The visuals in this game are so beautiful it's truly incredible. It gives the game a very unique style that I can't help but be truly impressed by. The music also complements it well and gives it this ethereal / dreamy feel that is truly spectacular.

If you wanted to improve, adding checkpoints would be nice. It was also hard to tell where I could and could not walk, especially in the beginning jumping area. Increasing the player speed could also make the game feel a little better.

Overall cool game!

I enjoyed the filter you have on the game, it give it a very unique feeling that I just love. I enjoyed the variety of enemies and how I could tell them apart by color and weapon size. The screen shake is super satisfying as well. I saw you didn't create the music but it does fit perfectly with your game. The gameplay is good, I was able to win as the heavy and the light.

If you wanted to improve, the cursor on the menus isn't lined up to the center dot and instead is near the top, this confused me at first. Some sort of button to instantly start the next wave could be nice too. Some sort of score feature could be cool too, combining it with unlocking different units could give the game a really nice arcade vibe. Some sort of power-up to temporarily turn you into another class could be fun too.

Also, the game counts down as if there's one more wave after you win instead of just ending, not really an issue of any kind but something that could be nice to fix in a post-jam version. Also, enemies could get stuck on corners or between walls as a group and are super easy to kill when that happens.

Also, any reason why mute and unmute ended up being two different buttons?

I liked the mechanic of the game, it has a lot of potential. I saw that you are planning to continue working on this, I with you the best of luck and hope it turns out great!

If you wanted to improve, I think the controls need to be fixed, I was constantly turning the player the wrong direction, making the keys rebind able would be excellent. I also think this could have potential as a mobile game with the simple control scheme of only three inputs. 

So I thought this game was a very cool idea, combing a top-down shooter with a factory building game. I don't think I've ever seen anyone try something like this before. I got to round 9 while I was saving up money to build the pistol parts. 

If you wanted to continue working on it (which I suggest you do), I suggest adding a manual or some sort of way to explain to the player what is required to build what. I put down a drill expecting extra money per round, not fully understanding what was needed to do what. I also put down the rifle stamp expecting to build it with just bolts. I also think building items such as health kits and armor would be nice. On top of that, a greater variety of enemies would help too. There also needs to be some other endgame other then 'survive', I suggest getting enough resources to build a rocket or a teleporter to exit the stage. I know all of that may not have been possible to do during the jam, which is why I suggest you keep working on it. I think you have a really good core of an idea that just needs to be expanded upon a little bit more.  

I did run into  problem where the game displayed all the menus super small on my computer. Also, when walking and placing the mouse bellow the player, the weapon glitches back and forth. Other then that I think the game worked as intended.

Overall fun game, I think you have a solid idea you just need to iterate on a little more.

I liked this game, I enjoyed how the player always rotated to see the boss and how the player health and enemy health were displayed in game as opposed to on a Hud. The game felt intense and had me on the edge of my seat. The boss had a good variety of attacks and was overall really fun.

If you wanted to improve, sound effects and music would be nice. I saw on the game page you put this together in three days, which was super impressive.

Overall, good work!

Interesting game, I was able to find two secret apples but wasn't able to figure out what to do or where to go after the title screen played following the conversation with Kev. I went left like he said and just fell through the world, I never respawned and had to restart. It's an interesting and fun concept.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having a way to skip the dialog with Kev, especially if you have to restart and replay the game.

I thought this game was really cool, this is a twist I haven't seen anyone do yet with the jump being less powerful over time. I enjoyed how some of the obstacles early on took away your ability to jump rather then just killing you, that was super clever and very much helped with the learning curve of the game! Some of the puzzles were really clever too, I liked how in level 15 you forced the player to not have a jump but still move around. I think level 19 was my favorite. 

If you wanted to improve, adding some particle fx could help increase the game feel while still keeping to the simplistic style. Music would be a nice touch too.

Overall, fun game!

I enjoyed the main menu animation. The animation in this game in general was amazing, I especially liked the light going out animation between levels. All of the night time creatures moving around game this game an ethereal mood and was just beautiful to look at.  

