really cute concept and im AMAZED how many levels you got in in time, i also really liked that you twisted the goal after half of the game! i think at some points a bit more feedback on where something will hit would have been nice, but it wasnt really detrimental to the expieriece. i had tons of fun playing it

All about that (tower) baseThe story makes the game entertaining throughout and there were a few levels that I had to think about for a second, nice work.

remroftalPI like the little dialogue and the gameplay was great. I just wish I could turn off the doo doo doos in the background.

Ragdoll PinballVery cute, love the story elements. Some of the puzzles feel a little overdesigned when they are actually kinda simple. Getting the ball stuck inbetween redirectors and then pushing the pins in feels a bit cheesy, maybe make it so redirectors only work one time? Love the twist at the end. Good job on your submission!

Deal With ItNice! I feel the dialogue got kind of repetitive though until the end

Don't Get Stomped By GustavoThis was incredibly charming! There's a lot of tiny details that makes this memorable to me like the funny soundtrack and the voice blips (or whatever they're called). The bowling take was creative and I like how you went the puzzle game route. The game *was* able to run on my mac, but only for three levels so do take my review with a grain of salt.
It seems the bowling direction relies on rng; since it's timed I began to think impulsively of how fast I can get the pins to line up with the line rather than taking my time to think it out. Personally it might be better to have the bowling directions manually set by you so you can create a situation that requires to be thought out more. The hitboxes of the pins also seemed to be narrower than I thought, as there were moments where I'd push a pin onto a tile that the line was on, however the ball misses the pin by a hair.
Obviously this is just me being nitpicky on a jam game, but overall this was a really solid game! Unfortunately I don't own a windows computer so I couldn't play as much as I wanted to. Good luck for the rest of the jam!
