That was a lot of fun!
This is so interesting!
I feel like I might be starting to get it, but its still a little confusing. Clicking the question mark helps, I didn't do that at first. The highest score I could get was 43.
This is fun. It got a little glitchy when I went too far to the left, but otherwise everything seems to work fine.
This is so much fun! Probably one of my favorite games I have played so far.
The flowers and the bunny look so nice! It is so creepy when you are surrounded by the spiders, well done.
This is very cool!
Very cool idea.
This is cool. Its nice that there are different types of materials that you can get and that upgrades don't only cost money.
Very nice!
This was fun! I did find a bug though. I hit the spikes above this level and got stuck here. I can still move around but can't get back to the actual level.Capture.PNG
Not bad. I agree, cats are amazing. It would be nice if the timer ended after picking three objects though, instead of having to wait.
That was fun. I was a little confused on what the arrow collectables did at first, but it did not take too long to figure out.
That was a lot of fun! I like the upgrades.
This was fun. If you were to expand it later, making the people look a little different could help tell them apart better. Even if its just different colored shirts.
Cool game. It was just a little confusing.
The sound effects were good. Some kind of bar that fills up or something to help you tell how high you will jump would be helpful. It says you can use w and the up arrow to jump but that did not work for me? Controls were a little difficult but it was fun.
The radar is pretty cool and all the art looks nice.
@otresnjak Thank you so much for playing!
@thewhiterice that makes a lot of sense for the flashlight, thank you!
@freddyturbina thanks! I will try to add an html version
@yorsh I was wondering if anyone would find the secret room :D. Thanks for pointing out the falling, I hadn't even noticed.
@moski You even tried multiple play throughs! :D Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it.
The art is amazing! I really liked the coordinate part, it was very interesting.
I don't know if its just me but any bee that was nursed by one of the worker bees got stuck after hatching. They wouldn't move. But other than that, I really enjoyed the game.
Very cool! I used to love that Club Penguin submarine game
Its a cool idea. It was a little annoying to get stuck on like the top of a 't' in the words because the letter was a little taller than the others. But its very good for a first game. I didn't notice any bugs and it was fun.
If you want more people to play, you should probably add an icon to catch people's attention.
That's really fun! I like how the physics works.
That was a lot of fun. Its not too easy, not too hard
Having to work with other players is a cool idea. Unfortunately most people who play early on probably won't remember to come back later to see what's at the top of the ladder. I had fun collecting the candy that I could reach though.
That was really cool. I really like the art and the story. Playing through different routes was fun!
I really like the colors. And I appreciate that it works on mobile. Thank you for that.
This is really cool. I like the idea of time shifts. I also fell through the world after the second shift. It also happened if I fell in the hole right before the shift. When I respawned there was no floor. Capture2.PNG
I like the art. I don't think I understand the purpose of the characters standing around. Was there a way to interact with them?
That last level especially was challenging, but it was a lot of fun. I really like the controls.
I love the art. I also got a little lost, wasn't really sure what I needed to do.
That's pretty cool. The one problem I had was that sometimes an enemy would spawn right on top of me.
Yes! got on the leader board! That's a lot of fun, I really enjoyed playing.
@brunozisman @daniel-malcher Oh that's weird. I hadn't tested it with headphones on. I have no idea why it would do that. Thanks for letting me know.
@mhorth Wow that's crazy! I think I only ever got to around 600. I'd definitely say that's the current high score.
@xlambein I'm glad you liked it! I didn't make the music. It was made by Matt J Hart. There is a link to the music on the itch page of the game.
It's fun. I agree with Mechanized, I think having the old blocks fall would be nice.
I really enjoyed that! I liked having to manage different things. It was also cool you could chose any currency symbol.
Its very interesting. I think the third loop is a little too difficult for me. I may have to come back and try again later.
Very cool game! It is fun and the art looks very nice. I found a bug where if I touched two creatures with one at the same time, it would count for both. I was only able to do it twice though.
It's a nice game. Making a working inventory system is impressive for a game jam. There were just a few bugs with it though. If you drop seeds and pick them up again you get twice as many. You also don't have enough inventory space to hold everything. So, if you try to harvest the watermelons without dropping something first, you will either pick up the seeds or the watermelons, not both.
I think the audio works perfectly and the art looks nice. I just wish the balloons wouldn't go off screen.
That was fun. I always like when games have a leader board! Dying wasn't too frustrating so I could keep trying again. I didn't really find myself looking at the messages on the side at all and I agree that the space felt too tight.
The art is wonderful, and I love how the music gets so much calmer when entering the shop.
That's really cool. I love the art style and the gameplay is fun! The only thing is it took me a bit to figure out I could hit the first boss's necklace. Thats very minor though, and it might just be me.
The tunnels are really cool. I didn't realize I could go through them at first.
@batkoi I was wondering if anyone would notice the music issue. I have no idea what caused it. Thanks for playing!
I think it is fun and the sound effects worked well too. I agree it moves too slow in the beginning though. You could say that the reason the satellites disappear is because they crash into each other.
It's a very nice game, I like the art too! I agree with wolderado that your score goes off screen a little too quickly
I really like this game! I always liked minesweeper; I think a competitive multiplayer version is a great idea! I imagine it would be really cool with a bigger group.
It's really fun! It works well on an iPad. It seemed easier with a touch screen; I was never able to get that bridge one though.
I love the art, all the characters look great! It didn't feel like there was enough time to check the potion book and make the potion in time, maybe the customers should wait longer in the beginning and start leaving quicker as the game goes on.
Since 10 seconds overall seems too short, maybe the lawyers could say their next argument every 10 seconds, if you still wanted it to work with the theme. The art style looks awesome by the way!
