This is our third LOWREZJAM working together and they are always a blast!
Was the resolution a challenge?
I LOVE the resolution of this jam, but the main hardships with this rez is handling the texts and HUD. I love making HUDs. Keeping the core gameplay simple means a simple interface and an easier experience.
What did you learn?
Each year I try to make something new. This jam helps me become better at keeping a project within scope and perspective. As well as reminding us how sometimes the smallest issues can take up most of our time.

Very economical and effective use of the space. The animations look great, the helicopter being downed, explosions and moving environment are particularly impressive. The gameplay is simple but fun. There were some issues with the reload button not picking up at times. The tank's rocket was the only attack that couldn't be predicted but everything else worked well.

Towers of Survival (PICO-8)This game is pretty cool. and the graphics are really nice! I wish there was more time to play with the positioning system.

Xicarus's Xtreme XventureWow! I really dig the graphical style and the “attitude” of your game! And you even made cutscenes and everything! The pacing of the gameplay is great too! I did think the difficulty jump from level 1 to 2 was perhaps a bit steep. All in all, really well put together. Great submission!

AshScendThat's a very stylish one! Sounds are incredible too, love it. Good job!
But I wish i have some keyboard shortcut to fire (or i have not found instruction with it)

Hilltop RaiderI really like it! Very good job! All aspects are superb: graphics, music and sfx and gameplay. With a few elements you made a very good game. Congrats!

Sliding Puzzle HeroGood game, combat felt good and rewarding my only complaint is levels are a bit too long and it gets too repetitive quickly. Adding some random missile pickups could have helped a bit.

Sand Bladedang...
that ending cutscene
appreciated the last third, good way to end the game
animations are great, lazertanks don't have enough of a tell on their blast.

Point of SailI'm glad you felt the ending like that. I thought it would be a good idea to send it out in a fun way instead of just a third, slightly harder level. And yeah, I hear ya about the tanks. Their attack does become predictable though. They unload their machine gun, then follow with an audible cock and then a cannon blast every time. But don't worry, they wasted me countless times while playtesting that level lol
