I feel like the art style you chose for this game was very cute and fitting for your story. It was indeed, a leap of faith <3 <3

Never has traveling leagues under the sea sounded and looked so nice. Very smooth and nicely done game play and controls
I really like what you have going here. Definitely helped a TON being in fullscreen and it made it quite a bit easier to play without everything being cramped into a smaller version of itself. Be proud of this game. :)
This is such a great idea and you did a great job at portraying everything in this game. Bravo.
I really like everything about this game. Fantastic job with the audio and the visuals.
Did you guys have a plan to make it a HTML5 version? I wanted to have other people play it.
Verrry nice music and cuuute pixel art.
Music gives me nostalgia for some final fantasy/Dragon quest elements. I like your beginning training area to get everyone on the same page in how to get further in the game. Maybe have a button to allow the player to reread what the tutorial is if they missed it first being explained.
Beautifully done!
I feel like the jumps were a bit challenging and he definitely could benefit from a run function for the controls.
Love the music. It feels like a combination of games I have played in the past to strike up all sorts of feels as I feel trapped in this cave.
His design makes me feel like he is a boy scout π
This game is very challenging to me but I really like what you have going on here. Cool concept, great gameplay, and simple enough graphics that it really sets the mood for me as a player. Kudos!
Meow, I want everything in here to be in mice order or else SHOTGUN!
Very cool concept. I really like Lt. Catnip and his mission to keep things in line.
9 lives is a true gem lol
This is a very cute yet simple take on the theme at hand for this year's jam. I think you had a very nice balance on all of your elements used and overall you did such a great job
My name is the Space Pirate Ryoko!
Very nicely made. Some of the audio needs to be tweaked to not urk the players for long periods of time but overall I really like this game. Kudos!
This was fairly challenging for me and I tried to restart it on multiple attempts with no success. I really like the elements you have completed for this game and your concept but I wish I could like it more once I understand what is going on. If you keep working on it more, please message us to play again, no?
I really like what you have going on here. Our team wanted to do a mystery as well and we strayed from it on the basis that you need a lot of time to really get the audience into something very intricate and story driven. This game definitely has the basis for it but with more time, I feel you could push the idea even further
Just even opening up this game, the music and sounds are just so welcoming. Pixel art is spot on and the tracks are charmingly blended well.
The sound effects need to be lowered just a smidgen in comparison to how everything else is at a lower less jarring volume
Very smooth aiming controls and overall very responsive. I like the mood and your take on how to go deeper and deeper. I agree I wish I could target the full screen but in reality we can only shoot forward so why not let that be for this, no?
I like the voices you chose for the characters as well as the dialogue. I would only request to maybe have a script of what they are saying for those who cannot hear what is being said. I like the music and the sound effects. Highly enjoyable and I will now take my leave by going to H E double hockey sticks
I really love the graphics you have added in this game. It really made me rekindle why I like the Myst games so much. This is like a nice combination between them and adlibs. A very original game for this jam. I only wish there were sounds like page turning or scribbling or atleast some sort of music track to throw off the silence
I like how calm the music is to mirror how this groovy Shaggy like character is feeling as he descends deeper into the ocean. I feel like the controls are a little slow and clunky to get around some of the faster sealife but i do like that you have checkpoints near where you pop your bubble.
One with the see my dudes!
Those sounds are so real we are literally inside this guy and his lack of control. Fantastic job on this game. The controls fit the gameplay nicely and I was satisfied with this game as a whole
You were able to get sooo much done into this game for this shortly run jam. Defenitely kudos on smashing what you could into this game. I like the visuals. The audio needs to be tweaked a little but besides that you have a real gem here
A few elements could of been added to help let you know your health but besides that very playable. Love these types of games.
I like what you have going on here and it is soooo unique. I love it so much. Same to a previous commenter where I will be coming back to this game periodically to test out how far I can get next time.
I like the concept you have for this game but the controls were just too confusing to fully enjoy what you have going on here. Also, this game could use some music and sound effects to keep the player engrossed. Maybe implement an "x" to show where you intend to send the yeti guy but aren't allowed to reach due to it being too high or out of reach to increase the playability.
Great job on this game
I am having issues understanding when you are supposed to buy and sell in association with the left golf-swing meter. I've played it a few times and I still don't understand what I am supposed to do.
I like the idea of making a game about stocks and going deeper in debt.
I've never been a huge fan of spooky games and this one truly is another one to be put on the list. So creeped out but I was able to play it for a bit. Great job in creating this dark atmosphere with the lighting and the sounds. I got so lost and felt so trapped when suddenly I was eaten.
I will share this game with my friends who like scary creepy games.
No sleeep for meeee
Such an enjoyable game. I really like what you have going on here. Such charm! I want to play this on my console
I was a little weirded out about the controls but I was able to slowly get used to them. If only this was real in many ways lol Fun to be had all around
Psychology at its finest. I really love this and your overall mood you set for this game.
I like this entry in this year's game jam. I kept going deeper and deeper and then realized there were bullets and enemies everywhere. Music was awesomely calming with a hint of intrigue as you explored the various areas. Even though I lost my tail very often, I was able to get pretty far into it. Very enjoyable and I hope for the best for this entry.
This is a new take on the song "I've been working on the railroad". I laughed at myself the first time I played because I forgot to place the rails and wondered why the train crashed since the roadway was mined clear.
I really like the mood for your game as well as the graphics and the music. Keep it up :)
I thought this game was a very interesting take on a tower defense game. The endless descent into the deep cavern fit the theme quite well. The music made me feel like it was leading up to a jazzy version of the Christmas-like song of "God rest ye merry gentlemen" and instead it stayed true to itself.
I thought it was a funny thing to see moles umbrella-ing down to my cart because they too burrow down deep into the earth.
What I did not understand at first was what I was buying to begin with while walking the shop the first time. Maybe explaining that each arch on the descending platform stood for a place you could purchase a particular gun. Besides that, I really liked this game. Keep it up :)
This was very cute and well thought out as a game. I hope to play this game a few more times with some family members that are younger to see their reactions to it. Smash up job guys.
This game drove me bananas and not in a bad way. Great job on this. I like how you chose to make this top down. Added a very nice element to the gameplay. Fantastic job
Game wasn't loading properly on my computer but I like your idea
Game wasn't trying to run smoothly on my rig but I really like your concept!
I. Can't. Stop. Playing. This. Game.
Loving every little bit of this
I had issues with the controls but I like how this game looks and feels.
I like how this looks!
Great job on your first jam. Some controls aren't intuitive but took some adjusting to
Very interesting. It made me feel like I was playing a video game version of that game where you have to contort yourself in order to fit through a shape or else you fall off. Getting into shape with Josh Pit!
Game wasn't trying to run smoothly on my rig but I really like your concept!
Had some issues getting this to run but I love this concept.
I love this!
Loving the voice. Reminds me of Sin City meets Dark Knight but great job!
I like this!
Unity didn't want to run on my firefox nor chrome browser but I like the choices you made for this game
Kind of lost on how to play but I like how it looks
Unity didn't want to load in my firefox or chrome but I like what you have going on here
So many different features and not sure what does what but the game is very interesting. Maybe have sounds or music so even if he is a lil boring drill, the player doesn't turn the game off from silence
