Looks nice, but has problems in the browser sometimes (when not in fullscreen) since the up and down keys move the page...... otherwise, pretty neat!

Lost in the DarkThis game looks, sounds, and feels absolutely amazing! One of the better spins on the "losing your controls" concept I've seen so far.

The Long NightThis was a blast! The constantly blocked off controls added a real dynamic challenge, and the levels were dynamic fun! The different enemy variations were great, and I had a lot of fun playing it. Great job!

Limo Limbo5 stars all around. I didn't expect to play through the entire game, but the controls are simple and the gameplay is very fun. The art is professionally made and the music sets the tone right. Fantastic job overall, this looks like a winning game.

Coffee Rush HourThe retro feel of this game is so good. The game as a whole is highly polished and it is just insane that it was made only in 48 h. The gameplay is cool, but only when there are the devil heads, that eat your controls the full potential of this game is developed. Even the first levels were fun, but then it is just amazing.

Little Bit OutThis game is too good. The way this adheres to "Out Of Control" is pretty typical for this jam -- losing movement/attack controls -- but it is still easily one of the best executions of that approach that I've seen. The developers took the idea and ran with it by focusing on the creative and interesting directions that a single mechanic could go, and it resonates really well.
Additionally, the music, sound effects, animations, and art are really pleasant and have a strong stylistic theme that simultaneously ties in with the jam theme and establishes the mood. The GUI has a couple of elements that make it a little too spaced out; there's a significant amount of text happening on the side that I am 100% never going to read (in the middle of trying to flying-kick a poltergeist before it eats my controls), and the health bar blends into the periphery a bit.
The controls are extremely refined; I love that the flying kick locks onto the nearest thing so your character has some last-ditch directional control even if the entire D-pad is possessed! I did find myself wanting diagonal controls for projectiles and ended up almost exclusively using the kick instead. Maybe it's possible to shoot diagonally and I just didn't figure it out?

Epimetheus: The Show Must Go OnWonderful, wonderful art and audio. My only critique is that the game only shows the theme when the player is hit, and then it gets dramatically harder for the player. Maybe getting hit causes a spirit ball that controls different parts of the controller at random?
Still a great game though.

FlourishThis is the best looking game I've seen so far and I'd be surprised if I found something that overtakes it. The idea of your controls being your health is also really neat. I wouldn't be surprised to see this as one of the top rated games!

Restless Wing SyndromeMy favourite game in this jam so far!!! Everything from the game design to the setting, the art, the audio and the polish is breathtaking. The game design here is genius and the levels are challenging enough to be deeply entertaining. The idea of sometimes losing your ability permanently caught me offguard a few times. The only thing I have a problem with is how the dash (B) abbility sometimes targets the wrong enemy when I'm surronded, for example if there is a flying mask right next to me and an eyball that is a little bit outside of my range it chooses the eyball. Since I had lost most of my controls at the end seeing the "Level 11" appear sent shivers down my spine. It's a REALLY well made game! Thank you for making a decently challenging game on a jam, I know a lot of people won't finish your game because of that but I think it's definitely worth it as the game is awesome.
