The visuals are really nice in game and the destruction physics are really cool to see in a jam game!

Some things that definetly could use a touch up is the movement and UI scaling. 

Movement was painfully slow for me, it made running to grab an object just kind of a drag.

In unity I recommend always setting Canvas Scaler to Scale with screen size for jam games, it tends to be alot more consistent at making the UI fit different resolutions!

Again the characters design and the in game art was delightful, and I think this would have felt alot better with those two changes. Great work for a short jam!

Fantastic visuals and lots of area variety too! full animations in a jam are not easy to do so well done. Plus characters were peak designs, loved em.

You also as far as I can tell passed that "coyote time" check so ggs haha. Overall movement was pretty satisfying.

Was an interesting take on the theme, things both got more hectic *and* you physically needed to climb higher and higher which was a cool take on the limitation!

I will say the movement system felt like it was built for another type of level design at times, in that it felt very momentum based, starting to move was almost sonic-esc in its speed, but you used it to go up rather then forward. There was almost never a time where I got to maintain the higher speed. It did end up making me need to plan my jumps more carefully and make sure I had enough space to run up (and slow down so I dont fall off because of the momentum) so this is arguably not that big of a deal but just my thoughts! I think since this was a game about going upwards, more tools to help with that might have been nice, ie a double jump or maybe some form of charge jump (crouch then jump to jump higher). 

That is all disregarding the fact that 3 days is not alot of time and what you do have is fantastic great work!

Really sick entry, its cute and is a really impressive entry on a technical side.

It was cool to have a variety of Cat types, it added a fun element, and rotating around the map does let you get better angles. I did find for the fast cat it was really hard to tell what angle they would shoot out at. The other cats felt a bit better about that imo.

I also noticed that if you win with your last cat it still seems to count as a defeat, a bit of a unfortunate edge case there. So that and having the aim feel a bit more consistent would be nice.

Overall really nice entry with great visuals and fun gameplay, and great work for 3 days!

Cool to see yall update! I definitely do like the UI more now personally haha. Great stuff!

thanks for playing!

If it's 9 demon dogs out of 10, where is the last one hehe

CONGRATS! not many people are said to have beaten it yet. So exciting to see someone else do it haha.

Would love to keep working on it, but got other things I gotta work on first. But it's definetly gonna be high up in my project ideas.

Thanks for playing and enjoying the game so much you took the time to beat it!

Really fun game, the sonic vibes in the level start and end screen are super fun!

I think you said in the Discord at one point "depth perception hard" or something to that nature and gotta say, yeah I feel that haha, was alot of fun and the shadow was very helpful at times. Momentum gameplay was great too, but took me a hot minute to learn there was a dash (I didnt read the description and went right in), would be nice if there was some indication on what buttons I need to use hehe, but other then a bit of learning it was alot of fun.

Visuals were very enjoyable and the music was pretty interesting. Is it weird that the game made me think of De Blob? just the vibes, colors, oil, playing as a ball.

Had lots of fun I think my winning run was a C rank.

Great work on this game

I did have fun! :3

I wouldnt call it a mess haha, the UI does do its purpose afterall! and in a jam thats often enough. Good work on the game

That nature of jams, theres gonna be questionable design decisions for sure lol. Game was alot of fun, and honestly capping the Maps/Axes is a good call otherwise the late game would be 100% fishing for those so makes sense!

Falling sand simulation? absolutely peak great job. Really reminded me of Little big planet bomb survivals, really brought me back. Want the biggest into the font choice, and the number over the helicopter felt a bit weird? it did help avoid dying for the most part so its good. 
Great stuff for a jam, good stuff

Quite the Submission.

I really wish WASD or arrow keys could move you instead, the clicking wasn't the nicest way to move all those tiles. It was kinda neat to discover the "you can drop bombs in the fog strat".  Wasn't expecting a maze game really was convinced it would be more Puzzle heavy, haha. Good stuff!

