The comment is based on post-jam version. The game is really nicely done. The graphics, the animations make a fantastic vibe, and, of course, the frogs <3 Love that! The jam version unfrotunately didn't work properly - the towers didn't shoot at all, which was a bit puzzling as to why I have to choose anything :D However, you've made it shine really nicely! Great job!
Absolutely fantastic art, oh my god. And the music that accompanies it, so atmospheric. I had chills! And it reminded me of This War of Mine. If it had some story, some more features, it'd be a buy from me FOR SURE.
Wow. Just wow. Can't say more, it's a must play, definitely. The art, the gameplay, the music. Gwen <3
Really chill, perfect for some timekilling, and yet engaging enough so that you WANT to continue playing. Awesome!
Wow. I'mma be honest - one of the best games I've played so far. It's so different, it's so well-made. Audio? Amazing. Graphics? Amazing. Gameplay? Amazing. Kudos to you.
Wow! As much as I don't like horrors, that was really nice! Great atmosphere, I see the beginnings of an interesting lore. Great job!
Loooove the style, omg. It's amazing. The game is pretty easy - just a few well-placed turrets and it was enough to be calm about the defence. Anywho, I really loved it. Would love to see some development of this title!
Mood is so tense you can cut it with a knife. As much as I'm not a fan of the horror genre, it's so atmospheric... Really snappy and straightforward controls, "battle system", and movement. Really well done! Short but sweet :)
Incredibly nice game, really chill. The gameplay is tight, and the one room where you have to make a double jump using the whip made me stop for a while :D Music is really fitting to the game, to the full experience. Great job!
Surprisingly chill game :D I liked the amount of work you have to do around the drill to make it work properly. It was challenging but, at the same time, chill (like I said :)) Thank you for the entry!
Moody, spooky, pretty cool! Not necessarily my cup of tea, I don't enjoy horrors too much, but the idea of dimension hopping was awesome!
Cool game! The grapping mechanics were a bit stiff and sometimes felt arbitrary but it was fun nonetheless. Great job!
Loved the atmosphere until the wolves and the baby. These pulled me out of the chill I was having with this game. Other than that, a really solid entry <3
I really like the style of the game! The shooting mechanics are really pleasant, the movement is on point. Smooth transition from slide to jump, the jumps themselves - magic. Incredibly well done, congrats!

Random Walk by nuzcraft 2025-10-21T21:49:42Z ♥ 1
558 moves to reach the end - I think it's not great, not terrible :D However, it's a lovely game with an interesting concept, great graphics, cool sounds, and incredibly engaging loop. Great job, guys!
Autumn Apples by Cambryx 2025-10-21T21:19:09Z ♥ 3
What a fantastic game! Not very tough, but relaxing and cozy (in its twisted way :D) Great entry with fantastic progression, graphics, and audio. Amazing stuff!
A Very Sneaky Thief by telo.philippe 2025-10-21T21:18:03Z ♥ 1
Loved the hand mechanic, it was so fun! The audio and graphics fit together nicely, however the guide speaks too fast :D Great entry!
Lunar Burden by Iluvatar 2025-10-21T21:11:07Z ♥ 1
Wow, what a solid entry! Loved the vibe, the music, and the old-school graphics. It made me want to play some point-and-click... Great job on that!
The Candelabra by kalasherr 2025-10-21T21:03:36Z ♥ 0
Neat game! Loved the candles' faces, the sounds, the logic you have to employ to get some points. I got unlucky with 14/15 points, however I will be trying some more in the future! Thanks for making the game! :)

Really nice game. Music really tied it together, along with the graphics. Really solid entry!

It's so adorable, oh my goodness... My heart cannot contain it <3 It's such a perfect little game, great job <3
Grave Situation by BangKerpow 2025-10-21T17:47:48Z ♥ 1
4 turrets guarding the main entrance were enough to make the game self-play. And I'm not saying it as a con of the game! It was really pleasant, graphics moreso than audio, but still a solid entry! Great job!
The Return of Tom Lander by rubentipparach 2025-10-21T17:36:56Z ♥ 2
Damn, what an entry! Kudos for making the physics, and the whole engine to make it! Tough as nails, I didn't get very far to be honest, but I enjoyed the hell out of it! Possibly I will return to it in a few days with more energy :D
Subterranean by PatUwU 2025-10-21T17:30:12Z ♥ 2
Scary mother, cute mole, and collecting - that's a combination I did not expect. Nonetheless, it's a lovely game <3
Loot Lagoon by ChuChuGeralt 2025-10-21T17:08:05Z ♥ 2
What an adorable game, oh my! <3 I enjoyed the hell of it, it was so pleasant. The graphics are great, music is fantastic, gameplay loop is engaging. Progression is palpable, the need to upgrade the boat ASAP made the game really enjoyable. Amazing entry, guys!
Gems of Kaine by MateusBoga 2025-10-21T16:53:40Z ♥ 1
Imma be honest, I loved the artwork and the sounds, but I did not get the logic behind it. I managed to get a few levels in, but at some point, it gets so muddy I can't get through it. However, the game is great, and I really enjoyed playing it!

Really funny idea that's really well executed! Loved making my own Mona Lisa!

