a lot of ways and create some pretty intricate gameplay especially with some combat

this is one of the strongest entries I have played so far, really enjoyed everything

Prince Charmony by 100th_Coin 2024-10-22T02:28:30Z

really great game

The puzzles were fun and the rise in difficulty in difficulty is just right. they are incredibly well designed for just 2 days

I loved the presentation of the game, the style is great and the cutscenes were very funny! I also liked the singing over the music, the prince's theme it's quite the ear worm especially paired with the singing

very good entry, super polished

Little Pecker by Rohun 2024-10-24T19:41:08Z

Amazing entry, I liked everything about it. The artsytle is great and it has a lot of personality and charm. I especially with the 3d feel it has. the music and sound effect work was also great

the controls are feel very nice and responsive. the length is perfect for a jam game and it has enough depth to stay very fresh and fun. it was very intuitive and simple to understand

very good entry!

Fry Quest by Togis 2024-10-10T10:07:24Z

Short but cute! there is a nice variety of gameplay for the length

I enjoyed the tone here and the story was pretty funny at times, I also thought using potatoes to explore the theme is pretty unique!

good entry!

Critter Conflict by SpiRiTs 2024-10-21T19:02:45Z

Really good game, the premise is really funny and the artstyle is really good, I liked all the designs and the idea of having a big creature being helped by smaller ones is really fun! the music was great too.

The battles were well designed and varied, I enjoyed all of them. The only thing I struggled a bit with was the bird seed attack, I found it difficult to dodge, especially if there's 2 in a row.

very good entry!

Sammich by ColeSlaughter 2024-10-22T01:18:51Z

Super fun, loved everything about the game

The artsyle is very charming and stands out , the mechanic is both very creative and funny, it's a pretty unique take on the theme

the gameplay is highly addictive. I played for quite a while just to see if I could get to 5000, I couldn't but it was still worth a try lol

this is one of my fave game jam games so far!

Love Dance by chispaLBC 2024-10-24T05:52:03Z

The expression is really funny and it's made even better by the fact that it stays the same no matter what pose the character does.

I also thought the sounds being actual directions but heavily edited was a nice touch!

The game feels very responsive especially with the animations that do a great job at giving visual feedback. the music was very nice too!

great entry!

Play With Me by gord10ahmet 2024-10-25T02:48:56Z

I really liked the presentation here, it felt very authentic to the tamagotchi. the graphics the music the minigames are all on point. It's a really inspired choice that both manages to stay on theme and be fun at the same time

the horror element was also nicely done, I didn't find it particularly scary but it's still a cool touch nonetheless, it kind of reminds me of some other games like Pony Island

really good entry

Animal Golfing by Andreadbx 2024-10-09T13:55:32Z

Very fun game, I like the polygonal style it's well done and pleasant to look at

I really liked the combination of golf and magical abilities, with enough practice I feel like I can get better scores with some practice. All the holes were designed in a really intuitive and fun way way that encourages creativity and use of the whole moveset.

overall very polished and nice, great entry!

KingdomOS by mr.kvinter 2024-10-24T08:43:15Z

I enjoyed this entry, I always like this sort of in universe contextualizing like the ui being displayed on the computer and the sticky notes. the game's style is great and immersive. The music is a bit repetitive, would have been nice if there was a longer track.

the gameplay loop is nice, I died on my first 2 tries but then I managed to win. it's a solid resource management game

good entry!

Purrfect Drift by Rewzu 2024-10-21T16:54:28Z

I had to check the game when I saw the designs of the cats, they look so silly!

very fun and chaotic tho I wish the bumping force was a bit less aggressive. I found the thuds to be very funny, tho I wish there were a bit more sound effects

very good for 2 days!

Head'quarters by YogurtTheHorse 2024-10-24T23:28:24Z

Wow the pixelart in this game is absolutely fantastic, there's so much detail and care put into the the presentation of the game, ridiculously impressive for just 3 days!! the idea is also very creative, using the tiny guys to control the body of a robot/alien? not entirely sure, but either way very inspired. I also love the alien language it's such a cool touch, music and sound design are also fantastic

the gameplay loop is fun, the difficulty increase is fair and well balanced. I played it multiple times to see if I could finish it in a shorter time, it got a little stressful to manage things as it went on but it was still very fun. it's a simple but effective

this is one of my favorite entries as far as graphics, I hope it ranks very high cuz it deserves to!

A Bug's Wife by Aurailus 2024-10-22T20:22:17Z

Yippie!! super cute, loved and the artstyle and the puzzles were the right difficulty

Springtail by KeithSwanger 2024-10-21T22:23:36Z

this game is awesome, one of my favorites from the jam jam

I really enjoyed playing it. I felt compelled to try again and again, I didn't give up till I completed it legit, even if if it took me a long time.

It's also genuinely so cool to see the progression of the speedrun in the comments, I think that shows the potential this entry has as a speedrun game if you consider expanding on it and making it a full release

Zanymen: Tiny Town by Brainloaf Studio 2024-10-24T16:01:23Z

really enjoyed it, a fun 2d take on animal crossing. the art is great and I thought the designs were pretty funny too! I played it for a while just to see what kind of villagers I would get and how the babies would look lol.

like some others said I wish going commands was a bit more streamlined, but other than that I liked it, it's cozy and chill.

great entry!

The Rubber Room by Danial Jumagaliyev 2024-10-25T04:18:43Z

OH MY GOD I remember playing the other game last year!! this is the sequel I didn't know I needed. Loved this one, it's genuinely so fun.

the gameplay is engaging and addictive. I really like that you have to take a risk in order to get the rewards, but they are very useful so it's worth trying. I had so much playing catch with the cheese and throwing the exploding rats into the swarm was very satisfying

Also The voice acting is silly but in the best way

this is genuinely one of the most fun games I have played so far, you did very well on this game, congrats!

Planet Maxim by danielkozlov 2024-10-25T05:00:00Z

The game has a strange and quirky charm that I really like. the cutscene was really funny and the killing animations were great too! I love the combination or aesthetics here. Also the music that plays is awesome I love it

The gameplay loop is really fun, the difficulty ramps up pretty quick, but I had a blast trying to beat my high score, I like that there's some amount of strategy to using the different powers.

really good entry! I had fun

Pom Planet by LittleBlackDog 2024-10-25T08:56:33Z

Very good puzzle game, I really liked the style of the game, the pixelart is rally good and does a great job at making it feel like an alien world, especially with the track that plays

the levels were designed clever ways and made use of the stage gimmicks in fun ways. I really like the tile moving mechanic, it allows for a lot of creativity. I probably solved a lot of the puzzles in ways that weren't intended lol. I tried to go for rainbow on all levels, I gave up on 20 because I failed too many times

I enjoyed this entry a lot!

Blob, To the Top! by MetRiko 2024-10-25T03:48:11Z

very interesting concept, reminds me a bit of World of Goo, especially with the blob characters. very nice atmosphere, liked the game's overall style

I found it rather challenging to play especially in the later levels. but it's still fun and I felt compelled to keep on trying. I eventually got to a level that proved to be a bit too difficult for me lol. the controls and the physics feel very nice tho I wish the pull was just a bit stronger

good entry, I enjoyed it!

GARDEN RUSH by Wyvex 2024-10-09T15:19:19Z

Super fun, I loved it, my favorite part is the artstyle, it's very cute and eye catching, love the birbs

the gameplay is fun, I did have some problems at first with placing the birbs on the cards but eventually i got it. I got 348 on a run but I feel like if I gave it another try I could get more

good entry!

