Gurtle is back! While she had hibernated in her fridge, Gurtle has had a dream. A dream of becoming an indie game dev. THe problem is, she has way too many ideas and those ideas keep her awake at night and even though she's not hibernating right now, she still needs to get her beauty sleep. So she decides to clone herself and let her clone pop those ideas before they reach her. Can you take control of Gurtle's clone and defend her against an ever-increasing flood of ideas?

The intro song was amazing. This game has a ton of charm. The voice acting was great. The implementation of the modifier was great. The gameplay was a great take on a simple idea. Overall, really enjoyed this.

This was an amazing return  of Gurtle! I loved the throwbacks to the first game, and the twists in the opening titles were hilarious! I especially loved the opening song 😅

The  background design of the game was absolutely stunning, and really did a great job at capturing a whole bunch of modifiers!  The VA was beautiful as always, and the art in general was both funny but also visually impressive!

The gameplay itself was fairly addicting, and did a great job at including all suggestions! While it was fairly neat  that the platforms were built into the environment, it did make it slightly unclear sometimes where you could stand, and the density of the environment sometimes made it slightly difficult to traverse. These are very minor things though!

I do wonder whether Gurtle's clone sometimes did more harm than good 😅Most of the times I lost were primarily due to jumping on gurtle myself rather than any ideas reaching her 🤣

Overall I loved this game though! Leaderboard was a great touch and really makes me competitive! Thanks so much for submitting!

I always love seeing callbacks to previous jams, and this time from a previous winner no less!

Much like gurtles first outing, it's very cute and janky, with some absolutely beautiful voice acting! Seriously though sitting through that whole intro was a treat! And the music was very much "so bad its good" with the low quality recorder soundtrack.

I like the TMNT design of Gurtle with the boxer shorts, and it was neat trying to platform around the room without jumping on the sleeping Gurtle.

I will say though it was kinda confusing platforming at first since it wasn't clear what was a solid object or just background. And with the headboard of the bed being a platform I found it hard to hit the lower down bubbles.

And I liked the leaderboard idea, I just barely managed to squeeze into 10th, but I could tell I sucked at the game.

Good work though, I enjoyed it!

I'm still not sure what to make of this one. Like the first game, it's cute, cartoony, and super janky.

There quite a few playability issues. It's hard to tell what you can jump on and what you can't. Having to jump on top of the ideas is super awkward. It's heavily RNG because some approaches are much easier to defend than others. 

I'm just still not sure whether those are actually a problem for a deliberately janky game like this. It definitely cut into the fun a bit, but at the same time, also made it feel a lot more like a so bad it's good game. Once I figured out some of the tricks it became more enjoyable but it still was frustrating at times.

I did snoop around and see if the leaderboard was live, and it, impressively, is! So props for that! I do wish it was viewable from the main menu, though.

Definitely an interesting use of the modifier as well.

The music is HILARIOUS and the leaderboard is a nice touch. Really good entry!

Funny game. I like the leader board idea!
