whoa man that was dark! I really like the criticism of the system, the Bible citations not so much. The puzzles are a bit basic, but I guess that's not what's important here 🙂 overall good idea and good take on the out of control theme! Good job man!

I love your entry this year (I think I played what you made last year too)! Not a lot of jam entrants can say their game told a story like yours. The storytelling was good, mechanics worked as they should, art was minimal and good. I have no criticism to give, I really like it :)

JumBean's Great EscapeVery cool! The gameplay was there mostly to progress the story and let us experience the toil of the farmer. Stepping into his boots helped me identify with him more, and made his arc of battling against forces he couldn't control feel more impactful to me. It was a very original interpretation of the theme, with a simple but well executed presentation. Well done!

Space Hair Day (GMTK Game Jam 2020)That got surprisingly creepy, well done, in such a short game! Reassigned, huh? D: Poor Ed...
I managed to get stuck in the lake in "Quadrants", but minimizing and maximizing the window let me move out of it again. Seems sometimes a diagonal movement gets you where you shouldn't go!

The things we do for LoveReally cool idea and i loved the graphics! tho i felt there was a bit more text than necessary, maybe make them skippable? Neat game overall :) I'd also love it if you try out my game and give me feedback

Weapon RouletteLike the graphics and it was satisfying to see the water run through the tiles!
It was a bit easy though, since you can hold both X and C and walk around to solve all areas.

Magic BeansInteresting puzzle game, did not feel overly out of control, but enjoyed the concept and the retro graphics.
