Cool twist on the tower defense genre ! For now the game does not have many mechanics there is room for improvement so thats promising ! Good job !
Nice and simple gameplay but still has some interesting little mechanics. A very good idea for a jam game overall ! Congrats !
The knights sound effects are PERFECT ๐ ! Its a cool arcade mechanic, only the portal orientation is not very clear at the beginning but you eventually get the hang of it. Good job on your game !
Very good job considering the shortened time span ! Not much more to say, it is a solid 12 hours jam game ๐
I love the combat mechanic ! It has room for variation and little twists but the core is already very pleasant to play with. I am hyped for the rest of the game now ๐ Very well done !
Most of the downs of the game have already been written here, but I would still say that adding a step by step tutorial for the first summon could be a good thing so that players are not confused as soon as the game starts, there are a lot of elements to play with and in a specific order, so it is easy to fail your summon without understanding why. Nevertheless I think the core mechanic is very cool, I am sure you will get better at implementing ideas with time and learning of the new engine. Congrats for your game !
Ok so after playing it for a little while I kinda found tricks for the shape detection to work a little better, now I guess what could be done with a little more time is balancing enemies and spell cooldowns or something. Anyway it is a really creative idea and you were able to put it together in a shorter amount of time so.. Good job !
So I see that most comments already adressed the tiny issues with the game, on the other hand I think you really found a banger idea right there ! definitely some room for improvement but there is a lot of potential if you are willing to keep on working on the game. Well done guys !
It's a solid idea, I think just some more gameplay variants and a tiny bit of polish would improve the game so much, but hey it is a game jam after all so that's already very good in such a short time span. Congrats guys !
Nice and juicy !
Very solid entry ! Only thing I was a little confused about was the table thing at start. I guess putting one table by default could do the trick. Anyway I am convinced there would be a lot of potential if you were to make a more complete version with better upgrades etc. the core mechanics are already very cool ! Congrats !
I am amazed by all the little features you were able to add in your game, although some of them feel like they could have been replaced by some gameplay elements ๐ but I get the idea of making a hyper polished game and it honestly does the job, congrats !
Nice twist on the puzzle bubble type ! really like those tiny mechanics that you've added as well as the polishing work which is impressive ! Congrats !
Had a good laugh ! I love how accurate the chat is, even though it kinda hurts. Well done guys !
Interesting idea ! My brain went overheating a little but now I think I can do programmation
Played the game with friends (as I am too dumb to solve the riddles alone), we were all amazed ! Also nice conclusion letting young folks know you can get what you desire by summoning the devil ๐
Cute game, gave me a good laugh ! Good job ๐
All nice and cute ! I remember you guys from the chicken game which was already a classic, please keep on the good work this is brilliant ๐ !
I am amazed by the amount of content you guys were able to pull out in the span of a short jam, also I am wondering how do you guys manage to keep a clear objective with such a big team ! I have always thought going in jam with too many people was far from easy management wise. Anyway congrats to you guys you have made an amazing job !
Allowing the player to summon slimes is a cool twist to the formula. I just have one suggestion for the pacing though, 5 minutes might be a bit too long for the few mechanics available, so either shorten the win time or add some new ways to diversify the gameplay, but I am aware that this is hard to do in the time span of a jam. Very nicely done though, congrats on your game !
I was not hooked at first because it took me some time to understand where the game was going but oh man do I not regret putting the extra effort. Beyond all the graphics, sfx, music, monster design, incredible mood and everything, this game also has some great natural pace to it which I am sure required some work as well. Hats off, you got me inspired !
Woah that's an interesting idea, I could really see this type of game using a daily challenge mechanic like you have in some words games nowadays. Awesome job guys !
Loved the visuals, and it looks like you have got a great gamecore for a future 2d game now. Good job ๐