Cute game, enjoy playing it. I found it hard to tell if I was next to a tree in the late game, maybe having the grid be slightly visible would help with that? I also accidentally skipped the score screen since I was spamming space to chop. Other then that I had a pretty fun and smooth time. Great work!

Enjoyed my time with this, some balance work would probably help, the stone throwers felt like they had infinite range, I spent my time running around gathering resources to build more. On wave 15 enemies just stopped spawning completely, I think I could have gone forever with my army of stone throwers, but it was enjoyable to watch them melt everything everywhere. Wasn't sure if this was an intentional stop but took it as if I had beaten it.

Something with the UI was that it was a bit much to need to scan every edge of the screen, bottom to see what I was selecting, top to see what I had, right to see tower details. I think the UI could use some streamlining so that you can see some of those things together. This is an option to have things in 1 place, would minimize looking all around the screen to get all the info you need, just my thought. 
The Ui does its job already, but this is just a fun thing to keep in mind for UI.

Overall it was enjoyable and there is a good chunk here for a jam game, great work yall!

Thanks! I am glad the feeling was captured! 
I could totally see how that would be disorienting 

Heyo really fun game, did about 5 rounds.

First round died fast as I figured things out, wasnt too hard but game opened up when I realized the board will always have the same things on it as long as you have less than 25 items total. 

Second round I got to round 14 iirc, buy lots of stuff and my board became a mess.

Third round I realized that fire crackers and bombs were basically completely dead space and started only grabbing ores early to help me afford better bombs. Fire Crackers and Bombs being deadspace definitely started to hurt and I tried to beat round 20, as I found the biggest factor in runs was Shop RNG.

Forth round Decided to record incase I hit round 20 (I did not, forgive the shit audio)

Really engaging game, great work! I have minimal feedback other then having a shop reroll would be nice for the late game to make runs more consistent.

Very nice entry! I think the take of the Tetris styled endless puzzle games works really well for this limitation.

I found on easy the game was basically play forever, I even had to step away for a bit and came back, was still alive and recovered with ease. I find in infinite games like this its good to have some sort of scaling so that you cant play forever. That being said on easy I played up to 20k points before just letting myself die. IIrc how tetris does this is as you hit certain scores you go up in difficulty, and the difficulty just determines where you start. That would be very welcome here I think!

On hard I think the game does everything right (tho I do just enjoy hard gameplay :3) the constant stream is fast enough that keeping up is going to be hard and it does keep escalating naturally as a result of the system. Good stuff! got up to 4K on that one.

The controls where great, felt good and the aiming felt very accurate. The visuals were clear and it was very easy to figure out what was going on. The tutorial screen communicated the important details as well clearly and quickly (and its great that I can reopen it!). Only thing I can mention is that once or twice my mouse would leave the window and I would not fire, not a big deal tho once I adapted.

Great entry!

I do love my grids hehe, thanks for playing!
Its very hard so don't worry if you cant beat it.

Yeah I definitely aimed to make it very hard haha.  

Mostly because its what I like in games and in Jam games in particular. For me if a jam game takes me a while to grind out to beat then it really enraptured me afterall! Second phase is brutal so I can see how one could get stuck there, Its probably the hardest phase. 

Glad you found it satisfying and thanks for playing!

Cant rate since I didn't join but I did have fun on it! 105 turns to complete

So to summarize my thoughts:
- I didn't read the tutorial clearly so there was a learning curve at first. Having H to reopen it helped alot so I could learn without resetting the run.

- Without a deck viewer the mid game got kind of hard as I had to just memorize what colors I was going for, not too bad once you get the seagull treats and start culling your deck of anything that isn't of your 3 colors. But definitely wasn't the most fun part of the challenge.

- The balance between drawing / culling, and getting points was great, alot of looking at your hand and deciding "is this a draw/cull hand? or is it a score hand? it made turns more dynamic since I couldn't just look for the best score every time.

- Took me a bit to figure out how to buy things, I had to reopen the tutorial to be reminded.