I saw you submitted it 3 minutes before the deadline, that's cutting things pretty close!

Some of the puzzles confused me and I wasn't able to get past level 2, but I really enjoyed your game!

Of course!

I enjoyed all of the menu animations, the sliding menus really fit in thematically well with your game. The puzzles are fun and the use of timers with movement really creates some puzzling situations that I very much enjoyed. The puzzles having a score feature adds a lot of re-playability to the game in a very compelling way. The open boards made a ton of room for experimentation that felt very natural and added to the puzzle feeling.

If you wanted to improve. Some form of "perfect score" would be a nice addition to the game, I saw there was a deduction but had no real understanding of how it worked. I also would remove the death counter effect on score, while interesting to know, it's easy to cheat the game simply by dying a few times until you figure it out, then redoing the level to get the better score. 

Overall fun game! I hope you take this idea and expand on it some!

7 minutes before the jam ends, that's cutting it pretty close. 

I enjoyed the premise of your game and the sense of humor it has. The first person shooting feels good and it feels like this game was designed to be speed ran. 

If you wanted to improve, I suggest refining the movement controls some. In my opinion it takes to long to get up to a fast enough speed to give the game that truly fast faced frenzy feeling that I think you were going for. Changing the high score to save the best time rather then the previous time could be nice too. Several of the UI elements, such as on the menu were really small for some reason, specifically the level select stuff.

Overall fun game! Would like to see you continue to work on it some!

I like that you included sound sliders in your game. It shows a lot of polish went into even the smaller things you don't see in most game jams. I enjoyed the menu animation, such as the boxes dropping on the tutorial menu, it's a very nice touch! Everything feels and looks great! The gameplay itself is spectacular, the difficulty curve and the introduction of more colors feels natural and smooth. The physics is fun to play with and is both a benefit (staying organized) and a hazard (stuff falling around as you panic and try to get the boxes together.

I would love to see this game continued in some way, maybe even as a mobile game.

I usually try to give suggestions on improvements but I got nothing, this game is amazing! Definitely my favorite so far!

I am very confused and slightly concerned by what the sound track of this game is but it's oddly fitting for a game about endlessly doing dishes. I had problems trying to get the water on, it only ever worked once for me, I probably was doing something wrong.

Besides all of that, I kinda liked this game. Fun premise and definitely  the most unique game I've seen so far!

Interesting concept, kind reminds me of the sushi scene in Drake and Josh where they're trying to package sushi and get overwhelmed and have to start throwing it on the ceiling not to get caught. I thought the phone calls coming in was good and helped to spice up the gameplay alot.

Interesting little game, I thought it was pretty funny and a unique idea. I can picture a crazed botanist, sleep deprived and cold trying to protect a flower by all means necessary and unnecessary. 

If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding some form of wind mechanic or some way to force the player to move around. I ended up being able to stand still and beat all three levels due to lucky RNG. You could also add in other threats like people trying to walk on the flower or animals trying to eat it.

It's a short game but entertaining for what it is!

I like your dedication to the arcade style with just 5 colors and 5 instruments, really helped to tie the entire game together. I kept replaying trying to discover that one perfect strategy and always had a good laugh when it inevitably backfired and I'd launch off the map into lava. This game was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed it.

The only suggestion I have is to make some of the menu elements bigger, it all felt kinda small for some reason. 

I think this game could work perfectly in a multiplayer game with each player trying to survive as long as possible while bombs explode everywhere.

Overall fun game and thanks for the laughs!

This game was incredibly fun! I replayed it many times and was on the edge of my seat for most of it! The music was great, the action was phenomenal and the changing color pallet was a nice touch. Getting the piercing shot and lining up a line of enemies in slow motion felt truly awesome. I am impressed you made a game like this in just a week. 

If you wanted to improve, finding a different way to display the powerup times could be nice. I was too focused on the player to ever check and see how much time I had left. Maybe do something like the shield with all of them and just have it fade away over time.