It's fun! I think it's cool you can try to trap the shades on a tile that's about to be destroyed. I may have found a bug. I walked off the edge right before the egg hatched and it gave me the lose screen but then switched to the victory screen.
@vivyhasadream A phone is a good idea, I bet that would work better. Thank you!
This game is great! One of the best I've played so far :)
It's very cool! It doesn't really work if you don't follow the prompts though, which makes sense. It still created a beautiful painting. AIGalleryPainting-2022-10-04_20-48-14.png
pretty cool! I found one bug: After you die, if you pause and un-pause the game, you can keep playing and get negative health.
I really love this! It’s so interesting! I think it’s really cool that you define everything. It’s nice it works on mobile too. 33A4EEC6-B3EA-4FCB-BEF9-7F746B0A6204.jpeg
It's a fun little farming sim. I love the art style! It was a little difficult to select the tile that I wanted to interact with. Maybe selecting the tile under where the player is standing would be a bit easier? Also, what type of plant are we growing?
It's very cool! I like that the spike gauntlet forced you to go towards the middle, since otherwise it was pretty easy to just stay to the side.
The art style is beautiful! I got stuck on what I was supposed to do though.
Triple digits!IMG_2642.PNG
I had a lot of fun with this! It is very fun to play!
I couldn't figure out how to attract them at all and ended up looking at the source code to find out. I guess I would suggest a hint system so that if someone is stuck they don't just give up. The reticle box was confusing, I thought I must be missing some way to interact with the world. Once I understood what I was doing though it was a very cool game! The way the underground blocks only show themselves when you are close to them is very cool and the creature behavior is interesting.
This game is very cool! It definitely deserves more attention. The art looks great, the game is polished and of course the voice acting is awesome! Make sure to rate other people's games if you want more people to find this one. The only issue I found was with the shoot 10 mosquitoes quest. The number never went up. It would have been nice to know how close to 10 I was getting in 30 seconds.
This game is very cool! I liked zooming out and just watching the ants. They look pretty good when searching for food. I personally prefer the color version, but the gray scale looks fine too.
I think its a very neat idea and the graphics and audio are great! I struggled to see the numbers on the lockers when viewing all of them, which was a bit frustrating, but maybe my screen is just too small.
I had more fun with this than I expected! I only wish the fish were larger or more different from each other. It was hard to tell them apart at times.
nanoBot.png After a few attempts, this is the best I can do. I really enjoyed this game! The nano bots were confusing at first but I got the hang of it.
I didn't expect them to chase after you, ha ha. It was kinda scary when they all ran at me. Very nice game!
Magic levitating spider!

This game is really pretty and cute! I love the little spiders. Trying to get all the leaves was fun. I got stuck once but with the "load last checkpoint" button it was no problem. Very well made!
At first I thought that the powerups were enemies and should be avoided ha ha. I had a lot of fun with this! I agree with @zimonitrome that powerups should stack.
I like this game a lot! There are a lot of abilities and creatures, and I think it works nicely. I think it's the right length for a game jam too. I didn't understand what the numbers of the dice roll were for at first. I understood when I got a creature that needed a certain value, but before that I thought higher value dice were supposed to do more damage or something. It also didn't seem like the snail's thunder ball did anything? I couldn't tell if it did at least.
I love the sprites, the creatures are so cool and cute! I agree with richjbaron though, I didn't really understand what the items did or what made them different from each other.
I love the art in this game! The sizing of the game was a little weird for me though. I had to change the zoom settings on my browser for the whole game to display. I'd recommend changing some settings in Godot to fix this:
in Project Settings -> Display -> Window
Godot 4: set Stretch mode to 'viewport'
Godot 3: set Stretch mode to '2d' and Aspect to 'keep'
I love the addition of a leader board! That's a fun thing to have in a game jam game. I think the upgrade/rest idea was cool, but I quickly ended up with a ton of reds and then the game became too easy. There wasn't any reason to have any non-red Fellas. Maybe different enemy types that require different color Fellas to destroy would help?
Very nice game! It's cool to see another person who had a similar idea. I love the little ant and beetle sprites. The one thing I would suggest is to add a trash can to remove bread you are holding. I accidentally made a jam bread when all the beetles wanted plain bread, and I didn't see a way to drop it.
A very nice game! I love the sprites. The cat and dog look great, and the humans are very tiny and cute. One bug I found was it seems like full screen cuts off some of the level. I got stuck here for a bit because in full screen mode I couldn't see that there was a person in the hole. Eventually I exited full screen mode and then I could see it.unnamed.png
I like the idea! Maybe there could be a mini game to play with your pet that speeds up the time when you do well? That would help the wait time and make it more interactive.
Its fun exploring the Mandel Set as it gets more detailed! It was interesting trying to figure out where would be the safest. Its a bit difficult to control but you get used to it. I got to iteration 9. The music is pretty catchy, but once it finishes playing it doesn't start again until you die.
To build off what @mr-mesmer was saying, simply clicking on the holes to drop a rock in it might make timing things a bit easier. I felt a bit rushed trying to drag the rocks over in time. This could also help with missing rocks for the smaller holes, though I didn't have this problem myself. Works fine as is though, I like the unique idea!
The music is perfect! And I like the little detail of the screen on the “scanner” moving when you turn. When trying to break the game, I did manage to go negative depth by going up and also found this silly little block.Untitled.png
This game should be frustrating but I actually found it quite fun!
You guys did an amazing job with this! The art is beautiful and overall the game is very polished.
The graphics are very cool! I agree with @jester1454 that there should be a way to skip the rules. Maybe if you place a card it could skip it? People might do that accidentally though. The first time I played, I only got the teeth item and I don't really know what it did. The second time I got the brick, that one was more obvious ha ha.
