Seed Your Weed by LordDrw 2023-01-26T16:31:55Z ♥ 0

Pretty chill game, and a good job for your first jam game. Needs some polish and direction though. Also not sure why you listed it as a compo game, since you admit you didn't make the character model yourself. Kind of cheapens the hard work the rest of us solo devs put in to make our crappy art (and also means you lied during the submission phase). Good job though.

'Arr-vest by ThePelranthean 2023-01-22T18:26:37Z ♥ 0

Excellent game! Simple, but strategic and fast-paced. Great job with the controls.

Cosmic Dust by Rhanzoc 2023-01-18T04:08:19Z ♥ 1

Fun little game. Movement gets a bit wonky around the planet's "poles" (I've tried an idea like this before, and that bugginess seems familiar haha), but still fun to play.

Its harvest time by EPA 2023-01-18T02:10:58Z ♥ 1

Cool little fast-paced puzzle game. Definitely needs instructions

Grim Harvester by zbugba 2023-01-18T01:59:38Z ♥ 1

Great concept, but kinda slow and buggy. Good fun!

The Dealer by Porcus_Pie 2023-01-15T21:09:27Z ♥ 1

Wow! This was one of the most fun games I've played this jam. Simple enough, but it definitely gets intense as people grow more and more impatient. "Just wait 10 seconds and I'll get your marrow! Jeez!" And it's a Compo? Holy crap! Great job, dude! (P.S.: I'd love a windows download that I can save in my "LD52 Favorites" folder. I like to replay some of my favorite games from each jam sometimes.)

Harvest Looper by madcoil 2023-01-15T20:45:20Z ♥ 0

Excellent job, and nailed the theme! I could definitely see the potential for a full-on survival/crafting/exploration game using these basics.

Mr Drills Kandy Harvest by LordMiji 2023-01-15T18:08:29Z ♥ 1

Good concept, it just needs more variety in goals and/or levels

The Harvester by MarkElliott 2023-01-15T17:53:32Z ♥ 2

Love the PS1 graphics. Tank controls were a bit surprising and awkward, but overall a really cool project.

Funny enough, a similar concept popped into my head when the theme was announced, but I ultimately chose to go a different direction. I'm glad to see someone went with the "vengeful scarecrow" idea.

The Cave Mushroom by PSV Games Studio 2023-01-15T17:37:07Z ♥ 1

Excellent little puzzle game. Being able to pick up the batteries if a mistake is made, or reload the puzzle wpuld be nice. I could definitely see the potential for development into a full game.

Crop Season by chaikadev 2023-01-15T17:27:21Z ♥ 3

Great game. A few minor inconveniences within the mechanics, but nothing too bad (especially for a jam game).

Scrapseed by scumhead 2023-01-14T01:22:19Z ♥ 0

Great little story. Gameplay was a bit lacking, but compo games have to make sacrifices (I know mine did). Would be great to see more of this story. Awesome job!

🥕 Grow a Carrot! 🥕 by pauljs 2023-01-13T18:27:55Z ♥ 1

Cool concept. We'll see about the execution. See you in time for LD53, if I remember.

CelestialPersperation Hollow by derpygamer2142 2023-01-13T09:25:39Z ♥ 1

Not sure why you released an android version with no working controls (besides looking at the finger position). Maybe you just assumed nobody would play it?

Moon Festival by Teto 2023-01-11T00:34:00Z ♥ 0

Great game! It was a bit repetitive, but that's not really a bad thing when the game is so fun to play. I only wish there were more cards with fun effects like the rest.

Bullet Harvest by upcharlie 2023-01-10T15:39:12Z ♥ 1

Well, I suck at bullet-hell games just as much as I thought I did. Still, the 15 seconds I managed to survive each time were fun, and the art and audio are great! I may come back to this one. I still want to beat that corn!

TurnUp by bcmpinc 2023-01-10T04:41:32Z ♥ 4

Oh man, that was fun. I couldn't see if I was getting any robots though, so I couldn't reach any more milestones after a while. Not sure what happened there, but it was an enjoyable experience overall, and very funny too.