Overall fantastic game!

Cool game with a nice message about pollution. Graphics were nice and I enjoyed how the menu zoomed out to show the level instead of a hard swap happening.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest changing the movement system some, it was hard to control the crab, I was able to just hold A or D the entire time without penalty too. I suggest having the crab not use the pinchers while in ghost mode to balance it some.

Overall interesting game!

Overall an amazing game! I thought the mechanic of physically using your health to attack was great. Being able to bounce attacks off of all the walls felt good and the rouge-like style of it all helped tied it together into a truly spectacular game. I would love to see you expand on this some and turn it into a full game! 

Overall super fun game! I like the idea of taking a monster and trying to merge it with others to create a super monster but instead having that completely back fire. The graphics are fun and the story is nice. I also really like that you included an opening cutscene! 

Overall I really loved this game, good work!

Great game! The animations looked really good, I especially liked the pink cape moving and expanding while in the air. I also liked how screen transitions worked as checkpoints, that was a nice touch. The cake slowing down the player was a nice effect and I actually tried something similar in my game with the "Boots of Less-is-more"

The only problem I encountered was the character getting stuck in a block I jumped into from an odd side angle (see screenshot). I was completely stuck and couldn't move on so I had to restart the game, only to come back and realize I was on the last screen when the glitch happened. It gave me a good laugh and I won't hold it against you in any way! Also the development console was always active in my game.

Regardless, fun game and I really enjoyed it!

 I liked the simple mechanics of it being used to facilitate interesting gameplay. The graphics looked nice and when the game got going, was very intense and I was on the edge of my seat.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having  way to change skins from the restart screen, backing out to the main menu to change that one thing takes a moment and could be streamlined. I also think you could speed up the beginning some to get to the real core of the game.

Overall fun game!

Fun concept! I actually went for a similar concept with my game except with mine you shoot and loose health instead of jumping. Overall the game was fun, it felt responsive and I had fun playing it.

If you wanted to improve, more levels could be fun with some more elements added in, I think you have a real solid core to a larger game if you keep developing it, iterating and finding more unique things to play with. Purchase you can spill oil to make a more slippery surface to gain speed or create a path of fire to open something up. The possibilities are endless and I really hope you continue to work on this!

Cool game! I got to round 11. The graphics looked really nice and the screen shake from getting hit felt perfect. I liked the idea of the shield harts that would give you extra protection but keep your power level up. Overall I felt this game was super well designed and I really enjoyed it. I had many of the same ideas with mine, down to the vampire inspired life stealing and getting more powerful the closer you are to death.

Interesting concept, I enjoyed it but I felt like the bolder took to long to be destroyed and lost a few times before I was able to actually stop it. I thought the tutorial was nice and informative and the graphics looked nice. I like the detail of the green goo all over the bolder if you loose the game.

If you wanted to improve on it, some upgrades would be nice depending upon how quickly you get the bolder destroyed. You could turn it into a mobile game too pretty easily with the simplistic controls.

I went for the "health is ammo" as well as the "less health = more damage" idea too with my game! I went with the "kill enemies for more health" route rather then stopping to recharge. I enjoyed how you did it though, slowing down to recharge created a ton of tension and felt really good. The visuals are amazing. It felt really satisfying to line up a shot with multiple enemies or to knock an incoming projectile out of the air.

The only thing I found was that the game would sometimes lag if the pathfinding failed, this could be when I was being chased by the yellow guys and they got stuck outside of a boss gate or if an enemy got stuck in the areas collision.

Overall fun game!

Interesting concept! I liked the idea of it and the interactable main menu was cool. I like how the game encouraged the player to go fast by using less fuel and really was able to keep the player in the optimal game state of going fast.

If you wanted to improve the camera controls could be fixed a lot, I struggled to control it and it led to most of my runs ending.

Interesting idea, I went with the "less health is more speed" idea with my game some too. I think it's well excecated in your game and really adds a sense of urgency when you are at low health.

