This is such a cool game! The mechanics were very interesting and puzzles good! The gameplay was fun and the art was good and consistent. Really enjoyed this one!
Thank you so much! I liked your game starship scramble a lot too!
This is definitely one of my favorites of the jam! The puzzles were very unique and there were multiple different mechanics to keep things fresh. I loved the small story behind it, the music/sound effects were great, the art was good, and the gameplay felt really responsive. Two words, well done!
Hey! Thank you very much, I’ve tried my best shot at it. I also love your seconds away from death game too!
Really cool game with some creative mechanics and the glitchy effects and transitions were really cool! I enjoyed this one a lot! :D
Thanks haha! I enjoyed showtime a lot too!
Fun game, I will say the flip controlls puzzles weren't as difficult and the block swappers turned into just waiting for 3 seconds for things to flip back. But everythign else was great.
Shoutout to Leb for doing all the hard work kek.
Yeah.. a handful of people have said that the control-flip mechanic wasn’t a really good one. Rootin’ Tootin’ n Shootin’ is also a fire game!
Fun game, control inversion made the game more challenging, enjoyed it a lot, great job!
Thank you! I enjoyed playing your top down shooter as well!
I loved the little twist before the beginning of the game and the intro to the game itself. Felt like a little narrative. The game itself felt quite polished. Well done!
Thank you! I also love your platformer-puzzle game as well!
Great game! It took me a while to figure out how it worked, but otherwise, everything was awesome, not the mention I LOVED the little glitch effects, it was so nice. Great work :)
Thanks! I liked your shooter as well!
Amazing work! This is really impressive for the limited time we had, its cohesive, charming, adheres to the theme in a fun and creative way, and is surprisingly polished. The moment at the beginning when the screen/music are glitching out and you suddenly fall through the floor was awesome. I live for the moments in indie games where what you expect to happen is subverted.
I agree that probably the least inspired design choice was the controls-inversion. That could have been good for a single level, but ultimately its less of a "puzzle" and more of an inconvenience. Still, I think this game has high chances to be in the top selection for the execution of all categories.
Thank you! The control-inversion was a last-minute addition, so I don’t doubt that it was more of an inconvenience than a good mechanic. I wanted to make a better segue to the “glitch world”, but with the limited time I just slapped in a glitch. I also love your top down shooter!
Wow, this is great! Super polished and generally well executed. I like that you experimented with a variety of mechanics and then played them off one another.
I think there's a tension between the more puzzle-y side of the game and the dexterity platforming side which you did a good job balancing. The one mechanic that maybe leaned too far in the dexterity direction is the controls reversal. That mechanic felt more annoying than interesting to me. But maybe that's just because I have no dexterity, but like puzzles :)
Ignoring that one nitpick, your game was really fun! Great job overall!
Yeah haha the control reversal mechanic was added last minute as “just another mechanic”. I’ll try making more interesting mechanics soon. I also love your hexagon-based machine game as well!
Awesome art, great gameplay puzzles, controller feels good.
The visual effects and music are great too all making the whole experience and story telling come together in a great way well done.
Thank you! I love your little game as well! The balancing is really well done.
really cool, theme implementation was handled nicely, art is good, and the gameplay is smooth and feels nice, sound effects would be cool and some minor things to help the feel like squash and stretch would be nice, but most nick picks.
Thanks! I fully agree that sound effects and squash-and-stretch would enhance the game a tiny bit, and am planning on adding those at some point. Your dating sim was also really good!
I like this game a lot. Very polished and well working in multiple ways and difficulty was perfect for a jam game.
One small critique is that the sound clip for reaching the door is a bit vague/soft and doesn't evoke a positive "win" feeling in itself.
Thanks! Yeah there isn’t a dedicated door sound because i was running low on time, i just reused the glitch sound effect. I’ll take this into consideration when i remake it!
it was really unexpected. very interesting puzzle, the mechanics are really clever.
Thank you very much! Your game also had really nice mechanics and good puzzle elements too.
It was so clever puzzle! Polished and fun. I finished it and wanted more :)
Thank you! I’m planning on making the game longer sometime in the future.
A really fun and surprising game that fits well with the theme, well done!
Thanks! Your game was also really fun and challenging!
Puzzles were challenging and fun enough, mechanics well executed. Very creative game!
Thank you very much! Your 2D shooter was also very unique!
No because this was the most engaging puzzle game in the jam so far. I'm actually at a lost for words because the mechanics are just too good. The puzzles make you think. And I lost it when I saw there were 2 mechanics in one level. I hope, wish and order you to make this a full game. Too good, LEB, too good.
Why thank you so much! I’m actually thinking of revamping this one fully. Your platformer game is also really interesting!
Thank you! I'd love to see it fully revamped and for it to make more mechanics and more levels!!
Its fun! Great job on the theme, and the art is nice too! I would be nice to have a few sound effects prehaps
Thank you! I was so focused on the puzzle elements I barely had any time for sound effects. When the jam is over I think I’ll do a makeover of this game.
Greate game! Intresting concept)
Thank you very much! Your game was also really well done!
This was nice! It has a rather simple yet fun concept and appealing visuals! Well Done!
Thank you! Your mining game is also really cool!
Thanks!