I expected a different control scheme for this game but fun none the less
I really liked this game. Made me feel like I was a mole
Cool concept.
Browser had some issues with text being ginormous
I like how the enemies are flat and you rotate them to turn the other way. Stylistic
Victoryyy! Very nice
I like what you have going on here especially the versatile control schemes for this game
I like this
This game was challenging for me because I love me some DDR but I was trying to figure out where I was supposed to time the arrows.
Verrry nicely done
Game wasn't trying to run smoothly on my rig but I really like your concept!
Wow cool idea!
I like how epic the music is for this. Deep spaceee
A few buggy sections but the thought that there were layers and layers of corporate hell lol
You really hit the mood for this game
OMG these pixels <3<3<3 Whomever is in charge of the art for this game deserves a medal
Unity didn't wanna load for me in chrome nor firefox but I like your concept
Controls made me feel like my fish had the heart of a truck but I like what you have going here
Love the happy music and the lil animations. Great job
Visuals are top notch
I like the story!
Never thought I would see the day where vikings walk with light sabers and shoot out hadokens. Some of the jump collisions are a little weird on the land but I like what you have going on
I love your characters!
Games like this just feel good. Great job
This is so epic
I like the take on using browser elements to play a game.
Unfortunately, my browser was lagging seriously and it made dodging everything very painful
I love marble madness clones. Very fun and challenging besides quite unforgiving.
One thing to mention is my marble kept getting killed and the wall wasn't anywhere near it. It is the second puzzle.
I like how this was put together. Music is nice.
While running it it froze my chrome for about 3 minutes loading and stuttering while midplaying.
Unity didnt want to run on chrome or firefox for me but I like the premise
I like your sounds and music you have for it. Very good.
Broken hearts are everywhereeee. I like the targeting concept where it is subtly coming after you more and more the further you progress.
Possibly having a screen to tell you how long you lasted before being crushed by a broken heart. Not really sure how the concept of deeper and deeper is portrayed here.
Verrry nicely done. Music, sound fx, light indicator for where you are digging; even cut scenes! Love it!
Maybe make an indicator that you are having a status issue like drowning.
Very cool concept. Congrats on your first Jam.
Possibly choose different duller colors for the main character or add a warning to light sensitive folk that your main character is so colorful while moving around. Also, maybe fill in the color when he is jumping so one won't lose where he is going.
And were the dead versions of yourself supposed to still exist in the game afterdeath as platforms?
Unity refused to load on my rig. Liking the concept though
Ahh yesss. I love me some music games!
Nicely done! I really like it.
Maybe make the block that comes to crush you the length of the play area. With its size, it seems like you can just move to the side to out maneuver it but you die anyways. Also, jumping in some areas allowed me to jump higher than the simple jump i needed to get further into the game
You can never go wrong with more bass. Digging the sounds
Couldn't get this one running on my end but I really like where you are going with this concept
Nice and simple. Keep it up
Nicely done team!
Unity engine was not loading for me in chrome or firefox. Really liking the concept tho
Very calming music and sound effects. Ecco was one of my favorite games as a kid and I feel this one is also right there up my alley
I never thought I would ever see a sticky note game. Didn't understand how to get to winning but that is okay
Impressed at what I am seeing with the amount of time you had for this
Also got a little lost. Some reason the Unity applet kept loading bigger than the frame so I could only read part of the dialogue.
Very nice! Art is 100!
I got stuck a few times but this is such a cool idea. Elevators, the bane of my existenceeee
Unity would not load for me but I really like what you have going on here
I really like the sounds and the music. Physics on the ship were spot on. I laughed when i smashed right into the rock with a KLANK. Maybe add a "strobing light" warning to those of us with migraines or other light triggers
I really liked it!
I love me some pixels. Diving made fun!
I like your pixel art used. Couple mechanics can be tweaked but I like what you have started here
Very creative. I like the out-of-the-box thinking
Unity wouldn't let me run this game but I really like what you have going as a concept
Definitely worried about Mie. Let us all not be like her and her deep issues with sleeping pills.
Very dark take on the theme and the music resembles this twisted concept. You are enough :)
I really am not understanding what I am supposed to do. I placed items down but nothing is happening. I can''t start the game at all.
This is such a strange concept. Only thing I would change is maybe making the font bigger if you choose not to be full screen. I have made so many friendsssssss
Really loved this one!
Very deep. I liked it!
I thought this was a really awesome entry. I like the length of time you have for power to push you to complete your tasks before it runs out. Music reminded me of the last area of Borderlands 2.
Only things I could do with is maybe brightening the environment to see what was going on a lil better in the beginning as well as add some sort of illuminating factor on the ship so you know the game is working
Unity didnt load but I really like your concept you have going here
The lil bacteria is a bit hard to control as he is flinging himself around. Maybe have a cut scene or just 1 frame to show who David is and that you are a bacteria. I thought I was David and then I killed myself wondering what I was supposed to do.
I like the idea of going deeper and deeper into a person and great attempt at ragdoll physics.
What a way to have flipping fun! Very nice music and concept behind this. Great job
Definitely cool idea. Maybe try to still complete it how you want it
Had some issues running this but I really like your concept
Had some issues running this on my end but I really like your concept
Had some issues running this but I really like your concept
All of this trash is reminding me of college. You can never run away from trash. Just ask Grouch.
Wonderful fun and .... done!
Very interesting. I think the control scheme might need to be revamped so its easier to turn. I felt like a Mouse Truck trying to turn. Also it was almost unplayable without fullscreen.
Also, bug. The timer still ticks down when you get caught and you continue to walk without restarting it.
I like this concept, great job
I see other people mentioned maybe some sound effects or music but I got to a full line of black and it would not let me delve deeper. I just stood until my untimely demisedemise.JPG
Also, maybe an animation for the digging deeper too. I do like what you have done here. Keep it up
Definitely glad I had 2 screens to play this. Very intense. Definitely could use some music or sound effects and maybe a short in-game tutorial to get you going.
Couldn't get Unity to load on my end but I really like how you constructed the depth for this project. 5D Minecraft hoooooo.
Very cute concept! Love it
Compy would not run it for me. Clowns always are a win!
Definitely challenging. I keep thinking it is Malfoy going through a portal resembling the Mirror of Erised
Definitely needed the tutorial on this one. Nothing like shooting your shot and then being powerless
Interesting choice of visuals. Really adds to the game
Game won't run on my end but I like this game concept
I had a few run ins with things I wasn't supposed to attack but besides that it is a fun game
This game was very dark for me. Maybe adding a setting to brighten the game as well as mention perks to picking up each power up
Coudnt get this one to run but I like the concept so much!
Couldn't get this one to run but I like where your thoughts went for a game
Huzzah GMS!! Great job!
Couldn't get this one to load but I realllly love the concept
I like the concept. I had a few sections that were challenge but I figure its more of me needing to get used to the gameplay.
Besides the goal being to make money for Lady Cerulean to notice you, I think it is an interesting way to mine a mine. Though I think for some of it I was digging up, which isn't digging deeper
Sim and all the way
Nicely done. Duck Hunt meets Pitfall
Love this!!
Wow i wish i had a NDS flash card to play this around the house. Such ingenuity.
First look: It reminded me of Doom and then I started to move around the cabin. Definitely could use some extra controls so you can strafe from side to side or use the mouse to aim where you are looking. This brought me back to old school plane controls of Resident evil or even the old Windows screen saver with the brick maze.
I like what you did combining the minecraft dirt bricks to make you feel you are going deeper underground