The core concept of the game is very interesting and I think it appeals for more polish ! For example allowing the user to end the buying phase quicker. Also I found it a little hard sometimes to summon my monsters for some reason, maybe it comes from that damn webgl. Anyway impressive job on the monster design, congrats for your entry !
Oh that is a nice one ! I find it impressive you came up with such a simple yet clever idea for a puzzle game, well done !
Ok it took me a little time to get the mechanic but it ends up working very well ! Congrats on the graphics, the palette, UI and in game visuals are very clean !
Your game settles a very good atmosphere ! the music and graphics were very suiting and I really like the character running animation ๐ Congrats on your entry !
First of all good job on the overall mood of the game, the sound effects are spot on. About the handbook mechanic I think it could be cool to have it as an overlay or at least placing it on the screen in a way that does not prevent the player from interacting with the game view. Congrats anyway and good luck for your project !
Great mechanics with plenty of room for upgrades ! Good job !
I felt like some slopes were harsh to climb and it impacted a bit the pace of the game, on the other hand the momentum jumps felt very good ! and I got all of the strawberries ๐ Very cute game !
The core mechanic is very funny, some adjustments for difficulty could be to shorten the inputs to summon, allowing longer levels. Nice game !
Woaah it is gonna be hard to top this, the graphics are crazy good, mechanics are really fun (especially spamming frog and causing a mess haha) and you event went in with the mario bros reference. Goated game in my book ๐
Nice execution of the genre ! The game would benefits from some sfx for sure, or maybe go all in on the juice effects ๐ Anyway the core mechanics are there and it works pretty well so good job guys !
I am impressed by the amount of options the game gives you, as a counterpart players may need a tutorial or hints on what to do. Very good job on the assets too, the game has a clear identity, good job !
the grid movement is a nice twist on the formula ! Nice work on the models too, nice game !
The game might need some balancing adjustments, for example it is kind of frustrating when killed enemies do not drop ingredients, but the gameplay idea is very clever and leaves room for upgrades ! also very cute artstyle ๐. Congrats !
I think you got yourself a nice turn based rpg game core ! the art was very neat with some good dialogs ! Gameplay was simple but as I said you already have some solid basis, good job !
Nice game ! simple but enjoyable, there must have been some hard work to make the left space detection run ! Cool entry and congrats !
Nice innovating concept ! Had lots of fun playing, Congrats !
I think this is my favorite one yet ! everything is so polished, Congrats guys !
Nice and cute game, cool physics (actually its quite impressive how well the game runs), and great levels ! Well done guys !
Quick and fun entry ! I think the world needed a neckbeard survival goty
Cute and clever puzzle game, the water flowing concept is quite innovating ! Good job !
Very polished and with some good dialog / scenario options, Congrats !
What an experience, bravo !
Sweet puzzle game ! levels are cleverly done, cool entry !
Arrrgh i get stuck at level 10, but it's a really good puzzle game, nice and simple !
Incredible mood and gameplay, visuals and sfx were great too. This is outstanding !
Aaaaaaaah this was so cool ! Very good job on the visuals, the sfx and the JAZZY JAMS ! Really nice Entry, Congrats !
Gotye imo ! (love the style and gameplay, good job :] )
I love the vibe the game gives off, as said above, you can get softlocked quite easily and at some point I just did not know how to get further. I think your survival system is great for something done in a jam though ! Good Job !
Nice entry ! I think it's cool you did not with a too simplistic concept and instead gave some context and atmosphere around your game (also I really like the tiny adventurer's goofy face)
Great mood and visual atmosphere ! it's a shame that player rotation does not work on html ! The game clearly appeals for more dynamic stuff, this could be something to dig. Cool entry and congrats !
Cool entry ! I love your audio assets ! pew pew pew !
Nice and fun tiny game ! Real cool kids do not leave space for other on the backseat of the bus !
I love the mood of your game ! also congrats for the work on all the assets, it gave me a really unique vibe and the result could honestly be a commercialized game !
Beautiful game, I played it for a solid 10 minutes and it is honestly very satisfying, great esthetic and music and matches the theme well! Good job !
Such a cute entry ! The paint artstyle is so cool, and the dialogs are funny, good job !
Cool Entry ! I really like the wall mechanic, it truly makes you wanna optimise the layout of the map
