Love the hand-drawn art style and the mooing cow is just so cute! The levels were a fun challenge though it would have been cool to see different themes between the worlds. LEVEL EDITOR FTW!!! I only made one level but I love level editors in games. I will say I seemed to have issues copying my level code to be able to paste it outside of the game. I was playing the web version if that makes a difference? This game was a fun distraction and I could see myself spending a lot of time crafting my own levels. A really fun and charming game, well done!

Hey BlueEagle!

This game was an absolute blast to stream!

It took me a moment to adjust to everything that was happening on screen but once I got it I really got into a rhythm with this game. I love the variety of weapons and the pace of the objectives. Packing so much into a single screen is a great feat and you should be very happy with what you've done here. I will say I would like maybe an endless score attack mode or something? I felt like when I was really getting into a rhythm with a level the elevator would open up to finish the level. I think if you let the player be in that flow state for longer it could really give them a chance to appreciate everything the game is doing. So much polish with this thing, the music, the menus, the sfx and feedback are all top notch! Thanks for creating such a fun game :)

Will have to check out your other games and looking forward to whatever you do next!

Hey esiotek,

I really enjoyed streaming your game:

The atmosphere you've created for a chess game is awesome. The glowing eyes high up in the distance really fill you with unease. A very simple premise that you've executed with style and polish. Not sure if it was intentional but I wasn't always knocked out when pieces jumped on my space. So it felt like I was cheesing the game a bit. I think if you wanted to expand further, perhaps some preset boards with specific solutions? As it did feel at times that I was just jumping between squares to create an opening. The game looked and played great so thank you for sharing.

Looking forward to your next projects!

Hey Davey!

Really enjoyed streaming your game and you were my Gem of the Stream!

Loved the artstyle of your game and the quirky characters were lots of fun. I can tell a lot of heart has gone into this one and although I didn't get far into the story I can tell it is one that will resonate with people who have gone through hard times. You should be very proud of what you've made here. The music was great and I especially liked your font choice, which I think is very important for games like this!

Excited to see the full game!

Hey WolfArt,

Loved streaming your game with Simon:

Thanks for sharing your game, I had a good time with it. Something I've been thinking about since playing was opening the dev menu to heal and fuel up. While I didn't mind the keyboard controls, I think everything should be controlled with the mouse. Adjusting the speed and drill by mouse click I think would feel more intuitive and give more control. Even making it so you had to open an extra menu to access each control would be more engaging, as it felt cool doing that when I was using the dev menu. Just a thought. Great job with the artwork and the music was nice too.

Looking forward to future updates!

Oh true haha! I think I meant the one's with specifically difficult/weird control schemes a la "Getting over it".

Hey dodeyrosinte,

Possessing my idiotic grandson's sword to fling him around the level was a lot of fun. Really love the art for the game and especially liked the cute animation for beating a level. I didn't get the chance to see all the mechanics in your game but what I played was great and you should be proud of what you have made.

I streamed my playthrough of the game (the video has chapters). Check it out:

Hey Man-o-Valor,

This game is so good! What a cool take on chess and vampire-survivor mechanics. The art, sound and music all worked well together and gameplay felt strategic and fun. There does seem to be some bugs with some power-ups. The muddy one completely froze the bishops and queens, they wouldn't move or attack. I also killed everything on screen but the game wouldn't progress (perhaps an enemy stuck off screen). I may have just understood wrong but the non-pawn moving to adjacent tile power-up didn't work the way I thought it would and lost a run. Is it that they can't move to tiles next to them? But I guess they can still attack. Anywho, those little bugs aside I had a really great time playing this and would be excited to see this polished up into a full game!

Hey sodaraptor,

What an amazing game! And you made it in 48 hours!?!? What a great talent you have. This is my first time playing a monkey ball-like game and I'm glad it was yours. The game is beautiful, music was just right and the gameplay was responsive and fun. I'm just realising that I completely forgot about the boost mechanic though haha but the fact that it was still a great time without it is a testament to what you've made.

