Cool original arcade game. I enjoyed it.

That was a great story. Great pacing and had me hooked from the start.

Pretty cool. Simple to learn and hard to master. I like the over the top capsule and video thumbnail art. Linking the hitpoints to the music intensity is a clever way to minimize the number of UI elements.

Fun and original puzzler. I enjoyed it, keep it up

No need to apologize, I'm also a game programmer so I have a lot of understanding for games with bugs ^^

The launch bug might just be a Godot thing. Maybe it's possible for the game bundle to become corrupted when the tab gets force quit.

Cute style! Could be really fun with some goals or a surrounding world, and maybe some different food types and unique body parts. For now I don't know much more to do than place a few creatures and press play. It is really impressive for a gamejam game though.

I think I got an infinite loop by placing 3 heads (far apart) and then adding a body part to each head. Without pressing the new creature button. The whole game/browser tab froze. I even had to disable the browser cache to get the game to load again, I think the savefile got corrupted or something.

Amazing, very well done addition to the Minesweeper genre. When I was a kid playing the original on Windows 98 I never would have expected there would be a whole category of Minesweeper games.

You could flip the focus on 2,3,11,12 by changing the score condition from "least attempts" to  "least rerolls" for some (but not all) rounds. That would force the player to work with what they have instead of using the rerolls to finish the round as fast as possible. Cheers!

Wonderful dice based game. I played up to round 14. Took me a while to get the hang of it, but it clicked after a while. The game is a bit on the easy side once you understand how it works, which is fine honestly. It would be nice to be able to see what effects are on all sides of your dice. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful artstyle. Some of the interactions are a bit choppy, which takes me out of it. The framerate drops by a lot when hitting the zen bell thingy for instance.

Amazing article, well written and great starter for anyone who wants to learn how to use compact gradient texturing. 

My only nitpick is that the title claims an in-engine performance analysis while only making surface level remarks about performance without any data to back it up. Some benchmark comparisons between gradient texturing with more vertices vs less vertices and higher resolution textures or even with lighting are needed to prove the real benefit, especially on mobile devices. I could not find any benchmarks or references to benchmarks in the paper either, although I don't speak Spanish so it's difficult to say.

Wow, I've wanted to make a jam based incremental since forever. It's fun to see someone else beat me to it. Looks great, can really see the Cookie Clicker inspiration what with the producer buildings being visualised in the rectangles like that. 

Really needs upgrades, income is a bit low right now. The phasing strawberry (I think it was called that?) gives a ton more production than any of the buildings. The hover area where you can see the names of the chefs seems a bit small. I love how all their names start with J. Hope the feedback helps. Well done so far and keep it up!

Great arcade racer, very responsive controls. AI at intermediate is already really challenging!

Cool take on the loop/task based subgenre of idle games. Some feedback points:

• Fullscreen doesn't actually make the game fullscreen. It would have been nice to have bigger UI especially for reading the story text. My eyes got a bit tired by the end
• Some of the piloting sections take a bit long while you don't have anything to do but wait for the next story beat
• Some of the actions stay while it doesn't make much sense for them to stay. Such as taking water pouches from the workshop while you're long gone in the rover
• The food/water collection get a bit tedious throughout the piloting section. Although I'm guessing you have already  planned automation for repeated tasks in later stages of the game

Aside from the UI size none of these were that detrimental to the preview demo but would be nice to see those polished out in a final version. I enjoyed the space theming and plot of strange artifacts causing shenanigans. On top of that the story beats are well written. Keep it up!

Wonderful short incremental. The UI can be a bit overwhelming but this isn't a big deal because the game is very forgiving with constant costs for buying producers. I loved the theme and short story beats, well done.

Great tongue in cheek humor. I really didn't know what to expect. Short but sweet

I loved the artstyle! It's also a breath of fresh air to see a narrative game in the jam. Even though I didn't get all the jobs correct on the first try, having the goal of assigning everyone still added a nice layer to the reading process. Overall a great entry, keep it up.

Great time attack game. I love the low-res game window, it works very well for the spritework and is still legible. The 8-bit track and SFX are great as well. Very cozy game overall :)

I think despite what you wrote on the game's page about it not being very polished this is a great entry. The art is beautiful, the music is very relaxing and the scooter sounds great while driving around. The writing is well done too, I love the little characters and all their short stories.

