the last stage was too hard but the game was good

What an excellent submission! Loved the concept, style, and puzzles/execution. The only thing I personally might have changed would be making a new key bind to stop moving boxes, so you don't accidentally start moving a new box when you want to drop the one you're currently moving. I could definitely see this getting expanded on!

Awesome game!! I really enjoyed playing through all the levels. The art and music were so spot on for capturing that atmosphere. All the puzzles/levels were really fun. I would love to provide some critique to help you but I'm having a hard time pointing out something that really could use some improvement. You really nailed it, congrats!. Keep up the great work!!

Don't Invade Our Space!

End of game. :(

I can not express how much I loved this, this was a really good spin on a sheep hoarding concept.

I would love to see a full game made like this.
Better than any MGS game I've ever played.

I like this one! The game feels like a stealth escort puzzle thing that you need to assist out moths to the outside world while not telling the world you are a sexy hot demon that radiates too much hotness that it can kill you.

Jokes aside, this was fun experience! Didn’t beat the final one, but I’ve seen a lot of brave people clear it despite it being given as a joke

The Misguided Hero

Josh MoodySubmitted297 days ago

This is my favorite game from the jam so far! The last level was wild lol. I think it's interesting that we had really similar core ideas, but we took the gameplay in very different directions. This was awesome, well done!

Mirrored Monster Mansion

Very interesting idea, it feels like a stealth game but I'm the monster. The artstyle is also very good, the game is overall very good. Congratulations!

Devs vs Dummies

Really creative puzzle/stealth game, and I think it would be better if you just put an introduction level without the doors, just a trashcan and an exit area, to make things clear, but nonethelss a very fun game xD

Space Bandit: Asteroids Strike Back

The initial balancing is a little unfair, but once you understand how it works it immediately became an awesome puzzle game! Nice use of the theme tho!

[MINIGAME] Numb - Dig your own grave

DeeperbeigeSubmitted298 days ago

I enjoyed that quite a lot! At first I was a bit like "isn't this just Commandos but with a monster". Then it dawned on me that while in Commandos getting seen is probably a game over, this game differs in that you're not actively hunting the NPCs, you're hearding them to safety. That's a proper mechanical difference.

I was never quite sure how the lights worked. I think they behave like this: If an NPC steps into the light's illuminated area, it attracts them to huddle by it. Thing is, I'd have expected them to trigger if any illuminated area is within the vision cone of an NPC.

The random motion of the NPC makes it hard to dodge past them in level 5. If they were a little more predictable it might be a little better. The levels are very short though, so failure isn't as painful as it could be. I didn't figure that one out. I think you're meant to scare the two NPCs into the hall and steal the box, but on the occasions I managed to do that and get back to safety with it I ended up getting caught trying to figure out how it was useful. I noticed that it blocks the light, but didn't see how that was helpful.

Beautiful presentation. My only real nit to pick is that the fullscreen button doesn't actually make the game bigger. It sits in the same sized window, just at the top of a black screen. It's more like a "remove distractions" button. On my main 32 inch monitor, it's a bit too small for my old-man eyes to see clearly.

Well done, incredible to get this done in just 48 hours!

Good puzzle game. I like the presentation and the game mechanics. The first two levels I had a hard time understanding all the game mechanics, but then it was fun to solve the puzzles.

I love the artwork in this game! Great work :) What did you use to get that effect?

LeroymiloSubmitted298 days ago

This game's vibe is on point! The interpretation of the theme is neat and the gameplay is well made. My only complaint would be that the last level felt more tedious than puzzly but I understand that level design is very hard, especially for a puzzle game.

I liked this puzzle game!

Neat idea with completely reversing the role of the monster in every single way!

And the art is nice! Overall, a really solid game!