Very nice. Definitely could take advantage of the upgrades being on their own panel that was opened with a key stroke. I lost a lot of fish, and ran into some rocks because I could not see. I like how everything starts taking a toll the deeper you go. Realistically awesome
Sim Trash! Remember: There's no trash burnings on Tuesdays or Thursdays. That's why my citizens were so mad! =.O
Couldn't get this one to run but I really like the concept
Ohh i love my lil abnormality!!!
PS. The actual links aren't coded properly to open when clicked. I think they just need the "http://" added
I liked this one a lot. Great job
Loved the theme. Definitely felt like the drill was overly slow and dragged your game's speed but besides that, I really like the design. Great job
Definitely wish there were some sounds and music. Very nice take in going deeper into weight gain though I think the duck was really just a growing babe. No fat at all
Definitely a race to the bottom but.. this person partook in all of these items but didn't even idle his time away on his phone. Upstanding!
Fantastic
Very nicely made
The sounds are so comical. Great job guys
Computer refused to run this but really like the concept
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
The return of Sim Ant!!! I agree about giving tips on what to eat and what not to eat so we know what to go towards and avoid. There were some lines that went through the graphics from time to time while walking around. Otherwise I really loved this idea
I like the use of the sub and claw. I felt the use of the claw was a little clunky. It wasn't as responsive as I thought it should be if you were using it to get fish. At first I didn't even realize I had control over the claw because it wasn't moving or clickable. Having the ship sink like a rock after the oxygen runs out is a little harsh but definitely adds to the challenge
I really am having difficulty understanding this one. I'll pin this one so I can come back to it again another day
Very interesting concept but had some issues getting it to run
Ship movement felt a lil slow to me but I really like how you added the decreased sight of sealife the further your depth. Very well done
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
I really appreciate how you have varyied the coin sound effects when you pick up money. Less harsh for the ears which is always a plus in my book. Cool concept. I can't stop playing it. ALL OF THE MONEY's MINEEE
Nice take on the theme for this. The game crashed a few times for me but I like what I did get through
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but great job guys
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really liked the concept
Had some trouble on my end getting this to run but really like the concept
I like the concept. After running all of the turtles over with my ship, I really don't understand what frees them from the plastic. The claw just bumps them but wasn't effective with freeing them.
Wow I was NOT expecting this at all for your game. Very nice way of displaying cause and effect. Dark but very gritty and real. Music and other elements like the graphics and game play all mirror this. Jumping did have some challenge but no more than some of the other published games I have played out there. Great job team
Had some runtime issue for the game but I like the premise
Very interesting concept. Only wished the jump button wasn't up but besides that great job
Definitely went off to explore your full level you created while semi-being on task. Very nice design and concept for this game. 30 deaths and counting
Very Well Done
I really like the concept but my brain wasn't trying to control all of the functions needed to play this. I am going to try to play it again while not low on sleep. Game crashed a few times for me.
Very cool concept. Maybe having the title screen as the first panel of you diving deeper so you know you are moving down. White background made me feel like I was clicking the wrong controls. Very cool. When the wildlife started torpedoing my ship I started laughing.
Couldn't get this to run on my end but really like what you are doing here
I agree about being able to join a random player or bot. Very nice ingenuity for this idea
Couldn't get this to run on my end but really like what you are doing here
Couldnt get this to run on my end but really like concept
I first tried to play this game without reading the instructions and was extremely lost. After a second try it was quite a bit more immersive. Very cool inception concept.
BTW, the title screen was very ASMR for me.
When he turned into a caffeineless zombie I rofl'd. Very cool concept with this game. Deeper and deeper into caffeine addiction.
It was also very weird not having the controls be WASD. Using Q threw me off at first
This game was a challenge for me but I really like the concept!
I really thought this game was awesome. It took me a bit to figure out what I was supposed to do with the ore once I picked it up but after I talked to the girl again it was a little easier. I ended up dumping all of my ore on the floor a couple more times for learning controls. Is there a way to recover the dropped harvested ore?
Game isnt working on my end but I really like the concept
Very nicely put together
Our team was thinking of doing a game similar to this. Nicely done.
I really think this is N ink oreible game
I had trouble running it on my end but I really like the concept!
I had trouble running it on my end but I really like how the graphics and artstyle looks
I had trouble running it on my end but I really like the concept!
I had trouble running it on my end but the concept was really cool
I had trouble running it on my end but seeing these reviews makes me wish my computer was better
I had trouble running it on my end but the concept is relaxing
I had trouble running it on my end but I really liked the concept!
I had trouble running it on my end but I really like the concept!
Fantastic!
Any update on the fix?
Definitely can benefit from making an itch.io account and posting the game information there
Cool idea
Loving the cats β€β€β€
I had quite a bit of fun trying this one out
Same. I think this would do so well if it was html 5
This is such a fantastic take on the premise of jamming. Can't wait to play this with my tabletop friends
The web version of this game isnt really loading correctly. Besides that, this game was quite fun. Great job
Tons of fun! This game is addicting
I like how you get to earn powerups the further you get into the game to help you get more skillful at killing the fish. Sound and graphics really took me back to old school games.
Very awesome concept especially since you took this on as a compo. I like your choice to use an example to show the user what to do with the trampolines. \o/ Flower RETRIEVED!
I really liked this hilarious concept for this year's theme. I went into testing this game without reading the description of the game. Very unique. Great job guys. The gameplay is very responsive and intuitive. Can't wait to play another game your team designs.
LD50 — Delay the inevitable (68)
Dawn of the Karen by BougieBirdie 2022-04-18T18:35:15Z ♥ 3
I like what you have going on with this game. Karen's will always be funny to me especially if I am not the one dealing with one.
+ I like how you have various Karen's to show the versatility of a Karen. + The radio is quite accurate with the atmosphere of a lot of these corporations. + Midway through my 3rd game play I realized the Karen's were after me and not the cans so taking them out with angles was an interesting change of tactics. + I like how you have the setting to turn on or off the radio. I'm not sure how many of those morale slogans are in your game but I could see people not want to hear them repeat too many times. I didn't mind it but I have an internal mute button from retail. + I laughed when my second job looked just like the job I just got fired from.
- Maybe add in some Karen's that are masculine to show how versatile a Karen really is. - Maybe add in some music that varies or escalates/crescendo's the more Karen's are on the screen (Some basic examples: "Oh Fortuna", or "In the hall of the mountain king") - Same as music, maybe 'pitch shift' the audio "uh huh" sound so it is random what the Karen sounds like - Maybe add a button or a function to have you rebuild or replace your can walls since you essentially are at work. Not important but just a thought
Great entry and down with those inevitable Karen's!
The Longest Commute by infinitycore 2022-04-17T04:13:58Z ♥ 2
Awesome title screen and art style choice for this game. Music is very nice
Biggest problem I have is: + Are there actual controls to this game? I have tried every button and nothing works. If no controls, maybe describe this so player knows what to expect so less aggravation.
It might also positively impact the players experience if your intentions behind this game were a little more clear and pronounced.
Great idea and hope you might be able to describe to me what the premise is.
Balance The Stick by miziziziz 2022-04-17T04:03:22Z ♥ 0
Very neat idea. That stick will indeed inevitably fall. The soft spoken game loss dialogue is awesome.
- The physics behind the stick are a little weird. It's almost as if gravity or its center of gravity has no bearing on where the stick goes. - Maybe add in a variance in the music
All in all very complete game.

