Art is very nice, and the mood/humor was pretty nice. The games feels clunky though, movement feels a bit slippery and the double jump is higher when you jump as soon as possible after your initial jump(Why?). If shooting was only to the direction you are facing, maybe an alternative button would be better. Overall, needs some changes for precision but the art and humor is very good.
An absolutely great game. The audio was great and help set the mood of travelling through such vast space. The 3D rendered objects were cool, but I feel they lack enough detail. There is also not enough different encounters, and that interacting the modules of the ship should also have a small puzzle element instead of simply clicking where you need to. Great game, hope you continue it!
I great twist to a bullet hell game! The catching of bullets is a bit buggy though, as if you run at the bullets they sometimes hurt you. In my experience, I got hurt randomly as well. Player movement feels slow as the bucket speeds up too slowly. Shooting should also instantly happen instead of requiring the button to be held down, and also should NOT have that much recoil.
A great concept that can be polished a bit more.
Very good game! The use of perspective to turn around and see a new way to go through the tunnels is absolutely great! Art style is nice, audio could be a bit better, the use of leaderboards is very nice as well. Great job!
It's a great and fun game! The aesthetic of just being a loach going around and eating things is very cool, and the art and music and sfx are well done too. I just feel that the controls are wonky, which makes the last fight with the big fish very hard combined with the moving dangers.
It's a nice puzzle game! I never knew platformers can be combined alongside turn-based and grid-based movement. All of the levels feels like something new, and it is super fun to play with. Perhaps a quick reset button can help with solving the puzzle elements.
A very good game! The mechanic of the puzzle is very cool, and can definitely be expanded upon. The music changing when you go between layers is very nice touch. Perhaps the improvement can be on the movement, moving one tile at a time with a long animation if you move in the upper layers makes the game move very slow and annoying.
Amazing game. Played for hours. A Tetris twist with skills and different blocks are amazing and fun. Never even thought about using Tetris to dig down instead of build up. Overall amazing game, especially for 3 days.
A very interesting game! it's fun and quick, though the parts that permanently block you from progressing because you made a mistake should be changed a bit.
A clicker game with an interesting plot! Although for a jam clicker game, it's very VERY slow. Had to use an autoclicker :P. UI was also not working too well, with some parts going off even when I'm full screen. The theme was used differently, starting deep but ending up high. Good game!
A simple platformer with great levels! The fast option feels very nice to play around with, and the slow option allows for more precise movement. Great game, maybe the last level was a bit long.
Woah, what a dark twist! It's a simple story, but the mood made from the lighting, the simple upgrades, everything made this a great game. Nice job!
This is a really cool spin to the theme. Going deeper into a lie through a text adventure game that has lots of branching paths. The images used actually helped with the scene, their low quality helped with the wacky situations. Although the starting character customizer is unnecessary if your special character only appears in 1 scene.
It's a nice text based game. I wish there were more sound effects, especially for the games, as the only sound is a small amount of ambient sound. The story is interesting, but I feel not enough has been said. Nice job!
An interesting concept on top down shooters! Only being able to harm them at specific weak times is pretty clever, and can be expanded upon. The enemy's bullets are way to fast to dodge though, and the player's attacks only being in the 4 cardinal directions are a detriment. Other than that, fairly good.
A very fun and nice game! The music really sets the mood, there's humor scattered in some places, movement is very polished, and the art makes it look like I'm playing with an old TV screen. Great job!
Remember that the ore monsters will wake up quickly if you run at them. If they sleep and you only walk without sprinting, you can get very close up, in which you can hit them with your pickaxe. Thank you for the feedback!
Thank you everyone for your feedback!
It's a simple downwards shooter game of collecting O2 and defeating various enemies. It's quite fun and the implementation of an upgrade system is great! There are lots of obstacles that keep gameplay interesting.
Movement feels a bit slow, and shooting feels very static. Shooting should be faster, or at the least have some spread. The text and UI are very blurry and hard to read. Overall, pretty good game that could be improved upon.
What an interesting twist to turn-based combat! I like the mechanic that the shepherd doesn't directly deal damage but is your main source for damage. You can expand more upon this idea!
Interesting game! It's a simple run around and slash enemies type of game. I found the necromancer to be quite difficult due to how much enemies he was spawning. Slashing with the sword also didn't really tell me much about where and how big my slashes were. Overall, great game!
