My Men! by CrispyPear 2026-04-21T16:43:11Z

This is really really good, simplistic but fun!

Hear Ye! by Sibi 2026-04-21T17:45:12Z

very good, symplistic but understanable loop, and good graphics

Cave Man Conversations by SirLich 2026-04-20T17:23:52Z

Very fun game, simplistic but enjoyable!

See Gnolls! by HolySparks 2026-04-21T16:34:04Z

Very nice art, movement, and music, but i don't really get what i'm supposed to do, i can't defeat any of the gnolls or use the flags

Signal Singularities by DrSmey 2026-04-21T17:31:35Z

Very good, both with gameplay and graphics!

Cabined by TheSecondLeft 2026-04-20T17:31:31Z

Very nice, like the the design overall, very fun only gripe is the "screw these screws" should've only played once

NASA signal by Fi7Games 2026-04-20T17:41:22Z

Seems interesting, i like the art and sound, but i have no idea on how to progress with the terminal

Detect Metal by Chomby 2026-04-20T17:06:02Z

Pretty enjoyable game both visually and to play are a few small kinks, like objects spawning out of bounds other than that, enjoyable

Cipher Tower by Teaminister 2026-04-21T16:53:16Z

This seems pretty cool, though not sure hpw to interact with much stuff

Synchrony by SU YUHANG 2026-04-20T16:42:00Z

Quite good game. not sure how the bugs worked, wasn't sure if just you or you and the other bugs had to avoid it if this gets turned into a bigger game, i think the background music should be more "to the beat" of the movement Very good though for what little time it was made in

Laser Beat by Gotlib 2026-04-21T17:00:56Z

Quite good, very unique concept and good art i feel all it needed is to be a bit more transparent on the goal with the blocks making a tune

@su-yuhang it is yeah, i've been programming only 2 years and still have trouble on some basic stuff, like jumping

Signal takeover by The Stage Hand 2026-04-22T03:58:54Z

@crimsontrouper not sure if thats a bug or not. you do have to click a robot to remove the connection before clicking a different bot, if it wasn't that i didn't encounter an error like that, so maybe just reload the game or something?

Signal takeover by The Stage Hand 2026-04-22T04:06:32Z

@mischa-98 originally the game was gonna have a more intricate system for controlling different types of robots for different things,(the main robots for terminals, sentries for destorying robots, bombs for blowing up walls) but of course that didn't happen due to time constraints, and general burn out, but thats why that feature is like that.

also, yeah the feedback thing is a good idea, probablly would have tried something visual if not for the burn out.

TRAFICO by mostlypants 2026-04-20T17:34:45Z

game looks very nice, but the scaling is off and i can only see a part of the screen, so maybe you could adjust that for the itch version

Echo by FlameSeer 2026-04-21T17:10:46Z

very enjoyable, though it definitley needs some sounds, at least for the sonar or getting bitten, i didn't even realize i lost limbs until i had 1 left. maybe also make the lowest speed a bit less slow, but otherwise pretty good!

PacEscape by poliado 2026-04-20T17:09:32Z

pretty good overall, I kind of liked how the game worked with the simple transform to player position code for the ghosts.
