After having no more missions to do and 38600 points, my only question is: Why don't the Jamaicans run faster? Great job, guys!

Overall very cool concept! I liked the decision to play a musical note when defending the tower successfully. I'm sure with more time, you could have done something really cool rhythmically with that design.
Also, thank you for letting me defend my tower by mashing my face into the keyboard.
Wish there was a restart button!
Love your ambition in making an online multiplayer game for this jam. Once I found a room with players, I was unable to select Raptor or Triceratops. My mouse disappears completely from the game window. WASD does nothing. Alt+Tab or Alt+Enter don't seem to fix either. Any ideas?
Loved the concept! I wish the bullets auto-reloaded.
Great job! I enjoyed the various challenges! I wished there were some clearer instructions for each mini-game. I felt rushed without knowing what to do. Also, I couldn't tell what the mouse icon was for a few seconds.
But... I don't want to be eaten by a grue.
Good work, guys! I would be interested to see this speedran. It would also be cool for a hard mode, where you could queue commands up (e.g. jump in 5).

Oh my goodness, this is absolutely amazing! I knew an @anstabo game would come correct with the shaders, and I'm glad I wasn't the least bit disappointed. This also seems like a great educational resource for kids to learn words in an engaging manner. Keep up the great dev work guys!
*By the way, I wonder who hid the poop in between the haybales?* 😄

Great job! I had quite a lot of fun ramping off the grass. The camera didn't seem to take reversing too kindly. The hitbox for collecting orbs was also quite unforgiving. Other than those small points, I enjoyed this immensely!

Great work, and congrats on your group's first LD submission! I really liked how new music layers were introduced as new mechanics were introduced. It allowed for a nice, cohesive sense of progression. The platforming was pretty difficult at first, but I enjoyed it altogether.
Winter Survival by oxrock 2019-10-10T02:24:32Z ♥ 1
Nice work! I definitely felt lost, which was clearly what you were hoping the player to experience. At times, this feeling was enjoyable (challenge of needing to stay oriented to the fire), but at other times I would just get completely disoriented to where I would always die from lack of warmth. I didn't realize that berries regrew on bushes so quickly, so I kept thinking I was visiting new areas every time I saw berries - hence me getting lost.
Allow by Mikeality 2019-10-10T02:12:05Z ♥ 1
Nice work! The lack of air drag took some adjusting to, but the platforming felt polished overall.
Void Prisoner by BoxedMeatRevolution 2019-10-09T23:55:45Z ♥ 1
Nice work! I enjoyed the unique concept. It would've been nice to have some pathfinding, so my character wouldn't run into the wall when I clicked across the wall, but that's understandable given the time constraint.

Hahaha these sound effects are great! Short and creative. Great job!
Awoken by JammedGame 2019-10-09T23:22:54Z ♥ 0
Nice work! I really liked the art. I think some basic shooting sfx would've gone a long way for adding some polish, and a dash mechanic (or something or the sort) would've helped the pacing a bit.
FUTHARK by dikkop 2019-10-09T22:09:39Z ♥ 0
Nice work! I like the low-poly aesthetic. The narration made me laugh, and I had fun destroying objects with lightning.
Water by agrdev 2019-10-09T21:26:55Z ♥ 2
Cute game! I wish the characters moved a bit faster. There also seems to be a bug where if jump and hold TAB, the character keeps flying.
Eden by Copper 2019-10-09T21:21:39Z ♥ 2
This game is so wholesome... up until someone brutally axes down their lover in front of their newborn. I enjoyed the plant growing animations a lot. The "love" noises were... interesting haha. Great work!
High Steaks by FriedYeti 2019-10-09T20:57:39Z ♥ 2
Cute game! I especially enjoyed the music. I'm also just a sucker for PICO-8's color scheme. Not being able to move with WASD was a bit awkward though (felt like I needed three hands for Z, X, arrow keys, and also mouse). Nice work!
InkTent by Gonzako 2019-10-09T01:43:19Z ♥ 2
I liked the creative take on platforming! Nice work!
Tardigrades on the Moon by bassguitarbill 2019-10-09T01:35:03Z ♥ 0
I enjoyed the concept! Zooming out seems a bit buggy, as the screen suddenly turned black. Perhaps adding a clamp to the camera's position would fix this. Nice work overall!