Tiny Checkers by thyoi 2024-10-10T13:07:20Z

I always love to see what you do next, this may be my favorite game I have played form you, the amount of depth and polish here is insane, you managed to make each piece mechanically useful well balanced and unique. they play off of each other wonderfully. I love that on top of that you can take both a defensive and a offensive approach to winning, it makes the game so fun and replayable. I don't know how you managed to do all of this in just 2 days.

I couldn't finish the last level, I tried but it was far too difficult for my brain to manage everything in the most efficient way lol

The presentaion is also incredible as usual, you have such a pleasant minimalistic style for these that works perfectly. it's also a very creative use of the theme

This is one of my favorite games form the jam so far

HelioBacter by HelperWesley 2024-10-24T22:59:37Z

I wanted to check out this game because the the pixelart looks absolutely amazing, it certainly didn't disappoint. I really like the organic theme, it really helps the game stand out

I like how the tower defense gameplay is handled here by being more interactive and requiring you to walk around the level in order to place the traps, its a very interesting idea. it took me a bot to realize that I need to walk over the eyes for the cheaper traps to work.

the gameplay loop is fun and the difficulty is balanced

good entry I enjoyed it!

Shrimpy by Kultuk 2024-10-21T18:40:36Z

simple and fun it's a fun arcade-y game! I liked the pixelart as well as the music, both very nice. the controls felt responsive and the game is very polished! I think it would be even more fun if there was an endless mode too

Very good entry!

Autopsy Center Simulator by Roroto Sic 2024-10-24T21:27:15Z

this is such an interesting and cool take on the theme. we initially thought of something kind of similar initially but ultimately we went with something else. It's great to see this kinda concept fully fleshed out

There's so many great little details, the sound effects really sell the vibe.

I thought the gameplay was really cool, having to figure out the cause of death. Sometimes when I try to grab the bugs they seem to glitch and just stay somewhere on the screen. I also had the game crash once but after that it didn't happen again.

great entry!

Beelzebub's Curse: Double Barrel Breakout by Kabura 2024-10-21T15:57:31Z

Very fun!

the pixel art is well done, the mood is there, the gameplay loop is simple but compelling.

good entry!

Candy Quest by Lautaro Q 2024-10-21T19:05:44Z

Very charming, I really enjoyed the halloween theming, keeps in spirit with the season.

The art is very nice and I enjoyed the story, I thought it was very cute!

RPigG by WeirdBitGames 2024-10-09T16:04:39Z

super fun game, the gameplay loop is very addictive and the gameplay has a satisfying amount of depth. I really like the flexibility of the game allowing you to spin at any time! it was very easy to understand every mechanic , it felt intuitive.

the artstyle is also great, it's simple but very cute and well done! same with the sound effects they were satisfying

I didn't get very far into the game but I really enjoyed it, great entry!

Mooovement Game by MarkAis 2024-10-09T17:05:22Z

This game is both so hilarious and fun, I especially loved the tutoriaL included. very helpful cow tips, will like subscribe and share with friends

I genuinely had such a blast, this is one of the bets games I have played so far

excellent entry

Critter Season by Trezark 2024-10-24T05:25:25Z

the presentation is great, I like the designs and I also liked how it sets the mood effectively. The winter feels appropriately harsh especially with the added fact that some villagers may die of starvation,

I liked the tower defense gameplay and this is a pretty creative way to contextualize it, there was a point where the game got too hard and the towers weren't enough to defend from the enemies anymore

great entry!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-09T12:25:26Z

thanks everyone for the feedback!

@tryam We didn't have time to implement some options but we may release a patch that will add those soon as well as make some small tweaks to the controls and enemies

@skbadger congrats haha that's higher than I got

@lucy-z Thanks a lot! I am happy that people like the artstyle I put together so far

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-09T15:40:54Z

@andymetoo LMAO yea don't worry I also have done that a few times in the heat of the game, especially cuz I have multiple screens, I'm happy you enjoyed the game tho!

Also thanks for the complements on the artsyle!!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-09T15:44:48Z

@nick-halstead Glad you enjoyed it, the enemies are a bit frustrating because we didn't have enough time to balance it out properly. the red tint is actually some weird bug that only appears on the web version lol, I am not sure exactly why it's happening but I'll let the team know about it, thanks either way!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-09T15:52:12Z

@hakimallazi haha yea, the grapple really makes things fun,

About the artsyle, I can see a little what you mean about the background being just slightly distracting, that's on of the reasons why we added the shaders on the frog sprite

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-10T00:01:47Z

@she-wrote The water is kinda the only thing we could come up with on the spot for a death barrier, I know it's a little bit counter intuitive but I think people understood either way. sadly we didn't have much time to make the enemies more in depth, including ways to defeat them, we had to scrap some others too. I am happy you still enjoyed it tho!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-10T00:04:41Z

@yufan-lu omg thanks, I am actually super proud of how the water turned out, it was kind of a difficult edit to make and I wasn't sure if I could pull it off to this quality

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-11T20:03:23Z

@pious I am glad you enjoyed the game! Also here's an explanation form our main coder Dom on how he made the grapple

"I have an independent static body that launches out in a direction, and when it hits a spot, it puts the user into a grappling state where they're sent going straight for the point of grappling

When get within around 50 pixels of range of that point or collide with something, if they're moving upwards, they do a little jump which helps with platforming and also feels better"

Hope it helps!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-13T17:08:46Z

@thyoi heck yea, thanks for the art and I am glad you enjoyed it!!

Small Problems To Grapple With by Tetracold 2024-10-25T06:24:02Z

@aurailus thanks a lot for the feedback! you're totally right about the camera, I guess none of us thought of that while making the game lol

Also it makes me very happy that you liked the artstyle, I wanted it to be interesting and seeing such a positive reaction is amazing

Get Souped! by LChaves 2024-10-24T18:37:48Z

very fun game, very inspired and fitting take on the theme. I really liked the artstyle, it's what caught my eye. I also liked that the little guys say yippie everytime

Gameplay loop is fun, controls feel polished, I like the balance between keeping the citizens not infected and preventing the infected from getting in the soup. I don't seem to be very good at the game I can't get more than a C rank, maybe with some practice I can get better at it haha

good entry!

Bactoria by GiomomoGiovanna 2024-10-24T19:11:12Z

Really liked the art it was very nicely done, loved the pastel colors and the texturing. the music was great as well!

I enjoyed the gameplay, I found the difficulty to be pretty easy, but it was still it felt polished and pretty straight forward

nice entry!

Tardigrade Travels: A Tardigrade's Terrifyingly Terrific Traversal Through Time! by Plasmak 2024-10-24T16:31:17Z

I think this is the first time I see a educational jam game! it's a really fun creative and well executed idea. the artstyle, the cutscenes and the humor are all great. I also thought it was clever to use the water bear's resilience as invincibility from damage

also is that a high pitched oof sound when the water bear gets hurt? If so that I thought that was funny

I really enjoyed this one, great entry

TinyWar by Iaroslavik 2024-10-24T06:01:11Z

funny premise, the artsyle is nice too, I dig some of the rougher look of some of the sprites and the backgrounds are good and nicely detailed.

I wish the enemy detection range was handled a bit better as I tried to lure enemies to spots in order to deal damage but I was not able to. I figured some strats but that would have been nice, also the hitboxes were a bit wonky, I would sometimes take damage even if the enemy wasn't visually close to me

still enjoyable tho, solid entry!

