Loved the narration, immaculate humerous walking simulator vibes a la Stanley Parable. The whole game feels like an allegory for coming up with a game idea for a game jam, haha. Overall I enjoyed it.

I did get confused at both of the first two levels though: I had to read the description to understand you need to go back to proceed at the first level, and I walked straight into the scoring area for the 2nd level (but refreshes so I can attempt the puzzle).

One of the coolest mechanics I've seen for a 2d grid based puzzle game. The paint can fuses you draw on the map lends itself to a lot of cool puzzles. The level design is on point and gradually gets you used to the mechanics and introduces new ideas. 

The only interaction with the mechanics that I didn't like and felt unintuitive is sliding over a fuse that already went out cancels the explosion.

Oh, we didn't compose the music. But thank you for your kind words!

Fun mix of minesweeper and murder mystery. I enjoyed it and played several rounds.
In typical minesweeper fashion, I had one run that was a 50/50 (The Countess: said The Maid is lying).

That was bloody difficult! Even the first level I found challenging since I wasn't used to the mechanics. But I enjoy this type of game and it was a good challenge.

If you decide to make updates some nice quality of life would be being able to do a select box and drag multiple instructions at once, delete them etc. A clear all instructions button would also be nice.

This game says a lot about society.

Fun take on the theme. That stick animation was smooth, brings some nostalgia from old flash games.

Getting singleplayer Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes vibes.

Full of charm, the narration was great. Easy 5 stars on narrative.

Very cute art, and fun idea to play with. Could use some more quality of life UI, like some indication of popcorn going stale and getting a rating from each customer.

Skillfully made card game system. Game looks good and it the game feel of interacting with the cards is on point.  Playing a match felt a bit lackluster, because you end up with a lot of dud cards and rarely draw damaging cards, but I can see the potential if I was able to build my deck.

This type of game is up my alley, so I played it to the end. It was good fun, but I do have some critique. 

I wish I could see the $SENSOR the way I see other registers. I basically didn't need to use the registers: the reason to use them is loops, but they are more effort to write in assembly than writing move the amount of times you need, and since the robot waits on a non-move command it's faster to do it that way too. If anything, I wish I could just write "move 5" and be done with it. The levels did not actually require behaviour that was that complex.

Anyway, overall you made a great programming game. Reminds me of messing around with turtles in modded Minecraft :)

Simple game, easy to play and get into. Lots of randomness, as people have already mentioned. Level 3 especially, you can just roll a very simple layout with the entries and exits super close.

The game actually uses a shuffled bag of ingredients, similar to how tetris shuffles pieces so you don't get the same piece too many times in a row. But you're right on the money, I do need to rig the ingredients more in your favor so you don't fail due to a draught of the ingredient you need. There's 2 sets of ingredients in the bag, so maybe with a single set it would be more reliable?

Controls felt great to use. Racing right to the limit of not wiping out and trying to carry speed through corners feels super good. I'm impressed how such simple controls feel like a proper racing game, the mouse works really well here, letting you make fine adjustments.

A fun and absolutely adorable to make a music game using cats. I found the UI not immediately intuitive and had to read the game description to figure out, and not being musically inclined, I struggled play it very well.

The artstyle is super cute, and so is the concept, big shame about the bugs. My piece of critique is that I'm not sure what direction the game is trying to take. On the one hand, failing basic tasks signals depression, but then the artstyle and music are bright and cheerful. Which one was the intent?

Thanks for the elaborate feedback. It's much appreciated. I personally disagree about not making the game a roguelike, the abilities feel powerful and go hand in hand with the genre. I will concede that the overall difficulty ended up being too harsh for a jam game, while the first couple levels are too easy, so the balance is off (hard to judge for a hastily made jam game). I'm not saying roguelike is the only way to go, the game concept is flexible and could be taken a lot of different directions, but it's the direction I stand by.

Great platforming controls, with a clever bouncing mechanic. Perhaps some levels required a bit too much precision, but overall very enjoyable game. 

My score did an integer overflow, but I dig the concept.

This deserves a timelapse over the rating period.

Interesting literal take on the theme. I feel as if the concept is a little flawed. Balancing the weight is not difficult, and actually gets easier over time (e.g. adding 3 kg when there's already 100 kg on each side is not gonna significantly tip the scale). But then, if the challenge is not in balancing each side, then the point of the game is to pack the ubicados as densely as possible in the size available. Which begs the question: are the scales important for that? There isn't any consequence for dumping an ubicado you don't want (which also makes packing compactly easier). Overall I feel the need of an additional twist to make the concept interesting.