The game's dark level makes for good mood, but could be better if the enemies and the player had lighting that reflected the game as well. The character loses health way too fast, and representing it as a number isn't the best. The player also feels hard to move, with high inertia but also high acceleration and max speed in the air, causing the player to move slowly if you only tap the directions, but go zooming if you hold the direction down.
The game has a good base that can be expanded and improved upon. Nice job!
The graphics are very helpful in making the mood of a dungeon. The dash and the platforming combined with the turn-based is a very creative idea. Going deeper into a dungeon is also a good use of the theme. The idea is great, I hope you expand upon it by adding audio and completing the turn-based combat!
A very simple but very polished game! The way that the characters get hit and die with the way you go through the menu is absolutely perfect. Many ideas are implemented too! I feel that the rival has done very little throughout, though. An endless mode would also be very cool. Great game!
The game is creative, but it's very hard to play. The main issue is that the feather feels heavy, and slowly responds to wind. This makes movement hard, especially when you are trying to move multiple directions to dodge bullets. Tuning of the physics would really boost the game's quality. Good game!
The game is quite complicated. It has some interesting mechanics, but the player has no idea what to do. The AI still doesn't do much, and there are a few bugs. Maybe you can continue working on it!
A really creative game. The different devices and different requirements create a really fun experience. The accuracy required is a bit hard and confusing sometimes but you can get used to it. Phones die super quickly as well. If there was a lot more leniency on the accuracy then it could have been really good. Great game!
A great game! The movement and mechanics are polished to a shine. The platforming and semi-puzzle aspects are fun to go through! More mechanics and levels would boost this game much further. Great game!
It's quite a fun game! The cute little monster makes so many expressions, so taking care of it is so satisfying. The controls/goals are easy to understand (except for electricity, which should have been stated that you only charge after a blackout). The only gripes are that radiation is painfully slow, and only recover a small amount of radiation. If getting the uranium used a small minigame that you can be fast in, it would be more satisfying to play. Still, great game!
The presentation of the game is very nice. Absolutely beautiful artwork, with the pieces being satisfying to use. The game is hard to understand, though. The heating rods felt oddly useless. I also wasn't sure why I didn;t make electricity at times. Great game, a bit complicated though.
Overall solid game. The mechanics are easy to learn and playing was fun. Perhaps the player was too fast, and the game didn't change much over time. Great game!
This is a really nice game! The mood is set right, and the movement feels very smooth and fun. Perhaps there could be more temporary ways to stop the disorders from leading to a game over, otherwise its very good.
A very clean game! The blocks provided are nice to use, and the game is easy to understand. Perhaps the blocks having different colors can improve the visuals to the game. More levels would also be appreciated. Great game!
The game is quite fun to play! Great idea with good execution made playing very fun. Physics based games are always a treat to play. I do have an issue with the physics being very, VERY bouncy. It makes some situation very difficult. The plates/paddles provided are also varying in difficulty, which can really change the experience. Great game!
The game is tricky but really fun! 4 types of problems you have to deal with makes a fun game about managing every assignment. The art feels rough, but isn't bad by any means. The game could use some more carriage types as well. Overall a solid game!
The idea of a trick-and-treat resource management is a great and fantastic idea. The art is really cute as well. The game lacks some polish or depth, though. Towers should be upgraded, not reloaded, because then your options is either spend candy to defeat monsters or lose candy from monsters taking from the pot. A mini-map would also be useful. Otherwise, really cool game!
What an interesting game! The art is very nice and the ideas are plentiful and cool. The game is quite chaotic with the 6 forms of movement, though. Cutting it down to around 4 may make the game more manageable. Bounciness is also too bouncy, and most of the forms of movement make you move to fast. Overall, great idea and nice job!
This is a great game! The idea of transforming into other creatures randomly is fun to play with. The physics is slightly odd to play, but nothing that ruins the experience. Overall good game!
An absolutely charming game! The characters are so unique and distinct, both in personality and appearance. The pixel art of the characters as well as the environment is beautiful. It's as fun as a walking simulator gets, but it is still an absolutely amazing game. Great job!
Oops, forgot to mention as well the ABSOLUTELY MASTERFUL SOUNDTRACK!!! Seriously though, the music really sets a mood.
