This is a cool idea, but the game pace is a little bit slow because you have to stop all the time to create bridges for your character. Also as everyone else said, it's very punitive to die. With the right balance, this could make a very cool game.
The graphics and audio are lovely, but the gameplay is very frustrating and confusing. It is still a nice entry.
This game is very pretty, but it's also very hard ! Well done nonetheless
A cool hybrid between a deckbuilder and a puzzle game. I think there is a lot of potential in this game. Well done !
Nice game ! Doesn't follow the theme at all but it was fun nonetheless ! Well done
Nice take on the theme. The game was fairly simple but it was still an enjoyable experience. The graphics were also very cute !
Very clever gameplay. The game was pretty hard, but it's really interesting. Well done !
This game is kinda spooky ! The sound design really sells the atmosphere.
A very well polished game ! The visuals are simple yet striking, and the audio set the mood perfectly for the game. The cleaning sessions were a bit long though, but it's a really nice game overall !
Nice game. The first boss was a little bit hard, but the core idea of the game was cool. Well done !
Incredible work for a jam game. This game seems to have so much content put into it. The gaphics were extremely nice and everything felt very polished. Really well done.
(I'm a little bit sad because my playthrough ended when I clipped into a locked room with the dash and I couldn't get out)
A clever spin on the tetris formula. The game is well polished and the graphics are top notch. A really solid entry for this Jam.
Nice art and music ! The gameplay was innovative, but maybe lacked some feedback on why a deal was refused.
A very interesting concept, but there isn't much to do unfortunately.
Challenging and addicting game. It was really fun trying to smash theses bulldozers into pieces.
Nice match game. Simple, yet challenging. Well done !
Nice game ! The graphics are a little bit rough but the game play is cool. The one time use fireball is a little bit weird, it would have been better to have the spell be less powerful but on a cooldown. The elevator music made me laugh.
Nice tank game ! They controls well and have a nice weight to them. I didn't like the shared health with your ally, because you AI friend always dies, and so do you. I guess it's better in multiplayer. The graphics are top notch, and the music, while quiet, was fitting. Well done !
A really realistic cat simulator ! It reminded me of Reigns. Nice presentation and humor, but the choices gets repetitive quickly.
Really nice game ! The controls are a bit cumbersome but the gameplay is interesting and challenging. Gatherin the blood at the end of each round is kinda tedious, but it's the only issue I had with the game. The graphics feels well polish and the audio sets the mood perfectly. Well done !
A really nice minimalist fighting game. The graphics are really nice and the combat is surprisingly smooth for such a low resolution. Nicely done !
Really cool and original art style ! It's kinda sad that there is no feedback when dealing or receiving damage though.
A cute and creepy game. The mechanics were kinda confusing, and I think my 🐥 destroyed the world ? Nice graphics, and the music slowly descending into madness was a good touch.
Incredible game ! You managed to pair the narrative and the mechanics in a superb way, and everything feels really polished. Well done !
Well done, it's a good concept done right !
Interesting twist on the platformer formula. It's kinda short however, and the level design can quickly get frustrating because you keep bonking your head on the ceiling or hitting walls. The game has a nice art style, and it's a good submission overall !
Really clever puzzle, each new mechanic is introduced perfectly, and everything feels well polished. A great entry !
Nicely done, good level design and mechanics !
Nice concept and interesting mechanics. It's kinda hard to understand how to play at first. This game has a very good potential !
Addictive game. I feel that this concept could really be expanded into a proper game. There are some balance issues however (the start of the game is really slow, and the endgame is realy chaotic). The graphics were simple but charming. Nice submission overall !
Great concept, but it would be nice if the trolley was faster
Awesome little platformer ! Very polished (although there are some collision bugs), clever level design and nice artstyle. However I found that the Double jump was kinda broken, and made some levels far easier than they should be. It would have been nice if the later levels took the double jump into account.
Realy good entry overall !
Really cute bitsy game, gave me some good laughs !
Interesting concept, but the game lacks juice and feedback.
This game has some very impressive graphics with a cutesy artstyle, but a dark theme. The gameplay was fairly simplistic but still managed to be challenging. The music also realy add to the overall mood of the game. Nicely done !
Really nice contemplative experience. The graphics are very polished and kinda relaxing, and the music helps set the mood. The performance was quite poor on my laptop however, and the controls were a little bit clunky. Still a really good submission !
Nicely done, but I found that the game lacked strategy and quickly become repetitive ...
It's really nice to see people creating games for "exotic" platforms (at least for the ludum dare). The core idea of the game is nice, but it kinda get boring when you figured out a part of the maze and you just have to walk towards where you died.
I liked how the tutorial was setup. However, I think the gameplay is far too slow and frustrating, from the enemy taking too many hits while never being very challenging, to the player reload and walking speed.
A really clever idea, good use of the theme. I love how simple yet addictive the gameplay is !
