Very nicely polished game! The game looks beautiful and is really clean. Idea is cool too and really creative, definitely never thought of a reverse roguelike being that you *lose* items haha

The Good OverlordThe level of polish is amazing! The controls are so smooth, the gamefeel is really great. I'm still a bit confuse on how we die and the repair of the items, but I think it's a super creative idea. I had a lot of fun, congrats on your great work!

I Beleaf in You (post-jam)Super fun game, I think the design is smart since you have to choose perks that synergize best with what you have remaining. Sometimes it was tough to see exactly everything happening because of the various items, bullets, enemies, and particle effects on the screen at the same time. I also found that the very dense enemy spawns coupled with a fairly short immunity timer made for some quite unforgiving moments where a large portion of my health bar would be drained instantly. I also wish there were some more mobility perks included to make getting out of tight spaces easier. However, I think that these are small balancing issues to address with the gameplay. The audio and sound effects are great, and I really love the pixel art as well, you definitely nailed the presentation! Overall, nice work!

SnapshotFantastic! It's engaging, quick to pick up, and oozing with style. The UI would occasionally obscure some enemies, but other than that, this was a great, polished experience with a well-executed core concept. Love the music too!

Space Bandit: Asteroids Strike Backstellar animation, art and music/sfx! I found the use of the theme pretty interesting, kind of feels like a challenge mode in a regular rougelike?

Gromits TrainSadly, exporting to web is unreliable and we weren't really desperate for ratings. For example particles stop working. And the shader effects are making the game unplayable with all sorts of weird graphical glitches. We wanted everyone to experience the game in its best condition which is sadly not able to be ran on the web :(
Thanks for playing the game and giving a good suggestion!
You managed to make a cool game! The graphics are very beautiful
and the gameplay is funny!

ComputerAdventuresi won!! :D
this is a tense game! i was impressed how despite being a reversal, it almost has the same feeling of progression as a roguelike! at first you're just losing powers because there aren't enough enemies to give you more gems, but as you get towards the end you have enough gems to fix two (or even three) things and build your power back up. i like the piercing + bouncy combo a lot. especially with the silly bullets, hehe
sound and art are both solid, and everything worked well for the few times i played. great job with this!

Snapped!Probably the most polished and satisfying game I've tried in this jam. The art style is charming and gameplay is filled with juicy particles. No idea how it's created, but the procedural(?) background is super cool.
While I love the execution, I'm a bit skeptical about the idea where you essentially level down. What's pushing you to try again if its reward is less satisfaction? I can totally see this as a 'challenge mode' of sorts though.
Anyways, great job on the game. Your team's talent and experience is definitely showing!

Time HeistYeah, the leveling down is sure very questionable and that's usually why jam games like this stay silly little prototypes. Glad you had fun!
Btw, the background is made using a shader. I put a box that covers the whole screen and then mixes between a couple of colors based on the distance from the hole and the angle from the hole. This is all done in godot's shading programming language!
This game is very polished and the little things add up like the ui disappearing when you get near it or the enemies telegraphing where they are about to spawn. Great game with great art and music!

Pests in ControlIt's about time I've found an extremely polished game that I wanted to replay again and again.
The biggest complaint I have is sometimes the game is extremely hard to parse, which isn't something the game should do if it plans to throw swarms of enemies and bullets at you. I like hordes of enemies, it keeps things exciting, but everything fights for your attention here and there will be times where you will mistake an enemy bullet for your own and take damage.

Moving GoalpostThis was super fun, different runs were varied due to the several item combinations, and the polish, art, and sounds were amazing!
Unfortunately the game kept freezing seemingly at random (on the Linux build, idk if that matters) so I couldn't play much, but the bit I did was really great!

Melodic PlatformingSuch great polish, amazing visuals super super high quality work!

Not a Cozy City BuilderWow, this game is so polished! Definitely the most polished entry I've seen yet, I have some feedback though, I think the sound effects could be a touch louder, as it's a little drowned out by the music, although that's a tiny factor, and I think it's a little hard to understand what it meant by "You lost this item..." I think you should add a arrow or some sort of animation in the bottom of the screen indicating you lost the item. Oh and the art is so amazing! I especially love the shader in the background, that's a really nice touch. Really great entry!

SlimesYep, when you have music and SFX you need to have volume sliders. Seeing how many people criticised that, we sill surely do that as soon as possible next time. And yeah I can see the ui being pretty confusing, there definitely needs to be some more clarity. I personally wanted to add a text saying "active" or "not active" when you hover over an item but i forgot. Tysm for checking out and giving good feedback, much much appreciated!
This might be one of my favorite entries I've tried! The gameplay is very engaging and the item system is quite unique and allows for some creative building, would Love to see this built upon!