If you wanted to improve, sound effects and music would be nice. Adjusting the enemy path finding could be good too, I couldn't get very far because a large enemy would block the door and kill me.

Interesting game! I liked the emulator style of it and the graphics in general.

I did run into a problem where every time I started, I would spawn on an enemy and instantly die.

This is a really cool prototype and I'd love to see what you can do with it!

I really liked this game! I think the constant struggle between seeing and speed was a very nice touch. I tried to go a "less-health = more speed" thing but I think you executed it far better then I did by adding in a light mechanic. I think the particle FX on the square was nice and the ability to destroy spikes was a delight.

Overall great game!

This was a cool game, the mechanic was simple and I think would translate really well to a mobile format. I loved the music and it went great with the graphics, which looked spectacular!

If you wanted to improve, I suggest you have the energy not drain unless the player is aiming the ball, it would help give the player more time to think about moves while still keeping the pressure on.

Overall fun game!

Great puzzle game with a nice message attached! I enjoyed the puzzles, everything made sense and I had a good time playing it!

If you wanted to improve, I suggest making it so you don't have to re-click move when ever you want to change screens, it wasn't a huge problem but could have helped streamline things alot.

Overall, excellent game!

Interesting game! I enjoyed the mechanics of wondering around and exploring. I wasn't sure whether the cutscenes I unlocked were endings or not, but I had fun while playing it!

If you wanted to improve, adding some particle fx to the character movement or when picking up coins would help the game to feel really good.

Fun little game! I enjoyed the visuals and the jump mechanic was fun too.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest making the character fall faster, it felt a little slow for a platforming game.

Great game with an amazing premise! Everything felt so good in it, the music, the visuals, the effects, it all felt amazing!

Do you have any plans for it after the jam?

Congrats on your first ever game jam! It feels really good, I didn't have anyone to play with, so I felt like I didn't truly get the full experience, I enjoyed the animation on the bullets and the shooting effects lot.

This is a fun little game! I made it to 967 meters! I like how the fuel indicator is on the car, that was a very nice touch, the art looks good and the game sounds great!

If you wanted to improve, some form of main menu would be nice!

It's very cool that you could get a leaderboard to work in your game! I liked the random level generation, it added a lot of re-playability to the game.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding some form of particle fx to the player and to the exit to help the player see exactly where they need to go.

Overall, fun game!

Interesting game! I really like the premise of it, I haven't really seen a tower defense game in this style before.

If you wanted to improve, the controls could use some tuning, adding wasd to movement controls would be nice, having two functions for space bar made it hard to get the game to respond to what I wanted to do.

It's an interesting little horror game. At the beginning I was able to walk outside of the map and ended up in a blue void. I like the idea of this game and think it could be cool if you expanded on it some more maybe with different levels with other mechanics.

Thanks for the warning about the hiccups you mentioned!

I liked the game, I thought the writing was good and really helped tie together the entire game, it was really funny a times. I got to the point where I had to "unlocketh the Stewarts door" but it wouldn't unlock and I couldn't find a key anywhere.

Overall fun game!

Congrats on your first game jam!

I thought this game was pretty clever, I enjoyed the "more you have the slower you go" take on the theme. The animations looked good and overall the game was fun.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest changing the camera movement, it was hard to control the camera and often times I spent to long trying to fix the camera rather then playing.

Cool entry, check out my game if you get a chance

Fun little fighting game! I enjoyed the retro graphics and sound effects as well as the simplistic display of power vs health. I tried to so something similar in my game with the less health = more damage idea.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest giving some sort of indication of where enemies are going to spawn. I died and lost a run due to an enemy spawning right on top of me.

Overall cool game!

Fun game! I enjoyed the mechanics and simple visuals. I enjoyed the swap between sizes and re-jump mechanic, it took some time to master but felt really good. 

If you wanted to improve, I suggest shortening the respawn timer with the black screen effect, it took just a little to long in my opinion.

Overall, fun game!