Scythe of Souls by xaviarrob123 2023-01-10T02:26:37Z ♥ 0

Great game for such little time. The art and music were especially great.

Soul Season by goldenXD 2023-01-10T01:23:05Z ♥ 0

I lost track of how much time I spent in this game. Thousands of souls harvested. Very repetitive, but that's not a bad thing in this case. It was a lot of fun for such a simple idea.

Reap N' Sou-l by Wolfox121 2023-01-10T00:55:40Z ♥ 3

Beautiful game, and with a good challenge. Tried to play a few times, but I kept getting stuck in place and couldn't do anything (same thing happened to some of the demons, too), so I couldn't make it past day 2. Not sure if it's a problem with the animations, or the movement mechanics, or something else. The music was great, also. Overall, this game was excellent.

Reap Its Future by PassbyKamenRider 2023-01-08T22:54:52Z ♥ 1

You're all grown up, Damien (my plant's name).

This was a great little story, and I think you nailed the parent-child relationship dynamic you were going for. I also think I spoiled my plant too much.

My biggest critique is that the text moves too slowly. Still, it was worth the wait to reach the end of the game. I really enjoyed seeing Damien grow.

Time to master by Woodpecker233 2022-10-16T04:30:15Z ♥ 0

@juxipolo Pretty much my thoughts. Great idea, but frustrating at that part, and I'm pretty sure I legit experienced vertigo for the first time in my life while playing this (drunk), due to the disruptive numbers and off-beat ticking.

That's fantastic, though. To think that such a common perception can be so (even slightly) fundamentally flawed, and easily disrupted, is really interesting. I can definitely see how altering the idea a bit could, for real, be used as a method of torture. (That's a compliment).

Very good job. I just need a minute.

The Therapy by Mika314 2022-10-16T03:47:41Z ♥ 2

Very cool concept and execution, but the click-movement is frustrating, and it begs to have WASD controls. Excellent artwork and animations, too, and the camera transitions were very cool!

Choo Choo Crossing by Hydezeke 2022-10-15T17:22:40Z ♥ 1

Oh man. The low-poly style and chill, but upbeat music definitely gave me some Katamari vibes. That's NEVER a bad thing. 👍

Ten-Second Murder by lectvs 2022-10-05T07:33:30Z ♥ 1

Pretty fun. Makes me want to go start a murder mystery of my own.

Wait...That's not what I meant.

Red and Black's Discommunicative Communication by chitoyuu 2022-10-05T03:22:17Z ♥ 1

Nice game. Not sure why it ended so abruptly, but I'm satisfied. It's refreshing that 10 seconds seems relatively chill-paced compared to other, more hectic games in this jam. Excellent work, especially for a Compo. Screenshot (50).png

TicTacCat by Kerioth 2022-10-05T03:02:30Z ♥ 1

Takes a couple playthroughs to get the hang of it, but that's fine. There's a lot going on, and it seems to all be functional. "Restart" button at the end wouldn't work for me, though. Not sure if that's because of my screen resolution or what. Good work!

Psycho Chaos by Gorr 2022-10-05T02:16:24Z ♥ 1

Good, fun idea, but the enemies are a little too "healthy", and the seizures last too long. Graphics are good, though, and the "wobbliness" of the environment seems an appropriate feature that provides that extra bit of challenge. Good work.

Blades of Doom by Benjamin Halko 2022-10-05T01:37:19Z ♥ 1

Excellent game! Definitely intense and engaging. Great audio, too.

RandoBots by Brusi 2022-10-04T21:43:48Z ♥ 3

Great, fast-paced fun. With some tuning on the controls, this would be a fun little multiplayer game. The animations and audio were especially awesome.

Laby10s by Patrick Premartin 2022-10-04T21:28:47Z ♥ 0

I appreciate the few mobile games that come through with each Ludum Dare. I like being able to participate, even at work.

