Short but sweet. The camera needs some work but the concept is really solid. I liked how your game even had a bit of lore behind it, that's incredible for a game made in just a week.

I really love the concept of the game, it adds a lot to a simple platformer, the art and the sounds and music are really great. i enjoy it a lot!

Short CircuitWow, loved the concept of this one, as well as the characters and music. I definitely found it a bit hard to reprogram my brain away from using standard platformer controls, and then having 4 possible directions to think about in mid air, I wonder if there's a way to simplify or perhaps that stuff could be used later in the game. Overall though this is great stuff :)

Sunday Island ExpressI like the mechanic of the directional socket a lot, it has some great gameplay potential!
I also appreciate the story and conversations, it's a short, sweet and charming adventure.
But here are some things that can be improved:
-Maybe instead of arrow keys, the WASD control can be used. Because I realize Sprocky changes to the + shape whenever jumping or falling, so probably let the player move the socket direction via WASD when airborne, making it more simple to use. While when grounded, user can press S, to interact with objects.
-Also, the "E" button can be used for interact as well, as it seems the more general control for that. It's also easier to press when skipping dialogue.
-The difficulty curve got a bit high at the start, so maybe ease that a bit.
-and lastly, the main dialogue text content can be a brighter color or white, for more readability.
I hope this helps!
So yeah, experience was solid, no bugs whatsoever, great work overall!

XekureatThis is superb! Great concept, art, and game design. Up there with the best.
The socketing system is a little precise and unforgiving, you might try extending the minimum distance required to socket.
Really enjoyed it!
