Cats In Space by ldkuba 2023-10-05T14:53:15Z ♥ 1
Very interesting concept. Might work better as an arcade game with a time limit to collect the next cat, but this gameplay style is a lot more Zen!

This was a quite enjoyable few minutes! The mechanics, audio, and art style are sound, and I could see this being a successful mobile or party game if you added a time trial or score attack aspect to it. Overall, one of the most innovative games in the jam for sure! :D
I have to start by saying I was enamored with the pixel art; I think PICO-8 is a great style to emulate. The shooting gameplay was solid, but I didn't really understand the meter at the top or the side bar, along with my other cell buddies. I didn't knock you for it, though; I assume I missed a tutorial at the start or something.
I guess you could say this is like Death Stranding in 2D? Interesting to think about, but this is definitely more fun. ;) I like the graphics and gameplay loop, but I feel like the difficulty could use some rebalancing.
This is honestly one of the best and most innovative games from the jam! I could easily see this being on mobile as a full game. I like the Game Boy-inspired look as well.
I'm surprised you got such strong building mechanics working in the time limit; I might have to check your source code! ;) I like the graphics, but the motion blur might be a little much. Otherwise, the gameplay mechanics are very sound, so I would love to see this expanded upon in the future with more progression.
I was quite impressed by this fun, arcadey-type game! The pixel-art graphics were as impressive as the music, which is to say very. As for the instability meter, it's more like a simple timer, but the change in your sprite and the music speeding up were a nice touch that tied it in.
That, my friend, was a very unique experience. It may not be a traditional game, but I have a feeling it will be more fun than some of the other games I’m about to rate. Good chuckles indeed
Fun little shooter game. I liked the on-rails style and the currency system. However, it may be wise to make it so that enemies are paused during a transaction.
Nice quick shooter game. I like the element of strategy in choosing the right actions and areas to respawn in. The graphics were pretty good as well; I like the neon aesthetic.
Wow, what a fun stealthy game! I liked the simple mechanics, but the later levels were a bit hard, even on the easiest difficulty.
Fun Zelda-type dungeon crawler! The game was a bit too tough for me to beat, but from what I played, I liked the graphics and the audio! (And the SMB2-inspired snake sprite!)
Fun retro-style minigame collection! If this wasn't a jam game, I'd want about 5000 more minigames! I liked the graphics, but the audio does get kind of repetitive after a while.
Fun mind-bending strategy game! The pixel profiles were quite distinguished and the choice of music is good.
Wow, great little journey-type game! I liked the aesthetic and the choice of music.
Great Simon-type game! I loved the animations, and the voice effects were a nice touch.
Great coding puzzle game! I like the added complexity from the looping inputs. I was able to use my 20000 IQ to get to the end, luckily. The sound effects are great, but a little loud.
Wow, what a great platformer! I loved the Gameboy aesthetic and the controls. The difficulty was a bit much for me when the lasers came in, but I enjoyed it for sure.
Wow, great vaguely-comedic horror game! I loved the animations and the super-speedy movement. I also liked the- wait, what is that? Uh... gotta go! Wait, I'm back here? AAAAAAHHHHHH!

Pretty fun! I can tell there was a substantial amount of playtesting - the character felt great to move, nice and weighty. The color choices were a little strange, although the graphics generally serve the game well. I don't suspect anybody will have a high score greater than 105 or so.

Very fun! The colors immediately stood out, I love the aesthetic (as well as the star-studded cast of funeral-goers). I feel like the difficulty ramped up a lot past the fourth stage or so, but that might just be my lack of practice and planning early on. I could certainly see this game being very replayable. Great job!