Interesting game! I enjoyed the mechanics and the turn based nature of the game. I went for a similar "less health = more hp" route with my game. I'm usually not a big fan of turn based games, but this one was really fun for me. I enjoyed the old school graphics and the simple sound design.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest modifying the random generation of the maps. Level 2 was super long for me, level 3 and 4 then both had me walk into one room off the spawn then into one other room to leave without fighting any enemies. The game also crashed when I reached the shop screen. I also took some cheap hits in doorways when I didn't realize an enemy was coming through, some sort of indicator one is coming or just not having them spawn like that if the room they're coming from is unexplored could help a lot. Those changes plus some music would make a phenomenal game.

Cool game! I liked the mechanics, I thought the 'less party members = more damage' was a nice twist on the 'less health = more damage' route many people, myself included took. The art was fun and very unique. I enjoyed all of the different attack animations on the heroes. 

If you wanted to improve, I suggest fixing the GUI scaling, my screen is large so I was able to see all of the menus, even when they were not suppose to be on screen. I could also see around the fade to white and fade to black boxes. The gameplay also got very repetitive and had no sense of progression. Making waves of enemies with a shop in-between or even a high score would be cool.  Lastly, health bars on the enemies could help to make the gameplay more informed, I could never tell what enemy was lower on health to focus on.

Can't really get anywhere with either version of the game, I'm forgoing rating it as I don't have anything to really base it off of other then running around and endlessly talking with people.

This game is absolutely beautiful in it's visuals, probably one of the prettiest I've seen in the jam. The music fits perfectly and all of the little sound effects, like jumping on platforms is perfect as well. I wish it was longer and had a better conclusion to the story, but for 1 week, that's entirely understandable! I hope you keep working on this and turn it into a full game, I'd happily play it again!

The only improvement I could suggest would be to make the platforming a little more fluid through something like coyote time.

Great game overall!

Interesting game, I like the concept of trading health for better weapons. I also enjoyed the physics of the player character flopping all over the place.

If you wanted to improve, some sort of wave based or score based gameplay would help give the game a lot more to do other then just sit and click. You could do different levels and maybe more or less complex environments. 

I think this a really cool idea, I haven't seen any other game do a similar take to this in the jam. I liked when it had the level mirrored on both the top and bottom of the screen, I felt like that was a really cool effect.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest making the top and bottom levels differ in some way to force the player to have to guide two separate characters through. Forcing the player to make jumps or wait for a platform on only one side could result in some very interesting gameplay.

Fun game! I liked the simplistic visuals and the instant restart upon being caught. The menu animation was super good as well.

I did find a bug where if I slashed an enemy close enough to a wall I could actually fly out of the map and get stuck outside. Other then that this game is incredibly polished and incredibly fun!

Overall amazing game!

This is a really fun little game! I like the way the gameplay mechanics force you to prioritize the red-core enemies over the blue ones. The music also fit perfectly with the visuals.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding shadows to show where the red-code guys are going to land, I got crushed and he just kind of bounced off my head. Make an enemy landing on you an instant kill and that would make it super intense. I also suggest adding a way to shoot upwards, a number of times the blue core ones would be to high for me to hit. Lastly, when the ship is loosing altitude or gaining it, you should have the clouds in the background move up and down to reflect that change. 

Overall great game, with a few small changes, I think this could be amazing!

Already played and rated

Really cool idea! I like the stress the game puts on the player to keep in the air as long as possible. The feeling of flying through the air and slashing up enemies feels great and is a lot of fun!

The only thing is I had a hard time telling where enemies were in relation to the player and had to entirely rely on the indicator to figure out what was close.

Overall super fun game!

Visuals on this game were really amazing and I thought the concept was super original as well. I felt like the music and enemy design was super good too.

The only improvement I can suggest is some sort of damage indicator on the enemies, I had no clue if I was one shot or twenty shots from taking them down.

My computer keeps freaking out and removing the game from my computer, I will unfortunately not be able to play or rate this one. Sorry.

