Absolutely love the art style. The music was a nice touch as were the *ahem* sounds when restoring your energy at the church. Good work :D

Absolutely love the art style. The music was a nice touch as were the *ahem* sounds when restoring your energy at the church. Good work :D
Snake meets Resogun! It was cool to be able to see where obstacles and batteries were by looking at the back of the cylinder. I dug the art style and the overall concept. Being able to destroy bats while invincible was a nice touch. I had maybe a bit too much fun hunting them down..
Got to loop 12, shot 54.
Cool concept. I dug how activating the start button essentially functioned as a simple tutorial for the game.
I was slightly confused the first few loops, as the screen shake that happens made me think I might have died somehow. Once I saw new enemy patterns after the 3rd or 4th loop I realized it was progressing. A more prominent visual display of your loop count increasing would probably solve that issue.
The slowdown effect was pretty nice and reminded me a bit of Superhot.
Enemy design was cool. I also dug seeing the level get darker and the red glows more prominent as I made it through each loop. Overall it was a solid experience- nice job!
Those foolish bears had no idea who they were messing with. Fun game, enjoyed the over the top plot and the design of the main character. The destructible environment was also a nice touch. The controls felt a little sticky but that hardly outweighs the awesomeness that is Craig Killbane.
Really interesting game. The numbers move quite fast- I was usually dead before I realized what was happening. Had to play it a few times to understand how to balance everything out.
Interesting idea- love the art style of the main character! Controls were a bit tough but I guess that's to be expected when driving a Model T. I was actually much better at driving backwards than forwards!
Amazing. One of my favorites so far! Loved the art and the core mechanic. It took a few deaths before I realized I was supposed to quickly turn the lights on and off, but after that it was 'smooth' sailing.. well as smooth as it can be when you have creepy horrors slinking around every room.
Fun concept! The art and sound were really well done. Some of the platforming was slightly frustrating, but overall the game was fun to play. Throwing your head at enemies is definitely a unique take on the theme!
RAMBO!
I really enjoyed this! Nice and simple game with a fun core mechanic. Good work!
Fun game. It was cool to work your way around the map while being careful about how often you place recharging stations.
Fun game with nice art and solid music- really enjoyed the puzzle elements behind figuring out who to grab first
Interesting game that I'm absolutely terrible at. Ran out of energy with 15 light years to go :( The dice rolls were a nice touch, and the core gameplay was a lot of fun once I got the hang of it. There's definitely some strategy behind the best ways to deal with each crisis.
Fun game with solid art, a great soundtrack, and a nice splash of humor
I really liked some of the subtle animations you implemented, such as the heart beating and the feathers falling off Icarus. Some of the obstacles felt impossible to avoid but overall it was an entertaining experience!
Really solid game. I do agree with @pixelgriffin, the midgame was a lot of driving around aimlessly until I ran out of energy or got shot by an enemy. Overall though it's really well done. The concept is great, as are the graphics, sounds, and music. Good work!
Life support is overrated, though my crew might think otherwise. Took me two tries to get to the space station. Controls were tough but I never expected piloting a space ship to be easy! Fun concept overall. Nice simple graphics. Good work!
I might be Jon Snow.. I know nothing about these types of games. Fun concept although I was embarrassingly bad at it
Nice to see HaxeFlixel still being used! Really liked the concept. Playing as a new probe each time and having to recollect modules allows for some interesting design. The power down option seemed slightly buggy though, as my probes would end up in places I didn't put them. That aside, I think there's definitely potential to expand on this concept post-jam. There's a lot of cool things you could do with disposable probes!
The No Man Sky of Wines! (And in a good way). Really novel concept. It was surprising and awesome when (*spoilers?*) I picked up that the other wines I saw were made by other players. The fact that each play through spawns different planets adds to that- each player has the potential for very different combinations to create. Good work!
Amazing art and solid music to back up the tone of the game. A very interesting take on the theme. It was slightly difficult to think of what to write. Having contextual images or more descriptive intro text to better describe the scene might make it easier to come up with what actions the game would accept. Overall a great game for being made in 48 hours. I'd love to see this expanded on post-jam.
Interesting idea. Different humans giving different amounts of energy was a nice touch. It gave me a reason to hunt around the map, looking for the perfect people to bring aboard my ship
Made it through the levels. Really liked the pixel art, especially for the enemies and the particle effects.
Interesting little puzzle game! I played this yesterday with a friend and we couldn't figure out how to beat it- when I saw @kevinworkman's comment about solving it, I had to go back and give it another shot. Successfully completed it after a few tries! Overall a pretty solid experience. Simple clean graphics, fun narrative, and fitting sfx & music. Good stuff!
*** *a*. * *a* ******* ** **a* ** **** *****!
Apparently I don't know my maths. Great concept though. The narrator was great.
