This was amazing! I spent so many hours playing Rogue Squadron for PC as a kid so, this was a great blast of nostalgia. And there were no tow cables in the level so it was even better! The controls felt really great, and I had a lot of fun speeding through that final tunnel to escape before the explosion. The music was also a great homage to the soundtracks for the movies/games. Nice job!
I gotta say - I didn't expect to play a first-person shooter golf game this jam, this was really creative. I had a lot of fun blasting the evil golf balls with the corpses of their fallen friends. Great job!
Fun game with a nice relaxing soundtrack! I thought a lot of the level design and difficulty ramp was well done. My one piece of criticism is that there were a few levels where you have to do the same maneuver a couple of times, when I was struggling to get through even the first one lol. So maybe just one or two times would suffice for those levels. Fun entry!
Nice entry! The sound design and juice of the gun felt really good, and the first time I died to the bees, it really freaked me out. I also liked being able to see some of the red eyes in the distance to help with getting lost, that was a good touch. Nice job!
This was amazing! The first game I have yet to rate for this jam, and you've set the bar really high. I'm a sucker for this type of engine-building roguelike gameplay and this was really well executed, especially given the time constraints. You should definitely look into a full release for this amazing job!
Thanks so much for playing! Funny bug you found too - I hadn’t encountered that while playing testing but it totally makes sense how it could get into that state. I’ll have to patch it once the voting period is over. Appreciate the feedback!
This was really incredible! I feel like with jam games it's easy to play for a bit and then move on to the next one, but this really sucked me in, and I felt compelled to finish it. I'm so glad I did! Really great narrative device with the hard drive, and I really loved the fake Unity intro when going into each of the games. There was also a great progression with the quality of the games in a very authentic way. Excellent job to the team, the writing was top notch, and it's going to be really tough to find another game in the jam that tops this one.
Honestly, I would consider fleshing this out to a full release, it feels like it's basically there already. A great love letter to game development as an art form and hobby that can be used for human expression. Really fantastic work!
Great concept! I really like the idea of using a game's settings to solve puzzles, it's a neat idea I've never seen before. I was able to solve about half of the puzzles, the others I couldn't quite figure out after trying a couple different ideas. One suggestion would be to maybe configure the level order to start with the easiest levels first to ease the user into the concept, because it can take a few tries to wrap your head around it. Nice job!
Nice job! I loved the hand-drawn aesthetic, and the hand-mouse pointer reminded a lot of the good old days playing the Wii. Good game juice too, the shockwave move was satisfying to use. Good entry!
Aesthetically, this was top notch! The visuals, the game feel of the arms, the SFX, everything worked together really well. You were able to get a lot of mileage out of the limited color palette. Nice job!
This felt super polished, honestly with a few more levels this could be good to go for a full release. The sound effects and screenshake really tie the whole thing together, and the puzzles were really well designed. Nice job!
This was a really fun take on a typing game! I thought I would crush this because I can type quickly but I quickly realized that was not the case. This was a super charming entry, great work!
Wow this game rules. Everything really came together, the gameplay, the audio, the artstyle, they all complimented each other. And while it's really funny, it's not a complete joke because the gameplay is also weirdly addictive. Easily one of my favorites in the jam so far, great job!
The art style of this game is great! I started off super confident but I quickly realized my strategy of "throw everything at the first spot I see it" wasn't going to work you. Nice job!
Thanks for checking the game out! I agree - I think this is a concept I was really excited about after brainstorming the theme, but I don't quite think I fully nailed the execution in the time we were given, it definitely needs a little tweaking. Maybe I'll keep with this one a little longer and see if I can squeeze more out of it!
Thank you so much! Yeah, agreed - right now the "micro" battles feel pretty bland because they have none of the adjacency bonus stuff on the top layer. I think adding more risk-reward on that front would make things more engaging. Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely agree about the AI - I wish I had just another day to tweak it all because I already have some ideas on ways that it could have been improved. Appreciate the feedback!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, my original idea was actually to have an infinitely recursive set of hexes that could go up and down forever but couldn't figure out how to make that work gameplay wise - maybe I'll find a way to incorporate that someday!
This was a lot of fun! I was pretty engaged trying to keep the pigs on screen while also keeping track of the necessary troops. It was a little difficult to remember which level of pig was which, but after a few games I got the hang of it. Nice job!
This was really cute, I love the design of the main character. I was impressed that you were able to design a compelling open world in such a short amount of time. It's really cool that growing in size kind of recontextualizes things that you've already seen before. The piece pick up animation could be a tad shorter, but overall this was a really great game! Nice job!
This was really cool! I liked how the shadows helped to telegraph where the pieces were going to land. I also was a huge fan of the little tetris fakeout at the beginning to introduce the concept. Really fun entry!
I didn't expect to see a game of this scale (no pun intended) done in such a short amount of time. It was really cool flipping between the different characters and seeing how they influenced each other's paths. The artstyle and music really helped sell the kind of "huge scale but abandoned" atmosphere. This was awesome!
This was a lot of fun! Reminded me of a Mario Party minigame with the way all the little fruits were lined up to take their turn. Sometimes it was a little tough to judge the depth of my character, but overall this was a really charming entry. Nice job!
This was awesome! I can't believe both the quality and the quantity of the puzzles you were able to come up with in the amount of time we had. I like the retro tetris-esque aesthetic, too. Admittedly, I did need to use a few hints, but they were really helpful for me in the early levels to wrap my head around the mechanic. Nice job!
This was great! The soundtrack was a banger and the 1bit artstyle looked great. It was a little bit difficult to see if I was getting hit sometimes (I think due to the opacity of the bullets maybe), but overall this is a solid entry!
A fun twist on the Flappy-genre! It was interesting to have to keep track of both the top and bottom of the bird, and it definitely fit the theme well. Nice work!
There were a good amount of levels in this, and the art was fantastic! It gave off 90's cartoon energy, which is always appreciated. It's also the first jam game I've played so far with full nudity, so you definitely get some points there. Nice job!
Cool concept and nice relaxing gameplay! I thought it fit the theme really well, and it was really satisfying to watch my planet grow.
If you were to expand on this, I would maybe consider adding a gamemode where non-like tiles give adjacency bonuses, rather than like tiles, and see how that impacts the gameplay. It may make planning a little more difficult and force the player to get creative about how they're going to lay everything out.
Overall though I thought this was a cool entry and I definitely see a path to expand this with more biomes! Great job!
Maybe make them just a hair less floaty? Don't make them too snappy because I feel like it definitely works in the context of floating through space, but there were a few times when I was "stuck" on a planet, and it was a little difficult to build enough momentum to get up and around it. That being said, I'm also kind of an impatient person, so maybe take what I'm saying with a grain of salt.
Actually I didn't think to put them in the chamber! But they were super useful to bring back down to the remaining planets and show them what fate would befall them if they didn't cooperate