The fake desktop is indeed a really nice design. The idea of being a game QA is also very creative. The restrictions of bugs were varied and interesting. Perhaps it would be even better if there were more levels, or if the physics were more fine tuned (jumps are so huge that I sometimes underestimated gaps). Overall, well made game!
The game has a really good concept. The standard of having to manage computers in various ways is neat. The placing of objects and windows is also a neat feature. I think the drives and rebooting of computers are a bit weird and complicated. Other than that, the game is great!
It's quite an interesting game! Trying to play an untested game, and trying to find the bugs were cool. Even minor details such as the volume and the sfx were fully into the gig. The game was quite punishing though. The maps were also just squares, which could be changed. Overall, cool game.
It's a very silly and fun game! Multi-tasking the little pets is very cool and funny. I do think that having the option of mouse and keyboard would be better. Otherwise, great game!
Thank you everyone! Perhaps a tutorial can help, but I'm not sure I can fully implement one to the game at this rate, so I rely on players reading on my text first. I'll try to implement one. Thank you very much for playing!
Score 137!
Your game has an interesting idea. The rotation of the platform and the idea is really nice! The level generation is cool, too. There are some minor physics issues, such as the ball not following the platform when the platform is flat and moving left/right. The rotation controls are also very sensitive, and should have used keys/buttons that the right hand could have used for more accurate plays. Other than this, the game is very charming and cool!
Your idea is very creative and hilarious, and you honestly executed it quite well. The mechanic of dropping your letters to stop cursors and stickmen is very cool. The fact that your typing actually has some meaning is really cool as well. The stickmen don't really feel like threats, though. Also, your game should be called arm-sore simulator, because the amount of typing you have to do is kind of tiring. The ending blue screen could have also showed more detail, such as how many words you typed. Great game!
Great game idea! Simple is best, and the game does so very well. Perhaps it would be better if the game was actually unstable in a way, instead of just having double vision. BG music would also be great. Nice job!
The game is very creative. Using unstable as an unstable temple you're escaping is quite interesting. The physics, as everyone said, needs a bit more fine tuning. It's hard to move and maneuver anywhere. A little polish can make this game far better!
Overall, this game is pretty cool. The mood of being crash-landed and having to shoot in the dark is fun. The variety of weapons provided is also nice. You die too quickly though, and it isn't clear what you can and can't die from due to the dark colors. Great game!
Wow. A very heartfelt and emotional story. Great graphics as well! An amazing game. Perhaps the bar above could use other art instead of the standard slider. Honestly really well made.
The block-placing system is entirely broken, making the game difficult to play. If this was changed, the game could have been much better. But the idea is still very much fun. Trying to get a good balance and reaching the highest score is very fun to play out. Nice game!
Interesting game! The gameplay is simple and easy to play, the high score mechanic gives replay, and the art and sounds are super nice! Perhaps the game could increase difficulty a bit faster.
I think the game is very cool! Having a deathmatch where you switch between players creates an incentive of carefully choosing the best characters to play. There is an issue of balance, as the mine-creating characters are garbage. Other than this, cool game!
The game has a great concept! Golf where you're on a timer would be really interesting to play. Sadly, the game has quite a few bugs. The timer goes WAY faster than 10 seconds. Having those 10 seconds count down when the ball is rolling and you can't do anything is also really mean. A bit of fixing and this would be a great game!
This game is really unique! It's idea is really cool, having 10 second limits in each level. Perhaps an easier progression from cheaper store prices would make the game feel better. A lack of audio also hurts this one a bit.
That was a really interesting game! The mechanics were unique, and it's all around fun. Prices should be brought down a little, though. Some 10 second maps also don't allow you to cross to the other side.
Game is impossible. You can't beat the first few enemies to gain money, so you're forced to lose over and over. The art is okay, but the fact you can't even earn money is such a huge flaw.
It's a cool game. Switching between weapons gives the game a lot of variety. The environment also creates a lot of fun chaos. Perhaps some of the weapon felt very weak compared to others. A bit more balance can improve the game!
It's a neat horror game. The gameplay is simple, similar to something like slenderman. There are issues, though. Enemies can just jump at you from nowhere and you can do nothing. The darkness is very excessive and hard to see, although it is a horror game. The 10 second connection is also very loose. Other than that, cool game.
