cute! I liked that the levels got harder and harder and liked that you could change between more than one poggit!

How does your game fit the theme?
Poggits can only take so many directions before they stopp listening to you and become out of your control, this could also be put as literly running out of controls as you can only press each button so many times

Great game, but certain aspects needed tightening up, such as having a little more consistency over the jump arcs and the ability to land on each other's heads. More often than not, I found myself slipping off or having to course correct middair, which used one of my inputs.
If these aspects were tightened up (maybe a system of locking on to each poggit's head?) this could be a really enjoyable puzzle platformer.
Also, I assumed the intention was to force every Poggit to have a unique exit, but in it's current form, all poggits can go through one door. I assume thats a bug, but it would definitely need to be fixed.

Elemental GolfCool idea, I liked it. Only thing is that sometimes the character keeps moving and jumping and sometimes only for as long as you hold the button which can be really anoying.

Orbital MadnessHmm I guess I need a better tutorial then, the the main mechanic of the game is the fact that you can only press the keys a few times before the poggits lock up and just repeat the last thing that you told them to do. that is how it fits the theme "out of control"
you can see how many times you can press each key in the lower left corner of the screen
Nice game!! I really like the background art in particular. Unique concept that resonates with the theme really well, I did get stuck a bit on level 10 but definitly enjoyed it!!

Mimic GardenAppealing and well-polished style and presentation. Unfortunately, I could not overcome my twitchy platformer habits and usually unintentionally wasted all my button presses at any jump, haha. But I really like the concept. Well done!

Understaffed Tank CrewReally nice game! I liked the idea and the aesthetics of the game. I just think that if it was a little more "juicy" to play, it could be better, but I saw that you made the game in half of the time and its incredible! Congratulations!

Plague OverflowIt is a very visually nice game, I couldn't get too far though and I think it may be due to the frame rate that the game is running at on my laptop. Does the game compensate for that with Time.deltaTime and fixedDeltaTime?

Card ControlWow this is a solid game!!! I really enjoy playing it, and even though it's a jam game, I'll be coming back to this one!!!

Space ArcadeGood idea! Very satisfying sound effects. I think music would have kept me a little more engaged. I really enjoyed the poof out animation!

Pogo TravelersI like the puzzle element to it as well and how he kinda just spazzes out when he doesn't have moves left. Really charming little game entry.