This game is beautiful! I love the simplistic visuals and the idea of bringing light to a dark place, the red rain effect was also super cool. The fact this only has two, well, now three ratings is a tragedy. I can tell a lot of work went into this and I truly hope you continue this in some way, or expand on it some. 

I think it would have done better if it was a webGL build instead of a downloadable game. I think another title could have helped too, R.E.D. doesn't convey enough to make people interested in playing.

I did encounter a few problems, I hit the first red portal a few times, figured I couldn't do anything to it then kept running past and later had to restart because I couldn't light up the next area properly. I also fell out of the 'Don't' room and got stuck.

Overall this is an incredible game and I love what you put together, I just wish more people got to experience it! 

Interesting idea, I like how much mileage you got out of so few actual level designs. 

If you wanted to improve, I suggest taking away control when the character dies, a number of times I died, was able to reach the end and glitch myself to the next level. I think you also need to explain some of the mechanics more then just the level title. On a number of them I was very confused what to do or what I could do.

Overall an interesting concept.

This game is super fun and feels like a true arcade game. I like the idea of the virus multiplying and raging when there is only a few of them left. Everything felt really good, I also liked the weapon swapping mechanic, this game overall feels very polished and I really enjoyed it.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having the score do something like unlocking the other weapons for the rotation, that would give the player a sense of forward progressing and a reason other then getting a high score to keep playing.

Overall super fun game!

The graphics are really beautiful! I loved your use of lighting and the contrast between the pixelated characters and the background. It all looked super good.

If you wanted to improve, the UI all came off really small on my screen, I suggest adding some form of UI scaling to the game. 

Saw that was your first game jam, good job! I really liked the animation on the bees behind the honey and how you had one show up and wait a moment before chasing after the player. The music was really nice too.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest on having a high-score screen instead of just restarting the game, I know I got more then 34 but don't know what my actual final score was. I also suggest adding in some additional enemy types to help switch up the gameplay some more.

Overall, fun little arcade game! 

Interesting concept for a game! I liked the gameshow vibe and the overall feel of the game.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest showing images of the items your looking for either at the beginning before the level or by hovering over the words. I also suggest giving each object a rotation to jump to when picked up, I had a lot of trouble finding the knife and even picked it up before but didn't recognize it as it wasn't on the small edge. Lastly, I suggest playing into the game show theme more and making up some prize for the player based upon how far they got instead of just going to an end menu. You could even make it a little system where you keep playing the game show trying to get objects or skins for your character.

Overall neat concept!

Fun game! It was like a bullet-heal but instead of dodging bullets you were dodging food. I really enjoyed the concept. I especially liked how the character's sprite changed during runtime to reflect the health level, that was a nice touch.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest having the final score on the end screen, I have no idea what I finished with score wise. I would also suggest you show where people are going to spawn, most health I lost because someone spawned right on top of me. Lastly, a little more animation on the character could have helped. If you didn't want to make any more sprites, you could accomplish this by just rotating the sprite back and forth and spawn smoke particles on the feet while they move. That's the style I went with in my game and I think it worked well.

Overall fun game, it gave me some good laughs!

I like your game! I went for the 'shoot and you loose health mechanic ' too. I enjoyed the screen shake and the quick flash of particles when a triangle was destroyed. I also appreciate the controls on the back of the tutorial page, a lot of the 50+ games I've rated don't even have that. I thought the game played well and was fun.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest making the power shot go through enemies, I think that would help it feel even more satisfying and encourage the player to line up cook collateral kills. I also think the triangles that shoot should have some form of indicator that they are going to shoot to make it easier to dodge.

Overall a really fun experience!

Interesting game! I enjoyed the story and the feeling of progression throughout the game. I like how you reused the boss as an enemy later in the game as well as had different types of projectiles. I was a little confused by what the graphics meant but I enjoyed it overall.

If you wanted to improve, I suggest optimizing the game for speed running by putting the enemies on a timer of when to shoot and adding some sort of high score based on time for the main menu.

Overall, fun game!