Maybe next time you can manage to build the game as you envisioned it. Three days is a short time to make a game. Keep creating!

Great game. Finding the echidna's nest felt like a little secret, going underground. Getting down from the tree was a challenge, that bird got really aggressive! Some way to do a partial jump would have made climbing the tree a bit faster. I got 17 nuts, I think that's all of them. Overall an amazing entry. Looks great, sounds great, short and sweet.

What a great take on a tower defense style game. I love how everything is connected via roots. For a moment I forgot about having to reach the water, but then by wave #14 I managed to reach it. Having to grow specific types of pumpkins to earn more stars/growth points is clever. I never figured out what the star plant does.

I tried going fullscreen using F11, but only afterwards read here in the comments that the correct key is F 😭 I think in GameMaker you can change the game project settings to allow window scaling via the top buttons and dragging the edges too.

The game looks and sounds great as well. The tiny sprites combine very well with the mouth sound effects.

Thank you so much, really glad you liked it

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it

Thansk for playing! I saw your playthrough on Twitch. Always fun to see gameplay footage with live reaction, it's much appreciated

Playing on touchpad sounds like a real challenge! Creating input agnostic controls during a gamejam is not always easy😅

Thank you alljay!

Thanks for playing!

Very clever way to integrate the Expansion theme. Pretty fun game overall. The level design could use some work. For instance I went gameover on a fly that flew into me very quickly, I simply couldn't inflate the balloon fast enough. The balloon physics could use some work. After deflating the balloon you don't start falling until moving right again.

Despite some quirks, a very solid jam entry. I love the name of your game, probably the best name in the whole jam. :) Keep up the good work!

What's this? An endless runner disguised as a wonderfully illustrated game with top notch audio effects?

I managed to get 53 fireflies on my second run. Wonderful halloween theme, looks great, sounds great, no remarks. You could probably upload this to some other websites like Newgrounds and get good ratings. Amazing jam entry, keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words! And I appreciate the feedback. Polishing certain interactions and animations was mostly time constrained, the pressure was real!

That was brilliant. My only complaint is that the timer didn't add much, and yet caused me to replay 3/4 of the game. Amazingly done jam game, keep up the good work.

Nice concept, I managed to find all but 3 of the geese. I think I kept coming accross the same 3 ponds, even when following the streams connecting them. Quite amazing how geese manage to migrate anywhere, flying around for hours to pick up their flock only to drop them off 100m from where they started! Jokes aside, I liked it and the game was well done. It was difficult to orient myself because the map was so zoomed in, some way to fly lower and higher to increase your vision would do a lot for this game. The entire flock honking along was a great touch, very satisfying. Overall a great jam entry, keep it up!

PS: a small UX issue is that I personally expected the "geese waiting to be picked up" counter to go down when I picked them up instead of when I dropped them off. The game would probably be easier if I first picked up the entire flock before dropping them off.

Mr Mustachio is here to save the day

Very impressive to have a fully fledged building game with such nice environments in such a short time. I did play exclusively in creative mode. In unlimited mode the clearances for being allowed to place something were way too tight, so I could only put a few items on the chestnut.

PS: I played the desktop version, definitely on the heavy side for a web build! But the web version got me hooked in at least

Wow, what a great cozy game. It looks really pretty and sweeping up leaves is simply satisfying! I think I found some 10-15 ghosts and only 1 collectible, the acorn. Would have loved to see more of the other items. Very well done overall, keep it up!

Hooray, I unleased the pumpkin king! ... That's good right?

The hopping movement is a refreshing way to do a platformer. The slight squish of the pumpkin made the jump pretty satisfying. Some air control would have been nice.

Sometimes people can't make it to the start of the jam or aren't in the right state of mind to participate. It happens, better luck next time.

I already left a comment on the game page but I'd like to add the guitar music is great. Keep it up.

Also I swear the pumpkins get every so slightly squished when you pick up and release them. That's a nice detail.

The sprites are well done, and I love how the cursor turned into a little apple. I collected 25 apples, not sure if that was all of them.

Nice snake game. Having separate levels for the different clothing types is clever. The sounds for changing direction are well done. Sometimes the yarn would spawn in the void, forcing you to lose a lot of progress. The art for the menu is cute, and kinda funny because the snakes have arms so they can fit their sweaters