Damn, it seems that spooktober has indeed begun
Great entry ! the gameplay and esthetics are really sophisticated. A nice idea you came up with !
I love the artstyle of your game ! gives me the old school jet set radio future vibes. You get used to the controls after a few runs but I guess it is hard to balance these kind of mechanics in a jam. Good job anyway, really cool entry !
Nice entry ! Looks like we had a similar idea so its good to see some other inspirations, good job !
I crashed this poor bird way too many times but in the end my dear friend got the letter ! I loved the music, the style and the warm palette ! This might be my favorite entry so far ! Very good job !
I did not see last twist coming ! I was wondering why the game was so slow at first but it works so well to feel the change of mood afterwards. Good Work !
Nice and juicy ! And it has so much potential for future development. Very good entry !
I loved sheep raider so much as a kid it surprised me at first when I started your game haha ! Which means it's not so much about innovation but the mood is really well transcribed with the funky music and everything ! Wish there was more puzzles !
How many of them did I kill, 20 ? 30 ? But I did it all for the "pwah pwah" sound at the end ! The gameplay is simple but works well with the topic you chose haha, good work !
I like how you even pushed the cosiness into the game integration on the web page ! also the bike sound is pure asmr. Very good job !
I did not get the controls at first but once you find out the right way to play it really becomes enjoyable and even gets addictive ! Nice entry !
Man I dream of rocking my alto sax like this, im stealing the idea for the next jam hehe ! very good job !
The gameplay is simple but it has good feedbacks and you feel the need to start another round once you're dead. The fact that your crate has an uneven number of lives and you need to use two of them to kill zombies is also quite clever in terms of balancing. Really good job !
Maybe I did not pay attention enough but I did not encounter any bugs in my run. Also I guess balancing a game is one of the hardest part of a jam haha. Anyway it is a quick run and I think the visuals are neat, good job on that !
I think the base idea of the game is really neat, and the plot is funny and well thought ! I would have personnally liked the pace to be a bit faster, especially the movement speed on the map, but from the other games I played so far I think this one has the most potential ! good job !
I AM SPEED ! Fun and quick game, the sound design is good and I almost took pleasure hitting rocks at full speed, just wish there was a tchoo tchoo sound effect hehehe ! good job !
Damn the puzzles are very well designed, is it ok if i went through the rumba robot though ? not sure it was supposed to be solved like this lol. Anyway it was really enjoyable, very good job !
This one is juicy !!! I'm really taking jam lessons from this one design-wise. Even though the gameplay is simple, the color code makes it simple to understand at a glance, the audio and visual feedbacks also are on point ! Great Job !
The different movement mechanics are very smooth overall, and I really enjoy the look and feel of your game it just feels very polished which is sooo difficult to achieve in a game jam haha. Very good job !
The mood, the sounds, the menuing, you guys nailed it ! It really feels like it could become something more complete in the future!
This type of gameplay really works well with the mood ! I also liked how most parcels had their own specific story . Good work !

I am amazed by the amount of work this must have been during 3 days. The mood is really on point. The only thing that I found quite frustrating is the limited orientation angle of the antenna but apart from that this was a blast ! Congrats on your entry guys, very well done !

Nice look and polish ! I kinda feel like there are some rubiks cube-like patterns to get to the green area consistantly but I am to small brained to figure them out. Congrats on your entry !

This was very fun to play ! felt like a top tier DJ, bonus point if you change tab while playing it creates a soundloop for extra build up ๐. Congrats for you entry it's really cool

Really liked the noita style & harvest system, and the final boss was very cool too. Just had a bit of a struggle with my keyboard layout (azerty) but I don't think this will be an issue for most people ๐ Congrats on your entry !

Clever idea for the theme ! I think some of the puzzle/node aspects could have been gamified some more but the concept itself is good and it's impressive you managed to implement it in the scope of a jam. Congrats on your entry !

Hey did that alien just said the f-word to me ??? This is a very fun implementation of the genre, good job guys !