Mioritza by Evghenia 2024-10-09T10:00:11Z

I wanted to check out the game because the title and art caught my attention. I am familiar with this ballad as it's originating from my country. It's super cool to see some Romanian representation, very unique and fun take on the theme.

I really like the artstyle and presentation, it is very stand out and pretty. simple but really charming entry, I rlly liked it

Mioritza by Evghenia 2024-10-11T10:17:00Z

@gudkova-ds I use Twitter the most, that's where I post and follow artists

Quackling Rescue by Laywelin 2024-10-13T15:49:42Z

Very cute little game, I liked the artstyle, it reminds me a bit of Paper Mario! The quirky varied designs ducklings is a nice little touch too, makes them stand out. I also liked that the whole soundtrack was just quacks, that a funny touch lol.

The gameplay was nice for the short length, there was a decent variety in the level design even if rather simple to beat. I got both endings, I like the way it was presented like a kids story, makes it more charming and cute

good entry!

The Fish that Figured it Out by Dean Goodson 2024-10-13T17:07:00Z

I am taking a bit of a break from work so I checked out the game because I saw a post and the artstyle and name caught my attention.

This was the perfect game to play, just relaxing and nice and the the presentation is excellent feel too. It's/ pleasant to look at and cozy especially with the pastel color palette. The music was also great, subtle and it didn't get old even by the time I finished.

I really enjoy games with the simple gameplay loop of buying upgrades and slowly seeing things move more efficiently, it's very satisfying.

Great entry!

Gustave in Paris by gabomax 2024-10-24T17:37:44Z

Super fun take in the theme the gameplay loop is very engaging and the right amount of chaotic, really enjoyed the loop of gathering ingredients and cooking them fast. I played for a while because I felt compelled to beat my high score. the game feels responsive and very polished, I missed some throws but it was my mistake

the presentation is amazing, love the Paper Mario inspired look, it's also pretty creative with the french theming

really good entry!

Stuart's Perfect Day by James Poole 2024-10-21T16:08:49Z

Loved the vibes of the game, simple and relaxing. the artstyle and music relly helped with that, both very nice! the fish names were funny too

good entry

Poppet by Emsea 2024-10-24T07:57:41Z

loved it, the horror atmosphere is great, the visual style is awesome with the filter and the ps1 look. The sound effect work is excellent, really elevates the spookiness. It's a creative and fun take on the theme! It took me a bit to get used to the gameplay loop, identifying all the clues in time and exploring the environment to find all the tools I could use, but once I did I really enjoyed it.

The only only problem is interacting with things and putting them down took a bit to get used to especially because it doesn't always work

really good entry, I enjoyed it a lot!

Bodega Bandit by BoxedVodka 2024-10-24T04:55:30Z

cute little game, liked the artstyle and the expressions of the characters were great

wish there was a bit more to do, maybe a few other locations with different layouts but it's still good for what it is

solid entry

Gramlins by matchaberi 2024-10-22T20:51:48Z

this is just like me fr, always needing caffeine it's a simple game but it is nice for what it is, I liked the art and the music was good too, it would've be cool if there was at least one more mechanic to shake things up a bit, I saw you are preparing an update so I will look forward to playing that

Stolen Colors by The Spinning Sofa 2024-10-21T18:23:40Z

very fun! at first i didn't really understand what I was supposed to do but I did and I felt stupid for not getting it lmao

The artstyle is really good! cute designs, very strong presentation, interesting. The music, some really nice bangers in here.

there's a lot of depth to the gameplay and I found it compelling. I managed t get to the very end once I understood all the mechanics

vary good entry!

I'm a Porter for the Worst Dungeon Party in the World by cpaz 2024-10-13T19:30:23Z

Very funny and creative take on the theme, I really like the the idea and it's executed greatly the with the slightly wonky AI that sometimes aims for you and the the stupid voicelines, it really captures the mood perfectly.

The designs are so silly I love them. the whole presentation is strong. Only thing is that I wish there were a few more voicelines for each character for the sake of variety because it did get a bit old hearing the same few voicelines by the end

At first I found it slightly frustrating but then I started learning how to use the mechanics more and more, there was a pretty surprising amount of depth, I guess I did carry the whole team in the end LOL

great entry!

Fishfestation by ProstoCupOfTea 2024-10-13T17:42:45Z

Checked the game out because the character art caught my attention, it's rlly cool!

The game was funny, I enjoyed the creative take on the theme. the levels were pretty easy and I wish there was at least one or 2 that would offer a bit more of a challenge. but that isn't a big problem because a lot of the other elements made it enjoyable

Good entry!

Horseless Headman by SwanBoat 2024-10-10T13:57:17Z

I just need to say that The artstysle of this game instantly caught my attention, it's amazing and deserving of all the praise.

The design work is amazing and very creative with a very eyecatching and memorable main character. The idea of using chess as an aesthetic is super cool and inspired

I love the use of color here with red being a dominant color contrasting with the monochrome tones it really makes it stand out.

The animation is fluid and very dynamic, it honestly seems insane for just 3 days

The gameplay complements the style beautifully, it helps the animation shine. a little simple but that's not necessarily bad, it's still well designed and fun even for it's short length.

This is hands down my favorite jam game as far as visuals, I am impressed

Cricetus Crevice by MagnesiumNinja 2025-04-10T11:21:01Z

Very nice and atmospheric, both the art direction and sound design is really great here!I like ho the elements glow and contrast nicely with the very dark environment by adding some color

the physics feel very nice and the mechanic is creative, felt encouraged to see if I could skip certain parts by taking advance of the physics anchoring myself in just the right spots and I am resourceful with my pins.

Bedrock Rush by superjai 2025-04-12T05:08:43Z

super fun and addictive, very easy to pick up an play, one of my fave leaderboard games I played so far. love the chaotic nature and the trick mechanic

The artsyle is also very fun

Kika's Eggsplosive Descent by kazuo256 2025-04-11T19:57:16Z

Really like the visuals, they make the game stand out and add a lot of charm. The gameplay is simple but addictive and it makes me wanna go back even tho a few times I exploded from bombs above even tho I thought I'd be safe

The Cleaner of the depth by Egor Iv 2025-04-11T10:31:39Z

The artstyle is amazing, it's full of charm and very pretty, I love how the logo spells out eat when it falls apart, it's a very cool touch!

the gameplay was pretty hard to understand at first but I eventually got what the game wanted from me, tho there doesnt's seem to be an end goal? or at the very least I haven't gotten to the end. either way I love the presentation super chaming, one of my fave games in terms of style

Hadal by ColeSlaughter 2025-04-12T03:39:32Z

Super fun! Really like the movement!

I played it for a while to see if I could get anything higher than 1:30 but that's about the best I could do

Hollowspire by simex 2025-04-11T04:47:13Z

I loved the style of this game so much, this may be my favortite resource gathering game I have played all jam.

