This game looks pretty nice, and overall plays well. It sorely needed a bit more variety in order to not feel stale; and I wish that maybe it was a bit more clear what was going on when first starting; but overall it was a fun gameplay loop.
My biggest complaint would honestly be the invisible barrier that was at least at the bottom, and possibly top(?) of the map. I found myself thinking that I could run away more, only to get trapped, multiple times.

It Does Not Belong in a MuseumThanks for playing and your feedback. All of your feedbacks falls down to the situation where we ran out of time and had to do quickly. I noticed the hidden walls and got myself killed 5 minutes prior to the deadline :D I also agree on the variety part, we wanted to implement some interesting power up mechanics where the enemy befriending becomes more versatile, such as pushing/pulling other enemies when an enemy is befriended or converted enemies also convert other enemies etc. Well, for now; looking for the next game jam to be more organized :)
Fun game! Great idea that matches with the theme of the jam, well done!

Ale & AdventuresLooks good! Could have used 1 or 2 more enemy types add variety but I had 10 levels worth of fun

Dead of the House for GMTK GameJamSimple but fun. Made it to level five! The upgrade system was a nice touch (though it referenced a charm ability, not sure what that was).

Game Dev Saga Re:BirthI really enjoyed playing this, controls were very responsive and game was well balanced. I really really liked the level up system, pausing and letting me choose was very fun. Visually looks great, gameplay was great, one of my favorites. I wish there was a hiscore so I could compete with others

Be Kind RewindGreat take on the "shoot em up" but inversed, good job! love the graphics :)

The Good OverlordI like the concept of "recruiting" enemies to fight for you it's a solid use of the theme. I think the game would be more enjoyable with more satisfying attacks, adding some screen shake and particles can do wonders for how a game feels. Keep up the good work!

Deep WatersVery nice! It plays and looks very good. The idea of healing instead of hurting is a cool way to swap roles too but it doesn't really change the gameplay much in this case.

Jump On MeNice game with beautiful artwork! I love this genre and I think you did an impressive job!

Space SwappersCool game! Very nice visuals, and good use of the theme, good job!

Is this easy mode?Interesting concept and fun game! Would be interesting to see some more mechanics/variety rather than just upgrades, maybe some abilities? Great visuals and overall a fun game, good job.

Squared AwayAmazing graphics and visuals! The gameplay was fun too! I wish instead of the enemies getting stronger over time they would be replaced with stronger enemies over time because trying to catch up with the enemies getting stronger with upgrades doesn't feel that satisfying. I REALLY want to see a full version of this!
Submitted
Anti-LifeNice graphics! The concept would really benefit from more enemy types with different post death effects and synergy.

Hero Havoc: Dungeon Pest ManagementWow, i'm very impressed and i love the idea of them fighting with me after their death

Time's EndThe visuals are pretty good! although I wasn't very good at the game...
