Hello! I'm wondering if the jam runtime is a submission period or a set JAM TIME. I haven't seen the movies yet, but I have a lot of time tomorrow and was wondering if I should start thinking about what to make. Let me know if that's allowed or if I should just wait a day to get working.

super cute! i wish the puzzles went a little deeper though--I felt like it ended before things really got crazy

The art is amazing! The intro animation was so chaotic I lost 3 times there, but persisted on. Eventually I gave up due to lag :( Still, great art and cool game!

I had the saddest run of all time. I was out of props for the final act and lost EVERYONE. The last 10 I lost on the LAST DIALOGUE SPACE. Still though--very cute. I wish it was more clear either what props fit or we had more time to curate a mood of sorts, as I was kind of confused the whole game. Still though--those scenes where they walked across stage sold it for me.

Great graphics! It took me  a while to get it though--still kind of confused about my purpose in the game.

oh yeah playing on trackpad is hell… glad u enjoyed it tho!

thank you so much!! i was planning on adding a possession bomb that lets you mimic the enemies and jump but time was just too stretched… I appreciate ur kindness tho!!!

Interesting—it turned out really nice. I’ll give it a shot next time I make pixel art as I usually leave alpha at 100% :)

Noo!! I beat level three and then my game just froze :(((

I was having a TON of fun, though. With music like that, how could the game be anything but a masterpiece? 

It's really interesting to see someone use the same idea I had--using bombs to jump--in such a different way.

Great job, man! 

And last thing--how did you make your art? It's SO cute.

Holy crap!! I have to sleep but I'll be coming back to this game. The idea is actually SO creative--a truly beautiful design. I was really confused at first and had no idea how to kill the enemies, but once I found that gun ability I was GAMING. Skill and strategy combined--please develop this into a full game. Reminds me of Neon White, a real favorite of mine. I got halfway through level two but I'm going to pick it up and beat it tomorrow. 

Cool game! The art was definitely the best part--I really liked the hand and how it wrapped around the screen. I took to the game pretty quickly and had just gotten my second auto-smasher when I reread the tutorial and saw "don't nudge our products out of existence." I had no coins and was eager to test it out and then I got softlocked :(

Great work though. All I would change is add more to do as the timer ticks down.

This was really cool! I thought level 2 was harder than level 3 lol. I had a great time though--how did you get that shaded/glowing look in Construct? I've worked in the engine before but have never seen this kind of retro simulation-y vibe before. I really liked how unique your idea was and reading the code to figure stuff out was fun. I gave up on death number 300, but great work!

wow!! thank you so much, truly--I really appreciate your kindness. what was the softlock so I can patch it out? 

Super cute!! I loved the cozy vibe and audio. The mouse kept on jumping around for me (there was an error popup when I first opened the game, so maybe that's why?) so I gave up around day 4 but still had a good time.

Quite fun! The polish was great and I LOVED the tutorial guy. I struggled with throwing the bombs though--I felt some delay. Still tho, great job

thanks! I’ll see how it fits the game when I come back to the project :)))

wow, thank you so much! I’ve had morning commitments for the past couple days but I’m hoping to just sleep like a zombie tonight. 

yeah it’s pretty difficult. I tried to avoid a full tutorial, but maybe it was necessary? how do you think I could fix it? give the players more bombs?

thanks!!

wow—that’s really cool. def inspires me to actually learn shader graph 😭😭😭

I’ll try giving it a shot for my next game!!

Stylized art was SUPER awesome. How did you make that background? Is it just a scrolling texture or a shader of sorts? I wish there was some kind of subnautica-esque music but otherwise loved the atmosphere. Great work :)))

Wow! For a first game this is seriously lit. The music was groovy, the graphics were a little Y2K reminiscent and pretty awesome, and the camera work was also awesome. Great job man. One thing--in Unity, set your canvas to Scale With Screen Size and drag the "match" slider to 100% width. Then it'll look the same on all computers (my UI was a little bit off screen). Still though--really nice job. Infinitely better than my first THREE attempts at a game lol

THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!! I was whimpering "no" sitting in the darkness and when I turned on my flashlight "he" MESSED ME UP. One thing tho-- on your itch page, you should click the "add a fullscreen button" toggle though--I could only see about the center 2/3s of the screen at a time because my laptop monitor is pretty tiny. Still though--cool game and standout audio. I won on my second playthrough!

I like the smoothness of the background and graphics--very pleasant to play. Nice work! Even though I'm not big into maths I still got decently far into the game. Also, you should click the "add a fullscreen button" on your itch page--it was kind of tough to play on my small-screened computer.

This was totally awesome!! Glad to see GameMaker getting some representation. I really liked the characters and the game over sound effect. I made it to step 140 and rage quit because that moving spike section was TOUGH. Good work and good interpretation of the theme :))

Wow! Seriously impressed by the visuals. The squishiness is really cute and it played GREAT. It froze often though, which was a bummer.

Awesome!!! You’re a serious gamer then— the coins and skips are pretty tricky. Thanks for the positivity :))))))

thanks so much!!! really sweet of u :)

thanks!! it’s a little tough, but once you get used to it the moment tech becomes pretty crazy lol

thanks! did you reach the end of the game, or did it just randomly stop at some point?

Good work!! I had lots of fun :) I like ur use of the theme. My computer sucks, so it crashed, but I think that's because I had Unity and Rider open in the background w 8 gigs of soldered ram. Congrats on a cool game, even though I felt bad burning so many books.

Super fun!! I beat the game in 45 minutes with 200+ chickens, every upgrade, egg level 23, and a WONDERFUL retirement. Nice work!

Such a cool idea! I had lots of fun. How did you make the art? Also, do you ever plan on adding some kind of score?

Score was 8000! I had fun during the boss fight

BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah man! you wanna collab on this jam or help me out w/another project? my discord user is game_tortoise so friend me and we can chat js lmk on itch ur user so ik its u

I saw that too!! Do you think it's a theme teaser? Like "infection" or smth?

This reminds me SO MUCH of Bartender: The Right Mix. I had a ton of fun playing this and the art is awesome. Your style is really cool. What do you use to make it?

Great!! I made a new server to chat. If you don't mind, send some art of yours over and I'll take a look before committing to a collaboration.  https://discord.gg/VFQuq7Z2

sure! could you do MS-paint style pixel art? where it’s like cartoon art but on a small pixel grid? or only very standard pixel art?
