Very fun game! It feels like it has quite a high skill ceiling; its something that you could get really good at if you put a lot of time into it. After grinding the game for a bit, my best score was 132.

I had a blast playing this. Really cool stuff! Creative puzzles and a really interesting story.

Incredible game. You’ve done something really unique and creative here. I loved the story, and the kinda iron-lung-esque picture system was really neat too. I got both the endings, but I was a bit confused while getting the second ending..

Otherwise everything about this game was super solid. The ambience and horror elements were done really well, and the game’s terminal theme and art is perfect. Amazing stuff overall!

Thanks so much for playing! There's actually a speedrun mode in level select if you want to save your times :D

Really well made game! Crazy that you got so much done in a week! Great work overall.

Thanks for playing, and I appreciate the feedback! I'll look into making it more readable after the gamejam voting

(glad you enjoyed hosehead too!!)

im... glad... you... enjoyed... playing... this... blurgo

Very interesting game, and a very creative take on the theme! I really love the visual style too, great stuff overall!

Very fun game, and very unique take on the game jam theme! Cool that you included 2 different games! I think the first game would be a bit more fun if the ship was more responsive. Apart from that, I really like the medals system, and I think you did a great job with this game overall!

Cool game! Very nice art.

This was a super fun game! I really enjoyed speeding through the levels as fast as I could. My best time was about 42 seconds, and I recorded my run here

Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

Very cool game!

Very fun and beautiful game! Quite challenging at first. Controls are fun to get the hang of.

oo yeah, i like those ideas. thanks for the suggestions!

Very fun! I like the story that you added too!

Thank you for the kind words!

I don't really have much of an online presence right now, but I might try to start some sort of youtube content in the near future!

Hey thank you for the very helpful and detailed feedback!

The screams in the music are sampled from 'Lyn Collins - Think (About It)' and 'Reverend W.A. Donaldson & Congregation - Baptizing Scene (1959)' (a sample from Kanye West's Paris song)

And yes I definitely agree that the art direction was quite weak in this game compared to other aspects like the gameplay, music or UI. art is the part of gamedev that I struggle with most - i often find it quite hard, and not super enjoyable. I attempted background decor / furniture, but scrapped it since it didn't look great. I think spending more time on improving the game's art (and improving my art skills) is a really good idea, and I think your feedback is spot on.

I think the predictable, repetitive aspect of the gameplay is a fair point too. new obstacles or mechanics that are part of the level itself would be my main focus if I extended the scope of the game - things like water refill zones, moving obstacles or platforms, that sort of thing could be nice. I'll definitely keep your advice in mind if i further develop the game.

Thank you again for the well-written feedback, I really appreciate it!

such a well made game, sunk a bunch of time into this one. very satisfying to cure a large crowd of zombies, and the upgrade system is really nice. super good stuff!

Thank you so much! Sorry that it was too hard - balancing the difficulty was quite a tough challenge for me, and perhaps in the future some settings could be added so more people can enjoy the game.

Very fun, and a very unique take on the theme! The balance of letting whispering spread for more points without hurting the performance too much is really interesting. Great job with the game!

hahahah noo, only play the hard levels if you enjoy the challenge!

Thanks for letting me know its possible. I was worried that there might have been an oversight. That was an insanely hard solution! Took me very long to complete it, hahah

This was such a clever puzzle platformer. The puzzles were designed super well, as the levels often tricked me into attempting the puzzle incorrectly before I got it right. Very satisfying to complete these levels, really great job!

Edit: There were a few very small bugs that you can hopefully fix - restarting while in a jar keeps it open, and restarting sometimes doesnt reset the trail. I was also stuck on level 9 for a very long time, and it doesnt seem possible.

Thanks for playing, and thanks for your feedback! I believe you were playing the 6th level, where there is a big smokey area at the top left - admittedly, its not very clear that it kills you, so I'll try make it more clear in the next update! Currently, the pause menu does mention what level you are on too, but its not very obvious, and I might change this in a future update too

Very interesting game! The concept is super unique, and I have no idea how you made that work. I felt that the character's movement when solid could be improved by making it a bit more responsive. Otherwise, I enjoyed playing through all the levels, and I just love how the main menu looks too. Really good stuff overall!

Very fun! I love the upgrade system, and the boss fight was super cool too!

What a creative game! It's such an interesting idea to use puppetry for the characters, really great work!

Stunning game! such polished visuals, really amazing stuff!

well you're in luck! there's a speedrun mode in the level select screen, and a leaderboard over here: https://www.speedrun.com/HOSEHEAD

Quite a fun and challenging game! I love the art style, and I love the multitasking gameplay too. Very cool stuff!

What a gem. Really enjoyed playing!

Neat concept! I like the direction that you're heading with the game. It looks like it might need a bit more polish since sometimes I have some trouble picking up the bread. Otherwise, I think it's a fun prototype with a cool aesthetic!

Very fun and polished! All of the gameplay, music and art is done really well!

Very cute and super polished! Well done!

Thanks for playing! I really like the idea of individual level timers - I had started writing code to implement this but decided to scale down the scope a bit. I can definitely add this as an update after the game jam, so thanks for the feedback!

Very creative and interesting puzzle game! The puzzles were very challenging. If you continue to work on this game, I'd recommend teaching the puzzle concepts more gradually, as it can be a bit too tricky and overwhelming to solve. Otherwise, I enjoyed playing it, and I think you did a great job at fitting to the theme!

Very fun game! Takes a bit to get used to it, but really challenging and enjoyable once you get the hang of it

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind words :D

Love the art style!
