The inability to remove elements was annoying but mostly because this was so otherwise polished I was subconsciously holding it to shipped game standards. Well done!

Weighed and TreasuredI really enjoyed this one -the ease of placing room tiles (Having them snap into place, the controls being intuitive, and the really clean tutorial) was a great addition, especially for a jam game. The game loop is also pretty fun, you somehow managed to make the experience of fine tuning level balance enjoyable. The presentation is also really good, the game is super duper readable and the art style is nicely polished. The mechanic of keeping the game "fun" for the player also made immediate sense, the little meter on the top left really helped make that clear.
That said, there's a few things that stick out - like the player being able to pick up potions through walls (My first dungeon had him explore through the hordes to find extra potions, only to find out he could just pick them up on the way to the exit), and the inability to remove skeletons or potions I had already placed down (Not making rooms removable make sense, but not being able to remove objects meant that I ended up with a dungeon balanced by filling the room with skeletons and potions everywhere, which felt very cluttered). Also, sometimes the player would wander off to go fight random skeletons on the other end of the map, but that didn't feel as buggy as the other stuff.
This game is really good overall! Would love to see this expanded into a full, "non-jam" release somehow.

Last Minute Slime SessionAwesome idea!!! I think it's a bit hard to balance the dungeon difficulty but the game is really great :D

Fire HelperCool idea!
I've encounter a bug if you placed block elsewhere, it messes up pathfinding, and you get stuck in game loop.
but other than that really nice :)

Arson TruckVery cool game, needs some polishing and corrections to shine at its maximum potential, but still this is a very great work, good job!

Input To ActionReally impressive work! I really like how you nailed the theme. Unfortunately, I also encountered the bug with platform that was not fitting anywhere in the boss battle phase. I also would like to have ability to change selected mode (enemy, potion or building) because if I select building I can't undo it.
But overall I love the game, good job!

Museum Night WatchGame with great quality.
I found some flaws, you need to give us the ability to remove placed rooms, potions, and enemies because once I place, I am unable to remove the thing I placed. I am supposed to choose what shape of dungeon room from a build menu instead of having it pop up randomly.

Stop That Hero!The visuals and sound for this game are incredible I really liked the art in particular as well as the use of 3d and 2d assets. The room placement is really fun and they snap satisfyingly together. It's also just really nice to look at how the entire dungeon after you finish placing down each room.

Daggers and Time loopsWow! Building the dungeon and watching the pieces snap together felt really satisfying!
The auto-hero was good too, but my favorite part was the building for sure!
There was a snapping bug where once piece didn't want to fit anywhere and I couldn't progress, but I restarted and didn't encounter it again.
Very cool idea!

Theme Park DungeonNice execution to reverse the dungeon building, The 3D aspect is really nice and makes placing these blocks satisfying however on the building part the player is left to his own and random chance.

Tower AttackFun game! Building the level was interesting enough, but to see the player feedback and have to adjust things based on that was a wonderful twist.

Are You With Us?I loved the snappy placement, that worked really well.
Also great that you added some explanation on the goal, that always helps.
It would have been better to implement some sort of algorithm that would supply the 'right' pieces you need to finish your dungeon though. I tried 3 times and wasn't able to complete a path to the finish, that's unfortunate.

GYROVITYThis was really creative. I had a similar idea for our horror sim as well where during gameplay you could change the rooms but we never got to implementing it. I did run into a few issues though.
Just 2 things though. Or maybe I dint progress enough to unlock these features.
- Give the option to cancel placement of any object.
- Give the option to delete a placed object.
I also feel like having the player engagement meter visible during gameplay would help out a lot in know where exactly the player got bored. So you'll know which areas to fix and which to not.
Maybe this is my personal feeling, but I dont think that finishing the game with low health should be criteria here. You could calculate things like, time it takes to clear a particular group of enemies and then how much health was lost during that engagement.
Kudos to making such an interesting game.