Keep It Steaming by Jvdwijk 2022-04-17T03:20:41Z ♥ 4
Very cool concept. Also love the character's name :) So far, best my train ran for was 35 days
+ Love the voice sound effects for the train's tasks + I like the art style for this game + YEET caught me offguard lol
- Maybe find a way to communicate clearer that the red bar on the top of each car is the indicator that something on that car is breaking - Raise height of "keep it steaming" words so you can see title of game when in "play" menu or remove it entirely - The target area to select 'wagon' or 'wagon cart' should be a bit bigger. I tried selecting it but it wasn't highlighted on the entire button. - maybe find some music to help create more atmosphere to the game - I was able to still interact with a task behind the "fix the wagon" HUD screen was up
Loved playing this one and hope I can get a better score
Night Frights by TheInkSkeleton 2022-04-16T17:58:45Z ♥ 1
Nice! I'm glad you got around to finishing your game. I had stopped by your game a few times the first week of submission and the link wasn't available. When I saw other people also mention it wasn't posted, I left it at that.
The wait is over! And by the way whyyy a horror game? Lol
This game had me on the edge of my seat over and over. You did a great job adding in all of your elements together to make this game an experience.
I see other people mentioned the tutorial so I'll leave it at that.
Very dark and disturbing game πββοΈπ¨
Duck It! by Squidly 2022-04-15T04:14:16Z ♥ 1
Beautiful pixel art and very nice animations. The muscle duck had me dead when I first saw it. Music is very fun and enjoyable along with mild very well mixed in sound effects
+ Dark Souls bonfires give me the feels + Depth and exploration really helps extend the gameplay + Power ups are a great feature
- Maybe tone down the brightness of the flash when you hand things in and light the bonfires for light sensitive folk.
I will never look at ducks or toast the same again.
Healer's Handbook by javi7 2022-04-15T02:43:26Z ♥ 3
I like the mix of skill added with the sense of urgency to get your spells done as soon as possible before more afflictions happen.
Very tough and challenging game and I like this game a lot. It took me a bit to understand which order I needed to do the symbols in but I was able to keep my people alive a little longer atleast once I figured it out.
Great job on this one!
Crystalysis by jordantanner 2022-04-15T01:48:20Z ♥ 1
I like your futuristic choice you made as an artistic style for your game play. Matching that with some space/orbital sound effects really matched the mood for this. You made good use of the small area you designed because as the time ticked down, the arena felt so large because I could not get to the crystals fast enough. I reallllly loved your in-game controls in the upper right hand corner. I kept referencing back to it and that wouldn't of worked out if it was only shown to me once right before I even began to play.
+ My game play was a little hampered by the fact that it would slow down and lag each punch I dealt and even more when the crystals exploded. + I feel like maybe the shattered particles of the crystal could dissolve a little faster because I mistook them for collectibles at first. + Maybe an indicator that the crystals are excelerating their spawn rate AKA Wave 1.. 2.. 3.. etc.
All in all, I really liked it and hope maybe you can add some
Turbo Toilet Tomfoolery! by RonanRory 2022-04-15T01:31:13Z ♥ 1
This game is so silly. Obviously relatable toilet humor and a play on the action of "get out of the way NOW".
It took me a bit to get the movement smoothed out but I eventually got used to it. I just kept imagining if someone really was bouncing off everything as they are literally about to mess themselves.
Great job getting this one out there and I look forward to seeing either more development on this one or your next game. Keep it up, you got this!