Pretty graphics and fun little puzzles ! Really a solid little game with tons of polish !
Clever little puzzle game, with cool music and graphics. The difficulty was a bit random but the puzzle design was very solid overall !
A nice concept with good graphics and visuals. The core idea is very interesting and has a lot of potential, but there are some improvement that could be made :
I the main problem is that combat don't have any feedback at all. You don't see how much damage you deal or how much damage is dealt to you, so you can't see if your setup is effective or not. Also, being able to change your gear mid fight could be great, because that would allow you to quickly adapt to what's coming and would make the fight more interesting in my opinion.
Adding a rarity system would also improve the planning phase, because you could see at first glance what items you should keep and what's garbage.
Good game overall, nice work !
A very hard platformer with cute graphics and clever level design, and a high level of polish. Awesome music and graphics too ! I found the last character controlls kinda frustrating, especialy for the last level. Overall a very solid game, well done !
Also, rebinding of the controls was a very nice touch !
A very funny game with an incredible production value. Good voice acting too ! The core gameplay is very interesting, but it get boring as the challenge doesn't increase much. Still a very promising concept !
Cute little game ! It would be cool if you could see what move the enemies would do next.
Nice spin on the theme ! The game is simple but well made !
Charming little game, with wonderful art ! The timers are a little bit too short, and restarting from the beginning each time is pretty rough and quite stressful.
Very cute and funny game :)
Neat game, a nice spin on the idle game formula !
Well polished game. I really like the concept, but controls are very confusing and it makes the game very stressful.
Good job overall !
Nice game, good graphics and music ! Everything is well polished and the mechanics are fun. The game could use more weapons or interaction with your base, but overall it's pretty great !
Nicely done ! This is a really good platformer/puzzle game with cool graphics and music.
The screen shake is a little bit over the top though, and the difficulty is a little bit random. Deaths can also be very frustrating.
Great submission overall !
--- Note : If the game crashes at launch, try to run it on your GPU by right clicking it and choosing"Execute with graphics Processor > High Performance NVIDIA Processor" ---
Really nice to see a non euclidian 3d game made in so little time. The game is a little bit buggy, but I had a great time. Well done !
Great graphics and music. I find the game too hard however.
Nice game ! The graphics are nice and the concept is good ! I think there was a bug on the second trial, because the AI Judge said my evidence sufficient but the case was rejected.
Realy great spin on the tetris formula. The game is very confusing at first, but when you understands the mechanics it clics and it is very enjoyable. Also the whole package is very well polished, with a nice combo mechanic, great visuals and cute music !
Awesome game ! The graphics are very pretty and relaxing, and the puzzles are realy clever. The game difficulty is a bit random though, with levels that took me 5 minutes to complete followed by ones that I finished on the first try. Also there is an impressive amount of content for a jam game.
Add more building types and interactions and you could have a solid full game ! Well done !
Cool graphics and good presentation overall, but the gameplay is a little bit confusing
Simple but challenging little game :)
Good game ! Simple but effective.
Very nice concept, nice spin on the theme. The game is, fun, challenging and well polished !
This is a really interesting puzzle mechanic ! I find however that the board is too big. That creates a really slow beginning where you don't realy care about the placement of your blocs.
A very hard puzzle ! Also a clever use of the keyboard and the theme !
Nice puzzle game ! I really like the idea, it could totally be a full game !
I just find the map a little too big, and that makes thinking carefully at the beginning of the game realy difficult.
Fantastic idea and really smooth execution. I had an absolute blast playing this game with a firend !
My only complaint so far is that post with "neutral" karma can be too hard to guess, but they still deplete your bonus bar if you guess wrong, which is pretty frustrating.
Well done !
Nice machup ! Could be interesting to see what this concept could do in a multiplayer environment !
Really nice game, and the graphics and music are top notch. Could make a really fun mobile game (but it would become a little bit easier) !
Nice genre machup. However, I found the controls very confusing. I think it would be better to have the same button for attack/picking(when pressing down)/throwing (with a block in hand), and maybe the up arrow for jump. Good game overall !
Nice concept and good execution, however the game is a little bit to easy and can become a little bit boring.
Interesting game. While Platformer and puzzle arnen't the most incompatible genres, the addition of physics was a nice touch. Nice work !
That game is pretty hard, but it's always amazing to see games made for an unusual target in jams !
Very original idea and very nice execution ! This game is also very funny !
Really funny game ! But why did you remove the Music rating for your submission ? It has one of the best music of this jam so far !
Even if puzzle game aren't my favourite, this one is really well made ! Nice graphics as well. The game could use some easier levels though. Good job !
Fantastic idea ! I love how simple the presentation is but how much story you managed to show through these emoji ! ❤️
A very funny genre blend. Would benefit greatly from subtitles though.
