It's really interesting how you tried to use all 3 of the challenge options at once. It creates a very silly and fun track. I also like the overall composition and mix.

Gosh, this is so catchy! The sound effects add so much character and you use them in a really creative way. Great job!

Considering the challenge, I wasn't expecting for any of the submissions to be "elegant", but I'd say yours certainly is! The composition and mixing are really well done, and the way you interpreted the cover art is very creative. I do think that how the song incorporated the challenge should've been a little clearer though.

The song had some super interesting sections. Like the sudden transition at 1:50, that was awesome. Overall, I feel like this is a very creative take on the challenge. It felt a little repetitive at some parts, but still a great submission.

Good mix and composition. Also makes good use of the challenge. This will probably end up being my favorite submission of the jam. Great work!

This is really creative and incorporates the challenge well. It's also surprisingly well mixed for how chaotic the composition is. I would've preferred a little more consistency to make the music feel more cohesive, but I can totally see why you chose this direction instead.

Incredibly creative concept, and the song's super engaging! I think it's a little hard to tell where the song incorporates the challenge, but the quality of the music makes it well worth it.

Your song is super creative and unique. It's impressive how it manages to remain engaging throughout the whole 3 minutes. I think the only thing I'd change is making the volume more consistent.

AHHHH! sorry... the pipe scared me.

I really like your composition! It fits the challenge well. The track could've been a little shorter, and I think the cat sounds could've been a little louder, but other than that, great job!

It's simple, but I always enjoy a good typing game. The visuals and the sound effects make it even better. The only real suggestion I would have would be to put the words you need to type closer to the center of the screen, it's a little akward having to look to the side. Great submission!

It's a really interesting concept that fits right in with the theme. I think the presentation could've used some work, but the core game mechanic has a lot of potential.

I really liked the sounds and music. I also think the concept fits right in with the theme. I think the controls could've used some work, but other than that, good job!

This fit the theme really well. It was also surprisingly fun to play, reminded me a bit of Papers Please.

I really liked the writing, art, and music. They all went together really nicely and made me really invested in the story. This definitely has a lot of potential if you ever choose to expand upon it.

The controls and level design were really interesting. I also liked the music and sound effects, but the visuals could've used a little work. The heat stroke mechanic made the game a lot more interesting to play, and made it get pretty tense towards the end. Overall, nice submission!

The controls were a little weird, but almost everything else was good. The visuals and music were really nice, and I definitely see how it fit the theme. The story was kind of fun as well. The only big suggestion I have would be to have slightly more interesting level design. I like how it was split into different environments, but I feel like there should've been something more.

Super creative idea, and the music's also really good. Sometimes the controls just stopped working though, and I had to restart a couple times.

This is really well-written. The melody matches great with the theme and is fun to listen to. You also picked just the right instruments to capture the setting you were going for.

The song matches the theme very well, it's really easy to imagine walking through the mostly-empty city at midnight. It's also just a really pleasant song to listen to.

This is really creative and has a lot of very interesting sections and musical ideas. It does feel a little unorganized at times, although that might've been intentional. This is the most creative submission I've seen so far. Very well done!

You managed to capture so much energy and match the theme really well in this song. The melody is super catchy and is fun to listen to the whole way through. There could've been a little more variety, but aside from that, this is easily one of the highest-energy songs in this jam.

I agree with your feedback, there are a few sections of my song that feel disconnected and aren't very memorable. I'll try to think more about structure next time. Thank you for listening and providing such a helpful comment, I really appreciate it.

I think the song is very creative and fits what you were going for very well. I espcially like the specific soundfonts you used and think they work really well together. My only issue is the melody seems a little off at times and isn't all that catchy. I think with a little more time this could be a much more memorable song.

I think both of the pieces are very creative and match well with the theme. I especially like the melody of "The Arcade". Some parts of "Pinball Metropolis" could've been cut out to make the song shorter and more memorable though. Overall, I think you did a great job! :)

Thank you so much for all your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed my game.

Yep, the player sprite is little strange. I probably should've put more time into it. Thanks for the feedback though!

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that I should've made the later levels more balanced, especially the enemies that shoot.

Thanks! I'm glad someone noticed the music getting more intense.

Thank you!

Yeah, I wish I had put a little more time into balancing the difficulty.

Very creative idea! It makes good use of the theme. The minigames are also pretty fun, I especially enjoy having a difficulty slider.

This was super well-made. Gives big Inscryption vibes. It was great to see a well-written text adventure in this game jam. I'd love to see this expanded upon.

Very interesting mechanics! Having to pick up bullets is creative and makes the game feel really unique.

Very fun game. The art took good advantage of bloom, and the story was fun to follow.

Very fun gameplay and good music. I also really like all the variations that get thrown in over time.

What a cool concept! I also really like the art.

Great art. It doesn't really follow the theme though, and the screen shake is a bit much.

Great looking art and fun platforming! I love your use of colors and shapes to make interesting environments.

It really like the idea of evolving up and down. The art also looks very nice. The gameplay was a bit rough though.
