For being made in such a short time, this game has a TON of soul. (I laughed at planting the face to plug in) Stellar job, with a great level of polish!

Nice interpretation of the theme. The artwork is cute. I don't manage to climb the electric pole. I will try again.

Quadratic squaredBenson is the best game I've played in the game jam. The theme fit is on point. The puzzles are fun and challenging, and it is so satisfying to connect to a socket.

Critter ConnectionsThis is a really fun and cute game that reminds me a lot of old nitrome games, specifically Rustyard (which I played a lot while growing up)! The mechanics are neat and have huge potential for all kinds of wild puzzles!

Jim & Bob: Escape From ApertureVery cute game. The animation when he inserts his eye sockets is hilarious.

Emotional BubblesFun little puzzle platformer game and I love puzzle platformer games :v. Wasn't too hard but you had to think about it for a bit to be able to solve it. It even had a great narrative or story. One of the best games in this jam for me, great job!

The Man in the MirrorFun little game. I got stuck on the crane level, though. Still, I think it's a great mechanic and I'm just too big of a noob to not be able to enjoy the game properly. Also, I read the description, get well soon!

Three Of UsAn unbelievably innovative and fun game. I really don't have anything else to say about it other than keep to it up! Five stars all around.

Constellar ExpressA character that plugs their face into wall sockets is the kind of zaney design choice that you only see in game jams! I loved it.
My only critique was that it wasn't obvious what was and was not a platform, which made the puzzles a little more difficult than they otherwise would be. Apart from that, the art and sound you had were great.
Good job with this entry!

WanderlandLove the artstyle! The character is cute and you have a great mechanic! I wasn't expecting that ending.
Thank you for making this game, I really enjoyed it!

Hold the ConnectionI love it a lot! I fell in love with the artstyle. The smooth animation and black and white color scheme? Gorgeous. The gameplay is simple and fun. Me and my slow brain had some trouble with the puzzles, especially where platforming was concerned (then again, this is the same person who gets stuck playing boxboy) . I love the endings too! Overall, great game!

Tower of TimeWhat a fun little game. Love the fact that the charater is the connector so it can't move when the power is on, which allows for interesting puzzles. I think this game could me developed into something bigger and tell a touching story. :)