So. Satisfying.
Great concept & fun to play. I agree with funselektor though, wish the upgrades were bound to the keyboard keys.
Lot of fun and nicely polished. Claimed the Sword of Badassery on my first try.
Hey, for your second game ever this is really great! Keep it up!
Pretty cool concept. The Director's Cut was absolutely brilliant.
Couldn't find the square at 1920x1080- made my browser window smaller and then it showed up. Fun game and an interesting concept.
Interesting game. Mortar units are totally OP!
Great game! Loved the roguelike gameplay mixed in with having to make time-sensitive decisions. Scored 2970 on my 2nd try.
Successfully collected all the love fuel! Fun game- and the music played at the end is pretty catchy.
Cool game. I got stuck in some walls during the reverse gravity puzzles though. Other than that it was fun to play.
Definitely a 5 in mood ;) Funny concept. Controls took a few tries to figure out.
Super cool gameplay. Would have been nice to modify object placement while the painter is running instead of having to stop/start all the time to test, the fast forward button helped but it took me a few levels before I saw it.
(Spoil free) Still can't figure out the correlation between my actions and one of the steps. Overall a pretty interesting game. Good art, fitting sound, and a cool concept.
Beat it after many many deaths. The different rule variations were cool and kept the game interesting. The end screen was also a nice treat. Good work.
Very cool concept. Was fun to play once I got the hang of the controls. It'd be awesome to see a multiplayer version in the future.
Loved how the magnify glass effect worked. Really interesting idea.

Really tight platforming and so much polish for a PICO-8 game! Super impressive!
Lamps by qkjosh 2020-04-27T01:43:02Z ♥ 2
Amazing atmosphere. I went from a good boy to scared boy real quick once I entered the basement!
Finterior Decorator by illuminegames 2020-04-27T01:34:00Z ♥ 2
Was a very zen and relaxing experience. Was fun to just chill out for a few minutes and grow my aquarium. Tons of different little customization options and the art and sound were super well done. Great work!
Cthulhu: The Cult Must Not Die by LaserPanzerWal 2020-04-25T18:01:38Z ♥ 3
Enjoyed the concept, it's a fun idea to have to defend the cultists. Loved the art and music but definitely struggled with controls for combat. With a bit of clean up this could really be a top tier jam game!
Me and My BEAST by Electric Blue 2020-04-24T19:01:00Z ♥ 0
Fun concept! I really liked the graphics- the beast looks great in pixel art form. I tried my best to keep those darn bandits away from it but ultimately I was overwhelmed :( Good work overall!
Save The Health Service! by TomRafferty 2020-04-24T18:56:44Z ♥ 1
Stay inside people! I tried my best, I really did. But I couldn't keep up in the end :(
Overall the game was pretty fun. It's definitely on theme and I enjoyed the graphics. The sound queues were a nice way to indicate when there was a new spawn I needed to care about. Good work!
Dumb Ways to Doctor by Specturnal 2020-04-24T18:52:19Z ♥ 1
Cool yeah so I definitely shouldn't be a doctor with the number of patients I killed at first!
The concept is great, it took me a second to figure out where all the initial tools were but once I had a mental map of them it became a lot more fun! The treatments were also pretty funny. Imagining super gluing an artificial limb to a patient and calling it a day is great.
My Friend Phil by Conroy 2020-04-24T18:39:36Z ♥ 1
Really love the concept! The art is well done and the SFX match the mood of the game. Took me a second to grasp the controls but they weren't too bad once I got the hang of it!
Dart Attack by EternalXP 2020-04-24T18:35:41Z ♥ 1
Fun game! Love the strategy involved in how you position yourself and your heart. Graphics are well done and feel polished. Good work!
Véia Defense: Aliens Attack by Arthur Silva 2020-04-24T17:45:38Z ♥ 3
Love the art style! Love the music! Super polished and really well done. This feels like a game that I would play on cartoon network :)
MyTube by backurio 2020-04-24T17:39:35Z ♥ 1
You did it. You convinced me. I now have the training I need. Tomorrow I quit my job and become a full time Youtuber. Thanks so much for giving me this confidence!
But seriously, really well done. Extremely polished game!
Party Animal by puntocom 2020-04-24T17:33:41Z ♥ 2
Being a host is hard work! All I want is good vibes and these fools keep fighting! Fun concept overall! The characters are super cute and the graphics are well done. It's a great take on the theme.

Where did it go? I want to play it!
Seeking Power by gustavo.christino 2020-04-24T17:26:11Z ♥ 1
The game reminds me a lot of 'I Wanna Be The Guy', challenging platforming but really satisfying once you master the patterns!
droidathon by acgaudette 2020-04-24T17:20:28Z ♥ 1
This is my aesthetic! I love the art style you've got going on here. Getting a hit on the enemy feels so satisfying with the screen flashes!
