That was neat! Rough, but neat. A creepy little sci-fi platformer with a cool premise!
The posterizing effect is impressive, but it makes the world quite sickening in motion.
For some reason, it seems that I could only double jump on every other jump, instead of every time.
All-in-all, good work! Congratulations on the submission!
What an awesome little game! A competent use of the theme, with stylish art and triumphant music. The final boss is especially charming!
Enemy bullets were hard to track sometimes. I think they could have stronger outlines.
The audio is mixed a little loud; it regularly clips above -0 dB in the later music sections.
Fantastic! Great work!
What a wonderful little puzzle of luck! The atmosphere is immaculate, and the mechanics click together nicely. I was thoroughly engaged!
I think it could've done with a couple of smaller board choices, to help ease players into the logic of filling the board correctly. A couple of outright tips might also be warranted (like the fact that colors can never exist in a 2x2 square, or that directing dashes and solids into the same square is an instant lockout).
Fantastic! Great work!
[EDIT 2025-10-06]: Struck out incorrect information. Colors can exist in squares and rectangles if all tiles connect to each other with lines.
That was fun! A bit visually disjointed in places, but overall competently implemented with an intriguing premise and charming art. I love the mushroom fellows!
The camera isn't aligned with the pixel grid, which means the character appears to shake when the camera moves.
All-in-all, good work! Congratulations on the submission!
I enjoyed myself a lot! It's janky, but very competent, with a lot of good level design instincts and a charming adventurous spirit. It reminds me of old Flash platformers, in a good way!
I think it would have been wiser to not include the darkness and CRT filters. Also, the elevator sprite is both off-color and has a lot of noise in it, for some reason. If you plan to participate in color-limited game jams in the future, it would also be good to learn how to render single-color bitmap text, since the text contains many different colors (especially with anti-aliasing) that are off-palette.
This might be an inexplicable error on my end, but the audio seems to be mixed quite loudly; the audio regularly clips above -0 dB. Also, holding the continue button on the elevator screen causes the sound to stack on itself, becoming very loud.
I'm going to say something that will probably baffle you; it baffled me when I first figured it out. The "music streaming specific" events in GDevelop play the music using streaming behavior. As in, like a literal streaming service, which means I can pause the music with my headphone music controls, a behavior you probably don't intend to be possible. I'm not sure why it's set up like that, but it's why I just play music using the sound events and then make sure to unload music as needed.
All-in-all, great work! Congratulations on the submission!
This feels like one of those bootleg Game Boy games, and I love it! The art and programming is exceptionally competent, the musical covers evoke the originals without being overbearing, and the mishmash of cultural iconography is cerebral and surreal. Very janky and very fun!
The art is both well-made and quite inconsistent. While it's a neutral stylistic choice in menus and cutscenes, the constant mix of drawn toon-style art and high-fidelity posterized renders can make it difficult to read obstacles against the background in levels.
This is one of the most technically proficient GB ROMs in the jam. Parallax scrolling, animated cutscenes, and smooth mechanics! The choice to run on GBC while sticking to the graphical jam limitations was a wise choice; it runs as smooth as butter, which helps make the difficulty fairer.
Great work! Congratulations on the submission!
I was pleasantly surprised that the boss turned out to be the final goal. When the sacrifice mechanic was revealed, I thought I was going to have to exile—er, sacrifice the entire enemy deck!
What an exceptionally charming little game! The art is adorable, and the mechanics are simple and addictive without being overbearing. Both decks being bespoke opposing creatures was a nice touch I wasn't expecting!
While there could be potential nitpicks on the simplicity of the difficulty curve later on, I think erring on the side of easy was probably the right choice for this concept. It was definitely fun being able to pull potentially endless dragons for 5 cents a pop!
Fantastic! Great work!
That was cool! The mechanics are simple, fun, and addictive. I like the grimly fatalistic music track!
The sound effects stacking on top of each other can get quite loud; it regularly clips the audio above -0 dB. Perhaps large groups of activations could be represented by a single, more weighty sound effect?
Fantastic! Great work!
That was cute! The mechanics are interesting, the level design is competent, and the character art is charming. Unfortunately, I got stuck and had to reset quite a few times; once when I got pushed into the ground by a pot, once when I jumped and couldn't land again (even while touching the ground), and once when I couldn't push a potted plant past an opening.
The audio is imbalanced; the sound effects are a bit loud compared to the music.
Objects, the player, and the camera are not aligned with the pixel grid.
All-in-all, good work! Congratulations on the submission!
Combining with enemies to make seven? That's cool! I had a similar idea when I made a dice-themed game for a jam. This was a neat entry with charming art!
Unfortunately, the platforming was quite unpleasant: both slippery and heavy, and made much, much worse by the consistent slowdown. With how much lag there is, and with how big the character sprite is, I think there should have been at least a frame or two of coyote time.
Considering how difficult the levels are, I'm not sure why it uses a three-lives system. It could have simply subtracted a large amount of score upon death.
All-in-all, good work! Congratulations on the submission!
What a gorgeous little game! The art is exceedingly charming, and the mixture of top-down and platforming is fun. The world is flush with character and detail, and it was nice being able to move around it. I know it's probably not possible to get the key, but I still tried regardless.
For some reason, this menu is a different set of colors from the rest of the game.
Good work! Congratulations on the submission!
That was cool! The mechanics are fun, the art is charming, and the tone is at a nice low level of cynical detachment; I laughed quite a lot while playing! I particularly liked the reserved use of cursing, the sometimes flipped genders on the stock gambler sprites, and the pure consistency of The Man encouraging peoples' worst habits.
The coin that gives you extra health also seems to heal you to full health if you put off and on again.
Several objects, including the camera, don't align with the pixel grid.
All-in-all, fantastic! Great work!