The shift from peaceful and calm to dark and ominous in visuals and atmosphere is such a cool idea, and I loved the hand drawn artstyle everything has, it's super charming and gives the game a lot of personality. I also thought taking care of the little guys by giving each of them tools was really cute, it really felt like I had a team of goobers helping me.

it feels so satisfying to click because of the animations the pointer and the great sound design. I thought the length was just right, not too short and not too long, and the general presentation and feel of the interactive elements did a fantastic job keeping me hooked

anomalous source by GuitarBro 2025-04-12T06:30:47Z

The mood here is amazing, I love the slight world building and the setting feels very mysterious and cool. you captured perfectly that abandoned vibe, it makes me think of gmod maps almost

I like that the exploration is encouraged by the main mechanic, it's pretty clever design.

the sound design is also great

Clambell's Great Escape by botwoj 2025-04-12T09:18:00Z

Simple but great! I really like the style and for some reason I found the clam skeleton death animation to be pretty funny

The game is pretty easy and the design is simple but it does use the mechanic effectively

The Chromatic Window by egawag 2025-04-10T05:55:14Z

This was a fantastic! it's clear you guys are very passionate about making games and it shows trough the way you talk about your experience together throughout the years

I can honestly relate with this as an artist with a love for games and a dream of one day making a big project that will mean something to people, it makes me feel inspired to keep working and improving, I am looking forward to see your future work

thanks for sharing your experience

Drilling in the Deep by Jiri Hysek 2025-04-11T02:10:35Z

Very polished, I liked the mix of resource gathering and and tower defense gameplay.

The presentation is also awesome, really good and clean artstyle and I like I like the darker tones, really sells the deep sea vibes

Sinking of you by Re-Markable 2025-04-11T02:49:22Z

Very funny and creative take on the theme, the puzzles were rather easy but I appreciated that because it also meant I could get to the voice acted parts quicker so I can hear more of the story. That was definitely the highlight for me

DESCEND with CAUTION by LightningST 2025-04-10T03:54:55Z

I really liked the mechanics and how the game was set up as a continuous level with checkpoints, it really helps sell the idea of going deep, The difficulty escalation felt just right.it gets pretty difficult at the end but not to the point where it becomes frustrating

The level gimmicks and hazards are introduced really well, it all felt intuitive

The minimalistic presentation ahs a lot of charm, the CRT is a very nice touch

Sokobound by farzher 2025-04-11T03:59:34Z

I really like it but but most of these puzzles are way to difficult for me to figure out LOL, I tried but I gave up at depth 1234, I do enjoy it a lot. The game feels fair it's more just a skill thing on my part. would have been really nice with some sfx

Granny's Gotcha by Joscco 2025-04-11T10:08:38Z

Loved the artstyle and writing it's super charming and cute!! like all the silly goofy things grandma has in her purse, some even make me question what grandma's up to especially with all those different identities lol.

I also really like how the theme was used here it's creative. I enjoyed the puzzles, I thought they were the right about of difficulty

DeepFrame 9 by JavaSaurus 2025-04-11T11:17:08Z

Love the way the game feels it's very satisfying and responsive, nailing those shots and crashing though the floor with force while being really big feels so cool. It's very addictive, everytime I give it another try I make it just a bit more far and the awesome music also keeps me motivated to go as fast as I can

d6 pool by Uzpykes 2025-04-11T06:51:40Z

really creative use of mechanics, it's a very interesting take on the theme, loved how depth was used here and the twist on the game of pool. the dice once rolled and landed on a corner and it softlocked the game, but that's the only time I encountered a bug.

Holy Moly! by Thomas_Bringer 2025-04-11T10:51:27Z

very cool artstyle and I really enjoyed the feel of the gameplay, the movement and the animations felt very responsive. the only thing is that wish the hunter's attacks were a bit better telegraphed, they just kind of happen and I took some hits because of it.

I also like the addition of destructible environment a lot

I can see this being expanded upon nd being turned into a really fun game

Slip Stream by Profugo Barbatus 2025-04-11T08:50:23Z

Love the artstyle, the character designs are great! the concept is funny and something I haven't really seen done in this way, it's very charming and also funny. this could be a pretty cool management game if it were expanded on

Murder for Dessert by Fupi 2025-04-11T04:05:33Z

I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the art is cute and the music. It's a cool little mystery with a funny premise and some of the writing was pretty good too!

I liked the pin mechanic, it's an interesting way yo go about making a game like this, it encourages deducting thins on your own. There were a few moments where I kinda got suck but idk if it was just me not really being able to put some things together that easily but I eventually got to the end thanks to some of the tips

Murder for Dessert by Fupi 2025-04-11T05:22:09Z

@fupi

I'll try, keep in mind that I am not really familiar or experienced with this genre of game The main one where I got suck is the part where I was supposed to confront penny about the time she started her shift, I had a feeling that the time frames may be important in some way but I wasn't exactly sure how and it didn't really put 2 and 2 together. mostly because I didn't really think of what penny said as time frame related.

Maybe part of it was also that I was trying to look too deep into some lines, I kinda got caught up in the first part on finding holes in richard's story and also billy and and it wasn't really bringing me anywhere because I was supposed to progress with a different character first. that's something that kinda threw me off a few times, I was gather info that to me sounded like something i should check should immediately check because I thought it would help me advance but I was either not doing it in the right order or I was missing a character that I was supposed to check on first

I was able to get through the 2nd half a lot easier

Again I feel like a lot of it was just lots of confusion on my part, a lot of the things made a lot sense to me after I went through them

Going Down Protocol by Ein 2025-04-10T01:38:52Z

Loved the atmosphere and style! How it increasingly gets more messed up as you go down

The puzzles felt intuitive, I was a able to figure out everything on my own. I really like how the limited space of the elevator was used hide the puzzles in pretty clever ways

Dwingles by Pomo 2025-04-11T07:32:44Z

Loved it!!

It's a really funny idea, I love all the silly voicelines and the secret easter egg was also super funny, I dedicated the past 20 or so minutes to getting a high score, I am just shy of top 10, maybe if I try a bit more I can get something better lol

Dwingles...

Deep Fry by thyoi 2025-04-09T20:53:14Z

Super cute loved the artsyle as usual, I like the level of interactivity! very cute and relaxing vibes

The game moved at just the right pace to keep me engaged, I love the twist it took with using ui elements as ingredients, I found it really funny and creative, the ending was also great.

I somehow managed to softlock myself on the first run, not sure how I did it. The game is very polished tho!

High Pressure Arena by HexStart 2025-04-12T04:38:12Z

Very fun, I didn't get a very high score but I love how it plays, it's very polished

Also the presentation is great too love the color palette and style

O.R.B.I.T. by robin_schmitz 2025-04-11T09:43:29Z

Love the style of the game, it's very pretty visually and also the controls were really fun loved hooking to planets and launching myself in any direction I wanted, it made collecting the resources a really fun process, it's also a take on the theme I haven't seen done much. I

Explodicaves by ThatFirey 2025-04-10T11:26:17Z

really fun idea to use the rocket momentum for physics, tho I am not that good at it, I wasn't quite able to move as smoothly as I wished I could lol

The presentaion is great, I love the pixelart it's very well done and full of charm! it has a pretty unique style that helps it stand out which I like!

I found the bossfight was difficult but I eventually beat it after many tries

Star Spawn by AngstjaegerStudio904 2025-04-11T03:00:48Z

the art is great, I really like the designs, they are both cool and funny. The gameplay is nice tho it would have been cool if there was just a little bit more depth with the stats you could choose

I found some of the enemy sounds to be a bit loud I would have appreciated if there were sound settings so I could lower the sfx volume a bit but it's not a huge deal.