This was a fun little game, and traversing the levels feels like a fairly unique puzzle. I could definitely see this expanded to be a fast-paced time-killer. That little bug is adorable.

Stay Positive by Nick Barrash 2022-04-19T16:36:00Z ♥ 1

I grew more positive in this game, than I ever have in real life! What a shame....

Great game!

Large Number Collider by Shigor 2022-04-15T09:26:15Z ♥ 1

Played the mobile version. Excellent job! I've never played 2048, but this is fun!

Last Contact by Cethin 2022-04-15T06:34:37Z ♥ 0

Mobile version doesn't really work. I can't seem to move my ships (by just guessing at the controls, since they're not explained anywhere I could see), and Earth gets immediately destroyed by the first alien ship. Good concept, though.

Procrabstination by sebastianscaini 2022-04-14T10:59:35Z ♥ 2

Excellent commitment to a joke! I played the android version. Shell-phiroth got me a couple times, but eventually my fingers limbered up and he went down. Then I realized I was stuck in the minigame and it just kept looping. Still, lots of fun. Great job!

Deathly Delay by MasterOfCheese 2022-04-14T10:08:23Z ♥ 0

Great little collection of minigames. The cat-throwing needs a little work (or I just need to suck at throwing it less), but the android version was still a lot of fun!

Crazy plant lady. by limered 2022-04-14T09:40:26Z ♥ 1

Great game, and a nice reminder to stay single, and plant-free.

Save The Dinosuars by ScalphaMission 2022-04-14T09:17:37Z ♥ 1

Great jam game! The Android version is a lot of fun!

Nature Is Healing by KingOfSpill 2022-04-13T16:48:07Z ♥ 1

Great atmosphere of isolation, just waiting for danger around every corner. Excellent horror game!

Pillage Quest by phats604 2022-04-13T16:31:41Z ♥ 0

Simple, but fun. I could definitely see this being expanded on. Good job!

It's like they knew... by boc_dev 2022-04-13T16:05:34Z ♥ 1

This is a great, relatively-unique game concept, and put together very well for a jam game. Great job!

You Are A Bomb by Benjamin Halko 2022-04-12T20:51:27Z ♥ 1

The android version is excellent!

Cup Half Full by BangTheWall 2022-04-11T11:07:17Z ♥ 1

Brilliant Tetris adaptation. The mobile version is lots of fun.

Dungeon Dummies by Jozef 2022-04-09T22:40:19Z ♥ 2

One of the best I've played yet for LD50. Definitely a challenge, but I'm glad I stuck with it to the hilarious ending. Great job!

Descending by pev 2022-04-08T10:38:10Z ♥ 1

Played the android version. Excellent game, with a lot of potential for additional mechanics and such. Very cool.

Death is The End by Wren Erickson 2022-04-07T17:59:51Z ♥ 1

Awesome design and graphics. Nice story, and fast-paced fun (wait, that was EASY mode? Jeez). Especially great to see a compo game with this much detail added. Great work!

What the Hell? by GlorifiedPig 2022-04-07T17:30:36Z ♥ 0

Great game. Fun, and the audio was EXCELLENT!

Take stuff the game by Ayced 2021-10-20T07:08:56Z ♥ 1

I'm so glad I didn't read the comments before playing. At first I was thinking "Okay, this is kinda fun", and then I picked up a wall, and that DEFINITELY increased the fun factor. Excellent job!

Kaboom Box by kleinzach 2021-10-12T15:01:57Z ♥ 0

Excellent game. Great use of "3D spatial awareness" as a puzzle-solving mechanic. My only issue is that the colors or various objects are a bit same-y, although the indicator given when hovering over interactable pieces did help with that. Very intense, and a lot of fun. Would definitely play a post-jam version of this game! Great work!

Wilson's Lab by Nebrazif 2021-10-12T11:17:01Z ♥ 1

Excellent game! Good difficulty curve, too

TECHNUCLEAR by TheGreenWorm 2021-10-12T09:18:02Z ♥ 2

Probably the best mobile game of LD49! I would definitely play a post-jam version of this game.