Nice work! I enjoyed the art particularly.
Trashquest by icxon 2019-10-08T08:25:37Z ♥ 1
I loved the art and enjoyed trying to figure out the best way to swing weapons around. There was an instance where I tunneled through the ground and got stuck underneath, but other than that, great job!

Great job! I enjoyed thinking about the different possibilities I could spent my action points on.

Went AFK on auto-heist after buying 9 of the most expensive crew members. Came back to having over a billion dollars. I liked the character animations! The mouse cursor seemed to be a bit imprecise. Overall, great job!
Ashes to Ash by johnfn 2019-10-08T07:40:27Z ♥ 2
Great job! I greatly enjoyed the dialogue and music.
The instructions for vine climbing state "W/A", but I'm sure you guys meant "W/S". The jumping felt a bit strange, but other than some small stuff, I was impressed!
Sand&Sea by CaptAndrey 2019-10-08T07:25:49Z ♥ 3
Nice job! I thought the ocean wave sfx was a bit loud compared to the bg music.
Seedling by Apandso 2019-10-08T07:17:56Z ♥ 1
I liked the art! Seems like a chill clicky game that would do nicely with some relaxing music.
Tiny Reactor by coffeecup.winner 2019-10-08T07:05:00Z ♥ 1
Cool concept! I enjoyed thinking about the different ways to rack up more points, but it got pretty difficult 😅
Soundscapes by Kaish 2019-10-08T04:48:28Z ♥ 2
Creative take on the theme! There was nothing preventing me from spam clicking to beat levels 😄 but the challenge of finding sounds was enjoyable.

"I'm shoving shrimps in my vegans."
This game was hilarious! Loved the concept and art. Fits this theme and also reminds me thematically of LD41's "two incompatible genres" theme.
When Nothing Came by velvetlobster 2019-10-08T04:22:22Z ♥ 3
Really awesome art style! The narrative fits the theme well. I enjoyed the time-rewinding concept as well.

Love the art style! Great job, and congrats on your first LD!! 👍

I enjoyed solving this puzzle! Great work, and for some reason, I now feel like rearranging my living room.
Peak Performance by mmason 2019-10-08T03:47:18Z ♥ 2
Once I grasped how to play the game, I thought it was very unique and interesting! I think an inclusion of some more UI would help new players.
Singularity by dob 2019-10-08T03:37:25Z ♥ 1
Wow, I enjoyed this a lot! Really unique and the puzzles are interesting to think about.
JOURNEY TO NOWHERE by dannyli0109 2019-10-08T03:24:58Z ♥ 1
Hahaha, the ending hit close to home! Funny and thematic. The choice/storytelling concept vaguely reminded me of The Yawhg.

I'm really impressed at the art!

Cute art! I liked the parallaxed hills.
Erasure by seankennedy 2019-10-08T02:57:22Z ♥ 1
The game window stretches taller than my 1080p monitor, so I didn't notice the UI listed at the top until I scrolled up. Was a bit confusing up until that point. 😅 Once I figured out what was going on, I found it interesting! It seemed like some of my jumps weren't working though.
Pinbuilder by tequilatom 2019-10-08T02:51:38Z ♥ 0
I liked what you were going for! Definitely follows the theme strongly. I think with more time, a polished version of this concept would be neat.
Cast Away by OrdiNeu 2019-10-08T02:46:32Z ♥ 2
Well done! I enjoyed how nicely this was executed overall. Would've fit the "night is coming" theme as well.