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-08T05:49:49Z

@arkansaslover thanks for playing, I'm happy you liked the art!! I recommend trying hotfix as it fixes that bug and it allows the game to be played on a loop

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-08T17:33:47Z

@catusfelony thanks for the feedback! I am happy you enjoyed it!

looks like you encountered one of the nightmare version of the typing minigame lol. There is an easy version of the minigame where you need to only type 3 letter words. We planned mechanic where the game will give you hard nightmare versions of the dreams based on how well you are currently performing but we couldn't finish it in time so we just made it so there's a random chance of encountering it. there's a few more nightmare minigames you can find if you keep playing

For the key minigame you have to drag at the top of the screen to spin around the keys, then use correct shaped key by grabbing it putting it in the key's mouth. I had a bit of a problem with finding a way to communicate that one clearly, we will most likely change entirely how that one works.

We wanted to fix the stack one but we realized way too late that sometimes it spawns the ingredients too far apart.

Not sure what's up with the statue of liberty one, I guess sometimes it does that even tho when testing it always showed up the last 10th. its longer because it's supposed to be a boss fight, so it would make more sense pacing wise if you got it at the very end. But it's fine I don't mind as longa s people get to play it

but as long as people get to try it I don't mind that much

The game is endless, the nightmare minigames were the ones to scale up the difficulty as you went

The pacing issue and others will be fixed in the post jam

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-10T06:15:32Z

@retonymy yea we noticed one of the trim minigame leaves is broken and we will fix it in a future post jam update.

I am really glad you enjoyed the dream vs nightmare aesthetic we had a lot of fun coming up with ideas for that, we really wanted to take it into a ironic "creepypasta / .exe" direction because we thought it would be hilarious to but we didn't have enough time to do all the jokes we wanted to.

Also thanks for likining my stupid Ludum Dare joke lol

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-10T06:37:36Z

@python-b5 thanks for the feedback! the bossfight shows up multiple times because the game is score based and keeps cycling though the minigames including the bossfight itself.

some of the minigames ended up being a little less optimized or well explained than others, it's something we will work on in a future update. the artstyle variation/inconsistency is a deliberate choice on my part, I wanted each minigame to feel different because I thought it would be more charming and also closer to how WarioWare does it. It was also an excuse for me to practice some different styles

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-10T06:40:31Z

@Yanzhi thanks for liking the art!!

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-10T06:46:09Z

@Joscco ty!! Glad you enjoyed it, also thanks for liking the art direction!it's awesome to see that it's clicking with people

it definitely as a lot of work and a lot of it didn't even make it into the game, but we will definitely release an update with more content

also thanks for the feedback!

Rapid Eye Microgames by Tetracold 2025-04-12T22:54:43Z

@fupi

I only noticed that's an issue once I send it around to streamers to play, for some it worked perfectly, including me and the team, but for others it gave them a lot of trouble and it also made the mouse glitch out in some really bad cases

I'll bring it up with the programmer to see what we could do about it, maybe it's something we can get fixed in the post jam, I'm sorry you had to deal with that, its not something I predicted could happen.

have you tried the windows build on itch? maybe that helps

Flatline by Empyreans 2025-04-10T01:56:16Z

I really enjoyed it, it was pretty difficult but it never felt like the game was unfair, it made me want to get better with my movement. the levels explore the mechanics in fun ways and there's a lot of variety in the level design.

I also think it's an interesting take on the theme and I liked that there was a little narrative going throughout every level. The presentation and music as a whole is great nice loop. The only thing I am not too big on is the repetition of the voicelines but it isn't that big of a deal

GUTS! by Jack12342 2025-04-12T05:56:44Z

short but sweet! I enjoyed the sliding sections as well as the funny opening and

I also thought the take on the theme on the theme is pretty interesting and stand out

We're at the bottom by ChiFu 2025-04-10T04:35:14Z

Loved the humor, very clever and funny, reminded me of Stanley Parable. the puzzles weren't hard to figure out but they were very fun and meta

It's cool how you still managed to incorporate the current theme in a cool way I also like that you left that in as a joke at the end about initially planning for the doors theme LOL

it's not often that I find a jam game that I find genuinely funny but this one did it very well

Hello Darkness by Emsea 2025-04-10T08:53:03Z

The visual style and presentation is great, definitely nailed that sort of claustrophobic feeling! the 1 bit is a nice touch that adds lot

I understood the gameplay pretty easily and I found the gameplay look to be fun

this was my score hello darkness screenshot.PNG

into the forest depths by Fliegen 2025-04-11T19:40:33Z

Very cool artsyle, love the designs and the presentation!

I also like the Fear and Hunger limb severing mechanic, it's an element that offers enough depth to the combat to where it feels satisfying to go back and try different starts

It would be even better if it had some music or a more fleshed out story to help me be more invested in the world

. by protzz 2025-04-11T21:06:43Z

This game is awesome, I don't really have something lse to say that hasn't been said already, love the style, the mechanics are cool, it's very good for 48 hours, good luck on developing the steam release!

Descend by artemco 2025-04-10T04:59:27Z

:krutoblin:

I liked it simple but fun! also that ending was so funny it I did not expect that at all but it's exactly the kinda joke I love

Abimes by Kessel Nebula 2025-04-10T02:21:28Z

OMG I love the art in this game, it's so good!!

there isn't much here as far as gameplay gameplay but I can tell there was a lot of work put into the way the game visually flows. it's so cool how it starts form the dark and cold feeling environment and it slowly transitions to the warm and bright tones as you go, as well as the little aquatic present getting a little bit more alien looking. The final section feels very comforting and peaceful. it's real visual treat and a great payoff for making it to the end.

This is one of my fave game stylistically, congrats to the the artists!!

Luck Runs Out by Tenzz 2025-04-12T04:21:20Z

Loved it , it hit really close for me

I have went through a similar journey of pulling myself out of the pit I fell in for the past year and it feels very comforting to see a game touch on this kinda problem, thanks for making this

Race Through the Depths by Cure 2025-04-11T02:43:08Z

I was determined to get a good run but it wasn't really going well or me lol, I only got silver. Maybe I 'll try it again later.

it's a fun short challenging speed game and I like that

Flushed away by IDos 2025-04-11T21:56:24Z

I like the style, it took me a bit to understand the movement, it would have been nice if the jump mechanics would have been explained, but eventually I got how the arc works by playing around.

I also thought the green water was something I could swim in just to fall right through it, I think making it look more threatening or have some sort of danger sign would have helped a lot to convey that it shouldn't be interacted with

Record Depth by Indiealesha 2025-04-11T04:18:03Z

This captures that flash game from the late 2000s vibe so well, it feels like something straight out of Newgrounds. Love the attention to detail to capture that exact aesthetic like the pixelated art and the excessive amount of gore. the only thing that could have made even better is if the sfx and music were lower quality. I love the increasingly absurd scenarios for the arm donations they were really funny. everytime I went back to swim I was screaming YEA YOU CAN DO IT!!

This may be one of my favorite entries becasue it does such a good job achieving exactly what it's going for

Bottomless Tetris by 4our5ay 2025-04-11T02:44:47Z

LOL I respect the dedication to the joke

Beneath The Crust by Kahztein 2026-05-05T00:22:53Z

super satisfying and addictive gameplay, it's simple but it works really well

SYNCROBAN by Flatgub 2026-05-04T17:02:35Z

really cool and interesting implementation of the theme in the mechanics, it took me a bit to get used to how it controls but after that the game was very smartly designed and I liked that it constantly introduced fun expansions on the mechanics. I only wish there was a undo button but other than that it's a great puzzle game

the style and presentation are also really strong here, good pixelart and catchy music

The Lighthouse by Iluvatar 2026-05-03T17:15:18Z

really enjoyed it, the pixelart work is great and the story is engaging too, it managed to keep me hooked despite being relatively short. the mood is definitely there and I also thought the voice acting was a cool touch.