And a solo compo game? A masterful achievement! Great work!

Interstellar Highway Robbery by Corny 2021-10-11T16:54:03Z ♥ 1

Very cool game! Loved the graphics (the box "lights" are definitely a nice touch). I didn't make it too far (my oxygen depleted faster than I could keep up with), but I definitely look forward to seeing how you develop this game. And all that as a solo Compo game? *Martial arts bow*

BATTERY ACID by AploveStudio 2021-10-11T08:57:09Z ♥ 0

Love it! This is one of the more intense and fun games of the jam that I've played so far. Simple, but strategic. I would definitely like to see this fleshed out into a full game, with some lore and various weapons/enemies/rules. Excellent job!

New World Disorder by xpoho 2021-10-11T08:51:55Z ♥ 1

I'm going to forego my political opinions, and just say that this was a fine piece of art. It really has the potential to educate people, if expanded and gamified (to keep their attention and make the experience more interactive/persona1).

Makes me think someone should make a "Call of Duty"-style game, but if you die once, you're DONE. No checkpoints. No mercy. You start back at the beginning of the game, or your mission failed and you have to live with the results. Might make people re-think how "cool" war can be and how "badass" they would be under the circumstances. The poor are dying, to keep the rich in power.

Dammit, I said I wouldn't be political, but this game got me heated.

RAGE HORSE by SlickRamen 2021-10-10T20:32:13Z ♥ 2

I played it twice, and downloaded to play again later. If that doesn't explain how much I enjoyed playing this, I don't know what would. Funny concept, and the art is f-ing glorious. Gameplay is simple, but solid. Very fun, and hope you'll continue to develop it.

This is a fantastic example of each member of a small team putting their experience and styles together to create something absolutely amazing. Great job, team!

In Balance by OlayColay 2021-10-10T19:32:38Z ♥ 2

Definitely has room for potential. For now, the combat system is WAY too complicated to not have a tutorial or on-screen info for the different elemental attacks and block. I couldn't keep track, and had to keep checking back to this page for the info (as it wasn't listed on the itch.io page). I feel like you could have done just 3-4 elements, and the effect would have been the same, but that much simpler. With the "combo attack" system, I could definitely see combat playing out like something akin to "The Legend of Dragoon", but with an elemental twist. Would be cool to see, if you decided to continue with this project.

The music seemed a bit loud, but that's adjustable, so ultimately not a problem. However, it was interspersed with totally silent dialogue scenes. Kind of jarring.

Solid graphics for a jam game.

Minor/personal inconveniences: The player moves a bit too fast for my liking. Moving slower would allow the player to take in the environments you're working so hard to build. Also, the in-game dialogue system is a bit slow, but if you press Space to try to "fast forward" the text, it just skips through and closes the dialogue box. Kind of annoying, but just requires more patience.

This idea may have been too big for a game jam, but definitely has potential. And considering the time-limit, there are definitely going to be flaws. Still, the prototype is solid, if a little too complicated. I'm sure it took a lot of work, and it shows.

A Stable Job by UCSBDad 2021-10-09T14:14:59Z ♥ 1

The first time I played, I "ended it" after day 1. I was like "Nahhhhh."

Thinking there was more to it, maybe something I missed, I played again, lasting 6-7 days (I lost count, just like in real life). This was not fun, even while drunk. YOU NAILED IT.

Still, the audio was cool (But I guess you opted out of audio ratings?), and the character animation was cool. The "cutscene video" is morbid as hell, and really ups the "mood" factor.

I'm not quite clear on the character's "job", though. Pick up a package and take it home? Is he a drug dealer? Ironically, the game is every bit stable, but made me feel mentally UNstable as a result. Kudos.

Blazing Festival (LD 49) by c-13mu 2021-10-07T13:40:54Z ♥ 2

Good job with the atmosphere! A bit repetitive, but that's not bad, given the time constraints of the jam. Nice artwork!

