Throughout this jam I've played a bunch of scale/ measurement related games, but this is definitely the most enjoyable. Adore the art and little details for the scarabs, and the physics are impressive and cohesive with the gameplay. Overall amazing game!

I really enjoyed it! The gameplay was simple but fun, it fit the theme very well. I also really love all the polish you put into it: the art was excellent and very cohesive. I also really enjoyed the mini VN sequence at the start, it got a good chuckle.

Bug Market For BugsThe game is simple, It's a good idea for a mobile game/ having a better game loop will definitely help. story is good enough. and more sfx maybe. 69th rating, NICE

OBLITERATION POINTVery cool! The gameplay is chaotic and fun, and the theming is really interesting. I do think that once you start getting a lot of things on the scales, it becomes pretty simple to keep 'em balanced, so maybe upping the pace of the scarabs doing things as the game progresses would be a good idea.

FactoRHYTHMThis is really cool! I love the art and general vibe you went with. Dialogue is really fun too! Well executed! I love the little added description when you win and they are pleased. I want to play through again and find out what they say if I fail. ;) Really nice game.
Feel free to give my game a try, Tinker Escape.
Cheers. :)