Sneaky Signals by almost 2026-05-05T12:32:40Z

love the clever spin on the card game here, it both adds so much personality to the presentation and it's also just an interesting idea that I haven't seen a lot of before. very cool way to integrate the theme

I really like the style in particular. The choice for cats as the characters is really cute, it instantly reminded me of the dogs playing poker paintings

Apollo's Gift by dikkop 2026-05-04T20:24:14Z

it took me a sec to understand the core mechanic but once I did it was actually pretty enjoyable and I thought understanding the melodies to identify the impostor was cool, tho I wish there was some sort of escalation in difficulty as the game is pretty simple

Signal Weave by alexhonor 2026-04-22T13:32:12Z

Really like it, despite the artsyle being minimal I think it's done really well here and it complements the vibe it's going for. the gameplay is nice too I enjoy he core mechanic it's an interesting take and it has enough depth to stay engaging

Tiny Signal Lost by Strega 2026-04-22T09:36:19Z

this is a great puzzle game, the artstyle is very cute and I really like how the signal mechanic is implemented, the puzzles explore it in satisfying and diverse ways. I am also impressed by the amount of options the game offers, that's not something I see very often for a jam game.

my only complaint is that I found the controls a little floaty and it made some of the jumps on the moving platforms a little difficult

Family channel by squirrelsoft 2026-05-04T19:52:54Z

Really fun artstyle! I like the combination of meme elements with the paper craft sort of look, it makes the game stand out

the endings were really funny and I think the game manages to use the simple mechanic well

TellyBuddy by ColeSlaughter 2026-04-22T08:18:48Z

Another awesome entry like usual!

The presentation is fantastic, it's both weird and evocative of the 90s in the best way possible! The shaders are done beautifully, love how the antenna and slapping the tv influences the signal

I thought the videos/commercials were both really funny and also well integrated with puzzles. The clues were communicated well, I didn't get stuck on any of them for long.

Cyber Rogue Waves by tenshi42 2026-05-03T19:41:53Z

this is a really good game, it's got style good music and a really fun take on the theme! at first I didn't understand what the stats on the left were but then I realized it's values that influence the physics of the rooms which I though was really cool actually. the gameplay here is addictive and there is a satisfying amount of variety and depth with the stats that change the behavior of the bullets. I did discover that you can softlock the game by killing an enemy form outside the room when I was pretty deep in a run, an then I did it a few more times by accident

Meina's Train Cruise by Oradimi 2026-05-02T20:33:44Z

I enjoyed it, especially the style! even if the gameplay is simple I thought the mechanic is engaging enough for for what the game is going for!

Petalgrams by chelC 2026-04-22T11:02:49Z

Love the artstyle! it's very cute, I like when games have mixed media styles I always find it fun

it would be useful if the clues were a bit more clear, I did decent in the first half, but when all the flowers got added the text got covered, which made that one order impossible to read. that's also around the time when i started finding the clues for the orders a bit too vague

I think the game is good! It just needs to be a little more clear and specific what emotions the customers are trying to communicate imo. The colors help but sometimes they aren't enough, the wording itself pretty vague at times

Lit Up! by Fis 2026-04-22T13:25:21Z

I really got invested in speedrunning this one. At first I was a little confused about the ending, I thought it was kind of odd that you have to walljump like that, but then as I game it another try I understood the potential it had as a semi advanced strat.

Router Wilds by Brainoid 2026-05-02T21:50:38Z

Loved it, super creative use of the mechanic, I enjoyed it form beginning to end. the presentation and the music are also great, it's just all around an amazing entry.

I definitely died a lot more than I probably should have but it was fun LOL

Jim's Quest for Birthday present by Sobigdrasil 2026-05-04T15:09:00Z

Loved it super cute wholesome game, the presentation is amazing and it really evokes that sense of wonder it's going for

I think the jam version itself is very polished. The game is simple but that's just fine, I really enjoyed it!

Super Signal by Marcus Otterstrom 2026-05-03T02:47:21Z

I enjoyed it's stylish and funny take n the theme, the gameplay is good and responsive although I thought the difficulty kinda fluctuated between easy and hard with the puzzles maybe some of the levels could have been swapped for a smoother difficulty curve

LiNX Elektrika by Cardboard Box 2026-04-22T13:29:18Z

Cute game I think the style is on point!

like many others I got stuck on level 2 and I couldn't complete it, unfortunately it seems like sometimes enemies either trap you and in between you and it's somewhat unpredictable or for the worm type it sometimes picked paths that were dead ends and I couldn't do anything to dodge it

I would love to play a version of this game that makes the difficulty a little more manageable

LiNX Elektrika by Cardboard Box 2026-05-02T21:07:49Z

@cardboard-box I replayed the game with the hints in mind and it definitely helped a lot, I also think the newgrounds version has a lot better difficulty balance in general, really liked it :)

Parasignal by HagamosVideojuegos 2026-05-07T23:15:14Z

love the aesthetic here a lot it's super well done and cool tho I am a little biased cuz we did something kinda similar for our game lol. I especially like that everything including the settings is diegetic design I am always a big fan of that

I think the idea here is great and the signal mechanic works semi well with the gameplay, I just wish the game was a bit longer, but I think what's there is good!

One criticism I have is that it would be nice if you could look at the written instructions closer/form a better angle cuz they are a bit hard to read, even if I didn't really need them

Wi-Fix It by DaniSerranu 2026-05-04T02:07:32Z

the presentation for this game is amazing especially the pixelart, it's really well made and the excellent animations really add a lot!

the game was challenging but not unfair, I actually enjoyed it! I thought the difficulty curve was excellent and there was a satisfying variety in the mechanics introduced. I thought the character controlled really good for the most part tho I do have a critique with the hitbox, due to it being rounded it causes the character to slide off sometimes if you stand/land on a corner. there's also a few leaps of faith and whine not the worst it's probably for the better to try to avoid it a game with a lot of obstacles like this

Mr. Signal by Ismael Rodriguez 2026-05-04T17:27:21Z

this game is awesome love the style is on point, love the strong ps1 influence with this one. the solar system theming is super cool and some of the details like passing through the non solid atmosphere of the planets. the music selection here is great too even if it isn't counted in the rating

the theme implementation is really interesting and fun, I haven't seen another game like it this jam. the gameplay is smooth at first I felt a little disorientated with where I had to aim but then I understood, love how nicely it controls. sometimes I would just fall short of reaching the satellite but it never felt unfair

UPLiNK Defender by Logic Monkey 2026-05-08T00:51:00Z

I enjoyed the game, the art is good and the gameplay loop is solid!

I wasn't able to finish it but it may be because I wasn't efficient enough with how I managed everything, it's really fun tho!

