Delightfully stupid. This could be expanded into a Getting Over It style game. Lots of fun, the physics feel good (though maybe too floaty), art needs work.

This game was the most fun for me. I wish it gets expanded into the future.
Notes:
The gravity seems to be close to zero and floating into the air for expanded periods of time does not feel very good.
The objects feel very heavy and they could use a bit more physics put into them. The balls should not feel like they are made out of concrete for example.

Take the Hit!Really liked the contrasting colored art. Also the chill music was kinda nice for the power-wash like gameplay. The controls felt a little difficult to me. But they were responsive to my inputs. Good job!

ReversedPlatformerA great solution to add a table of records, but I hate you knowing my craving for records, I specifically avoided Getting Over It, but I got caught in your game, had to play, but the game is good)

Gun & MagicFinally made it after 5 minutes. Really enjoyable experience. The only things I had a gripe with is the fact that the plushies push you down as much as the fridges, and that while it was interesting that the object variety was seemingly random, it meant you could get a sea of fridges to fall over you. But still, I would play this game outside of a game jam definitely!

Drifting ApartI really liked this game! I agree with some of the others that it was a bit floaty, and I disliked how much objects pushed you down when they fell on you, but I loved the game as a whole! And that the music and art was made by you is amazing, please give my game a try when you can :)

The Just EnemyThis was fun! I like the seemingly Getting Over It inspired gameplay. It was fun to try to go fast and the leaderboard really incentivizes that. My one issue was that the jump was very floaty and once you got stuck in the air there was no quick way to get back down to the ground again. Good job overall!

Screw This Fish in ParticularWow, cool that you got an actual leaderboard working!
I think the mop physics make it a funny streamer get mad at hard physics type of game which is fine. But the random obstacle spawning make it just a little to cruel for me... I do like the mopping mechanic though. Pretty cool insensitive to stay close to the escalator. Great job :)