Hey Cobrakyle2,

UHHHHGGHHHHHH, UUUUGGGHHGGGGH, UUUUUUUUHGHHGHG!
But seriously I had fun playing your game! It was pretty satisfying munching on all the humans. I especially enjoyed the level with smaller rooms and I think if the levels were more laid out like that you would feel less like you are wandering around in big empty spaces. Really great work for a jam game so you should be proud of what you've made.

Hey rubic,

This is the first time I've ever played one of these rage-inducing type games, and I had a real blast with it! Every time I was just about ready to give up I managed to understand the controls a little better and make it through to another section. Pretty sure I didn't get past the tutorial area but I still had a lot of fun playing it. Really great work from you and your team, top stuff!

Hey Mikoshi,

What a neat little fan game you have here! I enjoyed my time with it and would love to see how you expand on it more. Some sound and music would go a long way to juice things up. Would be cool too if the gun could be thrown harder.

Hey benitosub,

This game is awesome! The driving controls take a second to get used to but I really love the drifty feel. I am however not skilled enough to take on even the easy ai haha. The destruction physics were great and was not expecting my driver to fly out the window! If you're looking to expand on the game, would love to see more tracks and even just to simply change the colour of the car. Though if you were to add more models that would also be cool. I streamed my playthrough of your game and while the game was fine on my end, it was unfortunately lagging on stream (obviously an issue with my computer handling multiple things at once!) Hopefully my reaction to the game is enough to let people know I really enjoyed it.

Hey Ofihombre,

What an achievement! So much variety in this gem of a game. I feel like the controls during 3D sections could be a little tighter, but the 2D sections are perfect! It would also be cool if your rankings showed under the level numbers maybe? Or are they displayed somewhere in the menus? Would be helpful for those that may want to 100% the game. The music really matches the vibe of the game. This game is very charming, you should be very proud of what you've accomplished.

BTW I chose your game as my Gem of the Stream!

Thank you for giving my game a try! Really appreciate the video feedback too. I've definitely made a lot of improvements since you played it. My next goal is a polished demo. I hope you'll come back to play it! Also I've subscribed to your channel 😁

Hey mellow!

Absolutely adorable game! Such a fun and chill way to end my stream last night so thank you for sharing your game with me. This is definitely a game you could just keep updating forever, just adding stuff when you feel like it. What you have right now is perfect and I loved creating a home for my little kittens. I admit and you will see in the video that I started heartmaxxing at the end and I did manage to get max hearts in a short time. Reducing your heart economy could delay this tactic but the big thing is being able to pet multiple kittens at once. But if you don't think it's a problem I wouldn't worry about it. Plenty of people will have a chill time and just a few will try to break the game haha. Loved the art and the sfx you chose sound great. You should be very proud of what you have made!!

Should mention as well that I chose your game as my Gem of the Stream!

Here is the video with my playthrough (towards the end):

Looking forward to your future works!

Hi Cherith!

Really cool game you have here. Even with 9 years on the clock it feels like every second counts. I can see how after beating the game (or failing) for the first time, would make you want to use what you've learned to make a more optimized run. UI is great and really has that old school charm. I would love for their to be some crunchy old school sfx for button presses and time passing etc. but you made this in 21 days!! So understandable what you wanted to focus on. A great accomplishment and job well done.

See my playthrough here:

Looking forward to your future projects!

Hi tbone,

This game is awesome! I haven't played too many point and click games but the story was intriguing from the get go and the pacing of it all was really solid. I am sad that a certain character didn't make it (the video makes it clear who haha) but it also made me more determined to figure out what happened. The music was just right for the chill investigations. Only thing I might suggest is more indication on how the pages will solve, is it when I get the whole page right or just a certain section? Anywho check out the vid to see what I was doing:

Looking forward to more games from you!

Hi Kodar!

It took me a little bit to get used to this game and what you've created is quite challenging! But overall it was a fun arcade experience and you should be proud of what you have made. I took a little too long figuring out how to pick up the orb, perhaps a tutorial level? Rather than just on screen instructions. I also suggest balancing the difficulty a little more. I could really only get anywhere on the easiest difficulty. I go into more detail in my video:

Looking forward to your future games!