Celestial Heights by shp 2021-10-06T20:01:31Z ♥ 1

Cool little game. Often times, though, I'd get to the top of the "falling" platforms, and my grapple couldn't reach anything higher, as the platforms fall at different times, so there's a huge gap, and I just end up riding back to the ground. I get that I'm probably meant to be quick enough to stay ahead of that effect, but that requires a bit more quickness than I could manage, even on easy mode 😔 . I do appreciate the "laser sight", though (especially as a console gamer I'm not so used to using my keyboard and mouse outside of my own gamedev projects).

I also think moving around with WASD might have saved my butt a time or two. Maybe a jump button? I get that those weren't within the idea of the game, and I can appreciate that.

Having said that, I did enjoy this game. Excellent sound work. Nice graphics, too.

Great job! And as a solo compo jam game, my issues are basically void. I understand the time constraint and pressure. All-in-all, this is a solid game. I just wasn't very good at it haha.

Ethereal Runner by jabsatz 2021-10-06T19:35:25Z ♥ 3

Very cool game! Downloaded to try again later. Great work, team!

Reactor Rush by auxC 2021-10-06T19:08:43Z ♥ 3

A fun, unique idea! I absolutely suck at this, but still enjoyed myself. It definitely made me feel "unstable", in a good way.

Excellent art, solid controls (even if my panicked brain couldn't totally grasp them when being pursued by lava), and awesome music. Nice job, team!

II-III-V by miziziziz 2021-10-06T17:08:42Z ♥ 1

Mood rating: 17 stars

Holy crap, that was heavy. Excellent atmosphere of confusion and panic (or was that just me?). The movement was challenging, but unique (definitely more "unstable" than just "WS to move, AD to rotate". Kudos!). This game definitely leaves me wanting more!

And this was a solo, compo jam game? Daaaaamn! Fantastic job!

Radio Inactive by Edoardo Talamini 2021-10-06T16:35:51Z ♥ 2

It took me a couple tries, but I managed to survive with 10 seconds left. Who knew you could save the world with "whack-a-mole" skills?

This game looks and plays great, and the alarm sound definitely adds to the intensity (which, I suppose, is what alarms are for. Hmm...). Nice job, team!

Crumbling Mind by NoeTheLazyDev 2021-10-06T16:20:14Z ♥ 3

Excellent game, and great visuals!

Not sure about having so many "leaps of faith" in the game, and some of the jumps that were there seemed a bit too far (I understand it's a platformer). Some of those jumps I'm still not sure how I achieved (because I was depressed, and couldn't see half the screen anyway haha). The combination of these things led to some really...unfortunate deaths (and felt a bit unfair at times). However, the quick reload and checkpoints made up for any inconvenience, and I eventually made it to the end.

If only we could all get a few re-dos when our mental issues cause us to make mistakes, amirite? Your team did a great job!

Garbostackers by Runuchok 2021-10-06T15:55:14Z ♥ 1

Awesome idea, and well executed! Excellent job with the graphics (I particularly enjoyed seeing the rotating stacks displayed during the "game over" screen).

I feel like it would go great with a kind of lofi-cyberpunk soundtrack. Great work!

Wobble by BGDC 2021-10-06T10:54:12Z ♥ 1

Beautiful game! Love the backgrounds and textures, especially, and the wings lowering each block are amazing! It was definitely a challenging experience, but I managed to make it through all the levels (I had the most difficulty with level 1, haha). Shout out to the sound engineers: The music and SFX were SUPERB!

Great job, team!

Breathe in Puzzle out by glimaleite 2021-10-06T08:23:58Z ♥ 1

Wonderful game! Beautiful, thoughtful, and INTENSE! I think this is my highest-rated game of the jam so far! Fantastic work, team!

Wine Guy by johanhelsing 2021-10-06T06:57:27Z ♥ 2

Enjoyed the challenge and the audio. Great atmosphere! Excellent fit for the theme of this jam

My Ordinary Life by fabY 2021-10-06T06:46:37Z ♥ 1

A charming game with beautiful graphics.

