This is a really interesting puzzle game! Simple mechanics, but the puzzles are well made and definitely difficult to figure out. I got stuck more times than I could count haha. Well done!

This is a really interesting game! The controls took me a little bit to learn but once I got the hang of them it was really cool finding different ways to move around and try to precisely angle my character to reach the stars. The music is also neat, and I thought the UI and everything looked quite nice. Good work!

This is a very interesting game! I played through what I assume was the story/tutorial, and the game was still a bit confusing, but the visuals were so impressively polished I didn't mind. The particle and shader effects were just so interesting, not the type of thing you get to see a lot of in shorter game jams, so great work on those. The little world was also so cute! There didn't seem to be a whole lot to do once I got there, but it was fun seeing tiny pixelated people running around on such a pretty isometric world. I think it would be kind of fun if we could drag them around the map or something, idk. Very interesting concept, and great work!

This is such an interesting concept! A nice take on the limitation too. Definitely a tricky game, I was pretty bad at it and kept forgetting to check both directions, it's a simple game loop but done well, good work!

Glad you liked the concept! I agree with the difficulty, it wasn't something I had time to fully address and balance during the jam, but I'm looking into ways I can improve that during the rating period or maybe later. Thanks for playing!

THANK YOU!! :)

Thank you!! I'm not either haha, but I'm glad you gave it a shot anyway. I'm also happy to hear you liked the art style, it was so fun to work on. Thank you for playing!

Thanks for playing!

Thank you! I'm happy to hear it. Thanks for playing!

oh awesome! I'm glad you liked the art style, and I'll have to play yours later. Thanks for playing!

thank you so much! that is very kind, and i will do my best o7. thanks for playing!!

Haha neither was I, and thank you!! Making the little cat character was definitely my favorite of the three. I might have to try making my own game jam music again in the future, it was really fun this time around. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for playing!

Thanks so much for playing!! I totally understand, I'm also pretty bad at rhythm games, I just think I played this one so many times while playtesting I memorized the moves. I thought that touchscreen support was a great idea, so I just added it in a new web build! It wasn't built for mobile so it might be a little small, but anyway thank you for the suggestion and thanks for playing :)

Thank you! And yes, its sort of the idea of A --provides energy to--> B. Funnily enough, I mixed up the direction a couple times during development and had to double check real food chains, which probably should've been enough for me to find a way to clear it up haha, but I didn't end up doing so. If I can find a good way to do so I'll probably change it in the future. Thanks for playing!!

Thank you!! That's understandable, I've gotten that feedback from a couple people now though so it's definitely something I'll consider changing in the future to allow people to play past the time limit or something like that. Thanks for playing!!

Haha thank you, glad you liked them!! Thanks for playing!

Thank you!! Difficulty is definitely tricky to balance with games like this, since everyone plays a little differently. Thanks for playing!

Thank you!! I'm glad you liked it! And that's a great idea, I'll have to consider adding something like that in the future. Thanks for playing!

Who doesn't love a good "number go up" game. I may have had terrible luck with my gambling, but still quite fun! Definitely played this one a few more times than I'd like to admit, just trying out different strategies. The animations are adorable too, and overall this game just feels really solid and polished. Great work!

 
Super adorable, the artstyle works really well! I'm glad the character doesn't seem to take damage because I was terrible at catching the dinos at first haha. Very polished, and a full, great experience from beginning to end. Great work!

Thank you so much!! :D Glad you enjoyed it.

This was a fun experience! Quite a simple game, but effective. I tried really hard the first time and won, so naturally had to go back and see how goofy it let me draw him, which was quite fun. Great job!

This is such a cute game! Simple game loop that is easy to understand, and it does it very well. I did find it a bit difficult to move the dinos around - sometimes i would try to move a dino to a pen with more food, but they'd keep I guess colliding with the other dino and just saying "no" and then dying lol. The days were also super short, which was ok once I had played for a while and got a feel for how much food each dino needed (though it kind of incentivized not buying any more dinos so you could have enough time to keep the current ones alive), plus in the beginning I kept running out of time just reading each dino's description. These are all really minor though, and I thought this was such a fun game! The level of polish is incredible for the time period, and all the sound effects and animations were so effective. Great work, and congrats on a great game!

