I loved this game, great story and game-play. I'm a sucker for strategy games and this was a nice and simple strategy game. Would have loved some music and sound effects

Because of one single cactus, villagers have to deal with hundred of vengeful spirits.
Cool gameplay and it goes along very well with the story. :D It just feels empty because no BGM or SFX.
It crashed on the final(?) stage, though. I used Firefox browser in Ubuntu OS.
But, anyway, I enjoyed this game. :D Good job!

Cube Room CurseVery well done! Could easily expand this into a full clicker/strategy game

CURSE & CARRYThat’s nice! The scroll down to read and play “chapters” of the game really got me going.
The gameplay itself was a little off, tho. RTS is a definitive challenge for short game jams.
Overall, congrats for this entry!

cursed sliceNice entry! I was also a bit confused on the scrolling (I was trying to use the mouse wheel and it was painfully slow) but once I got it figured out, it made total sense. Very nifty way to do level progression and tell the story.
Good job!

Disenchant ImpIt's a different spin to the cookie clicker genre. Fits the theme (you gotta be really unlucky to hit a cursed cactus though, XD) and the assets used don't clash with the gameplay, which is nice.
Kinda confused with the menu / missions scrolling, sometimes did the same map a couple of times because I forgot you had to scroll to get to the next level, xD.
All in all fun experience and it's fun to play!

Burger CurseThe first level is repeating over and over, but it's got a smooth UI and I love the font! Could use some sort of audio of course.

Curse SwordsI like it a lot, but unfortunately it crashed after a few minutes. Otherwise great game!

Curse of the Undead (Jam Version)+ great use of assets
+ fun mechanic
+ I enjoyed playing it
- needs to auto-scroll down after level complete, or at least hint to the player
- spelling mistakes
- game crashed in firefox during level 4 :(
- no sounds or music, would have added to the game

NevergreenNice games! Unfortunately, I got an error when finishing the third level.

The four and a half minute curseNice concept!! I really liked how you explored the theme! I will definitely come back to see if you guys continued the game!

cursed sliceI too got stuck on the first level until I read the comments. I really liked the idea, but the game crashed as I was finishing the level with the ghosts. Would have liked to see more! As someone else suggested, I would also like it if when you returned to the story, it auto-scrolled past or you had some feedback to let you know you could now scroll down. I think this is important, as otherwise it looks and feels the exact same as when you could NOT scroll down prior to the level.
I enjoyed it! Congrats on getting it finished and submitted!

HexedGreat game! I love how you used Kenney's assets and it was fun to play. The only thing that could be improved on a bit is the scrolling. The scrolling is very slow and was very tedious to get anywhere. If you could make the scrolling faster that would be awesome!

Cursed HomeI love the presentation and simple gameplay. The scrolling felt a little slow to me. I also crashed after killing the 2nd gravesite
