This was such a cool concept! It would be nice to see an updated version with a little more strategy (and a little less randomness) - but this is one of the most unique submissions I've played so far. Fantastic job!

A very challenging management game with great presentation. Really enjoyed this one.

The GrowthGreat game... pretty hard to manage everyone but I really enjoyed it! I guess I'm too soft and didn't send enough people to jail!

Mind GardenAs boring it may seem for someone watching, it is just as fun playing it.
From an outside perspective all you are doing is assigning different stuff to every solider everyday; while you are making meaningful choices, and taking risks, and are trying to dig a tunnel.

Control TraderWow, this is really well done. Love the aesthetic of it, but I do wish there was a way to switch the action on a character once chosen, as I did end up choosing the wrong one a couple of times.

Very atmospheric, I can see this going in a lovecraftian direction if you fully develop it

Spinny PlateHas really good art and is a fun chance-based strategy game that executes the theme of the jam well. Great work!
If you have time I'd love for you to check out my game!

Toggle ArenaReally cool game. I like how polish it looks. It sounds like a nice concept to develop upon ! A bit slow paced maybe for a Jam where people won't spend a lot of time on it but I hope people will take the time.

Out of ReachYour game is really cool and atmospheric, I like the Papers Please style with super crisp art. You should keep working on it! Congrats on successfully submitting a game to the jam and I hope you learned a lot of new things. Please check out my game when you have time :D

Black Hole DefenseLovely little game with lots of scope to grow. The feedback on what I had failed to do could have been clearer. I got repeatedly told off, but I wasn't sure if it was because I hadn't built a tunnel or hadn't punished the men.
Further development suggestions: Add in flavour text, like backgrounds for the soldiers and reasons for them getting drunk/frightened (the first time I played I had two guys with the same surname get drunk together - were they brothers celebrating a birthday or just drinking to get through the pain of the war?). Fix the raindrops, they really looked too much like bugs crawling over the desk.
Hi nicholasojones! Thanks for taking the time to play my game the feed back is appreciated.
I do believe I should have been a little more transparent with the systems and a little clearer as well so players aren't confused why they got a strike.
I terms of flavor text, I plan to add this. You may notice they have a hometown section on their file, but I just didn't have time to include it.
and yes the raindrops! I too think they look kinda janky, that's because they were included 30 mins before the jam deadline after I added the rain background noise. I will improve!
Loved the game! Very atmospheric. "Papers, please!" feel is strong — my game was also partially inspired by it!
