An interesting puzzle game, takes some time to figure out but it has a somewhat clever design. I appreciate the effort and wish you good luck on your future projects

Ruins of the DeepGreat work, really liked how you could use the different skills to solve puzzles.

Biscuit RescueI do like the game. I didnt really understood the combo mechanix tho. maybe add a tutorial for that. I wish you implemented an Player animation, would have elevated the experience alot. but overall for a week great work. I like the music too. It fits the game very well.

Urchin`s EscapeVery interesting game, the music is very good and mesmerizing, I like how you can try all the combinations to solve the puzzles. The only thing that is a bit annoying is the number of enemies or the respawn cooldown, one of those variables should be nerfed in my opinion especially in level 2. However it is pretty good.

Seas Never ForgetNot bad idea. But not immediately there is an understanding of what needs to be done. But work is good

Souls Binary AbyssThis is a very hard game to understand, but when you get the concept, it's pretty fun! Graphics wise it's a bit confusionary and could still be improved in my opinion, but its mechanics are fascinating: the "rune combos" are surely a neat concept for a game! Tho, those could use some better implementation as the concept is still a bit rough (as well as a more comprehensive tutorial on how to use them), I think maybe having more visual representations on what runes are effective against what enemies, more rune-based puzzles and maybe even some bosses that use the rune combo mechanic would be a step in the right direction. Ad for the theme, it's just the setting which I really wanted to be more explored: maybe descending deeper the enemies will be a lot more eldritch, and the setting darker? As of now, I couldn't really see the theme implemented in game, other than visual features. I think this game has a lot of originality for a game done in 7 days, and if used well, it could evolve in a very interesting way. So good job on that! :D

The GorgeLiked the music and background! I don't wanna repeat the other comments too much but the game was indeed not that intuitive to grasp.

Crystal CavernsI agree with others saying that the game is just a tad too complex for it's own good, but I'll add on by saying that I think that for me the UI was the biggest issue. The skill bars being transparent made it hard to know what the level of my skills were at a glance, and it seemed like there really wasn't any point to using different skills in combat as they all seemed to kill at the same rate. Still, I loved the art, the music was great, everything had sound, and the controls felt nice and solid, so still a great game jam game submission! A rate and review in return would be appreciated!

Search for the Great StaghornA cool game! Though, it's kind of a bit hard to understand the entire gameplay mechanics so a tutorial might be necessary. Great job on this!
