Nice game! I'd guess you couldn't decide on a single theme so you decided to do all of them xD. Simple game, nice polish, and cool idea!

Great job!

Very meta, and a pretty accurate prediction of what people would come up with for this jam :D

Went with the fishy game, just because it was actually the most fun gameplay-wise. The art on the shopkeeper one was really cool, though. No idea how to reach that secret game, but I also somehow don’t get that golden sword anymore?

I was a little disappointed there was no twist in the end, but otherwise, very good job!

Thanks. Also, once you collect the golden sword, it shows up in the shop game. It allows you to afford healing items.

Interesting concept and hilarious as well! The visual is absolutely stunning!

This is really creative and funny. I loved the art, especially for the merchant game, but that was the game I liked the least cause it was a little less fun. The other games were both fun and funny as well. This was a pretty trippy experience, too.

So meta, and a 3-for-1 submission to boot! I like the archetypical game ideas and variety of art.

Haha, you predicted all the recurrent concepts of the game jam.

holy, nice take on the theme and great work creating 3 different games mate!

loved it!

This is cool! I really like how there's an overarching narrative and the games don't just exist in their own bubble. I struggled more than I would like to admit with the tower defense game lol

Great job overall!

Great job implementing basically 3 games in one for a short jam! My favorite was tower defense but I also liked the fish one. Great entry overall, and I would love it if you checked out my game :P

The Second game's icon gives this vibe:

 "YOU DARE MOCK ME MORTAL!?"

Fantastic game (or maybe I should say games since this one manages to deliver three unique projects)! I like to think that you couldn't decide which idea was the best concept for this game jam so you decided to go with all three of them and I am not complaining. All of them have a great interpretation of the theme so it is a shame they are so simple and not expanded further. Still, loved these incredibly creative mini-games, Well Done!

Thanks, I am glad you liked it. There is a bit more content with an easter egg. I have added the start of it to the description.

Cool game! Very interesting idea of reversing roles inside reverse-roled simulator :D I personally enjoyed tower attack game with its overpowered golden skeletons. Chose it as the best game tho

Submitted(+3)

Great stuff. I liked the idea for the shopkeeper one the most. 
I think if the fishing one reeled the people into the sea instead of just making them explode I would have liked that one a bit more.

Really creative meta theme interpretation

Submitted(+3)

This is great! That shopkeeper game has some really cool ideas, would love to see an extended version of it

Developer

That game is the most tempting to work on after the jam too! There is a bit more content to that game with an Easter Egg. I threw details about it in the description.

Submitted(+3)

Took us all 48 hours to make 1 game, you managed to make 3!

Submitted(+3)

Awesome games, my personal favorite was Tower Defense. I really liked that each "minigame" fit the theme, so nice work on making three different games that fit the theme within the game jam, excluding the game jam voting simulator. Super creative, great work!

Submitted(+3)

The idea is cool, and the art is cute and well done. Couldn't complete it due to the fishermen not appearing onto the screen fast enough but I liked this.

Developer

Thanks, sorry about the fishermen. You can travel around the raft, but in theory; one of them can hang around the very middle for a while.

Wow! So meta! And what an original idea, super fun to play. My personal favorite game was 'We're all Shopkeeps now'.
