Loved the pixel art and overall presentation, and the gameplay was engaging. A lot more personality than I expected for the timeline, but think the game could be much improved with audio and music design. I liked the straightforward gameplay loop, but agree that some balancing would have been a good step with more time. Overall good experience worth having and a good submission to the jam.

What a great, challenging game. The game doesn't explain itself much, but doesn't really need to, and the rising-water challenge is unique and interesting. I like how the sand blocks were limited resources, and the pixel art was quite appealing, but I do wish there had been more time for sound or music design. Good animations on the character, and the water looked good too. Overall a great experience worth having and a good submission to the jam.
Genuinely fun game, I was hooked from the moment I read the note, and it only took me like 2 minutes to understand the game. I did like dodging and shooting, but to be honest, I could only find the first number because I didn't really get the second clue, even after wasting 20 ammo and dying a few times, haha. I did really love the simple and tight puzzle gameplay though, and it controlled quite well, although some of the art assets and animations could be improved. Overall a fun experience worth having and a great submission to the jam.
Ton of polish, and great, easy-to-understand, interactive gameplay. Good sprite and animation design, and liked the sound design too. The short levels were a great format for this type of gameplay, and the overall experience felt curated and rewarding. Great experience worth having and an excellent submission to the jam.
Good sound design and fun gameplay loop. Was a bit frustrating at first, but was engaging once I got into it. The art is pleasing and fits the theme well, but I wonder if the limitation could have been implemented more integrally to the game. Overall fun experience worth having and a great submission to the jam.
Fun and challenging game with good physics once I got used to it, and good sprite and sound design. I got stuck at the first few challenges for a while, but the game felt fair after a while. Would have loved more UI screens and elements maybe for clarity, but overall fun experience worth having and a great submission for the jam.
Cute game, love the pixel art and sound design, and the palette was used really well. The game had a really chill vibe and was more relaxing than many of the other entries. I do wish I had some firmer idea of where the game would end up from the beginning, but that might just be my impatience talking. Overall a charming and friendly experience worth having, and a great submission for the jam.
Great sound design - love the crab effect - great theming on itch, great attention to detail on click-animation, great crab-animation and overall great curated experience!
One thing that might have helped me is having a set number of points in mind to win, or some overall game objective from the start, and I kind of wish the bigger crabs gave more points, though I'm not sure if that's part of the design though. Overall fun game and I definitely enjoyed my time with it, very polished experience!