The more I got used to the controls the more this felt skillful to play. At first it was awkward, but then I got the hang of jumps and it was satisfying. One of my favorite entries in the jam. As I got better at it, I found I didn't have to use both arms, so that might be something to think about.

This is great, and I'm happy to see on the game page you're planning on a full release. This is satisfying like a tile placement games (with all the items giving each other bonuses based on being adjacent and other rules), but in a realtime hectic way. Super satisfying and I played it a lot (got 1000+ score!). The only critique I have is that if you avoid making the conveyor go faster and the food production increase, then the difficulty doesn't increase much.

This was hilarious to play. The angry italian sound bites were a great touch.

When I was in the brainstorming stage of the jam I was worried a platformer where the player scales would be really common. The portal mechanic puts a fresh spin on that, which made for some good levels here. I initally somehow missed you can drag portals and only figured it out later when I was stumped on a puzzle (if you get that feedback from other people it's a problem, if not, it's just me being a dumbass).

The game was engaging and I got stubborn and kept playing it until I beat it. 

There are a lot of things here, and some ended up not meshing too well. The energy capacity is very low, and you're a sitting duck when you're out of energy, which also makes the weapons more of a liability. The best strat for me was to hover close to the lava and use the hook as a weapon. But this also means I didn't use the hook for mobility by grappling to walls, and I didn't want to pick weapons from upgrades. A more minor issue was the upgrades offering duplicates.

I don't mean to sound harsh, I enjoyed playing it. There are good things in there, like the knockback on the hook made combat feel great against multiple enemies. It just feels like it needs some tweaks. Give me a reason to use weapons. Give me a reason to use the hook for mobility. Not sure how to tweak it, but more generous energy seems like a good start.

I like how you used Return of the Obra Dinn style confirmation to make some open-ended puzzles, kinda feels like an escape room. I dig the atmosphere and artstyle too. Like another reviewer, I struggled with the Ruins puzzle.

This scratches my itch as a player. I love Balatro and the likes, I love tile placement games. This is competently made and satisfying to play. I would pay money for a full version of this, with more polish (especially for scoring, sound effects at the very least), and balance (I found it a bit easy). Being able to zoom out would be nice too. BIG shame about the crashes.

The character movement is a bit scuffed, but I don't mind since there's a good set of mechanics that play nicely with each other. The wind and the breaking blocks interacting differently with the different scales are solid.

This is great.  The mechanics create some great puzzles and overall they play really well. The artstyle is also very pretty and looks clean: I think the pixels properly being on a grid really helped it (I will admit that's not something I ever pay enough mind to for a jam).

I only encountered a couple issues: 1. it seems like the water stops building up at some point even though it's not leaking anywhere 2. I got stuck on level 8, where the blue shiny didn't shrink the other vine, even after I brought water to it.

This is such a good puzzle game once it clicks. Absolutely great mechanics with tons of potential, and decent puzzles. The one critique I have is how the player is not slowely eased into the mechanics, and the lack of order to the puzzles doesn't help. Like, I initially stumbled on the "Basement Dweller" puzzle, which is way harder. I restarted and played the other levels in order to truly get into it.

Simple, but engaging. I found myself playing through all the levels.

Cute concept. Getting some Vampire Survivors vibes from the combat.

Enjoyable puzzle game. Was gonna say the puzzles are a bit easy, but then I got to the secret levels which were an appropriate challenge. Also, props for including an undo button for this style of game.

This was an enjoyable puzzle platformer, I played it through to the end. A good amount of levels, each exploring the mechanics.

Really like the take on the theme. Hits it right on the head,  and comes up with something unique. Relaxing and enjoyable to play,. I only wish for more quality of life features to make big levels less tedious, like a fill tool for the 2d part.

Cute little game. The rain added a nice challenge. Quite a lot of levels out of few mechanics.

I agree with what Kibate said. The pieces should not be sticky. Let the idea go wild, I want to drop a piece at full speed and bounce everything around!

I would recommend you check out Not Tetris 2, which is a version of Tetris with rigidbody physics. It handles line clears by cutting the pieces like you mentioned in your video. I expected a softbody version of Not Tetris 2, but the stickiness of the pieces doesn't help.
