Really well done! It looks great while being very simple and readable, and the game was super fun to play through the whole time. A couple of the physics puzzles felt a little finnicky to play through, but still some cool puzzles in here.

Really well done! I think this kind of game isn't for me but I think you nailed the rage platformer vibe

Super fun! And the visuals work great with the audio to make a pretty clear vibe. I think the gameplay was too fast and wound up very spammy or floaty to me, but still had a good time building and playing through the levels

It's pretty cool to see a first person version of agar.io! I think the game was well done but I was pretty confused starting out. I walked the wrong way and it took me a bit to find food to start growing with. Really funny take with the final boss too, nice work!

This is a really cool puzzle game! A really unique take on the theme, and youve captured a pretty chill vibe with the audio and visuals. There are a lot of tense moments as I'm panicking and trying to find which planet to scale to avoid crashing, which is a lot of fun. Nice job on making so many diverse levels too.

I've been loving minesweeper lately, this is a super fun take on it. I wish I could zoom in, I fat-fingered a few tiles on hard mode and blew up :(. Really nice job tho, android version worked great

My only critique is that the hotbox on the sword should match the visuals. But really fun overall and a great game!

Very lovely art style, color palette and music!

Such a creative game mechanic, and it's incredibly fun and addicting. Awesome job!

Wow such a big world to explore! And it all felt very polished as well. I did find the wall jump a bit frustrating to land sometimes but everything else was very smooth. Also a very big fan of the art style and shading, on the concrete tile blocks especially I found the shading really popped and made things look great. Did find the music a bit repetitive after awhile, but probably that's more to do with how much time I was able to spend playing

This is a cool idea I'd love to see expanded on. Strong "vibes" and I like the art and lighting. It wasn't very clear to me what damage was doing when I pressed it, but I still pressed it pretty much whenever I could. Something that might help could be an enemy which uses a shield, so you'd need to save your attack for when it's vulnerable. Also wanted to mention I somehow totally skipped past the horde on my first try and only fought the boss  ( though on my second playthrough I was able to fight both)

Great job nailing the relaxing vibes, with the music and artwork especially. Though I think the game was too hard for me, I enjoyed playing the full package put together here

Lots of great games to try in this thread, thanks everyone! Here's our entry: https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2023/rate/2348282

Love Godot and glad to see it becoming more popular in jams - here's our game, and my first time using Godot for a 3d project: https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2023/rate/2348282

Will take a look at everyone's game here soon

I'm a big fan of the stripped back music! I do wish there was just more going on such as powerups and stuff , but as a quick little challenge it is fun, addicting, and visually clean.

The tension of realizing you've gone a little too deep and trying to race up while watching my oxygen meter drop lower and lower with each refill, until eventually riight before I hit zero it starts filling back up again was amazing. Really fun and satisfying progression which is well balanced. Nice job!

I got a score of 84,982,128 on a photo thanks to a x836 distance to camera multiplier! I love how the different values factor into the score and overall the gameplay loop is really fun. I also had fun just swimming around exploring the map and I'd love to see deeper and deeper locations with more gameplay elements in the future

Hi, absolutely, thanks! And please share it when you release it :)

Love that little flame so much! The game is deceptively cute for how hard it is lol.

Thanks so much for your kind words fellow dwarf game dev :)

This is a really fun game! And even though the art is pretty minimal, I actually really like the aesthetic you went for. One quality of life thing I wanted was a button to restart the run after I screwed up instead of having to alt+f4. I got a sub 30s run!

