Nice design! I like the little risk/reward you get from waiting before freezing to aim. The chain reaction is a nice reward for correctly planning out your route as well.

Well done on the presentation. Art and sound match perfectly. 

My top score was 37! Fun game, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for taking the time to check out Knallkrebs! 37 is impressive. I liked Dark World a lot, too!

Submitted

Everything was very consistent "polish"-wise, from the visual to the sound design. well done! Good luck with the jam!

Developer

Thanks so much for your feedback and for playing! I'll check out Astro Link first time in the morning, it's before the deadline :)

Submitted

Have fun with it!

Amazing game! It is very polished and the art is really good! Great job!

Developer

Thanks for checking it out, I liked Mediocre Wizard, too!

Submitted

Cool game ! Very polished !

The visuals are really neat ! The gameplay is quite easy to grasp & match the theme nicely.

Not much more to say, everything is already pretty well rounded & polished. Great job ! :)

Glad to hear you've enjoyed it! Looks like you've killed the game jam with Connect All The Bots already, but I'll make sure to check it out.

Another fellow arcade-style game! Usually, I'd have something a bit more constructive to say but I'd say you really got this polished out before you published. Kudos and congrats!

Developer

Thanks a lot for your kind words and thank you for playing, fellow arcade game submitter!

Submitted

The tutorial explained very well what to do so I got the hang on the mechanics pretty fast. That was fun to play! :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed my submission.

Very lovely artstyle! Gameplay wise, maybe instead of completely stopping the bombs when you're in aim mode, it would have been better to just decrease their speed so player would actually need to react to them with more urgency, could be more engaging as fruits by themselves don't seem to provide that much of a challenge even though they look nice and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Art and music however complement each other very well and game functions how its supposed to, so good work!

Developer

Thanks for your in depth feedback and for playing! There is room for improvement how the fruit drops are handled, I totally agree. Nothing that can't be expanded post jam!

Very well crafted! The tutorial was done in an aesthetic way as well.

Only thing I would advice is personal preference, which is to have stuff happening in the background so it doesn't feel like a static environment, maybe birds flying past, making it feel more alive.

Developer

Thank you for taking the time and leaving feedback! I totally agree, the background is a bit static, it could really use some birds, moving waves... I just didn't get around doing it in time. Maybe for a post jam update :)

Submitted

Dude this game rocks. I can see this being one of the winners for sure. I found no bugs, seemed polished, the art is awesome, I love the exploding effects! I liked the music and sound effects, the concept is really unique and cool, fits the theme perfectly, and I like the "special" move and it doesn't take that much to fill it up. The game design is amazing.

S+ game

Developer

Wow thank you for your kind words! So glad you've enjoyed it. Well, I've seen other hot contenders for winning, but fingers crossed...

Played on stream, even though I previously played it

Developer

Thanks for checking out Knallkrebs and for sharing your video. It was very entertaining :)

Submitted(+1)

Played on stream, the mechanic is super fun and I would play this as a mobile game 👍

Developer

Checked out your stream, it was super fun. Thanks for playing and your suggestion of a mobile port!

Submitted

Really nice game! the art and the music its awesome and very fun to play. Good job!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to leave feedback, glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted

This game is so cool! Great job! The art and music are excellent, the game is simple to understand and fun, it's fantastic! I can totally see this being a mobile game, especially if there were added modes and stuff, like free play. 


Excellent work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for checking it out! I was thinking about mobile and I might realize it in the future, currently I have too many projects going on (you probably know the feeling). Really enjoyed Slime Combine by the way.

Submitted(+1)

Simple and quite cool to play ! I wish there were other levels to prolong the fun ^^

My best score : 54 !

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! I wish there were more levels, too, but such are the ways of the game jam :) I might add a wave based mode, where players have to clear waves after the jam, but it's not decided yet.

 54 is very impressive, thanks for sharing! Mine is 63. I'll check out O Key Cupid later today.

Submitted

cute pixel art, with creative game mechanic. a joyful minigame

Developer

Thank you for your kind words and for checking out Knallkrebs! Time to play some Ninja Star now :)

Submitted

Well presented, clean pixel design. Music and SFX fitting. Something not quite right about player choosing when to freeze frames but can't quite put my finger on it. Video commentary here:

Developer

Thanks for playing and putting in the effort of a making a video! The mechanic of the player pausing is to reward good timing. If the player times it right and the Herman the Crab is in the right position, the player can potentially connect more bombs for a higher score. However, as the comments pointed out, a slow mo mode or wave based spawns would have been a better choice. Well, the ways of the game jam. Thanks for playing and submitting Technocow Roundup!

Good job. Love the pixel art and music. Well presented too.

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! Downloading 4 Leaf Connecion at the moment.

Submitted

Simple and very fun with stellar presentation. Well done!

Developer

Thank you for leaving feedback and for your kind words! Let's go Snap Pals!

Submitted

Great game! it have a classic arcade feel, fun game with a lot of charm. It can be a fun phone game. 

Developer

Thanks for trying out Knallkrebs, glad to hear you had fun! Yeah, it might work as a phone game, I thought so myself, too :)