The Last Signal by DarthWaxus 2026-05-03T13:03:23Z

Love the presentation here I think it makes for a pretty strong set piece and it's also kind of a neat way to tie it into the theme

I gave it many tries but I couldn't make it past the half point. The game seems to be pretty unforgiving with the HP afforded and the enemy spawn. it also feels like the attack range should have be just a little bigger, some shots felt like they should have connected but they didn't and it has also caused me to get too close to the enemy and get hit. I think allowing the player just a bit more wiggle room would go a long way. At first I as a little thrown off by the swing direction being reversed but I eventually got used to it i just had to play several times so I don't actually have much of an issue with that in the end but imo it's a layer of difficulty that maybe should not be there since the game is already pretty hard

Crat by deadroach 2026-05-03T14:56:36Z

simple but cute, good art, the game is easy but I can see what it's going for. (and I like crat too)

Dragonia Siege by Euler Moises 2026-05-03T18:14:22Z

The NES inspiration is super charming and cute and I think the game manages to capture the feel of 8bit games very well and the style is very accurate too respecting the palettes and the sprite limitations.

it took me a bit to find every jewel but I finally managed to find them all and I thought some of them were pretty clever.

I also love the manual pages for the game it's such a cool touch, we tried to do kind of a similar thing for our game by capturing the feel of a certain era

Traincidents by YellowKamel 2026-05-04T21:11:05Z

very funny entry, loved the voice acting and the humor

I also thought the gameplay worked really well and it escalated nicely, for some reason at first I thought I should also avoid letting the trains collide but once I saw they just pass by each other it made it a lot less tense lol

LEFT ON RED by Lenny Rudeberg 2026-05-07T23:59:14Z

Ok so let's start with the good, I think the presentation and especially the humor here are strong, really funny premise. I think the concept of the gameplay is good but it needs some refining.

I found it a little frustrating that there doesn't seen to be any obvious visual que for when the dodgeballs are thrown like a more exaggerated throw animation, nor a few seconds of leeway for the player to realize another thrower just spawned.

I found the balls bouncing off the walls to actually be kind of annoying especially because they still hurt you if they touch you forcing you to sit somewhere in the middle. it would help a lot if they had a drop shadow underneath because there have been a few instances where I thought I wasn't in the way of a ball just to be hit by it. one more thing that would be nice is to have some kind of smear lines behind the ball to help better judge what direction they are traveling

the signal circles spawning close to the throwers would be fine if their appearance was telegraphed better but as is, if one spawns when you are in the circle it just guarantees you will get hit if you aren't quick enough. I think the phone gets thrown really far away, which I wouldn't mind so much but sometimes even out of bounds if you get hit somewhere close to the edge

Overall I think the base concept is solid but it definitely needs a lot of small tweaks ion order to make it feel nicer to play

New London 3D Turbo 2000 by Revetoon 2026-05-04T23:49:14Z

Absolutely loved it super polished and fun entry! the presentation is awesome and I can tell it has a lot of work put into it, there's a lot of cool details and it's very evocative if the era

I love that the gameplay keeps introducing new interesting mechanics and restrictions with each level! It stays fresh and it perfectly fits the fast pace of the game. I also really like that if something feels too hard you can just skip it by making it to the next check point, that's a great way to manage the difficulty

it controls super smooth and intuitive and I thought the tricks idea is awesome too

Star Smuggler by Wolfox121 2026-05-04T01:18:46Z

omg the art is amazing I really love the presentation! it's the strongest aspect of this entry and I love to see some furry representation too

the gameplay is good for the most part but it took me a lot a while to understand how the mask mechanics work and i still feel like I haven't fully grasped it. I think the fact that it is multiple parts and you have to figure out how to put them together based on intuition makes it more difficult than it should be

Drop da Myc by Kr0tyara 2026-04-22T14:28:10Z

Really liked the style and interesting use of the theme!

I also really appreciate that the game lets you skip I definitely made use of that feature on some of the puzzles lol (I am not very good at this type of game)

🐶ㅤ by thyoi 2026-05-02T20:04:32Z

Super cute artstyle and vibes as usual! even if it's a shorter game I enjoyed it and i liked the little surprise at the end

Dot Dash Mash by chybby 2026-05-03T16:33:51Z

really interesting integration of the theme through the picross gameplay. I also thought the text boxes being translated in morse was also a really cute touch

some of the later puzzles were too much for me, I just couldn't figure them out, but that's entirely a me problem. I liked the gameplay tho! I thought the puzzles did an excellent job keeping the gameplay fresh by introducing new twists and mechanics with each one

CRASHDAR by Roroto Sic 2026-05-03T22:26:41Z

I think it's really cool that it's an actual playable gameboy rom! I was initially confused with the mine field but I did eventually realize that I just have to load it all the maap and see where the gap actually was

I thought the presentation was really strong here considering it's an actual rom and the theme is integrated well

Plume Tactics by WeirdBitGames 2026-05-03T02:11:24Z

I like the overall concept, I think the smoke signal idea creative the way it's implemented as a rock paper scissor attack system. It could offer some interesting layers to the gameplay in a full game, I would like to see a more fleshed out version of this!

the presentation is also good!

Federal Bureau of Dance by drainkid 2026-04-22T08:58:06Z

Loved it!

The concept is both very funny and well executed. I really like the music centric mechanics, they are the highlight for me, I think it came together really good!

It took me a bit to get used to the flow of the gameplay, some of the combos are quite difficult but I get the general idea of what it's going for

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-04-22T14:19:56Z

@massivejack thanks for the feedback! we didn't have time to explain all the mechanics in game so I put it here on the ld post for now, we will fix that in an upcoming update.

As for the sounds, do you mean the volume is loud or are there too many sounds? You can lower the audio volume in the options menu if you need to

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-04-23T01:42:22Z

@drainkid it's because the ending sequence is missing as of right now so that last page kinda ends up being irrelevant, it will get fixed in the update tho!

I am happy that you noticed the Luigi's Mansion influence, that was my main inspiration, thanks for playing!

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-02T12:49:33Z

Hi! We just released a Post Jam version on Itch that hopefully addresses all the feedback! Some of the fixes and additions in the post jam version: -Fixed the control scheme and improved physics

-Added a pause menu in game that allows for volume to be lowered

-Added options to lower music and SFX volume individually

-Added an outline around interactable objects for better identification

-Finished the gameplay loop and a few unfinished mechanics

-Added a small bossfight at the end

-Added a speedrun time

We are very thankful for the feedback and that you stopped by to play our game, we hope you also check the Post jam version https://tetracold.itch.io/ghost-channel :)

@toshiy @shanzpro @massivejack @n-o-x @logic-monkey @500 @yodak @drainkid @vlad-len @eseniia-no @faust-mi @indiepanda @oradimi @yarcha @kanity

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-02T14:48:40Z

@tanskuja thank you! if you played the post jam version stunning the ghosts helps a lot with managing them easily and you have a random chance of finding medkits in furniture. It also took me a bit to get good at the game lol

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-02T17:58:27Z

@kanity you have to interact with furniture until you find the rat king and kill him to get the green key. there is some stuff behind that door, also the keys disappear form your items once you open a locked door.

the rat king has a random chance of spawning, sometimes I got unlucky and I had to check a lot of furniture till he showed up, other times I got him instantly

glad you enjoyed it tho! I didn't personally have a problem with accidentally pressing the down key but maybe we will bind it to another key if we do another update

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-05T15:38:36Z

@pickens-inc

thanks for playing, really appreciate it!