The only part that concerned me was the dog-fetching quest. I found it difficult to jump on the big boxes without several tries. Maybe if the jump was a bit higher? Really, that's my only issue.

I'd really like to play this, if you decide to make an expanded post-jam version. Great work!

Unstable Cat by wvbz 2021-10-06T06:30:07Z ♥ 1

Fun, adorable game! Excellent art and audio (though the background music was too bit loud for me).

Got a high score of 106.

Unstable Vampire: A Text based Infinite Runner by Dobryn 2021-10-06T05:57:41Z ♥ 0

Very cool game; simple and whimsical. The pacing was a bit fast for me (which is not to say I didn't enjoy the intensity. I totally did), but that's more a problem with my reflexes than my typing speed. Still, I managed to kill ONE vampire (Let that be a lesson to you, pale-skinned vermin of the night). Excellent color choices, also.

I never played games like "Typing of the Dead", but if they're anything like this, maybe I should....

Great work!

Deepwell Safety Inc. by rock-gong 2021-10-06T05:36:10Z ♥ 2

I can safely say that I've spent more time playing this jam game than any other yet. Great idea, with great execution. The music was great (if maybe a bit repetitive after such a long time).

Only bug I ran into was on day 33, the man wanted his bird back. I placed it in the "holding area" (?), but I think I dragged it over to him before the door fully opened when switching to the "cargo port", and so it just disappeared, and there was no way to get it back. Bye bye, Birdie.

Still, great job!

Operation Meteor Shower by Seracrooce 2021-10-06T04:03:10Z ♥ 2

Awesome use of physics, and the voice-over was 5-star humor (I genuinely hope the Earth isn't destroyed by a farting asteroid. That would be humiliating. What will the Grays think of us then, you know?).

The biggest issue I had was that the web-build wouldn't fit my screen properly (even in full-screen). Not sure if this is because of the UI scaling? Still, it didn't make the game unplayable. Another issue was that sometimes the planets would find an orbit where they were off-screen for 70+% of the time, and were thus difficult to aim for (But you stayed true to the game's physics, and those physical laws can be a harsh mistress). Still, the game was excellent, and the theme was well executed! Great job!

The Eye of Glower-On by UkuleleFury 2021-10-06T03:11:27Z ♥ 1

This was a lot of fun to play on mobile. Level 2 didn't quite fit on the screen, but it wasn't a big issue, because although, I couldn't see the bottom-left platforms, I could HEAR them coming, thanks to the excellent sound design. The patbfinding was excellent, and didn't seem to get stuck even once (Those Orcs can do some damage, haha).

I would definitely play a full version of this game.

the cards we're dealt by rainedoe 2021-10-05T21:39:39Z ♥ 3

Beautiful game! Loved the narrative, art and music. I also learned that it will probably take me several lifetimes to achieve emotional stability. I don't know if true happiness is attainable, but I sure didn't do it here....

Still, I enjoyed this experience. That's a good start. Great work, everyone!

Into the Cone Zone by Cookie Dragon 2021-10-05T21:13:01Z ♥ 1

I'm not ashamed to say I kept playing this until I had well over 100,000 points. My laptop could use a bit of a cooldown period, I think, haha. And I absolutely had to capture some screenshots of flaming cars flipping through the air, and launched myself high up to get a sweet aerial shot.

I would absolutely buy a full version of this game, maybe with different maps, objectives, multiplayer, or whatever. Reminds me of the "Crash" mode (I think that's what it's called) in the old Burnout games, where the goal is to cause as much destruction as possible. Or the movie "Rubber", but with a homicidal, immortal traffic cone instead of a tire.

I'm still chuckling to myself after playing this. Simple, but HILARIOUS

Etherlands by Ethernal Tech 2021-10-05T20:44:39Z ♥ 1

Definitely a good base for a future game. The visuals are charming, and the sound effects work well.