Thank you for sharing this game with me. I think it is well made and charming. The music is fitting and the little pixel skeleton pandas had it coming!
+ I kinda wish the shotgun actually had sprayfire like a shotgun would. I lined up the enemies but could only shoot at 1
Definitely going to have more tries on this one to see if I can survive longer. Well done.
P.S. That signature splash is boss.
Corbeille de Fruit - A sΓ©rie noire investigation by LeoM 2022-04-14T19:23:46Z ♥ 2
The writing for this game is really nice. This game definitely borders on how someone must feel if they have dementia / Alzheimer's. I felt it was sad that the story kept looping as you tried to remember everything.
You did a great job at this game.
Only thing I would suggest is maybe slowing down the camera controls of looking around the room or having a locked camera.
This Is Sketchy by Danial Jumagaliyev 2022-04-14T19:03:49Z ♥ 0
I love the concept you have here. I reallly wanted to try it but I could not get the game to run. I tried it on Firefox and Chrome and they are stuck on the loading screen. I am on Windows 7.
Procrabstination by sebastianscaini 2022-04-14T18:58:30Z ♥ 3
You are my fav game. 5's all around. This game has me so ded. WTH guys whyyy?!
You hit every love I have. Randomness, minigames, cool people sounds synth'd together. This game is amazing.
+ Maybe lower the music a bit when the radio is on. I couldn't understand what it was saying.
Sweet Bedtime O' Mine by K4M1 2022-04-14T17:40:11Z ♥ 0
I really thought this game was so cute. I like the concept of trying to have a longer sleep.
+ I really liked the use of the pixel art as your style for the game + The sounds and music were a nice fit for the game
- Maybe have the text not be 3D-glasses-colored. I couldn't read what were the controls or the attacks and it really hurt my eyes. - Maybe add in more sounds for the enemies besides their attacks. - Only enemy I thought that stuck out was the drill so maybe find another enemy that interrupts sleep during the nighttime. - I broke the first room with the alarm clocks. I ended up walking to the left and then popping out of the navigable area and was soft-locked. Maybe add somewhere how to restart too in the game cause I had to back out of the game to look at controls. Something to keep in mind. I broke the boss somehow too and it stopped attacking me. I am running Win 7, and played using Chrome.

