Love how much you were able to do with only black, white, red. Nice use of a simple art style. It is a good game mechanic and I enjoyed playing.

Dongle HellA unique and a very interesting concept!
The presentation of this game is one of the best I have ever seen in the jam, including the art, sound design, particles and other stuff. Slashing those targets was really satisfying
My only suggestion is to add a downside or a limit to teleporting to the sword, otherwise the player could abuse that ability and literally fly through the level, making level design in later stages harder or the game in general becoming too easy. You could make it so the sword can only be teleported to if it is stuck into the ground, or you could add a cooldown for the teleport ability.
Overall an amazing entry!

Shadow TwinGotta say, the final level was pretty tough. Had to use all my concentration to not be overwhelmed. Fun concept, good execution and lovely silhouette presentation!

Chainball!Overall great game, but i struggle to see where i am aiming because the cursor kind of blended with the background. Would suggest adding a fairly thick outline to the cursor to improve visibility.

The Cursed WheepVery cool art style and great concept. Simple yet effective and great controls too.

Strapped Young LadsA solid entry. At first I disliked the noisy black pattern in the bottom of the levels, since it made it really hard to spot my character once he fell down. With my second playthrough however, it gave me more a sort of "dread" of falling down, which seemed fitting.
The crispy audio and especially the big red square wave upon completion was by far my favourite parts :)

there.are.diceClean art style. Sword joined together with player serves as both movement and weapon, fun mechanic

Earth's Last DefenseAmazing art!, I love the stark colors. The movement was fun, tho maybe a little chaotic at times.