Nice concept and great execution ! The game is very chill and I love how you added some quality of life feature like the quick select with the numbers keys. As said before, the game would benefit for a level selection menu or a replay button given how punitive the death system is. Anyway, well done !
Striking aesthetic and solid gameplay. I have some small nitpicks though : * The screen shake is too strong, which can lead you into loosing track of your position or not understanding instantly where you died * The player animation are nice and smooth, but it can cause it to disappear for a frame when in mid air, again resulting in some confusion * The death timer is a little bit long, and the levels don't reset their "trap" timer when you respawn, which can lead to some frustration when you die too much in a level.
But despite all of that, this game is rock solid. You managed to pull off a unique atmosphere using only ascii character and 3 colors, and the game has an impressive amount of content and polish for a Compo game. Congrats !
Interesting mix. However, I found that you only had to type the world at the opposing side of the screen then hit enter with the correct timing to catch the ball. It could have been more interesting if you had more words on the screen and if the ball was somewhat faster for more challenge.
I also find this game way too hard and very stressful. Nice execution however !
This game idea is interesting, but the CountDown / Cooldown mechanics make it very hard to focus on the upper part of the screen. The card direction mechanic is also very confusing and I found it hard to know where your action is gonna take you.
Nice game concept and good execution with the mechanics. It lacks however in graphics and would benefit from more feedback/juice.
Very cute and clever puzzle game ! At first I didn't understand how the card mechanics would make the game challenging, but you kept on adding new mechanics that would have you choose the right order of cards to play. The tutorials were also very smooth. This would make a really nice game with more levels and mechanics. Well done !

Wow, really neat little game. I love the attention to detail and all the content you managed to create in such little time. Great job !
Tower Tower Defence Defence by IAmWave 2021-04-27T14:56:52Z ♥ 3
Incredible and mindblowing concept ! This was so clever as an interpretation of the theme and as a tower defense game. I managed to get a tower to lvl 12 and reached wave 59. Great job !
Micro Doc by Raffez 2021-04-27T14:40:04Z ♥ 4
Nice little game. It had a surprising amount of levels for a jam game. The lack of sound was a bit jarring though, the game could have benefited a lot from more audio feedback.
[HTML5] Bodenhorizont by minotalen 2021-04-27T14:27:16Z ♥ 3
The term FrustraZen really defines this game quite well. A very nice spin on the theme, very interesting mechanics and a nice use of Puzzle script, well done.

Nice little game.I didn't managed to beat it though because my people keept dying of starvation ...
_arcuswarp by Lucky Zucc 2021-04-27T12:44:42Z ♥ 2
Nice game ! I liked the visuals (although the rgb split effect is too strong making enemies looks like there is two of them), but I found the game a little bit too hard.

Nice presentation but the game is too much hard. I don't think I managed to kill a single enemy ...
Dig it up, dog! by MaDuShI 2021-04-27T12:27:24Z ♥ 2
Very cute and funny game. It made me smile a lot! Good job !
20.000 LIGHT YEARS deep in THE SKY by Arivenzys 2021-04-27T12:15:51Z ♥ 4
Incredible game. I absolutely loved the creativity of all the different planets and the cute lore associated with them. The presentation is top notch and the game has a very soothing mood. One of the best jam game I played in a long time, congrats !
Geodiver 48 by exofrenon 2021-04-27T11:54:04Z ♥ 1
I found the game too hard, I couldn't get past the third level. It could use more lenient hitboxes and quicker respawn times to make it less frustrating.
HackDeck by Kerdelos 2021-04-27T11:39:59Z ♥ 1
Nice little game with an interesting pitch. The gameplay could use some animation to make clearer where you moved and what changed (card played/lost, cpu gain/lost). I didn't found the scan card to be that usefull 🤔 .
Flying! In Space! But with Asteroids! by Syrail 2021-04-27T11:16:13Z ♥ 0
Cool visuals and mood. The game is however very cryptic in what you have to actually do outside of piloting the ship, which is very chaotic. Something like an objective or score could have helped. Nice little game overall.
Somewhere Below by TheAxe316 2021-04-27T08:59:12Z ♥ 1
Wow impressive game. I'm always amazed by people who made full fledged 3d games in jam. Very moody and atmospheric. The only complaint is that it was hard to orient yourself in the game and that there was noot much feedback given when attacking enemies.
More Bass! by Substr 2021-04-27T08:51:52Z ♥ 2
Nice first jam game ! Gameplay was simple but enjoyable. It could use more punch on the attacks and more feedback when you get hit though.
Dig To The Core by pirate_pie_develops 2021-04-27T08:44:53Z ♥ 1
This game has lots of potential, but at the moment I think it lacks balance, which is crucial in these kinds of incremental games. The first few rounds are vary short and confusing, but once you understand the mechanics it's quite fun. However I got stuck too much time due to collisions error.
