Love the creative approach to the theme. In most entries you reverse the roles with the enemy, but here you are roles reversed with the dev himself.
10/10 idea, great artwork and the ui being a part of the game world is also nice
Had loads of fun playing it, thank you
Play unfinished game

super cute puzzles and the voice acting certainly makes things even better!

le tiny turtleThis is probably my favorite game that I've played so far in this game jam. Creative idea, fun voice acting, nice visuals and great puzzle mechanism. I encountered a small bug which caused the puzzle for the second key to completely freeze. Nevertheless, this is all 5 for me. I will be very surprised if you are not in the top 100.

Escaping BeanThe inclusion for both sprite editor and coding mechanics are really novel and interesting to see. I would love to see you innovate more on the mechanics post-jam! This is such a fun game that really brings lots of interesting gimmicks to the table. The voice acting/dialogue/story are quite fun to have as well, but because of that, it's a bit on the rails and doesn't offer the player to innovate more. Still, you can definitely build more on this idea, Stanley Parable-style.
Overall, the game is a bit too easy, but considering all the things you've added, it's a great package. I will be looking forward to your future works!

GrassMon: Survive the Tamers!Thanks for playing! The Stanley Parable was definitely an inspiration, and if I continued work into a full release I would add some more backstory to the narrator to make things more interesting. A lot of different gamedev related minigames could be added as well (making music for example). Glad you liked the game!
Very fun and smart! I gave this 5's across the board for a job well done and a super impressive jam game! I would honestly love to buy a full version of this on Steam and play a full length story mode.

Mimic's LureThanks a lot! I'm currently busy with turning my game from last year's jam into a full release ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434720/Maces_and_Dices/ ), but after that is done in ~two months I may turn this game into a fully fledged version!
Expanding the game would be a lot of fun, but I'm currently busy on working on a full release of my jam entry last year actually. That game is releasing on steam next month if all goes according to plan! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434720/Maces_and_Dices/
This game is so well made. Like it was done in a professional game style, almost as if this could have been a game that was actually released. The game was short which would be my criticism since there is more that could be done, but it was shortness done right in a way. Like the game felt so well designed that even the shortness didn't feel bad design except perhaps the victory room, but that was both the joke and due to the limit of the jam. Well done. Also, there was one puzzle where he said great use of the timer, and the timer didn't even contribute to the solution.

Platformer but you're the platformI got a runtime error which led to a literal runtime error haha. I wasn't able to redo the script after messing it up so I got softlocked! It's so cute tho and I love the voice acting in it! This is one of, if not the best, games I've seen so far!
Submitted
Conquest Of ShadowsThis definitely has to be one of the best games I've seen so far. It's a really creative idea, the voice acting gives the game a level of charm, and the overall visual presentation looks really polished. Excellent job!
Submitted
Sam'n SlimeThis is the best game I've played so far. The voice acting adds great personality and the puzzles and mechanics are extremely sharp, especially for having been made in 48 hours. I would love to see this turned into a complete game, I could seriously play hours of this
Submitted
Brick StarThis is a super creative game. When I got to the sprite editor making the flowers and enemies, it was really cool to just see them come to life suddenly in the game. Creativity as a mechanic should be used more!
Submitted
Abyss ArchitectLoved it! Probably best game I played so far, I saw this concept before (in other jam) but this game made it perfectly, the voicelines of developer are great, I hope this gets top 20 :D
Submitted
Aggressive Sales TacticsThis game is surprisingly really good I really liked this one and made really well. I enjoy the puzzles although and love the dropping code sfx. Overall great game!
Submitted
Escape and EvadeThis is unbelievably underrated. Probably my favourite game I have played so far. The puzzle sections were really well done and I loved how it let you make your own sprites. I would love to see this turned into a full game, there is so much potential here. I will be very surprised if this does not get featured. Amazing job!
Submitted
Screw This Fish in ParticularThanks a lot! It would be a lot of fun to turn this into a full game, and I have many ideas for it (for example using the sprite editor as a way of drawing platforms aswell, think drawing a staircase and such)
I am however currently focused on turning my entry from last year into a full game, you can check that out on steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434720/Maces_and_Dices/
That was absolutely awesome end definitely best "Now-you-are-game-creator" game that i played! Well done!

NBO - Not BreakOutSo good ! You nailed the voice acting, the visuals fit perfectly and the theme is spot on.
Also omg the drawing feature had me on the floor, it’s so nice to be able to draw your own thing and see it in real time in the game ! The puzzles were perfect too, not super hard but great at selling the idea.
Overall one of the best entries I’ve seen, really hope it gets noticed !

Go Down Go Fast - Pinball Rusho-m-g. The game is so good. How did you manage to do all of this in only 48 hours. Hope it is featured in the game jam recap. It deserves a full release and everything.
Submitted
Domino FactoryI'm so glad you liked it! In total I spent around 28 hours actively working on the game. We'll see if I continue development. I have some ideas of how to expand it, but my focus is currently of doing a full-release of last years jam game. You can wishlist that game on steam! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2434720/Maces_and_Dices/