Last Breath by Adrenallen 2022-04-14T02:45:55Z ♥ 1
I like the concept and definitely felt how bleak trying to save the minor. Choosing pixel art added to the atmosphere of the game. I totally didn't know the item in the corner was dynamite and I blew myself up so bad lol
Suggestions/Issues:
+ Full-screen mode doesn't actually full screen the game. I was using windows 7 and chrome + Possibly adding the capability to pickaxe above you
Untitled circle game by Nestral 2022-04-14T02:27:47Z ♥ 1
I like what you have going on here. That poor blue dot has so much to live for but it is inevitable it will collide with a red one. I like the mechanic where you can walk through walls and they can't.
Some suggestions: + Displaying what the controls are in the game itself or having a tutorial. + Maybe add in some music + A silly add in could be is if you get the red circles to unite/stack, count that as points too
The game is challenging, and games need that. I just need more time getting better at it. Good Luck out there!
ReactorWrangler by Edmanbosch 2022-04-14T02:02:37Z ♥ 1
Very interesting concept you thought of for this jam.
I like the juggle the player has do deal with in order to keep the reactor going. I felt like Homer trying to manage everything and kept wondering how the reactor was functional for so long without melting down.
Some suggestions:
+ Make tutorial a little louder and stop the gameplay while each item is being explained. Since it was added postjam, I understand that it is just added for the betterment of the experience + Explain reason for why a player dies/gets game over + Maybe even adding in a scoring system to know how well/long the reactor stayed on
Good luck on getting 20 ratings and swing on by ours whenever you have time π

