great difficulty level! I'm hooked. really really solid!
The simple moment to moment gameplay is fun! i agree with what other folks are saying about how its a good base for more complex gameplay, kind of like a shmup.
really made me laugh, haha. I loved the little animation when you grab him at the end, and watching the hand twist alllll the way back to the start was so fun! (especially since mine was sooooo tangled up)
Very cool!! I really liked how intuitive it is for a jam since its working off of existing genres. I can really see this being built up into a reverse breakout roguelite or something like that!
The most fun and zany character designs!! Such a great idea for a jam game, everything from the art to the presentation to the core mechanic is elegant and comprehensibly designed and fuuuun :)
nice survivor game!
lots of content wow! it's hard, but feels master-able. I think some more feedback and juice would make it easier, also feels like something begging to be played on controller instead of mouse/kb. Love the increasing difficulty settings and the boss designs. great job yall
I'm a Sensational Skeletal Summoner B) Awesome game, really wonderful art, music and atmosphere. The skeleton hosts stole the show, I was really excited to unlock all of them after each round. UI was super readable (it made the game feel bigger than a jam game!) and the game was easy to understand and pick up. I had a great time with it, though I did feel pretty quickly that the game could use some urgency -- I could basically double up every table with no consequence, and the pace doesn't get much faster as you progress through the days. I think making the cooldowns between clients shorter and a little more hectic would help! But its still very fun great job :)
Really good gnomes AND really good gnome songs. A full-fledged gnomesperience like no other. Trying to guess the long melodies makes me go a little bit insane but in a good way

really immersive game that balances puzzles and urgency incredibly well! the music, limited palette and scope of the levels really kept me locked in until i finished the whole thing!

very relaxing zen-like experience once you accept you will never move to the right

really appealing art style and satisfying to play! i do wish i could undo, or preview the repeater's radius. but super solid jam game i could play all day!

the art is so awesome, i love how cohesive it is all the way through the UI! super stylish and cute characters. great progression and lots of mechanics, very impressive in a jam game! its the kind of game that makes it really easy to point out things that aren't perfect, because you can imagine a "fully realized" version easily and its really good already.
I was surprised at first that the action phase wasn't tile based or rhythm based, i expected something crypt of the necrodancer-ish.

really cool, i love the frequency mechanic and would play a whole game of just that! but the platforming is also cool and unique. awesome jam game with helpful tutorial and great use of theme

very fun and silly toy-like game! i love that you can zoom and scroll out, feels like using miro or a drawing app except way better and cooler obviously