Unfortunately, I wasn't totally clear on my objective(s), and the game crashed on me a couple of times (something to do with the workbench?). Still, I can't fault that for a jam game.

Click For Living by d3w 2021-10-05T19:24:46Z ♥ 3

I guess this is what Adam did before Eve came around. I'm just going to assume this is universal canon.

Seriously, though, this is an excellent project. Nice graphics, excellent audio, and thoughtful gameplay. What more can you ask for?

Hexworld by icxon 2021-10-05T19:06:40Z ♥ 2

Excellent game! Loved the unique mechanics, and the sound design was superb. Now let's bow our heads to the hundreds of little men who fell overboard (and the probably millions lost at this point, both during development, and by other players). May they find peace in the down-below!

Potions for Dummies by Milan Dolezal 2021-10-05T16:34:45Z ♥ 3

Really cool idea, and I definitely appreciate being able to play it on my phone. The sound and visuals were top-notch!

I'm still not sure what exactly was wrong with some of the villagers (they looked fine after treatment, but were, I guess, swaying back-and-forth?). Those were the times I just went for the hail Mary, and ended up passing them off, haha. Still, after a few minutes of experimentation, I was able to cure myself. Huzzah!

SEXY BOOBY 95 by silkworm_sweatshop 2021-10-05T14:50:28Z ♥ 3

Ah, dial-up and virus-inducing incriminating internet searches. Definitely does feel like the '90s.

Excellent music and humor. Great work, especially for hitting the compo deadline. I would definitely watch that booby shake again.

There'll Be Hell To Play by Enya454 2021-10-05T14:22:20Z ♥ 2

Honestly, it confused me at first. I felt like I was stuck on the first machine (like maybe I had to reach a certain score), but then realized it was because I was using A & D to move the claw (which did work), but (now it seem obvious) the game tells you to use LEFT and RIGHT, which DID allow me to change machines. So it was allowing me to use A & D to play, but wouldn't let me use those same buttons to switch machines. Thus the confusion. I even scrolled through the comments, hoping someone as dumb as me had solved the issue. Guess it's just me 👅

Ultimately, though, I did reach and defeat the boss. It was a lot more fun once I realized my mistake. Great art, sound, and excellent use of effects.

I had fun with this one. It took a few (or more) failed attempts, but the mechanics and gameplay were solid. I'm glad I persisted, because it's a great little game. And the fact that it was done strictly during the compo (something I failed to do because my idea turned out to be too big) makes it that much better. Great job!

As someone who (like many) struggles with addiction(s), I think this game provides a valuable perspective on (though ultimately nothing people don't already know, but alcohol (and "addiction" in general) is INSIDIOUS, and this game captures that feeling in a coherent, beautiful way.

Great mood, visuals, sound, basically everything. I just wish it had been longer, and that's a good thing. Incidentally, it was the reveal of the "kid's drawing" where the art hit me the hardest.

Excellent work! Classic scrolling shooter, and the streak system was a nice addition. Audio and game feel are very satisfying. Great work on the various enemy types, though the lasers sticking around after the enemy was destroyed was a bit annoying. Still, great job!

Fun game. Good level design, and the power-ups were a nice design choice. My only criticism is the choice of colors. It was kind of difficult to see that some of the barriers were moving against the color of the background (though admittedly I do keep my phone screen rather dark).

I would definitely play more.

Whoa dude. SUPERB game! That's really all I can say, without sounding like a broken record listing off all the things you did well. Truly excellent. Wouldn't mind seeing this expanded into a full game (maybe with varying cargo or something). Well done!

Excellent artwork, especially the "final scene". That was chilling. Great story. The gameplay as a bit lackluster and could use some fine-tuning, but overall it was enjoyable for what it is. It was compelling, fun, and moderately challenging at times. Sound design was okay. Nothing really stood out, but maybe that was intentional. You definitely sold the mood of a weary, defeated man trying to do his best. At times the gameplay and events also added in a sort of understanding of his frustration, too. Great job!