This game is quite addicting. I like what you have going on here.
Cope till Dawn by edgeboyo 2022-04-14T01:36:00Z ♥ 2
Loving the pixel art. I definitely feel the bleak outlook of there being an over-abundance of zombie critters trying to kill us. The music reminded me of a game I loved playing as a kid
+ Music on title screen, maybe add your credits and info about controls + Play button only clickable once on title screen. Since it faded out, it seemed like the button didn't work but might also be because of the speed it fades out too. + Add a reset button as an option separate from being killed + Allow being able to fall off of ledges or jump from it. Sometimes it is hard to discern that you are stuck on a ledge and that is the reason why jumping doesn't work + Controls were a little funky to me but I figure with time I can get used to it. Any WASD controlled game that makes Z an attack makes my pinky sad and scrunches up the hands.
I like what you have going here and I hope you can continue to work on this game

I really liked your concept for this jam
The music, and the overall look of the game is so playful. Controls were pretty easy to pick up and helped me bring out my inner skater-naut

Fantastic job again

The Joys of Being Undead by CodeRaurus 2022-04-13T19:02:03Z ♥ 1
Nice tower defense game. That last stage I keep letting one of the staves die but the other 2 will live on forever. Pixel art on all the characters and world are on point and I enjoyed the look.
Same as what others have mentioned that there is a wish it was a bit longer but from watching your stream today, I know that some is coming. Thanks for hanging out with me this morning and good luck developing!
DLAY's Buffet by BinaryPrinciple 2022-04-13T18:48:54Z ♥ 0
All hail DLAY!
Very nice concept. I liked the sounds and the mood of the game
- Possibly choose another key on the keyboard besides the space bar for interactions. F is pretty quick if it must be the left hand. - Maybe add in graphics of the island being destroyed by DLAY as an effect
Great job
KEEP THE POWER by caudatecoder 2022-04-13T18:35:33Z ♥ 1
Very interesting take on the theme.
I do like the music and him stepping to the music and it definitely looks like he is stomping on the cops or journalists when he runs into them.
- I don't think I got the jist of how to play the game. Essentially, it was inevitable that I couldn't get good at breaking the laws for my own benefit. (Which is a proper lesson lol)
- Maybe put less of each person so it seems feasible to avoid stepping on them in general. - Minor syntax items: 1) "thoug" instead of "though" is a typo on your tutorial section 2) Try switching which shoulder is raised when the leg is out on the Dictator's walk.
Big props to you on completing this compo.
The Journey of the HMS Theseus by Tad 2022-04-13T18:07:02Z ♥ 1
Land Ho!
+ I like the layer aspect you added to your ship so it allowed each swabbie to man a layer + The various patch jobs made me chuckle. Made me feel like the swabbies would keep asking "Who on in-game Earth built this ship?!" lol + When my ship sank it made me laugh.
- Maybe add in a different sound effect when the sails break. I originally thought it was the hole mechanic breaking a hole I was already fixing and was going to mention that to you guys. My ship speed seemed horribly slow, thought that was a mechanic for your game and had originally stopped playing. - What is the inevitable part? My ship sunk in one game and I made it to land in another.
I think it is a cool little game and thank you for sharing it on feed
QUADRATORUM by Blue Pin Studio 2022-04-13T17:41:22Z ♥ 1
Very nice and solid entry for this year's theme.
+ The inevitability made me laugh. I forgot what was told to me in the beginning then freaked out "Oh no the square!" + The graphics are very nice + Music with bullets - Very nice.
- The background could be a few shades dimmer so the circling rectangles don't distract too much from piloting the circle but overall is not too bad.
I am a huge fan of Geometry Wars and I would always try to time my bullets to the music. The fact that you linked it for me plus had music changes depending on what wave is happening really did it for me.
Great job
GRIDLAST by cakts 2022-04-13T02:33:26Z ♥ 1
Thanks for keeping me company in so many of these Ludum Dare streams @cakts!
Seeing this game played and actually playing it is soo much different. As you already know, I love what you did with the music and how it is connected with how many enemies are on the board. I can definitely see myself getting very lost in this game and I appreciate that so much.
+ I really like your tutorial at the beginning of the game. It helped me know the mechanics you put in. + It took me 3 tries to really get used to the games features but it helped me understand and appreciate the gameplay mechanics, because I sure didn't before lol.
- I was attacked by an enemy that was off of the grid so unsure if that is a part of the gameplay vlcsnap-2022-04-12-22h29m03s138.png - Also maybe mention the little box things that show up over time are just bricks and not treasure boxes. I totally used my 2 extra movement spaces to uncover it's just a brick X-D
I have seen 12/15 cards but I hope to be able to uncover them all soon! Highest wave won: 6 π
Do you have any plans on doing a mobile port?
Much appreciated and see you on the next stream we cross paths on!
Save Dave by frederikja163 2022-04-12T17:54:34Z ♥ 1
+ I like your choice for this years theme. + I like how the viruses don't always go straight for the path to the brain to give it spontaneity. + I like the dialogue for poor Dave
- Adding music and sound effects can enhance the gameplay a bit. - Adding a title screen - Either adding a voice or increase the size of the font for Dave's dialogue - Adding in a tutorial to help explain what the "W" key actually does - Add in more features as a bonus like a 'z-pack' to purge all the viruses for that instant
Stuff starts getting so real when the viruses clump together. Well done. You got a lot done in such a short amount of time.
Protocol Delta by itsBoats 2022-04-12T03:13:50Z ♥ 1
Really liking the graphics you have going on for this game. The sliding green splash screen is a very nice touch. Music is also very well done
Only beef I had about the game was that the mouse was how the mouse was how you target the dash for the ship. I'm just not very good at those so that's on me.
Also, maybe make it easier to differentiate between the front of the ship and the back.
Fantastic entry
Extremely Exteme Sports by kuviman 2022-04-12T03:06:23Z ♥ 2
Fun game. I'm thinking this is the game that works as a multiplayer and unfortunately, I played when it was just me. In spite of that, I really enjoyed it and how easy the controls were in order to play. Eventually I will get past my 20k score
Only add I would suggest is putting in a leaderboard
Fantastic job
Delay The Inevitable by eboatwright 2022-04-12T03:00:49Z ♥ 0
Very nice shoot-em-up game.
I realllly love the music and the concept of shooting the enemy ship to progress in the game. Graphics all fit nicely to your game.
Maybe make the items you are to dodge a bit bigger or possibly make the background dimmer. They are competing with each other visually and are a little painful to the eyes. Possibly add an epilepsy warning on your game due to it being very light/dark intensive Maybe include a health bar for the ship you are shooting or a score so it gives you the feeling like you are getting somewhere even though inevitably you aren't lol
Overall really liked this one and I hope you get that last play in soon!
Different Strokes by Scott Steffes 2022-04-10T03:30:24Z ♥ 5
Only if there was an erase buttonnnnn. Such an interesting concept that was well put together in such a small amount of time.
Anyone can get lost in there trying to view all of the art and with the constant loading of new rooms, it seems like there is no end.
What were you planning to do with this game for the future?
P.S. I had to lol I tried the best I could to get the photo to look the same with your limited palette vlcsnap-2022-04-09-22h49m38s117.png
Drained by Evan Minto 2022-04-09T03:33:17Z ♥ 2
100% relatable experience. The pop ups drove me up the wall since it got in the way of me trying to complete tasks.
- Maybe add in that you can thumbs up the social media 'instagram' knock off in the game. - slow down the transitions between each pop up to allow the player to collect themselves and enjoy the game
RunOutFuel by LeNiggo 2022-04-09T03:22:22Z ♥ 1
Some reason when I try this game out, the colors aren't loaded. I am running on Windows 7 on Chrome and there aren't any textures. All I see is black so I barely know what is going on, until my 'car' flips over.
Wrath of Malik by Omid Ghavami 2022-04-09T03:06:14Z ♥ 0
Very nice. I like the increased difficulty as more targets come to get you. The fact that most of this is generated in-game is pretty awesome.
- Maybe add a gradual bring up of the explosion audio or lower it overall. It caught me off guard once I began to shoot. - Also maybe put a 'sensitive to lights' warning for this game. With the pure black background and radiating colors on the edges, it could be a little much for that audience
Great job
Kiwis Can't Fly by DDRKirbyISQ 2022-04-09T03:00:44Z ♥ 1
This is so fantastic. Playing on everyone's heartstrings with this soft music.
+ The art style is beautiful + Implementing the audio with said art style is breathtaking + The mood is set so wonderfully.
Essentially, I stopped playing it to see where the game was going to take me. How the game essentially loops is so nice and satisfying. I came here not knowing what to expect and I leave wanting to share it with my friends. Fantastic job with this one. We are all little kiwis in one aspect or another <3
Ticking Clock by FlipKING78 2022-04-09T02:49:03Z ♥ 1
Music definitely reminded me of some calm areas of Minecraft. I like the floaty concept you have for the player controller as you collect the clocks. Increasing the time is an added bonus for pressure.
A future thought for this game is maybe having various zones unlock one by one
Great job on this one