I am slightly confused about the version part tho, the post jam is on itch and the one embedded here on the site is the jam version. we even made sure the post jam version says so in the bottom right corner when you boot it up

(EDIT) OH you mean the fixed thing, we actually uploaded that one about a hour after the the time limit because we realized there was a bug preventing the game from giving you the pages and spawning all the ghosts which is something we had coded before the time limit, it just didn't work. the one made before the time limit is there for download, I will mention that

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-09T00:41:17Z

@sam-gorman thanks for playing! if it makes the experience any better you can walk by the ghosts when they are stunned without getting hurt, also some of the ghosts don't actually hurt you in their idle state.

for the gameplay loop that's just kind of the nature of it, there isn't much I can do about that without rethinking how the game works from the ground up, but I do understand how it may feel like doing the same thing over and over

GHOST CHANNEL by Tetracold 2026-05-09T00:53:47Z

@sam-gorman to be fair it's not really stated anywhere, I just kinda hoped people would understand or find out on their own through playing, so that's on me lol

Biological Threat Signal by Nanamaki 2026-05-03T03:20:47Z

Really liked the style and presentation it looks amazing! I find the pixelated dithered look and the palette to be a fantastic choice that complements the sci-fi horror tone tone very well!

I thought the puzzle elements were the right amount of difficulty, there wasn't really a moment where I felt lost, everything was communicated well/was intuitively designed.

The writing is good too! the story had me intrigued enough to finish every step I had to do for a good ending.

Vice Signalling by Dogshroom 2026-05-04T19:23:25Z

Love the presentation it's so stylish and eye cathing, the art is excellent and the watercolor texture is such a nice touch. I also really like the choice of the CMY color scheme here it's a really interesting choice

The writing is incredibly good for a game jam I was intrigued the whole way through and i seeked all 3 endings.I think the hand signals are such a brilliant choice that really complements dialogue and adds so much personality to each character. it me to stay focused on the dialogue so i don't miss any important clue and they also fit perfectly within the overall aesthetic of the game. I loved the variety, the game makes use affectively of all the gestures which is great!

Mission: Stop Transmission by ZedGame 2026-04-22T11:50:00Z

Absolutely adored this!

the amount of detail and content is so impressive I don't know how you did all this in just 3 days. All the objectives were awesome and I really liked how though their design they encouraged me to explore every part of the OS

you nailed the feel perfectly the artstyle and feel of this game is simply just chef's kiss, this is my favorite entry so far!!

SigRider by LinsCd 2026-05-03T03:47:55Z

this may be the most creative implementation of the theme I have seen this entire jam, I have never quite played a a game combination of control gimmicks like this, and when i realized that I can also combo off of things and my voice makes me jump off of every surface not just the powerline it added a whole new addictive layer to the gameplay. it's simple concept but the execution is genius, this is one of my favorite entries on concept alone

the presentation as a whole is also amazing, excellent style with lots of personality and great sound work too

Gasp Away! by Emsea 2026-05-02T22:57:51Z

this is really good everything from the presentation to the use of the theme, it's a really fun unique take!

the gameplay is the perfect amount of difficult and i got the hang of it pretty much right away, I really enjoyed it!

Digital Immortality by Suslik 2026-05-07T22:35:23Z

the presentation and mood are genuinely amazing in this game both the look and the sound. it really complements the concept you're going for!

I wish the gameplay was a bit more fleshed out because right now it doesn't offer a lot but it's a good foundation for an interesting game

you should rate and comment on other games so you can make the 20 ratings requirement

Call of Depths by Nnican 2026-05-04T14:04:30Z

First off I want to say that the presentation is very strong in this game you guys nailed the mood and the audio work is great too. the use of the theme here is quite interesting, surprisingly I have not seen that many games take this approach

The gameplay has some problems tho. It took me quite a bit to understand what to do I think it would have helped if you guys listed fnaf as an inspiration because then I would have understood better what to do from the get go, but I did eventually it.

there's 2 main problems I have: the game seems to be very unforgiving, it leaves very little room for error and I couldn't finish a run because I just couldn't manage everything enough fast. it would help a lot if either they didn't spawn so often in order to allow me a little more time to fix broken parts or if there was more HP

2nd problem, while I noticed that the different types of enemies have different sounds, I think it would have helped a lot more to understand which type is which the moment they appear on the radar. Only being clear when they get very close makes it very hard to decide which to take of and which to leave alone.

MISSION 404 by KALABHERS 2026-05-02T20:53:12Z

love the presentation and the mood here. I think the theme is used in a pretty creative way too! it took me a bit to get used to the timing inputs but I eventually got the hang of it and I did semi decent. it would be nice if the input window was a little more forgiving.

also liked the ending, I thought it was fun and slightly unexpected twist

Almost the Same by NNMBZR 2026-05-04T22:51:04Z

Incredibly cool for a game I don't think I have seen something like this for a jam before, especially using the online aspect like this, the art is fantastic, I love how everything looks it's super stylized and appealing

SIGBLAST by marks 2026-05-03T22:21:14Z

loved the style and the mechanic was nicely implemented for the short length, is as initially stuck on the 2 raising platform part but when I figured out what to do and it made a lot more sense. the bonus secret was also nice touch

SILENTIUM by Shram 2026-05-03T21:43:51Z

Loved the atmosphere I can tell there was a lot of work put into capturing the specific mood and I also appreciated some of the realistic features given to the care for immersion!

hunting for the tapes is a nice idea the music kept me company while I was driving the lonely roads.

very relaxed gameplay tho if there is one thing I could say is that I wish there were some more engaging gameplay segments sprinkled through, maybe more complex tasks where you have to solve puzzles to offer a little more variety but it's not a big deal, I think the presentation it makes up for it.

Beecon by Soleil 2026-05-04T21:44:00Z

super cute game! Love the style and the music is awesome too, super catchy!

it took me a sec to realize that you can return to the hive, it was a very welcome addition lol. I thought the mechanic was fun even if there isn't any real punishment add some challenge

GIMME TV by pocketdog 2026-05-04T02:39:23Z

This is the most polished entry I have I have played for this jam so far! the visuals are great and full of charm, the humor is absolutely there, the gameplay evolves as a satisfying pace, it feels very responsive, there is a great variety in weapons, there is a lot of fun details everywhere. it was suck a smooth experience, I absolutely loved it! feels like a fully finished game

Sigma by peped 2026-05-04T15:27:27Z

the presentation is great, I really liked how all the stars had their own frequency/vibration and sound. It's also cool that there is a drawing attached to the constellation once you connect it

The gameplay is on the simpler side but I did enjoy figuring out which constellations matched the drawing, I really appreciate that they kept the same orientation as the drawings that really helped a lot!

the sound effects are a bit loud, i really appreciate that there was an option to lower their volume

Signals of God by Geeni 2026-05-03T01:52:13Z

the aesthetic is so cool and unique for a jam game it immediately caught my eye when I saw it

I think it's executed really well. some of the parts are surreal and funny and others felt weirdly deep. I don't even mind the lack of gameplay because the game excels at what it's aiming for

Drum`n`Ice by PepeBrante 2026-05-02T22:12:03Z

it's a little difficult for me as I am not super good at this type of game usually. I eventually got the hang of it somewhat

I think the style is great and the idea is fun, from form a gameplay perspective and also the story/motivation

Signimal by FrowsyFrog 2026-05-03T22:42:25Z

loved it! super cute and cozy :)

Remixed Signals by Naviski 2026-05-03T16:46:43Z

really nice, cute aesthetic, liked the music too. it would just be nice if there was better visual feedback. the meter in the corner is fine but something like actually showing it right next to the note itself or some kind of success/fail symbol would be better as that's where my eyes are focused most of the time