This is adorable! I made it to day 21 on my second attempt. The voiced sound effects were great, and the game as a whole is super charming. The game loop did get a little bit repetitive after a while, but still very well done!

This is a really cool game! Pretty tricky, especially because my memory is terrible lol, but still really cool! Very clear game concept, and super polished especially for being made in only 3 days. Great work!

This is a neat little game!! Definitely took a few attempts to figure out what the colors meant, and the fact that I'm bad at minesweeper probably didn't help, but I like to think got the hang of it! The art was really neat too. Great work!

Interesting little game! I liked the concept a lot, very creative. I agree with the other comments that it is really difficult; the dino initially always got hungry right when my money hit 20, but after a few times feeding him I just kept running out of money and so could never upgrade the box even once. I even tried letting him get a little upset thinking his anger would go back down once fed but it never seemed to go down. I think this game definitely has a lot of potential though! Good work :)

This is a fun game!! I'll have to come back later to see if I can actually complete it successfully lol, some of the tasks were pretty finicky so I kept running out of time. Maybe if completing tasks gave more time it would be easier? Such a cute idea though, the art is adorable, and I rather liked the sort of frantic gameplay. Great work!

So cute!! I really liked the puzzle aspect, definitely a creative take on the limitation. Sometimes the controls felt a tiny bit slippery, so it took a bit longer to complete, but not a big problem at all. I agree with the other comments that it might've been cool to see the full level before buying moves, maybe by zooming out or being able to move the camera, but still a fun game regardless. Adorable art, great puzzles, good work!

Thanks!! I initially planned on adding a countdown once all objectives have been met to prevent people from doing just that, and I might still in the future, I haven't decided yet. Thanks for playing!

Thank you!! And good catch, I have no idea how I missed that lol, it was an easy fix. Thanks for playing!

Awesome! Can't wait to spend way too much time replaying it

A bizarre, rather surreal experience. The visuals on the water were neat! I really respect just making a game idea for the fun and comedic effect of it. Truly a fascinating game.

This is a very interesting idea! I lost the first few times before I figured out from a comment that you're meant to press "E", so I think a tutorial of some kind would be nice, but other than that a neat idea! Good work.

This is such an interesting idea for a game! Progression was pretty slow, it was faster to just make money by repeatedly opening and closing the create menu, but still really neat! I think it would be cool if all the dinos you drew stayed in the pen together so you could have a ton of goofy looking little dinosaurs together. Good work, and a cool idea!

Thank you!! That is so kind. Thank you for playing!!

This is such a fun game!! I played it for way too long lol once I got the hang of it.

I did notice a few minor issues; sometimes when I picked up a dinosaur and dropped them, it would destroy them without being anywhere near the blender thing. Also, one time I stopped having dinosaurs so I could finish getting through the 100 bones, and for some reason no more guests came no matter how many dinos I had. The archaeology sites also sometimes deleted the bones without giving me any points. But these are all pretty minor, and really having so many guests the game started lagging and letting the t-rexes go wild was more than enough fun to make up for any bugs. Super addictive for sure.

This is really quite cool, very fun and engaging, and it clearly knows what it's trying to be, which is especially impressive with it being made in only 3 days. Great work!!

This is a really interesting idea! I loved the animations, and the art style and color palette were really cool. It might be unfinished, but I think it's great you submitted it anyway, and I think it has a lot of potential! I'm not sure what type of music would fit best, but I can definitely see it working well with sort of that classic 8-bit music style. If you ever decide to update it I'd love to see where it goes :) Great work!!

The doodles are so cute! I saw the cover image and knew I had to see more, and it was definitely worth it. I did get stuck a few times, but that's the nature of puzzle games haha. Very solid game, especially for the time limit. Great job!
