The splat that gets left behind when you die amuses me to no end.

The Beat'en PathHaving a character creation in a jam game is very impressive! The game itself is simple and it feels very polished. There is some risk reward mechanic with scaling which i enjoyed. Only thing which bothered me is the small map. I got caught by a sawblade very easily after collecting 4 pearls, this fells a bit frustrating, because sometimes i have no way to avoid it. Despite that i think you did an amazing job. Keep it up!

XalathorVery impressive game! It manages to be a very simple concept that is fun and engaging, and the polish puts it over the top.

Frontline FactoryReally nice game! You just need to watch out for the deadly middle spawn blades.
Overall, a great game.

Fix The ScaleVery fun and good looking game to play repeatedly. One problem I found was that sometimes I would return the pearls and die at the same time if there was a saw in the middle and if that happened you would only get some of the points added from returning them, otherwise I really enjoyed the game!

Dr Pew Pew's Mega-Mini BoogalooHaving character customisation, a leaderboard, AND an interactive tutorial on a jam game is wild. Fun game that really evokes that "just one more try" feeling although I personally wished the character was just a little less slippery. But overall, really awesome game!

Scalar SnakeSUPER impressive work here! The character creator and vfx was a very surprising amount of polish, and then there's a functioning online leader-board on top of that!
Mechanically I really like the game as well, balancing the risk reward of a larger body and more saws with being significantly quicker at building score is a great dynamic. The saws are sometimes a bit tricky to see coming as they're spawning in but I'll chalk that up to a skill issue on my part aha.
Great job to the whole team, fantastic entry!

Llama BoxThis is a super cute game!! Definitely my favorite part is customizing my little blob guy. The very brief tutorial is nice. I didn't know you were able to grab multiple orbs until a bit later on but I actually really like that mechanic. It's risk reward and it adds that right amount of depth an arcade game needs. Good entry!!

IMAGIX | GMTK 2024Fun little game! I'm impressed that you've made character customization! The game is simple, but hard to master due to speed and inertia of the character. I found that you can go through the saw before it finishes its spawning animation if you are fast enough, which was a bit unexpected. However, the best score I managed to achieve is only 2500 T_T
