Was a fun game and I enjoyed the Zany voices and sound effects. Had some cool juicey dynamic effects which really amped up the visual appeal.

Dungeon pulseLots of 5 stars for me! It has a really lovely audio scape. Playful but a little creepy. I liked that the audio cues weren't 100% what you'd expect (at least not for me) to define "good aliens" vs "bad aliens", and the little sound effect WHOOooooooo at the beginning of the level was spot on. The music felt on brand (like sorta retro?) but not typical. ... for some reason it reminded me of some old animations I watched on youtube for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and I dunno I just found myself with a smile on my face. Also nice font (hahahahaha). If I had to provide a critique, I'd say it felt a little frantic, though I know that was what you were going for. The movement of the avatar felt a little too "floaty" ... and I'm not sure the movement is necessary to the game, since you can shoot in any direction with your mouse. It might be interesting to try a button for shooting and reserve the mouse just for letting aliens "through" ... I struggled remembering the correct mouse button, and it might have been easier for my brain clicking space to shoot exclusively, or something. But overall a very solid entry!

Cat Burglar!Fun game! Good polish in all departments, with a simple but effective game mechanic. I think it could use another layer of gameplay if you have the time to add to it, something like needing to move not just shoot, but as is it's still great!

Void SynthInteresting concep. You turned the category "Were the audio cues clear to understand" on its head :) I like it

Orca AttackI'm slow so it took a second go to figure out how to play, but I got amazing on my second try. The audio queues were great. Fun game.

Escape From CrunkleReally engaging gameplay after understanding how to sort the monsters (I got the cringe rating at first try, then amazing++ at the second lol). All visuals are very polished and the audio cues are essential and pretty clear to understand. Great entry!

Hercules Hears HazardsI liked this one a lot! The variety of sounds was really well done. There was enough variety to have to really pay attention but not so much that it was confusing. Great job!

Mr. Monocle's Maniacal MayhemThe game looks super eye-catching but is really confusing. What I got from it is that you have to listen to the aliens make their sound, and then decide whether it's good or bad? I might be missing something, but a couple quick fixed before the jam would be:
1. I struggle to figure out which alien made which sound on certain occasions. Possibly just limit the amount of aliens that can spawn at similar times and/or play a quick animation when they do.
2. I can't differentiate between 'good' and 'bad' sounds. I may be missing something ovious though - but most of them seem ambiguous. Replacing with fewer more generic 'good' and 'bad' representing sounds would maybe be better, and also since the sounds are kind of annoying.
Just a couple tips before the submission period ends, and during my confusion I still managed to have some fun and love the art direction (:
