Truly magic! Very sweet game with cute graphics and lovely gameplay. The music is so good, I loved the music for the second level! Then the final act of the game, WOW. Great work on the glitch fakeout, the reveal, that was so well done I had goosebumps the entire time. Love the interpretations on the mascots and the lore, and the interface on that final part is perfect, feels old school and you're really digging into something top secret. Brilliant all around!

Well done, charming, and meta in all the good ways. Both genres definitely scream “modern nostalgic millennial sensibilities” to me, personally.

Project G.R.A.B.Disc 1 was a delightful and fun platformer and I really liked the twist at the end leading to Disc 2. Very impressive!

When There's Smoke But No FireThis is one of my favorites! You lured me in. I was totally down for a cozy grandpa helping platformer but i did not expect that twist! CHILLS!!!

Gears of StrawThis really goes above and beyond. It's a charming 3D platformer on its own (though a bit buggy; I had to restart the first level because a fry container wasn't spawning, which happened after checking the creepy "glitch tree" a few times), but the second part really elevates it and is expertly implemented. Just a fantastic idea all around with both funny and genuinely unsettling moments.

The Curious Case of the Smoke BoxLoved both parts of this and how well they fit together. The grandpa scenes were laugh out loud funny and really fit the concept of selling the game. The music was great - really period-appropriate - and so was the voice acting.

Small Friesa really really cool game and overall idea. the overall plot is good and well implemented. but even without that it would be a cool fun 3d platformer with interesting levels

The Smoke Box: Big Birthday QuestThis is a really cool and creative submission that perfectly hearkens back to N64 platformers. Anyone who didn't catch Kyle streaming it should absolutely watch that or try the game out for themself, it's really ambitious and surprising. Great job team, games like this make the Robot Part game jam exciting and fresh every year.
Awesome N64 aesthetic, looks legit. The idea of separating it onto two discs (cartridges?) was really cool. I liked the character redesigns and lore.

Danger, Flavor, Bizarre Summer!This probably going to be the most unique game of the jam, I loved the N64 vibes but struggled a bit with the controls, mostly with the skateboarding momentum and especially in the bossfight, though I eventually got through it and had a really good time.
-Spoilers-
Other than that I feel like maybe the players shouldn't be able to walk through the white walls at the end of disk 1, at first I thought that was intentional and kept falling for a few minutes waiting for something to happen lol.