It's a good game. The art is really nice and stylized. The laser's recoil is also a nice detail. There's not much to do in the game though. It's practically a walking simulator. The laser is cool but not effective at wiping enemies. More varied enemies or objectives would've been cooler.
It's an interesting game! The mechanic is cool and could be further explored. A shame there's only 2 levels though. I feel that more content would make the game waaaaaay better.
AYYYYYYYYYYYY
The game's artstyle is really, really nice. SFX are amazing too. The theme is brought in nicely, and the gameplay is quite innovative. The game is super difficult though. Player actions feel a bit slow/lagged, and hitboxes are very unforgiving. Otherwise, immaculate game. Amazing.
It was an ok game. The idea was unique but the beat maps were really difficult to follow with. They had irregular rhythms and were placed really awkwardly. The map was also huge, should've been zoomed in a bit more to the player. Great game idea though.
The game is pretty interesting! 10 seconds per weapon makes a great variety in gameplay, and adds a lot of variety. Art is fairly rough, though. The weapons also don't feel satisfying to use. Both enemies and the player look awkward when moving. Great idea, you can polish it more!
It's a super cool concept for a game! It has a feel of high pace without forcing you to go fast. The minimap was also extremely useful. Perhaps the physics was a bit janky, but other than that, it was really fun!
For me, it was mainly the mouse sensitivity being low and jumps on ramps felt a bit weird. It's not THAT bad though. The game is till very much fun!
I really like how fast the game ramps up. At first, the game is menial and simple to do. But as more customers pour in, the more you have to manage the biscuit distribution. And at later stages, grabbing biscuits alone become hell. The "Humans" look more like grey humanoid jack o' lanterns though. Other than this, great game!
Really solid game. The art is really nice, games are simple and fun, and the sleep sections offer a nice break. Turning around with the player has a bit of offset and not perfect. Some games simply become impossible at later stages. There's also not enough warning of what to do in the incoming challenge. Overall, great game!
It's an interesting game! The gameplay is simple but fun, and there's a lot of challenge and options to it! Maybe more options for traffic modifiers would be really cool.
It's an interesting little game. Maintaining a bunch of plants and giving them what they need is so fun and unique. It doesn't really fit every 10 seconds though. The art is nice but is a bit excessive on the lighting. There's a lot of unique items you could give to plants, but I think only a few are needed. Other than this, great game!
Nice game! The art is super cool, and the mechanics are really interesting. The enemy AI feels weird, though. The mechanics make this seem like a puzzle game, but the puzzles are too simple or weirdly programmed. A bit more bug fixes and polish can make this an exceptional game!
The game is interesting. Having a fight with an opponent that gets stronger over time would be interesting if things weren't so easily killed. You can defeat your opponent in ~14 seconds, easily. There's also not much change in gameplay over time. Your enemy shoots rockets and drpps turrets, but nothing more. Perhaps more mechanics and a tougher enemy would make this more interesting. Good game!
The game is pretty neat. The idea is unique and could be made into something really special. The main issue is that nothing stops you from just...shooting to avoid the overcharge. If it was something in the line of a melee attack only possible when you're near enemies, now you're talking. 10 minutes is also really long for such a simple jam game. Still, really cool!
Interesting game. Having darkness appear every 10 seconds is a really interesting concept. Too bad there isn't much you can do when darkness actually hits. Also, why is the 10 second effect simply removed in later levels?
Pretty fun game. There's so much you have to account to, so never felt boring or doing nothing in a skirmish. Sadly for me, I couldn't find another enemy after 2 subs, so things got a bit boring. Something other than text tutorial would also help. Sound design and Art is really good, though!
The game is super interesting! Maintaining a small farm like that for survival is super cool. Perhaps the early game was too slow, with not much happening over time. When farming enters the scene, it's too late and now you're really hectic with so many activities. Perhaps a few changes to things like this would balance the game a bit more.
This game is super cool! Using death as a resource is an interesting mechanic, and it balances dying for bounces and keeping deaths minimal. Ten seconds is quite a long timer, since the area of platforming between never reached 10 seconds for me. Anyways, great game!
The game is very innovative! Floor changing in 10 seconds is very unique. Perhaps if the player controller was smoother, it would be more fun.