- Seagull treats took me a bit to figure out. At first I thought they would break open the mid game by permanently getting the seagull. This was wrong, then I was disappointed that I spend 24 to discard 1 card but I bit the bullet and kept buying treats. This was also wrong, they weren't 1 time use and I dint need to keep buying treats, just needed to redraw them! which did crack open the mid game! just in a different way! Getting cards that are used to modify your deck was super interesting.

- Visuals were somewhat static but dragging cards and buying them felt good enough.

- I think its truely impressive that you managed to create a game with distinct phases of the game. Early game is simple, you buy ice cream of 1 color and match. Mid game you start to transition into getting tier 2s and going for new combos. Late game you are switching between deck management via culling singles and scoring, you need a good score to get sundays, and once you have a sunday getting score opens up and you speed to the end.

Overall really great work had a blast clearing this one.

some QOL that would be nice for a game like this that like fitting into a jam would have been hard so it makes sense if it wasnt added:

- Deck viewer so you don't need to remember what your trying to snipe, especially since the colors dont have any effects to recognize them by

- Clicking on cards in your hand to teleport them to the first open slot in the market, since order does not matter.

- Discard/Draw pile counts to know when your deck is about to shuffle.

- The ability to end the turn with empty slots, It felt bad when I had a seagull and cake, and had to just slap in a cone for the sake of clearance. Especially in the mid game where I would just straight up skip turns looking for seagulls or better hands. At a certain point a bad hand just isnt even worth playing.

Thats all my thoughts! Thanks for making this is was alot of fun

Hey I did stream feedback here is the segment I played yours.
I played it for a uhhh chunk of time so you might want to skip to near the end where I tried to tldr my feedback.
Really well executed all around!

Hey there I was playing games on stream! Here is the recorded bit of this game:

Thanks for the feedback! I am curious if you got a good example of horror music you had in mind would be a good reference!

thanks again for playing and the kind words!

Oreos dipped in pudding is a nice treat, vanilla pudding specifically hehe.

Thank you so much for the praise! and thank you for playing!

You got the loot and thats all that matters hehe, I am glad you found it fun!

Thanks for playing

Dang that's an unfortunate way to go heh.

Thanks for playing!

Thank you so much for playing! I can definitely see why they are rare haha, its hard to fit in the amount of content that feels right. 

I see what you mean about the map size, its not super densely populated with anything so it can feel even more empty in that sense. THanks for the feedback!

Hey there! I was playing games on stream and here is the section when I played your game!

Addicting little score chaser! it was fun!

Nice little game! I was playing games on stream so here is the segment where I played yours:

You were there, you know what this is about :sip:
Again really amazing work 

Heya I was doing feedback on stream! Here is the recording of your game. Really fun! really loved the ending:

Heya! as I said, here is the recorded version of my feedback! I know you were there during the stream but here you go! Still loved the art!

Hey there! I am doing stream/video feedback, since it can be really helpful to see someone play the game. This game was full of charm and I enjoyed my time with it!

Hey there I am doing stream/video feedback, really enjoyed this one, I have very little to say in ways to improve the game. I do agree with what others have said about the text, but I got into the mood and was on edge for alot of it!

Hey there! I am playing games on stream and giving good old video feedback: 

Thanks for playing! I did kind of think about something like that with the (basically functionless) time tracker.

That's a good strategy for safety, but I could see it might be more tedious when all units are all together

oo that sounds very neat, I'll have to look into what flash game that was. Thanks for playing!

ah good call, it's definetly on the higher side. 

The intent was to deinsentivise combat a little bit. But might have gone to far in that direction haha.

Thanks for playing

Hey there! I am doing feedback on stream and uploading it on youtube.

I apologize in advance I started recording after I had gotten a bit into the game! Your the first person I am doing this for so was sloppy. Sorry if I was a bit unclear about anything or what not too!

Played it on stream, the flying kick was a high point for me! felt very snappy, just needs a few frames for fire effect.
