Really cool take on the "playing two games simultaneously" theme. Fun and challenging! Would be really cool to see more arcade cabinets swap in and out over the levels. Maybe ones similar to Pac-Man or Dig Dug

Awesome game! You really captured that retro vibe perfectly and put a nice twist on the gameplay and theme. Love the warp portal mechanic. Nice work!

Would love it if you checked out our game as well! :D

This is fun but ultimately it's just too much to keep track of at once for me. Loved the theming and it definitely fit the theme of the jam though!

I seen a lot of "two games at the same time" games in this jam but this is by far my favourite so far. Really polished and good fun!

I loved the idea of the warp and being able to cross over into the different games.

This is so creative, and it looks great! I think this game should have gotten more attention. It is too late to make changes now, but here are some decisions I've seen other's make that might help you with future games in this genre:

The art and animations are great, you're clearly a good artist. Consider creating a couple more animations so the character feels more immersive. For example, when the character jumps. it would be cool to see their arms swing too. Maybe the jet can glow when it shoots?
The main thumbnail image for your page looks cool, but there is a lot going on, and maybe that's why people aren't clicking it and viewing your page. Consider just zooming in on the character that is standing on the space ship. I'm no expert on this so take this point with a grain of salt (I just learned about the importance of thumbnails during this jam).
The levels are fun, but also a bit long. It might be important for a player to complete a level so they can then choose to leave feedback, otherwise they can get tired and might just leave the page even though they had fun at first.

Anyway, I really like this game. It is also impressive that you pretty much made the art work for 2 games in just 1 jam.

Good luck!