Damn, it was a great game! Loved the mechanics, loved the sound, the gameplay. Incredibly solid entry!
Cawlector by LARK 2025-10-21T08:14:49Z ♥ 0
Cool music, nice gameplay loop, at first it was kinda tough to get hold of the steering, but second playthrough went smooth. Really nice graphics and audio!
RIPOFF by 5H08 2025-10-21T08:06:33Z ♥ 1
One of the most unique games of this gamejam. The graphics are well done, the music absolutely s l a p s. The punching didn't work as responsively as it probably should, but turning a whole city against me and running on the buildings was a great experience. Great game!
The Mysterious UNIT-Y by JustMars 2025-10-21T07:55:13Z ♥ 2
I agree with the colleagues before me - great idea, really well executed. It lacks progression, or the ability to lose money, however what you have here looks great, sounds fantastic, plays really nice. Great project <3
Light Runner by Avi 2025-10-21T07:39:53Z ♥ 0
Pretty chill game, lovely vibes, the idea of saving the trail is really fun!
Beaver Bailiff by dr-braur 2025-10-21T07:34:19Z ♥ 2
I think so far it's one of my favourite games of this LD, based on what I played. Beautiful graphics, fantastic music. Game is extremely coherent, and immensely playable. I cheesed the game a bit and put the turrets by the spawns, so the monsters would have to get through these, however, since the game allows, is it really a cheese?
I think overall I did a pretty good job of being a bailiff. [Beaver score.png](///raw/d8e/36/z/6f847.png)
I'd love to see this game continued and made bigger and better.

Aaawwwhh, it's such a cute and lovely game! Great job!

Great idea, lovely humor (French scaring the mother :D), fantastic execution. I really enjoyed playing it. Enjoyable music, pleasant graphics - you did a marvelous job!
Waifu Maxing by wospy 2025-10-21T06:45:25Z ♥ 0
Great idea, pretty good execution, lots of fun. I had a bug with one of the waifus (fourth one), she didn't load, which, unfortunately, destroyed the momentum of me playing. Shame, I wanted to get the Waifu Master title :D
Goblin`s Treasure Mountain by jessica-b 2025-10-21T06:33:49Z ♥ 0
Adorable goblin <3 Overall solid game, however I'd add a sound for losing a life - I didn't see the hearts at the beginning and was baffled when I suddenly had to restart. Also, the height is a bit inconsistent - sometimes, while jumping you can lose a life - I suppose that's because the height of the player is interpreted as "too high". Truth be told, I was defeated by the chest - I couldn't figure out the puzzle and I wasn't up for trying to get to the chest for the third time. Overall, pretty fun game, good work!
Paperboy: Time to Collect by sslees 2025-10-21T06:17:20Z ♥ 1
Really nice game. I also got kinda baited for the cover art, however I was not disappointed :D I expected a paperboy game, and I got a paperboy game! Cool aesthetics, tough as nails. Good job!
Vote. Please? by Marten Liiskmaa 2025-10-21T06:12:28Z ♥ 0
Really cool game! I loved judging people, however I was almost sure the girl with colorful streaks in her hair will be left-leaning :D Great entry!
Borderpoint by TrisZ 2025-10-20T20:24:44Z ♥ 0
Wow, you've created a really cool game! Some polish and it could be really good! The things I paid most attention to are spelling mistakes, but it's nothing that can't be done with a bit of work :) Overall, really nice graphics, interesting premise, taking into account Estonia - Russia in '92. Good job!
Crane World by PilotTK 2025-10-20T20:18:33Z ♥ 1
Cute game :D Endearing artstyle, non-invasive music, frustrating yet fun physics :D Well done! <3
Nover by artemco 2025-10-20T20:13:33Z ♥ 1
An interesting take on the collector theme, definitely. It was a "pleasant" game - made quite well, with cute graphics, a simple yet engaging premise, but the atmosphere made it really unsettling :D I almost expected some twist, some kind of reality shift. The camera and color change took me by surprise and made me want even more. Really well done!
Claw & Collect by d-demetori 2025-10-11T22:01:48Z ♥ 0
Really good game, well executed <3 It'd be awesome to see this idea pushed further, as it definitely has a lot of potential for a chill game, maybe mobile? Graphics awesome, music relaxing, gameplay c h i l l. Good job!
Pocket Monster World Collector Adventure by justking144 2025-10-09T16:54:45Z ♥ 0
I definitely had a good laugh, especially fighting the Fallen One, lol. I tried waiting multiples of 37 hours by the volcano, hoping something would happen, alas, just my shoes began to melt :D Funny story, nicely done mechanically. Good job :D
Heart Collector by khaotom 2025-10-09T16:39:18Z ♥ 1
Well, this was trippy as hell :D It was a great game, just something weirdly unnerving and calming at the same time was implanted in my brain while playing it. That being said, I loved it, lmao. Great game <3
CrateSpin by manabreak 2025-10-09T16:21:58Z ♥ 1
An incrdibly strong entry to this edition of LD. I loved the graphics, the gameplay is quite hard, but rewarding, and the music, as the youngs say it, "slaps", hahah. Overall, a great game <3 I got to the boss, he shot 2 rockets and I died, so I will try again soon, definitely.
Notebook Flight by HomoLudens 2025-10-09T16:08:56Z ♥ 1
I'm gonna be honest, I didn't actually understand the controls at first. It did take me a few tries to get it, and then the "fireworks" happened and I was like "oh.". All in all, a fun game, lovely graphics, maybe a bit hard, but good job! :)
Nebula FM by Chariot 2025-10-09T15:48:04Z ♥ 1
Hey there :) I really like the premise of the game, I thoroughly enjoyed the graphics, the sfx, the little Jimbo standing around! <3 It's a shame the conveyor belt doesn't work, but it's a great bass (hehe) for something more. I can't wait to see what you can do with it!
Chickens Go Home by cagibi 2025-10-09T15:41:52Z ♥ 1
Such a fun little game, haha. I enjoyed the premise of wreaking havoc on places, and the helicopter took me by surprise. It was incredibly cute, the graphics ideally fit the premise and the game overall. Somehow I stumbled into a roadblock thinking the game is bugged, because I wasn't able to go up the stairs - turne out, I'm just too tired after work to notice a ramp, lol.
Overall, definitely a cute game, well done <3