The Adventures of Eggbert by BattleCat 2020-04-24T17:14:42Z ♥ 1
Great game! The concept works really well with the theme. Really love the graphics (including the dancing flowers). The title screeen is super reminiscent of old NES games. Altogether it feels like a pretty complete package!
Blob by KevTukk 2020-04-24T17:09:19Z ♥ 0
Love that you don't take damage but your blob does. That design decision works really well with the theme of the jam!
Lily vs. the Swarm by Coda Highland 2020-04-24T16:29:01Z ♥ 1
Great concept and really loved the hand drawn graphics and the animation for the butterfly!
Final Flower: Petals of a Lost Age by Scott Steffes 2020-04-24T16:20:41Z ♥ 1
Wow I really enjoyed this. It definitely has a speed run type feel and the leaderboards were a great addition to emphasize that. I replayed a bunch of early levels to try and optimize my times. I could definitely see this becoming a full game down the road. Great work!
Have Mercy by Stefan Jovanovic 2020-04-24T16:10:07Z ♥ 2
Super interesting concept once I picked up on what was going on- I managed to miss how immobilizing worked in your description on my first play! I love the idea of the different breakpoints and pairing those with the QTE input.
Also a bit out of left field but I could actually see this as a great way to teach match to kids!
Shooty Moony by flyingbear 2020-04-23T19:20:08Z ♥ 1
Super fun concept. It went from feeling like I was playing a standard arcade game to the most intense game of pool ever. Bouncing enemies off each other is extremely satisfying.. though I definitely had my planet die more than once waiting to line up the perfect shot of coins and enemies.
The Power of The Five Books by Marcelo Zoletti 2020-04-22T05:19:37Z ♥ 1
Really liked the character art- the skeletons gave me a real Lego vibe! The different spells were fun to use, especially the jump boots. Zooming through the air feels really satisfying!
Keep Hope Alive by keybol 2020-04-22T03:57:31Z ♥ 2
Super interesting take on platforming. Music and SFX fit really well with the games aesthetic. It was satisfying to chain everyone together and get them home all at once! Good job!
Mad Sorcerer's Garden by AsgardHeavy 2020-04-22T03:42:50Z ♥ 0
Not bad! The art was totally readable and that's good enough for me. I liked the concept and think you did a pretty good job for your first jam! Time is the ultimate enemy :( It slips away so fast.. especially for the compo!
Unbroken Shell by Garett Cooper 2020-04-22T02:04:43Z ♥ 1
I did it! I delivered the egg! But at what cost!? :(
Loved the ending, enjoyed the overall atmosphere of the world. The game was definitely challenging. The best tip I can give to others is wait until you've reached the apex of your jump and then move forward. Trying to move in the air too early is a recipe for disaster in the later parts of the game!
Don't Kill Death (Or Die Trying) by MadeByChaz 2020-04-21T18:53:20Z ♥ 1
Extremely polished and fun! Love the voice acting. The art is amazing and full of small details. Great work!
Focus, kid! by Necromic 2020-04-21T18:16:23Z ♥ 2
You can pet the dog. 5/5. Game of the Year.
The aesthetic is super well done. Feels like a nice short polished game. Good work!
The Seeker by GeorgeBroussard 2020-04-21T17:25:15Z ♥ 2
Love the concept. Pixel art is great and makes all game elements very readable. SFX whenever your flame is hit by rain is a nice touch. Tutorial was straightforward and easy to understand. Game elements were simple but created a nice challenge when laid out in the level. Super enjoyable :D
Across the Lake by stephan steinbach 2020-04-21T03:25:57Z ♥ 1
Love the zen atmosphere. Everything works so well together to make a really nice final product. Great example of how a low resolution game can feel extremely polished!
Flight of Chernobog by WIDOSOFT 2020-04-21T03:14:00Z ♥ 1
The art is really well done! The gameplay is fun, all the different wave patterns provided nice variety in the challenge. Just wish I could have seen the moon!
Firekeeper by thomas-olsson 2020-04-21T02:41:18Z ♥ 3
Beautiful game! Love the character art and all the animations and effects you have. The sound effects and music really match the mood (love the enemy growls). Gameplay is entertaining- who doesn't like lighting things on fire? Great work!
King's Table by PetTurtle 2020-04-20T04:30:01Z ♥ 1
Always love to see a new way to use chess pieces. Pairing them with tower defense is super interesting. Love the graphics & the gameplay. Nice work.
Bubby by dnp 2020-04-20T04:13:58Z ♥ 1
Bubby is amazing. He smiles even when walking off a ledge into a pit of spikes below. The design was great for the levels you put together. It was nice to see some variety in the different solutions!
