I had a lot of fun figuring out an optimal recruitment path, very well polished game!

Space FlingI had a great time, beat all the levels. I wish there was a little more strategy in which civilians you went for, as I think right now it's more figuring out the optimal path to take-- regardless, it was a lot of fun. Shooting felt satisfying, my only complaint is that the cursor was quite difficult to see. Also, I'm not sure if this is just Itch being weird, but the game wouldn't go into fullscreen.
Great job!
If you get a chance to check out my game, that'd be appreciated! :)

Bee TogetherI don't know if this is different on different operating systems or browsers, but on my computer the mouse cursor on the menu screen was nearly invisible (black on a black background).
Other than that… interesting take on the theme, but maybe not my type of game? Both in terms of theme (I'm not into military stuff) and gameplay (I'm not good at it).

Disconnected SpaceOriginal idea, the whoel recruiting thing! I didn't feel like I actually needed the recruits to beat the baddies though!

Bonds of SteelThis makes me think back to playing games on miniclip many years ago, great job!

Slime TogetherA really interesting and unique take on the theme and good execution! I really enjoyed the mechanics and overall design! The AI could be improved a bit, but nevertheless a great game!

Short Fuselove the idea and overall execution, i would love to see the soundtrack throughout the levels instead of just on the level select and credit screen and maybe some more varied colouration in the allies and enemies as well as varying the types of allies and enemies. but overall this was really fun and i would love to see some more levels

The Red StringNice concept, the graphics are really well done, the guns feel impactful and the recruiting makes the game more interesting than a top down shooter.
I had a bit of trouble distinguishing the enemy from my soldiers which got me killed many times, maybe tweak the colors a bit so they stand out more?
Also, it would be nice to have even more people to recruit because the mayhem it creates when 2 groups clash is really fun.

BlobbyThis game is amazing. Although i would like the AI to be better. They seem to wander aimlessly most of the time. As their commander it would be useful to issue orders to them.

Museum restorerI really like the main mechanic, it's action-oriented but with an estrategic element to it, I love this type of stuff. Very nicely polished too, with fitting visuals and sounds and a good feel to the shooting.
I think this could work as full game with you ever decide to expand it.

Take your brother with youInteresting spin on a top down shooter. It was satisfying to recruit a bunch of people and watch them work! It felt strange that kills were worth more than recruits - it might work better the other way around to motivate the player to engage with the unique new mechanic, but scores don't matter much anyways so that's a really minor thing.
The shooting felt really heavy and good too, that's something that's easy to mess up but it worked great here!

Super Ball & Chain:) Very fun! Smooth gameplay. I felt compelled to keep playing one more level…
Fun graphics, good sounds.
I found that I tended to run straight through a level as fast as possible, in an attempt to reach the enemy before the multiplied too much, so I didn’t really get to appreciate the level design much!

Momma DuckHey, this was actually way better than I expected! AI was probably the most important thing in game, I liked that AI knows how to camp, hide, aim, etc. Time well wasted

Connecting Simulator BThe most funny game I've played in this jam. I spent almost 1 hour for it.
No recruit! I want to kill all enemies myself!