I think this is a very interesting take on the theme. I definitely died several times quickly but slowly got the hang of the premise.
Art wise, I like the fact that the Earth turns and isn't static.
Wonderful game
Ayakashi: The Mystery of the Sea by igorfelga 2022-04-09T02:04:29Z ♥ 1
+ I like the choice for art styles using mood boards. + I would of never guessed I would be fighting a tentacle monster when I first checked out this game.
- Maybe as an addition, adopt the mood board style or other ancient Japanese art into the main character's design in some kind of way. - I continue to die after 27 seconds not really knowing why so maybe check to see if one of the tentacles comes up to attack the character from underneath his aiming stoop
Great entry!
Death is Inevitable by pethecat 2022-04-09T01:53:38Z ♥ 0
Great job on this game. I like how the tutorial is quite clear on how to play as well as the controls are very easy to pick up.
+ The animation of having the clocks add to your time works as well + The little character wobbles made me smile - After I collected all of the clocks, I didn't know what to do.
Great entry

Lol this game is so relatable to anyone who plays chess. I like the art you used and the overall experience of this game. Also, big perk, I love you can play it on the mobile.
Maybe implementing a system where you can't kill yourself by placing the king on a square the bishops are already guarding.

Earworm Jam by ursagames 2022-04-08T05:16:28Z ♥ 4
This game is hilarious. Who made up these lyrics lol max distance 1023.4
FYI:
Playing on Windows 7, Chrome browser and it took 5 reloads to get the game to start. It freezes from time to time as you hit the rhythm causing you to lose the rhythm but I will keep trying it to see if it is because I haven't loaded the sound effect before.
In other words, fantastic job making this earworm that will stay with me for days. I mist share this with my team lol It's inevitable~~~
Don't Drink and Dive by very dark lord 2022-04-08T04:41:24Z ♥ 2
That party boat music is addicting! I like the concept you have going for this game. The controls were what made it challenging for me but I've never been good at games that require spin-and-go mechanics so that's on me.
First thing I noticed is maybe on first screen, have an icon to tell you what button to start so it doesn't seem like the game is frozen.
Thanks for sharing this game with us
The VortExperience by Hawkin 2022-04-08T04:33:43Z ♥ 2

I like how you added in a vocal tutorial so that way you can listen while trying to figure stuff out.

Time DashKing by Tryston 2022-04-08T03:04:15Z ♥ 4
Very interesting game. I was confused at first to why the ax wouldn't return to me when I walked up to it after throwing it at the dummies, but I blame throwing it before listening to the next instruction
The ax has a way of being thrown through the wall where you cannot go to retrieve it. I lost mine in the little cauldron when you first start to play
Great job on this one
Lavapocalypse by Florian van Strien 2022-04-08T01:52:15Z ♥ 2
I found that this game was very impressive. I like the premise as well as how you approached the idea of delaying the impending doom of your tower.
Possibly making it so your drones are not capable of running into each other so it doesn't make gathering resources a longer task. When I have more time, I want to try to get better at this game.
Well done :)

I like what you are doing here for this game. I jumped in without reading the instructions and enjoyed fumbling through it to figure it all out.
Possibly once the sparks start flying, lower the volume of the sounds. It kind of peaks a bit Maybe have a mode for color blind people

fireme.club by velvetlobster 2022-04-06T19:14:40Z ♥ 3
At first I was confused on where I could find the game since the "Downloads and Links" area was empty. There is a lot of information to take in on how to play the game but after I attacked a few times and read the other person's stats, it was a bit easier to play the game. A few times I went to find a new loafer only to realize I was stuck in a battle sequence without any of the moves attacking.
Perks: + I like the card variety and their respective moves you can add for your strat. + Keeping the cards to a limited palette made me feel like it could be an actual card game. + Music was delightfully repetitive and I will most likely be doing that dance for the next few days thinking of your game.
Suggestions: - Maybe add another link to your game at the very bottom of your description. - Add a max bet limit warning and message somewhere on the play screen. - Disable advancing the game if you do bid too high
The Somnipathy card is kick ass btw. Thanks for making such an enjoyable game :) It helped me procrastinate what I inevitably have to go take care of.

Kinderkaos by Gravityflip 2022-04-06T17:44:43Z ♥ 2
I can't with this game. It is such a JEM. Being understaffed in any profession is stressful and even worse if little kids are involved. Great idea and concept. Maybe if there was a run button which in turn could run over the kids could be an added feature. Great game <3<3