The game overall is really cool, atmospheric, and grabbed me immediately which is amazing. I love the concept, but I had to give up because the puzzle was too hard for me trying to read the text and think was giving me a headache. It sounds like others were able to get further into the game, I think I'm just a low skill player :)

A lot of fun and has some great art as well. Some of the sound mixing was too loud for me (the enemy death sound) but I liked the effects. I think I soft-locked myself on the third level. I didn't explore the entire top-most section but I mined out the blocks which would have let me jump up there, and I'm unable to find another route or enough loot to fill the quota. Despite this I think the levels are well designed to be engaging to explore

Crimson Dunes and Utopena are both incredibly fun and addicting to play. Dreamweaver Clinic is so so so charming

This game is a ton of fun. The enemies feel varied and exciting to face. The movement and shooting feels responsive and the recoil mechanic adds a lot to the platforming segments. Love the upgrades too. I just want to play more honestly, nice job

This is a really fun and addicting game. I only wish there was some kind of animation or delay when fish hit the side and turn around because I would accidentally catch them there pretty often. Besides that though I think it strikes a good balance of not too challenging but still engaging to play and the progression system is really clear and engaging.

I had a giant smile on my face the entire time playing this game. It's charming, wholesome and beautiful. The music was simple but watching her play her song was such a lovely moment and I think you did an amazing job for your first time composing music. Super super impressive!

This game is so slick and fun to play! I love the interpretation of the theme too, the menu theming and all the art looks really stylish. The controls definitely took time to get used to, and I tried many times but couldn't beat the boss fight, but likely a skill issue :)

The music, sounds and art are all great. A lot of lovely underwater music tracks this jam but I think this one is my favorite. It did take me a second to realize how the delay worked, I thought the heart was just moving toward my mouse cursor every once in a while. And because I was jumping to a spot and then stopping, it would move and then stop over and over. Once I realized it was on a delay though, the game went great. Would be curious to see other ways to play with this delayed mouse follow mechanic

I wish I was better at speed-runny games like this because I feel like this game would be a lot of fun to optimize your route through. The mechanics are cool and the art is really nice and minimalist. Nice job!

I'd love to see you expand on this. A game where the player only interacts with the world through a screen abstracting the data is a really fun premise. Great choice of sounds which made for a lovely vibe. A CRT shader effect would have been a neat addition to the screens!

The levels of polish you fit into this game is crazy! It's super fun to play. The progression curve is really well balanced imo and encouraged me to start making the choice of ignoring earlier fish to progress faster. I love how you paced the story and intertwined it with the mechanical progression as well. The art is so charming and suits everything perfectly. The audio and visual changes as the story progressed are so awesome and exciting as a player -- I think that this game does everything it needs to do perfectly as a short and simple game.

I love this art style, very much fits the spooky dive vibes well. I would have enjoyed it a bit more if you amped up the horror element a bit as the tension gradually fell away for me until the ending but it was still a cool and ominous experience

This is a fun FPS with some great trippy visuals. I think you nailed the movement and feeling of shooting the gun to feel really satisfying. The vibes hit perfectly with all the assets combined here. Some parts of the level design I liked -- the checkerboard art and the weird abstract geometry just floating in dream space is cool and fun to play in, but there was definitely some awkward moments where I could just shoot a bunch of the enemies from far away without any consequences. And having to restart from the beginning after dying is so brutal!

Really fun to explore around underwater. I think all the different options I had to work with were really cool. It feels tense as you get deeper and start wondering whether there are monsters around. I like the art, especially the environment art and the ship. The sound and audio are also great and immersive. Overall a really great game!

I like this interpretation of the theme and the unique gameplay of hunting through web pages to find dark secrets. The occult mystery was too obscure for me to fully solve but 2/3 aint bad :) This is a cool project!

The art is really cute, especially the top hat on that frog :) The gameplay reminds me of those warp puzzles from the team rocket base in pokemon, which is cool and fun.

This game is so incredibly stylish and polished, I adore the way the walls morph around your character as you approach them. I love the way the tears sound hollow and squishy. I now understand the sensation Stanley Yelnats and Zero must have felt eating those onions at the end of Holes. It's a genuinely inspiring game jam entry to play

Really beautiful art style, the ambient sounds are great and it's really fun to play. I love having to drop the harpoon to drag around different items.
